The Chihuahua Heroes,

The hardy boys who have Just performed the most
remarkable march in modern tines and gained some
Of the most brilliant victories of this war, showed
themselves in great numbers in our streets Yesterday
They are truly bold, fearless indomitable band.
When they landed from the vessel, their appearance
reminded of the pictures OF Robinson CrusOe, and
other shlp-wrecked Adventures, who having been a
long time banished from civilization, and compelled
to live among savages and wild beasts suddenly
transferred to their homes and to the society of cult
waited men. Many of them wore the very suits OF
clothes which they put on six months ago, when they
first commenced their perllous march. Many, whose
garments have long ago been torn off by expos
ure and hardshps, clad in skins and hides. Not
few were in borrowed pnmes, having endued them
selves in clothes captured from the enemy. There
were many, too, whose garments were of n composite
nature; being made up of their old clothes, some
times eked out by Mexican uniforms, and sometimes
by deer and goat skins. An old calico shirt would
peep out of grey goat skin. and run off into pair
of snowy scarlet nexpressbles, once worn by some
proud iancero.
Altogether such n motley band were never before
paraded on our soil The sympathy and admiration
OF our people, already deeply aroused in behalf OF
these gallant boys by the details of their extraordinary
exploits, greatly increased by the appearance
hardships, exposure, and suffering, which they pre-
sented But they did not long remain in their shabby
garments. They had large against Uncle
jun, VIII - pIOhlpl anu llOcTdl anu
who soon furnished them with the means of rigging
themselves up in handsome style. In a short time,
what a change takes place in their appearance
They are now, thanks to numerous cheap clothing
stores and small tailors the best clad and surdest
looking gentlemen in our city, Their robust frames
embrowned complications bold and bright eyes, and
manly carriage, beoken The life of daring fortitude
aud seli-rellance which they have led for the last
twelve months.
The health Of this force has been generally very
good, which will always be the case when the men
are kept on the march. Although they have been
exposed to every danger incident 10 military fehavt
fought several severe battles and encountered the try
ing vcisstudes of heat aud cold-ther loss has been
much less than many of the regiments that have not
yet seen hostile force, or known any Of the serious
peris Of military life.
All honor, then, TO these gallant men. Their
bravery forttude and perseverance, not surpassed
IN history. And when it is considered that they went
forth against the enemy, not as regular soldiers, not
as those whose trade had long been, and from
whom honor duty demanded the sacrifice, but as vol.
uneers, seeking glory and supporting the honor and
rights Of our proud Republic-language is inadequate
to express the admiration and applause due to their
extraordinary achievemenls.-N o. Della. June Is

An Important Matter.

We have a few words to say TO our readers
Individually, which we hope they will duly
consider, all Of them at least, who claim to
be the friends of the Western Anti-Slavery
Society. That Society was organized for
the purpose of carrying on a more effective
warfare against slavery than could be done
by the isolated action of its individual mem
bers. To render It's action effective, its Ex-
e%cutive Committee must have the cordial
support and hearty cooperation of those who
called 1t into existence, and the more PROMPT
the action of its members, the less erubarrass-
ing and irksome will be the labors of the
Committee.
At the commencement of the present year
of the Society, it found itself encountered
with a debt of nearly $600-this, we are glad
to say, has been liquidated, and the salaries
Of the agents been mostly paid up to the pre-
sent time. The Treasury is now, however,
nearly empty, but a considerable amount is
due the Society on pledges, which we hope
those who made will send in at "A suitable
time, without waiting 10 be personally called
upon.
But this was not what we had on our mind
when we commenced this article. We de-
signed saying something about the transfer
Of the Bugle 10 the Executive Committee,
and the need to extend its circulation. When
the transfer was made, the former Publishing
Committee reserved the amount then due on
subscriptions in order 10 enable it to nav the
debts 1t had contracted in publishing the pa
per. The Executive Committee have no
means to meet the expenses of the paper, ex-
cePt so far as the subscribers advance their
subscription money. We therefore hope
that every one who has not paid for his paper
IN advance, will do so, and thus prevent the
necessity of the Committee CONTRACTING a
loan. 1t is far better for 1000 or 1900 ner.
sons to advance each their 81 so than to have
a more unequal draft made upon a few. We
trust the friends of the paper and of the So
clety will feel this 10 be the case and act
promptly.
Such can also greatly aid the Committee
by laboring to extend the circulation of the
bugIe in their respective neighborhoods.-
This would benefit the cause, not only bv
adding 10 the funds of the Society, but by
disseminating information upon the subject
OF slavery. The season is at hand when the
farmer has leisure for reading, and we believe
a great deal can be done by a reasonable
amount OF effort expended in this way
Some hare done nobly, but we fear that ma
ny who really wish the agitation continued,
have not been wise enough to employ these
means. The paper too, has been sent traits

it was quite as saleable perhaps, as anything
that could have been manufactured. Hope
TO see some more another year.

not granted. Particulars by private letter ere

A.. X. F. The house is divided against it,
self-one approving her judgment, the other
dissenting.

hope an opportunity will soon offer to do
the same on behalf of the public for commu-
nications for our paper.

OF a Dutch merchantmen, and the Dutch were
not English then whatever they may be now.
1t might also be further seen, that although
on the goth of October, 1871 tie Continental
Congress did-to use the language Of the
Pennsylvania Assembly-"for ihemselves
and their constituents, firmly agree and as.
%sociate, under The sacred lie Of virtue, honor,
and love Of their country, that they should
neither import, nor purchase any slave i'm
ported, after the first day of December then
next; but would wholly discontinue the
Slave.lrade, and would neither be concerned
10 1t themselves, or hire their vessels or sell
their commodities or manufactures TO those
who should be concerned in it, yet 50 UNI
continued to lie fitted out as slave-lraders
from the port of Philadelphia. 1t might also
be further seen, that notwithstanding the
American Colonisis declared in l77G their
absolute independence, yet they sill coutin-
ued the slave-trade aud slavery on their own
responsibility, furthermore threw solemn con-
stitutional guarantees around the latter, and
declared the former should be legal for at
least twenty years. A reference to these We
ry important facts, however, we suppose
would be considered as rather unpatriotic;
and it probably might be said ofthe members
Of the Convention, that TO them, at least in
their political character, Truth is stranger
than fiction.
Every body knows that the Constitution
is a pro-slavery document, a bundle of COM
promises-every body, except some of the
members Of the Liberty party, and they san
they dont-and every body knows that slave
ry exists ina great portion of the Union; yet
these Liberty loving Wings are satisfied with
all this. They say, "The constitution as il
is, and the country as it is, is good enough
for u.s." "The Union as it is, the whoie C.
Mon and NOTHING but the Union we will
stand by to the last" ave have no desire
to infringe upon any one of the compromises
Of the Constitution"
Yet we must do these men the Justice to
say, they declared, 1--WE will not pour out
the blood ef our countrymen if zee can AeIp
IL, to turn a free into a slave SOIL" As they
hare poured out the blood of their country
men TO do this, as well as the blood of those
who are not their couutrymen, we suppose
thy cannot help il, but are forced into the
measure by the compromises Of that c|onslitu-
ton winch they declare is good enough for
hem, Ii would seem nv their own aIuni.-
that they are not only helping the
South to strengthen the stakes and ~lengthen
he cords of slavery, but they do it because
hey are slaves Observation-Disclosures to a false
patriotism, TO an unrighteous Constitution,
o Il blood-cemented Union.

Elisabeth Robinson is no more! | have
just returned from her funeral, and feel it due
to friends and the cause in which she so faith
fully labored, TO announce her peaceful close,
which was about 7 o'clock on the eveninu of
the 23d of this mo.
1t had been my privilege TO be with her
much since her return from Salem, whittier
she had resorled the past summer, for the pur-
pose, believe, of not only benefting her
health, but also encouraging a Hydropathic
establishment which she had hoped would
be a benefit to the human family. So great
was her desire 10 promote works of useful
ness, that all her energies were continually
employed for that purpose to the end Of her
life. Often, during the last week, was she
heard 10 say, if she could live to be a benefit
TO her race, she should delight to do so; but
had no fear about the luture-had carefully
looked over her work, and was satisfied. She
had tried TO do right, and if she had erred, it
was through ignorance; and all who have
been with her can attest the meekness and
purity which pervaded her spirit and dilfused
calmness around, even in the parting scene.
Of her truly, it may be said,
"a keen perception of the right,
a lasting hatred Of The wrong,
An arm that failed not in the fight,
A spirit strong,
Arrayed herwiih the weak and low,
NO matter what the opposing power,
And gave Il terror TO the blow

None were too low 10 meet her eve,
None were too weak TO claim her aid,
To meet reproof none were too high
In place arrayed.
Man, had her sympathies, not men,
The whole she loved, and not a part,
And to the whole, she gave her pen,
Her years, her heart"
That the knowledge Of her exit may arouse
the energies of her remaining friends, is the
desire of

Strange Inconsistency.

a few weeks since this nation was rejoi-
cling in the fact that the city Of Mexico had
been captured, that a great portion of it had
been laid in ruins by the explosion of shells,
and that hundreds and thousands of human
lives had there been destroyed. More recent
ly, news of an occurrence Of a somewhat sim
liar character in its results has been received
from another city. A powder magazine en-
ploded, destroying or injuring one hundred
houses, and killing ten persons. This, it is
true, is not so glorious as the partial destruc-
ton of MeXico-the killing of only ten per-
sons we confess is rather an insignificant af-
fair when the 81 ,ughter of hundreds is so
commons; but we cannot imagine why the
papers and the people speak of it as an "Af-
flicting Casualty" or "A ''Lamentable Occur
%rence," unless the fact that it was in Nash
vile instead of Mexico, changes its entire
character.
The WESTERN A. S. Society is now
without a General Agent-Samuel Brooke
having resigned. The Executive Committee,
at its last meeting decided not to make anoth-
er appointment at present., as they have but
two lecturers now in the field, who will get
up their own meetings and attend TO the gen-
eral business of the Society in the sections of
country where they labor.
Our friends Walker and Curtis expect
shortly to go into Licking county, and will
perhaps spend a month there. We ask for
them a kind reception and candid hearing.
THE NASHVILLE VINO advertises George
'Fashingto" as a runaway slave. Says he
Is the property Of Governor Jones, and is a
good blacksmith and Baptist preacher, and
offers $40 to any one who will secure him
in Jail so the Governor can get him.
Should His Excellency not succeed in
catching George Washington, we think he
need be under no apprehension lest the fupi-
tive should not be able to take care of him
self, as it seems he has two trades to RELY ur-
on blacksmithing and preaching.
OF 1t was stated in a previous lumber.
that the expenses of Wm. Lloyd Garrison's.
illness at Cleveland, were 500; and an in
vitatlon was extended to those who wished
TO aid In defraying them, to send their dona-
tons to the Treasurer of the Western Anti
Slavery Soclety-such contributions to be
acknowledged through the columns of the

FRIENDS EDIToRs:-
The New Lisbon Anti-Slavery Sewing
Circle, during the labors of the past year.
have been aware that slavery still continues
to crush its millions, and TO seek every means
10 fortlfy itself in its cruel and unrelentinq
position. As a means it resorts TO the prohi-
bition Of all instruction, even the ability 10
read the divine scriptures. The marriage in
stitution is denied, and the family altar bro
ken up-husband and wife are separated for
ever-children are still torn from the embra-
ces of their fond parents, presenting TO the
humanel the most heart-rending scenes of mis-
cry and distress.
Our nation at the present moment is enga-
ged in the most unnatural and atrocious war
against a sister Republic, for the purpose Of
extending and perPetuating the system of sla-
very, thus presenting 10 the lovers of human
ity the most discouraging aspect. Sill, there
is much TO strengthen and encourage US in
our efforts for lis overthrow.
The true character Of this mighty evil is
becoming better understood by the more in
teIllgent and rejecting portion of community;
the halls of Legisldtionar are more orless agitaled
the churches and religious bodies are often
so disturbed as 10 produce schism and divi-
sion, and the great truth that the mission of
Christian religion is 10 remove all sin and
oppression, is taking hold of the affections of
the more educated minds and bringing about
the conclusion that they cannot fellowship
shareholders or their abeltors. These cheer
ing signs, taken in connection with the atten-
lion which has been paid to Anti Slavery
I%ecturing of late, show US that our cause is
onward, and calls upon the mothers and sis
tiers for renewed eXertions in so glorious an
enterprise, and says to those who are luke
warm and indifferent, come up TO The great
moral conflict, and never cease until the shack
les are taken from the limbs of every human
being, and the great Brotherhood of the hu-
man family fully acknowledged. With these
views, though we have seemingly done all
we could within the last year, we feel dis
posed TO increase our exertions. We have
heid our regular meetings, generally attend
ed by less than a dozen of its mem5ers-of
course our means are limited, and we are no,
unmlndful Of the aid received for the espeeial
