The better part of man's nature, as well as the worst features, are often made visible at the Supervisor's volun teering room. A whole family, mother and five children, lead by their stalwart head, the husband and father, presented themselves, a few day since, to Chair man Blunt, in New York, for the six hundred dollars bounty, he, the hus band, having just been examined and mustered in. It was a large family, and sorrowful one, all except the little tow-headed fellow in its mother's arms, who was leaping and crowing as though it was excellent fun, a capital joke.— The family appeared like a respectable one, though the hand of poverty evi dently,rested heavily upon it, and this, most likely, was the last resort, the last hope, the throwing of one overboard to save the rest. As Mr. Blunt counted the mouey—one, two, three, four, five, six hundred dollars, and presented it, a kind of sickly, faint smile was visible through the unbidden tears that were coursing down his cheeks, for his time, he knew, with his family—its joys and hopes—was now about up. His chil dren were clinging to his legs, begging him not to leave them; his wife, too full to speak, looked unutterable grief, and clung all the closer to her babe. The money was all right ; he held it in his hand—more than he had owned at once during all his lifetime. " God bless you, wife and children ; we must now part, perhaps forever. This money, wife, is yours; but let me give some to each, it will gratify me, and will go to you whenever you want it. Here, wife, is one hundred dollars for you ; may Heaven bless it and you! Here, Billy, is one hundred dollars for you ; be good and true to your mother, and, as you are the oldest, watch faithfully over your brothers and sisters. James, here is one hundred dollars for you ; give it' to your mother when ever she wants it. Mary, take this one hundred dollars, be a good girl, and in your prayers remember your father. Come here, my pet Alice, here is one hundred dollars for you to keep until good mamma requires it. And now, my little toad without a name— yes, let us call him Hope ; do you say so, wife?" It was assented to. " Then here, you little crowing cock—bless the little fellow! I may never see him •again. Kiss me, boy. Here, put this one hundred dollars in your little hand, and don't eat it, but pass it over to your mother as soon as possible." The noble-hearted fellow's heavy frame seemed to quiver all over as lie finished his distribution and knew that :his time had come. He embraced each and all separately ; and declared him self ready to go. "But," said Mr. Blunt, " there is another hundred dollars com ing to you—the hand money. Who brought you here ?" " That wee bit of a babe, your honor ; I'd never come in the world, had it not been for that dear babe." " Well, then, the hand money or premium belongs to him." " Bless me is it so ? Wife put that one hundred dollars in the savings bank for Hope, and never touch it if you can help it—if you can help it, mind, until he comes of age. God bless the little fellow! He stands well in the world, after all, and may yet be Presi dent." The man stepped upon the platform of the turnstile, and was whirled out of sight of the world and all he loved. The whole scene was a most touching one—one of true family affection, and long to be remembered by all who wit nessed it. Who says that poverty sears and dries up the living streams of af fection, and the maternal love which we bear to our kind? An Unkind Tear. When I used to tend store at the " Regulator," in Syracuse, the old gentleman comes round one day, and he says : " Boys, the one that - sells the most 'twixt now and Christmas, gets a vest pattern and a present." Maybe we didn't work for that vest pattern ! I tell you there were some tall stories told in praise of goods just about that time ; but the tallest talker and the one that had more cheek than any of us was a certain Jonah Squires who roomed with me. He could talk a dollar out of a man's pocket when the man had intended to spend only a six pence; and the women—Lord bless you, they just handed over their pocket books to him and let him lay out what he liked for them. One night Jonah woke me up with : "By Gosh, old fellow, if you think that ere's gotany cotton in it, I'll bring down the sheep ,it was cut from and make him swear to his own wool ! Twont wear out either—wore a pair of pants that kind 'o stuff myself for six years, and they're as good now as when I first put 'em on! Take it at thirty cents, and I'll say you don't owe me anything. Eh ! too dear? Well call it twenty-eighty cents. What d'ye say ? She'll tear it? All right, it's a bargain." I could feel Jonah's hand playing about the bed-clothes for an instant, then rip ! tear ! went something or an other, and I hid my head under the blankets perfectly convulsed with laughter, and sure that John had torn the sheet from top,tO botton;i. When I woke up next morning I found—alas; thikinciest teaii of tha :back, of my: might-shirt was split, from tail to collar band. . - - 7 7 ,• • i • t 7 7. • • • • ."•*-• ::••„ 2 - •' . • •• 1 • • •i • •,' . . • - • • VOLUME 66. An 011 Romance. Some ten or twelve years ago a boy and girl, as is often the case, were among the scholars going to school in one of the townships a feWA.pailes east of Meadville. The boy, as boys always are, was rather dull and stupid, getting, as a natural consequence, many asc,old ing, while the girl was very apt, and helped him with his lessons, as girls always will. He was very grateful, of course, and promised to repay her some day, " when he got to be a man." Not withstanding this strange promise, time passed on as usual, and when he got to be a man the war broke out and he enlisted. In the meantime the parents of the girl that was the woman now, having become very poor, she was obliged to support herself, so obtaining a place in a good family, she came to Meadville to work. Last summer the young man was wounded and came home. Just before his return to the army, having re-enlisted, he told her that he might, probably, never return ; that he had never forgotten the promise made in his boyhood's days, and Ire now wished in some mander to fulfil it ; that he had not much to offer ; only the third inter est in three acres of land on Oil Creek ; that lie could not tell whether it would ever be worth anything, but whether it was or not she might have it and welcome. The gift was accepted, and the papers properly made out before he left. About six weeks ago the other two owners of the land having gone on to develop the territory, a forty barrel well was struck, and she was at once offered $40,000 for her interest, one acre of land. The first imitation the family where she is living had of her good for tune was last week, when the gentle man, who, by the way, lives in one the finest houses in the upper end of town, having mentioned that he had been of fered $lO,OOO for his property, was very much astonished when she made him the same offer, and said if the house was sold she was wanted to buy it as a home for her parents. Thinking surely she must be " daft," he made some in guides, when the facts were found on as stated above. If she doesn't " put on airs," and mar ries the soldier boy when he comes back from the wars, the story will be finished in a good old-fashioned way, and we will duly notify our readers of the sequel. Friends in Prosperity One of the hardest trials of those who fall from affluence and honor to poverty and obscurity is to find that the attachment of so many in whom they confided was a mask, to gain their own 'ends, or was a miserable shallowness. Sometimes, doubtless, it is with regret that these frivolous followers of the world desert those upon whom they have fawned ; but they soon forget them. Flies leave the kitchen when the dishes are empty. The parasites that cluster around the favorite of fortune, to gather his gifts and climb by his aid, linger in the sun shine, but scatter at the approach of a storm as the leaves cling to a tree in summer weather, but drop off at the breath of winter, and leave it naked to the stinging blast. Like ravens settled down for a banquet, suddenly scared by a noise, how quickly, at the first sound of calamity, these superficial earthings are mere specks on the horizon. But a true friend sits in the centre, and is for all times. Our need only re veals him more fully, and binds him more closely to us. Prosperity and adversity are both revealers, the differ euco being that in the former our friends know us, in the latter we know them. But notwithstanding the insincerity and greediness prevalent among men, there is a vast deal more of esteem and fellow yearning than is ever outwardly shown. There are more examples of unadulterated affection, more deeds of silent love and magnanimity, than is usually supposed, Our misfortnnes .bring to our side real friends, before unknown.- Benevolent impulses, where we could least expect them, in modest privacy enact many scenes of beautiful wonder amidst plaudits of angels. Ingenious Clock There is now in possession of, and manufactured by Mr. Collings, silver smith, of Gloucester, England, a most ingenious piece of mechanism—an eight day clock, with dead beat escapement maintaining power, Chimes the quar ters, plays sixteen tunes, plays three tunes in twelve hours, or will play at any time required. The hands go round as follows: One, once a minute; one, once an hour; one, once a week; one, once a month; one, once a year. It shows the moon's age, the time of rising and setting of the sun, the times of high and low water, half ebb and half flood ; and by a beautiful contriv ance, there is a part which represents the water, which rises and falls, lifting the ships at high water tide as if it were in motion, and, as it recedes, leaving these little automaton ships dry on the sands. It shows the twelve signs of the zodiac; it strikes or not, as you may wish it; ithas the equation table, show ing the difference of clock and sun every day in the year. Every portion I of the clock is of beautiful workman ship. A Kitchen Garden of 800 Acres The London Agricultural Gazette gives a very interesting account of a tract of land between Plaistow and East Ham, on the east side of London, oc cupied as a tenant by Mr..W. Adams, whose father and grandfather before him had been in the same business on the same soil. " Thirty, fifty, even seventy tons of cabbages and greens in two or three successive crops within the year, 12 to 20 tons of carrots, eight to a dozen ton of potatoes, followed by 10 to 14 tons of onions, and these again suc ceeded greens and cabbages, are yielded per acre. As soon as one crop is off, another is put in ; the only re spite is in the winter time, before the onion crop, when it is left bare for a season's front. The only rest it ever gets is an occasional crop of wheat or peas." There is another side, however, to the picture. The owner has contracts for manure with many of the largest stables, breweries, and cow-houses in London, and it is sometimes applied in the enormous quantity of 80 tons per acre. The land " increases annually: in fertility." The total annual payments on the 800 acres are about $lOO,OOO (£20,000), including besides manures, $30,000 for labor, upwards of $25,000 for " rent, rates, tithes and taxes," $7,500 for commissions to salesmen, &e.. What the sales amount to is not stated. Seventy horses are employed. The Black Hawk, flag-ship of the Mississippi Squadron, was accidentally destroyed by are on tilattirdaynt Mound. City. gtioallantous. Twelve Golden Maxims. The following extracts are taken from a little work, entitled, '``,.;llllseellanea, or Choice Observations and Pleasant Be_: marks on the Virtues, Vices and:Humors of Mankind, both Moral and: Divine:. Second Edition ; J. H." The initials J. H. are those of John Hall, Bishop, of Norwich, who died anno domini 1859, tett 82. There is much in it for reflection: I.—ON bnEss. In thy apparel avoid profuseness, singularity and gaudiness ; let it be'de cent, and suited to the quality of thy place and purse. Too much punctuality and too much morosity, are the extremes of pride. Be neither too early hi the fashion, nor too long out of it, nor too precisely in it. What custom hath Civil ized hath became decent ; until then it was ridiculous. Where the eye is the jury, thy apparel is the evidence ; the body is the shell of the soul, apparel is the husk of that shell •, and the husk will often tell you what the kernel is. Seldom doth solid wisdom dwell upon fantastic apparel ; neither will the pan taloon fancy to be immured within the walls of grave habit. The fool is known by his pied coat. 2.-ON CONVERSATION Clothe not thy language either with obscurity or affectation ; in the one thou discovereat too much darkness, and the other too much lightness; he that speaks from the understanding to the understanding does best. Know when to speak, lest while thou ahowest wisdom in not speaking thou betray thy folly in too long silence. If thou art a fool thy silence is wisdom ; but if thou art wise thy long silence is folly. As too many words from a fool's mouth give one that is wise no room to speak, so teo long silence in one that is wise gives a fool opportunity of speaking, and makes thee in the same measures guilty of his folly. To conclude, if thou be not wise enough to speak, be at least so wise as to hold thy peace. 3. -ON BEARING ADVERSITY Has fortune dealt thee ill cards, let wisdom make thee a good gamester. In a fair gale every fool may sail, but wise behavior in a storm commends the wisdom of a pilot. To bear adversity with an equal mind is both sign and glory of brave spirit. As there is no wordly gain without some loss, so there is no wordly loss without some gain. If thou hath lost thy wealth thou hath lost some trouble with it; if thou art degraded of thy honor, thou art like wise freed from the stroke of envy ; if sickness hath blurred thy beauty, it hath delivered thee from pride. Set thy allowance against thy loss, and thou shalt find no great loss. He loseth little or nothing who keepeth the favor of his God, and the peace and freedom of his good conscience. 4.-ON ANGER Beware of him that is slow to anger. Anger, when it is long in coming, is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury. When fancy is the ground of passion, that und,..randing which com poses the fancy qualifies the passion, but when judgment is the ground, the memory is the recorder, and this pas sion is long retained. 5.-ON SECRET ENEMIES He that professeth himself thy open enemy array thee against the evils he means thee; but he that dissembles himself thy friend, when he is thy secret enemy, strikes beyond caution, and wounds above cure. From the first, thou mayest deliver thyself ; from the last, good Lord deliver thee. 6.-ON LAW AND PHYSIC If thou study law or physic, endeavor to know both, and to need neither.— Temperate diet, moderate and season able labor, rest, and recreation, with God's blessing, will save the physician; and a peaceful disposition, prudent and just behavior, will secure thee from the law. Yet if necessity absolutely compel, thou may'st use both, they that use either otherwise than for necessity, soon abuse themselves in weak bodies and light purses. 7. -ON INCONSISTENCY Be not unstable in thy resolutions, nor various in thy actions, nor incon sistent in thy affections. So deliberate that thou may'st perform ; so perform that thou may'st preserve. Mutability is the badge of infirmity. 8. -CHARITY ALLEGORIZED Charity is a naked childgiving honey to a bee without wings. Naked, be cause excuseless and simple ; a child, because tender and growing; giving honey, because pleasant and comforta ble; to a bee, because a bee is industri ous and deserving ; without wings, be cause wanting and helpless. If thou de niest to such thou killest a bee ; if thou givest to other than such thou preservest a drone. 9. -ON DIET AND REGIMEN If thou desireth to take the best advan tage of thyself, especially in matters where fancy is most employed, keep temperate diet, use moderate exercise, observe seasonable and set hours for rest and let the end of thy first sleep raise thee from thy repose ; then bath thy body the best temper; thy soul the least incumbrance ; then no noise shall disturb thine ear, no object shall divert thine eye ; then, if ever, shall thy sprightly fancy transport thee beyond the com mon pitch, and show the magazine of high invention. 10.-HOW TO 17SE PROSPERITY So use prosperity that adversity may not abuse thee. If in prosperity thy security admits no fear, in adversity thy despair will afford no hope; he that in prosperity can foretell a danger can in adversity foresee deliverance. 11.-ON BELIEVING AND COINI:4IUNICAT MIME Let the greatest part of the news thou hearest, be the least part of what thou believest, lest the greatest part of what thou believest, be the least part of what is true ; and report nothincr ' for truth, in earnest or in jest, unless thou know it, or at least confidently believe it to so ; neither is it expedient at all times, or in all companies, to report what thou knowest to be true ; some times it may avail thee if thou seem not to know, that which thou knowest. Hast thou any secret, commit it not to many, nor to any, unless well known unto thee. 12.—0 N CONDUCT TOWARDS A FRIEND. Hest thou a friend, use him friendly ; abuse him not in jestor in earnest; con ceal his infirmities ; privately reprove his errors. Commit thy secrets to him, yet with caution, lest thy friend become thy enemy and abuse thee. A Bitter Attack Upon General Sherman. The Cincinnati Gazette makes the re cent treaty of General Sherman, in North Carolina, a pretext for a most bitter attack updn his reputation and military services. It says : " The President has promptly disap proved of this proceeding, and has sent General Grant to the field, who will confine his acts to the duties of a mili tary commander, and will push our military advantages, instead of allow ing the enemy time to recover or escape from their consequences. In this he has the unanimous support of his Cabi net and of General Grant, and will have of the people. " The American people may be ex travagant in their admiration of suc cessful generals and may, in the trans ports of the times, ascribe to them all the credit of the deeds of the soldiers, and of the overwhelming means that the country and the energetic War De partment have supplied, and may over look the enormous cost of the successes; but he would greatly mistake their in telligence and capacity, who should presume upon this inflation to usurp dictatorial powers, or to turn the coun try's cause to a grelit political stroke for himself." On this the Enquirer remarks : This is the reward that gallant General re ceives' from the politicians whord he has saved. But for '‘General Sherman and his soldiers the ponfederates to-day would haVe been in flu force, 'and the, pro4)ect of 'the termination of the war as remote as ever. LANCASTER, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING-, MAY 3, 1865. in English View Of America. In the London Magazine of Natural History for ISIO, there .is an article by the late Edward Doubleday, Esti., a dis tinguished English naturalistwhospent sixteen mdtiths in this country, of which hetopk id* liberal views than the ma jority of his ; countrymen bave put forth. We give the..following extracts as ex amples: ' 4 * * I could here run riot in tell ing of its summer glories ; of the rocks clothed with flowers and ferns ; of the dark branches' of the cedars and hem locks ; of the blue birds, the Baltimores, the scarlet tanagers, that make it their abode; but I must not do so. I only just hint to niY readers that such things are, and that/there are in that ravine beauties, wh:tth they Caged In the Space of Europe's pigmy span Can scarcely dream of;—which their eyes must see, To know how beautiful this world can be." So much for the spot where some of the happiesthours of my life were spent, and where I first learned "to honor the Americans as a nation, and to love many of them as personal friends," feelings which grew upon me more and more, and wore the longer I stayed amongst them. We now traveled onward to Chicago, and thence to Green Bay and Macki naw, and back to New York. From New York we started for the South in November, merely staying a few days in the various cities we passed through, until at length we came to an anchor for about six months at St.'John's Bluff East Florida. • * loved to sit in the piazza and look out over the broad calm river, to listen to the hoarse roar of the alligators, the loud drumming of the drum fish, the loud plaintof the whip-poor-will, or the music of the mocking bird. To me, these evenings seemed to tell more clearly than the days that I was far from home; whatever sound we award, whether it was the plaint of the whip poor-will, or the alligator's roar, or whether it was the gay songs of the negroes as they paddled by in their canoes; whatever object the moon re vealed to us, all was unlike to what we could see and hear in our native land. On the 15th of June, we bade adieu to our excellent landlady and her house hold, not forgetting all the negroes (for your Southern slaveholder, even if leaving home for a long time, shakes hands with his domestic slaves), and left Florida a day or two afterwards.— Our course northward lay through the beautiful sea islands on the coast of Georgia. The voyage between them is truly delightful, notonly for the beauty of the scenery, but the picture of happy labor it presents. It would be hard to find an equal in beauty to the zone of vegetation that surrounds them, or a more enliving scene of labor. 'Here a sturgeon leaps, or a porpoise blows, there an alligator floats like a log on the surface of the water, or Swift fromextended in the sun. wift from some little cove darts forth a light boat, manned by some half dozen negroes, with faces looking happy as a schoolboy's on a holiday i their oars keep time to their songs in praise of their boat and their master. From be hind the bushes burst forth the sound of loud laughter, or gay voices, perhaps echoing back the chorus of the sable crew in the boat. An opening through the leafy..screen at the bottom of the cove whence the boat came, discloses the interior of the island, showing the wide-spread cotton fields, the mansions of the planters, the little towns of negro houses, half buried in trees; and the cheerful gangs of laborers (must I say slaves'?) whose merry voices have been, heard before. Attheboat-landinggroups of little negro children, perhaps, too, there are many white children mingled with them, are playing on the sands, or ang ling in the clear wave, and here and there an old superannuated negro is en joying the sunshine,or aiding the young ones in their sport. The scene is one of beauty, life and happiness. Such are the shores of Georgia. From Savannah we proceeded to Augusta; thence to the Warm Springs in North Carolina, and so northward and eastward to New York. After spending a few days near the clear blue waters of the Horicon, I proceeded to Boston in order to spend a few days near Dr. Harris. I knew that from an American I could expect nothing but candor and kindness, for it is the grand characteristic of the nation. But much as I had expected, what I met with far exceeded my expectations. Important Murder Trial In Carlisle The Carlisle Democrat has the follow ing account of the proceedings in an important murder trial just closed be fore the court of that place : Howard Rupert, Lewis Rupert and Henry Rupert were put upon trial in the Court of Oyer and Terminer of that county, on Tuesday, the 18th inst., for the murder of W. Vanasdlen, at Centre ville, on the 31st of December last. Vanasdlen was a deserter from the army and the Ruperts attempted to arrest him, and while doingso Howard Rupert shot him, causinahis death in less than an hour afterwards. The facts as proved on the trial are about as fol lows: Sometime in the fall the Ru perts declared that as soon as they got through with their work they would " attend " to Vanasdlen ; that some time previous Howard had alsodeclared that if V. did not husk his (Rupert's) corn he should never husk for any other person, Sc. On the 31st of December, they came to Centreville, where.Vanas dlen lived, and where a large number of persons were assembled at the hotel, among them the deceased, and when he left for his own house, one of the Ru perts placed his hand upon Vanasdlen's shoulder and said "you are my prisoner." Vanasdlen replied "how so ?" Rupert answered, "well you are," when V. jerked him self loose and walked off. When he was about ten yards off Howard Rupert called upon him to stop and almost in stantly fired his pistol, the ball entering near the spinal column and coming out at the point of the breast bone. They then took him to his house and insisted On taking him to Carlisle whilst he was in the agonies of death,Boward having previously declaredthat he would deliver him at the Provost Marshal's office "dead or alive." After his death, the same day, Howard having previouslydeclared that " Vanasdlen was dead, G—d d—n him, as he ought to be," and similar ex pressions, tending to show malice. The defendants attempted to justify the killing by showing that he was a deserter, and that Col. Henderson had requested them to arrest him, and Mr. Early, a detective connected with the Provost Marshal's office, had told them that if he attempted to escape from them they should shoot him down. The trial occupied three days, and after a full and impartial charge from Judge Graham, the jury retired on Thursday evening to deliberate and re turned on Friday morning cwith a ver dict of murder in the first degreeagainst Howard Rupert, and murder in the second degree against Lewis Rupert and Henry Rupert. The defendants were then remanded to prison to await their sentence. Destitution in Richmond. The Whig says " We are authorized to announcethat, by order of the military authorities, the commissaries of subsistence of thernited States army in this city will begin to day to issue to all citizens bread at six and a quarter cents per loaf of eighteen ounces. The humanityof this move, prompted by the, considerate thoughtfulness of the military authori ties, cannot be over-estimated. There are to-day thousands rof our citizens, male and female, but chiefly the latter, who living in unwilling but unavoida ble idleness, are without, the means of subsistence. Over EON thousand of these persons (females,) up to the time of the evacuation, earned, by making.soldiers' clothing, a scanty, livelihood; elcettouP by such supplies as the Citite.v!Vzillef Committee r>=nl; The last three weeks InanY ,thcitn:Mnat have 'perished . but for the reirett4vOr timely'arid. WTO4O theM. by the . United Stites fulttioritleit." . . Macaulay's Description of the Puritans. We take the following brilliant and life-like picture from, the first volume of Macaulay's History of England : They mistook their own vindictive feelings for emotions of piety ;' encour aged in themselves, by reading and med itation, a disposition to brood over their wrongs, and, when they had worked themselves up into hating their ene mies, imagined they were hating only the enemies of Heaven. In the New Testament there was little, indeed, which, even perverted by the most dis ingenious exposition, could seem to countenance the indulgence' of malevolent passions. But the Old Testament contained „the history' of a race selected by .God to be witnesses of his unity and Ihinisters of his ven geance, and specially commanded by him to do many things which, if done without his special command, would have been atrocious crimes. In such a history it was not difficult for fierce and gloomy spirits to find much that might be distorted to suit their wishes. The extreme Puritans, therefore, be gan to feel for the Old Testa ment a preference which, per haps, they did not distinctly avow even to themselves, but which showed itself in all their,sen‘iments and habits. They paid to the Hebrew language a respect which they refused to that tongue in which the discourses of Jesus and the epistle of Paul have come down to us. They baptised their children by the names, not of Christian saints, but of Hebrew patriarchs and warriors. In defiance of the express and reiterated declarations of Luther and Calvin, they turned the weekly festival by which the Church had, from the primitive times, commemorated the resurrection of her Lord,' into a Jewish l'abbath. They sought for principles of jurispru dence in the Mosaic law, and for prece des is to guide their ordinary "conduct in tbe books of Judges and Kings.— Their thoughts and discourses ran meet• on acts which were assuredly not receded as examples for our imitation. Th€ prophet who hewed in pieces a cal dye king; the rebel, general who gave the blood of a queen to the dogs the matron who, in defiance of plighted faith, and of the laws of Eastern hos pitality, drove the nail into the brain of the fugitive ally who had just fed at her board, and who was sleeping under the shadow of her tent—were proposed as models of Christian suffering under the tyranny of princess and prelates.— Morals and manners were subjected to a code resembling that of a synagogue, when the synagogue was in its worst state. The dress, the department, the language, the studies, the amusements of the rigid sect were regulated on prin cirles resembling those of the Pharisees, who, proud of their washed hands and broad philacteries, taunted the Re deemer as a Sabbath 7 hreaker and a wine bibber. IV" - was a sin to hanggarlands on a May-pole, to drink a friend's health, to fly a hawk, to hunt a stag, to play at chess, -to wear love locks, to put starch into a ruff, to touch the virginals, to read the Fairy Queen. Rules such as these—rules which would appeared insupportable to the free and joyous spirit of Luther, and contempti ble to the serene and philosophical intel lect of Zuingle, threw over all life a more than monastic gloom. The learn ing and eloquence by which the great Reformers had been eminently dis- tinguished, and to which they had been, in no small measure, indebted for their success, were regarded by the new school of Protestants with suspicion, if not aversion. Some pre cisians scrupled about teaching the Latin grammer because the names of Mars, Bacchus and Apollo occurred in it. The fine arts were all but proscribed. The solemn peal of the organ was super stitious. The light music of Ben John son's masks was dissolute. Half the flue paintings in England were idola trous, and the other half indecent. The Puritan was at once known from other men by his gait, his garb, his lank hair, the sour solemnity of his face, the upturned white of his eyes, the nasal twang with which he spoke ; and above all, by this peculiar dialect. He employed, on every occa sion, the imagery and style of Scripture. Hebraisms violently introduced into the English language, and metaphors borrowed from the boldest lyric poetry of a remote age and country, and ap plied to the common concerns of English life, were the most striking peculiarities of this cant, which moved, not without cause, the derision both of prelatists and libertines.

The Memphis Argus of the 7th says: We have authentic information of the following occurrences : On Thursday of last week Captain Renker and eight men of Jo. Shelby's guerrilla outlaws, who for some time past have been operating in Northern Arkansas, At ssed White river below Clarendon, — and entered Monroe county. They first proceeded to Mr. S. Pepper's plantation., near which they found a furloughed soldier named Keep, whom, without provocation, they 'murdered in cold blood. Keep was stripped, tied to a tree and made a target for their pistol balls. He received several shots one of which took effect in his mouth and killed him. Mr. Peppers was taken out of his own house and killed, receiv ing a ball in his breast. During their stay, which lasted seve ral hours, the guerrillas maltreated quite a number of citizens, beating them with clubs and the butts of their carbines and pistols. Women were in sulted, and the entire neighborhood was for ati under a perfect reign df terror. As soon as : the murderers left, a few rebel soldiers in the vicinity and a num ber of citizens organized, mounted and pursued them. They overtook them about twenty miles from Duncan's Prairie,and immediately attacked them. The fugitives scarcely attempted to re turn their fire, and made evsry effort to escape ; but the fresh horses of the pur suersrendered the attempt futile. They were shot down without mercy or dis tinction of person, and not one escaped the fate they themselves meted out to Peppers and Keep. The captain and his eight men were all killed within a space of six or eight miles, and left where they fell, the indignant pursuers not deigning to bury them. From Havana We have news from Havana to the 22nd of April. President Lincoln's as sassination had been announced in the city. The news produced a profound sensation of horror, even the Southern rebel residents expressing their regret at such an awful occurrence. News had been received at Havana that the Mexican leader Cortina had revolted against Maximilian and assaulted Mata moros. He was repulsed by Gen. Mejia. It was said that Cortina's force was made up chiefly of Texans, and it was charged that his action against the em pire was instigated to a great extent by army officers and civil of of the 'United States. We have little news from St. Domin go by this arrival. About one hundred and seventy Spanish prisoners, officers and soldiers, had been exchanged on the Sth and 10th instants, all of whom were in a deplorable condition; ninety six of them having to be sent to the hospital. From Central America. The news of the fall of Richmond, although expected, produced consider able excitement in Panama,•and induced the belief that the war in North Ameri ca was nearly ended. Panama was agitated by rumors of. fresh outbreaks and revolutionary risings.. The new government was in quiet working order, however. In, Central America the republic of.

The Attempt to take the Life of •general Jackson. Now that the assassin ; has deprived . the nation of its Chief Magistrate, the following account of .an attempt upon the life of General Jackson, during his second term, will be found interesting. We extract it from the first volume of Colonel Benton's Thirty Years? View: On Friday, the 30th of January, 1835, the President, with some members of his Cabinet, attended the funeral cere monies of Warren R. Davis, Esq., in thehallof thellouse of Representatives, of which body Mr. Davis had been a member from the State. of South Caro line. The procession had moved out with the body, and its front had reach ed the foot of the broad steps of the eastern portico, when the President, with Mr. Woodbury, Secretary of the Treasury, ,and Mr. Mahlon Dickerson, Secretary of the Navy, were issuing from the door of the great rotunda, which opens upon the portico. At that instant a person stepped from the crowd into the little open spacein front of the President, leveled a pistol at him at the distance of about eight feet, and attempted to fire. It was a per cussion lock, and the cap exploded with out firing the powder in the barrel. The explosion of the cap was so loud that many thought the pistol was fired. I heard it at the foot of the steps, far from the place, and a great crowd be tween. Instantly the person dropped the pistol which had missed fire, took another which he held ready cocked in the left hand, concealed by a cloak, leveled it, and pulled the trigger. It was also a percussion lock, and the cap exploded without firing the powder in the barrel. The President instantly rushed upon him with uplifted cane ; the man shrank back ; Mr. Woodbury aimed a blow at him •, Lieut. Gedney, of the navy, knocked him down, and he was secured by the bystanders, who delivered him to the officers of justice for judicial examination. The exami nation took place before the chief jus tice of the district, Mr. Cranch, by whom he was committed in default of bail. His name was ascertained to be Richard Lawrence, an Englishman by birth, and house painter by trade, at present out of employment, melancholy and irascible. The pistols wereexamin ed and found to be well loaded, and fired afterward without fail, carrying their bullets true, and driving them through inch boards at thirty feet dis tance, nor could any reason be found for the two failures at the door of the rotunda. On his examination the prisoner seemed to be at his ease, as if unconscious of having done any thing wrong—refusing to cross-examine the witnesses who testified against him, or to give any ex planation of his conduct. The idea of an unsound mind strongly impressing itself upon public opinion, the Marshal of the District invited two of the most respectable physicians of the city (Dr. Thomas Sewell) to visit him and ex amine into his mental condition. They did so, and the following is the report, which they made upon the case : We omit the report of the physicians, which is to the effect that Lawrence was of a morbid, melancholy disposi tion, who had been induced to believe that the financial condition of the coun try was owing to Gen. Jackson's veto of the bank and his war on the currency ; that if he was onco out of the way, no 'twitter who might be his successor, business would improve, and money be come plenty. It is clearly to be seen, from this med ical examination of the man, that this attempted assassination of the Presi dent was one of those cases of which history presents many instances—a dis eased mind acted upon by general out cry against a public man. Lawrence was in the particular condition to be acted upon by what be heard against General Jackson—a workman out of employment, needy, idle, mentally mor bid, and with reason enough to argue regularly from false premises. He heard the President accused of breaking up the labor of the country ! and believed it—of making money scarce! and he believed it—of producing the distress! and believed it—of being an obstacle to all relief! and believed it. And com ing to a regular conclusion from all these beliefs, he attempted to do what he believed the state of things required him to do. take the life of the man whom he Considered the whole cause of his own and the general calamity, and the sole obstacle to his own and the general happiness. Hallucination of mind was evident; and the wretched victim of a dreadful delusion was after ward treated as insane, and never brought to trial. But the circumstances made a deep impression upon the pub lic feeling, and irresistibly carried many minds to the belief in a superintending Providence, manifested in the extraor dinary case of two pistols in succession —so well loaded, so coolly handled, and which afterward were fired with such readiness, force, and precision—missing fire, each in its turn, when leveled eight feet at the President's heart. How the President was Shot A Washington correspondent of the Times writes as follows: The idea has gone abroad that the pistol shot was tired through the door, the assassin standing outside. This was not the case. Upon close examina tion we find the hole in the door of the stage box, which is in one of the angles of the pannel, to have been made with a bitt or large-sized gimlet. It was made probably by the assassin some time be fore,so as to be able to ascertain the precise position of his victim before entering the box. At the moment of the fearful deed the President was seated in a large and comfortable crimson velvet patent rock ing chair, his right elbow upon the arm of the chair, and his head resting upon his band. The left hand was extended to pull gently aside the flag (belonging to the Treasury Guard) which draped the side of the box nearest him. His eyes were directed towards the orches tra, a kindly smile upon his face. At this instant the assassin burst open the door immediately behind the President, and deliberately shot him, as stated in the accounts of the press. It was all the work of a moment The flash of the pistol, the curling of the smoke, were scarce noticed, when the murderer was seen to spring from the box upon the stage beneath some twelve feet distant. The Family of the New President. [From the Washington Chronicle.] The Hon. Andrew Johnson, seven teenth President of the United States, is in the fifty-sixth year of his age. His family resides at present in Nashville, Tennessee, and consists of his wife and four children, two sons and two daugh ters. His son Robert is twenty-nine, and Andrew Johnson, Jr. is twelve years of age. His two daughters with their families, also reside in Nashville, having been driven from their homesin Eastern Tennessee. One of Mr. John son's sons, Charles, a surgeon in the army, was thrown from his horse in the year 1863 and killed, and Col. Stever, a son-in-law, commanding the 4th regi ment of Tennessee infantry, was killed in the battle of Nashville, while gal lantly leading his command, on the 18th of December, 1864. Judge Patter son, who is also a son-in-law of the President, lives in Nashville. Mrs. Johnson has been in very delicate health for some time past, and it is probable Mrs. Col.' Stover will preside over the Presidential household. The Son of Horace &Feeley. It is doubtless not known to a ma jority of readers, that Mr. Greeley has a son of twenty-two years, in the Federal army.. He is stopping in New Orleans a few dips, on his way to his regiment, the 14th New York cavalry, in which he is First Lieutenant, and whicli is stationed at present in Morganzia, in Louisiana. From a remark that the young gentleman was at pains to make, when his lineage Was alluded to that "he belonged to the 14th New 'York cavalry, himself, not to any d—d-nigger :rwilnent," it would appear,to say the _l a esot it, that the teachings of his dia -1 tinguished father had been ezpendwi on him to no purpose. NUMBER 17. Particulars of the Proposed Surrender of Johnston. From the Special Correspondent of the New York Tribune.' After a two days' conference between Major-General Sherman and Major- General Joseph E. Johnston, command ing the Rebel forces east of the Missis sippi River, with the concurrence of Jefferson Davis, andin the presence and with the advice of Gen. John C. Breck inridge the whole remaining Rebel army from the Potomac to the Rio Grande has been surrendered to the forces of the United States. As I have already stated the confer ence was sought by Gen. Johnston on the day following the occupation of Raleigh by 11Le Union army—the 14th, a flag Pf truce being sent in, with a re quest for an armistice, and a statement of the best terms on which Gen. John ston would be permitted to surrender the army under his command. Gen. Sherman sent out Col. McCoy with his ultimatum and after some two days' delay, during which Gen. Johnston's efforts were somewhat embarrassed by the refactory and mutinous position of Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, a personal interview took place between the two chiefs of the opposing armies, at Bennett's house, five miles beyond Durham's Station, on the North Caro lina Railroad, midway between the lines. The conference was strictly private, only Wade Hampton being present with Gen. Johnston on the first day, Monday, and John C. Breckinridge taking Hampton's place on the second day, Tuesday. The only members of the Rebel staffpresent were Capts. Johnston and Hampton, the latter a son of the Rebel South Carolinian, and a chip of the old block. The generals were treated with in their characters as simply com manders of the insurrectionary forces. The Southern Confederacy was not rec ognized, although Jefferson Davis was understood to be a party consenting to the surrender. Wade Hampton is un derstood to have withdrawn from the conference, and signified his intention, like the Irishman, to continue the fight on his own hook, which, it is devoutly hoped, he will do. If he and South Carolina have not enough of the war, they can readily be treated to another dose. This sweeps from existence as an arm ed force against the government all the rebel troops known to the Confederacy, and makes outlaws and guerrillas of all parties who remain in arms against the constituted authorities. The forces of Kirby Smith, west of the Mississippi ; all the irregular cavalry and roving bands in Texas, Missouri, and else where; the garrison at Mobile and at other points in Alabama and Southern Tennessee—all troops of whatever name and nation, who have been ranged on the side of the rebellion, whether as belonging to any recognized commander or playing the guerrilla upon their own hook for private plunder. Gen. Johnston expresses deep and apparently sincere sorrow, and much concern at the assassination of Presi dent Lincoln, in which he was joined by each Confederate officer present. Gen. Johnston regards it as the most terrible blow yet inflicted on the Con federate cause and the sotilliern people, and seems deeply to deplore the event, coming as it does upon the close of this great struggle. It is now settled that as soon as the ratification of the terms of surrender or capitulation of the Rebel armies is made known from Washington, Gen. Sherman will march his army north ward to Harrisburg, Pa., where it will be mustered out of service. General Schofield, commanding the Department of North Carolina, will probably remain with the Army of the Ohio, to maintain order until affairs be come settled in the State. An earnest wish prevails among the citizens that our forces will continue to extend pro tection over them until the civil au thorities are fully established, and there is a chance for a free expression of the choice of the people, for their future rulers, at the ballot-box. If the signs of the times indicate anything, they point to a complete overthrow of the unprincipled demagogues who have ruled the State. The prospects of peace and of an early march home produces much rejoicing among the old soldiers of the army.— They will go in light marching order, the heavy army material such as ord nance stores, and all superfluous impe diments being sent by sea from Beaufort. But this is anticipation. No orders, of course, have yet been issued on the sub ject. The return of Col. Hitchcock, the bearer of dispatches to Washington, will be looked for with intense interest. Al ready officers and men are casting about them for the future in view of their re- lease from service in the army. The weather is delightful, and all nature seems to sympathize in the gen eral joy which pervades the army over the return of peace. The military bands this evening is serenading the different headquarters of the army. Arrest of a Citizen of Hagerstown, as an Accomplice in the Assassination. Mr. John D. Reamer, a citizen of Ha gerstown, Maryland, formerly of this place, has got into serious trouble in con nection with the recent dastardly as sassination of the Chief Magistrate of the United States. On Sabbath evening last he voluntarily went to the Hagers town jail and asked to be locked up as a refuge from the fury of the incensed citizens of that place, which was accord ingly done. On Monday his stock of goods were brought to this place, to save them from destruction, and stored in the warehouses of Messrs. Oaks & Linn, where they were seized by U. S. officials the following day. A special train over the Franklin and Cumberland Railroad on the same day conveyed him under guard to Washing ton city for examination by the authori ties. Mr. Reamer has had the reputa tion in Hagerstown of being a warm sympathiser with the rebels, and his alleged connection with the assassina tion of the late President is based on the following facts sworn to by a citi zen of that place, who is said to be of good character and standing: About the first of March last Reamer confi dentially informed a customer, while purchasing goods in his store, that one hundred thousand dollars were being raised to secure the assassination of President Lincoln. The assassin was to receive fifty thousand dollars pre vious to the commission of the deed, and the balance immediately after its perpetration. This was to be before the 12th day of April. We forbear all comment, as the matter will undergo thorough investi gation at the hands of the officers of the government, and we have no desire to prejudice the case in the opinion of the public. If guilty of any participation whatever, near or remote, in the foul and brutal 'murder of the lamented President, he should meet condign pun ishment; but if innocent, he should not be made to suffer in reputation before the people.— Valley Spirit. Punishment of the Raiders into Penn Sylvania. HARRISBURG, April 26.—1 t is report ed in official circles that the District Attorney of Franklin county will bring before the grand jury of the court, soon to convene in that county, bills of indict ment against Gen. McCausland, Gill more and otherleading rebels, for levy ing war upon the inhabitants of Frank lin county, for pillage, arson and mur der. There can be no doubt that true bills will be found, when Governor Cur tin will immediately demand the wretches thus indicted from the Gover nor of Virginia for trial in Pennsylvania. Before the proposed action of the Dis trict Attorney of Franklin county was known, it was contemplated by the Ex ecutive of Pennsylvania to make a formal demand for McCausland and Gffimore. This action is now postponed to await the result of 'the proceedings before a grand jury of Franklin county. It is now known to the Government that the news of the President's assassi- Lion had reached Gen. Sherman several hours prior to hissettling upon his terms f capitulation.

It is the opinion of well-informed gen tlemen that Jeff. Davis will be able to reorganize a force of about 40,000 troops in Texas, with which he will shove into Mexico, in the event of being pressed by the Union forces. A correspondent of the Boston Adver tiser says there is no truth in the state ment that J. Wilkes Booth was to mar ried soon to a daughter of Senator Hale, nor was there the slightest foundation for the assertion. The Washington cor respondent of a Cincinnati paper first started the story. A dispatch from Newbern, dated the 20th. states that many of the members of the Legislature, residing in that part of the State, arrived there yesterday on their way to Raleigh, for thepurpose of restoring the State to the Union. The exchange of five thousand Union soldiers at Darien, Georgia, which it is supposed has taken place by this time, will leave scarcely any of our men in the hands of the rebels, while there still remain in the hands of the government between sixty and seventy thousand rebel troops, besides these paroled under the terms of Lee's surrender. Major General Hancock has issued a special appeal to the colored people of the District of Columbia, Maryland and the Eastern portion of Virginia, calling upon them to use every exertion to dis cover and bring to justice Booth and his accomplices, the murderers of their best friend, Abraham Lincoln. A musical festival of German singers is to take place at Dresden next summer. No fewer than 16,300 are already an nounced, of whom 8,000 will come from Saxony and 3,500 from Prussia. It is thought that 24,000 in all will attend. It is stated on good authority that the cavalry belonging to Lee's army have nearly all succeeded in making a junc tion with Wheeler and Wade Hampton, and that the united cavalry force of the enemy now in our front numbers at least 10,000 men. It is also rumored, but not generally credited, that a nuruber of stragglers from the rebel army of Northern Virginia have made their ap pearance inside of Johnston's lines and have been pressed into the ranks of his army. Four thousand of the paroled men re cently belonging to Lee's rebel army left Fortress Monroe on last Saturday for their various homes in and around Savannah, Mobile and New Orleans, for which cities they were furnished free transportation on board United States steamers. Major General Halleck issued his offi ci.,l order on assuming command at Richmond, as successor to General Ord, on last Saturday. General Ord goes to South Carolina to supersede General Gilmore. Justprevious to General Ord's relinquishment of command at Rich mond a circular was issued by his di rection informing those paroleolpfllcers of Lee's army who desired to Wye the country that passports and passage to Halifax, N. S., would be furnished them on application at the office of the Provost Marshal of his department. The Roman Catholic church in Poland has sustained a severe loss by the death of Monsignor Leon Przyluskl, Arch bishop of Posen and Gresen. This ven erable prelate, whose numberless acts of piety and charity greatly endeared him to all classes in Poland, was born in 1789, and was appointed to the archbishopric in 1845. The Jay county, (Ind.) Torchlight say the horses of William Cliff, of that place, were made entirely deaf by the heavy firing of cannon in honor of Lee's surrender. They have so continued ever since. Goverpor Fenton had a narrow escape from being severely injured, perhaps killed, on Thursday evening last, while leaving New York on a Harlem Rail road train, by a stone which!a boy dashed / through the car window.

" Jerked beef" has been formally tried in the Sanitary Court of London, and Dr. Letheby delivered judgment on the 28th. The doctor said he had care full examined the beef, and found that all the fat it contained was rancid, but with regard to the lean portion of the meat, he had eaten some of it himself, and:he considered it was perfectly whole some as human food. The Paris correspondent of the Lon don Post writes : " The Parisian rulers of fashion have solemnly decreed that the female dress of the empire shall be brought into full fashion this summer. Already the shops and saloons of the more advanced in modes discover the queer-looking little half-hat bonnets of the days of Napoleon 1., and there are dresses to be seen with very, very low waists, which will reveal more than we have seen of the ladies for many years in society." Edward B. Rhodes, convicted at Sun bury, Pa., of the murder of Mrs. Cham berlain, of Shamokin township, has been sentenced to be hung. A large number of chartered vessels in the service of the Quartermaster Gener al's Department have been discharged, business having much diminished in that branch of the public service. Mr. Seward's physicians have little hope that his mouth will ever recover its symmetry. It is likely to be awry, and probably power will be lacking en tirely to close the lower jaw. J. Wilkes Booth's last appearance upon the stage, previous to his fearful act on Friday night, April 14, was in the character of Pescara, in the Apostate, at Ford's theatre, on the occasion of Mr. J.

The President has recognized Robert Barth as Consul for the Kingdom of Bavaria, as Consul for the Duohy of Nassau, and as Consul for the Duchy of Brunswick and Lanenburg, for the State of Missouri, to reside at St. Louis. By direction of the War Department, all drafted men of the District of Colum bia, who were in barracks and not actu ally in the field, have been released. The trial of Miss Mary Harris, charged with the murder of A. J. Burroughs, in January last, at the Treasury Depart ment, has been postponed until a week from next Wednesday, the 3d of May, on account of the sickness of,Miss Harris, who is now suffering with erysipelas in the face. Col. Richard White, late of the 55th Penn'a Volunteers, died at his residence near Indiana, Pa., on Friday last from an attack of inflamatory rheumatism. Col.
