AN OUTBREAK AND ITS CAUSE.

On Thursday evening last the quiet of
s. street was broken about midnight
by the cries of "Police! Police!" One of
these faithful guardians Immediately re-
ported in the rear of the block, and from
the third story window a lady's head pro-
jected, and from her the alarm had pro-
ccedcd. The policeman inquired into the
trouble, and was informed that she could
see on the shed fronting on the next street,
a man who was apparently asleep. Other
neighbors who had been attracted by the
noise also said they could see him coiled
up on the shed, and some thought he had
fallen from the window in fit.
The policeman, thinking that it might
be some shrewd burglar who was feignins
lintoxication, scaled the fence, reached the
shed. and there found man rolled up il
travelling shawl sleeping soundly. Af
ter shake or two the man came to hi
senses, and in answer to the policeman
! INQUIRIES as to who he was and what b,
was doing there, replied:
"Why, this is my house and this is m.
shed, and as / have just returned from tn
war, where I've roughed it on the har,
ground for eighteen months, | found
impossible to sleep in bed, and so | jus
took a shake down here. So, sergeant
don't tronble yourself, but just get outsid
my lines"
"What shall we do when this war
over, if our boys intend to conduct them
selves in this way?-Boston Gazette.

loyal sentiments and the treason Of the

ington captured, the President exileds and
the Government destroyed, give M these.

FREE SPEEcH.-Extract from speech
delivered by the Hon. A. G. Riddle,
Republican member of Congress from
Ohio, in February last: 5,
"The freedom of speech is the last fran
chise free people will surrender, and
our millions will exercise it in the midst
of no matter what calamities. They will
discuss the events and management of the
war. 1t is their war, and the humblcst oi
them has an interest in it equal to that Of
the first citizen, and they must and may
discuss his (the President's) acts with ;
free and manly KEN"
That will do for an Abolition Congress
man from Ohio We have no doubt of th'
sincerity of Mr.. Riddle when speaking
for himself. but general principles and ad
mitted truths are universal, and cannot bs
gainsaid. The above should be placed be
fore every abolitionized Republican wh'
sails under the oath bound leagues or sus

A NEW HERO

Gen. Burnside is at last a herol Foiled
at Fredericksburg, he has conquered in
Kentucky. Obeying the mandates of bis
masters at Washington, he took such
measures during the recent election in
that State, as to secure what is called and
rejoiced over by the Abolition press as q
Republican victory. The moment he pro-
claimed martial law in Kentucky his de-
signs were made plainly manifest: and no
one who had any respect for liberty or law
failed to regard with utter contempt the
disgraceful operations of this miserable
tool of faithless and imbecile Admins
tration. He has at length won a battle
and he should at once be promoted for his
brilliant services. It is to be hoped thai
his late success will not turn topsy turyy
the small quantity of brains that were lefl
him after he dashed gallant army agains
the iron walls of Fredericksburg.-Pha

PeriIOMs Adventure--D
ate Courage of a Lady.

The Alta Californian narrates an in
stance of perilous adventure and re-
markable courage of lady, formerly
from this vicinity, and the story has been
confirmed by private letter from sis
ter of the lady, written from Denver City
to her friends in this city.
The heroine is Mrs. Gerrish, formerly
Miss Fannie Miles, daughter of Mr.. A.
FL. Miles, who some years since lived in
Newburg, but who has moved his family
to Denver City. The husband of the
lady lives in Oregon, and she was on her
way to re?oin him after visit to her
friends in the Atlantic States. About
the middle of May, she, with her baby,
was travelling in the Overland Mail stage
coach, between Denver and San Francis
co. The only persons composing the
party were herself and baby inside the
coach, and one passenger and the driver
on the front seat.
About eight miles out from Carson
Station, the stage was attacked by Indi-
ans, who fred into it, killing the two men
on the outside. The passenger fell off
the coach, but the driver tumbled back
on the seat, quite dead, but retaining his
hold on the lines and whip
The horses dashed off wildly, and the
indians continued to fire at the coach, the
bullets passing through and through it,
but providentially not touching Mrs. Ger
rish or her child With extraordinary
courage and self-possession Mrs. Gerrish
hid the child under the seat, covering it
up with cushions to protect it from the
LII Tha- L. LII 90 L.
coach to the drivers seat-though how
this was safely accomplished amid the
whistling of bullets and the mad plum
ging of the frightened horses, seems mys-
terious. Taking the reins and whip
from the cold and stiffened hands Of the
dead driver, she got the horses under
control, aud drove them about mile
when one of them fell dead from loss o.
blood.
Here seemed crisis in her fate. Jump
| ing down from the seat, she commenced
cutting loose one of the surviving horses
with the purpose of monntiug it and gal
Looping off with her baby. She had near
ly accomplished her task when the East
ern coach came up over the hill, and tn,
driver seeing the struggling horses and :
woman among them whipped up his team
and drove rapidly to her relief. TIL,
. coach that came up was full of men, anc
the Indians retreated. Mrs. Gerrish wa
taken back to the station from which sh'
had come, There she begged the agen
to send her forward with an escort, bu
he did not dare do it, as it was agains
positive orders. Finding after awhile
that she was the wife of Free Mason
the agent, who was himself Mason, sal,
he would give her a proper escort if h
swung for it, and thus she reached Sa
Francisco in safety, and afterward joine
her husband in Oregon.-Clcveland He,
IL .

momentous are these questions, for until
that shall have been accomplished. there
can be neither Constitution nor Union,
and no security and no quiet in the land;
nor can single soldier, till then, return
to mother, or wife, or child, or home.
Reason together, then, men of Ohio, and
judge wisely, ye who love your country,
and would restere it to its former peace
prosperity and glory. Continual war and
strife are the forbidden fruits of our polit-
ical Eden, and bear still the primal curse,
uttered in tones louder than the voice OF
the mighty cataract in whose presence ]
now write-"In the day that thou eatest
thereof thou shalt surely die

THE pRAFT-ITs Policy. 1t requires
about 80, 900 men to make the present
draft all over the country--enrolling on
GERS, assistants, boards of examinatien.
&c., and SO on. These cost the Goveru-
ment, in salaries, about eight times the
amount paid to soldiers. Multiply 30.-
900 by s and we have 240. .000-or, IN
other words, the means to pay 24o, 900
common soldiers, as long as the army Of
enrolling and drafting officers, with their
assistants, are continued in Office. In adj
dition to this expense in carrying on the
draft the Provost Marshals have guards" !"
and more than $4,000 C Invalid Soldiers"
are distributed over the country to aid in
enforcing the draft. Most of these are
able bodied soldiers, fit for duty in the
field. 1t is evident that the, cost Of the
draft, with the Provost Guards, 10 oqual
to the pay of an army of 300, ,0o0 men
Through the present year, at lesst. !. In
deed, the soldiers distributed threugh tie
free States, excel in number, We believe,
the whole force that the Government vii
raise by the draft. The policy OF The
draft does not appear to be . remarkably
wise one, when we consider its cost and
!. the number of soldiers withdrawn hsu
the army to enforce it.-Haryord 7s'nes
