in his epistle of Saturday last:
To-day the public are delectated with
the hrst number of a monthly publica.
ton, styled the "Old Guard" whose
editor is Mr.. G. Chaunoy Burr, most
prominent Southern sympatbzer. The
names of the principal articles are: "a
Traitor Congress and a Traitor Presi.
dent" "The United States Treasury
Robbed to buy Negroes" and Chow the
Middle and Western States are Ruled
and Ruined by New England" You
can judge from the edifying titles, what
fine intellectual treat this new period
ical must be, and to what national re-
suits, what little influence it may exert,
will tend. With the World for their
daily organ, the Caucasian for their

weeks are over. And here let me say
once again, that this idea ofa concerto d
rising ola mob, is no idle fancy, but O
suspicion fast ripening into confident
expectation in the minds of thousands
II is tho consnmmalion most devoutl,

will no he people of the loya States nm.
derstand that there is no halfway ground
that either the Government must
conquer this rebellion or fall to pieces
itself? Let them not hatter themselves
that the South can have her independ-

Secession would then be an established
fact, and does any one suppose the East

ty existing between them, could be kept
together? No. The moment our Gov.

A Brave Boy.

Near Lake Shetek, sixty miles south
west Of New Ulm, family was surpris-
ed by Indians, the father killed, and the
mother seized as prisoner, but two
children, one twelve years and the 9TH
er two years ofOge, were concealed from
the savages in a neighboring thicket Of
grass and weeds. After the alarm, the
mother thus concealed her children. her
last words to the elder boy being to
"save his little brother and never leave
him"
The Indians disappearing with their
captivcs and .plunder, the brave lad,
roith his baby brother on has Jach, start
ed for thet nearest settlement, subsisting
on wild fruits and roots, reaching New
Ulm in fourteen days. About half way
on lis journey of 60 mies, he overlook
a neighbor named ireland, who had laid
dowu to die, having been struck by no
less thai eight bullets, and who insisted
that it was hopeless to escape "But, "
was the heroic reply of the boy, "my
mothers last words were to save my lit.
tie brother, and I am going to do it,
This devoted courage gave new life to
Ireland, who struggled forward, and all
reached New Ulm without accident
Ireland is now recovering.
On the next day after the arrival al
New Ulm, the mother of the children
was brought in by scouting party
The Indians, finding her an incu m.
brance to their retreat, and not being al
the moment disposed to kill her, hat
left the woman on the prairie, and after
wandering many days, she was re uni
ted to her children.-[St. Paul Press.

coln.-Attorney General Critchfelds
Speech
The two men from whom we have
above quoted are fairly to be considered
the representative men of the Ohio
Democracy. Olds was elected to the
Legislature, while yet justly suffering
confinement for his crimes against his
Government, and Critchfeld, in Octo-
ber was elected Attorney General of the
State. They are thus fresh from Demo
cratic constituents. Olds uttered the
treason above, in the streets of Colum-
bus, his person ornamented with but
ternuts, and his Democratic admirers
applauding his sentiments. Critch6cld
uttered his treason before three hun
dred of the leading Democrats Of the
State, at Jackson supper presided over
by tho gentleman just elected to the Su-
, prcme Bench of Ohio, and the words of
this Democratic Attorney General found
no rebuke, in all that crowd, save from
two.
The Ohio Democracy therefore
through these two men, whom it ha
q just elevated to places of honor AM
