A New AND "MoNEY MAKING" Bust
NEss.-Three young men were arrested
at Chicago lately on charge Of va
grancy, and in defense one Of them
showed that they were engaged in this
novel business:
"These two gentlemen and myself are
the firm of Edwards & Griffin. We are
proposers. By that l mean we propose
to young ladies and help them to get
married. We are benefactors. When
we see q young lady who is not, and
never has been engaged, one Of US says
to her: ave will get you married for
$, payable after marriage" OF
course she says yes. For the time being
one Of US is considered as engaged to
her. We trumpet the fact abroad.
Whenever the other two of US meet &
young man who is not engaged, we say /:
"What a lucky dog Griffin is He has
won Miss X" And we praise her. We
encourage the young man to go in and
cut Griffin out for the fun Of the thing.
Being fool, like most young men, he
does it. He proposes to Miss X, know
ing that she is engaged to Griffin, and
hardly expecting that she will accept
him. But she always does, and he can
never cut loose from her. He must
marry her or be tried for breach Of pro
mise. I myself have been engaged
twenty-five times during the last year
We are doing so well that we think o
hiring a clerk to do part Of the worl
for us. l should not have told yor
this but for your atrocious threat abou
Bridewell. But as we have given tn
names, it does not make much differ
ence."

FINDING or Mss GooDYoUGH's BoDY.
The body Of Miss Addie Goodnough,
the young lady who wandered from the
residence OF her father in Brandon about
three months since, while in q state Of
mental arrangement, and about whom
some suspicious of foul play were raised
a few weeks since, was found yesterday
on mountain in Chittenden, about four
miles east of her fathers house. She
was discovered by couple Of farmers
who were engaged in mendng their
fences on the mountain, and was in
pretty good state of preservation con-
siderng the length Of time which has
elapsed since her death. An inquest is
to be held on the body to-day, when the
remains will be properly inferred.

says that Oscar F, Mattison of Shafts

day, while coming down the mountain.

load Of lumber, and while returning,
about by Mr.. West Townsends, he either
fell or was by some means thrown from

face. The horses then run, dragging

PoNTED.-Herschel V. Johnson, one
of the most blatant secessiQnists of the
South during the rebellion, recently ad-
dressed q colored assemblage at Macon,
Georgia, in which he besought the
blacks to cast their suffrage with the
Democratic party as a matter of inter-
est to themselves. In the course OF his
remarks he was interrupted by colored
man, who put the case personally to him
in this style:

and wishes to see all the people prosper,
why don't he accept the reconstruction

The Sentinel notices the proceedings of the
Turner meeting in Hillsborough, but pru-
IDENTIFY suppresses the resolution in which Il
wish is expressed for the death of Hon.
Thaddeus Stevens. If such men as Pell,
Turner and Vance had supreme control in
this country, and had such men as Mr. Ste
vens in their power they would torture them
to death with the same spirit of deliberate
vengeance with which the prisoners at Sails
bury and Andersonvillc We're starved and
shot. Native Union men here would be
driven out from their possessions, and would
be shot like rabbits in the woods and on the
public roads. The negroes might be spared,
because they would be reduced again to slave
~, and would he as valuable in that cundi-
ton as formerly Brother Pell would think
all this was the will of God, and he would
repair to the Church, at the ring of the
bell" as he did IN 1865, to give thanks for
new victories and to pray for a fuller and
richer harvest of vengeance on his enemies.
When the spirit of secession enters man
like Pell once Unionist, and the man thus
sins against his conscience and becomes
"conscious traitor" he is lost to all self-re-
spect and to every emotion of pity The
evil which such person will do is limited
only by his capacity and the power that is
over him.

"The loval people of Ashe are rejoiced to
think that Congress is alive to the rights of
the loval people of the State. They think
the time is soon coming when Loyalists, with

star-spangled banner through the streets of
| Jefferson unmolested, without witnessing the
| naintul spectacle of seeing it torn down.
! The Lovalists in this County are organizing,
| and will soon be ready for any emergency
The rebels have managed to obtain the con-
troll of the Courts in this County. The first
LEGISLATURE, with Mr.. Carson as our member,

tion rebel was elected to the Legislature,
and went to Raleigh and had appointed
thirty odd more, all rebels, which gave
them majority, and they elected full

] Some four or five months ago, some I'm
\ ion men raised the American flag at Jeffer-
sop. when it was torn down and insulted by

these rebels have been arrested and punished.
There is one consolation, and that is, Con-
ey,ess intends thut this State, in all its depart
.aasnts from constable mp, shall be Thoroughly

matter what time it may require. The State

at will be seen, by the letter of Gen. Crit
fin to the Governor, that the military power
intends to make no distinction of color in
the appointment of Registers in the various
portions of the State. We are informed
that wherever colored men can be found in
Texas with the requisite qualifications, in
those counties possessing any considerable,
portion of this population, they will be asso-

connection with them. This seems to us to
be wholly unobjectionable."
