STRANGER THAN FICTIoN.-A maid servant
is sent out for pint of beer. She goes
smiling into public house, where she meets
a young man who keeps company with her.
When she leaves the house with thu beer he
follows her out. She offers him some of the
beer, which he drinks; she takes her share,
too, and between them the beer is soon fin
ished. There is then nothing for this young
couple to live for. "The wine of life was
drawn, and the mere loss left this vault to
brag Of" The world was at an end for this
pair with the pint of beer, and nothing left
for them but to die; so they went TO the
Surrey Canal, and, according to the mans
account, tied themselves together and rolled
themselves into the water. The end was
traRical, for the woman was drowned; the
man, as usually happens in such cases of
joint suicide, was more fortunate, but as ac-
cessory to the woman's act of felo de Sc, he is
committed to take his trial for murder. A
short time ago similar case occurred in
France, with this difference-that a small
fortune had been run out by fond couple,
instead of pint of beer, and, when all was
spent, it was agreed that the young man, a
soldier, should kill the woman with a sword,
and then himself He did the first very
effectually, but when it came to his own
turn he had not the heart to give himself
more than a slight flesh wound.-Lats Lon

One thing more. You publish in the
same paper, all account given by some
correspondent Of the discharge of ''a
thousand ,egroes,' who had been en-
ployed by Gen. Butler. And the pur-
pose of the article seems to be to ex-
cite sympathy for this thousand men
let loose in their owl. State, near their
homes, to take care Of themselves, or
to provoke indignation for the wrong
done them by the Federal officer. The
story may be canard; or the transac-
ton may be wrong. But in either way,
there can be no harm in giving it pub
lication.
But, let me ask, Messrs. Editors, have
you no room in your columns to set
forth the gallantry, the endurance, the
wicked wrongs and the horrible suffer-
ingS of the white men-the Union men
of East Tennessee. of Northern AL
ALBANIA, of Western Texas, and of Ar
kansas and Missouri?
Have you no place to portray the
tolls, the privalions, the sickness, the
wounds, the deaths, the death-defying
courage and never-dying patriotism of
Union soldiers, in the field, Of whom
100000 have fallen victims of this
cauSeless war?
Must we "shriek'' for the "nigger,"
and let white men die unpitied and un-
praised? For heavens sake, let us
forget and forego party, and know on
ly our country till the war is over, and
the Government safe.
Very respectfully yours,

AMERICAN FEELING AGAINST ENG

AMER1cAN FEELING AGAINST ENG
LAND.-The journals used to declare
that the American feeling against
England was merely the babble of the
mob. They are now beginning to ad
nit that it is the steadfast sentiment of
our best classes, aid speculating vague
ly as to it's cause. We can very easily
tell why the American people cherish
bad feeling against England. They
know that for the last thirty years the
English aristocracy has been trying to
break up this Union by fostering and
encouraging the anti-slas cry sentiment
our sole weakness They know that
when the rebellion began the aristo-
Gratis Of England took advantage Of the
chance to destroy Us, and joined heart
and hand with the slaveEolding rebels.
They knew that this rebellion was born
in Exeter Hall, nurtured by English
aristocracy, armed from English arse
nails, and supported by English sympa-
thy and assistance.-N r Herald.

The following is the form of oath
usually administered to contrabands
that come within our lines at Freder-
icksburg:
"You Cicero, do solemnly swear you
will bear true allegiance to the United
States, that you will take good care of
the horses and mules, and if any of
them get away you will go after them,
no matter how dark it is, and will also
black boots to the best Of your knowl-
edge and belief. So help you General

it is being administered, is said to be
edifying.

WHY CLING TO THE NIaGER.-Gov
johnson said in his speech at the capt
tol on the 4th inst, that if a negro was
stolen the Union must be broken up if
he was not returned, but if Southern
merchant swindIed his Northern credi-
tors out of 100000 it was all right.
A striking case illustrating this point
is given in a late number of the New
York World IT, president Of one
Of the cty banks id one Of the lead
ing men Of the metropolis, owned a
large fortune which was in the South,
among which were 100000 in North
Carolina State bonds. To avold CON
tscation, he resigned his position in
the bank and even went to Carolina to
reside. But it was all III vain, the con-
tiScatlon act swept all away.
Here is a gigantic swindle and rob
berry committed on Northern man by
the Southern rebel chivalry to the
amount Of 100000, or the price of at
least 42S negroes in good times. Moth
ing is said about this outrage, but
what an uprcar we would have heard
had this Northern man taken from one
Of the chivalry one negro. Why this
difference ? Why is the negro hel | so
sacred above all other property p
Why is it if sull or dog becomes dan
gerous it can be killed and its owner re-
celve no compensation, but if slave
be hung for murder, every taxpayer
in the State is made to put his hand in
his pocket and pay the owner for his
negro ?-NushUiWe Union.
