REMARKABLE RAFT.-A raft of ,000,-
600 feet of lumber recently foated down
the Mississippi river. Its history is a
little remarkable. The timber from
which it was made was cut on Wolf river
in the interior of this State and RATED
down in logs to Oshkosh, on Lake Win
nebago, where it was manufactured into
lumber, then down Fox river. distance
of eighty miles and through Portage Ca.

re-rafted and sent on its way towards
New Orleans. A long and winding way

of General Gilmore's guns of the same

naval officers explain this by the fact that
the projectiles used by the Monitors we're

Union Men in Southern Bastiles.

From rebel sources wo learn officially that
there are now in rebel jails over four hundred
Union men, arrested from every Southern
State, whose only crime is refusal to take up
arms in aid of the rebellion, or love for the
old Gag. Many Of these are from Western
Virginia, ,.and many from Kentucky. Some
are eighty years old, Others less than sixteen.

From the New York Evening Post.
To bo Weak is Miserable.

To THE EDITORS OF THE EVENING Posr:
regret to disagree with you in any partic.
ular but must protest against your dictum
that the copperheadsare worse than hecroak-
crs. Worse they are in intention, but far
behind them in mischief. Open enemies We
can deal Without Heaven save us from the
attacks of weak friends at q moment when
the whole nation is crying out for encourage
ment. The soldiers of the West, headed by
the gallant Rosccrans, and the true democrats
everywhere, are already creating a reaction
against the copperhead element, which will
take care Of them even if the democratic al
lies-thc British aristocracy and the French
Emperor-join hands with them. But you
and all of US must keep up your fire upon the
croakers. Think how every evidence of
strength has electrified our people-how ready
they are to be cheered
|, When Anderson moved into Fort Sumter,
. what q thrill ran through the heart Of the ma.
ton, which would have almost turned the
scale against the conspirators had we then had
tho ninth part Of man in the Presidential
chair. Butler hanged traitor and gave us
new life. Had he shot the few parole-brcak-
ers it might have completed the cure. And
noo Rosecrans promises to punish spies
found in our soldiers uniforms. Let him do
il and it will be worth battle gained to us.
What we want is tone, vigor, boldness.
Mirabeau says that success in the French
National Assembly depended upon raudace,
raudace, touyours iauddee.
When will our government and these lea
dersoi the press learn that the one thing need.
ful to cure our people, or any people who
have free expression or decision-is boldness,
nerve. repeat, then, the croakers do moro
than the copperheads can. and ask you to
continue your FIRE upon them until they be-
come purged and repentant; and upon our
government until il takes such positive tone
as will fairly submergc the croakers.
Yours, "AupAx."

Military Execution at yorktown.

William Dormity and Charles CLARK.

Va, on Tuesday the 2nd inst, for the muir
der Of Hezekiah Stokes. A correspondent
Of the Tribune gives tho following account
Of the event: g o'p 'i' -, ~
"Atl2M. the scaffold was completed and
everything made ready for the cxecution.-
The troops Of the command were drawn up
around the scaffold in the shape Of hollow
square, the 9th New York Cavalry forming
tho guard. Major General Keyoa took o
position with his staff In front Of tho scat
fold. At halfpast IL tho criminals were
brought forth in wagon. escorted by q
squadron of tho 4th Delaware Volunteers,
commanded by Captain Rollstrom, Provost
Marshall Of Yorktown, who acted as execu-
tioner. Arriving at the scaffold, the escort
was formed around it, facing outward. After
somo delay the prisoners %erc led to tho plat.
form, where the findings Of the court and
sentence Of death were read to them. They
were then asked II they had anything to say.
Charles Clark said: Fellow soldiers and
officers, have but few moments to live,
and I do not wish you to look upon me as q
murderer, for never had murder in my
heart Ho told them oil to take warning
by him. He said that ho loved Jesus, and
bade them all good by. William Dormity
said 'Fellow-soldiers and officers, II cutting
killed the man, I did it. He then bid them
oil good.by. A prayer was made. The
black caps were then put on and the spring
touched, when both fell and died without a
struggle. After hanging twenty minutes,
they were taken down and carried of. Both
seemed resigned to their fate. and during
tho whole proceeding were calm and firm

"Not the Lord, but Bursoyno." !"

The Rev. james Gallagher used to tell the
following anecdote with great zest:
During the revolutionary war, reports were
circulated, as they are now, either wholly
false or greatly exaggerated. In passing
from one to another, something was sure to
bc added, until the story would hardly be
known to the author Of It. The people OF
certain sections in New York were in great
CONSERVATION from report that Burgoyne
was marching down from the lakes with an
immense army, and going to sweep over the
whole country, bringing utter desolation to
the inhabitants. An old lady heard the re-
port, and understood It that Burgoyne was
to open the lakes and lot the water out, and
drown the whole region. Full Of the terri
bic vision, she ran toa neighbor's to tell her
the latest news about the war.
"Do you know that wo arc going to be
drownod7 Burgoyno is going toilet the wa
ter out Of the lakes, and make great food,
and we shall all be drowned. Oh! what
shall We do?"
Her neighbor, with more intelligence and
more picty, did not seem to be greatly dis
turbed, but calmly replied: .,.
"That certainly must be mistake. team.
not be true, for God has promised in his
Word that ho will no more destroy the in
habitants OF the earth with food"

BIDDEFoRD, MAINE, FRIDAY MORNING,
would suddenly make his appearance, carry
ing death and terror with him.

.
ing death and terror with him.
Thus he ragged till nearly year had pass
ed. In the fall Of ls45, company Of ad-
venturers on their way to Oregon, discovered
on the open prairies what they supposed to
be wild man. He hovered near them two
or three days, when couple Of them agreed
to capture him. So one morning, they noun.
ted their horses and made dash athim. Ho
was several hundred yards distant; and as
soon as he saw he was pursued, he made of
with the swiftness Of the wind. So feet was
he Of foot, that for long time tho pursucrs,
urging their horses to tho utmost, lost ground
instead Of gaming; but determined to run
him down, and therefore kept up tho chase
for number ofhours. At last he gave out,
and fell to the earth, completely exausted.
Upon their coming up, he gave himself up
without the slightest resistance, and accom-
panied them passively back to the camp.
His captors supposed him to be q wild
man, until one Of their number remarked
that he had seen him in st. Louis. This led
to closer examination, and they soon saw
that he was crazy.
But the most singular part Of his story re-
mains to be told. Ho accompanied his
friends to Oregon, where one day, as he was
wandering throug Oregon City,. he suffered
fall, and in the fall the cicatrizcd wound
upon his forehead was re-opencd. Upon its
healing. his reason returned to him! The
physician who attended him gave it as his
opinion that his alteration had been caused
by a fragment of bone pressing upon the
brain. His fall removed this, and the light
Of reason once more dawned upon him.
After his recovery, Ellis returned to tho
States. He engaged in trapping again,
and continued it until year or two since,
when having amassed quite sum, he settled
down in St. Louis, where as before remark
ed, he died a short time since, having Afford
ed in his history one Of the most singular and
remarkable experiences that ever fell to the
lot Of human being. a.
