If THE National Christian League
for the promotion of Christian purity,
shall attempt to carry out their ex-
pressed determination to wait upon
Mrs. Breckenridge AMI advise her to
forsake her husband, in this his hour OF
trouble, no matter if he did bring it on
himself, ii is hoped she may have bic
brother or other near relative at hand
with cowhide, and THAI he may whip
their gross and insulting impertinence
out of them to his hearts content, and
TO the pain of their backs.

4 SUBSCRIBER TO the Philadelphia
Record says the insurgent Brazilian Die
tator Pcixoto should shoot the leaders
of the later insurgents as traitors, and
disfranchise their followers for ever,
lest they in time, like our rebels, get
into political power" And yet twenty
nine years ago the last shot in the war
between the States was fired. Natur-
ally, civilized victors are magnanimous,
and doubtless there are many maguani-
NOUS northern men, but that there are
thousands of such as theone referred to,
is made plain, not only by their own cx-
pressions, but by those of their represen-
tatiyes in Congress.

If ANY body has money to invest in
real estate, Alexandria is the place in
which to put it. Such property is
cheaper here now than it ever will be
again, the city is growing in size and
population, and its business OF all sorts
is increasing. AleXandrians who have
recently made investments in other
places, now know they could have done
much better at home, and their losses
should deter others from treading in
their footsteps.

BY an unaccountable oversight we
neglected to mention the outrageous
attack made upon Mr.. Jas. II. Clover, of
this place, by Elw ard Shifiett, a young
fellow of about Is years, resident Of
POwell's Fort, aud who from all accounts,
is trying to make u reputation as a
bowling terror. The facts, as gwen by
Hr. Clover, who Is a prominent citizen
of this place aud member of the town
council are as follows: On Saturday of
week before last as Mr.. Clover and his
little son were fishing near the river
bridge on the Woodstock and Powell's
Fort road, Shiffiott. who was on his way
to town in q wagon, commenced throwing
stones at Mr.. Clower's son without the
sligh pr0vocation. Mr.. Clover called
to him to know what be meant by such
conduct aud received volley of profans
abuse in reply.
He then went upon the bridge to as
certain who this boy was, and
when he approached HIM he ran TO the
wagon making all kinds OF threats and
catching up hn ak he made at Mr.. Clover
and tried to cut hin down, he only es-
Gaping having his head split open by
constantly lodging the blows, several OF
which struck bis nat brim and the lapel
ofhis coat. Persons who witnessed the
scene from bank below thought Clover
must be terribly cut. Having nothing with
which to defend himself against an ak MI
Clover got away and came TO town
where he had the young desperate ar
rested. He was bought before Justice
Haas who held him to bail in the sum Of
$50 for the action OF the grand jury.
While apparently trying to get bail he
gave the officer the slip and got off to his
home in the Fort. Here he managed to
keep out of the way of officer Keller, who
went after him, but finally appeared in
company with bis mother before Justice
in that section and gave the required
bail.
