A Brave Defense.

The Louisville Journal gives the particulars
of the outrage committed in the vicinity of
CrittendeD, KY, twenty-four miles from Cow
ingtOu, from which we clip the following, related
by Mr.. b. f. TOmlin, one ofthe parties attacked.
On Sunday morning about six clock, he was
awakened by persons in an adjoinining room.
Raising up, he saw two men with guns in their
hands one of whom he recognized as ConnOr
Oldham, of Williamstown, known rebel guer-
rilla He Immediately snatched his revolver and
presented at Oldham, who sprung back and
closed the door, He then fired at the other man
through the window, wounding him in the hand,
and retreated up stairs. He soon found his
house was surrounded by fourteen men, who
began setting fire to the building, declaring if
he did not surrender unconditionally, they
would burn up his house and him in it. This
he refused to do; but his wife being i'll, having
a child only foFty-eight hours old, he proposed
that they should send up their captain or lieut.
enant, and he would treat with them. This was
agree to- and the lieutenant stipulated that il Mr.
TOmlin would give him two revolvers they
would leave as that was all they wanted Mr..
Tomlin assented still having one revolver left
and the party began leaving, when he discovered
Nose Webster, captain of the gang, coming up.
He and one of his men had been out in the field
after horses, where he shot negro boy through
the leg Webster had been an old neighbor,
but declared he would not recognize the action
of his lieutenant, and demanded that Mr.. Tom
lin should go with him to the Confederate army.
Mrs. Tomlin plead for her husband, but the reb-
ell brute replied that he would not heed her if she
were an angel. Accompanying him to the door,
Mr. Tomlin pushed him out, and dretreated again
upstairs, where he got his other pistol Web
ster, saying he had defended himself nobly and
he would not harm him. notwithstanding
this, when Mr. Tomlin showed himself at the
window. the ruffan fired at him and then left.
This scene lasted over an hour, during which
time portion of the party entered SIr. Tom
Inns store and carried off some $500 worth of
goods. 1t was after this that, ON the road to
Grittenden, they killed Joel Skirvin, Tom Tay-
lor's son, of Owen county, committing the act;
and he is fellow who was released from Camp
Chase on taking the amnesty oath,

VAST WEALTH OF CRGsUs.-ln our
iottings of millionaires, it would seem as
though those pages were incomplete with
out some data concerning him whose name
has for centuries and generations-fresh
down to the present day-furnished the
standard representative of vast wealth.
Croesus fourished about the middle of the
sixth century B. G. The prodigious wealth
which he had inherited had been increased
by the tribute of conquered nations, by
the confscation of great estates, and by
the golden sands of Pactolus. Perhaps
some idea of the extent of his wealth may
be formed from the rich votive offerings
which he is known to have deposited in
the temples Of the gods. Herodotus
himself saw the ingots of solid gold, six
palms long, three broad, and one deep,
which to the number of one hundred and
seventeen, were laid up in the treasury
at Delphi. He also saw, in various parts
of Greece, the following offerings, all in
gold, which had been deposited in the
temples by the same opulent man: Afgure
of hon, probably of the natural size: a
wine-bowl of about the same weight as
| the lion: lustral vase; statue of te-
male, said to be Croesus's baking woman,
four and one-half feet high; a shield and a
spear a tripod some figures of cows; and
number of pillars; a second shield In a
different place from the first and Of greater
size CycIopediG of Com. anecdotes.

THE sARRATH.

The uuiet and rest of Sunday are as refreshing
TO the frame and the intellect as its solemn or
dinances are comforting to the soul. 1t is a
wayeless haven into which we steer ioyfully af-
ter tossing six days on 9 "sea of troubles" The
voyage life would indeed be weary struggle
with gale and tempest, but for the anchorage we
find, once week. under the shelter OF the sanctu-
airy and the house in which--the World being
shut out-the peace of Heaven enters. Every
human being who remembers the Sabbath day
to keep it holy is rewarded, directly and imme-
diately, for the performance of his Christian du-
ties. 1t is slight service most muniicently
repaid. He who has rendered it goes forth to
his labOrs ON Monday morning, with tirmer
step clearer brow, braver spirit than if he
had played the migrate and sighted the mandate
of his benefcent Father and Friend.

Salmon P. Chase, though now but pri-
vate citizen, has not ceased to be useful to
his country. The national service of a
man who had the manhness to utter the
following words are not merely official, and
cannot easily be measured:
''Permit me to add that, while we rejoice
in the successes of our armies, and give
thanks to God for them, we should not for
get that there is one class of defenders of
the hag-one class of men loyal to the
Union-to whom we vet fail to complete
Justice. 1t will be the marvel of future
historians that statesmen of this day were
willing to risk the success Ofthe rebellion
rather than to entrust to black loyalists
bullets and ballots"

COuOn Statistics.

!. The statistics of English cotton receipts
for 1863 and 1864, show that the increased
supply coming forward from other quar-
tiers OF the world compensate for the de-
fciency Of the United States. The In
creased supply for the last six months
amounts to. 81, I65 bales, or more than
fifty per cent. increase upon the receipts
of 1868 The supply has been as follows
1s6S-Ameriean L s229 bales; Brazil, 6l,-
1855: Egypt, 100, ,1s2; t; Smyrna and Greece,
l46l4: West Iudies, $3.50: East Indies,
294,665; China and Japan, As, S69-total,
5Os,27l, 1s64-American 76, $50 bales;
Brazil, SO,571; Egypt, 135,11S; Smyrna,
East Indies, 522, ,6s7; China and Japan,
$50, 525-total 1864, SIG, ,436, making an
| increase of 81, ,165 bales. Of this 1904
American and West India may be sub
traeted, since it is probably old growth,
and not current production. The remain
der is 239, ,O61 bales as the actual increas-
ed Weld of the latter year over the for
mef. Let the compound ration ofprOduc-
ton be continued but very brief period,
and the existing famine in this textile viii
be at an end. As the matter now stands,
the East Indies, China and Japan, Egypt
and Brazil, contribute more than we do to
the worlds wants. Their combined growth,
however, is only fraction of what ours was
before the wal, and of what it will be again
Immediately after.

APer.,uteu. Yankee.

a. correspondents writing from ebefore
Petersb burg relates the following "A SER
geant stepped out-from a rifle pit on Sun
day and moved toward the enemy, wav-
ing late paper, regardless of the Proba-
bility that be would at any moment be
shot A Rebel officer shouted TO him to
go back, but the sergeant was unmindful
of the warning and asked, a.Won't you
exchange newspapers e NO" said the
Rebel 81 have no papers and I want you
to 60 bach" With singular persistence
the sergeant continued to advance, saying
"WeI. if you hain't a paper, / reckon
SOME of your men have and want to ex-
change, ] ten you. any men have not
got anything Of the kind and YOU must 90
back" said the officer in louder tone,
and with great emphasis.
Nothing daunted, the Yankee sergeant
still advanced until he stood Plumply be
fore the indignant officer, and said :-'I
tell We now you needn't get your dander
up. | don't mean no harm no way
P'raps if We amt got no newspaper We
might give me suthm' else. Maybe your
men would like some coffee for some to-
bacco. I'm dreadful anxious for trade.
The astonished officer could only repeat
his command $50 back, you rascal, or
I'll take you a prisoner l tell you we
have nothing to exchange, and we don't
want anything to do with you Yankees
The sergeant said ruefully,-"rWell, then,
if you haint got nothin, why, here's the
paper, anyway, and if you get one from
Richmond this afternoon, you can send it
over. You'll find my name there on that. ."
The mans impudence, or the officers
eagerness for news, made him accept
He took the paper, and asked the sergeant
what was the news from Petersburg
''Oh our folks say we can 90 in there just
/ when we want to, but we are waiting to
gobble all YOU fellows first" was the re-
ply ,'WeIl, don't know but what You
can do itr' said the Lieutenant turning
/ on his heel and re-entered his Tihe-pits
meanwhile, my man, you had better g
back" This time the Sergeant obeyed
the oft-repeated order, and, on telling hi;
adventure, was the hero of the morning
among his comrades.

The Richmond papers uppraid John COchrane,
the candidate for the Vice-P Presidency on the
Fremont ticket, with so soon forgetting the vow
he uttred in a speech at Richmond, that if the
Federal Government should attempt to eOerace
the South, he (Cochrane) would be found sword
in hand on the side of old Virginia.
The Richmond paper should not ask from
General Coehrane literal compliance with his
vow, when by so doing he would expose Gener-
al Cochrane to personal danger. General Coch-
rrne complies with it as substantially y and more
safely when he runs on the Copperhead ticket
for Vice President. He does there by present
himself sword in hand, though he holds it by
the blade instead of the hilt and in the attitude
of surrender, None can deny, however, that he
is found ON the side of old Virginia.

RErALIATIoN.- have already stated the
fact that number of our officers in the rebels
hands at Charleston have been placed under the
fire of our guns. This outrage upon all the
rules of civilized warfare viii, we think, meet
with reply from the Administration suited 10

from Fort Delaware that a corresponding num-
Der of Rebel officers have been sent to the fleet
off Charleston with the order that they be SIM
ilarly disposed Of, and thus lesson taught the

Longs for answer; yet who cantell?
The battle field may be his bed tonight,
The cannon's roar his funeral knell.
Where is he tonight? Oh, agonizing thoughts
Could but drive them far away.

OF harm befalls him on his tOilsOme way,
Where is he tonight? No answer yet,
Save the cruel one ''cannot be found

Tis the broken heart that best can tell
Whose loved ones on the field have fell.

UNITED KINGDOM.
UNITED STATES.

@Thus it appears by the census of each nation
says Mr.. Walker, that each increasing in the
same ratio respectively as for the last decade,
the wealth of the United States in 1880 would
exceed that of the United Kingdom SO, 49,
6ls,849; that in 1890 it would be much more
than double, and in 1900 approaching quadruple
that of the United Kingdom. When we reflect
that England increases in wealth much more
rapidly than any other country Of Europe, the
value of these statistics may be estimated, as
proving how readily our national debt can be
extiDguished without oppressive taxation
Let us not forget that our nation is yet in its
earliest youth; that if We take care to establish
liberty and promote intelligence within all our
boundaries, we may expect the United States to
endure as long at least as the English nation has
lasted; that we have as yet but scratched the
ground with hoe while in Europe it has been
already trenched and manured; that our great
est sources of wealth are untouched; and that
while we are free we shall enjoy not only our
natural increase but the enormous addition Of
population and wealth which comes to us from
the fact that we drain over-pOpulated Europe of
its laboring classes.-N. 7. Post

Slack Motion which use always engenders, in
the hinges or joints which connect the Sickle
bar to the Pitman and the latter to the drive

causes imperfect cutting and frequent destruc-
ton of the bar, and this invention relates to an
