For the TELEGRAPH.

MEssRs. EDITORS will you permit me,
through the columns Of your paper, to reply
briefly to a sanderous and lbeous communica
ton which lately appeared in the Kenosha
Democrat, over the signature Of John Lacy
Said communication is a comment upon an anon
ymous letter which Mr. Lacy claims to have
received, in which he is threatened with tar and
feathers, rotten eggs, &c. In his comments up
on the letter referred to, he charges my humble
self with being partner in its authorship.
had nothing 10 do with writing said letter, and
am surprised that Mr., Lacy should make so
lying and slanderOus charge, unsupported by
the least particle of evidence. The charge is
vile, unmitigated SANDER, and as base lie as
was ever cOncocted by that parsonage, who is
said to be the father Of lies If MIR. Lacy had
the least particle Of consistency,he never would
have published that letter. since he has been
often heard to say tina. those who have been
hung and tarred aud feathered, for daring to be.
leve that slavery is wrong, were served Just
right, and he WAS also heard to say when
Sumner was assaulted in the Senate chamber
by that mobocrat Brooks, that he was served
| Just right.
Mr.. Lacy speaks Of certain constitutional
rights which he intends to exercise, but have
vet to learn that the constitution intended to
| give an y person the right to express sympathy
with those who are plotting its destruction
Mr. Lacy speaks of Vigilance Committee, g"
but this is all {" CANNON" There is not and
never has been vigilance committee, as every
sensible person in this town knows, and Mr. LII
cy may be assured that no eggs are laid aside to
spoil, no fowl will be deprived Of its covering,
and no extract of the pine tree will be used for
the particular benefit Of one who, by his course
since our present national difficulties have com
menced has made himself as powerless for good
or evil, as far as influence is concerned, as an
infant Of halta day.
Messrs. Editors, some OF the above NAV seem
rather harsh, but am personally responsible
fer all that have said

FIuit.-The prospect for fruit was never
better in this section than at present Should
we escape the late spring frosts whica some
times visit us, we shall, next fall, have apples
pears plums, cherries and grapes in abundance,
and a few peaches. We would recommend those
having orchards to make fires near their trees
when it threatens to freeze 1t is well known
that buds will not be injured by frost, when en-
veloped in smoke, although there should be no
perceptible heat All who can, should raise as
much fruit as possible, for it is just what will
be wanted to send to those ofour friends, who by
fall will perhaps be swetering under South

A Flag FUIied Down and Destroyed,
We regret to learn that the Star Spangled Ban
ner that floating from the Liberty pole, about
80 feet high, at Wilmot in this county, torn
down by some Cloths or Vandas, on Tuesday
night last. The flag was taken down and torn in
to shreds and the hayards and lines cut, showing
that the perpetrators Of the outrage were bound
to prevent, if possible another flag being raised
in its place This is probably the work of some
sympathizer with southern traitors, though we
would not have believed that we had ono such man
in Kenosha County.

Change Of Time.-Our friends going to
Chicago or Milwaukee will notice that the time
for the arrival and departure of trains on the
Milwaukee, Chicago Road has been changed
slightly. The cars arrive from Chicago at 1906
both forenoon and afternoon. From Milwaukee
at ll.47 in the forenoon and 500 in the after
noon. The present arrangement is very con
venicnt for our people. We can go to either
Milwaukee or Chicago, have few hours for
business, and return the same day. This is a
model road for prompt regular, and careful man
agement

Our Army Ccrrespondenoe,-We pub
fish this week an interesting letter from a mem
Der Of Park City Grays, now in Camp at Mil
waukee. We have made arrangements by which
we shall give our readers each week letter
from our Kenosha boys in the army, which we
think must prove of much interest to our read
ers. After the regiment leaves Milwaukee
and goes into active service at a distance, these
letters will, of course, increase in interest, and
will be read with avidity by those who have
friends Or relatives in the Regiment.

Special to the Herald Reports are to the
effect that great dissatisfaction exists among
the troops as Harper's Ferry,on account of the
existence at several factions. One favors the
annexation OF Virginia to the Confederate
States, one the unconditional separate indepen-
dencc OF Firgi MIA, and third the uncondition-
al Union soldiers.
Both of the last two classes refuse to take the
oath of allegiance 10 the Confederate States.
The people Of Sharpsburgh Bridge, thirteen
miles southeast Of Harpcr's Ferry, swear that
no moro soldiers for the Confederate army shall
pass through that town.

thus discusses the matter: Men or women,

and intellectual causes, and neither man
nor woman has any right TO be ugly, and
that If either be so, il is his or her fault.

they cannot expect the love Of their fellow
creatures. No man can love an ugly wo-
man no woman can love an ugly man; and
if fathers and mothers can love an ugly
child, il is very sore struggle, and may be
duty after all and not love. Take the case
OF TheodOsia Perkins-fresh, fair, twenty
three and passably rich. She has face
and form that a sculptor might love to i'm,
itaie but she is pert-she hirts--she has a
bad opinion Of her own sex and Of the 9th

the mind-she has no taste for color, for
tune, for propriety ; she is " fast'-she is
Ioudn-she is eaten up with vanity and
conceit, and thinks herself the very cream
aud quintessence Of the world she is ugly,
in spite Of her face and form. To look al
her is sufficient to know that she will find
no one to marry her except for her money
and TO prophesy that after she is married
her husband will detest her. II comes Z
this-that whatever physical nature ma,

done for Us, the power Of being beautiful
