Death of a Puritan Mother.

The following notice of the death of the
aged mother Of Chief Justice Field, of this
state, is from the New orll Independent:
Died, at Stoclbrdge, Mass, August Is.
submit wife of Rev. David Dudley Field,
d. D.. aged seventy She was of Puritan
descent the daughter of Captain Noah Dick
inson. Of Somtrs, Ct, who was an officer in
the Freneh war and in that of the Revolu-
tion. She was married in the year 1903, her
husband then Just commencing his theological
studies under the tuition of the famous DIR.
Charles Backus of Somers She soon accom-
panied him to laddam. CT, where he was to
assume his first pastoral charge. From that
time until her death she adorned the charac-
ter of IL wife and mother, and proved herself
help meet for her husband in all the varying
circumstances of his long ministerial life
The description of the yiStuGus woman in the
Book of Proverbs, was applicable to her:
The heart Of her husband doth safely trust
in her She shall do him good and not evil
all the days of her life seldom has hus-
band leaned more constantly upon wife as
his eyer.present aid, counsellor and friend
For nearly sixty years she maintained old
fashioned ministerial hospitality in her house,
and to the last her cheerful grace was the
joy Of c wide circle of friends. By her in
duslry and indomitable perseverance, coupled
with seif-denyiug frugality and self-sac-
rihcing devotion to the welfare of others, the
meagre salary of a country pastar was made
to suffice for the wants of large family,
while her hopefulness and elasticity of spirit
chcered the household amid all trials,
She was the mother of ten children one OF
whom died in infancy. and two in mature life
she lived to see all the remaining seven oc-
cupying positions of great respectability, and
all save one, whose residence is in California,
were present at her funeral. She was greatly
beloved by her children, as suck mother
deserved to be- Unwearied in her self-den-
ais on their behalf she did all she could to
secure them proper training Four of her
sons received IL collegiate education, for which
they were greatly indebted to her exertions
and influence. In their Guccess she rejoiced
and they have been glad to lay the honors
which they have reaped at her feet ae-
knowledgng their Indebtedness to their mo-
ther, and now that she has passed away,
" her children rise up and call her blessed! .

Gov. DowNEY AND GEN. d. d. CoLToN.-
The San Francisco Morning Call makes the
following statement:
lhe War Department. at Washington, ac-
tthg on evidence of his fitness in its archives
forwarded request to the Governor that he
would commission ID. ID. Cotton as Colonel OF
one OF the new cavalry regiments this re-
4uest was made without any request on the
part of Mr.. Cotton or his friends, it being
wen known that Mr.. Cotton has seen service
ana is an experienced officer The Governor
informed Mr.. Cotton of the request, and the
latter after consulting with some personal
friends, concluded to accept the commission,
provided he could have some voice in the
choice of liue officers who were to serve un-
der him-not an absolute Say" but sufficient
TO insure that no one should be appointed in
whom he had no confidence. To this the
Governor acceded. Subsequently the Gov
ernor, without consulting with Mr.. Cotton,
insisted upon appointing as Lieutenant Colo
mel of the regiment gentleman of Los An
geles, wholly qualifed-either by expert
ence. sentiment or ability--for the position,
and one on whom Cotton could not rely. The
result was that Cotton refused to accept the
commission and we have seen dispatches

men had positively refused to serve on account
OF the appointment of the gentleman in ques-

implied agreement, and by insisting upon a
principle of favoritism, Gov. Downey has
certainly retarded the formation of one regi-

ka-A writer in the Philadelphia Press

Bg=A writer in the Philadelphia Press
suggests the formation of two great Unions
on the following basis;
I. Let the present Constitution and laws
be adopted by each Union, subject to subse-
quent alteration.
2. Let the present capital be abandoned,
and none established for either Union with
in two hundred miles.
3. The tariff now in force to continue so
in both four years, unless altered by mutual
consent.
4. Any slave State to be admitted, at any
time, into the Northern Union on its own
vote; proUided, all children born thereafter
shall be free, fixed sum being paid for
damages in case of those born of slave par
ents; and also that slavery itself shall be
abolished in such State within thirty years
from its admission.
He says; the last proposition regards slave
~. when left to itself in peace, as eventu-
ally TO fade away before Christianity; and
such provision would gradually readmit
the border states, one after another, until,
without war or discussion, we should again
be one people, and that people free indeed.

The Free Bank BII1.

The bill before the Senate for amending
the Free Banking law contains excellent
provisions for giving our currency stability
and high character 1t provides for bank
ing on Indiana bonds to the exclusion of the
bonds of other States, thus keeping a large
part of our Indebtedness at home and maxi
ing the notes issued thereon safe beyond all
contingencies. Indiana bonds when pledg-
ed for the security of circulation dollar for
dollar, form basis every bit as safe as IN
der the present law where an excess of 10
per cent. is required. In fact, such a basis
is considered safer than one composed of
miscellaneous stocks that huctuate with
every trihng disturbance The prominent
sections of the bill we briefly state as fol-
lows, and ask the earnest attention of men,
bers Of the Legislature to them:
Section four of the act of 1855, by This
bill, is amended, so as to allow the Banks
organized under this act to issue oRe,sixtA of
their circulation in bills less than S., in
stead of Onc-twentieth
Section sixth IS amended, 50 as to allow
Banks having Indiana stocks to issue 800
of notes for every 500 of Indiana stocks
those having other kinds to issue, only 500
for SIlO of stocks. The report of the COM
nittee on this section is to amend by insert.
stocks, they shall have 500 in notes; and
Banks having other than Indiana bonds,
shall have, until January, 1868, to exchange
such bonds for Indiana bonds-and the Au-
ditor shall, upon the application of any
Bank, exchange bonds other than Indiana
for Indiana bonds.
Section seven is amended so as to allow
Banks hereafter organized to use only Indi-
ana stocks.
The Commltfc" recommended the follow
ing amendment
Amend section three of the act SO as to
provide for the keeping of the plates, dies.
SC, by the Treasurer Of the State.
Section forty-nine Of the act is amended
so as to provide for the burning of the notes
by the Treasurer aud Auditor of State, and
the issuing a certificate showing the amount
and kind of notes. Also, making the Au-
ditor issue certificate to persons surren-
dering the notes Of any Bank, stating the
amount surrendered, how much paid, what
balance is due, and providing that such GER
