in circulating reports of disparaging ma

mates in a species of personal detraction,
then such an epoch has surely arrived. 1t
strikes us quite forcibly, that meddlers OF

by a gentleman of Bangor and ore on ex-
bibition at No. Is Main Street.
Mr.. Hodgkins on the 9th of last April,
was out on short hunting expedition with
this hound. She soon struck the trail of q
fox, and drove it into its burrow. She rush.

it, thus gratifying the strong, Instructive
passions of her blood and race to run down,
overcome and destroyed her adroit and
cunning enemy. Mr.. Hodgkins came up
just as, leaving her lifeless victim, she was
about to plunge again into. the -burrow--.
when, hearing the whining cry OF young
foxes, he restrained and prevented her. He,
opened the burrow, took out five little foxes
and put them into his pockets. They
scream ed bitterly from fear and for the loss
of their dam.
In MON ent the hound seemed to COM
prehend their pitful condition, and the fact
that she had been the cruel cause of it,.
She threw herself upon the body. of the
dead fox, embracing it with her legs, rub
bng it with her nose, as if trying by every
means In her power 10 warm hoo EestoIe IL

this impossible, she sadly yet eagerly and
forgetful of every thing else, followed Mr..
HodgkiDs home, keeping as close as she
could to the young foxes. Suspicious that
her natural appetite would triumph and i'm.
pei her to destroy them, he chained and.
kept her eparate from them. But she was
so excited and grieved that his children, ig:
norant of the cause of her suffering aud
pitying her, let her loose; and, 10! spriHginX
into the kennel where they lay huddled to-

among them as if they had been her own
progeny. Her udder had been dry for more
than year, but soon the milk flowed freely,
and she has since suckled and nonrished
and protected them with most afectionatO
tenderness and care.
Conscious that by her own wanton cru,

Nothing but i'll luck. It's said the for
tunes of war are uncertain; but that has not
been true of the grand army Of the Potom ac;
its fortunes have been uniformly i'll. This
can not be the fault of men. They have

one has complained that the men did not
generally show the courage of heroes.
The eyes Of foreign countries have been

This last failure is no worse, perhaps, than
others; but it is another failure that is the
misfortune.

The Conscription and the Foreigners
The Courier des Etats Unis reserves fol
another occasion the discussion of the prin-
ci pies and consequences of the Conscr;ptior
Law, as defined in the Presid ent's proclama-
ton. 1t considers these questions too deli
cate and too complicated to be at once dis
posed of. The editor, howeve says:
"To calm the minds of those interested,
we hasten to add that it appears to US i'm :
possible that such decision as is here pro-
claimed by the President can be maintained
in the presence of the unanimous protests
which will, no doubt, be received from all
foreign governments .i-f =

The primary act of voting is denied them;
they receive no passports, and are literally
distinct class, undergoing a probationary
process, and subjects, officially, to no govern

whole party were taken prisoners. They
were hurried off as rapidly as possible to get
them out of the way of our advancing force,

But the strsngest part of the story is yet
to come. Lieut.. Payne, on arriving in,

life he had thus gallantly saved, had since
been taken prisoner by our forces. and had
just been confined in the Old Capitol prison.
