From one I love, my life's sole guiding star.

Yourself you loose the chains of love from me,
Pronounce me free-and iii gives me pain,
What's that to thee?

To others thod art kind, though not to me;
Though all my joy be bnt cheating mask,

Greeley proposes to try 1T only
at5a Three a1OsAfhss Longer.

The New York Tribune, Greeley's paper,
and the most influential Republican paper in
the country, in a late editorial says:
"1f three months more earnest fighting shall
not serve to make serious impression on the
rebels-if the end of that term shall find us
no further advanced than las beginning-if
some malignant Fate has decreed that the
blood and treasure of the nation shall ever be
squandered in fruitless efforts-let US bow to
our destiny, and make the best attainable
peace" s 30
Three months will put the matter through
by the 1st of May. Certainly, by that time
We shall have been long enough engaged in
the effort to whip the South into the Union ;
but We are willing that the Administration
shall take few months longer say to the LIST
Of September-and fby that time the job
shall not be done up, it is to be hoped the Ad-
ministratiou party will gracefully decline to
solicit the people to put any further confderce
them.--Chitlicothe Adrertiser.

of the applicant, and therefore could not re-
monstrate. But so many have recently been
discharged upon certificates of disability, that
now when man is placed upon the sick list,
it is "a common saying among his associates
that che has gone for his discharge papers"
Near the railroad depot is the Monumental
Hotel, and sign out, "Soldier's discharge pa
pers procured here" An investigation dis
closed the fact that the whole affair was swim
die. A man named Chase, and DR.. Emer,
son, had small room back of the bar, where
blanks were filed up on the payment of five
dollars head to the bar tender. On these
bogus papers many have got their discharges.
One hundred and seventy certificates were
found there showing they were dong a good
business. On Colonel Baker arresting them
they admitted the facts, but there is no law by
which they can be punished, and 1t being
deemed necessary to prevent the dissolution of
the army in any way, they were committed to
the old capital prison.

A California story.

In the northern part of this State (Caiifor-
nia) is stream called Yuba river. Across it
some enterprising individual built bridge !;
and on the banks somebody else built three or
four houses. The inhabitants called the place
Yuba Dam. Three bars were instantly ercct-
ed, and the town increased rapidly. About
noon one cool day traveller and sojourner
in the land. passed this furnishing locality, and
seeing long legged specim IN of humanity ia
a red shirt smoking before one of the bars,
thus addressed him:
sHellop
Hello 2 replied the shirt, with vigor, re-
moving his pipe from his mouth.
What place is this p demanded the travel
er, whose name was Thompson.
The answer of the shirt was unexpected
'Yuba Dami'
There was about fifty yards between them,
and the wind was blowing. Mr. Thompson
thought lie had been mistaken
sWhat did you say 2 he ash ed.
'Yuba Dan,' replied the stranger, cheer
fully. o.
what place is this?' roared Mr.. Thompson.
sYu-ba Dam 7 said the shirt, in slightly
elevated tone of voice,
sLookee herep yelled the irate Thompson,
Il asked you politely what place this was why
in thunder don't you answer 2
The stranger became excited. He rose and
replied with the voice Of 6o-peuader
'Ya-ba dam! Do you hear that p
In a minute Thompson, burning With the
wrath of the righteoRs, jumped of his horse
and advanced On the stranger with an express
sion not to be mistaken. The shixt arose and
a: sumed posture of offcnse and defense
Arrived within yard of him, Thompson
said 4 ask you, for the last time, what place
is this p
Putting his hands to his mouth, his oppo-
nent roared:
sYu-ba dam
- FiIe nfuutr TREY at IT, ,
Thompson was down then the shirt; and
then it was dog fall-that is, both were
down. They rolled about, kicking up trs-
mcndous dust, They .squirm1ed around so en-,
ergetcally that you'd have thought they had
dozen legs instead of four. 1t looked like a
prize fight between two pugillistic ceutipedes.
Finally, they both rolled off the bank and into
the river. The water cooled them. They
went out together, but came up separate, and
put out for the shore. Both reached it about
the same time, and Thompson scrambled up
the bank mounted his warlike stced, and made
tracks, leaving his foe gouging the mud out of
one of his eyes.
Having left the busines portion of the town
that is to say, the corner where the three
bars were kept-he struck house in the sub
urbs, before which little girl of about four
years of age was playing.
What place is this, Sissy 2 he asked.
The little girl, frightened, at the browne /
rat figure which the stranger cut, streaked It
for the house. Having reached the door she
stopped-turned. and squealed bee dam!
"Good Heavens = said Thompson, digging
his heels between his horses rlbs-sGood
Heavens! let me get cut of this horrid place,
whore not only the men but the very babes
and sucklings swear at inofensive travellers !.

A subs1lsss.e for the rotate.

There has been introduced into Bz,siAz,e
through the means of distinguished member
of the Belgium Society of Agriculture, new
kind of esculent root, a substitute for the po-
tato, which is remarkable for possessing the
triple advantage of favor, abundance, and
facility of preservation. An English journal
says it is variety of tho plant called ehGrdoa,
which is a sort of thistle, and if SO it can
claim no kindred with the potato. All the
thistles and their congerers have tap roots,
but from the Inscription given of this We in.
fer that it produces tubers like the potato.
The blossom is Of pale violet color. and
does not fructify. A field of one acre, third
class quality, lightly manured, produced 2z,-
600 kilogrammes, about two pounds eight
ounces tho kilogramme, of uniformly sound
roots. The crop was dug out on the 18th Of
October last, and its enormous product hai
excited great interest among the farWafg.--
The Bureau of Agriculture at Washington
would do well to obtain some Of t'tese potatoes
for introduction into this country.-M 2:

Gambling In Wall Street.

Gambling has assumed new phase in Wall
street. From fancy stocks, corn and cotton,
the gamblers have gone into dry goods. "Now
you see it and now you don't see it." The
HerdId of Monday thus records the success of
the gamblers-perhaps we ought to say specu-
lators-in their new game:
"One Of the most curious features of the
arrangement caused by the war in the usual
course of our commercial operations is the
turn which speculation has taken amongst our
Wall street operators. They are abandoning
fancy stocks for fancy goods, and row- nothing
is talk kcd of on Change but the price of long
cloths and muslns. To such point is the
fever of speculation in this line carried that
one New England house in this city, wkosc
leading partner holds both gubernatorial and
military rank, is realizing, by multiplied COM
missions on the same invoices Of goods, more
than their actual cost. Tbs great majority of
the persons co: ccrned in these operations be-
ing capitalists outside the trade; the purchases
which they make are Immediately reinvoiccd
for sale, and thus stocks of goods, worth in
the aggregate from five to one hundred thoIs-
and dollars or more, are daily changing own
ers without changing warehouses, securing
thereby to the firm selling then: an amount
of commission exceeding their actual value :
Some. idea of the enormous amount of its
gains in this way may be gathered from the
fact that it sold the other day single invoice,
amounting to Sf26,6ee, at prices exceeding
by three hundred per cent those of twelve
months ago. Thus these New England man
afacturers and commission houses, whose prn-
cipals have been mainly instrumental in bring
ing the country into its present ruined condi-
ton, have not only realized large fortunes by
contracts and the protection of war tariff,
bat the continuing to make further enormous
gains by the commercial embarrassments which
they have provoked 1t is no wonder(fhat
whilst such profitable condition of things
lasts they should be anxious to throw every
obstacle in the way of vigorous prosecution
of the war. Our present troubles are mainly
laid to the account of New England fanati-
cism If they we're set down to that of New
England cupidity they would be equally near
the truth.

LincoIn.s.. proclamation.

The Ulbana Union, an Independent paper.
speaking of Lincoln's Proclamation, says:
=" We do not cuii It the Presidents Procla-
nation, for that would imply that it was real
ly an official act, and that he had power to
make it. We give it, however, for informa-
ton. to shoM the road we are taking, and how
far we have got. The Ciucinnati CONNER
cial asks that there be no factious opposition
to it. Certainly there should be no factions
opposition, but there should be everywhere,
individual and manly protest, and there must
be such fAal action ON it, that no man will
ever dare to do the like again. In this way
the Proclamation may do much good; in no
way can it do much harm that has not already
been done by the Proclamation of September
%, 1862. Let there be, then, no factious op-
position, and let this Administration wear out
its time at the ratio of two millions of dollars
day, and hundred thousand lives year.
IN march, in battle, and ia hospital, and then
the people may lawfully gather up what is
left of the country, and pondering over the
ruins reconstruct government

The flames were early discovered and every
attempt made to save her, but with no avail.
She had to be cast loose, and was towed into
the stream. Her ammunition commenced ex-
ploding, and the tugs had to ieive her, when
she foated down the Ohio, her bomb shells
bursting, cannon going of, and flames spread
ing over the wood work, presenting sad but
terribly sublime spectacle, witnessed by huns
dreds of citizens from the levee. When it
was too dangerous for the boats to 20 along
side, it was discovered that colored woman
had remained on board. Three persons had
nnssen taken off already, but no one dared 60 70

most horrifying sereeching and screaming.
freshened ty every explosion and the increase
of danger. When nearly opposite the fort,
the Glide was blown upon the Kentucky shore.
soon.a after the magazine exploded, all but the
hull being burned and sunk. The colored
woman still hanging to the wheel at the stern.
It was supposed she must be lost. just be-
fore noon, however, a tug signaled from the
Kentuck shore, that the same woman was dig
covered alive about half mile above the
point where she had disappeared. Her only
injuries were the straining of her lungs and
froet- -hittea feet.
