Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1861-04-17

Some time since, when jackson county was
in its infancy, and the natives were governed by
laws by them enacted at will, there was charac-
ter among them known as fiddling Joe. This
man Joe was a character not at all known among
the "cane biters" as being devoid of fear, partcu-
larly upon the subject of future punishment, being
the offspring of rough though Christian parents.
The Methodist Church, with its usual care for
those who are unable or unwilling to employ min
sters or purchase bibles for the dissemination of
Christian truths among them, sent missionary
to furnish the inhabitants with the bibles and
preach the gospel for their benefit.
On bright Sabbath morning. in the pleasant
month of May, the minister, in passing from one
appointment to another, came upon the aforesaid
Joe, sitting astride long, playing favorite tune
of "Soap Suds Over the Fence" to his entire
satisfaction and that of .sOld Ring" who wagged
his tail in appreciation of his masters endeavors.
The minister approached and quietly addressed
the fiddler:
my friend, are you not aware that you are do
ing wrong-that you are violating the teachings
of the Bible by playing your fiddle to-dayY''
"Well, dun no" says Joe.
"Then let me inform you, my friend, that you
t>vill be called to account for this violation OF
the ordinance of the Bible at the day of judg-
ment"
Joe (excitedly)-Hold on there, parson, you
have hit on the very thing / want to ask you
about. want to know, is there but one day OF
| judgment?"
mo, my friend, there is to be but one day when
all men are to be judged according to the deed:
done in the body"
Joe (resuming his favorite pastime) We'll, old
hoss, you can pass on / am safe enough if then
'aint but one day Of Judgment, for there's an old
cock-eyed Judge, for the Country Court in thess
parts, who has the brown critters, and will die
Just afore me- and I'm ready to swear his case
will take up that day, sure.
The parson of course, passed on.

sy-It is announced that Gov. Morton. of In
diana, Gov washburn, Of Name, Gov. Curtin, Of
Pennsylvania, and Gov. Dennison, of Ohio, have
each been to Washington and urged The govern
ment to pursue a coercive policy. What bust
ness have these State Executives 70 be interfering
with the business and duties Of the administration
at Washington They were elected for no such
purpose, and though they were Erofuse in offering
the aid Of their respective States TO carry on
war against the South, il Is quite certain that
least portion Of them had no authority 70 offer
such aid. Gov. Morton was extremely anxious
10 be clothed with dictatonal military powers.
but il is notorious that the Legislature refused 10
confer such powers upon him. and in our opinion
never will. The people Of Indiana win never
give INTO the hands Of o. =. Morton the war
making power They are willing 20 obey all the
requirements which he can constitutionally make
upon them to "repel invasion" 70 suppress in
surrecfion. !" or 30 execute the laws" within the
limits of Indiana, but not TO invade ncighboring
States. till they shall have shown disposition 90
interfere with or invade the rights Of the people
of Indiana ..-Nep albany Ledger.

A GUARDIAN WASrED.-Conversing with a
Republican the other evening, we were told by
him that the Republicans were not to blame for
electing Mr.. Lincoln. They are never to blame
when they do anything bad Said he, "the Dem
ocrats are to blame for Lincoln's election, for il
they had not quarreled and divided, Lincoln
would not be President" Isn't this a confession
that the Republican party can not take care OF
itself? That they haven't sense enough to dc
rightf-Huntington Democrat.
That's what a large portion of the Republican
party say in this vicinity.

Qoerp
From the "Poetical Works Of Samuel Woodwork"
The Hunters OF Kentucky.

The Hunters OF kenfuckfs
Ye gentlemen and ladies fair,
Who grace this famous city,
Just listen, II you've time to spare,
While i rehearse ditty;
And for the opportunity
Conceive yourselves quite lucky,
For 'tis not often that You see
A hunter from Kentucky.
OH Kentucky the hunters Of Kentucky,
The hunters Of Kentucky.
We are hardy free-born race,
Each man 20 fear a stranger,
Whate'er the game, we join in chase,
Despising toll and danger;
And If daring foe annoys,
Whate'er his strength and forces,
Wen show him that Kentucky boys
Are alligator horses"
Is'pose you've read it in the prints,
How Packenham attempted
To make Old Hickory Jackson vince,
But soon his scheme repented;
Fer We with rifles ready cooked,
Thought such occasion lucky,
And soon around the General hocked
Tie hunters Of Kentucky
You've heard, s'pOse, how New Orleans
Is famed for wealth and beauty
Its girls are Of all hues, it seems,
From snowy white to socty;
SO Packenham he made his brags,
II he in fight was lucky,
He'd have their girls and cctton bags,
In spite Of old Kentucky.
But jackson, he was wide awake,
And wasn't scared at trifies;
Fer wen he knew what aim we take
With our Kentucky rifles;
He led US down TO Cypress swamp,
The ground was low and mucky;
There stood John Bull, in martial pomp,
And here was old Kentucky.
A bank was raised TO hide our breast,
Net that we thought Of dying,
But hen we always like TO rest,
Unless the game Is flying;
Behind IL stood our little force
None wished il to be greater,
For every man was half a horse,
Ard half an alligator.
They did not let our patience tire,
Before they show'd their faces
We did not choose to waste our IRE,
So snugly kept our places;
But when so near we saw them wink,
We thought il time to stop them;
And 'twould have done you good, think,
To see Kentucky pop them
They found, at last, twas vain to fight,
where lead was all their beoty,
Ana 10 they wisely took to fight,
AMI left us all the beauty
And now, il danger e'er annoys,
Remember what our trade Is,
Just send-for US. Kentucky boys,
And wen protect you, ladies'
OIL Kentucky, the hunters Of Kentucky,
The hunters Of Kentucky.

rHE TRICKS OF rsaTuxE rELLEas

A contemporary exposes some of tbs
traits Of the fortune tdllers who infest the
large cities These aaounte. banks claim
thar they can look into the mysterious fu-
tare and discover coming events, and
tIieif victims are generally the weak and
sapersfitious--pretty servant girls, who
iihngine that their charms are destined
for a higher sphere than the kitchen
W hen snch poor, deiaded giris visit one
Of these professors of secead sight he can
easiiy diseeFa the condition of the simple
tons and at euce holds out she nte of
higher social rank and unboandsd conna-
biai love and Felicity. These professors
are almost aIwzys in league with the
r6alfs Of the town, who employ them 10
procure for them introductions, which al
most always result IN ruin to the unfortu-
nate girls. -.s -... Il
One method of exciting the curiosity
Of fhs misguided females, Is to place a
dlguerrotype Of the future husband in Q
vessel Of water, from which the veil is
drawn for an instant, revealing to The
victims eyes her ioYsr. She Is so be-
wildered with the mystery that she docs
notAietect the cheat, and finally believes
in the illusion. She is delighted, and
accepts the proeGress' stateulent that il
she will walk in particular place at
some defined hour, abe viii meet with her
lover. The ruue is informed that this
poor dupe will be ready, and He meets her.
The sequel will be TO rain her, almost 70
certainty. This Il only one Of the
tricks of these 'detestabie swindlers, but
the most frequently pfacticsd upon silly
girls.
