THE PILOTS,
TUESDAY, JULY 25, 1865.

20 The Editor efths Norfolk Post:
A few words in regard to the pilot
ness. For the past four years there have
been employed by Government body
of men as pilots, and they have done
their duty faithfully and feorlessly. Two
of their number have been killed in the
discharge of their duty. The time has
now arrived when the Government re-
guires the services of these faithful men
no longer. These men have formed an
association known as the "Virginia Pr
lot Association" and are, at work, and
intend to do their duty FAITHFULLY and
.1edrlessly, as they have done before. -
They have been told by the Governor to
go to work, and they shall be protected.
The County Court at Norfolk has APP
pointed Commissioners, and they have
granted them licenses '-l INA.
Now, one word in regard to citizen
ship. Are not men who have been in
Virginia for four years, who are living
here, and intend to do so in future, en-
titled to the rights of citizenship. (I
think SO. )hit| '.
A few words more in regard to their
qualifications: You call them steamboat
pilots. Let me tell you that there are
men among them that can navigate a
ship around the world.
One word about the ''old Norfolk Pr
lots :" What is their record? When
they hauled their boats off the station,
they forfeited all rights to the business.
What have they done since +?
Have they done anything for Govern
ment? Examine their record, and you
will find it such, DIS youwill candidly adj
nit, that they should never be allowed
to pilot vessel again. -

Death of the Widow of Aaron Burr
--..i.. A Romantic History.

| A yerv remarkable character ended
her life nea.r New York last Sunday.
The following is the obituary notice il
the press of that city. "Died, on Sun
day morning, July 10th, at her late resi-
dence, Washington Heights, Mad. s'iz'
B. Jumel, in the ninety-second year Of
her age" The announcement reviyes
membranes of men and parties long
since forgotten. The deceased was born
on French frigate at sea- and was
motherless before the vessel reached
Newport, Rhode Island. Upon arriving
at Newport, the Captain placed the little
orphan in charge of benevolent lady,
by whom she was adopted and reared
She showed some precocity by clipping,
at the age of seventeen, with Colonel
in the British army, and took up her
residence in New York city. We copy
from the New York Times an interesting
account of the life of this extraordinary
woman, and her strange wedding with
Aaron Burr:
Brought at once into contact with the
best people in the city, the lady became
acultured woman of the world, fond of
its pleasures, versed in its intrigues, in
terested in the cabals of politicians, and
espousing with ardor one side or the
other of the continual military emeutes
with which the latter days of the eigh-
tenth century were so cursed in New
Yor city. She was present at the open-
ing of the first session of Congress at
Philadelphia, in September IVA; and at
the Inauguration of Washington as Pres
ident she created decided impression
by her beauty and general air of sduoi
tdire. She was about twenty years of
age then, and very elegant in person and
distinguished in bearing. Madame Ju-
mel first met Aaron Burr when he rank
ed as captain in the army, and was great
ly impressed by his power and express
sion. She was even then intimate with
Benedict Arnold, whose wife she fancied
her best friend, and with Patrick Henry.
in whose breast of reserve she started a
dangerous fire of love and passion: but
forgetful of those noted men, and of the
scores who bent willingly before her
shrine, she wrote thus of the man who.
in after years, was destined to be her
lord, if not her master. She saws:
captain Aaron Burr, in the hey-dav
of his youth, as he now was, appeared
to me the perfection of manhood ner-
sonified. He was beneath the common
size of men, only five feet and a half
high, but his figure and form had been
| fashioned in the models of the graces
Petite as he comparatively was, he had

What Is q Free Pressi

The Boston Courier quotes the follow
ing from the pamphlet of New York
lawyer" treating of the South, and the
froyernment which ought to be admin
istered there:
"The fatal heresy of supreme allegi-
| ance to State must be believed, If at
all, in silence. No expression of con-
tempt or hatred of the United States
should be tolerated. Above all, full and
entire liberty of the press, as 1t now ex-
lists ia the non-slayehOldingS States, must
exist there. And what a field Is here
for enlightened and patriotic editors!-
How long, under the potent influence Of
free press, would it be before the bright
light Of truth would shed its benefcent
radiance over those people, and dispel
the moral and mental darkness In
-hich, on one subject especially, they

press is demanded, but the o.. for.
of particular subjects is absolutely
bidden. 1t is clear that the writer de-
sires free press on one side of the dis
puted questions, but no press on the
other side" Whoever this New York
lawyer" may be; he falls into an error
which such Journals as the Boston Gov
rier adopted and urged as law and Cos
pei for many years; which its friends.
the Shareholders, continually insisted
on; and which the class of Northern =
politicians Familiarity known as Dough
faces" before the war, declared 10 pc the
rule of conduct in all discussion. Dis

slayerv.U The press ought to be free,
Int If Won saw slavery is wrong, you are

That was the doctrine preached and
nractised for years, both North and
South, by the partisans of slavery. And
so besotted were they and are they with
this notion, thatman of them justified
the shareholders in rebelling, upon the
ground that the continual agitation of
the slavery question by Northern fanat-
les" was gross wrong to them. That
is to say, because some men chose to ex-
ercise the right of free speech, which the
Boston Courier has lately discovered to
be important, therefore the Shareholders
were right in trying to destroy the
Union.
Nor is this spirit eradicated yet; for it
manifests itself continually in such jour
nails as the Courier, by denunciation OF
what they call radical agitation ana
appeals to the prejudices of their read
ers. We scarcely pick up journal OF
the kind in question that we do not ma

Mr. VIM. l.. Hop kins, or as he is more ia.

has, for the past six months, been
suffering the most intense agony from
pains in bis breast. The most. learned
physicians have attended him, but could
afford him no relief, they failing to dis
cover the character of his disease. A few
days since, while Mr.. Hopkins was NOV
ing about his chamber, he felt pricking
sensation about his left thigh. and upon
searching for the cause, lie discovered
the point of pin sticking through the
flesh. The pin was removed and found
to be corroded. Mr.. Hopkins, upon
removing the stranger, remembered that
about the time he was taken sick, he had
swallowed pin while eating a fish bali

Petroleum is shipped to almost every

duct-the export from New York thither
during last year being 6,275,0 900 gallons.
France is next in importance, her import
from New York having been 4,625,000
gaiions,s large increase upon the receipts
of 1868. The shipments to Antwerp
hare also been large, amounting to 4, ,l4O,-
600 gallons, against 1862, 900 gallons in
1863. Bremen has imported nearly one
million gallons Hamburg ], 5000, and
Rotterdam 433, ,090 gallons. The ship
ments to Cronstadt indicate large growth
in the demand in Russia-the export
having increased from $4,000 ga lions in
1863 to 1000 gallons in 1864. The ex-
port to Genoa, Leghoru, Trieste, Lisbon

Parade of Bounty Jumpers.

An indianapolis paper gives the fol-
lowing description of parade of bounty
Jumpers in that city few days since:
There were about a hundred aud fifty
in this squad of ''regulsrs" handcuffed
together by twos, with long rope rur-
ing between each two through the entire
length of the line, one end of which was
made fast to huge negro's lett hand,
while in his right he carried a large bell
On his breast he wore large printed
placard bearing the following Inscription.
Agency for Bounty Jumpers" On the
back of each of the others was placard
inscribed Bounty Jumper" In this way
they were marched through the principal
streets of the city, the old darky Changing
his bell aud the band bringing UP the
rear playing the ''Rogue's March" The
line was strongly guarded by infantry
Among these "jumpers" was man for
merly on the police in that city, and an
other whose wife had offered twenty FIVE
thousand dollars in gold to have her hus-
band released, but Colonel Warner
couldn't see it, nor anything else but the
Bumpers" going to the front. The city
had been overrun with such fellows for q
long time, and Col Warner was bound
to break it up, and took this successful
method OF accompl lshing it. !"

Long Dresses.

1--WE DO not see one lady in ten walk

temporary, without constant fdgetting
with the long skirts of her dress. Some
pin them up at regular spaces, giving
them very rumpled appearance others
wear pages or an elastic cord just below
the waist, pulling up the dress just as our
graudmothers used to do when they went
to scrub the kitchen others frantically
seize the side -breadths, holding them in
front, having the appearance of desperate
determination of sitting down the first
convenient opportunity. Some walk on,
letting their dress hang, are suddenly
brought upon the front breadth stumble,
founder, pull up, and try it again. Now
all this could be avoided. Modesty and
respect for the opinion of mankind demand
n reformation in this matter. If ladies
would ouly put a quarter of yard less
in the length of their dresses, they would
save the amount the goods cost, and as
much public observaticn-Home Journal.

A Very Great Rascal.

Two young lawyers, Archy Brown aud
Thomas Jones, were fond Of dropping in-
to Mr.. Smiths parlor and spending an
hour or two with his only daughter Mary.
One evening, when Brown and Mary had
discussed almost every topic, in his
sweetest tones, struck out as follows {:

unknown among them. They had cler-

a doctor nor lawyer on the island
Ardent spirits were unknown all were
equal in fortune, in prospects, and posi-
tions, and they seemed to be altogether
free from the jealousies and heart burn
lngs, and the cares and sorrows which

world. The island on which they lived
was exceedingly beautiful and productive.
and the land which they cultivated sup
piled them abundantly with potatoes and

sea around the island teemed with fish of
different kinds, which were easily caught.

Norfolk Island paradise, its people the
happiest on earth. They were certainly
peculiar people in almost every respect
and they are likely to remain so for some
time to come, for strangers, unless with
the consent of the governor, are not per-

THE OLD AND THE NEW YEAR.

The death of the Old Year has been ia
vorite theme with the poets, and very natu
rally, too. for surely nothing could be more
suggestive. But who has sang of it more
musically than Tcnnyson, in the following
verses!
Ring out wild bells to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying IN the night;
Ring out wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring happy bells across the snow;
The year is going let him GO;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that snaps the mind,
For these that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nober modes of life,
With sweefer manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless coldness of the times;
Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic SANDER and the spite
Ring in the love of truth and right.
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is 10 be.
