Think of the bitter wind and driving' rlll./W; ihillk how you shook mol shivered--haw the sharp, white p.trticles were driven against your face—how, within doors, the car pets were lifted like bellows along the lloors, t h e wind howled and moaned in the chimney's, windows creaked, doors rattled, :ind every now and then heavy lumps of snow came thundering down with a dull writtlit from the roof. Now, hear Illy :.‘brry. In one of the broad, open plains of Lincolnshire, there is a long, reedy sheeL of wafer, a favorite resort of wild duck. At the northern extremities stand two mud cottages, old and out of repair. thie biller night, when the snow lay three feet deep on the ground, and a• cutting Vast wind was driving it about, and whistling in the dry fror • gu reeds at the water's edge, and swinging the bare willow trees till their branches swept the ice, :in old woman sat spin ning in one of these emtages before a moderately cheerful lire. .ILer kettle was singing on the coals; she had a reed candle of homednade rushlight on her table, but the full moon shone in, and was the mightier light of the two. These two cottages were far from the road or any Miler habit alien; the old woman was therefore surprised, as she sat drawing out her thread, crooning an old north cpuntry song, to hear a sudden knock at the door. It was loud antl impatient, not like the knocks of her neighbors from the other cottage; 101 l Ltte fluor was bolted, and the old woman rose, and shuffling Lo the window, looked out and saw a shivcring lig,ure, apparently a youth. "Trampers," said the old woman, sententiously ; ' tramping bulks be not wanted here." So saying she went back to the tire, Without, deigning to answer the door. The youth upon this tried the door, :Intl culled upon her to beg admittance. She heard him rap the snow from his tiiIOUS against her lintel, and again knock as if he thought she was deaf, awl he should surely gain admittance if he could only make her hear. Tlw ohl WOlllall, surprised at his au dacity, went to thelicasement, and with all her pride of possession, opened it, and inquired his business. " Good woman," the stranger began, " I only want a seat at your lire." " Nay" said the old woman, giving elll-ct to nor words by her uncouth dia lect; " t I get no shelter here; I've naught to give to beggars—a dirty wet critter," she continued, wrathfully, slamming to the window, "it's a won der where lie found any water, too, see ing it freezes so hard a body can get none fur the kettle, saving what is bro ken up with a hatchet." On this the beggar turned hastily away. Awl at this point in his narrative, the person who told it to me stopped and said : " you think the old woman was very much to bitunel."' " She 'night have acted more kindly," I replied ; " but why do you ask?" " Because," he said, "I have heard Tier conduct. so much reflected upon by those who would have thought nothing of it if it had not been for the conse quences." `She might lace turned him away less roughly," I observed. "That is true," lie continued, " but in any ease, I think, though we might give them food or money, we should hardly invite beggars in to sit by the " Certainly not," I replied ; " and this woman could not tell that the beggar was lowest." • " No" said he. " lint I must go on with my narrative." The stranger turned very hastily away from the door and waded through the deep snow towards the other cottage. The bitter wind helped to drive him towards it. It looked no less poor than the first; and when lie had tried the door, found it bolted, and knocked twice without attracting attention, his heart sank within him. His hand was so numb with cold that he made scarcely • any noise ; lie tried again. A ruslr candle was burning within, and a matronly-lookiug woman sat be fore the fire. She held en infant, iu her arms, and had dropped asleep ; but his. third knock roused her, and wrapping her apron around her child, she opened the door a little way and demanded what he wanted. " Good woman," the youth bean, " I have had the misfortune to fall in the water this bitter night, and I tun so numbed I can hardly walk." The woman gave him a sudden, earn est look, and then sighed. "Come in," she said: "thou art so nigh the size of my Jem, I thought at first it was him came home from sea. The youth stepped across the thresh hold trembling with wet and cold, and no •wonder, for his clothes were com pletely incased in wet and mud, and the water dropped from them with every step lie took on the sanded floor. " Thou art in a sorry plight," said the woman, "and it be two miles to the nighest house: thy teeth chatter so pi tifully, I can scarce bear to hear them." She looked at him more attentively, and saw that he was a mere boy, not more than sixteen years of age. Her motherly heart was touched for him. " Art hungry?" she asked, turning to the table; "thou art wet to the skin.— What bast been doing ?" "Shooting wild ducks," said the boy. "Oh!" said the hostess, "thou art one of the keeper's boys then, I reck on ?" He followed the direction of her eyes, and saw two portions of bread set upon the table, with a small piece of bacon on each. " My master is very late," she ob served, for charity did nor make her use elegant language, and by her mas ter she meant herhusband ; but thou 3 1 ;etirt4ter litttcttigatect VOLUME 68 art welcome to my bit and sup, for I'm wasting for him ; may be it will put a little warmth in thee to eat and drink ;" so saying she took up a mug of beer from the hearth and pushed it towards him, with her share of the supper. " Thank you," said the boy, " tut I am so wet I am making quite a pool before your fire, with the drippings from my clothes." "Ay, thou art wet, indeed," said the woman, and rising again, she began to search, and presently came to the fire with a perfectly clean check shirt in her hand, and a tolerably good suit of clothes. - " There," said she, showing them with no small pride, " these be my master's Sunday clothes, and if thou wilt be very careful of them, I'll let thee wear them till thine be dry." She then explained that she was going to put her bairn "to bed, and proceeded up a ladder into the room above, leav ing the boy to array himself in these respectable and desirable garments. When she came down her guest had dressed himself in the laborer'sclothes; he had time to warm himself, and he was eating and drinking with much relish. lie had thrown his muddy clothes in a heap upon the floor, and as she proceeded to lift them up, she said: "All, lad, lad, I doubt thy head has been under water; thy mother would have been sorely frightened if she could have seen thee a while ago." "Yes," said the boy, and iu imagina- tion the cottage dame saw this said mother a care-worn, hard-working crea ture like herself—while the youthful guest saw in imagination a beautiful and courtly lady—and both the same love, the same anxiety, the same terror at sight of a lonely boy struggling in the moonlight through brenOngice, with no one to help him, catching at the frozen reeds, and then creeping up, shivering and benumbed, to a cottage door. But even as she stooped the woman forgot her imagination, for she had taken a waistcoat into her hands, such as she had never passed between them before—u gold pencil case dropped from the pocket, and on the floor among a heap of mud that covered the outer garments, lay a white shirt sleeve, so white indeed, and line, thatshe thought it could hardly be worn by a squire. She glanced from the clothes to the owner. lie had thrown down his cap, and fair curly hair and broad fore- head' convinced her that he was of gentle birth; but while she hesitated to sit down, he set a chair for her, and said with boyish frankness ; " I say, what a lonely place this is ; if you had not let rue in, the water would all have frozen on rue before I reached home. Catch me a duck-shooting again by my self!" " It's very cold sport that, sir," said • he woman. The young gentleman assented most •eadily, and asked if he might stir the "And welcome, sir," said the woman. She felt a curiosity to know who he was, and lie partly satisfied her by remarking that he was staying at Dean Hall, a house about live miles oil; adding that in the morning lie lied broken a hole in the ice very near the decoy, but it had iced over so fast, that in the dusk he had missed it and fallen in,lor it would not bear him. lie had made some land marks and taken every precaution, but he supposed the sport had excited him so much, that in the moonlight, he had passed them by. He then told her of his attempt to get shelter in the other cottage "Sir," said the woman, said you were a gentleman—•• The boy laughed. " I don't think I knew it, my good woman," he replied, "my senses were so benumbed; for I was sometime struggling at the water's edge among the broken ice, and then 1. believe I was nearly an hour creeping to your cottage door. I remember it all rather indistinctly, but as I felt the fire and drank the warm beer, I was a differ ent creature." While they still talked the husband came in, and while he was eating his supper, they agreed that he would walk to Dean Hall, and let the inmates know of the gentleman's safety, and when he was gone they made up the fire with the coal that remained to that poor household, and the woman crept up to the bed and left her guest to lie down and rest. In the grey - of dawn the laborer re turned with a servant leading a horse and bringing a fresh suit of clothes. The young gentleman took his leave with many thanks, slipping three half crowns into the woman s hand, probably ah the money he had about him. And I must not forget to mention that he kissed the baby, for, when she tells the story, the mother always adverts to that circumstance with great pride, adding that her child, being as " clean as wax - , was quite fit to be kissed by anybody." . . " Ilissus," said her husband, as they stood in the doorway, looking after their guest, " who do'st think that be ."' " I don't know," answered the missus. "Then I'll just tell thee. That be young Lord W. ; so thou mayest be a proud woman, thou sits and talks with lords, and asks them in to supper—ha, ha!" So saying, the master shouldered his spade and went his way, leaving her clinking the three half crowns in her hand, and considering what she should do with them. Her neighbor from the other cottage presently stepped in, and when she heard the tale and saw the money, her heart was ready to break with envy and jealousy. "Oh, to think that good luck should . have come to her door, and she have been so foolish as to turn it away. Seven shillings and six- pence for a morsel of food and a night's shelter--it is nearly a week's wages!" So there, as they both supposed, the matter ended, and the next week the frost was sharper than ever. Sheep were frozen in the leuny fields, and poultry on their perches, but the good woman had walked to the nearest town and bought a blanket. It was a wel come addition to their bed covering, and it was many a long year since they hail been so comfortable. But it chanced one day at noon, that looking out at her casement, she spied three young gentlemen skating along the ice towards her cottage. They sprang on the bank, took off their skates, and made for her door. The young nobleman informed her that he had such a severe cold he could not come to see her before. "He spoke as pleasantly," she ob served, in telling the story, "as if I had been a lady and no less. And then he brought a parcel out of his pocket, 'and I've been over to 8.,' he says, 'and bought you a book for a keepsake, and I hope you will accept it ;' for then all talked as pretty as could be for a matter of ten minutes, and went away. So I waited till my master came home, and we opened the parcel, and there was a tine Bible inside, all over gold and red morocco, and my name was written inside! and bless him! a ten pound note doubled down over the names. I'm sure that when I thought he was a poor, forlorn boy, he was kindly wel come. So my master laid out part of the money in tools, and we rented a garden, and he goes over on market day to sell what we grow. So, now, thank God, we want for nothing. This is how she generally concludes the little history, never failing to add that the young Lord kissed her baby. "But," said my friend, I have not told you what I thought the best part of the anecdote. When this poor Chris tian woman was asked what had in duced her to take in a perfect stranger, and trust him with the best clothing the house afforded, she answered sim ply: " Well, I saw him shivering and shrinking, so I thought, thou shalt come in for the sake of Him that had not where to lay His head." The old woman in the cottage may open her door every night of her future life to some forlorn beggar, but it is all but certain that she will never open it to a nobleman in disguise. Let us do good, not to receive more in return, but as an evidence of gratitude for what has already been bestowed.— In a few words, let it be "all for the love and nothing for the reward." The Minister's Guest. Elinor Blake was deeply in love with he Rev. Allston Granger, and her af ectlon was reciprocated. So they were Mr. Granger lived in the country ; and if you want to know what kind of a life his was just go and change your self into a minister, and settle some where just out of a city, with all the inhabitants of which you are more or less acquainted—each and every one of whom will consider it an especial duty to come out and take dinner or tea with you a half dozen times a year, and all of whom will consider it an insult too if your wife don't have three kinds of cake —and fresh milk, eggs and honey on the table. Of course, people who live in the country are expected to have all these things in great abundance. Mrs. Granger was a very pleasant agreeable woman, and tried to have every thing smooth, and she was over run with company. A minister, among other things, is expected to keep a hotel, and it in a way our modern landlords don't very well understand—without money and with out price. It must be open night and day, and hot meals served at all hours. Nobody must be refused admittance. People who are too low to stay at the tavern, are sent to the minister's. Tract ped dlers, book peddlers, agents, women's rights lectures—every body in fact, must go to the Minister's. And then, if the poor clergyman, thinking of his overworked wife and the consumptive state of his larder, ventures to hint that his salary is a small one, he is piously reminded that St. Paul and St. Peter, and those other fine fellows of that epoch, did not dream of receiving any salary at all. But whether they kept tavern and entertained all creation upon free cost does not appear. Mrs. Granger was not a strong woman, and having been brought up delicately, her burden fell heavily. They were too poor to employ help, and she did all the work except her washing. The people who came visiting her never volunteered their assistance about anything. Of course not. It would have been too vulgar. And most of the ladies were invalids—(did you ever no tice that these people who go visiting most are usually out of health?) But we on the present occasion have only to do with the Hey. Asa Drowne, and wife, and their four children : Abel l'riscilla, Rachel Ann, and Ahasuerus Nicodemus. Our story is about them, and the host of other people who visited Mr. and Mrs. Granger shall rest in ob scurity. The I)rowncs arrived late one Satur day evening, when Mrs, Granger was almost (lead with the headache, having just got rid of three ministers and colporteur. Mr. Granger had just finished his sermon for the'morrow— the doors were locked and the family were about retiring for the night. A ring at the door. Mrs. Granger's earL sank—Mr. Granger drew a sigh uid went to the door. On the steps were two trunks, as Inany baud-boxes, several bundles—a Imodle dos, a fat, red-faced man, a NVOlllall of :Wont the same style, and 'our children. "My dear brother Granger!" cried he man, sieziug Mr. Granger's hand nd giving it a heartrending shake. "1 in the Hey. Asa Drowne—traveling Liuerant—and this is my wife, and these are my four children. We came at once to your house, because we knew you would be offended if we did not. My wife is a great invalid! a dreadful suflerer ! Been sick for seven years! And I will speak of it now iu the be ginning, we must sleep where there is a lire! I wouldn't have Eliza Jane sleep away from the lire for a thousand dollars; and I want your wife to see "if you had iat the sheets are well aired before an open lire, very line! My wife is nerv ous—exceedingly nervous—she could not sleep a Wink iu coarse sheets. Lin en is best, if you have them." " I should die before morning if I had to sleep iu coarse sheets!" cried Mrs. Drowne—a stout, fat-faced woman of forty-live or fifty; "I came very . near going to my last home about a week ago, from sleeping on an unbleached pillow case. They thought I was dead for over two hours." "have you a stuffed chair?" ex claimed Mrs. Drowne. "I cannot sit a moment in an uncushioned chair! And I will take a little tea and a bowl of oysters, or a piece of mince pie; I feel so faint!" " And I will trouble you for a cup of coffee," said Mr. Drowue, " it will be a sort of stay to my stomach till supper is ready. What time will you have supper" Mrs. Uranger retired to the heat of a stove, her temples throbbing to burst ing, and her heart the least bit rebel ling at • the influx of these exacting visitors. fter a while the Drownes were gone oil to bed. Such a supper as they had! Mrs. Granger drew a lung breath in thinking of it. She had never dreamed of such achievements in the eating line. The next morning everything went wrong—Mr. Drowne's dyspepsia was worse—he must have fresh eggs and soda crackers, and dry toast, and some cream and honey, and coffee. His ap petite was dreadful poor. Mrs. Browne was wretched. She had hens' feathers in the bed. She was sure of it—and bile never could sleep on hens' feathers! They stuffed her up so! The children amused themselves at cutting paper, and too late Mr. Granger made the discovery that his sermon, on which he had spent the previous day, had been converted into paper dolls and horses with any number of legs, from two to twenty. "Law salve! don't take on about it! said Mrs. Browne. "The little dears didn't mean to do it! Bless 'ern!" Just after dinner, Aunt Peggy Trim Mrs. Granger's aunt, arrived on a visit, Aunt Peggy was a very determined person, and she took charge of the kitchen at once, and sent -firs. Grainger Mr to church witn her husband. The Drownes were not well enough to go, they said. Mrs. Drown() read a story, and Mr. Drowne lay on the sofa and slept. Sud denly Mrs. Drowne missed Fan, the poodle. " Good gracious !" cried she— is Fan ?" The children looked up from their employment of smearing the pictures of a handsome Polyglot Bible with red ink, and gigled. " What have you done with Fanny?" queried their mother. " We've had a funeral!" said Abel with a grin. "A Funeral!" shrieked Mrs. Drowne, " what do you mean'?" "She's in Mrs. Granger's work box, all buried as nice as any body in the garden said Nicodemus : Abel preached the sermon and Lily and I followed as mourners! Abel was sexton! Crackee, wasn't it jolly !" Mrs. Drowne rushed to the garden, followed by the whole company, and there sure enough in Mrs. Granger's dahlia bed the dog was found buried ! The dahlias were all pulled up by the roots, and wilting and dying in the sun, and the dog, very much stifled in the work-box, looked sorry enough as he leaped out with a howl. The sight was too much for the sensi tive Mrs. Drowne. She threw up her hands, crying out— " Oh, gracious me ! I'm dying ! " Farewell Asa !" and fell back on the ground. "Oh, dear!" cried Mr. Drowne, "she's dead, she's had such spells for the last seven years! The doctor said she'd die sometime! Help me to carry her into the house." Aunt Peggy lent a hand, and the senseless woman was deposited on the sofa. "She's dead! Alas! she's dead!" moaned Mr. Drowne: Get the camphor and some hot lemonade, and flannels wrung out of boiling water"— " If she is dead, I guess the sooner she's laid out the better !" said Aunt P "eg You have got rid of an awful burden Brother Drowne; you ought to thank 46. ' l 4 V DJ 14 We'd GS' 14: 9' the Lord for it ! A wife that has been seven years a dying, must be dreadful to get along with ! I should have kept a coffin in the house all the time. Hand me the shears! I'll take her hair off the first thing. You can sell it to the bar ber. It'll make a splendid waterfall for somebody! The dead woman sprang to her feet, and dived at Aunt Peggy. " You'll have my hair off, will ye? You old Jezebel ! I'll have your's off first, see if I don't, and with that she grabbed Aunt Peggy's false front, and peeled her head quicker than a Chero kee Indian could have done it. Aunt Peggy's dander rose. She seized the broom and in less time than it takes me to write it, she had driven every Drowne about the premises, out of doors. And then she piled their baggage out after them. There they sat on their trunks until Deacon Buckley, of the other church, came along—when they told him their tale of wrong—and he took them home with him. The next day he was so anxious to forward them on their journey, and he carried them ten miles, and left them at the house of another minister. Of course the affair created a great deal of scandal in Brookville—but some people were sensible enodgh to com mend Aunt Peggy. But Mr. Granger is still keeping a hotel, and is well patronized by the traveling public. If you should hap pen to pass through Brookville, you will save a dollar or two by stopping all night with Mr. Granger. He won't mind it—he's used to it. =l3 A Negro Candidate for Congress—llls Address to his Constituents. Ttio follovr Mg address by James Patrick Tickling (colurmd) to the voters of the First Congressional District, appears in the Quit man, Georgia, Banner. The Banner says: "For the iafurmation of parties at a dis tance who know not the antecedents or character of the colored Congressional can didato, we will state that James Patrick Tickling was formerly a slave, the property of James E. Young, of Brooks county ; he is a carpenter and a building contractor, and has always borne at good character. 'co THE ciTIZENs of Tll5, coNohEs sioNA 01sTnwr n 5 okoacizA. Quermax, Oa., Aug. 12.0, 18137. Editor Quitman Banner: In your issue of the oth you were pleased to call ettention to a rumor that I had an nounced myself as a candidate for Congress at the next election. Your paragraph was not authorized by anything , I said on the subject ; but, premature as it wits, I am not disposed to complain, or deny the fact that I then hed and still have a purpose to make the issue fairly and squarely with those who are playing upon the negro element, and who would make him the instrument of se• curing for themselves place end. power in the present appalling programme of despo tism, anarchy and ruin. I am not ambitious for the notoriety of a candidacy for Congress, nor would I con sider myself elevated ton post of honor were I elected to a seat in the present Congress; but considerations of the gravest moment to nay own race, and to the country at large, impel me to the conviction that the surest remedy for Radical evils is for the South to return colored representatives, in prefer ence to strengthening the Radical vote by sending any of their white representatives at present among us. I am sufficiently posted in the political affairs of this country to know that it is utterly impossible for any white titan front the excluded States, who has any claims to respectability, intelli gence or atatesmanship, to obtain a seat in either House of Congress. The patriotism, intelligence mid virtue of the white race at the South are ostracized; the great intel lects of the country are under the ball of Radical proscription ; and the descendants of the fathers of the Republicand the cham pions of constitutional liberty, are no ion • ger permitted to bring to the councils of the nation the inspiration they derive from the hallowed memories, patriotic teachings and immortal virtues of their great and glo rious ancestry. This proacription aflords the most conclusive evidence of a deter mined purpose on the part of the dominant party to suppress truth, and to employ such instruments only as are capable of being used fur the propogation of error and the perpetuation of party ascendancy. There is nothing more certain than that there can be no reconstruction under exist ing legislation except on the Radical basis, and by the entire radicalization oldie South ern States, which, in my humble judgment, means nnarchv, war, and the early destruc tion of the colored race on this continent. Of course ruin will result to the white race, and the whole country must suffer untold evils in the sequel ofour destruction. It is, therefore, the duty of every honest man at the South, black and white, to look this ques tion squarely in the face, and, if posible, avert the impending ruin. It is not improbable that colored dele gates to Congress will be rejected, but it is folly to ignore, or blink the fact, that we now limn a part and parcel of the political machinery of the government, and the cor relative right of holding office is an inher ent part of the American system, and must follow, as the night to day, the right to vole. These are the paramount attributes of citizenship in as republican government, and especially so in America. The fran chise has been conferred upon my race, either as a matter of right, or for the pur pose of using us as instruments to carry out the schemes of the Radical:party, and oppressing the white people of the South. I do not believe it was bestowed in love, or upon consideration of right; and the means employed to control our action verifies this conclusion. 'We are expected, aye, required to coirsort and co-operate with three classes of persons in carrying, out the reconstruc tion measures, and to promoting to office individuals who are tolerated by the Radi cals themselves, only because they are capable of doing the dirty work, the less vile refuse to do. We are not permitted to heed the counsels of the wise and good of our own land, either in matters af fecting our own domestic welfare, or the good or the country at large; but a more nauseating feast is prepared for our diges tion, amid we are nor only affectionately led up to the high carnival, but ruenacingly instructed and impertinently commanded to drain up each cup to the dregs, and to swallow down all the ingredients of the Radical cauldron. We are not expected to have opinions of our own, or to indulge the poor privilege of free and unrestrained exercise of the suffrage bestowed upon us. Empowered to vote, we cannot be voted for ; urged on to the exercise of the most import ant and most sacred privilege of citizenship, we learn from the very zeal of those who au eagerly clamor for our suffrage that their vaunted friendship is but another name for self-interest, and party trickery—that the vote! The vote!' is the charm that tunes their harp of a thousand strings, and that secured, the music and the dancing, and the sweet-meats Of the festival, will be exclu sively appropriated, while the voter will be politely informed that his serrates can be dispensed with until t4e next election. And with whom ar we so earnestly and so cordially pressed to participate? I have said that there are there classes. First we are supposed to be base enough to stoop to a slimy association with regard to renegade rebels, who in ratil were blatant and ram pant ! Yankee-eating secessionists, who in the hour of their country's peril deserted her standard, and who, by way of excuse for their infamous conduct, drifted into what was then termed toryism, and now side with the Radicals because, like Bene dict Arnold, they have no friends on the other side. The second class is composed of that lower stratum of society which is turned to the surface, only when violent commotions throw up the filth they feed on —the spawn of humanity, that never bad a thought, a principle, a country or a God, and who are only useful to the Catalines and Robespierres of civil revolutions, as so many noisy machines to throw up hats and shout huzza. Such were the fellows that found refuge from enrolling officers in the Southern swamps. Too cowardly to fight under the Stars and Bars, they are found fit and worthy tools for the persecution of the disarmed and defenceless, and admira -1 ble gas-pipes to hiss out hosannas to the vulgar vanity of their sort from the moun tains of the victor. The third class of our would-be co-partners in the business of re construction, are the scrapings of a ground swell of New England fungi; and from the specimens that have come South to grow respectable on the "Nigger vote," and get rich by picking up little things, such as spoons and the like' I aM very much in clined to the opinion that a most harmonious and lasting brotherhood may be established between them and class No. 2. Such indi viduals in the days of slavery, would have been kicked out of the meanest darkey's cabin in the slave States, and it is to-day an undeniable fact that their status is far below the standard of respectability, even among the colored people they have suc ceeded thus far inposing upon. Too low, and mean, and contemptible at home to be entrusted with any office df honor, trust, or profit, they are here to offer their pa triotic (?) services and virtuous (!) example for our moral elevation and political ad vancement; and supposing the negro to be at least, a little bit lower in the scale of hu- " where manity than themselves, they come with the confident expectation and impudent boastfulness that &mho and Simon, Peter and Pollux,, and all the rest of us smallfry darkies, will at once see in their august personages the veritable champions of our freedom, and fly on the wings of gratitude and love to glorify and reward them—at the polls—for their manly "hair-breadth 'stapes in the imminent deadly breach" while bleeding and dying to set us free. They know that we are in the alphabet of and their object is to take advantage of our general ignorance and universal credulity; and by pandering to our evil passions, and the vices incident to ignorance among all races, they expect to alienate us from the only true friends we have on the habitable globe, and array us in political and deadly strife against our former masters and pro tectors. Such are the three classes who, we are told, are to be our future friends and legis lators, and with whom it is said by Radi calism, it is our duty to unite In a political organization for the reconstruction of the South. May the gods forbid it! If the black race of the South have neither the virtue nor the intelligence to feel thewound, surely they have pride enough to rouse some feelings of resentment to the deep and damnable insult conveyed In the pro gramme that names them as the fourth class in the catalogue of infamy. If the colored man is worthy of and en titled to the elective franchise, It Is very clear that he is also entitled to a place in politics in proportion to the number he brings to the support of the successful party; but it is not upon this self-evident proposi tion that I now announce my determination to test Radicalism to the very core on the question of mixture of races in the halls of the National Legislature. Neither I, nor my colored friends, nor the intelligent right-thinking white men of this 'country, are willing to trust their honor or interests in the hands of any one of the three classes referred to; they and I believe it is far preferable to select some reliable colored man, and meet the issue at once and direct ly in the only way it can be done under the reconstruction measures. For those, and many other reasons, Mr. Editor, I have at the solicitation of many gentlemen of both races, consented to the use of my name ; and though it is now be fore the country, toy ambition is not at all over-weaning, and Isbell cheerfully counsel with my friends throughout the District as to the plan of the campaign, the most available candidate, it c., and will most gladly yield the field to a better selection. I am, sir, very respectfully your obedi ent. servant. JAMES P. FICKLINO. Specinl Correspondence of the Chic. Trlbunt..l OMAHA, NObrilSELl, August 22. TILE SIGHT BETWEEN THE CHEYENNES AND En= An Interesting report of the tight between the Pawnee scouts and the Cheyennes is received and published hero to-day. From this It seems that Colonel Dodge, of the 30th Infantry, was stationed with a body of troops at Willow Island Station, on the Union:Pacitia Railroad, having also under his control a company of the Pawnees, at lum Crook. On the south side of the Platte, opposite Plum Creek Station, is a telegraph station on the old California line, which was guarded by n pat ty of soldiers from Fort McPherson. During the morn ing of the day of the tight, Colonel Dodge had information from Fort McPherson that the telegraph line on the south side of the river had been interrupted by a party oi Indians near Plum Creek. Ile at once or dered Major North, commanding the Paw nees, to send out a force to look after the perpetrators of the act. Maj. North started Lieutenant Davis and twenty men across the river, and very soon had information that he was driven back by a large body of Indians, who had already destroyed seve ral miles of the line, and were apparently having things entirely their own way. In a few minutes he had his entire command across the river, and making for the Indi ans, who In perfect confidence had quietly gone into camp on the main road near Plum Creek. These last, on discovering Major North's Pawnees, only fifty strong, and supposing them to be white men, boldly and coolly advanced to attack him. The Major immediately ordered the charge, and the Cheyennes soon discovering their mis• take, fled with wild cries of " Pawnees ! Pawnees !"—the latter in close pursuit. The Pawnees pushed them so close that they soon had 10 abandon all their led animals, of which they bad a number, and all their extra weight of blankets, saddles, A:c., cont pulling thorn to stop and fight. In this they were overmatched, in arms and lighting qualities, and a running fight was kept up till darkness closed down and stopped It. The Pawnees, who, though in the service of the Government, still retain their old customs and method of fighting, returned about midnight with sixteen scalps, be tween thirty or forty mules and an immense number of blankets arid other impediments dropped by the Cheyennes in their hasty flight, besides n squaw and a boy about 1:1 years old, captured and brought in un harmed, General Augur's rigid orders for bidding them from harming prisoners, as was formerly their custom. The Indians who had attacked proved to be a party of Cheyennes, about a hUndred strong, with some few ligatallith Sioux and Arapahoes, who, from the statement of the boy and the squaw, had come over from "Turkey Foot's" camp on the Republican, to attack and plunder a passenger train, evidently emboldened to this by their suc cess of a few weeks since, and tempted by the hope of more plunder, of which they got a large amount on that occasion. From the body of one of the Cheyennes killed was taken a pocket book which was recognized as belonging to one of the train 1111211 who had been killed in the previous attack. The whole affair was a signal and brilliant suc cess for the Pawnees, and a very severe blow to the Cheyennes, and-no doubt it will have a most salutary effect in checking fu ture attempts on trains on the railroad. Mr. Porter, who has just reached here from Fort Phil. Kearney, brings further de tails from the fight of the 2d of August near that post. Porter's train, employed at the fort in hauling wood, had gone out, early in the morning to cut and bring in wood, under escort of some thirty or forty soldiers under Major Power, of the Twenty-seventh Infan try, and having besides some fifty citizens, teamsters, wood choppers, ,t c., all were armed, and most of them old mountain men. For several days previous, Indians in small bands had been hovering around the post, and committing some small depre dations. After reaching the forest the wa gon bodies were taken from the wagons (to use the latter for hauling logs) and piled up in a sort of circular corral, a species of de fence well known to the frontiersman. They had hardly scattered to their work when they found themselves surround and at- tacked by an immense body of Indians, whose numbers could only be guessed at, but may be imagined when it is known that the coolest and most experienced of the men who saw them estimates them at from fifteen hundred to two thousand, and say that for three hours and a half, while the fight lasted, the woods swarmed with them on all sides. The whole party, wood choppers, teamsters and escorts retreated rapidly to their wagon body corral, but the corral being toosmall to hold them all, some had to fight from the outside. The Indians boldly charged upon them, but were receiv ed with such a withering fire that they retreated to reform and renew the attack with more caution. The little band were not to be the easy prey they had counted on. The Indians now dismounted, and, stripping, to the breech clout, made another most determined and persistent charge on the corral. Againthey got such a hot reception from thebreech-loading rifles of the troops, and the Spencers and Henrys of the citizens, that they re treated in confusion, some of them having been left dead within thirty or forty feet of the corral. Taught by this severe experience, they now began the attack in a different way. Entirely surrounding the corral, and advancing as close as they dared, taking shelter behind trees, and advantages of the ground, theypoured in a heavy and unremitting fire from rifles, shot guns and bows, until it seomed that nothing could live under Its concentrated fierceness. But the devoted little band now lust over the first nervous tremor and ex eitement of the attack and well and skill fully handled by Mr. Powell, were equal to their almost superhuman task. With a cool ness equal to that of the Indians, and a skill in the use of their arms far superior to theirs, they lay behind the shelter of the wagon bodies and ox-yokes, making their breech loaders tell:fearfully on every Indian who show d himself, and wasting no am munition wild shots where they would not count. dian after Indian fell under their accurate fire, only to be replaced by others from the numbers swarming around, and thus for three hours and a half the fight continued desperately and against over whelming odds, until Colonel Smith, with two more companies and a howitzer, arrived and gave welcome relief to the brave men who had so well fought in this unequal con test. Upon Colonel Smith's arrival the Indians retreated, carrying with them all their dead and wounded, except five or six, who had fallen so close to the corral that they could not get their bodies. The Fantastical companies or Philadel phia have been burlesquing the reception ceremonies so current at present among fire companies. Frigtitftil Incident. In Hemlock, Pa., a woman layvery sick. A few days ago, in the day time, the watch ers returning to the room after a temporary absence, were horrified to find a huge snake coiled on the pillow of the sick woman, and very near the head. The woman was asleep. What to do was the question of ter rible import recommended to the watchers. The woman was weak from illness, and any sudden excitement might kill her. It was therefore unsafe to attack the snake while she was asleep, because an excitement would thereby be communicated to the sys tem which might proye fatal ; while, for a' like reason, it was thought equally unsafe to wake her up to a realization of danger menacing her. The question, in all its ter rible bearings, was discussed by the watch ers in a moment, while their blood ran cold, and it was decided to maintain a masterly inactivity. If the woman remained asleep and motionless, she might escape. There was a chance that the reptile might with draw without doing any harm. After a few minutes, which seemed like hours to the lookers•on, the slimy thing moved—tiret one fold, then another—it slid from the bed to the floor, it crawled rapidly through the room and hull, and out into the garden. It was then killed. The woman slept calmly throughout the trying scene, and was spared an experience, the recital whereof is enough to blanch the cheek and cause the blood to curdle. Awful Railroad Casualty As the lowa Central railroad train was coming north, a few mornings since, when it had arrived near Freeport, the windows of the passenger cars, many of which had been opened to allow the ingress of the pure, fresh morning air, suddenly and simultaneously came down with a startling crash. This was occasioned by the influx of a peculiar and unenduring odor, almost suffocating the passengers by its pungency. The occasion of this was afterwards ex- planted by the conductor of the train. It seems that a lively little animal, noted for its offensive breath, popularly known as a skunk, taking an early walk for exercise, had found itself upon the railroad track just as the Wall was approaching. Mr. Skunk mounted ono of the rails, and with the eye of agoneral surveyed the advancing foe The odds were excessive, but he de termined to stand his ground. The ponder ous engine approached, and the skunk marshaled his batteries for the coming battle, bringing into requisition his natural rind only means of defense. Nearer and nearer came the locomotive, while with steady eye and w(311-balanced tail, the assailed made ready, took aim, and—tired! Heavens, what a perfume floated on the morning air! No one but a passenger upon that train could imagine. Ills skunk ship had fought well but not wisely; an other moment and the remorseless wheels of half a dozen cars had passed over hint, and nothing was lett of the brave defender of his natural rights but an infernal stink ! gugal Botiregi.
