YoUNo MAN. Why do you use tobacco! An

in the habit of it and can't give it up" But

deacon in Michigan told me ten years ago, that
he would give up his splendid farm, his large
orchard and now house, and commence life anew

We copy at length the questions prOpounded
to Brown and Stephens in the interview which
Mason, Vallandigham and others sought with
the wounded men, and their answers. The Dem
Ocratic member from Montgomery appears as a
pettiiOgging inquistor, and put leading ques-
tions, one after another, TO worm out secrets,
and if possible to compromise citizens of tho
Western Reserve. The pryiDg Val. met with
proper repulses, and the Commercial well re.

The Columbus Fact gives the following sketch
Of the wicked but eventlul life of one Of the
young convicts recently sent TO the Peniten-
tiary from Hamilton county:
lie gave his name as Daniels, but is known
to he the son Of q Connecticut Judge, named
Price, a gentleman of enviable reputation on
the Bench of that State. Young Price left
home for Philadelphia, where he entered the
law office of the distinguished David Paul
Brown, and afterwards was in the office of ].
W Forney. He was convicted of crime in
Philadelphia and served term in Moyanansing
prison, and coming West, had not been in Gin
cinnah three hours before be was detected in
issuing counterfeit money, and is now sentenced
for seven years TO the pententiary of this State.
His sentence it is thought, would have been

that Price had served several years in tho navy
of the United States in manner creditable TO

AT the interview Of Gov. Wise with Capt
Brown, the latter stated that he never had more
than % men about the Kennedy Farm which
he had rented, but he had it so arranged that
he could arm, at any time, 1900 men with the
following arms; 200 Shapes rifles, 200 May
nard revolvers, 1000 spears and tomahawks.-
lie further stated that he would have armed the
whites with the rifles and pistols, and the blacks
with the spears, they not being sufficiently
familiar with tho other arms. One OF the
spears found at Browns headquarters is thus
described:

DIr. wise.-systemntic BallOOnins.

Mr. Wise, the aOronaut, writes long letter to
the Tribune, in the course of which he says:
From my earliest manhod, and for twenty four
years, my time has been devoted to the proies-
sion and practice of ballooning, and that amount
ofeTperience would certainly develop, to any or
dinaTy mind, a rational conception ofits merits
When a man sees the same results ninety nine
times out of one hundred experimental investi.
cations, he will logically infer that the results
are the rDle, and the exception the accident.
Well, this ratio holds good both to the great
eastward current well as to the safety ofbal-
looming. Out of Il3 ascents in which reached
an altitude of three miles, the balloon sailed to
he east liz times In the exception she re-
manned nearly stationary-landing three miles
west of the point of ascension. Out of 23l clear
aerial voyages, and PIG topical ascensions,
met with two slight accidents, and the loss of
two balloons By their getting away from me-
Both of the accidents occurred in my novitiate,
one, being dashed against house when starting
the other by having the escaping gas from the
balloon, when descended, ignited by a candle,
and causing an explosion. The loss of the two
balloons was caused by being caught-orce in
q whirlwind and the other in juniper bog in
the State of Maine The latter catastrophe
occurred from my mistake, at a great hight, in
taking the juniper bogs for praiIies.

Wise is for doing boldly what Brown attempt

speech-so the telegraI h reports--that he had

and he boldly defed the General Government
From the steps Of tho Capitol in Wash
ington he told the populace and the
Federal officers that he had taken
the responsibility of placing guard at Har-

accessible points throughout the State.
Gov Wise, as well as Commander.in-Chief
Brown, evidently regards the government Of
the United States as only Provisional" and

Dominion" Yet Brown will be executed by
Wise, and the rebel hangman will be honored
by the National Executive.

about Harper's Ferry of interest, derived from
Mr. Barbour, the Superintendent the Amory,

THE BIBLE IN Pubic SCho6Is-This ques-

reading people of California by the publica-
ton of pamphlet from the united pens Of
Rev. W. C. Anderson and Flstdher NJ. Haight,
of San Francisco, in reply to Or. SCOTS able
work entitled t'The Bible and Politics"
The latter work we noticed at the time OF its
appearance, and had frequently before e1-
pressed opinions Identical with those of its
distinguished author. We regarded DR..
Scott's arguments against the use of the BIZ
BILE in our public schools as 'unanswerable,
and DO not think the pamphlet of Messrs.
Anderson and Haight at all meets them, al
Though it presents the best possible argu-
ments IN opposition, and for that reason
should BE read by all fhtelligent persons. In
our opinion it is great mistake for ecclesi-
astical leaders to Insist upon the retention of
the Bible in schools. Tkey are warning against
their own interests, ana belong to the class of
men, alluded to by Louis Napoleon, who do
not comprehend their epoch nor the newt

enormous growth during that long interval
