PROMPT PUNISHMENT OF A DELINQUENT
One who was present gives the following par
ticulars of a scene at the war department,
which has been alluded to by telegraph -
Secretary Stanton was transacting business
with various parties in his usual rapid, vigor-
GUS style, when surgeon entered, and giving
his name, said: II understand that some
charges have been entered against me-"
Mr.. Stanton, Selecting document from a
pile on his table, )-"Yes, sir. You are here
charged with shamefully neglecting detach-
nlent of sick and wounded soldiers sent to this
city under your care. Are the facts stated
in this paper true?"
Surgeon, (reading, PARITY so, sir. The
time Of my arrival is incorrectly stated"
Stanton-"Is it true that on your arrival
you went to a hotel and got your supper,
leaving the wounded men in the cars ?"
Surgeon-'It is, sir"
Stanton-"And that you afterwards went to
bed at the hotel, leaving the soldiers yet UNI
cared for in the cars2"
Surgeon-"It is, sir"
Stanton-''Then, sir, you are dismissed

Horrible Cruelty to n Slave GirI-PrOmp nj
Punishment OF her Master


Soon after the arrival of the United States
forces, they received information that arms
and tents were concealed in the house of one
VIM. L. Hunter, who had sworn he would
shoot any damned Yankee who should enter
his house to look for them. An officer, was
sent to search for them. To his agreeable
surprise, he was cordially received by the
owner of the house, who informed the officer
that it was true he had arms-a double bar
relied gun, an old uniform or two that be-
longed to his son, and a small tent, which had
escaped the wreck of camp Lewis, which was
pitched in his garden as a play house for his
children, and that he had no other thing in his
house. The officer beng satisfied with this
frank avowal, said he would not disturb the
tent, children, uniforms, or gun Thereupon
the proprietor politely invited him to take a
drink.
The next day Hunter proclaimed on change
that he had large quantity of tents in his
garnet; that the Union officers did not get
them; that he could buy the officer with a
drink, and that he could buy the whole set
with drinks, from the commanding officer
down. This speech induced another examin-
alton, which resulted in the finding of Mai
Gen. Lewiss marquee, thirteen tents, and
more furniture in Mr.. Hunters attic, and
some pistols and two dirks in Mrs Hunters
keeping. This ladys nerves were too sensi-
tive to accompany the officer in the search,
and she directed negro woman to show the
officer through the house. Upon removing
the contraband articles to the railroad station
Mrs. Hunter followed, and informed the off
Ger that the negro girl had left the house, and
was intending to go away. The officer said
that could not be permitted, and sent Il corpo-
raj to conduct both wOmen-white and black
to their house, and assured Mrs. Hunter
that the girl had expressed no intention of
leaving her mistress
Fearing, however, lest the servants should
be suspected of having given information, the
officer assured the lady that no information
had been received from the servants, and they
ought not to be punished. But the moment
the officer retired the girl was locked up to
await the return of her master. When Mr..
Hunter returned and ascertained what had oc-
cured, he demanded of his wife ''why she
had not shot the id Yankees" She retort-
ed ''They took away my arms" Upon this,
Hunter went to the closet and took from it a
heavy riding-whip, and beat the servant over
the head in such manner as to cause heavy
punches. He then took her down into the
back yard, chained her feet to block, the
mistress, who claims to be one of the ladies of
New Orleans, fastening the shackles to the
block. The husband and wife then threw the
servant down upon her back, fastened her
hands to the feet of another servant, who was
forced to hold the girl out to her full length.
The suspected girl was then subjected to
head-shaying; her clothes were next removed,
and the gentleman, Mr.. Hunter, beat the ex-
hausted creature with the horsewhip until he

GOLDEN WEDDING IN FRANKLIN.-A some
what remarkable golden wedding was ceIebrat-
ed in Franklin, Mass, on the 18th inst If
was that of Mr.. and Mrs Jason Fisher.
They were married by the venerable DIR. EN-
mons, and the only surviving witness of the
ceremony is the daughter of that noted divine,
the wife Of DR.. Ide of Midway. The interest
ing occasion was honored by her presence.
MIR. Fisher was born in the house which he
has occupied since his marriage, so years ago.
His birth occurred seventy-five years ago, and
yet ne never lived in any other dwelling, and
the old house has undergone no change
by way of remodeling. The rooms are now
as they were then. Mr.. Fisher has been sex
ton OF the town for thirty years, and there are
few families into which he has not been in the
hour of sorrow. Mrs. Fisher took class in
the sabbath school when it was first formed,
and has continued therein without Interrupt
tion to the present time.
Many of those present at her golden we'd
ding had been her scholars. Useful articles
as presents were laid upon their table, and
purse OF shining gold was made up for the
aged couple.-Boston TYogeller.

MORE TROOPS.

1t seems, at this distance from the scene of
operations. that if the government had ac-
cepted the volunteer militia for three months,
at the time when it was so freely offered, it
would have been better for the service. 1t |
might then have set on foot the new regiments |
of volunteers required for the war, which,
with a definite object before them, would have
been completed before the limited term of the
militia expired. But, undoubtedly for wise
reasons, the president and his advisers chose
rather to call for troops for the war at once,
avoiding the obvious inconvenience of ex-
changing so large body of men in so short
time. This policy having been decided upon,
it is becoming to acquiesce cheerfully, and
furnish to the government AT ONCE all that it
asks, and in the manner it prescribes.
Two regiments are now forming in Massa-
chusetts; one is IN camp in this city, the other
at Lynnfeld. Both of them want recruits.
There is immediate need for them in the
field. If they were full and ready to
march, they would be at once assigned
to responsible commands, where they might
furnish effectual aid in bringing the war TO an
honorable and early end. The government
calls for these troops. 1t has done its duty in
that respect, and is waiting to see if the people
will do theirs. The enthusiasm of year ago
is of course wanting-it never comes but
once with all its force in single war; but the
occasion which justified it is still unsettled,
and is still calling for the help of the willing
and the strong. Massachusetts has made
some sacrifices already. She has not hesitat-
ed at any cost when her way of duty has been
clear. But it is not yet time to weigh these
sacrifices nicely. The country is still beset
with enemies who must be overthrow before
there can be peace. And surely this state, IA
vored beyond measure in all its branches of
activity, does not expect to receive benefits
from a government whose burdens it is not
willing to share to the last.
The thirty-fourth regiment appeals to the
patriotism OF Worcester county to cheerfully
and promptly furnish its proportion of volun-
teers. Though it enters the field later than
those which have gone before, it will enter
upon no less honorable or important service.
The government expects prompt and gener-
Gus response. Members of the former regi-
ments, holding conspicuous places in the
ranks of the army, send home the hope that
the regiment may be speedily filled, and sent
forward to serve by their side. They shouldnot
be disappointed. In behalfof this regiment we
venture to appeal to that public spirit which
last year accomplished so much for the three
regiments raised in this county not to suffer
this one to languish for want of encourage
ment and support.

A PRIVATE letter from an officer in General

HENRY THOMAS BUcKLE.-The eminent au-
thor of the "History of Civilization" died at
Damascus on the 3lst of May, having gone
to the east for his health. He was born in
England Nov. "a, 1922 received good edu-
cation and entered commercial house, but
soon gained more reputation as chess player
than as a merchant. In 1910 his father died,
leaving him large fortune, and from his
twentieth year, Buckle, abandoning COM
merce, devoted himself to literary pursuits,
residing with his mother at her London resi-
dence. For several years his energies have
been concentrated on his great work in which
the author had pledged himself to show that
''the progress which Europe has made from
barbarism to civilization is entirely due to its
activity" The reading world will
join us in deploring that like Macaulay, his
illustrious countryman, Buckle has been re-
moved in the prime of life, leaving his great
work incomplctc.-N Y Evenihg Post.

Brutal Outr"ge-Lynching of the Perpe-
From the Fort Scott Bulletin.

From the Fort Scott Bulletin.
One of the most fragrant outrages ever per-
petrated in Kansas, prolific as our state has
been of crime, was committed near this
place last Monday night. The particulars as
we learn them are as follows =
Two soldiers, one belonging to the I'd Ohio
cavalry, and the other to the 10th Kansas,
went up Mill creek to the house of Mr. John
Davis, one of the oldest and most respected
citizens Of this county, and in the presence of
the mother, accomplished their hellish pur-
pose on the person of his daughter. Mr..
Davis was absent at another claim about
three miles distant, but he was arous-
ed by a neighbor with a report that
outcries had been heard in the direction
OF his house. In company with a number of
his neighbors, he went to his house, captured
the criminals, brought them to town, and
turned them over to the military authorities
After due consideration of the matter, general
Doubleday resolved to send them to fort
Leavenworth for trial. A civil writ, was how
ever procured, and on it the prisoners were
turned over to deputy sheriff Peter luck.
| This was on Thursday evening. They were
taken Immediately to Marmaton. During the
night a large crowd surrounded the place
where the prisoners were confined, and took
them by force out of the sheriff's hands Yes
terday morning they were found hanging on
tree short distance this side of Marmaton.
These are, in brief, the particulars of the
affair. We would much have preferred see
ing them executed by order of drum-head
court martial. We believe it would have had
a much better effect. In the hands of the
civil authorities their punishment would have
been long delayed, and might have been doubt
full even then. As it is, they have received a
terrible punithment for a terrible crime
Lynch law should ever be last resort, and is
always to be deprecated by every law-abiding
citizen; but if there ever was an instance in
which it wBs justiiable, this is the one

ness. He makes an admirable general. Gen.
Couch is one OF the bravest men ever saw"
Gen. Fremont to His Troops.
Gen. Fremont issued spirited address to
his troops after the battle of Cross Keys, of
which the following is an extract =
''rhe commanding general desires to thank
the troops for their steadiness and good CON
duct in the numerous recent encounters with
the enemy, and more especially to express his
admiration of the obstinate and veteran cour-
age, and the instance of chivalric bravery dis
played by them at the battle of Cross Keys.
He thanks them warmly for their soldierly en-
durances which enabled them in their vigor-
Gus pursuit Of the enemy to meet the extra
ordinary hardship and fatigues of forced
marches in the mostinelement weather, and in
the absence of the most ordinary supplies. He
congratulates them upon their rapid and glo-
Tious march, in which they drove before
them in precipitate retreat a greatly superb

engagements, compelled him, after a hard
| fought battle, to retreat from his chosen
| ground, leaving his dead upon it, and aban-
doning two guns, and finally threw him across
the Shenandoah with the parting admonition:
of their well-served artillery"
The general also alludes to the disorder:
and outrages upon property which marked
the line of his march from Franklin to Por

lowing rules to be read at the head of all the
