G. V. EsKRIDGE-DEAR SIR: Burlington,
had convention of some go of her citizens
on Saturday night at late hour, and put in
nomination county and Representative
ticket and so identified their interests that
all the disaffected are driven TO The SUPPORT
of the Neosho Rapids nominations, which I
now feel confident will carry the county.
They are all bitter anti Robinson men.
Respectfully, JOHN T. Cox.

6 TIE AMERICAN UNION"

In Justice to all engaged on this issue Of
the best Union paper ever printed in Mar
tinsburg, Virginia, mcexpanHtion should
be made as to the manner in which the
project originated and was carried out At
dark on the evening of the Bird two dis
ciples of Faust came to the writer Of these
lines and proposed to get out a newspaper
for the glorious 4th. The idea was adopted,
was submitted to the high authorities and
approved Of by them, and volunteer prip.
tiers were then called for. They stepped
out by dozens, proving the patriotism Of the
craft, and at ten o'clock the squad of twelve
entered the Office of the "Virginia Repub-
ican," struck a light, found plenty of paper
ink, &c and went to work. The result of
the nights labor is before you, reader, and
under the circumstances we tave no apology
to make for its imperfectious
The "Virginia Republican was bitter
organ Of the secessionists until recently,
when its editor closed up the concern and
joined the rebel army. The Office was
Uttered with the evidences of treason, and
standing on the press, clicked up ready
to work, was form containing several
secession songs.

40 has constrained our fellow, citizens,
taken captive on the high seas, to bear arms
against their country, to become the exc
cutioners Of their friends and brethren, or
to fall themselves by their hands,
He has excited domestic instructions
amongst US, and has endeavored to bring
on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the
merciless Indian savagcs, whose known
rule Of warfare is an undistinguished de-
struction of all ages, sexes aud conditions.
In every stage Of these expressions, we
have petitioned for redress, in the most
humble terms our repeated petitions have
been answered only by repeated injury. A
prince, whose character is thusamarked by
every act which may deiaosa tyrnt, is IN. p
fit to DO the ruler of free people.
Nor have we been wanting in atten-
ton to our British brethren. We have
warned them, from time to time, of at,
tempts made by their legislature to ex'
tend an unavailable jurisdiction over
us. We have reminded them Of the
circumstances Of our emigration and
settlement here. We have appealed
to their native justice and magnanimity,
and we have conjured them, ythe ties
Of our common kindred, to disavow
these usurpations, which would inevita.
bly, interrupt our connections and cor
respondence. They, too, have been deaf
to the voice ofjustice and consanguini-
ty. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the
necessity which denounces our separa-
ton, and hold them, as we hold the
rest Of mankind, enemies in war, in
peace, friends.
We, therefore, the representatives Of the UNI
TED STATES OF AMERICA, in GENERAL
CONGRESS assembled, appealing to the Su-
preme Judge Of the World for the rectitude Of
our intentions, do, in the name, and by the au-
shortly Of the good people of these colonies

Curiosity as n Substitute for
Courage.

A writer Tor the Eastern press tells these an
ecdotes as illustrations of the power of curiosi-
ty: @ n
/ once admired a certain young lady-would
have liked to marry her-didn't care to ask her
couldn't ask her-never in the world should
have had the courage to ask her; but one day
my curiosity got the better of me. was curl
GUS to know what she would say, that positive
ly did ask her, and she said "Yes." But, heav-
en- bless you'll that wasn't courage, but curiosity
--purt, sheer, unadultered curiosity.
/ remember once my big brother fell into the
mill-pond-a very injudicious proceeding on
his part, for be couldn get out. / saw him and
would have been glad to have taken him by the
neck and dragged him out and gave him agood
licking. which he richly deserved for getting
his clothes wet and spelling my watch, which
he had in his pocket; but l dinn't have the
courage to 60 near him.
l remembered all the stories had heard
about drowning fellows pulling in others who
tried to help him-was awfully frightenened,
scared, and cowardly-kepl on thinking about
the danger of going near drowning fellows-the
certainty Of going to Davy Jones' with them
thought very fast--remembered in ten Sec
onds every story had ever heard of in such in
stances-got more and more scared every second
all this time Big B. was going through con-
icai, serious, ueous Sy inHpsteS P.ePN"'oit W
making his bed at the bottom of the pond
knew he'd spoil his breeches il he did this, and
alsc spoil my watch (lepine, silver, cost 81 25.
on four months time.)
Began to feel great curiosity to know il the
watch had stopped yet; alsoto know if drown
ing fellow does pull drowning fellows in. Gu
riosity got the better of me at last, and posi-
lively went in. and, instead of b. B. pulling
me to the bottom, pulled him to the top. and
dragged him TO the bank. Never should have
done it in the world but curiosity pulled me
through, and pulled him out. Then licked
him for not taking off my watch when he went
to drown.
Curiosity has increased every day of my life,
till now it's so great that believe I would 20

We learn the following particulars OF

We learn the following particulars OF the
history of Col. Seigel:
Col. Frank Ssigel, who SO gallantly led
the United States forces against the Mis-
souriaus at Carthage, is about tLirty-seven
years of age. He is native of Baden,
and was graduated at the military school
at Carlsruhe. He entered the regular ar
my of Baden, and was advanced to the
post Of Chief Adjutant in ls47. His
sympathies with the first revolution in
Southern Germany lost him his commits
sion. He was appointed Generalin- Chief
in the beginning Of the second revelation,
May, 1s4s, and led the forlorn hope Of
the liberal party with great energy and
zeal. He came to America in 1850; was
a Professor in DR.. Dulon's Academy, and
married DR.. Dulon's daughter. He re-
ceived a call to profsssorship in st. LOUIS
where he soon became distinguished by ms
great military talents.

rEHeeuan PROPOSES to fight the OF,

EF Heenan proposes to fight the great
English pugilist Mace, who has just whip
ped Hurst. How diplomotically these "brui-
sers" talk about fisticuff appears by the
following from "The Spirit Of the Times"
"Heenan himself has. placed himself in
the hands of one Of his nearest friends in
this matter;a gentleman and sportsman
widely known, and truly respected. The
latter thinks that it is duty Heenan owes
to his friends in the former contest; to
those impartial and candid Engiishmen
who pronounce against the former outrage !;
to himself, and last, not least, perhaps, to
Tom Sayers, that he should, like the last
of the Barons, stand forth once again to
test the quality of these new men, This,
then, is the aspect of the case, as authori-
tatiyely presented through US. Neither
Mace nor King can be champion until one
Of them has defeated Heenan in fair con-
test,
