A CASE OF CoNscIENcE.-Dr. Sprague
relates, in the annals of the American
Pulpit, a curious case of conscience:
DIR. Gay had, for some time, missed the
hay from his barn, and was satisfied that
it was stolen. With a view to detect
the thief, he took dark lantern and
stationed himself near the place where
he supposed he must pass. In due time,
a person whom he knew passed along
into his barn, and came out with as large
a load of hay as he could carry on his
back. The doctor without saying q
word, followed the thief, and took the
candle out of his dark lantern and stuck
it into the hay upon his back, and then
retreated. In a moment the hay was in
light blaze and the fellow, throwing
it from him in utter CONSERVATION, ran
away from his perishing booty.
The doctor kept the affair secret, even
frem his own family and within a day
or two the thief came to him in great
agitation and told him that he wished to
confess to him a grievous sin that he
had been tempted to steal some of his
hay; and as he was carrying it away,
the Almighty was SO angry with him
that He had sent fire from Heaven and
set it to blazing upon his back. The
doctor agreed to forgive him ON condition
of his never repeating the offence.

THE funniest story of the age is told
by Detroit paper. A lady suspected
her husband Of improper intimacy with
the hired girl. Without informing her
husband of her intention, she sent her
servant off that night, and went to sleep
i'm the girls bed. She hadnot beelpthere
long, when somebody came in and took
the other half Of the bed. About two
hours after, the wife arose, Intending to
reveal the infidelity of her spouse, struck

THE labor question is assuming a
perplexing phase in Richmond. This
week thirty negroes at work on the
Richmond and Petersburg railroad, get
ting $15 per month and found, have
struck for higher wages. They strike
not because they cannot. live on what
they get, but because they have the
Freedmen Bureau to fall back on, where
rations can be drawn without trouble.
What they get Including their food) is
nearly what a white laborer would get,
and the white man would do twice as
much work. / think these evidences
will show the North that we are trying
to work the negro and he won't work.
The advertisement which brought these
negroes to the company was for "colored
laborers' no whites being advertised
for. In Nottoway, ON the farms in one
neighborhood, the negroes "passed the
word among themselves that they
would not 60 to work in the field here
after until nine o'clock, A. M. Of
course this was not submitted to, and
the "mutineers' were driven off. On
one farm the fodder is all standing I'M
gathered. We can all understand that
some allowance must be made for a
race of people who are just emerging
from the darkness of slavery into the
light of freedom, but very few Of us
are willing to foot the bill for those
little freaks the enfranchised indulge in
before they become steady-ggoing free
men. 't'eF ilf= il''4'' +

Atthe Confessional.

John Bull is at the confessional. He
makes a clean breast of it; admits tina:
he has behaved stability toward us, and
tina, our bad opinion of him is well
grounded. Earl Russell, in speech on
the opening night of Parliament, made the
important declaration that England had
in some respects grossly departed from
the spirit of strict neutrality in her con-
duet on the American question; while the
London Times. the early, fast, consistent
fri nd of the rebels, acknowledges that the
story of the rebel pirate Rappahannock
"diScloses very gross abuse of our
(Bnti$h) neutrality by some person or
persons unknown" 1t adds that 1.-THE
acqui,tal of the defendant. Mr.. Rumble,
only proves that in the opinion of the
jury he was the tool of others; it does
not in the least degree negative the fact
that fragrant breach of the Foreign En-
hstment act was committed" Among
the revelations brought out on the trial
was that the RappahanRock was towed
out from an English harbor by an English
Government tug, commanded by an OFF,
Ger of Her Majesty's Navy and Her Maj
esty's Naval colorS Auttering at her stern
And the scandalouS spectacle was wit
messed by hundreds of British officials and
private citizens. That there was collision
between rebel agents and those wearing
the uniform of British officers, there is no
more doubt than that the sun rises in the
east.
We are glad that Engli>hmen are be-
ginning to get ashamed Of the part they
have played in the American controversy.
1t has been most unjust and unmanly.
All the moral weight of great Empire
has been thrown in favor OF Conspiracy
to overthrow friendly Power. When
the history of the war comes to be calmly
studied. the forbearancc OF our Govern
mcnt, in the face of the outrageS and in
suits heaped upon it by England and
will excite amazement.-,

Stage Company commenced yesterday the
running of daily trips to the East. We
really would like to see uninterrupted

The San Jose Courier states that four of
the Placerville stage robbers have been in
dicted by the Grand Jury, and admitted
to bail. Preston Hodges was indicted for
murder and treason, under the statutes of
1868; his bail was fixed on both at
$1,000. John A. Robinson, Jas. Grant
and James Wilson, were severally indict-
ed under the same statutes for treason,
and each admitted to bail in the sum of
$4,000. Henry Jarboe was discharged,
no bill having been found against him.

JERsEY.-One of the Free States, New
Jersey. has refused to ratify the amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States, abolishing slavery. BY some peo-
pie New Jersey is not considered to be a
part of the United States-a foreign coun-
try in fact, having no sympathy or feeling
in common with the rest of the country.
Il is certainly making strange record for
itself in this the most eventual period
through which we have ever passed. New
Jersey will be very much ashamed of her
self by and by.

ADVANCE OF CIvILIzATIoS.-The Sa-
yannah Republican says: In front of the
Courthouse, in this city, there has been
for many years a number of tables which
were used by Negro Brokers as auction
stands, for the display and sale of slaves.
The stands have disappeared with the ad.
vance of civilization (Sherman's army.
and have been used for tirewood to warm
abolition bodies" What a slim prospect
there is to-day for the calling of that
" slave roll on Bunker HILL which Bob
Toombs once informed Boston audience
he would live to do. By the time the first
of January, 1866. rolls around, there will
be but few spots on this fair heritage,
where the atmosphere will be polluted
with slavery.

Capture of Crook and. Kelley.

On the morning Of the 2lst ult., about one
o'clock, a small rebel force entered CumbGr-
land and took from their beds Gems. Crook
and Kelley and Captain 7. Melvin. ....
They camc in very quietly without firing .
gun, and halted III front Of the Revere aud
St. Nicholas Hotel, which stand close toseth-
or upon the same street. The rebels, without
appearing TO have made single inquiry OF
any one, made straightway to'thc rooms OF
Gems. Crook and Kelley, about half tue gang
remaining upon their horses in the street.
The door Of Gen. Crooks room ut the Revere
House was not licked, and the rebels entered
50 quietly, and took possession Of his body so
stealthily' that those who occupied adjoining
rooms knew nothing Of the capture until IT
was all over. The same quiet and caution
we're observed in the capture Of Gen. Kelley
aud Capt. Melvin, who occupied adjoining
rooms ut tho St. Nicholas.
They destroyed none Of tho papers at head.
quarters, and made no attempt to capture any
officers or men except those named. The
rebels were dressed in the uniform Of the
United States soldier.
