' briquet of the "Marion of the army" At its
3 close he returned to his farm in Indiana; but
8 was soon appointed Territorial governor Of Ore
t gon. He went thither, overland in six months
E amid immense hardships. He was governor Of
> Oregon till the election of Gen. Zachary Taylo,
as President, when he was superseded in the
e position. Soon after he was sent as delegate
: from Oregon to Congress and when the Terri
e tory was admitted as State in 1859, he was
elected one of her Senators. This position he
D fills now. He is described as brave, whole.
souled, honest incorruptble, man. 1t is even
hinted that his honesty and incorruptibility are
f the cause why he has not hitherto taken q more
Z marked and distinguished stand among the
politicians of his country.
AS an illustration of the doctrine, that
'there is no sex in mind" at least in point Of
heroism, we might cite an Aspasia of the ancents
Maid of Orleans, or Moll Pitcher Of the Ameri-
} can revolution. But We need not 60 80 far;
) there are instances of o more recent date. One

valides of Paris in her eighty eigth year Of age.
She was born and married in camp. Angelique
Duchemiu-her alias, or other name-was &C.
tually admitted in 1892 into the 42nd Regiment
of Infantry. In the siege of Calvi, she received,
while working six FOUNDER, a wound which
drove her to the "Hotel." Louis Napolean con-
ferred on her "the Cross of the Legion of Honor
and the st. Helena medal" 2.-Madame Bos-
ini and Madame Dagobert distinguished them
selves during the Franco Sardinian war last year,
at Magenta. They were musicians to the Zonave
Guards. Madame Dagobert received three
wounds. They were both honored with a mill,
tary medal also, on the 18th of last June. g.
The third case happened near Havana, on the
island of Cuba. We premise that the island is
infested with robbers to q wretched extent.
Five of these riotous gentleman few days ago
in the evening entered house containing man,
his wife and an only child. One of them fired
at the man, grazing his head and throwing him
into swoon, from which he did not recover for
come minutes. The heroic mother, instantly
extinguished the lamp, placed the infant she
was nursing under the table, got hold of pair
of pistols hanging on the wall and fred among
the bandits, killing one, wounding another and
driving the rest away. 4.-But the following
advertisement, by Mrs. A. C. TILToN, in the
Iron Valley (Ohio) Ezpress lis it not suggestive
of an iron age p caps the climax of all "Notice
is hereby given all gentlemen (and those who
ore not) not to insult me by word, look or action,
in the street or elsewhere. If they do, will
kill them, as I always 60 armed" We wonder
if the doctrines of Womau's Rights originate in
this pseudo heroism of her nature?
- Hon. VIM. L. YANcEY on his return to
Alabama from tie Baltimore Conventions, pass
ed through Greenvile, where he had left his wife
with her relatives, and where he had studied
law twenty. one years ago. The people received
him with many demonstrations of high respect.
At night the large Court House at Greenville
was crowded with an eager audience, which Mr..
YANcEY addressed for an hour and half, tri-
umphantly vindicating the doctrines of the
sMajority Platform" and severely castigating
Sauatter Sovereignty. The Southern Enterprise,
from which we gather the above item, says that
Mr. YANcEY is suffering from severe bronchial
affection but has consented to lecture in the
principal Northern cities during the coming
canvass. Those who are disposed to call Mr..
YAScEY disunionist per ss--that is, just for the
fun of the thing-may, as Capt. Cutie in Dick
ems "Dombey & Son" done Of everything, make
note of this fact.
- The free-negro, we believe, meets with
but very little sympathy either North or South.
We regard him in the main as a dead.head at
best. Yet he may be made tool of. Listen to
what the New York correspondent of the Mont
gomery advertiser says
"Let me call your attention to growing evil
in YOUR midst, which, if it is not checked, will
lead to serious consequences. l allude to the
custom which is beginning to prevail in the South
of free negroes Of that section visiting the North
in the summer time. have already met sever
al Charleston mu!attoes travelling on the North
River and Boston boats. These fellows pass the
season here in much the same style as their su-
periors, and return, when the winter months set
lin. to their Southern homes. While here, they
undoubtedly fall in with abolitionists, and who
knows to what extent they are used as tools
among the negro population at home? The fire.
ouent murders of whites by slaves, and the run
aways to the North, may be owing to the secret
emissaries The attention Of every Southern Leg,
isature should be called to these grave circum-
stances and laws passed and vigorously e1ecu-
ted, preventing negroes or half breeds from re-
turning to the South after once absenting them
selves, under pain of some severe punishment
even death rather than the existence of such an
evil. I hope the Southern press will take up the
matter and press it upon the consideration Of the
people, for it is evident that native mulatto is
far more dangerous, for many reasons, than a
white one"
We have received two or three numbers
of Halls Journal of Health, On excellent month.
ly of twenty four reading pages, published in
New York at one dollar per aunum. Its philos.
ophy is shadowed forth in these three sentiments
which grace the title page, namely: "health is
a duty :" 'men consume too much food and toe
little pure air; they take too much medicine
and too little exercise; and 81 labor for the good
time coming, when sickness and disease, except
congenital or from accident, will be regarded as
the result of ignorance or animalism, and vii
degrade the individual, in the estimation Of the
good, as much as drunkenness now does" These
views may be regarded as somewhat Utopian
The Journal however, contains many excellent
things and is quoted more perhaps than any
other periodical of its size in the United States
Here, for instance, from the last number, is q
clever excoriation on that "indispensable" part
of dinner, the dessert:
"These are the agents which cause vast
