popularity at one time overshadowed Wash
ington's. But now, alas! how fallenl The
| breath of an indignant public opinion had
blasted him; and his laurels were all scared
and withered. He had lost the battle of
| Camden-had been deposed from the COM
mand of the army of the South, to make
way for Greene-over his head lowered
heavy cloud of public cxecration almost,
and Congress, it was said, had prepared its
thunderbolt to strike him. But the bolt
never fell. The sad soldiers sorrow was
| respected. They left him to die in peace
hcrc-enough punishment that the magni-
ficent drama of the Revolution was played
out, independent of one who had enacted so
splendid part in the earlier acts.
These three old wooden houses are tho
visible remains of three vigorous lives-in
them, to the musing eye, tho spirits of Gates,
and-L and Stephen, hover around them
still, speaking in every whisper of tho pine
trees and the oaks-those ancient oaks Of
the noble, English looking ''chasc," which
murmur yonder beneath the window
through whose heightened vista appears
the lone mansion of General Adam Stephen.
Here, within gunshot almost of each other.
these men of history repcscd-though not
happily VIC must cOnclude-after all their
struggles, The current of the Opequon,
resonant in old days with savage shouts,
and dyed with blood, murmured by them,
and perhaps spoke to their minds Of other
days-typifying human things which ever
bud and flow, and change like the skies of
autumn yonder-the gorgeous leaves whose
colors vary with each day.

Mr. BUCHANAN ON THE PACIFIC RAIL
ROAD.-Mr buchanan, in a.. letter to the
chairman of the Democratic Central Com
mittee of California, dated September 18th,
replying to inquiries regarding his position
on the Pacific Railroad question, says:
am decidedly favorable to the constpc-
ton of the Pacific Railroad and derive
the authority to do this from the constitu-
tional power ''to declare war; and the con-
stitutional duty ''to repel inv asions." In
my judgment, Congress possesses the
same power to make appropriations for the
construction of this road, strictly for the
purpose of national defence, that it has to
erect Notifications at the mouth of the har-
Dor of San Francisco. Indeed, the neces-
sity, with a view to repel foreign invasion
from California, is as great in the one case
as in the other. Neither will there be dan
ger from the precedent, for it is almost i'm
possible to conceive that any case attend
ed by such extraordinary and unprecedent-
ed circumstances can ever again occur in
our history.

NOT AFRAID OF D1GNATAR1Es.-The
eccentric Peter Cartwright, the well known
Methodist minister, was once preaching.
when General jackson entered the church.
A pastor in the pulpit gave his brother
Cartwright nudge, and whispered that'the
old hero had just come in, as much as to
say. ''Be careful what you say" But
Cartwright, in loud voice, which could be
heard all over the church, exclaimed in
response, "Who cares for General Jack
son? He'll be lost as soon as any one, if
he don't repent" The General, when ask
ed what he thought of the preacher, said
"Sir, give me twenty thousand of such
men, aud I'll whip the world, including
the devil.''

DEATH FROM NEGLECT.-A few days
since, Mr. Babcock accidentally struck the
back of his hand with a hammer, in his

copper filings were left in it, which poison
ed his whole system, and caused his death
soon afterwards.

ARTIFICIAL ICE.--Prof. Merriam, of

written a letter to the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser from the banks of the Cuya-
hoga, Ohio, dated the 3lst ultimo. We
give tho following extract:
This afternoon have been engaged in
examining machine made here for produc-
ing intense cold by artificial means. The
machine, after having been worked an hour,
brought down the mercury in the thermcme-
ter to the line of twenty four degrees below
zero, which was the lowest degree marked
on the scale. cut an apple and placed il
on the outside of one Of the metal pipes ia
which current Of ether was mado to pass
through vacuum, and in few minutes it
was frozen. This machine has bcen tuo,
years in being brought to its present state
ofgreat forwardncss. 1t worked by steam.
1t freezes water, forming blocks of leo
twelve inches by six--that being the size IT
the metal cells in which the refrigeration
takes place. Each cell is separated from
the others by what may be called the Aue.
A large number of these cells are placed in
what may be called square cistern, and
of sufficient number to produce ton of ice
at ore operation. Clothing of persons
coming to quarantine in vessels can be
frozen by this machine, and thus diyestcd
of the germs of pestilnnce. 1t can be made

HAsTY BURIALs.--Another warning
against the too common practice of hasty
burials, occurred in Fremont, Sundusky

who had been i'll with fever for some time,
to all appearance died on Friday afternoon
all the arrangements were made, and the
friends and the clergyman were assembled
to pay the last tribute of respect to the sup
posed deceased, when the body appeared
warm to the touch. Restoratives were ad-
ministered, and in few minutes the man
who had come so near being buried alive,
was sitting up. He is now in a fair way of
recovery Cincinnati Columbian.

A CERTAIN CURE FOR A FELON.-We e
are sure that all who have suffered from 6
| genuine bone felon will thank US for max
ing public so simple and yet so efectual a
| remedy as the following. In thousands of
instances, weeks and months of the most
intense suffering have been endured, allow
ing of neither rest by day nor sleep by
night, and when cure is at last effected
the finger or thumb is often deformed for
life. AS soon as it tccomes apparent that
| felon is making its appearance, which is
known by continued soreness and pain
proceeding from the bone, and sometimes
evincing but little change for the worst for
a week or two, take a strong cord of any
kind and wrap it around the finger, above
the afflicted part, as tightly as can be borne.
Keep it in this condition until the pain can
be endured no longer. Now loose the cord,
aldas soon as the pain caused by the cording
| subsidies tighten it again. Continue this
for several days, or until the felon is COM
pletely blackened and killed. We have
known several persons who had been affiic-
ted with felons to try this remedy with sue
| cess in fact we have never known it to
fail. The cording stops the circulation,
and thus the sore has nothing to feed on
and soon dies of starvation. We have
faith in this remedy, even after felon has
made considerable progress.-Erchange

HORRIBLE CRUELTY.

A tragedy took place in Lockport, N. Y,
exhibiting such a revolving cruelty as to DO
almost incredible. A little boy, five years
of age, belonging to Mrs. Story, on WASH
burn street, was roasted alive by fiend in
human shape, named Elizabeth Craig,
white woman, whose husband is a negro
The evidence elected before the coroner's
jury, shows that the victim was left with
smaller child by its mother, when Elizabeth
Craig, who lived in another portion of the
house,, took the opportunity and entered the
apartment, and proceeded to the execution
of the deed, which, it has been shown, she
had previously threatened. With horrid
imprecations of damn you, damn you I"
the child was held on tho FIRE, by its tor
mentor, until its legs and bowels were burned
to a cinder; then, with satanic revenge, the
body of the child was reversed by the mur-
deress until it's back was roasted to a crisp.
The little sufferer was found in a corner
of the room, and fingered on in an uncon-
sciOus state until yesterday (Thursday)
morning, when he showed a return of con-
sciousncss, and was asked by its mother,
for the first time, 'how came you to burn
yourself!" answered, "Elizaboth burned
me-" and then, as if recalling the horrors
of the awful scene, which were pictured on
its imagination, exclaimed damn you, damn
you" evidently in imitation of the imprc-
cations used by its tormentor. Death soon
put an end TO the sufferiups Of fhe child
