He accepted the trust. When she atta;n-

that time she shared the fatigues and the dan

the army of the Loire. The better to perform
this labor of love she assumed the dress of an
aid-de-camp. AT the battle of Waterloo She
hastily jumped into the wagon of the Generals,
where her mother happened to be; saved her
by presenting one of the pistols she carried at
the officer of ordnance, and threatening to blow
out his brains if persisted in traitorous inten-

The n. Y. Evening Gazette says: "Since
the close of the war nearly all the broken down
boarding schools in the vicinity of New York
have been changed into military schools. The
result is that young prigs of cadets are every
where to be seen. The main ambition of the
schools seem to be to deck out the boys in
brass and stripes and feathers. All of which
must be very pleasant to soldiers of the regular
army, whose uniforms are initiated with great
exactness."

speecb of n Negro Soldier.


TIE night before Christmas the negroes in
Augusta Ca, met to consider the question Of
emisrating to land offered by the Government
in Florida, Texas, Alabama and Mississippi.
The Bureau agent explained the matter, and
some one suggested that they should send an
agent to Waghington to urge universal am
nesty and suffrage. Whereupon an ex-sol-
der, colored, said:
Brethren: have seen the lands the Gov
eriment offers you; they are not as good as
you'd like to have, but you'd better go and
take them. Some Of you say, what, 60 an

work for them, half the time? Can you get

r OliticaI Tests in Navy Yards.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IL, 1867
The Secretary of the Navy, in compliance
with instructions, has sent to the Senate a
port covering all orders issued relative to the
employment of men in the Norfolk. navy yard
since the close of the war. There are some
thing like sixteen hundred pages of manuscript.
Much of the matter is of no general interest OF
consequence, but portion thereofis of signifi-
canoe as showing how the Secretary manages
the navy yards for political purposes. 1t ap-
pears that some time in the latter part of last
September an order was issued by the Chief of
the Bureau OF Yards and Docks, by direction of
the Secretary, to inquire into the political sta
tus of workmen in the yard. Among the doc
uments submitted is a letter dated Sept. "a, at
Norfolk, addressed to the Chief of the Bureau
of Yards and Docks, in which he says
I'm compliance with your orders the investi-
cations have been continued. l sent for Naval
Constructor Hanscom, Chief Engineer Newell
and Civil Engineer Worrell and asked for the
results of their inquiries. Mr.. Newell states
that his foreman of machinists, James FL.
Clements, went to the September Convention
as a delegate accompanied by pattern maker
James w. Brownley, and have directed these
men to be suspended and await the orders of
the bureau"
This precious document, showing that men
were dismissed for attending the convention OF
Southern loyalists, is endorsed by Joseph
Smith, Chiefofthe Bureau of Y ards and Docks,
as follOws:-"This bureau does not consider the
going to the Convention as delegate as a cause
for dismissal" 1t also bears the following in
dorsement by the Secretary of the Navy him
self:-"The character and doings of the conven-
ton at Philadelphia could have been attended
only for partisan purposes, hostile to the adj
ministration." The papers do not contain the
formal dismissal of these two men, but their
fate is evident enough from the Secretary's in
dorsement.
The spirit of Mr.. Welles is further apparent
from letter sent by him on the goth Of Octo-
Der, 1885, to Admiral Bowen, relative to the
employment of temporary hands i'll the yard
He gives him authority to employ those in
whose loyalty he has confidence, without re-
gard to their past course, and in order that his
meaning may be clear-in order that the admir-
al may understand that supporters of Congress
are not to be employed, and are put on the same
footing as original rebels,-he adds
ut has not been the policy OF this department
to give cOuntenance or encouragement to dis
unionists of any description Those whose op-
pose the government in its efforts to establish
national unity, whether claiming that States
have the right to voluntarily withdraw from
the Union by secession, or striving by arbitrary
and illegal power to exclude States from the
Union, and deprive them of their guaranteed
constitutional rights, are not deemed worthy
OF service. "-Dispatch to the Boston Advertiser.

IMPEACBMENT.-An exchange thinks the

OF the President are men like Mr.. w. n. Ea-

to say that if Congress dared to go on with the
matter, "a million of democrats would rise in
arms and rally to the defence of the President"
Let it be once understood that resort to
process expressly authorized by the Constitu-
ton is to be resisted by force or is to be him
dered by threats of force, and Congress will
find it not only e1pedient but necessary to put
the machinery in motion, in which case Mr..
Eaton or anybody else who gets in the way
will be very likely to be ground up.
