New recruits join at an average of thou
sand day. They are picked men, the
bravcst in both armics-thc foremost in
every battle In twcnty-scvcn days Italy
has been strcwn with twenty thousand
corpsos, men who sought an cpauct, and
found grave. 4 thousand fell in the va
rious early skirmishcs. A thousand mark
cd the invasion of Garibald Nine hun
drcd French and Sardinans pcrishcd at
Montcbcllo. Two thousand Austriaus per-
shcd on the same field. Two hundred
Iouaves were killed at Palcstro. Asmany
Sardinians died with them -Four hundred
AuStrians were drowned in the canal
More than twenty thousand must have
fallen in the action at BuiFalora and Ma
gcnta.
The Journal then speaks, by name, of
the distinguished officers killed and wound
cd adding:
"But this is the fortune of war;
There must be deaths, or there can be no
promotion. A dozen eager hands are rca-
dy TO grasp the baton as it falls from the
hand of the dying Marshal a dozen
hearts burn for the gold cpaulcts whose
last owner lies dead in the ditch From
the General of Division down to the sous
licutcnant each finds his commanders
corpse stcpping-stonc to his own glory"
An UpRIGHT JuDGE-In the case Of
the convicted and sentenced Gbcrln slave
rcscucrs, whom the Aboitionists hoped to
have discharged from imprisonment by the
Supreme Court of Ohio on haboas corpus,
Judge Swan thus nobly concludes the OPT
/ Mon of the Court:
Au cit;.op | ,r,,ll M
| oatc the Constitution or the law by inter
ference with fugitiycs from justice, but if
weary, frightened slave would appeal to
me to protect him from his pursucrs, it is
( possible might momcntarily forget my al
/ legiance to the law and constitution and
! give him a covert from those who were on
/ his track-thcrc are, no doubt many slave
holders who would thus follow the instincts
of human sympathy and if | did it, and
was prosecuted, condemned andimprisoncd
and brought by my counsel before this tri-
bunal on n habcas corpus, and was then
| permitted to pronounce Judgment in nv
own case, trust | should have the moral
courage to say before God and the coun-
! try, as | am now compelled to say, under
the solemn duties of Judge bound by my
official oath to sustain the supremacy of the
Constitution and the law The prisoners
must be rcmandcd."
Judge Swan was elected by the Rcpubli-
can party, and few days after he deliver
cd the above sentiments, his party met in
| State Convention to nominate Judge of the
Supreme Court and selected another man
to take his place.
a GooD-IIuMoRED REBUKE.-A ,cr-
tain good naturcd old farmer preserved his
constant good nature, let what would turn
up, One day while the black tongue pre-
vailed he was told that one of his red oxen
was dead.
" Is hc?' said the old man, "wcll he
was always bccchy old fellow Take off
his hide and take it down to Flctchcr's
it will bring the cash"
In an hour or two the man came back
with the news, that I.ine-back and his
| mate were both dead"
" Are they % said the old man, "wcll, I
took them from B, to save a bad debt
| never expected to get. Take the hides
down to Flctchcr's they will be as good as
cash"
In about an hour the man came back to
inform him that the nigh brindle was dead.
g is he - said the old man. "wcll, he
was very, very old OK. Take off the hide
and take it down to Flctchcr's it is worth
more than any of the others"
llcrcupon his wife, taking upon her the
Office of EIiphaz, rcprimandcd her husband
severely, and asked him if he was not
aware that his loss was a judgment from
Heaven for his wickcdncss.
" is it?' said the old man; "wcll, if
they take Judgment in cattle, it is the cast
est way c"npoy them"
SOWING TAREs.-A good story is told
of grave divine on Cape Cod, not long
since, who awokc from comfortable nap
in his chair, and discovered his amiablc
hclpmatc i'll the performance of an act for
which Governor Marcy once made charge
OF iitty cents to the Statc-in other words,
mcnding his pantaloons. Inspired with u
love of fun, which seldom affected him, he
inquired, "Why are you, my dear, like
the evil adversary spoken of in Scripture 2"
OF course she was unable to discover anv
resemblance. Because" said he, " while
the hnS6a"dmom slept, you soaccd Tie
