From Dickens' All iho Year Boniid,
A TRITE STOBY oyJirmENT
Loco
During the summer of the most dis
astrous and doubtful year of thalitte
American war, the colonel Of a New
Hampshire regiment lay for some'
weeks extremely ill of camp fever,
near Hampton Roads in . Virginia.
Hearing of his critical condition, his
wife left her Northern home, and, af
ter much difficulty, made her way to
his bedside. Her cheerful presence
and careful nursing. so 'far restored
him that he was in a short time able
to be transferred to Washington.
In the Potomac river the steamer
in which the invalid officer, CoL Scott,
and his family, had taken passage,
was sunk, in a collision with a large
vessel, in thy night time. The crew
ant} nearly all the soldieis on board
were rescued or saved themselves;
but amid the horrible confusion of
the scene Colonel Scott became sepa
rated from his wife, and she was lost.
The Colonel was picked up in the wa-,,
ter by the crew of the larger steam
er, and under his direction every ef
fort was made to discover his wife.
or rather her body, for all hope of
finding her alive was 'soon abandon
ed. The sad search was fruitless; it
was resumed in the morning, the peo
ple along the shore,.humane Confed
erates, lending their aid. But the
gray, sullen river refused to give up
its dead, and the young officer, half
frantic with grief, was compelled to
go to Washington. Within a week,
however, he received word that the
.body had been washed on shore; that
those good country people, generous
foes, had secured it, cared for it, and
were keeping it for him.
_.lt happened that just at-that tune
imperative orders were issued from
the War 'Department prohibiting all
intercourse with the peninsula—a
necessary precaution against the'pre
torture disclosure of important mili
tary plans. So it was with some mis
givings that Colonel Scott applied to
Mr. Secretary Stanton for leave to
return to Virginia- on his melancholy
•
duty.
" Impossible, Colonel," replied Mr.
Stanton; "no one can have leave to
go down the river, at this time, on
any private mission whatever. Our
present exigencies demand the most
stringent regulations, and I hope I
need not say to you that no merely
personal considerations should be al
lowed to interfere with the national
interests. Your case is a sad one,
but this is a critical, perilous, cruel
time. The dead must bury the dead."
The Colonel would have entreated,
but the busy Secretary cut him short
with another- "impossible," from
which there was absolutely no appeal.
He went forth from the presence, and
returned to his hotel quite over
whelmed.
Fortunately, he was that afternoon
visited by a-friend, to whom he told
the story of his unsuccessful applica
tion and sad perplexity, and who im
mediately exclaimed, " Why not ap
ply to.the President?"
The Colonel had but little hope,
but acknowledging that the plan was
'worth trying, drove to the White
House.
They were too late. It was Satur
day evening, and Mr. Lincoln had
gone to spend Sunday •at Soldiers'
Rest, his summer retreat. This was
but a few miles from town, and the
Colonel's indomitable friend propos
ed that they should follow him out,
and they went. 'There was then a
wpular belief that . all the wronged,
and troubled, and suffering could find
a refuge in . " Father A.braham's capa
cious bosom;" a belief that was not
far out of the way. Yet there were
times when, overburdened, wearied,
'tortured, the patriarch longed to clear
that asylum of its forlorn inmates, to
bolt and bar and double lock it against
the world; times when life became
too hard and perplexing for his ge
nial, honest nature, too serious and
&rigid and rascally a thing by hall
It happened, unluckily, that the
poor Colonel and his friend found
the President in one of his most des
pondent and disgusted;moods. He
was in hie little pnvate parlor, alone
in the • gloaming. He was lounging
loosely in a lilrge rocking chair, jut.
ting over it in all directions. His
slippered feet were exalted, his rough

The good man came forward, pale

saying, "I treated yen .brutally last

"This is very good, of you, Mr. -
President," said the Colonel, deeply
moved.
No, it isn't; but that • was very
bad of me, lieit night. I never should
have forgiven myself if I bad let that
piece of ugly work stand. That was
a noble wife of 'prim, ColoneL , You
were a happy man to have such a no

be a good fellow, or such a woman
would never have risked so much for
you. And what grand women there ,
are in these times, Colonel! Whit
angels of devotion and mercy, and
how brave and plucky l---going every
where at the mil of duty, facing every
'danger ! I tell you, if it were not for
;the women, we should all go. to , the
devil, and should deserve to. They
are the salvation of the nation. Now,
come, Colonel; my carriage is, at the
door. I'll drive you to the War De ,
partment, and we'll see Stanton about
this matter."
Even at that early hour, they found
the Secretary at his posE. The Presi-,
dent pleaded the ease of Colonel ;
Scott, and not only , requested that
leave of absence should be given him,
but that a steamer should - be sent
down the river expressly 'to bring up
the body of his wife. "Huthanity,
Mr. Stanton," said" the Piesident, his
homely face transfigured with the
glow of earnest, tender feeling, "hu
manity should overrule considera
tions of policy, and even itilltairy ne
cessity, in matters like this.
The Secretary was touched, and he
said something of his regret at not
having felt himself at liberty to grant
Colonel. Scott's request' in the first
place. _ _ _
"No, no, Mr. Stanton," raid the
President; "you did right in adher

Of course the " impossible " was
accomplished..
To the sort:wise of the Colonel, the
President insisted on driving to
the navy yard, to see that the Beare

fear that some obstacle might be
thrown in the way of the piims expe

nom TOVEGOTOWN, I OEIO..
I . ,: Din. Emma ' ' : . Thinking that a com
innulicatiot from one of your town
boyemiiy,ht interest some of your sub
;iicribers, I am .constrained to gips
you te, short sketch of this (part of the
- 4 . country, in which I am now residing,
an d aiso to ape* of some other mat
ter? of interest. And firs of all, let
me gay that this place,,a ut which
i .O
I am to Write, is the city . f Youngs
town, situated in the eastern part : ;of
the State of Ohio, about midway be
tiveen the city of Pittsburg, Penney'.
' 4 vania, and-the city of Cleveland, Ohio,
andlying in the valley of the 3la-,
honing River. The place is very fine=
ly adapted, by its natural surround•
tugs and geographical position, to
that business whicliengages the great
er part of its capital, as well . as fur
nishing very constant employment
and means of sustenance to a larger
proportion of its inhabitants. 'That
busmess, which consists in the manu
facture of pig and bar iron from the
ore, is, as all are well aware, a very
laborious / but generally quite lucra
tive one./ The ore used here is most
ly Remind from the Lake Superior
mines, as they are called (although I
believe the ore is not fished old of the
lair, but mined along the shores);,
native ore being sometimes melted
with the Superior,-though the iron
manufactured from the native is of a
somewhat inferior quality.
Some may wonder why ore is ship
ped to a distant place like this, in
stead of being smelted at the mines.
The reason is this: the coal found in
this locality, in almost inexhaustible
quantities, is of .the best possible
quality for the manufacture of -iron,
and the facilities afforded in such a
- coal region will more than pay all the
extra freight bills and contingent ex
penses arising.oven from so distant a
riliipment of ore. I have heard it re
peatedly stated, that this city was
'second to none in this country for the
advantages it offers, either to those
wishing to engage in manufacturing,
or to 'those wishing to invest ipital;
and I believe this to be especially
true, as far as the manufacture of iron
,is concerned. The growth of this
place has been quite rapid—fot jI am
told that only a few years since it was
but - ti,mere hamlet, and that 'since
that time it has reached its present
dimensions and importance only by
the facilities it has been' sound to pos
sess.
.The population is variously es
timated at from twelve to fourteen
thousand, and 'the number is con
stantly increasing, Foreign capital
is quite largely represented here, and
will undoubtedly be far more so; as
soon as the railroad commimicatione
become more perfect, which is looked
forward to as being at no distant day:
All the people are ready to pray for ,
railroad projects, and I, for one, even
with my limited experience of 'the
now imperfect connection and the
disagreeably rough and dangerow'
railroads maintained by the monopo
lists, can 'say - "God help" and "amen"
to every such prayer. For fear that
some of you ,might be impressed into
thinking that the I,7round around thip
part of the country is as mountain= -
ens as the mining districts in Penn
sylvania, it is well to say - that the coal
in this section, instead of being post
ed upon the tops of mountains, where,
were it not for the avarice of man,
only the wild deer would be found
and the stray winds blow, is content
to be the supporting strata of beau
tiful green valleys and gentle andu-•
bilious whi . we fall "hills,' : though
you wo; a6 „ : ,, ..y give them the digni
fied ti ''.."=Tr inagnfletuit little "knolls."
To say that thip city equaled some
of the more eastern towns in neat
ness and arrangement—for -instance,
that little model Elmira—would" be .
giving quite a wide latitude to truth;
but for business 6tterprise and wealth
it far outranks any of them in pro
portion to the number of its inhabi
tants, who, to- a' large extent, are for
eigners, but mostly steady and indus
trious; and unlike those g e ; m e more
rn
easte towns , they are nblicans,
and bent 'on the re-election' of Gov.
Hayes. ' • i '
And now, before I had thought of
such a thing as politics, I find myself
right handy. The approaching elec
tion is the 011-absorbing theme of
conversation; but as my stay here in'
Ohio has been short, I am as yet illy
prepared to interest you by anything
I might have to gay on tins subject;
therefore, with the promise that you
will hear from me on that score ere
long, I am Yours truly,

cers, znay have an effect beyond State
Amite; and exercise ' an'important in
fluence hereafteir'on the politics and
desSny of the nation.
Arrayed against us, and endeavor
ing to secure your votes for its candi
dates, is the same- Democratic party
which was overwhelmingly repudiated
byAhe people at the last Prdential
election. It has changed none of :its
pribeiples and , refouned none of, its
practices ; but is as odious , to-day- to
all loyal men as it has been heretofore.'
Its Southern wing caused therebellion
and stroveby armed force to re nd in
twain that glorious Union which wia
cemented by. the blood of our fathers,
Its Northern wing gave all the sym
pathy, aid and comfort to the. rebell
ion that it dare, by resolutions in its
State and National Conventions, and
by the votes of its members in our
State and National. Legislattinis a
gainst all propositions and bills Offered
by loyal men, tending to strengthen
the arm of the National Government
in its efforts to crash the rebellion.
That party caused the exPenditure of
four thousand millions of dollar's (4,-
000,000,000) of the public money, and
is the guilty author of the heavydebt
that is now pressing down the nation
al industry. It is answerable for the
blood of half a million of loyal men,.
sacrificed in the effort to crush out
its wickedness, and for the wounds
and misery of hundreds of thousand s .
more. It is responsible for.the suff
erings and poverty of the wives made
widows, and the children made or
phans at Democratic hands.
.. In its National Convention the
Northern wing permitted the South
ern rebel to dictate the National Dem
ocratic platform and policy, and has
again taken to its arms the men whose
hands are not yet cleansed of the
blood of Northern patriots.
That party is in favor of free trade
in commerce as fully now as when its
Vice President Dallas gave the cast
ing vote against American industry
more than twenty years ago.
It favors practical repudiation of
the national debt, by paying off inter
est bearing bonds, redeemable in gold,
with irredeemable notes, bearing no
interest • and which from their excess
would b ecome as 'worthless as Conti
nental paper.
It represents as its candidate for
Governor a man thoroughly impreg
nanted with all those abominable
heresies ; who, though rich beyond
necessities and wants of any reasona
bleman, evades by disingenuous shifts
and artifices the payment of his taxes,
and throws upon the relit of the peo
ple of the State that share of the bur
dens of the State which he is legally
bound to bear. If he should be un
fortunately elected, he will be as clay
in the hands of the potter.
In the hands of that unscrupulous
set of men, too well known to the
State and nation as the " coffee-pot
Democracy,"_ who have so persistently
endeavored for the few years, by
wholesale fraudulent election returns,
to - destroy the value of the elective
franchise, it presents as its candidate
for the highest judicial office, a qn
tleman" unknown to his profession,
and whose limited experience renders
him unable to grapple with the great
questions that are continually presen
ted to our Supreme Court.
Such men surely are not entitled
to the support of loyal and intelligent
freemen.
On' he other hand, we assert that
tke Republican party is the party of
loyalty, of devotion to the Union, and_
to the rights of all men.
It Stood by the Government. in the.
lionr of \ its great extremity.
Its'yonng men went to the battle-.
tield'unclA4lered up-their lives in cle
l'ene of thOntegrity of the Union,
while its opponents stayed at 'home
and rejoiced i rebel victories.
Its capitalists *when the credit of
the Government sa lowest, offered
up their wealth to pport our arm
ies in the field, and te provide hospi
tals for the sick and wounded.,
It has:voted bounties for the sol
diers, and provided pensions for the
disabled for-the widows and or
phans of the patriot dead; and is now

Regarding the plighted faith of the
Government as the most sacred of
obligations, it has determined that
the debt of the nation, except chore
otherwise agreed upon, shall be paid
in gold to the last dollar.' .
In the National Administration, it
has redeemed its pledges to the Teo
ple,.by dismissing, useless officehold
ers, by reducing the number and 'ex
pense of the army, and by paying off
in the first six months of its exis
tence, fifty millions of dollars of the
national debt, caused by the Democ
racy; and with the prospect of pay
ing off five hundred millions thereof
during Grant's administration.
Whilst in the State administration,
under the skillful management of
Governor Geary, it has paid off five•
millions of dollarS of our State in
debtedness; and has relieved the peo
ple from all taxation on real estate
for State purposes.

ADVICE TO YOUNG HEN.
• It, is easier to be a "good business
tnantthan a poor one.. Eralf the en
ergy displayed in keeping ahead that
'is required to catch up when behind,
will save credit, give more time to bu
siness, and add to to the profit and
reputation of your word. Honor your
engagements: If you promise to
meet it man, or do a certain-thing at
a certain moment, be ready at the ap
pointed time. If you have work to
do, do it cheerfully, and therefore
more speedily mid correctly. If you
go out on business, attend' promptly
to the matter on hand, and then as
promptly go abontyonr own business.
Do not stop to tell stories in bneiness
If you have a place of business, be
found there when wanted. No limn
can get rich by sitting around stores
and saloons. Never "fool" on busi
ness matters. If you have to labor
•for a living, remember that one hour
in the morning is better than two at
night. If you employ others, be on
hand to see that they attend to their
duties, and , direct with regularity,
promptnesEUand liberality. Do not
-meddle witli" any business you know
nothineof.• Never buy an article sim
ply because the man who sells it will
take it out, in trade. Trade is 'mon
ey. Time is money. - A good busi
ness habit and reputation is always
money. Make your place of business
pleasant and attractive; then stay
there to wait on customers.
Never use quick words, nor allow
yourself to make hasty nor ungentle
manly remarks to those in your em
ploy; to do so, lessens their respect
for you and your influence over them.
Help yourself, and others will; help
you. Be faithful over the interests
confided to your keeping, and all in
good time your responsibilities , will
be increased. Do not be in too great
haste to`. getrich. Do not.lmild un
til you have arranged and laid a good
foundation. Do_not,—as you hope to
work for success—spend time in idle
ness. If your time tis your own, bu
siness will suffer if yon do. If it is
given to another for pay, it belongs
to him, and you have no more, right
to steal,it than i o stela money. Be
obliging. Strive to avoid harsh words
and personalities. Do not kick eve
-17 stone in the path; more miles can
be made in day by going steadily
on than by stopping to kick.. Pay as
you go. A man of honor respects his
word as he does his bond. Ask, but
never beg. Helji Others when you
can, but never give when you cannot
afford to; simply because it is fashion
able. Learn to say no. No necessi-•
ty of snapping it out dog Sushi,:in, but
say it firmly and respectfully.
Have but feir confidants , and the •
fewer the better. Vie your own
brains rather .than those of Others.
Learn to tlAnk and act for yourself.
Be valliant: . Heerkahead, rather than
behind time.
Young man; -- ent. this eut; and if
there is folly in theUrgunient, let us
know.

To triumph over the rebellion, the
&publican party had to triumph
over -the demoeratih party- at the-
North and over slavery; and it was a
triple triuniph. It Makes the heart
of a trite . Reimblica i

reflects that there s not now a slave
in all eur borders, and that the foul
blotwhich.oo long disgraced our na
tionali esentcheen has been wiped out
forever: and' that this was the work.
,of the 'Republican party; and that
now there is not andy no slavery, but
there are equal rights for all—equal
protection for all; and that soon there
will be universal suffrage and politic
al rights for all; and that our &pub
lk then realize the grand vision
of perfection and greatness which
presented itself te the eyes of our fa
thers.
And the work bi the Republican
party is not yet ended; its tension is
not` finished. The . work of recon
struction is not • completed, and
though ikis progressing well, with 'ev
ery assurance of the most hiVorable
reitdts, yet it would be absurd to
turn it over in its unfinished state in
to The hands of the enemies, who
would at the last moment. if they had
the power,. destroy all that has been
done, and throw the Country back in
to the bloody chaos from which it
has just escaped. There are reforms
to be accomplished, imperfections to
be removed, and improvements to be
made in our grand politiCal system,
and it is proper that the: Republicrin
party, which has so gloriously beg-in
the work, should go on .to its com
pletion.
