been duly authorized to open all her letters.
She did so on this occasion, read, turned

"What's the matter?'' asked her father.
The letter was from his son, Culpepper,
to the old family servant, and was in these
words:-- ...-.-..s . ...s.s a.....
DEAR ANJY,-I have very unpleasant
news to tell you. Your son Tony has been
shot by his master, Colonel Pegram, for
refusing to fight against the Yankees, and
trying to run away. Tony was much to
blame. He had been good boy till some
cenfounded Abolitionist put it into his
head that the Yankee scum were fighting
the battles of the black man; when, as you
well know, AMY, the true friends of the
black man are those who mean to keep him
in that state of slavery for which the Lord
plainly intended him. But Tony got this
foolish notion of the Abolitionists into his
head, and one day frankly told the Colonel
that he wouldn't fire gun at the Yankees
TO save his own life; whereupon the Colo
mel very properly had him whipped, and
pretty badly, too. The next day Tony was
caught trying to make his escape into the
Yankee lines. He was brought before the
Colonel, who told him that, for your sake,
AMY, he would forgive him, if he would
swear on the Bible not to do so again.
Tony refused to swear this, began to rave
about his rights, and finally declared that
he was free, first under Gods law, next
under the laws of the United States, and
finally under the laws of Maryland. There
were other negroes, slaves of officers, near
by, listening to all this wicked stuff, and
Pegram felt the importance of making an
example; so he drew his revolver and shot
Tony through the heart. How could he
help it, AMY? You mustn't blame the
Colonel, We all felt hecouldn't have done
otherwise. / saw Tony the minnie after
he was shot. He died easy. I Iemptied his
pockets. There was nothing in them but
a photograph of you, AMY, a printed print
ed proclamation by the wretched Yankee
tyrant, Abe Lincoln, and handkerchief
printed as an American flag. I'm very
sorry at this affair; but you must seek COM
fort in religion, and pray that your poor
deluded boy may be forgiven for his un-
and bad conduct. Affection
ately, "CULPEpPER."
This letter was read aloud-not by Bar
bara, nor by her father, but bv Mrs. Din
widdie, who exclaimed. as she finished IT,
Heres the result of your Yankee teach
ings, Mr.. Dinwiddie! There wasn't bet
ter boy than Tony in all Maryland. till the
Abolitionists got hold of him. Pegram
served him just right,-just as 1 would
have DONE" ss ...-.

OTTUMwA.--We paid short visit last
week to the little city of Ottumwa. 1t is a
flourishing, business place and bids fair to
become one of the largest and most impor-
tant towns in Iowa. 1t already has seve-
raj wholesale houses doing a good busi-
ness, and supports daily paper. We call
ed upon Mr.. Norris of the Courier with
whom we formed an agreeable acquaint-
ance. He is an enterprising publisher and
is doing much to build up the interests of
Ottumwa. He merits an excellent patron
age from the people of Wapello county.

1t is a remarkable fact that electricity
travels so rapidly that it may be sent
through gunpowder without igniting il.
and it is only when the current is retarded
that an explosion takes place. The pro-
gress of electricity is swifter than that of
light, being about two hundred miles q
second.

Eg~ We have been shown the plan and
drawings for the Presbyterian Church to
be erected on the corner of Fourth and
Green streets, near the present Church
building. 1t is to be IS by 90 feet, and is
estimated to cost about s., 600. The mate
rial is to be of wood with stone basement.
The plan is the work of G.. p. Randall, Ar
chltect, of Chicago. 1t strikes us as a mod
ell of good taste, and when completed will
be an ornament to the city. We UNDER
stand that the Building Committee will
commence the work in very few days
and push it vigorously. We hope our cit
liens generally will suitably encourage
this noble enterprise. Time was when
Eastern men, looking for homes in the
West, had occasion as they looked around
Ottumwa to inquire for the churches and
schoolhouses. On this last point they
need no longer ask questions. Our new
school building speaks for itself.
We hope the church improvements plan
ned and i'm progress will soon speak. equal
ly we'll for the enterprise and public spirit
of the community.
The plans Of the building are at Mr..
Thos. J. Devin's. Front rtreet, where thev
can be seen by those desirous of examin-
ing them.
