THE SOUTHERN DELUSION.

"A correspondent OF the Christian In

upon the Southern mind In regard TO the
North, which seems impenetrablr When
We consider, he says, that a whole gene
ration has grown up there, under the
teachings Of Calhoun, and those like him
highly esteemec by them, to believe that
the States have right to secede when
we remember the lies that were circula-
ted previous to the late election, in rela-
ton to the party coming into power, by
their leading politicians, and also by
Northern newspapers prdfessedly not alb

their only alternative, and promising
Northern sympathy and aid and we see
that the impression prevails now almost

most influential Calhoun doctrinc--that
the policy of the Government ha, been
persistently inimical to Southern inter-

that Slavery is right-and that to pro-

COUNTY MASS CONVENTION.

The freemen of the county of Rutland met
in Mass Convention at the Town Hall in Rut-
land on Tuesday, the 18th inst, at 1 o'clock
p. NJ, and were called to order by Hon
Barnes Frisbie
Tie following gentlemen were appointed
officers by nomination
President-Willam Y. Ripley, Esq, Rut-
land.
Vice Presidents-John jackson, Esq, of
Brandon; Hon. Barnes Frisbie of Middletown
Secretary-Henry Clark, Poultney.
On motion the two Calls for a Mass Con-
vention signed by several citizens of the coun-
ty were both read.
Hon. D. E. Nicholson moved the adoption
of the following preamble and resolution
WHEREAS, A gigantic rebellion exists in
the southern portion of the United States
against the constitutional Government of the
country, and whereas such a rebellion, with
out any justifable cause or plausible pretext,
aims to overthrow the system handed down
to us from the Revolutionary Fathers, and to
set up in its place, over a large part of our
common country, new and hostile system;
Therefore, we, the ireemen of the county
of Rutland in Convention assembled, without
surrendering or abandoning our previous po-
lltical principles or opinions, do resolve
That in this turning point in the nations
destiny, it is the imperative duty of every cit
izen, without restriction OF party or creed, to
uphold the permanent authority of the Con-
stition against all oppossers in every rart of
the country.
That we earnestly protest against any sus-
pension Of the vigorous eX ,rciSe Of the pow
er of the government ia restoring the COM
plete and undisputed sway of our Constitu
tional rulers and the laws in every part of
of the land until that end is reached and the
folly and impotence of rebellion in a free
government forever put at rest;
That we commend the spirit which animat-
ed the proceedings of the State Convention
holden at Montpelier on the 26th of June
last, and especially do we here endorse that
resolution which pledges the whole power
and resources Of the Safe to and in putting

Quite a touching incident occurred at the
scene Of the railroad accident. on the Ma
rietta and Cincinnati r. r.. last week
as a portion of the troops were being
transferred to Athens Among the IA
tally wounded was a young man named
Dunlap, from --, who was taken
from the wreck and laid upon the green

comrades His injuries We're mostly in.
ternal, and he could scarcely speak. as
blood choked his utterance. A number
of comrades gathered around him TO as
certain the extent of his injuries. and to
see who he was.
One among them asked his name, and
if he had any word TO send home. With
difficulty he uttered Tell mother not

They were his last and dying words -
His spirit had risen beyond the gates OF
day-into the light of the better land
His comrades who stood around, watch
ing his dying struggle, burst forth into
tears, and an officer who stood among
them, wept like child. 1t was touch
ing scene, aud the nerved hearts of our
brave men were melted to tears, to see
one among them so young, and so brave,
arried premat urely away.

THE GREATEST SEMTSARY.-The fire.
side Is a seminary of infinite importance.
1t j, important because it is universal,
and because the education it bestows. be-
ing woven in with the woof of childhood,
gives form and color to the whole texture
Of life. There are few who can receive
the honor Of college, but all are gradu-
ate~ ~ the hearth. The learning 0. tbs
university may fade from the recollection,
it, classic lore may mouldcr in the halls
Of memory. But the simple lessons Of
home. enamelled upon the heart Of child
hood, defy the rust OF years, and outlive
the more mature. but less vivid pictures
Of after days. So deep, 50 lasting. H.
deed. are the impressions OF early life,
that you Office see a man in the imbecili-
ty Of age holding fresh in his recollection
the events Of childhood. while all the wide
space between that and the present hour
IS blasted and forgotten waste. You
have. perchance, seen an old and half OBJ
liberated portrait. and in the attempt TO
have it cleaned and restored, you have
seen it fade away, while brighter and
more perfect picture painted beneath, s
revealed to view. This portrait, first
drawn upon the canvas, Is no inapt Illus
tration OF youth and though it may be
concealed by some after design, still the
original traits viii shine through the out
ward picture. giving il tone while fresh,
and surviving il in decay. Such is the
freside-the great institution furnished
by Providence for the education OF man.

THE YOUNG WIFE.-The marriage OF
middle age is companionship; the second
marriage of maturity, perhaps the repa-
ration of a mistake, perhaps the palhd
transcript of buried joy but the mar
riage of the loving young is by the direct
blessing of God, and is the realiz ton OF
complete ideal of loving human life.
Let those who have found that pearl hold
it fast and keep it safe. Within the doors
where love dwells, no evil thing should
enter-and the loving bride who would be
the happy wife must specially guard
against her own impatience and despair
when the lover is merging into the hus-
band, the fatterer into the friend.

stituted shortly after the opening of naviga-
ton this season, by the Western Transporta-
ton Company, in the employment OF tugs in
stead Of horses upon a short line of the Erie
canal below Lockport, has been abandoned,
and the company's tag boats sent to ply on
the North River. 1t was found, says the Troy
Wing, that so far as economy in moving them
was concerned, train Of four boats could be
proftaby towed by tug; but that train
OF that number was so unmanageable that
tLe damage occasioned by accidents of col
