among themselves. " 1.11, good morning,

Every village or community, we doubt
net, has its Hugh Sinintotols —somewhat
dissimilar from the gentleman of whom we
write, perhaps, so far as the pervonelle is
concerned, but boasting the same character.
A very intensely loyal younimln, who de
nominated Mr. Lincoln as the flovernment,
and bad a perfect contempt and 'intolerance
in regard to those who differed w ith hint in

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

tio Charlie Bra.l.linw didn't attempt to
desert, eh ?'' queried the elder Miss Clark,
as she ruumaged in n closet for camphor.
" No, at lenot I never heard as he did,
and for all that, he fmyht have done so. you

after the funeral . ; but to Lase
justice done to Charlie Bradshaw the affair

, One day came the terrible Jackson fight,
and among the killed was found the - white,
upturned face of Charlie Bradshaw, his
golden brown curls dipped with gore, one
of the many victims 'of Loutuan's terrible
mistake.
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.
"Only a copperhead ; a good thing he
enlisted, as it helped to fill the quota and
prevent the draft ; but its well enough he's
out of the way."

of President Lincoln,is thttliturngestenn of
the late eminent tragedian, JIIIIIII9 Brutus

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

a fine manly. muaCidnribtars, standing Erect,
with a (pick, elastic step ; a Lead of good

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

passed to him a tract of land which, ih lega

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. Ile proposed to
personate Romeo, and those *dm had seen

he was self-possessed.. 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

rasher known for his convivial qualities, and
nay always considered a "hail fellow well

a deliberate injury. This horrible tragedy,
which buds no parallel in history, has not
only plunged the country in a gloom it has
never before experienced, but the report that
Wilkes Booth is connected with it:Ting'

that,Sherman, some twenty years ago, leas

the two lections was manifestly
Sherman resigned his attics in Louisiana.,
and approached General Bragg with a view
of. taking leave of him. He said to General
Bragg: •I see plainly ,that war is at hand ,
Educatgil a soldier, I cannot remain in the
South without taking up arias, and I du not
see my way to fighting egainst my own
kinsmen from Qhio. But, come what may,

• • I must add that Generar Bragg Cabo
told me his story a_few weeks ago) seemed
little disposed, upon reflection, to censure
General Sherman harshly for his change of
opinion. The strange enthusiantic temper
of Sherman seemed to be fully known to
Bragg.
',lt is remembered that in a recent con
reraation which Sherman had in Georgia
with Mrs. Elliott, '(the daughter-in-law of
the Episcopal Bishop - of Georgin,) be said
to her, upon her expressing a wish to re
turn to toittli Carolina, ' Yon . will be going,
