new gOods-the largest, Robert says, that
was ever brought to this village; and, judg
ing from the crowded appearance of the
store, we "reckon" Bob is about right
Delaines, lawns, prints, muslins every
thing in the dry goods line, will be found
there in profusion. And they are sold al
very reasonable prices. Groceries, hard
ware, cutlery, farming tools-in fact, just
about everything needed in this part of the
country, is on sale at the "Stone Store -
Let our friends examine the stock, and we
know they will be well pleased, both with
the quality of the goods, and their prices.

The following letter, published by request

son, Esq, an officer in the same company, to
his wife living in Waterloo township, in
this county. communicating the sad intelli
gence;
NASHVILLE, MARCH 9Th, 1868,
DEAR NJ 1 addressed letter to you
but two days ago, and did not then expect
20 be obliged 10 communicate with you SO
soon: but circumstances have since occurred
rendering it necessary. You will please
communicate the first favorable opportunity
you have. to Mrs. Burns the sad intelligence
that the partner of her joys and sorrows is
no more. He departed this life on the 7th
inst, between the hours Of eight and nine
o'clock p. NJ, in the Regimental Hospital.
Yesterday the regiment followed his remains
to their final resting place. His funeral was
largely attended, and could not have been
much more so if he had been a Colonel
His death was unexpected to us all, even to
the physicians in attendance on him. What
his last wishes were l am unable to say, as
he did not appear sensible of bis situation
for some time before he died. He had been
i'll about two weeks, with lung fever, and
until about a day before his death. 10 fears
were entertained of his death The doctor
thinks that he must have taken some cold
which brought on congestion. think the
doctor did not understand the nature of his
in tha .oc L IL
ness; but whether the result would have
been any different if he had, 1 am unable to
say, for sit is appointed unto man once to
die" and it makes but little difference when
or where that event occurs, provided we are
prepared TO meet IT.. 1t would no doubt
have been pleasure to his wife and friends
to have been able to minister to his wants,
and do all they could to soothe his pains in
his last moments; and likewise a supreme
qualification to him. But it was ordained
TO be different, and we must yield our wishes
to the force of circumstances. 1t might
have been greater satisfaction to his
friends to have known that he died in battle,
with his face to the foe, than in the manner
he did, but he was nevertheless a hero and
patriot, and his name deserves to be in
scrlbed as high on the roll of fame as though
he had died In the combat. Both officers
and men testify to his patriotic zeal in the
cause of his country. and also to his soldier
ly conduct, and willingness always displayed
in the discharge of his duty. We shall
miss him in the camp, and on the march,
aud at the stated roll-calIs of the company;
but we all hope and trust that he will be
able to answer present" at the great roll
call above. To Mrs. Burns, in this hour Of
her sore bereavement, we tender our sym
palhy, and would recommend her to look
to that Supreme Disposer of events, for con-
ISOLATION and guidance, who has promised
to protect the shorn lamb, and be a father to
the fatherless, and the widows husband.
George This brOther] bears up under his
grief like a true soldier, and desires me to
state that he has written to his father to take

EEx-sunss. Rice on ahe EsuIy of Escmso-
Gratis.

We find in the Northern Statesman, pub
lished at Faribault, Mimi, the following let.
ter from Hon II. M. Rice, addressed to some
citizens of that place, defining what his posi-
ton is and what that Of all Democrats ought
to be, on the war question:
ST. PAUL, July %, 1868.
GENTLEMEN Illness in my family has pre-
feuded me from giving you an earlier ac-
acknowledgement Of yours Of the 9Th inst.
am thankful for the expression Of esteem
and regard you were pleased to convey to
me.
am now private citizen which position
am determined to occupy.
The thought of acting with any other than
the Democratic party never entered my head.
The whole object of the rebellion is to destroy
the principle of Democracy The party which
stands by the Government is the true Dem
ocracy. Every soldier in the army is true
Democrat Every man who lifts his head
above party trammels is a Democrat and ev-
cry man who permits old issues to stand in
the way of vigorous prosecution Of the war,
cannot, in my opinion, have any claims on
the party. If the city was on fire would you
call upon any particular party to extinguish
the flames or would you stop to examine its
charter for fear that you might violate some
of its provisions by taking water from your
neighbors' wells :?
Should disaster befal our country in the
struggle for life, true Democrats cannot be
blamed Those who have the power and do
not use it to the fullest extent, and those who
are wasting their time and distracting the
people by their idle discussions, will occupy
no enviable position hereafter, Union or no
Union.
| am for regaining and retaining every foot
of soil we ever possessed, without any com
promise whatever
England, France, and perhaps other coun-
tries that exist by Expressing the people, are
anxious chat we should fail. Great Britain
with Canada on our North, France in full pos
session Of Mexico, were we united, would
prove formidable adversaries
1t is undoubtedly their policy to encourage
the present war; and to increase dissensions
among ourselves until the North and the
South shall be reduced to the lowest point Of
exhaustion, then recognize the independence
of the latter, at which time the North will be
TOO much weakened to resist Anarchy and
ruin will follow. The descendants Of the great
and good men of the Revolution will he with
out peaceful homes and those from foreign
lands who lave chosen this because it was free,
will find the tyrant's rod substituted for the
flag that allured them to this then happy
country.
If / have erred and am still in the wrong,
my Judgment alone has gone astray. Time
will determine whether | have been true to
Union, to Minnesota its people and the Dem
ocratic party, or not. May God save the lib
critics Of America.
With great respect,
Your ob't servant.

Fr"m Letter III n. j. INES
In the meantime the rebel States will en-
deavor to return into the Union What will
you do about it ? On what terms will you re-
ceive them? Have you made up your minds2
That is the problem, and by far the greatest
of the war. know that vengeance belong
eth to the Lord and let the Lords will be
done. But you have right to say on what
terms you will receive people into your polit-
ical society; and you have a right to demand
some reparation from the guilty actors in this
tragedy, for the great wrongs to society and
justice. Are we to admit great herd of Sc
cessionists to come back to our political coun-
ellis, as if they had never wrongcd anybody?
Are we to admit the inhuman overseers and
taskmasters of slaves back to our fraternal
embraces, as if they were the pure and honest
Of the earth? Isay mever! This lately inno-
cent and peaceful land has not been watored
and fattened with the best blood Of the nation
for such an end as that. No! We have
scotchcd the snake only. Let us Kill it. Let
us say to secession, to slavery, and TO every
evil spirit, Jerking in the hydra-hcad of satan
ic rebellion--down, down. and forever! If the
rebel States will come into this Union as they
once were, but come renouncing their sins and
their crimes, let them come peacefully and
joyfully; but if not, let the sword govern them
till they are restored to reason.

The tree called the lsonandra Gutta, which
furnishes the gutta-percha, is a native Of the
Indian Archipelago and the adjacent lands
A few years since this substance, now of such
widely extended use, was totally unknown to
Europe, for though from time immemorial,
the Malays employed ii for making the han
dies of their hatchets and creeses it was only
in the wear 1913 that Mr.. Montgomery, an
English surgeon, having casually become ac-
quainted with its valuable properties, sent an
account of it, with samples. to the Royal So
ciety, for which he received its gold medal.
The fame Of the new article spread rapidly
| throughout the world science and specula-
ton sliced upon it with equal cagerness; it
was Immediately analysed, studied and tried
in every possible way, so that it IS now as
well known and rs extensively used as If 1t
had been in our possession for centuries. The
Isonandra Gutta is a large lign tree, with a
dense crown of rather small, dark green leaves
and a round smooth trunk The white bios
SONS change into a sweet fruit containing an
oily substance fit for culinary use. The wood
is soft spongy, and contains longitudinal
cavities filled with brown strips Of gutta per-
cha The original method Of the Malays for
collecting the resin, consisted in telling the
tree, which was then placed in Il santing po-
sition, so as to enable the exuding fluid to be
collected in banana leaves.
This barbarous proceeding, which, from
the enormous demand which suddenly arose
for the gutta, would soon have brought the
rapidly rising trade to a suicidal end, fortu-
nately became known before it was too late,
and the resin is now gathered in the same
manner as caoutchouc, by making incisions
in the bark with Il chopping-knife, collecting
the thin white milky fluid which eXudes in
large vessels, and allowing it to evaporate in
the sun, or over a fire. The solid residuum,
which is the gutta-perclla Of conmerce,is fin.
ally softened in hot wafer and pressed into
the form Of slabs OF flat pieces, generally foot
broad, a foot and half Tonga and three inches
thick. Gutta-percha has many properties in
common with caoutchouc, being completely
nsolubIe in water tenacious but not elastic.
and an extremely bad conductor Of caloric and
electricity The uses of gutta-percha are man
fold. 1t serves for water-pipes, for vessels tit
for the reception Of alkaline or acid liquids
which would corrode metal or wood, for sur
gical impIiments, for boxes baskets, combs,
knife-handles, and a variety Of other articles.

The .EPeace'' Democrats OF New oris
That staunch friend of America, the Lon
don Meas, lets into the London Times and its
New York friends, who are also Gov. Sey-
mours friends, in the following manner:
We may fairly ask the Times what it now
thinks of its allies in New York. They have
shown-not changed-their quality; what
does our contemporary think of them now P
For three months the ruffians of New York,
who choose to call themselves ''Peace Democ-
racy," have been the only party in the whole
North for whom the Times has had a civil
word to say Their spirit has inspired its
! New York correspondent and their rowdy Or
ators have been extolled in its leading arti-
cles as the only wise and patriotic men in the
Free States. Stunned and loathed by respec-
table Americans of every party. the leaders
| of these pretended ''Peace Democrats have
| figured in the columns of the Times as the
only men who can save America, if indeed
that be possible. .---
| The 1jae5 has occasionally a way ofaffeet-
ing ignorance of the commonest facts. But
| if the Times does not know who its New York
friends are, there are many thousands Of Eng
lishmen who do. We have known these
''Peace Democrats" many years, under vari-
Gus names, and the wonder u.s. not that they
have now risen to murder unotfending citizens
and burn down houses, but that they did not
do so at much earlier period Of this war
They have been the vilest accomplces and
most degraded tools of the I'ro-Slavery party
both in the North and the South. They are
the men who formerly used 10 break up the
Anti-Savery meetings. and pursue the most
eminent men of the Abolition party with
threats of assassination They are the men
by whose aid and protection New York few
years ago became the chief port Of the world
from which ships issued to carry on the pi-
ratical slave trade MIR Iimcolns Govern
ment has inflicted some very heavy blows on
their interests.
1t has broken up Or driven away their slaveI
expeditions, and it hanged Capt Gordon. It'll
is astonishing that they endured this hard tri-
al The hour for them has come to render a
last service to their old friends. 1t is now or
never. The CONSUMPTION supplied them with
the pretext for raising the mob and causing
confusion at home and shame abroad. And
that it was no more than preteNt every fea-
ture of the riot shows. The mob burned
down the Colored Orphan asylum, destroyed
several negro houses, and attacked every ne
gro they could reach-kiling a considerable
number, and, it is said. burning one to death.
These performances with the attack on the
Office Of the NJ Y. ~ pa.. fix the specific
character of the riot, and show who We're en-
