TRIAL OF THE MAGRupER MuRDERERs.-Th,

TRIAL OF THE MAGRUpER MURDERERs.-The
editor of the Lewiston Il. IT, Golden Age
thus describes scene during the late trial :
From the position we happened to occupy
during the time Page gave in his testimony
while he was coolly describing the scene of
the horrid massacre-in casting our eye in
the direction of the culprits, just over t,eir
heads through the window, and in a direct
line about fifty yards away, we caught sight
of a most impressive scene, one which will
be ineffacable while life lasts. There were
the innocent orphans of the late lamented
Magruder, in sportivc play on the porch eff
the residence of his heart stricken widow
in full view, while we were hearing all the
ample minute of detail, of the axe crashing
through the skulls and brains of some of our
best citizens; and how the murderers, in
order to avoid suspicion and exposure, burnt
and scraped the blood off the deadly wea
pons. That men have been so debased be-
fore, we have often read of, but this was the
first time we had ever been disgusted with
the sight of such cold blooded and accom-.
plished villains, and G d grant that we NAV
never witness the like again.

town, being asked by "a lady friend why
she did not marry a certain young man who
had been paying his addresses for some time,
replied: "I'd rather marry niger than
an Irish copperhead." If we were single

ENCOURAGING DEMocRATIc. vfEw or
VoLUNTEERING.-The New York World
shows how poor men may make q specula-
ton by volunteering, ~ follows: =.

with but small families, could not do het-
ter than to take advantage OF the large
bounties now offered, and, volunteer. Ia
stead of waiting to be pressed into the Ar
my. In the latter case they only receive
ordinary soldiers pay, but no bonnties Ell
ther from the national or county treasury.
Moreover We have no idea that thjs var
will last longer than the next 4th or March.
The present administration n the only
stumbling block in the way Of peace and
restored Union, and next November tho
people will give them notice to quit. So,
a. simple business speculation, poor men
with no prospect In their several business
occupations, could not do better than vol
nnteer Tor three years, and thus secure tho
large bounty offered"
This is an encouraging view. If the0o
eminent succeeds, the heavy fghtingof the
war will beAOver within year, and then
soldiers life will be gay until he is dis
charged. II the Democratic party succeed
they say they will end the war on the 4th
of March. Thus in either case soldiers win
get the large bounties for . abort term Of
service. We commend this view of tho
case to the Democrats. Now il the time to
enlist, when the triumph or eitherside viii
