OBITUARY-Hon. Jacob Houghton, de-
scended from an old Worcester county family,
and himself native of the county died very
suddenly at his residence in Fredonia, n Y,
on the Both ult., at the advanced age of ghty-
four years. He was born in Bolton on the 18th
of February, 1777, and was the son of Simon
Houghton, who was for several years mem.
Der of the Massachusetts legislature. The an
cestral line of his family extended back to
Normandy, when the original was DeHocton,
signifying Highland In early life he removed
to New York, commenced the practice OF law in
Fredonia, building there in 1872 the house
in which he lived till the day of his death. He
was present at the first court of common pleas
held in the county in 1911, and for three or
four years following was the only supreme
court attorney in the county. He was APP
pointed Judge of the court of common pleas in
1913 by Gov. Tompkins, and subsequently
supreme court commissioner by Govern
or Marcy. Many other important public
trusts were imposed upon him during
his long and active life, which he dis.
charged with conscientious fidelity. He was
remarkable in social life for his genial deport-
ment aud kindly humor, and for throwing
upon old age the unusual freshness and yivac
ity Of youth. He was at the time of his death
and had been for several years; the senior
member of the bar Of Chatauque county.

The REPORTED DEATH IN THE SLATER
GUARDs.-The announcement of the Geath Of
a member of the Slater Guards, Webster,
made on the authority of a member of the fiji.
teenth regiment, it appears was incorrect. The
report grew out of the fact that private in
another company suffered injuries from fall
on the ferry boat out of New YORK, and was
left behind. He soon recovered, however, and
has since rejoined his regiment.

More about Gen. Patterson.

A correspondent Of tho Washington
Star, writing from Harper's Ferry, Ju-
] ~ 25th, tells this story Of Gen. Pattor-
son. We give it for what it is worth:
The time of the two Pennsylvania
regiments was about expiring, and
General Patterson had them assembled,
and begged them to remain ten days
with him He assured them that he
would lead them to fight, and reminded
them that we were in the face Of the en-
cmy. They all agreed to stay, and did
stay. In his remarks to us subse-
Quently he said we were the wet nurse
to the army and authorities at Wash
ington, and that he had no orders
from Washington to retain them over
their time, and if he had, he would
not obey them. He was their futher,
and he had pledged himself to pro-
tcct and return them to their families,
and was responsible to their brothers,
mothers and sisters for their safety
IL was not going to risk anything
ilo said, also, that Johnston had fellod
trees and deg bitches in the road, and
he could not get to Wiuchostor,Ea
he was not going to have a Bethel af-
fair.
Now, sir, let what reports say to the
contrary, there woro but fourteen
thousand troops at Winchester, and wo
could have harrassed thom and destroy.
cd the railroad, and kept Johnston
from Manassas Gap. But Gen. Patter-
son allowed himself TO be humbugged
at Charleston by parties interested max o
ing statements that there were forty
thousand troops under Johnston.-
Never was a greater falsehood uttered,
and he should have known it. 1t is the
universal opinion here that he got
frightened, aud is not sound as a ma
tional man. At Harpcr's Ferry he soon
dismissed the troops who volunteered to
remain, and did. He would not wait
till the Government sent up others. He
found he was superseded, and he told
them they should not stay a moment
longer, but should 80 home to their
friends, adding that he was tired of
playing tho wet nurse to Washington.

hlled stomachs, and going without
breakfast, engaged in the battle in tho
forenoon. 1t is not surprising MEN
could not fight all day long.
We hear that Harrison G. Blake. NJ.
C3 from Medina, had a narrow escape
on the field of battle. Senator Chand
Ter, Senator Wade, Mr.. Blake, Mayor
Eaton, of Detroit, and others, were in
a knot, when a shell burst very near
them, killing two soldiers. Immediate.
ly a Minnie ball came whizzing along,
and grazing the back of Mr.. Blake's
wrist, entered the arm Of Mayor Eaton,
producing a serious wound.

ported that "ompty stOmachs caused the
disaster" to which can he added dis
patch, which says the "groat number Of
members Of Congress and civilians who
were on the battle field, in their fight

Daniel S. Dickinson to The Rebels.

Daniel S. Dickinson to the Rebels.
We invite attention to tho following
extract from the address Of Daniel s..
Dickinson, Of New York, delivered at
Amherst last week. It is addressed to
the rebels of the South:
You desire poacol Then lay down
your arms, and you will have it. It was
peace when you took them up; it will be
peace when you lay them down. It will
be peace when you abandon war and re-
turn to your accustomed pursuits
Honorable, enduring, pacific relations
will be found in complete obedience to
the provisions Of the Constitution, and
not in its violation or destruction. The
Government is sustained by the people,
not for the purpose Of ooercing States
in their domestic policy; not for tho
purpose ofcrusbingmombors Of the Con
lcdoracy because they fail to conform to
Federal standard; not for the purpose
Of dcspoilng their people; and, least Of
all, not for the purpose Of disturbing or
in any degree interfering with the sys-
tenn Of Southern serviludo; but for tho
sole and only purpose of putting down
an unholy armed rebellion which has
de6od the authority of the Government
and seeks its destruction, and in this
their determination is taken with a res
olution, compared with which the edictt
of the Modos and PerBians were yielding
and temporary. When the Government
of our fathers shall bo again recognized
when the Constitution and laws t
which every citizen owes allegiance
shall be observed and Obeyod, then will
the armies of the Constitution and thu
Union disband, by a common impulse
in obedience to a unanimous Wilt

A ChaerfuI Wow

The following cheerful glance at the
future is from the Boston Commercial
Bulletins money article Of last week:
Our point then is, that our people
should soon begin to think Of some
thing else besides war. Not that they
should or could lose interest in it-but
they should not confne their attention
to it, There is something else besides
war ia the American horizon. Much of
it, indeed, is as clear as ever. The
storm has visited US, but is now passing
away The country is selling much
and buying little. Gold is daily arri-
wing at the sea. board for eventual cir
culatiOn, by means Of the Government,
among the people, and for a larger
than usual basis for future credit All
who can make or do anything for war
arc proftably employed, and those who
produce foreign consumption are rapid
ly increasing their means, whether for
payment Of debt or new purchases
Food is consumed, clothes wear out;
and with tho agricultural population
selling to a good market at home and
abroad, people must soon buy. The
recent failures have been few and com.
paratively light, and the crops all over
the North present very favorable ap-
pearance. Are we not justified, then,
in an encouraging viow Of the future?
