PRENTICE of the Louisville Journal,
says that should Congress pass "
series of measures to subyert the
State Governments of the South,
that President Johnson would rot
and ought not to enforce them.-
The ground Of tn, opinion is not
given; but we can easily sec that
the President would stand upon an
imprcgnable position shonldheplant
himself upon that provision Of, the
L. S. Constitution which requires
him upon his official oath to sec that
each State be guaranteedoa Republi-
can form Of government, and all
know what q Republican, form Of
government is--it'is one which is
set up. and controlled by the people
through their representatives. g.

The Returned Captlyes.

We happened to be in the Gov
ernor's office at the capitol, the 9th
morning, when two ladies entered,
one of whom proved to be the eldest
daughter of the unfortunate Mrs.
Box, of Montague county, lately,
with her four children, ia captive of
the Kiowa Indians. She is an in
teresting girl, of sixteen or seven
teen years of age, and told the sad
story of their capture and sufferings
with frequent tears. The whole
family, including Mr.. Box, the
father, q veyy respectable man,
known to the Governor, had been
on a visit to q noighboring county,
and were within three or four miles
Of home. wiioo;n, they were attacked
by the Indians. MIR. DDoS, making
some resistance in defence Of his
family, was soon killed, and his wife
and her four children, one an infant,
ten months old, were carried off in
to captivity. According, as we are
told, to savage custom, they were
separated and tho youngest child,
being o found an incumbrance, we
suppose, was soon dispatched. Tho
others were taken up to the head
waters of the Arkansas, tho princi-
pal camping ground of the Kiowas,
where they were kept for about ten
weeks, enduring hardships and suf-
terings, the simple relation ofwhich
would draw tears from the driest
and coldest of humanity. We OBJ
served many scars on the face and
arms Of Miss Box, the result of the
beating with clubs, which was often
inflicted upon her by her savage
masters. The release ofthe victims
of this terrible captivity happened
in this manner: A party of Kiowas
went to Fort Dodge, in Kansas, on
a. trading expedition, They spoke
oftheir prisoners to woman Of
their tribe, who had married n white
man and was living at the Fort
She told her husband, who commu-
nicated the fact TO the Indian agent
there. He sent an officer, with
some men, who purchased the
captives and brought them to tho
Fort, from whence they were sent
by the government round by st.
Louis, New Orleans, and Lavaca, to
this place. Since their arrival they
have been very. Hospitality received
and entertained by Mr.. Olson, living
about three miles from the city,
whose benevolent wife accompanied
the young lady on her visit to His
Excellency. The mother, from the
barbarous treatment she received
and the fatigues Of her long journey,
is now lying PROSTATE on her sick
bed, and. fears are entertained of
her recovery. All the family wero
in great need of clothing, &c. We
need hardly add, that the Governor
has promptly provided for all their
wants, and that they will be sent to
their kindred and friends, from
whom they have now been separa-
ted for more than three months
We wish Gen. Sheridan could have
taken a look at the marks of the In
dian clubs, ON the fair face of the
interesting girl.-AuStin Gdsette.

A few days since man neatly
dressed in the ordinary garb of a
gentleman citizen came to our town,
and called upon one Of our NOR
chants, giving his namc us J. r.
Wilson, and purporting to be on
his way to Lebanon, Tennessee,
where he was goingrto settle up his
mothers business. He said he had
some wagons, which would be in
townin o few hours, as he had left
them only a short distance back on
the road, and that they were loaded
with cotton which he wished 10
consign to his care for sale or ship
ment, and wished to make arrange
ments with him, that if it became
necessary he might draft on him for
small amounts, from time to time
during his absence, which he said
would be rs short as his business
would allow Hls a. roL
Later in the day, nearly night, the
gentleman called again, and seemed
to be greatly concerned about his
wagons, but said he supposed they
had arrived too late to unload and
had camped a short distance out of
town, but would certainly be in ear
ly in the morning, when he would
deliver the cotton. Next morning
the train left carrying on 1.-THE gen.
tleman in question, but nothing has
been heard of the wagons or cotton.
II has been ascertained that this
is the same man who was employ
ed by Messrs. Sawyer, Risher &
Hall, to drive stage between Andcr-
son and Fairfield. 1t appears that
while he was on the route the idea
struck him to sell the stage and hor-
ses and cut out for parts unknown.

A Mad ParsOII.

We received yesterday rather
formidable looking package. which
we found to contain II copy of the
BULLETIN, which had bocn mailcd
to Rev. Mr.. Boynton, Chaplain Of
the House of Representatives. 1t
was endorsed with these unmistpk.
able words: ~.
"Mr, Boynton refuses to receive
your paper" "P. o. ii. r.
We are sorry for the reverend
gentleman. We have done our best
TO give him wholesome and good
counsel. We have ceusmcd his
political sermons (will the Telegraph
and News please tako.noticc that he
is a Radically. We have counseled
him to pray to the Lord and not at
him.. We have said that when he
made that abominable caricature Of
prayer for the death Of the Pres
ident of the United States he viola,
ted clerical deccncy, Well, we
have made him mad as a March
hare. He will visit us in anger, and
will pour out upon the BULLETIN
the vials of his clerical wrath. May
hap ne will pray that We speedily
kick the bucket. However, he is
mad at us. lie calls it righteous in
dignation, and refuses to receive the
BULLETIN He is not the first per-
verse child that refused to receive
good counsel. Like Ephriam, he is
welded to his idol. We are sorry
that the said idol is black. The sin
of worshiping a black idol is no
greater than that of worshiping Il
white one, albeit, it displays less
taste in the wickedness.
" Dean Swift once proposed II hos
pital for ihcurabIes, ;fs he called
that class that are so fixed in their
folly, that nothing can change them,
that can neither learn nor unlearn
anything. Of such is our clerical
friend, all counsel is vain to him.
Neither the revolving year. nor the
experience Of ages have any les s3ons
iIof such as ho. Planting himself on
abstraction, he ciings to it, no net.
ter how plain his fo ly may be to
others. He is incapable of seeing
any thing but that which he docs
see, and we commend to him that
text of scripture which says, che
that hardeneth his heart and stiff
enth his neck shall be cut off speed
lily, and that without remedy"
Everybody recollects the far-fi,m-
cd but eccentric Rev. Wm. Barnes,
whose sudden death u few months
ago created some sensation. Mr..
Barnes, or "Billy Barnes rs he
was familiarly called, at one Of his
revival meetings, after laboring
very hard and with very poor sue
cess, did not induce Il single ihqnir-
er to seek the mourner's bench. lie
was disgustcd with the spiritual
apathy of his audience, and mount
ing a bench, he exclaimed. 'if you
reject me, and reject all the sermons

tell the devil | sent him 4. drove of
hogs" We have no application to
make, but if Mr.. Boynton rejects
our monitions, we tremblc for his
fate. Gal. Bulletin. r.'1

The nomination Of Simon Came
ron for the United States Senate by
the Radical, members of the Penn.
sylvania Legislature is equivalent
to his election, This will be the
third time that this irrepressible in
dividual has attained this distinc-
tion, and the second time that he
has triumphed over the senatorial
aspirations of the Dead Duck. If
anything politically could be judg-
ed from his success, we should take
it as a strong indication of a conser-
vative drift among the Radicals of
Pennsylvania. Simon Cameron is
not Radical; he does not belong
to that class of men who can be /;
he is entirely too practical, too util-
itarian, too well supplied with strong
horse to be an honest member
of that party He simply uses it
as a cats-paw to scratch his chest
nuts out of the fire, and no doubt
heartily despises while he fatters
the fools upon whose backs he
climbs into greatness During his
whole career in the Senate, although
always elected by the Black Repub-
licans or Radicals. il would be diff
cult to find a single word uttered by
him in the interest of his party in
a purely party sense. What be de-
sires to get into the Senate for, is
that he may have awide and a
Splendid field for iog-rolling. In

a GOOD STORY
Mary Moore.

All my life long | had known Mary
Moore. All my life loved her.
Our mothers were old pIaymates
and first cousins. My first recollec-
tons are of a boy, in a red frock and
morocco shoes, rocking a cradle in
which reposed a sunny-haired, blue
eyed baby not quite year old. That
boy was mysclf-Harry Church; that
blessed baby was Mary Moore.
Later still, | see myself at the little
school house drawing my little chaise
up to the door that Mary might ride
home. Many q beating have | gained
on such occasions, for other boys be
sides me liked her, and she, fear, was
something Of flirt, even in her pima
fore. How elegantly she came trip
ping down the steps when | called her
name. How swectly her blue eyes
looked up at me. How gaily rang out
her merry laugh. No one but Mary
could ever bring her heart so soon to
her lips. | followed that laugh from
my days Of childhood till | grew an
awkward blushing YOUTH followed
it through the heated noon of manhood
and now, when the frosts of age are
my hair, and many children
climb upon my knee and call me
father | find that the memories Of
youth are strong, and that, even in
gray hairs, 1 am following the music
still.
When I was fifteen the first great
sorrow Of my life came upon my heart.
| was sent TO school, and was obliged
to part with Mary. We were not to
see each other for three long years.
This, to me, was like sentence of
Geath, for Mary was life itself to me.
But hearts are very tough things after
all.

self both in general and particular.

ments, and never thinking she might
dazzle and bewider me still more. |
was cox-comb, know; but as youth
and good looks have fed, | trust that
l may be believed when Isay that self
conceit has left me also.
An advantageous proposal was made
to me at that time, and accepting it, l
gave up all idea of profession and
prepared to go to India, In my hur-
ricd visit home of two days | saw
nothing of Mary Moore. She bad
gone to a boarding school at some dis
tance, and was not expected home un'
til the following May. l uttered one
sigh to the memory of my little blue
eyed playmate and then called myself

used to be, why, then perhaps L may
marry her.
And thus | settled the future of 6
young lady whom had not seen tol
four years. never thought OF the
possibility of her refusing me, never
dreamed that she would not condescenC
to accept my offer.
But now | know, that, had Mary
met me then, she would have despisec
me. Perhaps in the scented and atfec'

THROUGH THE GRAVE,

am drifting, slowly drifting,
With the changing waves Of time,
Every scene around me shifting,
And each moment more sublime,
As near the great eternal,
Passing on to the supernal
Through the grave.
On each shore are hidd n treasures,
Meath the waves rare jewels play;
Time bears on in rapid measures
to seek them may not stay;
For my home is the eternal,
And pass to the supernal
Through the grave.
Sometimes on the foamy biIlow,
Sometimes IN the sinking sand,
Weary head can find no pillow,
Weary feet can find no land;
But I'm nearer the eternal,
Passing on 10 the supernal
Through the grave.
Dark the clouds that float above me,
Fierce the winds that round me play;
Changing waves that ever mova me
Drifting-here / may not stay,
or see the great eternaI,
And press to the sUpernal
Through the grave.
Darker still the skies that cover,
Icy chill the winters now;
Angel wings above me hover,
Angels smooth the death pale brow.
Loi enter the eternal,
And pass to Joys supernal
Through the grave.
