Insurrection in the Pclht. Last
Sunday morning the congregation of
the JS O'V choo l'resbytenan church
were entertained with what has been
termed a political speech, by tho Bev.
Thomas II. llubinson, who, wo be
lieve, is paetor of said church.
Tho harangue of the reverend gen
tleman reminded us most forcibly of
the stylo peculiar to General John
Walker Jackson, of this citj', whose
notoriety as a pulpit orator is wide
fpread.
The speech cf Mr. Pkobinson, here
tofore referred to, was g bold, open
and defiant one. It was a second edi
tion of the effort made by Thad. Ste
vens in tho House of Bepresentatives
n few wocks ago. Tho mit particu
lar points to which we desire to refer
is tup argument of tho reverend up
holding tho late infaninus negro in
surrection in Jamaica and San Domin-
go. Also, his Advocacy in his own
church pulpit of hegru wtnT'rage ami its
consequences. We will not comment
upon this position. We know the man,
rid the only regret that we have is,
that he should thus long have boon
permitted to remain in a position or
dained by God for man to preach
"poace on enrth, good will to inon,"
instead of insurrection, negroism, pil
lage and muruci. Pat. A Union, lbth.

HORRIBLE CASE of HYDROPHOBIA
DIATH Or A MAN BITTEK SEVERAL
TEAKS A CIO.
The Paola (Kansas) Free Parss tc-
forts the death by hydrophobia, of
Jr. Samuel Rose, of Spring Hill, John
son county, in that Slate. Tho case
is one of unusual interest, and is thus
described :
Tho deceased was nn old resident
of Kansas, an honest, upright man,
and a good neighbor. Tour days pre
vious to his death ho had some lever,
with chilly sensations, and was soon
unable to swallow water or any kind
of liquids w hatever. Dr. Fitzgerald
was then called, and immediately upon
examination pronounced it an unmis
takablc caso of hydrophobia. The
least breath of fresh air, the appear
ance of water, or liquid of any kind,
any object with a bright surface, the
pouring of liquids from one vessel into
another, or even to think of water,
would create a shudder and involun
tary 6pasms of the muscles of the
throat, and temporarily Buspcnd
breathing; and, as is usual in such
cases, at each occurrence of the spasms
a thick, tough mucus would rise in
the throat.
He remained in this deplorable con
dition until the second day of his ill
ness, without material change, chill
ing, shuddering, and -running to the
struggling for breath whenever the
door was opened and air or light ad-
miuea. ins mental was more u.ien-
dtirable, if possible, than his physical
suffering, although in addition to the
symptoms already enumerated, he ex-
perienced acute, lancinating pains.
commencing on the letl side ot his
face, and extending down into his
chest.. Upon inquiry, he state upon
tho doctor's first vfsit, that he had
been bitten ly a dog several years
ago, nt the exact place where the pain
was located, and within sixteen years
ho had been frequently bitten in other
parU of the bodj, but that ho could
not recollect of any recent bi to.
Some twenty hours previous to Ins
death he told his medical attendant
was hnally caught, overpowered, and
'secured by cords, he resisting with all
his power. Calling for water, he no
sooner tasted it than he took another
convulsion, which came near releasing
him from his sufferings. He, howev
er, lived until the following morning,
having several convulsions of lesser
degrco through the night, when he
died bitting ia the chair.
r.ii.r, Ani-8 Views. Bill Arp, it will
be remembered, was recently d cited
to tho Senate of Georgia. I n a letter
to tho Metropolitan Uocord.ho writes:
For two momentus and inspirin
weeks tho legislature have been in
solera scsion,(mcof whom lam proud
to bo which. For several days we
were engaged as shouts, niakin a sor
ter rekonysanec to tee whether Geor
gy wero a State or a Injun terrytory
w hether we were in the old L'n-ion
or out of it ; whether me and my folks
and you and -our folks were some
body ; and lastly, but by no moans
Icastly, whether our poor innocent
children, borndiirin tho war, wero all
illegal and had to bo born over agin
or not. This last pint are very much
unsettled, but our women are advised
to bo kalm and sereen.
My fricndu, our aim has honestly
been to git)'ou all back into the folds
of the gloryous old Un-ion. Like the
prodigal son, we had nnthin to live on,
and feelin lonesome and hungry, have
been bowin and scrapin and tuukin
apologys for five or six months. We
have been fceon slandin afur off for
week and weeks, but durn the eaf do
they kill for us. They know we've
got nothin, fur they eat op our sub
stance ; ns for puttin rings on our fing
ers, wo couldcnt cxpekt it until they
bring me back tho jewelrj' the parried
awu-. I cannot say, in the htngwidga
of the poet, that our labor has been
a labor of love.for we'vo had monstrus
poor encouragement, to bo shore; but
we had all set our heads toward iho
stars and stripes, and wojintly deter
mined that, come wool come wo, sink
or iwim, survive or perish, thunder or
litcnin. wo'd slip back, or sneak back,
or git back somehow or somehow elc,
or we'd stay out forever and ever
amen and be hanged to 'em, so-called,
I golly.

and, also, that the virus may be car-
ried in molecules in the air, and thus
produce the disease. It evidently did
not originate denovo in England, but
was carried there by ship-loads of
cattle from the Russian Baltic ports.
If this theory is correct, then all im
portation of cattle from abroad should
be at once prohibited by Congress, if
not otherwise possible to be prevented,
and would pay well to call Congress
together fjr that purpose only. No
ship having a cow, or a sheep, or
animal, from Europe, or countries
having the pest, bhould be allowed to
land in America without suffering
quarantine. Every disease mut, at
some time, have originated from a
violent disregard of natural laws, and
this, as others, but I am of the opinion
that there is nothing in the manage
ment of cattle in (ireat Britaiu or
America to generate tho disease. So,
also, no sanitary precautions can ar
rest it fchort of absolute non-intercourse.
'I believe it to be a species of bloody
murruin, aggravated by the marshy
nature of Northern Buskia, and the
utterdiMregard of all the laws of health
which is sUown to man and beast, es
pecially in regard to ventilation and
cleanliness which prevails in thee
cold climates, whero great expendi
ture of heat is needed, and fuel and
food are scarce. The souuo causes are
producing now the aggravated t3"phus
lever hero which is called outido of
Hussia, 'plagtic." England was warn
ed long since of tho danger of tho di
rect importation of cattle from Bais
sia, but failed to heed the advice. 1
trust our countr' may be more wise
and more fortunate."
Widows vs. JIaidfns.-A Richmond
paper says that young men are scarce
in the city, and maidens and widows
in warvh of hnsbands,very plenty. The
latter seem to be tho most successful,
and the editor pleading in behulf oi
tho maidens, says :
We do not think, in view ofthe great
scarcity of men, that it is fair for wid
ows to marry a second time, until all
the young maidens havo secured bus
bntxU. The legislature ought to at
tend to this matter, and protect the
interest of young ladies, for without
the aid of legal enactments, the wid
ows are sure to play the grab game.
I .ity will thercloro have to bo re
st ruined by the strong arm oi the law,
as was thine in the early colonial bis
tort of Virginia, when the llouso of
ITurgcsses passed an act of the very
character indicated. It was fotind
that all tho .young men imported into
the colonj, were at ont o caught by
tho widows, by superior wiles and
strategems, without any chance licing
allowed to tho modest and retiring
young maidens ; 60 tho legislature
took the matter in hand,anJ will have
to do so ngain.
