jaws® nma. lira. ex-Dr. Woodhull, now Mrs. Blood, tho acknowledge*! leader of' the Woman Right’s movement at the North, publishes a card in the New York t . One of the charges made against me is that 1 lived in the same house with my former husband, Dr'. Wood hull and my present husband, Colo nel Blood. The fact is a fact. Dr. Woodhull being sick, ailing and inca pable of self-support, l felt it my duty to myself and to human nature that he should be cared for, although his incapacity was in no wise attributable to me. Mv present husband. Colonel Blood, not only approves of this charity, but co-operates in it. 1 es teem it one of the most virtuous nets of my life. But various editors have stigmatized me as a living example of immortalitv and unchastity. My opinions and principles are sub- Sits of just criticism. I put my sell fore the public voluntarily. 1 know Ml well that the public will criticise me ami my motives and ac tions in their own way and at their own time. I accept the position. 1 except to no fair analysis and ex amination, even if the scalpel be a little merciless. But let him who is without sin cast his stone. Ido not intend to be the scape goat of sacrifice, to be off ered up as a victim to society by those who cover up the foulness of their lives and the feculence of their thoughts with hypocritical mouths of fair professions, and by diverting public attention from their own in iquity and pointing the linger at me. I know that many of my self-appoint ed judges and critics are deeply tainted with the vices they condemn. I live in a house with one who was my husband; 1 live as the wife with one who is my husband. I believe in spiritualism ; I advocate free love in the highest, purest sense, as the only cure for the immortality, the deep damnat ion by which men corrupt and disfigure God’s most holy institution of sexual relations. My judges preach against free love openly, practice it secrctlv. Their outward seeming is fair; inwardly they are full of “ dead men’s bones and all manner of un cleanliness.'’ For example, 1 know one man, a public teacher of eminence, who lives in concubinage with the wife of another public teacher of almost equal eminence. All three concur in denouncing otfences against morality. “ Hypocrisy is the tribute Eiid by vice to virtue.” So be it. ut I decline to stand np ns “ the frightful example.” I shall make it my business to analyze some of their lives, and will take chances in the matter of libel suits. I have no faith in critics, but I be fore in public justice. Victoria C. Woodhull. Ifew York, Saturday*, May 20,1871 Killed iiy^LiglMitng. On Monday* last, Mr. James W. Hamilton was struck by lightning and instantly killed while standing on bis wagon in front of old Johnny Hawkins’ residence, about a mile South of Sturgeon. He, with several Others, had been fishing at Silver's Fork during the day, and he had brought a load of wood back with him. They had all stopped at Mr. Hawkins' about 5£ or 6 o’clock, and Mr. Hamilton’s wife was going to get on the wagon and l idc home with him. .Lewis Keeler, John Hawkins, and several women and children were within a distance of forty feet from the wagon on which Mr. Ham ilton was standiug upright The sun was shining brightly from the West but a small black cloud was coming up indicating a shower. John Hawkins had a gun on h : s arm, and was near Mr. Keeler’s wagon giving him some gnn caps. An axe was sticking in the load of wood near Mr. Hamilton, when all at once a flash, accompa nied by a terrific crash, burst from a small black cloud, and Mr. Ilamil ton was seen to throw up his hands, raise about two feet above the wagon, and fall to the ground a corpse. On picking r.p the body his hair was found to lie burned to the skin, his neck dislocated, and both feet disjointed in the instep. His hat when first seen after he was struck was about thirty feet in the air, and coming down, the crown of which was torn all to pieces. His shirt and right leg of his panto were literally split into ribbons, and all the front of his right boot was torn ass. On Tuesday morning the face was of a dark purple hue, like it might have been bruised. The axe was pefectly black, and the tire of one of the hind wheels of the wagon was knocked nearly off and the felloe was injored. Mr. Keeler was knock ed against his wagon, by which he was standing, and the young man with the gun woe knocked down. All the others were severely shocked. The horses to Mr. Hamilton's wagon were knocked down, and one of them bad to be helped up— Sturgeon (Mo) Loader. There is an energy* in the keeping of boarding houses in Arkansas quite unknown elsewhere. The proprietor ©fa private hostelry in a town of that State, having heard frequent complaint from his boarders about the regular recurrence of hash, pre pared himself to crush the rebellious spirit. At the next morning meal he placed two revolvers beside his plate, and remarked, “Whosoever says he doot like hash lies.”—He then began distributing hash, and no m»n de cliow* it. Memorable Methodist Picture. From a letter of Bishop George F. Fierce, in the Southern Christian Ad vocate, we exact the following des cription of wluit is doubtless destined to become a famous historical pic ture. Those familiar with Mr. Wesley’s Journal will rcmoinlatr that he made several visits to Eredcrica on St. Si mon’s Island. It is reported, and the fact is well authenticated, that he preached at one time under a live oak, one half a mile from the Fort. The grove is magnificent, and the age of the tree is beyond question. Broth er F. desired to have my father as the oldest effective minister iu our connection, and myself as an officer in the church, shall 1 say in the regu lar succession—our succession is good as any if not better—and tree, with its surroundings, photoprnphed. Fortunely Bishop Wight man on in vitation was able to join us, and so the chinch people will soon be fur nished with a picture hallowed in the memories that cluster about it and somewhat remarkable in its combina tions. Here we have, in vision, Oglethorpe and his colony—-the first settlement in Georgia—the mission of the Wesleys to the Indians—a grand old tree under whose branches they preached one hundred aud thirty-five years ago—an aged man, fresh and vigorous after the toil aud hardships of sixty-seven years in the itinerancy—his son in the flesh ami iu the gosjK*l, and a bishop just from the field of conflict—pausing long enough amid these scenes of the past for tho sun to paint their likenesses. The artist, Mr. Kiddle, was well sat isfied with his negative. How the picture will look when finished up I cannot tell. I judge the likeness will be distinct enough for recogni tion ; the scene, front and background is fine, and any little defects will be atoned for by memory and associa tion. 1 hope the picture will sell for the benefit of the struggling incmlier sbip at Brunswick. A School Boy’s First Love Let ter.—“l never wrote a letter before, and don’t know just how to begin it; but I know lots of boys who do write letters to the girls, and I’m most as big as they are. Tommy Jones said he had got a letter from somebody; I teased him to let me sec it; in tak ing it from his pocket it fell into a mudpuddle. I was never so tickled in 1113* life; but lie cried like every thing. 1 like you real well, for 3*oll are a Democrat, and Old School Bap tist, and have ben to the city. I saw 3011 at church last Sabbath. You have anew bonnet. I like new bonnets ; and some time 3*oll know, I shall get you anew bonnet almost every day. I shall learn to build houses, and 3*ou can wash the dishes and make pan-cakes. I like pan cakes ; don't 3*ou ? I don’t like mo lasses a bit; it is real nasty stuff. I hope 3011 don't like it either, for I shall not have a bit in*our house, and it wouldn’t look well to quarrel about molasses; and I wouldn't strike a gill when she’s a woman ; when I get some money I’m going to buy you some cologne; I shall turn some out for me, so when I come to sec 3*oll I can perfume 1113* handkerchief. I can’t write any more now. The school ‘man’ is looking this wav. Yon sec she don't know what true love is. If 3*oll haven’t any paper, I’ll give you a leave out of my new reader. “John Brown.” Curliforitfa, A San Francisco correspondent of the New York Times gives the fol lowing gloomy picture of the condi tion of Ca* lifornia, which if true, is an excellent State to emigrate from- He says: “We arc having very hard times indeed ; very many people arc leav , ing us. returning to their old homes cast of the Rocky Mountains. This dry 3’ear has broken up many far mers ; provisions arc very high ; in 1 fact, the only tiling that does not tumble down is what we are obliged to have—something to eat. Our ber ry season lias come round again; strawberries are twent3*-fivc cents for two pounds—cheap enough, 3*ou will think ; but then flour, from which we make the staff of file, bread, is $8.50 a barrel; potatoes two cents a pound for old and three for new ; sweet po tatoes five cents a pound. The com mon necessaries es life are high, labor scarce, and money hard to get hold of. You can see the laboring classes must be very bad off. As I have said before, this is a very poor coun try for cither farming or stock-rais ing, as the grain to feed the farmer and the grass to feed the stock both depend on the rain, which often fails to come when most needed.” How He Disposed or Ills Colton. A few days ago a gentleman re lated to us an instance of how one of his neighbors disposed of his cotton crop. He loaded his w-agon and start ed to market, a distance of twenty or more miles, and halted at a neighbor ing grocery, in sight of his own resi dence to get a drink. He tarried un til he was induced by his own incli nation or persuasion of others, to en gage iu a game of cards. The game continued all da3*, that night, and un til the next da3*; the cotton wagon aud team awaiting the result. When the game was over the cotton planter returned home on foot, minus cotton, wagon, team and all, which had been won by his opponent. —[Opelotttat (Louisiana) Journal. Beware.

The Atlanta Constitution gives an account of the reception of Ex-Presi dent Davis, who arrived in that city on Friday evening last, and was con ducted to the Kimball House, where he was most cordially greeted by a vast number of Indies aud gentlemen. He was introduced to the multitude, who thronged .the space in front of the hotel, by General Albert Garling ton in an appropriate address : Jefferson Davis then came forward upon the balcony amid loud and con tinuous applause ami*cries of “cheers for Jeff Davis. Mr. Davis said that he thanked the audience for this testimonial, which lie considered as not paid to his mer it, but to their worth. No people had ever proved as devoted to a fal len chief as the people of the South. They* had engaged in the last war fare to battle for the same principle contended for by their revolutionary ancestors, the right of communal in dependence or State sovereignty. He denied that the rights of the |)eople hail ever been submitted to the ar bitrament of the sword. No one could delegate that right; as their chief Executive, he had never sub mitted it, nor would he ever admit it. He alluded in terse and glowing terms to the historic fame of Geor gia, from the days of Oglethorpe to the present. Georgians h.**d proved true to their glory in the revolution, in 1812, and in the last conflict. If the people of the North had recog nized the truthfulness and fidelity of Georgians when they* gave up the contest, they would never have con sidered it ncccessary to put them un der guard. The world could not fur nish bayonets enough to make a Georgian prove more faithful to his obligations than his own oath could do. Ho would accept nothing. lie would admit that Power was iu the ascendancy* over Right, but he never would admit that he had done wrong. No one could compel a 113* one to be lieve that they were guilty of wrong, if they were innocent. He had shaken hands with politics, and advised the people to be quiet and wait for the hour of deliverance. That hour would surely come. Galileo was compelled to recant, 3*ct after tho signing lie remarked, “aud yet the world moves.” The world ' moves. Right and Truth and Principle would prevail. The surest way to regain our rights was to act quietly—sub mit to the laws, but 3*et yield up no principle. The people of the North under stood their rights ns well as the peo ple of the South, and would never consent to their surrender. We must look to them to bring about a change which would establish the guarantees of liberty upon a firm foundation. He did not counsel them to regain their rights or contend for them b3* the red hand of war. He trusted re porters would report him correctly on this point, lie would die believ ing that the hour of deliverance was at hand for the South. lie said that the first time he visi ted Atlanta, it was in the woods. The next time it was a heap of ruins—the act of vandalism that even exceeded the act that disgraced the fame of Turcnnc—now he was pleased to see that it had grown to a large and magnificent cit3*. It was an evidence of the greatness of a peo ple that defied fate and rose superior to its decrees. He had given up politics, and now had taken to Life Insurance. He hoped to insure their lives for a hun dred 3*ears. Modern Suicides. —Suicide now-a da3*s rival each other both as novelty in the manner of “s’luflling off and in the reason for the foolish act. A man in Harrisburg, Pa., recently went to a secluded spot and banged himself because a wheel came off the wagon he was driving through the street. An Illinois woman made the unpleasant discovery that her hus band had another wife, and she imme diately closed career with a pistol ball. Her husband, who was at the time in prison for the bigamy, when lie heard of the event, swallowed all the miscellaneous articles within his reach, comprising a box of hooks and eyes, a bottle of hair dye, a brass breastpin, several pieces of glass, six vest buttons, and a small pen-knife, lie still lives, but may die yet from indigestion. John Kelley was convicted last week at Dawson of complicity in the Ames Circus tragedy; Soon after conviction, he, together with his brother Charles, who was found guil ty of the mnrder of Oxford * at the March term, succeeded in escaping from the Jail. The excitement in Dawson is said to b« very great. Old Hartford Lives I J. P.
