Od Bucks Neanness The Lancaster
Examiner relates the following incident of
old Buck parsimony and meanness
We understand that when the committee
appointed by the citizens of Lancaster
township to collect funds for local bounty,
waited upon ex- president Buchanan they
were received very cody and cavalierly- -
The old public functionary' when asked
to subscribe, said he did not think it right
to raise volunteers in that way that it
was the duty Of every young man to serve
his country, and he should v0luntcer his
services; that when he was young man
he did SO and marched to Baltimore, but
he would hold the matter under advise
ment, and the committee could call again.
The committee (his own immt date neigh
bors) left with extreme disgust at this un-
patriotic and miserly dodge of the old
traitor. Alterward, when they were told
by an ignorant worshipper of Buchanan
that if they would call he would subscribe,
the offer was Indignantly rejected Poor
er but better men than the old dotard Of
Wheatland ] ad the amount necessary and
his money, drawn from the treasury of
government he had done his best to de-
stroy, was considerably and righteously re-
fused.

Good Manners Among Children.

1t is graceful habit for children to
say to each other, will you have the
goodness ? and i thank you We do
not like to see prim, artificial children;
there are few things we dislike so
much as miniature beau or belle.
But the habit of good manners by no
means implies affectation or restraint
1t is quite as easy to say, Please give
me a piece of pie as to say Il want a
piece of pie The idea that constant
politeness would render social life stiff
and restrained, springs from a false es-
innate of it. True politeness is per-
feet ease and freedom. 1t simply con-
sists in treating others just as you
would like to be treated yourself A
person who acts from this principle
will always be said to have sweet,
pretty ways with her. 1t is of some
consequence that your daughter should
know how to enter and leave a room
gracefully; but it is of much more con-
sequence that she should avoid what
is offensive to others, and always pre-
fer their pleasure to her own.

Niek-a Jack Cave.

n correspondent writing from Bridge.
port, Alabama, to the Louisville ,Iournal
communicates the following concerning a
cave near that place:
This celebrated cave is situated in the
most eastern corner Of Tennessee, and is
/ one OF the most remarkable works Of nature
/ IN existence. 1t is one hundred and thirty
miles from Nashville, on the Nashville and
Chattanooga Railroad The adjacent
station TO the cave is Smellmound The
hrst look at this cave does not impress one
with Its wonderful magnitude The front
is somewhat irregular and of brown
graylsh granite rock The opening is
about forty feet high and some one hun.
dred and thirty feet in width On enter
ing you begin to think you are in the
deserted residence of giants Nature tossed
everything about as if in disdain and de-
lance of earthly architects The cave is
said to extend nice miles back, but four
I miles is the turthest any explorer has been
known to reach. From the main road, if
l might so speak, there are vast veins of
nice soft earth, in which may be seen salt
petre, mixed in large quantities, and look
ing exactly like soda The rebels. ere
they were driven from this stronghold.
worked the mine extensively in procuring
this, to thela, invaluable article. One
hundred men were engaged, aud the traces
OF the excavations are fresh yet 1t is
estimated that they procured one thousand
pounds per week OF pure saltpetro, with
even their rough implements and poor
means Of procuring it. Through the cave
runs pure, clear, crystal little river from
three to five feet deep, and from six to
thirty feet wide. Sailing in little light
canoe, half filed with water, you can pad
pie up the stream one mile and half,
when you come to the solid granite and !.
stand still. The river gushes from out
the rock, aud 10 one knows whence from.
In 1t are tiny, little, eyeleSs fish called

ns1~ We ask loyal men, whether they
be Democrats or Republicans, to observe
one fact, which is this--the Copperhead
editors are continually and persistently
abusing President Lincoln and every
measure of our Government, but have
nothing to say against JEFF Davis or the
treason Of the South. Now. if these Cop
perheads are not sympathlzers with treason
and enemies Of our Government, how is
their conduct to be explained

The President and the Army.

Extract from private letter, April q
'Day before yesterday there was con-
siderable excitement in consequence of the
passage through the city, e@ route for ''the
'front.'" of the army of General Burnside.
When l assure you that it took nearly the
entire day and evening for it to pass from
Washington to Virginia, need hardly re-
mark that it was a large body Of troops.
The President. with uncovered head, stood
on the balcony at Wizards, to sec it pass
from twelve noon until half past fonr in the
afternoon. Part of the time it rained quite
heavily but the honest-hearted man would
not be induced to put on his hat: For the
gratitude thus manifested by .hePresident to
this brave army shall always feel for him
the deepest and most lasting admiration.
The whole of the army, i'll passing, bestowed
upon him such thunders of cheers as never
before listened to, and very few Of the men
passed without taking off their hats and
waving them in the widest manner Many
of the troops were colored, and a few Of
them Indians. the Indians halted before
their Great White Father" whirled their
caps in the air, and gave him three times
three such cheers as it would have done any
loyal heart good to hear. By the time the
last troops had passed him, the President
God bless his honest, patriotic, devoted
heart , looked so weary, and yet so CRATE
full, that it brought tears to my eyes to see
him."

Have you ever been in a negro corral ?

SICK or well, are sent there as soon as they
enter our lines. There is nothing provided
Tor them OF the furniture or clothing kind

few rags and bed-clothes they have then
to sleep on; nothing provided. Very sool
they get sick, and, if they must die, the soon
er they die the better, as thousands hav
done and more will. Home sickness prevail

Senator. Dooli.tle's Speech.

We publish in this number Of our paper a
portion of the speech of Senator Doolittle, on
the bill providinga temporary government
for the Territory of Montana. We invite the
attention of our readers to this speech for
special reasons. The course of Senator
DoolittIe in respect to the rights of coIored
persons, has been made the subject of unjust
commentary in the opposition press.
He has been charged with inconsistency,
because protesting to be in favor Of the rights
of the colored race, he nevertheless sympa-
thizes with the popular prejudice against the
negro The speech of our Senator we
think, is full and complete vindication OF
his position as a consistent anti -slavery
man, and we doubt not will be so regarded
by our readers. The danger Of multiplying
new issues, and thus distracting the friends
Of the Union, is most clearly and forcibly
pointed out. There is now most vital ne
costly for unity ofpurpose and action among
all true friends of the country. The vigor-
GUS prosecution of the war, for the suppress
sion of the rebellion, and the determination
of the producing cause of cur present civil
war, is the central idea which should
pervade the loyal heart Of the nation. When
the war is ended and treason crushed out, it
will be time to discuss negro suffrage, as
well as many other matters of like conse-
quence, which will naturally come before
the people. Until then, union men cannot
afford to waste their strength by the intro
duction of new issues. Such we understand
to be the views of Senator Doolttle, and
such we believe will meet the approval Of
the loyal people of Wisconsin.
