A DIsGRACEFUL AFFAIR.-Some loafers went
to the house of colored barber, in Shipper,
the other day, insulted his wife, and conduct
ed themselves as rowdies usually do on such
occasions. Word reached the BARRIERS ears
as to the proceedings going on at the house
He at once repaired thither, in company with
q young man by the name of Ellsworth. -
Upon the approach of the two to the house
the rowdies skedaddled, hotly pursued by the
barber and Ellsworth, the former armed with
ashot-gun and the latter with shillalah-
Ellsworth caught his man and gave him a
severe pummeling, but the barber, finding
that his legs were not quite long enough to
overtake the man he was after, delivered the
contents of his gun at him, literally filling
his back with shot but not injuring him seri-
-ously, Both parties were arrested and all
were bound over 70 Court.-AcKean Hiner.

D3-E. Q. Austin, writing to the Wellsville
Free Press, gives the following account of the
brave services of one of the new freemen.-
Instances of this kind are occurring daily and
yet copperheads claim that the negro has no
courage:
"There is an dtdchs of this office, black
man, who may always be seen sitting on the
stone porth, who is now part of our country.
When the pilot was killed on board the
steamer "Escort" on our excursion to this
place, he took the helm and run her safe
through blockades and batteries, although
she was struck l8 times, and he, the pilot,
had one of his arms shot off. He saved Gen
Foster and the city to us. He is now under
the Generals wing, and waits,in little things,
on your humble servant -

OBITU AIRY.

Died, at his residence in Kingston, Luzerne
Co.. Pa, June /, 1868, Lieut.-Col. GEORGE
E. HOYT, of the l43d Pa. Volunteers.
Col. Hoyt entered the service as Captain
and was elected Lieut.-Col. at the formation
Of the Regiment, which he commanded for
some weeks when first ordered 10 Washing
ton. He had spent several years in the South,
as a teacher and civil engineer. Was near
Macon, Ca, when the rebellion broke out,
but came North the following summer, fully
acquainted with the foe we had to contend
with. He participated in the operations of
the First Corps on our extreme left and near
Banks Ford, in the recent Fredericksburg
battle, and his conduct was like an officer and
soldier. But in that seven days march thro'
that terrible storm to Belle Plains and back
to near Fredericksburg, his system could hold
out no longer; and lung and typhoid fever
succeeded heavy cold and although carried
to his home, even his own physician and the
nursing of brothers and sisters could not
master, and he gradually sank until June lst
when his spirit took its flight. His mind was
firm till near the last, and then it wan
dered to his men he was a soldier to the
last But his work is fnished-his last bat
tie fought-the last tattoo beat, and Col.
Hoyt sank to rest. He now sleeps beneath
the sod once stained by the far-famed, bloody
battle of Wyoming. Fit resting place for the
patriot and soldier! He will sleep undis-
turbed by the roar of cannon, the din of bat
tie, or the shrill notes of the bugle, until that
last great revelle is sounded by that Chief
Angelic Bugler, summoning all to their final
roll-call when we hope to find him member
of that glorious Grand Lodge on high, whose
infinite Grand Master doeth all things how,
and when, and where he pleaseth, and before
whom all shall humbly bow.
In him, his Regiment lost its best officer,
and the Craft worthy member. None knew
him but to love and respect him; but he
sleeps in an honored grave let his hundreds
of friends but drop silent tear. Glib.

s@-A comparison has been drawn between
old John Brown and Stonewall Jackson
Both were unquestionably engaged in rebel
lion, and each is believed to have been an
honest enthusiast, bringing religious faith
to the support of the cause for which he fought
and died. The difference is that John Browns
cause was that of liberty, humanity, and JUS
tice, while Stonewall Jackson's was that of a
wicked tyranny. Northern copperheads ex-
ecrate the name of John Brown, but mourn
over the death of the fanatical traitor, Jackson.

MEDICINES THAT CURE.-0ne of the special
peculiarities of DR.. Ayers preparations is, that
they accomplish what is promised for them
Whe, in this community, does not know that
of all the cough remedies the Cherry Pectoral
is by far the best? Who that ever uses pills
but will tell you Ayers Pills are at once the
mildeSt and most searching, most effectual
of all Did anybody ever hear of his Ague
Cure failing in a single case? Not an in
stance has been found where Fever and Ague
has resisted the faithful trial of it. This
may seem bold assertion, but we are as
sured it is true. And still more important
are the effects of his Alternative, called Extract
of Sarsaparilla. One after another, patients
come forth from their leprosy, cleaned and
purified into health, by this witchery of med
ico-chemical skill. Saturated with the ac-
cumulated rottenness Cf years, and poisoned
by the corruption Of their own blood, they

bination purging out the foul impurities, has
instilled the yigor of health, and restored
them to the enjoyment of life again. Ifthese

FROM MEXICO.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 1S.
The st. Louis brings, ria Acapulco.
dates from the City of Mexico to the
22d of July.
Forey is issuing DEGREES daily in
French.
Mexican newspapers are urging the
recognition of the southern Confedera-
cy. They state that France will rec
og'nize the Confederacy. Mexican
jealousy and feeling are provoked
against the United States, which is
styled nation of robbers. A Triumyi.
rate Pronunciamento saws "The
Northern States are for Juarez and
the Confederacy for Mexican mon
archy." Everything looks to the i'm
mediate recognition of the Corfederacy
by Mexico.
There was guerrilla fighting on the
roads leading to the City of Mexico.
The Mexicans take no prisoners. but
slay all. There had been numerous
assassinations of French sympathizers
in the city. The Triumvirate Govern.
ment were daily imprisoning and shoot.
ing persons who refuse to take the oath
OF allegiance to the Empire. Mexi-
cans were publicly fogged for refusing
quarters to French officers. A lady
named Rubio had received two hun
dred lashes for refusing to receive
French officers into her house. Her
husband offered to pay as fine her
weight in silver, but Forey insisted on
making an example. ..r
The foreign Ministers had declined
to remove to San Luis Potosi, on offer
OF Juarez to protect their transit.

AN AMAZON.

The Gettysburg correspondent Of the
Detroit Tribune gives the following ac-
count of female soldier: .. ....
81 talked with Mary Lippey this
morning. She is the French woman
who has followed the Hath Pennsy+
vania regiment since it entered the
service. She is an interesting charac-
ter She wears the regular Zouave
uniform the only one thing Indicating
her sex in her dress is short skirt.
She wears red pants and top boots car
ries revolver and sometimes a mus
ket, if one Of the boys gets too tired
to carry his. She is the idol of the
regiment, and they have good cause
to revere her. She gave me an amu-
sing account of her arrest by the
Lieut. Colonel in command here few
days after the fight. Mary was COM
ing in from camp for supplies for the
wounded, and was arrested and taken
to Jail. She said he was militia Colo
mel and did not know his duty She
showed her pass, but it would not do,
and he was about to search her, when
with pistol in hand she ordered him to
stand off am woman" said she,
"but | can teach you your duty lay
"a hand on me and will shoot you"
The Colonel saw he had made mistake,
and ordered her release. She is known
as Mary all through the camp and has
saved the life of many poor fellow.
She had followed the French army sew
en- years, went through the Crimean
campaign, and has served nineteen
months in this war.

ENGLISH NEUTRALITY.

"An American in the House of
Lords" thus discourses upon English
Neutrality" through the colums Of the
Atlantic Monthly"
" Mark how a Christian nation deals
with a Christian ally. Our destruction
is to be accomplished, not by open
warfare but by the delusive and das.
tardly pretence Of neutrality. There
is to be no diplomatic recognition of
an independent Southern Contedera-
cy,' but a formidable navy is to be fur
nlshed to our enemies and their armies
are TO be abundantly supplied with the
munitions Of war. But how? BY the
British Government ? Oh, no This
would be in violation of solemn trea-
ties. Earl Russell says, I'VE have
long maintained relations of peace and
amity with the United States. Eng
land cannot officially recognize or aid
the South without placing herself in a
hostile attitude towards this country.
Yet meanwhile English capitalists can
publicly subscribe to the loan which
our enemies solicit, and from English
ship yard fleet of iron-clad war ves-
sells can be sent, to lay waste our COM
merce and break our blockade of South
ern ports. What the end may be no
one may venture To forcteli but it
needs no prophet to predict that many
years will not obliterate from the
minds of the American people the
present policy of the English Cabinet,
controlled as it is by the genius of
English aristocracy."

The Effect of Contiscation.

The Hon. John c. Underwood, Fifth
Auditor, in charge of the Bureau for
confscating and selling rebel property
to pay the expenses of the present in
surrection, thus states, in recent
speech, the position Of the Government,
and the final results Of confscat;on to
the nation:
"And then will come the confsca.
ton, sale, and subdivision of the old
rebel plantations into farms, owned
and cultivated by soldiers and other
loyal men who have stood by the coun-
try in its hour Of trial. And what
signal display Of retributive justice
shall we see in this For has not
enough loyal blood been poured out
and mingled with the soil of Virginia
to extinguish every rebel right, and
establish the most uIquestionable title
in the heirs of the patriots and mar
tyrs who have fallen defending the lib
critics and unity of the nation? With
a denser white population thus obtain
ed, will naturally come higher civili-
zation, free schools, universal educa-
ton, arts, manufactures, and cores
ponding growth of Christian morality
and pure religion"
