Steve . tenant's Victory
I once called on my friend, Steve Co
nant,- aad while there the. - colivetsation
turned on courtship ; and at my request,
the old gentleinan.to4l me an incident in..
his own love affairs, which I give in his
own words:
"Wall; 'seeing yed, I 'don't mind
telling about a scrape that happened to
me wizen I ,was courting Nancy here.—
that are is something that I never tell,
anybody., But ye shall,hear AO"
"No, don't Steve," broke in the old
woman.; ."I should think you would- be
ashamed of yourself, telling your love
'scrapes to everybody." •
"If, you can't bear to
.hear it, you may'
go out doors—so hoar goes! Whoa I
was nigh about twenty-one I came up
here, all alone, and built me a cabin. I
,hadn't a naber nearer than five 'miles, so
ye see, I didn't quar,el much;' but as it
grew to he near winter, I got kinder lone
some, and begua to think that -I ought to
have a woman to keep me company ; so
one morning I started down s to Lenway,
to take r a look 'at the girls, to see if I
could see one to suit me., When I got,
down to the settlement I asked a yeune
chap if he knew of a girl that wanted to
'het mar s
ied and he told me that Ihe guess
ed that Nancy
,he
did, and if II wanted
a wife, I had better try and hitch on with
her; and he said that if it was agreeable,
he_woultigo,topeaeori Knox's and make
we acquainted with Nancy, and he was
as good as his word, and %wasn't an hour
afora,Naney and I was on the best of
terms: 'Afore night hired outlwitb the
deacon for ten dollars a montif,l half of
the pay to be. taken in produce,land the
rest in clear cash : and I was tol work all
winter. Wall, for about two months I
felt as neat as a mouse in a new cheese.,
I courted] Nancy' every Sund4 night,
and.' ma determined before another
month to pup the question, and I hadn't I
a bit
,of doubt but what Nancy would be
Overjoyed 'at 'becoming rtip bosom coin-1
panion. Well, about this time there,
came . a fell3w from one of the lower towns
-to keep 'school, and he hadn't been there
more'n a week afore I found he had a I
natural hankering arter Nancy; and worst
of all, the - old deacom, who had seemed
mightily pleased at the thoughts of my
courting his girl, begun to kinder cool off,
as if he weuld,like.the schoolmaster bet
ter for a soe , in=law, and - it Made me feel
kinder down in the lip, I can tell you.
Wall, one Sunday night, Bill SMith, for
that was the,p,esky pritter's . name, came
in just at dask;and When the clock struck'
nine he didn't seem ready to go Old
Mrs. Knox and the young uns all ,went off
to bed, and 'there were none left but the
old deacon, Bill, - Nancy and I, and there
we all sat around the fire; without say
ing a-:!ord.. Always:•afore • the-deacon
had gone off to 'bed; and left the coast
clear for Nancy and I, and I kept 'specs
iag every minite that ho would show Bill
to bed, but lie did-,no such thing; but
jest as the clook strtielt ten he tie up, and
sea he : '

at this I up and marched out into the en.

Insurrection as, a Weapon, ,ofl
VVar.
. The London Army and Navy Gazette,
edited by William H. Russell, thus ef
,fectually disposes:of the outcry of rebel
sympathizers, abroad in reference to the
"inhutnatiity", of 'employ . ing negroes in
the service of the nation : •
"There is,a journal in this metropolis
which is the reputed organ of the Confed
erate States. At all events, the paper
has decided southern proclivities. In the
last. number it is, asserted that. civilized
nations will think death by powder ;and
ball 'is too respeetable ; for men guilty of
an attempt to incite rn inferior race to in-.
surrection.' The allus;on arises from a
report that federal officers of .a certain
negro regiment, which is said to luive
been taken in Florida, had been sentenced
to be shut. This paasage.is one of many
proofs that the Americaus cannot com
=prehend the feelings of this country ,it
may-be of any otherregarding the, war.
The uprising of a portion of an enemy's
subjects, inferior or superior in race, its a
desirable object to effect—it is quite a
legitimate operation of war. If Great
Britain were engaged in a war with
France 'nothing would be more natural
than for -our enemy to excite Ilindoo,
Mussuiman or Arab to revolt. No rule
of warfare would permit 'us to treat offi
cers engaged in that service otherwise
than .as men conducting a legitmate dper
ation. It is, a necessary evil of a war, in
which servile insurrection may be invoked, i
by an invader, to increase the ordinary
horrors and calamities . of hostile occupa
tion. When some years ago southern
statesmen, insolent and aggressive, threat
ened this country with war, it was re
marked over_and .over again, in British
journals,
_that the despatch of some of
our West Indian regiments: to Louitiana
,or the Carolinas might be one of the most
formidable agencies to which, even out.
vast belligerent power could resort. Our
southern friends .must carry the whole
weight of shivery on their shoulders; in
peace .or in war. - It would be a repetition
of the Indian revolt of 1857. An infe
rior rape would rise against their masters.
But it is an accident and a contingent of
any war in which a state of slaveholders
engages. The officers who develop it are
as free from any act of vengeance or re
taliation' as. those , who fight on the deeks
of their ships or in .the lines of their reg
iments,"
:AjIEROIC KENTUcKY , MATRON.—^A
letter from'StanfOrd,Kentuoky,te the Cin.
einnati Commercial, narrates the follow-
incident
'When Pegram's men were in Lances
ters, Garrard county, one of his officers
and a' squad of men rode up to the house
of Colonel Lendrum, then absent in the
Union army, and ordered his wife to get
them a meal:: She told. them flatly that
she would not do it. They then -threat
ened to burn 'her house if she persisted;
to which she heroically replied, 'Then
apply
,the torch take my children
auci leave, forll will not prepare you food,'
adding that she thought they would find
a brigade of men to apply the torch, also.
Stunned by . , this . unlooked for courage
and defiance of an unprotected 'woman,
they deemed it better not to carry their
threat into execution. The'allusion to. a
brigade Of men was.understood by them
wheci it became knoirn that her husband
was• than-in-ocimmand of-a brigade in the
federal army.?
A Revidutio'nary
"They that - take the sword shall perish by
the sword." • ' -
Soldiers and Count wmen' We have
met this evening perhaps for the last time.
We htive shared' the toil of the march, the
peril ot•the fight, the dis May of the -re
treat---alike we 'have endured 'cold and
hunger, the contumely of the internal foe,
and outrage of the foreign oppressor.—' 7
We-have set night after!night beside the
Same camp fire, - shared the Same toug,h
soldierW fare;'w - ii have together heard the
roll of the reveille, which 'called us to
cluty, or: 'the beat of the tattoo, which
gave the signal for the hardy sleet:lo the
soldier, with the earth for his lied the'
knapsack ler his pillow. : •
And, now soldiers and brethren, we
have met in the valley, on the eve of bat
tle, while the sunlight Fs dying away be
hind yonder heights, the sunlight that
tomorrow morn, will glimmer on scenes
of blood. We have met amid the whiten
ing •tents of our encamptuent3.in times
of terror and gloom, have tVe,•gathered
together—God grant it, may not be for
the last time. •
It is' a solemn. moment. Brethren,,
does not the solemn voice of nature seem,
to echo the sympathies of the hour? The
flag of our country droops heavily froin
yonder staff, the breeze: has died away
along the green plain of Chadd's
Ford—
the plaits that , spreads before, uS glisten-,
log in sunlight-she heights of ;he Bran-,
dywine arise gloomy and grand beyond ,
the waters of yonder stream, and all
tura holds a pause of solemn silence, on
the eve of the uproar of the bloodshed
and strife of to-morrow.
!"They that take .the sword 'Sb.all ; perish by
the sword."
And have they not taken the sword ?
Let' the desolate plains the blood
stained valley, the -burnt • farm-house
blackening. in the sun, the sacked village
and' the ravaged town, answer let the
whitening bones of the blitchered farmer,
strewn along the; fields of his homestead,
answer—let the starving mother, with
the babe clin,ging, to the withered breast;
that can afford no sustenance, let her an
swer, with the death-rattle mingling with
the murmuring tones,'they mark the last
struggling for life—let the dying mother
and her babe answer I , -
It was but a day past; and our land
slept in the light of peace. War was not
here—wrong was not here. Fraud, and
imisery, and want, dwelt not among us.,.
From the eternal , solitude of the pent
woods, arose the blue smoke or the set- 1
tier's cabin,' and golden fields' of corn
looked forth from amid the waste of the
wilderness, and the glad music of human
voines'awoke the ilence of the forest. •
Now ! God of Mercy behold the change!
—under the shadow of al pretext udder
the sanctity of the naine•of God, invok
ing the 'Redeemer to their aid,
,do these'
foreign hirelings Slay our people! They'
thiopg our towns; they darken our plains,'
and now. they encompass our posts,on• the
lonely plain of Ch'add's Ford. .
"They- that take the sword shall perish by
the sword."
Brethren, think Imo not unworthy oft
belief, when I tell you that.the doom of
the British is near ! Think me not vain,
when , I tell you that beyond the clona l
that now enshrouds us, I I see gathering,
thick and fast the darker, cud and
the blacker storm' of a Divine Betribii
tion !
- They may conquer us on tomorrow !
—Might and wrong may prevail, and we
may be driven freru this field—but the
hour of God's'own vengeance will come !
Aye, if in the 'ram solitudes of eternal
space, if in the heaa of the boundless
universe, there throbs the heingsof un aw
ful God, quick to avenge, and, sure:to
punish guilt, then will the man ; ,' George
of Brunswick; called King,-feel 'in Mill

the eternal Jehovah ? A blight will be.
