Let the Cotton States, or any six or more
States, say, unequivocally, eve want to
get out of the Uniop," and propose to eff
feet their end peaceably and inoffensively,
and we will do our best to help them out
not that we want them to go, but that we
loathe the idea of compelling them to stay.

If every "seven or eight States" send
agents to Washington to say, We want
to so out of the Union," we shall feel con-
strained, by our devotion to human liberty
to say, Let them 90! And we do not see
how we could take the other side without
coming in direct conflict with those rights
of man which we hold paramount to all
political arrangements, however convent
ent and advantageous.-Horace Greeley.

tie now Government, &c, &c. We do


tute now Government, &c, &c. We do
heartily accept this doctrine, believing it
intrinsically sound, beneficent, and one
that, universally accepted, is calculated to
prevent the shedding Of seas of human blood.
And if it justified the secession from the
British Empire Of three millions of Colon
lists in 1776, we do not see why it would
not Justify the secession of five millions Of
Southrons from the Federal Union in 1861.
We cannot see how
twenty millions of people can rightfully
hold ten, or even five, in detested union
with them, by military force. If seven or
eight contiguous States shall present them
selves authenticity at Washington, saying
"We hate the Federal Union! we have
withdrawn from it! we give you the choice
between acquiescing in our secession and
arraigning amicably all incidental questions
on the one hand, and attempting to SUBJ
due us ON the other we could not stand
up for coercion, for subjugation, for we do
not think it would be just.-Horace Gree

A SAD accident occurred at Peyton's mill
on Wednesday. An employee named Hof-
man, slipped in some way, bringing his hand
in contact with an edging saw, almost sew
erng four fingers from the hand. Two OF
them in fact hung by the skin, while the
other two were SO cut as to expose the joint.
The amputation was not completed, but the
fingers were adjusted and dressed, as it is
hoped they can be saved The injured man
is the same one who so narrowly escaped
death at the bursting of the tiywheel in the
same mill few weeks ago.

TIE fellows who engage in the lubberly
sport oftearing down bridge ratings, fences

as well understand first as last, that the
people of Superior will not stand it. They
will mark the offenders, the sheriff will ar
rest them, and the justices will make them
pay handsomely for the fan, or let them
spend a few weeks in Jail. The thing is
going to be stopped short, sure as lightning.

SUNDAY was exceedingly and oppressive
ly hot, especially in the afternoon The
thermometer was up in the ninetes, the sky
was heated brass, the sun beat down with
fearful power; and an idea could not cross
the mind without starting the perspiTation.
This state of things continued till near sup
per time, when a great storm of wind and
rain, that had been slowly gathering in the
west during halfthe afternoon, burst in fury
on the town and bay. No material damage
was done, but the way the windows ratified,

morning in small boat, which they had
hired in Duluth last week, pieces of which

in the late storms, the boat swamped and

The Wife of WashingtOn's Overseer.

This we find in the Richmond Dispatch: !:
On Marshall street, in humble resi-
dence, lives lady now nearly one hun
dred years old, the representative of a
past age and of the "better days of the
Republic" We allude to tho widow of
the late Richard Young, for many years
the surveyor of this city. Mrs. Young
was led from the marriage altar to the
home of her young husband, who was
then the overseer of General Washington
on his Mount Vernon estate, and he in
the flush of his manhood.
Mr.. Young was raised blacksmith,
but left his trade to take charge of the
farm on Mount Vernon. In the latter
capacity he developed considerable taste
for and knowledge OF mathematics, and
after the death of General Washington
he procured the situation of deputy un-
der Mr.. John Williamson, the surveyor
of Henrico county and the city of Rich
mond. About the year 1905, the city
was authorized by act of the Legislature
to employ surveyor for itself, and Mr..
Young was chosen to fill the position.
He held the office until his death, and
was succeeded by the late Micajah Bates,
who also was removed by death. Mr..
Young has long since been gathered to
his fathers, and there are probably but
few who remember him; but evidences
of his skill in engineering and accuracy
in measurement are still visible on every
hand,

Soldiers HOmeSteadS.

The recent amendment to the Homestead
Act, under which the veterans of our late
Army and Navy can secure free homesteads of
160 acres near the line of the great land grant
railroads, by one or two years. residence, in
stead of five, is very naturally attracting much
attention among the soldiers and sailors.
Colonies are forming in many parts OF the
of the new law, while at the same time reap
ing all the advantages of moving West in or
ganized communities.
The construction of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, now completed through Minnesota,
has opened to settlers large body of the
best land in the West. This Company offers
very important facilities and advantages to
soldiers and others seeking Western homes,
whether they intend to settle on Government
homesteads or purchase the Compauy's land.
Its announcement is published elsewhere in
this journal.

that this famous renovating and regulating

parts unwonted vigor to the digestive func-
tions; regulates the flow of bile soothes
the nervous system; promotes healthful
sleep; and tends 10 produce that condition
of body and brain, which is supposed to be
most conducive to longevity and the enjoy
ment of life. Its specific effects in acute and
chronic disorders affecting the muscles and
the lungs, aye considered by competent
judges the most extraordinary medical phen-
omenon Of the age. Vinegar Bitters has now
larger sale than any of the spirituous asrin-
gents, and its immense popularity in land
where tae people observe closely, test thor
oughly, and act independently. is in itself a
sufficient guarantee of the excellence of the
medicine. We recommend it to all.

THE POWER OF Mus1e.-A Scottish
piper was once passing through deep
forest. In the evening he sat down to
take his supper. He had hardly begun,
when number of hungry wolves,
prowling about for food, collected around
him. In self-defen6e, the poor man be-
gan to throw pieces of his victuals to
them, which they greedily devoured.
When he had disposed of all, in fit of
despair he took his pipes and began to
play. The unusual sound terrified the
wolves, which, one and all, took to their
heels, and scampered off in every direc-
ton. On observing which, Sandy qui-
etly remarked, can I'd fenned ye liket

THE GETTYSBURG KATALYsINE SPRING
Such is the name bestowed upon a medicinal
spring which appears on the battlefield at
Gettysburg, which is winning q fame as world
wide as that of the great battle fought around
it. The story of its discovery by the wounded
in the battle is the projection OF one ofthe an
cient fables into our modern history. Almost
equally fabulous are some of its cures. Even
the medical journals admit that it is not only
a remedy for the worst forms, but for nearly
every variety of our chronic diseases. Its
waters are being carried to every part of the
world, for they neither lose their taste or med
icinal virtue by bottling or exposure TO the

the worst ever saw. With both hind
legs tied together che would kick back
wards like horse then, in addition,
one fore-leg was tied up, and she would
stand on the other and kick with both
hind ones, as soon as an attempt was
made to milk her, till she tumbled down !,
then would get up and kick again until
tired out; so the milk was generally
left on the stable floor, and it was de-

as possible, though an extra cow.
