MURDER or UNION MEE.-In relation 10
the late murder of Capt. Sharp and Lieut..
Jaeger, by party Of SecessiOnists in North
Missouri, the st. Louis Republican says:
We announced yesterday the shooting Of
Ben. Sharp from an ambush on the North
Missouri Road. and alsO the wOunding of
Lieut.. Jaegar. Since then We have some
further particulars, which, for the sake Of
humanity we hope may turn out 10 be In.
correct. Lieut. Jaegar had been wounded
in the arm, and Capt. Sharp volunteered 10
take him TO his residence in DanVille, in bis
buggy. On their way thther, they were
met by company on horseback, and Sharp
was shot in the back. inflicting a mortal
wound. The horse, frightened by the dis
charge OF arms, turned round in the road
aud ran to the place from which they had
started. Soon after, the same men reached
the same place, dsmounted and declared
their determination TO hang both The pris
oners. II was in vain that Sharp told them
be was mortally wounded. that be had only
a little while 10 live, and entreated them
not TO subject him to such death. They
were unrelenting, and the devils hung him
and Jaeger both. What fate is in reserve
for these murderers may readily be con-
ceived by those who believe 10 the doc
trine of retribntive justice. Captain Sharp
was strong Union man. in command of q
company of Home Guards, and was for
merly a member of the State Senate. Lieut..
Jaeger belonged TO the cavalry.

A Lesson from IFIstory.

Some of the Southern communities are
making soldiers out OF their negro slaves
This lement of their social system has no,
been largely represented in their milf
tary preparations as vet, but the subject is
being discussed by many of their public
men, aud their journals have been threat
eniDg to meet the "Northern AboliliOnists"
with negro baialiious armed aud drilled on
The plantation. That the negro will be COM
PEELED, IL possible, to make himself useful
in this war, as part of The Southern army
We are convinced. The Secessionisis have
called the Indians from the forest, armed
them with iOmahawk aud rife, and are
sending them N0rlhward, 10 contend with
our armies, aud they will certainly use the
negro. We do not see how anything could
be more dangerous or unwise than TO teach
the blacks the experience OF war. In many
districts Of the Cotton States the DegrOes
far outnumber the whites, and are only
controlled by efficient discipline.
Gibbon, IN his History of the Decline
aud Fall Of the Roman Empire" alludes TO
an instance of u war in which servile eol-
dlcry took part. aud it might be safely
commended 10 the people OF the South. The

Vandal King, defended bis dOminions alone

aud how he was vanquisbed aud slain IN q

says: THE remainder Of the nation EN-.

vader from their confines. But they soon
discovered that they had exchanged for
eign for domestic enemy. more danger
Gus and more implacable. Enraged by their
former servitude. elated by their present
glory, the slaves, under the name Of LiIni-
gantes, claimed aud usurped the possession
of the country which they had saved. Their
masters, unable to Withstand the ungOv-
erned fury Of the populace, preferred the
hardships Of exile 10 the tyranny Of their
servants. Some Of the fugitive Sarmatians
solicited less ignominious dependence un-
der the hostile standard Of the GOths."

TRUE ART IN WAR.-Col Peardy, "Garri-
baldPs Englishman," says Of rife shooting in
battle:
Mind, il ever you go rifle shooting, use your
riAe in a scientific manner. Recollect, always
not TO kin your man, but to wound him; then
il takes two men to carry him off, and those
two men never by any chance come back the

But oh, find thee not as them
Thesod above thy heart is cold; "tt'

Thy voice is mute, thy heart is still,

For fate my trembling steps has led ID
Where serr owls bitter waters swell,
And showers from loves pure foun tain shed
Have changed to tsar-drops as they fell;
And now for many weary year,
Since have strayed away from thee,
Thy low neglected pillow here
Has only seemed like home to me.
And though across my forehead now:
Tines lines and burrows are not drawn,
Though years rest lightly on my brow.
The spring-time Of my heart is gone;-
And l could envy thy sweet rest
Thy calm release from pain and care
Could gladly sleep upon thy breast,
And find blessed solace there!

Douglas Testimony.

A correspondent inquiries, did Mes
srs. Davis and Toombs, who were on
the Committee of Thirteen in the Sen

den's compromise as a settlement? In
reply. we would refer him to tho follow
ing extract from speech made by
Senator Doug las in the United States
Senate on the End of March last, which
speech was duly published in the Con-
gressional globe. Mr.. Douglas said:
4 can confirm the Senator'S declaration,
that Senator Davis, of Mississippi,
himself, when on the Committee Of
Thirteen, was ready at all times to
compromise on the Crittenden PROPOSE
ton. Twill go further, and say that
MIR. Toombs was also.' This emphatic
statement Of Mr.. Douglas, who was a
member Of the committee of Thirteen is
valuable, and it is we'll that it is on
record in the official proceedings of
Congress. It plumply refutes the
charge everywhere made by the Re
publican press that these gentlemen
had determined on breaking up the Un

Having real, genuine lover said
Kate with blush and laugh! ..
well, I'll tell you what, Miss Kate,
said Colonel Forester, let us make a
bargin. You want genuine lover,
and I want a darling little wife. Will
you allow me to supply the de6ciency?'
Kate looked at him, the innocent
dimples coming and going round the
surprised mouth.
May Ibe your lover?' he pursued.
Will you some day be my vifer
Kate reflected demurely for min
ute. Mildred had said she did not
care for Colonel Forrcster-h was
very handsome, and she did like him
that is just little! So she said:
YES in scarcely audible voice.
And Colonel Forester pressed her
fair little hand so tenderly to his lips,
and they had the pleasantest tete-a-tete
in the garden summer-house as ever
engaged lovers revelled in! Somehow
they felt as if they had been good
friends for abouttenyears.
The sunset was shining redly through
the tall old cedars on the lawn, as Mil
dred Ellsworth came slowly up the
rose-embowered path leaning on Mr..
st Evaps arm. She had not enjoyed
her woodland ramble very much--the
afternoon had been sultry, and her cav
alier was decidedly stupid, so she re-
turned with some curiosity to know
whether Colonel Forester had waited
for her.
There he was, sitting on the grass at
little Kate's feet-what could they be
talking about so earnestly!
Good evening, Miss ELLSWORTH said
Forester, rising, as she approached,
I was just about taking leave, but l
am very glad to see you first
Indeed! and why? There was a lit
tie anxious throbbing at Mildred's
heart.
we wanted to ask your consent,
Katie and T. Kate buried her Grim
son face on her sisters shoulder, as
Forester explained the state of things.
Mildred's cheek blenched as she listen
ed.
Ah, Mildred! coquetry is danger
GUS experiment. Many girl, besides
you, has lost lover by its influence.
But she was brave enough to veil her
heart, and answered golly: and with
congratulatory phrases. And when
Colonel Forester was gone, she folded
Kate tenderly to her breast, whisper
ing
4 am very, very glad, dear little sis
ter. He is noble man, and worthy
of your hearts dearest love. May you
be happy
Kate retired to rest that night, with
a heart full of tremulous joy. She
thought it was very pleasant to be a
young lady.
And that IS the way Colonel Forres-
ter won his beautiful young wife, and
the reason Mildred Ellsworth is an old
maid.-(New York Weekly.

THE LITTLE SISTER.

BY LUCY A. RANDALL.-(Hclen Forest Graves
The June roses swung backward and
forward in front of the easement; the
muslin curtains swayed softly in the
summer breeze, and Kate Ellsworth
sitting on low stool, where the shad.
ows of dancing leaves and crimson buds
woye an arebesque around her slender
form, watched her beautiful sisters
toilette with childish interest.
'How pretty you look, Mildred! O.
lwish I were young lady, come out!
you silly little thing said Mildred,
fastening corpon of pearls around her
regal throat, with smile of scarcely
repressed qualification, ARE you not al
most sixteen?'
Yes, but I'm nothing but little
girl; Inever come into the room when
the gentlemen are reading poetry and
talking sentiment to you; and I have
nothing to wear but white muslin dress
es and coral necklaces; and I'm tied
down to that horrible geography and
algebra; and mamma makes me prac-
tice two hours on the piano every day!
0, Mildred, it must be very fine to be
a young lady, with lots of beaux and
tarlatan dresses!'
Mildred laughed as she smoothed
back the jetty tresses from her fair
forehead and tied on facinating gipsey
hat, with fall of lace around the edge
and long blue ribbons.
Where arc you going, Milly? I
thought Colonel Forester was coming
to see you this afternoon!'
SO he iso said Mildred, with toss
of her beautiful head; and that's the
very reason Ichoose to 60 out walking
with Mr.. st. Eval.'
'Why, Milly!' said Kate, opening
her black eyes very wide, when COL
onel Forester is so tall and hand some

Nonsense! said Mildred; Il don't

intend he shall fiEd it out too.'

earnestly, and--and-'
Nonsense, pussy! that is only be-
cause he has nothing else to look at
Fasten my slipper please. There, now,

waiting about long enough ...
And Miss Ellsworth tripped down
stairs, leaving little Kate in a terrible
perplexity between her implicit belief
in what Mildred said, and her pity fol
the handsome Colonel Forester.
The afternoon sunshine crept slwoy
across the emerald velvet of the lawn
it quivered over the oval beds of white
and scarlet verbena, and wooed the
fragrance from the half open mossrost

tie summer-house at the foot of the gar
