CARLrLE's paper at clarksburgh appears
to drag. One week it comes out whole
sheet aud another week a half sheet He
wants another compositor, he says. He
wants something else good deal more,
and that is the confidence aud patronage
of the people. As a Senator from EAST
Virginia he ought to quit M eddling in the
affairs of another State, one would think.
This thing of being Senator from one
State aud living in another and trying to
seditioniEe it, is bold aud brassy and
consistent piece of Carlileism.

THE LATE ATTACK ON CHARLES
ta 22A TON.

The Washington correspondent of the Bos-
ton Journal, who was present at the Monitor
engagement in Charleston harbor writes:
The evidence multiplies that we came very
near taking Fort Sumter in the attack in
April. Intelligence has been received from
one who has been in the fort since the attack.
He says that the wall on the northeastern
face is cracked from top to bottom; that the
last shots went through the wall, clear across
the area to the opposite walls; that on the
morning after the fight pieces of canvass were
placed over the breeches to hide them from
our sight; that the7eficer in command tele-
graphed to Beauregard during the engage
ment that he would be compelled to surren-
der A portion of this is corroborative of the
testimony of Captain Ammen, who was con-
fident that his last, shots went completely
through the wall. It was apparent TO all of
US who watched that fight that after the first
half hour the fire of the fort perceptibly
slackened, and almost ceased on the north
eastern face. Admiral Dupont evidently lost
golden opportunity when he decided not to
renew the attack on the following day.

HOW A CURaTE BECAME RECTOR

Archbishop Whateley. in his Annotations
on Bacon's Essays, relates the following an
ecdote: A curate of a London parish, of
most exemplary conduct, was accustomed to
demonstrate very freely with any of his peo-
pie whose life was not what it should have
been. They wished much to get rid of him,
but could find no pretexts for complaint. Ell
ther to the rector or the bishop. They there
fore hit upon this cunning plan-they drew
up and signed a memorial TO the bishop, set
ting forth the admirable character of tie Gu
rate, lamenting that his eminent worth should
not be rewarded, and earnestly recommending
him for preferment. Soon after, this very
living, quite unexpectedly became vacant
wnereupon the bishop considering how ac-
ceptable, as well as deserving he appeared tc
be, presented him to it, informing him of the
memorial. The good man thanked his peo.
pie with fearful eyes, rejoicing that they hac
taken in good part his freedom of speech, .ane
assuring them that he would continue all hi
life the course which had won their approba
ton.

A PRAxER FROM THE HEART.

The following is the prayer of a slave, es-
caIed from Virginia some six months ago.

es of a rebel He knew all about the Proc
lamation. He fully comprehended the bear
ing of the rebellion on the destiny of his wife
and children, and that if it was crushed before
New Y ears, they would not be free. He had
been some time employed about a railroad
station, and had many phrases familiar to
managers of railroads. He was praying for
his wife and children. In the fulness of his
heart, he cried out with great energy in his
own dialect, which wish I could give-it
would give more meaning to it, but cannot,
and must put it in simple English. He said
-"Oh God Almighty keep the engine of
rebellion going till New Y ears! Good Lordl

verse the engine, don't back up, Lori, Don't
put on the brakes! But, pray, good Lord

sixty miles an hour! ["Amen!". "Do, good

AMUSING PUNISHMENT.

Years ago Lewis Holt kept railroad re-

the road running West. He had way which
men of his persuasion have not altogether
abandt ned, of taking the money of passen-
gers, sweeping it into his drawer, ard fun bling
after the change till the cars were off, when
the passenger would have to run and leave
his money. Charles Dean stepped out of the
cars there one day. took a 'ginger pop. price

dropped into his till, and went hunting tc
get cut the change. Away went the cars
and Charlie jumped on without his change
but he had time to read the name of Lewis

manner of its presentation scarcely admit of

which every man owes to the State; and

The people of Ohio, who are loyal to the
Constitution of the United States as interpre-
ted by its immortal trainers, have just spoken
their sentiments in delegated capacity, on
the vital issues of the day, through one of
the most animated, the most earnest and most
important Conventions ever held in this State.
The people had just been startled at the
defiant action of men of unworthy ambition,
of desperate political fortunes, who, buta few
days since, having deluded adherents of their
party, to array themselves against the consti-
tuted authorities, had nominated for Governor
an undisguised contemner of official orders.
In their insane forgetfuluess of patriotic du-
ty, these political managers conspired to pro-
mote to the high Office of Commander-in-
Chief of the military forces of Ohio, one who
glories in having opposed force to armed re-
belfoa thus insulting the one hundred thou
sand soldiers of this State now defending the
Constitution in the field. -
Inspired with the loftiness of the great oc-

all politicol trammels, and foregoing all pre-
dilections, as band of brothers, loyal citizens
and soldiers have united in the great peoples
movement to aid the President, summarily, to
crush out the rebellion In this spirit the
Convention performedits high mission to-day.
1t reflected the popular heart in summoning
you, sir, from your personal engagements to
devote your time and talents as standard bear
er of the National Unionists of Ohio before
| the people of this State.
You have been duly nominated the Union
candidate for Governor of Ohio, and we are
instructed to convey to you the earnest re-
quest of the Convention that you accept the
nomination.
| The State of Ohio is in the center of the
Republic-iti is in the pathway of commerce
| between the Atlantic and the Pacifc-her gi-
gantic interests are all bound up in the perpet-
uation of the Union. The enemies of ma
tional government would break up the States
into principalities, or divide the whole into
two Confederacies, leaving the United States
confined to thread of territory within Ohio
between the lakes and the Ohio river.
The people are loyal and will scout such in
fidelity to the sublime principles of national
unity.
Your patriotic determination to aid the ma
tional authorities to secure complete and
honorable triumph over rebellion binds you
and the people of Ohio in common cause,
cooperating with the National Executive du-
ring the pending struggle to save the Consti-
tuition and the Union. .-.e!-..
Believing, most cordially, that the people
will secure to you and your colleagues ma
jority vote unprecedented in the history OF
the State, we subscribe ourselves for the Con-
vention, officially, ...,.-zs ~

The APATHY OF EASTERN PENN.

A correspondents of the New York Times
speaks of the Indifference of the citizens Of
Harrisburg, Philadelphia, &c, in regard to the
invasion, and adds:
''If destroying, robbing. burning and slay-
ing, form pleasing spectacle. not only for
their fancy but their vision, let them continue
to shirk the duty which calls them immedi-
ately to the field, and my word for it they
will not in vain for the object of their gaze.
It is passing strange that the men of Penn
sylvania have not sprung to arms by thou
sands and grappled the invasion with an earn
estness that would leave ne doubt as to its
6na. fate.@
