The Gallant Bissell.

Col. VIM. HI. B;ssell, the Fremont and
Anti -Buchanaa, candidate for Governor of

the Southern members to subdue Bissell,
but he cowed the whole tribe.

PUSCTUATIoN.-A country schoolmaster
who found it rather difficult to make his pu-
pills observe the difference in reading be-
tzeen a comma and full point, adopted a
plan Of his own. which, he iattered himself,
would make them proicients in the art o.
punctuation; thus. in reading, when they
came TO a comma they were 20 say tick, and
read on to colon or semicolon, tick, tick,
and when a full point, tick. tick, tick New,
it SO happened the worthy Dominic received
notice that the parish minister was to pay a
visit o. examination TO his school, and as he
was desrous that his pupils should show to
the best advantage, he gave them an extra
drill the day before the examination. Now,
said he, addressing his pupils, when you read
before the minister to morrow, you leave out
the ticks, though you must think OF them as
you go along Tor the sake Of eiocution.'-
So far so good. Next day came, and with
it the minister, ushered into The school-room
by the Dominic, who, with smiles and bows,
hoped that the training Of the scholars would
meet his approval. Nov, itso happened thai
the first boy called up by the minister had
been absent the preceding day, and in the
hurry, the master had forgotten to give him
instructions how to act. The minister ask

lament, which he pointed out. The bog
complied, and in his best accent began to
read:'And the Lord spoke unto Moses say
ing, tick, speak unto the children of Israel,
tick, saying tick, and thus shalt thou say unto
them, tick, tick, tick. This unfortunate sally,
in his own style, acted like shower bath

The Hour and the man.

The New York Mirror has enlisted un.
der the Fremont banner, and among other
reasons gives the following for SO doing. Ii
says.
But other and stronger considerations
than these have determined the election We
have made. After fighting the battle of the
South fer twelve long years, defending its
political rights, domestic institutions, social
characte manners, and habits on all occa-
sions, recent occurrences have convinced us
that the time has come for the North, with
its superior numbers, intelligence, wealth
and power, to take stand, firm and fixed
as its granite hi Is, against the threatening,
bullying, brow beating, skull-breaking spirit
of the South spirit that trampies on
Compromises; violates the sacred freedom
of parliamentary debate; and murders the
settlers upon our common soil for simply
opposing, by voice and vote, the fastening
Of slavery upon a Free and virgin Terri
tory.
As representative of Northern feeling,
aroused by series of unwonted outrages on
the part OF Southern politicians and cvunte
nanced by the Pierce Administration, John
Charles Fremont has been selected as
candidate for the Presidency. In the great
emergency of the nation, the eyes of the
Free States turn to him, who has waved
the flag OF his country upon the top o: Ame-
rica, as to the rising Star of the Republic.
The HOUR and the MAN has come together,
as they always do come, in the right time
of nations need.
1t is not now our purpose 10 prophesy; we
have not even made an arthmeticaf calcula-
tion of the chances of this complicated
campaign. The question with US Is not
one of policy, but of principle; not of poll
tics even, but of patriotism. In the event
of Fremonl's election, the very triumph
would suggest course of magnanimity to-
wards the South The Republican Cabinet
and Foreign Missions should fairly represent
eyery section Of the Union. And it is the
strong assurance that such generous and
purely national policy would be adopted,
more than all other considerations, that has
decided the step we have taken.
Against the other can idates in the ield

When quite a youth Franklin went TO

"Ah," said the foreman, "from America!

Franklin stepped to one of The cases, and

"Nathanel saith unto him, can any good
thing come out of Nazareth! Philip saith
unto him come and see."
1t was done so quick, SO accurately, and
contained delicate reproof SO appropriate
and powerful, that it at once gave him stand

illustrious man, but we shall content oul-
selves with one more:

the occasion on which it was used, with
present facts by any of comme7ttry, will
make it striking one:

To The Postmaster Of

DEAR SIR-At a private consuta lion OF
the leading Democrats Of the Union held
in this city, Immediately upon the ADJOURN
ment of the Cincinnati Convention, it was
recomm ;nded thrt each Postmaster be re-

Upon examining the returns OF the Post
Office Department it is found that your pro-
portion will be three dollars, which you will
confer favor by remittng by return OF

The principal object in making these col
lections is to throw into the doubtful States
an immense quantity of speeches and decu-
rsen;s in favor of the policy OF the Demo-
cratic party, and also to assist in detrayiDg
the expenses OF speakers that will be EN-
ployed during the coming canvass. You
will therefore perceive that every Post Mas
ter WHO WISHES FOR A CONTINU-
ANCE OF HIS OFFICIAL position will
find it for his interest to use every effort to
brinr about so desirable result.
nrPost Master are appealed to because
thev are considered the representatives OF
the party in their respective localities, and
being the recipients OF the patronage OF
the Administration, it is but just that they
should comply with its DEMANDS.
