A Holiday in Syria, APPEARANCE OP A TURKISH DANDY—RIDICULOUS DRESSES OP THE CHILDREN. Beirut, Syria, May 4.1861.—N0w that the noisy festival of Khamadan. and the succeeding one of Beiram, are ov:sr, our town is settled into a quiet, exceedingly agreeable to the Frank population, after bo long enduring the booming of camion, suffo cating v clouds of dust raised by boisterous crowds of Moslem revellers, And evidences of even a more dis agreeable character, of a fanaticism which seems to receive a fresh impulgo from these their so-called “holy feast.” The latter, inasmuch as it imme diately follows their dismal fast of thirty days, which they are no doubt glad to got rid of, is a time of great rejoicing, and every Oriental town in which dwell the Faithful, is completely transformed by the ushering in of these three gala days. Notwithstanding a warning word to the effect that I would be suffocated with dust, trampled Upon, or knocked over, I wended my way through the riotous orowds who had turned out in holiday dress—my curiosity overcame my prudence, and with the escort of a trusty Arab servant, I ventured to pass through the square which was the principal scene of festivities. Before entering the square, the streets wore not so thronged as I expected, and I had the better opportunity of seeing young Turkish lord as he passed on a gayly caparisoned mule. I have often noticed him as being a type of the Turkish dandy, and on this occasion I was more than ever decided in my conclusions. His little fez cap was of that fashionable color which is a matter of some import ance among the Turks, and it was also perched very jnuntily on a head of flowing hair which his sister might be proud to own. Add to this a waist which must have gone through a most trying process of lacing to have reduced it to its pre sent diminutive proportions, set off by a Turkish uniform coat with richly wrought * patches of gold, embroidory, and an air affecting languor and nonchalance, and it may be imagined the tout ensemble was one which could not fail of at tracting attention; and while, for my own part, I could not help smiling in derision, not unmingled with a feeling of regret nt the sort of training to which the children of his class arc subjected. I noticed that many saluted him with groat de ference. and the gaze bestowed upon hiui was one of unmistakable admiration. The little boy is about twelve years of age, and I have since learned is the son of a pasha. Further on. I met a little girl who might be his sister; and here I cannot but mention a peculiarity in the dress of Oriental chil dren which docs not exist in the Oecideut. Children in Syria dress precisely as grown people, and even the babies do not look like babies, beenuse their garments are cut in almost the same fashion as those of their parents. This little body, with a purple velvet cap and gold tassel, trailing robes of yellow satin, hands which, in the operation of dye ing, must have caused her ns much pain us that suf fered by the little Effcndi in the process of lacing, looked and bore herself a little Sultana, had she not been docked off by her fond mamma with an enor mous lace collar, quite large enough for her great grandmother. But thus it is in the East; the god dess Fashion receives a very questionable sort of ho mage, and ages pass without the idea once occurring to an Oriental that to be respectable and to escape the Anger of scorn, he must make an occasional al teration in the fashion of his dress. It seems very odd to see the order of things reversed, as it so fre quently is In this part of the world ; for while the diminutive waist of a Turkish EfFendi, or officer, occasionally gives undeniable evidence that he Is addicted to the habit of tight lacing, in the case of a lady you only see the loosest of jackets, and waists untouched even by the girdle, for that is never tightly drawn. lam rejoiced to say of our sex in these climes, that none, as far as I am aware, can be accused of the suicidal practice of tight lacing. I next came to a cafe, which was only a large enclosure with matting thrown across, casting a de lightful shade over idle groups seated on rough stools, contentedly sipping their coffee and smoking their ebroouques, pipes, and nnrghilehs, the first of brass, the next with stems of fragrant wood of an enormous length, and the last sometimes of plain glass, but more frequently beautifully moulded and stained, and always of a graceful shape. There they sat almost the livelong day. in their holiday dress and at their holiday pastimes,- watching the rapid rotations of the ;; merry-go-nroiuids.” great numbers of which had been erected on the square on the day before Biaram. But smoking the fragrant weed, which here has treble the fragrance it possesses elsewhere, and sipping their national beverage, can hardly be called essentially holiday employments, except in relation to a very small portion who work, and a smaller still who work hard. Whoever saw an Ori ental, except those of this latter class, who can exist, or at least 'who think they can exist one hour, without imbibing these two favorite articles ? The washerwoman would assoonneglcet to place by her side a supply of soap ns to fail to place prominent among her tubs the honored nnrghileh, and while she gently inhales and discharges from her withered blue lipsihe curling smoke, she, in an equally gentle manner, scrubs her clothes; for, be it known, the Orientals, however ferocious in gesture, however industrious in lying and cheating, when engaged in daily labor their movements are very gentle indeed. Although I have lived in the East for years, to this day X cannot help being amused at the leisure ly manner In which an Oriental disposes of Ins fin gan of coffee. His face betokens the seventh heaven of enjoyment, and to make as great a matter of a little thing ns possible, he mokes a great noise in the process of coaxing the beverage drop by drop into his mouth; between each sip he takes n puff at his pipe, and the time thus absorbed indisposing of the contents of this tiny cup, not so large as the smallest egg-cup, shows that lie lias a no tion of the value of the fleeting moments which we sc* dearly prize. There are not only coffee and pipes in this cafe, but sherberts. which arc held under a lump of ice by a dirty Arab boy who aetc in the capacity of waiter, while another scrapes a few particles of ‘the cooling Lebanon luxury into the tinted liquid. Puppet shows arc here exhibited at night, of which I know nothing except that in passing I have noticed the din, rather than music, of the horrible tamborinc and other musical instru ments; the glare of the torchlight ha? almost blinded me, and I have stopped a moment to watch the shadows of dancing figures appearing and van ishing in a moment's time. I hurried with all despatch through the square, and was glad at last to reach the :: Damascus road” and escape the din ot the merry-go-arounds.” the clouds of dust, and the incessant fear of receiving injury from the prancing steeds, numbers of which were being made to "stand almost perpendicularly in the air, to rear and plunge, ana. iu short, to da everything else calculated to frighten the crowds of women and children, among whom they were caused by their riders to dash out on a race, or, with lightning speed, to go through the movement of a sham fight. At last, by following eloso at the heels of my guide, who thus sustained the brunt of the difficulties in the way, I reached home in safety, but did not dare to communicate to my liege lord where X had been, for fear of a scolding for my im prudence.—• Correspondent Boston Traveller. Interesting Explorations in China. A number of gentlemen have lately made a tour of exploration to places in the kingdom of China never before visited by the Anglo-Saxon. The following brief account of the incidents of the jour ney will be found to possess considerable interest at the present time: An exploratory trip has just been completed through the province of Hunan, by gentlemen who arrived at Shanghac on the 20th ultimo, in one of the American ships of war from Ilankau! forty-six days eu route, a distance of 1.800 English miles, from Canton to Shanghac. The travellers, It. F. Thorburn, Esq., Dr. IV. Dickson, and the ltcv. Messrs. Beach and Bonney. left Canton on the 11th of April, in native boatsi with passports and other requisites for travelling through the interior provinces, their main object being to learn as much as possible of the country and its inhabitants. It will be seen, by reference to the maps of China, that the Tung-ting lake, the greatest in this empire, occupies a central position, so that the eiiy of Yohehau, near the Great river, at the mouth of the lake, is about equally distant from Canton and Shanghne, nearly due north from the first, and west by south from the latter city. Europeans have, in many instances, travelled over the Meiling Pass, through Kiangsi, across the Poyang lake, and on the Great river; but seldom, if ever before, have they taken the more westerly route through the province of Hunan. The whole trip was performed without any serious accident, or any interruption by imperialists or insurgents, the people and officers everywhere showing themselves civil and obliging, with one or two exceptions to be noticed in the sequel. Passing up westward from Canton, by Fahshan, the travellers took the north branch of the river, and ascended it till they crossed the northern fron tiers of the province and reached I-chang Hien. the first city in Ilunan on their route, a distance of 337 miles iu 19 days. From I-changfthey proceeded, by land, through a valley, to Chin Chau. 30 miles in two days; thence onward by river in boats, which brought them across the Tung-ting Lake, and down the Yangtsze to Hankau, 756 miles in'lS days. There they embarked on the Saginaw, and arrived here last Saturday evening. Up through the province of Canton the progress was slow, the boatmen rowing, or poling, or track ing nearly all the way against a strong current, and not unfrequently, in the upper part of their course, over rapids and through deep gorges. The face of the country was exceedingly diversified ; low and level and subject to the ebb and flow of tides at first, then hilly, and soon high and rugged. Here were to be seen rich and extensive fields of grain and the mulberry, there loftyridges of moun tains ; and almost everywhere villages, hamlets, or farmhouses, and occasionally brick-kilns, lime kilns, depots of salt, Ac. Some of the mountains were covered with forest trees, such as the pine, camphor, Ac. At one place they saw ox-carts currying coal from the mines to the river-side, where it was put in boats for Canton. Between the southern and northern watersheds, the travellers found the country, not high and rug ged, as might have been anticipated, and is at the Meiling Pass, hut low and smooth, and the road broad, flagged with large stone, and crowded with coolies and mules carrying merchandise. Their own party was increased by a score of chair-bear ers, and a still larger number of baggage-coolies. While on their land trip, some popular excitement was got up on two occasions: first, by a crowd of people pressing into their upper room at an inn, when the floor broke from under the intruders; and again as they were entering a hotel, at Chin Chau, when the soldiers and people came into col lision, and our travellers 11 thought it best to rest on their arms” for the night. Downward through the province of Hunan their progress was less slow and more easy than it had been on the southern declivity of the mountains. As they passed on to the north, marked changes were visible, both in the general aspect of the coun try and in the character of its inhabitants. The people seemed more “ tame” and of a smaller sta ture ; so the face of the country seemed less bold, and the products of the soil less luxuriant In stead of granite jmd limestone rocks pradomma ting, red sandstone was more abundant Goal was plentiful and very cheap; and as they advanced down the river, the Lai-kiang, cities, towns, and villages became more and more frequent and populous. Tea and hemp were among the grand Staples. From the time they took their lioats at Chin Chau, fourteen days brought the travellers to Yoh ehau, at the mouth of the Tung-ting lake, near the centre of Hu-kwaog, the two lake provinces, Hunan and Hupeh. These two provinces together have an area of more than 144,000 square miles, with a population, ten years ago, of more than 45,000,000; and though the one now traversed by the foreigners may be less fertile than the other, yet it is of greater ex tent. If Hupeh is the “granary of the Empire.” Hunan is not less rich in its natural products. Its mines possess gold, silver, nnd probably other metals, with abundance of coal; its quarries afford beautiful specimens of granite and marble; its high lands are well stocked with wild came; its lakes and rivers teem with waterfowl and fish, while its fruits and vegetables are not few nor of inferior qualities. The western part of tho province is in habited by independent mountaineers—the many and various tribes of Miautsz, “ children of the Soil,” or aborigines. How far the rivers of Hunna will be found prac ticable for steam-navigation is yot to be ascertained ; the great Tung-ting Lake, und many of the rivers that flow into it, will probably afford easy na vigation for boats of light draught. Through the whole trip, from Canton to \ohchau, no part of the country was found occupied by rebels; in many places, however, traces of their devastations were still visible in temples and altars of the pagan deities. Taking it all in all, the first journey through the southern, central, mid eastern parts of China Pro per. must be regarded as a good move in the right direction: and the gentlemen may well be con gratulated on account of their good success, which no doubt will stimulate others, not only to take the same course, but also to travel into regions beyond and to more remote yet not less-inviting regions of “the flowery land.’ * From the Coast of Africa. THE SLAVE TRADE EXCEEDINGLY ACTIVE, The royal mail steamship Ethiove , Captain French, has arrived at Liverpool with a month's later advices from the west coast of Africa, and 2,500 ounces of gold dust. Her Britannic Majesty’s ship Prometheus , Com mander Bedingflcld, senior officer of the south di vision, arrived at Fernando Poon the 27th of June, from the South, having been relieved by the Alecto, Commnndcr Baby, She reported the south coast very unhealthy. Several Europeans had died on tho Congo, at Fish Bay, and other places. The slave trade is still very brisk, and in conse quence legal trade dull; it was anticipated that some of the factories would have to close. Captain Bedingflcld had been in active eo-opora tion with tho American squadron, and had taken two vessels fitted for slaves in tho Congo river; also a Spanish schooner, the Jacinto. The Wrangler. R. N., had taken an American bark, supposed to be the Ardennes, with 495 slaves on board. The notorious slaver Storm King had come into Mango Grando with a legal cargo (Ame rican flag and papers), but bearing there were slaves to be had, pitched her cargo overboard, shipped a large number of slaves, and got away clear. The steamer General Miramon (formerly the Greenock) had shipped a cargo tit Kusinda in four hours, using American, Portuguese, and Spanish colors to suit the cruisers she happened to meet. Everything is done under the American flag until the slaves are actually on board, so that two or three English cruisers have very little chance to take prizes or check the trade. Prayer for the Army. Bishop Odcnhcimer of New Jersey, has directed the Episcopal clergy of that State to* recite the fol lowing prayer for our army, on the fast day ap pointed by the Presidenti “Oh. Almighty God. tho Sovereign Commander of all the world, to whom bclongcth power which none is able to withstand, we commend to Thy gra cious protection the persons of Thy servants, for whom our prayers are especially desired and who are enlisted* in the army of the United States, and the whole army in which they serve. Let Thy fatherly hand, we beseech Thee, be over them. Let Thy lloly Spirit ever be with them, and shield them by Tliy merciful providence in the dis charge 'of their duty. that, passing through alt temptations and perils, they may return to their homes, to enjoy the fruit of their toils, in tho resto ration of peace and the establishment of order and tranquillity amongst us. Protect and bless, 0 Lord, all the members of their households; assuage their fears, encourage their hearts, and comfort them with Thy grace and heavenly benediction under any afflictions Thou shall see fit to lay upon them. And grant that those Thy servants, and all of us, being duly impressed with a sense of Thy goodness towards us in the past, may hnve cause to bless Thy name for the continuance of Thy mercies to us, aiul may ever express our thankfulness by a holy trust in Thcc and obedience to Thy laws, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” The midnight Sharpshooters, Night before last the first experiments of the regiment known as the Calcium-light Sharpshoot ers. now being organized by Professor Grant at Weehawken, were made in the presence of a large number of spectators. A small imitation of a masked battery, where from amid a mass of green branches peered forth what seemed the muzzles of two guns, was the object of the evening’s hostilities, and, when night came on, the brilliant calcium light was thrown upon them, revealiug everything as by tfaylight, and they were riddled at leisure by the sharpshooters. Mr- J- G. Edge is to bo lieutenant colonel of this regiment, and will have under his command a corps of pyrotechnists armed with projectiles of the most destructive character, and of a kind hitherto en tirely unknown. Not the least important of tlieso Is an incendiary shell which will weigh but a few pounds, can be thrown accurately half a mile, forms, when fired, a ball of fire two feet in diameter, uncxtinguisbable without being immersed wholly In water, and is fired from a mortar weighing only twenty founds. It is believed that these will do an incalculably greater amount of damage than red-hot shot, as they burn so fiercely and east their blazing fragments in all directions Beside this advantage, they are so light that one man can carry a mortar and a4argc number of balls. Prof. Grant’s machinery will also be so portable that it may all be carried with out inconvenience by three men, who will hare each light in charge. The method of keeping the apparatus secure from the shots of the enemy it is thought not best to describe minutely at present.—- JV. 1". Tribune , yesterday. A Pirate Off Cape Ann. —Capt. Herrick, of the schooner Agricola, which arrived here from Ellsworlh last evening, reports that on the 25tli inst., twenty miles northeast from Cape Ann, at 7.30 P. M., was hailed by a fore-and-aft schooner, which threatened to fire unless he came to a stand still. The schooner ran alongside, and the captain came on board the Agricola. On being informed that her cargo was composed of wood and slabs, he appeared greatly disappointed. He asked about a vessel three or four miles to leeward, and, on being told that she was loaded with lumber, replied that he didn’t want any such freight. It was for this reason that the cargo of the Agricola was loft un touched. The captain of the pirate inquired |>ar ticularly if any sharp fishing vessels hau been seen within a few hours. As the latter vessel had over forty men en board, Captain Herrick thinks he wished to man another piratical craft with his sur plus crew. The “ bold robber of the seas ” evinced an inti mate knowledge of our coast, and requested to be reported as the Firefly, of Charleston, S. C. Capt. 11. says the vessel waa about 140 tons burden, and Baltimore built. Ifc was so dark that no name could bo seen on the stern. Commodore Hudson was made acquainted with the facts in regard to the strange vessel this forenoon. It may be. if she is a pirate, that some Northern traitor is her owner.— Boston Traveller , Tuesday. Tragedy in Franklin Parish, Louisiana. —The Louisiana Herald, published in Frankliu parish, gives the following account of a bloody tragedy which lately happened there: It seems there has been amisunderstanding existing between the parties, E. J. Pierce and M. P. Daily, for more than a year. Occasionally this feeling ef animosity was aroused by some new cause of provocation. Last Saturday, while the home guard was on pa rade in Boeuf prairie, Mr. Pierce demanded of Mr. Daily an explanation of a note written to him by Daily. Pierce being armed with a double-barreled shot-gun, Mr. Daily thought it unsafe to enter into an explanation without being similarly armed; he therefore procured a gun, and the parties started to the woods. Mr. Pierce being ton or twelve feet before, turned and fired, but fortunately for Daily, the entire charge was lodged in a tree by the side of which ho was standing. Mr. D. then levelled his gun at Pierce, hut it missed fire, whereupon Mr. Pierce fired tho second barrel, lodging the contents in the side of hi- antagonist, inflicting a mortal wound. While in the act of falling he (Daily) fired, killing Mr. Pierce instantly. Thus the two combatants lay on the ground, within ten feet of each other, one dead and the other suffering the most excru tiating pains, resulting in the lock-jnw, killing him in a short time. Ohio Democrats on the War, The Chardon (Ohio) Democrat furnishes the fol lowing brief synopsis of a speech recently delivered by the Hon. David Tod, one of the most distinguish ed Democrats of Ohio, and president of the Con vention which nominated Senator Douglas for the Presidency, delivered at a mcctiDg held at Little Mountain: He said he was for the war without qualification or compromise, and its vigorous prosecution until treason and rebellion should be utterly suppressed; and, if necessary, he was ready to sacrifice his last son, his last pig of iron, and ton of coal, and his last dollar in money, and then go to the war himself. Ho had strenuously opposed the election of Mr. Lincoln, yet he approved his war policy, and doubt ed whether even Gen. Jackson would do better in this crisis. He had but one word of advice to whis per in Mr. Lincoln's ear, and that was, that, when the rebellion should be suppressed, he would say to Jeff. Davis, “ You hang on that tree,” (pointing to one near by) and to Beauregard, “You hang on that,” (pointing to another) and to Wise, “ You hang wherever you ean find hemp.” Ho would have at least thirty of tho traitors suffer the penalty of death. ■ In regard to the recent Democratic State Con vention, Mr. Tod was very severe in his remarks. That Convention, he said, was made up of the cor ruption of the Democratic party, which was purer for being rid of it. He denounced its action in the strongest terms, as giving aid and comfort to tho enemy, and said, if it was right, then every Union soldier was a, murderer. He had one son in the war, and, said he, “ Can I denounce my own son as a murderer ?” Currency in the South. A correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer says: Gold and silver are now selling in tho Southern States at from ten to fifteen per cent, for current 1 hank hills. A sound and uniform currency is as es sential to the health and vigor of the Confederacy and the government as healthy red blood is to the power and endurance of the body. This thing of a depreciated currency is just now more to be feared than all of Lincoln?s legions. It is what ought not to be, and cannot bo submitted to by the Southern people. It is intolerable that the banks should be exempt by law from the obligation to re deem their currency in specie, and at the same time, sell the very gold and silver with which it ought to be redeemed for ten to fifteen per cent, in exchange for their own bills. Are these institutions really the friends of Lin coln? Just so soon as it appears that the banks are to be allowed to prey upon tho pooplo at this time, when they are loyally and patriotically pouring into the public treasury every dollar they can spare, and bravely looking debt and taxation in the face, wc shall find an abatement of seal and a dis content perilous to our groat cause. Whatever cir culates as money now must circulate at par, and if the bills of tho suspended banks are really de clining in value, and are, in fact, worth ten to fifteen per cent, less than gold, it is time to crush them out. If this evil should be allowed to progress, ws shall soon have universal bankruptcy. Gnat the money-changers out of our holy temple. Scourge them away from our patriotic altars. A Gift for Bully Bomba The German partisans of legitimacy have prepared a shield of honor for presentation to young jloinba. Its ma terial its massive silver. The figures of Signor and Signorina Bomba arc in relief on tho centre standing on a rock labelled “ Gaeta.” The King repulses his enemies (on the shield) with a drawn sword in one hand and the other patronizingly placed on the head of a Neapolitan soldier. A small brigade of cherubim.are skirmishing about in the air, with golden crowns, which, by and by, (very much so,) they will drop on the ex-loyal head. The rim of the shield blazes with gems. From Arizona. HOW POUT FILLMORE WAS SURRENDERED —MORE TREACHERY OF OUR OFFICERS Ex-Governor Greiner, who is now General Land Agent of New Mexico, writes to the Columbus Journal on the 4th : Wo have received startling news from the south ern portion of tho Territory, known a? Arazona. A party of Texans made an attack on the United States troops in the Mesilla Valley, on Thurs day of Inst week, and after one or two skirmishes, in which two lieutenants were se verely wounded, tho command retreated to Fort Fillmore, and its commander, Major Lynile, think ing himself unable to maintain his position, aban doned the fort, and by a hasty retreat, endeavored to reach Fort Stanton, 161 mflcs distant. Tho com mand, numbering 750 men, reached San Agustine Spring, in the Oregon mountains, a march of about 20 miles, when it was surroundod by the Texan horse, said to be only 300 strong. Major Lynde, without firing a gun, and without making a show of resistance, surrendered his whole force into tho hands of the enemy. This is not tho worst, Two companies from Forts Buchanan and Breckinridge, in tne western part of the Territory, iutondod as reinforcements for Fort Fillmore, with sixty Go vernment wagons, are supposed to be'on the road, and most sorious fears are apprehended that this de tachment will also be cut off. This will give the whole of the Mesilla Valley and Arizona into tho hands of the Texans. Fort Stanton is now threatened by the enemy, but as it is under the command of Colonel Roberts, a gallant officer, with seven companies of regulars, and is withal a strong position, it is not likely to be given up without somebody being seriously injured. A regiment of Mexicans under Colonel Pino, it is said, lias been ordered there for reinforcement. So you may expect before long to hear of lively times in this Territory. The first regiment of New Mexi can volunteers, under command of Colonel St. Vrain and Lieutenant Colonel Kit Carson, is now at Fort Union, nearly ready for the field. Sunday, August 5. The mail from Fort Craig has just arrived. Dr. Stcck comes in as a passenger, and verifies tho re port of the villainous conduct of Major Lynde. But little doubt exists that the whole affair, the abandonment of Fort Fillmore and the surrender of the men. was pre-arranged with Colonel Lauring, the former commander of this depart ment, when that officer traitorously left his post for the South. The men and wagons from Fort 3 Bu chanan and Breckinridge, on the routo to Fort Fillmore, are under the command of Lieutenant (now Captain) Moore, one of the best officers of tho army, and as he has been warned of his dangor, liis brother officers are sanguine that he will give a good account of himself. Fort Stanton is fortifying, and, Colonel Roberts will have no traitors. Major Lynde is a weak old man. He has been in the army forty; years, and though from Vermont, he has all his family connections in the South. All communication is now cut off between here and Arizona, and the Texan forces, five hundred of their own men and eighty Indians, hold that por tion of our Territory in undisputed possession. Hon. D. W. Stambaugh. of New Philadelphia Ohio, one of the most prominent Democrats of that State, and the candidate of the Democratic party last year for Attorney General, has written a letter to the Tuscarawas Advocate repelling slanders against him printed in a Democratic paper, in which he says: I well know that some leaders of the Democratic party, who love party and party strife more than their country, are very bitter because I cannot sa crifice my sense of duty to my country for party—• because 1 cannot consent to become a party to po litical strife, which would result in animosities that would result in the throwing of all conceivable ob stacles in the way of the National Administration, to hinder, and, if possible, prevent a speedy sup pression of treason and rebellion, and the vindica tion of our Government. In my judgment a united effort on the part of the Northern people is required to perpetuate'our Government; to extricate it from its present perilous condition, and I invite the attention of my Democratic brethren especially to the words of the immortal Douglas, declared in his great speech, on the Ist of May, in Chicago. Read it and ponder it well, •This poor party slave, “Q.” called Democrats who entertain these sentiments, so honestly declared by that great leader of our party, “weak-kneed, rene gade Democrats,” as if Democrats were slaves, to be driven, like cattle, by party masters who have but little brain ancl less heart. If there are any Democrats in this country who are slaves, they will, of course, walk up to headquarters, and re ceive their orders—and should the orders be to act the traitor toward our Government, they will obey or receive the stripes due disobedience. A 3 for myself, I shall save my country, judgment and conscience, regardless of consequences ; and I am glad to know that hundreds of thousands of De mocrats feel and act as I do on this great subject. When treason and rebellion is put down, our Go vernment vindicated, and the Stars and Stripes once more float over all the American soil, then will I aid the Democratic party in fighting its poli tical issues, but not till then. My country first— my party afterward. Shooting Affair at Catskill.— Several days ago. a man named Howard Selick told Messrs. Hall & Deyo, editors of the Catskill Democrat and lireorder, that he should stone tho office if they did not stop publishing Secession articles. As they did not stop, Selick, on Friday night last, carried a peach basket of stones to the front of the office, and was. in the act of taking one from the basket when he was fired at with a pistol. The ball passed close to his head. Had he been standing erect, it would have hit him. Immediately, ancl before any stone was thrown, a shot-gun was fired, and Selick was shot in tho arm and side. Seventeen shots were extracted. The wounds will not result fatally. Messrs. HaU and Deyo admit having fired the pistol and shot-gun. there is considerable excitement in Catskill, but no other parties seem to have been engaged in the affray.— JY. Y. Express.
