Died.

In Watertown, Conn.,. on the third day of August, Mrs. Lucy 5. Deforest, wife of Dr. John DpForest. te
 She was the daughter of Erasus Lyman. Esq. of Goshen. in thls State, was born Dec. I4 lS05, and consequently died in the fillieth year of her age. For-mcfe than twenty years an invalid. confined during this proiracied period to the house and chiefly to her bed, enduring much acute pain, and long seasons 0f weary languisll- ing. al times amo-t or quite heipess-she was bright example of iLe power oi the christian religion 10 sustain and conIlort an afflicted child Of God. Never was murmur heard from her lips. ln Inc spirit of cheerful resignation 10 the
 will of her heavenly Father, she desired to be dealt with as he should judge most for his glory. Though shnt out during these long years from public religious worshp she enjoyed delightful communion of soul with him who can make inc room of sickness Bethel, House Of God. Her period of secIusi0h from aciive life was not one Of useless inactivity From that chamber of sutf ring vent out Infiuencrs to honor Christ, to bless the community in which she lived, and to extend the power of religion through sinful world. Her prayers were ieryent and .habi,ual the salvation of souls through cruci6ed Re- deenfer. Shefpos special interest in the young and delighted wbLe strength permitted to go ther round her bed little circle of praying msihers with their children. to offer united petitions before tlie mercy seat for the early consecrafion ut the youth to he service of God. Endowed in the arrangements of divine providence with the means of making hheral donations 10 the bcnevoIcni. enterprises of sIe day, she dedicated these to Inc promotion of Chiist's cause, and well oheyed the iejanc,ion, to do good and io communicate lorget not" The fnll extent of her acts of beneiiccnce is known only 10 her- sell and her master; but they were frequent, jpdleious and cheerinllys performed. Her silent example, her pray CTS, her deeds of love were of preenninent value 10 the church and ihe world; and Dow that they have ceased the loss will bc desply felt. But she resis from suffering, from weariness, from sin, and her works do follow her. Long and enderly will her memory be cherished by all who havs known her worth.

MILITARY srrTTERs.

The only excitement which prevails in sthis State during the tos weather. is caused by the new military flaw, and the discus ssion of it's merits and de,nerit. .occhry . large portion of our exchanges. The prin- .cipal feature of the law is, that it requires 'the officers to besthorou ehly drilled for three days, and thus keep their previous know Hedge frssl, in the mind, instead Gf' a liiile fancy training as heretofore. WetelisyeI dhe law. is just what was wantea, and will shaye the hearty support ofevery officer who desires to improve himself in this science.

From every section We hear tho most tlat,ering accounts of the grain and ffui, crops, and unless some unforeseen misfortune should happen to the thrifty and abundant fields throughout the country, business mnst and will be aoasishiag in every part of our aand. Fot tho fsst year there has been . steady drain upon the farness in New England, who have been obliged to buy -four at Sla aud sls per barrel for their own consumption, and ,of course, the natural consequence has been . scascisy of money among the masses of,he people. This state of things cannot continue much longer, for the moment the grain is it for use, that moment will the current turn, and instead of depending apon neighboring towns and cities for their hread-stuifs. will haye m abundance. not only for their own consamp- tion, but a surplus to dispose of. Tie cry of the specalators. who are endeavoring to keep up the present high prices of hfead- s,uffs, that the abundant crops are heinz cut oR Thy the flies, worms, &c., Is all moon- shine. There is and ever has been class of men who faslea upon tho misfofiunes oi the great masses of humanity, when crops are short, hy forestallins and buying ur everything in the market at the lowest prices, and then charging an exhorbisan, profit. But thinks to kind Providence.

 The horrible tragedy at Louisville 0n the day of the Kennedy elecfion. has been published in its sickening details, and with rhss various colosing lI,as would Dstsrsl1y be given to II by different views. J'he Louisville papers disagree Assensiali3 as so the causes lending to excite 1he outbreak ]; according 70 the Journal the Americse party took special care to keep 1he piacEs for To- H'ns free Of access, and gaseao proyocasion till peaceable parties were fred npon ky the Irish and Germans; according to the Coori- er,every possible obstruction was rilfowni in the way of those voters who were not recognized as Know-N No.hings, and foreign. ers were driven from the polls and then beaten for presuming 10 exercise rfgbts granted them by the Constitution, Both statements are undoubtedly to De taken with much allowance. Bnt ws have no 4doubt tutshat when the full particulars shal. be known by means of a thorough investi- ;gation, that boih sides will have cause 10 Iblush-and not only bIash, bat mo,nn,over the fearful destruction of Life md pfopessy, caused by their immoderate folly and in- .judicious heat. .ss {. 9..,s t.sf
 .Df the madness that ruled fhe hour, when the murderous work was commenced, itheir accounts differ but little. -A party of drunken Irishmen commenced the firing !; ,shots were fired from the windows of ses. eral German hcusess at least IA persons were killed. and perhaps more, as several houses were burned, and cha.red bodies were found in the ashes; about ;S0 were more or less wounded.

FRrrxp HYArr:

to the North, but to the Nation. To what are we cossing ! A party protesting to be democratic, ceiling our very birth-right for less than mess of poitage-for the most petty and contemptible offices in the gift of their public men; professing to desire that the people should rule, great s,ickiers for popular sovereignty, and yet the moment freemen undertake 10 exercise this soseigniy permit them to he shot down like dogs, if they do not exercise 1t ina particular way Shame onsa practice so utterly inconsistent with the profession. This, however. is fair exhibition of patent democracy. No moe like that of '96 or 1916 than liclti is like darkness.
 But why onsht we to resist the aggres- sion of the slave powerf Isl. Because 1t deprives the north of it's jasi poliiicaIri rights, setting off every five additional slaves tno matter how base or contempiibie the deina- gogue who rules theIn) against every three freesnen as basis of representation. On d former occasicnit was shown in connection with this subject li.at the slayes already have nearly as many representatives (for them, not of .them) in Congress, as New England fseemen have. Tho sapineness of northern freemen on this point alone is aoite remarkable to say nothing Of other consider ations.
 2i. Because the manner in which the south has exercised it's political rights, has been detrimental to ti,e interests Of the nortl, Look at the distribution of Adminisfrdf,te poeer in the country for the last quartef or even half of tie century past Look at its roles against the ndusfriaf interests of the north. Look at is treatment of northern men who have dared 10 stand up for the liherty ot free discussion in Congress, and Tor freedom of action throughout fhe whole county Freedom of speech! Liberty oi action The pursuit of happiness-ihe very filings for which our fathers separated them- selves from The then fIrest Government On rartll-now rrpndiaied by our southern as- sociaies; and we threatened with their dis-s pleasure if we try to paaple any more of this great land which God has given IS with freemen. o, my blood qnickpns in it's course through my veins; when Think of the humiliation to which we are called to submit. and 10 which we are submitting. The true democratic spirit af our fathers does not animate as-if il did-ineu wonId resist these aggressions from the spirit with in. and not wait for appeals from without Keep this subject before the people, and let us see to 1t at feast, that we do not submit to become slaves ourselves.
