GENERAL SHERIDAN.
A mild and amiable newspaper Of tn

a mild ara amsaple newspaper OF the
Coppc1head persuasion, in this city, re-
marks:
"of all the many men who deserted the Demo
ctatle party to cain. spuil and psefermcnt dur,re
AID after the vat, sheridan has m 1de tue worst
ough, to ehake him oU."
Gallant Little Phil" has never been
forgiven by the Copperhcads for the
slashiDg manner be charged On their
rebel friends and put them to rout. He
gave the friends Of the "Lost Cause" some
terrible blows and bruises. He adopted
the standing rule Of his country men, and
obcyed the dy ing injunction OF the Celtic
father: My son, whenever you see q
head, hit it," That was Pail Sher.dan's
plan Of treating rebellion wherever he
saw rebel head he not only Instantly
hit, but smashed it. He was tanauc.l on
some things. Like mos. Irishmcp, he
believed that the American Union WAS
the best government on which the sun
ever lhone; and he naturally regarded
these who sought to destroy 1t as the
worst enemies Of human liberty and
equal rights; consequently, he never
handled them with kid gloves, bu: struck
them with the mailed hand of warrior,
ard Glove them down. It was this rough
treatment Of his country's foes thst has
earned fer him the malignant aversion
ofimpotent Copperheads. and set their
s1anderous tongues to casting aspersions
| upon bis integrity.
The course Of the present display OF
venom is the pretty well authenticated
report from Washington that among the
| first acts Of General Grants adminis.ra-
lion will be to place General Sheridan in
command Of New Orleans. rice Buchanan
Every good Onion msn, South as well
as North, desires that General Grant shall
do this very thing, The outrsees OF las,

Chilian Horses.

A correspondent of the Tribune, writing
from Peru, says:
If any of our fair lady equestrian riders
in the Central Park would like to appear
at great advantage, they should send for
one of the elegant Gillian, or Peruvian
horses. They are broken so well that
they obey every word of the human voice,
and stand very quietly in front Of any
house, hotel OF garden, without ever
knowing how to be fastened to post.
Indeed, so proud are they, and so intelli-
gent, that they would feel humbled if
obliged to be hitched. Their gait is a
kind of pace, neither trot nor canter nor
gallop, and as easy as sitting In a rocking
chair. A whip is never used, and gentle
pressure on the neck guides them to eth
er right or left. They are such handsome
creatures, too, with such beautiful limbs,
such arching necks, soft, long, flowing
names, and clear eyes. 1t is positive
delight to ride them, and they curvet and
prance without being either vicious or
wild. They are the finest horses have
ever seen. Yet. as a general thing, they
are poorly fed and cared for, and as soon
as they lose their natural life and speed,
they are greatly abused.

The next spring she was moved to re-
turn to the bloody town Of Boston" Her
husband wrote beseechingly to Endicott
who indeed, was loath to condemn her,
and suggested to her the evasion of deny
ing her identity. But she would not
equivocate With wonderful heroism she
marched to her fate Even at the gallows
they delayed the and her life
was offered her again and again if she
would only promise to leave the iurisdic
ton Nay, cannot" was her constant
reply, " for in obedience to the will of
the Lord came, and in His Will abide
faithful to the death"
Still another victim to this direful en-
actment was William Leddra, who, after
repeated disturbances in Salem aud New
bury, and corresponding chastisements'
upon his third return in 1861, was brought
to trial and doomed to the gallows. He
was charged with contempt for author
tiles, and for saying thee and thou y
He took tender leave of his fellow-cap-
tives, and went to the gallows in a gentle
and sanity way. At the height of Leddra's
trial. Kenlock Christison, another of the
banished, suddenly strobe into the court,
and took his stand by the side of the pris-
oner, and confronted the judges with wild
and fearful words care you not the man
who was banished on pain of death ? y
demanded Endicott, in troubled voice.
-" Yea, am, was the deep toned reply.
What dost thou here, then ?" he asked
/" I come to warn you that you shed no
more innocent blood, for the blood that
Won have shed cries To tha lord God for
vengeance to come upon you"
Strange to say, notwithstanding the
audacity of his conduct, Christison escap-
ed condemnation, so that Leddra was the
last who suffered death for being Quaker
Indeed, there we're already signs that the
fury of the conflict was nearly spent, that
the wild tide of fanaticism had begun to
turn. For the chief men of Boston saw
with establishment and horror. that the
dreaded sect increased just in proportion
to the number and severity of the laws
against them. "The authorities" says
Mr.. Allen, "were wholly disarmed when
even the threat of death, instead of a wea.
pom to repel, proved magnet to draw
them"
And so it came about that the Quaker
conquered, for, though the court did not
repeal the death penalty, it enacted an
amendment. (which it knew we'll would
supercede its execution Even the milder
substitutes ofbranding and whipping were
abandoned. And at length the fanat-
les were left alone to practice to their
hearts content their favorite duty of ode
nouncing.''

during the season of production. Though
the oak-leaf is it's choice, it is not dainty.
1t eats and is happy with the leaves of
most declduous trees. All is grist that
comes to its mill. Wehave seen the silk of
this worm 1t is fine and very elastic.
Its natural color is pleasant gray: and
OF all silks it is the most retentive of its
color. The cunning of learned men of ia
pan have been exhausted without finding
a color that will stand against the first
application of water. This fine variety
can only be used at present where its net
ural color IS acceptable. No eoubt mer-
dants will be found which will fix artif-
cial colors and then oak-leaf silk, be-

The Great storm at the East

The Massachusetts,, Rhode Island and
Maine papers received last night contain
long accounts of the great wind and rain
storm which passed over those States on
Wednesday afternoon. 1t is estimated
that tho loss Ill Massachusetts alone will
amount to several millions of dollars A
dispatch from Portland, Me-, Septembel
9, says:
"The most serious incident of the storm
was tho prostitution of the tall spire of thu
now Catholic Cathedral on Cumberland
street. The building was dedicated wltb
great pornp yesterday. The spire, winch
was two hundred and twenty-siX and hall
feet highly far tho tallest III the city
fell directly across Cumberland street. The
house OF Captain Il. ID. OhoAte, No. lUJ
Cumberland street, was crushed in AMI
badly damaged, although not totally dc
molishod. The injury to the house aui
contents will probably amount to several
thousand dollars, and to the church about
$15,OGO."
The Boston Traveller, referring tO the
damage done in that city, says:
"ShOrtly before six O'Clock furious
gust of wind struck upon the orchestral
end of the COliceum, in which the great
musical festival was held. In q few min'
utos the large circular window, which IS
twenty feet in diameter, yielded to the
blast, and the wind getting inside, the
building quiverod like a reed.
"The whole orchestral end now crush
cd in, and the blast sweeping with resist
less fury to the other extremity, as speed
lily forced out the other end. In few
moments the whole edifce seemed to be
the sport of the clements and the wind
getting underneath the roof, lifted it of
piece by pieco until the whole of the tran
sept was entirely unroofed. The air wa
darkened with falling and flying timber'
which were tossed and blown about like
shavings. The crash was tremendous,
The organ was speedily leveled to the
ground and hurled in mass of timbeI'
Immense pieces of thereof were carried
considerable distances and fell on every
side"
