You have conquerred us, you have crushed us, you are our masters, you have taken our swords, our guns, our forts, our ships, you have disbanded our armies nuil disfranchised our best and most honored men. If you choose to call secession a crime, you can do it; you can hang us because we claimed the right to secede. If you choose to ray the belief in States’ rights is trea son, you can do so, and hang us for such belief. But if such opinions are to be held as crime, you should so set them down in your code of laws, and annex thereto the penalty you say they deserve. If you choose to play the tj- c rant over us and establish an inqulsi- - tion over free thought and free speech, you can do it, but you should first make out your code of laws, that we may walk warily. What monstrous injustice is that government guilty of that leaves what it calls treason so un defined that even wise men anil loyal souls like Horace Greeley, made the dreadful mistake of preaching it to one hundred thousand people? Jefferson Davis is no greater criminal than the men who put him at the head of the Southern Confederacy; if he deserves hanging, so do they; if he is unworthy to stand on your soil and look your soldiers in the face, so are millions of our men unworthy. When you call him a coward and an arch-traitor, you call them cowards and arch-traitors. If you hato him with that bitter and malignant hatred, we will accept it as our portion also. A Southern Woman. Slartli/iff Developments of the Washington Ding. Washington, August 21, 1875.— In June last, the large dry goods store of Perry & Brother, on Pennsylvania avenue, was robbed on Sunday after noon of 80,000 worth of silks and laces. The store was in the most frequented locality, and the detectives at once sought a clow to the robltcrs, traciug the property and one of the burglars to Baltimore. Two-thirds of the goods were recovered. A party who gave the name of Schneider was arrested and identified as having been seen lounging in the locality of the store on the day of the robbery. The boldness of the theft, in connection with the fact that the senior member of the firm is an old resident of the city, one of the memorialists in connection with the District investigation, anil had been as much an object of persecution as Co lumbus Alexander, upon whom the District ring attempted to fasten col lusion in the well known safe-burglary robbery, excited the attention ot the merchants, who were free in the ex pression of the opinion that this was another desperate effort to put obloquy u|»on a firm that had by its integrity helped to encourage the Congressional investigation. The prompt action of the detectives did not lessen the suspi cion in the minds of the Perry Brothers, who immediately removed their valu able silks to New York, and announced that they would no longer keep on hand duplicate patterns. The sequel of (lie robbery is a repe tition of the safe-burglary. When •V Itallicay Incident. It was a third-class carriage. She was a pleasant-faced young woman, going, I think, for the first time after her .marriage, to visit her parents in her old home, to show them their two fine grand-children. At least, this was the little history I built up for her in my own brain from a word or two that I heard between her and her husband at the' station, as he put her into the carriage with an affectionate farewell. I always watch with great interest the ills and greetings of my fellow*, hi farewel travelers, and have a lashion of thinks ing out for myself the whole story of their previous lives from the little hints, that I get in this way. It is to mg^ifl were permitted to open, the second volume of an interesting ros mance, and allowed to read only one short sceue in this, and asked to guess as nearly as possible from this one scene, the previous course of the story auil the characters of the actors in it. The youngest child was an infant of alwut three or four months old—very quiet and good ; the other was a pret ty, restless little girl of three, who could not bo still a single moment, and kept the careful mother busy by her questions and wants and childish prat tle. She was not at all bashful, and soon talked to us also iu such a natu ral, coquettish, condescending way, that we were quite in love with the charming little lassie, and tagged her mother not to check her innocent ad vances to us. • When we had been traveling togeth er for two or three hours, and began to feel quite like old acquaintances, while the train was going at full speed, the mother half rose from her seat to place the girl, who had left her place, again on the opposite seat. How it happened, Uhave never understood; it was one of those accidents which seem impossible, and, in fact, only happens once in a hundred thousand times; but just as site stood half erect, holdiog her sleeping babe upon oue arm and her little frolicsome maiden somewhat awkwardly on the other, the little girl made one of her sudden, quick move ments, and in an instant she was gone from our eyes. What a moment! The poor mother stood fixed and rigid iu exactly tb alighted on a pile of straw in a field, not two feet from a stone wall!” Then what a scene! Every man at the train windows has his hat off in a moment and is waving it and cheering as if he would split his throat; every woman is buried in her pocket-handker chief, crying and laughing together. The stout old egotist and the vain young dandy have thrown their arms around each other, and nre embracing with that heartiness that belongs to the sons of the Vaterland, although they never met before this morning. The stiff old maid in the corner has shaken my hands in both of hers so many times, that I feel they are quite sore. All the inhabitants of the little vil lage come running around the train, enace sii ••AVhafisItr Where is he? &h*fa* Kraiser himself, orisittheKronpriuz?”! — * they ask in bewildered excitement at the sight of ours. But all the Kraisersand Kronprinzes in Europe put together, could not have aroused tho flood of feeling that surged through that train. It was sympathy with a sentiment far older than loyalty —older than the kings to whom loyalty is duo—which was stirring every heart; it was sympathy with a mothers love ! —Rodon Advertiser. Derivation or the .Vamen or the Slates. There is much that is interesting in the study of the origin of the names of the States of the Union, as they are derived from a variety of sources.

Let his guilt or innocence he shown to the civilized world. When you charge Jefferson Davis with the erime of secession, remember your own honored and now sainted Horace Greeley, as well as other leading men of the North, was an earnest believer in the right of secession. In the New York Tribune, of December 17, 1800, Greeley says: ‘If it (theDeclaration of Independence) justified the secession | Schneider was lodged iu jail he sent for Rieliard Harrington, who, in the capacity of Assistant United States District Attorney, had caused the re lease of Benton, of New York, the party appreheuded for blowing open the District Attorney’s safe, anil in whose possession on the steps of Mr. Alexander’s house, was found the hooks and papers that were to destroy Alex ander’s influence before the Congres sional Committee. It will be remem bered that the tail accepted for Benton was worthless, and the prisoner has tiever been heard from. Harrington resigned, and a son of Judge Fisher nominally filled his place. It was to the son all the blame of his father’s disgrace was attached, and the Judge thereby forced to resign. Yesterday, Assistant United States Attornoy, Charles G. Fisher, sent a note to the Clerk of the Criminal Court to the effect that the bail in the sum of 83,000 would be regarded in the case of Schueider as sufficient. Bail was accepted and the prisoner dis charged. The report is that young Fisher, with the released prisoner, went to Baltimore to dispose of the goods not recovered by the police, of which he was to receive a share, and was also to receive 8900 for his services in effect- ing the release. Judge Fisher disclaims any knowl edge of the transaction, as he also did in the release of Benton through the intervention of Harrington, and many of the citizens of Washington who con demn his course iu the Benton matter r f, 1Ss & S.

How long this lasted, I do not know ; doubtless it seemed to us much longer than it really was. Then the young mother seemed to come to herself, and made a sudden movement as if she would spring through the window af ter her vanishing darling, now far away. I caught her quickly fast and held her, while the kind young lady who sat opposite me took the baby from her arms, and we all began to our superstantial bread. And lead vs not into temptation.

Somehow, we managed in our tly between the mniil and the coach- excitement to do all that was possible;! man, about fetching the cream for from the British Empire of 3,000,000 of colonists in 1770, we do not see why it would not justify the secession of 5,- 000,000 of Southerners from the Fed eral Union in 1861.’ In the Tribune of February 23, 1861, five days after Jeflerson Davis was inaugurated at Montgomery, Greeley used these words: ‘We have repeatedly said, auil wc once,more insist, that the great principles embodied by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence, that gov ernments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, is sacred anil just, and that if the Gulf States choose to form an independent nation, they have a clear moral right to do so.’ In the Tribune, of November 9, Gree*. Icy further says: ‘ Tho.-e who would rush upon carnage to defy or deieat a separation demanded by the popular vote of the Southern people, would clearly place themselves in the wrong.’ Soldiers of the Grand Army, remem ber which side * rushed upon carnage to defeat that separation’ to which the South had a 1 clear moral right.’ Re member there was not a day, nor even an hour, when the South would not gladly have made peace on the basis of independence. And when you talk of the horrors of Andersonville, remember that figures tell a tale which you can not deny; figures show the death-rate in Northern prisons was greater than in Southern, and this despite our pov erty, our starvation, and destitution of medicines. Remember what side wa3 always willing to exchange prisoners, and which side sternly refused to ex- change. Grant said, ' It was easier to j are disposed to sympathize with the feed than to fight rebels.’ Some time 1 Judge, os the misfortune which has ago, a letter appeared in the Albany | now befallen him comes like the blow Argus, charging the Andersonville hor- which wounded the feelings of the late rors squarely home to Grant. Gen., United States Treasurer, who was de- Hitchcock, Butler and others, wanted to exchange.- Grant forbade it. Grant sent this telegraph: “ On the subject of exchange, I differ from Gen. Hitch cock. It is hard on our men held in Southern prisons, but not to those left in the ranks to fight our battles. To frauded by a young man whom ho had put in office and had known from child hood.

But more than all else, soldiers of the North, when you speak of Andersonville, or Libby, or Saulsbury, or Belle Isle, you should remember these prison places were in the bosons of the land on which your Government had let loose the bloody dogB of war. These prisoners were in the bosom of a land- fighting to defend itself from a million of armed men. The men who suffered in those prison places had come to us with shot and domestic difficulties. Suddenly they were _nly changed their mode of life, and as complete patterns of conjugal felici ty as they had formerly been of discord. A neighbor, anxious to know the cause of such a conversation, asked the wife to explain it. She replied: ‘ I and the old man have got od well enough to gether ever since we kept two bears in the house.’ ‘ Two bears!’ was the per* plexed exclamation. * Yes, sure,’ re joined the old lady; * bear and for, bear.’ . . . . brother in a Baptist Church shell, with sword and fire in their hands, j of Miami county, Ind., while giving They ^killed, they burned . they destroy- bis experience, not long ago, said: Bretherin, I’ve been a tryin’, this ■toy ed, they desolated.

Of course the train must go with in creased speed to make up for the mo ment of delay, so there was no chance for us to sec more of the poor bereaved mother. “ Telegraph to us at the next station," said one of the railroad func tionaries to the guard. “ Yes, yes, be sure to do it immediately,” cried a do zen voices; for in some mysterious way the news of the accident had run through the train ns if by electricity, and a long row of sympathizing luces watched from the carriage, the disap pearing forms of the mother anil the guard. “ It will take her half an hour to reach the spot, and it is just thirty-five minutes now to tho station,” said the stout gentleman in the next corner, taking out his watch and holding it open in his hand, his eyes fixed upon it. He had struck me as one of the most selfish and disagreeable old gen tlemen possible; scarcely answering a polite question from a neighbor; and then, in the shortest and gruffest man ner possible; he had seemed complete ly absorbed by his newspaper and his snuff-box, not having noticed the little fairy in any way except to glance at her now and then with a savage ex pression, as her clear, childish laugh had disturbed his reading. Now, his whole soul seemed to be fixed on the watch before him, and he “ chided the tardy flight of time” again and again, in words more forcible than ornamen tal. There was a young would-be dandy in one corner; light, straw-colored gloves, a slender cane, an infant mus tache, and an eye-glass stuck in one eye, seemed to be, in his opinion, tos kens of vast superiority over tho other travelers; and he spoke very little, ex cept occasionally to make some supercili ous remark or ask some question about third-class traveling, apparently to pro duce on us the impression that he wa3 a young'nobleman, or prince, perhaps, in disguise, seeing for himself how or dinary mortals fared. What a change had come over him now; the eve-glass hung dangling hither and thither; with the kid gloves, of which he bad been so dainty, ho grasped the dusty facing ot the door, and was straining his gaze, first backward, until the poor mother was no longer to be seen, and then for- ward to the next station, where news was to meet us. Now, at last we are there; the train halts, and one of the guards runsquick- ly into the office over which “ Tele graph” is painted. Everybody who can possibly get his or her bead out oi the window on that aide, thrusts it out There is a moment of intense suspense; here comes the guard again with a dis patch in his hand; he stands about mid way between the ends of the train and to read it out in his clear, loud, tones: ” Child perfectly srfnmT: breakfast, the gentleman one morning called them before him, that he might hear what they had to say, and decide accordingly. The maid pleaded that tho coachman was lounging about the kitchen the greater part of the morn ing, and yet was so ill-natured that lie would not fetch the cream for her, notwithstanding he saw she had so much to do as not to have a moment to spare. The coachman alleged that it was not his business. “Very well,” said the master; “ but pray what do you call your busi ness ?” “To take care of the horses, and clean and drive the coach,” replied lie. You say right,” answered the master. “ and I do not expect you to do more than I hired you for; but this 1 insist on, that every morning, before breakfast, you get tho coach read}’, and drive the maid to the farm er’s for milk; and I hope you will al low that to be part of your busi ness.” The coachman and the maiden soon after came to terms.—Once o flYfi. Limit Your Wants.—From the nature of things, the income of most of the inhabitants of the earth must be limited, and indeed, within very nar row bounds. The product of labor throughout the world, if equally divi ded, would not make the share of each individual large. It is impossible that every one should be what is called rich. But it is by no means impossible to be independent. And what is the way to compass this—as Burns appropriately designates it—* glorious privilege ?’ This method is very simple. It consists in one rule: Limit your wants. Make them few and inexpensive. To do this, would interfere but little with your real enjoyment. It is mostly a matter of habit. You require more, or are satisfied with less, just os you have accustomed yourself to the one or the other.

Ashamed to Swear Alone.— Why is it that the most blasphemous oaths are always in a crowd ? The profane swearer would not dare to go ipto his private chamber and utter those horrid imprecations. No, no! he wants them to be heard and laughed at. It is tho greatest of cowardice to swear in a crowd, what you would not do in secret. ‘ I will give you 810,’ said a man to a profane swearer, ‘ if you will go into the Village graveyard at 12 o’clock to-night, and swear the same oaths you have just uttered, when you are alone with God.’ ' Agreed,’ said the man, * an easy way to get 810.’ ‘ Well, come to-morrow and say you have done it, and the money, is yours.’ The time passed on; midnight came. The man went into the graveyard. It was a night of great darkness. As he entered tne graveyard, not a sound was heard ; all was still as death. Then came the gentleman’s words to his mind with power: ‘ Alone with God!’ rang in his ears. Afraid to take another step, he fell on his knees and cried, ‘ God be merciful to me, a sinner.’ If a young man sits up too late with his sweetheart out at Hadponfield the old folks come into the parlor, and with a refinment of sarcasm, invite him to { wait a few minutes longer and break- fcst will be ready.

A lady, whose family were very much in the habit of proposing conun drums, was one evening asked by her husband in an excited tone, “ Why are all these doors left open ?”—“ I give it up!” instantly replied the lady.

For instance, ono was listen ing to Dio Lewis, who said, ‘ Now, ray man, if you eat blackbeiries and oat meal, and nothing else for a year, you will be able to lift a horse.’ The skeptic was not satisfied, and cut him self off from all chances of being class ed among reasonable men by saying, * I don’t want to lift a horse, nei ther.’ * Sir,’ said a fierce lawyer, ‘ do you, on your solemn oath, swear that this is not your handwriting ? ‘ I reckon not,’ was the cool reply. ‘ Does it re semble your writing?’ ‘Yes, sir, I think it don’t.’ * Do you swear that it don’t resemble your writing?’ ‘Well I do, old heat.’ ‘ You take a solemn oath that this writing does not resem ble yours in a single letter ?’ * Yes, sir.’ * Now how do you know ?’ ‘Cause I can’t write.’ Two persons were once disputing so loudly on tho subject of religion, that they awoke a big dog which had been sleeping on the hearth before them, and he forthwith barked most furiously.
