Our Country.

We are sometimes appealed to by in
diyiduals not To be, as they nllcgc. 80 de-
nunciatory against Democrats. We de-
ny mos, cmphatically that we have in
act, word or deed, charged loyal dem
ocrat with being a Copperheud. We tic.
sire ond always endjayor to make wide
distinction between the two. A man can
b. democrat aud ulsJ friend 10 his
country, but it is impossible to bc Cop
prrhcad and yet be n loyal democrat
We cannot conceive why we should be
doing oursclf injustice and wrong loyal
democrats by dcnouncing coppcrhcodism
with our whole "might soul aud strength
when democrats such as the hero II jsc.
Grams speaks as follows:
81 nm Dmnzed that any one could
think of pence on any terms" lie who
cntertuins the scntimc Mt is fit only to be
q slave he. who uttcrs IL at this time, is,
moreover traitor to his country, who de-
serves the scOrn aud contempt vi all hon
able men,"
IL IL should occur that we insult and
nuke enemies out Of pretended friends,
by doing Our utmost to aid in sustaining
the old flag, wo do not court their lricnt-
ship, for in our opinion the loyalty of such
is questionable. When we dare not fol.
low in the wake of such lie long demo-
Gratis as Butler, Johnson, Wright and an
innumcrable number of Others, who ore
more severe even than we are in regard
to enemies Of our country, we will pity
onr miserable self and consi idcr that we
are unworthy to enjoy the blessings of
this happy country.
When man or set of mcn travel
from ncighbor to neighbor, with peace
petitions in their hand for signatures, we
canuot hut conclude that such men have
not the bist disp osition toward their
country-,hut they mean evil. This is
10 time for peace by compromise with
traitors IL is a time for powder, lad
and bayoncts And We regard the act
disloyal at this time to work for peace in
any other way or manner than the mode
adopted by our soldiers.
Let Us oil cling to the good and
stounch old ship, Union. II matters not
who the man 10, or by what name he may
be called, be he Democrat, American,
X publican or A" Abolitonist," il he is
friend Of the Union, and in favor OF Wig.
orous prosecution OF the war for the sup
preston of tho rebellion, he is our
friend.

Hints on Gathering Fruit.

The following useful hints are from the
Gardeners Weekly Magazine:
Most people are dispored to gather
the autumn fruits too soon. They hear
the trees creaking in the wind, and they
find the ground strewn with wind-falls;
from the premises they jump at the con-
clusion that the fruit ought to be gather
ed. But certain percentage of the crop
may fall, from various causes, before they
are ripe. The diseased portion will lose
its hold, or the wind may dislodge what
is sound, long before the portion which re-
mains firm is fit to gather. A rule is gen.
orally adopted by gardeners, that if the
pips ofapples or pears are turning brown,
the crop may be taken; but we should
rather say that a decidedly dark and set
tied hue of the seed is safer criterion.
AS TO the objection that waiting late in
TO the autumn causes loss of the fruit by
falling, it has little weight; because it is
by this process that the weaker and less
sound fruit is got rid of, while the best
remains. Taking the crop too early will
not only injure the good fruit, by causing
it to shrivel, but will also render frequent
removals necessary, in order to seperate
from the stock the rotten ones, which wo'd
of themselves have fallen from the tree if
more time had been given. A most i'm
portant matter is gathering the fruit with
out bruising it in the slightest degree
Apples and pears bought in the market
are generally much specked, by which
their beauty is spoiled; and most of this
is occasioned by blows received both in
gathering and in rolling the fruit from one
basket to another. This can scarcely be
avoided when orcharding is carried on
largely; but amateur gardeners cannot
well give too much attention to gathering
their fruit Any falling should be obvi-
ated, and what does fall should be placed
separately. A coat, with deep side pock-
cts, is better than basket hung to n lad
der; and such receptacles, being quite un-
der command, may be made to hold a
good deal. The kind Of weather during
which the gathering is performed is mat
ter of Importance. The trees should be
thoroughly dry, and windy day chosen
if possible.

The GREAT FARM OF ILLINoIs.--A
correspondent of the st. Louis Democrat,
writing from Springfield, ILL.,, on tho 9th,
says of visit he paid TO the great farm
of Jacob Strawn, at Jacksonville:
l returned by circuit of some miles,
passing for nearly one hour through the
home farm Of Jacob Strawn, an enclo-
sure of about twelve thousand acres of as
magnificent land as the foot of man ever
trod, or the share Of the ploughman ever
turned up. There were cattle and sheep,
and mules, and horses upon the meadows,
corn in thousands of acres upon the broad
prairie; hay in stacks, and wheat in shock
or housed for winter. Mr.. Strawn's res
idence is large, commodious brick man
sion, with orchard, garden, &C., surround
ING it. He came 10 this State years ago,
with but fifty cents in his pocket; traded
in cattle, bought land, loaned money, &C.,
and now is the possessor of thirty thou
sand acres more or less, in this part of
the countryl l met the old gentleman
returning from church in his buggy. A
gentleman subsequently informed me that
he had entered the building in his shirt
sleeves with his coat upon his arm. He
is man nearly seventy years of age, ap-
parently very corpulent, but possessing
mind of great activity, and sprightli-
ness and vivacity Of temperament really
wonderful in one of his age. He polite
ly invited me to spend two or three days
with him, merely saying he would find
me very useful in opening the gates and
watering his horses as he drove about his
property.

A Perilous Adventure.
DESPERATE COURAGE OF A LADY.


The Alta Californian narrates an in
stance of perilous adventure and remark
able courage OF lady formerly from the
vicinity of Cleveland, and the letter from
a sister Of the lady, written from Denver
city, to friend in that city.
The heroine is Mrs. Gerrish, formerly
Miss Fannie Miles, daughter of Mr.. A. H.
Miles, who some years since lived in New
burg, but who has removed his family to
Denver city. The husband of the lady
lives in Oregon, and she was on her way
to rejoin him after a visit TO her friends
in the Atlantic States. About the mid
die of May, she, with her baby, was trav-
cling in the Overland Mail Stage Coach,
between Denver aud San Francisco The
only persons composing the party were
herself and baby inside the coach, and one
passenger and the driver on the front seat.
About eight miles out from Carson
Station the stage was attacked by In
dians, who fired into it, killing the two
men on the outside. The passenger fell
off the coach, but the driver tumbled back
on the seat, quite dead, but retaining his
hold on the lines and whip.
The horses dashed of wildly, and the
Indians continued to fire on the coach, the
bullets passing through and through it,
but providentially not touching Mrs. Ger
rish or her child. With extraordinary
courage and self-posession, Mrs. Gerrish
hid her child under the seat, covering it
up with cushions to protect it from the
bullets. Then she crawled out of the
coach on 10 the drivers seat-though
how this was safely accomplished amid
the whistling of bullets and the mad plum
ging of the frightened horses, seemed mis-
terious. Taking the reins and whip from
the cold and stifened hands of the dead
driver, she got the hosres under control,
and drove them about mile, when one
of them fell dead from the loss of blood.
There seemed cricis in her fate. Jump
ing down from the seat she commenced
cutting loose one Of the surviving horses,
with the purpose of mounting it and gal
loping off with her baby. She had near
ly accomplished her task when the east
ern coach came up over the hill, and the
driver seeing the struggling horses and a
woman among them, whipped up his
team and drove rapidly to her relief.
The coach that came up was full of
men, and the Indians retreated. Mrs.
Gerrish was taken back to the station
from which she had come. There she
begged of the agent to send her forward
with an escort, but he said he did not
dare to do it, as it was against positive or
ders. Finding, after while, she was the
wife of Free Mason, the agent who was
himself Mason, said he would give her
a proper escort if he swung for it, and
thus she reached San Francisco in safety,
and afterwards joined her husband in Or
egon.

of them who had served in the Mexican
