English Ab~OlitiOnisfs Getting
Tired of Free NEGROES.

We in England are getting a little tired of
the negroes-we are beginning to find them
out. A year or so ago a negro was quite a
pet with us and when one came to us we
made much of him; but now too many of them
are coming-they come over in squads; they
are ignorant and cOnceited; we are willing to
help them to be free, to give them money,
but then we do not want any more to do with
them.
STURGEON, the celebrated Baptist preach
err is the author of the above. 1t is evil
dence, that the English Abolitionists are be.
coming tired of the negroes that flock to
England. The Abolitionists of the North,
if they succeed in accomplishing the objects
for which they wage this the present wal,
will be just as tired of SAMBo as their breth-
rem across the oc ean.

An Attempt at Coercion.

A few days since, an attempt was made by
the Home Guards, alias "Loyal Leaguers,"
the Provost Marshal and a few veteran SOL
diers of Galena, Ill, to, compel the proprie'
tors of the Galena Democrat to hoist a flag
over their Office. The company armed and
equipped as the League directs, advanced to
the entrance and halted. The Captain and
several persons representing a self constituted
committe, advanced up the stairs, leaving the
company to guard the entrance. When about
half way up the stairs they received a sum-
mons to halt, and looking above them, they
spied the proprietor of the Democrat with a
drawn revolver and two well charged shot
guns bearing dow On them from the head of
the stairs. The proprietor of the Democrat
informed them, that he would give them just
thirty seconds to evacuate the premises, and
if they did not beat a retreat in that time
their leader would be a dead man. Consid
ering discretion the better part of valor, they
made their exit from the building and the
street, and have not been heard of since.
This is exactly the way to treat such vaga-
bonds.

THE PRESIDENTS HoRsEs.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the World writes as fol
lows
When Mr.. Linceln'e hcrses were destroyed
by fire a few weeks ago, in the spirit Of fun
keyism which eats in everywhere at Washing
ton, a pair of splendid grays were sent from
the Quartermaster's Department TO his stables.
That was several weeks ago, but the horses
have never yet been returned and there are
copperhead and disloyal persons who say
they never will be-. They are daily visible on
each side the Presidents carriage pole.
1 heard a very rebellious person say the
other day that if any enthusiastic Lincoln
devotee in the Quartermasteris Department
chooses, out of his own lawful. and honestly
earned funds, to make a horse offering to Mr..
Lincoln, that is merely a matter of taste, but
said he, 81 deny that the Lincolns have any
more right to use government horses than L
have"
Being a highly loyal man, I neither said
yea nor nay.

nea- The following incident was related by
a Confederate prisoner, to an attendant, who
by many acts of kindness had won his con-
h6ence.
I was searching for spoils among the dead
and dying upon a deserted battle field, when
1 discovered a small gold locket upon the
person of a dying boy apparently about ff-
teen years of age. AS 1 endeavored to loose
it from his grasp he opened his languid eyes
and implored me-, by all that wa<s pure,
by the memory of my own mother, not to rob
him of his sisters picture. "Oh!' said he ''it
was her last gift. I promised her, when she
kissed my cheek at parting, that 1 would al
ways wear it near my heart, in life or death"
Then, as if throwing his whole soul into the
plea, he exclaimed: 80, touch not my sisters
picture" AS the last words faltered upon
his tongue, his voice hushed in death. By the
dim light of the stars,I hastily scooped a shall
low grave, and buried him with his sisters
picture lying on his breast.
