WORTHY CITIZs sN ELoPRS WITH LEADING
FEMALE MEMBER OF THE CHJKCH.-Mat alters have
been rather lively In the little village of Decatu:
lately. Following In the wake OF the late trial
and acquittal Of DR.. Baker, charged with COM
mitting a rape, that usually quiet village was
elopement of a Mr.. Patterson, a wealthy resident,
with q Mrs Dennis, one of the leading mem bers
Of the Presbyterian Church In that place. The
guilty pair came 10 this place Dy carriage, ard
then fl d 10 parts unknown. Dennis was absent
at the time. When he came home and learned
OF the infdelitY of her whom he supposed to be a
paragon of virtue and piety, he became nearly
insane. He has since left for New York, his
former home, broken and ruined man.-KaIa-

A NOBLE SoN or NOBLE SIRE.-We printed
Yesterday morning a communication, describing
the sff1rts Of Commodore Joseph Smith to hurry
forward and assist in the work upon the Monitor.
The son of this veteran officer was In command of
the copgress and lost his life on that fatal Sat
urday.
when the elder Smith saw by the first dispatch
from Fortress Monroe that the Congress had raised
the while iag, he only remarked quietly "Joe's
dead ;" ' 3.
No Roman father ever paid nobler or more
emphatic tribute Of confidence to a gallant son,
than is contained in the words so uttered, nor
ever gave that to his country with more cheer
ful and entire devotion. And the sad assurance
was well founded. Tn flag was not struck Gntil
his son had fallen.-BoStOH AirsTtissr.

A1e-"7 The Hog Eye"

One night Abe Lincoln had dream,
1t was mighty dron 'un-
He thought he saw Potomac's stream
With big black niggers rollin.
Chorus-Row boat ashore, de hog eye
Row boat ashore de hog eye.
Row boat ashore! dc hog eye
Hurrah for Abrams hog eye
Old Abram gladden'd at the sight.
And in. his bunk he chuckled;
He thought he'd got, without tigAt,
That for which be truckled.
Chorus-Row a boat, sc.
six million niggers fioated on,
Aud Lincoln was their master,
And cotton bales they sat upon,
So he chuckled fast and faster.
Chorus-Row a boat &c.
The soul of Abram joy'd and glee'd.
And he grinn'd like any 'possum,
To see the abolition seed
Had come to such bosom.
Chorus-Row boat, SC.
When 10! appears monster feet,
Right up the river steaning,
And from the masts so tall ana straight
The-"Stars and Bars" Were streaming
.Chorns-Row boat, &c.
lie saw the niggers' faces light,
With JOY to see their masters.
They knew and feared, with all their
might
Great Liberty's' disasters.
Chorus-Row boat, &c.
And as, with hop and skip and jump,
They crowded on the vessels,
Abe's heart went down with dolefu
tbump
And all his airy castles.
Chorus-Row q boat, sc,
He saw them vanish from his sight.
AS also did the cotton;
And on his heart there fell q blight.
AS if his hopes We're rotten.
Chorus-Row boat, &c.
The ships with cotton bales were heape'
And slaves from stem to stern
So from his bunk in rage he lcaped,
And "cussed'' the whole concern.
Chorus-Row boat, Sc.
His aims So grand, his views SO high,
Plans laid with such precision;
All blasted by his old hog eye,
That showed him such vision!

POLITIcAL rrArTERs.

We devote a considerable portion OF to-
days paper 10 matters Of q political char
acter. The resolutions of the late Demo.
cratic Convention Of Rhode Island will be
found OH our first page, and we think the
Democracy of that glorious little State have
put forth a model platform, upon which the
great Uuion party of the country can rally.
The resolutions are uDambiguous, ,conserva-
tive, yet firm and deciled, and applicable to
the times. They declare in favor of sus-
tanning the Administration in carrying on
the war for the maintenance of the Union,
and tell the people of the rebellious States
that they can enjoy all their constitutional
rights whenever they return to their allegi-
ance, bu. that so long as they are in arms
against their country they must be treated
as public enemies, aud that at all hazards,
and at whatever sacrifice of blood and trea.
sure, the integrity Of the Republic must be
preserved. The resolutions can be objec-
tionable to only two elasses-the abolition
lists who favor the war only as means OF
aboIishing slavery, and that still larger
class who are fighting for the disruption of
the natiou, aud their aiders and abetters.
The letter OF Mr.. Conness, alluded to in
The San Francisco dispatch in out Satur-
days issue. is published in another column.
It relates more particularly to matters of
party policy in this State, aud we doubt not
will be approved by The Union Democracy.
Had an honest effort been made to organ
ize distinctive Uuion party in the State.
Mr.. Conness would not have opposed II;
but the call Of the Republican State Com
mittee, being mere dodge TO head off the
movement of the Legislative caucus presi
ded over by Senator Van Dyke, aud to add
to their party strength, the only course lett
for the UaiOn Democracy is to preserve
their organization intact.

How Tury WENT AT THEIR WORK.

How They WENT AT THEIR WORK.
A correspondent mentions the following in
connection with the second days fight at
Pittsburg Landing:
The regiments Of Buell's division were still
disembarking at the Landing. Many had taken
their places the rest hurried on out as fast as
they landed and fell in to the rear of their brig
ade lines, for reserves. l stood for few mo-
ments at the Landing, curious to see how these
fine fellows would march out to the field where
they knew reverses had crowded so thickly up
on us the day before, and where many of them
must lie down to sleephis last sleep ere the sun,
then rising, should sink again. There was lit
tie of that vulgar vanity Of valOr which was so
conspicuous in all the movements Of our rawer
troops eight or nine months ago. There was
no noisy and senseless yelling, no shouts or
boasts, no calling on lockers on to "show us
where the cowardly Secesh Is and we'll clean
'em out double quick" These men understood
the work before them. They went to II as brave
men should, determinedy, hopefully, and
calmly.

a portion of bis forces across stream in
front of the enemy, without the means al
hand of crossing a sufficient force to sup
port the advance. His army was encamped
for several days between the Pamunky and
0hiokahOminy, and II is reasonable to con-
ciude that good portion Of that time was
occupied Ia providing means for crossing
tbe latterstream. Mcclellan may possibly
be outgeneraled by the rebel commanders,
bat we have no fears OF his committing such
gross blunder "a resulted in the disaster
at Balls Bluff.
