courageous girl, placed his mantle upon
her fcl ooldois, and having given btr the
countersign, he depaited.
So great was the gratification which
the nobhu.ioded girl felt in having relieved
the difctiess of her lover, that t-he seaicely
felt the Severity of the weather, although
it wri almost iusuppoi table.
She Lud been but a short time perform-

and the poor creature, trembling v.i;h

centinel was asleep or absent, approached, j

with most poigtiar.t grief how the aliair

Idace, with hr Lair streaming in the
wind, and her eyes bathed with tears, to
find pome oue who could aid her in her
deep d'tBtreiSS.
The even?, so novel and so strangf, had
ttkeady fexcited iu all hearts feeling of
compassion for the two unfortunate lovers.
No one could fail to aJmirc the courage
and devotion of the young girl who had
givGu such prods of her tendsr affection.
The citizens of all classes made haste to
show the interest which they full in the
two young persons, and especially person
age of rank were q lick to,-use their good
offices to obtain some mitigation of the
rigors of the military law. The ladies

Tlia ililug Adventure Tvlt2i a Slat-
L,pt Monday morning, Mr. Hichard
Bennett, a student, who is enjoying a sum
mer vacation at his fathci's well appointed
mansion, a short distance southwest of
Dubuque, took u volume of Tennyson's
poems in his hand and wandered out to
repose beneath some rocks which extended ' tnr! v,a3 restored there was another ! ids own wants and those of his family.

upon the poetical truths and beauties J pulled from exulting pockets, and the I house, affording an inviting shade, while
bveathed forth by the pe;et laureate. He j platform w-as speedily crowded with the j walks and drives are abundant without
flung himself down upon the grass and was j "unterrihed." I'eni vnh-vici. The Conser-j materially encroaching upon the useful
soon lost in contemplation of kings and vatives nicknamed their loi-dtxut.t friends j uess of the soil. The house is furnished
princes, tshady grottoes, summer bowers ' "Locofocos." But as all still rallied at j ;n keeoin" with its own outward appear-
and enchanted land, until overcome by the
tbcmcfi presented anJ the warm weather,
he fell asleep.
How lone he lay thus lis knew not ; it
. .. . -
mia:ht have been fur hours, but he wr.s
suddenly awakened by a peculiar rustling
noise close beside him. Instinctively he
tarned hk head to the point from whence
tho souod .proceeded, when ho beheld a
eight which filled him with horror, and
which ho, if an ordinary man, will not be
opt to forget until his dydng day. There,
not four feet from him, coiled up as if
ready for a spring, with head erect, eyes
darting fire, and tongue playing like the
forked lightning from the bosom of the
clouds, was an enormous rattlesnake, over
eight feet in length. It would he hard to
describe the ' feelings of licnnctt at that
moment. Freeh acd vigorous, in the spring
time of life, the world with its dazzling
future before him, hardly a stone's throw
from his father's house, death, in its most
terrible form, had apparently come upon j
hiai. Ilia prerer.ee of mind did not desert !
him, however, and lie lay perfectly mo-
tionlesp, fixing bis eyes upon those of his
snakeship, and waiting for new develop
ments. 'I bis appeared to suit the latter.
Gradually he relaxed his menacing atti
tude, and lowerir.g his head, commenced
to crawl slowly toward Bennett, at the
same time emitting a low, murmuring,
singing sound, which the impromptu hear
er describes as having been really delight
ful. Nearer and nearer cum 2 the snake,
Bennett remaiuiner perfectly niotionle s? 'lot
daring to move for fear of the terrible ;
fangs until finally the monster actually
crawled over his lej:s and rustled down by
Lis side like a pet kiiU'n, as much as to
Eay that he was well ph-as.-d with his new
companion, and would forego hostilities.
Here was a dilemma, and how to 'et
out of it the diHiculty. While Bennett 1
was speculating r.s to"how this could be '
done, and revolving over a thousand I
plans, a neighbor chanced to pass along, j
who comprehend the whole situation at a '
glance, and at a mute gesture from Hennctt
rushed to the house for assistance. He
procured a rilL-, and coming back, put the
muzzle within two feet of the head of the
serpent, ar.d with a stead' aim pulled the
trigger. There Wi.s a deafening lepcit,
and the next iuctunt the snake waswtj'h
ing in his death agony while IB-nuett
bounded from the ground, and with the
! exc!an;alion, "Saved ! saved !'; fell faint-
ing in the arms of hi3 preserver.
Ye are aware that there are a few fea
tures conned ed with this snake steirv
somewhat remarkable, but v.e received
the same from reliable authority, and are
not disposed to nuestiun its veracity. The
The hkin was taken from the monster, and
is now hanging up as a trophy where it
can be witnessed by all the cut ions. Dot

SPEECH OF RICHARD 0'GORMAN.
The Triumph of Utnutrwr the taUa.
lion of the Country.
On the 23th uit. there was n grand
mass meeting of the Metropolitan Club, at
which the Hon. Richard O'Gorman v.a.3
present, and spoke as follows :
When brave men go out to battle it is th
praciice to present them with a banner,
whieh sh.ill be- the symbol of the nation iey
represent, of tbe cause they defend. And
round that 1 auner, through ail the stormy
accidents of war, cling man's hopes and
woman's lo ee ; because by that banner fight
true hearts, by that banner is bhed the bloixl
of tla.aj who Lave left their dtMr cnei at
home. Citizens, the banner that ia unrolled
before that is unrobed tcfjie you to-n:ght ia
not the banner tf war, nor the banner of
devastation or destruction. Ou that banner
there is no alienation of nj.n f:o:n man. It
is the banner symbolizing coiici'.AtBn, peace,
law, oid if, and union tbrouguout Le land.
(Great ippiause.) Citizens, we have had
enough if war, enough if eleva. t tti. n,
enough of ruin, almost enough cf what is
called i hi!.-, nth ropy, a htllo t j mueh ot tho
negro iu the United Slates. 1 claim to be a
phdanthropirt, and 1 kuow that I lets the
r.Cg.ro, and would wish to benefit his condi
tion. But there are sjinc white men left iu
the United States ud they hare rights
which the C.ngrif-8 of tbe Ui.it d Siat-
ourhl to be bound to iccognizu, V hat hits
philanthropy, as it ia called, not done? It
claimed that the negro ehi u'.d be emanci
pated he is emancipated. It claimed that
the negro slmald vole he is to ve ts. When
is this philanthropy to stop? Or i it to
idvince until that period projibesied by
w eia.e.i i. n;.;:ps and rsumnor amies, vcht-n
a Kegru shall sit as a Senator e.rscng the
Senators cf the United rUatts? (One i f
No, no ; never !' ) The party which is noiv
doadnatit in the Uuitta States md has
teen dominant fir the pa-t seven years, is a
party cf unrest, a party if progress, as it ia
caKed, a party cf levointion ; and wherever
Wt nde-11 Bi. blips Jo-day plants his standard,
tl.cie to-morrew is the front rak of the Re
publican patty. Beware of it! What he
says is the cry arjd aim of tLat party; aud
it remains with vat, ci:iz-.-ns. it it mains
with all tiie rilir.jJs ed the United States, to
sy whether they will support that party
UL.tii it advances step bv step to the can'u.ii
climax, that a negio shall Le a Senator of
tue L nite-d States. (Oie-a of '2so, uo ; we'll
settle them in the tall!")- Is it not a sin
gular tiling that while the Congress of the
United States has hece coping with all tho.e
measure of so-called iteec:iitructio:i." that
they adj.iurned without providing for build
ing a post-onice in the City of .Sew Yora ?
While they wine thinking of ti e nefiro, the
interest if this great city were r j-lc-etc-d.
I may be told r-y some "ioyal carret-bag-rr"
(laughter and applause) tnat it fs
the duty of Cor.gn.fs to pnuisa the Booth.
"Yes," 1 say, "punhdi the booth." And I
tell you, citizens, how to prtnuh them. 1
would enteQcu them to twenty year of haTd
labor. I would sentence thern to work at
thtir lan', at ploughing their rleids, at
building thtir burnt and destroyed ritles, at
reMxii g U eir railway; and generally tn
uni. as far as possible the rum that h.:d
bien made. 1 would sentence them to labor,
so that they might restore trade and com
merce in the South, and help as tbe lr.eu of
th North, Et and West, ty yih s ane
share of the burdens that are grind. ng n
into tiie dust, (tireat and ntLnria-itic ap-plau.-e
) Yes, let the Sonth Uhor ; M m
not put impediments iu thir way ; let ths
South be pat into a etate of protiactiTenei;
let capital fi J.v into it but how can that be
unless the Southern States are restored to
their place nuder thu (mstitution ? (Ap
plause.) Unless arises before them the secu
rity of the law ? Unless you give them thnt
security for ihe future neither they nor any
other dabs of men will interest themselves
in labor? Now, this 'a no place to argue
many questions that arise upon this topie.
nor am I disp.o. ed to occupy your time with
any such matters. Hut this I say : I io be
lieve that all through the Uuitrd Statats trw
thoughtful, quiet, conservative meu of th
country are desirous of a change. (Great
applause. A voice, "Ye, air,") Citizens,
look around you ! Do yon not ato it is net
well w ith these United States ? Do you not
see Lerc in the great cities of the Fatal the
questiouu agitating society ? The question
which hive been convulsing tho deciwpit
States of Euro e are becoming-earnest and
pressicg here. These great social questions
relating to the distribution of wealth, tho
quarrel be twee a capital aud la-bor, aie as
suming important aspects here ia our midst.
Don't you tee that paupir sru, the curia of
the old decrepit States of Europe, is begin
ning to make it.nelf manifctthero in this new
and youthful country, which for fiva hun
NUMBER 28.
dred years to come bhould not have had a
poor man or an uncmplewed man throughout
its whole length and breadth. (Applatiie.)
Where is the remedy for this? JJo you not
s.e that the dominant party in the United
States is corrupt ?
The llepublican party 5s a party of one
idea. They are all impressed with the ne
cestity of following one course of action.
They are a war party a destructive party
incompetent to deal with the great ques
tions which now demand serious attenti u ;
and unless you change tbe party in power,
there !s no hope of improvement in the Uni
ted States. When the captain of the shin
locks astern and sees a crooked wake, Le puts
another hand at the tiller. If a farmer sees
a furrow not straight he puts another man
to the plow. If a father sees his child sink
ing day by day under the management of tho
physician, what ikej he do but get another
physician ? And what should a nation do
when it sees its dearest interests imperilled,
its dearest hopes in danger ? When it sees
them day by day still linking to a lower aud
a lower deep, tdl the depths of despair are
reached? What should that nation do?
V.'hy it should change tho party that has
held the reins of government, and put an
other in Its place. (Loud cheering.)
We are told that the nominee of the Re
publican party ia a great soldier, aud therefore
siioul 1 have our suffrages. I do not know,
I am not cemqietcnt to give an opinion upon
military affairs. Perhaps he is. But thia I
eay, if he is a great soldier, let him remain
a soldier, and let him not attempt the busl
ine of statesmanship. (Cheers ) Let Grant
retain L1:j position cf Lieutenant General of
th United States armies. Let him continue
to govern the armies of the country. Do
not impose on him a duly which he more
than once said he was incompetent to per
form. I read a fw days ago a letter from
Gen. Grant in which I altogether agree with
him. It was written to the Soldiers' and
Saiiors' Convention a year ago ; and therein,
if the abatement i:-. the papers is bj be credit
ed, General Grant said that in his opinion it
w-a highly improper for a military man to
Contj-ct himself with any political party.
(Ap!at!se.) I jgrce with him. Let him
stay where he is a soldier the first of sol
diers," if you will but no more. (Cheers.)
When Gen. Grnt wis asked to tako a dip
lomatic mission in Mexico, he excused Lim
se'f by saying that he knew nothing of dip
l rr.aey, aud Legged that somebody else
might be put in his place. Well. rOA- that
he is the nominee of the Ileptiblicar.s, I leg
that somebody elo ruay be put in his place,
and. that Seymour be the man. (Uproarious
applause and laughter.) JVe sut-r ultra ere
jndtim. Horatio Seymour is a statesman ;
be is a proved htatesman proved in. the
hour'i.f pen!, r'or a man that was able to
keep the h-nlar cu ,,f hig mind ea be did,
through all the sh;ck of thj war, when
every class of the community was swayed
w.th c i:fhetlng vie ' a and emotions, the man
that coiiki htand as ho did. holding the bal
ance ftirly between all the people and all
ti e interest of tbe great State of New York
during the time he w as Governed that man
is fit to be Pre idc-ut of the United States.
(P.eaewed applause.) Now. citizens, I like
t see thia growing enthusiasm. It is r.c:t
by speeches this battle we have to fight shall
le won. It is by work, continued and well
d sciplined liT rt from club such as yon,
gentle-men, have tWen f irming here. We
must labor t ) disseminate our views aud the
reasons ur..n which they are grounded. For
we appeah to no passions ; we raise no j.re
judiees ; w endeavor to recall no hatred ;
we s:mply lay before th people of the
United States Republican, Democratlo,
Conservative, what yon will we simply lay
bt-f rs all mn that live, in the land and love
it, the reasons that induce tia to believe that
a change in the government ought at once
to be inangnrate-L And elepeL-.hng on tha
reasons we adduce, and trusting to the corn
men reuse of the peipie, we go into this
battle fearless and hopeful of victory.
(A pplau -i.) Upon tbe banner w"hi eh floats
above us I see representations cf tbe genius
if commerce and of agriculture. ThiB club
is f .rmed, not of preTesfeioual politicians,
but c-f men engaged in commerce, and they
come to take pait in the struggle because
they feel that the interests of commerce de
mand a different policy in the government.
They reprcse&t a!-o agricnlture. because the
interests of agriculture that great founda
tion ef all a nation's wealth are imperilled
dlrs the onward course of thtise men is ar
ret".1 at once. AH the interests of tho
c .nr.try all that is to be ce-cserved a'l
that is worth preserving all these are nt
rtni.2. ADd tins cltib was organized for
tius purpose and it is an cxamplo to other
clubs, and will show what thoughtful, e.r
r.tst men can do to secure a triumph ia
November next. (Applause.)
And now. citizens, that banner is stirred
by every brevzi or by breezes from the
Witt, from Ohio, a great State that desires
white mm ehoald be governed by white men.
(ApT.laase.) It is stirrtd by brc-izos from
the Eat, where every day better rjws is
comlr.g tu assure n of a triumph in Novem
1 er. (Applause.) It is stirred by the hope,
stirred . by the lglngs of all men who lova
liberty and republican institutions. This
banner given t the Lrfcezs to-night will
wave Butil the battle is over ; and we and
you, and all of us may stand here rejoicing
in tbe glorious victory that has been obtain
ed. (jChners.) A victory not for a section
not for North. South, Past, or West uot
for a class, not for a party but a victory
f.-jr all the citizens of tho United State a
victory for republican institutions a victory
in which lepnblicans all over the world ruay
rejoice and take part and congratulate tho
