GENERAL ISRAEL PUTNAM.

The following story is told, we know not
upon how good authority, Of youthful
| exploit Of General Israel Putnam:
Putnams early days were spent as those
OF most boys placed in his situation in life
One OF his faVorite amusements was bird
nesting" The hunts for the nest were fol
lowed in company, and Putnam was al
ways the leader.
On one occasion he and his companions
came across fine nest, which lodged on a
fine branch Of very high tree. There
was no way of reaching the nest except
by climbing (Which was very difficulty, and
Venturing out on the branch, which, nine
chances to Que, would break under the
weight of the robber. No one would ven.

in silence for some moments, and at last

miles around that can get that nest.
All agreed with him.

of mis- jacket and rolling his pantaloons up
to his knees. His companions tried to
dissuade him, but to no purpose. Go he
would.
@I1l fancy that one OF the Kings strong
holds" said Putnam, "and may be blessed
if don't take it,"
The tree was ascended-the limb gained.
Putnam placed his foot upon it, and it
cracked. He ventured foot further the
limb bent low, and warning murfnur rose
from the boys below-and Putnam perse-
yered. His fingers touched the wished for
prize, and just as be cried "Ive got it, the
limb broke clear off, and he fell-but not
to the ground. His pantaloons caught on
one of the lower limbs, and his head hung
downward.
"Put, are you hurt' asked one of the
boys.
mot hurt,o Answered the undaunted
heart, "but serely puzzled how 10 get
down.
'We can't cut away the limb, because
we have got no knife.'
~ can't stay here till you get one"
"We,l strike Light and burn the tree

CAY, and smother me in the smoke. That

There was boy named Randall in the
group, who was noted for being a crack
marksman, and who afterward fought
bravely by Putnam's side. Him Putnam
addressed;

At Democratic ratification meeting in
Savannah, Georgia, the rebel General Law
ton said there was nothing that the South
wanted that was not in the New York plat,
form. Peace has its victories as well as
war, and those great principles for which
the South fought, and feared were lost,
might yet be achieved through the ballot
box. The Hon. II. r. Jackson said he had
never rebelled against the great principles
OF the Democracy. In their defense the
blood Of the Southern people had flowed
freely. They had never, never, never
abandoned them. The banner which they

A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun say
Immigration,

The New York Journal of Commerce COM
ments at some length upon the fact that tide
of white igration-chiefy Germans-is
quietly setting in towards the South The COM
pany of immigrants who passed through Wash
ington on the 18th ult., on their way South, are
said to be the pioneers of over ten thousand who
are enrolled and expecting to leave various Ger

Virginia, In consequence of its climate and it's
accessibility by various routes, will probably
JOY the benefit of the new movement sooner than
any of her Southern sisters. But the plantations
of the Caroiinas and the Gulf tier and of the
Mississippi valley are not neglected by commits
sioners prospecting" from abroad. German and
English agents are now travelling through the
Southern States, making contracts for the pur-
chase and lease of lands. We may soon look
for the experiment of white people trying to
raise cotton, sugar, rice and tobacco, unaided by
negro labor. unless the colored people manifest
disposition to turn the curse of Cain into a
blessing, in common with the whites.
The Swiss Emigrant Society has an agent now
in Virginia looking up lands. This society has
some thousand of members, and it is said that
the agents report will be favorable. The Hol-
landers-several hundred f,mies of them-have
also man on the ground, and will sail for Vir-
gnia this spring if his report is encouraging.
Besides the foreign agriculturists who are look

Brain, formerly of the Confederate Navy who
was taken prisoner during the late war on the
Chesapeake Bay, and sent to the penitentiary of
New York, where he is still confined. He says
that his health is becoming undermined from
long confinement in convict prison; that his
family is in extreme poverty from his imprison-
ment, and that he is sadly in want of money for
legal expenses and for his family.
1t is to be hoped that Lieut.. Brain may obtain
justice; for the Constitution secures to every
man speedy and impartial trial by jury. His
case appeals strongly to the sympathy of all, and
we trust that efforts will be made to alleviate his
suferines while in prison. and to secure his
