This wan the life long Demorrat (7) who cried " cop perhead " to every true Democrat.—and so loyal! But tolgo on with our story. After Char lie Bradshaw 'went to war, this perfectidn of loyalty continued to flourish like a young bay, tree. The State coda had been filled and the fear of the draft being over, the youth settled down quietly to rend the Tri bun, and wait on his customers. Ar, for the pretty, spirited Nellie Bradshaw, she had apprenticed herself to the milliners, the :.lisses Clark, and tried to think she was happy reading Charlie's lefters, and writing to-hirrm 4nd burying-herself - with-her nreglir __The Nils.ses Clark, two spinsters of tin eertn:p Age, however, made pence and hap- Pinola a moral impossibility for Nellie; they made . Nr. Simmonds a welcome visitor, " such a good loyal young mien be was," and they heartily enjoyed Nellie's discom fiture when she would leave the room, or ) get into a remote corner to avoid him. Mr. llngh alputtoinds used to entertain tsis hot4essesa, and rice versa, with long tirades about the "'copperheads in the army, as well us at home;" and one day of great glee, when pretty little Nellie had more than noisily evidenced her dislike for him, lie drew ii tinily pnper from bin pocket and twined it into her lap, exclaiming, so may it be with all tortes." The pnper was masked with_ a pencil at this passage: %moat tliose.:who fell. at was Chat les Bradshaw. lie vans shot by his own (twain, while attempt:lngle desert to the enemy.

What's the difference if ho was killed," sneered the loyal people of his town when they saw his new in the list of the killed.

JOHN WILKES BOOTH John liCillres Booth, who has heretofore been familiarly and favorably known to the theatrical public, and whose name has been, snidenri - nint nnexrectedly brought before the entire world so prunduendy in connec tion with the terribly tragic assassination of President Lincoln,is thttliturngestenn of the late eminent tragedian, JIIIIIII9 Brutus Booth, who was the only suecebeful rival of the elder .Kenn. John Wilkes Booth has three brothers': Richard, the eldest, an ac complished linguist: norin Europe; Junius Brutus, au actor, hite4y of San Francisco, I:alifornia, but now in the west, an, who was about to conmience an engngement at Pike's Opera House in Cincinnati, and 'Ed win, the distinguished trag,..tati, a tevdent of Now York city, but . who, the past week, has been fulfilling a successful engagement at the Boston ,Thentre • There is also a sic, ter, Agnes, who is the wife of the well known ootrnedian, Mr, John S.

John Wilkes the subject of this sketch, was so named by his lather in honor of the famous English actor of that name; t•a is now but in the twenty-sixth year of his , having been born in liarford county, near Eel Str , it the state of Maryland, in the year 1869.. H. has been well and carefuily reared and edit mited, receiving part of hie tuition at St. Timothy's Hall, in Catonsville, about six miles Mtn Baltimore, which institution he left in Mil, and fiuised biA . education at the- Newton University, on Lexington street, ert street, in Baltimore City, in 1857. Ile is a young 11111.11.0 f remarkable personal attractions, being five feet and be tween eight and nine inches iii height, with a fine manly. muaCidnribtars, standing Erect, with a (pick, elastic step ; a Lead of good size nud shape, well poised; prominent, regular features of classic mold; a full, bright, jet-black eye, animated by kindness and intelligence; a black, well-trimmed inonspielie, and a wealth of soft, dark, curly hair. le drosses with punctilious neatness and would attract attention anywhere. When at school he showed no particular fondness for the histrionic art, seldom, if evercgiving a recitation, but was quite par tial making stump speeches to the boys, in which he displayed considerable elo quence, originality, and power- His vuice, however, was much against him, which an noyed him exceedingly. lie seemed tu Euffer from'a natural bron chial affection, which gave hit tones at times a peculiarly painful bushiness, mid which, no doubt, many will remenitior fre quently characterizes Eawin Booth's vthee. latlin Wilkes Booth was not only respected by his friends And companions, but was sin cerely beloved by them. Ho was frank and brave, and always gentle and winning in his manners and diapmdtion, but firm and determined in his purposes. lle was not remarkable in his studies, but was con , id, erect a fair scholar He, howeser, excelled in athletic sports, being 'strong of body and lithe of limb, and was rplendidly fitted fur vigorous exercise, and he •had few rivals mon. his companions who _could., him in running, wrestling. and horseback riding, lie is an accomplished swordsman, and a splendid shot Also-Lin fact being en adept in all the manly spr,rts, in which he always took great delight. When he grew to manhood be had no particular employ ment, and finding that his brothers, - Junius and Eiftvin, had succeeded in the theatrical profession, and believing that his name would secure him recognition find success , without any grekt study or prepsfat ion, lie decided to make his dehut on the stage. Ile appeared in Philadelphia, first playing subordinate parts, and in 1350 and in 1860 performed quite a suemisfill engagement in Moutgomery, Alabama, and since then ho has perfoimed at the principal theatres in the country. He, however, has been re garded by t'hc best critics as a careless ac tor, possessing, nevertheless, histrionic ge nies, natural, of codrse. and with every prospect of excelling in his Art by the prop er application and study. The advice the critics gave him he has apparently disre garded; and, it seems ho determined some time since to abandon the profession. His first appearance was at Widlack's old theatre under the management of Miss Mary Pro vest, lie appeared in his father'a great role of Richard the Third, but met with, a failure; his engagement terminated sud denly, nor (lid he appear again in this city until the 28d of last November, when the brilliant Booth combination benefit was given at the Winter Carden to the Central Palk Shakespeafe Monument Fund, on which occasion he assumed the role of hierc Antony in the great bard's Roman tragedy of Julius Caesar—Edwin performing Brutus ' and Junius that of Cassius. John Wilkes' associations hale prinoipally been with the South, and the current of his sympathies have run that way, though he was not more demonstrative in giving expressions to them than others of his associates, and having hosts of warm friends in the eorth, when in their society never offended their feeeling by unnecessary or bitter reflections, though there •were occasions when arguments would arise, and he would take a decided stand' n favor of his sympathis lie 'has never had acottuveiseiOn in the tonfedcrate . arm .y, . lhe riballioh has he been, flitter soititCtlistit Lle fustivo State. This "STATE RIGHTS AND ITIDEILAL UNION." is positively asserted by hose,who have con- Monti? been with him. ' Some month's, ainie lie loaned a young friend of his, who owned some oil rands in Pennsylvtrda,,a sum of money, and to secure the loan his friend passed to him a tract of land which, ih lega ted. ibis said, near Oil CitY, and being won derfully rioh in oil deposit, has yielded him over 3100,000. For mouths past bo has devoted his :whole a!tentioh to the oil busi ness, having entirely abandoned the stage. lie appeared. however, in the latter_part of January,,at Grover's 'nestle, in Washing ton, 'for the benefit of Miss Avonia, Jones, having, prior to that time,-played st the Boston Museutu, and then declared that it should bo his last appearance on the stage. On the occasion of the benefit - or )Jigs Jones the house was crowded in every part, even the aisles being filled so that epee's was almost impossible.

It was easy far a stranger to behove dine some female had as sumed the pail, and - those who . had hopes ling. he would rise to eminence from the' crude promise of his New. York perform ances were inclined to think that he could never achieve any great .histrionte distinc tion. Eierything m his acting of Romeo betrayed a self-imposed task, to the execu tion of which, for his whit reputation, Ine was indifferent. Wilkes Booth was in this city some eight days ago, and met many of his friends, and when he left it was supposed he was going frt Oit City or same other locality in Penn sylvania. A — gentleman who knows him well, and who has been in Wirshiatinon, says that he bad not seen him there, and 'llene , when the announcement was made that he was the supposed assassin, his friends were seized wish surprise and consternation.
