•• This paper is no charm; 'lbut a foolish
rhyme which,l wrote —to tny atiame be it epo
ken—when a traveling deacon in the village, of
Karlsoopen. I chanced to call at this good wo
man’s house; she hospitably entertained me,
told me her troubles concerning the death o(
her calves and finding that she was ignorant
enough to take me for one skilled in magic,
because I had studied at Upsala, I took a pres
ent of live dollars from her, because my purse
Happened to be empty at the tiipe, advised her
to give the calves good milk hv-n mysterious
manner and wrote on this pape
The calf may be white, the cal jay bo red.
And if it’s not living, it mast be dead.
This nonsense the poor woman hnd carried
. hr her right-foot-shoc, believed herself to'be do
ing wonders with it for twenty years, and
might have been executed on her confess
ion for the crime of witchcraft, through my
fuoliehand inconsiderate frolic."
." It was said there was nobody in nil the
coon-house more difficult to convince of her in
nocence than the unlucky dam 4; but being nt
length persuaded by the arguments nnd exhor
’ tations of the bishop, she wen*, home satisfied
that she was no witch, and, together with the
-daughter-in-law who bad brouj ht her trial, led
a more jjeacnble life afterwaOs. As for the
bishop, he discovered through that incident
that the black and dreadful sib of witchcrafi
• was not so reol a thing as in his clerical zeal he
had imagined, and his exertions were hence
forth combined with those of a noble lady, far
jn advance of her time, the Com .less de la Gar
dee, to put down the peraecutiu v; It has been
already said that the tale ia authentic ; and En- -
giiah readers may be intere-ted in knowing
‘that the bishop who played etch an important
‘ part-in it was the father of Swedenborg, the
1 aeer of so many visions, and the founder of n
widely spread sect.
SOUTHERN PRINCIPLE.
, Lei the South talk until doomsday about the
high principle involved in thes*ivil War that it
has involved ns in, one factor (offices to over
throw that bragging assertion; -that is the Tact
that the South has a strong f? itipathy to pajy
inghonest wages for honest % Ibor. • The plan
'ters repudiated hired laborers’.and merely gave
their bondsmen hard work, Scanty clothing,
r tnisernble-hats, and an inaufi eieney of coarse
food. When tired of them, iy when wanting
money, they sold the miaerab e slaves, just as
•we sell cattle in the North. As to paying them
wages, oat of which they could.main tain them
selves, the South never did of the
sort.
3ln the eye-of the Constitution, one man is
'declared the equal of every other, man, with
•rights well defined—rights which the law de
fends. Bh( if the man’s color be .not nf the
standard white, he had no rights in the South.
Here, a man exchanges his tabor, of hand or
bend, for nn equivalent, the imount of which
Is defined by custom, by codtpeti/ion, and by
"tfie price of- the necessaries! of life which
stich amounts will purchase. There, the em
ployer always fixed the rates and mode of pay-'
mint, making both as easy to himself as possi
in’plain words, he kept bis slaves on the
'cheapest food, in miserable levels, with coarse
clothing, subjecting them to ,sreat 'labor, and
flogging them at will, in ori ir to get as much
work out of them ns th< r heavily-tasted
Strength could give.' All t ds, because these
poor, over-tasked, under-fed,, iapriciously pun
ished human creatures bad t dark colored cut
icle. What a mercy to some folks, that having
sandy colored hair was not e Jablished as a spe
cial reason fur making the) j slaves, and per
petuating slavery among thei 3, while the waters
run to the sea, and the wave; dash against the
shore 1 If a black skin mails'a man a slave,
why not a dark eyet J .
If the South bad originally been honest, pay
ing fair wages for fair work, it might hare, had
fewer acres under cultivation—it might have
raised less cotton, rice, or tobacco, but it would
.have had.a class of‘ prosperous laborers, what
ever their.color. They weiU ?n not to pay wa
ges, or any fair, equivalent. They battle now
for only one principle—to coijtinue the system
of Work without Wages. Ti Uis the principle
fur which they commenced o'id are continuing
this cruel war.—Press. I

■Mrs. Catharine Shepherd died at her residence
in Hudson City, within half a mile of where
she was born and bad lived all her life, at the
unusual age of one hundred kearfi, sis months
nnd fire days. She was it daughter of Jacob
Van Winkle, who was a defendant of the or-
iginal Dutch-set tiers, and was himself born at
South Bergen. Her husband, George Shepherd,
whom she survived twenty .years, was a sol
dier of. the Revolution, and her family were pa
triots of such a character as to have been , fre-
quently visited with the wra'tii of the British
soldiery. From the steeple (T the old chur-h
- at South Bergen, Mrs. Shep »erd beheld the
British fleet take the City of
New York, nnd not long after, she saw King
Geo.ge’s army march past- house
on its way to Philadelphia, yfhout this time
the British took possesion >f her father’s
boose—converting it intu an arsenal, and they
made an attempt to bang her father, because he.
would not disclose the whereabouts of money
which he was supposed to be possessed of. Af
ter swinging him from a beam in the house,
they left ,lflm for dead; but, fortunately, the
last spark had cut.fled, and bis life wag saved
by being cut down by the daughter who is the
subject of this notice. While.'the British were
operating in this vicinity, Mrs. Shepherd per
formed'one of. those heroic acts for which the
women of, those tryjng times were celebrated,
in carrying a message, under perilous circum
stances, to a section of the American army en
camped at Bellville, informing the command
ant of a designed attack upon his forces by the
British, and thus giving him-time to frustrate
their designs. Mrs. Shepherd’s remains were
interred in the burial ground belonging to the
Dutch-Reformed -Church, I: at Suuth Bergen, of
which church she has beep a member fur fifty;
three years. —Jersey Giiy Standard.

-SETSUtSBOHOITGH, PBEOM’A.I
WEDNESDAY, :; ; JANUARY 0, J 864.
"DE MOKTtriS,” &0.
The.postmortem arraignment of Pope Bon
iface YIU by Philip the Fair, was long be
lieved to bo without parallel in history. It.
earned for the Prankish monarch an unenviable
reputation for malignancy nnd purposeless
sacrilege.
That extraordinary proceeding is’ho longer
isolated in the annals of the world. We learn
by the papers that this bit: of history in some
sort repeated itself, not long ago, in the city
of .Cincinnati, and still more recently in Phil
adelphia. The occasion was marked by the
resurrection of the political dead of the earlier
days of the republic, and their asseinbling in
Convention for lhe.purpose 6f preparing a way
for transmigrating into the flesh nnd blood of
political power. In other words, these fossils
convened to devise ways and means to elect a
President in'lB64.
The historical parallel—we had ahnost writ
ten “ parallax"—lies in the exhumation of
Geo. B. McClellan, and arraying him once
more in the robes of life as n sort of “ lay
figure” candidate for the Presidency in 186-4.
Gen. McClellan is generally believed to have
departed this life on the 12th day of October,
1863, having first written bis own epitonh and
dedicated the same ‘to Geo. W. Woodward,
said to have been a candidate for gubernatorial
hooors at that time.
This fresh exhumation was unkind, not to
say malignant From his birth into public
notice down to bis dismissal from the public
service for disobedience to his superior officer,
his course was devious, hesitating, and painful.
We shall do him the justice to say that he was
more sinned against than sinning. Me was
caught up by villains and sought to be deified.
So jnuch was claimed for him that he dared do
nothing to manifest his skill and ability lest be
might fail, and thus destroy the delusion.
Left to himsejf—nntrameled by the crooked
counsels of politicians, Gen. McClellan might
have won imperishable honors, .as Meade,
Grant, and Butler have won them. But it is
his weakness to become a catspaw in the bands
of men. of more cunning and subtler intellects.
Tliis was the' rock upon which he was dashed
■ to pieces. . . •
After bringing' such deplorable ruin upon
him, it might have been expected, and with
reason, that bis slaughterers would leave him
to the unobtrusive repose of his political grave.
That he should be raised and “ put upon” a
second and third time seems the refinement of
crufelty. We can well believe what the vener
able Lycoming Gazette says in its notice of the
outrage, that " the nomination was without
consultation with Gen, McClellan." That that j
individual should have consented to the ar
rangement beforehand is not to be believed. :
That be should submit to it, is to be expected. |
Young, ambitious, rather obtuse in all things |
not connected with bis profession, no doubt he |
feels complimented,-perhaps even assured of d
nomination in the Peace-Convention of 1804.
It was proper that the Philadelphia fossilifer
ous Convention should have been engineered by
Amos Kendall. Amos, in common with th»
politicians of his era, had an eye to plunder.
He scented the carcass afar off, with the olfac
tories of a buzzard. His reappearance on the
stage reminds one of the ghost in Hamlet. He
will remain on the stage nntil elbowed off by
the Woods and Seymours. Then be will reap
pear in his character of patriot, and insert the
Kendall dagger under the fifth rib of bis old
comrades. So much for the Engineer of the
Philadelphia fossils.
It etrikcs .ua thpt patriots will not be found
convening and nominating presidential candid
ates, aud doing nothing else in this great emer
gency. Taking all the facts into consideration,
as far as human foresight can go, the great
battles of this war will have been fought before
the first days of summer. How much belter
would it be now, and bow much more honor
able will it appear in history, if these “ ancient
and honorable conservatives" will consent to
help accomplish the work in hand and leave
the presidential campaign to come onjn its own
good time ? Everybody knows what conserva
tism means. It is only another name fur sym
pathy with-the ■ slaveholders’ rebellion. Con
servatism can never win battles, and no conser
vative party will ever elect a president. No
conservative party has ever succeeded here, or
elsewhere. History ought to teach these gray
haired men something. .The right may lie be
tween the extremes of radicalism ; but theonlv
way provided to attain it is by the immutable
law of razing and building anew. That is—
whatever is evil must be destroyed and re
placed by its opposite good.
Tbs Herald, World, and other mischievous
papers, are beginning to talk of Gen. Grant as
a candidate fur the Presidency. The object,
uf course, is to slaughter that chief os Mc-
Clellan was slaughtered. That they are not
siacere is quite manifest—Gen, "Grantharing
declared for the overthrow of slavery and re
bellion at one and the same time. His manly
letter which we publish elsewhere, puts him
beyond the dirty woak of the northern rebels.
.They do not want such a man elevated to the
first position in the nation. He is ton much in
earnest —too much a foe to everything under
handed to suit the liking of such politicians.
We repeat, the selection of tho to be suc
cessful candidate for the Presidency in 1864
does not lie in the choice of politicians. They
I may propose, but as for disposing, that is not
‘their prerogative. Present Indications may
~ THE TIPOI
point to ’this,’that, or the! other man as'the
coming mafl. Butin these extraordinary times
the aspect of affairs, as well as the indication
of events,'cannot be fixed and constant'. What
nphearals may be experienced in ■ lhn~ months"
intervening cannot be guessed at. They may
be many, or few, or none at all. Butcircnm
stances will inevitably vary, and whether they
shall rule for this man or that, can be better
told next summer than now. We; have no faith
in.prophecy by politicians.. "We have faith to
believethat this great struggle was predeter
mined, and, that the Directing Power cannnot
be deposed by Fernando Wood, and all the
.powers’of darkness combined. ■
; When Sampson awoke to find his flowing
locks and his strength departed, liis astonish
ment and discomfiture could not .have-exceeded
that of the ohielf of the Peace faction at the
result of the firss test vote in the lower House
of Congress. The Pence journals had pro
claimedto the country that tbp anti-Adminis
tration strength in the House would be suffi
cient, to pxpreise partial'control of the legisla
tion of the session. The first test .vote scatter
ed their'pretensions to the winds, and left the
faction to subside into a helpless and wavering
minority. The,depravity of the Border-State
members was greatly overrated. - They proved
by their votes that the. leading men.of Mary
land, Virginia, Kentucky,"and Missouri, are
more truly loyal than the Woodward-Vallandig
hamites of the free States. This humiliating
fact bad.tbe effect to lower the tone of the fac
tious journals, and to break the pride and arro
gance of the northern rebels in Congress.
The defection of Fernando Wood on the
proposition to limit the appropriation of twen
ty millions for bounties to volunteers, to white
persons, is significant, as showing the. tendency
of popular feeling in his Congressional district.
Fernando Wood ia a trimmer. He watches the
tides and winds and trims his sails accordingly.
In no sense is he a leader of tbe people. He
simply follows the drift of public, sentiment.
His negative vote on the proposition alluded to
must"be taken in evidencC’of a radical change
in sentiment among his constituents. Evident
ly the employment of negro troops ia getting
popular with the substratum of New York so
ciety.
Thus, slowly, but surely, the people are forc
ing tbe cbiefsof faction into a support of the
war policy of the President. Sampspn has
submitted to tbe arbitrament of the scissor*,
and sits in tbe Capitol subjugated and lamb
like.
In reality, the negative vote of Fernando
Wood was a'vote for the extinction of slavery
in every border State. So tbe world does move.
Fbou all that wo can gather touching tbe
amendment of tbp Conscription Law, it does
not appear that much will be done save to con
solidate the classes and to patch up the loop
holes through which so many sons dependent
upon their fathers for support bare evaded the
operation of the law. The loose construction
put upon that clause In the law did more to
render the draft inefficient than any, or all
other causes combined. The law will be so
amended as to relieve • the parents of depend
ent children, and save the Provost-Marshal
General the trouble of construing it all. ■
WAR NEWS.
The news is mostly unimportant. Our for
ces took possession of the entrance to Lavacea
Bay, Texas, on tbe 30th of November. There
is no news from'the Army of tbe Potomac,
It is rumored that tbe draft has been post
poned to the 15th Inst., but we have no confir
mation of it.
The extreme cold experienced in this region
last week was vel*jf general, throughout the
country. Four persons were frozen to death
in Philadelphia.
Grant on Slavery.— Senator Wilson read
a letter from Gen. Grant before a meeting in
Philadelphia, last week. That great soldier
says:
“ I have never been an anti-slavery man, but
I try to judge justly of what I see. I made up
my mind, when this war opened, that the North
and the South could only live together in peace
as ono nation, and they could only bo one na
tion by being a free nation. Slavery, which con
stituted .the corner-stone of the so-called Con
federacy, is knocked out; and it will take
more men to hold the black race as slaves than
it would to put down the rebellion: and, much
as I desire to see peace, and 1 long for it, I am
opposed .to any peace until this question.of Sla
very is forever settled.”
A funny Mistake.—OlJ negro, slumbering,
with hia feet pointing to a glimmering fire.
Opens one eye, and gets a glimpse of them, ns
they stand up in the obscurity. Mistakes them
for two little negroes, and cries; “Gif fum
’fore me 1” and relapse into sleep. After a while,
opens the other eye, and still seeing the'intru
ders, says: “Gif fum ’fore me, I say; I kick
you in da fire if you don’t; I will, shu’ ” snd
again he snores. His dreams not being pleas
ant, he soon opens both eyes and still seeing'
the little pests, he draws up his foot for the
threatened kick, but is alarmed to see the en
emy advanced upon him and exclaims: “ Wha,"
where you comin to, now? Humph 1 rov own
foot by golly !” ‘
A company of colored Onion soldiers iaßonlh
Carolina, were recently attacked by a cavalrv
troop, but the latter were defeated', (a son of
John C. Calhoun being reported among tho
killed.) Bloodhounds were' sent after the col
ored men, but the hounds were met by and im
paled on bayonets—the soldiers bringing home
tho bounds on top of their “ shoulder arms !”•
A tou.vq lady in Chardon Wisconsin, has
just received a largo helping plaster for her
broken heart, in the shape of a verdict of §lO,
000 damages against the gay deceiver. It was
proved that the “ courtin’’ began when she
was *,* sweet seventeen,’’ it continued regular
ly for fourteen years. He then went to New
York and returned with a wife.
