the collar, whirled him round ard threw him
on his face in tbesoow- The robber struggled,
but the stranger knelt heavily on the small OF

The robber felt the cold barrel of pistol at

Mlly Acknowledged the truth Of the remark,
and she knelt and thank her Father Heaven
for her deliverance.
The next day Milly's husband came home
and when he had been told all, he remarked;

money Is plenty with me, lest they should be

That day some sixty or seventy men gath
cred at the house of Mr.. Dean, The robber
was recognized as a notorious horse thief, who
had long infested the neighborhood. There
was summary trial, and then in dogged 81
lence the wretch who would have burned a
harmless infant and murdered a faithful and
gentle woman, submitted to his inevitable fate
A rudely constructed gallows and a stout rope
ended his existence So on the thinly settled
frontiers of the West do they mete out justice
to offenders against property and life.
About seventeen hundred dollars in bills
were found on the person of the robber, besides
the gold be had taken from Mrs Dean. As
there were no claimants for the bills at the
suggestion Of the stranger whose life had been
saved from the anger Of the winter Storm by
the shelter he found in the smoke house, a
thousand dollars of the seventeen hundred was
presented to Milly, in consequence Of what she
had passed through, and the remainder of ii
was divided around.
On that very spot now there Is a thriving
town, and one of the finest residence in the
place is that where dwells Milly Dean aud her

Good Union Testimony.

The Louisville Democrat, a staunch and re-
liable organ of the unconditional Union men of
Kentucky, to whose efforts, in connection with
its able colleague, the Louisville Journal, we
are greatly indebted for the preservation Of
that State to the Union, says in a recent num-
ber:
"Of course this same Republican party are
opposed to the South ever being represented in
Congress. 1t would upset all their calculations
and dsappoint their hopes They don't want
the Union restored; it is not their interest
They and the rebels South are a unit in oppo-
sition to the Union. A restored Union Will
be death of both of them"
The same paper bears the following testmo-
ny TO the Northern Democracy:
SOUND FOR THE UNION"
"The local elections in Ohio show a vastly
increased Democratic victory. Let all Ken
tuckians bear in mind that, in the present
Congress, wherever you find the vote of the
Border Slave States, you will find the North
ern Democratic vote with them. The North
ern Democratic press and the loyal press Of the
slave States speak the same language.
We admit that some of the Republicans in
Congress are conservative and still more Of
them are SO at home but they are constantly
subjected to party pressure and in their efforts
for wise and moderate policy they will have
to denand chiefly on their nolitical ornaments
to sustain them. On the other hand the De
mocracy Of the North are not only sound for
the Union, but for the Union the right way"
Now in connection with the above, read the
following. Less than year ago. Wendell
Phillips made speech in the fremont lem
pie, at Boston, in which he said
The anti-slavery party had hoped for and
planned disun5on, because it would lead to the
development Of mankind, and the elevation Of
the black man"

RAILROAD PoETRY-A correspondent Of
the Broome County Republican describes his
iaunt over the Syracuse and Binghampton
Railroad, from Cortland, in the following strain:
So much | wrote in Cortland's bounds, and
would have finished there, had not the down
trains whistle loud, resounded through the air
So shaking Fairchlld by the hand who said
come up again" bade farewell to every
fear, and jumped aboard the train. Rushing
round the hillside, darting DER the plain, over
the rivers, under the roads, Van Bergen drove
his train The moon threw bright efulgent
rays on each small ripple's crest the river
seemed a ribbon stretched along the meadows
breast; the evening wind came stealing thro'
the car with a gentle sigh, and brought cin-
der from the engine, which sprung into my eye.
Few and short We're the prayers I said and L
spoke not a word Of sorrow, but rubbed at
my eye till made it red, and knew 'tw0uld be
sore on the morrow. We soon got home at
the rate we ran, at an hour just right for re-
tiring, and down from his post came the engine
man. and the fireman ceased his firing And
thus too will cease the moral to the tale, be
always sure to mind your eyes, when riding on
a rail.

In large log cabin, in the valley of the
streamet, Milly Dean sat alone. Her husband
had gone to distant town, and the young
wife was left with her baby. Accustomed to
solitude, she felt safe, and sat in contentment
before the blazing fire; the flames leaped right
joyfully up the chimney, and the green logs
sizzled and cracked in the heat ike things of
life. Out doors, the wind was howling drear-
ly, and the snow falling heavily but Mlly
cared not, for it but made the fire more cheerful.
There came a rappng at the door.
" How strange! Who can that be at our
door this wild nigbt?" she said to herself, as
she rose aud went into the little entry.
The .rapping was repeated.
" w ho is there ?" she asked
For heavens sake let me ni am freezing

who are you, and how came you in this
lonely place on such an evening as this ?"
I am a traveller from below I lost my
way, aud am dying with cold. For PHYS sake

Milly hesitated. She was alone, and it was
three miles to the nearest neighbor's What
should she do? She paused in perplexity.

the words that met her hearing. There was a

and then to be taxed to the backbone to pay

our lives for the restoration of peace and the
maintenance Of the Constitution, and the pre-
servation of the Union, and its laws, but We
are not willing to fight for the abolition of
slavery"
The editor adds
"Our correspondent, We doubt not, speaks
the sentiments Of nine-tenths of the rank and
file of the army They did not enlist to fight
the battles Of aboIitiouisis, nor do they desire
to offer their lives for the sole benefit of the

The Springfield Mass Republican says ::
" There appear to be two classes Of men who
object to the finding Of the committee on Gov

nected in some way with the contractors. and
those who believe that for party purposes, par
ty raseoihies should either be winked at or
left unexposed."
They can do these things just as easy-and
never wink. Does any one suppose that the
President winked when be sent that public

SENATORS DAVIS, WILSON AND SUMNER
We copy the following from the Cincinnati
Commercial of the 10th ult:
Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts, and Gar
ret Davis, of Kentucky, had sharp discussion
in the Senate, the other day. In the course of
his remarks Wilson said
Last summer be advised them to be neutral
when the question was whether the nation
should live or die, survive or perish That
was his voice to Kentucky last summer.
Mr.. Wilson was speaking without correct
information. Garret Davis was one of the
leaders in Kentucky, who, by their courage
and diplomacy prevented the secessionists there
from preciptating the State out of the Union
The famous Lincoln guns which have the
reputation of saving Kentucky, were procured
through the personal agency of Garret Davis.
He did good work, and if be does say rash
thing occasionally, his valuable services should
not be forgotten. We are not surprised that
he should become irritated by the overbearing
and uuco-righteous tone of the Senators from
Massachusetts. When either of them has done
more practical service for the Union, than Da
Wis did in procuring the Lincoln guns, thev
will have earned better titles to the public
gratitude, than they now possess"

the Washington correspondent OF the Times,

Of the campaign of the peninsula was, when he

Gen. Mcdowell push across to the head of the
peninsula with 10000 men, and cut of the
rebel retreat that has now taken place. If
this plan had been carried out, not regiment
OF all the rebel army at Y Yorktown would have
escaped but the plan was changed at Wash

consent. His enemies blame him now for let
