One story was toTd'hira with great relish by the real estate owner him u olf, and ia briefly os follows: A few-years -since Mr.-tfennings took occasion to ride:,out in a buggy to'his extensive uncultivated lands, in a .certain .county in Northern Ohio. Ilia hundreds'Of-acres there were covered with virgin forest.and afforded the best -piwaihlo opportunity ifor making maple sugar. On ■approaching;}iis- estate, one early spring.day, he saw,a com pony uf tough looking men "feu *i!y tengaged .in making sugar. They .had mot only .tapped his'fiue maples, but evehjrir 'dled'theni.-sp as to bo sure to drain tjle.liist ' drop l of,saccharine. Of course, the girdling fatal to,the trtes. and the sight.'of the “ vandalism” stirred the. (timid of the.owner,, 'but he.sihothered tils wrath, being interiton datß'fiit prosecuting the robbers and destroyers. Ho' apj-roaclied, and, personal stranger as he was, blandly told them that they ought not to girdle the trees, and in quired whoso property they were. “Oh, they belong to that old skin flint Sim Jennings ; haven’t you heard of the d——d old cut throat f” Whereupon they enlarged upon hie “ merits," thunder scar ring the said S. 3. all over with scathing ex pletives, which we would rather not tepeat. The stranger having heard them go over his own biography, inquired as to-lho amount of -sugar thay hod made. They took him.into a rough; improvised shed and showed him some three or four hogsheads and several barrels full of sugar. lie also ascertained the nattiestindresidences of the parties, and then drove on to the couoty seat, and took immediate steps’ to prosecute the whole gang. He made ihem sweat immensely, and to his last days he told with glee the story of bis sweet revenge. Our informant said he had an interview with Mr. Jennings, a year or two since, when the subject l waved lu hot midsummer noun, Jtsttoft and .yellow hair.

Ho possessed en.rtmma wealth, ojiost iy in> the sliape of real estate feed . mortgages on the same. ,He also owned large interests in a number ol Ohio j banks. »H i was noted for his extreme penuriouancas' and;,'intense devotion to money making.- Though worth millions, when frfiveliug on thocars hewould carry a lunch in his pooke* fbytfave the ex pense of adinner at an .eating house..* He bought a plain brick residence below Wells vilie, on the Virginia side of-.th'e Ohio river, and made that his home, to escape paying taxes in Ohio on his mortgages; judgment nates.and money. Healwa » managed some how ; to avoid paying a large share of the tax es justly due from hiifc. The heavy federal income tax nearly broke his heart. He was very obese and gross lookin'!, and for several years drank whisky in large quantities. He was probably the richest man in Ohio lie leaves no direct issue—dying childless. He bus several collateral heirs, however, ‘but leaves pniperty enough to bestow a large for tune on each of them* -We Have not heard that lie left any bequests to benevolent ob jects. . curred to the subject, as if the ashes had sud denly been blown off from the embers of firs smouldering imagination,'revealing that ha had yet a little warmth of human sympathy and benevolence, But the old nature or wrapping of h bit was never sloughed ; the glow Of mingled ambition and charity died olit, and the old man dropped dead off his chair, the other Sabbath Pay, and lives in no monumental asylum, college or charitable in stitution of any sorl.” A TPiLLINQ TIME. : In d. 852 a famous oomnnut advertised that he Would make an ascension from Oakland, ‘California. ‘lt Was u total novelty to nine tenths of those he addressed, and the public •rushed-to seediim io 'crowds. -hi the centre of tlio space from which the ascent was to be made the-huge sphere floated,*held down to vulgar earth hj a dozen ropes .gasped by as rtnihy persons elected from among the by slanders.

He \yas proha bly-plaving fredze-uut pokt*r with some flush miner, in soihe adjoining, tavern, a la Arte mus Ward, and could not be choked off. In a few minutes more the ‘machine' would have torn into threads, when a gust of wind arising, the balloon Was suddenly -wrenqhod from the hands of those that held it», and rushed like a rocket straight toward,; the clouds. Did we say wrenched from all? JJo, not from all I A cry-of horror rose from the late turbulent crowd; .for there.clinging ; to a slight wooden cross piece attache’! to dtp af the cords, was a small dark object, which every one pronounc'd to he a human being. A lad who.had been selling papers among the crowd was one of those who had vdibn teaied to hold the guys, and not being sutti oiently alert had been car led off by the bal loon. The spectators were appalled, arid every observer momentarily expected in see him drop. But the young adventurer had no sncli idea, and those..wh « had glasses saw him clamber up the cord and seat him elf astride the cross-piece. The balloon ascend* od upwarduntil in the' glowing rays of the sun it seemed like a speck and then vanished altogether. It would hnvo been difficult just then to have insured the life of that hoy at any pre mium. Ah for the involuntary Aeronaut, what must have been his feelings us he found himself-thus severed from the firm mirth to which ho had been accustomed. At first bin little heart was in his throat, and he seemed to have suddenly fallen from some vast height in to. abyss of fathomless air. The world vanished instantaneously from sight. The boy hod unfortunately wound the cord about his bond in such n manner that it was impossible to let go »t once. Yet knowing the fate that awaited him should he fall, ho had, by the exertion of an amount of strength Wonderful un one so young, contrived to as sume the position of comparative sneft-y al ready i oted.

A Good Irish Anecdote. —Some years Binco. when the beautiful pointing of Adam and Ere was exhibited in Ireland, it became the chief topic of conversation. Finally’a poor, racked, illiterate peasant went to nee it. The light was bo arranged as to reflect on the picture, and leave the spectator in comparative darkness. The peasant, as ho entered the.room to see his first parents, was struck with so much astonishment that he remained speechless for s »me m mients. Ho stood like a statue, as though his fret were incorporated with the oaken floor of the room. At last, with an effort, ho turned to an ac quaintance and said.: “ Barney.

Hu always uphold the authority of the Federal Government to compel the in habitants of the Scutes, by military, force, to obey the laws. President Buchanan has been persistently accused of feebleness and imbecility in ne glecting to put strong garrisons in the South ern torts; in failing to assume toward tli« South a high attidude of milirarv menace; and in not preventing Secretary F.oyd sup plying the South with arms taken from. No rthern .arsenals. Those charges have been industriously circulated by common rumor, and nioro than once made in print by so re nowned an officer as General Scott. All these, charges are triumphantly refuted by the ex President—everybody will regret to see with how much damage to the reputation for accuracy of their chief author. There was certainly a discreditable and J mprovidem irnbcojlTty~}n - tlrnt - rhroateuiTTg' crisis: but it lay at the door of C ingress, not of the President. The hi indnnss and. in fatnation of that body wa* as disgraceful as it was astonishing. Wi h'State lifter State seceding, and the whole S .uth full of 11 the bustle' of military preparation, no law was passed authorizing the President to raise an additional stddier, or appropriate a dollar to pay one:. The humming.administration was left osJieloles and destitute as die ontoiing; and when Sumpter was fired on and captured, president .Lincoln was , 'CQippelled t in the stress £ the emeigeicy, to raiae.’froopn wit hour 'the authority of law. ‘ Way did n.tP/o ideot Buchanan do the (dune? For two sufficient reasoha; the crisis justifying so hold a step had not come; anti even if it had .Congress ivasin.session and could have supplied the authority. President Buchanan, ns early as the Bth of- January, sent a special message to Congress laying .before them the alarmin' state of the counfry, and submitting to their decision the ■tiesefisity. of efficient military preparati n\, On die this message was referred to a spe cial committee of which Mr. llenyndlds was ■chairman ; lie reported a bill on the 30th, and killed hitt own bill bi/ withdraioing //.thesame day, with the approbation of the House.

Lincoln had pre viously arrived in Washington, fresh from making speeches in which he declared that nobody was hurt, and it was by the motion of his Intimate friend, Mr. Corwin, that ac tion on this subject was finally defeated. The 'friends of the new‘President must have been, at that time, very confident of a peaceful set tlement. and have deemed all miliiarv prepa ration 11 needlees, -even ns a : preoautiouary measure. iTt'vrwa the purposemf President Buchanan to oiilleot ithe. revenue at Charleston nt all hazards, eveh if he had to ea'uhleh .the cos. tom house on a Vessel of war. at the’ mouth of the harhor. o But the oo'leutor nf that porr reslgned im, tlio passage of the ordinance of secession, and no step* could be. taken with out a successor. The v ProsKl«nt, on the 2d of January, sent to theiSonat'ethe-name-of Mr. Mclntyre, Of 'Pennsylvania, but that liody never,'confinned the nomination, thus leaving the administration destitute even of the civil machinery for executing,the laws. Mr. Buchanan had determined to hold Fort Sumter, and took such measures 10 that end as the laws would permit him. Early in De cember, the war steamer Brooklyn was or dered to Hampton Raids in readiness to sail on any day at a few hours’ notice, with throe hundred disciplined soldiers, provisions and’ munitions, to reinforce Sumter. Ahsistant Adjutant General Buell was despatched to Charleston with verbal orders to Major An derson, which ho reduced to writing at Port Moultrie, requiting him to, make a resolute defense of Sumter if it aho.uld be attacked.— •When'the South Carolina ,members of Con gress tried- to obtain from the President a pledge that he would not reinforce the Fort, lie (irmly refused. The letter addressed to 'President Lincoln by Secretary Holt (who held over a few days for Mr. Cameron), de scribing what had been done in reiorcnce to Sumter, proves that {he f.ujt >vas not rein foroed-only because Major Anderson had do-: dared reinforcements unnecessary, till, t> the ptter astonishment of the administration-., that officer, .discovered that less than 20.000 men would he of no avail. However it may reflect on Major Anderson,'Secretary H dt’a letter is a complete vindication of Mr. Bu chanan, so far as regards Fort Sumter, It is in proof that; on the 12th-nf March, Gen. Scott advised President Lincoln to aban don Fort Sumter, which Mr. Buchanan had steadily refused to do. ** Its voluntary sur render;" says he, “ would have gone far to wards a recognition of their independence.* 1 AVith'regurd to putting 'strong garrisons in all the Southern forts, a nuffioient reason why it was not done is,‘that there were no availa ble men 'forlhe purpose. Our small army was on the western frontiers, where it was inaccessible, for the emergency if it unuld have been Spared; where It had been employ ed for many years; and Where, by General SsottVemplmtio and repeated testimony, ex isting in official documents, it was insufficient •lor demands of the service against the Indians. To have distributed the six hun dred and odd men GenemliScoit was able to scrape together for the thiiiiguration am mg the Southern forts, would only have exposed the government,‘to -derision. Gen, Scott’s own recorded, opinion that, if we went into the war, it would,-require three hundred thou sand soldiers. Under young and active Gener als, to subdue the South, makes this accusa tion about not manning the forts sufficiently ridiculous. No part of Mr. Buchanan's defense 5« more lucid and triumphant than this refutation «.f the standing « luiriny about his permitting Floyd to supply the South with arms. This charge is riddled till not a shred of it isdeft. Wo will not recapitulate the heads of tlieevi (lenco; and if justice did not require its pro duction, we would fain cast a thick -frail over jt.alt, in tenderness to the reputation of Gen. Scott.. .-If it‘were airy iuan ufdoss’cunsidera tion that received thtificrriblc dissection .the exposure would be a« amusing as we find it painful., L ; ke so much else in President -Buchanan's-book, it is conclusive and unan swerable.

[Prom tho Pittsburg Post.] OUR “NATIONAL BLESSING/ 1 If the very remarkable paper written for and issued by Mr. Jay Cooke, (Treasury Agent for the sale of United States Bonds,) to Drove that our stupendous national debt is a " national.blessing,” was not a conclu sive argument, Mr. Salmon P. Chase and Mr.'Jay Cooke are living monuments that tho aaid debt lias been a special blessing to a part of the nation at least. Let me cite a few incidents'to prove the truth of this prop osition. At the beginning of the war for the Union, which war was mainly’engineered by Gree ley, Philips, Banks,-and others, who had been striving for years to oyertnrow that ’Union, Kr. Salmon P. Chase wa.i a politician in Ohio, who had a law office, with few cases and hutdittle cash or other “ assets." There fore, as he ..was hot burthened with-.the charge of much “ capital” of his own, he was the very man of men moat-fitted to take charge of the entire capital of every body .else—so he was ihndo Secretary of the Treas ury. The present condition of said treasury, which is “ cleaned our,” and ■shows a ‘\little balance” of four iuovsand millions worse (Inin pithing, would seem to show that Mr. Chase was not a first rate financier—but then, the hict ’that Mr. Chase himself is now a rich man, having accumulated (as is said,) a veiy large fortune out-of his salary of, $BOOO, a year, in four vein's time, would utterly up-mt ’the idea that Mr. Chase is no financier—in deed he has entirely eclipsed the exploit of the 'lrish a«*lder who “saved half a crown mu t»l six ponce each day/' - So, it is clear ’that to Mr’. Chase, at least, a “ national debt” is un individual blessing. Then, thore is Mr. Jay Cooke. Mr. Chase's Bond Broker. Ho, too, at? the beginning of the war. was a rather humble private-banker in Philadelphia; waiting fretfully for M some thing to turn’ up." /And flninethihg did *' turn uo" sure enough/ Mr. Salmon P. Chase *• turned up," and Mr. Cooke also came springing to the.surface like ft buoy of cork, and ha’s made a colossal fortune of his little “ coinmissions” on the sales of bunds of the United States. - And so'tliM national debt has *• blessed" Mr. Cooke as well os Mr. Chase. Well, the bond* nre all Bold, (should we say all?) and Messrs. Oh me and Cooke are resting from their gicat labors—after wiving the country; Mr. Cheap, who is re warded with the office of Chief Justice, takes r. little trip to Charleston in a Government ship, to look upon the ruin he has helped to make, and thence meandering. visitsvarious other parts of the happy and regenerated ■S mth—always in. Uncle Sun's boats, cars, nr other pleasant conveyances. This accom plished. what could he more appropriate and delightful than--that Mr.'Chase should vUit Mr. liny 'Cooke, liis efficient and patriotic agent, at that agent’s little principality, a “dear little isle of his own” in charming Lake EnVl Pur, let ns make mention of the fact, that besides u girgeous dwelling in Philadelphia, Mr. Jay Cooke, hue procured and enjoys as one of many “ blessings” an Island in the Trtbrßßmd~fcakerwbinh-he--keeps and occupies, and of which'-lie is sole “lord and governor” —not governing in the unsubstantial and tantalizing way that Sancho Panza governed hi* " Island,”—hut a water-bound possession teeming with edible anil potdblo delights, whither ho can invito such of his friends as are worthy of.the hospitalities of so success (til an operator. It is nut like, Signor, Guls eppo Garibaldi’s petty Island of Oaprera, the poverty-stricken retreat of a ..broken-down patriot, but it is one of those abodes of ele gance and luxury only deserved and attained tiy men who have talent and dexterity equal to that of alchymists of old, whocUimed'that they could transmute the basei* metals into gold—albeit. Mr. Cook’s process was a little different—seeing that ho transmuted fragile, paper into soliddand. Well, as we were saying, Mr, Chase very pronerly rested from his “ progress” from one end to the other of - our nappy land, by going to Mr. Cooke’s delectable island, and to that end he left his Especial”.car and ta king his special train with him,embarked on a special steamboat for a sail upon the Jakes, which was to terminate at the hospitable mansion-.of bis faithful Cooke-*-and so Mr. Chase made hin : VisU to the domain won for Mr. Cooke by the subtle art of the Enchan ter who out Uerbian’s Herman—even he whose wand can-change paper to gold 1 'But what were the nature and the course of the festi.vi in Hut hem ifil retreat, the vul gar herd who must pay for them will never mention,’for they will never know. Suffice it to ouy Hhat, the pretty little steamboat brought Mr. Chase and party safely back to Buffalo, and report Raich that the captain of that fitfle"Steamboat presented to the Cullen tor of U. S. ountokna at Buffalo, a pretty lit tie hill nf $2OOO fo.- Mr. Chase’s trip, which said Collector refuser! to pay I Insane, and most impertinent collector! lie asked his superiors at Washington if ho should pay, and was told to “ cash up” immediately. And-su Mr. Chase pe makers and they liod the nigger tea kettle to his m l, an 1 bis muzzle got -black a la nigger with fear, and holo>kod sorrowlully up into the tace of the big d'g, an Muzeppa must have looked when tied on the horse of the desert, but the big dog turned away, and the boys in the south portion of the street brought him out, saying he had his day like any other dog, and he trembled like a canine in a wet sack, and the boys in the northern part of the street were disgusted at his whining and snarling and harking, keeping both ends of the street at war. and divided: one from the other, boy against boy, for the northern end boys wanted to be on good fellowship with the boys In the a'mfhorn; end of the street, they being formerly s.-bool follows and.able to whip any other street in the Whole jity-i-bul the “occasional” barking at the southern boys kept them- from amalgamating.
