interesting extract:

1872. Major Goodale, my father, and
family, with about forty Others, in all,
arrived at Marietta, July 1788, being the
first party of white women and children

sInE1Y pER eEHr PURELY AmtRIeAH.

The statements of DR. Bellows, at the
late New England dinner in New York,
in regardto the number of Americans in
our armies is worthy of note
After referring to the fact that thirteen
millions of money had passed through
his hands for the relief of widows and or
phans of fallen soldiers. he said Speaking
from authority, that " no less than ninety
per cent of the army who fought through
out the war. was purely American. -
And what is equally remarkable that
ninety per cent. of the claims of wound
ed soldiers, and soldiers widows and or
phans came from those Of foreign birth "
IF these statements be correct, and they
come from high authority, they are
complete answer to the English journals
that assert that our war for the Union
was fought by foreigners, hired for that
purpose. In saying this we do not wish
to be understood as disparaging the for
eigners who were in our armies That so
many of them were there IS a fact honor
able alike to themselves and the country
for which so many of them laid down
their lives
That so many of the applicants for re-
lief should be foreigners, IS not dis
creditable to them, Is it only an evi-
dence that those who have enjoyed the
privileges of a free government the lon
ger were better enabled to sustain the
of the war, without seeking aid
from the Government.

A FEARFUL Story OF HYDROPHOBIA.

A FEARFUL STORY OF HYDROPHOBIA.
The Madison (Wiscousin) Journal re-
lates the following terrible story -
Some six or seven years ago, a mad dog
went through the village of Waterloo,
Jefferson county. and bit number ofani-
mails. Among others it snapped at the
leg of COW belonging to Mr.. Babcock.
The animal was examined, but no mark
could be found, and it was supposed that
it escaped being bitten. The animal was
afterwards sold to a man by the name of
Garrison, who used her milk very freely,
as did two of his children. Some of the
neighbors. including Mr.. DreW's family,
were also supplied with the milk of this
cow At differnt times, during the time
since the COW was bitten, there has been
inexplicable and fatal sickness among
those using her milk, and two children of
Mr. Garrison, two Of Mr.. Drew, and two
others have been attacked with spasm
and died with agony Mr.. Garrison has
also been attacked at times with spasms.
The mystery Of this sickness was solved
by the death, with every symptom of hy
drophObia, a short time ago, of the COW
so slightly bitten seven years ago, and IN
whose system madness had been latent
ever since. The case is a singular one,
and one worthy the attention Of scientific
men.

1t has become customary Of late to pass
a new Postal law at each session of Con
gress. and the present session is not like
ly to prove an exception to the rule. Mr..
Dixon. chairman of the Senate Post Of
fee Committee. has introduced IN that
body bill making some radical changes,
a portion Of which are highly desirable,
while in regard to others there is room to
doubt their utility. The proposed change
in regard TO the postage on newspapers,
magazines, etc, requiring publishers to
prepay the postage before mailing them,
must we think, necessarily prove per
picking and burthensome to those engaged
in publishing, without any material ad-
vantage resulting to the revenue from the
same, as there can be but little loss Of
postage on this class Of mail matter if
Postmasters faithfully discharge their
duty, which is in all cases to demand pay
ment in advance before delivering the
publication upon which postage is due
The following is a synopsis of the bill as
introduced:
That after January, 1867, all newspa-
pers and periodicals, including those mail
ed from the Office Of publication, shall be
prepaid, and none shall be carried without
payment, except those coming from for
eign countries. %, That the Postmaster
General may sell stamps and envelopes
at the value of the stamps impressed up
on them. Sd, After the 1st of April
next, letters forwarded from one office to
another at the request of the person ad-
dressing, shall be sent without additional
postage, and dead letters shall be return
ed free. 4th, Letters endorsed to be re-
turned to the writer. act of March ,, 1868
shall be returned free. 9TH, Authorizes
the sending of letters to any part of the
United States and foreign ports, at a cost
not exceeding the sea postage. 9th, The
provision for publishing lists of adver-
tIsed letters In newspapers of the largest
circulation Is repealed, and advertising
left discretionary with the F. NJ Gener-
al. 9Th, The balance of the appropria-
tion of 81, 100000, under the 18th section
of the act of May l9, 1864, may be used
as far as necessary to supply deficiencies
in the proceeds of the money order sys-
TEN for the current year. 8th, Any sum
not exceeding $50 may be sent by money
order, and the fee for from $50 to so shall
be thirty cents 9th, A money order shall
be good for twelve months, and if lost,
duplicate shall be issued free. 10th, All
railroads carrying the mails shall carry
without extra charge all printed matter
directed by the Postmaster General to be
carried thereon. 1th, Persons malicious
" Interfering with letter boxes shall be
fined from 500 to 81 900 and imprisoned
not less than three years. 18th, The
President may divert appropriations from
one branch of the postal service to anoth-
or when necessary.

The London Times, in It's review of
President Johnson's Message, says the
passage which especially concerns Eng
land ought to be accepted in friendly
spirit. He could do no less than review
the history of the Alabama claims, and
in reviewing them he could hardly say
less, at least to an American Congress.
The Times also admits that it is perfect
ly true, as a matter of fact, that England
furnished more efficient aid to the Con-
federates than any other power" 1t con-
tends that this could not be otherwise, as
England was the chief maratime power,
and that citizens and not the Government
was to blame. It proceeds to say that
England is as much inclined to peace at
the present time as Mr.. johnson pro
poses to be, but asserts that the open toll
erance of Fenian movements would not
be fair neutrality on the part of cur au-
thorities, if they could help them. Eng
land, however, does not demand their
suppression, because the President ought
not to be held responsible for anything
which the laws of free country do not
enable him to check, still Great Britain
wants the same forbearance in respect to
its own shortcomings.

WE'LL SAID.

There is In every community a s1aall
class of uneasy persons, who having adopt
ed opinions Of their own on matters of
public policy, will tolerate ne failure on
the part of others to. fully coincide with
them, and on discovering or imagining
the discovery Of a difference from their
preconcieyed notions on the part of pub
lie fUnetipnaFy, though such difference
may be in minor details of a general plan
involving no question of principle, are
ready to denounce the unfortunate per-
son so differing as having relinquished the
true faith and gone over to the
enemy. This spirit is also manifested
occasionally by an over ardent journal of
the Union party-one of which, a st.
Louis German paper. having arranged
the President for failing to adopt its the
ory on the subject of reconstruction, and
INDUCED in remarks as incorporate as
they were unjust-called forth from the
Chicago Republican the following sound
and sensible remarks
This sort of talk seems to US the per
fection of folly. It Is unworthy of sensi-
Bile people as it is useless. We are quite
content to leave a monopoly of it to journ- |
lis which seek to infect the people with /
III sorts of imaginary terrors For our /
part, we intend to do nothing which shall |
Vantonly weaken the public confidence |

Each of these branches of the Govern
