| Jne nealncss, precision ana ART OF slowing
away things which usually characterizos a
soldier or sailor when he has done with
anything he throws it down and forgcts
all about it, though he may want il again
ten minutes afterwards. He will apply
things in the most remarkable manner,
and without the smallest regard for the
purpose for which they were intended -
he would think nothing of drinking bran
! dy out OF II powder flask. and keeping
ammunition in sauce pan. lie would
carry a outlet in his turban, and a pair of
shoes in basket, without the least idea
Of untitness of place in either case and
his vanity would prompt him to give
away outlet, shoes, basket and all, in mere
gaiety Of heart, and to show his excellence
as forager.
ale is wonderful ~ a cook tailor, cob
bier, washerwoman but he usually ap.
plies all these gifts for the benefit OF any
body but himself. TO please a virandirc,
or an officers wife, who knows how to
manage him. he would sit up all night,
and give up petit Soupcr to mind her ba-
by. lie would turn carpenter blacksmith,
housemaid, for her, with equ Il energy
good will and success. He would risk his
NV ~ NAAi iiNl - IOoNSdD ulutI lllt tut-
my's guns, or to bring her some coffee
from shop in Sebastapol.
"Going into Sebastapol; indeed is his
tavorite exploit just now. 1t is idle to at.
tempt to look after him so he disappears
whenever il suits him. lie dresses him
self in some Russian uniform, found on
the field of battle, and joining some de,
serter, with whom lie has contracted q
sudden but afiectionate friendship, they
lay in wait, and bide their time. When
there is 4 sortie, they Join the retreatiug
Russ0ns and enter the town with them
If they are interrogated, they feign 10 be
drunk or stupid their Russian compan-
ions get Il EN- out OF the sCrare, for many
of them return sound and unharmed with
some indiSputable trophy of their daring :;
but many others, probably, fall victims in
some way TO such incOnceiYable tie
merity. 1t would be a stern man howcv-
err even for Russian. who could hang a
Zouave; and it must be a bad business,
indeed, if he could not satisfy anybody
who could speak French of the purity of
his motives, and in all probability, turn
his intended punishment into a reward
The tales they tell about themselves, in>
deed when they do come back, are far
more extraordinary than all the stories
Of Baron Munchausen nut together"
MoDnIyG \ DEMOCRATIC EDIToR AND HIS
FANirY.-A cowardly mob of Black Re-
publcans attacted Mr.. Mc(iregor, the edi-
tor of the Stark County Democrat, at Mas
sion, Ohio ard endeayorcd to lynch him.
Mr.. McGregor took refuge in the Mayors
office. whence he was driven out of town
! in carriage followed by hootIng and
yelling multitude, who, however Mad not
the courage to lay hands on him. 4 par
" of the same stripe surrounded Mr.. Me
Gresor's house in Canton, in which were
! his wife and little children, in his absence,
and frightened them of course, consIdeTa-
bly. After all this mani, performance
they retired. In reference 10 this en-
phatic ILLUSTRATION of the Party OF free
speech" the Democrat says,
ave know the names of some ot the
leaders in this outrageous affair, and regret
to say that our men of property and have
families and ought to ieelan interest IN
preserving good order and respecting per
sons and property. We are gradually
getting the names of the cowardly insti'
gators of the mo5ting and the lynchinl
code in Canton, and snail very soon give
their names in glaring caVitals.-ln tho
list will probably be the names of men in
public business-Men who make oper
professions of christianity, and who are
lust now loud mouthed patriots, but al
wavs heretofore opposed their own coun'
, try wien engaged in war with foreigI
foe. As publisher OF th'
Stark County Dcmocro, we have ever eXor
cised that wholesome and invaluable
right Of freely publishing our sentiment
/ and views, and shall endeavor TO contln
; ue 30 do. No rowdyism nor threats 4

, ;tionism.
. ASoTHER OF THE sAME.-Mr. Livermors
Y editor of the Troy, CN. " Nnes, was yisi
ted by committee, his office mobbed, an
himself compelled TO take refuge in Cana
t da, for expressing himself too freely o
the casses of our present troubles-unde
the delusion that this is a land of "fre
p speech and free press" He' publises
v statemen of the transaction in the Toron

"The letter we print this morning fror

that mob law is peculiarly Southern inst
