TO The Woodstock Age attacks the Clerk
of the House of 1858, on account Of the Jour
nal Of the llouse--we must say, attacks him
savagely. The writer indicates spite, and is
withal either impcrfectly informed, or unrea-
sonable, In due course of express, the copy
of tho Journul for the Age should have reach
ed Woodstock some two months or more
sooner than the date indicated by the Age
If it did not, it was the fault neither of the
printer nor the Clerk. Still the distribution
was delayed several weeks longer than it 9TH
erwise would have been, for the want of the
copy for the index: but the Clerk acknowl-
edged the delay to the printer, and satisiacto-
rily explained it. 1t is very possible he has
tened the work when he got it in hand--for
the printers were clamorous for copy" Per
haps this will afford further explanation for
the Age. At any rate, this statement is

ing the few moments he was on board the

Admiral and at the boats. After he left, con
tinues Capt. Tatnall, 81 held conversation
with our Commissioner, Mr.. Ward, and he
agreed with me perfectly. that under the
circumstances of our position with the Eng

thankfully and promptly accepted. While
the boats were making fast to the hawsers
which veercd astern, ! insisted on Mr..
Ward and his suite leaving the Toey-Wan
and going on board one Of the junks, for rea-
sons which will be obvious. He, at first, re-
luctlantly yielded and left us, but soon re-
turned in one Of the English boats, declaring
that as the Toey Wan was his home, and GO

currence. he would remain in her. ] reluc-
family yielded to the gallant impulse. -
Capt Tatnall towod the boats through the
British line to within a short distance of the
Admiral whose flag was flying. when, casting
off, he retired to the rear Of the line, and
anchored for the night. lie took up this po-
sition so it might enable him to aid the wound
ed, and should any boats be sunk, to rescue
their crew in other words, to afford all the
aid consistent with neutrality. Having beer
informed by British officer that the Admiral
was dangerously wounded, Capt. Tatnal
went in a barge to visit him. When within
a few feet Of the Cormorant, a round shot
struck the boat, killed the coxswain, Mr.
Hart. Of Brooklyn, n. y. and slightly wound
ed flag Lieutenant Tronchard. They reached
the Cormorant before the boat entirely sunk.

British and French Ministers to the Peiho
To this he consented, thereby, to certain
extent, assuming the same platform as the
latter. The sincerity of the Commissioner
was much doubted at the time.

Be YouR OwN JUpGE--No matter what our
party predictions may be, 1t is our duty rs good
citizens to carefully scan the character and fit.
ness of the candidates on each ticket, select the
names OF the best and most capable men from
among them, and cast our sul'rages in their IA
vor. BY such intelligent action rs this alone can
we demonstrate our fitness for and our nppreca-
tion of the high aud honorable privileges of citi-
zcnship, aud give m earnest Of our desire to
reform the abuses Of party politics. SO long as
we do not make it n rule to vote only for good
and worthy men, 80 long will conventions out
rage decency and public. opinion by forcing upon
us for official station the mentally inferior and
the morally rotten Of their parlizans. 1t is high
time that this were stopped by our people-that
conventions were taught II wholesome lesson, viz ::
that success can only be won by the presentation
