taken to Jail. He had considerable land estates,
but this property cannot be sold in Virginia
unless at the discretion of the owner. lie had
large family, and for the sake Of his children
preferred lying in jail to selling his land. A
friend hinied TO him that probably Washington
knew nothing Of the proceeding, and that il
would be well TO send him a petition, with
statement Of the circumstances. He did So
and The very next post from Philadelphia after
the arrival Of the petition in that city, brought
an order for his immediate release, together
with full discharge, and severe rnprimand
TO his agent for having acted in such man

Poor Rouzy, was restored to his family, who

the labors Of a grateful family, and in few
years Rouzy enjoyed the exquisits pleasure OF

ment Of this Disunion movement
as an electioneering document for
use in the campaign, in the be.
lief that as soon as it became
known at the North, the "conser-
vative classes" there would rush
to the support Of MIR. Buchanan,
and thus remove the danger Of
the contingency in which the
South would destroy the Coh.cde-
racy. BIT the sounder advice Of
the Northern members Of the
Committee prevailed, who gave il
as their opinion that such a pro-
ceeding would arouse a feeling Of
indignation against the whole par
|ty, and promote the interests Of
Fremont.
In regard to this movement, it
is the opinion Of my informant
that it can be checked only for a
time, and that should the North
not yield in time to the menace
Iof Disunion, the proposed Con-
vention will be held, and no man
can foretell the consequences that
may result from an assemblage Of
that character But this gentle
man and the conspirators now dis
grazing the Executive chairs Of
the South, have failed to take in
to account the shareholders them

now rules the South. They can

Tears Of the shareholders are the

that quarter.
The fanatical Disunionists o

A NAME oBsCURED BY SMOKE.

l have somewhere read Of an old lady who was
professedly very pious, but allowed, for many
years, her devotions to her pipe, like thousands in
the church, to exceed her devotions to God. She
was more sure not to forget her VOWS to this car
nal appetite, than not to forget her closet Tor
prayer.
One night she dreamed of an aerial flight to the
regions of the spirit world, where not only her
eyes could feast ON the beauties Of %elysian fields,
but where she could converse with perfected spir-
it's. One of these she asked to 60 and look Tor her
name in the book of life. He complied; but at
length returned, with a sad countenance, saying
it was not there. Again she besought him to 60,
and search more thoroughly.
After a long and anxious absence, he returned
with a Enlightened countenance,s saying it had, after
a great labor, been found; but that SO deep was
the covering which years Of tobacco smoke had
laid over it, that it was with great difficulty it
could be discerned.
She awoke, and found herself Frustrated with
weeping. 1t is not for me to say whether there
was, OF was not. any divine instruction in this
dream; but il produced in the old lady a repen-
lance from her evil habits, and q pious resolution
hencoiorward to give unto God, not II divided, but
a whole heart--to cast the lido, at her feet, and lay
no more of heI time, and money, and vital ener'
gies upon its unholy altar.

IL was II blue-eycd, curly-haired, little Geor.

the room where he was playing, with the same
i'm patient step, and anxious, frowning eve, which
all that morning he had observed in wonder and
silence.
"Why George !! What ever put that thought

"Oh nothing-I guess. 1t just happened in

Was it naughty to say SOP
Not at all, dear, / was the naughty one but
do you know why felt SO f.etful aud troubled this
morning?"
'Yes, | heard you say that uncle, and aunt.

were to come in the noon train, and that your
wood was poor, and there was no steak IN the house,
and that there was no rice at the grocery, and Han

as Pa says sometimes, you are in q peck of trouble

about trifles."
They are tribes, darling-the least of trifes.
And a big, grown woman like me ought to be
ashamed to make myself miserable awholo forenoon
for them, turning the brightness Of this glorious

And George rolled up his apron sleeves ant
went to work with a will.

of the frightened spirit within, and though sh
might not regard the idea Of angels worrying il

when, at one o'clock she seated her guests at he
