A Brave Vivandiere. s A Faris paper gives the following account of a brave vivandiere: Madame Cros, a vivandiere of the foot Chas-' sours, a pretty woman of twenty-two, and a wife of one of chasseurs, requested permission of herhusband, who was in the reserve, to follow the attack and assist the wounded at Solferino. Taking with her a keg of brandy, a canteen of water, and a package of linen and lint, she went forward into the thick of the fight, heedless of the bullets and dressed the wounds of many of the men and among them that of (he Cent-Garde, who was struck in the bead when close to the emperor. A slioit time after, she saw one of the chase-seurs lying on the ground wounded in the side. She stooped down and gave him some water with a few drops of brandy in it. While the man was drinking, a ball broke ber little finger, smashed the glass, and killed the man. Madame Cros then proceeded to the ambulance to have ber wound dressed, and while on the way saw a soldier named Iliche, both of whose legs had been perft rated by a ball. Being wounded herself she could not lift the man up, but she adopted another expedient. She stooped down, and telling him to clrsp both his arms around her neck, in that manner she managed to drag him to the ambulance. On the' following' day, Madame Cros was told by the surgeon that her finger must bs amputated. .'-Well, then," said she, "do it at once;" And the operation was effected without her uttering a word. , Some rings on ber middle finger; whioh were broken by the ball, were afterwards presented to the Em peror, to whom the courageous conduct of the cantinicrt was related. , A Solid Mam. TheUrbaoa Citizen,speak-Ing of Itobert McParland, Esq., of that city, now in his 85th year, says he has lived there Styears. He saw Washington in 1793. Was in tTrbana before any house was built. Made the first bridle' ever made in Spring- field (lor Griffith Foot.) . Never gave a note ot went security. Never paid interest. Never sued any person, or was sued. . He never chewed tobacco or sm6ked a oigar.' He never drank a dram' of whiakoy in bis life; and he was the first class leader lq Urbana. He preached from appointmenU one year in ad. vance. sixteen limes at Rohinson't in liar rison township, and baa another appefotmeai there year ahead. i There are rumors of the discorory of r'ob gold diggings in Washo Valley, on the earnest slope of the Sierra Nevada. Ii is also rumored that a rich silver mine has been discovered there. . The discovery of a silver mine in Los Angcloi Co. is reported,. - ;! ' Catdhlajg' a' Tartar. : Do you know the origtn' of tW phrase "catching a Tartar?" Among the Tartars, when a young lady was of mWriageable nge, and was sought aftor by a young gentloioan, she mounted a fleet horsey He bestrode another, and she rode off, saying, "Catch me If you can," (that would be a good name for a perfume, as a companion to "Kiss me quick.") If she did'nt fancy him, though, she would'nt let hltn oatch her; with a view to which contingency, she always had the best horse, (and from this circumstance, arose another eld say-in& "The gray mare is the better horse.") If, on the contrary, she reciprocated his affection, she allowed him to overtake her, when she had tantalized him long enough, or discovered symptoms of an inclination to abandon the chase. (Somowbat parallol is the custom withes, whoro a young lady keeps her beau running after ner 48 long 3 she can before sho allows herself to be caught; and only consents to bo won, when she finds sho is likely to play A losing game herself.) The capture completed the marriage ceremony, so that when a man got married, he caught a TarUr. ' Sad Case of Wife Desertion. About four months ago a young man calling himself Wm. Evans located at Franklin-ton, over the river, and commenced working in the saw-mill of Richey Ss Bro., and soon after contracted to build a mill for that firm. He soon after became acquainted with and married a young and Intelligent fchool teach er, whose maiden name we did not learn. Her fortune, like that of most people of ber class, was not large.corsistingofa piano, a gold watch and a small sum of money; but small as it was, it was doubtless the premeditated intention of Evans to rob her of it, and of her happiness. They commenced housekeeping and lived very comfortably until a week or two since. Evans represented to his wife and others that he owned land in Minnesota and Kentucky, and hid $5,000 coming to him at Baltimore. In order to secure this inheritance he induced his wife to give him her watch, and sell her piano and furniture, with the ostensible intention of removing to the city to board. He secured all her money, came to this city and disposed of her furniture, and loft for regions unknown some time last week, leaving his young and interesting wife almost destitute, and terribly distressed by the villainous treachery ot , the man in whom she had placed her confidence and her happiness. . These facts we learn Irom a perfectly reliable authority and give them publicity in the hope that they may In some manner bring this fellow to justice, or that thoy may prevent similar operations on his part, as he appears to be an adept at the shameful and dishonorable business. Columbui Statesman- The Heroes Passing Away. The names of 253 revolutionary soldiers were on the rolls of the Pension Office, June 30th, 1858, In the succeeding six months 46 ad died, so that only 207 reinnined, Jan- uaiy 1, 1859. The age of some of these are from 100 to 103 years." At tho time first named (hero were 4, 209 widows of rovolu-tioBary soldiers on the rolls, which number was diminished in six months by 295. Of the survivors, 45 were wives of soldiers before the termination of the revolutionary war. Last Hours of Horace Mann. A correspondent of the Christian Register writes: I was with him constantly during the last thirty-six hours of his life, and I must say that I never saw the excellencies of bis character so fully revealed. All that was craggy, angular and masculine had already died, and what temained was rich indeed. His real greatness never shown out more than in tho death hour. When he was told that he had but a few hours to live, his brain flashed up with all the glow of his best days, and he talked at least two hours in a strain of almost supra-mortal eloquence. The members of his family, students remaining hore during tho vacation, and many of his neighbors were called in at bis request, and he had for each some ord of warning or cheer. It was particular ly note-worthy that his remarks to each per son had some specific pertinency of adapta tion. His ideas, and the language in which he clothed them, wore really grand, and amazed us all to silence nay, irelted us all to tears. A signal sweetness and tenderness pervaded' every word. Not often in one's lifetime does one have the privilege of witnessing so great scene. From tub Battlb Field. An American citizen traveling in Europe, writes from Turin on the 19th oi July, to the 'Evtninj foal as follows: ' , I went on a tour through the battle fields of Solferino and the neighboring spots whore the great fight occurred on the 2 1th of J une. One can hardly form as idea of that day's slaughter. Whatever' figures the pupers may have given, it is certain, and I have it from Impartial persona, that Austria lost 60,- 000 men in killed and badly wounded who daily die, and the allies 20,000. From the best accounts, the campaign of 1859 coat Aua tria 100,000 men, besides 35.000 prisoners captured br France and Piedmont, 24,000 of which fell Into the hands of the French and 11.000 into those of the ' Fiedmontese. " The allies lost less, via: France 8,000 killed and missfng. and 13.000 "wounded; and the Pled-montes 3,600 killed, and 7,000 wounded. 0O-tast Sunday.' in a Western . tillage, when the 'plate' was bejng passed In eh u rob, a gentlemen said to lb 'collector' 'Go on; I'm dead lrcadI'vo got a pass!' ' Political , Circular of the Republican national Committee. Albany. Aug. 16. . The Republican NationalCommittee at their meeting recently bold in thia city, issued the following Circular to their Republican friends throughout tho Union: . In (be judgment of the undersigned mom. bore of the Republican National Committee, the time h'as arrived for consultation and preliminary action in regard to the approaching struggle for the .Presidency, and they bg therefore to call your attention to the suggestions which follow. The Republican party had its origin in the obvious necessity for resistance to the aggressionsof the slave power and maintaining for the Slates respectively, their reserved rights and sovereignties. In the contest of 1856, by the presentation and advocacy of the true science of government, it laid the foundation of apormanent political or-ginization, although it did not get possession of the power to enforce its principles. When the result, adverse to its efforts and hopes, was declared, it unaffectedly acquiesced, giving to the victor, for the sake of tho country, its best wishes for an honest and fair administration of the government. How far Mr. Buchanan's administration has realized these wishes, is now patent to the world. With the executive power of the government in his hands his administration hes fuilcd in every respect to meat the expectations of the people, and has presented the most humiliating spectacle of corruption, extravagance, . imbecility, recklessness and Iroken faith. So apparent is this, even to our opponents, that the so called Democratic organization, always distinguished for its discipline ar.d party fidelity, is uttorly demoralized and distracted, without any recognized or accepted prty principle, and tb,reatered with dis ruption by the rival aspirations and struggles of its loading partizans. While the Adminis-. tration has been thus faithless to the interests of tbe country, and has thus disorganized the party which placed it in power, the Kepubli. can party has been constantly mindful of tho great public necessity which called it into ex. istence, and faithful to the fundamental prin ciple upon which it was erected. Experience has only served to strengthen the conviction of its absolute necossity, in tbo reformation of the National Government, and of tbo wisdom and justice of its purposes and aim. Although some of the exciting incidents of the election of 1856 have been partially dis posed of by the energy, enterprise and valor of a free people, the duty of Republicans to adhere to thoir principles, as enunciated at Philadelphia, and to Iaboi for their establish ment, was never more prossing than at this moment. The attitude of the slave power is persistently insolent and aggressive. It do- tnands of the country much more than it has demanded hitherto. It is not content with the National Government; not content with the dispensation of the honors and emoluments of the National Administration; not content with its well known influence nl- ways pernicious over tho legislation at the National Cupitnl- but it demands fresh con. cessions from a free people, for the purpose of extending and strengthening an institution, local in its character, the creature of Stato legislation, which tho Federal Government is not authorized to establish or extend by any grant of delegated powers. It demands by an unauthorized assumption of power, after hav ing, as occasion required, adopted and repudiated all the crude theories for the extension of slavery, of the ambitious politicians who Nought its favor the esiablishment and pro tection of slavery in the Territories by aot of Congress, and the revival of the African slave trade. , Upon no organization except that of the Republican party can the country rely for suc cessful resistance to theso monstrous propo sitions, and for the correction of the gross abuses which havo characterized the present National Administration. It is the duty, itm, of all patriotic men, who wish for the establishment of republican principles and measures in the administration of the Niional Government, to aid in perfecting and strengthening this organization for the coming struggle. There is much to be done involving earnest labor and the expenditure of time and monoy ; there should bo-First A thorough understanding and interchange of sentiments and views between the Republicans of every section of tho coun- f-7- . . ' , .. . ' Second An effective organization of the Republican voters of each State, county and to veil, so that our party may know its strength and its deficiencies, its power and its needs, before we engage in the Presidential struggle. . . Third The circulation of well considered documents, making clear the position of the Republican party, and exposing the danger ous character of tbe principles aqd policy of the Administration. Fourth Publio addresses ln localities where tiny are desired and needed 'by able champions of the Republican causo. -' ' Fifth A large and general increase of the circulation ol Republican journals throughout the country.- f ' ; " ' To giv practical effect to these suggestions, an adequate amount of money will be required, for the legal and faithful expenditure of which tbe undersigned will hold themstlies responsible. Thei vast ' patronage ofi the 'Federal Goverpment "will be wielded against lis, to which ' we can oj pose ' nothing but earnest and efficient devotion to the Republican cause, and the voluntary pecuniary offerings of our Republican friends. In conclusion, the undersigned' may be per mitted to express their opinion that the signs of the times are auspicious for the Republican party.and that in their judgment discreet and patriotic action throughout the confederacy, promises to secure a Republican victory in 1800. L n willing, however, to encourage hopes which may lie disappointed, and to placo their appeal for aid and co-operation upon the assurance of success in tho contest that is approaching, the undersigned are constrained to say that they rely most confidently upon the patrotism and zeal of their Republican breth ren for such aid and oo-operathn; meanwhile we have the lienor to be very respectfully, your obedient servants, (Signed,) t.

Dear Sir: Constant engagements in Court giro me but a moment' time to answer your coinmnnication of this date. T hope, bow- evor, to be explicit as I am brief, in respond . ing to the important questions propounded to me. I fully agree with you as to the importance of understanding the position and prin ciples of all candidates for public trust. This is the right of every elector, indispensably necessary to be enforcod to enable him to act undorstandingly, and the vital principle of a representative Democracy, The corresponding duty of the candidate is to take his positions Jtoimtlg, and maintain them openly. lis "errors may be safely tolerated whilo reason is left free to combat them." I am in favor Of maintaining .the freedom of the Territories of New Mexico and California in their whole extent, and utterly opposed to authorizing slavery or involuntary servitude of any kind within them, or to any compromise which shall doom any part of ibem to the curse of human bondage. I do not stop to state all the reasons1 which bring me to this conclusion. Suffice it to say tho maintaining of their freedom is, in my judg ment, due to humanity, to republican principles, to our character and interest as a people, to Mexico, and above all, to the poor of our own anil other lands, who shall go there to find homes for themsolves and their families and who would be degraded and disgraced by tbe contact of slave labor. Entertaining hoso views, if elocteJ, I should support all such measures as were calculated to maintain thorn, taking care at all times not to overstep the limits of the National Compact, or to en. c roach upon the reserved rights of the States-It is conceded that the Territories are now free. Tbey must remain so until changed by positive law of sovereign power." "No question is bettor settled in this country than that slavery exists in a Stale by virtuo of a local law." It is clear that it can no more exist in - Territory without such law than a man can breathe without air. Neither Congress nor a Territorial Legis lature, in my opinion, possess the power to establish it. It can only he done by the pco pie when admitted as a Stato under the (ton-eral principles of the. power of the Con. stitution." I have no doubt of the powor of Congress to erect Territorial Governments, and to provide for the prohibition of slavery within the Territories, and I am in favor of and would support such prohibition, , I do not think that "the legal principle against Territorial slavery would be made stronger by a prohibition,"but as a public and autborative declaration by Congress of the fact thst these Territories are now free and of the determination of the American people to keep them so, it may be important, at all events it is open and fair dealirg with all parties,and 1 should be unwilling to omit anything cnlcula ted to give security to the principle our flag should never float ovor another foot of slave territory. You ask what measures I am in favor of, for maintaining the freedom of those territories I have already stated those which bear directly upon it another of great importonce, indirectly, would be to protect them, as well as our public lands from the blighting curse of larvt monnpoly. Without such monopoly slavery cannot exist. I regard the public lands as a tr ist in the hands of the government for tho benefit of the people, and think they should bo freely granted, in limited quantities to actual settlors only. This, in my opinion, would secure them against monopolists 4 speculators ofall kinds; and would settle them with a hardy and in dustrious population of freemen. In regard to slavery in the Distriot of Columbia, I an-swer that more' than ten years ago I had occasion to make publio my opinion of the du ty of Congress to aMish sltvery In the District of Columbia. The lap) of time has only served to strengthen that opinion. .Therein, tion as to the power of Congress ovoMhe in-ter State shve trade, has, I believe, been set. lied by the Supreme Court. ' ' Toil ask, finally, for which of the Presidential candidates I Intend to vote at the coming Presidential election. ' I had supposed that my position was too well known to render such a question necessary; but as I desire no concealment, aid would acorn to receive a vote obtained through misapprehension, I will answer that I Intend to rote for Lewis C.it.3. I regard the Presidential contest as lying betwoon him and Oenemt TsrHor, and that Democratic votes thrown '-for Van Bit ran dan serve no other purpose than to elect General Taylor, In such an Issue I cannot hsi(ate to choose tho old and tried Statesman, whose opinions are opeDly avowed, and, I believe, entirely safe; whose oducation, habits, looa- t ion and associations, mutt all incline bim to detest slarory, who is in no way Interested in, or connected with the institution; as against Gon. Taylor whose opinions are carefully concealed, who was bonv reared and educated in the midst of it, who bos now a large fortune invested in slaves, and of whom bis Southorn friends assert, with his sppsrent approbation, that upon this groat paramount question he "is of them, and for them, and with them." To which may be added, without derogating from his well earned military fame, his want of familiarity with civil affairs, and tho thick jda,rknoss whioh rests upon his politif alpriacipLs. These are roy views, honestly entertained, and whether they agree with the "Buffalo Platform" can be seen by comparison. . ....... ,. Very Respectfully, Tour obodient sorvant. R. P. KAXXEf. From the Kansas Press, of June 211. Tbe Next President. We publish an article in another column, urging the claims of linn. S. P. Chase for the next Presidency. That tho administration of Gov. Chase, if elected, would be the purest of any administration since Washington, we fully bolievo. Gov. Chase, upon the other hand, is a rep resentative man; he never stops to inquire if a thing be popular, but if it be right; he at once gives it his support and iiilluonce, to make it popular.. There is no man, in oures timation, that so well roprosonts the great Free Labor question of the day, as does Gov. Chine of Ohio. This, in conuection with the fact that the West is entitled to tbe next President, will in our estimation, not only se cure his nouiination.but triumphant election; fur that tbe Opposition are to elect the next President, we have not a doubt. Buchanan will have control of the General Government for two years to come, and if he cucceods as well in tho future, as he has so lar, he will entirely use up the Democratic party, leaving the triumph of tbe Republicans in 18(10, a cer tainty, . We believt' that either Seward or Chase will be the Republican nominee for President that Chase will be the choice of every Kansas man, we cannot doubt. 'No man outside ef Kansas, has taken a greater interest in. and done more.for the good of our Territory, than Gov. Chase of Ohio. A feeling is fast gaining ground in the country, that the'oxpennes of our government are too great that a reform is needud. W. U Seward is not the man to lead that reform, as it is a lamentablo fact that Seward has lent his influence , and voted for almost every ex penditnre of the General Government durin; his Senatorial career. Chase and Seward whilst both were in the Senate, were frequent ly voting in opposition upon these questions of expenditures, Seward Cavers tho Northern Pacific Rail Road following the chain of lakes; Chase is fully committed to the Central route which passes through the heart of Kansas, a consideration of itself that should induce every Republican in Kansas, to favor his election.. Da. Tom 0., EnwAnns' Sivoisn Morsn. Dr. Tom O. E Wards, who lives on Lorindor avenue. oWe tho LTinder House, has a canary, which is a very floe singer. Sometime since the servant girl, who was sitting one night, in the kitchen, was much astonished at an imitation of the canary's note, which proceeded from tho enpHnard. Thinking that per-haps it was the devil, shs prscipitately flew, but the next niirht and the next it was no better. Tnvestijfstion. however, revealed the cane. Tho cupboard was left opsn, and a watch was placed, and soon after a monee came out, got np on his hannch", enrled Us tail Sflnirrel fiishion over its bark, and commenced warbling exactly like, the canary, In a sweet but low tone. This has been repeated niirht after nieht. and has been witneed by hosts of people This Is a verv singular phenomenon, and leads, one to believe that mice are capable of .hotter things than to nib. bio cheese or afford dinners to prowling oats.

I quote from Mr. Lane of the Philadelphia Conference, from Mr. Atwatar of the Provi-dence Conference, ministers) in good standing in the M. E.

I offer publicly to meet bim and submit the testimony to twelve honest men and ho is ' afraid I shall not Interest an intelligent audience and calls on me to own myself defeated and retract my slanders. I offor, if he will induce Bishp Janes to dony the truth of the statement of Dr. Me Ferrin, to renounce that testimony. He takes no notice of the offer, but declares I must know tho statements to be slanders, Now, is it not clear, that honest' .dealing with proof is not his purpose? he intends to. shufQV, evade and dony the credibility of tea" timony. without doing the slightest thing to impeach the witnesses, all of whom ar rain-,, isters of equal standing with himself in the. same Church and have been approved by their respective Conferences since they published those ststemrnts; and Mr. Mattison In particular, has received from one of the Bishops a . letter of commendation tn ehriatiani of Eu-ropo, among whom he did expect to travel. Does the M. E. Church approve such truthless men, that I cannot believe them .when thoy speak of their own denomination? Mr. W. pursues precisely the course par-, sued by Catholics, when in controversy with Protestants, and one would think he brd. e- , kon lessons of Archbishop Hughos. He declares, I must know these statements-to be slanders. I solemn ly declare I do not know them tnbe. and do not bliove them to-slanders; nor have they ever been so declared , in any Methodist papernor would ho dare so to affirm through the organs of his own church, lest he should be confronted. I know that mm partt of Mr. Mattison'i statements have been dnnied and an attempt ' tnide to disprove them, bat not, te) my knowledge, has anybody called in question tbo statements quoted in, this statement., a : In his article of Aug. . 13ih, ha charge mo with omiting apart of what Bi-bup Janes said on the tlawi quettiim, and he proceeds to quote. with a flourish, the following.' " "The question Is wpeariHllv asked, Ttl the mothodist Epi -copal Church Smith any atjency in this movement (the'mnh).' ' In rap judgment, leading members in tht Church were the principle Instigator.
