drawn up by the side Of the road for \ Ser,
minutes whilst she went to a neiuhborins
house. A man coming ny soon after. was
attracted by peculiar noise and by Tho
singular condition Of the child. which Was
staring intcntly and with fascinated raze
into tree overhanging the road. On Iovk.
ing up, the man saw a huge blacksnsks
cooled around the tree, and looking tiirec "
into the eyes of the child, whist its disteni-
ed jaws and quivering fangs evidenced it,
hostile intent The man had no weapon
with which to attack the saske, SO raised an
alarm, which soon brought annmber OF
neighoors to the spot Weapons were nro-
cured, aud the snake was speedily kiiIed
The reptile was found to be about tho thick

five feet in length. Blacksnakes Of this

The New London Chronicle Republican
which had carried the name of Lincoln and
Johnson at its masthead. takes in its sign
with the following significant article:
GOoD-BY. LINCOLN.
We do not expect the Office holders who
nominated Lincoln to be honest, for their
business is to cocer up the kings dttormitses
and make his teprous spots look ,chite rs sno,c.
The intelligent and observant portion ol
Lincoln's supporters will gra1ua ~ work
around TO true knowlc &c Of the Prvsi-
dents character and be governed according
iy. But to the nim'lc- voiced parrots who
echo the sentiment Of the pop-suckers, we
would recommend a cessation from their
silly sobblngs lorg enough FOR them to read
the comments on Lincoln and his admins
tration, made by sach eminent copper
heads Horace S'rccicv. Bryant. -ris,:r,u,r
Weed, d.. b owason, and the Congressional
manifesto of ben Wade and Henry Winter
DAVIS.
We shall comment hereafter on the re-
MAJ kable and deserved d.nunciatons cf the
President, made by Wade and Davis. For
to lay we will content ourselves with arifi-
dra''i.g from tie support OF honest "Oid
Abe"
Among papers out West, which lately
have Withdrawn from Lincoln and taken up
Fremont, is the Kansas State Journal and

the Republican press who notice u, h"""e

tcrcstng to lockers on. AT first they scarce
~ deiancd TO look at it. With the h'sli
bred air OF contempt that turkey sob9icrs
are wont to meet strangers, not so much
even as a gobble escaped them f'r the ''f't
few days, and not yet has our nonpi'isaea
nd dumb(oundcd ncighbor awakened rom

= And we arc not surprised at IT, ior wiA'

have urged him to still greater aggressiohs
upon the rights Of the people, who have
scen without word Of remonstrance ana
with mt pity the liberty Of the citizen tai en-
away from him. for nm expression OF op.n-
ion-because of his political faith-what can
they say to such a shell as this, from 'her
own camp If the gates Of hell had sud
denly yawncd and swallowed up the " hite
House and all that therein is, the Rcpubii
can press could not well have been more as
tonished; though if we had been asked two
weeks ago which would have been the most
likely event. we should certainly have euass-
ed the latter.
That this manifesto originated III any
feeling Of patriotism on the part OF its au-
thors we d. not believe, for it Is an emotion
foreign to their natures. But we have !ong
since been taught to believe that God not
unfrcauentlv makes use ofba men 70 bring
about his plan III the government OF IA
tons. and so believing W recognize III tins
paper an evidence OF His justice, and that
He will still conicund Tie machinailors q.
the wicked. Whit their secret motive ny
be we do not care, they have unwi,tingly
done service to the cause OF their county
for which we are thankful; they have shown
up the usurpations of the President to 9
portion of the people whose ears are duni
party, and for this we will remember them
in our prayers.
We commend this paper to the careful pc
rusal Of the members Of the Republican
party. Bear in mind that it comes from
your own friends, men who have built u,
Jour party, and whose political lives de
pend upon the continuance in power Q
that party 1t is no "copperhead lc"n
foul e,nanation from traitorous lips
comes from the most loyal of the loyal
from those who, when the "interests of Coo
and humanity demand, have no more re
gard for the Constitutionthan yourselves o,
your party. Remember this, and give i, an
earnest, thoughtful perusa!, and then ask
yourselves if this be true, if the President in
this instance has SO rccklessly ovcrstcppcd
his authority, and attempted to make all
law bend Mt the dictate Of his personal am
bition, may there not be some truth in the
allegations of the Democratic papers that in
othcr instances he has done the same tlii =
from the same motive
We ask this Of you in all candor and sin
certify, as citizens Of common country
''thc last and taircst heritage of God to
man. whose salvation depends on voul
right action. We ask you further to econ
slider the remedy for these usurpations, and
having found it, fearlcssIy execute it."
