The rapid march of history in our
land was never more signally illustra-
ted than when the brokers of New
York recently sang "Old John Brown"
during their reception of Sheridan. 1t
seems only day or two since the
gaunt gray-bearded martyr to an idea
swung from Virginia scalfold, while
the learning, piety, and culture of the
country united in applauding the exc
cution. Yet since that time armies
have trodden to the rhythm of his re-
QUEEN, and the legend of his death has
become the history of the nation.

OSE of the good signs of Virginia
is, the location Of Northern farmers
within its bounds, Another is, that
this fact is greeted with congratula-
tions in Virginia itself. A Rich
mond paper, of Monday, states, as an
agreeable item of information, that
within a week, between twenty and
thirty farms in different parts of the
State, have been sold to farmers from
the North. This evidently indicates
the expectation, on the part of North
ern men, that the reconstruction of the
Union will be successfully completed,
and that in Virginia they will be able
to prosecute their plans of honest in
dustry with advantage and peace.
And those of the old inhabitants of
that State, who most wisely consider
their interests both personally and po-
litically, will rejoice in seeing labor,
intelligence and wealth thus flowing
among them. Acidity Of temper and
repulsive manners towards new and
valuable citizens, can have no other
effect than toaggravate, as well as pro-
long, the calamitous effects of the war,
which, on the other hand, the Offices Of
good neighborhood and friendship
will, with the advantages of climate
and soil, attract industry, intelligence
and wealth. The inducements to i'm
migration are numerous, and political
passions and prcjudices never acted
more absurdly than in arraying them
selves in opposition to so valuable a
public benefit. 1t is gratifying, there
fore, to see such opposition giving
way.

The Trial of JEFF. Dnvis--Linc of Proceed
ings.

RICHMOND, October 1.-The fol-
lowing facts relative to the coming
trial of jeff. Davis are from the best
authority: The trial is set for the
fourth Monday of November, and as
the Government will not interfere,
there will be no postponement by coun-
sci on either side. The offense of
levying war against the United States
will be testified to by Judge Scarbor-
ough, of Norfolk, Hon. John Good,
member of the Confederate Congress,
and Captain Henderson, who were
compelled to appear before the Nor
folk Grand Jury and testify to the
facts upon which the Indictment was
made. There will be very few if any
witnesses for the defense. The fact of
lcvying war being admitted, the prose-
cution will then proceed with the legal
argument that the prisoner is guilty Of
treason, and counsel for the defense
will argue that he being citizen of a
State and under its law, prior ale
glance was due to it, not to the United
States. 1t has been positively assert
ed that Judge Chase would preside,
but as the Supreme Court commences
its session on the first Monday of De-
cember, this is not possible, The trial
is expected to last several weeks.

WE heard a laughableanecdote ofa
"man with big foot" He was q
Rullalonian, who must be alive now
for a man with as good hold on the
ground is not likely to drop off in a
hurry. He stepped one day into a
small shop of a boot-makcr in the
fourishing capital of old Erie, and
asked Crispcn if he could make him q
pair of Boots. Looking at his long
pedal extrcmitics, and then glancna
at a huge uncut COW hide that hung Oh
the wall, he said
"Well, yes, l guess So" "What
time will you have them done ? To-
day is Monday"
"Well, it'll depend on circumstances;
| guess / can have 'em for you by
Saturday" On Saturday, therefore,
the man called for his boots.
"Have you got 'em done ?" said he,
as he entered the little shop.
"No, / havn't-I couldn't, it has
rained every day since | took your
measure"
Grained y exclaimed the astonish-
ed patron "Well what of that p
what had that to do with it ?"
"What had that to do with it ?"
echoed Crispin ut had a good deal
to do with it. When | make your
boots I've got to 60 out of doors, for |
hayn't room in my shop, and | can't
work out Of doors in rainy weather !"

GENERAL LOGAN has delighted the
Buckeyes in his stumping tour through
Ohio. Wherever he has gone he has
been greeted with enormous crowds.
In one of his meetings he related the
following anecdote to illustrate the
oneness of Northern Copperheads and
Southern rebels:
At Kenesaw Mountain we had in
our command an Irishman by the name
of Jimmy. They had Il great many
lrishmen on the other side. We had
a little truce there, and the men on
both sides were allowed to talk togeth-
er awhile. Jimmy recognized in one
of the rebels an oldacquaintance named
Paddy, and says he : "What the ID
are you doing on that side ?" Says
Paddy, "What the ID are you doing
on that side ?" "Why this is the side
of the government, sure" says Jimmy,
II am on the loyal side" "The ID
you are" says Paddy ; Saint that the
Abolition side? Bedad, and I'm on
the Dimocratic side anyhow I"
Cheers He was satisfied that he
was on the side he had always voted
on, and that he was still following in
the ranks of his party.
The perfect accord of the Northern
Democracy with their Southern broth
ern, in their course when they went off
in secession, was pointedly and harmo-
niously described thus
AS they left the halls of the national
legislature, and their seats in Buchan-
ans Democratic Cabinet-Floyd car
rying with him all the government
treasure he could lay hands on-and
sang
"Ths Is the way we long have sought
And mourned because we found it not"
And about the same time off here in
Ohio, might have been seen Vallan-
digham, Thurman, Pendleton, and
Others of the brethren, looking south
ward and saying /:

Just tell them we are coming too

every available means that promised relief, but
without success, until they called upon DR.. Do.
hcrty who in an incredibly short space of time,

announce this fact, because the Doctor is gen.

a manner that must be gratifying to all his pa.
tients. He examines, advises and recommends
without charge, and the patient after hearing
his terms for treatment, can accept or reject at
pleasure. In no case does the Doctor make u
charge unless he effects cure. This, be ia able
to do; because he feels the confidence which long
experience has given, and no doubt the consola.
ton which appcrtains to that confidence. Per.
sons afflicted with either acute or chronic disease

it can do no harm, as for consultation he asks no
