THE RESCUE.

At about nine o'clock on Tuesday even.
ing, u party Of ninety three men, well armed
with guns, suddenly appeared in Monticello.
They were n rough looking set Of men, dis
gaised in various ways. They proceeded to
the residence Of james Il. Blan chard, In
whose custody Moore was, The leader Of
the mob entered tho house and dem anded
that Moore should be given up, While he
was conversing with Mr.. b., tho mob broke
open the door, aud entered the room.
Moore, the prisoner, was In the room, but not
being recognized by the mob, aud taken
for an officer, he was seized, and badly
maltrca,eh, before he could inform his res.
cuers who hc was. When he told them his
name, he was taken from the house. and the
mob, after various acts of disorder, left the
town in company with Moore. Before they
left, they declared no arrests should b. made
or prosecutions instituted in Wright county
against the participants in tho lynching Of
jackson. Threats were also made against
the st. Paul officers aud the Attorney Gen
cral.
The Attorney General arrived in this city

clear enough that the negroes were never

Iwish my iellow-adopted citizens to guard

Is It Right to Laugh &?

Bev. ]. Hyatt Smith, in great Sunday school
meeting in Philadelphia, made speech to the
children, from which we extract the following /:
Once in a certain village, as was talking to
n number of children, they all laughed. They
laughed again. And | have yet to learn that
the religion of my blessed Saviour forbids laugh
ing. That was my answer to good old man
who seemed to think it terrible thing that
should have made those children laugh. Said
this same, person in reply, You can look
through the Bible and never find that the Sa-
viour laughed" "Do you suppose the Saviour
never laughed" said |. 81 do" Now hold
that had you journeyed along the the highway
where the Saviour went, and beheld the Sa-
vour observing something remarkably ludicrous
you would also have seen him laughing. Unjust
tell you of dear ministerial brother who would
not laugh because the Saviour did not laugh.
He was out milking a cow once, when his broth
er came to him and said, "Don't milk that cow!''
" Why :" he inquired. " Because you cannot
find in the Scripture anywhere that the Saviour
MIXED a cow" That might have chased away
from him some of his strange notions.
But, as have said, | was preaching to the
children when some laughed, aud some might
have cried for aught ] know. | concluded
when man came forward who looked as if he
was pall-bearer at his own funeral. His face
was drawn down, and | thought the man was
very singular looking. All he had to do wat
to pronounce the benedictIon. But tell you
he made the most of it. lie struck me 10 it
gave another poor fellow hard blow, pounding
us soundy with the blessing. Az the close o
the service, he went to a brother and, said he
IL am very much shocked at the levity of thu
Rev. J. Hyatt Smith" | did not think haC
been wicked. lie was one of those ministers
associated in your minds with the undertakes
or the sheriff. When he entered the door of
house, the children would fly for safety. |
that is the religion of Christ, have.not par
tcle oft Now, want to say something abou
the Bible. | have heard you sing " Don't b.
discouraged, for Jesus is your friend" Tha
is sw eet thing. want 10 tell you story il

: school in Buffalo, there was little boy ther
who had got scoldng from his mother, IL
had little dog which he had been whipping
few moments before. They both were stand
ing under a tree near by the school. Miser
loves company, and itrwas emineutly dogmat
cal for the boy under the circumstance. So h
began to sing: "Doggy, don't be discouraged
} for Jesus is your friend" He wOs right. Th

DELAWARE AFFAIRS.

CENTENARY OF AMERICAN METHoDIsM.-Th
one hundredeth anniversary of the introduction
OF Nlethodism into the United States, is to be
appropriately celebrated by that denomination
The Christian Advocate says: "The true
centenary Of Methodism is the year 1850. DR..
Roberts, of Baltimore, has fully demonstrated
this fact from local as well as general docu.
ments, and other evidence. The late Local
Preachers Convention at Baltimore, appointed
a committee to consult the general conference
respecting measures for it's due Observance
1t is happy coincidence that the general con-
ference meets in this grand episcopal year. 1t
will be not, indeed, the centennial general con.
ference, but it will be the centenary general
conference"
This hint should induce our Methodist
friends to get together materials for history of
Methodism in Smyrna. The early pioneers of
the church, in this county, are passing away,
and as the incidents connected with its estsb.
llshment only exist in the recollection of the
old members, they should be secured at once.

They haunt me. Some are old and others young,
Others still, from the cradle barely sprung.
All are there--those knew in years gone by
In years gone by, when |, alas, when l.
Knew ncught of Death, but only knew of Life,
Only of Lie but life devoid Of Strife.

Prateing Innocence, Impeteuos Vice;
lie that lOv'd the Lord, he who lOv'd the dice.
Yes. good and bad are there-a mOtely gang
Who on this earth, from diff rent spheres had sprang
Can il be possible they all are deadi

Willard SALISBURY.

at time when so many Of our political op3o.
nents from the slave States in Congress. are
carried away with the vain idea of DIsunion as
remedy tor the ills which they erroneousy
apprehend, in our Judgment, from the free
States, 1t gives US no little pleasure to be able
to exclude from this category, the Senators OF
the United States from Delaware and Marv.
land.
James A. Bayard, James Alfred Pearce and
Anthony Kennedy, are too well known as
staunch defenders Of the Union, 10 need any
particular commendation from our pen, at this
JuncIure. If the everlasting threats of seces-
sion, III such and such an emergency, should by
any misfortune or casualty ever culminate even
IN preparations tor the event, we shall know
where to lind these gentlemen, SO long as they
are in public life.
But 1t is more than due to Willard SALISBURY,
the new Senator from Delaware, to express
our qualification, that he too is on the side OF
the Union. The Blue Hens Chicken has
never yet given birth to any public man, who
has ever talked about the alternative of Dis
union, much less contemplated it, She is not
the home OF traitors even in thought to our glo-
rlous Union, though she is slave State, but
like her cOtermnous neighbor, our own dear
Maryland, she is ready and able to defend her
luoOE 4HetltuIohS IIoul all attacks Nnetner
from within or without and that too, in the
Union, and not out of it, and we know the
Union has no truer defender on the floor of the
Senate than Willard Salisbury.
The above we clip from the Baltimore Pat
riot-a strong American paper. After briei
notice of Mr.. SIS antecedents, the editor winds
up as follows
Senator Saulsbury's friends in Delaware look
for him to make his mark when the occasion
comes, and we believe they will not be disa p.
pointed. In the present state of public affair:
he will not lack opportunity. Disunionist.

Salisbury will not hesitate to administer it al
the proper time. And not only he, but his col

We are greatly obliged to our friend for his

compliment, is an excellent caterer of the

As things are, however, good paper, though
it does not " waste its sweetness on the desert

perhaps we should say, prevented from doing
