Nothing can be more touching than to behold
a soft and tender woman, who had been all weak
ness and dependence, while treading the pros
porous path Of life, suddenly rising in mental
force to be the comforter and supporter under
misfortune AS the vine which has long twined
its graceful foliage about the oak and been lifted
by it into sunshine, will, when the hardy oak is
stricken by the thunderbot, cling around it
with its caressing tendrils, and bind up its shat
tered boughs, so woman who is the dependent
and ornament of man in his happier hours,
should be his stay and solace when smitten with
sudden and irretrevable calamity

AT the Inauguration of the Lord Mayor of
London, Nov 9th, at the Guildhall, Lord Pal
merston, in an eloquent speech, spoke cheeringly
of European politics. In regard to America he
said a-a q
"There is one dark spot in the picture which
the affairs of the world present. That dark
spot lies on,the other side of the Atlantic. We
grieve, and every man ofsoundmind must grieve
that that bloody and disastrous war which broke
out more than three years ago among the kim
derd nations of northern America, still RACES
still lays waste the fertile plains of that conti-
nent-still bedews with the blood Of its people
those forests and tracts of territory which ought
to be cultivated and become sources of wealth,
pleasure and happiness to mankind. We may
earnestly trust that human nature will not long,
er permit that deadly and disastrous strife to
continues that the contending parties in period
not remote, will find it much better to be recon-
ciled than to fight; and those disputes which
have bedewed that continent with fraternd
blood, will be settled by an amicabe arrange
ment between themselves cloud cheers. The
beginning Of the strife was expected to be atteu-
ded in this country with most disastrous results
to manufactures Theseaarms have been found
grounuless. At all events, out of evil may come
some good and 1 trust in future our sources of
supply will be spread over n great portion ofthe
globe and that we shall no longer be dependent
on any one country for materials so essential to
the industry and prosperity Of onr own coun-
try"

Lewiston Correspondence.
LEWISTON. Feb. 9. 1864


EDS. STATESMAN The express from
your 'burg" has just arrived, freighted with
another Acting Governor, in the person of
Acting Secretary Silas d. Cochran. The
mutability of our Territorial government
bids fair to pass into proverb with future
generations, if nothing more. Two Govern
ors and two Acting Governors within two
yeats time, and scarcely another Federal Of
fc represented certainly exhibits a singular
.sca5e 81 affairs, to say the least. While wri-
| ting this letter, the f" Acting" has made his
bow aud [" essayed his maiden speech in his
new capacity. He tells the people that his
administration will be conducted to please
/ himself" and that so far as he or the Office
are concerned, nothing will satisfy him but
! the " strict administration and execution of
the law to the letter." that he will follow
with scrupulous exactness authoritative in
structi0ns from Washington, striving so to
conduct the business of that Office that JUS
tice may once more WELD her golden scep-
tire over our much misrepresented and much
abused Territory. The general clamor IA
vors giving him chance; so, doubtless, his
acts, in the absence of higher authority,
will be recognized, both here and at Wash
ington Now if the worthy "Acting" could
but draw for what money was due from Gov
ernment to the Territory, your correspondent
is ready to believe that he could get the
largest petition ever got up in this Territory
for his permanent appointment to that Office,
and small pension besides.
That mysterious individual, "Smith, y who
,ca8 appointed, near year ago, as Secretary
seems, from that moment, to have Stunned
the light Of day and betook himself back to
his old Virginia home" or some other
/ portion of Gods foot-stool, where bis anx-
ious Idaho friends will never find him. He
was said to be repeutant rebel, and came
/ through our lines to Washington, where he
excited the sympathy of Attorney General
Bates, who got him a lucrative position in
| the Department of the Interior 1t is just
/ possible that the Hon Mr. Bates may have
/ been imposed upon in this matter, and Smith
may have been an emissary from JeH.'s do
minions, for all we know to the contrary
This hypothesis is somewhat strengthened
when we reflect that the utmost silence has
been maintained with regard to him, since
the simple announcement of his appoint
ment. ode Witt Clinton Smith, tchere art
thou? In this connexon | will merely add
that it is not positively decided yet whether
/ the signature of our new Acting Governor
shall be "Silas d. Cochran of Cochranville," :"
or plain "Silas D. Cochran, State of Maine.
1 shall probably be enabled to inform you in
my next.

listed in the army at St. Paul, MINI, with her
husband, 1851 and fought by his side in thebat-

once prisoner; three times wounded-in hand

her sex known to her General and was
discharged. After that she walked ninety-three
miles, from Lexington to Louisville, bare-head-

ABOUT TOWN,

@ADSNA AN"-'5
Business is looking up; or, more properly
speaking, our people are making preparations
for it to do so: corrals, stables and feed
yards, are replenishing and reftting; dwell
| ing houses and stores, etc., are in demand,
and the prospect now is that Lewiston will
exert herself the coming season to secure as
much trade as naturally comes to or passes
the iuntion of Clearwater and Snake rivers
The warm, beautiful days and clear, moon
| light nights attract the "pale flowers" upon
the thoroughfares, and as a natural conse-
quenco, they are met by well shaven and
clean shirtcd gallants, which is quite an adj
ditiOn to the street scenes, and an improve
ment upon its appearance in mid-winter,
when there is little danger of meeting these
tender plants in our street rambles. Balls,
socials, hops and surprise parties follow each
other in rapid succession, and not unfre-
quently two are appointed for the same even
ing. Upon such occasions one party apollo
gizes and both trip through The waltz and
and scottische to the same music. Another
"link in that chain" that is to bind our two
sections together was forged few days ago,
in the marriage of Mr.. B. Norton, of Lewis
ton, to Miss Jane Bowers, of the Pataha
Thus old Bachelordom has lost one of its
most promising votaries and the beauties of
Washington one of their brightest orna-
ments If your correspondent was permit
ted to give his opinion Of this annexation
question, from the evidences presented
through the medium of different P o. sta.
tions along the road, he would say that the
number of billet deaur, rapidly on the in
crease from that quarter, exhibit frieudli-
ness of feeling truly alarming to the lovers
of "good oysters and "goOd CLANS"
PEEP BEHIND THE SCENES.
Your correspondent was this day shown a
letter written at the headquarters Of the ar
nay of the South, which gives rather diff
ferent coloring to the operations of the negro
soldiers from that so carefully narrated in
the correspondence of the N. Y. Times and
Tribune. The writer, although evidently a
strong supporter of the present Administra-
ton, relates the incidents of a series of bat
ties recently fought between Hilton Head
and Savannah, whittier they were ordered to
cooperate with Sherman. 1t will be recol-
lected that this branch of the service was
organized and school of instruction estab-
lshed at this point some two years since,
and it is fair to presume that with the bene-
fits derived from learning the perfect use of
arms, and military tactics, that this represen-
tation will compare favoraby with the truth
in all cases where slave troops have been
brought in contact with white ones. He
says: "Negro troops are a humbug. Every
negro regiment we had here broke and ran
to the rear on the first fire, and the only way
we could keep them up to the scratch was by
firing on them and driving them back. One
of the negro regiments charged the rebels
the first day and the rebels let some blood
hounds loose on them, and the cursed blacks
broks and ran at the sight Of them I sue

Just received from San Francisco; ~
"Mrs NJ is going East. You have met her.
Did you ever hear her history2 Her life has
been marked bymany strange Vicissitudes. IL
has been her lot to experience alternately more
of Joy and sorrow, wealth and poverty than is
generally allotted to mortals. When quite
young she was one Of the passengers on the NJ
fated steamer Artic. Her father and fnothet
were both lost, and she saved by being lashed
to a fragment of the wreck When she arrived
in New York she was adopted by wealthy IN
Gle, who n bis death bequeathed her large
fortune For a number of years she moved in
the best society of the great metropolis, courtea
and hattered by all who met her. The abscond1
ing of her banker reduced her to poverty. Dis.
daining to accept charity, she connected herself
with the public schools in the capacity of teach
er. While engaged in this vocation she became
acquainted and married one of the merchant
princes of New York In company with her
husband she made the tour of Europe, visited
the Holy Land, and trayersed the river Nile al
most to its source. While returning, her hus-
band was captured by band Of savages, and
after vain efforts to discover his whereabouts
she returned again to her native country to find
herself by the caprices of fortune again rendered
penniess At the breaking out Of the rebellion
she entered the Union army as a nurse, and af-
ter the battle of Malvern Hill, while attending to
the wounded, discovered her husband whom
she had given up as lost or dead among the
wounded. He had escaped from captivity, and
returned just in time to participate in the battle
She continued with him until he lost an arm,
and then retired from the service. Two years
ago they crossed the plains, and he arrived at
Reese River when the excitement in regard to
the mines first broke out there. After accumu-
lating snug fortune, he started for California,
but died on the road Determining 20 secure
her wealth by sure Investment, she bought real
estate. The title proved defective, and after
long litigations she was again reduced to pow
erty. For some months past she has been study
ing for the stage--a calling for which she is en-
inently qualified BY the last steamer from the
East she was notified that she is again the pos
SCISSOR of an immense fortune left her by the
brother of her husband, who was resently killed
