Daring Capture of a Rebel Colonel.

letter dated at Port Hudson, La, Jan. 26th
gives the following account of the capture of
the rebel Colonel Bradford by Boston boy. a
private in the Sd Massachusetts, Cavalry:
"One of our scouts, Philbrick, of the Sd Mas
sachusetts Cavalry, recently rode out alone,
within the enemy's lines, and captured a rebel
Colonel, with an audacity that deserves especial
notice Col. Bradford was visiting his afianced
at plantation house four miles from jackson,
where he supposed himself entirely safe, for the
rebel pickets were within call. Philbrick, late
at night stole into the negro quarters and learn
ed from the slaves, who are always our friends,
all that he wished to know. Quietly fastening
his horse, he crept to the front door, burst it
open, and pistol in hand, astonished the assem-
bled party with the sight of a Union soldier on
the rampage. The scout thundered out his or
ders to an imaginary company through the back
window, kicked over the whist table, smashing
the goblets and a. bottle of Widow Clquot F"
that had probably paid recent duty at Baton
Rouge, disarmed the Colonel and took both him
and his servant prisoners, mounted them on
their own horses and brought them off amid the
tears and lamentations of the "affianced and her
friends. Through by-roads the unlu cky Colo
mel was brought safely to camp, and is now on
his way to Virginia with letter of in PRODUCTION
to Gen. Butler. The prisoner nearly ground up
a fine set of natural teeth when he learned that
his capture had been effected by single soldier,
armed no better than himself

A striking and Graphic Picture.

In letter to the New England Society
of New York city, on its recent anniversa-
ry, Senator Sumner, of Massachusetts, in
referring to the Mayfower, closes his let
ter as follows:
at is not forgotten that another ship
crossed at the same time, bufeting the
same sea 1t was Dutch ship with nine
teen slaves, which were landed at James
ton in Virginia, and became the fatal seed
of that Slavery which has threatened to
overshadow the land. Thus the same
ocean, in the same year, bore to the West
ern Continent the Pilgrim Fathers, conse-
Grated to Human Liberty, and it bore also
a cargo of slaves. In the holds of these
two ships were concealed the germs of the
present direful war, and the simple ques-
ton now is between the Mayhower and the
slave ship Who that has not forgotten
God can doubt the result? The Maytiower

SLAVERY GoNE.-The Baltimore Clip
per has letter from planter in Georgia
to an East Tennesseean, in which is the
following language:
81 am fully satisfied that Slavery is done
in this country, and am not much sorry for
it, if we could only have peace and quiet
the remainder of our lives. The Legisla-
ture of Georgia has passed militia act re-
quiring all men to be enrolled between the
ages of sixteen and sixty, to be turned over
to the Confederate Government on a call
from the President. So, yousee, after be-
ing robbed of everything We have made,
our negroes all gone, then put all the men
in the army, and leave our wives and chill
dren to starve under the name of freedom
for our homes and tiresides, is rich idea

Gen. Grant and the Proclamation.

The President received letter from
General Grant few days ago, fully indor-
sing the late message and proclamation
The General is with Mr. Lincoln on all
measures yet taken for the suppression of
the rebellion. 1t can also be stated on the
authority Of the President, that a letter
was received at the White House few
months since, from General Grant, in
which it is stated that the emancipation
proclamation and the arming of the ne
groes were the two deadliest blows yet
aimed at the rebellion. In the same letter
the General says he is not able to obtain as
many negroes as he desires because the
rebels run them off into the Interior but
he hoped to be able to do so when he got
further into the enemy's country. An ex-
tract from this letter was actually incorpo-
rated 0erbotum by Mr.. Lincoln into his eel
ebrated letter to the Springfield Illinois)
Union Convention. The New York Her
aid will be slow to believe these facts, but
if it will make the proper inquiry it will
ascertain the truth that it is supporting an
out and out abolition candidate for the
next Presidency Wash. Cor. CiRcin-

What We May Do.

No human being can be isolated and
self-sustained. The strongest and brayest
and most hopeful have yet acknowledged
and unacknowledged to themselves, mon
uments of hungry soul yearnings, for COM
panionship and sympathy. For the want
of this what wrecks of humanity lie strewn
about us. Youth wasted for the mocking
semblance of friendship. Adrift at the
mercy of chance, for the want grasp of a
true, firm hand, and kindly, loving heart,
to counsel. 1t is affecting to see how
strong is this yearning, so fatal to its pos
SCISSOR, if not guided rightly, such life
anchor is safely placed. '.Friendless F-
What tragedy may be hidden in that
one little word. None to labor for; none
to weep or smile with; none to care wheth-
er we lose or win in hfe's struggle. A
kind word or smile, coming to such an
one Unexpectedly at such crisis of life, how
often it has been the plank of the drown
ing man, lacking which he must surely
have perished. These, surely, we may
bestow as we pass those less favored than
ourselves, whose souls are waiting for our
sympathetic recognition. Fanny Fern.
