The Way it is Done.

Not long since a petition was
presented to the United States
Senate setting forth that in Au-
gusta county, in Virginia, the
smouldering sedition and rebellion
against the Government had famed
forth afresh, and that the presery-
alton of the lives and the property
of Union men, (so-called,) in that
region required the presence of
U. S. troops. This was news
to the people Of that region, and
Hon. A. Ell. Stuart, the member
of Congress elect from that Dis
trict, thought it his duty to inquire
into the matter, and sent to Wash
ington for copy Of the petition.
His request, however, was refused,
but after considerable effort, one
was obtained.
Mr.. STUART, in a published let
ter, says that mostof the signatures
have proved to be forgeries, and
that -
zone Of the petitioners, a baker
by trade, has had the candor to ac-
knowledge that he signed it, and
that he did so because he had

Justice Schuyler, Of Albany, N.

takes a married woman to board,
assumes the position of man about
to marry. He takes her ''for bet

come up to the standard of his ex-
pectations, he must suffer the con

dress from her husband, any more
than the husband can from the

For THE BENEFIT OF PoRK-EArERs.
Here is a lick back from the
other side for the encouragement
of pork-eaters:
DR.. Reed, of Baltimore, says
the eating of pork has nothing
whatever to do with the disease
known as trichine. "They do
not inhabit the muscles of the
hog more than that of any other
animal, or of man himself. defy
any one to prove by the record of
the last thirty-fye years that a
solitary death has been caused be-
yond doubt by the presence of
trichina. l assert that the char
ges made against these innocent
worms are without the shadow of
a foundation in fact, and would
advise the community, if they de-
sire to eat pork, to do So"

They are having dull times in
Virginia. In a Richmond paper,
we find nearly a column devoted
to houses for rent and for sale at
low figures. The Lynchburg Re-

at this time. Railroads and canals
are doing scarcely any passenger
business beyond a little local trav-
ell. On Sunday morning the Or
ange and Alexandria train came
in with one passenger going west

Anecdotes Of Stonewal1
Jackson.

The following anecdotes of
Stonewall Jackson are told by the
Rebel Gen. D. EEL. Hill:
The admiration of Jackson was
by no means confined to his own
section. The Federal prisoners
always expressed a great desire to
see him, and sometimes loudly
cheered him. This was particular
ly the case at Harper's Ferry,
where the whole line of eleven
thousand prisoners greeted him
with lusty shouts. Citizens say
that the hostile troops always spoke
of him in terms of unqualified
praise. A gentleman in the val
ley of Virginia relates that when
Fremont and Shields thought that
they had entrapped him beyond the
possibility of escape, Seigel's Dutch
soldiers passed his house singing
"Shackson in ashug' (jug)"S hack-
son in a shug;" and when they re-
turned crest fallen from Port Re
public, they answered his inquiry
as to what they had done with
Jackson, "Py tam, the shopper
come out of the shug, he gone, Ply
tam; if the Rebels don't make him
de President, Seigel's men make
him."
SYhile he was making his
Istealthy march around Pope's rear,
Istill as the breeze, but eventually
dreadful as the storm, Philadel-
Iphia paper remarked: '"The pray
ertul partisan'has not been heard
from for a week, which BODIES no
good" It sent Pope to fight the
Indians in the far, far West, away
from the pleasant haunts about
Washington.
"Where is Jackson I asked
an Irish prisoner, who was aston
ished beyond measure to find a
Rebel grasp upon his shoulder.
With the apt readiness of his peo-
pie he replied: "Faith, and that's
jist the trouble all the time, sure. F"
Per contra, another son of the
Emerald Isle, taken in Mcclellan s
retreat from Richmond, who had
been curiously examining the COM
missary stores, expressed the ut
most contempt for Jackson, as he
reeled along: "Ye're laughing
now, boys; yell be after crying
presently. Little Mae is as good a
fighter as yer Stonemon Jackson,
and be domned til him."

The War Prospect id
Europe.

Europe is again threatened with
war. Nearly 1900, 900 of men
stand armed ready for the fight.
Prussia has an army of about
100000 men. Austria has about
100000. These Kingdoms des-
poiled gallant little Denmark of
it's provinces last year, and now it
seems that the victors have fallen
out over the spoils.
France, governed by the wisest,
shrewdest and most selfish man in
Europe, remains quiet, waiting
like Micawber for something to turn
up. A general fight having begun,
Napoleon will move the French
legions in whatever direction his
ambition and covetous spirit may
dictate.
Russia as yet, remains quietly
contemplating the scene, ready at a
moments warning to sweep into
the fight.
The British Empire, with its
usual caution, will steer clear of
these warlike movements and
make money out of the troubles
! of its neighbors.
AS diplomacy has failed we may
look soon for the news that the
conflict has begun, and that Eu-
rope will again be wrapped in the
flame of wide spread civil con-
fagration. Misery and want viii
curse the unhappy peasantry of
those countries, while their rulers
will fatten and feast on the miseries
of the lower classes. We hope if
war must come, that human liber-
ty will rise from the ashes of the
struggle to bless Europe and the
world with her presence, and that
the time may speedily come when
all men everywhere will be in the
the enjoyment of the blessings of
Constitutional liberty.
