TURNED UP AL1vE.-Some time since,
Mr.David Yohe, of Pigeon Greek, Wash.
ington county, Pa, went to the battle field
of Fort Doneson and had disinterred Gas
he supposedly the body of his son, who had
received wound during the fight, of which
he died and was buried. The body was
conveyed home and reinterred in the fam
lily burial ground, at Pigeon Creek, all
the family being satisfied of the indentity
Of the body, except sister of the deceased.
Last week Mr. Yohe was astonished at re-
ceiving a letter from his son; whom he sup
posed dead and buried, stating that after
some weeks, treatment in the hospital he
had recovered so as to be able to rejoin his
company, and expect to take part in the
next battle. The joy of the family can bet
ter be imagined than described.

The LATEST RoMIsH MIRAcLE.-A
pastoral letter from the Archbishop of
Spoleto to his flock has been published, re-
lating to a series Of "miracles" which, he
asterts, have just been performed by an
old and discoloured imagh Of the Virgin
Mary near Spoloto "Some months ago."
he says, "this venerable image, to some
extent, received its worship by means of
voice, which was several times heard by
child under five years of age, named Hen
ri, whom it called by its name. 1t also
showed itself to this child in a manner wo
cannot describe" The Bishop then goes
on to narratc that several villages suffer-
ing under dangerous and painful affections,
especially persons laboring under rhou-
matte affections, felt themselves inspired to
visit this image and worship it, and wero
restored to perfect health. a man whose
feet had been crushed by the wheels of a
wagon, no sooner approached the image
than he was able to stand and walk as be-
fore. Moral miracles have also been per-
formed. Scofers who have gone to the
spot have, on drawing near experienced a
complete change of heart. The exhibition
has not been unproductivc to the treasury
ofthe Church. Every visitor is expected
to leave some deposit; and the Archibish-
op speaks Indignantly of an attempt made
by the police officer of the Italian Govern
ment to procure a satisfactory account of
oftho receipts. The Archbishop has had
a medal struck in honour of "the divine
image"

SOUND OF CANNoN.-We stated that
the reports of cannon were heard plainly
at this place on Tuesday, the Sd instant.
Ii is now known that on that day fighting
occurred throughout the whole forenoon at
Strasbrrg, Va, over one hundred miles in
a direct line from this place, over hills,
mountains and valleys. A gentleman in
whom we place implicit reliance informs
us that on Saturday, the 3lst of May, the
day the great battle near Richmond he
was riding On the road near Baltimore
and heard a continuous roar in that dUec-
ton, and at time when there no indica'
tions ofthunder. We are fully impressed
with the idea that the firing Of cannon ear
be heard much further thanis supposed
1t must be over one hundred and fft,
miles to Richmond - Io,0osOat,UH AdV,

THE EARLY RISER, Happy the man
who is an early riser Every morning,
day comes to him with virgin love, full
of bloom, and purity, and freshness. The
youth of nature is contagious, like the glad
ness of happy child l doubt ii any man
can be called old, SO long as he is an early
riser and an early walker And, oh youth.
take my word for it-youth in dressiog
gowu and slippers, dawdling over br'ak-

Eay- Meanness shows itself oftenest in
little things in scant measure, light
weight, saving half cents in making change,
requesting merchant to take few cents
short to save changing a bill, in being last
at work and first a. dinner, in watching the
clock or the sun at the close of a days
work, and in similar trifes. Like drops
of water they are felt, and in time will wear
out the endurance of the best customer and
the patience of the most indulgent employ.

THE SHOE BUSINESS. s.-The Newbury.
port Her aid says that the shoe business is
reviving, all the shoe towns feel the good
effects. In Lynn, Marblehead, Haver.
hill, and hundred other towns in this
State, work is abundant, and the working
people are few; wages have advanced, and
the manufacturers refuse 10 take orders for
the future at present prices, so that wa
ges may be better yet. Real estate is ad-
vancing, the tradesmen are very hopeful
and everything looks first rate.

General Fremont.

The New York Tribune i. the sole de
fender of General Fremont's conduct in
giving up his command in Virginia AS
contrasted with the course pursued by
General Banks and Mcdowell, it looks
still worse. They are the seniors of Gen
eral Pope, in years as we'll as in date
of commission. But they do not hesitate
to serve under him, when the President
so directs.
The best friends Of General Fremont
are now constrained to admit that his ca
reer has been failure. In civil il,political
and military life he has failed signally.
Everybody. knows what confusion he
wrought in Missouri last year, and what
disasters we suffred from his management.
If there were any who doubted that he
was properly removed from command in
Missouri, they will doubt no longer, after
observing the manner in which he failed to
catch Jackson in Virginia, and especially
after observing how he threw up his
command, when almost facing the
enemy, simply because the President
chose to put his corps, along with those
of Banks and Mcdowell, under another
General.
Scarcely any officer of high rank has
received so much indulgence from the
Government rs General Fremont His
extravaganza and neglect in Missouri
were tolerated very long--too long,
indeed, as the sacrifice Of Lyon and
scores of other disasters attest. Aiter~
wards, Military Department was ere
ated expressly for him, and he was put
in charge of large army. With part Of
his troops he made some loug and rapid
marches; but they were in the wrong di-
recton and accomplished nothing. Now
when the troops in Virginia were to hf
organized, under plan agreed upon by
/ the President and General Scott, this
much-indulged officer retires from th'
field in disgust. This shows that hi
chief motive, in entering the army, wa'
selfish ambition and not patriotism. |
his disgust could be so much increaed Il
to make him resign his commission,
would be relief to the country, He i
likely to be a useless Major General, 70
it is not to be expected thrt the Presldcn
will entrust command to a man who's
sensihllity is so great that he cannot serv
under General like Pope.

the same feeling, which is excited by a liv-

Original Poetry.
For the Columbia Democrat.
My Country.
BY REV. JOHN SUTTON.


Hail Columbia, favored nation,
Blest with all that's great and free.
In the earth, how high thy station,
Boosted home OF Liberty.
Rolling Oceans girt thy borders,
Noble rivers net thy plains,
Natures's powers obey thy orders,
Speeding on in lightning trains.
Grandly rise thy lofty mountains,
Rich with treasures they contain,
Mighty lakes and sparkling fountains,
Valleys filled with waving grain.
Gold and siverin abundance,
Garners running DER with bread,
Enough for thee, with 4 rcdundancc,
BY which n hungry world is fed.
Richer still in mental treasures,
Science spreads her golden wings,
Fans the mind to boldest measures,
Accomplishing unhcard of things.
lllcst with virtue and religion,
Blcst with all that man can have,
Blgst with light in every region,
Blcst with all that God can give.
o! my country what doth all thee,
Not contented with thy store,
Why should any one bcwail thee,
Nccdst thou, can'st thou ask for moro.
Why these rotcs Of preparation
Why these hosts in martial strife
Why these acts of desperation
Why this waste Of human life I
Has some proud foe from foreign nation,
Invaded now thy fair domain'
Jealous Of thy lofty station,
Wouldthy growing greatness gain,
Are not these hosts Of focmcn brotheTsl
Br others pledged to sa red ties
Then leave this bloody strife to others,
For each one Killed, a brother dies
Can'st thou by force restore c0mmunioni
Canst thou by hatred make u frendi
Will cannon balls bring back the Union!
Or will rebellion gain its cndl
God of Washington protect us,
Bid this bloody contest cease,
Let thy goodness Lord affect US,
Dispose our minds and hearts to peace.

Editors Latelligsncer:
desire TO say a few words through your
valuable paper, in regard to the excitement
that is increasing daily and almost hourly
in this region of country. Notwithstanding
that nearly all OF the citizens of this coun-
ty came forward aud took the oath Of al
legiance to the United States Government,
strange to say that nearly all of those
who advocated the doctrine of secession
at the commencement of our difficulties,
still hold out for secession, and are now
arming and equiping themselves for no
other purpose than to destroy the Union
citizens and their property. Such seems
30 be their intentions in this county,
but whether tits the case in other counties
am unable to say.
Nr. &. F. Taylor few days since
was captured by 4 band of guerrillas whilst
on scout. They did not carry him off,
but took about one hundred aud seveuty-
FIVE dollars worth of property and then re-
leased him. Other citizens have been rob-
bed oy those who claimed to ne loyal cit-
zens. The Union people will have to leave
or else be unceremoniousIy dragged off to
exc out a miserable existence in Rich
moud; in fact quite a number are on their
way northward.
The object of Withdrawing the troops
from the Southwestern part of the State
do not understand, but suppose it all to be
for the better. Major H. H. Withers is
stationed at Sutton with one company of
the 10Th Va, under Col. 7. NJ. Harris
The Major does not seem to be alarmed
and l have no doubt that be will defend
the post to the last extremity; yet would
not be surprised to hear of his being at
tackled by superior numbers at any time,
as the road is open from here to Lewis
burg, and the rebels can advance with per
feet impuni'y-
word in rega.d to the militia in this
country, and then I am done. Out of
about 500 who were an the muster rolls in
1860, do not believe that two hundred of
that number could be mustered, and if
they were called out majority of them
wou,d leave for Dixie So it is apparent
that homemade Union men will not do; or
in other words, that sworn secessionists
will rot do.
Yours, respectfully.

Senstble.

Sensible.
The Hon. Owen LovejOy, of Illinois, made
speech at Peoria, on the 18th. We quote
from the report of his speech, made by the
Transcript of that place:
He said he was no fault finder. He was
in favor of giving cordial support to the
President aud his Generals, and all who
were engaged in the work of suppressing
the rebellion. He had confdeHcs IN OH
-46e-5eiieved IN HIM Through and through"
and Srhdt lraS more, sup and do'cR.' When
the ship was at sea in storm, it was no time
to find fault with the captain our duty IS
to pull the ropes as he directs, and TO man
the pumps when be asks Us We must let
him steer the ship and direct her manage.
meut. Old Abe IS Captain, and 1 an pre-
pared, said the speaker, to pull the ropes just
as he orders.
On the emancipation question, Mr.. Love
Joy defined himself. He said he had quit
agitating the question long ago, and 10 the
last session of Congress did his best to
keep old brother WickIifFe, of Kentucky
from spouting on it, but be did not succeed.
Believing, he said. that the wagon had got
to the top of the hill, it would go down fast
enough without any further aid.
His Individual opposition to slavery was
10 the present Crisis SH6oTG1dfe 10 ms Tor :
for the Union. He endorsed President LIN
coins letter to Horace Greeley. If we
could best saVe the Caion by saOiag sLrVe7,y,
he said amen; il we could save II best by
partially sqving slavery, he said rn,s1 to thar;
if TO save it it was thought necessary 70
destroy SEaUery, tlCsnty dmenS to that. The
great object Of the srar WGS the prsssrUatIoH
OF the Union and the Constitution, and
Emancipation, if adopted, trould be only 4
meaHS to that end.
The speaker reviewed the position in
which slavery stood In regard to the rebel
lion, his views being precisely the same as
those urged by all loyal men not influenced
by love for the peculiar institution. He
showed the aid given the rebels by their
slaves, and the great advantage of depri-
wing them of their services. The remain
der of the speech was confined to an ez-
PLANTATION OF the provisions of the confis-
cation bill, and a defense of the justice of
that measure.
