MARES MISTAKE, A WoMAS's HISTORY
BY Creole"

MARES MISTAKE, A WoMAS's HISTORY !:
BY Creole
An extremely well printed volume, with
the above title, has been laid upon our ta-
bic. The tale has for it's foundation the
chief pabulum of romance-love, and the
plot turns upon the mistakes of a young,
inexperienced girl, who is betrayed into a
rash marriage with an unprincipled adven-
turer. The natural consequence follows, a
life of sorrow. the yicissitudes of which ter
inmate in the seclusion of house of re-
ligion and the assumption of the monastic
VOWS and. garb. The interest of the story
is maintained throughout, and the plot has
this to recommend it, that the de,OueDtent
can not, as in the majority OF romances,
be guessed at after the perusal of a
few pages at the commencement. The fair
authoress is evidently experienced in planta-
ton life. and her delineatiOns of the planta-
ton darkey of the old regime are ludicrously
truthful, while they do full justice TO the
mtaught sense of duty to GOD and man, the
clinging to right under all adverse circum-
stances. the kindly heart anxious to repay
a thousand fold the least benefit received,
that distinguished in so many cases the de-
pressed man and brother. The work hardly
bears the impress of professional writer,
but, perhaps the interest in it is all the
more felt on account of the disregard TO the
conventionalities of the pen so persistently
evinced throughout.
Altogether. '.Maries Mistake" is work
that will bear more than one reading. 1t is
disposed of only to subscribers by the au-
thoress, Miss A. NJ. c. Massena.

ORLEANS
A MILITARY REUNION.
Butler Praises Massachusetts.

NAHANr, August 1.-The Eighth Massa-
chusetts Regiment, which was one Of the
first regiments responding to the call for
troops at the breaking out of the late war,
held it's annual reunion here to-day. Cen
eral Butler, who led the corp through Balti-
more and Annapolis to Washington, and
Major Ben Perley Poore, who was also with
the regiment, were present and made ad-
dresses. After dinner Major Poore gave a
historical account of the military affairs in
Essex county during the past two centuries,
and General Butler gave some fresh and in
teresting sketches about the war and the
causes which led to the unfortunate clash OF
arms.
He said that when he left the famous
Charleston convention in 1860, he was iln-
pressed with the idea that there would be a
war if the Democratic party was not recon-
structed meeting Of the leaders OF the
party was called in Washington about
Christmas, for the purpose of pouring oil
upon the troubled waters, and he was pres
ent just previous to this, however, South
Carolina had declared in favor OF secession,
and her representatives were then in Wash
ington with the ordinance, to present it to
Mr.. Buchanan, and as they would listen to
nothing but an independent government,
the troubles in the Democratic ranks were
not adjusted.
1HeN we're 10 nave IL COuleuerdCy OF tne
Southern and Western States, with
only Connecticut from New England,
and New York city was to be
the capital. The war was to have COM
menccd when Mr.. Lincoln was inaugurated.
Mr. Butler told the Southerners there and
then that the North would resist, and he
would fight them for one, and in his march
through the South would have every. traitor
hanging to a tree. He came back at once
and went to Governor Andrew and told
him his firm belief in coming war. He
advised him to have the militia equipped
at once and ready for any emergency.
He was ridiculed by the Democratic and
the Republican press, but Governor Andrew
went to work in earnest, and thus it was
that the Massachusetts troops saved the
capital and the country. He believed if
there had been half the activity and fore
sight in Charleston, when Sumter fell. the
rebels could have taken Washington and
thus given to the war different history,
but not different result. He. declared re-
peatedly, that in view of these and other
facts to which he alluded, the Massachusetts
men were the salvation Of the country, and
to them more than to any others, the
people are indebted for its existence today.

DEATH OF ANsoE BURLINGAME, MINISTER TO
CHINA.-The papers of Thursday bring US the
sad intelligence of the death of Arson RurlIn-
game, our Minister to China. This is sad news
indeed. He expired at st. Petersburg on the
morning of 22d instant, after brief illness of
four days.
This distinguished patriot and statesman has
had career of success and usefulness rarely
shared by any one in so short period. Only
forty-eight after having laid the foundation of
his education at Michigan University and finish
ed it at Harvard, taking his degrees of NJ. A. &
B. L., be served in the State Senate of Massa-
chusetts, was elected member of her constitu-
tional convention in 1853 was elected to a seat
in the thirty-fourth thirty-ffth and thirty-sixth
Congresses. He was appointed by President
Lincoln as Minister to Austria and subsequently
10 China. His services in the litter capacit,
have been of inealculable benefit to our Repub-
lie, to China and to the world.
He became practical Ohinaman to all intents
and purposes. Initiated into all the secrets of
the Chinese mysteries, he became competent to
interpret to them the meaning, bearing, useful
ness and ultimate result of the significant treaty
between that government and ours AS the Sc
quence of this, the Chinese entered into the ex-
ecution of the treaty, approaching in letter and
in spirit, the benefcent result that must sooner
or later flow from its adoption, and shower its
blessings upon the future of benighed China.
A polished scholar, an attractive speaker, an
ardent Republican and thorough patriot he
has gone to his reward, leaving sorrowing peo-
pie to mourn his too early departure

A GREAT NATIONAL NAVY YARD AT NORFOLK -
'fhe Norfolk Day Book refers TO a plan now I'M
der consideration before the Committee of Naval
Affairs of the House of Representatives for the
abandonment of the Brooklyn navy yard and
the sale of the Government interests in it. The
people Of Brooklyn are anxious to be rid of it,
and the Government is greatly incommoded by
the:insuflicency of the grounds. The representa-
tive Of the Brooklyn District, General Slocum)
appeared before the committee and recommended
the sale of the navy yard property. He urged
that the ground occupied by it is of immense
value to commerce, aud almost indispensable to
growing trade. 1t is thought the property will
be sold anG will bring AT least twenty millions
of dollars In view of this contemplated sale,
the Day Boohsuggests that the proceeds should
be applied to the establishment of such navy
yard at Norfolk as the public service requires. 1t
says that land can be bought very cheap, and
"that with respect to material, manufacturing
facilities, weather, and every other element of
"the calculation" there is no comparison be-
tween Norfolk aud brooklyn. The Legislature
is appealed to exert its influence in behalf of
Norfolk. The Day Book says:
ain selecting the Norfolk navy yard for the
great arm of naval defence, it should not be lost
sight of that Virginia has mountains of iron in
her SOIL of the very best kind in the world
almost, and is now building railroads TO bring
this iron into use This is an iron age truly.
where national marine defence is involved and
here we have the two prime considerations, of
the best harbor and an ample supply of iron TO
eucsse the naval vessels Of war Of navy ten
times as large as ours ever need be"

Terrible Disaster.

The Baltimore american of oath instant, gives
a fearful account of the snaging, burning and
sinking of the steamer Emma, No. 8, on the
Mississippi river, on Saturday morning, 18th
instant The boat was bound from New Or
leans tc Cincinnati, laden with groceries and
pigiron. Leaving Memphis where she had taken
on board four hundred bales of cotton, shestruck
a snag while passing the chute of Island No. So,
about fifty miles from Memphis. Every effort
to back her off of the snag, to stop the leaks or
to get her ashore proved utterly fruitless.
1t was decided to send the ladies and male pas
sengers ashore in the yawl, when she suddenly Ca
reened upset the stoves and set fire to the boat in
several places. Under the intense excitement of
the moment, while the yawl, filled with the la
dies and as many passengers as was deemed pru-
dent to put in it, rush was made, the yawl
filled beyond its capacity, and turned bottom
upward, drowning all the ladies, many passen-
ers and the clerk and pilot, who where to con-
duct them to the shore Those left, seized bales
of cotton, doors, planks or any thing promising
any safety whatever, and attempted to make the
shore, most of whom reached it in safety, though
some died of cold and exposure after making
land. She burned finally, and sinking, extin-
guished the fire, when the captain and several
others, who had been protected behind some
barrels of scrap iron, succeeded in reaching the
Wheel from which they we're taken by boats

WnSLi.a0fO3a,S Birth Dan.
We clip the following from the Baltimol
or ood ;netont.

We clip the following from the balumore
american of 29d instant:
yesterday, for the first time in the history Of
Baltimore, was the birthday of the immortal
Washington properly observed in Baltimore
The observance did not partake OF a Fourth OF
July holiday, marked with explosives and dis
charge of cannons and guns, but in quiet sem
sible-like manner As general thing business
was suspended, and at no time yesterday was
there seen on Baltimore street half dozen vehi-
cles except street cars. 1t seemed as il the entire
community had seconded the act of Legislature
making the day legal holiday, and abstained
from work. During the morning the principal
streets were crowded with ladies and children,
and to great extent was the custom of making
calls INDUCED in by the male portion of the COM
munity.'
1t is certainly gratifying to know that toe
memory OF the illustrious 'father OF his country
has not been forgotten amid the clash of arms
and heated conflict of ideas, that have kept Ma
ryland society in constant fermentation pro-
cess since the Inauguration of Abraham Lincoln
as President OF the American Republic.
Fitting attestation of the appreciation in which
the remembrance OF good man, sound States
man and great benefactor is held by those who
enjoy the fruits of his labor and the results of his
patriotic actions.
Fitting conduct in the citizens of the Monu-
mental city on the one hundred and thirty
eighth anniversary of the birth day of him, who
surrendered his power that his country might
enjoy free institutions for generations coming
after him.
Fitting observance of the memory of him
whose expansive views and liberal ideas are in
fuller, freer operation Eow than ever before,
since the nation has had existence. Let his en-
dearing name gather lustre as time rolls on

by the committee on territory, TO reorganize the
government of Utah territory. Mr.. Cullum of
Illinois, the chairman of the committee, made a
speech, urging immediate action, showing that
delay furnished no security. He took the ground
that the Mormon outrages would not cease I'M

nation, claiming to be christian, should for an
hour tolerate such wholesale disregard of that
institution of society that is essentially the foun-

checked and arrested will, sooner or later, bring
upon the people permitting it, degeneracy, social
weakness, anarchy and ruin.
