With the Lope of being instrumental in gaining information for a most un fortunato young lady we publish the following letter from Miss Martha lioul den, I’ulaski, Tcnn., wbioh appears in the Citizen of that lowd, and hope that some of our Tennesseo friends, here abouts, may be able to relievo her dis tressed anxiety : I desire to ask your assistance, and that of the Southern press generally, in finding a loved and lost parent and a most affeotionate and devoted brother. My father, IdeDjamic Bonlden, was a sohool teacher in the county of Coke, in Eastern TeDnesse, and was known as a rebel. On account of his honest oon viotion in favor of Southern independ ence, he was driven home, and his family robbed of everything" tney had The last we heard of him be was in North Carolina. He is a native of Charlotte county, Va , and made this his home during the latter part of the war, but I have written to postmasters and others in both States, and have not been able to hear anything whatever from him. My brother (Thomas) was a rebel soldier, and was wounded in the left shoulder at Port DoDalson , he came home, and after getting well, join ed Capt. Wash’s company, was made first lieutenant, and served during the war. After the surrender, he came borne and remained there quietly until June, when the same demoniae spirit drove him away, which prompted an East Tennessee Union mob, to wbieh Kuklux or even devils (forgive me) are saints, to rush my poor old father away from his helples family, aud then rob them like insatiate fiends. My brother went to school at Sand Hill, North Carolina, for a while, but the last we heard of him he was in Georgia After waiting and watching and praying for their return, O, ever so many weary days and weeks and months, with no ti dings, no friends to help us, and no ties to bind us to our once loved home, we moved to Giles county, and hope by the grace of God and the assistance of friends to make out some kind of liv ing until their return or tidings of some kind reach us from them. My father and brother were each six feet high, and of fair comjdexion. Father was an affectionate and devoted man to his fam ily, and was himself beloved by all that know him. His smile was the joy of my own young life; hts bonn'y supplied my wants, and his love strowid my path with fljwcrs. llow justly may I say my happiness lies buried with him if he is dead. I have a blind mother, two sisters and a brother hete. Wo are in a helpless condilijD, destitute of all of the comforts of life—among strangers, without friends or money. If you can have sympathy for a family in this con dition, please assist mo in finding the loved aDd lost once. I cannot write more. Bear with me and help mo if *you can. Mautiia Bouldkn. Duiiit'l Webster’s Friglit. No situation more perfectly paves the way for a hearty laugh at the end, than that of two strangers obliged to be to gether and in mutual terror of each other. Nothing caa be more comically unccmfortallo than a couple of honest men eyeing each other askance an hour or two, when all the time “one is afraid and the other daresn’t.” Upon one occasion, Mr. Webster was on his way to attend to bis duties at Washington. He was compelled to proceed at night by stage from Haiti more. He had no traveling compan ions,, and the driver had a sort of felon look which produced no inoonsiderable alarm with the Senator. “I endeavored to traoquiUze myself,’» said Mr. Webster, “and had partially succeeded, when we reached the woods between Bladcnsbnrg and (a proper scene for murder or outrage.) and here I confess, my courage again deserted me. “Just then the driver, turning to me, with a gruff voice asked my name. I gave it to him. “Where are y u going?” said ho. Tbotop’y was “to Washington. 1 am a Senator.” Upon this, the driver seized me fer vently by the hand, and rxclaimed, “llow glad lam ! I have been trem bling in mv seat for the last hour, for when I looked at you I took you to be a highwayman.” Os course, both parties were relieved. A French lady returning from Ha vana# carried with her a negoboy, for whom she very tenderly cared. One day Batnboula said to bis mistress;— “Papa told me when I was big I must kill you and carry him all your money. I’m going to,kill you, but I shan't go back to him, for he would take all th# money away.” Batnboula is on his way home. Napoleon fa’s horse meat <^dy. Graut un a Financier. A few weeks since we published an account of a little business transaction in which President Grant figured as a principal, wbioh transaction, althouh creditable to his sharpness, was soaroely likely to add to bis reputation for hon esty and fair dealing. Like Messrs “Dodson & Fogg,” he showed himself to be a keen practitioner where his own interests were affeoted, and, like that il lustrious firm, also, ho showed clearly that any trifling scruples on the honor would not deter him from attaining his objeot. The matter we allude to was the agreement te sell his house, in Wash ington, to Mr. Bayles J. Bowen, the present Postmaster of that city, for the pleasant little sura of $40,000. Con sidering that this house was a gift, and consequently cost him nothing, the speo ulation was not a bad one, and the sum realized should Lave been eminently satisfactory. So thought the President at the time, and the prelim : naries for the transfer being agreed upon, the sale was looked upon as a bona fide transac tion. Now comes the interesting part of the story. Hardly was the agree ment concluded betwoenGrant and Bow en,when along come somo friends of Gen. Sherman, then appointed Oomman* der-in Chief of .the Armies of the United States, who desired to Beonre the house for their principal. Os course President Grant informed them that the house was sold, and that they were somewhat too late. Bat they must have the mansion, and would give $60,000 for it. Ah, here was a horse of another oolor ! Twenty thousand dollars was not to bo thrown away on account of any mere scruple of honor or integrity! Certainly not! Forgetful of the words of the immortal bard, “He who steals my purse, steals trash ; but ho who steals mine honor,” &0., the present immaculate oeeupanf of the ex ecutive chair agreed to throw Bowen over, and let Sherman have the proper ty. liowen’s rage can be imaginedj and his protest against this violation of a good faith was at the same time made public. Finally, however, Bowen coc sen'ed to reliegnish his claim. Short ly afterward he was appointed Postmas ter at Washington, although his appoint ment was in opposition to the wishes of very many of the friends of the Admin- ■ iitration. But Bowen had the whip hand, and lie must be appeased. It is now stated that contrary to the true in terests of the people, and con’.rary to the desires of the better class of Radi cals, who were pressing a Mr. Robbins for the office, Bowen received this ap pointment as a reward for, and as a con sTjuence of, his relinguishing Lis title to the residence ol the President, to whioh he, otherwise, insisted upon hav ing. Docs this not present tho hope, the joy, the idol of Radicals in an un enviable light? Further comment ie unnecessary. In dealing in real estate, in Washington particularly, commend us to less exalted personage*, unless, perhaps, an office is coveted. This is inded a story with a moral ! —Albany W (N. Y ) Argus. Do you iiike tlie Kespsiisibitily The moral of the following anecdote is not bounded by its temperance ap plication. Who cares to take the re sponsibility of leadmg any one intoony wrong doing ? A young man had been sadly intem perate. He was a man of great capac ity, fascination and power, but he had a passion for brandy which nothing could control. Often iu his walks, a friend remonstrated with him, but in vain; as often, in turn, would be in vain urge bis friend Jo take a social glass. On one occasion the latter agreed to yield to him, and as they walked up to the bar together, the bar keeper said, — “Gentlemen, what will you have ?” “Wine, sir,” was the reply. The glasses were filled, and the two friends stood teady to plodgo each other in renewed and eternal friend ship, when bo paused aDd said to bis intemperate friend “Now, If I driuk this glass of wine and become a drunkard, will you take the resptonsibility ?” Tho drunkard looked at bmi with severity and said — “Set down that glass.’* It was set down, and the two walked away without saying a word 0, the drunkard knows the awful consequences of the first glass! Even in his madoess for liquor, ho is not willing to assume the responsibility of another becoming a drunkard. Why is a fine specimen of handwrit ing like a dead pig ? Beoauseit is done with the pen. Eleven hundred persons in Eng’and pay a tax for keeping in their household mor* than ten mal* »«rvant». Tattlers. The disposition to pry into the priva cy of domestio life is, unfortunately, very oomruon, arid is always dishonorable, tho appetite morbid, rod the indulgence of it disgraocful. A family have a sacred right to pri vacy. In guarding the delicate relations of the household, seereey becomes a vir tue. Even if by ohaneo tho privato af fairs of a household are laid open to a stranger, honor would require him to turu from them ; and, if a knowledge of them -were forced upon him, they should be locked in sacred silence. A double ob ligation of silence and leoreoy rests upon one who is a guest in a family. The turpitude of a betrayal of family histo ry by a visitor is far greater than theft would be. It is a thing so scandalous, that it should degrade a person, and pat him out of sooicty. To betray the secrets of the household is not only an odious immorality, but it is a sin and a shame to be on good terms with those who arc known to commit such outrages. They put themselves out of the palo of sooie ty. They should be treated as moral outlaws. These hungry eyed wretches who sit in the unsuspicious circle of parents and ohildrn, treasuring their words, spying their weakness, misinterpreting the in nooent liberties of tbo household, and then ran from boase to house with their shameless news, are worse than poison ers of wells, or burners of bouses. They poison the faith of man in man.' Make no terms with suoh people. Tale bear ers have no rights. They are common enemies of good men. Hunt, harry, and hound them out of society. They are the worst of pests save one, that is tho listener to the tale bearer. There oould be no tattliug if there were no one to hear. It takes an ear and a tongue to make a scandal. Greedy listening ij as dishonorable as nimble tattling. The ear is the opon market where the tongue sells its ill-gotten wares. Home there are who will not repeat again what they hear, but they are wil ling to listen to it. They will not trade in contraband goods, but they will buy enough of the smuggler for family use. These respectable listeners are the pat rons of tattlers. It is the ready mark et that keeps tale bearing brisk. It is a shamo to listen to ill of your neighbor. Christian benevolence dem'andd that you do cot love ill news. A clean heart and a true honor rejoice in kindly things. It should be a pain and sorrow to know of anything that degrades your neigh bor in your eyes, even if he is your en emy ; and how much more if ho is your friend ? * The Scriptures say, “Thou shall not go up and down as a tale boarcr among thy people ” “A tale bearer revaaleth secrets; but he that is of a faithful (hi n orable) spirit, oonoealeth the matter.”— “The words of the tale bearer are as wounds that go down into tho innermost parts of the belly.” The Hebrews thought that the affections had their seat in the bowels; and by this phraeo, “go down in’.o the innermost parts of the belly,” they signify how sharp aDd exasperating to the deepest feelings of our nature are the oruel offioes of a com raon tattler “Where no wood is, tho fire goeth out; so, where there is no tale bearing, the strife oenseth.” As if he had said that so much of the strife of society arises from tattling, that, if that were cured, there would hardly be any cause of quarrel left. Commend ns to that religicn which mikes a man humane with his tongue, and honorable with his ear.— Home Journal. llow Graut Loves the Soldiers. President Grant’s affection for the soldier is notorious; so deeply and fond ly does he love these brave warrieis who wero tho means of elevating him tathe position which he now occupies, that he is now unwilling that they should bo contaminated by contaot with the politicians who abound in our postoffices and custom bouses, and so removes them from positions which they hold in these and other government offices, all over the country. How exceedingly thoughtful this is, and what a fatherly interest be evinces in their moral wel fare ! Unfortunately, however, for the temporal w elfare of these displaced sol diers, they relied entirely on the posi tions which they held for the bread they ate, and their removal by the one who should be their best friend is likely to occasion much misery and suffering among them. These are among the survivors of the great civil war, whose serviocs, as womtnti>ucd yes ercay, Lave been almost forgotten, and their olaims are fast being ignored Gen Grant, however, should be the last man to furget them, lor it was by the sacri fice of thousands of lives such as these, luat he sucoeeded in gaining the noto tie’y wbioh has been so useful to him. A uselett' sterifi :e, in m»ny instances, VOL. IV.—NO. 19.1 it was; but he succeeded in attaining bis objeot, and what matter*# the de struction of a few thousands store or less, or what matters the .claims which these men have on him now ! He does not now n*«d the support of the soldiers although during the late campaign he did, and the most brilliant promises were made to thorn. In every part of the country publio indignation has been aroused by tho removal of soldiers from positions to whioh they had been ap pointed by the last administration, and which they were, it is said, in every way capable of filling. From Buffalo oomes a wail from the Radical press on aooount of the removal of several well known ex-army officers from the cus tom-house in that city. These men, the Buffalo paper say, were oapable and bad always attended faithfully to their duties. They certainly had claims en (be prev ent administration, suoh as nono but the most ungrateful of manKind, would ignore;hut their services are not now required, their day iB past, and the man whom their bravery, and that of those like them, has elevated to ■ position which dizzies him, and which he prom ises to disgrace, oares nothing for them • Republics are said to be ungrateful, hut tho ingratitude of an individual whose brain has been turned by sudden eleva tion is comparatively more disgraceful and saddening — Albany Argus. Sherman’s “Captures" in Georgia. A Washington correspondent says : Application was made yesterday to tho War and Treasury Departments by two United States Senators from Southern States for the recovery of oertain valua bles, silver plate, spoons, etc., formerly belonging to the families of these Senar ators and supposed to he among the val uables captured by Sherman’s Army in its “march to the sea.” The boxes containing these valuables had been seDt to the Treasury Department by the War Department for safe kcepirg, and are in the custody of General Spinner. United States Treasurer. One of these boxes was opened yerterday, and to-day another, and thoroughly exam ined, the oontents found to be watches, diamonds, silver plate, laces, etc., very valuable. The only article found be longing to the Senators mentioned was one silver spoon, having thereon the initials of one of these gentlemen. The representatives of the departments are in a quandary as to the disposition to bo made of this property, but it is suggest ed that it can be disposed of as captured and abandoned property. Why not “tell the truth and shame the and 1” at once, by calling it stolen property and property obtained by high • way robbery ? Look at the inventory above—“watcher, diamonds, silvei plate •poons, and laces,” —pretty subjects tor capture by a great army engaged in tho noble task of “saving the Union!”— This property was stolen or taken away by foroe from unprotected Georgia fe males by a brutal soldiery, many of the diamonds having been wruog by vio lence from the hands of females, and in no sense can they bo considered “aban doned property,” exoept that they were stolen by abandoned men. As there seems to bo some doubt as to the best mode of disposing of these trophies, wc suggest that the only honest way is to send them back to Georgia and let soma officer of the government advertise a descriptive list and call for the rightful owners. And this the government will do if it is not as mean as Butler Lim ao\f.—Savannah Republican. Little Freddy, who, through parental indulgence, has grown of household tyr anny, but is nevertheless, oonstraioed ti hold to the use of such polite forms of filial civility as “Yes, sir,” and “No sir,” rcoently same to the breakfast ta ble with clouded brow and a general air of discontent. “Have some batter, Freddy ?” asked his father. “No,” was the sharp reply. “No what?” asked the father with some emphasis. “No buiter,” answered the unyielding Fred. Two Bears in a Hoube.—l onoo heard a gentleman say that a bapppy home must have twiJjoars in it. That surprised every one who heard it. Who would live with two bears in the house? But tbo gentleman explained it. To have a happy home you must have two bears in it; you must bear and forbear. Remember that. Causaya Bark—lt is said that Messrs. Drake & Cos., (proprietors of the Plantation Bitters) are the largest importers of Calisaya Bark in this coun try, and that, with the exception of an occasional sale, all they import is used in the compounding of their celebrated I Plantation Bitters, —to wbioh they undoubtedly are indebted for their won derful health -restoring properties.
