CHAPTER Z.

A thriving inland town, celebrated for its in
dustry and the number of its factories, lay snug
" nestled between the hills of the old Bay State,
and the spires of its four churches graceful
ly above the tall elms and lowered against the
blue sky.
1t was four o'clock on November afternoon.
and Frederic Southwick left the store where he
wss engaged as clerk, to proceed to the hotel.
where he boarded, and where an early tea await
ed him. AS he ascendcd to the piazza steps the
obsequious landlord hurried to meet him.
"My dear young gentleman, have the honor
to inform you that young lady came in on the
three o'clock train, and is waiting in the parlor
to see you"
Proceeding through the hall in advance OF
Frederic, the worthy host threw open the door,
and, as he entered, the lady arose from her seat,
and turned her face towards him. The sombre-
of her mourning robes had at first disguised her
figure. they could not her face and in mo-

Camerone nodded assent, brushing away the
silent tears that trembled thickly on her long
lashes, and pressing Carries hand in her own.
The girls breathing grew shorter and more
faint, and she closed her eyes wearily, but pres

The death shade was already on her brow, and

gal force and effect to assignments of

the time of tie execution thereof, to be
valid, should be filled with the names
Of the assignees.
The effect Of this decision, which is
prescribed as a regulation to govern in
the execution of all ASST gnments here
after, will be to prevent frauds conse-
quent upon the loss Of warrants assign
ed in blank, or incident to placing
them in that condition in the hands of
untrustworthy agents.
I'd. Under this ruling, no ASST gn-
mcnts in blank will hereafter he certified
by this office or recognized as valid,
either at this or tie local land office.
Sd. This decision, however, will
not effect past transactions, under the
old practice, where such assignments
as had been made in blank are duly
filled up with the name of the real own
er as assignee before they reach this or
the local office; provided they are
found regularly attested, and acknowl-
edged, and certified. and are unim-
peached ON the files ofthe Department.

EXTRA SESSION OF THE SENATE.
Tuesdoy, March 10, 1861.

The resolution introduced by Mr.. Douglas,
asking for information in relation to the FORTS
&C.. was iaken'up.
Mr. Clingman argued that the inaugural did
not mean peace. If it did, why was not this
policy announced2 He gave, as his opinion, 1t
was the settled purpose Of the Administration
to involve us very soon in civil war. The 81.
lence of the Republicans afforded proof Of this
to his mind. He had information, within the
last two or three days, that reinforcements and
heavy guns are going South, to take possession
of the forts in North Carolina, Virginia, and
elsewhere.
Mr.. Clark said the Republicans had been
accused Of being mute but he had reason to
believe that no one knew anything more Of the
Presidents purposes than was found in the III.
augural.
Mr. Clingman resumed, and, in conclusion,
said he could not adopt the view of Senator
Douglas-that the inaugural meant peace
when all the facts point toward collision and
war.
Mr.. Hale made few remarks in reply, say.
ing he presumed he would sustain the same re-
lations here that the Senator from North Caro-
lima would, namely: give cordial support to
all patriotic purposes of the Administration
which may commend themselves to his judg
ment. He would endeavor to do the same, and
then they would both belong to the same party.
Mr.. Chandler made brief speech to show
that the irrepressible conflict and the higher
law did not originate with either Mr.. Seward
or Mr.. Lincoln, as had been charged. 1t was
found in the Bible. Nor did the blood letting
doctrine originate with him, but with Jeifer-
son, who, in writing from France in 1887, said
the tree of liberty must be refreshed with
the blood of tyrants and patriots, and that this
was the natural manure. He also examined
the vote of the late Presidential election, to
show that over three millions Of people had re.
pudiated the platform Of Mr.. Breckinridge's
party; and that the people, last November,
rendered their verdict in this case, which it was
too late to reopen.
Mr.. Simmons replied to Messrs. Douglas and
Clingman, saying as to the tariff the refusal of
the Confederate States to pay duties on imports
would make no sensible difference in the rev.
enues, and that in six months all things would
become quiet, if it were not for the politicians,
whose vocation it was to agitate, and who
never earned dollar. AS to Mr.. Lincoln, no
former President entertained more friendly
and kinder feelings toward the South than he
did.
The Senate went into an Executive session,
and soon after adjourned.
