stand on the crater of living volcano, as a
State, where whites and blacks being nearly
equal in number, the whites are prescribed and
blacks made rulers Such government can
not long have the heartfelt sympathy of any
large body of men anywhere Blood is thicker
than water, and Northern whites will sympa-
thize with Southern whites in their struggle to
shake off the incubus OF negro rule. If there
were no prejudice of race to affect their action,
the Northern people would still refuse to re-
produce, in ten States of the Union, Hayti or
San Domingo, or. any other government and
civilization which the negro race has established
since the food. TO punish the Southern whites
for their treason, the Northern people might
possibly for time be willing to affiict them

"A, Most Strange Chapter.
+ From the La Crosse Democra

From the La Crosse Democrat.] e
A correspondent writes us from Waterloo,
Iowa, askingif we know Of one Edgar Burn
ham, and OF his history: -
We do. And as it is a strange, true one,
known to hundreds, We give it in the Demo-
crat as it is, that we may correct some errors
Eight years since, when we were engaged as
city editor of Milwaukee paper, there lived
in this State an editor named Powell, now
connected with a Chicago paper, We think
He is, unless he has quit it lately.
In 1862, Powell was married to Miss Ellen
Burnham, of Broadhead, Wisconsin, after a
courtshlp Of some months. Miss Burnham' 8
parents were old residents of Broadhead, and
of high responsibility. The daughter taught
music, had large; number OF pupils, and was
very attractive. Powell lived with her as a
husband two years, she being all that time a
good wife in all respects, presenting him with
but one child. 80 ..5
At the expiration of two years, when about
twenty one years of age, Mrs. PoWell's voice
changed, she grew light whiskers, and gradual
ly changed her sex, developing into a man, in
all respects, as it nature, anxious for freak,
had turned portion of herself wrong side out.
The husband and wife separated when the
Vile became man, ana MIS- EileQg IOWeu
took the name of Edgar Burnham, donned
male attire, sought and obtained employment
as clerk in Chicago, and lived young man
for one year.
During this time he fell in love with niece
of Senator Morgan, of New York, but did not
marry her, for reasons not pertinent to this
article. But about the end of the year he did
marry lady Of Broadhead, Wisconsin, Miss
Gerta Everett, who was music pupil of his
when he was Miss Ellen Burnham, over
three years previous to the marriage. This
second marriage was about two years ago.
Soon after this marriage Edgar" Burnham
and wife removed to Waterloo, Iowa, where
they now reside, or did not long since.
The former girl is now man, the former
wife is now, husband, the former mother is
now father, the former young lady teacher is
now that young lady's husband Truth is, in
deed, stranger than fiction, and the above sim
pie statement of facts border so upon the mar
yelous, we could not believe it did we not per-
sonally know all the parties
Any one can be convinced, by writing to the
parties in either Of the places We have named,
of the full and entire truth of this most won
derful transformation, which puzzles not only
the medical but the entire scientific world, and
which appears now for the first time in print,
though the particulars have long been known
to US and to many other newspaper men and
prominent citizens Of this State, as to nearly
all the citizens of Broadhead, where the parties
so long resided. ~ (!D aas
