THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.
Death Of $. Margaret Fuller.


With emotions of regret and sorrow we re-
cord the death Of s. MARoAREr FoLLKR, by
marriage Marchioncss Of Ossol, who, with her
husband and child, was drowned in tho wreck
Of the brig Elizabeth from Lcghorn for New
York, on the South shoro of Long Island, on

warmly attached for foreign tour. She visit
cd England, Scotland. France, and Italy,
Spending the Winter Of 1876 in Rome, shc
became acquainted with the Marquis d'Ossoli,
to whom she was subsequently married.. Both
she and her husband took an active part in tho
Republican movement in Italy, which resulted
SO disnsrouly. She threw her whole soul,
says Tho Tribune, into that struggle, animated
the defenders of Italy by voice and pen, and
ministercd to the wounded patriots in the hos

ment of Rome by Oudinot'
Having spent nearly five years in foreign
lands and become a wife and mother, she took
passage at Leghon, with her husband aud
child, for her native home, happy in the thought
of meeting once more her fondly cherished
mother and beloved brothers and sisters, and
greeting again tho numerous friends who had
watched her honorable career abroad with feel
ings of sincerest pride and pleasure. At the
very moment when the consummation Of hei
brightest hopes seemed near at hand, within
short distance of New York, the vessel il

several months, has been revived under the edi-

infer that it is to be less radical than it was un-
der its former Editors but decidedly reformato-
ry and progressive. Mrs. Beatty is unknown
to us, but wc are always glad to welcome wo-
man into the editorial fraternity and, if we
may judge from the editorials in her first num-

Hugh N Smith, Delegate from New Mex

but the mass of that party in the Slave States
voted with the Democrats for expulsion
The number of Wings who voted against
exclusion was 66-of Democrats only l9!---

Texas is all on fire with indignation--a
special session of the Legislature has been
called-and it is affirmed that the State is
determined to enforce her jurisdiction over
New Mexico at whatever hazard. The Pre-
sident waits for the complete organization OF
the Cabinet but his friends assert that he
will sinnd by New Mexico, as Gen. Taylor
had determined to do.

Cheap Postage.

The bill lately introduced to the House by the
Post Office Committee provides for the reduc-
ton of the rates of postage for all distances to
three cents if prepaid, and five cents on all half
ounce letters, and the same rates for each ad-
ditional half-ounce. On newspapers, deliver
cd anywhere in the State whore printed, half-a-
cent, and ON all newspapers delivered out of
tho State where printed, ono cent. On all
pamphlets, magazines, books and periodicals,
two cents for the first ounce and ono cent for
each additional ounce.
The bill also provides for stamps of the value
of three cents, to be afforded to purchasers and
Postmasters at ten per cent. discount, when the
amount purchased is over fifty dollars.
It also provides for the coinage of three-cent
pieces of silver, with sufficient alloy to make
them of convenient size.
1t also appropriates to supply any deficiency
that may arise by tho reduction of postage rates,
81 500, 900; this sum standing now to the cred
it of the Post-O Office Department, as the cx-
cess of its revenue over and above its expendi-
lures since its establishment.
That tho bill will be passed at the present
session is moro than we venture to hope.

Longevity.

4 The following interesting facts con.
corning the longevity of the family of the
writer, are from the Saybrook Mirror
They are remarkable. The writer dates
his communication, Clinton, May IA,
1850, Think of an old man now living
having nine boys from 4S to IS years of
age. If they are out after 10 o'clock in
the evening, he can hardly very with
the apprehension that the, young dogs"
as some men good naturally term their
sons, are in mischief, or sowing "wild
oats" But he says they are ell settled
in life, and the farthest is but sixteenmiles
off. Happy old man-may you live to
see your grand children as cid as your
self, and as worthy patriarchs as you
must be-. .
Mr.. FDIToR.-I am descended from
family Of great longevity. One who lies
in our graveyard, and who was the oldest
of any buried there of which we have any
record, attained to the age of 95 years.

furnished four soldiers, another three,
and SO on; none enlisted for less term
than three years-some for twice three,
and some during the war. None were
killed in battle, but three died in the ar

these almost every man in the district Of
suitable age and able body was drafted
into the service; all have long since gone
into another world, but God has seen

SENATORIAL SKETCHES.
From the New Haven Journal

A Senator for the 18th district, was
begot by the union Of Democrats and Free
Sellers. Some men, says the proverb,
ale born with silver spoons in their
mouths, others, only horn. So some
men are born with their dish right side
up, as others are, with their dish right
side down. Hon. Mr.. Coe, of Winsted,
has the reputation of being lucky in this
respect. "Keep it before the people,"
and "the smallest favors thankfully re-
ceived, is capital enough for some poll
ticians, and men who in turn have be-
longed to all sorts of parties and found
none, long, good enough for them, are
pretty sure, in these ticklish times, q
catch any sort of pudding they may
hold out their dish for: Mr.. Coe is be-
tween 40 and so, and by occupation.
merchant. He exerts a considerable
and always highly moral influence at
his home in Winsted.
Hon. Elisha Johnson, lawyer Of Ply-
mouth, is native of Winsted. At the
early age Of thirty>two. he for the second
time represents the 10th Senatorial Dis
trict. He has less the air Of an Attorney
than any member Of the profession in the
body. A quiet and subdued manner,
with more preciseness of dress than usu-
ally falls to the lot of the learned in
the law, and a trig neatnesss Of hair and
whiskers, increases our wonder that he
should be politically what he is. ia
stranger should endeavor TO guess what
were the politics of each Senator, he
would take his oath that the chair Of
desk No. 10, was made out of a piece of
the Buffalo Platform; but he'd be mis-
taken, it is made part OF hickory, and
part Of the first growth Of slippery elm.

Farmers Song
BY w. L. EATON.

A rural life il the lie for me.
Awav from The city'S strife.
Where the breath Of Heaven is pure and free
And natures full of life;
Where the earth is clothed with lovely green
The flowers smiling and fair.
And the wisd m Of God is distinctly seen,
In all that hnurishes there.
We do not envy the man Of trade,
Whose lie is with cares oppressed,
Who only is happy as wealth is made,
Andnot when sthers are blessed;
HIS life b,und up in merchandise, -...
His heart absorbed in his gains,
TIE beauty of earth shut out from his eyes,
Eui not from his soul, its pane.
We have nolhi.g TO do in Ambitions ways,
And do moi envy the gaeai,
Piffed up BY the hollow voice Of praise,
And perplexed with the cases Of Sac;
Elaed with hope or depressed with fear,
They must run when the people call
We are happier far in our humble sphere,
THAI they in the Nations hall
The gifts OF Heaven are freely bestowed,
The harvest sur labor crowns;
M despots can reach eur peaceful abode,
We quail al no tyrant's irowns,
A ru al home Is the home we love,
Away 60 nlhe city's strife.
Webow to none bul the God above
None know happier life.
