Your aft. Brother,
o. NJ. MARSH,


GE' When the immortal Col. --
was Assessor of ncighboring parish, he
was wont to have fine old time One
day, as he was assessing the valuHbIes Of
the occupants Of log Cabin, situated III
the pine woods, he in his usual urbane
manner, 'pcpped the questions 20 tie old
woman, while the old man had gone to
procure some "cor cob oil'' whercwith to
rcgale his guest
"IIow many horses, cattle, sheep, chick
ems, &c, Lave You got, my dear madam,
aud how much are they wo't?'
well, there's three old horses, but they
aint worth cent-thAe COWS, bu; they've
bin lost this spring two yca,s-nary sheep,
cept my old man, and he aini wuh cuss
but he alters votes the Demmvcrack tick
ct, and buys his whi>koy ly the jug when
Lc can get i, heap cheaper by the bar'l.
The chickens was all stole the other night
and Eope to massy thcy'llpi2cn the clap
that hooked 'cm."
Every satisfactory estimate of your val
uablcs, particularly about tie old man--
but here's something worth assessing
! (pointing to dirty little urchm ahoat tiN"
years old that WAS clingingto the old wom-
ans gown how much do you value this

old rascal, do YOU dare to call my child u

) daylights out O. YOU in mint. 0 my
to think I should live to be tortN odd next
) class meeting and to hear my own child
) called a nigger by such fellow as you!'
BY this time the old woman had worked
; herself up to Il pitch Of ungoycmable fury,
; and raising her voice to II shrill yell, she
, called out to the old man to come quick
= and "chnw the Colonel up" and we are
5 compelled by an inward regard for veraci-

Another Fire.

"MisfOrtunes never come single. -
Scarcely had the ember8 ceased smoking
at the ruins of the Hamer Manufacturing
Co.'S establishment, ere a fire OF almost
equal magnitude, occurred on the Marietta
side of tie river. About half-past II
O'Clock on Saturday night, citizens We're
reused from their slumbers by the ringing
of bells and the startling cries of 'fle!'
"fre!'
On huYryng forth, we found tie large
FIGURING and Saw mill belonging to J. O.
Cram completely enveloped with flames.
The fire originated in some part of tie
smut machine and spread with amazingra
pidity till the entire building was one vast
sheet of flame. Fortunately, the wind,
which had been blowing boisterously du-
ring the day, had almost wholly o'bsided--
otherwise many buildings in the immediate
neighborhood, must have fallen sacrifice
to the dcvouring element. What little
wind there was came from the South 3d
took the flames, sparks and cinder8 in the
/ directions Of the row of stores and dwell
7 lings on Front Street between the bridges.
Several of these were on fire at different
times and were saved only by the mos!
vigorous cxertions. The Fire companies
rendered efficient service in preserving
these buildings and also at Il later period Ill
exlingushing the burning timbcrs about
the foundation of the mill, and preserving
the wheels and o;hcr machinery from de,
struction.
Sparks and burning cinders were waited
rs far back as Fifth and Sixth streets, wher,
they fell in showers, endangering the build
ings even at that distance. Almost every
building had one or more persons ON th'
roof with buckets Of water prepared for an!
emergency.
Mr. Grams loss is about $50, 900, in
} cludng, besides the Mil and building ;
great deal of machineiy--lo,0 600 bushel
: of Whcat--l50 or 600 barrels of flour an'
about 800 empty barrels. The founda
ton of the building had just been thorough
ly repaired at an expense of nearly $50
, Insurance only $4,000.
. The destruction of this property is nc
only very serious loss to Mr.. Cram, bu
4 a loss which will he greatly felt by the SUI
=; rounding county. The Touring mill di
\ a large amount of custom business, and wa
\ the chief dependence of the farmers in thi
i county.
$ With his characteristic energy an
e promptness, Mr.. Cram has already con
= menced the reconstruction of the Saw mil
s as a preliminary step to the erection of
II new Touring mill. 1t is his intention
+ have the foundation ready, if possible, b.
: fore rise Of water shall interrupt his op'
|. rations, and for this purpose he has laTs
e force already at work,
l. Mr.. Cram has the warm sympathies
II our citizens in his adversely and their be
/ wishes of future prosperity.-Marietta Il

is given the privilege to work out its own
problem. 1t has the President and the
Congress, and its course and policy is well
and sharply defined. There is not a sin
gle impediment to its triumphant career in
the way it desires to go. The first item in
its programme was to Subdue the North
The North is subdued. When we say
that, "In case one or the other-thc North
or the South-is to bearrule in this Union,
we prefer the North" we are taken TO
task by the organ of the now dominant
party, and abused for our insubordination.
The North is subdued, and the business Of
the next four years is to make the conquest
secure-to establish a dominion that shall
be permanent. We do not think that such
permanence will be gained, but that the en-
deavor will be made we do not entertain a
doubt. The political history Of the next
four years will be interesting.-Cin. COM

The RESULT IN ILLINOIS. are of the
opinion that Illinois has voted for Fremont
and Freedom, and that the little Catiline
has met q severe rebuke from that generous
constituency which has tolerated his trca-
son too long. The result is yet in doubt;
but with the immense maiori;ics in the
three Northern Districts, we cannot make
our figures in any other way than to secure
the State for the Republicans. If the polls
are closed in Egypt, or if they will be
closed before Chicago and the North are
heard from, the State is safe. But, if the
pledge given at the Springfield Slavery
Convention, "'Tell us how many votes you
require from Egypt. and You shall have
them" is to be redeemed, it is possible tha,
before the week is out, we shall be beaten

ty negress, while her husband bears the
appearance ofbeiug we'll cared for, in
fact, young Mr.. Marshall states that he
bas always treated him more as a COM
panion than q slave; they have been
playmates in childhood and have grown
up together, And now" said he, If
money can save him from the effect of
any rash act he has committed i am
willing to give it to any amount" After
the United States Commissioner had
adjourned the hearing of the case until
this morning, a couple of hackney coach
es were procured for conveying the flu
gitives to the Hammond-street Station
house, hut q crowd was assembled in
the street, whose threats alarmed the
hackmen for the safety Of their carria-
ges, and the prisoners were accordingly
walked under the conduct of a strong
escort. Some threats were made by q
portion Of the mob, but no violence or
attempt at rescue was made; subse-
quently, they were lodged for safe keep
ing in the County Jail.
In the meantime the leading Adolf
~tionists busted themselves, and a writ
of ha6eas corpus was procured, COM
handing the United States Marshal to
produce the fugitives before Judge Bur
goyne Of the Probate Court; they ;,
however, were allowed to remain in Jail,
and will be brought before the United
States Commissioner as previously ar
ranged.
At the time of the fight of Messrs..
Gaines and Marshall's negroes, a gang
of eight LETT Covington, six belonging
to Mr.. Levi F. Dougherty, five men and
one woman, and two men owpedby John
W. Stevenson, Esq, both residents of
Covington. The Marshal of Coyington,
with several officers of this city. sup
posed they were upon their track, but,
after a fruitless search, they found them
at fault, and at a late hour last
night no clue had been obtained of their
lurking place. In tho meantime there
is much excitement existing, the bloody
having invested the affair with
a Jingle of fearful, although romantic
interest. The Abolitionists regardzthe
parents of the murdered child a a hero
and heroine, teeming with lofty and ho-
" emotions, who, Virginiuslike, would
Undue their hands in the blood
Of their offspring than allow them to
year the shackles of slavery, while 9TH
ers look upon them as brutal and IN
murderers, At any rate the
affair will furnish some employment to
as well as officers, an extra force
If the latter being necessary to prevent
rescue while the case Is pending.

Of the present administration, after bav-
ing Witnessed the cold bloodeds murder

of the present administration, after bav-
ing witnessed the cold blooded murder
of unarmed and unoffending citizens by
officers of the administrations, who are
not only unmolested by laws and unre-
buked by the President who appointed
him, but who has perhaps strengthened
his official tenant and enhanced his
chances of promotion by the act, it is
not at all surprising hat We should by
the head of that administration be mis-
represented and perverted.
In relation to his contested seat in
the House, be says that he will be pre-
pared to meet the arguments of the Mes
sage when the case is heard, and as the
House is the Constitutional Judge of the
qualification of its members, he trusts
that the minds of the members will be
unbiased, and that whether discussion
by the Executive ofsome points involved,
has been made because they were Incl
dental to prejudice his claim, be hopes
that in either case both sides may be
heard before decision. For discussion
of the Message he bides bis time, ex-
pecting from the clearness of his exclu-
siye title to a seat in the House, to have
an opportunity to expose any m~isstate-
ment of facts and error of law and logic
that it contains.
