him on the sofa On the cabin table was

his hand shook so that 4 good part OF 1t

up in the forecastle, in spite of the heat.

ont of their senses Well, sir. that night
the steward got so frightened by what he
had seen, and by the horrible wells Of the
skipper, that he went forward amongst the
men, taking small keg of rum with him.
and the hands were soon all drunk, and
fighting among each other like devils
The mate and myself took it in turns to
mind the skipper; and about daylight |
was wahened from n short snoozc bv a
sudden quiet coming over the ship, aud
there was the captain quite dead, his
chm fallen and his eyes wide open. The
same afternoon, the two men who had
been i'll of coast fever died, and there
We're three others in their bcrths rayins.
Twice that day we saw the great snake
once about mile from us, and the next
time some six miles out to seaward. and
the next day he rose about two hundred
yards from our starboard beam, aud mo~
we'd his head about as he had done at
first
Eight times in all we saw him, sir,
and once the steward, who was wild with
drink, got the captains gun out and would
have fired Ut him, bat the mate took it out
Of his hands On the seventh day from
the time we came to anchor, the weather
suddenly changed, and heavy tornado
came on, and blew US right out TO sea-
We lost most of our spars, being 50 short
handed, and as soon as the gale mOdera-
ted, we hove overheard the captain and
four Of the hands, who had died in the
bay, but whom we had been afraid TO
bury before, lest the snake might take
fancy for human flesh. At last we reach
ed Sierra Leone, nearly dismasted, and
with only three hands on board fit for du

in the Sierra Leone hospital, my head
shaved, and my limbs as weak as child :.
The brig had left the port with a new
crew, and the few suryi ors of her former

The Skies Are Bright.

The Republican party, so called, is rapidly
falling to pieces; nearly all its great leaders
are arrayed on the side Of the people, and
stand like wall of brass against the Radi-
Gals. Had Mr.. Lincoln lived, no one doubts
that he would have led off against the dis
unionistS, who, under the lead of Thad
Stevens, are attempting to accomplish the
very thing that the rebels failed to accom-
plish, viz: the dissolution of the Union
The fact that the men who were most famil-
lar with Mr.. Lincoln sentiments, and en-
joyed his confidence in all matters of State
policy, are with President johnson and the
people to-day, is conclusive evidence that
Mr.. Lincoln could he rise from his grave
ow, would be with the people and against
he dlsunlon crew who are causing so much
trouble. Mr. Lincoln, it is well known
never had particle of confidence in Thad.
Stevens, and 1t is as well known that Thad
had no respect for Mr.. Lincoln. Frequently,
Mr.. Stevens spoke of the deceased Presi-
dent IN terms Of bitter reproach and sarcas-
tic contempt.
1t must be evident to all then, that had
Alr. Lincoln lived he would have pursued
the same policy now pursued by President
johnson, and of course would have been
denounced in the same manner and by the
same men that are now in full cry against
the President Where 90 we find Mr. Lin
coin 5 most intimate and confidential friends
in this controversy? Where is George Ash
mum, of Massachusetts, the man who was
President of the Chicago National Conven-
ton that nominated Mr.. Lincoln for the
Presidency? He is on the stump, pleading
with the people to sustain President John
son. Where is Henry j. Raymond, the
Chairman of the Republican National Com
mittee2 With the President, battling by
day and by night against the Thad. Stevens
disunionists. Where is General Dix, the
man who had such unbounded influence
over Mr.. Lincoln? With the President
heart and soul Where is the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher, the old original Abolitionist,
and on whose judgment Mr.. Lincoln relied
somuch? lie too yields hearty support to
the President of the United States. Where
are the men who composed the Lincoln cab
inet@Seward, Bates, Blair, Welles2 With
the President, heartily We might go on
and mention hundreds of other representa-
tive men of the Republican party who are
now doing battle in the conservative ranks.
The fact IS the Republican party has gone to
pieces Its leaders have left it, and it is
now in the keeping of the new converts
the men who turned their political coats for
the purpose Of making money. The true
men-the men of brains and merit, the true
friends of Mr.. Lincoln, are with the people
and the President.
Democrats! Conservatives the skies are
bright We never entered on a campaign
with better prospects of success. The dis
union negro party is being crushed beneath
the weight of It's own enormities, and is bro
ken and divided. Let this encourage US to
labor. Be united, be active, be vigilant.

Grant, stanton and Lincoln.

When Grant was about to leave Washing
ton to enter upon that sublime campaign
which began those. terrible battles IN the
Wilderness, and closed with the capture OF
Richmond and the total overthrow OF the
Rebellion he called upon Secretary Stanton
to say goodbye. The Secretary was anxious
" awaiting him. During the two and
half years that the President and Secretary
of War had managed the Federal armies, 1t
was the first point in their plans to keep
Washington heavily garrisoned with troops
Large bodies of men were stationed In the
Notifications around the city, and other large
bodies were kept within supporting distance.
Now that Grant had come into power, Stan
ton wished to see that the defence of WASH
ington was not overlooked. Accordingly,
after few preliminaries, the Secretary re-
marked:
Well, General, 1 suppose you have left
us enough men to strongly garrison the
forts p
"No," said Grant coolly. 81 can't do
that.
Why not?" cried Stanton, jumping ner-
vously about why not? Why mott"
Because have already sent the men to
the front, - replied Grant calmly
That won't do, said Stanton, more ner-
vously than before Its contrary to my
plans. can't allow it. I'll order the men
back"
g I shall need the men there" answered
the Lieutenant-General, and you can t
order the men back.
Why not?' inquired Stanton again
"Why not? Why not"
!" L believe that [ rank the Secretary in
this matter, was the quiet reply.
. Very well, said Mr.. Stanton, well see
the President about that. I'll have to take
you to the President
'' That right, y politely observed the Gen
eral, the President ranks us both
Arrived at the White House, Grant and
the Secretary asked to see the President
upon important business, and in a few! min
utes the good-natured face of Mr.. Lincoln
appeared.
Well, gentlemen, said he with a genial
smile, what do you want with me ?'
General, said Stanton stifly, Estate
your case.
| have no case to state, replied Grant.
" I'm satisfied as it is, thus outhanking the
Secretary, and displaying the same strategy
In diplomacy as IN war.
"Well, well, said the President, laugh
ing, " state your case, Mr. Secretary
Mr.. Stanton obeyed General Grant said
nothing; the President listened attentively.
When the Secretary had concluded, Mr.
Lincoln crossed his legs, rested his elbow on
his knee, tWinkled his eyes, and quantity
said:
Now, Secretary, you know we have been
trying to manage this army for nearly three
years; and you know we haven't done much
with it; we sent over the mountain end
brought Mr. Grant, IS Mrs. Grant Calls him,
to manage it for us, and now / guess we had
better let Mr.. Grant have his own way
From this decision there was no appeal
So Gen. Grant went to the front, and Secre-
tary Stanton went back to his ofice.-Hours
