Fifty Men Driven by Two Women.

Mr. Mead, who OWNS dam and mill at
the forks of Black River, is now absent from
home, and had left in charge his wife and an
adopted daughter, Ellen. The drivers Of the
logging firm of Whitcomb, Morse and Nor
gan, about fifty in number. came down and
found some logs in Mead's dam with the
mark of their company upon them; where
upon they set to work with axes to cut the
dam away. Mrs. Mead, hearing of the row.
fastened out, followed by Ellen, each with q
rifle one loaded with heavy buck shot and
the other with balls. and taking a favorable
position, they cooked their pieces. pointed
them at the men. and told them not to strike
another blow or some of them would be
dead men! The choppers incontinently left!
Mrs Mead then agreed to compensate them
for all the logs that might be in the dam be
longing to them.
subsequently. the drivers seized young
man in the employ of Mr.. Mead, whom they
charged with stealing some provisions be-
longing to the drivers. Ellen again sailed
out rifle in hand, and told them not to hurt
hair Of his head and they didn't! They
let the boy 80. The men very suddenly dis.
covered that they had got into bad row of
-tumps, and Mrs. Mead and daughter were
left masters of the field. Here's woman
grit for you-ffty men driven by two wo-
men. Can revolutionary history show a

"Ths only National Party"

In his speech at the Warehouse oh Satur-
day last, Mr. Smith referred to the present
aspect and tendency of political affairs. and
dwelt upon that favorite idea of Southern
Democratic politicisns--the necessity OF n
thorough fusion of all parties South. to ena-
BILE the Democracy to triumph and preserve
the rights uf the South. We have SAID SO
much upon the subject, and so often attempt
ed to rebut the dogma that it is within the
power Of the South to maintain the Union.
by a consolidation of all parties, that we hes
itste about referring to it again. But as IL
forms the chief staple in which the Southern
Democracy trade, we can only show the fal-
lacy of their argument by presenting the
real facts in the case. and by indicating their
inability even &c keep their party together
much less preserve the Union. We believe
that as q national organization the Democra-
CIV il hopelessly overthrown, and that an IT.
reooncileable feud now exists between its
members, North and South, which. even the
cohesive power of the public plumber" will
fail to heal 1t is useless for Gov. Smith or
anybody else to be talking about ''the only
national party" We sincerely believe that
il is the chief impeachment to restoration Of
rood feeling between the two sections, and
Believing this, we as earnestly desire to see it
annihilsted utterly. We want national,
conservative, Union party, with statesman
l;he Rel. or Crittenden, at at its head, ignor-
ING sectional issues, and content to leave the
slsysry question where the Constitution and
he laws have placed it.-Lynchbu'g Fir.

The question as to the period of the incum-

be too short a term. There seems to be a
disposition to grant Geffrard such privileges
as would make him king in all but name

Letter from Hon. Caleb Cushing.

BosToN, 18th June, lS59.-SIR: In re-
Spouse to your inquiry as to what legal con
dition you, born in Turkey, and natural
lied citizen of the United States, will have
in Turkey. during proposed sojourn there
state:
The laws of the United States do not admit
the indefeasibility of natural allegiance. The
assertion of the right of self-expatriation Is
one of the principles of the fundamental pub
lie laws of the American Union. We hold
that the power to change domicle is of uni
versal natural right, subject only to such
conditions as may be requisite to reconcile
the general with individual interests
These conditions are the exercise of good
faith in the time and circumstances and IN
the purpose of the change of domicile, the
actual contamination of the purpose, and the
discharge of all subsisting obligations in or
to the country left. Such, according to my
understanding of the matter, always has
been, and still continues to be the doctrine
maintained BY the American Government
1t being material to you, however, to pos
sess official assurance on this point, have
presented your case to the notice OF the Sec
retarv of State; and / have his answer to
the effect that, in the case of person emf
grating to the United States, and becoming
naturalized here, with no present liabilities
to his native country, military or other, ex-
listing against him at the time Of his emigra-
tion-in such case the law of nations or
the opinion of the American Government
gives no right to any foreign country to in
terfere with him, and the attempt to do 80
would be considered an act unjust In itself
and unfriendly to the United States.
And, therefore, subject to the reservations
above stated, you will be entitled in Turkey
to be regarded as citizen of the United
States am, respectfully, c. CUSHING.
Mr.. ALEXANDER SID.
1.-THE subject is one, undoubtedly, which
admits of fair and free discussion, and, on
which, intelligent men may well differ, with
much to be said on both sides. But, it seems
to US, upon the whole, that the views set
forth above, and which are supported, gene,
rally. by precedent and official authority, are
those which will be, for the most part, acqui'
esced in, and regarded as safest and best for
this country to follow, especially in the pre-
sent condition of affairs and under the e1'
listing laws of European nations.

A Wolf in shesp,s Clothing.

A most sha meful betrayal of confidence
took place last Sunday night, about eight
miles from this city. A man by the name
of Taylor, a member of the church, had sold
out all his effects, with the intention of re-
turning with his family to Texas. He had
-, 900, which he buried for safe keeping
intending to start away on the steamer Of
the Goth instant At his house was q
preacher named Cook, who was penniless,
and whom Taylor, sympathizing with his
situation and being member Of the same
church, had promised tu pay his passage to
the Atlantic side. In addition to eviEcing
this kind feeling to Cook, so great conf
dence had he in him that he showed the
preacher where he had his money hid
Last Sunday. Taylor and his wife started for
church, Cook remaining behind, under the
plea Of sickness. During their absence
Cook dug up the $1,000 and started for parts
unknown. When Taylor returned home he
discovered his loss, and found himself penni
less in the world, and the man in whom he
had placed so much confidence was a robber
of his little wealth. The last seen of Cook
was on the Calaveras river, when he was
making quick time on foot.-Sockton CAL

The important NEWS now received every
week from EUROPE, absorbs public attention
on this side of the Atlantic, as we'll as on
the other side; and our people take as much
interest in the progress of events as those
who live in the countries more immediately
contiguous to the scene of war. 1t is with
us, however, the interest of spectators in Il
thrilling drama happily and fortunately
not as those likely to be concerned on the
theatre of action. We are far removed from
the strife. and long may We be spared from

tionsl commissions, bringing, generally. disas-
