witching bride at the entrance of the ladies'
tent as firmly bound in the arms of Morpheus
as were the seven sleepers of Egypt We
frightened them both into half somnolent
condition by the war hoop of Chippewa
brave, when they both declared on their hon.
ors that they had been intent on admiring the
beauties of the Northern Lights-all night!
Yes, that's true" exclaimed Nelly-they've
both been very intent, for they hav'nt been any
where else"
The next morning the party gathered some
thing like bushel of the most beautiful agates,
which are here found in larger quantities than
at any other place in America, and of beauty
and brilliancy not to be excelled. We have all
been delighted with the excursion and all of its
incidents, but r. is the only one who saw the
Northern Lights after midnight. We start in
few hours for the French River Copper
Mines. MOCCASINS.

Exposing the Cotton.

A feminine rebel, a Memphian and Wild
ow, who shall go by the name of Mrs.
O., was recently going up the river on
one OF the Cairo packets, when she got
into an excited discussion with Col. s.
on the subject of the war. 1t took place
in the ladies' cabin, and soon brought
around them crowd of eager listeners.
She poured whole broadsides of sarcasm
into the Colonel, who received them with
his characteristic good humor. The clos
ing scene of the discussion is given by my
informant as follows:
"You may overrun the whole South"
said Mrs. G.. "you may burn our towns,
lay waste our plantations, and mann or kill
the last man; but then, sir, we will arm
our boys with squirrel rifles and shot-guns,
and put one behind every stump in the
land. What will you do then ?"
co." replied the Colonel, in that case
We will be compelled to call out and arm
enough of your negroes to surround all the
stumps."
"But when you have accomplished all
that, we, the women of the South, will
bare our breasts to the Federal bayonets. y
You dare not do that, madam ?"
"Why not, sir ?"
For the simple reason, madam, that it
is unlawful. Your Confederate Congress
has made it unlawful for you to expose
your cotton to the Federal forces.
The lady suddenly retired, while the lis
teners laughed uproariorsly.

Horrible Outrage by a NegrO..An
Aged Woman the Victim.

From the Shelango tN. Y, Un.on Sept, 6.
On Tuesday morning of this week, Sep
TENDER 5, as Mrs Jerry King, of Preston,
this county, was in the field picking ber-
ries, she was accosted by negro man,
who engaged her in conversation, and
then made improper overtures, which she
Indignantly declined. He next seized her,
brandishing large knife and threatening
to stab her to the heart, unless she would
accompany him to the woods. She scream
ed and resisted, selling the knife with her
hand, which was badly cut by the blade
being drawn through her fingers. He
then dragged her into the woods, telling
her her cries could not be heard, where he
fully accomplished his hellish purpose.
Mrs. King succeeded in reaching her
house, when she gave the information to
her friends and neighbors, who started in
pursuit of the negro. They found him in
the field near where the outrage was per-
petrated, picking berries. They at once
arrested him and took him to Mr.. Kings
house, where he was fully recognized by
Mrs. King.
The negro, whose name is John Small
wood, was then brought to this place, and
by Judge Westcott committed to the coun-
ty jail. The grand jury being in session,
Mrs. King was taken before it the same
day, and an indictment found. The negro
was shortly after arraigned in court before
Judge Balloon and associates, when the
court directed a plea of not guilty to be
entered and assigned E. 81. Prindle as
counsel for the prisoner. In the evening
he was brought into court, which by the
advice of his counsel, he pleaded guilty.
Judge Balloon then sentenced him to the
States Prison for the term of fifteen years.
remarking that if he had been brought ND
here and invested with higher degree Of
responsibility for his acts, he should SEN
tence him for life. But in consequence of
his ignorance and his former condition as
slave, he would let him off with a shorter
term of punishment. Thus, in one day.
was the crime committed and the violated
laws INDICATED by the capture and con-
domination of the guilty wretch by whom
the outrage was perpetrated. Mrs. King
is woman'sixty-fve years of AGE. i, re.
specially connected, and has ALWAYS borne
an irreproachable character. The negro
came home with the one hundred and
fourteenth regiment.

coed of all that we should be united. I feel
that this Union, though but the creation Of
century, Is to be perpetuated for all time, and
that it cannot be destroyed but by the all-wise
God who created 1t.
Gentlemen, I repeat, sincerely thank you
for the respect unaffected on this OCCASION.
and for the expressions Of Appreciation ana
confidence, you will please to accepts my
thanks.
The leader of the delegation replied: 81.
Mr., PRESIDENT: On behalf of this delega-
ton, return to you my sincere thanks for
your kind, generous, aye, magnaninnoue ex.
pressions Of kindly feeling to the people OF
the South.
The visitors then retired.

try Of regulars. He is now on visit to his
home at Mannheim, Lancaster county, Penn,
from which he has been absent twenty-five
years, this being the FIRST leave Of absence he
has received since the war began.
Miss Hannah F. Gould, the poetess, died
at her home in Newburyport recently. She
was born in the last century. The first vol
ume of her poems was published in 1882, and
she has continued to be prolific writer, both
in prose and verse, until quite recently.
"A special to the Albany Argus, dated Jack
son, Miss, September I'd, says: sit is ru-
mored here, as coming from State official cir
cles, that the late excitement concerning col
lision between the civil and military authori.
ties has called for telegraphic correspondence
with the President, and it is said communi-
cation from the President has been received,
sustaining the civil authorities. There is quite
futter among military officials. Civil stock
is going up. It was rumored extensively that
the editor of the Meas had been arrested and
his paper suppressed. Up to this time no ac-
ton has been taken"
The Huntsville (Ala.) Advocate of the 31st
ult says: "On Saturday last, as Capt. D. NJ.
Dobson, 14th Indiana Volunteer Infantry, was
passing along the street at Somerville, Ala. !,
young negro man came stealthily up behind
him and, with an axe, felled him to the ground
and then fed, leaving the axe sticking in the
head of his unsuspecting victim. The blow
foto
negro was soon caught and lodged in confine-
ment; and strong efforts were made to elicit
some reason for the atrocious act, but without
avail, except that Captain Dobson had obliged
the negro to bring him three pitchersof water
during the day, and that he would not be a
servant for "a id Yankee On Sunday
evening, soldiers, or some other persons, we
are not informed who, took the prisoner from
the possession of the guard and hung him."

On September I'd, the President received a

The POlftieal MuddIe.
The New York World gives the follow
ing news from WASHINGTON:


The New England radicals are represented
by Senators Fessenden and Morrill,, of Maine,
and Wilson, of Massachusetts. Thurlow
Weed and Gov. Fenton were with Secretary
Seward during the morning, but do not seem
disposed to go into active caucus with Wilson
& Co. The democratic platform at ALBANY,
coupled with the action Of the Minnesota re-
luton indorsing President johnson, are the
causes which trouble both the radicals and con.
sentative republicans now here. The radicals,
however, are determined to stand their ground
Senator Wilson will on the first day of the ses-
sion of Congress, introduce billfor giving the
electivefranchise to the negroes of the district,
which will bring the negro suffrage question
to an early test.
Another version of this political muddle
is given in another dispatch to New
York paper, as follows:
The leading politicians of the republican
party have gathered in this city to consider
their policy in the fall elections and in the new
Congress. The difference of opinion is wide,
and excites angry controversy. Thurlow
Weed is playing prominent part. He has
warned the radicals that they will be displaced
from power ifthey press their extreme views
upon the people. 1t Is doubtful whether the
cOna:cting elements can be harmonized. SEN.
atOr wilson, On behalf OF the New England
congressman, seems to regret all compromis-
es. Bis plan is to rely upon the party MAORI
ty in Congress. to resist the admission of the
Southern States, and virtually appeal to the
people against President Johnsons policy.
The conservative republicans propose Ito
meet the difficulty in the New York democrat
ic nominations by nominating Generals Slo-
cum and Patrick and Lueius Robinson. The
leading New York republicans have had nu-
merous interviews with Secretary Seward,
with whom the project has been discussed.
The radicals have been reinforced by General
Butler, and lively time is expected.

issue, and know the nature of the Southern
people well enough to know that when they
have become convinced of an error they frankly
acknowledge it in direct manner, and when
in the performance of duty, or indeed any act
they undertake to perform, they do it heartily
and frankly; and now that they come to me,
understand them as saying that I'VE made
the lssue-we set up the Union of the States
against the institution of slavery-we selected
the arbitrator-the God of battles The argn-
mer. was the sword the issue was fully and
honorably met. Both the questions presented
have been decided against us, and we are pre-
pared to accept the issue" find that on all
sides this spirit of candor and honor prevails :;
that the Southern people say: 1.-THE issue was
ours, and the judgment has been against us |;
and the decision having been made against us,
we feel bound in honor to abide by the arbitra.
ment. In doing this we are doing ourselves
no dishonor, and should not feel Inundated or
degraded, but remember that we are ennobling
ourselves by our action, and we should feel
that the Government has treated us magnan.
1mously, and we meet the Government upon
the terms it has so magnanimously proffered
