in the event of total failure of the Fed
eral campaign Of 1864. Now the very
latest intelligence brought us from that
country by special channel informs us
of these two futher facts: that the popu-
lar mind became at once violently agitated
on the announcement of this Baltimore
nomination; and that in Maryland, espe-
cially, disturbance was apprehended. In
fact, the Democrats of the North, who
have waited four years, not too patiently,
trusting to regain the power and profit
which they but lately held to be Demo
cratic inheritance, must naturally be pro-
voked beyond endurance at this audacious
attempt of Lincoln and Seward to ride
roughshod over them four years more
We learn that the Democrats are now uni
versally turning their thoughts to Frank
lin Pierce and Connecticut Seymour as
their nominees for President and Vice
President. To give them the least chance
of electing those two advocates of peace,
Grant must be defeated, the invasion must
collapse and die out, and the very name
Of war must become word of horror, ut
tered with loathing and execration.-
Therefore, it is the interest of the Demo
Gratis to do their very utermost to weaken
the Federal finance, in short, to extin-
guish the war altogether in order to ex
tinguish the party which invented the war
and governs it and lives by it.
The last significant fact, which comes
to us by special adyIceae is-that immedi-
ately on the Baltimore nomination., gold
rose to one hundred and ninety seven7--
Gold is a sensitive substance, and it feels
another shiver, and shrinks back yet lit
tie more into its crypts, at the idea of an
other four years of Lincoln and Chase,
and those dreadful paper mills and steam
presses, the smoke of whose fatal machin-
cry ascendeth up forever and ever,
Here, then, are elements of trouble
and storm, which happily threaten to in
terfere, not only with Lincoln's election,
but with the peace of Yankee society Be
fore November the whole North may be
writhing in intestine convulsion, her
brute mass now pressing us so heavily
may be flung off, and the Confederacy may
be standing erect, redeemed, radiant, tri-
shaking her invincible locks in
the sun.
For all this we look to the Confeder-
ate army. Lee Beauregard and Johnston
can both give the Yankees a President
and make us well rid of them and their
Presidents forever.

THE USE OF MAN-The world was
made to be inhabited by beasts, but stud
led and contemplated by man; It's the
debt of our reason that we owe unto God,
and the homage we pay for not being
beasts. Without this, the world is still
as though it had not. been, or as it was
before the sixth day, when as yet there
was not creature that could conceive, or
say there was world. The wisdom Of
God receives small honor from those vul.
gar heads that rudely stare about, and
with gross rusticity admire his works
Those highly magnify Him whose judi
cious inquiry into his acts, and deliber.
ate research into his creatures, return the
duty of devout and learned admiration.
Every essence, created or uncreated,
hath its final cause, and some positive
end, both of its essence and operation
This is the cause grope after in the work
of nature. On this hangs the providence
of God. To rise SO beauteous a structure
as the world and the creatures thereof was
but His act; but their sundry and divid-
ed operations, with their predestined ends,
are from the treasury of His wisdom
There are no grotesques in nature not
anything framed to fill UP empty cantons
and unnecessary spaces. = What reass
son may not 60 to school to the wisdom,
of bees, ants and spiders? What wise
hand teacheth them to do what reason

amazed at those prodigious pieces of ma
ture, whales, elephants, dromedaries, and
camels. These, l confess, are the colos-
suses and majestic pieces of his hand
But in these narrow engines there is more

these little citizens more neatly sets forth
the wisdom of their Matg. l could new

travel, l can do, in the cosmography of

Pats Adventure with a Wild Bullock

Pats Adventure witha Wild Bullock
The following is from Col. Campbsll's
Indian Journal:
This morning, after sharp gallop,
succeeded in heading fine. active Young
bullock, before he could get into cover.
and drove him back toward the road. where
he arrived SO completely blown that the
men of the guard, who Immediately sur.
rounded him, had little difficulty in secu.
ring him, by casting slip-knot over his
horns. Two men dragging in front, and
two others picking him with their bayo.
nets behind, urged the unwilling captive
toward the wagon-an operation which
he submitted to with tolerable resignation
But when he found himself surrounded
by some twenty red coated I" Feringees,"
all shouting like fiends, and found that
these unbelieving Kaffers-"may their
heads be defiled"-were resolved upon
attaching his sacred carcass to an unclean
baggage wagon, he became something
more than wroth, and plunged, and kick
ed, and butted, and beloved, till his cap
tors were either knocked over or lost their
hold; and away he went through the
crowd, knocking the men right and left
like ninepins. Que of them Ca man of
my company in his hurry to escape ,'tum-
bled, neck and crop, into prickly bush;
the enraged bullock, taking advantage of
his position, charged him savagely, and
was just on the point of goring him, when
/ fortunately laid hold Of the rope, which
was still attached to his horns, and taking
turn round the stem of tree, brought
him up with jerk that almost threw him
on his side. So far so good. But still
poor Pat Maloney was in anything but an
enviable position. There he lay, in the
midst of the bush, extended on his back
like spread eagle, and so entangled that
he could do nothing but kick--which he
did frantically--while the bullock by this
time thoroughly savage, kept believing
and butting him, within six inches of the
pit Of his stomach--a tender and ticklish
spot-which Pat protected as we'll as he
could by drawing it in at each thrust of
the horns, till it nearly touched his back
bone, and kicking sout like a maniac
Ah, murther, murtherp' shouted Pat,
believing almost as loud as the bullock,
"sure it's kilt | am entirely! All, you
divil, be aisy now Arrah captain dear,
for the love of the blessed Virgin, hould
on, or the baste's into me, as sure as the
diviPs in Dublin" The scene was so abb
surdly ludicrous that, although expected
every moment the rope would give way,
and the bullock's horns be sheathed in
poor Pats trembling viscera, I could not
resist roaring with laughter. Fortunate
ly for him the rope held fast. Pat find
ing that the bullock was secured, recover
ed his presence of mind, and after a des-
perate struggle regained his legs and fore
ed his way through the bush. / let go
by the run" and away went the bullock,
rope and all, into the jungle, as ifa legion
of devils had possessed him. "And the
divA go wild him" shouted Pat, wiping
the dust and perspiration from his face.

THE OURANG-OUTANG.-In Sierra Le-
one is species of Ourang- -Outang SO
strong and SO industrious, that when prop
erly trained and fed, they work like SER
wants. They generally walk upright on
their two hind feet Sometimes they are
employed to pound substances in NOR
tar, and they are frequently taught to go
torivers, and to bring water in small pitch
ers. They usually carry the water on
their heads. When they come to the
door of the house, if the pitchers are not
soon taken off, they let them fall; and
when they perceive they are broken, the
poor fellows sometimes weep like child,
in anticipation Of the fogsing they are to
receive.
Button saw an ourang-outang that per-
formed multitude-of funny tricks. He
would present his hands to lead his visi-
tors about the room, and promenade as
gravely as if he was one of the most i'm
portant personages Of the company. He
would even sit down at the table, unfold
his napkin, wipe his lips like any other
gentleman, use spoon or fork in carrying
food to his mouth, pour liquor into glass
for it seems he had not become con-
vert to the principles Of total abstinence
aud touch his glass to that of the person
who drank with him, When invited to
take tea, he brought a cup and saucer,
placed them on the table, put in sugar,
poured out the tea, and, after allowing it
to cool, drank ii with the utmost propriety.

ABOUT SHoEs.-It appears from his
tory that the Jews, long before the Chris
tian era, wore shoes made of leather and
wood; those of their soldiere were some
times formed out of brass or iron. The
Egyptians wore kind of shoe made of the
papyrus. The Indians, the Chinese, and
other nations, were shoes made of silk,
rushes linen, wood, or the bark of trees,
iron, brass, or of gold and silver luxury
has sometimes covered them over with
precious stones. The Greek sand Romans
wore shoes of leather; the Grecian shoes
generally reach to the middle of the leg
the Romans used two kinds of shoes. the
calcus, which covered the whole foot, some
thing in the shape of our shoes, and the
solea or slipper, which covered only the
sole of the foot, and was fastened with
leather thongs. The calceus was worn
with the toga, when person went abroad,
and slippers were put on during a journey,
and feasts. Black shoes were worn by
persons of ordinary rank, and white ones
by women. Red shoes were put on by
the chief magistrates of Rome on days Of
caremonE.

John E. WESTON"
The above t'last will and testament Of
a fancy man and arrant swindler, address
ed to his room mate, railroad man, forms
the text for sensation articles in the morn,
ing papers, which swallow itat gulp, and
return verdict of suicide from gamb.
| ling. The writer of this article had some
acquaintance with WestoI. He was toe
penurious to run any risks at the gaming
table, and swindlers of his stripe never
commit suicide.
Three years ago, Weston deserted his
wife and child in Philadelphia, and came
to Chicago. His fight from the city of
brotherly love was accelerated by the dis
covery of course of systematic robbery
which he had practiced upon clothing
house, where he was employed as sales
man, amounting to between two and three
thousand dollars. He found employment
in Chicago as drummer for the wholesale
liquor establishment of Leander Read, 13
Dearborn street, where he remained until
Thursday last, when he absconded with
over a thousand dollars of his employers
money and somewhere between one and
two thousand dollars of borrowed money
which he had obtained in small sums, &C.
ing so far, even, as to borrow money of
his room mate and intimate friend, under
the pretense of needing it to discharge a
debt incurred by gambling. The note
which he left behind him is fair indi-
cation of his mental calbre He was
shallow minded and frivolous. The low
cunning displayed in the expressed hope
that his body would not be recovered, is
that and nothing more. A second tho't
would have caused the erasure of SEN
tence manifestly at variance with the eff
feet intended to be produced.
Five years ago, Weston married into a
respectable family in Wilmington, Della
ware, and shortly thereafter removed to
Philadelphia, where he resided until he
absconded and came to Chicago, leaving
his wife and one child in Philadelphia
Representing himself to be a single man,
Except to his employers, to whom he ac-
knowledged that he had family,) Wes-
ton soon became "lady-killer' among
boarding house misses, whose hearts he
slaughtered at will. He carefully confn
ed his operations to that class with whom
good looks, fine clothes and "divine waltz
ing" make ample ameans for deficiency
Of mental qualifications or ordinary intel
hgence.
His fight from Chicago was caused by
meeting, few days ago gentleman who
has lately knew Weston in Wilmington
and Philadelphia, and was fully acquaint-
ed with his thieving operations there, and
his subsequent escape from justice.
Exeunt Weston.

The Battle and Victory of Monday.
WILLIAM SwIN1oS.

The soldiers Of Sheridan's army naturally
connect the visit of Gen. Grant to Gen.
Sheridan OF Saturday with the activity and
glorious success that immediately followed.
Early rebel troops had made an advance on
Sunday. compelling Schoonmaker's brigade
to fall back across Opequan creek. General
Early was in Martinsburg, Sunday, and
boasted that he would soon be in Maryland.
Monday morning our troops advanced. The
plan OF battle was so arranged as TO secure
the benefit OF three distinct movements. II
the enemy concentrated against our left in
the direction of Berryville, he would have 10
meet Wilson's cavalry,together with Wright's
and Emery's Infantry corps, acting in q solid
body. Then Crook, Merritt and Averil
would be in position TO turn the enemys
left: for Crook could hold his own until re-
inforced, while Averill and Merritt were
strong enough in themselves to 60 around
the enemy S flank and disturb his rear. On
the other hand, had Early attempted to mass
against our right, he would certainly have
been cut off from his line of retreat by Wiz
son and Wright. Again, had he attempted
to break through our center, Wilson on ont
side and Ayerill and Merritt on the other.
all three, with their cavalry divisions, would
have gone Immediately around his hanks and
united in his rear. Any enc of these three
movements would have been sufficient,
strong to make Early retire. As it was the
fighting commenced on Early's right, on the
Berryville pike, gradually extending along
until it reached the railroad, crossed the
Martinsburg pike, and finally touched the
Romney pike.
After the fight had proceeded severaI
hours. our troops constantly pressing back
the enemy, Averills cavalry decided the fate
of the day. A force of rebel cavalry were
making charge on Clusters front. On
came the rebels, their sabers flashing in the
sunlight, with hideous yells, eursing and
swearing, and scattering themselves so as to
make their line Of attack as fierce as possible.
Just when they got up to within pistol range
of Custer, his brigade gave one glorious yell,
and went forward recklessly upon the foe.
Then, too, the whole of Averill's line gave
one deafening roar, and dashed forward al a
trot 10 flank the attacking party Under
these circumstances the rebels could not
stand. They Immediately saw the forces
opposed to them we're too determined ard
well disciplined to be beaten. The rebel line
gave way, and on went our chargers, bran
!. dishing their sabers, and seeming all bent on
