was filed with ministers Of four different de-
nominations. We have the promise Of a re-

succeed With the divine blessing his abode
among US would result in great good. Mr.
\ Hunts preachings on other subjects than that
Of temperance has proved very acceptable to
the citizensfof Washington. You hear him
preaching TO children, and you think that he
was made for them. Listen to him among the
colored people, and you see he is the man for
them. And when he is before an audience
composed Of the Public Departments, and men
Of lha, standing. you cannot help concluding
| he is the man, for them. May God long pre-
serve and bless him.

Governor of Illinois, which contains a lust
rebuke of all clerical officers. Il is as follows:
"Mr. Kinney had come on to Washington
to ask for an Office. Admitted to an interview
with the Chief Magistrate, the reverend appli- 4
cant set forth his pretensions in vivid colors !;
his services in the Democratic ranks were all
enumerated, and redoubled exertions for the
future in the good cause We're promised When
he had concluded, the yenerated chief, regard
ing him with amid bui solemn air. said Mr..
Kinney, you are, | believe, a minister of the
Gospel; is it not so?'' 4,
Il am, your Excelency." was the reply, i.f

A Coon FELLOW. Captain John Patterson,
Of Belmont county, in this State, got sick
and had to remain at New Orleans, and let
the Ohio volunteers 60 out When he GOT able
to travel, he took passage with some Of the
Indiana troops, in small vessel The craft
was cast ashore on Padre Island all expected
to be lost, as the had nothing but small boat
TO 60 ashore with. The boat was lowered, but
they could take but few in, and even thew
were in a dangerous situation. Patterson was
getting into the boat, when captain of one of
the Indiana companies addressed him thus -
captain, il you get on shore safe. you win
inform my family of my death, and how ii
came about" Patterson Immediately asked
him if he had a family---he replied he had.
Patterson told him that he was single man,
and Immediately got out Of the boat, and.
made the Indiana Captain take his place,
remarking that he wosld stay and sink with
the vessel, as he had no wife and children
to mourn his loss Fortunately, however,
the storm abated they raised the flag Of dis
tress, revenue cutter was sent to their aid,
and all was saved. IL was an act on the part
Of the Ohioian that should be remembered,
for few, very few, would do as the gallant
Captain did.-Cin. Com.
