MIR. SEWARD AT HOME.

A correspondent at Auburn writes as
follows of the opinion entertained Of
Mr.. Seward by his nejghbors;
IF any charges against the great
Union party might be expected in this
State through tho unaccountable course
Of Mr.. Seward, they might certainly
be looked for among his neighbors and
lifelong friends at his home in old
Cayuga. But we can say with an ab-
solute assurance Of truth, that if the
changes are OF a similar character in
other portions of the1State, the great
Republican Union party will carry the
election by $4,000 majority, and then
We will comply with Mr.. seward's
wish expressed at Niagara Falls, by
counting him out. Mr.. Stewards
friends in this county lament his course
with unfeigned SORROW, and are bowed
in the deepest modification, but not q
soul Of them proposes to folio. his
lead by deserving the party he did SC
much to upbuild and the principles he
labored 80 long to inculcate. The acorn
he planted has become 4 towering tree
its wlde-spreading branches and deer
piercing roots defying all storms and ad'
verse winds.
"The work Of his life time, to which
he devoted the vigor Of his early man
hood and the mature judgement Of bill
riper days, cannvt be overcome and
annihilated by the apostacy Of old
age"

Going TO S1EEP.-The Boston
Voice relates this affecting story:
"One day last week young man who
was in Hamilton, Ohio, was run over
by locomotive, and SO badly mangled
that be died in a few hours. The poor
fellow was carried into house near the
road, and a physician was brought to
him in very short time; but it was
evident that he was beyond human
help. He conversed cheerfully with
bis acquaintances who came to see him.
an9 said h. teIt very well. Soon after
ward, turning to the physician, he
asked, Did you give me anything to
put me to osleep, doctor? The doctor
replied that he did not. Then I am
dyingv exclaimed the poor fellow with
surprising energy, and after brief di-
rectiou to have his friends in a distant
State notified of his death, he expired.

Major Hoffman, in his speech in
Union square, last week, said: "1f =
political majority in Congress can deny
one state representation IN Congress it
can exclude another whenever its rep.
resentation is not in harmony With its
own" This il the great NON seQsitsr
/ Of tho -Coppsrheads. The converse Of
the proposition, correctly stated, will be
this: if any state or number Of states
choose to withdraw from the Federal
Union, aud make war upon it, if sue
eessfal, their secession must be aeknowl-
edged; ifsubdued, they can At any
time resume their seats in Congress,

DARINa HIGHWAY RODBERY-A
.>~.- Han ROBBED OF $4,000.
From tie Lajayttte (lsd) Joawnal. q.

From tie Letsy<1s (lsd) Josnal.
Oae Of the most daring and success
ful highway robberies that We have
ever been called upon to record was
perpetrated in this city on Tuesday
night, BY which Capt. Webb, late OF
the Fortieth Indiana, was relieved Of
@28, 900 in greenbacks and Government
bonds. Capt. Webb lives near Stock
we'll, in this county, and was on his
way to Illinois to purchase land. Pre-
vious to leaving home on Tuesday
morning, he made himself a belt to wear
around his body, into which he placed
bis money. The whole amount, $685.
600, As above stated, he pct into differ
ent envelopes, 50 that it could be equal
y distributed around his body. That
sum comprised every dollar he was
worth in the world. He says be was
not aware that living soul knew that
he had the money with him. He was
in the city . portion Of the day, and
between 8 aud 10 o'clock started alone
for the Wabash Depot to take the train
West, which leaves between 10 and IL.
While passing along the walk, beside
the railroad track, about half way be-
tween Main aud Ferry streets, four
men sprang from behind some freight
cars standing on the side track. One
Of them put = handkerchief over his
mouth aud around his neck, another
grasped his arms from behind and drew
him into the shadow, while the others RI
fed his person, taking bis belt and con-
tents aud everything else OF value about
him. He had small memorandum book
with him containing the numbers of the
Government bonds in his belt, which
was also taken, so that be has no way
Of stopping their negotiation or payment
After the Williams had completed their
job they took to their heels and he saw
no more Of them. The place where
the robbery occurred, is within few
yards of several houses, with gas
light at the Main street corner and an
other at the depot about half a square
north of Ferry street. There is as yet,
~ tar as We can learn, no clue to the
perpetrators OF the robbery, though
they must have been parties who knew
he had the money and that he had it
with him and where it was secreted.
Probably they were parties who live in
Capt. Webb's own neighborhcod, and
were acquainted with his movements
and intentions.

NEW York, September PA
dreadful tragedy occurred this morning
in the l4th ward, which resulted in the
death of two Italians named Peter
Furrani aud Alexander Ureni.
Furrani was 4 maker Of plaster Of
Paris casts in the basement Of No. AS,
Elm street. Ureni ives jourueymau
noulder and is said to have been IN
excellent artist. Furrani was about
getting out . plaster bust Of Madame
Ristori which he was anxious to haye
finished Immediately in o,der to take
advantage Of the present excitement.
This morning, Ureui who was At
work on the model did not reach the
shop until 8 o'clock. This enraged
Furraui Who asked the workman what
he meant by not coming there until
that hour. Uresi curtly answered that
he would come to work when he pleas
ed.
This led to IN angry retort from the
employer aud the men were soon in
volved in = quarrel. Furrani, who wa
= large, powerful man, advanced TO-
wards Ureni, who was.much smaller,
when the latter drew 4 small double

THE SOLDIERS OF MINNESOTA.
They are ssEnlisted to the end Of the
War;"

The following are the resolutions
adopted by the meeting of tho Soldiers
and Sailors of Minnesota at St. Paul
last week, to select delegates to attend
the Pittsburg Convention:
Resolved, That the controversy still
pending between loyalty and rebellion,
between the principles Of Republicanism
and the spirit Of caste and privilege, has
only been transferred from the field of
arms to the halls Of legislation.
Resolved, That in this contest, on
whatever field conducted, with vhatev-
er weapons waged, We are enlisted to
the end Of the war, unless sooner mus
tered out, upon the side Of loyalty, lib
erty aud law.
Resolved, That maguanimity towards
even rebels who reliuquish their trea-
son, is sublime, but tho abandonment
Of the taithfal friends and defenders of
the nation, whether white or black, to
the hatred and bafled rage Of unrepen-
tant traitors, is Z meanness Of treachery
which an honorable soul abhors.
Resolued, That while We desire the
restoration Of lately rebellisus States to
the political standing i" the Union
which they voluntarily forfeited, upon
equal and just terms, We will not con-
sent to their unconditional admission,
whereby not treason but loyalty would
be made not only odious but perilous ;
not traitors but patriots would be re-
qaired to take back seats, and the re-
ward ofincreased political power would
be paid for wicked rebellion, and the
disfranohisement of whole race of 10y
al men.
Resolued, That we heartily endorse
as the basis of restoration, the amend
nents to the Constitution proposed by
Congress, who therein proved faithful
to their own record, to the party that
elected them aud the people they rep
resent, to the best interests Of the na-
ton they serve, aud the achievements
and purposes Of the army and navy that
saved it, and to the hopes of free and
liberal government everywhere.
Resolued, That we demand Of Con-
gress the correction Of their insufficient
and illogical half-measures concerning
bounty to soldiers and sailors: in the
meantime bearing this delay, As we have
borne other neglects and hindrances
efour right for our country's sake.
Resolved, That although the merired
fate Of deserters to the enemy is to be
shot, yet in the case of Andrew John
son, late Vice President of the United
States, now on trial before the people,
in consideration of former meritorious
service and the untcward Influence Of
early associations, We consent, as com.
mutation Of sentence that hs be cash.

An INCIDENT OF 1sea.

1t is frequently said that "true hos
pitality is found alone among the chiv-
airy" This was once supposed to mean
something, and has many bclievers.-
But since the var there has been grave
doubts rs to the correctness Of the state
ment. We do not propose to 60 Deep
ly into the subject, but note an instance
Of the difference between the "cold-
blooded Northerner;" and the "hospitar
bic Southern gentleman"
During tho winter Of fl86l-2 and the
following spring; the robels had about
ten thousand Union prisoners confined
in loathsome jaib or noisome dungeons.
Ragged and hungry and sick, they were
ever thinking Of homo and fiiends.-
Letters were truly like angels visits.
All at once they were cut off from re-
eeiving them by an order requiring tho
postage in al eases where letters came
to or from prisoners Of war to be paid
with coin. Thousands: Of letters were
detained At Norfolk, BY the express or;
der of the rebel Postmaster Gensral,
because they contained no silver I've
cent pieces to pay the POSTAGE.
The prisoners heard of this and re-
monstrated, but al in vain: For near
ly three months they were deprived Of
all correspondence with home; then
letters which had been kept At Norfolk
for months were forwarded, and thou
sands were delivered to ANXIOUS and
homesick prisoners. "How was it
brought about!" WAS the anxious in
qulry Of al. Tbsy were told that the
"rebel government paid the postage"
It had = profound effect. But. unfor-
tunately for the good opinion Of the
rebel leaders, Gen. Huger, the. rebel
commander at Norfolk, had the honor
to write to Gen. Wilcox, then prisoner
regrctting the delay, Of our letters, aud
stating that to the kind Offices Of Col.
LeGzand B. Cannon, Of General " oops
staff, we were indebted for them at that
time. 1t appeared that Col. Cannon,
on learning that tho prisoners letters
were detained for want Of silver enclos-
ed, the requirement Of which was not
then understood At the North, went
over to Norfolk with 4 flag Of truce,
found out that tho difficulty was the
want of few hundred dollars in silver
by the rebel Postmaster General, paid
the money out Of his own pocket, aud
gladdened the hearts of the. prisoners
with news from home.
What makes the contrast still more
marked, it is the fact that while the
rebel officers knew it was Northern
man who had, out Of his own private
purse, paid the demand of the rebel
government, they were willing to &C.
cept from the prisoners their gratitude
for what they had never done, and to
rob them further on the strength Of it.
With the natural modesty Of the true
gentleman, the Northern man never
mentioned the matter, 80 that to this
day few Of our officers and men know
to whose efforts and kindness they owe
the change in the rebel mail arrauge-
ments. And this Is probably the first
time the fact vas ever made public.
