who is the Assassin ?

The Black Republican journals and their
sympathisers, are professedly grooming over
the death OF Col. Ellsworth by the hand Of an
assassin. What are the facts in the case and
who is deserving of the character of an assas-
sin? Col Ellsworth at the head of an armed
band, invades the soil Of Virginia, at the dead
hour Of night he breaks open the residence
of one of her private citizens, forces his way
through the house. seizes upon portion of his
property, and is bearing it off, when the pro-
prietor, Nj. jackson, aroused from his sleep.
sees his house in possession of robbers, ard
finds his property in the hands Of the leader,
whom he fires upon and kills-some of the
band accompanying this leader, instantly
shoot down Mr. Jackson and stab him through
With their bayonets. These are the plain
'ftts--and yet this good citizen, whose house
is invaded At the midnight hour, and whose
property is being borne off by the marauders,
! is called an assassin because he shoots the
perpetrator Of this outrage, while the leader
the wretches who deliberately murdered Mr..
Jackson, in his own house, are held upas wor-
thy Of admiration. This is Black Republican
morality-and this is what the people Of the
South have to expect from Black Republican
rule. The blood Of the murdered jackson
will cry aloud for vengeance against the in
stigator5 of this unhaowed war.

GAZING FOR HER."-Col. Dick Nash told a
rich story about taxing for her." in his
earliest days. He was deeply smitten with
the daughter of wealthy old skinfint
residing in Alabama.
The Colonel, self-confdent of success, ar
rayed himself in his best suit, and proceeded
to call on the 'pa-ri-ent' for the purpose of
obtaining his consent to the bargain. Mat
tiers had all along gone smoothly. Col. Nash
had every reason to hope for success. FL
nally, convenient season approached for
him to see the old un. Addressing that in
dividuai, he said
esquire, my business with you to-day is,
to ask for your daughters hand"
alt is, is it What you marry my gal |!
Look here, young man, leave my premises
instanter; and if you ever set foot here
again, I'll make myniggers skin you. Marry
my daughter, indeed You"
The Colonel had left. He saw that the old
gentleman was angry. After getting off to
a safe place, he would turn and take a last
fond look at the home of his lost IDOL when
he cspiod her hand shoveling up his tracks
from the yard and throwing them over tho
fence. Col. Nash imagined he was an un-
welcome visitor at that house.

Or STYLE.-In his recent lecture on books,
Thos. Starr King said:
To many persons, two novels by different
authors read as much alike as two multipli-
cation tables. Yet no two styles are alike.
They differ, and must differ, because souls
and men and passions differ. Style is to
the matter asatmosphereis as to Landscape
Hang a New Hampshire air over Florence,
and is it Florence still? Strip the style of
De Quincy of his matter, and it is like
taking the sound out of grove Of pines.
No one has yet sounded this mystery of a
style how it is that an item penned by one
man is commonplace, and the same fact
stated by another is rifle-shot or a revel-
alton; how words locked up in form can
contrive to tip a wink how phrase may be
full of infinite suggestion; how page may
be as gorgeous as a tropical landscape, or as
cool as December day in New England.
The style is the man.

"Ha, ha," said the landlord, between a
cough and laugh, suddenly remembering
that his business called him out for mo-
ment.
