COL. BASET' WHITE.
Col. Harry White was nominated as the
Union candidate for Senator in the Indi
ana, Cambria and Jefferson distriCt last
week, after a protracted but friendly con-
teat in the conference. Col. White was
chosen to the Senate in 1862 as the reg,n
kw Union candidate, he being at the time
a Major in one of the Pennsylvania regi
ments in active service in the Shenandoah
Valley. He took his seat in the winter of
1863 but did not resign his commission,
and after the adjournment, he promptly
rejoined his regiment then under Milroy
at Winchester. When Ewell, command
ing the advance of Lee's army; routed
Milroy, Major White, with a considerable
portion of his command, was captured,
and he was awarded the hospitality of
Libby and other rebel prisons. It was
obvious to intelligent politicians on both
sides that the then pending eleition would
return 16 Union and 16 Democratic Sen
ators for the session of 1864, and the sn-
premacy of the Union party in the Senate
depended therefore upon the return of
Major'White before the meeting of the
legislature; and it required no extraordi
nary amount of sagacity to assume that
, With the eleCtion over and the parties a
tie in the Senate, Jeff. Davis would be
slow to release a prisoner wlidWould - give
the predominance in the Senate against
his 'trusted friends. .Accordingly every
effort was made by the President and Sec
retary of War, in an indirect manner, to
effect a special exchange for Major White
before the election; but promptly as the
gOvernment acted in the matter, the De
moenry had anticipated it, and -Major
Whiee_was. doomed. Secretary Stanton
instructed the commissioner of exchange
to say to Mr; Ould. the rebel commission
er, that one Major White. a prisoner, was
wanted as a witness in a court martial case
—which was strictly true—aid any officer
of like grade, not charged with positive
violation of the rules of war, would be
given in exchange for him. The proposi
tion was made, in reply to which Mr. Ould
gave a laugh of triumph, and informed
our commissioner that he knew the value
of -Major White politically, and he was
not to be taken at any such odds. The
rebel government had been fully advised
that.the Senate would - be a tie if White
should be' retained, and Jeff. Davis was
just as much a party to the disgraceful
'revolutionary proceedings of the Democ
racy in the Senate in 1561,. as Hopkins,
Clymer & Co. Subsequently various pro
positions were made to esehange Major
White, but Jeff. Davis felt that his prize
waa too valuable, and he rejected all.
Even a Brigadier General, who was held
as a criminal, was offered, but no gradeiof
'officer seemed to be of sufficient import
ance:to the rebel powers to warrant them
in surrendering Major White, and thus
placing their ally, the Democracy, in the
minority in the Senate of Pennsylvania.
All hope of exchange tailed by means of
the ordinary channels, and extraordinary
expedients were resorted to in order to
effect Maj. White's release, or failing in
that, to get his resignation to Gov. Cur
tin. Parties in Baltimore who understood
the underground road to Richmond, and
made regular trips for a consideration.
undertook to communicate with Major
White, and offers were numerous to pro
duce him fora large amount of money by
subsidizing the rebel; officers; but they
were declined. His resignation was pro-'
cured, however, secreted in a pocket bible
and brought North, much to the mortifi
cation of the rebels andthe Democracy,
and at a special election they %were
_de
feated by an overwhelming majority and
the Senatf unlocked. Disappointed in
their purpuse to render:substantial aid to
the Democracy, the rebels visited special
vengeance on Maj. White, and he suffered
all the horrors possible for a man to suffer
and live. He made his escape threol times,
but was each time re-captured, did was
honored with a residence in the famous
' dungeon of Libby for some days, for his
pertinacity in attempting to get away.
At last his ingenuity "prevailed, and he
escaped by disguising himself and passing
North with acrowd of regularly exchanged
prisoners. He was promptly promoted by
Gov. Curtin to the Lieutenant Coloueley
acrd subsequently to the Coloneley of his
regiment, and breveted Brigadier General
by the President, in which capacity he
temlithed in active service. Until the war
was brought to a close by the surrender
of Lee. 7
=The Union men of hhs. district . have 4 ,
now rendered a just tribute to his person
al and political worth and to his great
privations for the cause, by his re-nomin
ation for Senator, and we hope to record
his election by a decid'ed majority. The
Union men of the district must not be un
mindful, however, that he is hated by the
Democratic leaders more than ihost - men,'
because of his worthy efforts while a rids
oner, to defeat Jeff. Davis's petty rebel
lioninaugurated in the Senate by reason
of his absence, and they will leave no
means or efforts untried to compass his
overthrow. Thin is. the only naturally
Union district in the - State they will con
test, and their efforts must bring out cor
responding efforts on the part of the Union
men to preserve their supremacy. Let
the character of the struggle be well un
•dorgood from the start. and the Union
mettof Indiana, Cambria and Jefferson,
fomdmed because fore warneil. will achieve
a &dare victory by the triumphant re
storation of Harry White to the scat in
the Senate which was lost to him by rebel
hate.. for his devotion to our common
Tarktm faa spirited contest now going
on at Washington for the Philadelphia
appointmeo.• Congressmen and Politi-
Ciana of all grades are involved in it, and
perspiring catidi4tes are to 'be met" at
every Omer in Philadelphia, and Wash
ingtoatrying to spread their sails to make
a little better time. We do not lmow, nor
do we care much, haw the contest shall
terminate ; but it is worthy of notice that
the Democracy. Which has been making
all sorts .of love to President Johnson,
don't have any candidates, and don't seem
to have any expectations. It President
Johnson is about to Tylerize the Union
party, he takes a queer way of showing it
by appointing none but decided Union
men, and supporters of Mr. Lincoln's ad
ministration, to office. I'Ve hope that in.
this as in other things, the Spirit still sees
much to admire" in President John
son's policy.
Wa record the appointment of Col.
Peter C. Ellmaker, of Philadelphia, as
Marshal for the Eastern district of Penn
sylvania, with greAt satisfaction. He is
eminently fitted for the position, and has
proved his devotion to the country's cause
by heading, a regiment and retiring from
active service only when e;oMpelled to do
so by reason of severe wounds received
in battle. He entered upon the duties of
the office on the Ist inst.
THE Washington correspondent of the
Tribune gives a detailed account of the
complications of Pennsylvania politics,
concluding as follows:
Curtin, it is reported, eiil go abroad, and Mc-
Clure run as his candidate for Gdveruor. Penn
sylvania is harill to understand in a political way.
and never more tithed up than now.
The foregoing• is news to at least two
men that we know of—viz : Gov. Curtin
and Mr. M'Clare. We have never heard
of Gov. Curtin going abroad, or wanting
to go, and if there is one man in the State
who more. than another don't mean to
run for Governor it is A. K. M'W'hu•e.
Tut: President has reappointed \Viii.
B. Thomas Collectof of the post of Phila

—The Proper Disposition or Jeff. Dasxs.,
Correspondence of the Franklin Repository,
WASHINGTON ellT, July 29, 1565.
The weather continues as hot as H—ayti, re
minding one of what the Dutchman said,of the
hot spring in Georgia as being specially applica
ble to Washington to-day: "Schott, drive on,,
h—l ash not one mile from dish blue,"
How the President survives the onslaught of
the politicians this weather passes comprehension, .
and - tile manner in which the assault is persisted
in proves the unselfish devotion to the country of
that numerous cl.•ass of patriots of whom the poet
has written—
" They lose their country and like lovers linger
So long or slat has cash for them to tinier.
They Wive their country ptitt thempeltnak w rul
Purloin her gold. puck upend run away."
The settlement, of the squabble for places in
Baltimore and Philadelphia " hasten slowly." At
the present rate of a&anco we may confidently
expect to have them all fixed by the time of the
next Presidential election, provideahe President
is not meanwhile 'driven crazy. He was over
heard to exclaiti-day in a fit of despair, "Great
Heavens! if there is so much trouble about the
offices in Baltimore and Philadelphia, what will
it be when it comes to Neu York,"
The military are rapidly leaving us and the rit3
resuming its quiet civic 'appearance. There i'
still a small tiriiikling of soldiers, to be seen and
occasioually a Brigadier General, but the latter
class are not so numerous as on'the evening hu.i
winter that the little boy told his• mother about.
Said he, "I was down to Willard's and threw a
stone-at a dog and I missed the-dog and hit three
Brigadier Generals, and," said he, "it. um not a
very good night for Brigadiers either."
The sway of military Aldspotisin in the capitol
of the "Model Republie will soon have passed
away forever. Copperheads will breathe easier'
and Geii. Augur be only remeinbered as a great
bore. There is a bright future for the Capitol if
her citizens will only wake to a realizing sense of
their true interests. There is 710 manner of rea
son why 'Washington should not outvie in „splen
dor the Old World Capitals, instead of being as
she now is, the biggest district, most incongruous
and worst governed city in the world. Let us
hope that under the impulse of Yankee energy
she will yet, "arise from the dust," "mend her
ways" and become as she ought to be, the Queen
Caul of the world. All ,that is necessary to
accomplish this glorious result we fully believe is
to just tear the whole thing down and build it np
in some other locality.
There has been a great deal of speculation and
anxiety at to the course the Clerk may pursue in
organizing the next House of Reptdientatives.
He is undoubtedly " master of the iiituation" and
possesses to-day snore political power than any
man in America. I have taken some pains to as
certain his views and am happy to be able to an
nounce that he, will be guided in hisaefions in
the matter entirely by the immortal principle of
the Kaiisas- . Nebraska bill which you know, so
beautifully adjusted our differences and saved our
glorious anion so nicely from the horrors of fra
ternal strife--that is, he ".will regulate the:affair
in his own way—subjick only to the Constitution
of the United States." , If any body can't see it in
that light he had better secede.
The proper disposition of Jeff. Davis has at last
been definitely settled. The government will or
ganize a special "star' court of which the father
of Ulric Dahlgren will be judge, and with twelve
of the Moist starved prisoners of Andersonville
for a jury, summon as witnesses the spirits of our
brave soldier boys who expired in the flames of
the hospitals which Southern chivalry burned
over their mangled forms, and if he should happen
to be cortrirted, they will order hint to be "hung
on u sour apple tree" and then just "let him alone"
there in possession of all his rights, which are two,
viz: the natural right to die and the scriptural
right to be damned. '.

demanded of the second officer in command, who
also refused ; but ou General Hatch explaining
that his conduct would be mutiny, while the Col
onel's world simply be disobedience of orders, he
proceeded to deliver the colors. A delivery was
made, when it was found that only the staffs and.
india-rubber covers had beenllelivered.
It was then. determined to disarm the whole
regiment, and other troops were brought forward.
Guns charged with grape and canister were train
ed upon the mutinous troops, and orders given to
tiro upon them in case any resistence was offered.
The Zouaves,-seeing all further opposition was
useless, quietly stacked their arms, and were
marched under guard to Fort Sumter to expiate
their crimes.

131PERINIL CITY.
Having a leisure hoar on Monday last we
strolled across the river, to take a "Peep" at 'ln'
perial City—a town on the opposite bank of the
:Allegheny, that is being built up with remarkable
rapidity. Over there once, mining with its in
habitants, on its streets, on the high ground in its
rear, we could very• readily 'comprehend the ori
gin of the phrase " cities were built in a day ;"
for the lumber-loaded teams were everywhere,
and the hatchet and saw kept up one intermina
ble roar. Industry and pi " aheadtiveness" ap
pears fo be a part of the being of all sexes and
conditions in that locality ; and We would not be
surprised at some future time to learn that the
occupants of Imperial bad been on a race to. see
who could do the most labor and who could accu
mulate wealth the fastest.
The city itself, we presume derives its name
from the Imperial Oil Company, the former own
ers of most of the land on which the town is built:
This company was organized, we believe, in De
cember, 1804, or January, 1865, Col. A. R. Mc-.
Clare of Chatubersberg being selected us its Pres
ident, E. 'IV. Davis, formerly Sueaker Tof the
House of Representatives of this State, as Treas
urer, and J. M Sellers as Secretary. At the or
ganization of tlie Company, it wait in possession,
in fee simple, of 120 acres of land lying adjacent
to, and what now comprises Imperial City, 100
acres in fee simple on Cherry Run, known as the
McFate farm, 40 acres in fee simple on Cherry
tree Run, 110 acres at Walnut Bend, and a
lease it short distance below Franklin. Besides
these the Company owned the working interest in
two producing wells on the Clapp Farm, near
this city. Vested with the ownership of all this
property,. together with the two wells above re
ferret' to, that were producing oil in paying quan
tities all the while, the company began operations
under the most favorable auspices ; and under the
management of George J. Balsley, Esq., a very
energetic and efficient Superintendent, it has gone
steadily forward improving and developing its ter
ritory until the present time ; and we believe that
now, in point of character and ability sit to offi
cer* intrinsic and acquired value of property, and
flatterring prospects generally, it has but few su
periors, as a company, anywhere.
Besides leasing lots almost daily to other par
ties, on one or other of their numerous tracts, the
company itself is eetniged in working several old
nenr as well as putting down four new ones in
Imperial City. The first of these is now down
508 feet, the drillers having passed through two
,veins of oil—one at a depth of 235 feet, the other
at 368 ferit from the surface. The second one is
1 down 387 feet, and has every indication of being
a good well, and of producing largely, as soon as
the proper machinery is applied to it. The sand
?.
pump was let dow twice in, our presence, and
both times came 1 '0 of a heavy quality of oil.
The other two are Ara put down quite rapidly,
and '..iftsin the next ten days, these four wells
will be properly tested, and there can scarcely be
a doubt but what some of them and perhaps all
will produce oil in paying quantities.
The Company has also a character for fair
dealing and liberality that but few organizations
of this character, and in this locality eau boast of.
Incidentally, we learned, during our visit to Im
fierier flint quite recently the Methodist, and Lu
theran etibgregationB had respectively been the
recipients of a lot of ground - worth some eight or
ten hundred dollars, troin the company, on which
'to erect Churches, and that another lot was also
' donated by them for the building of a school
house. Such liberality is rather uncommon in
. this part of the country-; and in this instance it
cannot but be seen that the Imperial Oil Compa
ny, while taking care of its own interests does
not lose sight of the interests of the public.
The territory of the company having been se
lected with great care and prudence, the officers
being men of acknowledged ability, integrity and
influeuee, and the operations of the company al
ready a source of considerable profit, cannot bat
eventually become one of the wealthiest, as it is
now one of the most liberal and enterprising or
ganizations in this 'locality.
DEADLY STRIFE BETWEEN RETURNED
- ANION AND REBEL SOLDIERS.
The Memphis Argus of the 19th inst. has an
account of a very sdrious difficulty which occur
red at a place called Rocky Springs, some twelve
miles south-east of Lexington, Tennessee, on the
evening of the Bth inst. By this unfortunate af
fair three men lost their lives;and seven others
were seriously injured, some of them, it is feared,
too much so to recover from their wounds. The
difficulty seems to have originated in the follow
ing manner: The people of Henderson were very
much divided during the war, and when the Union
force. catered Tennessee many of the young men
of the country Joined several regiments for the
Union army which were being raised. Among
them were several young men from the neighbor
hood of Rocky Springs. Recently these young
men have been mustered out of service and have
returned to their own homes. Those who went
with the secession cause have also returned. On
the Sth the people of the neighborhood concluded
to have a reunion and bury the hatchet. A pic
nic was got up add the whole population turned
out.' For a while everything went smooth, both
parties joining in a saw dust dance. Toward
evening; however, a very slight circumstance oc
curred, marring not only the occasion, but termi
nating fatally to three of the number. A young
man mined White, formerly a member of the Eth
Tennessee cavalry (Union,) asked a young lady
to join in the dance. The youdg lady, who had
lost two brothers in the rebel service, refused, ac
companying the refusal by some very unlady-like
and disparaging remark. To this White took ex
ception, and made seine very damaging remarks
about the lady. Her relatives and friends took
the matter up, while the friends of White gath
ered around him. Thus parties were divided, and
a bitter dispute arose, which ended in a regular
pitched battle, iu which pistols were used freely.
Mr. White was severely wounded through the
chest by a pistol shot. Mr. Wigton, of the rebel
Tarty, was shot through the head, and expired
almost instantly. Mr. Markham, of the Union
party, was also killed by a - pistol shot through the ;
breast, and Mr. Waylin, one of the young lady's
friends, was killed, having been shot four tunes,
through the abdomen, chest, shoulder and neck.
Several others were - wounded ; several of them
were murtillywounded. The Wounded, with two
exceptions, are Mr. White, George Chapin, Wm.
Finetro, Charles Simmons and Thomas Harrold.
The feeling in the neighborhood was very excited,
and it is feared other deeds of violence may oc
cur. Such scenes are much to be regretted, as it
has a tendency to keep society unsettled.
THE TREASTJBY ROBBERY
On the sth_of June, 1864, the Chief Clerk and
the Superintendent connected with the office of
the Secretary of the Treasury. addressed to the
latter a note, stating that one hundred bonds, par
tially prepared for issue, of $l,OOO each, were rnis
sing, and that be had exhausted all the resources
at his coininand in the endeavor to find them.—
As they had not been signed by the Register, or
sealed, they could not be negotiated. The coup
onS, however, amounting to $lOB,OOO, were sealed
and complete, and payable to bearer on the first
of Jantiary and July In each year, and could be
sold anywhere.
The Solicitor of the Treasury having employed
two detectives of the city, it was not long before
they fixed upon Wallace W. Whittlesey, a clerk
in the loan office of the Treasury Department, as
'the guilty party, hut it was not deemed advisable
to make the arrest until more conclusive evidence
could be obtained. Their suspicions were strength
ened by the fact that Whittlesey resigned his po
sition in December last, and was living sumptu
ously without ostensible means.
On Saturday last the detectives proceeded to
New York and captured Whittlesey near the
Western Hotel in Courtland street. He Confessed
- his guilt and stated to them where some of the
coupons were concealed, namely, in the chande
lier of his residence, where they were subsequent
ly found, but the Wilds had been destroyed. On
recovering all that was available of the stolen
prorty, the detectives took their prisoner rapid
ly to Jersey City', to catch the train. Whittlesay
quietly seated himself •in the car, but soon after
the train had attained its full speed he hastened to
the door; doubtless with the intention of jumping
off, but was pulled back.
Finding himself foiled, he endeavored to obtain
syniPailly from the passengers by accusing the
officers of kidnapping him. He was 'safely landed
here this morning, and conveyed to the police
headquarters.' Whittlesey Mid sold some X 58.000
worth of the coupons, and had made about $2,200
in premium ou the gold, but through his high style
of living, had no money when arrested. After au
examination he was committed in default of
$200,000 bail.— Washington Star, 26th alt.
A MAD MORSE
A large dun horse, formerly owned by Captain
SulevFry, and more recently by Snyder 47, Parker,
of the planing mill, was bitten some weeks since
by a dog supposed to be mad, A load of lumber
had been hunted to the stable in the rear of Mr.
Lingle's residence,on Ferry street, and while the
team stood in the alley, a dog, foaming at the
mouth, and evidently mad, run in from the east
end of the alley, passing within a few feet of Mr.
Samuel Favorite, who stood at his carriage -house
door:' The dog
,exhibited an divan - bon M bite
Mr. Favorite, but snapping at one of the horses
fastened his teeth and held Oil for soine seconds.
The horse was taken home immediately, a n d close.
ly watched for sym ptoms of hydrophobia, but
weeks having elapsed without developin g a n y in
dications, all Apprehensions were ftpeirm, un til
yesterday the horse snapped at Mr.-Parker vi
ciously, and bit him on the side.
.. . . ..
His clothing, fortunately, was thick enough to
prevent any laceration of the flesh. No other
signa of hydrophobia were manifest until in hitch
ing him up or unhitching him,. the animal made a
sudden plunge toward his mate, and bit bim on
killa
the side, drawing b nod. The wound is badly
swollen, and it is anticipated that this horse will
also go mad., The d horse grows worse hourly.
It is a clear case of h droptiobia- The horse
at the mouth, and ites at everything within his
reach. Hundreds of'our citizens have flocked to
Mr. Parker's: stable to-day to see the animal. It
will probOly be shot this evening.
James Hose, of the firm Case Bros., the well
known harness makers, relates a remarkable case
of hydrophobia which occurred in Lockport, New
'York, some years ago. A gunsmith named Brom.
ker, who always bad a lot of dogs about him,
while beating a bull terrier one day, was bitten
by the dog, and in about nine days went stark mad.
He was taken to the American Hotel in the place,
and, for about twelve hours was pinioned to his
bed. The paroxysms were frightful. The un
fortunate victim bit at the bed clothing, and, foam
ing at the mouth, presented a terrible appearance.
Upon consultation with the physicians and lead
ing citizens of the place, it was thought best to
drown him. A large bath tub was procured, and
the unfortunate man untied Mr. Case and three
stout men held him at antis' length, and, throwing
him info the bath tub, strangled him to death.--

LYNCH LAW IN MlSsongt.—A. letter to the
St. Louis RepublerAn, dated at - Sedalia, Mo., Ju
ly 20, says: C'
"A man named John Hill was killed on the"
north bank oT the Osage, opposite Warsaw, on
Sada, Inst. Irerstand he belonged to the
last bushwhaekin arty that surrendered at Lex
ington. Soon u er he surrendered he was ar
rested in Latityette county and sent to Warsaw
to answer a charge of having assisted iff the mur
der of a family_ who lived in Benton county. He
had a preliminary exammation last Saturday, and
was hound over to stand trial at the next term
of court. On Sunday night: while in charge of
the sheriff. who had hint under guard in his (the
sheriff's) house, he was seized by a party of moun
ted men, supposed :to number about forty, and
taken across the Osage. Some citizens of War
saw followed him and his captors to the river,
and remained on the south bank until the execu
tion WO over: The signal for Hill's death WAS,
apparently, a single .shot from d pistol, Which
was immediately hdlowed by a voliey hem near
ly forty rifles or carbines.
"The sheriff and a few followers then crossed
the thee, hut mum hearing a suspicious , noise
close by, they did not consider it expedient to
iienrch for the body right away. Aker -u while,
owever, they looked for and found it a short die
t nee from the river. Hill's executioners evi
dently-intended to make sure of their work, for
they shot between thirty and forty balls into and
through his body—u good many of the balls pass
ing into the ground, thus showing that they were
Bred after deceased fell.
"No one seems to know where the mounted
party came Irony; and the same mystery attaches
to-their departure. One circumstance rather in
dicates that they were, or had been, in military
service, for all of their movements evinced com
plete knowledge of cavalry tactics."

WASOINGION, July 2e, 1865.
Hon. W. G. Brownlow—l hope and have no
doubt you will see that the recent amendments to
the Constitution of the State as adopted by the
people, and all laws passed by the Legislature in
pursuance thereof, are faithfully and, fairly exe
cuted, and that all illegal voters in the approach
ing election be excluded from the polls, and the
election for members of Congress be legally and
fairly conducted. When and wherever it be : ,
comes necessary to employ force for the execu
tion of the laws and the protection of the ballot
box from violence and fraud, you are authorized
to call upon Major-General Thomas for sufficient
Iblvr to sustain the civil authorities of
the State. I hay,- recent address
to the people, mid think it well timed, and hope .
it will do much good in reconciling the opposition
to the amendment of the Constitution and the
laws passed by the last Legislature. The law
must be executed and the civil authorities sus
tained. In your efforts to do this, if necessary
Gen. Thomas will afford a sufficinet military force.
You are at liberty to make what use you think
proper of this dispatch. ANDREW JOEINSoN,
President of the United States.
VIEWS or• A SOUTIIEES GOVERNOR. Gov.
Johnson ; of Georgia, appears to be earnestly at
work.
,He speaks plainly . t6 the people, and his
utterances are as correct as could be expected
from a Southern man. He accepts thoroughly
the verdict of the war, and tells the, people they
must act according to the new ideas wrought
out. At Macon he concluded a very able speech
as follows:
It seems to be the order of Piovidenee in deal
ing with nations, as He deals with individuals,
that they shall be perfected- by sufferings. We
shall come out of this controversy a more glorious
and happy people. The presence of liberty will
be guarded among us. We shall remain a free
and united people. In looking down the vista of
time, I see Georgia ten-fold more prosperous, and
when all our sectional prejudices shall have died
away, we shall meet together, North and South,
as ltrethren, rejoicing under our Government, and
marching on to the glorious destiny which is be
fore us. - Not only will Georgia increase in wealth
and population, but the whole Southern country
will be more prosperous in arts, manufactures,
viealth, and civilization. I see them marching on
in this new order of things. The whole country',
united in the bonds of charity and love, must go
on prospering until this great nation shall be un
equaled by any power on earth. This is our coun
try ; these are her prospects To this standard I
invite )ou to rally.
PATRIOTIC TILL TM LAST.—While the bat
tle (South Mountain) was raging fiercely, among
_the many wouided whi7kwere brought off was a
man who had received a mortal wound, and was
evidently in a dying condition. As soon as he
was laid s down on the grass, I went to him to see
what could be done for him. Life's crimson cur
rent was ebbing fast away his face was ghastly
pale, and his eyes were already dim." Haase me
up—raise me up once more !" said the dying man,
earnestly but feebly. " Now—there—that will
do. Give me water—water—Water!" - Water
was put to his lips, but he could not drink.—
" Stop !" said he, seizing the tin cup with great
earnestness. " Here's to my country ! Here's to
the glorious Stars and Stripes! I die for my
country! Boys, never give up !" His lips gun ,
ered, and he fell back exhausted. That scene
will never be forgotten by those who beheld it.
There was something about itso thrillingly pa
thetic, so truly noble and grand, and yet so nat
ural, earnest and honest, that it seemed more a
scene than an event on the battle-field. 'He was
buried,' along with others, in the orchard near
which he fell. Over his honored grave will the
apple blossoms fall in fragrant showers of beauty,
hnd the summer birds will warble the notes.of a
holy requiem.—Lights and Shadows of Army

,
Washburne's oration at Portland, on the Fourth
of July, contains the %flowing:
"And that no example might, be wanting to ,
lllastrate the degeneracy ,of the times and the
perfidy of the public men, who, at such a - period
could alone occupy the high . places of ptemer, it
was found. that an administration of the people's -
choice -and representing what appeared to be the
average 6pialonntirsentirkent of the country,had
deliberately set itself to the Work;iiconcertwith
open traitors, of betraying anal destroying the Rev
ernmentit had beeriappointed and sworn to pre
serve. And so well- were its plans laid for the
accomplishment of this thOtiona purpose that
they could scarcely have failed, if not to accom
plish the end designed, still to haveproduced such
complications and given the rebellion such addi
tional advantages as would have", rendered the
preservition of the Union, if possible, a matt er of
vastly greater difficulty and cost than it has been,
had it not been for one of those fatal blunders
which, under the overruling hand of Providence,
men engaged in wicked enterprises are so apt to
make. We tremble when we think that the sal
vation of the nation's prestige andlonor, if not
of its life, and of the cause of free government
everywhere. depended upon the accident, as it
seemed. of the accession in the winter of 1861, of
Edwin M. Stanton to the Cabinet ofPresident
Buchanan. He made himself at once the ruling
spirit and the directing power of that false but
weak Administration, and by his own personal
strength which was 'as the strength of ten,' by
his iron will and his sublime devotion,- averted
that monstrous crime, that unuterable disgrabe,-
and that last calamity--disunion byeonsent of the
government itself."
END OF THE WAIL—From a capital editorial
in the Richmond Whig of the 29th, we make the
subjoined extract:
"Whatever a few interested individuals in our
own midst, or Winne radicals at the North, may
Kra to the contrary, the war is practically and
forever at an end. If there-is a single person in
any of the Southern States, who desires to renew
resistance to the National authority, he may be
set down as either a fool ar a madman, to whose
crazy utterances no attention whatever should be
paid. lint we hare not heard of a solitary in
stance-of the kind, nor do we believe_ that any
such exists.' So tar as the Southern people are
concet ned, all is peace, and an earnest longing for
cotinued and uninterrupted peace through all corn-
ESEI
11 civil strife ever again ensues, it will be
brought about, not- by the Southern people, who
are weighed down by untold calamity and suffer
ing, but by the citizens of other sections of the
I:nion, who have felt none of the distress es of a
terrible war, and who are, at the present moment,
revelling in all the comforts and luxuries which a
superabounding prosperity can command. It is
idle, it is absurd, it is criminal for any man, any
where, whether military or civilian, or whether
living in the North or in the South, to be. endear
ming to produce the impression that the slightest
tinge of a rebellious or refractory spirit prevails
among the people of the South. Such, a supposi
tion is alike unnatural, unjustongenefous, and of
a wholly mischievous tendency.
A COW DR INKS EIGHTEEN GALLONS OF
WNNICY.—The Trny Times, of Friday gives a
most remarkable ease of "beastly" intoxication?
It seems that on the upper part of Green Island
an illicit whisky still existed until yesterday, when
Marshal Kipp, Collector Woodward, and Inspec
tor Fake made a raid on the premises, and locked
up both the owner and the door. •A month ago
the distillery was in full blast. It was a !‘still"
night, and the man running the machine, who had
made eighteen gallons of whisky, put it out in the
open air to cool. Along came a' cow. She was
thirsty, and the beverage looked inviting. She
swallowed every drop—eighteen gallons of un
rectified whisky, warranted to kill at forty rods.
That Cow has been drunk ever since. She stag
gered home, and is now in the fourth week of a
grand old bender. The cow eats nothing: falls
down whenever they try to raise her up, and has
become as lean as a crow instead of a cow. : —
Whether the cow will ever get sober, or end her
life in a fit of delirium tremens, is a question we
shall look anxiously to see the solution of. Rio
really a remarkable case, and we should scarcely
believe it, if our informant was. not connected
with the telegraph, and, of course. perfectly reli
able.
GEN. SHERMAN'S VIEWS ON NATIONAL TOP -
les.—Xt a banquet given to Gen. Sherman at In.
dipapolis on the 27th ult., be made a lengthy
s r ,,,,eb in a response to a toast. Ho said that his
ancestors being the .on-faring
bated largely. to the importation 444,frican slaves,.
and he felt it. to be his duty to atone, as far as
possible, for the sins of his ancestorii:
He considered the slaves freed by the action of
the Secessionists, and that it was the duty of the
Government to protect and educate them. They
might, he thought, be colonized in Florida; and
admitted to a representation in Congress. He
opposed negro suffrage or indiscriminate inter
course with the whites His observations in
Mexico and South America had led him to the
belief that the whites must have the governing
influence. He believed Omnipotence had inaug
urated this rebellion to break down 'the legal
hedge which had protected slavery from the just
indignation of the civilized world. He thought
that many of the Southern States wouldvote to
ratify the constitutional amendment On' the
subject of the military power, be did not feel that
there was any usurpation, but that' when the ne
cessity had passed, he hoped that civil law would
resume its sway.
HON. ISAAC NEWTON, Commissioner of Agri
culture, has received a letter from H. B. Helper,
.tisq-, U. S. Consul at Buenos Ayres, containing an
offer from Mr. Libirn Pizarro, of Bolivia, to sell a
flock of two hundred alapacas, which Pizarro sug
gests would thrive well and become very profita
ble if introduced into the United States. These
animals each grow eighteen pounds of wool,
which for length, fineness and general 'excellent
quality is far superior to that obtained from sheep,
and is worth fully $1 50 per pound. They are
offered at the rate of $3 per head, delivered - et
Salta, in Buenos Ayres, or in any part of North
America, but as the Commissioner has no power
to make my such purchase, he will be obliged to
decline the offer, but is of the opinion that the im
portation of this stock would be highly profitable
to oar farmers, and would - handsomely reward
the 'enterprise of those who may introduce- them
on private account.
