A Present to Mr.. Lincoln.

as follows: ... -.

The Prosecution of Mr.. Floyd.


As the District Attorney here openly
sympathizes with the secession meve.
ment, the general opinion is that gov
ernment should employ additional cOun.
sci to aid in prosecuting Mr.. Floyd and
his confederates connected with the
great robbery Of the Interior Depart
ment. Legal steps have already been
taken by those parties to avail them.
selves Of every technical exception
When Mr.. Russell was before the Com
mittee, he refused to answer whether he
had made any payments or presents to
persons attached to the War Depart
ment, in connection with his contracts,
or for other purposes. Suspicion points
clearly to several who were largely paid
for their official favors. Mr.. Bailey
protested in all his statements to Mr..
Thompson and others, that he never re-
allied any benefit from the distracted
bonds. Yet his account with Messrs.
Riggs & Co. shows that during the
months when he was operating with Mr..
Russell, his deposites rose to three or
four times the aggregate of his whole
years salary. He had been known in
Wall street as the negotiator Of Florida
bonds for Mr.. Yulee and other seces.
sionists, and of the Chiriqui acceptances
issued by Mr.. Toucey, and which Con-
gress had refused to legalize.
About Sl40, 900 Of the Indian funds
were invested in Florida bonds, but Mr..
Bailey knew their value too well to touch
them. In fact, several patches of South
Carolina bonds were tried on the mar
ket, and withdrawn, because purchasers
could not be found.
The bonds we're extracted at various
times, commencing with Sl50,000. The
design was to extend the time Of disclos-
ure till the 4th of March, but this was
accidentally frustrated by Auditor Full
Ter, who refused to pass an account for
coupons which was not properly
vouched in consequence of the abstrac-
ton, and must have led to an exposure,
had not Mr.. Bailey preferred the con
fession. The refusal precipitated the
discovery. ...-.- .lrr .|rr.t
1t is clearly established that at the
very time Mr.. Floyd was issuing mil
lions of dollars of acceptances for Mes
srs. Russell, Majors and Waddell, they
were actually receiving their pay as fast
as the service was rendered, and the
Government was never in their debt.
Nearly all the witnesses who were best
Informed of these transactions had re-
markably defective memories before the
Committee. They forgot everything
that was embarrassing to answer. But
they are branded so as to be recognized

DANGERS OF SKATING.-Dr. Lewis,
in his Journal, says it is very doubtful
if skating be one Of cur best exercises
1t is not quite free from danger to life
and limb, while such rapid motion
through keen, cutting atmosphere, by
those who live mostly in high furnace
heat, is certainly a very questionable
venture. Every year, since skating be-
came the rage, thousands of lungs have
been seriously compromised by this vi
olent change. Skating is excellent for
hardy people, and for those much accus-
toned to exposure, but it is to be used
with great caution by those who live in
heated parlors.

AUSTIN, Ross Co. o., Feb. 10, 1861.
FRIEND BoARDMAN:-You have in
serted in your interesting paper at diff
ferent times from my pen a short notice
OF f'oo being made one, and lately see
ing some communications from "Uncle
Ben," "Aunt Siss," and friend ar, :"
and thinking they like very much to
see their names in the News, 1 Just
thought, being farmer, would see
how mine would look alongside of theirs.
Friend ar" seems to think consider

road station that the fray took place that
friend "R." speahs of on the evening
of the 28th of January. 1 wonder tkat
the citizens of that community have
not long since relieved that official of
his Office at that place. 1 think with
friend "R." it is wickedness in high
places.
L agree pretty we'll with "Aunt Siss"
upon "woman's rights" 1t does take
considerable time to cultivate the mind
and keep the bed-ticks clean, and those
very offensive ticks away, without say
ing anything about politics. see "Aunt
Siss" is down on nick nacks, such as
preserves and pound-cakO, and 1 believe
five partake of them we should eat
them before We eat the good victuals,
so they will be kept under.
But the main point l set out to com
municate is, that Elder James Quinter
and the society of German Baptists
(called Dunkards) have contracted for
the Academy in New Vienna, Clinton
Co., Ohio, and expect to have it for
literary institution, to commence in the
fall. The house is to be owned by the
German Baptist Church at Fall Creek,
and in connection with it the printing
press now publishing periodical called
the Gospel Visitor" IF they meet
with success it will cast quite a moral
influence over the northwestern part
of Highland county, and perhaps ex-
tend east as far as Lexington. Elder
Quinter is a hard hand on whiskey re-
tailcrs and drinkers. Indeed that large
and respectable body of people will not
permit their members to make or sell
the intoxicating drink.
L will lay down my pen for this time.
and if you think proper to insert this in
the News, l may in the future commu-
nicate something more interesting to
your readers.

Fort Sumter.

Letters from that fort, received from
Captain Doubleday, one of the officers
in command, report that the South
Carolinians have erected an impregnable
battery on Cummings Point, of rail.
road iron, and that terrible fight can
be made from that point. The strength
of that position, as it has now been
made, and standing, as it does, Eve
eighths of mile from Fort Sumter,
will enable the South Carolinians to do
great mischief. The work on Fort
Moultrie has also been pushed forward
rapidly, and its strength is now such
as will Withstand the guns of Fort
Sumter successfully. This. We believe
is the first instance where iron has been
used in Notifications as a means of de.
fence, though both the French and Eng
lish are trying its efficiency in wal
steamers.

OBsERvATIoN.-The habit of obser-
vation is one of the most valuable in
life-its worth can never be too highly
estimated and it is one that can easily
be cultivated. Never do any thing
without observing that all you do is cor
rect. Do not even take a walk without
having your eyes and ears open, and al
ways try and remember what you see
and hear. By this means you will ac-
quire more knowledge than can ever be
learned from books, as you will find the
information in exactly the form you are
capable Of receiving it.

STRAY THOUGHTS.

L have been gazing long from the win
dow out upon the beautiful snow, and
as I've guzcd, been thinking. Las
night, when the white Snow Angel came
down and spread over the. bare, brown
Earth mantle pure and perfect; crown
ed the brave oak with glittering dia
monds, and festooned the lowly shrubs
with flowers of wondrous beauty, die
you listen for the footstep of the good
angel and did not hear it, because il
fell so very softly? Did you press your
face 'gainst the window-pane, and look
wondering into the might, to catch q
glimpse of the kind angel who scattered
the snow fakes? But you did not see
him--you saw only the beautiful ,oork he
had done. And then you thoughts how
like the blessed deeds Of Chariyf
Pure as the spotless snow--unseen,
unheard, her priceless gifts are given
Noiseless as the snow they fall--healing
hearts, left perchance all bare and desc
late.
OH Charity, Charity! beautiful, lovely
as thou art, how few there are, how very
few, who bow devoted at thy shrine
How te0 open their hearts, that thou
may'st enter and dwell there, the cher
ished inmatel--one who would teach
their hands deeds of kindness; their
mouths words of Love, and their hearts
the precious lesson, ''Love ye one an
other!"
But didn't mean to preach a sermon
at all, only I do think we would be SO
much happier five would love the sweet
Angel Charity little better, and lend a
more willing ear to her wise teachings
Did we but take her as our friend, l
think we would not spy out so many
flaws in the characters of our noighbors
-Dagnifying each fault until it seems
a great unseemly sore that consumes all
virtues. Could We but see ourselves
Alright, how truly we should find, that
not all the blemishes we see upon our
fellOw.creatures' regulations are really
there, but because there are notes in
the very eyes zoe look through, we think
they are our neighbors' faults.
All! how very often, when the sun
shine seems dimmed--when winds blow
roughly aud every one seems scOwling
at or jostling against us--we think this
such a dark world and full of such ill.,
natured people, But did we only for a
moment look within, we would fnd that
we ourselves, not others, were indulg-
ing in .frowns and murmurings.
Then let us welcome to our bosoms a
kind Monitory, who will smOothe the
troubled brow, still the raging tempest
of discontent and fault-6nding, teach
ing US how glorious a thing it is to
Glove our neighbors as Ourselves."-
Then every heart win bless us, for our
deeds will be the blessed deeds Of Char
ity. SUSIE SOMEBODY
