A cotemporary says, there is man in
West Virginia who has just lately heard of
the war. He lives twenty miles from any
human habitation, aud has not paid taxes
for years. He is contented to live with
his wife, ignorant even of the affairs of his
country, and spends his days hunting and
fishing. He said he had understood few
years ago that there was little fuss about
something, but did not suppose it had
amounted to anything.
Happy man he was, unhappy he is to
be. He viii soon come to wish he had
staid out hunting and fishing. If he has
any substance he will soon learn a new
tune about taxes-one with endless varia-
tions He will discover that the ''little
fuss, amounts to great deal. He will
see that Virginia-the grand old mother
State-has been crucifed for her faith to
the constitution, and her raiment divided
among the spoilers, that George Washing
ton, of whom he had doubtless heard, was
failure, and that his counsels have be-
come by-word and mockery among his
countrymen; that it is now fashionable to
believe that when Thomas Jefferson, an
other Virginian of some parts and renOwn,
wrote that 'all men were created equal, -
he means that his most ignorant negro
was his equal, mortally and morally, and
should have equal, civil and political
rights with himself that the constitution
which James Madison, yet another Virgin
ian, participated in preparing, has been
pronounced a collection of obsolete ideas
usuited to this era. and been rolled up
and laid away be will find that in Virgin
ia, as elsewhere, as a rule, men of eminent
talents and virtues are excluded from pub
lie stations, and such places filed with
knaves and ninoompoops he win find the
good overshadowed and Obscured by the
bad he will learn that the attempt to ad-
minister this government upon ''the great

Terrible Catastrophe

The Richmond papers of Saturday give
the particulars of an explosion in one Of
the Glover Hill coal mines, near that city,
by which thirty white men and thirty
nine negroes lost their lives. The explo-
sion was occasioned by the accumulation
of gasin the mine. Those whose business
it was to see the mine properly venti-
lated had neglected the matter, and this
sad catastrophe was the consequence. =
Many of the laborcrs were. poor, some of
whom had large families dependent upon
them for support. The scene at the pit,
when it was ascertained that all the labor
ers at work at the time of the explosion
had been killed, was hcartrendng and Gre

dan age that few do live" and enjoyed she priv
iege of seeing great grand children. Yet, when
her appointed time came she removed from
this present life, and, with all her predecessors,
went to her ..long home" She was worthy and
yirtuous associate of our female society a regular
member OF the Evangelical Lutheran church, and
and temporal life, was conmendabe and exem-
tian resignation and patience and manifested
true and living Faith in her Redeemer, whom she
had so zealousy endeavored to serve, for many
years. And in her last dying hour she was heard

DETAIL FOR THE BOARD.
Another Clerical Rascal.

Z. The disagreeable duty of exposing the
rascality of another renegade preacher,
says the Keokuk Qowa) Constitution, is
again imposed on us as a journalist. Rev.
j. Petty, who resided in this county, on
String Prairie, about twelve miles from
this city and who has been lately holding
revival meeting at which, we learn,
many converts were made, and who were
to be baptized next Sabbath, provided all
things had gone along smoothly. But,
on Wednesday last, the Reverend Pastor
of the String Prairie flock took it into
his head to run off with one of the she
lambs-a Mrs. Freeman, married sister
who left behind her husband and three
children. The Reverend Petty had a
wife also and five children. whom he has
left in destitute circumstances.
This Petty, like his apostate brother,
Ballinger, is a ranting member Of the
God-and-humanity party, and wanted all
Democrats to be hanged who refused to
vote the Radical ticket and to acknowl-
edge his miscegenatlon preaching as pure
Gospel.

Important Injunction Against The
President.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-In the SUI
preme Court to-day, Judge Sharkey gave
notice Of q motion for preliminary in
junction against Andrew johnson, Presi-
dent, and General Ord, commander of the
military district comprising Mississippi. 1t
is stated the injunction is founded on a
bill III equity. The bill he proposed to
file was brought by the State of Mississip-
pi, as complainant against the parties
named, to enjoin them from executing the
acts of Congress recently passed, called
the Military bill and Supplemental bill.
Attorney General Stanbery suggested
that, as it was a case involving the origi-
nal jurisdiction of the court, the motion in
the first place should be for leave to file a
BILL
Judge Sharkey acquiesced, and said the
counsel for Mississippi would now file the
bill and were ready to argue it.
The Attorney General said he contend
ed the bill in so far as it purported to
make the president party defendant, was
in effect suit against the United States,
and he would, therefore, object to leave
being given by the court to file the bill,
and he further stated that he also was
ready now to GO into an argument of the
motion.
The Chief Justice, after consultation.
stated that the motion for leave to file the
bill might be made and put on the motion
docket; but, in conformity with the rule
of the court, would not be heard until the
next regular motion day.
This motion will, therefore, come up on
Friday next

Connecticut Elections.

The recent elections in Connecticut for
Governor and other State officers, Congress
men, and members Of the Legislature, re-
suited rather disastrously to the radical
cause. English, the Conservative candi-
date, beats his radical opponent for Cover
nor go votes, and the result for other
State officers was about the same Three
Conservatives and one radical have been
elected to Congress. The radicals have a
majority in the Legislature. While the
result of these elections will be, practically.
Of no immediate benefit to the South, they
strongly indicate a relaxation on the part
of the people of that section of the harsh
feeling toward US. : 1t is a Reputation of
the confscation scheme of such men as
Stevens and Butler and an endorsement
of the late action of Congress as an ulti-
matum, so far as the North is concerned.
A few more such blows will break the
back hone of the radical party, and cause
it to pause in its mad course.
