II is worse than folly 10 talk of coerc-
ing the southern States into submission
to the Federal government. 1t will be
impossible to accomplish such result.
and, oven if il were not, such policy
would be the most disastrous in every re-
spect that could be pursued. No ono
can grleve mare heartily than we at the
impending dissolution Of the Union---no
one could rejoice more heartily than we
at the lifting of the pail which now en-
shrouds the land; but, better by far
separation IN sorrow THAI in anger--bot-
ter by far separation in peace than in
war--better anything than interuecine
strife.
The South has been driven to its pres
ent position by long continued series Of
most exasperated insults and most grioy-
Gus injuries. 1t would really seem as if
the republican party has been endeavor-
ing to ascertain if there are bounds TO
human endurance. If such has been its
aim, it has certainly discovered that there
arc such bounds. We do moi, by any
means, endorse to It's full extent the po-
sition which the seeding States have felt
themselves compelled to take; we think
that they might have at least one moro
effort within tie Union TO obtain the
recognition of their rights; but we must
say that, if ever men had cause for any
actor, the people Of those States have
cause for their action. Contumely has
been hcaped upon them without stint
their property has been stolen-the laws
for their benefit have been nulified-tho
privilege Of settling in the common Terri
tories has been practically denied them
their slaves have been instigated TO in
surreetion, and bands Of desperadoes have
invaded their limits with fire and sword.
They would be less than men if they did
not meet these outrages with resentment;
they would be more than men if they did
not carry this resentment to degree com
mensurate with the causes which provok-
ed it.
The people of the South are animated
by the same spirit which fired the hearts
of the patriots of the Revolution. They
have borne with persecution until forbear-
ance has ceased TO be q virtue; all hope
of the acknowledgement of their rights
has been lost; aud they now stand at
bay determined to submit no longer
Resistance to tyranny is their sentiment,
resistance to the death. And this feel
ing is unanimous. 1t prcvades every
class of society, and finds Judgement in
the bosom of the tender woman as well
as in that of the rugged nan.
Such people, smarting under such
wrongs, cannot be coerced with success.
War may bo carried into their midst;
their homes may be desolated, and their
blood caused TO flow like water; they DO
annhiIated, even; but subjugated they
can never be. Det. Free Press.

ES" A Frenchman, resolved to be rid
of life, went little before high tide to
post set up by the sea side. He had pro-
vidcd himself with ladder, a rope, a
pistol, bundle of matches, and poison.
Ascending the ladder, he tied one end of
the rope TO the post, and the other end
round his neck; then he took the poison,
set his clothes on fire, put the muzzle Of
the pistol to his head, and kicked away
the ladder. In kicking down the ladder
he sloped the pistol so that the ball miss,
ed his head and cut through the rope by
which he was suspended; hs fell into the
sea, thus exiinguishing the flames OF his
clothes, the sea water which he involun-
tarily swallowed counteracted the poison,
and thus in spite of his precaution, he re-
manned unhanged, uushot, imprisoned,
unburncd and undrownod.

Tom did get out couple OF oars: but
the moment he got them balanced in the
row-locks ne commenced pulling for dear
life, and to the utter CONSERVATION of the
lieutenant, the began rapidly 10 shoot up
the river. All the sentries on deck were
Immediately called upon the poop, and
their muskets were fired at the deserter,
but although two balls whistlcd near the
boat, yet none of them did any harm;
and on the next moment Tom heard the
third cutter called away, but he knew the
men were all sound asleep in their ham
mocks, and so he felt secure. 1t was ten
minutes before the third cutter cast off
from the ship, and long ere they reached
Tom, he had gained the shore, and was
running at remarkable speed towards
the city, which he reached in safety, and
before two o'clock he reached bis own
brig.
The next morning the Sarah dropped
down with the ebb tide, and as she pass
ed the frigate, Tom saw the second cut
ter swinging in her usual place, as he
gazed upon the proud flag that hoatcd
at the Englishman's peak, he murmured
TO himself:
"lf | live III some day take the pride
from those proud tyrants."
How literally was that saying fulfilled.
Tom Macdonough had been Decatur's ia
vorte midshipman at the seigc of Tripo-
Ii, and wherever Decatur led, he dared TO
follow. Subsequent to that brilliant chap
ter in the page of of our history, occur
red the event which is embodied in our
sketch; but five years afterwards, on the
11th of September 1914, Thomas Mac
donough met one Of England's proud
fleets on Lake Champlain. Al the first
broad side the English Commodore,
Downie, fell, and at the end of fight
which lasted two hours and forty minutes
without intermission, Commodore Thorn
as Macdonough was the conqueror of
Champlain. He had gained proud
victory; he had indeed humbled the pride
of the tyrant; and that days achieve
ment forms one of the brightest pages in
the history of America.
= Commodore Thomas Macdonough-
the hero of Tripoli-the conqueror of
Champlain; he was noble, true hearted
man, and terror to all enemies of his
country. Peace to his ashes and ever
lasting honor TO his memory.

WINTER WINDS.
BY NErTIE L. cRANDALL.

Fiercely blow the winter winds,
With a cheerless, dismal sound,
And to his boisterous music dance
Snow-Aakes DER the frozen ground,
And all is dark and drear.
Dark clouds are o'cr my heaven spread,
Fresh storms are bursting on my head,
But one ray of light and Joy is shed
My lonely path to cheer.
1t is the thought through all these scenes,
However cheerless, strange,or new,
For me ono smile of kindness beams,
One faithful heart is true
One souls deep love is mine.
Shining with pure, unwavering light
Through sunny day or stormy night,
Filling my soul with strange delight,
And thought of God divine.
1 thank thee, Father Of high Heaven,
That sorrow has been mine,
Else these thoughts had not been given,
In vain this humble light would shine
On life's uneven way.
For all alone are sorrows showers,
With one ray to light the darkened hours
To glad my heart, fill it with flowers,
And teach me how to pray.
I've sought the love and praise of all
In other days-and with regret
Sighed for power to chain all hearts
That none one moment could forget,
Whatever sky above me;
But now, while journeying here below,
Though Gerce the winds may blow,
L only wish, in joy or woe,
One faithful heart to love me.

A STERN CHAsE.-A few nights ago,
on The Galena and Chicago Air Line
Road, near Dixon, the engineer of four
teen freight cars, when descending long
and deep grade, discovered that the cars
had been uncoup!ed and were left behind,
and that he was going ahead alone with
his locomotive and tender. He soon saw
the train coming down tho grade after
him with tremendous speed. He put
speed to his horse to keep out Of the way
but they soon overlook him, and such
was the force of the collision that five Of
the freight cars were cut in two before
they were brought to q stand.-Er.

TOM MACDONOUGH,
THE PRESS GANGS VICTIM.
A SEA SKETCH.


Some time during the month of June,
1909, the American Brig Sarah, of and
from Norfolk, Va, entered the port OF
Liverpool with full cargo. She was
commanded by Captain William Brown,
and his first mate was Tom Macdonough
a true hearted Yankee who hailed from
somewhere in the little State Of Della
ware.
After the brig had been duly entered
at the Custom House she was soon clear
ed of her cargo, and within one week az
ter her arrival, she was loaded for home.
One pleasant evening, the one preced-
ing the day on which the brig was to
sail, Tom Macdonough took stroll up
town. He had been up rs far rs the
Exchange, and was returning by way Of
the docks, when he was aceosted by a
man who appeared TO be n citizen.
"Good evening, stranger"
"The same to you replied Tom, nev-
er once mistrusting that there was harm
in the way.
Do you belong TO any of the vessels
now in the river?" asked the other rs he
cast somewhat scrutinizing glance over
the somewhat rough habiliments of the
American sailor.
"Yes; l belong to the American brig
Sarah"
"No-no; that won't do"
"What won't do?" asked Tom not q
little amazed at the remark.
90, know you," returned the stran-
ger. "You are q deserter from the fri
gate"
AS he spoke he placed small whistle
10 his mouth, and in moment after its
shril note had cut the air, six marines
came rushing out from tap room close
at hand, and at a motion from the stran-
ger, they seized hold of Tom and made
him prisoner. In vain was it that Tom
protested that he was second in command
of the Sarah, and in vain that he threat
ened vengeance. But against the power
Of six stout fellows he could make no eff.
fectual resistance, and so he was taken
along - the naval landing, where five
other prisoners-all victims of the pres.
gang-were awaiting their embarkation
A boat was in waiting, in command Of &
lieutenant, and into il went Tom with The
rest of the unfortunate seamen, and il
less than half an hour he found himsel
on board an English frigate, which lay a
the mouth of the river.
"A fine set of men," said the Englisl
captain as he ran his eyes admiringl,
over the stalwart forms of the impresse'
seamen. "They will just fill up the lis
of main-top-men."
Are you the commander of this fri
gate?" asked Tom, addressing the MAJ
who had just spoken.
Captain Downie, at your service" re
piled the commander, with mock gravity
"Then, sir, of you demand my i'm
mediate release; am second in com
mand of an American brig, now read
for sea, and no power in England can le
gally detain me-"
"That won't go down, youngster," re
turned the captain, with sneer; "yo
are little too young for such an Office
The King needs men, and you must tax
your chances with the rest"
"Do you mean to say that | am I
be detained on board your shipp
Certainly"
"Then, sir" replied Tom, while HI
eyes flashed fire; "you will do it at YOU
peril. Already have your people run u

QUICKSILVER IN NAPA-The Napa Report
er OF February 10th remarks in this connection:
William Mcdonald brought down fifty
pounds of quicksilver FROM the Dead Broke
claim, on Monday last. 1t was retorted at
great loss in an cid kettle, merely for expert
meut. Several companies are running tunnels
in and about Pine Mountain, with every pros
pect of success. We have little doubt that
within FIVE years the value of quicksilver ex
ported from this county will exceed that of the
grain crop. The whole region about Pine
Mountain is full of cnnabar, and it will soon
be brought TO light in immense quantities
Between two and three hundred men are now
at work in the different claims. Several COM
plnies have had for months a sufficient amount
OF cianahar in sight to yield few hundred
pounds Of quicksilver bat have held back from
retorting, until large supply should be struck.
The first quicksilver from Pine Mountain was
brought down last Winter by A. j. Bailey
1t was found in the metallic state. in dark po-
rous rock Thenext--only two or three ounces
we retorted on Pine Mountain in June las.
from cinnabar taken from the claim of the
Napa Company. Small quantities have since
been brought TO town from various claims, bui
Mcdonald has the honor of bringing in tht
first in sufficient quantity to be worth market
ing.
