A Thrilling Incident.

A youthful navigator named LOup Pow
ell, aged about ten years was the hero yes
terday of a thrilling incident witnessed by
hundreds of persons from the st. Clair
street bridge The little fellow had been
floating about the Allegheny shase of the
river on a narrow plank which had been
dieengaged from raft a short distance
above. The precocious boy soon tired of
the knee deep water, and propeling his
rude craft farther away from the shore he
found himself in the rapid current of the
river. He struggled manfnfly to regain
the shore, but all to no avail, the plank
floated onward and outward till he was in
the middle of the river with nothing bat
the treacherous rolling plank between
himself and q watery grave. He cried out
loudly for aid and attracted the attention
of couple of ladies upon the bridge, who
realizing at once the lads perilous posi-
ton, called Captain Reed. who was pass
ing over the bridge at the time, and made
him aware ofthe little navigator's danger.
In the meanwhile the nearly distracted
boy had dropped his paddle into the river,
and endeavoring to regain it he fell off the
plank into the water. He clutched the
plank and held with his tiny hands to its
rough edges to buoy him up, while Cap
tain Reed and others loudly shouted to
man named Christian Bradford, who was
in a skiff. nearly a quarter of a mile from
the place to come to the lads rescue
The bridge was crowded with spectators.
Every breath was held, and every heart
throbed quicker awaiting the seemingly
slow approach of the skiffto rescue the boy
whose strength was fast falling and whose
feeble cries for succor were scarcely audi
BILE. The skiff was an hundred yards from
the lad when the current swept wildly
against the plank and the tiny adventure r
was left alone in the deep water. He sunk
arose. sunk again and arose and ere the
skiff arrived, had gone down the third time
| to rise no more. There was a murmur of
pity and sorrow ameng all who had been
upon the bridge watching the, boy as he
went down apparently to a watery grave.
Mr.. Bradford was but a moment to late
With one bound he sprang from the boat
and in the deep water was lost to the
throng on the bridge for nearly thirty
seconds when he re-appeared bearing in
his arms the lifeless form of the little hero.
Placing the body in skif he Immediate
Iy took steps to revive him ,and within few
minutes delivered the boy into the arms of
an anxious crowd in waiting on the Allie
gheny shore alive and but little the worse
ofhis miraculous escape from death. That
boy owes his life to Mr.. Bradford whose
noble conduct in rescuing at the peril OF
his own life that of fellow creature, ex-
cited the admiration of all who witnessed
the thrilling incidentI[ Pittsburgh Ga

Gen. G.. Parkhurst, of fMichigan.whose
name appeared among the Philadelphia
delegates and also as one of the Secre-
taries of the Convention, has just given to
the public letter disclaiming any inter

honor, and would further say that have
the absolute, unqualified and unconditional
control of one vote, and propose at the
coming election, and at all times, to so
manage it as not to cast it for rebel, nor
for rebel sympathizer, nor for any man
who, during the war, magnified our de-
feats and disparaged our success. AS to
Vallandigham who the Democracy now
admit was rebel during the war, I can
see no difference between him and the De-
mocratic party, who, at the time he was
giving aid and comfort to the enemy,
claimed him as their companion and their
representative man, and when they well
knew of his traitorous acts nominated
him and voted for him, for the highest Of

If he was traitor, then that party who
recognized him as more nearly represent

Ohio. and who claimed that he was per-
secuted saint and a martyr was equally
traitorous. | wish to declaim belonging @

bushwackers that has SO infested our coun-

bolical work can be seen in the 100000

where loyal valor sleeps; that party that

A Few SLIGHT Errors.

4 story is going the rounds of the South
ern papers and the Democratic papers
North, that ''Yankee school marm" in
Mobile, named Miss Sarah Jones, had mar
ried wealthy negro named Samuel Jack
son. The Mobile Register and Advertiser
makes few slight corrections in the story.
1t says;
We do not wish TO be too particular
about small matters, but there are few
mistakes in the above that ought to be cor
rected: as, for example:
The name of the yankee school marm''
is not Jones.
The name of the wealthy negro" is not
Samuel Jackson.
The negro is not wealthy.
The bridegroom is not negro.
The bride is not white woman.
The Yankee woman is not a ''school
marm.'
The Yankee woman is not married.
The school marin is not married.
The negro is not married.
And finally there has been no marriage
in Mobile, of either Samuel Jackson or
Sarah Jones. Or of Yankee school marin,
or Of any negro at all to any white woman
at all.
We are sorry to spoil good story, but
must tell the truth. -ssl4.

GIVE HIM A CHANCE.-The Shasta
Courier edited by loyal Irish Amer
lean, is not afraid Of being outstripped
by the negroes. He says
eff God has given the power to the
negro to become the equal of or supe-
rior to, the white man, just so sure that
superiority will be recognized by all !,
and in our opinion, he has not far to
go to become the equal of those who
are so tender footed in refusing equal
chances to all in the race. The negro
has been Handicapped long enough.
Give him an equal chance, weight for
age and a fair field. We arn't afraid. y

Logan and Chalmers.

Gen. Chalmers, of the late rebel army, a
participant of the Lort Pillow Massacre, is
making speeches in favor of Andrew
johnson. 1t seems it was no idle assertion
of these rebels who visited the President,
that Andrew johnson loved southern
rebel better than a southern Unionist. In
recent speech, General Logan in speak
ing of these men used this fitting Ian
guage:
"'They could make truth squirm beneath
| their feet as they kissed the Bible and
swore by the everything God that they
would sustain the Government against all
its enemies and oppressors: These are the
men who filled the land from one end to

to groan under the distress and burthens

THE THREE CALLERS.

Morn cacth to a fair boy straying
Mid golden meadows, rich with clover dew;
She casbut he still thinks Of naught save playing
And so she smiles-and waves him an adue!
Whilst he, still merry with his fowery store,
Deems not that morn, sweet Morn! returns no more.
Noon cemeth-but the boy to manhood growing,
Heeds not the time--he sees but one sweet form,
One young fair face from bower of Jasmine glowing
And all his loving heart with bliss is warm.
So noen unnoticed, seeks the western shore,
And man forgets that noon retllrnc
Night tappeth gently at a easement cleaning
With the thin fire light, Pickering faint and low;
BY which gray-haired man is sadly dreaming
Der pleasures gone as all life's pleasures got
Night calls him to her, and he leaves the door,
Silent and desolate, and returns no more.

eX A correspondent of the N. Y. Tri-
bune relates couple ofamusing anecdotes
connected with Gen. Sherman's jour ney
east, as follows: ~ -zstssiz
One elderly man, with almost crazy ca
gerness, sought the Generals hand yester-
day, which when grasped he gave a half
doubling, half-piereing gaze into the small
flashing orbs of the hero, when he exclaim-
ed: ''Why, this amt the great General
Sherman is it? Zounds You look just like
one of us. alters thought you was aniold
cuss!" The long, lank sides of the Gener-
al have not been more immoderately stir
red for many day, and he continued to
repeat the incident during the day with
great delight.
At Worcester, number of lads hung
like squirrels to the sides and windows of
his car, joining the call of SHERMAN -
''Sherman" The civilian-dressed General,
rising, pointed the boys to military gen.
tleman in the car, dressed in Uniform
Whereupon bright eyed urchin respond
ed, Cant come that, General. Can't fool
us up here. We take the papers. We
know your and convulsed with laughter,
the General was coerced to the platform.

ssSmelling the Battle Afar OFF,

tAI1I Ol.
1t will be recollectedthat General Chal-
mers, in his speech on Court Square, Mem
phis, a couple of weeks since, said:
Like the gladiator for the arena, let us
be ready with the sword drawn and the
scabbard thrown aside; let us prepare for
the struggle. Soon I expect to hear
the struggling shots of the skirmishers
breaking into the roar of musketry; and,
finally, the deafening boom of the cannon.
Then, where shall Tennessee be ?"
In answer to this important question,
the Cincinnati Commercial says:
''We have the private opinion that Ten
nessee will be just where she is now-in
the Union; and that if any of her people
go into second rebellion, and draw the
sword and shoulder the musket, because the
are promised aid at the North, as General
Chalmers intimates, they will be deceived
in the hour of trial and whipped in the
hour of battle, and the second coming of
the shordes of the North will be worse
than the first"

~ Johnson's tspo1icyo does

~ Johnson's policy does not
contemplate the appointment of Cop
perheads to office where he can find Re-
publicans willing to accept appoint
ments and endorse his measures. He
knows that his support of rebels secures
him Copperhead support, and wherev-
er he can ring in Republican it is so
much gained to his strength. Much to
the credit of the Republicans, few are
willing to ''do him reverence" and ac-
cept of his bread and butter.
