Notice.
Biorttlimens,
Running an Engine in reb
el
Serilee.
From "Thirteen months in the rebel
Army."
The engineer, Charles Little, refus
ed to run .the train on during the
night, as he was not well acquainted
with the road, and thought it danger
ous. In addition, the headlight of
the locomotive being out of order, and
the:oil frozen i he- could not make:li,
buro, and he could not possibly run
without it. Colonel IVilliains., grew
angry, probably suspecting him of
Union sentiments, am' of wishing to
delay the train, cursed him rather .
roundly, and at length told him he
should run it .uader a guard ; .adding,
to the guard already on the engine,
"if any accident occurs, shoot the
cursed. Yankee." Little was a north.
ern man. Upon the threat thus. en
fo,rced, the engineer seemed-to yield,.
and prepared to start the train. As
if having forgotten an important mat.
ter, he said, hastily, "Oh, I must have
some oil," and stepping down off the
locomotive, walked toward the engine
house. When he was about twenty
yards from the cars, the
. guard
thought of their duty, and one of them
followed Little, and called upon him
to halt; but in a moment he was be
hind the machine-shop, and off in the
dense woods, in the deep .darkness.—
The commotion soon brought the Col
onel and a crowd, and while they were
cursing each other all around, the
fire-men and most of the brake-men
slipped off, and here we were with no
means of getting ahead. Al! this
timel had stood on the engine, rath
er enjoying the melee, but taking no
part in it, when Colonel Williams,
turning to me, said:
RAAt. t
'Car! not you run the engine P
I replied, 'No, sir.'
'You have been on it as we came
down.'
'Yes, sir, as a matter of curiosity.'
'Don't you know how to start and
stop her ?'
'Yes, that is easy enou i gb ; but if
anything wrong could not
adjust it.'
.IN - o difference, no difference, sir; I
must be at Bowling ,Green to•mbr
row, and you must put us through.'
I looked him in the eye, and said
calmly, 'Colonel Williams, I can not
voluntarily take the responsibility of
managing a train with a thousand
me❑ aboard, nor will I be forced to do
it under a guard who know nothing
about an engine, and who would be
.
ill find among the men a, I rt:rottn,
send away this guard, and come your
self on the locomotive, I will do the
best I can.'
And now commenced my' appren.
ticeship to running a secession rail
road train, with a rebel regiment on
board. The engine behaved admira
bly, and I began to feel quite safe, for
she obeyed every cominandi gave
her, as she acknowledged me herright
tul lord.'
-I could not but be startled at the
position in ivhich 1 was-placed; hold
ing in my hand'the lives of more
a thousand men, - running 'a train of
twenty-five cars over a road I had nev
er seenirrinning without a head-light,
and the read so dark that I. could on.
•ly' see a rod :or two ahead, and i to
crown all, knowing almost nothing of
the business. Of course, I ran slow.
• ly, about ten miles an. hour, and nev
er took my hand of the throttle or my
eye from the road. The colonel at
length grew confident, and almost
confidential, and did most of the talk
ing, as I had no time for conversation.
When we had run-about thirty miles;
and every thing was going well, Col.
Williams concluded to walk back, on
the top of the box-ears, to a. passen
cier car which .w as attached to the
rear of the train and occupied by the
officers.
,This somewhat. hazardous move he
commenced just as we struck a stretch .
of trestlework which carried the road
over a gorge some fifty . feet deep.--
As:the locomotive reached the end of
the trestlework the grade rose a lit
tle, and I could see through, or, in, a
deep cut which the road ran into, an
obstruction. What it was, or'how far
ahead, I had almost no conception;
but quick as thought—,and thought
is qu.ek as lightning in such circuit
stances—l whistled for the brakers,
shut off the steam, and waited - the col.
lision. I would have reversed the en
gine; but a fear that a reversal of its
action would crown up the cars on
the trestlework and threw them in
to the gorge below, forbade; nor was
there wisdom in' uMping olf, as the
steep ernbanhmentS- On either side
would prevent escape fromthe wreck
of the ears when the collision'Caine.
All this was decided in an instant -of
time, and'''. cal this , awaited the shock
which I saw was unavoidable: Though
the speed, Which Was very moderate
befere, was considerable 'deniiniShed
in the fifty yards:-between the obsta
cle and the' head of the train, I saw
that we would certainly run into the
rear of another train, which :was the
obstruction I had seen.
The first car struck was loaded
with hay acid My engine lit
terally split it in two, throwing the
hay right and left, and scattering the
grain like chaff. The nett car, load.
ed with horses was in like manner
torn to pieces, and the, horses piled
upon , the sides of the road. The third
car, loaded with tents and camp equi
page, seemed to present greater ,re
sistance, as the locemptive only reach
ed it, and came to a standstill.

Williams bad not been Irown from
the top of the ears into . le gorge be
tt
low, he would soon be f Ward to ex
ecute his threat,----to sh ' me if any
i f
accident occurred. I st, ped . out of
1 the cap on tbe , railing r fining along
to the smoke stack so a to be out of
view to ono corning ' far and toward
the engine, and yet to,Ove him in
the full light of the tern which
hung in the cap.
Exactly as I had surqised—for 1
t t
had seen a specimen 44 4... fierce tem
per and recklessne"ss,—. . fine stamp
ing and cursing, and jn, . ing from
the car on to the tender,; e drew a
I pistol, and cried out, 'Wlre is that
cursed engineer, that did4his pretty
job ?" I'll shoot him themainute I lay
eyes on him." :!
I threw up my six-shmter so that
the light of the lantern , - ihone upon
it, while be could see buqndistinctly,
if at all, and said withlleliberation,
' , Colonel Williams, if yod'raise your
pistol you'are a dead mad; don'Cstir,
but listen to me. I ha•iii done just
havi what any man must havilidone under
the circumstances. . I stopped the
train as soon as possiblejmd I'll con
vince you of it, if you area reasona
ble man; but .not anoq - er word of
shoot or you go down."
~ .
"Don't shoot, don't siftint," he cri
ed
"Put up your pistol and so will 1,"
I replied.
14 did so, and. came forward, and
I'explained the of..see
ing the train sooner, a$ I had no
,head-light; and they hat). carelessly
neglected . to leave a light on the rear
of the other train. I advised the
choleric colonel to go forward and
expend his wrath and curses on- the
conductor of the forwant, train, that
had stopped in such a plsP,o,'and sent
out no signal-man in the rear, nor
even left a red light. He acknowl.
edged I was right.. I thOn informed
him that I was an rfficer4n the ord

the sister of Martha and Lazarus--
has been - divinely corn metcled "to the
whole world, fora memorial of her;"
and this memory should be 'as fragrant,
in all the ages, as the costly spikenard
.which she poured on the head and feet
of her beloved Master. -
,
During, the atat few years there
have been pablished in this . country
some sad and In - OSt uniiarrantable
cam Mentaries upon the i:liaracter of
this beloved woman, which are now
multiplying themselves is :Minor his
teries, and doing great - injustice to
the menially thns left as a legacy to
the Christian world.
One of the' most striking off - these
biographies was written 13 , Rev. Dr.
Spring, of New York, and forins a
lengthy Chapter in the second volume
of his:Contrast of Seripttire Charac
ters. Throughout this cruel diSsec•
tion of her supposed character, the
learned Doctor represents Mary of
Bethany as a recoverecLprOstitute,
Who had abandoned a Mei of infamy
at the call of the Master. This. un
accountable Mistake -has. been since
repeated by many who have taken
the imposing work as aiplicient au•
thority; and the ,childrVin many of
our Sunday-schools arc being trained
to the belief of this sad story.
There is not the shadoiv of founda
tion for such represent*ions. It is
evident that a careless reading of the
different gospels has confounded the
act of the "woman in the city, which
was a-sinner," described in the sev
enth chapter' of Luke„,but whose
name is nowhere given, with the ser
vice of , M:ary recordcd.in the twen
ty7sixth of . Matthew, fourteenth of
Mark and twelfth of John. This con
fusion of incidents has been aided by
the statement in John x.ll 2, that "it
was that Mary which anointed the
Lord with ointment,•and wiped his
feet with her hair,
whose brother
Lazarus' was sick." 'A little examina•
tion of the two narratives, however,
will-show a wide difference between
them, and render it a matter of aston
ishment that a learned divine should
fall into such an error.
The similarity consists in the fact
that in each case the incidents Occur
red in the houae of .a person: called
, Simon, while the Master sat at meat;
that ointment was Used as a-grateful
o ff er inm; and that each of the women
wiped his feet with. their hair. But
there was a marked' contrast in other
particulars. The one occurred in the
city of Nein,- early in the history of
'the three - years' ministry; the other
in the village of Bethany, two years

Passover, and in the last month of
the Master's life. The Simon of Nair!
was Simon the pharisee; the other
was Simon the leper,
one deubtless
who had been healed of that loath
some disease. The former invited
the Master, as he taught in the streets
of the city, to eat with him evident
ly from curiosity and not of respect
to his character. This was shown in
his rude and uneourteous treatment
of his distinguished guest. He gave
him no salutation as he crossed the
threshold; no water for his sandaled
feet; not one of all the civilities which
mark the respect o: the Eastern host.
The woman who crept behind the
Master's couch as ho reclined in the
Pharisee's house, was a sinner of the
city, whose very touch was, deemed
pollution. As such she was pardoned
and dismissed in peace. The other
feast, two years later, was made for
-him by his Bethany friends at the
house of one who had a different
spirit. Lazares was `ore of the com
pany and sat beside the host. Mar
tha served at the 'table. Mary came
behind him at the table,' poured the
fragrant ointment on his head, and
also on his feet wiping the latter also
with her flowing hair.-' The two nar.
ratives have;the .utinbst distinctness
of detail. The company at Bethany
bad been his most intimate friends for
years, and delighted to honor him.—
How it is possible for a diligent stu
dent of the Bible to confound the
city of Nain in Galilee, with the vil
lage of Bethany near Jerusalein; and
to mix up the incidents occurring
with such an interval of time, and
having such a totally different object,
we cannot explain. But thii Dr.
Spring has done in his book, and thus
he moulds into one character, Mary
the meek learner at the Master's feet,
and that nameless sinner of the city,
who also loved much because she had
been much forgiven.
The household at Bethany were ev
idently of no despised class in society.
The various items known of their his
tory establishes this conclusively.—
They had a house of their own where
the Master was so often entertained
with a liberal hospitality. And when
Lazarus died, the throng of citizens
from Jerusalem who came out to con
dole with the sisters, showed that they
were people of consideration. The
ointment, which Mary used at that
supper, for which loving service she
was promised a memorial in till the
world, "might have been sold for more
than three hundred denarii," nearly
fifty dollars, and more than a year's
wages for a laborer, in those days, a
move the odium which in the face of
most abundant contrary evidence has
been attached to a sacred memory.—
We hope that some of the writers
who have fallen into this grievous er.
ror, will do themselves and the cause
we advocate, the justice to recall, as
far as possible, the injurious imputa
tion. The hallowed memorial which
is to go down to future ages should
be forever separated from such un
happy associations.—Journal of Com

The No-Party Hovemeht , an
Abolition Republican
Swindle. .7
It is ausual thing for the Abolition
Republican party to impute a want of
loyalty and patriotism to the Dome
erotic party, because they insist upon
their separate and distinct political
organization at this time. But such
an imputation is shorn of its strength,
when -it is remembered that at no pe
riod since President Lincoln was in
auguared has party lines been for one
moment relaxed by the national Ad
ministration. All the appointments
of the President were of the most ul
tra character, such as William li. Sew.
and and Cassius M. Clay and Carl
Schurz, .whilst the same proscriptive
line of policy was pursued by all 'his
subordinates from the Secretary of
State to the
subordinates, from
who bows
.at the footstool of despotic power.—
Democrat's were dismissed from office
whilst in the ranks of the defenders
of their country, and men appointed
in their places who to this day have
never taken a step to aid the country
or defend the
. Union and the Consti
tution• And even now the same pro
scriptive partisan policy is recogniz
ed. and acted upon by the national Ad
ministration. In the appointment of
Assessots and Collectors of tbo na
tional tax, party lines were drawn
with unyielding strictness. All are
members with few exceptions, of the
the Abolition - Republican party. No
Democrat is taken. So in the selec
tion of persons to act as Commission
ers of the draft. Here again the whip
or partisan politics is applied and
Democrats excluded. And the same
course has been pursued in all the
conventions of the Abolition Republi
can party. In no instance have they
ever mentioned the possibility of al
lowing the Democratic element in
the country to be represented—on
the basis of a no-party movement.—
On the contrary,' they have been
more violently partisan and intoler
ant since the breaking out of this dif
ficulty between the sections, than at
any period in their history, and all
professions to the reverse are but.put
forth to delude the unthinking, and
obtain their support.
The no-party movement of the Ab
olition Republican faction is but a
' mask from behind which the most
Thrmidable assaults will be made up
on the restoration of the Union and
the preservation of our present con
•stitutional form of government, and

The Border Stlites.
The chief ground of apprehension
entertained respecting the effect of
the President's proclamation, related
to the' border States. Would they
passively acquiesce in .a system of
compensated emancipation, or would
they violently react? Thus far, little
apparent effect •is produced. While
the loyal journals respectfully, yet
decidedly, remonstrate, they at the.
same time avow their purpose to
stand by the Government in any
event. The Louisville Journal says,
"Kentucky , cannot and will not ac ,
quiesce in the measure," pronounces
it a usurpation, and demands that it
be revoked, and yet affirms that the
loyalty of the State cannot be shaken.
As the leading journal in the border
States, the position thus taken has
great significance. The Louisville
Democrat has the following:—
The late proclamation of the pres
ident throws confusion over all ideas
of constitutional Government. If mil
itary necessity can extend this far,
where are its limits ? The question
of slavery 'is insignificant. It is the
freedom of the white man, not the
slavery of the negro, that is con
cerned. Not only the provisions of
the Federal Constitution, but all State
Constitutions can be permanently
overruled by a proclamation of the
Executive. By this proclamation
slaves are all emancipated in States
or parts of States to put down the re
bellion. If a President should deem
it necessary, be could, by proclama.
tion, establish slavery in all the
States. That would, probably, end
the rebellion es effectually as the
measure now proposed, and start an
other.
The President is sworn to see that
' the laws are faithfully executed; but
if he be correct in his interpretation
of his power, he swears to execute
his own will. -We could trust a man
to do that without an oath. If the
doctrine be valid at all, as assumed
in this proclamation, constitutional
and legal rights are for peace, not for
war ;
,for if war,eomes, the President
has dictatorial power to change,
not
temporarily, but permanently, Fed
eral and State Constitutions. In a
second proclamation the President
not only suspends the writ of habeas
corpus but he also suspends the right
of trial by a jury in all .the States.—
Almost any act or word may be con-
_
as well as t
ESI3
the discretion of a military tribunal.
Fremont's proclamation of martial
law was thought a moat wild and cra.
zy act. It was not martial law in his
military lines but over %whole State.
Hunter extended it to three States;
but the President has extended it
over all the States.
We beg leave to state that this is
a political, not a military question.—
Amongst loyal men, who are resolved
to put down this rebellion, this proc
lamation will find few supporiers.—
They will convince the President that
he has made a great blunder. In.the
hour of passion much may be over.
looked, but the jealousy of constitu.
tional liberty will not sleep.
As to these active, conscious rebels,
they have forfeited their lives, and
less than that they may count so
much mercy. The supremacy of our
Constitution and the integrity of the
Government will be sustained. The
question of political power is another
one altogether.
Errors and blunders we may ex
pect, and none of them should divert
us from the great object—the integ
rity of the Union. What power the
Federal Government in any of its de
partments shall have, the people of
the United States can settle.

cate of fitness to be a Presidential ad

per taught in 1860 :
"Tbe right to occade may be a revolutionary
one, but it exists nevertheless."
"Any attempt to compel them by force to re
main would be contrary to the principles mand
ated in the immortal Declaration of Independ
ence."
•4 We do not see why it (the Declaration of bi
dependence) would not justify the secession of
five millions of Sontherns from the Union in
1861."
The same paper, in 1862, quoted
from the Journal of Commerce the
remark, t•We contend for the Consti
tution. The nation is fighting for
that, and that only. All other ob
jects of the war are delusions ;" and
replied
"Net so, air! The nation is fighting fot lifs,
its own life, and is determined to live, though
all the paper constitutions on earth he scattered
to the winds."
The same paper, lan. 28,1862, said

It is not worth while to continue
these extracts. We take it for grant
ed that they
. express the calm and
considerate views of those who pub.
lished them, as they have never been
modified or explained away, but, on
the contrary, have been reiterated
and defended up to quite a late peri
od.
To the pressure of such advisors
the President has yielded. Where
ho will land the future only can tell.
In the mean time let the people take
