Revolutionary Anecdote.

In the 4th of July sermon on the "Hand
of God in American History" preached at
Putney, by Rev. Pliney H. White, several
incidents were narrated to show how largely
our revolutionary sires were influenced by
religious considerations in carrying on war.
Among these incidents, were the following,
which if ever printed before, must have been
buried in some obscure place, only to be ex-
humed by the prying research OF an anti
quarry:
zone of the regiments in the battle of Ben
nington, was commanded by Colonel, who
when at home WAS deacon. lie was a
calm. sedate, determined man, and went to
the battle because he was impelled by a
sense of duty. His whole parish was in his
regiment: so was their beloved pastor, with
out whose presence and blessing they scarce
ly thought themselves in way to prosper.
The Colonel was ordered by Gen. Stark to
reinforce one of the wings, which was suffer
ing severely. He marched at the distant
enemy with his forces, but as slowly and
composedly as if he had been marching to a
Conference meeting. The officer in com
mand of the corps TO be relieved, fearing
that he should be compelled to give way,
sent to hasten the Col. Tell 'em we're COM
ing said be, and marched steadily on. A
second messenger came, with the intelligence
that the wing was beginning to fall back.
That will make room for us tell 'em we're
coming replied the Colonel, with unmoved
countenance and unacceerated pace. A
third messenger reached him just as his
troops mereed from behind coppice, in
full view of the enemy, whose balls now be-
gan to whistle about them.
"'Halt.' commanded tie Colonel; form
column and attend prayers And there in
the face of the enemy, did the regiment
pause, while solemn prayer was offered for
their success in the deadly struggle they
were about to begin. Prayer being ended,
the Colonel addressed his men in a speech,
which for brevity, conciseness and vigor, may
bear comparison with any Caesar or Napoleon
ever addressed to their troops: Soldiers,
said he, 'our wives and children are in the
rear, the Hessans are in the front, give it to
to them. They did give it to them;' and
that band of. foreign mercenaries melted
away before those Christian soldiers, as the
host Of the uncircumcised Philistines melted
away before the armies Of Israel.

Dinner was spread in the cabin of that
peerless steamer, the New World, and a
splendid company were assembled about the
table. Among the passengers thus prepared
for gastronomic duty, WAS little creature
of the genius Fop decked dainty as an ear
ly butterfly, with kids of rreproachable
whiteness, miraculous" neck-tie, and spider
quizzing- glass on his nose. The delicate
animal turned his head affectedly aside With
"Wai;ah"

"Yis waitah, tell the steward to wub my
plate with a vegetable, wulgerly called
onion, which will give delicious llavaw to
any dinnah."
While the refined exquisite was giving his
order, jolly Western drover had listened
with open mouth and protruding eyes,
When the dimlnutlve creature paused, he
brought his fist down upon the table with a
force that made every dish bounce, and
thundered out
Here! you gaul darned ace of spades"
"Yis, sah."

"Sah?"

The poor dandy showed pair of straight
tails instanter, and the whole table joined in
TREMENDOUS roar"

sent the following volunteer toast: "1Spruee

thus pithily replies
Kansas has certainly "bled freely in re-
sisting the aggreSsionS of Border Ruffians"
and Buchanan "Swindles." But she has
not bled in vain. Her resistance, so far
has produced glorious results. On the one
hand we have witnessed four years of Gov
ernment oppression, fraud aud outrage, in
efforts to ''erush out the Free-SOiI spirit"
On the other, we have seen that spirit"
aroused and inVincible, crushing out" the
Oppressors.
The effort to enslave Kansas has demor-
allied two Administrations. 1t has driven
three Kansas Democratic Governors into

seats OF fifteen Demomocratic u S. Sena-
