MISCELLANEOUS
RFL1G1oUs poL1rIcAL FANAr1C1sM.

We sec by the correspondence OF the Ohio
Statesman" that Ezekiel I. Cox, Esq, L. S.
marsha! for the Southern district of Ohio, has
been ca. communicated from the Market street
Baptist Church, at GAINESVILLE. because. respect
ing the Constitution and regarding his oath Of
office, he executed the Fugitive Slave law. 1t
is a painful example Of the progress of a dan
gerous fanaticism which presents 4 congrega-
ton DENYING to n brother member the right to
worship God with them for 10 other reason
than because he refused to perjurc himself and
ulay false 10 his government, which had en-
trusted to him 4 high and responsible official
position.
Whilst the character Of n fugitive slave is
Justly not regarded i'll the execution of the LAW,
it NAV be introduced in the consideration OF
these religious phariSccS who have attempted
to offer an indignity to Mr.. Cox. The negro
arrested by him. for whom this hypocritlcal
sympathy is so much excited, was 4 thief, and
besides had been guilty of all outrage Of most
villainouS character upon a poor white girl
This is the subject Of an attempted notification
of the laws and Constitution Of the United
States.
We know Of no more mcritorious candidate
for the rebukc Of the conservative people Of the
North than these multiplying Baptists. Let
them receive it in order that the country may
feel that these repeated .'orays against the Con-
~stitution arc but the offspring Of 4 diseased
sentiment, confined to u few. and not extending
to any great portion Of the masses Of the non
slaveholdins States.
Mr.. Cox defended himself with great ability
before his brethren. and made u speech ofmuch
interest, but to no purpose, they expelled him
by a vote of % to II, and asserted the doctrine
that a public officer could not he true to his
country and, at the same time, true TO his
church.
Mr.. Cox is the father Of the talented repre-
sentative from the Columbus district, Ohio
Fash. States.

THE TURCOS.

The newspapers, correspondents from Italy,
and Paris story-tellers, give us all sorts of re-
ports and anecdotes about the Zouaves, the
Turcos, and other new species Of troops now
in Italy. The Turcos are a new race Of men
on the European field of battle, or at least not
there seen or known since the days of Hanni-
bal, who led their ancestors into Italy. They
are Mahomedans, under French officers and
sub-oficers, natives of Africa, about Algicrs,
black or woolly headed. We have to-day the

THE BATTLE OF MAGENTA.
The following particulars Of the battle Of
Magenta are extracted from q letter in the Paris
Unconstitutional Of June 10, written from No
vara, June 5, by NJ. Ernest Dreolle:
YESTERDAY, as the first battalions OF the
Noltigeurs Of the Guard, after conquering in a
first engagement at Turbigo, were pursuing
their march towards Milan, it appears that
10000 AustrianS, massed in columns, suddenly
co~untermarched, and, confident in their mum.
bers, advanced against our leading columns,
hoping to turn them and check the concentra-
ton Of our army upon Milan-but they had
not taken into their account the division of the
Grenadicrs and Chasscurs Of the Guard, com.
manded by General Mellinet. The division ra-
pidlv got together between Buffalora and Ma.
ccnta, not far from the spot where the Turcos
fought, and they very soon showed a front 10
the enemy.
Edwards noon the Austrians, after hesita-
ting for some time, decided to attack. The
Zouaves and Grenadiers united did not make
up more than 10000 men, but without budg'
ing 4 foot they held their own against the vain
ly energetic efforts of 10000 Anstrians; the
latter, surprised at such an obstinate resistance,
retired in good order, formed again, and re-
turned to the charge a second time. They
might as well have rushed against n brazen
rampant.
THE Guard soon became tired Of this pas
sive attitude, and resolved to take tho offensive.
1t charged and scattered the enemy. But the
latter, perceiving how small were the numbers
of the French, cam up again and again. Sc
ven times in the course Of two hours were these
heroic charges renewed
1.-THE Grenadiers and Zouaves were electrified
by the presence Of the Emperor, who, sword
in hand, supported and directed them. The

nous battalions of the military colonies-and of
those bands Of Croats who were said to rush into
the fire with the most enthusiastic cheers. At
the time of the offensive movement of the 3lst
Nav. the divisions of Generals Lila and Jel-
lachich had not less than 10000 men, accor-
ding to the avowal of the Austrian officers
themselves. They were covered BY a deep
canal, protected by n height, and defended by
an advantagcously placed battery. Three
battalions of Zouaves overthrow the whole
The affair of that day. said a major who had
been made prisoner, is incomprehensible to me.
We were fully persuaded that our position was
~imprcgnable. When we saw those men rush for
ward in front of the guns which were pouring
grape among them, then jump into the canal,
climb the bank, and continue to advance, our
battalions became disturbed; neither orders nor
threats were of any avail whatever They
at once gave way. And, nevertheless, those
soldiers are brave and well disciplined; they
would remain a ' whole day firm under fire, but

cing his shoulders, said, stupid fellow, is that
the way you use a bayonety | will show you
how to do it, and with that he ran his weapon
through the Austrian's body. What can be
done against such men Another thing which
is a matter Of surprise is the extreme youth of
many of the soldiers who have been made pri-
soners; many of them are from l6 to is years
of age. This fact may to a certain degree ac-
count for the manner in which they gave them
selves up. 4 corporal who brought in five
prisoners to the bivouac pushed them towards

DEBORAH LEE--A PARODY.

Some one, we know not whom, has had
he temerity to parody "Aunabel " Lee,
one OF the most beautiful gems in the
whole world of poesy but it is good and
will excuse his "poet's license :"
Tis dream or so of years ago,
some where in the west countree,
That nice girl lived, as the Hoosiers know,
BY the name of Deborah Lee:
Her sister was loved by Edgar Poe
But Deborah by me.
Nov was green and she vas green
As 4 summer squash might be;
But we loved as warmly as others love,
and my Deborah Lee;
With love that the lasscs of Hoosierdom
Coveted her and me.
But somehow it happened long ago,
In the aguish west countrco,
That chill March morning gave the shakes
To my beautiful Deborah Lee;
And the grim steam Doctor lcursc hiu,) came
And bore her away from me;
Tae Doctor and Death-old partners they
In the aguish west couatree.
The angels wanted her Up in Heaven,
But they never asked for me-
And that Is the reason, rather guess,
That the cold March l,ind and the Doctor
and Death
Took of my Deborah Lee
Aly beautiful Deborah Lee,
From the warm sunshine and opening flowers,
And hid her away from me
Our love was strong as a siH-horse team.
OR the lore of tie folks older than NC,
And possibly wiser than We;
But Death, with the aid Of the doctor and
steam,
Was rather too many for no
So he closed the peppers and stopped the
breath
OF my s5cstAe-rt, Deborah Lee;
And her form lies cold il the prairie mould
Silent and cold-ah, me-
The feet Of the hunter shall press her grave.
And the prairie's sweet Wild flowers
In their oiorous beauty around it wave,
Through all the summer hours,
The still, bright summer hours,
And the birds shall sing il the tuftcd grass.
And the nectar laden nee
With his dreamy hum on his gau=e-wiags

THE LAST DAYS OF AARON BURR.

The Lash DAYS CE AAhOA bUhH.
Mir Randall, iu his " Life of Tboaas
Jcferson," which is How completed, gives
a very particular account Of the famous
=. Burr Conspiracy the object of which
was to dismenIber the Uuiou, and OF that
remarkable pcrsou's trial for treason, all
of which tr1uspired while Mr. jefferson
was President OF the United States. Mr.
Jefferson las been charged with treating
Burr unfairly, during that memorable
;r.aI, aud Mr. Randall bas made au effort
that we tliak is laudable one, to prove
this charge an unjust one
We extract 4 few paragraphs from that
portion Of the work which IS derOted To
Burr:
Let Us nov complete What We have to
say Of Aaron Burr's history. He escaped
the punishment OF a traitor only to en-
dure more prolonged punishment
Abroad, according to the rule OF his lie,
he every where met with a g.eaIu Of sue.
cess to be rapidly followed by irrevocab!e
overthrow. His brilliant personal parts
won admiration, until hss Insinceritv, his
want of good faith, aud his prediSposl
tion to embark in dangerous schemes Of
any description that remotely promised to
better his fortunes, rendered him an OBJ
ject of personal and Governmental sus-
picion. England finally ordered him out
of her territories. He went to Sweden
and Germany, and reached France IN
1910, filled with projects which wers to
be preached to Napoleon. Alter spend
ing some moyhs IN Intellectual attempts
TO procure an audience, his funds ran low,
opd be vr,s resolved tn trust himself ap9in
in the United States. But, on applica-
ton, passport was denied him, and he
found he was under the surveillance of
the police The American diplomatic
officers turned their backs on hun, and
Russell, our Charge d d'Affaires, in answer
to his demand fox passport, replied that
he would give him one which would ''en-
able him to surrender himself for trial for
the ofienses with which he stood charged,
and h" no other" During the latter part
of 1910, and until July, 1911, he was
begging to be allowed to return home,
and was often, if We may credit his jour
nal. literally threatened with starvation.
In the last named year, he obtained per-
mission TO leave France, and embarked
for Amer:ca but the vessel was captured
and carried into England. He remained
there. driven to the most desperate shifts
to keep off hunger-subsisting by expe-
dients sometimes akin to beggary-unul
March, 1872, when he obtained money to
pay passage to Boston.
He arrived in New York IN disguise,
but finding the government would not
molest him, opened law office. The

The Searcy Eagle, after giving the
members Of our Legislature, as body, a
severe eastigation, has the following de-
served compliment to the few who exhib-
iteI more pa,riotism than acquisiiiveness /:
We are glad to know that amidst all the
corruption, there were q few men who
preferred honesty TO trickery-but what
could they do with such on orpoition.
We admire the course of Oates and
Fletcher, and the little band who stood
up boldly for justice. AS to those who
voted themselves pay, We
Scorn 70 count what feelings, rithered hopcs.
Strong provocations, hitter. burking wrongs,
The people have within their hearts, hot coils,
shnt up,
To leave then in their lazy dignities.
Nor would We wonder if
Thar hours work would breed prescriptions.
And that henceforth should sit for household
gods,
Shapes. bot from Tartarus.
We hope they will hear "per diem "
echoed from every home and hamlet in
the land Let it be branded On their
backs and burned into their hearts, till
legislators learn that honesty is the best
policy, and that public station does no,
legalize public theft.
