No Sabbath In a 'Prize Essay on the Sabbath/ writ ten by a journeyman printer in Scotland, there occurs the following striking passage; 'Yoke-fellows! think how the abstrac tion of the Sabbath would hopelessly en slave the working classes, with whom we are identified'. Think of the labor thus going on in one monotonous, and continu ous, and eternal cycle—limbs forever on the rack, the fingers forever plying, the eye balls forever straining, the brow forever sweating, the feet forever plodding, the brain forever throbbing, the shoulders for ever drooping, the loins forever aching, and the restless mind forever scheming ! Think of the beauty it would efface, of the merry heartedness it would extinguish, of the gi ant strength it would tame, of the resour ces of nature it would exhaust, of the as pirations it would crush, of the sickness it would breed, of the projects it would wreck, of the groans it would extort, of the lives it would immolate, of the cheerless graves it would prematurely dig! See them toil iug and moiling, sweating and fretting, grinding and hewing, weavingandspinning, sowing and gathering, mowing and reaping, raising and building, digging and planting, unloading and storing, striving and strug gling—in the garden and in the field, in the granary and in the barn, in the factory and in the mill, in the warehouse and in the shop, on the mountain and in the ditch, on the roadside and in the wood, in the city and in the country, on the sea and on the shore, on the earth in days of bright ness and of gloom. What a sad picture would the world present if we had no Sab bath !' WEDNESDAY, ft PUTT, mumjmm. A Southern Character An officer of (ten. Hooker's division, now on the Maryland side of the lower Potomac, wrote on the 25th of February to Hon. \\ . I>. Kelly, M. C. from Penn sylvania, a letter, from which the following is extracted : Col. M ,ashe is called, in accor dance with the general custom here of giv ing every man some title, and not, A>e lieve, from any military rank he may have held (though I am not sure,) is a man about 45 years old, of considerable intelli gence and wealth, and, as I am informed, has traveled both in this and other coun tries. lie is a rather good looking man, somewhat larger than the average size of our people. He lives on what is called Stump Neck, a peninsula between the Mat tawouien, Chicamoxin, and Potomac rivers, directly across to Cockpit Point, on the Virginia side of the latter river. Stump Neck contains someting over 1000 acres of good land, and is, as a farm, kept in better condition than most of the farms about here, though it will not compare with what you would call a good farm in Pennsylva nia. He resides about the centre of the farm, in a small frame house, such as any of our northern farmers who were at all in a thriviug condition would be ashamed to live in. By the side of it are two log houses, in which live his slaves, as I sup pose I must call them, according to the laws of Maryland. 11 is barns are better than his houses. this place is entirely away from any road, and therefore seldom visi ted. The Colonel is unmarried, butasthe divine declaration, that, ' it is not good for one to be alone,' holds good in relation to him as well as others, he has four female slaves who fulfil the duties of wives to him. Now the Colonel in his patriarchal relation likes variety, and so he has them of var ious hues and shades, from a negro up to a light quadroon. By these women he has had twenty-five or thirty children, but as the mothers differ in complexion, so do the children, only with a most decided im provement in the lightness of the shading from mulittocs up to pass anywhere for white—the children of the quadroon wo man, wife or slave, whichever you choose, having light flaxen hair, and dark hazel eyes. The Colonel is also somewhat con scientious in his attention to their dress, the dark skinned having very coarse cloth ing, without such luxuries as shoes or stockings, while there is a regular grada tion to the lightest color—they having both shoes and stockings and very decent cloth ing. On a visit to the place sometime since, the children were asked as to their paternity. They all said their mothers lived there, pointing to the log house ; but when asked who was their father, one of the darkest boys said, ' got no father,' and one of the whitest children said, pointing to the frame house, ' lie lives there.' The Colonel is also a good farmer, and knows that it will not do to keep on hand too large a stock of cattle, ike., and so he regularly sells off the increase of his farm as soon as it is ready for market—horses, mules, cat tle, pigs and—children. These last, how ever, are the most profitable, or rather have been so ; Hod grant it may be so no longer. Dr. Woodhull, formerly the assistant bur geon of the sth New Jersey Volunteers, now Surgeon of the Oth New Jersey Vol unteers, was called upon to attend the qua droon wife in her last confinement, and learned many particulars in regard to them. He was very favorably impressed with her appearance, and considers her a very intel ligent woman. Now Ido not know that I have in the least exaggerated in this descrip tion, but, on the contrary, have softened it very much. It is not an exceptional case, but a fair specimen of what can be seen everywhere throughout the southern States. It has made almost every man in the brigade a determined foe to slavery.— That a man would sell his own children they had thought one of the abolition lies, until they had the fact thrust into their face that it was impossible to doubt it. Japanese Curiosities. Among the many cnrious things impor ted from Japan since that country was opened to commerce, perhaps the most curious were seut by the Tycoon to Whee ler & Wilson, in acknowledgment of a sew ing-machine sent out with the returning Embassy. These are finely colored pictures, which, hanging up on the wall and seen at a little distanoe, appear like very well exe cuted paintings upon canvas. Several of them represent domestic fowls, cocks, liens and chickens, exactly resembling such as we may see in our own farm-yards, and in one there is a sheaf of golden grain that bears a nearer resemblanco to ' chess' than any grain cultivated in this country. — Upon a closer inspection of these pictures they appear to be webs of woven silk, and under the impression that they were woven, a good many persons skilled in the weav er's art have triod to discover the secret of their manufacture. Every theory, howev er, found in some part of the work a fact that upset the calculation. At length, by a strongly magnifying glass, we discovered that no part of the web is woven; it is all the patient work of needle, and probably required not less than a year's labor to each picture of about six- 9, 1862. teen inches square, and nowhere can be discovered a fault of a single stitch in po >ition or color. It is curious to find that ! the ?old threads are not combined with j any fibie, but are fiat ribbons of pure met al. As works of curiosity or art, these al together exceed similar things done by the j Chinese, and as they arc open to the pub lie, those who may be curious in such niat- tins tan in-pect these works of a people we have been in the habit of regarding as 'barbarians. 1 here arc also several pie ces of curious uncut velvet which show the state of silk manufacture in Japan, and the \ery peculiar iashion of style and color that prevails there, which may interest some of the Amoricon weavers of fine vel vet who only fancy colors of a sombre hue. Evidently that is not the taste of the Jap anese ladies. The Hon. Townsend Harris states in his letter accom panying these acknowledgments from the 1 yeoon for the sewing machine, that the Japanese found no difficulty in working it, and that it was operated at the palace by the widow of the late Tycoon, where it excited much interest; and one of the high Ministers of State expressed his desire to Mr. Harris to have such a ma chine. Mr. Harris also says to Wheeler A Wilson : ' I think a few of your machines might he sold here, but I cannot encour age you to send a large number, as they will be immediately copied by the Japan ese, and at prices far below what you could afford to sell yours at in this country.'— lliis is very high testimony to Japanese ingenuity and industry, as it requires here very ingenious and complicated engines to manufacture sewing machines.— Xeic York Tribune. A Singular Incident Almost a Catastrophe. —There is a pop ular superstition that a cat, if allowed the opportunity, will 'suck the breath of a child ;' though how this is accomplished is not apparent. Cats are subjected to much suspicion, and, indeed, no animal petted by man is at once so much admired and detested. A circumstance came to our knowledge recently which seems to indi cate that the numerous charges tin dcagainst the feline race are not altogether unfound ed. The other evening, at a residence only a few miles from this city, a cat was discovered sitting upon the chest of a lit tle boy four years of age, her mouth placed close to the child's lips, and the cat evident ly very much absorbed in the operation.— An effort was made to drive the cat away, by speaking sharply to her. She paid no attention to this, and was equally unmindful of a series of blows with a stick. The cat was finally fairly pushed olf the body of the child and off the bed. She was then pushed out of the room and down the stairs. She could not be driven in the usual way She had a bewildered and wild look all the time, and exhibited a sign of'ferocity by springing on the servant, who was forcing her down stairs. The cat was instantly killed as a warning to all cats not to be too intimate with sleeping children. The lit tle boy woke up during the noise which was made, and was naturally somewhat fright ened. He did not seem to be injured. Though no harm was done, evil might havo ensued had not the cat been discov ered and removed. Iler weight on the child s chest would necessarily reduce the quantity of air inspired, and tend to cause suffocation, while the child would inspire only carbonic acid gas, as taken from the mouth of the cat. The two causes might produce death even. They may have or iginated the superstition that a cat ' sucks the breath of a child.' The case is inter esting and novel, and may serve the pur pose of eliciting inquiry and putting some parents on their guard against the treach erous and stealthy pets with which their childrenpplay.—jr.\ r . Y. Com. Heroic Chaplains. U e proudly gather several reported in- 1 stances of heroic devotion on the part of chaplains. They are not exceptional in- j stances. \\ c doubt not that a weekly rec- ' ord longer than this, and as conspicuous, could be presented, if we only could know the facts of the life of our chaplains. At the battle of Roanoke Island, the llev. Mr. James of Worcester, Mass., when the officers were shot down around a gun, j sprang forward, encouraged the men, and j worked in the midst of them as a gunner. The Rev. John L. Lenhart, the chaplain of the Cumberland, remained at his post with the surgeons among the wounded, and went down with his ship, nobly dying at i tho post of duty. Brother Lenhart was a . Methodist minister, and has been in the navy since 1847. He was greatly beloved by the officers and crew of the Cumberland. The Itev. Orlando N. Benton, chaplain of the New York Fifty-first, fell at the bat tle of the Neuse, near Newbcrn. He was a Presbyterian pastor at Apulachin, Tioga county, New York.—# York Examiner. j #SF"The Oswego Times says that at a re cent wedding in that city, the bridegroom, : boing an army officer, wore his side arms at the nuptir.ls. A little wide awake brother of the bride was attracted by the display of weapons, and as he has another sister whose ' true love' is a carpenter, he boldly inquired : 4 Ma, when J comes to marry Milly, will be wear his saw and hatchet by his side " I Another Speech by Parson Brotvuloiv. 'Parson,' or more properly Patriot Brown low, delivered another speech in Cincinnati on Saturday a week, on the occasion of a meeting of the Pioneer Association. At the suggestion of the president of the society, Mr. \\ B. Dodson, the meeting adjourned to the Council Chamber, as their room was not large enough to accommodate the crowd assembled to hear the Knoxville patriot. Mr. Brownlow said: My mind has been variously exercised while I have been sil ting here. I his is not a society of young men and boys, but a society of old'men ; men who are true to the backbone—loyal, faithful, patriotic men, who, old as they are, would lay down with eager joy a life almost worn out under the beneficent protection of the best Government ever established on God's beautiful earth. They arc honest men—none of your mean, pitiful, swind ling, God-forsaken, rascally demagogues, who have used the strength God endow ed them with to endeavor to overturn His most sacred institution —our Government. lam no candidate for popular favor—l want no office, although I did take a tilt against Isham Harris. [Laughter.] I am not adapted for an office, and, as I said before, I don't want one; but I am a Federal, and I believe in a strong Government—one that has the power anil the ability and the ei* ergy to put down treason —to crash out traitors; and in short, gentlemen, to take care of itself. I think that our prescut Government is the right kind of a Govern ment, but still not entirely so, inasmuch as it is hardly in earnest enough in the stu pendous work it is now occupied in ; but I hope and believe that, with God's help and our backing, that Government will soon put down the most diabolical treason that lias ever been seen in any part of the world. I have fought many battles; religious battles, political battles, and every other kind of battles; and 1 have encountered the devil, Tom Walker, and the Southern Confederacy, [laughter and applause;] and it has gone hard with one to be called after and pointed at so long as a traitor by all the miserable, sneaking, cowardly rascals who have torn and rent this glorious Union apart. My father was a volunteer in my country's army, and my uncle lived and died in the service of his country, and, thank God, their graves are still in posses sion of the Federals. My mother's relatives also shed their blood at their country's call at Norfolk, and yet I am called a traitor, and by such despicable men as compose the Southern Confederacy. Mr. Eggleston alluded to the crushing out of my paper. Yes, gentlemen, the of fice from which came the last sheets in de fence el the Union ever published in Knox ville was cleaned out and converted into a workshop for repairing and altering all the arms stolen by that accomplished thief and runaway Floyd. All my ambition now is to go back or.ee more to Knoxville to es tablish another office ; once more to spread abroad the glorious truths of the Union; and once more take from a drawer in my house the flag which so long waved defiant ly in the breeze, while these hell-hounds were longing, and yet not daring, to tear down and trample it in the dust. I would never have taken down that flag but for the females in my own house, who besought and entreated me to do so, lest the house should be torn down about their ears. One day a crowd surrounded my house and threatened to tear down my flag; but I warned them that they would have to do it in the face of six loaded muskets, which would be used by men who would never flinch from their duty. They took sober second thought, and marched away, but presently about fifteen came back again, drunker than ever, led by a young officer, who was desired to tear the d—d thing of a flag down. In the meanwhile, I had left my house and gone to the office, leav ing my wife in charge. She came forward and expressed her intention of shoot ing the first man who attempted, to haul down the flag. The officer was slightly scared, and said : ' Madam, you won't shoot, will you V ' Go on, go on !' shouted the crowd,' she daren't shoot!' She instantly drew from her pocket one of Colt's revolvers, and coeking it, leveled it at the officer's head. 'Never mind her she's only a womam,' cried the mob. 'By (j-—d! look at her eye,' said the officer, as he made a low bow, scraped the ground, and toddled off, followed by -the whole crowd. The gentleman who addressed me, expressed his regret that my paper is stopped and my office is closed, and I re ply to him that all my ambition is to go back to Knoxville and resurrect my old paper. To go back with new presses and with new typo, aad with a soul renewed and revived by baptism in the glorious lib erty of the Northern States. And also I want to go back there and repay a debt of gratitude I owe to about 150 of the most unmitigated scoundrels that can be found on the face of the earth. To liberate a people oppressed and defraud ed by the most Satanic conspiracy ever consummated —defrauded and duped by Southern Confederacy bonds—bonds hav ing on one side the full length portrait of Jeff Dayis, and a picture of a hen roost on the other, beariug these words: 'I promise New Series—Vol. XVI, No. 23, to pay, six months after the declaration of peace between the Southern Confederacy and the I nited States of North America. 550.' Some time since, I stood alone amid 2,- 500 rebel soldiers, and I said in my address to them : ' It is you of the south that are to blame. The north have not precipita ted this war on us; it is you who have done it. \ou complained of an infringement of Southern rights when there was no in fringement. You complained of Northern encroachments when there were none, and you have rushed into a war of the most wicked kind, without the shadow of a reas on.' But, gentlemen of Ohio, I do not and cannot exonerate the North, and I say in brief to you, that if, fifty yeats ago, we had taken one hundred Southern tire caters and one hundred Northern abolitionists and hanged them up and buried them in a com mon ditch and sent their souls to hell, wo should have none of this war. [lmmense applause.] lam speaking too long. [Cries of 'no 1 no I' 'Go on 1' 'Don't allow that talk.'] But on looking around on this as sembly I notice that time has written its mark unmistakably on the countenances of a large proportion of this audience. Many arc growing gray; I am getting old myself, and I know not how soon the span of our existence may be shortened, and the spirit take its flight to realms of eternal joy and happiness or everlasting misery. It be hooves us all, then, to sec to it, that we are prepared for this change wherever and whenever it may come, and may God, in his infinite mercy, bless and keep us all. Arrest of Surgeon Coxe, of the Third New Jersey Regiment. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times makes the following start ling statement: I have mentioned the caee of Surgeon Coxe, of the Third New Jersey, arrested on a charge of treason. The f; cts are said to be these: Since the evacuation of Man assas by the rebels, a military paper pur porting to be a report of the rebel General, was found in the wreck there bvoneof our officers, with something like this endorse ment : 'lnformation as to the position and strength of the army, furnished voluntarily by Surgeon Coxe, of Third New Jersey.' Ibis document contained statements to the effect that recruiting Was played out in the North; the national army must decline for new enlistments; that the number of troops in Gen. Kearney's brigade, to which the Doctor's regiment belongs, were so and so, and hereabouts were so many more, etc. This document was sent to headquarters at Washington, and to that the Doctor's arrest is mainly attributed. He was taken pris oner to Washington on Monday last. It appears that the Doctor had been in the habit of absenting himself from the camp at night frequently, sometimes alone, and at other times accompanied by a few sol diers, always on the pretense of scoutings. Repeatedly he lost two or three men on these excursions. In October last he lost two or three men, and next day took a flag of truce to recover their bodies. It was on this occasion that the information was given contained in the above mentioned report. Dr. (,'oxe related, on his return to camp, the incidents of his visit within the rebel lines; said he had been questioned, and that he had lied as well as he could to deceive the enemy. Coxo conducted himself in a very jubilant manner at his boasted success. lie was away so much from his camp as to neglect the duties of his office past forbearance.— Col. Taylor at last approved and forwarded charges against him for inefficiency. About the same time, I understand, this rebel doc ument came to the knowledge of the C 01.,, but independently of that document, sus picions were gathered against him, and the Doctor was put under arrest and kept in his tent. He resigned his office as Surgeon of the regiment. His resignation and the charges were sent to Washington together, and he immediately followed them as a prisoner. Dr. Coxe is, I believe, a resident of Philadelphia. llis grandfather was a celebrated physician of that city, and he himself enjoyed excellent professional op portunities abroad, in London and Paris. It may be he is wrongfully charged, but I give the alleged grounds of his arrest. [The above is precisely in consonance with the programme Laid down in the Michigan conspiracy, an account of which we pub lished last week. We have never doubted the existence of organized gangs of Breck inridge iories in all the northern States, and although of late apparently inactive, they are but waiting an opportunity of show ing their devotion to the traitors south.} SELLING off all kinds of Tin Ware, at wholesale prices at retail.
