Three Months Down South.
Last year several articles appeared, in
Blackwood's Magazine , describing warfare
in the South—articles remarkable for per
version of fact, reckless assertion, and
strong partisanship. They pandered to the
vitiated taste and strong prejudice of a cer
tain class of British readers. They were
generally accredited to an officer in the
English army, bis name, however, being
then concealed. Latterly, he has himself
cast aside hiß incognito, having published a
volume in London, entilted “ Three Months
in the Southern States : April—June, 1803.
By Lieut. Colonel Fremantle, Coldstream
Guards," which book has been republished
by Mr. John Bradburn, New York. The
writer in Blackwood is author of this book.
Every Ensign in the Foot Guards.ranks as
Lieutenant in the army, every Lieutenant
as Captain; and every Captain as Lieutenant
Colonel. Referring to the official British
“Army List” for October, 1802, the latest
we have access to, we discover that Arthur
James Freemantle really is only sixteenth
among twenty Captains, his Lieut. Colonelcy
biting: only nominal. -
yiaving obtained leave of absence from
his regiment, he left England on the 3d of
March, 1863, and arrived at, Havan'a oh tlie
22d, where Captain Hancock, of H. B. M.’s
frigate Immortalitd, not having the fear of
Victoiia’s neutrality proclamation before his
eyes, “ volunteered” to take him to Mata
moros, with the avowed purpose of getting
into the theatre of war, vw Texas. Arriv
ing near the mouth of the Rio Grande, he
was landed on its Mexican bank, and thence
passed over into Texas. It was some time
before the aristocratic British colonel could
get “ accustomed and reconciled to the ne
cessity of shaking hands anddrinking brandy
with every one.”
At Brownsville, where he first touched
American soil, he chuckled over having
sold his gold for four times its value —in
Confederate notes; but, at Charleston, he
was offered six to one, and at Richmond
eight to one for it; the owner, as [well as
the gold, was “ sold” at Brownsville. On
the other hand, he retrieved his Joss at San
Antonio, where he sold his portmanteau
for $333. He chuckles over the recollec
tion that “its value in England couldn’t
have been more than £8 or £9. The port
manteau itself, which was an old one,
fetched $5l; a very old pair of butcher
boots, $32; five shirts, $42; an old over
coat, $35,"
We are not going to track Captain Fre
mantle through Texas up to Natchez, hut
shall merely note down some of his occa
sional observations upon men and things in
the South.
General Magruder, 'who was command
ing in Texas, he describes as “a fine sol
dier-like man, of about fifty-five, with broad
shoulders, a- florid complexion, and bright
eyes. He wears his whiskers and mustaches
in the English fashion, and he was
dressed in the Confederate gray uniform.”
Of course, he generally abused the Union
Generals, but praised himself exceedingly.
He would seem to have a jolly time with
his stall, who lived with him on a free and
easy footing. After dinner they have sing
ing, speech- making, and fiddling, accom
panied plenty of punch, brewed by “an
aged and slightly elevated militia rough
faced hero, who gloried in the name of
McGuffin.” Fremantle informs the world
that “on these' festive occasions General
JUfogritder wears a red woolen cap, and fills the
president’s chair with great aptitude.”
En route to Galveston, General Samuel
Houston was encountered: ‘‘ He told me he
was born in Virginia, seventy years ago;
that he was United States Senator at thirty,
and Governor of Tennessee at thirty-six.
* ' * * As Governor of Texas in 1860, he
had opposed the Secession movement, and
was deposed. Though evidently a remarka
ble and clever man, he is extremely egotisti
cal and vain, and much disappointed at hav
ing to subside from his former grandeur.
In appearance, he is a tall, handsome old
man, much given to chewing tobacco, and
blowing his nose with his fingers.”
"We are told, as matter of grave moment,
that General Kirby Smith “ wears big spec
tacles and a black beard,” and that “his wife
is an extremely pretty woman, from Balti
more, but she had cut her hair quite short
like a man’s.” Kirby Smith told Freman
tle “ that McClellan might probably have
destroyed the Southern army with the great
est ease during the first winter, and without
running much risk to himself, as the South
erners were so much over-elated by their
easy triumph at Manassas, and their army
had dwindled away.”*
Gen. Hebert is “a good-looking creole,
, extremely down upon England for not re
cognizing the South.” Elsewhere, with
equal elegance of diction, the Coldstream
officer sayß, “ Six of us pigged in one very
small room. 1 ’
General Joseph E. Johnson ("commonly
called Joe Johnson,J) we learn, “haslately
taken to wearing a grayish beard. He
lives very plainly, and at present his only
cooking-utensils consisted of an old coffee
pot and frying-pan—both very inferior arti
cles. There was only one fork Cone prong
deficient) between himself and staff, and
this was handed to me ceremoniously as
the‘guest.’”
General Loring “is a stout man, with
one arm.” General Maury, met at Mobile,
is “an intelligent but diminutive Virgini
an.” Mr. Fremantle accompanied him
on a visit to the four forts which guard
Mobile. “During the trip I overheard
Gen. Maury soliloquizing over a Yankee
flag, and saying, ‘ Well, I never should
have believed that I could have lived to see
the day in which I should detest that old
.flag.’” Ho doubt some other rebels have
similar offshoots of remorse. '
Of Stonewall Jackson, the brave man who
fell in a bad cause, the following is related:
“ It appears that previous to the war he was al
most at oionomaDise about his health. When, he left
the United States seivice he was under the impres
sion that one or his legs was getting shorter than
the other; and afterwards his idea was that he only
perspired on one aide, and that it was necessary to
keep the arm and leg of the other side in constant
motion, in order to preserve the circulation; but it
seemß that after the war broke out he never made
any iurther allusion to his health.”
The description of Gen. Bragg is not
quite rose-tinted. Mr. Fremantle says:
“This officer is in appearance the least prepossess*
fog of the confederate generals. He ii very thin;
he stoop,, and has a siokly, cadaverous, haggard ap
pearance, rather plain feature,, bushy black eye
brows, which unite in a tuft ou the top of hi, no»e,
and a atubby iron-gray beard; but hi, eye, are bright
and pleroirg. He ha, the reputation of being a
rigid ufsdfp’hiiiad, and of ,hooting freely for in
■ubordinalion. I uaderttaild hc It rather Unpopular
on thi, account, and alao by reaion of hi, 6C?.V 10 hM
acerbity of manner.”
Among tie rebels, it seems, only two
foreigners are generals. One of these is
Brigadier General de Polignac ; the other is
Major General Cleburne, from the south of
Ireland, who had served in an English in
fantry Tegiment for three years, bought his
discharge, became a lawyer in Arkansas,
was elected captain of a company and then
colonel of a regiment, and now commands
a division—nominally of 10,000 men. Mr.
Freemantle says, somewhat exultiagly,
“He told me that he ascribed his admnee-
•Except that Magruder is represented a* ridiculing his
eaceftsive caution, this is the only mention of McClellan
in this book. In 1 ' Battle-fields of the South, from* Ball
Ban to Fredericksburg; by An Jnglish Oombatant, Lieu
tenant of Artillery of the Field Staff, "(also published,
or republished, by Mr. Bradburn, and a very interest*
ingtlioogh paitial production,) is the following: *‘l have
frequently heard distinguished Bouthern leaders speak
of McClellan in the highest terms of compliment. His
successful retreat through the '.Chickahominy swamp is
coneidend by officers to be equal to the best deeds on
military record. It may. not be generally known, but
men of high position and high veracity have said in
Bicbmond, that McClellan offered his services to the
Sonthwhen the w®r betas, and that he asked to com
mand a division. He was answered that.if his heart was
In the cause let him join the ranks, like Longstreet and
others, atd fight his way up to that position. There are
documents which place this question beyond dispute,bat
I have net seek them."
ment mainly to the useful lessons which he had
learnt in the ranks of the British army, and
he pointed with a laugh to his general’s
white facings, which he said his 41st expe
rience enabled him to keep cleaner than any
other Confederate general.”
Charleston, as he saw it in June, 1863,
he found nearly all the shops shut up,
and “ the lighting and paving of the city
gone to the bad entirely." There, as at
Mobile, the hotel charge was $8 a day, and
“ in consequence of the fabulous value of
boots, they must not be left outside the door
of one’s room, from danger of annexation
by a needy and unscrupulous warrior.”
At Charleston, the English sympathizer
“calledon Gen. Beauregard, who is a man
of middle height, about forty-seven years of
age. He would be very youthful in appear
ance were it not for the color of his hair,
which is much grayer than his earlier pho
tographs represent. Some persons account
for the sudden manner in which his hair
turned gray by allusions to his cares and
anxieties during the last two years ; but the
real and less romantic reason is to be found
in the rigidity of the Yankee blockade, which,
interrupts the arrival of articles of toilet. He
has a long straight nose, handsome brown
eyes, and a dark mustache, without whiskers,
and his manners ijre extremely polite. He
is a New Orleans ud French is hia
native language.
Of the President of'the Rebel Confedera
tion, we are told 1
“ Mr. Jefferson Davis struck me as looking older
then I expected. Re is only urty-six, bnt his face is
emaoiated, and muoh wrinkled. He ia nearly six
feet htgh, hut is extremely thin, and stoops a little.
His features are good, especially his eye, whleh is
very bright, and full of life and humor. I was aftsr
waxds told he had lost the sight of his left eye from
a recent illness. He wore a linen coat and gray
trousers, and he looked what he evidently is, a well
breit gentleman* H.e said that, when the inevitable
amteh came—and that teparation was an aoaom*
phshed fact—ihe State oi Blaine would probably
try to join Canada, as moat of the intelligent people
Inlbat State have a horror of being ‘wider the thumb
of Massachusetts,' ”
This will somewhat astonish Maine.
Of the visit to Richmond little is told.
His stay there was brief, for he was anxious
to join Lee and Longstreet, of the Virginian
rebel army, to whom he had special letters
of introduction. Accompanied by the Hon.
F. Lawley, The Times' Southern corres
pondent, he came up with them, in Penn
sylvania, on the 37th of last June. Long
street is “a thickset, determined-looking
man, forty-three years old Lee is, “with
out exception, the. handsomest man of his
age (56) I ever saw;” and, “throughout
the South, all agree in pronouncing him to
be as near perfection as a man can be. His
only faults, so far as I can. learn, arise from
his excessive amiability. ” . In short, as Mr.
Wackford £ queers said of his amiable son,
Lee must be “ next door to a cherubim.”
Full details are here given of the Rebel
plunderings in Maryland and Pennsylvania
last summer, also a confused account
of the glorious three days at Gettysburg.
Of the first day’s encounter (July 13, the
author says: “ I have the best reason for
supposing that the fight came off premature
ly, and that neither Lee nor Longstreet in
tended that it should have begun that day.
I also think that their plans were deranged
by the events of the first.” Here, after the
final repulse of the Rebels, on July 3d, is
another confession: “General Lee said to
me, ‘ This has been a sad day for us, Colonel
—a sad day ; but we can’t expect always to
gain victories.’ I saw General Willcox (an
officer who wears a short round jacket and
a battered straw hatj come up to him, and
explain, almost crying, the state of his
brigade. General Lee immediately shook
hands with him, and said cheerfully, 'Never
mind, General, all this has been m.y fault- it
is I that have lost this fight, and you must
help me out of it in the best way you can.’ ”
His “ leave ” nearly expired, Colonel ("or
Captain ) Fremantle wascom polled to leave
his Rebel friends. He left Hagerstown on
the 9th of last July, and represented him
self, on Union soil, as “an English travel
ler.” Arrested, he was taken to General
Kelly, at Hancock, to whom he confessed
that he had passed from Mexico to Texas,
had visited all the Southern armies in Mis
sissippi, Tennessee, Charleston, and Virgi
nia, and seen the late campaign as General
Longstrect’s guest, but had in no way enter
ed the Confederate service. General Kelly
allowed him to pass on to New York, in
stead of sending him across the lines, to
find his way back to England through the
Rebel States, by which he had entered.
“Three Months in the Bouthern States”
is an amusing instance of excessive preju
dice and self-conceit. Its author, much ad
dicted to slang and vulgar phraseology, has
. not-wiitten his book like a gentleman. With
all his praise of the South, he evidently is
laughing in his sleeve at their raw regi
ments, punch-drinking generals, and blus
tering subalterns. With very questionable
taste, also, he crowds his pages with many
specimens of the horrible profanity that
forms the woof of general Southern conver
sation. He has not elevated himself nor
his military commission by the tone and
spirit of his book. It has been accepted in
England, by a certain class, as “ unbiased,”
but some of the London journals, we notice,
are severe on its slip-slop style, its occa
sional vulgarity, and its too frequent quota
tion of Southern profanity.
■Streets Here and There.
Popular titleß were formerly given to our etreet,
and places, somewhat to"WSL-^prejud io e of the pre
ecribed and registered names. As citizens we have
something more Important to attend to just at pre
sent than the revival of these ancient appellations
and innovations in our street nomenclature.
Streets, lanes, alleys, courts, avenues, and roads,
are all the generia distinctions which our directory
admits of. These should be extensive enough.
The individual namt a which they comprise do not
correspond with this arrangement in distinctiveness.
Local identities are mixed up and confused.
11 Which Is which V> might very readily be the first
question of the perplexed pedestrian. Streets, like
individuals, have characters, and should not be
unbecomingly baptised. To dub them with a presi
dential sur-name is all very well, but we do not
wsnt a heterogeneous tangle of Washingtons, Ad
amses, Jefiertons, Madisons, and Monroes. We
oan dispense with the plentiful peppering or Smiths,
Greene, Joneses, and Browns, and the numerous
little, which are diminutives of some of the larger
Btieeta a little over-do the matter. In foreign eities
and towns a hew system of great precision ha, been
adopted, both with respect tq the names of street,
themselves, and to the distinction between the seve
ral orders of streets.
In Naples, for instanee, all principal streets are
designated strode; cross streets, viche ; smaller
streets, vicoletti; lanes, slrettole; hilly streets leading
to the old tower, and up to the castle, colati; those
leading to the suburbs, sdlati; those so steep as to
require steps, gradoni ; and those with many branch
es, rampe. But it would be to little purpose to make
these nice distinctions unless, as in the present oase,
they were as nicely maintained and observed. The
tame graduated distinction is recognized in Milan.
There, all streets radiating from the centre of
the town are known ai corsie. Continuation!
of these beyond the line of the most dis
tant fortifications are called corat —a very
slight distinction. Borgo being the Italian for
suburb, '; the streets which traverse the suburbs
have the general name of borghi applied to them.
h)T<? s *Vt or towers, are those parallel tQ the
canal.anu IfciMdlately within it. This street classlfi.
cation, if strictly adhered to, materiaUy lessens the
perplexity of either resident or visitor, even where
the same individual name may be given to one street
of each variety. It has been suggested that names
indicating the locality might be given to the streets.
Judgment is required here, and it is to be hoped that
the proposition recently made at Islington, England,
will not be imitated. The holder there applied to
the vestry for permission to name these new thor
oughfares "Trajent,” Adrian, and Antontue, be
cause they were all on the Bom&mvood estate.
Els wish was granted, but the peculiar appro*
priateness of the design was net apparent. A
striking example of felicity of epithet will be found
in the lately-proposed names for the embankment of
the Thames. It is not enough that the locality
should be spoken of as the Thames-Embankment
street, some lover of polysyllables proposes the
« Metropolitan-Board-of- Works thoroughfare.” The
name has one advantage, that of being proportion
ate in length to the locality It designates. Thwatte s
road is better than this, and Thames way, or Thames
bank, as the snarling Athenaeum suggests, Is pre
ferable to both. The christeners of the •• Metropoll
tsn-Board-of-Works thoroughfare ” believe in the
dignity of dullness, and hope to eseape Hood’s allu
•ion to
** Many a vulgar name
That would make a door-plate blush for shame
If dcor-plates were not bo brazen. ”
Numeroua changes have, in the eoniie of many
yearn, come over the name* of Philadelphia atreeta.
Noble street, for instance, waa anciently known aa
BlooJy lane. The accoulent aweetneaa of this title
THREE CENTS-
wss prob&bly duo to the faot of an entertaining muf
der having been committed there. South atreet, eo
oalled torn ita having been the eouthern limit of the
city, wai once Cedar atreet. Sassafras >treet haa
almoat sunk Into oblivion; and Kace street, whiau
received that name from its having led to the races,
has usurped the reputation. It was also known as
lionghurat atreet. Arch street, ao baptized be
cause of ita having an aroh or bridge across
it at Front street, w« known as Mulberry, and
also as Holmes afreet. Market street wai, of
course, named after its own markets, its farmer
name having been High street, because of
its elevation above the river. What ia Water
was formerly King street; Branoh street was
krown as Sour-Orout, because the first cutter of
cabbage, who used to go abroad with his machine
to cut for families, used to live alone there. In like
manner Jones’ Alley was recognized as Pewier
plaiter Ayey, a large pewter dish being hung up,
ssa sign-board, at Front atreet. Duke street be
came Artillery Dsne, from the planting of osnnon
there by the British, and Prime atreet was onoa
railed Dove Dane. Vine, once upon a time, was
Valley, and Chestnut was Wynn street, after
Thomas Wynn. What was onoe Fool atreet,
leading to Dock Creek, la now Walnut. The
names of large atieeta seem to have bean suggest
ed by the kinds of trees prevailing, and Watson’s
Annals remarks that' William Penn, in his letter
of 1689, explains that the names of streets appear
to have been taken from the things that sponta
neously grew in the looaUty, He instances Vine.
Mulberry, Cranberry, Hickory, Oak, Beech, Ash<
and Poplar streets.
Dikeohargea have taken place in the atreet no*,
menolature of New York city. If is curious to
notice how the difference between the old names and
the new illustrate in some instances the spruit of ;
the Colonies and that of the Republic. The, old
names of King, Queen, Dittle Queen, CrowaVi
Prlncers, and Duke streets were altogether set aside,
and it is noticable that Crown street became Dlberty
street, ss evidencing at once the genius of the na
tion and that of the locality. _
Broadway is represented to have been originally
an extensive parade, which the British military
planted down the middle with trees, and which they
called their Mall.
A writer in The Bunder gives an illustration of
the influence a name may exert even upon a street,
which lately ocourred In his neighborhood, where a
street was named Benjamin road by the freeholder.
The houses, however, not letting as quickly as
they should, tt i builder changed the name to Clifton
road, and rapidly found tenants. The proverb,
“ give a dog a bad name,” applies to a atreet. It
is a misfortune that the importance of a good name
ia not better understood. The same writer refers to
the confusion arising from misnomers. The word
“ garden,” as used In Dondon, meant blocks of houses
inhabited by the poorer classes, as Dobney's (D'Au
bigny’s) garden, Short’s garden. The same term is
now applied to handsome rows of gardens in the
neighborhood of Kensington. The word “ street,”
he remarks, Is becoming obsolete; every thorough,
fare becomes a ” road,” and treeless parks and tor
tuous avenues augment the incongruity.
In Paris attention is being called to the faot that
the term “ square ” will be discontinued, and that of
“place” applied to all open spaces, planted ae gar
dens, like the grounds before the Arts et Metiers
and around the Tower of fct. Jacques. “Boulevard ”
will be applied only to roads which follow the line
of anoient fortifications or old municipal boundaries.
Wide thoroughfares radiating from the centre of the
city, or running obliquely aoross it, will be termed
avenues. Probably the terms barriere, route, che
min, sentier, otter , chaussbr, will no longer bo so in
discriminately used. Here, in Philadelphia, al
though the regularity with which the oity is laid,
and the general propriety of its atreet nomenclature,
render any portion of it easily accessible to the visi
tor, yet there are plenty improvements to be made,
when circumstances admit of the public attention
being ao directed.

DITEHAKY GOSSIP.
The war on Bohemia now trebly thunders on the
gale, and exoitea no Utile irritation in certain quar
ters. Bohemia is certainly inflamed and feverish,
and is vindicating itself as well as it oan. Thus
much may be said on behalf the Bedouins, that the
assault made upon them by the columns of the Round
Tahte, was not very genteel or ehoiae as regards the
selection of epithets. The original article whloh
initiated the combat, is said to have been penned by
Mr. O ,of the Tribune. I give this merely as a
rumor, which ia current in Bohemian circles; but
one which, of course, is at present incapable of veri
fication. The glove thus thrown down, was picked up
by Mr. Frstk Wood, dramatic critic of Wilkes’ spirit,
and an artioleon “Barclolph" was the counter-assault.
From this point, the chattering grew indiscriminate.
Bedouins and anti-Bedouins have gone through
the most intricate war-dances, and tomahawked
esch other periodically ever since. The Round Table
has gone round seeking whom it might devour; bat
its crusade seems somewhat feeble. An Illustrated
paper has also taken up the cudgels In a mysterious*'
sort of way—conservative, probably—and ia imping
ing upon the ease-hardened Bedouins, whether with
love taps or not, it Is hard to decide. The drawings
are from the pencil of Frank Bellew, and appear in
Dcmorest's Illustrated Kars for last week. If any
should deßire to see some excellent portraits of the
leaders of the New York Bohemia, they will And
throughout the plate referred to.
The Queen of Bohemia has recently sailed for Cali
fornia, where, it is announced, she will remain for
tome time. This lady is known ass rather pleasant
contributor to the weekly press, under the nom de
Silnme of 11 Ada Clare.” She is spoken oFasalsdy
of kindly instincts, and one to whom more than one
poor struggling author has been indebted for tempo
rary relief. To such admirable qualities, perhaps,
she owes her elevation to this fanciful dignity—the
only reward in the gilt of the poor Bedouins of lite
rature.
Appropos to the subject of the Round Table, a va»t
mistake has been made by journalists in this and
other cities, in attributing its editorship to Stod
dard, the poet. This gentleman holds no other po
sition than that of contributor.
A new comic illustrated paper is to be started in
this city, to which Messrs. Frank Bellow, John Ma-
Lenn, Ed. Mullen, and other artists prominent in
the humorous line, will contribute. Possibly the
proprietors will avoid the rock upon which Vanity
Fair split, and, profiting by its experience, become
an established institution. Comic journals, of the
so-called “high standard,” have never flourished
like green bay trees, in the metropolis; and we have
successively witnessed tbe extinguishment or John
Brougham’s Lantern, the Batty Momus, and V, F.
How tbe new journal will fare, seems entirely pro
blematical. Publishers seem to have a mania for
imitating the London Punch, forgetful that the Eng
lish, as a nation, will go convulsed with laughter
over the heavy humor which Jonathan would view
with all the imperturbability of a bored gentleman
at a'bad play. As long as we deal in servile imita
tions of a paper which is in its very dotage, failure
must, in all probability, result.
BIBLIOMANIA.
Up to within the last quarter of 1863, visitors to
the book-stalls were accustomed to the sight of a
quiet, gray-haired gentleman, pleasant-faced and in
telligent, who was in the habit of walking sharply
into these repositories of thumbed and ancient lite
rature, running his bright, apprecistive eyes over the
title-pages of old volumes, and buying or declining,
as the case might be. When George Cruikshank
illustrated that portion of Oliver Twist which treats
of the methods of action by which the Artful Dodger
secured the handkerchief of ‘the “ prime plant ’’—the
" old cove at the book- stall ” —he may not have had
this Bame quiet old gentleman in his eyes; but the
Bludioua and wrapt quiescence given by the artist to
the 11 prime plant ” was a characteristic of this aame
quiet old gentleman—a way of his in turning over
musty leaves and settling in his mind their biblio
graphical values. There was a sort of smacking of
the mental lips over the jaundiced and freckled title
pages which bespoke at once the confirmed biblio
maniac. I looked at his portrait a few' hours ago,
and could almost fancy that the pupils of hia eyes
were little coiled black worms—genuine book-worms,
possessing sapid palates that could detect false
flavors in volumes as readily aa a bon*vivant can
perceive the earthy flavor in sherry cooled for years
in Xeres’ cellars.
This gentleman was Mr. John Allen, who led the
life not only of your thorough-going bibliomaniac,
but of a veritable Marquis de la Tabatldre. He
hunted through thousands of smoky volumes, mum
mied in parchment and calf, blew dust from ragged
bindings on every book-stall which has existed here
for the last half century, rummaged everything and
everywhere ; and dying in November last, left be
hind him a superb library of some seven thousand
volumes, and a collection of uniqnes and cariosities,
comprehending, among other thinge, upwards of a
hundred snuff boxes of gold, silver, and wood. He
lived in Yandewater street, an out-of-the way loca
lity, where, like a second Metastasio, walled in
with hooks, he passed hia llesure hours. AU his
volumes were handsomely bound, and he kept them
with sorupuloue eare. Among them is Elliot’s In
dian Bible, the finest of the very few copies extant.
Connoisseurs fix its value at a thousand dollars.
The original edition of Robert Burns ic valued at
some two hundred dollars. The entire collection In
cludes the finest library of illustrated works ever
ottered—as they soon will be—for sale in this coun
try. Mr. Allen was an enthusiast in his work. He
lived to be eighty- seven; and his of ten-repeated wish
to see hi* one-hundredth birthday might have been
gratified, hsd the mere endurance of physical strength
LiSSpred his davs. full of vitality, fresh in mind
and judgment, he wti CAttled pff suddenly by an

the deceased, printed for the weH- known Bradford

MISCELLANY.

the coming campaign.
The action against the“ Count Joannes,** in Bos

its compeer in an action reoently commenced against
an excitable lady in Brooklyn. The complaint

A LETTER FROM POETHASTBR QBHBBAL BLAIS
Washieotok, Feb. la, 1864.
C C. FiUfon x Esq,.
Dear si a ; 1 observe, with regret, some sytnp*
to Me of division among the Emancipationists, con
nected with the question of lf, how
ever, those opposed to compensation mean only that
it should not be made by the State, or that it should
not be a condition precedent to emancipation, this
proves no reason lor division among us, for all now
agree to emancipation, immediate and uncondi
tional. '
Id my view, emancipation was substantially as
sented to by me people or the state when, la issi (
they voted to adhere to the Union; and Congress,
by rhe resolution of Marob, 18$2, which was drawn
and recommended by the President, undertook and
promised to indemnify the State for the loss thereby
sustained when emancipation should be formally
adopted. Slavery has now, in fact, ceased to exist,
and it only remains to recognize this fact by ordi
nance to entitle the State to the indemnity pledged
by congress*
It may be said that this claim, though based on
the same faith as the five-twenties, will be resitted.
1 fear, indeed, from indications which I regret to
observe, that it may find opposition even, among
oursehtes. But it will be time enough for the friends
of emancipation to divide on that question when tt
arises, and there should certainly be no controversy
among them about it at this stage or the proceed
ings. Yours truly, M. BLAIR.
George Thompson.
[l'rcm tlie Hartford FressJ
Hr. Thompson was bred In a mercantile house, in
London, and it was not till 1830 that he became
known to the publlo. At that time he read the
gieat speech of l)r. Thomson, of Edinburg, m favor
of immediate emancipation, embraced its view?, mad
was soon after employed by the Anti-SWvery .Socie
ty of London to travel and lecture. His success was
complete, astonishing. •No antagonist could stand
before him. The West India body, taking alarm,
put forward Mr. Peter Borthwiok. to present the
slaveholdtng view of the question/ and though ha
was a foeman worthy of Thompson’s steel, yet tha
advocate of slavery could not stand before tha
champion of freedom. The wit, eloquence, sarcasm,
logic, facts, of the latttr always gained him tha
victory.
After the passage of the West India abolition
bill, Mr.. Thompson came to this country, but was
driven away. Returning, he turned his attention
to the affairs of British Todla, advocithig tho
rights of the natives against ttse rapacity and.op
preislon of the E&it India company, la 164-2 he
visited India, and was received Jiiie a conqueror,
greeted with long processions of richly caparisoned
elephants and camels, with cymbals and trumpets,
and escorted with all the gorgeous pomp of the orient.
He, however, busied himself with investigations,
and on his return made hU attack on the East India
house, in defence of the dethroned K&jth. lie
made a great sensation, and a scene ensued that
recalled the days of Lord Olive and Warren Hast
ings. It was an era in the history of the (Jourt of
Proprietors, and his eloquent plea for justice aud
honor were not in vain.
In tbe corn law struggle be fought side by side
witliCobdeu and Blight, and swung the keenest
blade in the. free-trade contest. In 1817 he was
elected, by a majority unprecedentedly large, to toe
House of Commons. He is an advocate of univer
sal suffrage, of tbe dissolution of the union of
church and State, and free education.
Mr. Thompson’s oratory we have never heard
equalled. His compass la greater than that of
any speaker we know. Others may excel him
in certain things, but he is remarkable in every*
thing. In lofty flights he is irresistible, full of
passion and the fire of genius-; his sarcasm is ter
rible; and yet his pathos is more moving, his wit
is very been, and hlB humor is so taking that at
times you think he would have made the best come
dian in tbe world, and withal he is the most grace
-- ful, polished, and elegant of speakers. Ho recalled
to us, when we heard Id 1850, what we had read of
the greatest orators or the English Parliament,
when such men as Burke and Pox and Sheridan
f wese- its ornaments. ■ Upon an occasion when Mr.
had been speaking on the formation of
. the British India Society, Lord Brougham arose
aedsaid: “I have always pleasure in listening to
Mr. Thompson, who is the most eloquent man and
the most accomplished orator whom I know.'*
Theie could not be higher praise, but those who
hear him will be likely to endorse it.

Shocking Teagebt In Johnstown—A Cm
zbk Killb the Alleged Seduces of his Wife?.—
We learn from the Johnstown Tribune y of Cambria
county, foil particulars of a remarkable tragedy
which occurred there on Friday morning, the 12th
inst. The affair took plaoe on the pavement, below
toe office of the Tribute. The *dil6* Uhfi :
Immediately beneath the window which we
raised, we found two citizens whom we recognized
as Mr. Joseph Moore and Mr. Jordan Marbourg.
Mr. Moore had hold of Mr. Marbourg, (whom he
had shoved back against the closed window shutter
of the post offioe, next to the entraaoe to our
office.) about the neck with his left hand, while
in hit right hand he held and flourished above
his head a revolver ’pistol. Moore, in a very
wild, frantic, and loud manner, charged Mao
bouig with having seduced his wife, and ruined
him. Marbourg softly denied the charge, said it was
not to; that he had never injured him. Moore
repeated the charge; saying that slue had made a
clear breast of it; that she had confessed all to him;
that she bad acknowledged the corn ; that while ha
had been in tbe service of his country, he (Mao
bourg) bad debauched bis wife, and he^would be
fully justified in snooting him like a dog—in killing
him. We think all these words were used, or words
to the same effect, though perhaps not just in
the order they are here introduced, as Moore ex
pressed himself very frantioaliy and incoherent
ly, accompanying his charges and threats with
vehement oaths. Marbourg, in the meantime,
made no resistance other than repeated pro
testations of his innocence. After continuing
thus for perhaps a couple of minutes, Moore let go
his hold of Marbourg, and stepping back a pace,
levelled hia pistol at his viotim and fired, the ball
apparently taking effect in his forehead. He in
stantly fired another which seemed to take effect in
his breast; then another, and an other, and—after
Marbourg had fallen to the pavement—another 1 in
all, five balls, every one of whioh took effect, and
three of which indicted mortal wound*! The first
ball, however, did its fatal errand but too surely*
and ail the rest were thrown away—it killed the*
man instantly, and his body fell to the earth a life
less lump, entirely unconscious of the after shots*.
He never uttered a groan, or heaved a sigh, or moved
a muscle, so far as we saw, afterwards.
After the shooting, Moore deliberately walked
across the street to the opposite corner,* and thence,
at the suggestion of a citizen, to the office of Esqr.
Rutledge, where he surrendered himself into tne
hands of the law. In the meantime, the shocking
occurrence bad attracted a number of citizens to the
•pot. who picked uu the dead hotly anil conveyed it
to the family residence, on Main street. Moore,
upon his own information, was committed by the
magistrate, and in a few minutes a’ter wia oa his
way to Ebenaburg, there to await in jail the meat
ing of court.
Mr. Marbourg and Mr. Moore werewell koown and
respectable citizens of Johnstown. Moore was auc
tioneer of the borough or Johnstown, from whioh
position he enlisted aa a corporal in the 135th. He
has heretofore been noted for his evenness of tem
per, his genial, hearty good nature, and lively social
qualifier, toned by scrupulous morality and earnest
piety. How this sad affair originated, is told as fol
lows : Sometendays ago, Mr. Moore received an in
timation .of the infidelity of bis wife, how, we are
cot informed; her alleged “ illicit rove ” being
Mr. Jordan Marbourg. Henet about investigating
tbe imputation upon bis wife’s virtue, and when he
thought he had obtained sufficient evidence to crimi
nate Mr. Marbourg, he called upon that gentleman
and stated bis business. The latter emphatically
denied the imputation, and offered to go anywhere,
and before anybody, and do anything, to trace the
origin of the story and disprove it. Subsequently,
he and Mr. Moore called upon a police officer, who
alleged he had seen Mr. Marbourg and Mrs. Moore
meet on the street, under suspicious circumstances,
one evening a week or two previous. Mr. Marbourg'
denied all recollection of any such meeting, when
Mr. Moore told him he would investigate tbe matter
to the source, and, if he found him guilty, he would
certainly shoot him. Mr. Marbourg professed hia
willingness to be shot, if he was guilty. The men
then separated. wr- 5~ 1 0. °.r ? „ *> in
vestigate tko matter, and though he did not find
■uffleient to justify Mm in taking extreme vengeanoe
of Mr. Marbourg, be became latlafieii of the Infide
lity of his wife. Under thie impression, he was pre
parirg to leave her to the care and embraces ol
those to whom he believed she had lent herself,
without further troubling Mr. Marbourg. But on
Thui mint Ihf—prudently or imprudently, aa
each may judge for himself—admitted her criminality
with Marbourg to her husband, and gavehim money
and showed him gifts she alleged she had received
from her paramour, This so enraged Moore that,
after walking hie garden all night long, be repaired
to the neighborhood of tbe post office early in the
morning, to await the coming thither of the de
stroyer of hia peace, with the result aa above de
tailed.
