Be fascinated.

A case of small pox occurring in our own
establishment, reminds US to say that men
are to blame, who through neglect of timely
vaccination, permit themselves to be exposed
to an attack of this most tedious aud loath-
some disease. In q city like this, no one can
insure himself against contact with infected
persons; and although vaccination is not, in
every case perfect safety, it is near enough
to it to rendsr it a matter of obligation TO
ones selfas well as : Q others, to take advant-
age of the degree Of detection which it
affords. To say nothing o. the danger to
life, the consideration Of a month or two OF
confinement and suffering under so fN,1y a
complaint would seem to be enough to in
duce all who have not done it already to
suffer the slight inconvenience of the
vaccine disease, rather than to incur the
penalties which may attach to neglect.

PERSECUTION OF JOHN MINOR BoTTs.-The
friends of this gentleman throughout the
State of Pennsylvania, and they are numer-
Gus, will be panied to learn that his health is
giving way under the heavy persecution he
Is compelled to bear for his sentiments, and
that while he is quietly pursuing his agri-
cultural labors on his farm near Richmond,
Virginia, he is constantly beset by his enc
mics, who demonstrate their hatred of him
BY the mos brutal acts and conduct. Mr..
Bolts rarely visits Richmond-indeed he
seldom leaves his plantation, unless it is on
some errand of mercy, to succor or defend
the Union man who has fallen under the ban
of traitor.
When he does make his appearance in
Richmond, he is followed through the
| streets by a drunken mob-iDsulted at his
hotel, and even interrupted at the table, by
those who hate him because he loves aud
proclaims the universally of freedom.
| From several sources we learn that Rich
mond has become aperfect bedlam-and not
only Mr.. Bolts, but all who are even sus-
pected of entertaining Union sentiments
are 1udely and brutally treated. Men born
in Virginia, who have been living else where
and returning to the land of their birth, are
arrested, examined, and if not able to dis
prove the charges tIumped up against them
are imprisoned and fined, or subjected tc
the will, fury, and caprice of drunken mob
and magistrates. Harrisburg (Penna } Iete

The New York Hefalu on BrltiSu Neu-
trRlity.
The New York Herald, in order to show
how unfair the British Government is in
Assuming a neutral position in respect to the
contest now going on here, copies the letter
of Hon. John Forsyth during the Canadian
troubles, Secretary of State, to Hon. Wm.
L. Marcy, Governor Of New York, and the
proclamation Of the latter to the people of
the State, in which they are e%Djoined not to
permit themselves to be led into an ~"infrac-
ton of those principles of neutrality which
it is the duty of the Government to maintain
in relation to the dissentions, aohether external
or domestic, of foreign States"
The Herald might have gone further and
found more Ofthe kind of authority which it
seems to value so highly. off" said Mr..
Van Buren,, in his Message TO Congress, De-
cember, 1888, ian ipsurrection existed in
Canada, the dmiedbL disposition of the United
States toward Great Britain would lead them
to maintain a strict neutrality, and to restrain
their citizens from all violations of the laws
which have been passed for its enforcement"
The United States valued itself upon its
neutrality, and placed upon the ground Of
"the amicable disposition Of the United
States toward Great Britain and yet when
Great Britain assumes the neutral position,
the Herald and kindred prints iud in the act
evidence any thing but an amicable DISPOSE
ton, and propose to go to war with Great
Britain in order to improve her temper and
render her more kind and conciliatory.

The nefepder of The Consultation.


We ought to feel very much indebted to
Mr.. Jefferson Davis for informing US how
unfortunately we are situated. The breaches
of the Constitution of the United States
committed by Mr.. Lincoln appear to be to
him a source of deep and acute affection.
We-as he remarked in a speech delivered
at Richmond, the other day-"haVe allowed
an ignorant usurper to trample upon all the
privileges of citizenship, and to exercise
power never delegated TO him." In fact he
takes the misfortunes of our case so sorely to
heart, that it is difficult to suppose that he
has any sympathy left for his own.
1t is certainly a very curious fact, and one
that can not be too often pondered upon,
that the party most in trouble about our
Constitution, the danger to which it is ex-
posed, and the disregard of its provisions by
the Administration, is composed of Mr..
Jefferson Davis aud his friends, confederates
and associates North and South. He and
they feel uncommon bad about it, and evil
IDENTIFY are not a little disturbed because we
do not feel as bad as they do.
They would, perhaps, prefer the Buchanan
idea of the powers of the Government thai
when the country is in danger from insur'
~rection, and the entire framework Of politi'
cal society is threatened with destruction
our only resource is to say our prayers. /
they could have kept the North in a prayinI
mood while they raised their armies and die
their work, it would have suited them ex
actly, and they would have taken no troubl
to appoint days Of fasting and prayer OIL
their " account.

HORRIBLE AFFA1R-A Father Killed By His
Son-A horrible tragedy, resulting in the
death of an old man named John Stevenson,
at the hands of his son Joseph, took place on
Sunday night, at No. 30 Newark-street, Ho-
boken, NJ ]. The affair, as related by the
family, is as follows: They allege that on
Sunday evening Mr.. Stevenson came home,
very much under the Influence of liquor, and
commenced beating his wife in a most brutal
and cruel n The youngest son,
Joseph, about twenty four years Of age, in
terfered to protect his mother, when the old
man turned upon and made a savage attack
upon him. Joseph alleges that he then drew
a revolver and pointed it at his father with q
view of frightening him, and that while il
was so pointed, the piece was a%ccidently dis.
charged. The ball entered the left breast
some two or three inches below the heart
and passing upward, came out OF the right
side. The old man Immediately fell to the
floor, when a physician was summoned, but
the wound was fatal, and death ensued in
few hours afterward.
