A Negro whips a Radical

We have received the particulars Of a
very interesting instance which occurred
in this county few days since, in which
a gentleman of African descent proved,
and strikingly illustrated to Radical,
that if he was not as good as the gem
erality of white men, he was, at least, an
infinitely better man, in one sense Of the
word, thap some Radicals. Our hero is
one of the newly imported cotton plant
ers from the North, and, we believe, is
about the only man in the country who
rejoices in being classed as a Radical.
On the occasion to which We refer, Rad
ical had found fault With one of his freed
men, and finally began. abusing him,
which the freedman, to his surprise, re
turned with interest.
There the matter, at first, seemed
likely to end; but recollectiug that it
was regarded as disgrace to tamely
submit to insult, especially from a negro,
he came to the conclusion that he must
whip the freedman The colored gen
tleman, on the other hand, considered
it unbecoming the dignity Of a Southern
negro to allow himself to be fooled
wild by Yankee, and consequently
when our Rad endeavored to execute his
threat, turned the tables, and pummeled
him soundly. y.-CdRtoR Miss Mail

The Henry Clay Statue.

The Richmond Times of late date
says: We have already taken occasion
to notice the gross neglect in not prop
erly caring for the beautiful marble
statue Of Henry Clay, which stands upon
the southwestern slope of the Capitol
Square. About ten years ago this mon
ument of affection to one Of Virginia s
most patriotic and eloquent sons was
placed in its present position, and com
manded the admiration of all who visited
the romantic grounds, of which it formed
one of the most prominent attractions.
Since then it has scarcely been touched
with any other hand save that of the van
dal, till now the dust and mould on it
renders it difficult to recognize the .ea-
lures, and both. hands are but little better
than fngeress stumps The right hand
is entirely shapeless and not a finger re
mains, while the left has been severed
from the middle Singer below the thumb.
Each day this statue is suffering from
neglect, and unless something is done TO
protect it from further vandalism it will
be marred beyond recovery. The neg
lect is objectionable. Surely something
should be done for the preservation OF
the Commonwealth property = esp.
cialy such revered relics as the beautiful
monuments to her ancient statesmen and
patriotic heroes.

Fast Railroads Important Testimony.

The following is portion OF the testl'
mony in lawsuit now pending in an
Ohio court 1t presents some significant
facts
Henry c. Lord examined-I am the
President and General Superintendent
of the indianapolis & Cincinnati rail-
road, and have been such for ten years.
/ have, also, charge, as President of the
Whitewater Valley railroad, running to
Brookville.
o. Has the railroad with which you
are connected any arrangements with
fast freight lines, corporations or persons
for the carriage of merchandise
A. There is no contract or arrange
ment between the Indianapolis q Gin
cinnati Railroad company and any fast
freight line-of course do not refer to
express companies.
In reference to the amount of time
which an engineer should be employed l
sheuld say that | don't think an engi-
neer should run with passenger train
over one hundred and thirty miles per
day, or with freight train, over from
one hundred and Gen to one hundred and
fifteen miles per day An engineer while
running his engine, must have his mind
wholly absorbed in his business the
strain upon him is constant and great.
| consider the labor very exhausting; it
is, of course coupled all the time with
special anxiety | should say that an
engineer cannot run locomotive be-
yond limited number of yesrs-from
ten TO twelve probably-without breaking
down. II has been my practice to give
them other employment after that length
of time.
@. Do you know of any case in which,
in your opinion, accidents have ensued
from over working engineers Z
A. / know of accidents which have
been attributed TO negligence, or viola
tons of orders, by engineers, when be
lieve they should have been attributed to
their exhausted condition. Engineers
are generally paid according TO the length
of their runs, and being anxious to make
more money, they will sometimes over
work themselves, in order 20 make, say
six instead Of three dollars

pbotopraph of President johnson.

In stature President Johnson is square
built, broad-chested, not over tall, com
pact, manly; in dress, decently clad in
sober and somewhat worn black coat,
his body seems merely suitable pedas-
tai for mounting his massive head. A
broad brain, hair originally black, but
now evenly sprinkled over with "a thin
intermixture Of white, making what is
called an iron-gray; complexion, dark,
and face of grave aspect which strikes
the behalder at once-making the whole
figure an appendage to ii-4s that face
on which public responsibilities have
deeply engraven their lines With tie
sober strength of his care-weighed face
there is combined certain hardness Of
expression, as if he was deficient in the
softer human sympaihies But this is
perceptibly relieved as soon as hespeaks,
his voice having quietness and ease not
expected from the square-bullt, hard-vls-
aged, cold.eyed statesman. But still the
predominant impression is that he is a
resolutely honest, resolutely ambitious,
strong fbred soul, 10 whom nothing is so
congenial as the cares of state. He
greatly resembles Senator Douglas

A Good One.

While Gen.. Viele was the military
governor of Norfolk, Mr. Lincoln issued
his famous proclamation which protected
slavery in those portions of the South
which had been reduced under the Fed.
eral rule, but proclaimed freedom to all
the slaves within the lines of the So
called"
A gentleman of Norfolk county, Mr..
-, well known as possessing a head
Of the longest kind, thinking that the
affairs of the South were getting from
bad to worse, and that the only chance
of obtaining anything for his slaves was
to send them over the border, managed,
by the assistance of certain parties, to
transport them into Confederacy.
The fact came to Gen. Viele's ears,
and he Immediately had Mr.. - sum
moned to headquarters.
Our Norfolk county friend appeared
in the awful presence of the General
with that modest assurance of which he
knows so well how to assume on the
proper occasions. He looked the Cen
eral straight in the eye and said " Sir,
| am Mr.. -" The General sternly
replied: "Sir, l am informed that you
have sentyour slaves into the rebel lines.
Is it true?" Our friend from Deep
Creek rejoined: Yes, sir, and have a
reason for so doing-a most philan-
thropic one, as you will admit You
see before you, sir, Virginian
who has been always opposed to
slavery, / have thought it wrong to keep
my negroes in seryitude in Norfolk
county, in which condition they are
compelled to be by Mr.. Lincoln's procia-
nation, when by the same document |
have but to send them across the lines
to secure them the blessings of freedom.
l glory in having done so, sir, and, since
the benevolence ofmy intentions is so
evident, / am sure that | shall not be
punished.
Gen. Viele felt that he had been sold,
and replied:
''Sir, that will do; you may go.
A few days afterwards Gen. Viele went
up to see Mr. Lincoln, and narrated the
above occurrence to him. "Old Abe"
jumped up, clapped his hands, and ex-
claimed "Well, that's a good one

much for me Bully for"
During the conversation with the
General he often referred to it, and
whenever he did so, he declared that our

A Portrait OF Shakespeare.

A portrait, SAID to be that OF Shakespeare, by
a contemporary painter, is now in the posses
sion of DR.. Charles Clay, of Manchester, Eng
land. 1t is described BY an English journal as
follows =
''The style of painting and richness of color
and finish are equal TO and nor unlike the best
OF Sir Peter Lely's though evidently OF an earlier
date. In 1t the ConnOlsseur will Enthusiastically
.fecognize the hand OF great master. All who
have seen it acknowledge 1t as being the most
pleasing OF all the portraits OF Shakespeare
eXtapt, and what Is OF stlll greater Importance in
20 interesting subject, ii exhibits more COM
pletely that intellectual capaciy IN which the
other likenesses, whether IA OIL, engravug or
sculpture, are so painfully deficient The general
outline Is similar to the Cnandos portrait
COW in the National Portrait Gallery, but
in execution far surpasses iU. We may remark
that the sugarloaT form of the Uranium,
so generally to be observed III the busts and
portraits OF Shakespeare, is avoided In DR.. Clays
portrait. No anatomist or physloOglst could
with prOprieiy admit the generally received
formation of Shakespeare head, ior the height
OF the forehead requires I lateral eXpanse to
II, in order to accommodate that full power ana
b. eadth OF intellect specially characteristic OF
the poet. Dr. Clays portrait gives breadth pro
portionate to the altitude. The tace is thought'
iul, and slightly touched with melancholy the
eyes being remarkably expressive and pleasing.
Many critics have obiected to the ChandOs por-
hait on account OF Its ioreigu cast OF features;
here We nave the type OF true EuglshlnaD OF
the true EllZatethan period; there Gre no ear
rings, as in Chandos, the clothing being supple
anu unadorned; the collar IS without strings,
less in size, and where il meets in front sho ys
portion of the throat below the beard the collar
itself is not so stih as in other portraits.
"lf we might venture an opinion from the
lu2uriance OF The Aair, which Is OF arch brown,
tinted with auburn, this picture must nave been
painted at an eacier peHod OF hte thnn the
