THE GREAT CENTRAL FAIR.
EXPECTED ARRIVAL OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN
MRS. LINCOLN WILL ALSO BE PRESENT.
the eighth day of the fair.
Tlio Exoiloincnt Increases.
MORE STRANGERS IN ATTENDANCE.
MORE GOODS ARRIVING.
- The more the people scQ the Fair the : more they
admire it. Taking the entire multitude into con
sideration, it represents the every-day world, a pro
miscuous mass of people". It may he said the crowd
is divided into two classes—one who come to see
things and ihakepurcbases; the other to promenade
for the purpose of being seen. It-is our opinion,
based upon a considerable amount of personal ob
servation, that the first-named class largely pre
dominates. ; General purchases were made yester
day in all the various , departments. This is as it
should be. This Is the main tiling for which the gi
gantic affair is organized and perfected. It is by
'disbursing money, and obtaining inreturn for the
expenditure the full worth of the amount*? that the
brave soldiers who battle for the cause of human
rights will be benefitted through the .medium of the
Sanitary Commission, an organization compiled of
sclf-sacrificing men and women, whose reward is a
question to be settled after time shall have passed
away. -The scenes in the. various departments yes.
terday were pleasant, thrilling, patriotic, and diver
sified. Men, women, children, whole families, left
their blue mountain homes in tho interior and per
formed a successful prilgrimage to the great Union
Mecca. . Any quantity of excellent, substantial,
wholesome food arrived from “ Alt Berks,” and was
served up in,the Pennsylvania Kitchen at.the rate
of only fifty cents per meal. . During the dining
hours'the tables were steadily full. *lt was rather
amusing to hear some of the expressions that fell
from lips of innocence in the “ Dutch Kitchen.”
': & bh,'riYommy,” said a little auburn-haired child,'
whose~eheeks were rosy with the health of seven or
bight summer of mountain air and sunshine, “Oh,
mommy, don’t she look like granny”—alluding to
one! of The .ladies dressed, in ancient costume,, and
seated by the big stbne’fire-piace spinning flax.
\ “ Husli ; . hush, my childf she’ll hear you ; you
’mustn’t sa; r tliat,” respondedihe mother.
The child locked wondoriqglyfdT.a moment, and
with native simpliclty remarked :. *-*•**. *
; She can’t hoar me, mommy,’ ’cause .she'S doif.” “
We could riot help smiling at the "artless remark.
As we* were about to leave, we were confronted
by a crowd of country folks, one or two hesitating to
go in. . ' • •’ • .
‘ j“Oh, what’s the. use ? I don’t care about seeing
anything inthar; it’s just like*our kitchen to hum.’?
’“Oli, come in, and iet’ssee how they do things,”)
responded the Argument was useless; ;
“Walkin,;iad!es, only ten cents,” next fell upon
the ear, as vre-moved along the restless current of
humanity, ever flowing up orie avenue and down
another* •
OUR QUARTERS.
It that after maftwas made there was a
vacant spot insideihat seemed to bo. neither useful
nor ornamental/; ItVas 'made 'the receptacle of a
substance to balance, the remainder of humanity.
'So it may.be said about the committee of internal
arrangements of the Great Saisitary Fair building,
? This body,of gentlemen* fquncl a place, not very or
namental, under the north end of the permanent
'music gallery, west end of Union avenue. This
'*piace has-been appropriated to members oi- the
press generally, who make up the popular balance
"sheet of the Fair. It ia with a great
natural production, a. huge tree that branches off
eight feet above the surface.. Before us, on the tree
aforesaid, we observe a large placard, prohibiting
“smoking and all use of fire upon these premises,,
except under direction of the proper committee.” A
large pine table and three chairs form the sum total
of our furniture. In this! place wo jot down this re
port. The band, full and efficient, are playing over
head that beautiful tune “Parthenia to Ingomar,”
to he followed, of course, during the remainder of
the day with other choice musical compositions.
Now the music ceases, and we hear the short
breath of the I&t-air the clank of machine
ry to our right, merry voices In front and all around.,;
Now come rolling up from some distant part of the
great exhibition the sweet strains of music of the
"West Philadelphia Hospital band, who will perform ;
every afternoon and evening this week. They are f
in Horticultural Hall, where there are no less than
three thousand people in admiration
of the enchanting scenes and sounds around them.
Prospero could never have formed a place of en
chantment to exceed this beautiful part of the exhi- :
bition.. Talking of it reminds us;: of the department
running from Horticultural HalKoppropriatcd to
AQUARIA,
wherathere arc any number of aquariums, rectan
gular,: square, oval, or sphericaf in shape, abound
ing with fish of diminutive size, a»d many colors;
smalUizards, their bodies.
“Lean'and long.
A flsli’s head, a serpent’s tongue,
And what a length of tail behind! ’ ’
: The antics of the little inhabitants of the water,
•darting down through coral rocks or moss-covered
stones, playing “ tag ” with each other, will amuse
the spectator. Now there comespm eel waving its
way through the dark recesses, again to emerge to
the light. Those aquariums, combined, furnish
many scenes upon which the visitor can pass an
hour of enjoyment. At the end of this gallery are
the exhibitions representing the Frigid and Torrid
Zones. These must be seen to bo appreciated in all
their beauty.
The principal plants incident,to the tropics are
well displayed.. Amid the" branches and junglo
be seen-; parrots of. varied .plumes, mis
ichievious monkeys, and other specimens of nature,;
Opposite- this display Is one .that takes us in
“ seven-league and lands ub In: the Arctic
regipns, where the deep blue atmosphere gives the
icebergs and.glaciers a sparkling arid'pearly hue.
Both those scenes arc arranged; with artistic taste.;
In the Aquaria Department, of-which these two
scenes form the eastern end, may be seen specimens
of Cashmere sheep.. Angora goat, livo- turkoys, that
“same old coon, 53 with a family around her. A
stuffed alligator and black bear also have a place in
the apartment. Around about and are
ennary birds, singing sweetly at times, as though
partaking of the general joy.,
SCENE I>* THE RESTAURANT.
Tho- sentimenal philosopher -might look.on at the
scenes, the gasironomical exercises- that spread out
before tho vision like a diorama, in. the great clrcu-/
lar restaurant, and come at once to the; conclusion
that we arc an eatable jjfople» It is a rare sight,
Indeed, to see one thousand ladies and ; gentlemen
eating at one time. The waiters here, so far as our
observation has extended, are.clever, polite, and
accommodating. They are theriglit men in the right
place. The food served up in tko- restaurant is equal
to that provided in a first-class hotel, and at less
rates. A little scene, that occurred, within our hoar*
ing, might be received as a gentle hint; if properly
taken, more moncy-would unquestionably flow .Into
the treasury: ... V:
“ Dear me, Mary, I’m so hungry l can’t wait any
longer.- Why don’t that party get done, and not
keep sitting there just to talk?”
“ They have been there nearly an hour. Anybody
ought to. eat their dinner in twenty minutes in times
such as these,” replied the companion.
“There’s a; table; let’s hurry!” said the first
lady. But'. another par.ty reached It first, and thus
the two ladies wero dbomed to furtheAdelay. J
Finally, after some time spent; these ladies ob
tained Beats at one of the tables and: enjoyed; their
dinner. .
•: Gentlemen as well as ladles', should remomuer
thakwhen they are (lone their dinner, and have paid*
for the same, they^should leave, so that other folks
may have a chanc'd to test tho qualifcy of tho good
things that are served up so promptly.
• SCENE AT THE POLICE OFFICE. . V.
-Enter young lady from the country.with a
on her arm, Jeafling a lUtle ohild.
“Oh* Mr. Officer, I have been robbed.”
“Bobbed, madam!” replied Officer Clark, with
surprise, “when and where 1”
“In the Fair, sir.” -.
“ Oh, you certainly must he mistaken, wo have,
just received our hourly report, and cau scarcely
think there is a single thief in any of the build
ings.”
“Well, sir, somebody has taken ten dollars out of
my reticule—there were two fivc-dollar treasury,
notes.”-
“Had you the reticule open, madam 1” asked
Lieutenant Henderson.
“ No, sir, I clWcd it, and found it open. Oh imy
money is gone, that’sjsertatn!”
The loser seemed thbe quite disconsolate and-a
tear commenced dimming her hazel eye. Her hopes
of spending the money wore blasted. Fulling a
perfumed cambric from her pocket, to dry the-start
ing tear, out fell two fivc-dollar notes. Sergeant
Blagec picking them up, handed the same to the
lady with the remark that she “ was mistaken.”
The lady.was rather overcome with astonishment,
she was nonplussed 5 joy now glistened in her . eye j
anxiety and worriment gave placo to a genial smile;
she acknowledged that she was mistaken,’and then
remembered that she had placed the hi her
pocket for safe keeping.

great and noble duty of devoting all my might and
heart- to the hare of a'people who, at last tired
of war and disastrous contests, sincerely wish
for peace and prosperity—a'people who, having
gloriously obtained their independence, desire to
reap the benefits of civilization and of true pro

Her Majesty then; emerged- from an adjoining

around those present, addressed them separately in
the most.courteous terms. IVe are assured that at
that moment none would have hesitated to lay his
life at the feet of such a perfect sovereign. , . ,
Their Majesties then 1 retiring, accompanied by
General Almonte, the official returned on shore,

sovereigns of Mexico. . ’ ; .

Blajor General Sen urz.— “Blajor General
Carl Sclmrz Is appointed, to the command of the
convalescent camp in Nashville—little more than a
mythicalinstitution... His predecessor was a cap
tain,”—Louisville Journal.
There is not a word of truth in the above. General
S. left 3i!s command in the, Army of the Cumberland
in consequence of the consolidation of tho 11th and
12th Corps, and reported to General Sherman, who
would have given hini an activo command in the
field if ono had been open. Unwilling to he idle
while waiting, Gen, Sclmrz, by order of General
Sherman, undertook the formation of a largo
camp of instruction, consisting of a very, con
siderable number of new three-year troops, then
coming from the Northern States. / This body
of was 1 intended to form the nucleus of a
large reserve force to be organized hero. As It be
came necessary to scatter those regiments upon a
long lino, of railroad. General S.lias again reported
for orders, and is how waiting for a now command,
just as a good many, generals, who are among tho
Louisville JoimnzPa Invoritos, bavo dono before him..
lie is, therefore, neither appointed: to tho com
mand of a convalescent camp, nor was his predeces
sor a captain, inasmuch as hehhnselfforiaed a camp
of instructiou and had no predecessor at all.—Nosk

THE PRESIDENCY.
SPEECH OP GOVERNOR JOHNSON AT NASHVILLE.
. A Union mass meeting’ was held at Nashville on
Friday night, at which Governor -Johnson was the
principal speaker. We find the following ropoft in
.the Nnshville Times; ;
7 The appearance of Governor Johnson on the steps
of the JSt. Cloud. Hotel was gTcetcd by the vast
crowd with loud applause. All were anxious to hear
and see' the next Vice-President of the United
States. : f ;
After thanking the assembly for the compliment
they had bestowed on him, and a few other prelimi
nary remarks, Governor Johnson proceeded to say
that wc lire engaged in a great struggle for free go
vernment In the proper acceptation of the term.
So far as the head of the ticket is concerned,
the Baltimore Convention has said, not only to
the United States,, but to all the nations of the
earth, that we arc determined to maintain and carry
out tlie principles of free government. [Applause.]
That Convention announced and confirmed a prin
ciple not to be disregarded. It; was that the right
oi secession, and the power of a State to place itself
out of the Union, are not recognized. The Conven
tion had declared this principle by its action. Ten
nessee had been in rebellion against the Govern
ment, and waited a treasonable war against its au
thority just as other Southern States had done.
She had seceded just as much as other States
had, and left the Union as far as. she had the
power to do so. Nevertheless, the National Con
vention had declared that a State cannot put
Itself i'rom.under the national authority. It said by
.its first nomination that the present President, take
< him altogether, was the man to steer the ship of
State for the next four years. [Loud applause.]
Next it said—if I may be permitted to speak of my
self, not in the way of vanity, but to illustrate a
principle—“ We will go into one of the rebellious
States arid choose a candidate for the Vice Presi
dency.’ 5 Thus the Union party declared its belief
that the rebellious States are still in the Union, and
that their loyal citizens are still citizens of the
United States. ’And now there Is but . one sweat
work for us to do, that is to put down the rebellion.
Our duty is to sustain the Government and help it
with all our might to crush out a rebellion which is
in violation of all that is right and sacred.
Governor Johnson said he had no impassioned ap
peal to make to the people in his own behalf. He
had not sought the position assigned him by the.
National Convention.. Not a man in all the land
can truthfully say that I have asked him to use hi 3
influence in my behalf in that body, for the position
allotted to me,”or for any other. On the contrary, I
have avoided the candidacy. But while I have not
sought it, still heimr conferred upon ma unsought,
I appreciate it tke~moro highly, Being conferred
on me without solicitation, I shall not decline it.
[Applause.] - Come weal or. woe, success or defeat,
■ sink or swim, survive or perish, I aceept the nomi
nation, on principle, be the consequences what they
may. I will do what I believe to be my duty. I
know there are those here who profess to feel a con
tempt for me, and I, on the other hand, feel my su
periority to them. t have always understood that
there is a sort of exclusive aristocracy about Nash
ville which affects to contemn all who are not within
its little circle. Let them enjoy their opinions. I
have heard it said that,
“ "Worth makes the J mas,and want of U the fellow. ”
This aristocracy has been the bane of the slave
States, nor has the North been wholly free from its
curse. It is a class which I have always forced to
respect me, for 1 have ever set it at defiance. The
respect oi the honest intelligent and Industrious
class I have endeavored to win by riiy conduct as a
man. One of the chief elements of this rebellion is
the opposition of the slave aristoeraeyto beingruled
by men who have risen from the ranks of the peo
ple. This aristocracy hated Mr. Lincoln, because
he was of humble origin, a rail-splitter in'early life.
One of them, the: private secretary of Howell
Cobb, said to me one - day, after a long con
versation, “Wo people of ’the South will
pot submit to be governed by a man
who has come up from the ranks of the com
mon people, as Abe Lincoln has.” Ho uttered the
; essential feeling and spirit of this Southern rebel
lion. Now", it has just occurred to mb, if this aristo
cracy is so violently opposed to being governed by
Mr. Lincoln, what in the name of conscience will it
do with Lincoln and Johnson!. [Great laughter.] I
reject with scorn this whole idea of anarroganf aris
tocracy. I believe that man Is capable of self-go
vernment, irrespective of hisoutwardcircumstances,
and whether he be a laborer, a shoemaker, a tailor,
or a erocer.. The question is whether .man is ca
pable of self-government. I hold with . Jefferson,
tlmt government was made for the convenience of
man, and not man for the government. That laws
and constitutions were designed asmere instruments
to promote his welfare. And hence, from this prin
ciple, I that governments can and ought
to be changed andainendedXoconform to the wants,,
to the requirements arid progress of the people, ana
the enlightened spirit of the age. [Lfrud applause.]
Now, if any of your Secessionists have lost faith in
. man ? 's ; . capability of self-government, and feel unfit
for the exercise of this , great right, go straight to
reUeidom, take Jeff Davis, Beauregard, arid Bragg
; for-your masters, and put their collars on your
necks. •/■ •.
And here let me say that now is the time
to these fundairieutai principles, while the land is
rent with anarchy arid upheaves with ihe thrdes ofa
mlghtv revolution. /While society, is in this dis
ordered. state, and we are seeking security, let us fix
the foundations of. the. Government on principles of
eternal justicewhich will endure for all time. There
-is an element in our midst who are.for perpetuating
: the institution of slavery. Let me say to, you, Ten
nesseans and, irien from the Northern States, that
slavery is dead. It was not murdered by me. I told
you long ago what the result would be if you en
deavored to go out of the Union to save slavery, and
that the result would be bloodshed, rapine,.devasta
• ted fields, plundered villages, and cities; and there
fore I urged you to remain in the Union. In trying
to save slavery you killed it and lost your own free
dom. Your slavery is dead, but I did not murder It.
As Macbeth said to Banquo’s bloody ghost,
Niver shake iky gory locks at me,—
Ti>uu canstnot say I did it. .
Slavery is dead, and you must pardon me if I do
not mourn over its dead body ; you’ can bury it out
'Of sight. In restoring the State, leaveout that dis
turbing and dangerous element, and use only those
parts of the machinery which will move in harmony..
Now, in regard to emancipation, X want to say to
the blacks that liberty means liberty to work and
enjoy the fruits of your labor. Idleness is not free
dom.; I desire that all men shall have a fair start
and an equal chance in the race of life, and let-him
succeed who has the most merit, This, I think, is a
principle of heaven. lam for emancipation for two
reasons, first because it is right in itself, andsecond,
because in tho emancipation of the slaves, we break
dowm an odious arid dangerous aristocracy. I think
> that we are freeingmore whites than blacks in Ten
nessee. I want to see slavery broken up, and when its
barriers are thrown down, X want to see industrious,
thrifty emigrants pouring in from all parts of the
Come on! v?e need your labor, ;your
s skill, your capital. ■ Wewantyour enterprise and
invention, so that hereafter Tennessee may rank
with New England in tho arts and mechanics, and
that when we visit the Patent Office, at
tion, where the ingenious mechanic© of the free
States have placed their models, we need not blush
that Tennessee can show nothing but a mousetrap,
or something of about as much importance. Come
on ! We greet you with a hearty welcome to the
soil of Tennessee. Here is soil the most fertile in
every agricultural producfcjadelightfulan&healthy
climate, forests, water-power, and mines of inex r
haustible richness; come and help us redeem
Tennessee, anctmakc her a powerful and flourishing
State.
But in calling a convention to restore the State,
who shall restore and re-establish it ! Shall the
* rimn who gave his influence arid his means to de
stroy the Government] Is he to participate in the
great work of reorganization! Shall., he who
brought this miseryupon the State be permitted
to control US destinies. If'this bo so, then all this
precious blood of our brave; soldiers ami officers, so
ireely poured out, will have been wantonly spilled.
All • the glorious victories won by our.noble armies
will go tor nought, and all the battle-fields which
have been sown with dead heroes during this rebel
lion will have been made memorable in vain. Why
all this carnage ami devastation] It was that trea
son might be put down and traitors punished.
Therefore I say that traitors should take a back:
‘seat in the work of restoration. If there be but
five thousand men in Tennessee .‘loyal to the Con
stitution, loyal to' freedom, loyal to justice, these
true and faithful men should control the work oC re
organization and .reformation absolutely. [Loud
ant! prolonged applause.] I say that the traitor has
- cerised to bo a citizen, and r iri joining the rebellion
has become a public enemy. He forfeited his right,
to vote with loyal men when he renounced Ids citi
Zensliip and souglit’to destroy our Government. We
say to the most honest-and industrious’' foreigner
who comes from England or Germany to dwell
among us, and to add to the wealth of tho country,
"Before you can be a citizen you must .stay
here for five years.” If. we are so pautious
about foreigners, who voluntarily renounce their
homes to live with us. what should we .say.-'
to the traitor, who, although born and reared
among us, has raised a parricidal hand against the-
Government which always protected him! My.
judgment is, that ho should bo subjected to a severe
ordeal before he Is restored to citizenship. A fellow
who takes the oath merely to save his property,
and denies tho validity of the oath,' is a perjured
man, and not to be .trusted. Ileforo these repents
ing rebels can be trusted, let them bring forth/the:
fruits of repentance. He who helped to make ali
these widows and orphans who draper the streets
oiV Nashville in mourning, should suffer for his
great crime. The work is in our own hands. Wo
can destroy this rebellion. With Grant thundering
on the Potomac, before /Richmond, and Sherman
and Thomas on their march toward Atlanta, the
day will ore long bo ours. Will any madly per
sist in rebellion? Suppose that an equal, number be
Slain in every battle, it is plain that the-result must
be the utter extermination of tho rebels. Ah, these
rebel loaders have a strong personal reason for-hold
ing out tosave their necks from tho halter. And
these leaders must feel the power of the Govern
ment. Treason must be inaue odious, and traitors
must bo punished and impoverished.. Thoir great
plantations must be seized and divided into small
" larms, and sold to honest, industrious men. The
day for protecting the lands and negroes of these
authors of rebellion is past., : It is high time it was.
I have been most deeply pained at some, things
which have conic under my observation. We get men
in command who, under the influence of flattery,
fawning and caressing, grant protection to the rich
traitor, while the poor union man stands out in the
cold, often unable to get a receipt ora voucher for,
bis losses. [Cries of “ That's so!” from all parts of
the crowd.] The traitor can get lucrative con
tracts, while the loyal man is pushed aside, unable
to obtain a recognition of, his just claims. 1-,-am
telling the truth. I care nothing for stripes and
shoulder-straps. -I want them all to hear whafcl
say. 1 have oeen on a gridiron for two years at the
sight of these abuses. I blame , not the Govern
ment for these wrongs v which are the .work of weak
or faithless subordinates. Wrongs will -he
committed under every formof government
•arid every administration. For mysolfi I mean
to stand by the Government till the flag of the
Union shall wave over every city, town, hill
top, and cross-roads, in its- full power and ma
jesty; The nations of Europo aro anxious for
our overthrow. France , takes advantage of our in
ternal difficulties and sonds Maximilian off to
Mexico to set up a monarchy on our borders. _ The
day of reckoning is approaching. Tho time is not
far distant when the rebellion will be put down, and
thon we will attend to this Mexican affair, and say
to Louis Napoleon, " You can set up no monarchy
on this continent.’? [Great applause.] An expedi
tion into Mexico would bo a sort of
tho brave soldiers who are now fighting the battles
of the Union, arid the I’renoh concern \vould qulck
lv be wined out. - Lot its bo. united.-, I know that
there art* but two parties now, one for tho country,
and the other ngaimfe it, and/ am tor my country.
I am a Democrat in the strictest meaning of tho
term. I am for this G overnment, bocause it is de
mocratic—a Government of the peoplo. I am for
nutting down this rebellion,/ because it is war
against democracy. ’ Ho who. stands off stirring up
discontent in this higgling about negroes,
is practically in the rebel camp, and oncouragos
treason. Ho who in Indiana or Ohio makes war
upon the Government out of regard to slavery is
just as bad. The salvation of the country is now
the only business which concerns the patriot.
In conclusion, let us give our thanks, not formal,,
but heartfelt; thanks, to those gallant officers and
soldiers who have come to our rescue, and delivered
us from the rebellion. And though money be ex
pended, though life be lost, though towns and cities
be desolated. Jot tlie war for tho Union go on, and
the stars and stripes be bathed, If .need be, in a no-'
lion’s blood, till law be restored and freedom firmly
established.
Governor Johnson retired amid loud and con
tinued cheering, and the largo crowd dispersed |o
their homes. : r .

that the man is the only platform worth.considering.

the authority of the Constitution and of an act of

an outlaw to the world and an enemy to the rape*
“ an abandonment of the right of asylum dear to all

An Anti-Slavery Experience.
. Gen; HichardJ. C%lesby, the Union candidate for i
Governor of Illinois, in opening bis canvass at Chi
cago last Friday evening, gave tlie following touch
ing reminiscence: .
; Way X indulge myself for a moment to-give you.
a few of therea-sons why I became an anti-slavery
man! [Yes, yes.] . I know, that what affect 3 the
character of any one man in the country is of but
little consequence ; still, it was a big thing with Me,
and controlled all the future thoughts of my life—
made me honest on the question—made me purely
honest. My father was slaveholder ;he had a
wife >and eight children, and—only one negro—
[laughter]—and identified himself with the institu
tion of slavery. He .was a Virginian born, living
inKentucky, a cooper by fcrade. A negro fell to
Ills lot somehow, with other things, from his father’s
estate. He took that negro, learned him the Carpen
ter’s trade, ho lived in the family, while all tho
children were being bom he nursed us, took caro of
us, led us by the hand, and Ihther {so I am tokl, and
I believe it’s true) never gave him a lash-or lick, or
any unkind word; [Applause,] He was one of the
noblest black men I have ever seen. After a while,
in the course of events, mj parents died, and left us
poor—very poor. X was eight years old. I saw that
negro put upon the stand, and sold off at auction.
Tliat did nob concern me. very much. X scarcely
knew what it meant. I saw those who were my
friends—whom I loved dearly and still love—l saw
them about it, and supposed as a boy that it was all
right. That negro came often to see us, as he was
taken away only eight or ten miles.. He was then 40
years of age, Shortly afterwards, a son of the pur
chaser, iu the wrath and fire of the moment, exposed
his old bare back and gave him one hundred
deliberate lashes. The news came to us children
through my married sister, that sad story of how old
Uncle Tim had been treated. Something settled hold
of me then, young as X was, and I made a resolve,
for a boy, of quite a serious character—that if
. in the providence of God X grew up to be worth any
thing, enough to buv him back to would
do it. ; His master, f presume, was they
generally are. It is not the owner of a slave I am
abusing, but the Institution. I aui striking at some
thing higher than a man, the system. Time passed
on, and I remained poor. Finally California be
came the rage, and I went there. I got together
money enough to come back home and go to Ken
tucky. I kept my promise: 1 bought him and sets
him free, and I then swore eternal vengeance on the
institution of slavery.
The Tragedy at Fishlcill,
[From the Poughkeepsie Eagle, June 14. ]
Yesterday morning about 10 o’clock we received
a special despatch from Fishkili Landing, announc
ing that two children had been murdered by their
mother In that village, the same morning about S
o’clock We immediately sent a reporter to the
scene, who brings us the following account of the
horrible affair:
The village.of Fishkfll Landing was thrown into
a state of intense excitement this morning, by the
news that Mrs. Mary Miller, of that village, had
murdered her two children. It seems that ter some
time Mrs. Milter had been afflicted with a kind of
melancholy insanity, from which Dr. Boil, her at
tendant physician, 'feared bad consequences, ami
had warned her husband that something of this
kind might be expected, and advised sending her to
an a*vlum. but her husband hesitated about taking
such a step, and hoped ter her recovery.
Yesterday morning- Mrs. Miller, -dressed her
children, had given them.their breakfast, and put
the Youngest one, named Caroline (a babe some
eight months old), to sleep, and had seat the eldest
(Jessie), aged some seven years, to watehlier. The
youngest soon commenced crying, and she went up
stairs to take care of it;, but in the. meantime
slipped her brother’s rator out of Us case and car
ried it up stairs with her. Mrs. : Games, her sister
in-law, hearing a noise, wont up stairs to see what
was the matter, and found the babe lying on the
bed with her throat cut on the left side, and liar
mother.bending over * her with her throat eut. The
oldest child was found lyimrin adjoining room also
with her throat cut aiiddeai!. This happenedabout
7.30 o’clock in the'morning.
Dr. Bell was immediately called, and when he ar
rived both children wfcre dead, anu the inbtker lying.
insensible on the floor. -
The eldest child had the carotid artery severed on.
the right sido, and the younger child the same ar
tery on the left side, causing instant death. The
mother had both juggler veins severed and her wind
pipe cut in two; iniaot, her throat was cut from car
to enr, with a gash as largo as a man’s hand. She
is still alive, and some hopes are entertained of ker -
rccovcry.
Her husband was doing business in New Ynrk and;
was absentat the. time, “but was immediately tele-,
graphed to, and has since arrived at the scene oi tins,
to him, sad tragedy. , , . • ....,
She had often expressed the wish thnther children
would die, as she was oppressed with the belief that
she was going to die, and wanted them with her in
heaven and when Dr. Bell first attempted to dross
her wounds she refused, and ,sai(l that her children
were in heaven and she wanted to go there too.
The Nation says it is authorized by Dr. O. A.
Brownson to state: “Ist. That; his Ilevimv is en
