SELLING A HUsBAHp.-A lady passed
through Cleveland few days since in hot.
pursuit Of her husband, who had been smit-.
ten with smart attack of "passional at.
traction" and bad run away with another
woman from Wyoming county, N. Y, to-
Lorain county, Ohio. She took brace Of
officers from Cleveland to Elyria. The
gentleman, snuffiing the aPpfoach Of dang
er, left his money with his nephew to eff
ect diversion with the enemy, and took
the cars for the south. On reflection he
suspected the honesty Of his nephew, and
took the train back to look after his money :.
At Cleveland he encountered the pursuing
party, and negotiations were opened. 1t
resulted in the ladies selling out all her
right, title and good will in and to her
husband, and his purchasing dishonorable
peace for $500. z The lady returns to Wy
oming without husband, but with $500
in her pocket. ..

A PLEASANT IxcrDExr.-A letter writer

A PLEASANT IxcIDExr.-A letter write
from New York relates the following:
About 6fteen years ago merchant of this
city was i'll England. One morning as he
was preparing to return home, he had by his
side on his table ten or fifteen bank notes Of
one thousand pound each; as he opened the
window for some purpose, puff Of wind
blew the notes from the table, and one was
blown into the fire and consumed. The mer
chant male known his loss to the Bank; q
note was made of the transaction, but he was
told that TO relief could be afforded him by
the bank. He bore his loss as well as he could
and the affair passed from his mind.
A few weeks ago this gentleman, now in
business In this city, received a thousa nd
pounds from the bank whose note was burn
ed. He was informed that the bank had
waited the allotted time, fifteen years, to see
Il the note would come back to the bank; nc
presentation had been made and the bank
had now legal proof that the note was de-
etroyed as the merchant had stated, and he
was entitled to the money. In these ugh'
times such lift was quite timely.

river. We thank Mr.. Jno. w. Stuart, clerk, and
formerly clerk OF the old Justice. for large
package OF papers. We hope Mr.. Stuart will
give US call on his return.
The Vermont arrived here early yesterday
morning from The Wabash. She only went
few miles up the Wabash this "Trip, ard brought
out 5000 sacks Of corn to Mt. Vernon. She was
loading yesterday for return "trip, intending to
20 as far up the Wabash as Vincennes.
- The Fawn arrived here Wednesday night
at o'clock, behind her time as she has usually
been of late. We hav. frequently compliment ed
the officers OF this good boat ON their punctual
trips, but lately have not mad an opportunity OF
doing So We cannot conceive OF an excuse for
not promptly making their packet time while
the river is in so fine stage. Her constant al
irving in The night is a source Of great inconve-
nience TO many of our citizens.
TIE river was about stationary yesterday
probably swelling little. Although very high
we have plenty of wharf room left yet. The
tallest floods DO not discoma ode our wharf busl-
ness, som, thing which probably cannot be said
by any other prominent place on the Ohio
river.
- The little White River arrived here from
Green river Wednesday evening, having been
out several days longer than usual. But she
assembled to the sources of Barren river, and
brought down from Claypole ~ hhds tocacco and
over 400 bbls pork, first rate trip. She was
preparing 10 return last evening TO Green liver.
Capt. Liter appears to be doing good business
with his staunch lille steamer, and his industry
and promp,ness deserve reward.
- The Belle Sheriden arrived at Evansville
yesterday from New Orleans with a very heavy
cargo which detained her so as to make her trip
q comparatively long one. She left New Or
leans Wednesday, the Nth. We thank Capt.
Martin, OF the Office, for papers. The Sheridan
was crowded with passengers.

"WAsHISGTON's oRDER.-During the late canvass
in this State Says the NH Patriot) the 'Hindoo'
organs and orators daily repeated the story that on
some important occasion during the revolution
Washington issued au order in these words: 'Iput
none but americans on guard to night. Probably
there is not one OF these editors and orators who
did 10; kaog that he was uttering falsehood and
a SANDER upon Washington every time he repeated
this statement, and doubtless most OF them will
row admit that no such sentiment was ever uttered
or entertained by the Father of his Country. The
lie, having done them all the good that it is capa
bic Of will doubtless now be passed over in silence
by them. But we think it proper 70 show up some
of their frauds and tricks, when occasions Occur
with a view TO let the people see the knavery Of
these fellows. The following extract from 4 speec
delivered by William Z. Robinson, al late ,ele-
bration in New York, is conclusive in regard to
this 'Hindoo' forgery and libel upon Washington.
This Robinson is the sama fellow who aided these
'Hindoo LEADERS in 1852 in their efforts to prove
that General Pierce and the democracy of this
State were hostile 10 tho Catholics and had never
tried TO abolish the religious test in State con.
stitutiou, and in their efforts TO secure the Catholic
vote fer Gen. Scott. In his speech he said:
but we are toid-and it has been gaining cred
Utility among the more Ignorant and uDthinking of
our land-thAt upon some occasion George Wash

such order was every issued by George Washing

notices aud embiazonneutS at the heads Of in-
tensey American papers. Some time since ad-
dressed a note to Jared Sparks, esq, the American
rnstor 40, ard the able editor OF Washington

that Washington would issue such one, surround

w The Eanner makes an issue with Gov.
JOHNSON and ourselves which we have not raised
Gov. JOHNSON declared that Mr.. WEBSTER voted in
Congress against supplies for the army and navy.
The Banner said that this charge was 'eaumnious.
It became necessary, therefore, for US to show that
it was true. We did this only. Gov Johnson did
not characterize this conduct with any epithet-
He only stated an historical fact Mr.. WEBSTER
Hever denied this fact. He declared in the debate
with Mr.. CALHOUN, that his course was not unpa-
triotic. But he gaze the votes in question.
Dir. WEBSTER was the leading opponent of the
war during his service in Congress from 1918 to
1915. Perhaps he believed this opposition patriot
ic. We are not, however, discussing his opinion,
but insisting upon fact. II is just as idle to say
that he not an opponent of the war, as itwould
be to say that Gen. JACKSON was The TACT Of such
opposition and of certain votes against supplies for
the army and navy was ell that Gov. JOHNSON
stated, and It was this statement the truth Of ayhict
qUs hare sholen beyond cavil or qai5 that the Ban
ner pronounced 'calumnious."
Tie question whether bitter, continued, and IN
scrupulsus opposition to The war Of 1912, was CT
was not "unpatriotic" we shall not discuss. The
public judgment has long since been pronounced
on this question, and, right or wrong, that judg.
ment viii probably never be reversed. We have
been educated in the belief that the said judgment
was righteous; and although we shall never unnec-
essarily aude to the subject, yet we cannot carry
our forbearsnce to the extreme of remaining silent
when we hear a truthful and legitimate reference
to it branded as 'caumnious"
