was TO be divided, and its members ''set

''Tha dog IL was that diedr'
The Republicans went quietly to work,
held their Convention, announced their
platform and ticket, and united to put
them through successfully as they have
bsen1in the habit of doing for years past
There seems to be no detection IN their
ranks and no lack of confidence in their
success. On the other hand, the State
Rights wing Of the Democracy-the wing
that WAS sold ont but refuses to be trans
ferred--have held q m Getting in New York
City, at which over thirty election dis
triets we're represented. Resolutions
were adopted denouncing all Presiden-
tial prociamations as usurpations on the
rights Of States, and consequently as of
no force, and reproba,ing the policy of
the other part Of the Democracy. The
question of nominating another State

"Pohi there won't be any shooting"

| The uproar had brought the whole household
to the spot, Mr.. Leigh among the rest. In
minute Mrs. Leigh came running in.
"Auguste and Lettice are missing" she cried.
| "The devilr This was Mr. Byers
"Lettice?" exclaimed Warwick.
"Come on then, all of your shouted ono.
"Stop-don't make nosep' said Mr.. Byers.
"You must come upon them unawares, ort they'll
take to the boats. And you want lanterns
A little delay ensued.
"Now then, we're ready. Where's Warwick o. ]
"Gone."
"Gone? What did he start off so for?"
60 hope they won't catch them p said Mrs.
Leigh.
| "Nonsense, Maria! Don't be FOOL said Mr..
Leigh, adding :" Don't fire, gentlemen, if you can
| help it. That boy is worth thousand dollars
| "And don't aim at the girl, anyway. You
| might damage her five hundred dollars worth.
Never offered me drop of anything" muttered
Mr.. Ryers, discontentedly, as he plodded along
after the party.
Warwick crept stealthiy along. He could
master that fellow, Auguste, if he came up with
him. He would teach him to away with
Lettce. This where it hurt Warwick.
Auguste was just putting Lettice into the boat.
"Now, then, goodbye, Uncle Joe'
At that instant light flashed upon them;
loud report crashed through the air. and Au-
guste's right arm dropped to his side.
"Good Heaven! we are discovered. In with
you, Uncle Joe. You can't go back now"
Joe scrambled into the boat and Auguste was
on the point of stepping in, when Warwick
rushed upon him.
Not so fast. Give up, Augusta, or I'll shoot
you - and Warwick aimed his revolver. 1t was
struck from his hand, and the young man found
himself lying on the ground, held there by Au-
guste's one strong arm.
"I have pistols to shoot YOu. Say you won't
hinder u.s.
Never! Do your worst, Run away with
"What would you havea Your father has
sold her to the trader" said Auguste.
Its false !" shouted Warwick.
81 swear it's true Hadn't you rather I'd
have her? o, Master Warwick think of the old
times p
Warwick struggled Intellectually few min
well, Auguste, let me up. Isuppose you
could shoot me if you liked. Be off, for all mel'
Auguste sprang into the boat, just as the rest
of the party came in sight.
"Confound 'em! What do you let 'em go for?'
said Mr.. Byers to Warwick.
"Pm under no obligation to hunt your prop
erty," answered Warwick sulkily
Half dozen shots sent after the boat.
'Ain't there anybody here that can row.
Not against that fellow. You'd best recon
cile yourself to your loss Mr. Byers We could
not see them, either. It's growing dark, and Is
going to rain."
Great was Mr. Byers's WRATH but in vain.
Let me take one oar, Auguste. can row
with you better than Uncle Joe-you taught me,
you know" said Lettuce -
They made twenty miles in darkness and rain
at day break.
"Well, wish my ole woman was here" said
Uncle Joe. aspect I'll hab to go arter her
one OBJ desc days. come sooner'n meant to,
captain; but p'r'aps kin pick up some sinners
round here.''
The next day there was wedding at head,
quarters of the chaplain of the post, and
Auguste related how he had celebrated his birth
day.
The Soldiers' journal. (Rendezvous of Distribution, Va.) 1864-1865, 1865-01-04
They went down to the pine trees.

Dat you, honey? Use pretty well-'spects to
lib long enough to get out o. dis wilderness.
You tell 'em down river, chile, dat Uncle Joe is
a-coming. He's only a-waitin' for the leadin' of
the Lord, and few more sinners, fore he comes.
And he's goin to bring lot wild him, too. De
Lord has opened de way and he's sayn to de
niggers, Walk We in it, An I'm goin to bey
Dere amt much left oh dis ole Teller, but what
dere is, he's goin to own hisself OATS sop
Hush Uncle Joe-dont talk so loud! What
was that ?"
They all listened eagerly.
g didn't hear anything said Auguste.
g did, insisted Lettice. 8" It was tramping
like
Auguste listened again, intently.
1T must have been noise at the house or the
quarters, said Auguste.
81 wish we could co., exclaimed Lettice, fear
fully. " 1 don't like waiting
In few Manifestation twenty-it will
be quite safe;'' Auguste tenderly encouraged
her.
It happened that Mr.. Byers had business at a
plantation mile or two further up the river. 1t
also happened that, having met with congenial
spirit, he had prolonged his stay till quite late
till nearly midnight, in fact, and was now MAX
ing the best of his way to his lodgings in the town
below, in slightly intoxicated state.
"Ths is COMPOUNDED dark night, anyhow"
he muttered, as his horse picked his way care
fully along; "and seems to me the moon is
dreadful slow in rising. Itdont look any further
up than it did when I started, if it does as far.
There's the river now, and it's going the wrong
way, by lingo! Let's see-I've been up the
river, and now I'm going up. No, I've been
down, and now I'm going up. No! Well, hang
it-Im either going up or down! IF should
meet any Yankees now, or, what's worse, any
guerillas, - 'em, they'd have nice haul
There's over two thousand dollars in my wallet.
Halo! what's that? hear 'em talking now.
I'll fight No, won't-I'll give up my money.
" Hallo-ain't that man? Whoa?'
He stopped his horse just in the edge of a
thicket, which ran along the roadside. Beyond
this narrow belt of underground the height sloped
abruptly and quickly to the river.
'sWhats this? Why, if this amt Leigh's place,
and that's Halo! I wonder what's in the
wind now?' Instinct, long practice, shar-
pened his torpid senses. The transition to Mr..
Byers sober, was made in an instant. He peered
carefully through an opening in the thicket, then
softly dismounted Here's mischief brewing.
No guerillas, but niggers going to run away
What if it should be that of mine? I've had
more'n one such trick played on me Now,
what's to be done? If go up to the house by
the road, they'll see as quick as get into the
open road, and cut. must go back
By circuitous path he soon reached the
house.
Halo! they're up yet. O, remember!-
young mans birthday. Perhaps can get some
thing to drink. Riding in the night makes
person terribly thirsty
His powerful rap brought some of Warwick's
friends to the door. Everybody spoke at once.
"Niggers running away? Halo, Wsrwick-
here's fun! Going to try the river? That's
capital Come on, all of you p
"Stop! see to your pistols
