II The "Disunion Lie" is thus nailed by
Virginia paper-thc Lynchburg Virginian: s.The
opinion is advanced by Southern Democratic
paper, that the failure of the Charleston Conven-
ton to agree upon a candidate for the Pfesiden-
cy will eyentuate IN speedy dissolution Of the
Union. We dispute that. The fate Of this Tn
ion i not in the especial keeping Of the Demo-
cratic or any other party The Union is the in
heritance Of the people of the United States,
and it, fate is in their hands. The politicians
cannot deprive the Of it. They only can de-
termine its duration. Let fair proposition for
disunon be submitted to them by the politicians,
and they will spurn it with kicks and curses from
their presence Let the politicians try it il they
choose. A convention may meet and wrangle,
and break up in row, but they will not heed 1t.

paign OF 1858 and since then TO give him re-
putaton ut the South. Mr.. Lincoln proved 10

lying TO the North to secure reelection. while
at heart he was disposed to go to the fullest ex-
tent OF Southern demands. This il just the
point And now Mr.. Douglas is doing homage to

having the speeches printed at his own expense,

Some Of the hypercriiics are trying to draw
consolation from the fact that the Republicans
declared their determination to stick to Sherman
for Speaker. Such was their purpose, and they
executed it right manfully, in despite of all at
tempts to drive them from their position. They
never iiinched nor fltered, nor broke their ranks
The Republicans voted for him in solid phaianx
until he himself rose in his place and with.
drew his name as candidate. This he did in
view Of the fact that by the capitulation OF the
Democrats and Disnnionsts to the South Ameri-
cans, he had ceased to have plurality OF the
votes cast. At this point, for tile Republicans to
insist on the use Of his name any longer, was to
court defeat As this was not their object, but
success rather, they adopted the only course left
open to defeat their adYersaries. 1t is no won.
der those adyersaries lament the change and com.
plain OF it. These complaints are very natural.
but it they can derive consolation from the event
~ question, all we can say is, they arc satisfied
with homeopathic dose of that blessiny.--N. Y.

A Funny OH MAm.-The Betsey Farmer
will, which was lately before the New Hampshire
Supreme Court at Exeter. and on which the Jury
were unable to agree, was contested by Daniel
Farmer, Of Manchester, an uncle of Betsey's, and
the only heir at-law Of the estate. Miss Farmer,
who lived at Lcwton, was very singular woman
and was proyerbial for her miscrly habits and
uncleanness Of person. She lived on farm
which was under her sole direction, and from
which she derived much Of her income; at her
decease, in 1856, at an advanced age, she was
worth upwards Of 10000, and her estate is now
worth nearly 100000. In her will, she gave
5000 to the Baptist foreign missionary society,
out of respect to her parents, who were Baptists,
and also made other though smaller requests to
her acquaintance; but the bulk of her property
was left to be divided equally among all her rea-
tiyes, after first giving the amount Of her faith
er's property, when married, to his friends, and
her mothers property to her friends, to be d.
yided equally among the descendants Of the res
pcctive branches of the family. Her mother
and herself were constantly engaged in spinning
and weaving, and never parted, while living, with
their manufactures, and the auction sale of her
personal estate lasted eight days before every
thing was sold Among the articles disposed Of
at the sale, manufactured by herself and mother
were 63 pairs linen sheets, 80 pairs wool blan-
kets, over 800 pairs linen pillow cases, fowls
and whole pieces Of cloth, almost without num-
Der. When she died she had over 81, 900 in sill
yer coin in her house, nearly a half bushcl Of
which was old Spanish half dollar pieces. She
never attended religious meetings and was ex-
| tremely filthy in her house. She had when she
died IL cats, and an upper room which they in
habitedw was afterwards cleaned Of eleven bushels
| Of cat-droppings" II is claimed by her uncle,
who is rich and misery old man, that her will
| was made BY her while under the influence Of
Henry Farmer, second cousin, who is said TO be
| a spiritualist and mesmerizer, and that he mes
merized her before her death for the purpose Of
making her sign the win.
