ordered the horses to be put to. He thep
drove off with his wife and his only daugh
ter inside the carriage with him.
On Yhe box of the carriage was a serf,
who had been on I he nobleman’s . estate,
to whom he was much attached, and who
loved bis master as bo loved his own life.
They rolled over tho hardened snow, and
there was no sign of danger. The moon
shed a pale light, and brought out into
burnishod silver tbe" road on which they
\yere going. At lost the little- girl said to
her father: “What was that strange
howling sound that I just heard?” “O
nothing but the wind sighing through the
forest- trees,” replied the father. The
child shut her eyes and was quiet. But
soon she said again : “ Listen, father, it is
not like the wind, I think.” The father
listened, and far, far away, in the distance
behind him, through the clear, cold, frosty
air, be hoard a noise which he too well
know the meaning of.
Ho then put down the window, and
spoke to hia servant: “The wolves, I
fear are alter us: make haste. “ Tell tho
man to drive faster, and get your pistol
ready.” The postillion drove faster. But
tho same mournful sound which the child
heard approached nearer and nearer. It
was quite sure that a pack of wolves had
scented them out. The nobleman tried to
calm the anxious fears of his ohild and
wife.
At last the baying of the pack was dis
tinctly hoard
So he said to his servant,
“When they come up with ns, do you
single.out quo and fire, and I will single
out another, and while the rest are devour*,

put down the wiudow, lie saw tho pack in
full cry/behind, thelarge dog-wolf at their
hoad. Th0 two shots were fired, and two
wolves fell. The others instantly set upon
them and devoured them; and meanwhile

and Kentucky, with one important (Re
ception, to which wo propose to call atten
tion.
The exception ta -which we allude is'
this: When about to enter upon his Ken
tucky campaign, he admitted upon his per
sonal staff a distinguished citizen ofqne of
same. This gentleman is known to be a
warm personal friend and admirer of Gen
eral Bragg, and since the return of that
officer, lie has been busi*'"
The Missouri Massacre—Heroic Self-sacrifice.
We learn from a lute number of the Cin
cinnati Enquirer that one of the victim*
eelected by the Federal Ge neral /
for his butchery in Missou; vas
feuding tho Kentucky campaign, not
through his ow n columns only, but by let
ters addressed to other newspapers over
the -signature of “Press.”
The object of this brief notice is not to
criticise the conduct of Gen Bragg in this,
much less that of the able editor in ques
tion, who possesses every qualification for
the position of a staff officer, but to call
attention to the fact tfiat one of tho chief
enemies of the Press, after exerting him
self for months to destroy jts usefulness
and bring it into disgrace, now finds it
necessary to invoke it's powers to shield
himself from the consequences of his own*
failures. If we felt disposed to comment
upon the circumstances alluded to, WO
might find ample mutter for just and severe
criticism, but our desire is simply to point
the following moraj. %
No officer is so high;that his felly may
not bring him to the ground, or so infalli-'
bie that he.may not require the assistance
of others to defend him against h^ own
mistakes and short comings. As under
the> present organization of society, he can
not do this effectually, exeept through the
aid ot the Press, it becomes his duty . and
interest, not to destroy the Pressor impair
its usefulness, but, if in his power, to elevate
its character, increase its dignity, and cor
rect its faults, to tho end that it may' be.

But the carriage was soon overtaken, and
the post bouse was yet far distant.
Tho nobleman then ordered the postillion

who had a wife and several children
pendent altogether upon his daily labor
for their support. A young man knowing
the condition of the family, offered himself
to McNeill as a substitute for the husband
and father, was accepted, and was one of
the teu who were shot. The Cincinnati
paper, with more independence than we
should have looked for from that quarter,
says the history of that atrocious murder
would not be complete without the relation
of this incident of heroic self sacrifice; nei
ther would the infamy of McNeill be fully
understood and appreciated without its
recital. One of the reproaches of the Ad
ministration is, that McNeill was allowed
to remain a single day in service after this
inhuman affair had been brought to its no
tice. From the same source we learu that
at the liitoFremoutcelebration in St. Louis,
McNeill was present, and that duripg the
occasion he proposed to drink with a bro
ther officer. The result of the invitation
was a marked one. The officer invited by
McNeill to drink recoiled from the offer as
if in contact with dishonor, and denounced
him as a murderer, and unfit for the soci
ety of an officer of the American Army.
He told him further,, where he could be
found if ; McNeill. considered himself insult
ed by the way be had been treated.

Shall ithe War succeed?—A Dark Future.
“Shall the War succeed ?” is the title of
a significant article iu the New York World
of the 27th. It asks :
“Whgi to-day is hopeful ot success of our
arms, or protracted imrannity from foreign
• intervention; the conquest of a honorable
peace afid a reunited conntry, save only
tho radicals, whose machinations have
thrice cheated us of victories, whose lack
of nntibnal spirit invited foreign insolence
and whtme labor of years has been to be
little the value of the Union which they
now pretend to be alone able to save ? Who
does not say in his secret mind that the
future is unutterably dark, the hope of sa
