Th© I’rhom iN at Fort war ren-Stephen* allowed more Liberty. There are now but five prisoners at Fort Warren. Vice-President Steph ens for the last ten days has been re leased from close confinement, arid is permitted to walk wherever he pleases in the fort, between loveille and re treat, and even ascend the ramparts. He is always unguarded, and seems to appreciate his release from his dun* geon. Another prisoner is Mr. Ilegan, the late Confederate Post Master General. A third is Charles Cheshire, formerly one of the Supervisors of Brooklyn, New York, who is in close imprison ment for frauds perpetrated in the re cruiting department, his sentence be ing six months imprisonment and a fine of 320,000 His cell is so situated that lie can sec from his window the whole interior of the fort, and he was soon recogniz ed by acquaintances of the 71st. A fourth prisoner is a British Captain, a blockade ruuner, and a fifth, a party who refused to take the oath of alleg iance. Rcgaaf is allowed to take an hour’s walk each day, attended by a guard. — ’■Boston Traveller. The anti-war democracy of Ohio held a State convention in Columbus •on Thursday, and nominated for Gov ernor Alexander Long, and for Lieut. Governor Clinton A. White, The resolutions adopted were of a strong sovereignty character, denied the right -of the national'government to compel their submission, and op.-, posed emancipation, negro suffrage, military courts, suspension of the writ habeas eorpus, a public debt, na tional bank* and paper currency, — - A Hcrrible Tragedy. Hartford, Conn., Aug.. I. A horrible murder was discovered i\t daylight this morning, at the vil 3*ige of Oakland, in the town of Man - Mrs. Benjamin Starkweather, aged forty-six, and her daughter Lila, four* *een years old, were found chopped to death in their bed. The blows which were inflicted with axe, severed the skull every’ time, **nd the bodies presented a horrible Siiifht. They were also stabbed in many places with a butcher knife, which, together with the axe, has been found. A son of Mrs. Starkweather, named Albert, twenty-four years of age, is being examined to-day by the Hart ford poliecc, and suspicions are enter tained that he committed thdMiorrible deed. A sum of money, less than S4OO, was found in his drawer, together with the knife. He first gave the alarm, and both his own bed and that of his iinother were found on fire.— The daughter, when found, still breath ed, but died in ten minutes afterwards. P* —'The son has confessed. Judges of Probate and Clerks of CtHi fs Reinstated. Gov. ’Marvin, (it will be seen by reference to his address) has affected arrangements “whereby persons oc> cupy’mg the offices of Judge of Pro bate may continue to# take proof of wills., and issue letters testamentary and of administration, and Clerks of Circuit Courts may take the proof or acknowledgement of deeds and mort gages, and record the same as hereto fore I—Monticello 1 — Monticello Frithd. .Yew* from Mississippi. The work on the Mississippi Cen tral Railroad is progressing rapidlv, and will probably be completed and in operation by the first of September. Gov. Sharkey has issued a proclama tion calling on the people to form two companies in -each county, one of cav. airy and the other of infantry, for the purpose of restoring older and putting a stop to the frequency of frauds and robbers. Who Shall be Trusted. The Houston (Texas) Telegraph answers the question, “ Who shall be trusted politically/’ very pointedly, and, we may add, very truly. It as serts there are two classes of men in this country, and two only who have any claim to respect, as honest and pa triotic men, and who may be trusted in the difficult and delicate work of establishing the civil government of the States. The avowed Union men, <who have been known to be Union men from the beginning, and the Avowed secessionists or war men, who saow frankly admit that their pro > gramme was a failure and that it is the duty of all good citizens to support the government of the United States. — These classes of men, though widely different in their respective political eourses heretofore, have been and are now sincere and earnest men. who have followed and suffered for their eonvictions. A man who has earnest convictions, and stakes his life and his all upon their defence, can always be trusted. These twa classes of men. equally honest, as proved b > ? their risk and sacrifices for their principles, are now united in a common purpose restoring order and prosperity to the country, in obedience to the govern ment cf the United States. There is not now a single difference of opinion between them. Thev differ as to the •/ past, but not as to the present and fu ture. They may dispute as to wheth er the Confederacy should or should not have succeeded, but they do not differ as to whether the Union ought or ought not, now, to be re-established. On that point there is harmony. Os another class, that journal mild ly says : Those who took neither side of the struggle, had no earnestness of conviction, nor no principles, made no sacrifices and never will, are entitled to neither the respect nor trust of either of the other classes. Self, and not country, has always been their worship, and always will bo. ■ - ■ —— • i To Aquire a SScautiftil Form. Take abundant exercise in the open air-free, atractive, joyous exercise, such as young girls—when not restrain - ed by false and artificial proprieties are wont to take. If you are in the country, or can get there, ramble over the hills and through the woodlands; botanize ; geologize ; seek rare flowers and plants; hunt birdnests, and chase butterflies. Bea romp, even though you may be no longer a little girl. If you are a wife and a mother, so much the better. Romp with your children. Attend also to vour bodily positions in standing, sitting, lying, and walking, and emplov such general or special gymnastics as your ease may require. Live, while indoors, in well-ventilated rooni3; fake sufficient wholsome and nourishing food, at regular hours; keep the mind active and cheerful in short, obey all the laws of health, ’fake a lesson from the English girl, as describ ed in tine following extract: “The English girl spends more than one half of her waking hour in physis j cal amusements ; that is in amusements which tend to develope, and invigor ate, and ripen the bodily powers. She ride®, walks, rows upon the water, runs, dances, swings, jumps the rope, throws the ball, hurls the quoit, draws the bow, keeps up the shuttlecock, and all this without having it forever impressed us>on her mind that she is thereby waisting her time. She does this every day, until it becomes a habit which she will follow up through life. Her frame, as a necessary consequence is larger, her muscular system better developed, her nervous system in subordination to the physical, her strength more enduring, and the whole tone of her mind healthier. She may not know as much at the age of seven o teen as the American girl ; as a gen eral thing she does not, but the growtli of her intellect has been stimulated by no hot house culture, and though maturity comes later, it will last pro portionally longer.”— Hints towards Fhys ica l Perfect ion. A Sirocco in California. The weather has been very warm throughout the-State. In some places the mercury is reported as high as 120 deg., in the shade. Santa Barbara had been visited by a “sirocco. ’’ The gazette, says : Friday, 17th June, will be long re membered by the inhabitants of Santa Barbara, from the burning, blasting beat experienced that day, and the ef fects thereof. Indeed, it is said that for the space of thirty years nothing in comparison has been felt in this county, and, we doubt, in any other. — The sun rose like a ball of fire on that day, but though quite warm, no incon- j venience was caused thereby until 2 | o'clock P. M*, when suddenly a blast of heated air swept through our streets followed by others, and shortly after wards the atmosphere became so in tensly heated that no human being could withstand its force; all sought their dwellings, and had to shut doors and windows, and remain for hours confined to their dwellings. The effect of such intense and unparalleled heat was demonstrated by the death of • calves, rabbits, birds, &c. The trees \ were all blasted, and the fruit, such as pears and apples, literally roasted on the trees ere they fell to the ground, and the same as if they had been cast on live coals. But, strange to say, they were only burned on one side — the direction whence came the wind. All kinds of metal became so heated that for h mrs nothing of the kind could be touched with the naked hands. The thermom eter rose nearly to fever heat, in the shade. Near an open door, and du ring the prevalence of this properly called sirocco, the streets were filled with impenetrable clouds of fine dust or pulverized clay. Since writing the above we regret to announce that the sirocco was not, as we hoped, local; but that Los Angeles was visited the same day by similar blasts, and more intense, if possible, than were experienced here; and that not only the fruit trees are injured, but the vineyards are reported as near ly destroyed. The general opinion that the cause is fire in the mountains is now abandoned, and the belief is that there has been a volcanic eruption in the southern portion of this State. New Advertisements.
