address of DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes,
before the Alumni of Harvard College:

g Yet again, 0 Brothers this is non
the hour for sorrow. Month after month,
until the months became years, we have
cried to those who stood upon our walls

THE FEELING IN LEES ARMY.-A
newspaper correspondent at York, Pa,
writes, in regard to the recent rebel occu-
patton of that place, that the confederate
soldiers were free to assert that they were
sick of the war and hoped that it would
soon come to an end They took advan-
tage of every opportunity to desert, and
the rebel General was obliged to put SEN
tinels around the town, with orders TO
shoot every man who tried to escape
They shot two of their men on the march
from Gettysburg to York. When they
left York, they shook hands with the fed
eral wounded soldiers in the hospital
there, md hoped they should meet again
under different circumstances, exchanging
some of their trifes with our boys as keep
sakes.

Death of Nicholas Longworth

Yesterday afternoon, Nicholas Long
worth, whose name is more closely iden'
tilted with the history of Cincinnati,
than that of any other person living or
dead, departed this life, after lidger-
ing iilaess of over two years duration.
The deceased had outlived most of his
generation, being eighty years of age,
on the 10th OF January last. For near
ly sixty years he has been resident OF
this city. IIe came here a poor young
man, when few log houses marked the
settlement. lie lived to see it one OF
the FIRST cities of the nation, and him
seif ono of the wealthiest men in the
country. Thus has passed away anOth
er of lhe few remaining links that con-
meet the earlier and present history OF
Ci,-cinuati. His departure reminds us
that ,,'aath is no respector of persons
and that h,,wever mu,h pleasure or pain
we may experie nee ii life, however great
onr sucoess in aGGumulating wealth,
however extended our i'Sme' all that Is
earthly must at last pass into the mar
row compass of TIE grave, and t1a' aA
we bring nothing into the world, ncll'
or can We carry anything out. So far
as regards worldly possessions, the rioi
and the poor finally come to a common
,ayel; and when we contemplate this
great fact, how insignificant do the
wealth and tho fame, for which men sac
yi6oe SO much in their livcs; appear

CoURT is still in session. The case
Of the State vs. Falls, Black, Dillon,
Harwood, and Nevin, indicted for riot,
and committing an assault upon A. W.
Evans, was tried on Monday last, and
resulted in o verdict of Not Guilty.
NeTio, Oue of the defendants, was not
arraigned, having previously offered to
turn States evidence, but on being
called to the witness stand, ho refused
to testify, on the ground that he could
not, without eliminating himself AS
he was the only witness for the prose
cution, except Evans, (who could not
identify the dcfendants,) the State fail.
ed to sustain the Indictment.
The civil action against the same
defendants for damages was submitted
to the Court, which awarded the plain
tiff 800 and costs.
Nevin has since been re-arres'ed OF
the original charge, aud will have
hearing to-day before Esq. Dorman.

For the News.
To the Citizens Of Highland County.
A mischeivous and vindictivo spir-
il, which is now nourishcd and fed by
a few calumniators and liars has gone
forth over this county, pretending to
give history Of a small difficulty which
occurred between myself and Sam Pike,
Editor Of the IIilsboro' Gazette. I
herein give the facts Us they occurred,
as nearly as l remember: Fridry, the
18th inst, saw the Gazette Of the 1lth,
aud saw therein a publication which
was intended for mc, but which also
alluded to my wife. l saw Pike com
ing up street, and when he was oppo
site the Court House on the south side,
[ crossed over tho street and met aud
stopped him, and in few words told him
that cared not what he said about me
in his paper, but that did not allow
him to use the name of or allade to any
member of my family. And thereupon
he denied having done 50; and said he
desired me to 90 to his Office and lie
would prove to me that he had not al
luded to my wife or family. went to
his Office with him, and in the presence
Of his employees he showed me letter
which did rot warrant the publication
| he had made, an ] then so told him, and
also told him it he persisted in such
| publications, | should hold him in per
son responsible. Thereupon he became
very angry and said he would publish
whatever he pleased. Other words were
spoken by both Of us. Pike called to
some Of his journeymen to bring two
pistols loaded, and give me one. OI
course told him to come with his pis.
tolls. lie used some abusive language
and which l ropelled by inviting the
fellow out of his Office into the street
or any other place. lie asked whore VIZ
would go2 and my reply was, any place
where we wonld not be seen hy any
one. l walked out Of the Office and tot
him to como along, which lie took gooC
care not to do. / am informed tina
some vile miscreant has published broad
cast, falsehoods to tho effect that Pix,
locked me up in his Office, and that
had to importune him TO let me out
Now be it known that the miserable
wretch who started such report has no
the courage to go with me to some lon
place where we can disturb no one, ant
whichever ono of US returns first shal
be allowed to tell what happened du
ring our absence. And the foregoin!
proposition is hereby extended to al
who justify Pike in the publication 0
the article in his paper of the ! til inst.
in which am charged with dishonor
