WEAR A SMILE.-Which will you do,
smile and make others happy, or be crab
bed and make everybody round you mis-
cradle? You can live among beautiful
flowers and singing birds, or in the mire,
surrounded by fogs and frogs. The
amount of happiness which you can pro-
ducc is incalculablc, if you will show a
smiling face, kind heart, and
speak pleasant words, On the other
hand, by sour looks, cross words. and a
fretful disposition, you can make humid
reds unhappy almost beyond endurance.
Which will you do? Wear pleasant
countenanee. let Joy beam in your eye,
and love glow on your forehead. There
Is no joy 50 great as that which springs
from biud act act or pleasant deed, and
you may feel it at night when you rest,

cal: lEoi seiti.n
Considerable feeling has been excited
in the town of Georgia. by some develop
meats in the case of Rev. Mr. Barnard
who has been supplying the pulpit of the
Congregational church there for a year
past, and who proves as it is alleged, to
have been in the practice of brutally
kicking and whipping his young wife.
AS reported to us, some eighteen distinct
whippings were charged against him, with
in the year, coupled with stopping of his
wife's letters to her friends, locking up
her clothes 50 that she could not leave
the house and other unmat incuial and I'M
manly treatment. This became a matter
of such notoriety that the Reverend wom-
an-whipper was given, by some OF the
young men Of the town, the alternative of
of leaving the place, or of having a con-
veyance furnished him from the nearest
rail fence. His case was recently brought
before the Association of Franklin County,
before which, as we understand, he as
serted his right as the patriarchal head of
the family to whip his wife; but express
ed penitence for the extent to which he
had exercised it, We are informed that
the association found him guilty of the
offenses charged, and recommended him
to abate the scandal on the cause of re-
lgion by abaudoing not only his spa
triarchal'' practices, but also the pulpit
which he disgraced. .a sn

THE ENROLMENT IN DODGE Co.
The Hartford Home League says the
detachment Of two companies of the
30th regiment sent thither to proceed
into the adjoining portion Of Dodge
county, arrived on Tuesday evening.
The next morning Capt. Burton's COM
pany left for the town Of Lebanon,
where Mr.. Douglas, the enrolling officer
was shot, to superintend the enrolment
in that town. The League says:
Soon after crossing the river they met
a sentinel who turned about as soon as
he met the soldiers and went back post
haste to the German settlement The
boys were told after getting out few
miles, that they would have trouble, as
the whole town was out and armed.
They kept Oil, however, and soon began
to see men going towards their usual
rendezvous. They expected warm
work and prepared for it. They soon
came on a croeod Of tago or three ham,
01'ed men, mostly armed. Naay of
them ran as soon as the soldiers came
IN sight to hide their arms IN tho grass.
The soldiers went in among them and
were asked all sorts of questions, but
having been instructed to answer no
questions they kept their own councils.
The enrolling officer went at his duty
aad performed it all day without any
moIestation.
Thus matters stand at the time of
going to press. That nothing but the
presence of armed soldiers can keep
those insane and ignorant men from
committing murder, no man can longer
hace any doubts. In this case, as in
all others, prevention will prove the
best cure.

GLORIOUS NEWS!
VICTORY IN PENNSYLVANIA!
REBELS ROUTED!
Capture of Vicksburg
$4,000 PRISONERS!

It is confirmed that the Federal VIC
tory at Gettysburg is complete. The
enemy lost nearly 5000 in killed and
wounded, and about 10000 prisoners
have been taken, 5000 of whom have
already arrived at Baltimore. The
rebel army IS eli the retreat towards
Virginia; but inasmuch as the Po:o-
mac has suddenly risen six feet, thus
destroying the fords, it will be next to
impossible to reach Virginia without
another sanguinary battle. 1t is also
reported that the rebels are nearly sur
rounded and must surrender.
The capitulation of Vicksburg is
again reported. This time there seems
very little room for doubt as to its cor
rectness. Besides the usual number Of
dispatches, Secretary Welles and Gov.
Salomon have received kilograms an
nouncing It's surrender. 1t occurred
at 10 o'clock A. NJ, on the glorious
Fourth of July. Gen. Grant took IN
lot of new boarders-about $4,000
Our soldiers must have enjoyed that
celebration hugely.
These are the greatest victories that
either side has won during the war;
IF the rebellion hasn't received It's
death blow, sit has most"

Freedom ShriekerS.

The new born zeal of a large class
of professed democrats for freedom of
speech and freedom Of the press, but
lily comports with the course OF the
same party and same men few years,
or even a few months since, when they
were justifying and even applauding
the hanging of men in Kansas and all
through the Southern States, for utter
ing their views upon the evils of slavery.
They could then look with complacency
upon the acts Of mobs that were lynch
ing men for the exercise of freedom of
speech, and rejoice at the mobblng of
newspapers for abusing. as they termed
it, the freedom Of the press. When
Charles Sumner was struck down in the
Halls Of our National Legislature, for
no other act than the exercise Of free
dom of speech in public debate, the
almost universal CRY Of the latter day
democrats was, "Served him right 20
When the press and types of Lovejoy
were thrown into the river at Alton, ILL.,,
and Mr.. Lovejoy himself was murdered
by the mob, for the exercise Of the free
dom Of the press-and that in time Of
peace, the howl of Democracy all over
the land went up in justification Of the
outrage: and why? simply because the
act was committed by their own polit
ical friends upon those who were using
the "freedom of speech'' and of the
Press against the cherished institution
oftheir party. They felt that their idol,
slavery, was assaiied, and any outrage
upon those assalling was justifiable by
the party.-But how the scene has
changed. Those men who justified all
those outrages are at this time the loud
est advocates of free speech and free
press in the land. Because few to-
ries in time of war have been arrested
for their reasonable talk, and a few
rebel newspapers in the North that are
doing more injury to the cause for which
our brave volunteers are risking their
lives, than thousands of rebel troops
can do, the cry goes up from these same
men who justified mobs and lYnching
but few years since, that our liberties
arc in danger and the government is
fast running to a despotism because
the right of speech and q free press is
assalled. But such is the consistency
of the self styled Democrats. They lose
the power to rule the nation, and the
next move is to accomplish its ruin for
what to them is free country unless
they can hold the Offices? Were the
democratic party in power at this time,
one half that is said against the admin
istration and government by these pa
pers coming from Republican prints
would cause a general closing of print
ing offices, and arrest of all who would
dare to utter treason against the gov
ernment. Their party leaders undoubt-
edly believe they are pursuing course
that will again give them the power,
but time will convince them of their
error, for in this country the people
themselves decide who shall be the ru-
lers.-MiueraJ Point Tribune.

When you find q newspaper full
ofoensures of arbitrary arrests, declaring
every act of the government violation
of the constitution and an Infringement
of law, prating about civil courts and
military despotism, denouncing aboli-
tionists, preaching the immaculate hon
esty of the democratic party, and groan-
ing about free speech and free press,
while it has not word Of condemnation
of the rebellion or an expression OF
sympathy with the efforts to put 1t
down, You can safely conclude that that
paper is at heart disloyal, and lacks
only the courage to openly sustain the
rebellion and unite with the rebels for
the overthrow of the government.

~ The general land office has de-
cided that if the right to a homestead
on the public land has been acquired
officially, and subsequently abandoned
or disposed of, the right Of the original
owner ceases, and he can have no fur

an absolute title from the land office,
4he homestead must be occupied four
years. This is an important decision.
