Gov. ANDREW AS A WAC AND PAT
RIor.-We find the following in the Bos-
ton Transcript:
Military necessity prevented two
young lovers from joining hands in mar
riage. The young man was four times
prevented from getting his leave Of alb
sence. The War Department did not
find il consistent with its duty to per-
nit the lady and her brother to go to
the far distant front to have the right
duly solemnized, so that the wife could
share the lot of her husband.
At last an appeal was made to His
Excellency, the Governor of this Com
monwealth, and with the success that
attends such an appeal when official OBJ
legation allows the indulgence of his
kindly sensibilities and gentle sympa-
ties. The letter of his fair correspond
ent moved the Executive and the man,
and he at once forwarded it to Wash
ington, with the following endorsement,
which succeeded in smoothing the course
of true love, and melting Mars to ten
derness. This is not the first or only
instance in which the Governor has
brought about other unions, amidst his
endeavors to preserve the Union of the
States
To HoE. Ed,0m N, Stanton, Secretary Of
Wdr:
This case appeals to all our sympa-
thies as patriots and as gentlemen, and
/ appeal TO the chivalry of the Depart
ment of War, which presides over more
heroes than Homer ever dreamed of, and
better and drawer than his muse ever
sung-I pray you to grant this request
of my fair correspondent, aud genera
tons will rise up and call US blessed.

Miscellaneous sEems.

NARROW EsCAPE.- Two little boys,
three or four years old, one g. son Of G.
B. Mann and the other of T. D. Manley,
were run over yesterday afternoon near
the Central House, by horse driven by
a soldier whose name we did not learn.
The horse was going rapidly and went
straight over the children, but strange
to say, did not happen to strike either
with his feet in such manner as to do
any serious injury, while the wheels Of
the wagon passed on either side Of them.
The little fellows were somewhat bruis-
ed but not otherwise damaged.

NEGRO SUFFRAGE IN South CAROLINA
The South Carolina correspondent Of
the New York Herald, writing from Co
lumbia, says that the mere mention of
negroes voting raises q breeze in any
Southern circle. But in time the people
may come to tolerate the idea, especially
if suffrage is connected with certain con-
ditions of intelligence and property. He
adds:
"As far as South CaIolina is concerned
| think it would be perfectly safe to
place it upon the ground of being able
to read and write, at the same time re-
stricting the whites to the same test; for
in the first year there will be more ne
groes who possess that accomplishment
In the State than white people. The ne.
groes certainly are very DESTROYS Of en-.
lightenment, and the first use Of their
freedom, as far as my experience goes, Is
to learn to read. Their opportunities as
yet are very limited, as the citizens dc
all in their power to discourage it; but
it is freque tly the case that I see ne
groes, who by some means have learned
to read seated by the roadside teaching
their less enlightened brethren and sis
tiers the alphabet"

FoRT STERLING, May %, 1865.
when JEFF Davis was returning home
| from Buena Vista, Mexico, 10 the States,
with his regiment, he called on General
Wool, who was then In command OF
that department. and asked for teams TO
draw the mems kuapsacks. The General
informed him that the transportation
was all engaged In removing the ord
nance from the country; therefore II
was impossible to accommodate him.
Jen. insisted until he had introduced
the subject the third time, WhereupOn
the old regular told him he would hear
no more about the matter JEFF, took
his leave suddenly, telling the General
to go 10 hell The General told him If
he would repeat the words he would
put him under arrest. JEFF. repeated the
words and took to his heels down the
street, pushed by the writer Of this ar
ticle who was on guard at the door dur
ing the conversation and WIS ordered
by the General TO arrest him. JEFF. saw
he was coming out second best in the
race, and made a flank movement
through a Mexican house into the back
yard, which was inclosed by a high wall
that could not be scaled, where the
guard kept him until the officer of the
guard and four men came. The officer
of the guard informed the Colonel that
he was his prisoner, and that he had or
ders to take him to Gen. Woods head
quarters. The Colonel said he would go
The officer replied If the Colonel said he
| would 20, that was enough but Judge
of his disappointment when he saw the
perfdious JEFF. taking TO his heels again
down the street. This time he was
pursued by a stalwart KentuCkiau,
who was nearest him when he took
his fight. He soon came up within
reach of the Colonel and dealt him blow
with the butt Of his gun over the head
that Frustrated him. JEFF, rolled over on
his back, and made some Chivalric thrusts
| with his sabre which were successfully
parted by the Kentuckian, who was in
the act of wrenChiug the sword from his
| hand, when the rest of the party came
up and overpOwered the Colonel and
marched him back to headquarters,
where he was put under guard until he
| repented his rashness and apOlOgiZed to
the general, who released him to pursue
his march, wiser, if not a better man.

A contemporary writing agriCul-
turally, says that 'no amount Of tillage
can make amends for the lack Of liberal

paragraph
"The New York News and World, II
published South of the Potomac, would
most assuredly be suppressed by mill
tary If not civil authority, Not an Is
sue of either of these papers appears on
our exchange table that Is not tilled
with reasonable utterances and peevish
puerile fault-hndings with the present
condition Of affairs. On their knees
and crawling in filthy, sycophantish
slime they bespatter the South, and the
leaders In the late rebellion particularly,
in manner that, beyond all doubt,
would influence the feelings Of the peo-
pie OF the North against us, were 1t not
for the fact that the sycophancy is so
plain that no one needs their mutter-

FORGERY.-On the 3lst of May last, a
woman called at Mr. Ephraim Jewett's
store, and after selecting a piece of wa
ter proof amounting to 1915, handed to
the clerk what purported to be an order
for the same from Mrs. John Paddock
The order was received. 1t appears the
woman then went to Mr.. Lonergan's
store, and after selecting a pair of boots,
presented in payment an order from Mrs.
Horace Paddock. Mr.. Lonergan took
the order and gave up the boots. Some
time afterwards 1t was ascertained that
both these orders were forged, but the
guilty party was not known to either
merchant or shoe-dealer. One day last
week, however, Mr.. Jewetts clerk saw
his old customer in the street. She was
followed at once and arrested. At an
examination before Justice Hubbard
Hastings, ESQ, she was bound up to the
county court in the sum Of $500, in de-
fault OF which she went to Jail. The

His mother, in Connecticut, hearing of

She waited, YEARLY waited, day by
