SHEPHERDSTOWN JEFFERSON COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA. SATUR
A Drunkard's Musings.

Another morn, aye, proud it dawns up
on the world in unsullied beauty bringing
to the pure young mind, sweet visions OF
a glorious future, fraught with happiness
and 10Y, when fame shall wreath halo
round their names, and wealth shall bless
them. I,too, dreamed thus once;but alas!
ambitious fancies all have fed-buried
in The tomb of the departed, whilst l must
still live, exist, prey to hends, and tar
get for the finger of pity and scorn.
Oh, rags! remnants Of SUMMER days,
draw more closely round me; shut out the
world that it's taunts and jeers may not
goad me TO disPair with whlsperings OF
lifetime lost.
Within the space Of ten short years
what fearful "change has come Ger the
spirit of my dreams" Then the world
was spread before me in all lis pristine
beauty; the path of fame 9nd honor clear
ly limued, and within my grasp. Now
all is dreary darkness, and hopeless des-
pair. Blessed with the tender love Of an
angle wife, ,aad the pratling cherub' whose
influence combined to render home Par
idise, | was indeed among the "chosen OF
earth"
Months passed-months in which the
cup of Joy brimmed full TO overhowing'
and we drank deeply of It's contents; but
in an evil moment the temPter came and
dashed it in sbiyering fragments to the
ground. Oh, GoD, in thy mercy descend
and tear from memory's page the record
of misery which followed.
Each moment found the serpent, Dnnk,
Tightening his coils around me; each hour
nv spirit sank deeper IN the mlre OF per
dilion, until al last, had given myself,
body and soul, to the fend Left alone
to struggle with a cold, bard world, my
poor wife toiIed bravely, TO procure tor
herself and little one paliry substance,
but in vain; and when the first SHOWS OF
winter fell, these two frail flowers, clasp
ed in mutual embrace, sank TO rest; their
spirits sought happier home; coroner S
inquest, verdict, "Frozen 10 death! -
the grave yawned, and they were lost 10
me forever.
Rum! rum! Give me drink 10 drown
remembrance of the shapeless shadow
which haunts my soul, crying "ven'
geancew Of the pale wan face, stealing
through my dreams, pointing TO the pinch
ed features Of starving babe, asking food
and branding me a murderer. Oh, Nora
angel wife, fearGully have you been aven'
ged, for existance is curse, and dare
not seek DEATH

Incident Of the Great BattIe.

The following from Northern paper
was handed TO US for publication, which
we cheerluIy insert. Inquiries have
been made to US with reference TO the
fate of this youth.
Whilst reporter was on tour OF IN
spection to the wounded, al the late bat
lie a! GelIysburg, he had his attention
drawn TO a singuIarIy beautiful young
man, upon whom death had already SET
bis mark. While admirlag his tender age
and fragile build, the young sufferer open
ed his soft hazel eyes, and looking up,
said:
won't you please raise my head and
rub my hands!-Il cramps co."
The reporter complied, and asked OF
him his name. lie stalled that 1t was
James Warner, OF Loudoun county, Viz
ginia.
II was then he knew this Young suffer
er TO be IN the rebel service. Upon ques-
lioning him, he stated that he never enter
ed the rebel service willrgly-lhsI both
of his parents were Union people.
"Won't you tell my mother, when you
get an opportunity, that am happy, and
expect 10 meet her in heaven! Will you
give me q drink, and then shall die
easyT' ,
The reporter, of course, aequiesed' and
gave the little rebel sufferer all the atten'
ton and consolation he could besiow. As
he left big-frsmed and big-besrted soldiers
of the Union were standing by their late
enemy, showering over him their tears,
and blessing him with that attention tia!
only the brave know how 10 bestow.

How True.

The following beautiful tribute TO Flr'
gina is taken from the Columbus (OhIo)
Crisis:
Glorious old Virginia, mother Of States
and cradle Of statesmen, who gave TO The
old Government its principles, to The old
Union its territory, and to both their glo-
ry; who FIVE years ago, with mother
kindness, struggled in vain TO command
peace between the warning elements
Norih and South, and lhen became the
fortress and grave of a gigantic revolution
.-chivalrous old Virginia is now wearing
the garments Of an unmerlted humIIlauon
and oppression! Her offspring have out
grown her, and used their strength in the
ungraleful task of breaking down her bull
warks, uampling upon her rights, humIIia-
ting her ancient pride. devouring her sub
stance, and eudeaVoring, though vaInly,to
spoil her Of her honor and fame. The
first TO give liberty to a continent, she is
visited with the worst and most lerocious
punishment for adherng to her ancient
faith. Her history is misrepresenled, her
monuments are defaced, her archieves de-
suoyed, her people are ouraged,her chi-
dren are exiled, and every petty minded
popniay takes pride in insulting her or
in palronzing her, with the idea OF the
fool who writes his name in filth upon
the pyramid, in hope of Partaking OF lis
Immortality. The "descendants OF the
Pilgrims" have especial spite against her,
peculiar hatred such as onl yPurIans
can feel, and they display it by alternate
y Iecurng, rdicuIing and robblng her.
Bot there are some things impossible even
to Puritan hatred and popular prejudice
They cannot eface the history OF Virgin
ia, they cannot rob her Of her fame, they
cannot tarnish her honor. Among the
reasonable and Just, misfortune is not dis
honor; insult and injury heaPed upon the
disarmed disgraces not 'he victim, but the
assailant. SenseIess oppression is no
enduring; and already the world looks on
the mad eGoyts of despols to degrade Vlr'
ginia with contempt and disgust they
never lel, for her. Virginia, great in heI
glory, grand in her despair, will survive
her presen. agony, and one, rehabilitated
in her former rights, will assume her place
among the sovereignties Of the earth.

FiYHled Ont.

The proposition put on foot sometime
since TO mature measures for replacing the
5000, 600 Of which the banks were plum
dered year ago, il seems, has fzzIed out.
The Committee of citizens previously
appointed TO cooperate with the Munlcl-
pa! authorities IN relation TO the matter,
made a report on Saturday evening last,
which was that said Committee could not
act until the Corporation assumed the
debt. That such conclusion should be
arrived at is not surprising TO any one, es-
peclally when we take mo account the
fact, that nearly all, if not all, the gentle
men composing The Commillee, were in
favor, from the very start, Of saddllng the
burden upon the citizens of the town.
| The Committee was appointed solely for
the purpose Of representing certain facts
10 the Government in connection with the
bank robbery, with a view Of having
them remuneraIed by the confscariOn of
rebeI property, end not 10 discuss and de-
eide upon the propriety or feasibility OF

ed the coniscatlon of MAJ. Harmon's S
property, or so much of il as might be
necessary to refund the money he stole
from US during the last rebel raid, and
when it was discovered that this dGty
could not be performed without provo
king smiles of Washington officials, on
account Of no one being willing TO father
the debt, the Committee should have
made known that fact, and then resigned
N order to make way for the appointment
of another. The lrulh is, the whole
lhing " as bOtched from the very begin
ming. Instead ofaPpoinllng Committee
composed entirely Of gentlemen already
commiued TO the policy of showing the
debt on the Corporation, it should have
embraced the names Of some at least, who
Represented other interests besides those
of the banks. In this way harmony OF
action would have been secured, and the
probabilities are that success would have
crowned our efforts. Among other sug-
geslions made al the meeting Saturday
night, was one, that the Corporation as
sumo the burden, and then institute suits
agains, Maj. Harmon and other leading
rebels in Virginia. This arrangement no
doubt, will be readily assented to, provi.
ded sufficient guarantee is given that the
suites will terminate favorably to the
CoIporalion.-IrederiCk ETaminer.

ChiIlico,he, Ohio, made the following
statement in regard TO President Johnson's

said he regarded the local governments

that il they be found s,raying oack into

to prevent them from again making the

regard TO The recent election in Richmond,
the President said that it was with his
sanction that the military authorities had

as an example Of what might be expected
in other cases OF similar kind"

NV Mother.

Ii is truly said the first being that rushes
10 The recollection of soldier or sailor,
in his hearts difficulty, is his mother.
She clings to his memory and affection in
the midst of all his forgetfulness and hard
ihood, induced by rowing life. The
last message he leaves is for her, his last
whisper bresthes her name. The mother,
as she inslills the lesson of piety and fIal
obligations into the heart OF her infant
son, should always feel that her labor is
not in vain. She may drop into the
grave, but she has left behind her infu-
ence that will work for her. The bow
is broke, but the arrow is sped, and it
will perform its Office.

The White EIouss Plantation.

The White House plantation, three
thousand acres in exien', deserves notice
from It's sncien; and recent associations.
Here Genera Washington married the
widow Cusils, OF whose family u was,
even 10 those days, the ancient homestead.
1t descended 10 her son, the late George
Washington Park Cusus, by whom II
was bequeaIhed 10 the children Of Gener-
al K. E. Lee. The dwelling house, from
which the plantation derived its name,
was used by The Federal army as depot
in 1862, and was burnt by General Stone
man during McClsllsn's retreat from The
line of the ChIckabominy. From thaI
lime TO the conclusion OF The war il was
unculivsled, being al all times occupied
by The troops OF one OF the other Of The
hostile armies.
After the surrender Of General Lee. bis

When the fercest charge they made

But before we reached their line
They were beat back dIsmayed,
And heard the cry

And lhe oo,r heart almost gay
As we think of seeing home

Our readers are already familiar with
the details OF the disaster on Lake Huron

lives were lost. Here is an incident
connected with the disaster, which Is OF
more than ordinary interest:
Ii ever a man earned the distinction oil

FIRST engineer Of the Paw able. Las! win.
ler he became the husband OF an idOlIZed
snd idolzIDg wife, and this was her brst

ilsIon occurred. The second engineer
came 10 hIm and said Save yourself

probability, had no idea that the boat was
on TIE point OF sinking, aud thought only
Of his duty to stand by his post, and &C.
cordingIy replied that he would not de-
cert the engine to the last. HIS wife be-
came frightened and clung to hlm, but he
told her TO be calm, saying he would take
