THE aLonE,s wHIrE-wAsHER.

Speaking Of Mr.. Duncan's speech, in which
the Globe was white washed, that paper says
" II requires only bold men like him to beard
the Federal lion and meet falsehood with
truth" Why does not the Globe notice the
fasehoods stated by Mr.. Duncan, respecting
Major Garland, OF Virginia, which he met and
refuted with the truth, sustained by facts 7
Not one Of the tribe dare say single word
respecting that exposition.
But whom does the Globe refer 10 when
speaking of the Federal lion Is il to JAMES

The Express adds that the prelm.

APPRENTICES IN THE NAVY We
notice that the Ohio n is at n. York,
preparing for sea. Her crew is COM
posed Of about 500 souls, amongst
which is so boys rs apprentices. This
is the result of law passed by Con-
gress two years since. In our view Of
the matter we should think that II
should carry at least 100 boys in time
Of peace, lrlgate so, and sloop OF
war 20. BY this means fine body OF
hardy natire Seamen would be reared
in the Navy.
The recruiting naval stations are
now, we believe, taking apprentices ;
therefore an opportunity is afiorned to
those who may wish 20 place boys in
the Navy, to be brought up as seamen.

Mosr UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.--A
shocking case Of abduction and practi
cal amalgamation has been ferreted
out by our Police, which is striking
illustration Of the horrors of abolition,
and should induce every man Of feeling
and character to set his face against
every attempt making by the fanatics
Of this country TO establish their alb
horrent doctrines. Intelligence was
brought TO the Police that in horrld
den of vice, filled with hundreds Of
what are called free negroes, in Antho-
ny street, there was genteel, modest
looking white girl living in very sus-
picious manner with black fellow,
and that they had been in the den for
about three weeks, and were reported
to belong to Westchester, Pennsylya-
MIA.
Justice Elorson suspecting that there
might he in this unnatural alliance
something of foul play, something OF
abduction, took with him two OF bis Of
ficers and went down to the place for
The purpose of looking into the whole
affair. He found the negro, fine
looking fellow, who called himself Da-
yid Smith, and the girl, pretty Qua
keress about twenty years old, called
Lydia Williamson, daughter of res
pectable farmer Of West Chester, Pa.
She had been induced to eIope with
him, and although he pretended that
they were married, yet he finally ad-
United that this was not the case, and
they were 'scverally detained for fur
Their inquiries.
We are not disposed to throw away
much sympathy on all the parties in
this case, for it is an unfortunate truth,
that there arc too many who allow
their philanthropy TO misgulde them in
their estimate Of what ought to govern
them in social life and are under the
most dangerous decisions in their at
tempts to carry out this abolition doc.
trne. If we could hberate the negro
today and send him to Africa to-mor.
row, abolition would be feasible, but to
keep the frebrand in our hearths--to
make the blacks free and the whites
slaves-to see them openly, lmpudent.
ly select and run off with our daugh.
ters, and claim TO sit at our tables-fll
the halls of Legislature and seats of
Justice-spend our money, and by
this unnatural equality overturn the
usages of society, is what no white
man should be permitted to sanction,
countenance, or carry into execution
in any part Of our country.

THE STANDING ARMY.--Thc fol-
lowing is given in the Madisonian as
tho rank and file Of the Executive
standing army OF office holders in the
State Of New York. How hardly can
the freedom Of elections be maintained
against the natural enemies ofthat free
dom, when their efforts are seconded
by tho assaults Of such an army OF
placemen, whose daily bread, under
the rule and reign Of the spoilers, is de.
pendent on their partisan exertons?
1880 postmasters
2l7 mail contractors.
50 clerks in the N. Y. p. Office.
25light house keepers.
500 custom-house officers.
These, says the Madisonian, consli.
tute ga regiment Of the Kings own,
we'll drilled in the system Of terrorism
and seduction, and Of dragooning vo-
tiers !"
We trust, however, that tho Wings
and Conservatives OF New York, a.
ware ofthe dangers that environ the
cause Of free government in thus State,
will redoublo their energy and vlgi-
lance, and thus not only make good
their delonces against the " common
enemy" but give to the Locos in that
State another signal rout from which
there shall be no rally.-Bah. Pat.
PUBLIC DINNER TO Mr.. BENTON
The Louisville Journal Of the 18th gives
the following account of a public din
ner to Mr.. Benton:
"Col. Benton arrived here from Wash.
lngton city two or three days ago and
departed shortly afterwards for St. Lou.
is. We learn that the steamboat, on
which he came down the river, got n
ground opposite small town in Ken
lucky, and some Of the loco focos Of the
place conceived the idea Of recommend.
ing themselves to the administration by
giving him public dinner. Accord
ingly they invited him, and he very pom
pously accepted the invitation. There
were about forty cabin passengers on
the boat, and the Colonel had no doubt
that each and all would 90 TO his dinner
as compliment to fellow passenger.
Out Of the whole number however, on
ly four could be prevailed on to go, and
they protested to do so, not from the
slightest respect for Col. Benton, but
merely to get good dinner after long
abstinence. A few eaters assembled
at length at the public house, but at the
very moment they were about sitting
down to the table, the bell of the steam
boat sounded, and the Colonel to avoid
being left behind, was obliged to seize
his hat and run at the top of his speed, |
leaving his meal untasted.

The Hon. JoHN ROBERTSON, the

the Richmond District, Virginia. has,
in public letter addressed to his con-
stltuents, declined a reelection to Con.
gress. Those who have been associa-
ted with this gentlemen in the National
Councils will part from him with regret,
for a more honorable, or courteous
member never digniiied the House, nor
one who manifested greater zea in be-
half of the rights and interests Of his
State.
The Richmond Wing says him =
NO representative ever enjoyed more
fully the confidence of his constituents
Even those who differ with him polite

OBITUARY.

Died, at Cincinnati, Ohio, in the
18th year Of his age, RICHARD, eldest
child Of the Rev. ]. II. Brooke, for
merly rector ofChrist Church in this
place.
During the last week the father was
permitted, after an absence Of near four
years, to visit this field Of his former
labors and the hearts Of his old flock
were gIaddened, at the prospect ofonce
more, hearing his welcome voice from
that sacred desk, from which he had so
faithfully and acceptably, for series
Of years, proclaimed to them the glad
tidings of salvation. He that ruleth
all things however determines other
wise; aud just at the moment, almost,
when his voice should fall upon their
ears, information is brought him OF the
illness of this beloved and interesting
child. With the agonised feelings Of
an allectlonate father with hope not
unminged with fear-he Immediately
started for his home. That home
which but u short time since he had
left happy and ioyiul-excepting so far
as his own contemplated absence was
| calculated to render il ctherwise--now
to be returned clothed with the habila-
ments Of woe, and deserted by that lit
tie one, whose voice had heretofore
! filled fathers heart with Joy
In this afllcton, which has be(alen
the fond parents of this child, many a
friend here will deeply sympathIse. -
While they sorrow however, they will
feel assured, that the parents agony
will be mitigated by the christian prin-
ciPles, Of which they know them pos.
sessed and though they expect from
them the indulgence Of those feelings,
which pertains to human nature, they
are conscious that their mistaken con.
iidence in merciful God will cause
them to exclaim :" The Lord gave
the Lord takeih away, blessed be the
name ofthe Lords" being well assured
by faith, that their child, has but ex.
changed this world of sorrow for a
home where sorrow is not known, and
where he will live for ever in the favor
and love ola Redeeming Saviour. -

IMPORTANT DIscovERY.-Mr SoR-
Ell distinguished French Chemist,
has invented a method of coating iron
with zinc, the effects of which is to pro-
tect the former metal from oxidation e.
ven under the action OF acids or salt
water. A multitude of experiments
have been tried by men ofscientifc re-
search and experience, by which the
protective quality of zinc has been fair
ly tested. Among other things ascer-
tanned, is the fact that an iron cable,
each OF the links of which is charged
with small portion Of zinc, will be pre-
served from rust even when immersed
IN salt water. One ofthe ways in which
this discovery will prove of immense
value will be the preservation of iron
balls and other projectlles used in mill.
tary service, by which vast amount OF
loss will be prevented. The September
number Of the 'Journal OF the Franklin
Institute" contains some very important
details on the subject. The mode in
which the preservation is accounted fol-
IS on the supposltlon that galvanc ac-
ton is produced by the approximation
oFthese two metals, which protects the
material from the influence of agent;
calculated 10 create rust. AS is very
properly remarked by some of the gen,
tIemen who have investigated the mat
ter, the application ofthis coating will
be found useful in bridges and other
structures in which iron is most used.-
