Wonderful Feat of a Horse.
AN Eastern eXcbanCe says:-

An Eastern exchange says
On Thursday night last horse attach
ed to sleigh took fright at the locomo-
tive of the Boston and Worcester Railroad
near Boston, and, disengaging himself
from the sleigh, dashed upon the track a
head of the engine. The train followed at
a speed of fifteen miles per hour, and at
every stopping place the horse was discov-
cred to be in advance. Culyerts were plen-
tiful, but the horse escaped them all, cross
ing the bridge over the Charles River, at
the junction with the branch, and passed
safely over the bridge without flooring, a
half a mile or SO beyond, The whole dis
tance travelled was about fiye miles, and
the uncovered bridge was 6O feet long.
An examination of the bridge proves that
the horse, in leaping the spans of the
structure, gathered upon every third sleep
er, and this 200 in the night time, feat
probably never excelled. The sleepcrs are
about three feet apart.

How the Rebels Feel.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 10, l

BALTIMORE, req. ~, lOOZ.
The most extensive preparations had
been made for the Inauguration of Jeff.
Davis as president on the 22d inst. The
ceremony was to have been performed
with all the pomp and splendor that could
be devised. A military parade and ban
ouet were to add too the attractions of the
occasion, and a grand ball was TO conclude
the festivities of the day. Now, however,
all this is changed. In view of the serious
reverses that have happened, the ceremo-
nv is to be of the simplest kind, without
pomp or parade, without any military dis.
play, without banqueting or feasting; and
as TO the ball, as one of the ladies said
at would be disgraceful to be dancing and
enjoying ourselves after such defeats, and
while our pS soldiers are suffering" Sc
the ball, too, has been abandoned.
On Sunday last the Spottswood House
and the pavement in front oft, were filled
with excited crowds, discussing the news
from Fort Donelson, and the critical con-
dition of the Confederacy. A prominent
mem1er of the rebel Congress, whose rela-
ton to the rebel President gave great
weight to his words, declared "that the day
had come in which the Southern Confed-
eracy was to pass through the fire; that
the events of the next three months would
decide whether or not the Southern people
are worthy of being an Independent nation
that the fortunes of war consists of alter
nate victories and reverses and that, hav-
ing had their day of triumph, they were
now about to experience period of de-
feats; that the preparations Of so skilful
and scientific General as Nc Clellan,
made at his leisure, resulting IN the forma-
ton of an army Of 100000 soldiers, 'Oith
the discipline of regulars, must result IN
some successes on his part. But the re-
verses" he said, "would try the temper,
the powers of endurance aud the patriot
ism of the Southern people. If they be,
came discouraged: if their soldiers f'rea
of one brief campaign, refused 10 re'e@-
hst for the ,uar, they might as 'e" a0a"-
don the attempt to gain their independence,
Ian dowu their arms, return to the arts Of
nance acknowledge themselves fairly yan-
q equished, and submit to uhateUer terms the
NORTH sac fit to impose upon them. But,
if their troops re-enlisted, and the spirit of
their people remained unsubdued. the vic,
tories which the Unionists had gained
would be of no advantage to the victors,
but would only be a salu,ary lesson to the
South; that the topography and natural
features Of the Southern States were such
that no armies, however numerous and
well disciplined, could penetrate them, or
take possession of any of their cities, with
out being surrounded and cut of, either by
regular or guerrilla warfare; that the tide
of fortune would soon turn again in their
favor, if they would learn to rely on them
selves alone. But they must put forth
their best efforts, and give up the idea OF
foreign aid at present. ~ Y. Herald.

Will They Come Back ?

The Richmond papers say that every
train from Manassas is crowded with SOL
diers who are on their return home to visit
their friends-but who have promised to
come back and re-cnlist. Wonder how
much, under the circumstances, this prom
ise is worth I! The succession of rebel de-
feats which the rebel cause is encountering
at every point must be lively inducement
TO return. Once at home, they will, we
fancy, come to the conclusion that patriot
ism imperatively requires them to stay
where they are, SO as to help drive away
the "Hessian invaders" when they &c
down that way. Besides, if they spend a
few weeks at their firesides, it will proba.
bly, prove so difficult for them to find theil
old comrades and commanders, unless they
seek them among the prisoners in the
Union camps, that they will. scarcely at.
tempt SO desperate an undertakiDg.--N

Interesting FOREIGN News.

The latest advices from England remove
the least fear of present interference in
the affairs of this country. There are not
only rumors, but open charges that the
whole war panic was stupendous finan-
clal, stockholders scheme, calculated to
put money in the already groaning pockets
of the Rothschilds. The family of bank
ers control the London Times, Lord Pal
merston being connected both with the
Times and the financial interests of its
managers. 1t is known that while the war
fever was at the highest, and when, in
consequence of the danger of hostilities,
holders of stocks were disposing of them
at ruinous sacrifices, the Rothschilds were
buying everything in the market, and that
they have consequently added fabulous
sums 10 the untold wealth they had before.
1t is also known that Palmerston and
Russell had knowledge of pacific dispatch
from Secretary Seward-which, in reality,
dispersed every possibility of war upon the
Trent affair-three weeks before its con-
tents were known to the public; and that,
furthermore, Palmerston expressly denied
that any such dispatch had been received.
This was to keep stocks down still longer,
that the unscrupulous brokers might re-
alize their enormous profits at the expense
of the people. Englishmen,cau with poor
grace taunt us with the frauds upon our
Government, when they have such twen-
ty million specimen of rascality among
their head officials. But the game is now
played out, the money is made, the gov
ernment is twenty millions poorer, and
peace once more reigns.
There is still an interest felt IN the
threats of recognition of the Confederacy
1t was said that upon the opening of Par
lament strenuous effort would be made
for such recognition. Upon the 9th in-
slant Earl Derby made an important speech
upon the subject i'll the House of Lords.
This speech was so unsupported in the
Times that the gentlemen was made 10
say directly the opposite of what he really
said. Upon the next day be corrected this
important Misrepresentation. He said he
would not notice the other inaccuracies in
the report, which he believed was not so
accurate as reports in that journal gener-
ally were, and he only alluded to the one
be had mentioned because it attributed to
him exactly the opposite of what he utter
ed. In reference to the recognition of the
Southern Confederacy, the Times report
ed him to say that the time had nearly ar
rived when her Majesty's Government
ought to be called upon to recognize the
successful revolt of those Confederate
States. Now, what he did say was, that
in his judgement the time had not arrived
when Her Majesty's government was called
upon to recognize the Southern Confedera-
cy, and he added that although the prac-
tice of the Majesty's government was to re.
cognize any de ffacto government that had
succeeded in establishing ITSELF he did not
think the resistance of the Southern States
had been so complete and so successful as
to Justify them in recognising the inde-
pendence of State which had not yet
shown the power of securing and main
tanning their own independence.

Antedeluvian Trees.

The Chicago Tribune, of January sixth
says.
We saw, few days since, two remark
able specimen of petrfied trees from Pixies
Peak. They belong to the University Of
Chicago, and so far as our knowledge ex-
tends, though young institution, it has
the finest and largest specimens of the an
tedeluvian forests with which we are ac-
quainted.
While the change to stone is complete,
the structure of the wood is as perfectly
preserved as if change had occurred
The petrifying agent was silica, and it may
be seen incrusting some portions of the
surface in white and blue globules.
F,om the curvature Of the annual rings
of growth, we judge the tree from which
these specimens come to have been at
least fourteen feet in diameter, and their
number and thickness indicate that it must
have required about one thousand six hum
dred years to grow to that size. The
larger specimen of the two is over nine feet
in circumference at the base, on which
it stands nearly erect, and is five feet and
half high, and weighs one ton and half,
5000 pounds. The other specimen is
nearly as long, weighing half as much, and
is nearly uniform in size from end to end,
while the larger specimen tapers from the
base to about half the size at the top,
The species to which these wonderful
specimens belong has probably been long
extinct, but they appear to resemble very
closely in every respect the California red
wood.

How a Female Trio Came it over
SeceSh.

OSC6Sl1.
The Wheeling Intelligencer credits a
correspondent of the St. Clairsville Gazette
with the following story:
One day last week, 8 women of Bridge
port-Mrs. H., Mrs. McC., and Mrs. M
all wives of soldiers in the Federal army,
and participants Of the charities of Ohio,
each one of them drawing some two OF
three dollars per week; but not satisfied
with spread-eagle liberality, concluded, as
the fairy legends say, "to seek their for
tune" in another cline. So, after having
laid their heads together, it was arranged
that one should be spokesman, another
take care of The spoils, and another, a
saucy Irish woman, should do the crying
With that understanding they entered the
town of amalgamation Wheeling) under
the guise of grass-widows of the secession
army; and then and there, after much
sniveliug and lamentation, and abundance
of tears, succeeded in stirring up the sympa'
thes of several rebels to the tune of fifteen
dollars in goods, pewter and groceries, and
God only knows how much they would
have got had it not been that they ran
foul Of citizen who knew that one o.
them had a husband in the Union army
The fact could not be denied.
Thus "the best laid schemes of mice
and men gang aft a-glee," and the trio had
to skadadle to Ohio as fast as surdy leg:
could carry them, rejoiced that they had
not been coniscated, after the manner o.
Heaton's blank paper. In justice 10 the
secessionists of Wheeling, however, be il
said, that the women made most favora
bic report of their liberality and kindness
1t was the elder Weller, we think, who
could not remember how many men one
woman "was ekal TO in pint O. comm il
over feller," but he thought the number
was five and twenty. The above story j.
only another confirmation of the truth o
Mr. Welier's observations and the sound
ness Of his experience.

More Slave-Catching by the Cd
Ohio Cava1ry--How a Slave was
Delivered to his Secession Mas
ter and how he didn't keep him.
The following spirited sketch is from a
private letter in the I'd Ohio Cavalry to
his mother. 1t is dated Platte City, Feb.
18th. 1t proves the truth of the charges
that have been made of the fugitives be-
ing returned by the commanding officers,
and then-to the honor of the Reserve,
and the brave boys who accomplished the
feat-tells how slave was rescued from
his inhuman master ard sent to land of
freedom.
We omit names and some other details
that might get the writer into trouble With
his officers if published:
ave mad big time the other night. A
darkey ran away from his master, and
came to Company =. He was good
fellow, and we were going to take him
with us to Fort Scott; but along came his.
old master with an order from the Colonel
to hunt for his nigger. The Colonel was
not to blame; he had to obey his General.
The old sinner had three men with him.
We knew he was secesh, and We were aw-
full mad. the darkey said: "don't let
him take me; he will kill me-" Our Off
GERS were mad too. When night came,
one of our best boys came to me and said:
"Yankee, that SLAVE mast see LeapenUortA
to-niqht." l was in for it. After roll, at
o'clock, we started. There were three of
US. The boys names were and
- and myself.
The boys were just the right kind for
such snch thing-big, strong and good
pluck. l am not very large or very stout,
but l like that kind of work. 1t was
miles to the old sinners house; we went
across lots to avoid the patrol. We got
there about II o'clock. There was light
in the house; we went up and looked
through the window. What a sight! three
men, beside the master, had the slave
stripped and tied, and one of the men
whipping him with cowhide!
Mother, l had read of such things, but
never saw them before. 1t does not come
home TO read of them as it does to see
them. There stood the slave, with his
bare back bleeding-an awful sight!
We ran in. and G told him to stop that.
The master said it was his niger, ard he
would lick him when he wanted to, and
he hit the slave again. We had our re-
volvers out and ready. G. knocked the
old fellow down with the butt Of his re-
volver. The other men never said word.
We took the slave down and had him
put on his clothes. The boys stayed and
watched, and as l knew the road to Lesv-
venwortb, l went part of the way with
him, and showed him the way to go. The
BOYS waited till / came back"
