Dick BOwIes the GuerriIIa KiIIsd,

The Louisville Journal of last Monday saws
that the notorious robber and guerrilla chief
Dick Bowles has at last met with his lust des-
erts. He was killed few days ago seven miles
from Gilbertsville, Limestone county, Alabama.
by Ira A. Tuttle, the young and daring chief of
scouts of the Army of the Cumberland Tuttle
sought BOwles, and represented himself as will
ing to engage in any scheme of murder and
plunder which might be proposed. BOwles was
disarmed of suspicion, and related to Tuttle a
short history of his life, in which he bOasted of
the many acts of plunder in which be had been
engaged, and the deliberate murders he had COM
mitted. Tuttle heard him though, and careless
ly asked to examine the revolver with which
Bowles was idly toying. Without thought of
suspicion, the revolver changed hands. futile
cOOlly cooked the pistol, and informed BOwles
who he was, and, drawing his watch from his
pocket, said: " You have Just one minute and
half to live; if you wish to humble a PRAYER
to God, kneel dOwn,and be expeditions, for by nv
soul, you diel' BOwles made forward move
ment to grasp the pistol, when Tuttle pulled the
trigger, and the ball penetrated the brain of the
guerrilla chief. He fell and died without a
groan. Tuttle immediately retreated from the
place, and safely arrived inside of the Federal
lines. Dick Bowles was one of the most blood
thirsty cutthroats that this war has produced
He was desperate character, daring leader,
and exUlted in scenes of torture and blood
His name has long been terror ON the borders
of Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee and the
people rejoice at his death. Tuttle accomplish
ed good job in bringing his career of crime to
a sudden clOse.-OhiO State Jour.

A Yictimized Pnrsnt.

A good joke was Perpetrated by lady at Ja-
maca, Long Island, a few days ago, which is too
good to keep. One of the citizens of that place
went to answer ring of the door bell at the re-
quest OF his wife, where he found basket in
which was beautiful child about five months
old. The gentleman carried it into the house,
where one of the lady visitors took up the child
and found note pinned to its dress, which
charged the gentleman with being its father and
implOred him to support it. A rich scene en-
sued between the injured wife and the indig-
nant husband, the latter denying all knowledge
of the little one. The friends interfered, and at
last the wife was induced to forgive her hus-
band, though he stuck to it that he had always
been faithful husband. Finally the lady very
told him he did not know his own
child, for it was their mutual offspring which
had Just been taken from the cradle forthe pur-
pose of playing the Joke

A PEACEFUL WAITING.

Shall vioIets bloom for thee and sweet birds sing
And the lime branches, where soft winds are blowing,
Shall murmur the sweet promise offspring.
little longer yet, little longer,
Thou shalt behold the quiet of the morn,
While tender grasses and awakening flowers
Send up golden tint to meet the dawn.
little longer yet, little longer,
The tenderness of twilight shall be thine,
The rosy clouds that float Ger dying daylight,
TOfade till trembling stars begin to shine.
Alttle longer yet, little longer,
Shall starry night be beautiful to thee,
And the cold shall look through the blue silence
Flooding her silver path upon the sea.
A little longer yet, a little longer,
Life shall be thine-Iife with its power to will
Life with its strength to bear, love, to conquer,
Bringing its thousand joys thy heart to fill.
A little longer stilI-patieuce, beloved

The glory, the brightness, and the wonder,
Eternal and divine, that wait thy soul.

And thou shalt stand where winged archanges worship
And trembling bow before the great white throne.

And fills thy spirit with great delight,
Then palejoys shall dream forgotten,
Our sun a darkness and our day night.
A little longer, and thy heart, beloved,
Shall beat forever with love divine,
And joy pure, so mighty, so eternal,
No mortal knows and lives shall then be thine.
A little longer yet and angel voices
Shall sing in heavenly chant upon thine ear;
Angels and saints await thee and God needs thee:

The CathOHc Press and slavery.

AT the outbreak of the rebellion, Brownson' s
Quarterly Review was almost the only advocate
of an Anti-slayery policy among all the Catho-
lie journals. The great majority of them were
violently opposing every Anti Slavery measure
of the Government, and acting in concert with
the Peace faction of the Northern Democracy.
But the progress of the war has wrought among
them several conversions. The Cincinnati
Telegraph, the organ of Arch bishop Purcell,
was the first to come over to the Anti-Slavery
party, and to admit and even to urge the neces-
sity of abolishing Slavery throughout the Uni
ted States. Its example has recently been fol-
lowed by the UaiUeTSS, the Catholic paper of
Philadelphia, hitherto violent Democratic An
Administration sheet. In late issue, this
paper admits that the peace of the Republic de-
mands the abolition of Slavery; that the nation
al current in favor of abolition grows steadily
stronger and has become irresistible, and that it
would be absurd 10 attempt to oppose it. 1t
therefore gives to the Irish Democrats the SEN
sible advice to accept cheerfully what they are
unable to undo. We note the conversions as
signs of the times.

Another speech of Mr.. LiucoIn

The Committee of the New York Working
mems Democratic Republican Association, who
waited upon the President yesterday to inform
him that their Association had elected him an
honorary member, requested him to give his
views on the sbuject matter of which their ad-
dress treated.
The President, in reply, said the honorary
membership SO generously rendered, was as
gratefully accepted. They comprehended that
the existing rebellion meant more than the per-
petuaLiOn of African Slavery; that it was in fact
war upon the right of working people. Part
ly to show that the view had not escaped his
attention, and partly because he could not bet
ter express himself he read passage from his
message to Congress of December, 1861, and
then concluded as follows:
" The most notable feature of the disturbance
in your city last summer was the hanging OF
some working people by other working people.
1t should never be so. The strongest bond OF
human sympathy, outside of the family rela-
ton, should be one uniting all working people
of all nations, tongues and kindreds; nor should
this lead to war on property or owners OF
property. Property is the fruit of labor; prop
erty is desrable-is a positive good in the
world. That some should be rich shows that
others may become rich, and hence is Just en-
cOuragement to industry and enterprise. Let
not him who is hOuseless pull down the house
of anothr, but let him labor diligently and build
one for himself thus, by example, assuring that
his own shall be safe from violence when built

the fiercest specimens of the scaly tribe that af

able that such malignity as we subjOin. should
find Judgement in any human breast at such
time as this. We quote from the speech of a
leading New Hampshire politician, j. D. Muir
ply, delivered at Newington, Jan. 22d, 1864:
The Democrats have submitted to the despot-
ic sway of Abe Lincoln for three years. think
ing it better TO endure wrong for short time
than to risk all by last appeal to arms But
now the time is coming when we can change
our rulers. Rather than submit four years lon
ger to Abe Lincoln and be overrun by the hordes
of his hireling soldiery let us ring out the cry
of old, To your tents, o Israeli" Democrats
should arm and organize into drill clubs COM
panies, battaliOns regiments and brigades, for
| these blood-thirsty Abolitionsts and shOddyite
thieves and traitors are a wind-broken, SPAWN
ed, dyspeptic race, and one regiment of Demo-
Gratis could lick three of them. Our armies
have accomplished nothing; the Army of the
Potomac is a grand picnic excursion, eating up
the substance of the nation, and coming home to
vote down the liberties of the people and rem
der our elections a farce and mockery to the
world.

Democracy AboIitionized.

To the New York World, Express and Herald
we have now to add sterling Western Demo-
cratic newspaper, the Chicago Post, as avowing
its belief that slavery is dead-an institution of
historic record, Copying an article from the
World it remarks:
We copy the article to show that there is some
sense left in the Democratic party, and that,
sooner or later, that party will swing off the de-
testable heFeses that have perplexed it, and will
once more assert and proclaim its ancient faith
Slavery is an institution for which the Democ-
racy has never had, and has not now, any love
whatever. The very name, Democracy, has in
ita meaning inconsistent with and antagonestic
to an institution which rests for its foundation
upon the false and old-time dogma that the aris-
tOeratic few shall rule the plebian many. With
this dogma, Democracy has ever been and ever
will be at warl

A SPEECH BY THE PRESIDENT.

At the close of the Patent Office Fair on Fri
day night President Lincoln, in answer to loud
and continuous calls, made the following brief
remarks:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.-I appear to say
but word. This extraordinary war in which
we are engaged falls heavily upon all classes of
people, but the most heavily upon the soldier
For it has been said, all that a man hath will be
given for his life; and while all contribute Of
their substance, the soldier puts his life at sakei
and often yields it up in his country's cause
The highest merit, then is due to the soldier
Cheers.
In this extraordinary war extraordinary de-
velOpments have manifested themselves, such as
have not been seen in former wars, and among
these manifestations nothing has been more re-
markable than these fairs for the relief of suffer-
ing soldiers and their families. And the chief
agents in these fairs are the women of America.
CCheers.]
l am not accustomed to the use of language of
eulogy; have never studied the art of paying
compliments TO women, but must say, that if
all that has been said by orators and poets since
the creation of the world in praise of women
were applied to the women of America, it would
not do them justice for their conduct during this
war. will close by saying God bless the wo-
men of Americal Great applause.

DEMOCRATIC NEGRO EQUALITY "-On Satur-
day evening last a meeting was held in the DEM
ocratic Thirteeth Ward. in Cincinnati, (which is
largely populated with Irish and negroes,) to
adopt measures to relieve themselves of the
draft. Committees were appointed to canvass
the Ward, and on two of them negroes were ar
pointed to act in conjunction with white men,
and in one case a negro was made Chairman of
the Committee! And all appointed by Demo-
cratic officers, to act with Democrats. The pro-
ceedings of the meeting are published In the
Sundays edition of the Cincinnati Eaol,iys, =
II this IS not fair specimen of negro equality,
among Democrats, who are in the habit Of cry
ing aloud and sparing not against if, we should
like to know what is. 1t really looks as if the
Democratic party was rapidly becoming abOK.

Beginning TO See Ii.

Even the Boston Courier, one of the most
extreme of the partizan Democratic papers, goes
so far as to concede that the destruction of sla-
very by the war is all right. 1t says:
'The South rushed to arms especially topro-
tect the institution of slavery, an institution
which comparatively few Northern men ap-
prove The friends Of State rights in the North,
as body, never defended slavery upon its mer-
its, but, bravely bearing the opprobrium of do
ing so, which was inevitably thrust upon them
by their political antagonists, they faithfully de-
Tended those constitutional rights which gave
to slavery its local security. But when slave
holders go to war; and especially when they in
augurate rebellion, they must expect their slaves
to take the chances and share the fate which the
war may bring. To this doctrine every sensi-
bly, and practical man must assent. If the war
is carried on until every negro is set at large in
this way, the owners must bear the consequent
ces of their own acts If, after the war, they
choose to undertake the recovery of their fugi-
tive property, the laws are open to them.

Turtle aud His scouts.

Ira A futile, the brave and dashing chief ofa
company of scouts in Tennessee, has been doing
good service for the Union cause in that section
Of the country. About ten days ago an agent
of the rebel government, well supplied With
funds, came north of the Tennessee river for the
purpose of purchasing beef cattle for the rebel
army. He had collected one hundred and fifty
head, when Ira Tuttle at the head of his scouts
made a sudden descent upon the contractor,
and agobbled up" himself four men, and all his
cattle. Eighty thousand dollars in Confeder
ate money, and twenty-one thousand in green
backs were found upon his person. The funds
were handed over to the Federal Government
the cattle slaughtered for the Yankee soldiers
and the unlucky contractor and his party held
as prisOners.-OhiO State Jour-

We heard "a nanny goat" yesterday which is
good enough to tell, when everybody is COM
planning about high prices. An honest and
highly respected mechanic of this city, the faith
er of large family, whO though not wealthy
man, is somewhat well known as "giver Of

young man who commenced speech, in much
embarrassment, something like this: "Mr. -,
Iah-yourgenerOsity ofheart so well known,
and I-ah-am poor young man, dependent
on my own resources for support, and-ah-

The Talk About Candidates.

The New Bedford Mercury is reminded by
the New York Iribule'S manifesto against the
denomination of Mr. Lincoln, of the remark by
Theodore Parker,-whicb was too sharp upon a
friend to be admitted into the american edition
of his life-that "Greeley is not fit for leader.
He is capricious, crotchety, full of whims and
wrong headed"
The Mercury then adds the following sound
comments on the general question:
"We do not propose to get into any heat in
reference to the question of the next Presiden-
cy. The Baltimore Convention in June next
will settle who is to be the candidate of the Un-
ion Republican party, and he will have our cor
dial support. But we are very decidedly of the
opinion now, that it is wise to let well enough
alOne-that, as Mr.. Lincoln has been patriotic
honest and faithful, deserving of ALL the plaudit
well done, good and faithful servant it is fol
the interest of the nation, instead of trying
whether somebody else might not do better, tC
continue him in Office Added to this are Other
reasons, of which we may speak hereafter; but
one, conclusive to our minds, is, that the pso-
pie, who have no particular axes to grind, who
are not sOlicitOus for new deal of offices, and g
new distribution of contracts prefer Abraham
Lincoln, as the next candidate"

John Bright for .NIr. Lincoln.

John Bright probably has better knowledge
of affairs and men in the United States than any
other Englshman. A London correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette writes:
"I had the pleasure of long conversation
with John Bright the other day, who holds the
most unalterable faith in the near approach of
the end of the rebellion. He is also very warm
in his desire for Mr.. Lincoln's reelection, and
thinks it would produce grand effect in Eng
land, by convincing the people of the solid pur-
pose of the 'American people, and quoted the
words of distinguished friend ofthe SouthrOns
a member of the House of Commons, that such
reelection would be the haviest blow that the
North could infict on the South. He does not
care much for the criticisms of Mr.. Lincoln's
slowness, though he admits that change of
Cabinet should be demanded; for the rest, he
says, DIr. Lincoln is like waiter in large eat
ing-house, when all the bells are ringing at
once; he cannot serve them all at once, and so
some grumblers are found.

we ma tne IoHoWlng IN the CINCINNATI Com
n1ercial of yesterday:
AT the session of the Ohio House of Repre-
sentatives, last Friday night, Mr.. Stanton res
olution condemning mObs of all kinds, was IN
der discussion. The whole time was consumed
by the Democratic side Of the House. Messrs.
Putnam, Mayo and Dressed made set speeches,
in which they ventilated the peculiar views Of
the copper -bOttomed party. During the deliv-
cry of Mr.. Putnam's harangue he made allusion
to the destruction of Democratic presses by
mobs, when Mr.. Harrison, of Clark, put the
question to him: Do you or your party Justify
your presses in printing treason, preaching trea-
son and ACTING treason? The last clause stag
gered Putnam somewhat but Mayo, "copper"
head,) the young member from Butler, prompt
ly answered IRON his seat: "YEs AND AcTfNG
TR EAsoN." Let it be hereafter understood that
the unconditional peace party of Ohio justify
TREASON in ali its forms. Putnam was also ask
ed if he iDdorsed Vallandighams late letter.
At first he answered promptly "NO." But, said
he, DO indOrse it under certain circumstances
and those circumstances are now upon u.s.
Then added: " If the Republican party do not
stay their hands in the prosecutions and indig-
mites heaped upon Democrats in Ohio, WE WILL
TAKE ARMS IN OUR HANDS and redress our griev-
ances by dreful revengel"
