An Equestrian lEar1iaga.

Ay old squire had started out carly
one morning, with his cradle on his
shoulder, for the wheat field Just as he
had reached it, a elattoripg of loos caus-
ed him to tun round. Close beside him,
on foamlng horses. we're a young man ard
woman with faces as red as peoniez.
Refining in their steeds, the man cried
out
Be you the squire -
am.
Wal, we've been up to your house, and
your Old woman told Us you'd gone down
to this road, and said she thought we'd
catch you if we tried hard. You see,
squire, Sallie, here, and I want to get
married, and we're il. somethm' of hur-
.ry cause We want to go to Syracuse, and
get home afore night
Very we'll, said the old man; turn
back to the house, III be there soon.
Couldn't you do it iist as well out
here? You see we're in .sopethin' Of q
hurry
Yes, I suppose I can. Get of, and

Won't it be jist as strong on horse

The young man did so, and then and

the stump Of his pipe in one hand, his
MILESTONE in the other, clad iuhomespun
overalls and frOek, the squire perform
ed the ceremony.

the Soldiers Aid Society in that village.
He has handed over all the fruit Of his
apple orchard, five acres IN extent, to the
ladies Of the Society, who have already
commenced gathering, pairing and drying
the fruit. Nothing is more welcome to
the men in the field than dried iruit,
and persons who have orchards would do
well to initiate the example Of this Illi-

When TINS Cruel War, Is OYER
We shall rejoice greatly when this
cruel war is over We shall also rejoice
when people get over singing and whis-

tquite a list Of once popular melodies that

now in the wheezings Of deeaysd hand

For centuries, Luna, the empress Of
night performed her duties with regu-
larity, and no one thought Of prompting
her; but a time came when everybody
was exhorting her with more or less dis.
.cOrdaney and pathos to "Roll on, Silver
Moon, etc, as though she didn't know
enough to roll on when she ought to. A
sort of musical lunaey oyerspread the en-
tire community, but it passed, and the
silver moon rolled on the same as before,
continuing the thankless and unremo-
neratire task Of guiding the "traveler
on his way, unmindful whether the
" nightingale's song is in tue or not.
There was time when the Old
Folks at Home" couldn't enjoy the
quiet and rePOse which age 50 impern-

that melody being over, they slept we'll.

Russian Emancipation.

A DBcrTEEN Of land measures nearly
three acres. This quantity has been fer
many years selling in Russia from three
to ten roublos, according 70 quality. The
serfs DO not in law belong to the Barons
! personally, but the land does; and as the
I serfs we're, by imperial edict, long ago
made fixtures on the land, so By e curl
GUS fashion, whoever possessed the land
I possessed the serfs or souls on it. AL
though not slaves by name, they are re-
ally as much slaves any African negroes
are the property Of any American plant
ers. Now, the emancipation edict sewers
that connection totally. a serf is no
longer a fixture on his masters land He
is no longer a serf, but free man. He
can 60 where he likes. The land is the
baron's, but these now free people must
live on it or buy it. The edict, there
fore, cnjOins that a certain portion Of it,
five or six deciteens, shall be sold to each
male peasant, and fer this he may pay
the baron fifteen roubles for each deei-
teen. The general price Of land in the
market being Gas am informed} not one
half Of this sum, the price seems to be. a
fair one, involving compensation; so on
this head the barons would seem to have
little cause to complain. But as the
peasants are poor, it is 6ecreed that they
are to have nine years to pay it in, at a
stipulated sum per annum. Or if the
baron be willing-and, indeed, whether
he be willing or not-the serfs in Will
{ age may borrow money from the State,
by becoming security for each other, and
pledging their land, to pay the baron off
at once. Thus they can become immedi-
ately and wholly Independent, with the
State for their only creditor, while the
baron obtains the whcrewith to farm his
own remaining lands, Butsucb arrange

Of poor barons, the State has further de.
creed a large sum to be expended in
loans for long time, at low interest, on

baronial prOprietoys. Such, with some
other arrangements of less moment, are
the terms Of the famous emancipation
ediot now at last in force.

Mo- Credit to the Administration.

We give no credit to the Administration at
Warrington that Vicksburg has fallen. Ga the
contrary, had Its designs been carried out,
probably the place would never have fallen. IL
10 well understood that when, several weeks ago,
Adiutant-G eneral Thomas left Washington for
the region OF war on the Mississi ppi, he bore an
order Of the President supefseding Gen Grant
BY the appointment of Gen. McClernand TO the
c0mmsd of the army In that quarter, and that
the order was not executed because Adjutant-
General Thomas discovered that its execution
would be erepugnant 10 the Officers and dishear.-
ening and demoralizing TO the soldiers, whose
attachmen' to and confidence In General Grant
were 90 great as their dislike OF Gener i
McClernand was confirmed and ineradicable.
1t is extraordinary that the Administration
did not persist In It's purpose of supersedure,
notwithstanding the discovery by Adjutant-Gen-
eral Thomas as to the prospective consequences
OF persistence, for It 10 not the habit OF toe Ad-
ministration 10 let any consideration OF success
or defeat in military operations stand In the way
OF its political operations. General Grant had
not been remiss In his military duties; on the
contrary, he had performed them with skill
| aud energy which had not recently been known
| In any other military department. But he was
supposed to be unsound on the negro. he was
supposed not to have embraced and admired the
political policies Of the war. To be sure, like
| la,tsue military man, he had refrained from pub.
fishing his opinions He eobeyed orders, but was
inclined to enjoy his own sentiments. He might
have set himself right with the Administration

The Abolition Scheme for DissOlving
the Union.

ne SCneme LOT DISSOIVIHS
the Union.
The Abolition scheme for dissolvinR the
Union and establishing the Southern Confeder-
scy, has received new illustration in Mr..
Conway's proposition to Mr.. Mason to stop the
war, through the Influence OF the AbOlitionists,
If the South would abolish slavery. The de-
nuncistion of the Constitution as league with
hell; the burning OF il at Framington by Abo-
ltionists; the avowal by Phillips that he had
labored nineteen years TO effect disunion; the
proclamation OF Wade, many years ago, that
the Union was already divided; the Willingness
expressed to "let it slide;" the declaration BY
Seward In 1860, that there was an irrepressible
conflict between the North and the South; the
circulation of this very Conway paper by
Charles Sumner under his frank, all prove that
Conway truly represented the feelings of the
Abolition Republicans when he avowed they
we're willing to become peace party and sac.
ri6ce the Union If the South would emanc.
pate their slaves This doctrine, az this mo-
ment, the Aboltionists think unpopular TO
avoW, generally, and hence they deny Con-
ways authority to act as their ambassador;
but this is an old trick of the Abolition Re.
pubicans. IL was through their efforts Hooker
was appointed Burnsids's successor. The AL
toona Convention was warmly in hia favor, If
not called to secure his promotion; when Gov.
ernor Andrew returned from tlaI. famous as.
semblage he said that Hooker Was the man to
be placed at the head OF the Potomac army;
now they turn and rend Hooker as pack OF
wolves turn upon one OF their wounded, and
are ready to destroy him. So with COnway-he
proves TOO clumsy to hide the treason he was
commissioned to perpetrste, and his Abolition
fellows deny him with all the vehemenCe Of ex-
posed trsachery and cowardioe. But Conway
will stick to them like the shrt OF Nessus-
they cannot shuttle him off as easily as they
hope, for his proposition Ia consistent with their
whole conduct. We have heard that Charles
Sumner said, when the South was making its
final preparation to separate, in reply to the
question II he thought the Southern Ssates re-
ally intended to leave the Uaion, that they not
only intended to leave but would be compelled
to leave II they did not 90 of their own accord
Mr.. Greeley has avoWed his willingness to see
the Union divided upon certain contingencies,
which have been realized, and the New York
Times said, this weak, that "the Confederate
States need no recognition of their Govern
ment, as it is q fait aceOmph--a fixed fact,
whether We recognizes it or not" Why dont
they own up, like men, aud not try to make a
'scape goat of Conway Post.
