General JacksOn's Noble Wife.

Many of our public men have been blessed
with wives and mothers who were the ornaments
of their sex, and by their quiet and ennobling
influence contributed largely to the subsequent
greatness Of their children and husbands. Mr..
Parton tells the following story Of Gen. Jacksons IS
wife:
When Gen. Jackson was a candidate for the
Presidency in 1928, not only did the party op-
posed to him abuse him for his public acts, which,
il unconstitutional or violent, were a legitimate
subject OF reprobaton, but they DETAINED the
character of his wife. On one occasion a news
paper published in Nashville was laid upon the
Generals table. He glanced over it, and his
eyes fell on an article in which the character OF
Mrs. Jackson violently assaled. So soon as
he had read it be sent for his trusty old servant,
Dunwoodie.
"Saddle my horse" said he to him in whis-
per- "and put my holsters on him." Mrs. Jack
son watched him though she heard not word
she thought she saw mischief in his eyes, The
General went out, after few moments when she
took up the paper and understood everything
She ran out to the south gate of the yard of the
Hermitage, by which the General would have to
pass. She had not been there more than few
seconds before the General rode up with the
countenance of a madman. She placed herself
before his horse, and cried OUT
go, General, don't go to Nashville Let that
poor editor live. Let that poor editor live"
"Let Inc alone he replied how came you to
know what am going for ~
She answered, 81 saw it all in his paper after
you went out put up your horse and go back"
He replied furiously, but will go-get out
of my wayW
Instead of doing this she grasped the bride
with both hands.
lie cried to her, 81 say, let go my horse; I'll
have his hearts blood-the villain that reviles
my wife shall not live"
She grasped the reins but the tighter, and be-
gan to expostulate with him, saying that she was
the one who ought to be angry, but she forgave
her prosecutors from the bottom of her heart,
and prayed for them-that he should forgive, if
he had hoped to be forgiven. Al last. by her
reasoning, her entreaties and her tears, she so
worked upon her husband that he seemed modified
to some extent She wound up by saying "No.
General, you shall not take the life of even my
reviler-you dare not do it, for it is written
Vengeance is mine, | will repay, saith the
Lord p"
The iron-nerved hero gave way before the
earnest pleading of his beloved wife, and replied:
81 yield to you; but had it not been for you,
and words of the Almighty, the wretch should
not have lived an hour"

BEES AND FRUIT TREEs-A writer in q literary
journal OF Paris states that the bees greatly i'm
prove the modification of fruit trees. Orchards
in which several hives are kept, always produce
more fruit than those in which there are none.
In the provinces on the Rhine, the fruits are far
more abundant and finer than in other parts of
Germany, and there it is the custom TO keep
large quantities Of bees. Plants too, which bees
visit, thrive better in the neighborhood of hives

A Bold Stroke by Government.
TREMENDOUS HAUL OF 'TELEGRAMt

TREMENDOUS HAUL OF 'TELEGRAMS.
MOUNTAIN OF EVIDENCE AGAINST TRAITORS.
At precisely three o'clock yesterday afternoon,
by order Of the Government, descent was
made by the United States marshals upon
every considerable telegraph Office throughout
the free States, and the accumulated dispatches
Of the twevemonth past were seized. The OBJ
ect was to obtain evidence Of the operations of
the Southern rebels with their Northern accom-.
plices, which the confidential kilograms passing
between them could most certainly furnish.
The seizures in all the principal cities were
made at precisely the same time, so as to pre-
vent the destruction of evidence which might
have followed the receipt Of q warning from
any particular point The whole matter was
managed with the greatest secrecy, and so well
planned that the project was a complete sue
cess. By this bold man9uvre, the Government
has obtained possession Of mass of evidence
Of the greatest Importance. The secret opera.
tions of Northern traitors are laid bare, and
those who have aided and abetted the rebellion
are now completely at the mercy of tho officers
OF the law.
In this city alone, the dispatches in the hands
Of the Federal officers amount TO many thou.
sands, and include, of course, information in
regard to the purchase of arms, ammunition,
and equipments, purchase aud outfit of vessels
diplomatic and financial arrangements, the ne.
gotiaton of rebel loans the purchase and
treachery of army and navy officers, the secret
plans for dividing the people of the North, the
progressive operations Of Government toward
suppressing the rebellion, and every other
imaginable species Of testimony which the
Pirates of the Gulf" would wish kept secret.
To overhaul such mountain of papers as this,
will require some time and much trouble, but
the work, in the hands of an efficient marshal
or superintendent of police, will be promptly,
fearessly, and thoroughly prosecuted.-N. Y.

Correspondence of the Republican.
LEXINGTON, (KY.,) May Is, 1861.

LEXINGTON, (KY,) May 10, 1861.
We have had an election for delegates to
Q Border State Convention, and, if nothing
else has been gained by it, we have at least as.
certained the sentiment Of the people upon the
absorbing question of the day. 1t is over.
whelmingly for the present Union. Every de.
vice, every trick every prejudice, was arrayed
against US, and played upon to reverse this YER.
dict. But twas all Of no avail. Old Kentucky
has refused to have aught to do with traitors.
But the traitors are willy, unscrupulous, and
dangerous set, and even now, after this glorious
emonstration for the Union, they seem to
think Kentucky must of necessity follow the
fortunes Of JEFF. Davis Co.
Now, I am as good Union man as walks
the sod, but would feel little better satisfied
if the Unionists of this State would, as party,
boldly take ground in favor Of sustaining the
Government at Washington. This is certainly
their proper course, and in it lies their duty.
But Ken.uckians have such q ridiculous hor.
ror of being termed AboiitioniSts," that they
stop half way between duty aud this imaginary
monster, and sooner OF later will be forced to
perform our duty, or we shall disgrace ourselves
forever by aiding the traitors, such as our Gov.
ernor IL.
In fact there is some danger Of cirii par in
our o,cn State. Mark my words. Hundreds
and thousands of US will suffer annihilation be.
fore we will march under the banner Of the
"Devil's own" will not disgrace myself, If
other men in the State do. We have some as
vile peIjured traitors amongst US as ever shook
hands with the hangman. Our late Vice Pres
ident Breckenridge is one of them. He is now
making speeches all about the State, playing
the " wandering orator." as he said Of Douglas,
and doing his best to overthrow the very Con-
sttution he has sworn to defend.
am very glad to see that since the election,
the Union papers have taken much bolder
and nobler stand in favor Of the right. The
Commonwealth at Frankfort declares, "We are
for the United States Government, and we want
everybody to know it, Bravo! for that. Prem
tice says to Union men, If traitors call you
Abolitionists, tell them they are liars if they
repeat it, knock them down. Give them the
higher law the Tom Hyer law" saw the
above advice literally complied with yesterday.

itself treason, out and out.
