HOW WILL He GET OUT OF 1T.

HOW WILL HE GET OUT OF 1T:
Gen. Dodge in the course of the discus
sion few days ago at Glenwood, got mad
enough to fight, at its being charged that he
was friendly to the repeal of the law max
ing the slave trade piracy-the punishment
under which is death. In the same discus
sion perhaps: certainly in the course of the
canvass, he has carelcssly pattcd his fine
limbs, and shaken his heels and toes exult-
inglv, and assured his auditors that he was
ready to run, with ''alacrity and great de-
light" the race set before him by the mas
tcrs in the shape Of the Fugt We Slave Law.
And at other times, in the same connection
perhaps, it is said characterized the insti-
tuition of slavery as outstanding and en-
tightening to the slave, who would, without
its timely interposition, to- day be scorching
under the pittiess sun of Ethiop, beyond
the reach Of Gods grace and every other
spiritual end temporal good, but by which
he is "brought to newness of life;" which,
if true, would make the slave trade a sim
ner-importing and soul.saving Missionary
enterprise and it should be encouraged,
incorporated, chartered and supported as
such yet the General will hang every moth
er's son Of them for bringing these poor
devils from the "aggregate Of all the hor-
rors,''-from the miserable brutality inten-
SIZED, to the saving grace Of sugar planta-
ton,
No charge is 50 offensive to him, nothing
short of death would satiate his purely
Christian wrath. Will the General please
get Eads, who used to be dabstsr in rei-
gion and morals, or Dean, who yet makes
some noise in that direction, or some other

The New York correspondent of the Charles
ton Courier, who is evidently one Of the friends
of Mr.. Sickles, says that they entertain no fear
as to the result Of the trial, and expect soon to
see him return home, acquitted of the murder
OF Key. " II acquitted Internationally, he will
not resign his seat in the next Congress; but,
if to bis release there is any qualification, he
will send in his resignation at once, and when
the special election occurs, he will again be a
candidate, and the power does not exist in New
York to prevent his triumphant return" Ano-
Their correspondent, who belongs to the same
party, thinks that the trial will consume nine or
ten days.

HOUSE STRUCK BIZ LlGHTN1NG-The house of
Nj. J. w. Hanger Of Stou,'s Grove. Mclean
County, was struck BY lightning on Monday last.
A gentleman named Williams, of Bloomington,
was in the house and was sitting by a table,
when he heard u loud report similar to that of
= cannon, and the next moment he found him
self standing with his back to the wall. The
other inmates Of the room were flying anout in
all directions, and Dr. Payne, also from Bloom
ington, had his clothing on FIRE. Mr.. Williams
went to the Doctors assistance, and succeeded,
with the help Of others, in putting the flames
out. DR.. P.'s clothing was badly torn and
burnt, and his left boot was taken from his foot.
The upper leather was ripped and scorched,
and the sole was among the missng-not par.
ticle of it could be found in the room. The
Doctors right side was somewhat scOrche1, and
hie right leg was paraly zed-in which condition
it remained for some time. DR.. Hoag, of Taze-
we'll County, was also injured, but rot serious
~. The lightning struck his feet and con-
tinued up his legs, apparently glancing off
when it came to his body. His legs were badly
scorched, and they remained paraly zed for sew
srL hours.
The escape Of the other inmates of the room,
seven in number, was about as near a miracle
AZ anything else that we can compare it to-
Notabne OF them received the slightest injury.
The house was badly dealt with. The walls re-
ceived severe shaking, the floor was torn up,
the windows were blown out as effectually as
they could have been with several barrels OF
gunpowder, and the roof was partially blown
OF and set on FIRE. The Ere was subdued with.
out much dificulty,-partly by the rain, and
partly by the inmates Of the house. The light
ming came up through the door, directly beneath
the inmates of the room, who were sitting pref
~ close together.
