Printers,

Printing ink begets cynic,.sn, as
dampness does rheumatism, or foul
air fevers. There is no escaping it.
Men in printing offices, whether they
prepare or set copy, contract the dis
ease and suffer from it more or less,
as their mental system responds to
resists it. They are behind the
scene. They know that 'the golden
crowns and goblets the public ad-
mires are only pasteboard that the
glittering jewels are only colored
glass; that the crimson glory of the
tableaux is but a flash of red fire;
that the mouthing fellow who is Law
ish of his dukedOms is in arrears for
his morning cocktail, Life is un-
idealized to them from the outset.
1t is stripped of its illusions, and
fine names are but echoes of empti-
uess. Why expect them to admire
Why ask them to be amhitiousi
Why look for enthusiasm in themf
The printer understands how repu-
tations are made, He knows that
they are not blown forth from the
trump of fame, but from the trump
of him who seeks reputation by per
forming solo, and gets it thereby.
He is aware that, while genius
starves, impudence fattens; that
while wisdom hides in garret, flip
pancy draws on the pave that while
inspiration pines, management
flushes with health. He sees that
the eloquent language Of the states
man or artist is not in the states
mans or artists own head that
honors are easy to the man that has
the etfrontery to ask, and the deter
mination not to be denied. No mar
vel he believes all achievements I'M
worthy, all success ii cheat, all per
sons of eminence those who have not
Iyet been found out. Pdckdfo*

THE CONFEDERATE DEAD AT ARLINGTON

A little narrow bed of earth
Holds now their PROSTATE forms.
Lost 10 the lard that gave them birth.
And deaf to her alarms.
Their folded hands can Join no strife,
Their hearts can feel no hate;
Sure soldiers brave and true in life
Deserve a soldiers fate.
How bootless is a warfare made
On mute and helpless men;
Who never more can grasp a blade.
Or strike one blow again.
The women Of their people love
Their deeds in battle done.
Dear memories Of those who strove,
And whose short race is run.
Now, by their cod. pathetic dust,
They crave to come and weep.
And emblems bring of love and trust,
To beautify their sleep.
Gods blessings come to all alike,
For all his flowers bloom
Shall it be left for man to strike
The garland from the tombl

Cubnu Expeditions.

1t is stated that the United States
Marshal at New York, has been Informed
within the past three days that there
are no fewer than three separate fill
buster expeditions fitting out at that
port, and that if he does not look sharp,
every one of them will be at sea before
he is aware of it. The parties oommu-
nicatiug the information are in the
Spanish interest, and in the absence of
facts from less disintereSted sources, the
Marshal is not certain that it is within
the strict line of his duty to proceed
against the parties, who are alleged to
be thus aiding and abctting the insur-
gent cause. At all events, he prefers,
before acting, to wait a few days to see
if the approximations of the Spaniards
have al, real justification.

TPnupZspc Politics,

We learn by last evenings mail that
the Gubernatorial canvass in Tennessee
was opened on Saturday, at Nashville.
A mass meeting was addressed by
STOKES and SENTER. The former an
nounced that on the franchise question
he stood by his record. lie had never
been in favor of universal suffrage, was
not now, and never would be. STOKES
continued his harangue with wild states
ments to the effect that when the killing
of Union men ceased, the Ku Klux dis
banded, and the laws were observed, he
would be willing to entertain a propo.
stion to admit the disfranchised gradu-
ally to the ballot-box. SENTER came
out square for immediate enfranchse-
ment. The proposed compromise in
favor of HORACE MAYNARD has failed,
SENTER refusing to consent.

The survey corps on the Mouongahela
road reached West Brownsville on the

gahela RepublicaH, referring to the pro-
Jeoted Southern road from Pittsburgh
to Newberne, Virginia, says:
ITO show its feasibility, take an or

Greenbriar Mountain, a distance of FIVE
miles more will strike the Greeubrier
river; following il TO its junction with
the New river, the same distance TO

of two hundred and seventy-hve Or
three hundred miles, not across noun
tains, but following the channels of ma

one as rich in minerals, as productive IN
agriculture, aud as thickly overspread
with lumber as any now open TO com

will pay, you have but to name the
main towns, already of consid-
erable size, such as Monongahela
City, Brownsville, Morgantown, Fair
mont, Grafton, Phillip. Beverly, Hun
tersville, Lewisburg and Newburne.
Many of these places are directly de

In looking over the american 1gricul-
tIwist, June number, my attention was
arrested by two words on page 2C5, to-
wit working Bulls" l have hereto
fore given this very subject considers bic
thought and reflection, and often won
dered why our farmers who have so
much heavy hauling of logs, timber,
rocks, &c, on their farms, and who
necessarily keep one bull for the use of
stock do not keep pair well broken to
the yoke for working purposes also.
There is not a doubt in the world that
bulls kindly, steadily and constantly
worked are as good, if not better,
propagators of their species than those
not worked. Such being the fact, the
great saving of team labor on the farm
is manifest to all. By keeping one
animal of the sort you get but one kind
of service the year round; by keeping
tw, you get in addition most valua-
ble team for all sorts of heavy drudgery,
even stiff ploughing, together with the
saving of cost and keeping Of a pair of
oxen or horses; and besides | believe
the offspring are less vicious by partak-
ing of the docility of the sire. Bulls, it
is true, are often vicious and dan
gerous, but in order to make them dOcile
and useful it is all-impOrtant that they
should be handled and broken to the yoke
young and so completely subiugated that
they can be yOked and driven anywhere
to light sled during their first winter
and before they are a year old, and from
that out kept at light and useful work.
How many citizens of Clarksburg re-
member an animal of the kind kept
many years ago by the late MI. Josiah
Adams which, in company with an OK,
patiently performed the team labor of
his large farm, besides hauling many
Thousand bushels of coal to market, and
yet during that time propagated some
of as good stock, perhaps, as we had.
Who that has visited the steam
boat yard at Wheeling, has not been
surprised at the sagacity and dOcility
of that one lone bull, who quietly and
patiently performs the labor Of a pair of
horses worth three hundred dollars. 1t
is true have no very exalted opinion of
the intelligence of the bull, yet | do
maintain that habit and thorough sub
iugdtion renders him not only a very re-
spectacle but a highly useful animal,
and by this combined use, would add
many thousand dollars value 10 the MA
terial interest of not only Harrison, but
every county in the State.

is an abstract of the proceedings
Resolutions were adopted that beer
should be taxed, not as luxury, but
on the same plan as neccessaries OF life;
and that brewers should be relieved
from arbitrary seizures by Ignorant ofi-
cials: that the tariff on Canada barley
should be reduced, and the tax on malt
repealed; that their manufacture pro-
notes true temperance; and that they
will use all honorable means to deprive
puritanical temperance men OF political
power. Henry Claussen was reelected

JAIL BREAKING! !!
THE PRISONERS MUTINY.
Eleven Desperadoes Escape.
They Will Fight to the Death.

Ispeoial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
COLUMBUS, June 6, 1869.
This morning, at half-past six o'clock,
Geo. Fl. Earhart, Sherif's deputy, who
has charge Of our county jail, unlocked
the deor and went in TO look after the
prisoners. He unlocked the door OF one
of them, who seized young Earhart as
soon as the door was opened; another
prisoner at once came to the assistance
of the first, and between them they
bound the jsiler's hands and feet,
and tied pillow over his face so that
he could make no outcry, and then
threw him into one of the cells; first,
however, securing the keys of the other
cells. These two prisoners then
unlocked the doors of the cells
that were occupied, and let all the
prisoners out into the space or hall that
surrounds the cells, and finding the
coast clear, eleven ont of sthe fifteen
then assembled and departed for parts
unknown; four declined to avail them
selves of the opportunity to escape.
The eleven separated, and got out of the
city in several squads, but are under.
stoed to have come together again, and
it is thought are prepared to fight to
death against recapture. Officers have
been in pursuit of them all day, and
they have been traced in southeasterly
direction from the city. Some of them
are desperate characters.
The following ten of the escaped are
indicted for burglary: William Fox,
Alexander Dabbs. William Neely, Will
liam Waterman, Joseph Harris, William
Howe, Eugene Marsh, Abe Heade, Frank
Mcpherson and Thomas Jackson, col
ored. The eleventh prisoner who es-
capped is q black man, Indicted for muir
det in the fist degree, named Reidrick
BJweu.
The following are the four prisoners
who refused to leave the Jail: George
Tone, indicted for burglary; James
Carnes, indicted for highway robbery
Richard Hills, indicted for cutting with
intent to kill; William Keyers, indicted
for grand larceny, hog stealing. This,
believe, is the most extensive Jail deliv-
cry that has ever taken place in Frank
lin county.
