The Truth about Barbara Fritchie.

The Hartford Courant, of Aug, 4, pub
fishes the following letter,
FREDERICK CRY, Nd, July %, 1869.
GENERAL In accordance with a
promise made you on Tuesday, l take
the pen to write few lines about Whit
tiers heroine.
Barbara Fritchie, (not Frietchie) was
the widow of John G. Fritchie deceased.
She died during the winter of 1923 and
was buried in the graveyard belonging
to the German Reformed Church of Fred
erick. She was an honest, faithful Chris
tan woman, and an ardent lover of her
country. During the passage of the reb-
ell army through this place, in Septem-
Der, 1862, she kept small flag in one of
her windows. Her intolerance of the
rebels was so extreme that she is said to
have used her cane with great briskness
in clearing her porch from number OF
them during the occupancy of Frederick.

complimentary while thus engaged
when our own troops entered, on Friday

less and commanding scenery, new beau
ties feast your eyes at every hour.
Here is the Bridal Veil, a creek 20
feet wide, falling over its rocky wall 900
feet at single leap, dissipated first into
lace-like strands, and then into feecy
mist by the descent. Here is the Yose-
mite Fall, the highest in the world, at
two leaps falling twenty-six hundred
feet, fifteen times higher than Niagara,
the eye firing as it looks almost straight
upward to where it comes rushing over
the precipice into view. Here are the
falls by which the Merced River tumbles
from the higher ground behind those
mighty walls of the valley into the val
ley itself-at one fall, the Nevada leap
ing from the top of a perpendicular
cliff full 700 feet, and then, after dash
ing on rapidly over smooth and round
ed granite bed, into which the water has
literally worn its channel, leaping down
ward again at the Vernal Fall $50 feet,
with that rare phenomenon, a circular
rainbow at its base.
Though no mule or horse can reach
these most fascinating of all the wonders
of the valley, and the trail is rugged and
difficult, and wearisome on foot, and lad
ders nearly 5000 feet high are needed to
scale the perpendicular walls of rock over
which, by your side, the river thunders
at its second plunge, fatigue and danger
are forgotten in these awe-aspiring and
startlingly sublime works of the Creator
around you. The long journey from the
east is more than repaid by such combi-
nations of austere and exquisite scenery
as l looked on with mingled admiration
and surprise in the Valley of the Yo-
semitic

evening before the battle of South Noun
tain, Reno is said to have been so struck
with her enthusiastic waving of the flag
at the window, that he asked her age
and called upon his men to give three
cheers for the loyal grandmother"
Although most of Lees army passed
by her house, it is asserted--and proba-
bly, with truth--that jackson himself
did not pass directly by the same, but
through an alley which crosses the street,
obliquely, at short distance west of it.
Whittier has evidently taken as a fit
nucleus for an exquisite poetic ideal this
brave, honest old patriot, who certainly
kept her flag up when others pulled theirs
down, who SO disliked traitors to her
country that she couldn't tolerate them
on her porch, and whose enthusiasm and
venerable appearance provoked one of
our brave officers to call upon his men
to cheer her.
l believe the foregoing paragraphs
contain the facts upon which Whittier
has framed the poem which has linked
Barbara Fritchie's name in immortal
verse.
Her house has passed into the hands
of the Corporation of Frederick City,
and has since been removed so as to wild
en- the bed of Carol Creek, which wash
ed its walls, with the view of providing
against recurrence of disastrous food
such as visited the place last summer.
The cane sent you was made from one
of the oak timbers of the house.
Inclosed you will find portraits of the
old lady and the famous house. I also
send copy of diary kept during the
rebel occupation of the place in 1862,
which will acquaint you with some of the
incidents connected Herewith. With
great respect, your obedient servant,

The current of air extinguished the

his retreat in the same way that he had

Barberry's clock had been bewitched

some, and especially Joe Mayweed, af-
fected to discredit the whole affair, hint

experiment of tasting frozen cider, and
that the vagaries Of the clock case ex-
listed only in distempered imagination.

Paddy, attending q " Broad-rim con-

tonished at the manner of worship.
Having been told that they " spake even
as they were moved by the spirit" he
watched the proceedings with increasing
disgust for their "haythen way of war
ship" till one young Quaker arose and
commenced solemnly:
Brethren, l have just married."
"The devil ye have" interrupted Pat.
The Quaker sat down in confusion,
but the spirit moving Pat no further, the
young man mustered courage and broke
out again.

CAPTURE OF WHALES.

Annually at this season of the year,
the great leviathan of the mighty deep,
the mammoth whale, in considerable
numbers, visits the coast OF North Car
DINA, and whale fishing becomes at once
a source OF profit and sport to those who
engage in the pursuit and capture of the
unwieldy monster. At no place III the
State is the sport SO exciting and remu-
nerating as at Beaufort ha, Dor and the
immediate vicinity. ...-~
About two weeks ago the inhabitants
of Shackleford Banks espied the pioneer
whale of the season, and made prepare
tions for his capture. They were highly
successful in their efforts, and soon had
the satisfaction of witnessing the dying
throes of the monster on the beach near
Cape Lookout. The fish was quite large,
measu, ung forty teet in length, and
when tried out was found to yield 800
gallons of pure oil, and more than 400
pounds of whalebone. The proceeds
were quite sum of money.-Newbern

From the Raleigh Standard.

We would call the attention of our
people to the fact, that until they begin
to manufacture in large quantities the
raw material of their own State, they
can never build up their cities by the
sea or commence an exporting trade
Look at En gland, France, Germany and
the New England States. They export
what they manufacture. There the fac
tory makes the town of mechanics, the
mechanics make the merchants, and .ths
mechanics and merchants relieve the
farmers of the products of the soil. II
is to the interest of our farmers and our
legislators to foster mechanic arts in
in North Carolina, both in the west and
east. Boston, New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore are backed up by thou
sands of manufactures. Seldom in the
world is city made by nature as New
Orleans, Saint Louis, San Francisco, or
Chicago. Norfolk might have been, and
will yet be, the rival of either of them.
Prior to the Revolution she was the first
city of the Colonies, Behold her now.
The people Of New England began to
farm and manufacture. Behold their
cities. We need more life in our midst.

papers indicate that similar course will
be pursued in other sections.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEGROES.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEGROES.
: Mr.. Thurlow Weed has been spend
ing the winter at Aiken South Carolina,
where he owns some property, we be-
lievs. Since his return to the North,
he has published the following in his
paper, the New York Commercial:
Of the population of South Carolina,
10000 are colored and 800 900 white.
The ratio is changing fast. Emigration
helps and SO does the death rate. A
Times correspondent says that the NOR
tuary reports in Charleston for the year
1868 exhibit the fact that out of pop
lation Of about 10000 in that city
about half white and half black-there
have died 1908 persons of these 81s
were colored, and 800 white. That is,
more than two negroes to one white died
last year in Charleston. More exactly it
is, that one negro in every twenty-four
dies annually while in the same time
only one in every fifty-one whites dies.
The vote Of the State is about one in
sever that is, about 100000 votes in
all. Of these 10000 are negroes, and
100000 whites-the majority of negroes
being 10000. The black race is crowd
ing toward the coast, leaving the upper
and middle country. This gives the
mountain counties alreadyfa majority Of
white votes; and this majority must in
crease on that side Of the State. At the
next election in 1870, it is very proba-
BILE that the whites will have majority
in the State Senate, which consists Of
one from each county.

are large deposits Of sulphur in that

is the reason why Parson Brownlow Sc

that asst may, we hope it is the inten-

During the debate on the educational
bill in the Bavarian Chambers, Prime
Minister Hokenloke made remarkable
speech. After protesting against the
entrance of any party feeling whatever
into the consideration of questions con-
corning the church, he proceeded to
stigmatise the Encyclical letter of the
Pope as contrary to the spirit of the age,
and as one of the causes of difference
between the Church and the State.
