STILL THEY CoME-The newest thing
under the sun that we know of is Revol-
wing Folding Clothes Frame, invented by
Mr.. o. ". Hogle, of Niagara Co, n. Y,
and to be seen at the Jefferson House,
Jefferson. Of the multitude of instru-
ments in this line which we have seen, in
our opinion no other would be so conven-
lent and useful as this. Forty feet of line is
quite as much as is ordinarily needed for
one ironing, and all this can be folded up
In moment into the space of few inch
es, like an umbrella, and deposited in n
corner. One fourth of the line may be
unfolded at time, until the whole is OPEN
ed, and in that way only room taken for so
much as is required to BE used at any
time, thus rendering it more convenient
than those so constructed that the whole
must be spread at once, though only a
small part is needed at the time. This ar
ticle is now being manufactured at Jefer-
son, and doubtless will meet with ready
sale.

Man FOUND IN Rock RIVER WITH HIS
THROAT CUT.-Last Tuesday morning
German named Paul Peter, aged abont IS
years, and living two or three miles from
Redwood, Dodge Co., was found in Rock
River near the Chicago and Northwestern
Railroad bridge in this city, with his
throat cut, though not so seriously as to
have occasioned his death 1t appears
from the evidence before the CoroRer's Ju-
~ that the deceased was an Incorporate
man and that his domestic affairs were not
of pleasant character. He left home
last Saturday and was next seen here in
town on Sunday with his throat cut as we
have stated. Doct. Eyer dressed the
wound and Peter went away in tolerable
good condition. On Monday he was seen
again in the morning about town, but left
sometime during the day and nothing was
known Of his whereabouts until he was
discovered in the river The verdict of
the Jury was that he came to his death
by accidental drowning,

A SENSIBLE MovE.-The Watertown
Volunteers left here last week for Han
chetville to consolidate with a part of a
company formed there, which very nearly
fills the ranks up to the requisite number
to entitle them to place in some of the

Instead of undertaking to get up so many
companies, it is wiser to consolidate the
fragments of such companies scattered
about the country, thereby fastening their
organization ve.y much and bringing them
into service sooner than they could other
wise get there. Lieut., Pease was in town
the first of the week and tells US that the

UGH.-A driving, pelting, disagreeable,
nasty storm, to which might properly be
applied all the other vile epithets to be
found in Webster's Unabridged, set in
last Tuesday and made the whole town I'M
comfortable. As it is the first one, how
ever, that we have had in some three
months, we do not think we ought to find
any fault.
ga The Banks in this city are not
now selling exchange on New York. In
Milw aukes the rate ranges from one to
give five per cent. and is scarce at'that. It is
thought that in few days financial mat
ters will be easier and exchange again be
plenty and cheap. After the LIST of De-
eember it cannot rulo higher than three
fourths of one per cent, according to the
provisions of the new Banking Law which
shen goes into effect. What happy day
that will be for merchants and others
whose business with the east requires
them to buy exchange!

Taking Possession OF Bca ufort.

On Saturday noon last, in pursuance Of the
orders Of Flag officer Dupont, the gunboats
Seneca, Lieutenant Commanding David
Ammen; Pcmbina, Lieutenant Commanding
john Baukhead, and the Curlew, Lieiiitnsiit
Wholtmoush, proceeded up the Beaufort
river to recunnoirc. and to take possession Of
two light boats, which had been removed
there carly in the Summer. The boats pro
ceedcd rapidly up the stream, cleared tor
action, and ready for any emergency, but the
banks OF the river were found deserted, save
by groups of negroes. who were observed TO
gaze npon the novel sight of Three war vessels,
bearing the Stars and Stripes, on South Caro-
lima waters, with curiosity, if not with lively
fear.
No whites could be seen, and no detcnycs
Of any kind could be descicd, besides u
battery, near Beaufort, where the guns had
been taken out and transferred to Bay Point.
On arriving at Il point about halt a mile dis
taht from Beaufort quite number of persons
We're observed TO leave the village, and hastily
take to the woods. Soon thereafter, on
approaching the village a little nearer, Capt.
Ammeu, OF the Seneca. sent Lieut.. Sprotson
in boat to the shore with flag Of truce, to
communicate to the people and to assure
them Of perfect safety to their persons and
property, and inviting them to return to their
homes On landing, Lieut.. Sprotson was
greatly rcjoiced to see him, and who chccrcd
Justify for the Stars and Stripes.
They informed Lieut.. Sprotson that there
were but two whites left in the village, and
took him to one, who met the Lieutenant at
the door of his store waving flag OF truce,
and exhibiting in his manper every indication
Of deep fear. This man, a Northerncr by
birth. reported that the negroes were perfect
ly wild, and were plnndering stores and
dwellings. wautonly destroying property Of
every kind and carrying off everything of
portable character that they could lay their
hands upon. They had been worked up to
pitch of frenzy by their masters, who had
shot several negroes @ho refused to accom-.
pany them into the woods, and away from tho
village. to prevent them from communicating
wi h the United States forces; and that the
negroes were retaIiating in this manner, and
that the lives OF the remaining whites and
their property were horribly insecure. A
perfect saturna!ia had begun.
Tho ncgree7 reported that the rebel force
which lately occupied the Qualifications on
st. Phillips Island had, with the Beaufort
artillery, retired in Il hasty manner to Port
Royal ferry, aboIt ten miles distant, whera
there was force Of about thousand men.

Oh, fallen hero, noble friend,

Though called, in mid career, to end
Thy shining course OF victory.
l dare not grieve, for friendships sake,
To know Thy soldier knell is rung-
That shame or glory ne er shall wake
The silver trumpet of thy tongue
That dim the eye whose lightning scared
The traitor, through his brazen mail:
That lips, whose smile Of sweetness cheered
Our darkest day, are cold and pale.
No selfish sorrow fits thee now,
And we who loved thee stand aside
While she. our Mother, walls her brow,
And in her grief forgets her pride.
When half the stars of honor fade
That gemmed her banners mofning sly,
She sees them triumph, who betrayed
And he, her truest chiettain, del
When low ambition rules the land,
And patriots play the trader part,
We i'll can spare his open hand,
We i'll can spare his honest heart.
When timd lips proclaim their doubt,

We miss his dauutless battle shout,
That never truce to treason gave.
When Freedom 8 base apostles preach
Dishonor in the sacred name
Of Peace, his grand. indignant speech
