AN INTERESTING INUIDENT.-Mr. Jo>
seph Leavitt, one of our citizens, re>
turned from California, in speaking of
sights and scenes in California, made
mention of the following highly inter
esting incident, which speaks eloquent>
ly of the true humanity of hearts ev-
en- in California, where sclfishness and
passion are supposed to reign with un-
wonted force.
During the raging of the cholera in
California. a young man from the State
of Mississippi, Jesse Cook, about twen>
ty-three years OF age, who was engaged
in the laborious work of mining, chan
ccd to meet with family from Nilsson
ri, consisting of husband, wife and two
children, one of. them an infant. Dis
ease had attacked one of the children,
a little boy, and he soon was stricken
down by cholera, and laid by the sor-
rowing parents in little grave dug
on the bank of river. Soon after
the father of the child died, leaving
only the mother and her infant daugh>
ter. Her grief was great. She was
in a strange land-the husband of her
youth and the first born son. of her
hope, had departed to the land of spir-
its, end their remains were lying in
their graves in the quiet vale of riv
er. Her earthly support had failed,
and yet she clung to life for the sake
of her infant daughter. Strangers
proved kind, and the hand of benevo-
lence provided for her wants, and the
voice of kindness greeted her ears.
But disease preyed upon her, and death
tore her away from her tender infant,
and by stranger hands she was buried.
The sweet loving eyes of an infant
looked up confdingly into the face of
young Cook, and smile wreathed its
beautiful face, and its delicate little
hands stretched forth fondingly. No
female was there to caress and care
for it, and the young miner, with a
swelling heart and with trust in God
and his own resources, took the name
less infant, then only seven months
old, ia charge, and provided for it
with all fathers care and a mothers
love. He daily fed and washed and
dressed it, and gave it the fond name
of his mother, Mary; by day Graded
it near him in his tolls, and at night
cuddled it. as an angel child, to his boz
som. After awhile. he made applica-
tion to various families at Sacramento
City, to have the child taken care of,
and offered to pay five dollars week !;
but none were disposed to undertake
the care of it, and be abandoned min>
ing and resolved to proceed 10 Oregon
and there take up land for a farm, and
make home for the little orphan
ihe simple, unadorned facts in this
case are sufficiently touching and sug,
gestive. without any comments from
our pen.-Bd"gor (haine) Wig.

THE PARTING.-BY W. II. oAREw

They have parted, met, and spoken,
They have sighed ard trembIed; ; yet
Each, too proud for explaGanon,
Suffers anguish and regret.
She has takeh from her finger
The remembrance of his VOW,
For the costly gems he gave her
Are as nothing to her now.
They have parted, and forever,
Less in anger and in pain
For the mystic Chain is broken--
They may never meet again.
She has drawn his cherished likeness
From her bosom's belted zone,
And her farewell eyes are drinking
All the glory of his own.
They have parted, and the vision
OF their dream is o'er;
To the coming of his footsteps ....
She may never listen more
She has laid aside the token
OF his love that was her pride,
When he pressed her to his bosom
As his OWE atiianced bride.
They have parted She has gathered
All his treasured presents there
Jewels, rings, and golden Iockets,
With their interviewer hair;
She's returned with his letters
Botted ever with her tears,
And the foolish pride of moments
Leaves blight upon their years.

ave know that the shareholders are
not content with the present state OF
things, as regards either the territories
or the runaways. If the South were
in earnest in saying they would at

not return their fugitive slaves, their
they would attempt it now; they would
have attempted it long ago, tor the
North does not and will not return
them. They hide them and they send
them to Canada. The South, and the
whole South. sees it and knows it.
The fact that creatures of the Federal
Government now and then nab and de-
liver a runaway, furnishes the South
an excellent pretext for protesting sat>

P The Administration is denounc.
ed as a Frec-Soil administration by
the Memphis Appeal.
Now, will our neighbors point to
any one free soiier who has been al
lowed to retain office under President
Fillmore !-Eagle.
Our venerable neighbor who said
some time ago, in reply to us that he
paid no attention to the Southern
Rights youngsters asks the most
unsophisticated questions we ever saw.
We believe that one Thomas Gown,
who IN ls4S, in a speech in Ohio, said,
" am the father of lhe abolitionsts OF
Ohio" is Mr.. Filmore's Secretary OF
Treasury. The sad Corwin said at
the same time, in advocating the Tay-
lor and Fillmore ticket before his abo>
lition children, that Mr.. Fillmore was
"a known ab0titioniSt," and Mr.. Fill
more has confirmed the truth of the
assertion by appointing him to the
most important Office in his cabinet.
Nathan X. Hall, Mr.. Fillmore's Post.
master General, voted in Congress in
1913 for the abolition of slavery in the
District of Columbia. Mr.. Webster's
free>soilism, on which he acted up to
the time he received new revelation
about the laws of God in the territories,
and which he re.avowed in his Buffalo
speech, is too well known to need proof
here. Further, Mr.. Fillmore has re.
tained himself in office, which is the
most fragrant instance of any These
are incontrovertible facts yet Judge
Campbell supports Mr.. Fillmore for
the presidency and endorses him as
sound from personal knowledge Will
the Eagle ask US a few more questions

Are all Northern wings ready to unite

We PROFOUND to them once more the great

THE CANvAsS--We continue TO re.
ceive the most encouraging account
OF the canvass from all parts of tn,
State. We can only find room for
few brief extracts from numerous let
ters received since our last.
A friend writing from KosciuSko
August Bird, says:
Submission, in this county, is on the
wane. We vii! give them Water
loo defeat in November next. Quit,
man will, doubtless, get majority in
this county of four hundred. Hoping
that the cause OF the South is anala,
gous to this-onward-I remain yours
truly"
The following is under date of Raj
eigh, 9Th July:
We are gaining votes every day in
this county, and we now only need
speakers of character and reputation
to scatter this disunion cry to the winds
to ensure majority for Qutman of at
least 300"
Our friends in Carroll are having a
warm contest, but are gaining daily.
In addition to the letters from Middle.
ton and Beckville, a jealous friend
writes from BlacI Hawk, as follows:
" "Tarple's speech at Black Hawk.
you may tell him, brought back four
old Democrats and converted one
Whig. Judge Smith "bcat my under.
standing of himself, in Carrollton,
Thursday 3ist inst HoIme, lawyer
of Carrolton, was called upon to am
swcr his speech he did not do so, but
made one Of his own, which Smith
answered to his entire determination (;
so acknowledged by his own friends" !"
A prominent Democratic State Rights
man Of De Soto gives the following
account Of the prospects in that coun =,
ty.
"De Solo will come out right side
up. The panic Of union and disunion
S fast going Oft, and every day we
are gaining ground. We are making
