Brlnlou, Of the forks of Branlywine, aged sc
years She was one OF those truly good, noble

always seeking opportunities for the exercise OF
henevolence. and to increase the happiness of
others She wns an especial favoriie Of young
persons, who in her society found cheerfulness
instruction and balm for every sorrow. AS u
wife she was an example to tho world, loving,

make her husband and her home happy as a
sster aud relative she was beloved BY all who
knew her, To all she was courteous u thnse
with whom She dealt or whom she employed she
was just, liberal and eonsidernte, without oston-
talon she did what she cOnctiv' ii to be her duty
conselentiousy which encrclel her character
with halo Of christian purity seldom attained ;
~ an exemphr of coujugal faithfulness and

She has suffered from i'll health for many years,
which she bore with hut little complaint. As a

!. SMALL MEAsuRn oR JusrIcn.

The Philadelphia North american of yester
day published the testimony of Capts. Dray
ton and Worden respecting the inability of
the iron.clads to renew the attack upon
Charleston, under Admiral DuPoNr, and the
editor of that paper ventures au apparently
reluctant defence of the Admiral, in Just sir
lines of editorial. After the numerous and
uncalled-for filings and innuendoes of that
paper, at the bravery and earnestness of
Admiral DUPoNT before Charleston, one
would suppose that more extended article
correcting the injustice done to the Admiral,
would have found its way cheerfully into the
columns of the North American. But no
matter. Admiral DuPoNT has, with his vic
torious sword, carved his name and fame as
bold, brave, and courageous soldier, too
deeply upon the pages of his country's his
tory, to be ever erased or furnished by the
dash of goose quill, whether welded by
malice, self-interest, envy, or whatever else
may prompt it to its ungenerous, unmanly
unnecessary employment

he served in the Legislature, and was, in 1874.
elected TO Congress, serving for two terms, voting
in $40 for the admission of Texas.
In the National Democratic Convention. in
1878, he nominated Mr. Cass for the Presidency
From that time forward he was leader of the
extreme Southern party, always advocating
States Rights, and favoriug secession. lie was
among the seeding delegates to the Charleston
Convention, and subsequently, warmly advocated
the election Of Breckiurdge
lie was among the principal originators of the
rebellion, and, as a member of the Alabama Con
vention, reported the ordinance of secession
which was passed January H. 1861.
In February following he was sent TO Europe
to present the claims of the rebels to recognition

Of last year he came home and entered the rebel

ALL HAIL KENTUCKY.

The State election took place in Ken
lucky on Monday last, and the people true
TO the teachings of Henry Clay, have de-
clared in the most emphatic manner in favor
of sustaining the Administration in putting
down this infamous rebellion. The Union or
Republican ticket as it was called by the
copperhead papers, has swept the State.
Bramlettc, candidate for Governor is elected
by twenty thousand majority. In all the
congressional districts, except that south of
the Cumberland river, which has been oc-
cupied by the rebel army, and where the
elective franchise was destroyed, the Union
candidates are elected to Congress Thus
has Kentucky boldly declared in favor of
the great principle OF emancipation, and the
liberal policy adopted by the present Ad-
mnlstration. Delaware will respond in
tones OF thunder next fall to her sister in
support of freedom, by electing a good Union
man to represent her in the next Congress
in place of Hon. W. Temple deceased.
Kentucky will soon take her place among
the free States of the Union. Traitors may
pollute her soil with the tread OF their armed
hosts, the cohorts of rebellion may use every
effort to keep herin the thraldom of slavery,
but the glorious result just achieved proves
conclusiyely that bright epoch is dawnug
upon that State, and that ere long every man
claiming her protection will enjoy that free
dom which is the inalienable right of all
men.

A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.


4 DEAD AND BURIED SOLDIER TURNS UP ALIVE,
The Detroit Tribune Of the 18th instant, nnr-
rates the following story
"a case Of mistaken identity hns been brought
to our notice, the result Of which has created n
thrill ofjoy to m afflicted mother, and Mt the
same time shows how easily il is for one to be
mistaken. ln March last, Mrs. Julia Esmond,
Of Parma, Jackson county, in this State, receiy.
ed letter from Capt Soule, Of Co. l., Sixth
Michigan Infantry, announcing the death OF her
SON, Edward V. Esmond. The letter adds;
1.-The Surgeon informs me that he was buried
in IL beautiful spot, by "A kind old lady and her
daughter, the grave covered with cgergreens
and II nice head-board hearing his mime, age
md residence, together with the regiment und
company"
Young Esmond, the identical person alluded
to Ia this letter as having been buried arrived in
Detroit n fey days ago, and reported for duty at
the barracks.
"As soon AZ Mrs. Esmond received the letter
announcing the death of her son, she sent it Ia
Captain Robinson, commanding the barracks,
with the solicitation that he should make the
necessary Inquiries into the case, and, if posi-
bic, mid her in obtaining his remains, sc. Cnp-
tain Robinson broke the seal, adjusted his spec
tacles mud read the letter. While engaged IN
reading, young man-apparently stranger
walked mp to him, and with hat in hand awaited
his leisure. As soon as he had completed read
ing, the young man accosted him with ARE you
the commander of this post? p Il am, said the
Captain. Then wish to report for duty said
the stranger, 4 am from the Sixth Michigan, and
having just at this moment arrived from my repi-
meht, desiIe 10 be sent back az soon as you
may have detachment of men ready 10 90
there Upon being asked his name he told il.
The Captain informed bin of the contents of the
letter which he held in his hand The Young
man assured the commandant that he was the
identical Edward " Esmond, aud desired a pass
to visit his mother The necessary documents
we're Of course granted, and he started for his
home The story us stated by him, is that he
was engaged in skirmish, but having got
separated from his regiment he wandered about
In the marshes for some days. Il rebel force
cutting him of from rejoining his comrades.
After remaining out for some time he obtained
transportation to New Orleans From that place
he took passage on some steamer to New York,
arriving in Detroit as above stated, when, like a
true soldier he delivered himself up to the com
mandant at the barracks. This be did, too, be-
fore he visited his mother"
