Ifthere is one thing in which the Ar.
govian takes particular pride, and in
which he particularly excells, it is in the
care of his cattle. They are elephants
in size, and their glossy hides betoken
some peculiar art on the part cf THEN
masters. Not particle of dust or straw
is allowed to cling to them, and they arc
combed and washed as only horses arc
elsewhere, not with a curry comb, but
with old cards, which being finer and
softer, are moro agreeable to the animal,
and improve the fncness of the hair
This receives an additional lustre by be-
ing rubbed with old flannel. They actu-
ally shine; and the gentle creatures have
an evident consciousness of their beauty,
for they are careful not to soil their ashy
gray and chestnut robes by lying in the
mud when allowed to take a walk.
Animals can acquire, if they have not
by nature, fine sensibility ofcleanliness,
and learn to take care of themselves
Not only do they exercise this care for
the person of the animal, but are at the
pains of removing every feather and un-
palatable substance from their food and
and the water troughs where they drinl;
as if human beings resorted to them. II
anybody doubts the efficiency of these
means let him come and see not only
how large, but how intelligent these ami
mails look how they watch every motion
of those who talk to them, and listen to
all they say. What an affectionate moan
they will utter to welcome the mixers
who are are always men, as they say
women tickle the COW, and never takei
all the milk from the udders, so that they
give less and less 1t is said of then
that the Argovian will send for the doc
tor for his COW great deal quicker thar
for his wife; but we did not see any evi
dence that he was not sufficiently atten
tive to both.--MsS Johnson's Cottage

This Convention met at Detroit, Oh
Wednesday, March 5th-H. II. Rice, o
st. Joseph, President, Among the reso
lutiops adopted are the following:
Resolved, That political Abolitionism
is as Justly chargeable with this war as
Secessionism ; and that we hope for the
speedy extinguishment of both, for re-
turn of peace. and the restoration of the
old cordial and friendly union Of the
States.
Resolved, That in no emergency should
we forget our duty to our common coun.
try : that our object should be to uphold
and support the general Government, and
the rights Of States under the Constitu
tiln, and not to wage war with a view o
sectional revenge, or for sectional purpo
ses.
Resolved, That the Union can never be
restored to its full measure of peace and
prosperity without the hearty aid and CO.
operation of all Union men at the South,
and it is therefore, the duty Of the North,
by its example and teachings. and in ev-
cry praCllcal mOuc, 10 strengthen lllcll
arms, to encourage and fire their patriot
ism, and graduly cultivate and raise NJ
in their midst such sentiments of love
and devotion to the Union, as shall ev.
erywhcre shame treason back into its hi.
ding place, and compel traitors to flee
from the public sight.
Resolpel, That we hail with unfeigned
delight the modification of Fremont's
proclamation and Cameron's report, and
and the appointment of the present Sec
retary of War by the President, as indi-
cations of his sense Of obligations to con
stitutional injunctions; and that we will
cheerfully support him in all constitution
al measure to restore the Union and pre-
serve the Government.

but he must live; the words of the white
chief must be carried to the great chief,
and my young brave must do it. AS
for Kenen ho must show them dogs Of
Mohawks how a warrior can die"
| saw that there was nothing for it
but to obey, for the dispatches were OF
the utmost importance, so | allowed the
brave old chief to have his own way
My plan was that | should go down to
the banks Of the stream, and in the
shadows of the overhanging trees to
dive under the surface getting as far down
the stream as could, by this means
would get q good start, and there could
be but little danger of their overtaking
me before | had reached some of our
outposts.
/ followed his directions / got off
safely, and delivered the letter to the
proper quarter. My first impulse was to
procure few conn AIDES and proceed to
the spot where | left Kenen. We found
his mangled remains laying where he
had fallen. We made him grave
and ont of respect to the old warrior, |
rolled him in my own blanket, laid my
rifle and hunting knife by his side, so
that he might not go empty handed to
the happy hunting ground. l know it
was foolish idea; but | was confident
that if the brave War Eagle could have
known what | did, it would have been a
source of comfort to him in his dying
hour. We then started in pursuit of the
Mohawks, who were encountered by their
wounded, we soon overlook them and
amply avenged the death of Kenen.
Years rolled on, and began to feel
their presence bearing me down toward
my parent earth; and / thought that /
would like to see the grave of the old
warrior once more before | died With
that intent l made a pilgrimage to the
sacred spot last summer. Blu; what a
change had taken place, the entire forest
had been cleared away, and with it the
great pine that marked his grave. In
stead of the stiffness of the Wilderness
brooding over his last resting place. |
found the site occupied by large thriving
city; and its largest and narrowest streets
past over one who was
"Thc bravest of the brave''
With saddened heart and fearful eyes
| left the spot, seeing and feeling the
mutability Of human nature, yet rejoice
ing in the prospect Of lie where change
can never come.

Of rebels. That they may do withou
assaliing any principle Of the Constitu
ton, and surely they would be mucl
stronger IN that ground than on nm,
other Why, then, should they abandon
the Constitution and place themselves oi
revolutionary ground? Why not &c
with cordiality with those who are stii
wing TO maintain the Constitution os its
aud, that being accomplished, seek th
contamination Of their ends by means o
confscation under its authority,
They may rest assured that their object
1t attainable at all, can be more easil,
attained in this mode than By any reyo
lutionary proceedings.
The time for considering how far it i.
the interest Of the country to carry tho
punishment Of treason by confiscation o.
death has not arrived. When it doe,
arrive, the question will doubtless b,
decided, not SO much by the guilt Of th,
traitors as by the interests Of the loya
citizens of the Republic.
Not all the wealth and all the blood
Of the leading rebels can attone for a
thousandth part Of the destruction of life
and property, the sickness, priyation and
misery which their prohigate ambition
has brought upon their country. Lives
Of infamy may be severer punishment
for them than the bullet OF halter. What
shall be done with them or ihair property
will necessarily become a sub Jet of con-
sidcration when the rebel ion has been
put down and the government shall thus
have acquired the power to punish.
The North was never more united than
1t IS now in the determination to suppress
the rebellion, at whatever cost Of treas
urc or Of blood. They look upon it as
essential to their future peace and safety,
and the only means by which the nation
can recover the lost respect of foreign
powers, to maintain and recommend re-
publican institutions, and resume the
career Of peaceful progress which made
our country the wonder and admiration
of the world. Let no revolutionary
spirit in the North intervene to siren. then
rebellion or Faralyze patriotism, but let
us, with one voice, sustain the Constitu-
tion as IL is; under its authority punish
traitors as we list; and, when peace is
restored, amend it if it needs amendment.
| am little disposed to enter upon 4
general discussion Of the slavery question,
but / propose in another letter to touch
upon one branch of it which more than
any other makes it a dangerous one.

i Isif OF Romance.

A correspondent Of the Salem Gazette,
writing from Beverly, concerning the shoe
business and shops where girls are em-
ployed, says:
There is n yonng lady in one of the
shops whose history would well illustrate
the idea that truth is stranger than fc-
ion" She is a foreigner by birth, hay
ing been in this country only few years.
She moved in high circles in her early
life, and waltzed and fiirted with some of
the Royal Family. She left her castle
house with false impressions, and learned
when too late, that she was regarded as
dependant on, if not the menial of one
by whom her confidence was betrayed
Though unused to life of self-depend
ence, and to labor, she preferred to be tn
'architect of her own fortune" thougl
toll might await her. She was well cd
ucated in hor native land, and in addition
to her native tongue, she speaks fuentl
the Norwegian, Swedish, Danish an
English languages--the latter the leas
so-and has some knowledge of tn
French. Her letters from home are writ
ten in some three or four of the Ian
guages, to which she replies with eas,
and facility. Unassuming as she is, yer,
few know of her attainments, while sh
seems content to remain for the presen
in the humble position in which her sac
reverses have plunged her.

More of the Doctrine

1t is said that a petition to the Legis-
lature is being signed by prisoners in the
Ohio Penitentiary asking the adoption
of such laws as will modify or abolish
the institution of property The petit
TONERS claim that the property of the
country is unequally and unjustly dis
tributed, and that the legal protection
given to crafty and avaricous men in set
ting up an exclusive right to a greater
share Of the wealth of the country than
is needful to their wants, operates unjustly
on those who are equally laborious but
less thrifty. To the unequal distribution
of wealth they ascribe the prevalence OF
theft; and they allege as their solemn
conviction that stealing will never cease
until the laws are modified and property
is 'cmancipatcd,' Regarding it as the
cause of their present difficulties, they ask

The KIND 81 wen Fremoul HANG.

1t has already been announced that Gen. Fre-
mont has approved the verdict Of the Court
Martial sentencing to be hung two secession
Inarrauders, Henry Kuhl and Hamilton W. Win
don, for the murder of a young man, not sol-
der. attached to one Of our camps in Braxton
CO., Va The Kanawha Republican says:
Their victim had been working for farmer
for a few weeks, and was on his return to camp,
and on his way stopped at Kuhls house to rest.
Mrs. Kuhl went to the meadow, where her hus-
band and son and Windon were moving, and
told them thai Union soldier was at the house.
The murdered man was not a soldier. The ell
der Kuhl told her to GO back and tell the soldier
to eame out TO the field to them. In the mean
time his murder was decided upon by Knhl and
Windon, the young Kuhl not eonsenting.
When the young man came out TO the mead.
ow, the old man Kuhl approached Him, scytht
iA hand and with single blow severed hii
, head. from his body. He aud Windon then rip
ped open his bowels, and thrust in the head and
then threw the body into ditch and covered
1t up. This is the substance Of the old mans
confession, as to the murder. When esLed by
the Provost Marshal what induced him to MUIR
der the young man, he replied: do not know;
! suppose the devil made me do H."
The day Of execution was fixed for the 9th Of
May and,we doubt not, was carried into effect
s. They were hung.
