A Scrap Of History.

We reprint the following scrap Of his.
tory from the New York World Of the
18th inst.
On the 9th Of October, 1864, Colonel
North, Levi Cohn aud Marvin NJ. Jones
Of this State, were arrested and COM
mitted to the Old Capitol Prison on q
charge Of defrauding soldiers Of their
votes" They were con6Hed closely and
subjected 10 treatment such as the
Neapolitan Bourbons were shown, by
Mr.. Gladstone, to have inflicted upon
Poerio and bis friends and companions.
On the 9th Of January, 1865, after trial
of forty days before a military commits
sion, they we're oil thee of them def.
nitely acquitted During the trial one
of the prisoners was sent for by Presi-
dent Lincoln, and examined at the
White House by him, in the presence Of
the Assistant Secretary Of War, formerly
assistant editor Of the Tribune, the
Judge. Advocate, and the keeper Of the
prison II is certain, therefore, that
President Lincoln took such an interest
in the case as must have made him anx-
ious to know its result
On the 26th Of January, 1865, Col.
North, having been kept in prison, with
the completely Of President Lincoln, for
hcenty days after President Lincoln
knew that he had been acquitted, was
discharged. He was furnished with an
official statement Of his acquittal, which
was accompanied by declaration from
the Secretary of War that his companions
in his confinement, Messrs, Cohn aud
Jones, had been found guilty and sem
fenced to imprisonment for life" Two
weeks afterwards, these two persons also
were released, but without any official
statement either of their conviction or OF
their acquittal, or of their pardon after
conviction.
Two years have gone by, and we now
have the official publication of the fact
chat on the 9th day of January, 1865, not
only Colonel North, but Levi Cohn and
Marvin NJ Jones also were found not
guilty, and formally acquitted of the
charges made against them, by the
Military Commission before which
they had been tried.
In the face of these facts, where are
we to look for a more fragrant abuse of
power than was prsctioed by the late
President Lincoln in the case of these
three men; or for q course of official
misconduct more plainly calling for the
impeachment Of the -perpetrator; or for
a contempt of justice and of humanity
more clearly worthy of the reprobation
of all honest men.

The Letters of Junius.

Mr.. Thurlow Weed contributes the fol
lowing to the New York Times
In 1862 the late Mr.. Joseph Pafkes, (
gentleman of large and various informa
ton, informed me that he had been fol
several years devoting his intervals o
exemption from official duties las Tal
Commissioner to a Life of Sir PhiliI
Francis, and that his researches woulC
result in disapproving the confident as
sertion of Junius, in one of his private
I'letters to Woodfall, that he was the
sole depository of his own secret, anC
that it would die with him"
The subject was one which had inter
ested me much at period when " Ju'
MUS wss read more generally and with
greater interest than exists now. The
question as to who "Junius was, en-
gagged the attention of authors and edi'
tors. | had, forty years ago, entered with
much zeal inte that controversy. Find
ing me thus sympathetic and familiar
with the subject, Mr.. ParkeG invited me
to his apartments at Staple Inn, Holburn,
and submitted his manuscripts to my
perusal. There passed many charmed
hours. The material for his work were
not only ample, but conclusive. They
established beyond doubt, or a cavil,
or peradventure, that Sir Philip Fran :
els was the author of the Letters of Ju-
MUS.
Twice during these readings, in com
pany with Mr. Parkes, visited the then
venerable and since departed John Tay-
lor. author of "Junius Identified" " first
published nearly fifty years ago. Mr..
Taylor had intended 10 avail himself of
subsequent and cumulative evidence,
but on account of his advanced age had
cheerfully committed the whole question
to Mr.. Parkes. These breakfast con-
versations with Mr.. Taylor were exceed.
ingly interesting. His bachelor life, like
that of Charles Lamb, was solaced by an
aged maiden sister He had formerly
known most of the literary celebrities of
the last years of the past and the first
years of the present centary, and gave
us pleasant recollectons of their per-
sonal characters and habits
Only a few weeks before the sudden
death of Mr. Parkes, heinformed me that
he expected to get his life OF Sir Phillip
Francis to press the ensuing autumn,
and, in pursuance with a previous un-
derstanding, l was to arrange for its
republication here. Since his death |
have heard nothing further about it.
The researches had all been accom-
plished, and the work had progressed so
far toward its completion that 10 diff
Guilty existed, nor was any such delay
necessary l had expected and hoped
that Miss Bessie Parkes, the gifted daugh-
ter of my old and cherished friend (al-
ready distinguished and disciplined
writer), would complete and publish the
unfinished work Of her honored father--a
work on which he had bestowed years of
toll and to the publication of which he
looked forward with confidence, in an
appreolative and approving popular
sense ofits value for bis reward.

Salvation when Least Expected.

When Gen. Bragg retreated from
Kentucky, a bushwhacker, claiming the
rank of captain in the Federal army,
was captured with sixteen of bis men.
They we're hung as guerrlllas. The
Federals determined to retaliate by
hanging an equal number of Conleder.
ateA of like rank,
We happened to be OF the rank OF
captain at the time the affair happened,
and to be prisoner at Louisville.
There we're but three other captains ia
prison with us. We were Informed
about sunset one day that one captain
and sixteen men of us would be drawn
out the next morning by lot and hung in
retaliation. The prospect for us indi-
vidualiy was gloomy one-only one
chance in four for our neck.
At the same time there was standing
order permitting any Confederate who
might take the oath of allegiance to the
Union to walk out Of prison seott-free,
The chance for an ignominiops death
was appalling. The mode of escape
was easy, but disgraoetuL In such a
strait what was the duty Of aSouthern
man to his cause and his comrades 7
Simply TO trust to luck and stare fate in
the face-not to walk ANONYMOUSLY
through the open gate.
Not a man in that prison wavered.
At sunlight next morning courier came
that a Confederate captain
and sixteen men had already been hung
in retaliation at Harrodsburg.
We give this incident Of the war for
no oihsr reason than to show that there
are occasions when men should face the
EXTREMIST dangers without tiinehing, and
that fortune sometimes preserves US as
individuals and as people, when We least
expect salvation. M0atgomeTy Nail

TURDAY EVENING. MARCH %. 1867.
Death and sleep.

Translated from the German Of Won Krumma-
cher.
The Angel Of Death and the Angel Of
Sleep, linked in brotherly embrace,
wandered over the earth. II was even
ing, and they laid themselves down on a
hill, whence they thoughtfully surveyed
the dwellings Of man. A holy quiet
prevailed, and the last toll Of the even
ing bell had sounded from the neighbor-
ing village. Still and silent as their
wont, sat both the benifcent spirits in a
friendly embrace, when the beautiful
night drew on. Then raising himself
from his messy couch, the Angel Of
Sleep scattered with light hand the in
visible grains Of slumber, which the
evening breeze waited to the still abodes
Of the weary husbandmen. Sweet sleep
steals over the inhabitants of the cot
tages, over the old man who leans upon
his staff, and over the young child in his
cradle. The sick forget their pain, the
mourning their sorrows, the poor their
cares All eyes are closed But now,
his employment ended, the benevolent
Angel Of Sleep turned toward his more
serious brother.
When the morning light appears"
cried he, with incessant joy, men will
give thanks to me as a friend and bene-
factor. Oh, what joy to bestow good in
secret and unknown2 How happy are
we, the invisible messengers of the Good
Spirit ?" So spake the friendly Angel
of Sleep.
The Angel of Death answered with
quiet sadness, while tears, such as the
immortals weep, stood in his large dark
eyes. "Ah," said he, would that l,
too, might receive those joyful thanks
The world calls me its enemy and the
destroyer of its gladness. At my APP
preach the mother holds her babe to her
bosom, aud frsntically curses the power
that robs her of the treasure of her life. "
Nay, my brother" replies the Angel
of Sleep. "Will not the good at their
awakening acknowledge thee as their
friend and benefactor, and gratefully
bless thee2 Are we not brothers and the
messenger of one father p
Thus he spake and the eyes of the
Angel of Death cleaned more brightly
as he tenderly embraced his brother
spirit.

Passage of the supplemental Reconstruc-
ton Bill.


WASHINGTON, March l9.-The Supple
mental Reconstruction. bill. finally passed
both Houses late this afternoon and will
be laid before the President tomorrow.
The disagreement between the two
Houses related to the mode of ratifying
the constitution of the reconstructed
States. 1t was settled by requiring it to
be ratified by majority of the registered
votes of the qualified electors cast at the
election on adopting the constitution,
with at least one-half of all registered
voters voting upon the question. Con-
gress is then given the power to be sat
isfed that there is a full and free cleo
ton, and that no voter is intimidated
from going to the polls.
Thsd. Stevens this afternoon, deliv-
cred his expected speech upon the Con-
fscation bill offered by him.
The bill forfeits all the public lands
belonging to the ten Confederate States,
and calls for the condemnation of such
property belonging to the belligerent
enemy as is deemed forfeited by the act
of the 18th of July, 1852 Out of the
lands thus conGscated, those slaves who
have been liberated by the operations of
war are allotted homesteads. Out
of the balance of properly
sufficient sum shall be raised
for the erection of homestead buildings,
and the further sum of $50O,OO0O00 of
the amount shall be appropriated for an
income for pensioners by the war,'and to
pay damages done to loyal citizens by
the Confederates. The property of no
one shall be seized whose whole estate on
the 4th day of March, 1865, was not worth
more than $4,000, unless he shall have
voluntarily become an officer or employe
of the Confederate Government, and in
enforcing confscations the value Of
$4,000 shall be left to the delinquent
Mr. Stevens commenced to read his
speech from printed slips in low tone
of voice, and evidently with much physi.
cal difficulty. After reading few min
utes he was compelled by weakness to
ask the Clerk of the House to continue
the reading. The speech was listened
to with marked attention, and on its con-
clusion the bill, at Mr.. Stevens request,
was postponed until next December,

Large Eyes.

Large eyes have always been admired
especially in women, and may be con-
sidered essential to the highest order OF
beauty, in almost every description oi
which, from Helen of Troy to any
modera heroine, they hold prominent
place. We read Of large spiritual
eyes" and eyes loving large" and OF
"little sparkling, lady eyes, to which
the epithets spiritual and " loving
are rever applied. An Arab expresses
his idea of the beauty Of woman by
saying that she has the eye of ia ga2elle,
This IS the burthen of his song. The
timidity, gentleness, and innocent fear
in the eve of the deer tribe are COM
pared with the modesty OF the young
girl: Let her be as. the loving hind
and the pleasant roe. Persons With
large eyes give US the impression OF
being wide awake and ready for ac-
ton, while small eyed people have more
generally sleepy look " and q slug
gish temperament or habit Of body.
DR.. Redfeld observes that persons
with large eyes have very lively emo
tions, think very rapidly, and speak last,
unless there be a pred0minanee OF the
phlegmetic temperament OF persons
with small eyes the reverse is true. The
former are quick and spontaneous in
their feelings and in the expression Of
them, aud sre therefore simple, lika the
Scotch, Swiss, and al who iDhabit noun
famous regions. The latter are slow and
calculating, aud therefore artful like the
ripsies, a people who generally iuhabit
level countries. There is Q connection
between sciiYiiy and the ascending and
descending decliFi;ies, a fact which we
evince in running up and down stairs,
aad which an active horse exhibits when
he comes 70 a hill; and hence the Scotch
Hizhiandcrs, az vel as the sheep, goat
chamois, etc, have very large eyes and
great activity.
