From the Hartfoi d Conn. Pr,

rom the ffArtlOfu (Onn.
There is well-known gentleman in this
city of a musical turn Of mind, whose bus
travelling about the country His family
resided in the north part of the city Du-
ring his absence his wife wrote to him that
she had good opportunity to sell their
place and go and reside with her father at
the south end of the city, as they had pre-
viously talked Of He replied advising
her to sell; and wrote again and again, but
failed to receive any more letters from his
wife.
After while he returned home. arriving
unexpectedly on the md night train La
boriously he wendell his way to the resi-
denc, at the north end, carrying heavy
yaliece in each hand Having his latch
key in his pocket, he walked in without dis
turbing any one, left his baggage in the
hall and CROPPED his way up to his wife s
room A kerosene lamp was burning low
casting dim light over the room. The
gentleman was tired and glad to get home
to his familiar room again. He turned up
the light little brighter, and leisureiy be

with a dim comprehension of the truth
His wife had sold the place, and his former
residence was occupied as a young ladies'
arding house.
Confused and bevildered he CROPPED his way
out, only to stumble headlong over his for
gotten baggage in the hall, with a noise
that brought the whole female household
about his ears, with screams Of robbers,
murder, fire; polcel Jumping up with

state Convention.

We hear from several of our exchanges
that there is a growing desire to hold our
next State Convention at La Favette, in
stead of indianapolis. That there should
be any necessity for 4 change of place, is
humiliating in the last degree to every
freeman of our State; but if the democracy
cannot hold a convention at the Capitol,
what assurance is there that it will be per
United at any other place? Will Eot the
very fact of such a change, be made the
pretcxt for such aggressions upon our
rights as arc feared at indianapolis We
say hold the Convention at the Capitol
Of the State, in the State House, or hold
it not at all. If his Acca'encs O. p
Morton refuses US the protection, Of the
law, and connivcs with the lovers of abo

The Greeub8ck Democracy.

1t is refres hing to read the Democratic
profession of these Union men, alias Abo-
litionists. They are Democrats ofthe right
type. They parade their greenback De.
mocracy for the genuine article, with as
much effrontcry as they do legal tender
made gold and silver by law. The attempt
to pass off their spurious stuff for the gen
uine article of Democracy, will succeed no
better than their effort to make gold out of
grcenbacks. The skunk could net deceive
the woodchuck by protesting it was wood
chuck; aud these greenback Democrats can t
stand the test We have Democracy i'll the
State Of the grcenback sort. They are at
4 worse discount than Chase's money but
just now their grecnback loyalty aspires TO
be legal tender like other grecnbacks

Impressment,

The Richmond papers contain the act 20 regulate
impressments just passed by Congress, which we
shall publish in full in our next. This law is prob:
ably as well guarded, and is as good one as could
have been enacted on the subject; but with the
Richmond Hhig we think
at would be, in the last degree unwise in the
government to rely on impressment for the regular
supply of the army. That as system Is the very
worst that could be possibly devised. Experience
teaches that an inoading army in hostile country
can better, more surely, and more cheaply supply
itself by purchase than by plunder. this be true,
in case of an invading army in hostile country,
how much stronger must it be where the property
seized is that Of citizens by its own government !?
The danger is. and it is great and imminent, that it
will demoralize the people, and starve the army
