That's So.

The Philadel phia Press says:
" No man Stands higher in the
affections of the American people
than President LINCOLN. Amidst
all the detraction and criticism
which have been visited upon his
counsellors and agents, no word
has been uttered against the Pre-
sident himself. He possesses the
confidence OF the American peo-
pie more thoroughly than any
other public man since the days
of ANDREW JACKSON. They feel
that he is an honest man, that he
has the conscience of this fight,
and that he labors with but a sin
gle eve to the glory. the greatness
and the perpetuitv OF this Repub-
lie. And, after all, honesty is the
soul of public service-the source
of the public welfa.e--for, with
purity at the head of the Nation,
the body is healthy and happy"

Our Banner.

Joseph Holt, in letter to the
citizens Of Kentucky, thus speaks
of the Star Spang!ed Banner:
"Let us twine each thread Of
the glorious tissue of our coun-
try's ilag about our heart strings,
and looking upon our homes, and
catching the spirit that breathes
upon us from the battle-f.Ids OF
our fathers, let US resolve that
for veal or woe, we will in life
and in death, now and forever,
stand by the Stars and Stripes.-
They have Aoated over cur era
dies, let it be our prayer and
our struggle that they shall float
over our graves. They have beer
unIurled from the SHOWS OF Cana
da to the plains of New Orleans,
and to the halls Of the Montezu-
mas, and amid the solituGeS Of
every sea; and everywhere, as the
luminous symbol OF resistless and
benelcent power, they have led
the brave aud the free to victory
and to glory. 1t has been my
fortune to look upon this flag in
foreign lands and amid the gloom
OF an oriental despotisul, and
right well do | know, by contrast
how sublime are its inspirations
4 this banner, the emblem tor us
I OF all that is grand in human his
tory, and OF all that is transport
ing in human hope, is to be sacrl-
feed on the affairs of satanic
ambition. and thus disappear for
ever amid the night and tempes
oil revolution. then will | feel
and who shall estimate the desc
lation OF the feeling--that the su.
| has indeed been stricken from tht
sky OF our lives, and that hence
forth we shall be but wanderer
and outcasts, with naught but tn,
bread OF sorrow and penury 10
our lips, and with hands ever out
stretched in feeblenesS and suppl
cation, on which, at any hour,
military tyrant may rivet the iet
ters OF a despairipg bondage. =
May God, in his infinite mercy
save you and ne, and the land "
so much love, from the doom @
such a degradation."

Poisonous Properties OF

The Valley Farmer says OF the
poisonous effect of brine :" 1t

brine in which meat or fish has
been salted, is poisonous to do
nestle animals. Ii left in their
way, they will partake as freely
of it as they will of pure salt,
when ii very often proves fatal.
The Medical Union, a French
publication, gives an account OF
the researches of Nj. Reynal In
regard to the poisonous properties
oi brine. From a series of ex-
periments detai led, he draws the
following conclusions:
Il. That three or four months
after its preparation 1t acquires
poisonous properties.
y. That the average poisonous
dose for a horse is about 4 pints;
for a hog, pint; and for a dog,
to 5 gallons.
"3. That in less doses it pro.
daces vomiting in the dog and
hog.
4. That the employment OF
this substance mixed with the
/ food, continued for certain time,
even in small quantities, may be
fatal.
We know from experience
that brine, if swallowed by hogs
and other animals, will prove ia
tai; yet, we doubt if the subject
is susceptible of The definite results

The Barb arisn OF Slavery.
By REV. JOHN $. c. ABBOTT.

BN REV. JOHN :. C. ABBoIE.
Seldom in the history of the
world, has there been record OF
more unmitlgated barbarism, than
the Southerners have. displayed
during the progress Of this rebe-
lion. Every mail comes laden
with stories of outrages, which
are almost without a parallel IL
Christendom. Merely for the ex-
preston OF an opinion that sla
very is impol.tic, or tina; the Con-
stitutlon OF the u. S. deserves
respect, women are insulted, i'm
prisoned, scourged. Men have
their heads shaven, are besmeared
with tar, nut lated at the whip
ping post, and hung. 1t is SAID
that there a.e more than two
hundred we'll authenticated cases
oil these savage executions at the
South, within the last year. 1t
is the spirit OF slavery which has
thus conve.ted men into demons.
The Southern Coniederacy has
sunk into barbarism which IS a
disgrace to Chri stendom Every
American must be overwhelmed
with shame to think that such
deeds can be perpetrated IN the
y. s. In this, the nineteenth
century. But it is the natural re-
suit oil the barbarISm which sla-
very engenders. Men who pur-
sue their brothers with blood
hounds. who sell maidens at auc-
tlon, WHO fog naked women and
girls as regardless OF their persons

tlce all the inhumanitles oI

Kidnapping.

The Daily indianapolis Jour
nal recently had paragraph in
regard to a case of kidnapping in
that city. The result of Il IS thus
detailed by the Dayton Journal,
2lst instant:
"An outrageous transaction was
Investigated before the Mayor on
Saturday last. The victim was
a colored child about six years
old; and the parties under arrest
were a man named Thomas Hop
kins and a woman named Fanny
Galloway, the latter formerly OF
Xenia and the former Of Dayton.
The speculation is novel, and per
haps a new way to raise the wind.
The mode OF proceeding was in
this wise: Hopkins induced the
woman-Galloway--to accompa-
nv him to Xenia and to present
herself as his wife, for the pur-
pose of procuring a colored child
to raise, telling her that she could
realize 500 by the operation
She consented, and succeeded af-
ter a good deal OF labor in finding
a child of the right age, belong
ing to parents who were willing
to part with it for the purposes
stated.
" They took the child to Lex.
iagton, Kentucky, and offered it
Tor sale; they remained there five
days, out OF money, and not sell
ing, they left the child in pledge
for their board, that amounted tC
$25, and returned to Dayton
After the lapse of several days II
Is said that some one advanced tc
Hopkins money enough to take
him to Lexington again and make
another attempt to sell. Thi:
time he was successful, getting
horse, gold watch and $40 in mo
ney for the child.
"The charges being fully sus
tained, the Mayor bound Hopkins
in the sum of 5000, and Gallo
way in $i00. They failed t.
give the bond, and were sent t
Jail.
Marshal Hannon made the ar
rests in Indianapolis--tlopkinsa a
Camp Morton, and Miss Gallo
way at hotel. Hopkins had en-
listed in Capt. Kline's company
and supposed that it would exemp
him from civil arrest, but THIS i'm
preston was quite erroneous, a
the Marshal had no trouble In OF
tanning him from the military au
thoriiies.
