A Story Concerning Foreign Mediation.

A Story Concerning Foreign Mediation.
TIE pertinaoity with which English and
French newspapers insist on mediation in our
national difficulties reminds us of little story:
Some time after the Revolutionary war
there lived in the town Of Natick clever ne
gro, who had figured with advantage to him
selfin the Revolutionary war. The three cor
nered hat, long blue coat buff vest, and leath-
er breeches Of old Boston-or Bosom, as he
was Familiarity called by the childreu-often
formed a theme Of wondering admiration on
holidays.
Boston was native African, fine looking
tall straight, and black as ebony, with great
courtliness of manner, with ready bows, and
a smile displaying a row Of ivory which did
credit to the land of palms.
By decision Of the Judges slavery was
declared to be at an end in Massachusetts, by
the simple Bill Of Rights, which asserted free
dom from the dominion of Great Britain.
As no distinct public proclamation of this
fact was known, Boston continued to serve
his master without wages for four years; but
at The expiration of that time his eyes were
anointed as the eyes Of many of his brethren
in Virginia are beginning to be, and lie de-
mandcd wages for the four years. His master
refused them, and Boston entered suit for the
money.
The propriety of the courts, was as much
shocked at this unnatural contention, as the
propriety Of foreign journals is at this day at
some other disputes. So they offered media
ton between the parties.
Whereupon the Judge advised Boston and
his master to retire to a private room, and TO
come to some mutual understanding. Both
retired and remained awhile in consultation,
after which Boston re-appeared in court, bow
ing with great poEreness, and exhibiting his
rows of ivory.
"Wol, Boston, how Is il? Have you and
your master come to an agreement
"Yes, massa and be greed"
Well, Boston, what IS it?7
Well, massa, he greed he Glib me hun
dred dollars and gree I 'front.' take it,
Such was the result Of mediationl Such,
probably, would be the result Of any media
ton between the parties contending in this
country. For orinstance, which party is to have

sDseOb by q Fighting Democrat.

PATRICK MCGRoARTT, Esq, Of this city,
made war speech at Springfield, Ohio, on
Saturday Mr.. MeGroarty said He was
an old line Democrat. Asa Democrat he had
come to Springfield, to appeal to men to go
to war in order to put down rebellion He
would not discuss whether Fire Eaters or
Abolitionists brot on the war Rehels were
in arms against the Government Let us put
down rebellion, and then settle political ques-
tons about it. 1t did not make any differ
euce whether Joshua Giddings or JEFF Davis
got up the rebellion. There it is-we see
who is in it, and We must put it down He
appealed to the old Democrats. He would
ask them: Are you going to see the Consti-
tuition upset and the Union dissolved, because
you think somebody up in Ashiabula county
may 60 to Congress? Ifso, youare Just as big
a traitor as JEFF Davis. Are you not going
to war because you think Lincoln may have
violated the Constitution? Who made you
the Judge /? He was elected properly under
Constitution. I didn't vote for him,-I
wouldn't vote for him now, but 1 am for put
Gng down the rebellion. Now this is the
fact. Anybody who won't go to war for the
reason I suggest is afraid TO risk it, Or he is
traitor All such are either towards or trait
ors. That's the whole Of it. Is there any
man that can put his finger on any injury
done to the rights of the South? Net one,
not even a STAKEHOLDER, We old line Demo
Gratis were always determined to maintain
the rights of the South. We gave them
more than they were entitled to. Now,
then, Why is this rebellion? Not because
Lincoln was elected, nor because Breckinridge
wasn't, or Douglas wasn't. Not bit Of it.
It has been working for thirty years! But
are twenty millions Of people to be whipped
by six? We must have more troops. We
can't let this war go on one or two years.
Men must come out to stop it. If they don't

The following is from the Philadelphia Dul-
letin About the nearest representative to
the ideal American whom we can name is
Maj Gen. Benz F. Butler. It Is tradition
that no man on earth 50 easily falls into new
position or profession as an American and that
no one can so easily teach school, peddIe no.
tons work farm, run mill, invent a pat
ent, edit a newspaper, become a clergyman,
or make a political speech. In this peculiar
tact at managing novel things: Gen. Butler
is perfect Alcbiades, with far more steadi-
ness and grit than the elegant Athenian, and
he seems to become more thoroughly apprcci-
ated every day. No one had a shadow Of an
idea how to deal with the negroes creeping
into our lines, until General Butler made his
famous "contraband' decision at Fortress
Monroe; while he managed his troops adnIi-
rably when Baltimore was rioting in April,
1861, and the great need Of the nation was
volunteers to save the capital.
Since he hes been at New Orleans he has
proved his tact in a thousand ways, in the face
of dangers and difficulties which would have
deferred almost any military man. No one
knows better when to be severe than be, and
yet we have to hear the first complaint against
him on the score Of injustice. He is never to
be caught asleep by the traitor, the most Esci-
mating female rebel or the most hypocritical
foreign diplomat. He does not temporize an
hour with lying politician who refuses to
become loyal, municipal legislature which
has not truth enough in it to keep it from rot
tenness. Thugs and thieves he lays a heavy
but equitable hand upon, without fear and he
shows a benevolence towards the starving
poor Of which the annals of war have few
parallels. Even his famous ''woman order, ="
which brought crocodile tears to the eyes Of
John Bull, seems to have accomplished its pur-
pose without a single respectable female hay
ing been insnlted while no one who has ever
encountered the foul language of a rebel fe-
male will acknowledge that any thing less
severe would have impressed those creatures
IN a salutary manner.

rudeness bordering on ferocity. One day
as he sat at dinner the door swung open OF
ITSELF and a beautiful white cat entered the
room, approached Ashland, puring and seek
ing by her actions to win his caresses but
the rude farmer spurned her from him with
his foot. She was not, however, to be re-
pulsed; but continued to solicit his attention.
From that time forward the cat never left the
presence of Ashland, but followed him every
where, to the field, to ride, to the stable, to
the dining-loom. This singular conduct Of
the animal attracted the attention first Of the
female domestics, and then Of the whole vii
lage. so that in q short time nothing else was
talked about It was the universal opinion
that she was witch, and many limited that
it was Fanny Heathcote, who had taken that
shane to persecute her faithless lover. Ash
land, however, was warned against using vio-
Ience, because it was predicted that ill-luck
would follow him in case he should permit his
passion to get the better of his prudence.
Tom, we have seen, was fellow who little
liked advice, and the conduct Of the cat at
length became so insupportable, that one Fri
day he resolved to shoot her.
As he took down his gun for that purpose,
the cat moaned so piteously, and looked up
in his face with 50 human an expression, that
he half relented. Hang yer said Tom,
menaoing her with his foot; "begonel or
stay here and have charge of bnckshot in
your confounded stubborn head, ye imp Of
satan" The cat stepped toward the door,
then returned and lay down on the hearth-rug
at full length. Tom leveled his piece ard
fred, piercing shrek rang through theroom,
and the animal rolled on the floor in mortal
agony. Atthat instant the clock struck twelve.
Not long after the door burst open, and in
rushed the old aunt of Fanny Heathcote,
breathless with exertion, and exclaiming-
" You have killed her, you foul thief Ny
pretty Fanny is breathing her lastl"
Tom Ashland waited Tor no more bare
headed he few from the house, and took the
well known path to Fanny's cottage He
few to her bedside and found her writhing
in agony, with the blood streaming from sew
ersl wounds in her head. The pallor and con-
vulsions of death were already upon her. but
she took the hand Of Ashland, Forgive and
forget as DO; let me have a christian burial,
and expired. Her last wishes were attended
TO; but to secure her person in the grave, she |
was laid with her face downward, and horse
shoe nailed upon the cohin-lid. Ashland sur
vived her but few months, during which
he moped about his house. rarely taking food,
and incessantly muttering Strange phrases to
himself He was buried by the side of Fanny,
and plain slab ofstone, without any insorip-
ton, marks the place Of their repose.

Wasn't Posted,

A CAPITAL story is told ofan old farmer in
the northern part of this county, who had been
saving up" to take up a mortgal Of $4,000,
held against HIM by a man nearer the sea-
shore. The farmer had saved up all the money
in gold, fearing to trust the banks in these
war times. Week before last, he Iugged down
his gold and paid it over, when the folloquy
ensued:
"Why, you don't mean to give this $1,000
in gold, do you?' said the lender.
AYES, certainly, said the farmer. "I was
afraid Of the pesky banks, and 50 I've been
saving up the money in yellow boys for you
this long time"
An right," responded the lender, only
thought you didn't take the papers, that's all. !"
Take the papersl No, sir; notL. They
have gone on so since the wars been agoing
that I won't have one of the dish things
about But the money is all right, isn't it?"
Yes, all right, $4,000 in gold. All right;
here's your note and mortgage"
And well might he have called it all right,
as the premium on gold that day was % per
cent, and his gold was not only worth the
face of his bond, but S44O besides, enough to
have paid for his village newspaper for him
self and posterity for at least three centuries,
It pays to take the wspapers.-Nor7galk

An Incident of the War in the Shenandoah

U
Valley. -
AWAY down in the sunny South, where
Shenandoah rolls her dark waters, IN a noob
of the Blue Ridge, is nestled a little village
known as Mlllwood.
Near this pretty village are the residences
Of some Of the best families of the Old Domin-
ion, vino emigrated to that beautiful part o.
the State from further east before the great
Indian War, when Washington, then a youth
full Aid to Braddock. fed through the Ale
ghanies, after Braddock's defeat to Winches-
ter.
These families and their descendants have
lived there ever since, and live there still, ex-
cept a few, more adventurous than the rest,
who have sought homes in the West, some in
our own and other cities of Illinois, Mill
wood is fifteen miles east Of Winchester. It
was the home of maiden, who, though boast
ing descent from an old and great family,
chose, when left an orphan, to earn an indie
pendent support with an education acquired
in former days, to becoming dependent in
the families of any OF her rich relatives. We
viii call her Mary Carten. She was the
principal of the village school.
To Enfield, the elegant residence Of a near
relative Mary often came to spend her Sat
urdays and Sundays Here she met the pri-
vate tutor in the family of Mr.. Herbert-a
young gentleman, a graduate OF Yate College.
Edwin Newton was his name. He was a ma
tive Of Dedham, Mass.
Being Of kindred professions and congenial
minds, friendship sprang up between them
which ripened into love. They were betroth-
ed. Soon the country was disturbed with the
cry of dissatisfaction. Secession became the
order Of the day. Northern men left the
South, but Edwin Newton fingered still Vir-
ginia seeded Mary Cary Carten, a young
lady Of strong mind, sympathized very deep
y with the South, while heE.lover felt equal
y sympathetic with the government This
caused a eoolness on the part of the Young
southern lady, and although almost heart
broken, she parted with her northern lover
to meet no more while he felt toward the
Cohiederacy as he did. Edwin returned to
his native State, yet would not for many
months consen to take up arms against the
South.
