n salary OF $4,000 year. The officers
under his direction will be as follows:
A collector for each collection district,
10 be appointed by the President, with
the consent OF the Senate, whose duties

Mrs. Lee,

This lady, the wife Of the rebel Com.
mander-in. Chief, was passed through our
lines on the 10th, under flag of truce.
A correspondent Of The Newark Advertiser,
thus describes her emotions on being
transferred TO the care Of the rebel officers:
Mrs. Lee-than whom have rarely
met more lady like and dgni6ed woman
was affected to tears on the approach
Of the rebel officer and wept like child
All who can tell what emotions filed tha,
woman's breast as she sat in her carriage
there, an exile from the home of her nap
piest days; the home that she, as young
and much loved wife, made happy with
her smiles, now in the hands OF those
whom love for All outraged country made
bitter enemies to her husband, that hus.
band now in arms against the land Of bis
fathers, the country 70 which he owes his
all. Mrs. Lee may be strong Secession.
ist, but doubt not that still small voice
will whisper to her woman's heart, "Is il
well that we do this thing ?"

Jury system in France.

The Court Of Assizes Of the Loire Infe-
rieur was occupied with the trial of
man named Pierre Tessier. on the charge
OF an attempt at murder on The person Of
Jean Laermine. 1t appeared from the in-
dictment that the wife Of the prisoner hav-
ing heard that he had passed the nigh:
with another female, reproached him VIC.
)ently with his conduct. Tessier, feeling
assured that Lhermine had informed her
OF the fact, determined TO be revenged.-
lie borrowed gun from neighbor, and
loading il with small shot went 10 the
house of Lhermine, and discharged it at
him. The latter, however. was but very
slightly wounded. The prisoner, when
arrested, said the gun had gone off by
accident. Among the witnesses examined
was the wife Of the prisoner, who stated
that the gun had not gone of accidentally,
but thai her husband had wished to kill
Lhermine. One Of the jury then rose,
and said that he considered it most i'm =
moral that wife should thus come and
accuse her husband. The president Told
the juryman that he could not be allowed
TO express his opinion in that manner, but
that ary question he might wish TO put to
fhe witness could be made through him
the president. The juryman then re-.
quested to ask Tie witness whether it was
she who would supply the sawdust TO
drink up the blood when her husbands 8
head was cut off. On this remark tie
president interlered, and said that he
could not allow the case to go on, and ad-
jourLed it to the next session.

A True Hero.

On Friday evening poor man named
Appleton, better known as Jim, the Sweep,
BgnaIized himself by an act of heroism that
can scarcely be surpassed. In one of the
low quarters of Morthyr TydviI, called Riv.
Gr-side, a small house, Inhabited by q minor,
was discovered to be on fire that evening
and very soon crowd assembled with tho
object of endeayoring to put it out. They
soon found that no ono was in the house,
and q neighbor Immediately this discovery
was made suddenly recollected q fact that
had slipped his memory, and with terrific
cry shouted out, "There's half q hundred
olSk Of powder in the pantry |" A scene
followed of the most startling character.-
The house was situated in the midst of q
densel y.inhabited locality, and thus in q
moment those who could DO aroused wore
seen flying from the spot-some nesting
their Children in th6fr arms, others bearing
away some priced household god. As for
she crowd around the burning house. they
scattered in everv direction, nll but one
man and helm, the sweop--with the
GOODNESS of hero. forced his way into the
house, and in moment saw the perilUus
nature of things. Two beds were on tho
bedstead burning fiercely, ard tie flames
had actually caught the pantry door. jim
bad to shut the front door in order to open
the pantry. This no did. and right before
him was the dreadful cask. and around it u
thin fork OF fame! He tried to raise the
cask, but 1t was burning hot. and instead OF
top it had an iron "bakestare." With q
blow he struck this off, and though tho cask
burnt his hands severely, he held on with
the tenaclty of Briton. and boro tho pow

out Of danger. A few minutes more and tho
powder-49 pounds in all-would have

A Venerable Rditor.

The Salem Republican thus refers to Mr..
Joshua saxtOn, the veteran editor of the
Canton Repository:
"Mr. Saxton, Of the Canton Repository,
favored US with visit on Saturday last.
Although, if we mistake not, beyond the
age allotted TO man to live, yet by reason
OF his strength, gained as the reward of a
virtuous and temperate life, he seems as
hale and hearty as most men at thirty.
For forty-eight years he has published the
paper he yet edits, and never missed, in all
that time, but one Issue. He is the oldest
editor in the State, and perhaps the only
one in the Union who has, for anything
like oloug time, had control Of the same
paper. Mr.. S. started the Repository in
about 1914, and has never, through all the
trials, vexstions and priyatiens incident to
editorial life, fOrssken his first love-

Chicago Tribune writes as follows:
"The proclamation of freedom to ell
which the President promised should be
issued on the first of January next, i0iI

our portion, Mr.. Lincoln is firm on this
point. For this, all thanks and all praise.
II there be any reward for doing right, we
shall reap and taste it. Slavery, as a po-
litieal power in the nation, is doomed and
damned, for even though the next Presi-
Dental election should be carried by the
Vallandighams and Woods of the North,
the fact will have been so far accomplished
that no human power can restore its life,
much less its supremacy. The Democratic
leaders in Congress know this and gnssh

We learn that on Thursday last eolored
boy who had come into the lines Of the
10Sd Ohio atFrankfort, Kentucky, and was
employed by the Chaplain, who fed and
clothed him without expense to the Gov
eminent, was claimed by man who rep
resented himself as his master, and that
upon the claim being presented to Lieuten-
ant-COlonel Sterling, he ordered the boy to
be delivered up, which was done without
resistance. The men Of the regiment felt
agrieved at this course being adopted, they
having hoped that such Gilmore tactics
had been dispensed with. It is further
stated, but may not be fact, that the
claimant was not the master of the boy at
all, but only an acquaintance of the former
master, who, recognizing the boy, took that
method to possess himself of "a likely
Niger" We regret to have these things
to chronicle but when such q course is
adopted by any officer we do not intend to
aid in hushing the matter up.
Weare aware that those general officers
who require all fugitives to be turned out
Of their lines claim that they are not there
by disregsrding the act Of Congress pro-
hibiting the use Of the army in returning
fugiives, saying that they simply let them
alone. But suppose fugitive masters should
come to an Ohio village to search for a
slave, and the Mayor, while asserting that
he would not aid in returning the slave,
should require that he be driven outside the
corporation limits; would not that be as
eHectusLiy aluing III nis SaPIUrv as II ne
turned out posse to search for and take
him7 There have been officers who lit
orally and honestly let the question alone
by allowing the clsimant to search their
quarters for their fugitive and then leav-
ing it entirely to the slave to say for him
self whether he would return or not. If
he was willing, all right if not then he
should remain.
