The Philadelphia Telegraph is repub-
lican paper, but it has the manliness to
speak thus:-"Consldering the fact that
the republicans of the United States sem
ate recently entered into an offensive
and defensive alliance with one rebel
brigadisr, and are now contending
against the democrats Of both the north
and south to make another rebel briga-
dier sergeant alarms of the senate, 1t
would possibly be as we'll for them to
cease twitting the southern senators with
having been rebels during the late an
pleasantness,' and to drop the sectional
issue altogether. When, ON Wednes-
day, it was declared that the confeder-
acy still existed in q! solid south, it was
very properly and truly srstorted' that
very much OF the democratic southern
sol,dity was the result, direct aud 'iudi-
rect. OF the various arbitrary asd unjust
reconstruction laws which the south was
compelled to submit to under the direc-
ton Of the carpet-baggers: The solidi-
ty of the south is not to be broken up BY
a return to the reconstruction measures
administered ~ other pet.baggers.
though judging from the policy now be-
ing outlined by the. republican leaders
in the senate, that is what is contemplar
ted. The north has no sympathy what
ever with men who are keeping north
and south at arms'length and who would,
if they could, have them facing each other
iat swords. point."' On these sentiments
patriotic men north and south can strike
hands with heartfelt good will. Tbs
southern people do, not hate-no; they
do not evan disliks-thet north, It is
tho uneharitable, nagg1pg abuse OF re-
publican orators and newspapers which
keeps, the TIVE sections apart, and it is en-
couraging. to see one able and induen-
tial republican paper rising supsrlor 10
the standard set for it BY its party. 1t,
will be, a glorious day tor the county
when it becomes literally true that ''the
nerth has no sympathy whatever with

The following thrilling story came in

I'VE very nearly had fatal accident
here yesterday March ~ returning
home from hunting. A young. lady
miss Hippesley) who had partaken OF
the sport expressed q wish to return
home. Mr.. North. eldest son Of the Hon.
william North, formerly of the Lite
Guards. volunteered to escort her. In
attempting to cross ford (she being in
advance) she unfortunately mlstook it
and got into deep water. She, however,
managed to swim her horse over, but
on the landing side the bank was per-
pendicular and her horse fell back with
her. Her habit got hitched In the
orutch Of the saddle, and there she was,
her head downwards. with the horse
in deep water. Young North,
without moments hesitation, jumped
of his horse, plunged IN and swan over
to her, some forty yards, and at great
risk, unhitched the habit. got her on his
hack and swan back with her." Now
The proper thing for the young lady to
do is to fall in love with the young fell
low and marry him. There is no quss-
lion that he will be in love with her. "
