Sr A letter from Nashvillo says :
"The hardest fight the Union men hero in
Tennessee havo 'u to defend themselves
against the infernal machines sent down
South in the shapa of Abolition speeches
and astion in Congress."
True. The Albauy Argus truly says
that tho man who cannot hold his political
abolitionism iu abeyance, in a time like
the present when ho knows that it can on
ly add to the bitterness of the strife, and
when ho knows that emancipation doctrines
cannot bo pushed further, without infring
ing on Constitutional limits, is neither
Christain nor a patriot.

Chap leth Virsk.
I havo lived solitary and alone long
enough. I havo been shutting myself up
in tho very walls.'and furniture of dUcon-
tcnttncnt and inisory.
A thousand tears
havo I shed in my lonely chamber, a
thousand times havo I made the assertion
"I'll get married" : at morning, at noon,
and at evening for tho last ten years, 1
havo never failed to assert that "Til get
a wife." Little do I know of tho sweet
communion; of tho value of her inter
cessions ; and of tho cxamplo as a chris
tian. I want somebody to talk to to
roason with kiss, and enjoy nuptial felic
ity. Thorcforo I am open to proposals
from young ladies aud lato widows of av
erage respectability and tamo disposition.
This is tho first time I havo mado tho
proposal in a public journal this I Jtnow
will bo called insensibility, or want of am.
bition ; but I care not for it, I am now an
aged and learned pilgrim. As nearly as
I can judge I will now describo for tho
satisfaction of applicants ; more my dis
position, than my looks, at tho same time
giving a brief history of a few years of
ray life ; and also the kind of companion
I desire. I am of middle size and finely
formed my features pleasing but strongly
marked had 1 a military hat and cloak
and appear on a noble ytccd before ba
tallions, my resemblance is such that they
would present arms, and senates would rise
to do homage. I will pass the various scenes
of myboyhood days when I used to go incom
pany to bo complimented for my.benuty,
and Gnd n.yself at college. My noblo and
commanding form, urbanity of manners,
and diligence in study, soon won me the
esteem of faculty and students. During
the first year I hold a high rank in my
class and jjavc promise of eminent useful
ness. Dut you know that collego life
severely tests a young man's principles.
It id a state of exposure and trial during
which no youth is safe without devoted
piety ; a security which I am sorry indeed
to say that I did not then nor do I now
possess. I formed unfortunate connexions
the effects of which were soon apparent.
I was admonished of my danger, but
seemed as if spell-bound by some faeina
tion from which I could not escape.
After repeated admonitions and fruit
less efforts to reclaim mo, I was dishonor
ably expelled from Collego a drunkard !
On this occasion I burst into tears and
started for my home in thecouuty of C .
I ho report of my expulsion from College
and the cause of it, blasted tho high-raised
expectations of all my friends, and soun
ded in their ears like tho death knell of
all my prospects and hope.
On my arrival homo, 1 was told of my
! talents being wasted my time- misspent

, now a most majestic man ; was early in-

Arabio and Spanish languages, in which
I have siueo made very great progress. I
can now whistlo "Yankeo Doodle" in
French, play tho fiddlo, banjo and jews
harp in Spauish. I am eloquent, learned,
aud esteemed wiso ; yet ignorant.of God,
my foul is a habitation too narrow for his
cutrancc.
It is a lamcntablo fact that I am ex
ceedingly ill-tempered. I am a profoss
ionablo gentleman, with an, unlimited in
como, which shall bo freely shared with
mv wife for dress and display. I havo a
thousand good qualities, and somo very , knowlcdgo of a matter incutioued in tho
bad ouch. I havo brilliant expressions of ! African Republican of a week or two ago,
lovo ; yot thoso persons most intimately I take occasion to say that I kuow tho ns

rronoral nourno in lifo is cxnrcssivo of ua-

I indulgo in a litigious spirit ; will dobato
cvory poiut, and havo tho last word about
straws. I am .particularly liable to occa-
sions which excite nn unruly temper. I
I am jealous terribly jealous ; should
I see a man talking to my wife I would
consider myself rivalled, then I am very
sullen and indifferent. I as often express
my auger, by an obstinato sileuco as by
and ungovernable clamor. I havo a hap
py faculty of taking wrong for right. I
havo no pationco with childron ; thoy aro
moro intolerable than a company of dutch
Smokers. I am very fond of idleness
gaming and especially at cards and ten
pins.
Ever eager to desert homo, and when
there maintain authority like tho domin
ion of an unlimited monarchy ; and the
iron rulo of an austere tyrant,' as to tho
di-posal of property ; 1 don't caro how
much money a wifo brings ino ; how 111.1113'
icorklly goods or how much she helps to
acquire I must dispose of it nil, I will not
eit sido by sido with my wifo in a mixed
compan3. I claim to profess tho clean
right of exercising control ovcr my wife's
tongue if necessary. There is no decep
tion in mo ; I can novor make lovo to the
mother by kissing her ugly brat and call
ing it pretty. I cannot play with children;
I cannot feed thorn and put them to sleep.
I talk a great deal but never to tho point,
I disohargo too quick to take good aim.
Tho inmates of my room say that I snoro
in my sleep. Tho shoemaker tells my
neighbors that I wear boo s No. 10. With
this impartial description who has an idea
of becoming my companion. Fearing a
willingnc.-s with too many, I will further
say that no ono need apply without first
being a school teacher ; a lover of homo ;
of flowers ; and of children. A beautiful
face is uot required ; but christain piety ;
or genuine religion. Knowledge softened
with complacency, and good breeding.
Must possess great influence ovcr ihc
hearts of children. Must be entirely free
from affectation. When conversing with a
friend, your gestures aud words must be
free, 0333, and natural. Your form erect,
not loaning threo degrees from tho perpen
dieular, and stand as if wishing to go ; and
replying 111 a stytG aim touo ot a green
parrot to all that is said ; and a broad
stnro stamped on your visage like that of
an apo at a porcelain npp!o. Must havo
straight smooth hair any other color but
red. Also a good set of natural teeth
If a widow must never speak of tho good
qualities of hor first husband in m3' pros
enco. Must novcr poke your noso in an
other man's face, nor allow other men to
seo you safe homo from evening parties and
night meetings. Must bo willing if need bo
to forsake her own people and her father's
house, and give up the society of those who
havo been endeared to her from her birth
Must have a good system of family gov
eminent, and determiuiniug to adhere to
it. Indepcudctico and decision of charac
tor. Must never eat fruit pie with a knife
nor break eggs in tho egg cup at tho largo
end. I covet not wealth; but virtue, the
maiden affections; tho buoyant hope ; the
dovoted lovo ; these sho must give and
will keep thorn unsullied aud unstained ; I
will cherish them through life fcihe must
never spoak of the beauties and praise the

Sho must never treat mo with inattcn

silent in her own house and remarkable
for hor sociability elsewhere. Must never

For the Columbia Democrat,
Mr. Editor 1 Having somo personal
for a moment tho mcanucss of dragging
beforo tho publio, by any inueudo or in-
' tinuatiou, tho name of a person who 13
private citizen ; a slill lower depth is
reached, when the ehargo, however cov
crtly or openly made, is iu itself falao and
malicious.
Tho writer is awaro who is tho author
of tho report; and for a man who believes
as littlo in tho Riblo as Dr. John docs, to
put any faith in a man who ttcals tho liv
ery of Heaven to servo tho Devil in ; is
cortainly a curious spectacle. Curious as
it is however, it is porhaps just such a
combination a9 wo ought to expect.
Now the paragraph in tho African Re
publican stating that a citizen of this placo
Ronton, in Philadelphia, entered his nanio
by tho "initials"' only, was written by tho
Dr. and published by him without any
personal knowledge of tho subject and
whatever information ho had 011 tho subject
must have been furnished by another. If it
was not, then Dr. John published a false
hood knowingly ; and if it was, then tho
Informant of tho Dr. is an infamous liar
and can be so proven.
The Rcpub'tcan's assertion is untruo bo
its information derived from whero it may;
and tho mcudacity is only equalled by tho
morbid meanness, which seeks, becauso of
personal enmity, to abuso and slander a
private citizen through tho public press.
If such a thing must bo done however,
Dr. John's newspaper is tho proper vehic
le There tho lowest meanness finds its
evel thcro quacks, and hypocrites, and
abolititiouists mingle in sweet council.
Neither character nor rcpu'ation is safe,
where neither truth nor religion is respec

to which I belong, was in a fight for tho
first time. Wc made a charge at the en

two howitzers. The shot and shell
poured in on us but did not stop our pro
gress, until they were completely routed.
This force consisted of two regiments
of Infantry, four hundred of Cavalry and
one hattory. Our force was live hun

and fifty were near being captured. If
wc had not been there the whole train
would have been lost. This happened
about four miles from Hanover Court
House, Kent co Ya.
On the lotti. we advanced again, and
overtook the enemy at Baltimore Store,
wc then chased them to tho Cliicahoin
niiy river, and there they opened seven
batteries on us. We fell back and waited
until reinforcements came up, then skir
mishers wero thrown out, and wo skir
mished the woods, and found tho enemy
in force, and our riflo cannon was placed
for action and as soon as the shell burst,
tho .uemy returned the fire. Thoy shot
for three hours when it got too hot for tho
cncniy, and they look to their heels. As
the 8th Pcnn'a. Cavalry was the only
mounted Regiment there, wo wero order
ed to pursue the cneni)', and soon we
were on a full gallop when wc overtook
thorn. Thoy turned on us but all of no
use, so they retreated, and I could have
eaten my breakfast on their coat-tails.
There were somo of them that had lost
their coat-tails it looked as if it had
happened by running so fast, for they
havo done their share iu Virginia.
Wc aro now on the llottoin Rridgo
Road, and our pickets arc within five
miles of Richmond. On Saturday, tho
21th iust., wo had a hard light. Tho reb
els mado a'stand near were wo aro now
encamped. Tho fight lasted flvo hours.
Our loss was two killed and 20 woundod,
but wo routed tho eucmy with good success,
wo found 00 rebels in ono pile iu tho
woods, aud I saw a negro woman, who
said "dcy took wagon loads of dar ded
baok." I asked ,hcr if tho rebels run.
sho said ''gess dcy did, mass, an' doy say
dcy will lick do Yankeos too."
Yesterday our compauy was out on
picket duty, aud tho rebel pickets kept up
their picket shooting. Thcro was , ono
' picket kept shooting at our mounted men
, but could not shoot any of them, so ho
u and two othew, thought tlicy would creep
up closo, when ono of our men saw them
coining, so ho dismounted nnd ran into
somo bushes that wero closo by, and as
theso threo men raised up to shoot tho
men that wero still on post mounted, our
man in tho bushes fired too soon for them
and ho shot .the largest man through tho
right breast, ho fell, and hollowed as loud
as ho could. Tho other two run. Tho
poor wounded man got up, and wo told
him to como in, ho came, but in walking a
distance of fifty yards ho fell threo or
four times, Wo then sont for a stretcher
and carried him into our headquarters.
Ho was asked what ho was doing out in
tho bushes, ou his hands and knees. He
said his Colonel had sent him out to re
connoitcr. I asked him what regiment
ho belonged to. Ho said North Carolina.
I then told him their troops woro all call
ed in. He said ho did not know it. Ho
then told mo ho enlisted to fight for his
home and negroes. I asked his name and
ho told mo it was John Murphy,
Ho is the most impudent man I ever
saw. We asked him several questions,
and he would damn us, and say ''you
Yankees cannot whip the South." Tho
contents of his haversack was n small
piece of hoecakc aud a pioco of bacon off
the poorest kind. He also said they wcrcV
evacuating Richmond. John's wounds
arc such that I think he is dead ere this.
He said ho weighed about 170 pounds.
Thcro was an accident happened to Thos.
Welsh, of Compauy I. Ho was cleaning
his pistol and (it bciug loaded) went off,
and tho ball passed through the thiok part
of his leg, below the knee. It is a flesh
wound. Our regiment wa3 out skirmish
ing yesterday, and two of our men were
shot. Ono tho ball entered the sido of tho
nose aud coming out at tho back of his
head. Ho is still living. Tho other was
.. ,
shot through tho thigh, nis leg will be
amputated. Our regiment is in good
ucaiiu, aim tno men are eager tor tho
ugui wuicn is penumg ocioro lucnmonu.
It will bo a hard fight, or else none at all
Wo will soon bo in sight of tho Rebel Cap
itol. There was a flag of truco camo in
yesterday.
Thero will bo abundance of fruit in
Virginia. Apples, peaches, nnd cherries
plenty. Tho wheat is nearly fit for har
vest. To day it is pleasant thero is a
fino wind and it is very comfortable. Wo
havo just received marching orders and I
must hasten to close, for I think there is
somo fun ahead.

"Taking tho Responsibility."
President Lincoln somewhat ostcnta-
tiously addresses Congress a message, to
tako the responsibility of one of Gamer-
on's acts of administration. He is silent
as to the others upon which tho IIouio of ;
Representatives havo passed a virtual son- j
tence of impeachment. Rut ho has, by
appointing tbo condemned Secretary to
one of tho highos missions abroad, virtual-
ly assumed, also, his corruptions.
The Presidont 'took tho responsibility,'
also, of the arrest and imprisonment of
Gen. Stone, and of tho denial of a trial,
iu spite of tho evidence of his innooenco.
He is doubtless, as Chief Executive, re
sponsible for those acts; but wo bclicvo ho
was ignorant of thorn till they wero done.
Why. thou, doe3 he hasten to assmno a
personal as well as official responsibility,
in cases liko those? Ho may think that
thero is a popularity to gain, such as Jacl:-
son won, by boldly assuming tho consc -
quence of the acts of his administrate.
Rut Gen. Jackson 'took tho responsibility' ' as such conduct continues, liko Banquo's
in defense of tho Constitution, and in put- ghost, it will not down at their own bid
ting down and punishing gigantio corrup. ding, or that of tho editor of tho Cnlum
tion. That was tho differenco between him 4tv County Republican. Thoso Demo-
ang Lincoln.
Wo believo that tho President is tho
victim of men who surrounded hira, and wero "passed by as tho itllo wind." Iho
who aro drawing him into act.i which ho ! only and proper way to accomplish tho ob
dislikcs, and compelling him into n policy jcct t0. kick "politics" out. As a friend of
e .,,.. i . ,. r, tho Society wo trust this wi 11 bo tho rulo
from which his judgment and feelings alike ; n ..
recoil. Thoy will do acts and foroo him
to "tako tho responsibility," until ho finds
himself no longer the hoad of a Pooplc,
but tho chief of a small but. dangerous and
unprincipled faction ihat has ceased to look
for or desiro a restoration of tho Union, or
a continuance of tho Government.

The Aqricueturaij Society Aoain.
Tho editor of tho Repnblicati denies
that politics had anything to do with the
election of officers for tho Agricultural
; Society. A reference to tho proceedings,
which wo publish elsewhere, is a sufficient
refutation of this ca?iard. Every man of
them is of tho Republican stripe. Did it
happen so, Doctor, or was not tho wholo
thing understood, before the election camo
' off? Como, now, make a clean breast of
it. Any attempt to whito wash tho action
of tho Society, in this particular ; only
exposes their partizan action, tho moro to
tho publio gaze. e think tho managers
j of tho Society are doing moro than any
