to have no connection with them. His
Proclivities in the late political cam !.
paign were for Douglas, and some years
ago he ran for Congress in Rhode ISL

beaten by Potter. During this canvass
he made number ofspeeches, with con I.
siderable effect, and issued pamphlet
defining his position. Burnside, as a
speech maker, is there presented in a
new character. He has been noted dur

The Baby.

Come to my arms, you bowlldering elfi
Let me gather you, body and soul, to myself;
Bury your seintillant eyes and hair,
And all tho glory and grace you wear,
From twinkiing foot to golden crown,
Clasping you close to my bosom and heart,
A thing OF my holiest being o part;
orowning song IN the olden rhyme,
Tender and sweet as a vespor chime.
Sleep, baby boy;
Tho littlo birds rest, .. .... ....
Downy and soft,
In.the mother birds most;
The lambkins are safe ...
In the shepherds warm fold:
The dow-drops asleep
In tho butter cups gold.
The violet mods
To the daisy dream;
Tho lily lies hushed
On tho lap Of tho stream;
And holy and calm,
Like motherly eyes,
The stars look down
From the silont skies.
Sleep, baby iboy,
Ny birding, my hower,l
Ny lily, my lambkin,
Ny dew drop, my doweri
While heart against heart
Beats softly in time,
To tho murmuring flow
OF my tender old rhyme.

respecting the popular feeling in Eng

the difference in the cloth at this time

stamped, and the stamp cancelled By
the initials of the signsr and the date

DEAR NEws:-As l have not written

I find, upon consulting my diary,
that we left McMinnyille, Tenn, Sept.
I'd, and pushed forward through dust
and heat, on half rations and parched
with thirst, for Nashville, arriving there
on the 9Th, the entire of our army being
in striking distance--no doubt thereby
foiling the demonstrations which Bragg
had intended on this city, From Nash.
Vile we push forward toward Green
River. Each General (Fed. aud Con-
fed.) finds this heavy task. RAtfOns
are scarce with both. Bat on, on. till
we reach Bowling Green. and its cave
springs, in their crystal rullness, make
us IoJgot the muddy pond water, which
for ten days past had almost alone

at the clear, gushing founis, But We
linger another day; and still another
whilst every soldier knows that Mum
fordsville lies just beyond, with cnly
its three thousand men to tnan'the
heights that protect the passage Of
Green River, aud that Bragg by alripid

On asking Demetri, our dragoman, if

answered me by story-for he has q
story ready for almost every OCCASION
The very same question, he says, was
lately put to Mobamed Ali by French

The Pasha, after a moments reflection,
said to the engineer
"Havs you ever seen rivers in Eu.

"Yes, sir, many" was the reply.

"They were made by Allah Cod"
said the astoDished engineer.
"Then; sir" concluded the Pasha
triumphantly, "do you expect me to
know and to do better than Allah2"
The poor engineer had no reply to
make to this strangs argument, SO he
took his leave and went on his way.

THE DEATH 0E JUDGE PLANTS.

The shock felt by our people at hear
ing of the sad accident TO Judge Plants,
a brief account Of which was contained
in last weeks Pioneer, has since been
changed toa deeper gloom by the fatal
result Of his injuries.
He was taken to his home in Bucyrus, on
Wednesday evening, where everything
that skill and care could effect, was tried
in vain, his system never rallied from
the shcck of his wounds, and gradually
and peacefully sinking away, in the full
possession Of his faculties, he ceased to
live at O'Clock last Monday morning.
He suffered but little, and death came
like sleep, without a struggle. We shall
not attempt, in this blief no'ice, to trace
the career, or depict the character Of the
deceased. yet when good man dies, ii
is we'll to recall his virtues, as an exam
pie to the living. Possessing no advsn-
tages which are not common to all in this
favored country, Josiah S. Plants was
in the best sense Of the phrase, self
made man. Beyond the early training of
the common school, his education was
continued by means furnished through
his own labors. He was an untiring stu.
dent, and emphstically working man.

Sandusky. on the Gath day of August
1868, upon the occasion of the death Of

The members of the Bar and Officers
Of the Court cf Wyandot county, strick.
en- with sorrow at the distressing acci-

in the prime of life AMI the midst of a

family, } do adopt the following resola-
tions.
Nesolved, That in the death of Judge
Plants the legal profession has sustained
no common bereavement, the public have
'ost an upright and painstaking magis-
trate, and in the sudden rending of the
tenderest domestic ties, his family have
suffered an ailliction which deserves our
warmest sympathy. ....
Resolvea, That the career of our de-
ceased friend, isa brigh. example Of the
,riumphs which even await industry, en-
ergy and good principle ; as lawyer he
was faithful, Jealous, and able, as a Judge
patient, conscientious, and ever anxiou,
to be right, and as citizen he was large

ornaments, and support of social life.

Admitted to the Bar in l845, he held q
foremost place in the profession until elec
ted to the Judgeship Of the Common Pleas
in 1853.
1t is but justice to say. that he was
found equal to the responsibilities of his
new position. His anxiety to do right
was unremitting. and the few who found
fault with his opinions. never distrusted
his intentions but we may well refer to
the unanimous tribute Of his professional
brethren, for evidence Of his character as
a Lawyer and Judge.
In all the relations Of private and social
life, in morals, manners and habi 5, Judge
Plants was bright contrast 10 the too
great number ofour public men, in whose
elevation the community publishes its
own disgrace.
lie was useful and exemplary citizen,
a jealous friend of education, and liberal
patron of all public Improvements. Yet,
while his public labors were uustinted,
his own highest enjoyment was sought at
home, and found in the domestic circle
at his own fireside. The taste with which
he improved his beautiful homestead,
was itself a valuable lesson, not to his
nei ighbors alone, but to the large circle Of
friends, who shared his hoSpitaites.
F In every field of usefulness, his loss
will be felt, and the general sorrow is in
tensifed by the sudden termination Of a
career so full of future hope, and from
which so much was yet expected. S.
