Since the issue of the Presidents pro-
clamation, friends of the prominent Re
bcis yet absent from the country begin
to call q wanderers home. Mr.. John
q. Breckinridge, who has so long refused
to be ehtreated, is expected to return at
once. Ex-Secrctary Thompson, cX-Scna-
tor M"son, and SlIcri1an's Early are also
coming. Kentucky is thought TO be
pining for chance to send Mr.. Breckin-
ridge back to the Senate. Certainly he
would he the most fitting representative
OF h,r political position and hopes now,
al he was throughout the war.

GREECE AND TURKEY.-Sensational
dispatches have been going over the
wires for the last ton days in regand to
the posture of affairs in Eastern Europe.
The aspect is represented to be very war
like. Turkeys ultimatum that Turkish
vessels shall be permitted to overhaul
Greek vessels, to see whether they carry
supplies for the insurgents Of Crete, has
been rejected by Greece, aud both Tur-
key and Greece are preparing for war;
IIostilities have commenced, though war
has not been formally declared. Greece
is said to be earnest and ardent for tho
fray. The great powers-Russia, Eng
land, France aud Austria--look with
alarm at the warlike attitude assumed by
Greece and Tarkey, from the fact thai
such war is likely to involve genera
European war; hence, the great power
are unanimous and urgent ia eounsellin1
Greece and Turkey 10 come to terms
1t is not unlikely that these counseis viii
prevail, aud that compromise may b,
effected. The sensational dispatches
therefore. are sIibsidiug and giving place
to more paciSc ones. Indeed Greece

Gen. Geo. b. Mcclellan has received
the appointment OF President of the State
University of California. 1t is the only
Presidency no can ever hope to attain to.
Ex-rebel Vice President Alexander II.
Stephens, has been appointed to Pro-
fessorshp in Georgia College. The re-
bel g6neralissimo, Robert K. Lee is Off
eiating in the Presidency of a Virginia
college, and Mosby the rebel guerilla
chief has been appointed, we believe to a
Professors chair in the same institution,
and Forrest the Fort Pillow assassin, and
the rebel Pirate Semmes, have either been
appointed to, or are talked of tor Profes
sorships in Southern Colleges. 1t is plain
enough that the object is to train up an
other generation, in hostility to the con-
stitutional Government of the United
States. Whether such training will ri
pen into another rebellion time will show.
Our opinion is, that general rebellions
will not in the future be regarded as pay
ing institutions. To what pitch of 10y
atty and patriotism the teachings OF
president" Mcclellan may be likely to
raise our American youth, we leave our
readers to Judge for themselves.

QUAKER PERsEcUTIoN.-At dinner given
by the New England Society Of the d. c., on
the evening of the 22d ult, a letter was read
from John G. Whittier, the Quaker poet which
is eliciting some attention from the press and
public. The interest arises, of course, from
the allusion 10 the Puritans and Quakcrs of
New England, n theme that seldom fails TO
elicit earnest feeling Mr. Whittier says with
reference to the treatment of the Quakers by
the old Purtans:
"lf really believed as they did Uhe Puri-
tans), that the precise dogmas of my creed
were essential to salvation, and that the slight
est deviation from them meant nothing less
than eternal damnation, | might be tempted to
do as they did"
He also said that the charge of intolerance
could not now be urged against New England,
and related the following anccdote:
"a Southern planter, who visited Poston
lust before the attaCk on Fort Sumter, said to
me: thought you Yankees hated us ms badly
as we hate you, hut I'll be hanged if can see
| that you hate us at an )"
There is no part of the country, perhaps,
where the charge of intolerance, or religious
or political bigo,ry, could now be urged with
so little force as among the New England
States, and their sad and intelligent people.
In this connection, while illusions are
made to the early days of New England,
it may not be considered mal-appropo, to
give an extract from Hoddleys' Colonial
History Of Connecticut, treating of the
last trial for witchcratt, which it seems,
occurred, in Fairfield County Ct., our for
mer stamping ground. We think no
less of this familiar and favoritc region,
because it was the scene for clearing up
and ending this rather Questionable mode
of regulating the sanity Of mankind, &
which was, perhaps, moro attributable to
the darkness of the ago than to that peo-
pie or locality. "The court was held at
"Fayrcfeld," September 10, 1902, Gov
ernor Robert Treat presiding. Mercy
Disborough Of Compo, in Fairfield, good
ly Miller, goodwife, alias Elizabeth Claw
son, and Mrs. Staples, wero indicted for
familiarity with Satan. Volumnious tcs-
timony was introduced, including two
hundred dispositions. The water erdeal
was resorted to, as it had been in Hart
ford in 1862, and four witnesses swore
that Mercy Disborongh, being bound
hand and foot and thrown into tho water,
swan like n cork, though one laborcd to
put her down. Elizabeth Clawson also
hoated. The women Chwson, Miller and
Staples were acquitted; Mercy Disbor.
ough was found guilty by the jury, and
when they were sent out for second con
sidoration they returned with the same
verdict. The court approved and Gov
Treat passed sentence OF death upon her
An ingenious and weighty memorial
asking for pardon was presented to the
General Assembly, and probably II was
granted. II is at least concluded that
she escaped with hOr life, for no mention
lis made of her execution, and the Fair
field Probate Records show that one

IIoS. SCHUYLER CoLFAx ard lady ar
rived in Albany from Springfield, Mass.
(where he was the guest of the editor of
the Republican0 on Saturday evening
last. They became the guests OF Edward
Wade, who is relative of Mrs. Colfax.
On Sunday Mr.. Collax visited Troy, and
while there attended the First Baptist
Church, the pastor OF which, Rev. Dr.
Baldwin, is a relative, and between whom
an ardent attachment has existed from
youth. A very large audience assembled
in the church, in anticipation of the pres
ence OF the distinguished visitor. At the
conclusion of the sermon, DIR. Baldwin
introduced the Vicc-Presidcnt to the con-
gregation. The latter made a few re-
marks, stating that he had not intended
to address the congregation, but in de-
ference to the earnest request of Rev. DIR.
Baldwin, he had consented. lie gave
some appropriate advice to the young
men present, urging the importance of
walking in the fear Of God, and pursuing
II life of strict integrity under all circum-
stances. The speaker bore testimony to
the satisfaction and delight OF pursuing a
"Christian walk and conversation" and
eloquently referred to the necessity OF
proper religious instruction. Sunday
evening Mr.. Coltax called upon Govern
or FcBton and ex-senator Harris, and
subsequently was visited by a few gen
tlemcn Mt the house of Mr.. Wade. lie

ing as during the last winter'sterm. Besides
tie modifying effect Of defeat, the majority of
that body find themselves divided house

THE New York Tribune suggests that there
must be a considerable income tax due on the
eighty por cent stock dividend recently de-
clarcd by the Directors Of the Central Railroad
out of the alleged earnings Of the last year,
and calls upon the Supervisor of Internal
Revenue to inquire into the matter.
This amount being the alleged earnings of
last year, 1t will hardly escape the five per
cent income tax to be assessed soon after the
beginning of the year 1860. The question,
too, is an unsettled one, whether the process
of watering up old and the issuing of new
stock docs not, in all cases, properly come into
the same category, and add to the income of
the party to whom it is issued,
