house, Mrs. Chandler informed the doctor
that her daughter Susan died on Saturday
and that the body had been placed in coffin

looking into the coffin, remarked that the

Power of the Republican Party.

The Richmond Whig defends the action of
recent meeting at Charlottesville, in an
article of which the following is an extract;
What is the Republican party? 1t repre-
sents and wields the whole power OF the
Government. 1t is, to all intents and pur-
poses, the Government. To oppose it is to
oppose the Government. There is no other
party deserving the name in the United
States. There is a feeble faction called the
Democratic party, that cares for itself and
nothing else. This moment it would rejoice
to see the South further crushed and lacer
ated, if thereby it could prevail against the
Republican party. There are still persons
who talk about its fidelity to the South, when
every one who knows anything knows that
it has rendered the South no other service
than hypocritical lip service. 1t melted us
10 war under the promise of assistance, and
then gave its money and its fighting force to
the armies of invasion. It's boast has been
and now is that without its aid the South
would not have been subjugated. These are
cur friends for whom we are to sacrifice
everything, and TO conciliate whose good
opinion we are to hurl ourselves against tn /,
Republican party, the Government, the
Union. Not so, say we. We have nothing
either to hope or to fear from the Democracy
of the North. On the contrary, we have
everything to fear from continued war upon
Z" the party Of the Union, +" and our only hope
is in its favor. 1t dominates over the whole
North, it rules every department of the
Government, it has the army and the navy,
and is marked by every trait that defines
supremacy. How is it at the South ? 1t has
all the colored population, all the original
Union men, and is hourly gaining conces
sions from the Confederate ranks. The
instinct of self fpreservation is impellng the
Southern masses to that "co operation
which our neighbor so detests. The fact is
that the people have at last become convinced
that they will be utterly ruined without
reconstruction, and have resolved to do every
thing that is necessary to that end. They
want peace and re2ose they want clear
field for industry and enterprise; they want
the protection of their Government, and, as
necessary thereto, participation in it.

Moonlight Sleigh Riding Over the
No

A moonlight sleigh ride over the Sierra
Nevada mountains is ride which none
can ever forget. On the afternoon of March
Is. we took sleigh drawn by six noble
looking horses as can be found anywhere,
and started. There were thirteen passen-
gers with their baggage. and one and a
halfNtons of silver on board. At twelve
O'Clock, midnight, we stopped for dinner at
a station close by that beautiful lake called
the "Bigler." The proprietor of the
station told me that he had taken away 20
feet of snow, and still there remained near
ly, if not QUITE 20 feet more in front of
his house. Steps were cut in the snow to
allow passengers across to his placein or
der that they might get their dinner and he
their dollars. Only 30 minutes were al
lowed, and with change of horses we
were off once more to the summit, which
we reached about two O'Clock in the morn
ing.g On the summit we noticed sparks of
fire coming, as. it were, out of the snow.
The driver told us that 20 feet under the
snow there was a large boarding house for
the selaborers, who are at work on the
great Pacific railroad. A hole was cut to
connect with the chimney for the smoke to
go out, and a tunnel extended 20 rods in
length for an entrance to the house. Such
is life on the Sierra Nevada mountains in
mid winter, with the snow to the depth of
an average of 80 feet or more on the level.
No teams are allowed to cross the noun
tains in the day time, for fear the horses
and all might be swamped, as the snow is
much harder and safer during the night
than through the day.

Singular Fight Between an Eagle
IFsst1 has z.nn6 n Fox -ts75'1-i ~


A Strathmore,a correspondent of the
Northern EhsigR records singular encoun-
ter 4between an eagle and fox on hill
called Benalskie. The eagle was devouring
the carcass of mountain hare, when fox
sprang from afbush of heather and seized
upon the iatruder{w had come to rob
him. of his prey) by the wing. A well
contested struggle ensued, in which the
bird made desperate effort to defend itself
with its claws, and succeeded in eXtricat-
inggitself from its enemy's grasp, but be-
fore it had time to escape, reynard had
seized it again by the breast, and
seemed more determined than ever. The
eagle made another attempt to over
power its antagonist by striking him with
its wings, but that would not compel him
to quit his hold AT length the eagle at
tempted to take wing, but reynard was not
to be cheated in, this manner. At last the
eagle succeeded in raising the fox from
terra frnad, and in a few minutes he was
suspended by his own jaws between heaven
and earth. He was now placed in an un-
favorable position for fighting; but bis
courage did not seem to forsake him, as he
firmly kept his hold and seemed to make
several attempts to bring the eagle down !;
but alasi he soon found the strong wings
of the eagle were capable of rails
ing him above the clouds. There
was now no way of escape unless
the bird would alight somewhere. The
eagle made straight ascent, and succeed.
ed in rising to a considerable height in the
air. The two combatants were still strug-

nard, from some cause or other, was obliged
to quit his grasp, and he was now descend

few seconds he was dashed to the ground,
where he lay struggling in the agonies of
DEATH The eagle made its escape in a
southern direction. 1t appeared weak
from exhaustion and loss of blood, but,
notwithstanding, managed to fly until at
last it was .obscured in the distance.

following interesting revelations:
n was by her thoughtful and timely
internosition upon the Trent affair that a
war between England and America was
averted. Englandmeant war, and made in
slant preparations for the emergency. The
ministers, if they did not mean it, took
step, which would have provoked war-a
step. which by the Queens interposition,
was so modified as to result amicably. The
