INFLUENCE OF WoMAN.-I do not hesi-
tate to say that the women give TO every
nation moral temperament which shows
itself in its politics. A hundred times have
/ seen weak men show real public virtue
because they had by their sides women who
supported them not by advice as to particu-
lars, out by fortifying their feelings of duty,
and by directing their ambition. More fre-
quently. | must confess, have observed
the domestic influence gradually transform
ing man, naturally generous. noble and
unselGsh, into cowardly, commonplace.
place hunting selEseeker, thinking of public
business only as means of fmaking himself
comfortable, and .his simply by contact
with a wel-conducted woman, faithful
wife, an excellent mother, but from whose
mind the grand notion of public duty was
entirely absent.--De 1ocquertAe.

boxes, under the direction of the foreman,
pretty well all day; but when his tedious
ten hours had rolled around, the foreman
politely informed him that our excellent

AN ANCIENT CoPPERHEAD SiLENCED
BY WASHINGTON IRviNG.-Irving was de-
scending the Hudson on the steamboat
when the tidings of the triumphant entry
of the British into Washington, and the
acts of uncivilized hostility which followed,
first reached him. 1t was night, and the
passengers had betaken themselves TO their
setees to rest, when person came on
board at Poughkeepsie with the news of
the inglorious triomph, and proceeded In
thu darkness of the cabin TO relate the par
tiedlars the destruction of the Presi-
dents house, the. treasury. war and navy
Offices, the capitol, the depository Of the ma
tional library and public records. There
was momentaiy pause after the speaker
| had ceased, when some paltry spirit lifted
his head from his settee, and III tone ot
ts5m plaeent derisiou :. wondered what JIM
nv Madison would say now" Sir" said
Mr. Irving, glad of an escape TO his swell
| ing Indignation, "do you seize on such a
disaster only for a sneer? Let me tell
you, sir, it is not question about Jimmy
Madison or Jimmy Armstrong. The pride
and honor of the nation are sounded; the
county is insulted and disgraced by the
barbarous success, and every loyal citizen
should feel the ignominily and be earnest
10 avenge it," . / could not see the fellow"
said Mr. Irving, " but | let fly AT him in
The dark" A murmur OF appreciation fol-
lowed the outburst, and then every ear was
listening for the reply, but the energy of
the rebuke had cowed the spokesman, for
he did not again raise his voice.-.Life and

ten feet of the bottom when he fell from the

Who WAS the Goose !!

In Harpers' drawer we find the following
I" Goose story: A bashful gentleman of
Holly Springs, Mississippi, took a violent
+" hankering after fair seamstress Of the
town; and after great deal of hesitation,
finally brought his courage up 10 the stick
ing point, and made an evening cali on the
lady, He found her busiIy engaged at her
work, pressing # a garment with a tailors'
goose. She, however, received him cour-
teously, and continued her work. A bevy
of the seamstress's female friends dropped
in few minutes after our heoric friend had
subsidized into silence, for he found it abso-
iutely impossible TO maintain a conversation
with the lady. The sudden entrance of the
visitors, instead of rel, living, only added to
his embarrassment, and he sat in silence un-
Ill his own situation became painful 10 all,
but to none more than himself. All efforts
10 draw him into conversation proved abor-
live, and it became matter of serious con-
cern 10 the ladies how to relieve his en-
barrisment without a catastrophe for he
was well known to all Of them as gentle
man OF great worth, baShfulness being his
only fraility. The seamstress finally got
thorugh with her work, and called out to
the negro man in the kitchen:
John r'
The door opened, and stout, burly negro
stuck his head through the door, and said:
.. / is here, Missus."
"John, viii you take this goose out 2"
Our bashtnl friend sprang 10 his feet in
an instant. and exclaimed:
81 beg your pardon, Madam, for intrud-
ing on you, but Il 90 out myselfw
Auo Ucfoi e the asdy eeula ssepte;u he,
nearing to him, he had gathered his ha
and made his exit. which was followed b.
the frantic yelIs of the girls. ] am sorry t,
add that that little misunderstanding mad

SketcheS.---NO. g.

Jacksonville was named some thirty years
ago, during the reign of Andrew jackson,
Its first Pos;-Master, was true democrat
of the Jackson school, and discharged tho
duties of his office without trucking in par-
ty politics. And till within the last ten
years the Post Office was kept where, and
by whom the public interest could be best ac-
coinodated, without regard 10 party pro-
cIivities. But soon after the election Of
Frank. Pierce to the Presidency, the otflca
of Post Master was made a matter of bar
gain and sale in the political market, not
only in this village but ull through this Sec
tion; and during his. and Buchanan's
reign, Hyrnm Atkins and some others Of
the same ilk, adopted what they termed the
needing out !" process, by which every one
in any way connected with Fedel al office,
must be forthwith decapitsted unless he
would swear 4 egience to Buchanan de-
mocracy, and throw the whole strength
of his influence for the scheme of extending
the rule Of slavery into Kansas and all
the territories of the United States.
This village was doomed by this " sOeed-
ing" open alton TO so into rusty old kitchen
for their mail, and have the Post-Ofics
kept for two or three years by worthless
demagogue. The present social and NOR
al condition Of the Ilace, if truly delin-
;
Gated, would form an interesting chapter.
| But the business operations are what We
design to speak Of, at this time. There
are two taverns, both doing good busi-
ness in the % ltraband line three stores,
each doing business different from the
other two. n. L. Sietson has general
assortment of all kinds of goods usually
kept at country stores; Z. z. Hitchco k,
turns attention more particularly to. dress
and millenery goods, together with grocer
les; while L. l.. Roberts deals exclusively
in clothing and gentlemen's furnishing goods.
He is the present Post Master, and his
store is central and convenient place for
the people to get their mail. ~
: There are three blacksmitls; two cars
penters, three carriage, and one harness
maker all of whom do as good work, in
their line as can be found at any other
: place, One carpenter has water power
. and planning mill connected with his shop,
and mant iaciures and deals in doors and
windows; also keeps ready made coffins.
: There is one grist, and one saw-pll, each
doing an extensive business; and two otl-
er saw-mills that do something in the lumber
: line. There is also manufacturer OF
grain cradles, whose work for pattern, style
. and finish cannot be beat. There are three
> > shoemakers in the village, and the exten-
sive and well known Tannery of Perley
Starr, is located near its centre, and fur
nishes constant employment for some fifteen
: hands, and ready cash market for large
: amount of farmers produce, besides the
immense quantities of wood and bark annu,
l. ally consumed. 1t is indeed the nucleus Of
: the business interests of the place.
Of the physical appearance Of the village
e habits of the people &c, we may haye occa
q sion 10 speak in future.

MURDER AND RETALIATIoN,-The St
Joseph Herald of the 2lst ult., gives the
following description of the operation of mob
law at Atchison, Kansas, from the relation
of an eyewitness -
"An old man was recently murdered
named Kelsey. Some ten or twelve men
have been arrested for the crime, some of
whom have been hung by the citizens OF
Atchison. Tuesday afternoon about forty
of the Atchison people were in the street.
accompanying cart containing two men.
The cart was driven abou: quarter of a
miie from the town, and hailed under an
elm tree. The two men were pinioned, two
ropes were tied to limb of The tree, and
the men were abo9t to be launched into
eternity. when a gentleman put a motion TO
the crowd, which by that time numbered
about one hundred nd fifty, that the pris-
oners be allowed ten minutes in which 10
say whatever they desired.
This motion was sustained by the citizens,
and an old man arose from the cart and re-
lated all the facts connected with the mur-
der of Kelsey, insisting that he was forced
to 90 with the gang which murdered him,
and that he was innocent of all intention 10
murder. AT the close, resolution was of
fered that the hanging of be postponed to
/ Saturday, and that new trial be granted
to the old man. The culprit whose name
was Mooney, was crying bitterly, but one,
half of The crowd cried Hang him ! hang
lhimp while others cried, Take him off. =
The crowd rushed to the cart, and carried
off the old man, and finally got him back tc
Jail. The young man, cCariy,was prompt
ly swung up-never having been tried foi
the crime. Mooney escaped to Missouri
few days ago. but was captured and carried
back to Atchison Monday night.
AS our informant was leaving Atchison
the citizens were holding another meetlns
in the streets at which it was resolved t'
hang Mooney, and the crowd bad rushed t
The Jail 10 carry out the resolution. Thes'
are terrible times.

In cur telegraphic dispatches may be found
an order Of Col. Richardson, the rebel guar.
rilla chief Of Tennessee, and who, next to
John Morgan has more stains Of innocent
blood on his perdition bound soul, than any
other man in tho world.
This order may be justi6ajle on the same
ground that the rebellion is justified, but on
no other, which amounts to no justification
at all. But the savage, barbarous, hcllish
instructions for the enforcement of the order
is in advance Of the most subtle invention
Of his Satanic majesty in all the past. It
outstines the savage Indians of the North

the refined cruelty Of these Eastern Princes
Of torture, Of whose cruelty to prisoners and
subjects We have read of in works on the
East. 1t can be excclled only by the incar
nate fiendish minds that originated it.
Tho following are the orders given to the
officers charged with enforcing the order E:
If man. shall absent himself from homo
