From the Decatur (Ill.) Magnet, Sept. ell
Most if not nearly all, ofour citizens
ave noticed u dilapidated vehicle,
somewhat resembling a circus wagon.
located on u vacant lot on North Main
syreet, in which resided an old and pow
ortv stricken man. Some time in the
spring the wagon, propelled by a cou-
nle of a~ttenuated horses, arrived in this
rritv. and the old man. pitched his tent
IN the place mentioned where, through
the charity Of the owners, he has since
heon permitted to dwell. Here he has
lived ever since, eking out an existence
Nv the donations Of our benevolent citi-
zeus, he having disposed ofthe horses
for 4 small sum.
Yesterday, f. s. Murphy, Esq, one
of our most prominent lawyers, recei-
we'd q call from a Scotch gentleman
named McGregor, who, after q long
and weary search, had found the indi.
yidual named we have thus described
and whom he Identifies as the youngest
son of the late Earl Of Clanricarde, one
of the wealthiest and most influential
noblemen in Scotland. The story re-
lated by Mr.. McGregor is almost
m~arvelousi in its details, and would fur
nish the materials for a first class three
volume novel. Some forty years since
the poor old mau who has attracted the
commission of our citizens was q DASH

her in opposition to the commands OF
his proud father and remorN brances OF
his proud elder brother. Being disin

sold his commission, and with his wife
came to this country. After five years
of yicissitudes upon q rugged farm in
the western wilds, his wife died, and
broken in spirit and sore in heart, he
relinqulshed his claim and roamed with

annum His good fortune, alas has
come too late PROSTATE in mind and

Vital Questions.

From the New York Express.l
A Jacobin (clty) organ has the ef;
frontry to say:
"There is but one vital question re-
naming to be settled under existing pc.
litical organizations. 1t concerns the
status and the hopes Of four millions OF
our countrymen. "Shall a black man
be deniedt the common rights of citizen
ship because of his color? Shall foul
millions of blacks, including two hun
dred thousand Union soldiers, be for
ever serfs and outcasts in the land OF
their birth Shall any man be dis
franchised for no fault of his own?'
/. Now we contend that the vital ques-
ton is quite as much "the status and
the hopes of some six or seven mil.
lions of white men, whom the Radicals,
in defiance of the Constitution, are dis
franchising because Of their "color,'
and many of them "for no fault oftheil
own" quite as much as the status and
hopes of the negro.
The Jacobin sees nothing, knows
nothing in these Southern provinces
now but the negro. His status and his
''hopes" are all that concern him.
The status and the hopes Of double OF
treble the number Of our own race are
of no earthly account.
There is. however, more than ono
.vital question to be settled under ex'
listing political organizations-and a
mong these are some which have q di
rect bearing upon affairs nearer homo
than the South. For example, the
questions:
Whether the Federal administration
is to remain in the hands of q Rnml
Congress, which exercises its power ia
defiance of constitutional authority.
Whether these ususpe"s are to be
permitted to depose the President, and
seize the executive branch Of the Gov
eminent.
Whether New England and her al
lies Ill llC cSLclu anu NhiuttiV SVoUSo
are to rule or ruin the rest OF. the coun.
try.
Whether the labor and industry o.
the nation are to be made eternally sub
ordinate to q greedy high Tariff Oligar
chy.
Whether corruption and fraud, II
public Office, are to 60 on in the name
of 'loyalty"-depleting the Fedora
and State c%xchequers, and adding daily
to the burthens of the people.
Whether our whole system Of gov
eminent is to be changed-as thu
Southern States--from a Republic dc
pending upon tle will of the People, tt
a Military Dcspotism depending upor
tic will of a Central Directory and tn
whims of its creatures in shoulder
straps.

Awful Rebel Outrage Oh the
Mayor Of Memphis.

Mayor Of Memphis.
After the adjournment Of the Coun-
Gil yesterday afternoon, a conversation
occurred between General Forrest and
Mayor Lofland. Our attention was
first directed to it from hearing the
Generals voice loud and cmphatic--
we had heard it before, and knew it was
hut the portent of the storm. The con
yersation was in respect to the state
mcnts made by the Mayor in regard to
the paying bonds, General Forrest in
sisting that Mayer Lofand had uncan-
didly lodged the question, and where
he did not dodge, had made false state
ments. The Mayor was sitting down,
and Forrest had by this time risen to
his feet. The Mayor denied the soft
impeachment, which made General
Forrest more irate, and he denounced
him in language like the following
"You lied, and you know it, you per-
jured scoundrel;' and, turning to the
assembled crowd Of Aldermen and by
ISLANDERS, he said: 81 dcnounce you as
u puppy and scoundrel; | place the
brand upon you, and you have to car
ny it," Mayor Lofand sat still; we
saw deep excitement in his face, which
was betrayed by the nervous twicllngs
of the upper lip. We heard not q word
in answer, and General Forrest walked
away. This is q truthful report OF the
scene, thought eXtenuated or aught SCI
down in maIice."-Agolanche, 1lth.
