GETTING WEDDING CoAT.-Among

GETTING A WEDDING CoAT.-Among
the anecdotes related by DR.. Bushnell in
bis sermon at Litchfeld, illustrative of the
age OF homespun, was this:
One of the aged divines of that county,
still living, was married during the revolu-
ton, but under singular difficulties. There
was an obstacle to the wedding which SEEM
ed insurmOuntable. He had no wedding
coat, nor was wool to be had to make one,
and it was in the dead of winter. Yet all
parties were ready and he was anxious to
be married without delay. At last the
mother of the intended bride discovered the
difficulty and promptly had some of her
sheep shorn and sewed up in blankets
to Keep them warm, while of the
wool she spun and wove coat for her in
tended son-in-law.

NOTWITHSTANDING all the excitement of
primary meetings and the turbulent con-
ventions. aud the daily and nightly con
claves on the corners of the streets of fussy
candidates aud their disinterested adherents,
election day passed off more quietly than
ever before, and there were scarcely enough
persons at the polls at one time to make a
respectable scrimmage, if all of them had
been disposed to enter into that line of ar
gument. No bands of music were out !;
and but few placarded wagons, and scarcely
any OF the candidates on hand were willing
to treat the boys" to anything near the
extent usually practiced on such occasions
and as consequence peace and harmony
prevailed all over the city. So mote it be.

0. D. Emo. The editor, in bis salutatory,
says:
The Times will nominally be Republican,
bat will discountenance all political discus.
soas, until after the close of the war, believing
that the state of our national affairs, requires
that we should lay aside old political issues
and party feuds, and unite in one solid phalanx,
until the arch fiends are subdued and the coun-
try saved. When the Union is saved, peace
restored, the sound of firearms no longer
heard on the battle field, and civil war is
known no more, then will be proper time to
resume our political garments, to take our poo
sition in partizan lines, as modified by the pres
ent disasters, and enthusiastically discuss the
questions pertaining to the welfare OF the
country.

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT
&c No Pent-Up Utica"
Everybody has heard the lines,

Everybody has heard the lines,
mo pent.up Utica contracts our powers,
But the whole boundless continent is ours"
But very few people know the author, or
in what poem they occur. The Portsmouth
New Hampshire) Journal says that they
we're written by one Jonathan Michael
Sewall, Portsmouth poet, as an epilogue
to Addison's play of Cato, on the occasion
of it's performance by an amateur company
in that city in 1888. The whole produce
ton was one of decided power. The spirit
OF the Revolution entered into every express
sion. We give few lines:
And what now CLEANS with dawning rays at
home,
Once blazed in full.orbed majesty at Rome.
Did Rome's brave Senate nobly strive t'oppose
The mighty torrent of domestic foes,
And boldly arm the virtuous few, and dare
The desperate perils of unequal war?
Our Senate, too. the same bold deed has done,
And for Cato armed Washington?
" Rise, then,my cOuntrymen, for fight prepare,
Grid on your swords, and fearless rush to war!
For your grieved country nobly dare to die,
And empty all your veins for liberty;
No pent-up Utica contracts our powers,
But the whole boundless continent is Ours!"
Utica, a city older than any in the vicin-
ty of ancient Carthage, was the place where
Cato died. This fact, with the above ex-
tracts, will sufficiently explain one of the
most expressive quotations in our language
"a quotation which has been frequently
made by the most distinguished orators,
Daniel Webster among them.

LETTER FROM DR.. LIE BoUTILLiER.-The
following letter will throw new light on the
treatment our prisoners have experienced
at Richmond. The letter was addressed to
Col. T. F. Meagher of New York. The
letter speaks for itself. 1t is as follows:
WASHINGTON, Sept. u, 1861.
Cor. MEAGHER-My Dear Sir: l have just
retnrned from Richmond under parole, and
hasten. at the request of Colonel COrcOran, to
drop YOU line. Our wounded, and prisoners
of war. are treated very badly at Richmond.
Colonel Corcoran, especially, and all the Off.

in fact, they are all IN condition to be sent

which you are engaged, and let US resolve In
our hearts to conquer or die"
All the prisoners of the Sxty-nnth at Rich

have been attending to our wounded since the
battle. Yours, very respectfully,
u. w. LIE BOCIELLlER,
Surgeon First Minnesota Regiment.
So much for the boosted kindness and
courtesy shown to the loyal men who have
fallen into rebel hands. They are treated
very badly" says DR.. LIE Boutellier, and
have had to {" suffer all manner of indigni-
ties" Even the wounded, he says, have
received "barbarous treatment" The
rebels cannot understand, it seems, how for
eign born citizens can be loyal to the coun'
try that has extended welcome and home
to them, and they deem halter the fitting
recompense for such loyalty. After this we
hope to hear no more of the kind treatment
of our soldiers who have been taken prison
ers, and particularly that no foreign born
citizen will express or feel any sympathy
with those who entertain snch sentiments
towards them.

THE GATHERINGS oFALUNATIC

The people of Chicago were aotOunded
and filed with indispensable indignation this
morning, at having thrust into their faces
the following insolent, outrageous and IN
manly editorial in the Tribune
The West will demand, not for the pur-
pose Of compelling her sons to their duty but
for securing to the Army OF the East the ser
vices Of cowardly or unpatriotIc New Eng
land, New York and Pennsylvania, that the
work G. drafting be at once begun. But IN
this heavy draft made upon US in the face OF
imminent danger, there Is this consolation :
With cur brave boys in the van OF NJ C.ellan 5

exhibitions as we saw at Great Bethel and
Bull Ran. They will teach your Fl-e
ZJuaves and such ike cattle the art OF war.
But if nothing else, let the East be subjected
- q draft for men to carry our mems lug
gaze aud - serve as cooks in camp.
BY what authority the Tribune assumes to
speak ior the est, in such an InsOIent aud
insulting tone, We are at u loss to know. At
what parJic- lar time the conductors Of that
sheet became the owners OF the West, and
the taskmas;e-s 5f the East, - not clear.
To say that New England, New York and
Pennsylvania are ''cowardly or unpa tElotic,
and that their men should be "~-oJected to
draft for men to carry our mems luggage
and to serve as cooks in camp" is wantOn,
dastardly insult.
Perhaps Doctor Ray would have liked
Governor Sprague to have carried his bag

officers and soldiers were cooking his supper

SOLDIERS FOR THE WAR.

From the chicago DAILY Press
Congress authorized the President 10 call
out 500 900 men. Pennsylvania : contribu-
ton, on pro rata principles, Is - 900. She
has not this day % 600 soldiers mustered in
the Government service. She IS short ftty
thousand Of her due proportion. Pennsyl-
vania has more ofice-holdcrs, contractors and
Spectators feeding at the public crib than
she has men with muskets in their hands,
and yet no State yaunts her patriotism more
loudly. Possibly it Is because 50 many Of
her citizens are gorging themselves with
plumber, that She has 50 few men to spare
for the army She boasts of furnishing a
Secretary of War to manage the contest, and
Major General to command the grand army
of the Potomac. But if she would contrib
ute her quota Of soldiers, it would not be
necessary to strip Fremont Of the Western Ie-
gion which he was preparing for bis march to
New Orleans, nor would her beloved Secre-
tary be in peril of being driven from the
capital, or made a prisoner within sight Of
his own State.
The following table shows the number OF
males in the loyal States, fit to bear arms,
between the ages Of Is and - years, to-
scther with the population of each State,
and the number of men each should send to
the army to make up the half million order
ell into service by act of Congress
