equal one Southerner?"

"Why, sir, it takes four Northerners TO

inches long was found in his throat which
had strangled him, and another, 10 inches
long, was tound lying near his mouth, hav-

young man had probably not eaten much
Tor several days, as his stomach was nearly
empty, perhaps causing the worms TO look
elsewhere for food.

THE HEROIC WIFE OF PARsoN BRowN-
Low.-The naturally feeble health of the
Parson gave way after the lapse of month,
under the close confinement and i'll treat
ment. He was taken sick with the typhoid
favor, when the earnest prayers ofhis fami-
ly and friends for permission TO remove him
TO his home was at last granted. He was
confined TO his bed and room for nearly
eight weeks. AT one time his life was des-
paired Of Even during his ILLNESS the
Rebel prosecutions did not cease. The
house was surrounded day and night by
guards. The members of his family we're
not allowed to leave it. The surveillance
went SO far as to compel his wife TO do her
marketing in front of the house, in the pre-
sence Of one Of the guards. Every oppor-
tunity was also improved by Rebel das tar ds
to insult Mrs. Brownlow and her children.
On one occasion, a company of cavalry that
had run away from the battle field at Lo-
gan'S Cross Roads, leaving their horses and
everything else but their precious persons,
was marching past the house, while Mrs.
Brownlow was looking out of the window.
One of the runnaways stopped before her
and asked Are you the wife of traitor
and Lincolnite?" Tie spirited woman at
once replied: =" am glad that l am net
the wife of a miserable coward, that runs
away from the battlefield"

From the Boston Herald. Democratic,
President Lincoln.

From the Boston Herald. tDsmocraticl
President Lincoln.
We were not among those who advocated
the election of Abraham Lincoln to the
Presidency. 1t was not the man particu-
larly that we opposed as it was the doc
trines he and his party favored. Owing to
an unfortunate division in the Democratic
party, Mr.. Lincoln was elected, and is the
President Of the United States, legally and
consiilutionally elected. Since his inaugu-
ration all his acts have convinced US that
Mr.. Lincoln is no ordinary man; that he
is honest and patriotic in his intentions
kindly disposed and Is not the bitter parti-
zan many supposed him to be. He has
shown firmness of purpose at times when
men without nerve would have given way,
and disastrous consequences to The coun-
try would have followed. In his appoint
ments to office in military and civil life, he
has exhibited degree of iberality towards
his political opponents truly commendable.
In his intercourse with those who call upon
him, he is pleasant and affable, with kind
word for all. He has endeavored to main
tain the integrity of the Union, and has
maintained the integrity of the Union, and
has at all times resisted the demands OF
his extreme party friends in their efforts to
force extreme measures upon the country.
He has not hestatcd to take the response
blity when occasion required it; when he
has made up his mind there is no moving
him. He has some Of those strong traits
of character which distinguished Gen. Jack
son and which made the old hero so popu-
lar with the people. Mr.. Lincoln sincerely
desires to see the country restored TO peace
and quiet and is directing all his energies
to accomplish this great object. His Eman-
cipation message is kind it is not ultra, but
just what was wanted at the time 1t was is
sued, and has had the happy effect of unit.
ing the discordant elements in Congress in
good degree.
Mr.. Lincoln sees, as everybody must see,
that as the army advances into rebel terri
tory, slavery cannot stand while the coun-
try is under martial law, for the slaves are
driven away in one direction and run away
in another. This is one of the logical con-
sequences of the war. The question is
what is to be done with those who escape
within our lines. Mr.. Lincoln proposes to
colonize them somewhere in climate suit
ed to that race. In this he exhibits states
manship, and hfs recommendations are en-
titled TO fair and candid consideration.
He has now assumed the command of the
army, and we believe he will soon make
himself felt. Abraham Lincoln is the man
who is moving the army, and moving it ju-
diciously too. If anybody thinks he does
not know what he is about they do not know
the man. He is far more able man than
many suppose. Those who have thought
to circunvent him have found out that they
have made slight mistake. In our iadg-
ment he will carry the country through her
troubles triumphantIy, and the historian
will give Abraham Lincoln high position
with those who have gone before him in the
high and responsible office of President of
the United States.

The Brutality OF slavery.

II is revolving to every Christian feeling
to speak of the brutality that slavery breeds,
and the manifestations of i. now made pub
lie. We would gladly discredit what is re-
ported in letters from the South. But JUS
tic e seems to demand the exposure, so far,
at least, as to prove that TO be actual among
a slav eholding people, which shocks every
one here as impossible to humanity. As
an illustration of our meaning, we select a
paragraph from one of Rev. A. ii. CUNTS
letters to the Congregationahist. He writes
from Winchester, Va, west of the Blue
Ridge, where the slaveholding spirit is sup
posed to appear in milder form -
You see accounts of Southern brutality,
occasionally. j have never believed much
of that-knowin ing some noble Southerners.
But am satisfied. A clergyman of this
county, l will not give his name, man
who only from compnlsion became silent. as
to the guilt of secession, assures me on his
honor, that Yankee skulls were hawked
about his town after the Bull Run battle,
at ten dallars a piece. Spurs, also, were
made of jaw-bones, to his personal know
ledge. A member of his own church, who
was at Bull Run, told him that hundreds of
bodies were left head-less, for such pur-
poses. But | am not at all surprised |
have ceased to feel any wonder at the
bru:alites of a slayeholding people,
From various sources do we find these
acts of unprecedented barbarism fully con-
irmed. In some instances the skulls of
ar soldiers were cleaned ornamented and
ent home as trophies. A member of the
I'D Massachusetts, on the 28th March thus
writes:
" was at Bull Run and Centerville the
other day. | saw several bodies with the
remains of red clothes hanging to them.
They were the Zoaares. What was pecu-
liar, they had no heads; not one ! They
could not have been planted more than six
inches deep"
A member Of New Jersey regiment also
writes to the same effect, and that they used
skulls for ladlesl Members of the Sani-
tary commission and other visitors at Man
assas, testify to the same facts.
