Abundant precedents can be found in the
history of our Revolutionary struggle for all
the actions of the present Administration.
The seizure of presses, the apprehension Of
ofdsafiected persons the searching for arms,
were all ,practiced by our Revolutionary
fathers. In their own language, "such pro-
ceediDgs may be abundantly justified by the
conduct of the freest nations, and the au
thority of the most judicious civilians" Let
any one who doubts this read the following
resolutions, passed by the Revolutionary
Congress, in the year 1777
WHEREAS: The States of Pennsylvania and
Delaware are threatened with immediate in
vasion from q powerful army, who have al
ready landed at the head of the Chesapeake
Bay; and whereas, principles of policy and
self preservation require that all persons who
may be reasonably suspected OF aiding or
abetting the cause of the enemy may be
prevented from pursuing measures I'M urious
to the public veal; therefore,
ResolUed: That the Executive authorities
of the States of Pennsylvania and Delaware
be requested to cause all persons within
their respective States, notoTioUsLy disaBected,
forthwith to be apprehended and secured till
such times as the respective States think
they may be released without injury to the
common cause.
ResolUed: That it be recommended to the
Supreme Executive Council of the State of
Pennsylvania to cause a diligent search to be
made in the houses of all inhabitants of the
city Of Philadelphia, who have not manifested
their attachment to the American cause, for
firearms, swords, bayonets, &c.
RESOLVED: That it be recommended to the
executive powers of the respective States
forthwith to apprehend and secure all per.
sons who have, in their general conduct and
department. evinced disposition inimicsl to
the cause of America. And that the persons
so seized be confined in such places, and
treated in such manner as shall be consistent
with their respective characters and the Sc
curity of their persons.
ResolUed: That persons Of like character,
and in emergencies equal to the present,
when the enemy is at our door, have in other
States been arrested and secured upon suspi-
cion arising from their general behavior, and
that such proceedings may be abundantLy justi-
fed By the conduct of the Jrsest nations and the
authority Of the most judiciouS ciOihGns.

The BUSINESS OF WAsHIEGToN.-The pri
valence of the war has had wonderful ef-
feet upon the business relations at Washing
ton, as any one who has visited the Capital
within the three months has readily observed
While only local improvements have been re
tarded by hostilities, all branches of trade
have largely increased. Heretofore, to be
sure, houses have been let during the sum
mer at very low rates, so many having been
vacated by the rebels who left for Secesh;
but of late prices have advanced beyond even
what they were a year ago, and to-day it ia
difficult TO get house in good repair at any
rent " Washington society promises this win
ter TO be, perhaps, not brilliant, but pleasant,
as large number of houses have been taken
by members Of Congress and those connected
bringing tPeir families here for the winter.
Already the season OF balls has commenced
and they are largely attended, as are ali

THE FUTURE QUEEN OF EyqLAuD-Tb,

TIE FUTURE QUEEN OF EEGLAND.-Those
who have an interest in the cOnjuga fate of
the Prince of Wales will be pleased to know
that the Princess Anna of Denmark, one of
the ladies spoken of as his destined bride, is
just fifteen, very fair, with most brilliant
complexion, and lovely fair hair, clustering
in thick curls about her neck and shoulders.
Her Royal Highness has been most carefully
brought up, and is possessed of a most
splendid musical talent, cultivated to its ut.
most extent by the first masters in Europe.
Altogether, she is considered one of the most
accomplished princesses in Europe; and her
portrait, in white muslin, with blue ribbons,
and single rosebud in her golden hair,
long formed one Of the greatest attractions
of Girouxs exhibitions at the Boulevards
The Princess of Hesse Dsrmstadt is not 80
well known, but is described as being fair
and comely, with chestnut hair, and is moi
only the beauty of the family, but is remark,
able for great sweetness and amiability o.
disposition, and is also slightly blue" The
Grand Ducal Palace, at which the Princess
Alice is to reside, bears the reputation of {
little paradise on earth, because of its undis
turbed harmony.

SHARP-A Vermont broom-peddler lately
agreed with Providence merchant to sell
him load of brooms, the payment to be
made half in cash and half in goods from
the Providence mans store at cost prices.
The brooms were brought in, and the cash
for half of them paid over.
"Now what will you have for the remain
der of your bill 2" asked the merchant.
"You Providence fellows are CUTE" was the
slow reply; "you sell at cost pretty much,
all of you, and make money; 1 don't see
how it's done. Now, don't know about
your goods-but one article; So seeing as
twon't make any odds with you, guess
I'll take brooms. I know them like book,
and can swear to jest what you paid for
'em" And so saying, the peddler, reload
ing his brooms, jumped on his cart with a
regular Vermont grin, and drove of.

EQUINE EPIDEMo.-A disease of peculiar
fatal nature has made its appearance among
the horses in Oneida and Oswego Counties,
N. Y. The animals are first taken stupid and
sleepy, lose their appetite entirely, and in
the course of three days die. A slight SWELL
ing in the region Of the nose is the only ex-
ternal abnormal system. The affection is
called the 'horse disease, "'and all remedies
or medicines, though they operate as ex-
pected, fail to cure or allay the affection.
Seven fine animals have died from it in North
Bay alone. In Oswego County upward of
seventy five have died.

How SoUTHERNERs ARE KEPT MAD
They have story in Richmond that Cen
eral Howard, an old gentleman, the candi-
date for Governor, and his son, Mr.. F. How
ard, were taken from their beds and from the
sides of their wives between one and two
o'clock on Thursday morning, by file of
soldiers, who wounded with their bsyonets
i'll treated Mrs. Howard that she died on the
Sunday following. Mr.. Lincoln thought "she
was served too well, and declared that the
wives and brats of traitors deserved to be
threaded on red hot jack chainsp To the
suffering children and wives of his victims
be replies to their request to be permitted to
see their parents with a refusal couched in
obscene and brutal language, or with some
filthy jest that could not be put upon paper.

Knitting socks for the soldiers has very
properly become the fashion of the day and

BENToN's MoTHER.-How touching the
tribute of Hon. I. H. Benton to his mothers
influence:
My mother asked me never to use tobacco.
have never used it from that to this day.
She asked me never to game, and can
not tell who is winning and who is losing
in games that can be played. She ad-
monished me, too, against hard drinking;
and whatever capacity for endurance
have at present, and whatever usefulness
may attain in life, have attributed to
having complied with her piOus and correct
wishes. When was seven years of age
she asked me not to drink, and made q
resolution of total abstinence at time when
1 was sole constituent member of my own
body; and that l have adhered. to it through
all time, owe to my mother"

A Paris journal tells of Oh. Grandemange,
a calculator" born without arms or legs
who possesses the faculty OfsolVing, and with
equal rapidity and accuracy, the most COM
plicated srithmetical and geometricsl prob
lems Though of humble birth, uneducated,
and deprived of the most indispensable mem
bers, he has learned to write with his mouth.
At first, he had no clear conception of the
means by which he effected his calculations /;
but he has at last succeeded after long
study, not only in forming a clear idea of his
processes, but also in explaining them so as to
teach others. Grandemange has, in fact, be-
come professor of mental calculation at the
Superior Primary School of Orleans, having
previously held the same position at the Nor
which forbid the admission of foreign pro-
fessors; and the pupils that he has already
taught proEe that his process Of calculation
may be acquired by others.

Information has been received at Washing
ton that the rebel leaders at Richmond have
arrested and imprisoned William Byrd, lately
q clerk in the Auditors Office of the War
Department here, and man named Martin,
factotum for Jake Thompson, of Mississippi,
while he was Secretary of War. Byrd OBJ
tanned an appointment under this Admins
tration, and was for some time employed in
auditing the accounts of the War Depart
ment with the various railroads. A few
weeks ago he obtained leave of absence for
week, and was next heard of in a paragraph
published in the Augusta Georgia. Chronicle,
stating that he had arrived there from Wash
ington on his way to Richmond, aud an
nOuncing that he had obtained situation in
the War Department for the purpose of OBJ
taiRing information that would be valuable
to the rebels With view to communicate
this information he went South, but has be-
come a subject of suspicion at Richmond,
aud been arrested as Federal spy. His in
famous treachery is thus justly rewarded.
Martin attained an infamous notoriety in
connection with the Lecompton affair in
Kansas. He was third-class clerk in
Thompson's department, and was detailed as
the agent of the Buchanan Administration,
to take the pro-Blavery amendments 10 the
Constitution out to Kansas, and lobby it
through the Territorial Legislature. Having
thus made himself the tool of traitors in ex-
ecuting this commission, which was the first
step toward the development of the rebellion
that now menaces the safety of the Republic,
he committed a double treason by taking the
oath of allegiance TO this Government and
then going South to aid his former employ
ers. Having used him and knowing his pro
pensity to treaehery, they have rewarded
him also by arrestiDg him as Federal spy
