reason of the breachiness of the COW, and
he drove the COW back and rendered her to
the defendent but the defendent refused to
receive her, and the plaintiff took her home

her to prevent her from jun ping the fence,
and by reason of the yoke or poke she
broke her neck and died j; and if the Jury
further believe that the defendants inter-

the plaintiff s note was worthless and the
COW good for nothing, either for milk or

Within your heart to ranklc.
But when it trips along the street,
Through wind and mud and vapor,
By sheerest accident you see

And as its steps upon the walk,

Two roguish eyes look up and say,

A correspondent of the Cincinnati En-

A few days ago prisoner in the hands
of General1Mitchell, named Cobb, a rela-
tive Of Howell Cobb, died in the hospital
at this place. A Federal officer visited
the prison, as was his daily wont, and


learning the facts asked the other prison
ers if they would not like to attend the
funeral. The reply was, yes, but they
could not expect to have such boon ac-
corded them in their peculiar situation
The officer at once repaired to the head
quarters of General Mitchell, stated the
case, and received an order for their per
mission to accompany shc remains of their
conrade TO the last resting place He re
turned to the prison with the order, ex-
acted promise that they should Lot at

when the ladies of the town strewed the

with the rarcst flowers Of the garden, and
| evinced, in the most unmistakab,e manner,
their sympathy and their ardent love for
the cause of the South. The scene was at
once solemn, grand and affecting. There
lay the earthly remains OF the deyo'eL sol>

Democrats were willing to forego AL con
troversy about their principles during its
continuance, and to labor, heartily with
all who were working to maintain the SUI

to expect the same patriotic course from
Republicans and abolitionists. In this they
have been disappointed. The abolition
rulers of the republican organization have
insisted upon forcing their dogmas upon
the country as the basis upon which the
war shall be prosecuted. Democrats and
conservative men have been forced into
party attitude TO check abolitonism.-
They perceived at once the lnsincerty of
the assumed Union sentiments of aboli-

The Republican party ofthe free States

fesses to have no object but to enforce the
laws and support the authority of the
Government, and we have no doubt it is
the purpose Of the masses to pursue the
object in COED faith; but where are all the
Republican Congre,smen aud editors to
so after the record they have male ? Do
they expect to convince the world that
they have abandoned party objects after
this lat Congress? We ask again, where
will they so ? Surely, they will not un-

will strive only for the Union ! We

OF about four hundred and fifty thousand

half are wholly out Of employment, or

reduction of earnings in other employ
