For the readers benefit we pre-.

no less a parsonage than the distin.

But whatever the Judges sins may
have been in the past there is no

Turner Ashby.

The New York World Of the 18th ult.,
contains graphic and interesting sketch
of General Ashby-the Partisan" by
~. e. c." which all will atonce recognize
as the initials of that vigorous and charm
ing writer, John Esten Cooke, Esq, Of
Virginia. His description of General
Ashby's appearance is as follows:
"What the men of Jackson saw at the
head of the Cavalry from March to June,
1862, was man rather below tho mid
die height, with an active and vigorous
frame, clad in plain Confederate gray.
His brown felt hat was decorated with a
black feather; his uniform was almost
without decorations; his cavalry boots,
dusty or splashed with mud, came to the
knee: and around his waist he wore a
sash and plain leather belt, holding pis-
tol and sabre. The face of this man OF
thirty or little more, was noticeable.
His complexion was as dark as that of an
Arab; his eyes, Of a deep rich brown,
sparkled under we'll formed brows; and
two-thirds Of his face was covered by a
huge black beard and moustache, the lat
ter curling at the ends, the former reach
ing his breast. There was thus in the
face of the cavalier something Moorish,
and brigandish; but all idea of melo-
dramatic parsonage disappeared, as you
pressed his hand, looking into his eyes,
which would dash superbly in battle, were
the softest and most friendly imaginable;
the voice, which would thrill his men as
it rang like clarion in the charge, was
the perfection of mild courtesy. He was
as simple and ''fiendly" as child, in all
his words, movements, and the carriage
of his person. You could see from his
dress, his firm tread, his open and frank
glance, that he was thorough soldier
indeed be always "looked like work.
but under the soldier, as plainly was the
gentleman. Such in his plain costume
with his simple manner andretiring mod
esty, was Ashby, whose name and fame
brave comrade has truly said, will en-
dure as long as the mountains and valleys
which he defended.
Apart from what he performed, he was
a parsonage to whom attached ane
still attaches never dying interest. Hi:

Our Fighting Editor.

OuU G1SAo01o NuAo0A'
The "John Bull" newspaper, high
weekly, edited by Theodore Hook, fre-.
,qaently INDUCED in offensive PERSONAL
ties, in remarking on the conduct and
character of public men. A military hero,
who would persist in placing himself con-
spicuously before the worlds gaze, re-
ceived copious share of what he consid-
cred malignant and libellous abuse, in the
columns of tb, said Bull" His soldiers
spirit resolved on revenge. An officer
and gentleman could not demean him
self by calling on hireling scribbler for
honorable satisfaction! No; he would
horsewhip the miscreant in his own den
the Bull should be taken by the horns!
Donning his uniform, and arming himself
with huge whip, he called at the Office
of the paper, and, scarcely concealing his
agitation, inquired for the editor He
was invited by the clerk to take seat in
the inner room; he complied, and was
kept IN waiting, while the clerk, who re-
cognized the visitor, ran up stairs and in
formed the editorial responsibilities of his
of his name and evident purport. after
an aggravating delay, which served con-
siderably to increase the ill-temper of the
officer, the door opened, and coarse,
rough-looking man, over six feet in height,
with proportionate breadth of shoulder,
and armed with bludgeon, entered the
room. Walking up to the surprised and
angry visitor, he said, in voice of thun-
der, care you the chap as wants to see
me?"
"You? No. I wish to see the editor
of the paper"
"That's me? I am the very man."
"There must be some mistake"
"Nota morsel! I'm the head-hitter of
this Bull" said the fellow, bringing the
nobbed end of his bludgeon within fearful
proclivity to the officers caput.
"You the editor? impossible"
"Do you mean to say as I'm telling a
lie 2" roared the rufian, as he again raised
his "knotty argument"
Certainly not-by no means" said
the officer, rapidly cooling down; and
dropping the horsewhip and his wrath at
the same time.
"Werry well, then! what are You want
ing WI me?"
GA mistake, my dear sir2 All a mis-
take. expected to meet another person.
I'll call some other time," and the valiant
complainant backed towards the door,
bowing politely to the Drawn before him.
"And don't let me ketch you coming
again without knowing what you want
and who you want. We're always ready
here for all sorts of customers; army or
~, civil or military-horsc, foot and
llsagoons."
The officer retired, resolved to undergo
another goring by the Bull before he
again ventured to encounter the Hercu-
lean proportions of the fighting editor.
When the clerk informed the occupants
of the editorial sanctum of the irate Colo
mel, neither Hook nor his publisher cared
to face the horsewhip. A well known
pugiHst, the landlord of a tavern in the
vicinity, was instantly sent for; a slight
preparation fitted him for the part in
which he acquitted himself with complete
success. The story rapidly circulated,
and the reputation of the editor of the
Bull prevented further rcmonstrances
from persons who fancied themselves ag-
grievcd by the liberty of the press.
