II seems from the Hydepark Newsdealer
that some Of the Stowe people are so very
jealous as to quarrel eb at who shall first
gee into the new meeting house. They broke
a door and window and that looks more
like passion than piety. Better break will
fulness than Windows
p. S. We learn from tho Argus that the
trouble was at the Universalist house, and
the cause was not piety, but politics. The
Argus charges that Hon. Geo. Wilkins head
ed the party which obtained control Of the
house, and held it for service by Rev Mr.
Cutting on the Sabbath, and says they are
the minority Of the Society. j. T. Parrish
is named chief OF the " copperheads. -
Sheriff Seaver did his best to preserve the
peace, but was overpowered and slightly in
Jured. and so was Mr. Parrish
From still another source we learn that the
ironble il personal rather than political, aud
we guess it is true.

NAPoLEoN's PLANS FOR MExIco.-For-
eign correspondents agree in asserting
that Napoleon is going to modify mate
rally his Mexican programme because
he is now convinced that the federal gov
ernnment will triumph in its efforts to
suppress the rebellion. He is confident
that persistence in his plan would bring
about war with the United States, and
now that his popularity seems to be
wanting at home he dare not run the
risk And besides, the archduke Maxi
milan will not consent to take the
throne without the friendship of the
United States is guaranteed to him, and
as this is impossible, he is henceforth to
be left out of the question entirely. 1t
is the superstition now that the emperor
will go back to the republican system,
and procure the election of tool of his
own as president, whom he will instate
in the place of Juarez This is the cur
rent story in Paris, where it is positively
asserted that President Lincoln has in
formed the French government that a
monarchy in Mexico would bring on
war with the United States.

which are In force You people of Ohio
have done glorious work In this war
Your soldiers have bravely represented
this State, on many battle field, glori-
Gus 10 the arms of the Union. But never
did Ohio strike such blow at the
rebellion as when her voice gave
hundred thousand majority in favor OF
the principles represented by John
Brough, Loud and prolonged cheers
That was one of the most terrible blows
the rebellion ever received. 10 was the
greatest victory of the age It's moral
force is above all computation
And your own city of Cincinnati, in its
great Sanitary Fair, has achieved anoth-
err victory which will have great mflu-
ence in the cause of freedom.
He also related the following incident
to show the great change in the senti-
ment of the people in his State
A regiment of 500 Arkansas soldiers
who have served in Mr., Prices army re-
turned home. ] was requested To ad-
dress them, and / did so. These men
represented oone-fourth of the State, for
many of them, privates though they We're,
We're prominent citizens = professional
men, Judges Of the courts, legislators,
etc, before the war. At the close of my
address, took a vote on the question of
returning to allegiance to the old Gov
eminent with slavery abolished, And
how many votes, think you, were given
in fayorl Just eight hndyed! There was
not a man of them who was not in favos
of retaining to his allegiance, and hav-
ing the curse of slavery removed from off
his State.
There seems little reason TO doubt the
concluding statement Of the speaker,
that in -four months time the people
of Arkansas will be ''back under the old
flag, with the curse of negro slavery re-
moved from their shoulders"

REPORTED REBEL PRoPosITIoNs.-The
st. Louis Republican publishes what it
considers reliable correspondence from
Memphis, which says that two import
ant propositions have recently been made
by the rebel authorities to the federal
government. The first is from a quar-
termaster of the rebel army at Herman
do Miss, acting by the authority of
Richmond officials. He has offered to
sell to Gen. Hurlbut, or to the United
States Government, all the cotton now
remaining within certain district vet
outside of the federal lines. This offer
embraces fifteen thousand bales of cot
ton which all belongs to the rebel gov
eminent. Greenbacks will be taken in
exchange. Gen. Hurlbut is said to IA
vor its purchase, and has recommended
that the proposition be carried into eff
feet. The second proposition is said to
be from Kirby Smith, who recently sent
an authorized messenger to Washington.
TO propose to the federal authorities to
furnish every requisite authority to get
out all the cotton in that portion of
Red river and Washita districts within
rebel control, the money for the Same to
be paid to that class of officers excepted
from the amnesty offered by President
Lincoln; they to retire from the rebel
army and not go to Mexico.
The carrying out of these propositions
would involve the complete disbandment
of the rebel forces in Arkansas, Missis-
sippi, Louisiana and Texas, and the i'm
mediate return Of these States to the
Union

sY" 1t is seldom indeed that an inven-
ton of any description, in any age of the
world, has stood the test of time and
competition against host OF formida-
BILE rivals with such unqualified triumph
as has been realized by the celebrated
Grover & Baker Sewing Machine. The
card published by this firm in to-day's
paper is d record of victories that NAV
well make them proud, and the tens of
thousands who are using them, happy
in the consciousness that, in selecting
this instrument in preference to all 9TH
ers, they are universally sustained by
the best judges in the land. Almost any
machine would receive an award of some
kind by being generally exhibited where
sver competition is invited: but this ma
chine has carried off the palm, not only
by the receipt of ONE, but more generally
of THREE FIRST PREMIUMS in q dozen
States of the Union, in a single season
The Grover q Baker Machine obtained
the highest premium for the best family
sewing machines, the best manufactur-
ing machines and the best machine work
this year in the State Fairs of New York,
Vermont Iowa Michigan, Indiana, Hi
nsis, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Ohio;
also at the Fairs held in Chittenden Co,
VT, Champlain Valley, VT Hampden
County, Mass and in Franklin, Queens,
Washington and Saratoga Counties,
New York. In other words, the Grover
q Machine has taken the first premium
wherever itnas been exhibited, without
single exception.-[ Philadelphia Press.

gives touching details of the anguish
and suffering of the inhabitants of the
place, many of whom hope and pray for
redemption, even at the hands of the
Yankees. In his opinion, the time is
rapidly approaching when it will be
found necessary to give up the city to

ton. All that cain, have of course left

81, 900, $50. The sales of this popular
loan last week, amounted to over S12,-

French OPINION OF President LIN
coLN.-The Paris correspondent Of the
New York Times writes -
The popularity of Mr. Lincoln has
been as much advanced abroad by his
late acts as in the United States His
maintenance of the act of emancipation
in his annual message has given i'm
mense satisfaction to all those not pre-
JUDGED by special reasons for the rebel
lion, and his sagacity, straight forward
ness and honesty in the midst of such
confusion and excitement called from VI.
Labonlay the other day at the College de
France before an immense audience of
the elite Of the intellectual world, tile
exclamation that MIR Lincoln was "a
greater man than Cgsarr' So, too, /
heard leading French politician say
lately: You Americans don't appreci-
ate Mr. Lincoln at his proper value.
No Monarch in Europe could carry on
such a colossal war i'm front while har-
raised by SO many factions and fault
finders behind. No, you don't give him
his due From an European point of
view the merit ofAIr. Lincoln is, in effect,
immense but in republic it is the
people and not the president who carry
on the war. The personal compliment
paid to Mr. Lincoln in the above remark
is, however, none the less valuable, and
on every side hear people begin TO say
that Mr. Lincoln win merit more than n
biography-he will merit a history

THE COMPUTATION CLAUSE. - Some of
the opposition journals which clamored
about the communication clause as Great
ing an "odious distinction between the
rich and poor" &c, got frightened a
few days ago lest the clause should
really be repealed in accordance with
their demands. The Cincinnati En-
quirer, one of this class, said
"An attempt will be made at the pres
ent session of Congress to repeal the
three hundred dollar exemption clause
in the CONSUMPTION act. We have OBJ
jected to that clause for the reason that
it favored the rich at the expense Of the
poor. We think it ought to be one hun
dred dollars, or perhaps smaller sum,
that would place it within the reach of
all. But we are opposed to the repeal,
if the object is to have no communication
price fixed at all. If it cannot be re-
duced, let the three hundred dollar
clause stand as it is. A repeal of it alb
solutely would allow substitutes to fix
any price they choose, and would work
most disastrously to the people. All
countries, even monarchial, that have
conseriptions, fix pecuniary limit for
substitutes, and if we adopt their law
we ought to follow their practice. We
hope every democratic and conservative
member will vote against the repeal of
the three hundred dollar clause, if the
proposition is not to reduce it. The
fact is, the Administration, with the
sum raised by money, can induce larg-
er number of the three year volunteers
to re-enlist than the services of the CON
scripts they thus would get by the re-
peal would be worth

Charleston,

A writer in the Army and Navy Jour
nal says that the plan Of attack upon
Charleston proposed by Gen. Gilmore
was as follows
south side of Morris Island, which it was
known the enemy were then strongly
terrifying.
Secoad-To besiege and reduce Fort
Wagner by which all the works ON Cum
mings' Point would necessarily fall.
Th6a-From the position thus gained,
to demolish Fort Sumter,
FotWth--The vessels of war to remove
the distractions at the entrance of the
harbor, and reach the city by running by
the works on Sullivans' Island,
The parts of this plan depending upon
Gen. Gilmore and his army, were carried
out long ago; and the country has been
awaiting the action Of the navy. If the
| latest adyices from Charleston are to be
! credited, " natural causes" have finally
done portion of the work assigned to
the navy, in removing the harbor OBJ
structions. These advices also repre-
sent the navy as still "quiescent." We
do not pretend to judge the reasons of
this long continued inactivity. 1t is
said, however, to have given the enemy
time to construct new defences, so that
| what was feasible for the monitors at
the time Gilmore captured Wagner and
1
Gregg, is very difficult if not impracti-
cable now. But patience is a jewel, and
| perhaps the navy has been waiting for
natural causes" to do the rest of its
| work.

SHOT FOR DEsERTIoN.
BEAUFORT, s. c., Jan.

BEAUFORT, >. u, Jan. D.
Private Joseph Strobe, who enlisted
as a substitute in New York, under the
fictitious name of Jas. Murphy, for the
55th Pennsylvania volunteers, was shot
here to-day at three O'Clock, p. m, for
desertion. He got in quarrel with his
wife at home, and under the impulse of
the moment, enlisted, and arrived here
about five weeks ago, and soon got pos
session of row boat, and escaped to
st. Helena's Island, where he was cap
tured by the pickets Of the 1st South
Carolina Volunteers. He was tried by
court martial, found guilty, and to-day
met his fate with very great bravery.
After touching address, and farewell
to his companions in arms, he stood up
facing the twelve muskets pointed at
him, and gave directions where they
should hit him. He died with seeming
great penitence. E. VS..
