The following tale, is, with trihing

time that Lynn, the hero Of the tale,
and the tAvorite OF the family, was
intending to leave his home and seek

story that the author shows himself

She had been almost heart-hr"kcn
with the thought that her darling
Lynn was to leave them the mex,
day, and all the family were in great
detection, when Il sudden food OF

detention OF the vessel in winch he
was to sail would enable him to
protract his stay for u week longer.
All Were thus in the enjoyment OF
what seemed perfect happiness when
it was announced that Il fisherman
who had been expected to lend his
aid in the boat the next day, would
not be able to go. In consequence
OF this disappointment, the father ad-
dressing Lynn, inquired what he said
to taking Il trip on this occasion
His answer was, 4 will GO sDh

His Youngest brother and sisters

we could prOpel our boat to WlndWard

We had rowed mile or two to-

slackening her weather braces and
bowlines, keep away, as it dete4rni1l-

her, the main top-gallant sail and the
courses were loosed and set, her yards
were squared, and she was steered
away from the land, leaving MS, whom
her governors must have seen, to the
perils and horrors Of a stormy night
in a boat, the keel Of which was
only eighteen feet in length.
And now commenced our hard

The Peace PARTY.

Day by day says the Paterson IN. j.
Register, the peace party in this country
is growing stronger and Stronger The
first flush of angry excitement having pass
ed away, and the stern and horrible reali-
ties of war having begun to manifest them
selves, the conservative thinking portion
of the community are beginning to ask
themselves what can be. gained by all this
bloodshed and devastation !? And they
find the question, when considered in its
various bearings, far more easily asked
than answered. Each day the suicidal
policy of the administration becomes more
and more evident. Each day the people
see more clearly that it is folly to build up
an immense national debt to lie like an in
cubus upon the energies and resources of
the country for years. They are beginning
to understand that the sacrifice of thousands
OF lives is wrong, when calm negotiation
will settle every difference. They have
abundant evidence that the war, if prolong-
ed, will utterly ruin every business man
at the North, and throw the entire labor
ing class into state of restitution and dis
tress never before witnessed on this cont.
nent. Because of these facts the friends
OF peace are daily becoming holder and
more numerous.

Opening of the Schools.

1t will be seen in our advertising col
umns that the several schools in our neigh.
borhood will be re-opened on the first Mon.
day of next month.
The Hartford Academy, under the charge
of R. W. Newman, Esq, affords excellent
facilities for the education of young men
and boys. The building has been put in
excellent condition, the grounds improved,
&c. Circulars containing terms and full
information can be had by addressing the
Principal, at Bel Air.
The Female Seminary, under the super.
vision of Miss Davenport, is an excellent
institution for young ladies, and offers
great inducements to parents to properly
educate their daughters. The terms are
moderate, and can be known by circular
which will be sent on application.
Mrs. M. L. johnson is about to open a
new school for young ladies, in tie build
ing formerly occupied by Rev. DR.. Wiekes
and advertises to pay particular attention
to the smaller class. s..
The public schools of the county will
be re-opened on the same day.

Black Republicanism the Cause of the
War

Black Republicanism is the cause of the
civil war which is now devastating this
Republic. For quarter of a century they
have been carrying On war of vitupera-
ton and abuse against the South and her
domestic institutions. They at last I'M
masked their purpose of the final Abolition
of Slavery, by adopting as plank in the
Chicago platform that the institution should
be confined to the States in which it now
exists, which they know would produce
its final extinction. Thus they declared a
war of determination against the present
institutions and forms of civilization at the
South.
The people of the South, seeing as ev-
cry man saw, that this was policy which
would lead to the extinction of their insti-
tutlpnss aS;isa sotal revolution in their ex-
listing forms of society, resolved to resist.
No other course could be expected of any
people thus assaiied And this is the true
cause OF the present war. 1t is the cru
SADIE of Black Republicanism against Slav-
cry. The attack on Fort Sumter is not
the cause. 1t is but link in the chain of
circumstances which has led the country
to this lamentable issue. No sensible man
should allow himself to be SO much be-
fooled as to believe that the attack on Fort
Sumter was the cause Of the war. That
was ruse of the Administration to make
a new issue, and to divert the attention of
the people from the real cause of the war,
which is Black Republicanism. Men who
advocate the prosecution of the war advo-
cate Black Republicanism, and they should
not be allowed to escape the odium which
attaches to snch position.

nay-We have lust received from a friend

Ba-We have Just received from friend
the following letter for publication, writ
ten by "a 'rebel" from Hartford who was
engaged in the battle of Manassas We
call the attention of our readers to the
striking contrast between the facts con-
tanned in this letter and the Federal reports
of that disastrous rout
We are not at liberty to give the name
of the writer, nor the party to whom it was
sent, but we assure our readers that the
letter is genuine and reliable:
FAIRFAX G. H., July "a, 1861.
Friend .B.:-Knowing the interest you
manifest in me, and the cause I espoused
before leaving Hartford, and the notorious
| ly false reports circulated by the admins
tration and its allies, I herewith enclose
you correct account of the late great bat
tie, as matter of peculiar interest.
The battle commenced about 5 o'clock
on the morning of the 2lst, by cannonad-
30 on our right, and ended at 4 D. m. of
the same day in the complete rout of the
federal army. The victory was complete,
and we followed up their retreat until next
morning, killing and wounding ten thou.
sand of the enemy, and taking two thou
sand prisoners, besides capturing their
baggage, baggage wagons, provisions, hos
pital stores, tents, guns, &c. Sherman
famous battery, horses, Gall that were left, }
ammunition and equipments, are all in our
hands. Out of their seventy-fve pieces
of artillery they only saved sixteen. Ellis
worth's Zouaves left with about one hun
drcd men. We went through hardships
for three days unequalled in revolutionary
annals, but are now fareing sumptuously
on the spoils of the enemy-plenty of cof-
fee, tobacco, segars, whiskey, overcoats,
blankets, &c.
was in the battle all day, and, must
confess, felt little. frightened at being
compelled to stand off and let Sherman's
battery throw she'll and grape into us, but
when in close quarters, | felt easy enough.
Capt. Bissell led his men bravely on, and
covered himself with glory Our compa-
ny of cavalry supported his regiment
Poor Kennard fell in the moment of VIC
tory. He had a presentiment that he
would not survive the fight. Jeff. Davis,
the old "arch-traitor," was in the battle,
and next day, like Napoleon, visited all
the camps. Wherever he went the men
felt safe, and forgot all their troubles.
We had much sport in reading the let
tiers of the enemy-from wives to their
husbands, parents to their children, and
girls to their lovers. Among other curio-
sites with which we supplied ourselves
were a number and variety of Daguerreo-
types of factory girls We expect soon to
have another fight, and 1 hope the God of
Battles will help us, as he has helped US
before. Yours, e.

Humbling Virginia.

We often see the expression in the Black
Republican papers, that Virginia must be
humbled as one of the results of the pre-
sent civil war. When Sovereign States
are subjugated and humbled, what sort of
a Union will we then have? Will it not
then be, to all intents and purposes, a
CONSOLIDATED DESPOTISM? And
rather than that such substantial change
in the Government should take place,
would it not be better to let the South de-
part in peace, and save out of the wreck of
the Union two powerful Republics, both
based on the great principles of State So
vereignty and Popular Liberty
