AN INCIDENT AT CHATTANOoGA.-St
ping to my door one evening to take
view of the varied life of Market street,
I saw a refreshing spectacle. Coming
down the center of that broad thorough
fare with musket at right shoulder shit
and head slightly bent forward, with
the step and air of veteran, was a
negro boy of about twenty, wearing the
army blue. Following behind, crowd
ing close up around, and in line run
ming far behind him, was about two
hundred officers and privates of the So
called Confederate States army. On
passed the colored sergeant-such was
his rank-and onward crowded and fol-
lowed the late Southern warriors. Not
another guard about them, not another
menaclng bayonet in sight. The CLEAN
of the negros bayonet told them of ra-
lions and quarters ahead and of danger
behind. l saw him pass on with his
charge, never looking behind him, yet
losing none, until he handed them over
to the authorities at the military prison,
from which they were next day paroied.

ENGLAND.-The revelations of English
life, which are made from time to time
in Parliament and through the press are
astounding, and almost beyond belief.
While Exeter Hall has it's eyes fixed on
Africa, India, America, anywhere but
where charity is said to have its proper
beginning, there are scenes of English
life enacting year after year which would
shock the Fejees and shame the Hotten-
tots. The latest atrocity to which our
attention has been invited is the prac-
tice in several English counties of
working children of both sexes in gangs
in the fields and brick yards. These
children, from seven years old to twenty,
are hired of their parents by the gang
ers or drivers, and then let out in squads
or worked on jobs by their task mast
ers. They live together, the older cor
rupting the younger, without education
or care, like tribes Of sayages. Virtue,
religion, decency are unknown. Mar
riages are unknown, and infanticide
seems to be rather the rule than the ex-
ception, while promiscuity is encour-
aged to prevent its necessity. 1t would
be hard to find in the world system OF
slavery combining SO many horrors as
exist in the system of agricultural Ia
Dor in this free, prosperous, merry Eng
] land.

g Bishop Clark has recently organ
lied Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in East Tennessee, in
to which were admitted no less than
forty-three ministers from the Southern
Methodist church. The uew Conference
starts with membership of 6494, and
has preachers stationed in Tennessee,
North Carolina and Georgia. Ali the
ministers accented in the most explicit
terms the rigid anti-slavery rule Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. Among
the most earnest and violent advocates
of secession at the South were the cler-
gy, and they had great influence in ex-
citing the minds of the people against
the North, and filling them with intense
and bitter hatred, The people will now
lear another gospel than that to which
they have heretofore listened-the Cos
pei of love and good will toward all
men-and unGer it's influence they will
be made better men and more worthy
citizens.

talent, intelligence, tlrmness, and, above
all, ambition.

DrREcroRs' CAR.--In reference TO the
monumental celebration in Lowell on
Wednesday last, the correspondent OF
the Boston Journal says:
{" A special train, courteously furnish
ed by the efficient superintendent Of the
Boston, Lowell and Nashua Railroads,
John B. Winslow, for the use of the
Legislature and the escort of the Gov
ernOr, left Boston for Lowell about nine
o'clock this morning. The car for the
use of the Governor was a marvel of ell
egance. 1t is what is called a double
deck car, built as a Directors car by
the Vermont Central Railroad Company,
and its only trip has been to Boston
FROM tie car shop in st. Adams, prepar-
atory to taking the officers of the road
on an excursion to Mount Mansfield, Vt.
and Montreal. The car Is beautifully
painted and ornamented with pictures
Of vermont scenery, denots. &c. With
in it is finished in superb style with
black walnut, black ash and chestnut
and it is furnished in very fine taste. 1t
contains no less than seven different
compartments, comprising sitting
room, bedrooms, clothes presses, clos
cts, Iavatories, mirrors &c. 1t is said
to be the finest railroad car now in the
country"
The St. Adams Messenger says; at
should be stated that the beautiful car
alluded to was rendered to Gov Andrew
by Gov. Smith, who was detained in
Boston by illness. The car was built at
the machine shop in St. Adams, and is,
as the Journal says, the finest railroad
car in the country"

I have noticed a few words in your pa

Union complains of Woodchucks being
very plenty in that town, and wants the
State to pay bounty of ten cents for
each of these animals that is caught
thereabouts. If that town wants
bounty on them, let the town pay it
and not call on the State to help them.
If the farmers want them caught, let
them do as they do in our town, viz;
get man or boy to catch them and
then pay them. Before there was a tax
