RELIGIOUS CouRrsHR.-A young gentle
man happened to sit at church In pew ad-
joining one in which a young lady for
whom he conceived sudden passion, and
was desirous of entering into courtship on
the spot; the exigency of the case suggest
ed the following plan: He politely handed
his fair neighbor Bible open, with pin
stuck in the following text-Second Epistle
of John verse fifth:-"And now beseech
thee, lady, not as though / wrote new
commandment unto thee; but that which
we had from the beginning, that we love
one another She returned It, pointing to
the second chapter Of Ruth, verse tenth
tgThen she fell ON her face and bowed her
self to the ground, and said unto him, Why
have found gfacein thine eyes, seeing that
/ am q stranger" He returned the book
pointing to the thirteenth verse Of the third
Epistle Of John--sHaving many things to
write unto you, would notwritewith paper
and ink, trust to come unto you, and speak
face to face, that our joy may be full.r
From the above interview marriage took
place the ensuing week.

1t may be unclvll TO talk Of ages, yet Mr..

lie was never "fanatic" " nor (technical)

parties, but never TO the Republican Of our day.
lie last supported Douglas for President, and
never publicly opposed or rcprobated any of
the bold strokes for mastery of the Slave
Power. lie is a L. s. Senator with several
years To serve, and can hardly be suspected Of
ambitious longngs. lie Is at home in Mary

This man rises in the Senate and calmly an

but those of mishief and peril, and proposes
that the putrefying remains be decently, de-

The Cairo Netss has been furnished with
copy Of an order issued by Brigadier General
Buford, commanding the I'd division Of For

He praises their conduct during the attack on
the fort at Paducah, making a feeling allusion
to the loss OF Colonel Thompson, commanding
the Sd brigade.
He asserts that they sllenced the guns of the
fort, and compelled one of the gunboats to
withdraw from the action.
The rebel loss Is stated at fifty killed and
forty wounded; the Federal loss twenty-seyen
killed and seventy or eighty wounded.
He concludes by informing the troops of his
intention to hold western Kentucky.
The actual loss of the Federal force was four
teen killed and forty-two wounded.
The rebel prisoners admit three hundred
killed and three times as many wounded.

The Now York ESe',ng Post, speaking of the
great argument Of Hon. Rovordy johnson, in
the Senate, In favor OF an amendment to the
Constitution providing for the abolishmcnt of
slavery throughout the United States, says:
1t is worthy of note, in the speech in which
Senator johnson urges the amendment, that
he assumes the highest grounds of justice and
right. He does not, like some of the Kentucky
Cnionists, whine over the necessity which com
pels the rellnqulshmeSt OF property in human
beings he does not justify emancipation on
any paltry calculations of expediency; but he
at once takes the tone Of the statesman, the
moralist, and the man of Individual selC-re-
spect, and says, this thing being wrong, 1t
ought TO cease.n
1t is an anomaly and shame that four mil.
lions of human beings should be held In bond.

be removed. What a rebuke is such manlness
to the pltiful and sneaking defences of slavery
still put forth, on occasions, by few northern
men, whose education has been wholly In

monster is a kind of spontaneous sycophancy

NEW YoRK, April Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Harrington authorIses the publi-
cation Of the following statement, In relation to
one that appeared in the New York World,
April Z: The statement that the interest on the
ten forty loan will probably be raised TO six per
cent. is incorrect. There Is no reason to doubt
that bonds bearing Eve per cent, principal and
interest payable in gold, will command all tho
money the Treasury will need TO borrow.
Instructions to national banks acting as loan
agents were issued March 20, and the subscrip-
tions reported to the United States Treasurer
up to April 9TH amounted 10 $S,607, 900. No
rapidly increase as soon as the various agencies
arc organized and in operation throughout the
country.
