SharpshOOters at Ant5etam.

We find the following in the Toledo
Commercial, by one who was at Antietam :
The uniform worn by the Federal Off
GERS renders the wearer, even when afoot,
conspicuous at long rifle range; and the
loss of more than half the officers of KIM
balls brigade that went into the battle of
Antietam, shows that the enemy's sharp
shooters made use of this fact to pick them
off. Just before the 9TH Virginia volun-
teers reached the crest of the mill behind
which the enemy were lying in force, Maj.
Lockwood, commanding, was struck on the
side by an Enfield rifle ball, and was saved
by his canteen, upon which the ball struck
obliquely and glanced Off Soon after an
other passed between his horses ears and
struck his saddle. The Adjntant General
of the brigade, riding up with orders soon
after, made a sudden jerk OF his head
backwards, a bullet brushed his NOUS
tache, and carried away a part of his
shoulder strap. All these balls came from
an elevation, and with such force as to pre-
clude the idea of their being "spent." An
observation with glass discovered
"butternut " in the top of large locust
tree, quietly loading an Enfield. The Ma
jor called out from the ranks lad not
more than eighteen years old, and said:
edo you see that Butternut in that
tree?"
Yes, sir, said the lad.
"Can you reach him ?"
"Not with this thing" contemptuously
humping the ground with his Austrian
rifle could with an Enfield"
"Get one and try it,"
The lad started for an adjoining regi-
ment that was armed with Enields, and
soon returned with the gun and ammuni-
ton of dead comrade Choosing place
at the fence near by, he loaded the piece
carefully; and, drawing bead across rail,
fred and missed.
"Try him again." said the Major, as
curl of smoke in the tree told that the shot
had been thrown away. At the same mo-
ment ball from the Butternut's" gun
grazed the horse of the Adjutant General,
and striking his foot, disabled him so that
he came to the ground at the first bound of
his horse. The lad again loaded and fired
and the dead body of the rebel came to
the ground, and was afterwards ascertained
to have been shot through the heart.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN If THE REBELS
BECOME INDEPENDENT.

The London Daily Ne,cs draws this
picture of the character of the South and
the probable consequences which would
follow its achievement
As far as England is concerned, we may
Judge from the past. Many people say, in
excuse for their state of mind about the
war, that they detest the Americans.
Very well and what does this mean? 1t
means an association Of ideas made up of
troubles about search of slaves at sea, and
brag about the Monroe doctrine, and
threats of Canada, and ISLANDERS about our
cruisers in the Gulf, and outrage ON San
Juan, and the bullying Ofthe General Har-
neys, and the sharp practice Of cabinets at
Washington, and aggressions upon our
seamen in port, and universal rudeness to
our representatives in the states, and to
our government through American repre-
sentatives in England. All this with inn
pressions of filibustering, threats about
Cuba, an unrepressed clandestine slave
trade, lynch law, marauding in Kan
sas, brag about liberty together with
tar and feathers, cow-hiding, slave mar
kets, human stock breeding, and all the
rest of it-these impressions combine to
make up the sentiment expressed by the
avowal, 81 detest the Americans But
for every element of this impression con
federate society is answerable. 1t was tht

A Beauty of BOrneO.

Mr.. SPENCER ST.. JOHN thus describes the
daughter of one of the Datus of Borneo
She was the loveliest girl in Borneo. I
have never seen native surpass her in
figure, or equal her in gentle expression of
countenance. She appeared but sixteen
years of age, and as she stood near, lean
ing against the door-post in the most grace
full attitude, We had perfect view of all
her PROJECTIONS. Her dress was slight in
deed, consisting of nothing but short
petticOat reaching from her waist to little
above her knees. Her skin was Of that
clear brown which is almost the perfection
OF color in sunny cline; and, as she was
just returning from bathing, her hair, I'M
bound, fell in great luxuriance over her
shoulders. Her eyes were black, not flash
ing, but rather contemplative, and her
features were regular-even her nose was
straight. So intent was she in watching
our movements, and wondering at our
novel mode of eating with spoons and
knives and forks, that she unconsciOusly
remained in her graceful attitude for some
time; but, suddenly recollecting that she
was not appearing to the best advantage in
her light costume, she moved away slowly
to her room, and presently came forth
dressed in silk jacket and a new petit
coat, with bead necklaces and gold orna-
ments. In our eyes she did not look so
interesting as before. e.

Defeat Of the Republicans In New
York.

From the Cincinnati Commercial, Republican.
THuRLow WEED, in an article in the
Albany Ecening Journal, on the defeat
of the Republicans in the State of New
York, says:
Although unquestionably induced by an
earnest desire to give emphasis to an important
principle, the nomination, by the Republican I'm
ion Contention, Of gentleman, Of conceded GAL
l1atsy, patriotism and personal wOrth, but of es-
IRENE party rieacs acOs q fatal error; and none
the less fatal because the example had been set
by the Democratic .party. That example was
not relished by all ordinarily in sympathy with
that party; and if advantage had been taken of
this feeling, and ticket presented-no more
patriotic, for that could not be, abut-less dis
tinctly partisan, the result of last year would
have been repeated, with greatly increased en-
phasis and significance. But the Syracuse Con-
vention, so far from taking advantage of the
popular desire, disregarded it, and compelled
party contest, when the position of the coun-
try, the necessities and embarrissments of the
Administration, and the suggestions of prll-
dencc and patriotism, all decided different
policy.
This is clearly the truth. If the Re-
publican party managers Of New York,
had possessed the sound judgment to nom
mate Gen. Dix for Governor, there is
abundant reason to believe he would have
been triumphantly elected. But they
! could not be satisfied with a triumph OF
vital principles, they must have party
Z triumph, and in seeking to secure it, they
4 have suffered defeat The same result
was obtained here in the same way. The
( Republican prtisaps professedly ignored
3 the old party lines, but practically, they
made q strict party fight, and threw away
their opportunity.

NEWS OF OUR OWN STATE.
From the Winona Republican.

From the N1nona republican.
RAILRoAD.-The work goes bravely on
with the Winona and St. Peter railroad.
The grading from here to Stockton is near
ly all leveled up, and the men are now
rushing forward the laying of ties and
iron. The track is laid out as far as Mr..
Denman's, and the company have iron
enough on hand here to reach beyond Min
nesota City. The balance is arriving daily
from Lacrosse. We are indebted to Mr..
w. G. Van Buskirk, the engineer of tho
locomotive Tiger, for a ride at regular rail-
road speed out two miles Let it be re-
corded that he is the first engineer on the
Winona and st. Peter railroad, and a very
accommodating gentleman at that. May
we have the pleasure OF Watering his II
ger from the Minnesota river, and that
within few years.
THE threatened difficulties between the
railroad company and a number of land
owners along the line, in Minnesota City,
broke ont into open rebellion on Saturday
morning. The owners in question assem-
bled near Eaton's, ana refused to permit
the workmen to proceed further until the
company would settle for the right of way.
A skirmish with spades, shOvels, and other
warlike Instruments, ensued, in which it is
claimed that the railroad men came out
victorious. No great quantity of blood
was shed.
SAD ACcIDENT.-It becomes our painful
duty to again record one of those accidents
which have been of frequent occurrence.
A little child of Jeremiah Gainey, of the
town of Elba, aged years, was burned to
death on Thursday last, while playing
around stove. The childs parents were
absent at the time the fire caught. When
the mother returned she found the little
sufferer enveloped in flames, which she
speedily extinguished, but too late to save
the little ones life. He died within four
hours after the painful accident.
New WAREHOUsEs.-Mr.J j. Il. WERsT
has commenced the erection of grain
warehouse at the lower end of the levee,
which is to be 140 feet deep by 20 feet in
width, a capacity for storage Of 10000
bushels. He will be prepared to purchase
or receive grain on storage after the close
of navigation. S. G. WHITE, pioneer in
the grain business of this place, is having
a large and commodious warehouse erected
on the corner of Lafayette and Front
streets, which will be ready for the win
ter's business.
Corn AND OATS FOR GEN. PoPE-Four
hundred tons of corn lately arrived at
Dunleith from Chicago, en- route for St.
Paul, to fill Government contract. Also
large quantity Of oats. The Chippewa,
loaded with oats, left for st. Paul on
Thursday. The Pomeroy will follow with
q similior freight. The Pearl, with two
barges, left on Thursday night, loaded with
two hundred tons of corn for Government.
Also fifty tons of miscellaneous merchan-
disc. The Jeanette Roberts was loading
on Friday with corn for st. Paul

Arm BROKEN.-We regret to learn that
Mr.. A. H. Clifford, formerly of this city,
but for some time past the accommodating

badly broken by the upsetting of one of
Burbank's coaches near St. Peter a few
days ago.
