Litchfield enquirer., 1862-10-30

Is bull warnt morn six feet of, an the mint r- seed my head he came at me full chisel. TT g first knowed had lodged back inter the stun ts agin, and hadn't morn touched the bottom fol r I felt another offel keen bite in my leg. Imad y a rush to git out agin, but the cussed, infern'
 bull drove at me, an I was bleeged to pop bac d agin' As squeezed down inter my stump agil !, I would CT bet gallon O rum that Sarer An l. would be a widder in less'n tew hours. trie e to cypher out which would be the most becomir g for christian, to be pzened to death by an oft ' great snaik, or have my inards sluug to the fou winds by cussed brindle bull. I thot of tn ' martyrs-of Amos billed in ile, Elizer sneere
 with honey, and Joseph tempted by Pottifer' wife, and concluded that ort to profit by thei example, and grin and bear it, no matter ho,
 much it went agin the grain. But l got js tthen offel bite or tew. and to save my soul I couldn't help sticken out my head, and thu bull bein' on hand, let drive and filled my eye . chuck full of barks and dirt so down hopplee again for snaiks. Inow begin to get bites ofs : frequently, and in bad places the whizzen' go' louder, squirmed and twisted, and screeched al
 a fast rate, and in grabbin' round 1ketched some
 thing and got bite in the hand,
 held my holt on to it, and behold it proved
 to be notbin' but yaller jacket When
 found wasn't snaik bit, felt suthin lift of
 my stumck like a bag O shot, Glory to God
 ses l. I may live to purtect the widder and
 fatherless yit! I felt for mint as if I didn't
 ke'r iur all the yeller jackets between the Miss ississppi and Missouri-but the blessed Jerusha
 I hadn't seen one there to where see a thous
 and in another mint! The whole holler O that
 stump got yaller with 'em, I couldn't stand it
 long that way. tried to think of some kind O
 prayer suitable to the 'casion, and commenced :: .' Now lay me down to sleep" but by Jewdas
 I couldn't pray for cussin." jist swore, bull or
 no bull, was gwine to emigrate from that par
 ticular spot but every time I put my head
 above the stump. the bull pitched at me and
 hit tha stump jist like maul-he looked ofel
 feroclous. with his eyes as green and blazin' as fire, and the foam droppin' from his mouth. ]
 was bobbin' up aud down so continnerally, that
 was abeout half the time in the stump and
 half eout. and at last Ifelt the stump beginnin' to give way under the thumps the internal old
 brndle was giviu it, and l swear my hair rig
 straight on eend. I made up my mind to get
 eout O that SOFT chow, purity quick, but jist at
 that mint raised up my head to jump out and
 run, the old cuss came at me, with his head
 daeown and tail up, at locomotive speed, and
 as l lodged daeown he struck the stump, tore it
 up at the roots and shot me eout like was a
 bumshell, clean over the bank into the creek. and arter me come stump, bull and all. The fore feet, CT one on 'em, of the bull, struck me
 rite on the back-and reckon that's what tore
 the carpet bag-knockin' me clean daeown to
 the muddy bottom of the creek. When l rig,
 the fust thing seed wur the old felcrs tail, and
 as couldn't swim a lick, made grab for it
 and made him tow me ashore. When We got
 there, I let go and run one way, while the bull
 run the other, and that is the hull long aud short

 We present the following Letter to the Can.
 did consideration of our readers, written by a
 lifelong Democrat in the State of New York upon the questions of the day It will amply
 repay perusal, although addressed to local or.
 ganization and in another State, by every De
 mocrat who loves his country above his party and who believes with DICKINSON, TRENAINE CoRcoRAS, DIX, HoLr and WAnswoRrz, tha,
 the Government must be sustained.
 To the Hon. GIDEON J. TuckER aud las asso
 ciates of the Democratic Committee
 ' GENTLEMEN: For your courteous invitations
 of the 7th and 9th inst, "to act as Vice Pres . ident," and also to address the mass meeting
 called to ratify the ticket headed by the Hon Ho:atio Seymour on Monday evening next, you will please accept my respectful acknowl edgment, In case of my inability to be pres
 cnt, you ask me to present my views by letter In D.; ordinary condition of public affairs, while not unmindful of the intended honor, l should not greatly care to avail myself of the courtesy ! thus offered me. Under such circumstances, i the object of the meeting met my approval, should probably attend. If by reason of deter mined difference ofopinion l could not be foun' l actively consenting to the pTe-arranged resolve
 and measures of the party to which my life g long allegiance had been devoted, should COZ 7 tent myself, as best could, with silence an with absence.
 : The affection inspired by early prediction, re l. spect for the opinions of my old political asso 0 ciates, the memory of a thousand battles NO e and many honors conferred on me personal, g would not permit me for any slight or transfer e causes to separate even temporarily from the fo F. tunes of my party organization. l should tru
 to time to provide remedy for any evils whic J. might be heedlessly inflicted on the public, an e to reflection to harmonize the differences whic It l should fain hope had only momentarily arise = to divide me from my friends. But unless l al F. entirely at faalt, this is ordinary condition el public affairs. Nor is the ratification you pr III pose so divested of alarming considerations { 1t to permit me to pass it by with silent indife at ence. These are maments of such awful IT 10 port to the interests, the honor, the unity ar to the life of ones country, that silence is erin :" nalisy, and absence from the post of honorab y duty, no matter whether it bears us along wi in ancient party organization, or carries us far
