1r~cul1rritles os tne PeeuIlnr Hnstitusfon.
The army correspondence the Conansr-
e,ak vHaiak from Lake PrOvidebcs, La,
thus refers to some Of the peculiarities Of
peculiar institutions;
On largo plantation, near Lake frovl-
depce. there lives wealthy Southerner
named Gcvey Hood. Mr.. Hood, though
unmarried Is oot minated. He lives in a
state bordering, as he thinks, on connubial
bliss. with qnadroon for whom he had
paid 81, 500 10 New Orleans. Two intelli-
Rent looking, black.eyed, black girls,
one Of them about nineteen years OF age,
the other about sixteen, are the fruits Of
this "union." BY the laws Of the State, in
nuch cases, tho children take their status
from the mother, so that the two girls arc
once Mr.. Hoods daughters and bis slaves,
and he boasts that il this abolition war
we're not in progress, be could get $4,000
apiece for them. Mr.. Hood is looked upon
MS the true type Of a Southern gentleman
His wealth is go great that bis moral short
comings are entirely overlooked, and be is
received into tho best society Of the parish
as one worthy of acceptance.
0 In the 18th Ohio Regiment their is 8
man who was taken, as a runaway slave
into our lines 10 Tennessee, a few months
ago. His complexion and features denote
Anglo-Saxon origin, rs pure as there is 10
any State, North or South, to-day. Hisskir
Is fair, his eyes blue, his lips thin, and his
hair light. His Tennessee "master" admit
ted to Colonel Legget, of the 18th, tha
there was not drop Of African blood il
the veins Of his "slave." He bought hin
in Richmond, Kentucky, several years age
and says he was sold into slavery out o
some charitable institution to which he ha'
been committed as q vsgrant. The maj
himself appears TO know nothing OF hi
paFentage or origin. He can. neither rea'
nor write, and only knows that he is yer
glad to have escaped from bondage. Thi
is the clearest case on record OF a whit
man being sold into slavery. The man
now an enlisted soldier in the T6th, an'
the officers of the regiment say be is
faithful and worthy man.

From East Tennessee-Rebel Movements.
Parsou Brownlow has arrived in Cinein-
natl and states that the rebels have concen-
trated all the infantry formerly in East
Tennessee at and near Tullahoma, while
the cavalry made diversion into Kentucky,
hoping to withdraw force from Rosecrans
to protect that State. Reinforcements are
arriving in the West from the rebel army
in Virginia, daily. His information was
derived from East Tennesseeans who had
just reached tho headquarters Of General
Rosecrans.
Parson Brownlow vouches for the relia-
bility of the following daring and success
ful exploit:
Captain Sawyers, Of the Sd East Ten
nessee, under Gen. Rosecrans, left Murfrees-
boro about three weeks ago for his native
county Of Knox, and after mastering up six
recruits, armipg them with revolvers, was
attacked by twenty-five Rebel cavalry, when
they took refuge in house, held their po-
sition, killed six Of the rebels, and dispersed
the remaining nineteen, bringing off his re-
cruits, with one slightly wounded. / know
the Captain well, and know him to be reli
able. He passed on yesterday to his regi.

HON. JOHN WARNER

Came into Cambridge in 1901, from
Sturbridge Massachusetts, with change
of clothes in handkerchief. and thirty
FIVE cents in money. He worked out u
year, and bought three acres of land of
Nathaniel Read. and fitted up small
tannery and shop, and kept steady to
work at his business, adding to his estate.
After while be married daughter Of Ma
thanicl Read. and she also was industrious
and prudent, so he built small wood
house. After he got so he could have a
better house, he built, in 1880, large
brick house. Having enlarged his bust
ness, he employed many men on his farm
and in his shop and tannery. In Novem-
Der, 1882, his shop was burnt with all its
contents, but was rebuilt the following
summer, and he kept up the boot and
shve business until within few years,
when, being at an advanced age, he re-
tired from business.
He has been in the House. and Senate
of the Vermont Legislature for many
years. After Lamoille County was form.
ed, he was one Of its Judges for mum
Der of years.
In the war of 1912, he took his CUR
and served in the campaign In Angus
1862. he was the first to pay soldiers fo
eulisting to put down this rebellion. H,
said he was old, but the money they coule
have if they would only go. He was be
nevolent, and helped the needy.
He raised family of children up t.
men and women.
! On the first day of this month, he wen
to rest, at the age of SO, and was burie,
beside his wife, who died many years ago

4 Next came the steamboat. and though
last is not the least. From the tree of
which its keel is made have gathered
sap for sugar. But the influence in re-
viving business in the Magog valley, to
the greatest extent hitherto, is due to the
perseverance and energy of Capt. Fogg
for the achievement-and he knows how
much he is indebted to the people for their
cooperation in his favorite project Its
history is familiar to all; it has gone on
{" swimmingly" ever since, with very few,
if any, serious accidents.
| envy to the people of Newport the
pleasure that they will have on that glad
day that is coming, and | wish could be
there, when the steamboat and railroad
whistles will greet each other. and send
their shrill echoes among the hills and
bays of Magog valley. No village in
Northern Vermont holds so enviable
position prospectively as Newport. May
her expectations be fully realized, and
may she fulfill what may be expected of
her in her literary, moral and religious
progress, is the earnest prayer of her we'll
wisher and friend.

Ga DR.. Powers showed us on Monday
last, ball which he recently took from
the back of Clinton Wolcott, of Nor
ristown, one of the nine months men, re-
turned. The ball was of cast iron, and
seemed to be one of several cast together,
the rough corners being still on it. 1t
came from shell that exploded near
where he was lying on his face, near Fred
ricksburg, in July last. The ball was
taken out about ten inches from the place
of entrance, about half an inch from the
surface.

ca We clip the following from the
Argus aud Patriot of last week. The
writer seems to draw considerable conso-
lation from the result of the late election.
We are glad he thinks there is hope of
the safety of the Constitution. We must
say, however, if the democracy have done
anything lately for the salvation of that
instrument, we don't see it:
sr HYDE PARK, Sept. 5, 1868.
Mr.. Editor:-The election passed off
very quietly here-Mr. Noyes, democrat,
being elected on the first ballot. The
democratic State ticket received MAORI
ty of the votes from the town, an extraor-
binary gain on last year, when Smalley re-
ceived only As, while Red6eld this year
received l4l. There was falling off on
the republican vote from that of last year
The county isalso marching on" There
were only "A democratic votes polled last
year--this year 400 That we think
considering, as doing very well. The PEG.
pie of "Spunky Lamoille" are beginning
to open their eyes to the fact that, in or.
der to maintain the Union the sacredness
OF the Constitution must be Observed. VIZ
all feel encouraged as to the result of tn,
election throughout the State. 1t is bet
ter than we had dared to hope for.

Messrs. Editors Of the Free Press In an arti.
Gle on elections, in the Sentinel of yesterday.
the editor says:
1--WE may well congratulate ourselves at the
showing Of such towns as Hyde Park, Cam
BRIDGE DC. Is
Last year J. E. Gates. Democrat was elected
representative in this town by majority OF q
votes, over E. Wheeock, Republican. This year
H. D. watkins. Republican, is elected by ma
jority of 81, over James l.. Whitcomb. Democrat.
What there is in this showing" for the De-
mocracy to congratulate themselves on, ain I'M
able to see-rather "cold comfort" imagine.
sG# l .H' Yours, &C., s.
P. S.-Majority for Baxter, so.
The Democrats are welcome to whatever
of consolation they can find in thc'result
of the election in this town. Every
dog has his day." and with such leaders
as Volney Hadley, their county commit
tee-man for this town, who openly de-
clares that President Lincoln is an out
law, and with such national champions as
Gov. Seymour and vallaudigham, their
day must soon end in the darkness of the
fate all deserve who refuse to give their
aid to the government in its efforts to sup
press this wicked rebellion. They cannot
be blind to the fact that the rebels of the
South claim them as friends to their cause,
and that one reason why they are so per-
sistent in their treason, is that they hope
they may be able to hold out till the next
presidential election, and that the demo
Gratis may succeed in electing a president
who will let them alonev' Birds of a
feather flock together" If they like their
company, let them rejoice!

UEIoN VIcroRx IN Troy TowNsmR-The
Union men in Troy township made splendid
fight and achieved a glorious victory last Mon
day, electing their entire ticket by majorlties
ranging from ten TO fifteen. The township
has always been very close, and the result
doubtful. On this occasion their opponents
attempted to steal a march on the Union men,
by secretly meeting and nominating a ticket
which they hoped to run in without exciting
suspicion. Their plan did not succeed, how
ever. The Union men got. wind of what was
going on-nominated strong ticket-reselv-
ed TO elect it-went TO work in earnest, and
came out victorious. The vote was the largest
ever poled in the township, there being. it is
said, but two voters within its limits who were
not got to the polls.

THE uoRTIcULTURIsT for April is Illustrated
with a magnificent cluster of the Delaware
grape, printed in coIors. 1t is an exact re-
production of the fruit as taken from vine
grown onthe grounds of AIR. Mace of New
burg, N. Y, and is given as fair represen-
talive bunch of the Delaware when grown on
matured wood" In size of bunch aud berry
ii will compare with well grown cluster Of
the Catawba and certainly when such
punches can be grown there is little cause to
complain of the Delaware because of its small
size. 1t makes a beautiful appearance as
shown in the plate, though we do not think
the coloring does justice to the fruit when in
perfection, which is doubtless attributable to
The difficulty of transferring to paper by the
art of printing in cOlors such delicate tints as
characterize the Delaware. In closing his no
tice of the engraving, Mr.. MEAD, the Editor
than whom there is no better horticultural
authority in the country, says: "Our epin-
ion remains unchanged, that, for the table and
for wine, it is the best grape now before The
public"
The Horticulia' ist is a magazine worthy
the support of all who are imbued with rura
/ tastes, and we do not see how Que devoted to
Horticultural pursuits can get along without il
we certainly could not. Terms So pei
