In the performance Of a duty imposed upon
me By the Contribution, j have thus submitted
to the Representatives of the People such infor-
nation of Cur domestic and foreign affairs as
the public Interests seem to require. Our
Government Is now undergoing it most try
ing ordeal, and my earnest prayer Is, that the
peril may be successfully Eud finally passed,
without impairing 8 its original strength and
symmetry. The interest of the ration
of fEatsrnaI relations. the complete OBJ
liberation of our past differences. and the re-
inauguration Of all the pursuits of peace,
Directing our efforts to the early accomplish
ment Of these great ends, let US endeavor to
preserve harmony between the coordinate de-
partments of the government, that each in its
proper sphere may cordially corporate with the
other in securing the maintenance of the con-
stitutiOn, the preservation of the Unions and the
perpetUity flour free institutions -

The Bankrupt Law,

The Bankrupt law which was passed
on Tuesday last in the National House of
Representatives, but which is yet to be
concurred in by the Senate, makes the o.
S. District Courts, courts of bankruptcy,
and also gives the Circuit Courts jurisdic-
ton of the subject. 1t provides for both
voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy.
In the former, any citizen owing over $500
shall apply by petition to the Judge of his
district, setting out his inability to pay his
debts in full, and his willingness to surren-
der his property fer the benefit of his cred
itors. The filing the petition is an act of
bankruptcy upon which the Judge directs
the u. 5. Marshal to take possession of
his effects until an assignee is appointed.
The creditors then hold a meeting and
choose the assignees. Creditors, whose
debts are proved, share the effect in pro-
portion without any prefering except in
case of the wages Of operatives, clerks or
house servants, to an amount not more
! than $50 each, and debts due the United
States or State, and taxes. If it shall
appear in court that the bankrupt has in
/ all things conformed to his duty under
! this act, and that he is entitled under the
provisions thereof to receive a discharge,
the court shall grant him discharge from
all his debts, except as hereinafter provid-
ed, and shall give him certificate there
of under the seal Of the court. InvoIun-
tary bankrutcy is caused by various acts
of the debtor, such as a departure from
the State, avoiding the service of legal
process, removal or concealment of prop
erty, fraudulent assignment of property,
arrest and detention for debt for period of
seven days, and confession Of judgment or
suspension of payment of commercial
paper for fourteen days. Various penal
ties for frauds, concealments, &c, are
provided; and the law goes into effect as
soon as the necessary officers are appoint
ed; provided no proceedings shall in any
case commence before November 1st,
1866.

Parson BrownIow in the Past.

Our readers no doubt care as little as we
do for the sayings and doings of this
abandoned old reprobate; but as Govern
or of an important State ike Tennessee,
and ga burning and a shining light of
the Radical party, it may not be amiss
to give little reminiscence Of his past,
in contrast with his present position and
views. In May 1860, he addressed let
ter to the Rev. MIR. Payne, Northern
Abolitionist, in which he said:
dissolve this Union, you infamous
villains, and we shall make this PROPOSE
ton at once to Louis Napoleon, most
sagacious monarch, and he would quarter
at New Orleans 10000 Frenchmen, and
at Chesapeake 200, 600 more he would
then command the Mississippi Valley,
whip the Northwestern States into our
Southern Confederacy, and we would then
turn upon the New England States, and
cause the hurricane Of civil war TO rage
and sweep from Mason and Dlxon's line
to the codfisheries of Maine, until he
would eXtinguish the last abolition foot
hold on the continent of America! Face
to face, knife TO knife, steel to steel, and
pike to pike, we would meet you, and as
we would cause you to bleed at every
pore, we would make you regret in the
bitter agonies of death, that you had ever
felt any concern for the African race.

nal course persued by you and your I'M

suits will be as have said, and you or
your children will live to see it. Pale

to secure his assistance in collecting his
debt. He soon made himself known, and
while they were discussing about the stol-
en- horse, lady and child entered the
same office. There was a momentary
pause, and husband and wife were in each
others arms. We shall not attempt to
describe tse scene which followed. The
husband found wife and child, whom he
firmly believed to be dead, and the wife
found a husband over whose grave she
had shed bitter tears of woe
Mrs. Geroux was visiting the same at
torney, to find out about her husband s
confscated property, and to apply to the
Government to have his property restored
to her.

STORY OF HE WAR,

Facts that are Stranger than Fiction.
There is now living in the city of Gin
cinnati, a family, the history of which
forms something so romantic as to consti-
tute a most interesting story:
In the summer of 1859 Charles GerouX
became graduate Of a college in the
southern part of this State lie was the
descendent Of an aristocratic family who
lived in Louisiana, and, TO be brief, he was
then a full embodiment of the s'chilvalry," s"
just having entered his majority. While
attending college he had formed the ac-
quaintance of Clara c., who attended
college for young ladies in this city,
which acquaintance ripened into attach
ment and love, and JUST before the break
ing out Of the rebellion, they were mar
ried and removed South. Miss C
was an orphan, possessed Of considerable
property, which was held in trust by her
uncle, Southern minister who had raised
her from infancy, and personally superin-
tended her education. In addition to the
endowments of collegiate education she
was possessed of a strong character bor-
derlng almost on the masculine, but tenn
pered with sweetness and mildness not
often combined in the same person. She
was at once handsome and womanly.
Within n year after their marriage and
settlement in The South, came the fierce,
wild blasts Of war from Sumter's parapet.
and there was none more ready to enter
the deadly fray than Charles Geroux -
His political tutors We're practical seces-
sionists, and he entered upon the war with
| a iervor and zeal TO command the admira-
! ton Of his friends, and which secured him
| a majors commission. His wife opposed
his mad scheme with all the power of {
! woman's eloquence but 20 no avail. Sh,
openly espoused the cause of the Union
steadfastly refused to cooperate with he
new friends and neighbors. Notwithstand
ing her love for the old flag, and opel
unionism, her husband loved her. an,
while her husband was at home the neigh
bors respected her. Geroux invested al
his ready property, which included hi
wite's fortune, in Confederate bonds. plac
ed them in her hands, gave her a kiss fo
a short farewell, assured her that the wa
would soon be over, and marching at tn
head of victorious column of his coun
try's defenders, she would be proud t
welcome him. After his departure, he
treatment by his relatives and neighbor
became almost intolerable because of he
hatred of secession.
After two years of service in the Con
tederate army, he was captured prisone
by the victorious Sherman, in his marc
to Atlanta, and sent TO Camp Douglas.
This was good news to his wife, wh
could not longer endure the persecution
she received at the South, and she resoly
ed to make her way North and rejoir hir
in his prison home, and if she could nc
secure his pardon, to at least stay nea
him. Her Confederate bonds were worth
less, and she was penniless; she made he
way to the Mississippi and took passagt
on the Inflated steamer Sultana for tn
North; she sold some jewelry for money
sufficient to carry her to Chicago. Arriv
ing at Memphis her child was taken yer,

THE ROMANCE OF DIvORCE.-Indiana
has long been famous for the multitudinous
divorce cases which cumber the records of
her Courts. There is rarely in this con-
nection, anything pleasant to narrate, but
the incidents following constitute eNcep
tions to the rule:
A couple in Sullivan had been married
six years, but of late failed to be agreeable
to each other, and the husband, in a fit of
anger, instituted proceedings for divorce,
which he procured and promptly carried
to his wife She was indignant, but said
she was ready TO 60, and bade him accom-
pany her to the wardrobe, to see that she
took no clothes but her own. Opening
the door, she paused moment, and then
burst into tears Her emotion was caused
by the sight of dress of dear little
daughter who died two years ago. The
husband saw the cause Of her deep sorrow,
and was affected as much as herself
They embraced, tore up the divorce, and
were married again before morning.

A STRANGE RESENIBLANCE.-Th was
recently in the Southwest a tragedy some
what similar to the murder of the Deering
family in Philadelphia, by which family
named Deerfield was murdered The
murderer of the latter family has been
convicted. His name is Coovert, and the
Memphis Ledger states that there is most
remarkable resemblance between him and
Probst. Both are FIVE feet seven or eight
inches high, have blue eyes, light hair,
and turned-up noses. Both have strid-
ling walk and stoop in the shoulders,
and both served in the army. The strang-
est resemblance of all, however, is, that
Coovert, like Probst, has lost the thumb
of his right hand, which was shot off
whilst in the service.

Why ONE SHOULD NOT SwEAR-An
article in the Pittsburgh Preacher, gives
eight good reasons why a man should not
swear:
l. 1t is mean. A man of high moral
standing would almost as soon steal a
sheep as swear. 2. 1t is vulgar-altogeth
er too low for decent man. 3. 1t is
cowardly-implying fear either of not
being believed or obeyed. 4. 1t is un-
gentlemanly. A gentleman, according to
Webster, is genteel maxwell bred, re-
fined. Such a one will no more swear
than 90 into the street to throw mud with
a loafer 5. 1t is indecent-offensive to
delicacy, and extremely unfit for human
ears. 6. 1t is foolish ''Want of de-
cency is want of sense" 7. 1t is abusive
to the mind which conceives.

DEATH OF TIE LAST SURVIVOR OF TIE
WYoMISG MAssACRE.-A correspondent
of the Baltimore San, in a letter dated
York Springs, May 18th, says: The death
took place yesterday of Samuel Kennedy,
near York Springs, Adams county, Pa,
in the 93d year Of his age. He was the
last survivor of the Wyoming massacre.
His mother brought him away when five
years old, in her flight from that inhuman
slaughter. She, with her son Samuel,
settled in Menallen township, then York,
now Adams county, where she has resid-
ed until his death, surrounded by his child
ren, grand and great grandchildren, res
pected citizen, without an enemy, beloved
by all who knew him. His father, j Ohm
Kennedy, with his two brothers, Samuel
and Thomas, settled in the Wyoming set
tlement sometime before its destruction
by the Indians. Samuel was killed, and
his wife and six children taken prisoners
and were never heard of after the massa-
ere; but Johns wife and three children,
the eldest being the boy Samuel, just de-
ceased, after hiding in a wheat field, sur
rounded by Indians all night, finally es-
caped. John was absent at the time,
having gone to PENIS Valley to assist in
guarding the people there from the Indians.
Two of his wife's brothers were killed in
the massacre. The other Kennedy CThom-
as) was a single man at the time, and
was uninjured. The deceased was born
on the 9th December, 1773, in Northum-
berland county, Pa.

ONE of the favorite accomplishments
of .'Geary'' is to attempt to straddle two
horses and he has recently undertaken to
ride pair going in different directions.
He would like TO have the people believe
that he is for the President and Congress
both, and he would be delighted if he
could humbug the honest voters into the
impression that he was in favor of negro
suffrage and at the same time opposed TO
striking the word s'white'' from the Con-
stitution of Pennsylvania,-Age.

CHURCHES BURNT IN TIE SoUTH.-A
writer in the New Orleans Christian Id
vocate says that so far as he has ascertained
between one thousand and twelve humid
red church houses were burnt during the
war. These Churches, he thinks, have
cost the people not less than five millions
of dollars. In the loss the Methodists
were the greatest sufferers the Baptists
next, then the Presbyteriars, the Catho-
lies least.

Not a soldier discharged farewell shot
O'er the grave where poor ducky was
buried.
We buried him him darby, at the dead of
night,
The sods with the barn-shovel turning,
By the struggling moon beams misty light,
And the lantern dimly burning.
No useless coffin enclosed his breast,
Nor in sheet, nor in shroud, we wound
him,
But he lay like a dead ducb taking his rest,
With his tail-feathers scattered around him.
We thought, rs we followed his narrow bed
And smoothed down his poor crippled
wings,
What lesson t'wouId be to the fools who
had strivsn,
To reach unattainable things.
Few and short were the prayers we said,
And we spoke not word Of sorrow,
For we knew that had he not thus been in
TERED
He would have made our dinner tomorrow
But half Of our heavy work was through
When the clock told the hour for retiring
And we learned by chauticleer's Occasional
crow,
That the sur would soon be rising
Slowly and sadly we laid him down.
From the place Of his fall fresh and CORY
We carvel not a line, we raised not stone,
To recall our Dead Ducks last glory.

The same grave this day is neatly sod

Broken-hearted and bowed down with
griet, she wended her way on foot to the
great city of Chicago-not knowing why
she went. A stranger among strangers,
with no one to aid and pity her save the
good God, who in her utmost heart, she
believed had forsaken her.
She was taken in and cared for by the
Sisters OF Charity until she could hear
from her friends in Ohio, from whom she
had received no intelligence for the past
four years. A letter was received. that
Immediately after the war her uncle had
died, and that, soon after, his widow had
removed to Iroquois county, Illinois. TO
live with her married son. Mrs. Geroux
was supplied with money to enable her to
find her friends in Iroquois county, where
she has since resided.
Geroux returned to his situation at Gin.

there he sought out the attorney who had
him discharged on the habeas corpus, to
learn the whereabouts of the horse that
did him such exceeding good service, and
