Charles Sumner had no truer mourncrs
than were found within the city's line
To-day, every voice heard in public would
speak about Mr.. Sumner, or not Speaking
about him would seem empty and hollow.
In speaking Of Mr.. Sumner he would speak

and instructed him. If he spoke only on
slavery he was called a man of but one
idea if he went beyond it he was called a
denagogue. So passed the early years of
Charles Summers life. Then came the as
SALT by Preston Brooks. The Charleston
MTcu1y said: "Mr. Brooks acted with eX-
cclent judgment. llencetorth Charles
Sumner is dead to all the poltroons." To
day all who were not poltroons acknowl.
edged that no part of Charles Sumner was
dead except his body. Mr.. Higginson
spoke of Summers magnificent physique.
In his youth he was an athlete. He was

but twice; by Samuel Adams in the revo-
luton, and by William Lloyd Garrison in
our day. But when it came to the quant-

when people were impatient with him for
not moving in an important matter, he said
people must not forget that | am not a
fountain, but cstern, and they must give

Detective q. b. Mead. Of Springfield,
Mass, and of the Boston and Albany
railroad, has Just made an important cap
ture in the arrest of the North Adams
branch train wreckers Daring four or five
weeks past there have been several attempts
to throw off The nine o'clock train from
Pittsticld to North Adams and, last Satur-
day week, rails were placed on the track at
Cheshire. while at least one attempt has
been made to wreck train on the main
line. The distractions have, in each case.
been seen in time to prevent accident, but
the knowledge of the determined attempts
have not been very soothing to passengers
or to the railroad company. The case was
at first given to Detective Mead who, after
investigation. settled upon young man,
Henry Nichols, of Cheshire as the guilty
person. Before sufficient proof against
him could be gained, however, Henry dis.
appeared. but was traced to Sandlake.
where he was arrested Thursday, by De
tectye Mead and Sheriff Kellogg of Pitts

guilt and implicated in the crime James

THE BLOCKADE RAISED.

March 10, s p. m.-Thc blockade is
clear again. This happy termination of
the difficulty, which | could not have be-
lieved when | wrote last night. is due TO
two causes--first, the indomitable energy
with which the men have worked through
all of last night and to-day and second,
the grand clearing up of the storm and
bursting forth of the glorious sun The
piercing rays OF the God of day have done
more to extricate us from our difficulties
than all the labor and snow loughs and en-
gines combined The snow which filed
the cuts was fast becoming ice, and twenty
-four hours more of the blockade would
have settled us here in the Sierras for at
least a week Happily this morning broke
clear and bright. The hard snow yielded
to the melting appeals of the sun, and the
huge snow-poughs, attacking the enemy
when at his weakest, tore passage
through, and the overland trains are once
more running My duty as historian OF
this great blockade is almost done but
cannot relinquish it without passing word
about the labors of this day.
THE LAST GREAT SCENE.
The great snow-plough started from this
station at ten this morning. At the same
time another started from Alta. Each was
propelled by eight forty-five ton engines,

NBARNuM's AMERICAN HIpPoDRoMR.-
Tne more we hear OF the enormous pre-
para Ions being made by Mr.. Farm, n
for his monster American Hippadrome,
the more We are astonished. Surely it
is intended to far'surpass any previous
production OF The Kind that this or any
other country has ever seen. Some
time ago we announced. the fact that
Mr.. Barnum had purchased many thou
s.cdsscs roneae' worth ct properties
from Messrs. Sanger, and that the arm
orers were to be SET 70 work immedi-
ately, and, as we expected, Messre. Ken
nedy & Co., of Birmingham, have re-
ceived orders for hundreds of suits Of
armor, which they are working ut almost
night and day, at their manufaotory, to
complete by given time. We may
here remark that this firm has Justly
obtained worldwide reputation for
spectacnlar arn1or, of which they are
the original inventors and manufac-
turers; and to such pitch of excellence
have they brought it, that the entire
London press speak, and We think very
Justly, in it's highest praise; and we
doubt not their invention has put thou
sands OF pounds into the pockets of ma
nagers, not only in England, but in
mnny other parts Of the world. In con-
frmation of this opinion, we have only
to pay visit to Astley's and the stand
ard theatres to find crowded houses, and
to look upon suoh scenes of splendor
that, until tho present time, have never
been brought before the public, and
which, have been styled by the press as
''indescribabJy grand" We regret We
have not yet been able to pay their es-
tablishment q visit, as among other
goods Mr.r Barnum has purchased from
them, are two suits of jeweled armor,
such as the world has neveribefore eeeu.
Some idea of their splendor may be- ga.
thered from the fact, that not only are
they coated with real gold, but are set
With upward Of $4,000 stones. We be-
lieve it is the intention of Mr. Barnum
to exhibit these in America before his
establishment opens. in glass cases,
which are being made specially for that
purpose. We understand, they have
orders In hand for nearly 100 suits of
armor for spectacular piece, about to
be produced in Paris, and heartily con-
gratulate Messrs. Kennedy on the great
success Of their invention.

TIE Rev. Dr. Stephens, strong Re-
publican, who has been travelling
through the south, writes as follows to
the Methodist of New York.
"South Carolina is absolutely ruined. No
stateman on earth, no angel in heaven, can
suggest solution of her financial problem ;
none seems possible but the great crime of
reputation, and this means simply moral
ruin, added to financial ruin."
Nothing better could be expected
when the picked Williams of the COM
munity have had possession of the
State government for five years; when
the Supreme court consists of a rene
gade jew, thieving carpetbagSer,
and q Congo African when the house
of representative is composed OF nine
ty-four negroes, seven carpetbaggers
and twenty-three white men; and
when the attorney general is the white
man who had the unblushing audaci-
ty to present himself on the floor of the
mongrel ball at Washington, in March
last, with noted cOlored woman of
bad reputation on each arm. Poor
South Carolina! as Il political "mon-
strosity," nursed into being by the fed
eral administration, she stands before
the world sad spectacle of the logical
fruits of Radicalism. ...

In the November numbers of the
Eclectic and Land We Love, 1859, an
interesting and important correspOn-
dence was published between DIR.
Joseph Jones, secretary ofthe Historical
Society and General S. Cooper, eX-ad-
iutant general OF the eConfederate States.
From that source we CLEAN the follow
ing facts for the benefit Of those who
are not so fortunate as to have pre-
served file of the magazines. Such
facts are startling even to those who
participated in the southern struggle
/. The available forces of the Con-
federate army did not during the war
exceed 600, 900 men.
9. The Confederate States never had
in their defense more than 200, 900
men in the field at one time.
3 From 1861 to 1865 the Confederate
forces actively engaged were only 6OO,-
900.
4. The total number of deaths during
thatti were 100000.
5. Losses of prisoners counted as to-
tai losses on account of the United
States policy of exchange, 100000.
6. The loss of the Confederate States
army by discharge, disability and de-
sertion amounted to 100000.
7. AT the close of the war the force
of the Confederate army was less than
100000.
s: Out of 100000 men, 100000 were
lost to the service.
These facts are taken from calcula-
tions made with great care by DIR.
Joseph Jones, submitted to and ap-
proved by General S. Cooper, adjutant
general of the Confederate army.
