tFrom the Milan tMo.) Iisrail, May 2:.l
On last Tuesday evening, in the vicin
ity Of pennyville, in tho northeast part
Of this county, o number Of young ladies
and gentlemen had assembled at the neigh.
borhood school house for the purpose Of
rehearsiug dramas, dialogues, doclama.
tions, etc, preparatory for an exhibition,
soon to be given at that place. 1t seems
that several had already reached tho
school house, about Eve o'clock in the
evening, while others Of the society were
still coming in. Mr.. George Iut!cr, y
young man living in tho ncighborhood,
took his gun--an Enfield riAc-and
started to the school house, bis father
telling him before starting not to take his
gun (ho had no part in the exercises.
lIo wont on and just before arriving at
the school house ho came in company
with q young lady-by two roads RAINING
into one. Upon seeing the young lady
he playlully raised his gun and said.
"Look out, or III shoot you" She paid
no attention to him, and passed on to the
school house. lie followed up, and when
in q short distance Of the school house he
raised his gun and pointed at group Of
young folks standing in front Of the school
house, to frighten them and then went
up to where they were standing. lie
then pointed his gun ut several Of those
who were standing outside, all in fun,
went up to where this young lady, whom
hc had seen ut the forks of the road, was
sitting by the sido Of q young man by the

her again. Smart got up from his seat
and pushed tho gun to one side and 70,
marked that "such actions arc not very
agreeable" then stepped back to take his
scat by the side OF tho young lady. just
as he was in the act Of sitting down young
Butler swung his gun around, and by
some means it was discharged, the ball
entering just below the left nostril of Mr.
Smart's face; and just as he was falling
ho exclaimed, ooh, George I" aud "Ol
-" calling tho young lady by name
and fell ut her feet and expired. Instant
ly all was excitement and confusion in
the room at the horrible tragedy that had
just been enacted.
Young Butler threw his gun into Q

the door and fed to the woods, Up t.

Extraordinary lIeroiSm OF a BOY.

The Rev. II. J. Beck, the Bishop Of
New .foundland's Commissary, relates nm
heroic incident furnished him for that
colony:
A poor boy, whose namo no ono knows,
but we may hope it is recorded in the
Book of Life, found three little children
who like himself had been washed ashore
from one Of the many wrecks, wandering
along that dreary coast in the driving
sleet. They were crying bitterly, having
bcen parted from their parents, aud not
knowing whether they were drowned or
saved, tho poor lad took thom, to u shel.
tered spot, plucked moss for them and
made them rudo bu. soft bed, aud then
taking of his own coat, to cover them,
set by them all night long soothing their
terror until they fell asleep. In sthc
morning, leaving them still sleeping, he
went in search Of the parents, aud to his
great joy found them looking for the
children, whom they had given up for
dead. lie directed them where to find
them, and then went on himself to try to
find somo place Of shelter aud refresh.
ment. But when the parents were 70.
turning with their recovered little ones,
they found their prcscrver lying quite
dead upon tho snow not far from where
they parted with him. The long expos.
ure in his exhausted state was too much
for his little strength, and having saved
his little ohsrge--a stranger to them as
they to him-he lay down and died.

Tho Issue Fairly Made upon the Cur
reHCys

The Chicago Convention, goth ult.,
committed General Grant and the Rcpub-
lican party against tho payment Of the
public debt in "grcenbacks." They did
moro. They committed themselves aud
their candidates to the payment Of the
whole Of tho public debt-principal and
interest 10 gold. What tao bondholders
paid forty cents for, the Convention
guarantee shall be refunded with one
hundred and forty cents, besides more
than that amount in the way Of interest,
1t is gold for the bOndholders aud green
backs for tho people Gold for the rich
Wall street broker, aud greenbacks for
the farmer; Gold for the banker who rides
in his splendid coach and four, aud green.
backs for the mechanic who plods life's
weary way on foot, with his honest wife
and little ones trudging BY his side.
The Convention also resolved that taxes
ought to be reduced, but also resolved to
maintain all tho machinery which con.
sumes taxes thereby making . reduction
of taxation impossible.
A stsndiud army, negro bureaus swarms
Of tax.gathors, high protective tariffs are
to be kept up, thus consuming the sub
stance Of the people. The payment Of
the National debt in gold at time far il

Of interest on that debt.

that the officers elected, shall not enter
upon the duties Of their Office, until No.

shall not assemble until the Constitution
adopted by the Convention, aud ratified

correct view Of matters. Upon authority
Of the Reconstruction acts, and by its ex.
press provisions, Louisiana ID not yet o

contrary to the expectations aud ardent

ses are smpty, and whose promises to pay
were based OH calculations OF official emol.

Treasury. Against those paupers, Gen.
Buchanan bars the doors and tells them
to stand outside until November next.

and the platform adopted at Chicago, is
another step in that fatal march after q
"Ncw Nation" already strcwed with half
u million Of corpses, and which when
reached, chaos begins, and national ruin
is complete. Thirty years ago, when
Garrison first opposed amalgamation with
negroes, the instinct Of self.preseryation
prompted the people to destroy tho impi.
Gus and filthy gang that followed his lead,
but they wers restrained by tho police,
and the result was the election Of Abra.
ham Lincoln in 1860, pledged to his fol.
lowers to carry out Garrison's beastial
"idea." True, it was disguised--tho peo.
pie did not understand it, thought they
were voting against tho Democratic party,
but the election Of Lincoln was simply
and exactly tho triumph Of amalgamat,on
in the States south Of tho potomac. Lo.
gal amalgamation with the negro element
in the North was mere abstraction, and
though, as tho census shows, fatal as far
as it went, in the South it is social death,
obscene, revolving and accursod beyond
expression or human computation. The
Southern leaders, therefore, sought to Oh.
tain pledges from Lincoln to administer
tho government in accord with the Con.
stitution, south of $3.50 at ell events, and
Virginia especially struggled desperately
to save herself from tho awful future that
overshadowed her, but all in vain the
lunatics and traitors that had cotton pos.
session Of tho government determined to
use it to accomplish their mission, and
amalgamate four millions Of . foroign and
subordinate race in the citizenship Of
America.
But when the Mongrels saw that the
Southern people would resist their afro.
cious desisns. they affected to give up Or
hold in abeysnce these designs, and called
upon the North for troops to put down
Southern resistance, and save the Union,
forsooth THAT very Union from which
the necessity of things, they were pledged
to destroy forever. But % sson ~ they
got vast armies in the field, and the coun.
try committed to the war, Lincoln threw
of the mask, and from that hour until
now they have steadily marched in pur.
suit Of their mission-the degradation OF
twenty-five millions Of Americans into. q
common citizenship with four millions Of
negroes. Of course it can only be done
by military force, and therefore they keep
an army 10 tho South TO keep down eight
millions Of FREQ born Americans, while
their agents, the carpet. baggers and seal.
lawagers, having robbed their masters oi
their negroes, use them a. voting machines
