A Noble Youth

The following anecdote was related to a
gentleman during a night he spent in a farm
house in Virginia, some years ago -
g In December, IL, toward the close of
dreary day, a woman with an infant were
discovered half buried in the snow by little
Virginian seven years old. The promising
lad was returning from school, and hearing
the means Of some one in distress, threw
down his saichel of books, and repairing to
the spot whence the sound proceeded, with
a firmness becoming one Of ripper years.
Raking the snow from the benumbed body
Of the mother, and using means to awaken
her TO a sense Of her deplorable condition,
the noble youth succeeded in getting her
upon her feet; the infant nesting on its
mothers breast, turned its eyes toward their
youthful preserver,and smiled, as it seemed,
in gratitude for its preservation. With
countenance filed with hope, the gallant
youth cheered the sufferer on himself,
bearing within his tiny arms the infant child
while the mother leaned for support on the
shoulder of her little conductor. My home
is hard by he would exclaim, as oft her
spirits failed. And thus for three miles did
he cheer onward to a happy haven the
mother and child, both of whom otherwise
must have perished, had it not been for the
humane feelings and perseverance of this
noble youth.
4 warm fire and Kind attention soon re-
lieyed the sufferer, who it appeared, was in
search of her husband, an emigrant from
New-IIampshire, recent purchaser of
farm in the neigborhood Of ----, near
his place. Diligent inquiry for several
days found him, aud in five months after,
the indentieal house in which we are now /
sitting was erected, and received the happy
family. The child grew up 10 manhood
entered The army-lost a limb at New-Or-
leans, but returned to end his days solace
to the declining years of his aged parents.
Where are they now?' askel The mar
raior.
Here'' exclaimed the son. ! am The /

My observations lead me to believe that
in general the birpopotamus will not wan
iouly attack canoe passing on the river.
They either do not seem 10 notice it at all
or else avoid il by diving und, water. They
are troublesome beasts, however, to the
trlvcler padding along in frai canoe, for
they are very apt 70 rise suddenly under .
boat and throw it over, TO their own alarm,
as well as 10 the Inconvenience and danger
OF tie passengers. Ia some instances the
huge beast becomes desperate from fright,
thinks himself attacked, and with great rage
drmolshes the canoe. But even in such
casts have not heard of their ever touch
ing the swimming passengers, who have
only 10 keep away from the canoe to make
sure their escape. The negroes
who aunt the hippopotamous are sometimes
killed. The animal, if only wounded, turns
most savagely upon its assailant."

may all be put into one note and his fliend's
fifty endorsed on the back, but he will not
hear Of this, The notes must be made out
separately, in spite Of the long troubles and
complications Of the double entry, for his
friend wishes his name TO appear also, as
one Of those who "stand by the Union" -
Next is lady who comes from the back
county, and brings letter of introduction
10 Mr. Cisco. She wants TO know ow TO
invest her money 10 aid the country. Then
comes the inevitable Irishman and German
who say exactly what they do not mean,
but whose business the quick clerks despatch
before the inexplict, episodical and curl
ously intertangled story of the deposiIors is
finished. Here is clergyman from the
Sixth avenue, who says ten words about his
business and fifty about his determination
TO sustain the government Then comes
bridget, the mechanic, the apple woman, the
lady, the clerk, the chambermaid, Patrick,
capitalist, the Long Island farmer, the Jer.
seyman, the colored man, the German, the
widow, the clergyman, and people of all
classes ank conditions, over and over again,
and so the loan is paid in.

How Stands the Account

We paid for Louisiana $4,000 000,and
SS,3S5,353 as interest upon that debt. We
paid for Florida $4,000 and 81, ,430, ,ooo
intrest. We paid Sl0o,oo0,000 in the Sem.
mole war to protect the people of Florida
from Indian aggressions. We paid 81 ,00O,,
600 for pensions TO the widows of soldier.
lost in that war We paid the sum Sl0,000,-
600 for the Texas boundary line. We paid
also Sl0,o00,o0o in the way Of indemnity
to Texas, and S7,5o0,o00 to her public
creditors.
We got into war with Mexico in conse.
quence of the acquisition of Texas,and that
war cost US S2l7,175,575 more. We paid
Si0o,00o,o00 for pensions in consequence
of that war. We also paid $100,00o,00O
more to exlinguish the Indian title through.
ont the country annexed from Mexico
In short without enumerating all the items
the people Of the United States for the
purpose Of extending their boundary, the
area of freedom, the enjoment of their
institutions. and to carry out the great pur-
pose Of their social, political aud CONNER
cial wants, have paid for the very States
now leading this rebellion over SIR hundred
ond sereHteea millions Of dollars! ($GI7j
o00,00o)
Here is text upon which very lengthy
and very excellent sermon may be preach
ed, but we shall content ourselvs at the
present time with making only few re-
marks. In the first place the pretence on
the part of the South that they can secede
from the Union with "perfect impunity and
great boldness " is most perposterous.---
Upon the theory which they adopt, zee haze
really no Government, but we are simply a
voluntary association of States, which asso-
citation may be ruptured and broken when
ever the interest or caprice Of any one State
or more may will it.
Was this the theory of the fathers of
the government? and is this the view
which our great men have taken, when new
acquisitions Of territory have been made at
and enormous cost?
If this be 50, instead Of lauding the mem
ory of the wise men (or those so reputed,) J
who have gone before us, we should exc
crate it, for giving US instead of a vital, per-
manent government, merely rafting,
ephemeral, useless skeleton. Nothing more
-lHaechester Union.

Andy JohnSon'S Opinion.

The gallant Senator Of Tennessee, in lis
speech at Cincinnati, Saturday evening
said -
I'VE have heard much said about the
rights Of this section and Of that section,
about the right Of this sort Of property, aud
to that sort of property, hut tell you that
the true cause of this strif. lays deeper
than any such current. Ever since men
began 10 be organized into civilized COM
munities, there have been those who con-
tended that all power originated in usurpa-
lion, and that the few were born TO rule the
many. This is the principle that underlies
the contest now going on. (Cries of'Thats
so.) And if this rebellion should succeed
in destroying the government, as pray
God it may not, then there would be estab-
l>hed upon its ruins either an aristocracy
or a monarchy. The question submitted TO
you is not Shall we stop at Manassas " but
the issue is, you must either conquer them
or they viii conquer you. If they take
Washington, do you think they will stop !?
No. They will take Baltimore and if they
take Baltimore, they will want Philadel-
Phia and having Philadelphia, they will
march to New York, until, as their secreta-
ry Of war said in Montgomery, they will
dictate the terms of their compromise with
in the walls Of Faneuil Hall. / speak plain
ly; il is their intention to give you mill
ta:y dictatorship. The same bayonets which
destroy this government will dictate the
next. Instead of constitution, they viii
give you swords and bayonets. We need
not mince or hesitate in this matter We
speak in common parlance, you must either
whip them or they viii whip you. They
are, many Of them, nsoent, proud bragg
garts like spoiled children and badly spoil
ed at that. You must whip it out of them,
or they will whip you. cloud applause.)
Much has been said about compromises.
What compromises with rebels with arms
in their hands? Compromise with traitors
who would subvert your constitution Do
you want any better compromise than the
constitution made by Washington aud the
patriots of the revolution--a constitution
beneath which they lived, and which they
sealed with their blood If they don't
want to change the government, why sub
vert it? If they do not wish to form
another, why destroy this ! ask this sim
pie question. If We cannot live on terms
of peace and friendship under a constitu-
tion, can we so hope to live under a mere
treaty? If the day should ever ccme, and
pray God that it never may, when you
shall make any other compromise than that
Of unqualified submisson to the constitution
and laws What then Do treaties change
geographical, commercial or social rela-
tions? Your treaty of peace would be one
of continual war. You cannot have peace
without the constitution. You must meet
the question fairly now. You must fight it
out" {Cries of That's the talk Renewed
cheers.)
