General Wool.


The fame Of General Wool is not only the
pride of this State, Of which he is a native and
has always been resident, but it is the pride
Of the nation. II was but few days since that
story was widely circulated that soldier,
James Duggan, said to be Roman Catholic,
was tried by court-martial on a charge of re-
fusing to attend Protestant church-that he
was sentenced to pay fine and to endure de-
grading imprisonment-and that Gen. Wool in
part approved the sentence.
The facts of the case turned out to be that
Duggan was tried and found guilty of disobe-
dience and characterization for clearing his COM
pany tcithout permission" But General Wool,
prompted by that kindness of humanity for
which he is so eminently distinguished, RENTED
the whole Of his sentence except the payment
of fine of five dollars. There was nothing
appearing before the court that Duggan was q
Roman Catholic, except a casual statement of
that fact by one Of the Understanding in
the shape of evidence upon which the court was
called to pass, or which General Wool could
make the subject of review
How absurd to charge such man with reli-
gious intolerance. The Catholics of Mexico
would repel the charge with indignation if it
were made to them. They, and they only, who
trembled at the approach of an army Of volun-
teer troops, many Of whom were wild and un-
governable ut home, and who had entered the
army from an adventurous spirit, can appreci-
ate the discipline, the wisdom, and the hu-
mainly, which could restrain such q body of
men from committing depredations upon their
Catholic enemies. We venture to say that such
wisdom and such humanity were never before
exhibited, under similar circumstances, by any
other General Of ancient or modern times.

force his way through the carriage window ana
scramble to the outside, from which perllous
position he was further rescued, at conAderaoie
personal risk, by the stout arms OF his travel

the old man treated the matter Win grea'
cheerfulness.
Bishop Zubiria, in his visits to the New Mex :
lean church and people, cannot DC accuseu -
any thing like Incidence, timidity, OF Par'lai.yi
He visits every village and hamlet, no matter
how small and contemplate, how remote OF
perilous to reach. During his last years Visit
he often ran narrow risks OF his life In various
WAYS; but he appears to be as fearless as he
is fortunate. At the remote peublo OF Zuni,
nearly two hundred miles west of the Del Norte,
the brave old man had scarcely concluded his
episcopal duties and Quilted the pueblo, before
it was invested by a cloud Of Navajos, who kept
up an incessant warfare upon the unhappy
Zunians for a space Of fifteen days, numbering
and plundering with no other limit but the in
complete resistance of their feebler and less
numerous victims. Had he been delayed an
other hour, the probabilities are, that notwith-
standing the small escort he had with him, M
would have been irretrievably cut OF.

The printers and bookbinders, and all their
assistants, are very often entrusted with secrets
of great Importance in this city, yet we have
never heard of an instance of the violation
of this confidence by any Of them, although
legislators and statesmen are often leaky Tele-
graph operators are often entrusted with weighty
matters-such, sometimes, as they could profit
much by imparting; yet We have never known
an instance of violated faith. Great men could
not thus be trusted. Depend upon it, true
honor and virtue prosper best among the /" mid
ding classes" or the intelligent yet poor, who
labor for the means of living. "Give me neither
poverty nor riches"

AN EASY AND CHEAP METHOD OF GETTING
MARRIED. We find the following marriage
notice in the New York Tribune, copied from the
Skaneateles Democrat:
Married, on the afternoon Of August II, ut
Glen Haven Water Cure, by themselves, VIM.
L. Chaplin to Miss Theodocia Gilbert, of that
establishment"
We believe this is our old acquaintance, Gen.
Chaplin, Of negro-abstracting notoriety in this
region. Getting married is much pleasanter
than the fate that seemed inevitable to him a
year or 80 back.
Bulwer says the worst use you can make Of a
man is to hang him; and we think the best is
to marry him to good wife, who can keep him
at home and out of mischief!
