flcnry . Wilson.
From the Sacratueuto Union we cull
the following concerning Hon., II. C.
Wilson the ltqulliean nominee tor
the Vice Presidency.
Henry Wilson is the enior of Mr.
Colfax by eleven years. Hat his fine
constitution and excellent habits keep
him at the age of sixty still in his in
tellectual prime, and physically ablo to
stand up under any amount of labor.
Brought up to the age or 15 or 18 on a
farm in New Hampshire, he went to
Xiaticfc, Mass., and learned the trade of
a shoemaker. In 18 40, at tho ago of
28, he was elected to the Honse of Rep
resentatives, where he served for four
years, developing talonts for speaking,
and w hat is much better, for executive
business. After this he served four
years in the State Senate, and was for
two of the four years President of that
body. In 1852, Wilson became the
Freesoil candidate for Congress, and
failed of election by only 92 votes,
though the party with which he acted
was 7,000 in the minority. He was a
member of the State Constitutional
Convention in 185t5. In 185!i, and
again in 1854 he ran for Governor of
Massachusetts on the Free soil ticket,
end each time defeated. The State had
not yet lost it3 complete loyalty to the
Whtggery, which at that day was quite
conservative on the negro question.
The events in Kansas in 1851 and '55
ripened Free-Soilism in New England,
and the Legislature in 1855 elected
Wilson to the United States Senate
as the successor of Edward Everett, who
resigned his seat Ho was re elected
to the Senato in 1850. In 18G1 he
raised a regiment of Massachusetts vol
unteers (the Twenty-Second) for the
war, and was made Colonel of it. He
joined the army of the Potomac, then
under McClellan, and that General ap
pointed him on his staff, where ho
jseryed.till Congress met in December
of that yesr. Since then he has been
a prominent member of the Senate,
wielding great influence. He has for
over ten years been Chairman of the
Military Committee, and has done more
to reduce the army to its present eco
nomical standard than any other man in
the country. Wilson, himself a man of
the people, rising from poverty, and by
dint of industry and talent placing him-
pen very mgn m the social and political
scale, has voted and acted, go far as iqlB"'9 M&hJ w? a 7i
JiXJiijmirAUMtiuiuLiJsm
Iiavo observed his course, like an hon
est man in full sympathy with the com
mon people. He is not scholarly nor
polished in his manner, but courteous as
becomes an American citizen, emiuenU
ly practical, possessed of a vigorous un
derstanding, aud not at all given to
what is ornate or high sounding and ex
travagant in politics. He is tho j warm
personal fricud of Sumner, but probably
uo two Senators were ever Ie?s alike in
uientul idiosyncracies. Sumner is
nothing if not rn extreme theorist and a
sententious speaker. He dresses up his
speeches as tenderly as did Moore his
lyrics, and never dismisses the consider
ation of any subject which has dignity
enough to claim bis attention without
searching for all its occult bearings aud
impracticabilities. Wilson contents him
self with such an understanding and
explanation of any subject as will satis
fy the common people. The one works
for what is best for the present and to
honestly earn a good reputatiou ; the
other for the future aud to win the
laures of posthumous fume. We think
Wibon will bring more strength to the
ticket than Colfax could have brought.
Hp will make a good Piesideut ol the
Senate, and in case of accident, a good
aud sale Executive.
Heeciiku on tub Darwinian
Theory. Henry Ward Deeeher, in
the course of a recent sermon, thus ex
pressed himself in regard to the Dar
winian theory : " It is of little conse
quence to ine where I came from j it is
of a great deal of consequence to me
to know where I am goiug. There are
a ;reat many ami at the present day in
vestigating the road which has brought
man up 10 the prosed state, ana 1 cou
f'ess to a curiosity in the matter, aud I
Co not say that these researches in the
matter may uot be of beuetit. I regard
the labors of Mr. Darwin with profound
interest, believing that the world will
in lime accord him a great deal of
credit. Although I am not prepared to
accept all his speculations, I thank him
for his deductions of facts. I da nut
participate a particle with those who
dtcad'thb idea of man's having sprung
from some lower form of existence ; ail
that I ask is that you show me how I
got clear from monkeys, and then I am
quite satisfied to have had one for an
ancestor titty centuries ago. (Laugh-U-r.)
Only make the distinction great
enough and I am content. I had just
as leave spring from a monkey as f rom
some men I know of round hero. I
look upon tho Patigouians or the miser
able, crawling Esquimaux, aud I do not
see much to choose between them and
my latent animalhood. I don't care so
much about that thing, for I have
never been there. I had no early asso
ciations a great while ago. I have not
the least recollection of what happened
a milliou years ago. All my life is look
lnij iorwaru
t 1
I want to know where I am
ittw nir '
I don't care where 1 came
from."
Atples. At a recent meeting of
the Wisconsin Horticultural Society at
Madison, Mr. Marden spoke of tho ori
gin of the apple as bein from the na
tive or wild apple, which was found
growing over a wide extent of country,
and by its cultivation the improved ap.
pie was produced. He said of 48 varie
ties which he had traced, 20 were pro
duced in North Carolina, and ten in
other Southern States, and the re
mainder were scattered over the other
States ; and that these 48 different va
rieties were known in different localities
by 138 different names; one, the Nick-a-jack,
having 38 names. llo said Mr.
Finlayson had taken a step in tho right
direction by planting seeds of the crab,
which was kuown to be hardy, and by
selecting those which prove to be good
and by aco ntinuance of this plan he
thought there could bo as good hardy
apples produced here as anywhere ; he
spoke of the fact that 20 years ago tho
South was destitute of ; home-crown
J winter apples, that the varieties which
: . . - 1 .
were wiuici irun wuen grown in me
North, were summer and fall fruit
when gtown in the South, on trees from
Northern nurseries. Hut by raising
seedlings of their own, tho South now
had good winter varieties.
That stauch bourbon Detnocratio pa
per, Wabash Valley Times, says :
The Greeley journals are now more
busily engaged in denouncing Voorhecs
than they ever were in denouncing Re
publicans. Vporhees was a Democrat
when one-half of them were Republi
cans anyhow, and now shows that his
principles are not of so light a caliber
as theirs. .. .
We furnish the Republican and
A Hall Carrier who was uot a Male Car
rier.
About four months since a trim, rosy
looking boy applied to Col. Pendergrass
of the Globe hotel, mail contractor be
tween this place and Perry ville, for tho
situation of mail carrier on the route.
The colonel, pleased with the lithe and
supple figure of tho applicant whose
avoirdupois seemed commensurate with
the powers of the ordinary postal horse
or mule, struck the bargain ; and Hillie
Ueed (the name given by tho boy); held
up his little hand and swore to do all
kinds of possible and impossible thiols
with the love-letters, garden seeds, P.
D's, &c, that might be entrusted to fcis
care as a U. S. official not liable to be
drafted into the army. I
Hillie made his first trip in excellent
time. Herr Friedrichs smiled sweetly as
the uj ail bag came flying into his window
an hour earlier than usual; and the Col
onel, after looking at his mules back to
see that it was not rubbed,patted Hillie
on the head, and as a reward for his in
dustry promised to let him sleep with the
Globe's genial boarder, Capt. Dickjlvers
of the court-house. Hut this part didn't
work well ; for iu the morning Capt 1).
informed the landlord that he wanted
him to take that boy out of his bed, in
asmuch as said boy slept with his clothes
on and rolled himself up into a! knot
Hillie also complained of Capt. D' snor
ing. In consequeuce, they thereafter
wooed tired nature in their own separate
apartments. j
Hillie continued his avocation for
about two weeks when he suddenly dis
appeared; but after a short absence re
turned to the maiUacks, and continued
on the route until a few days ago,; when
he again turned up missing. Hut the
mail must go. C1. P. started his .on
Johnny, who, when near Pattoii, dis
covered tho absconding Hillie leisurely
walking down the road in company with
a young tuau. Johnny rubbed his eyes
to make sure that it was Hilly he saw ;
for since he had last played marbles
with Hillie, the tatter's personal appear
ance had undergone a wonderful change
Instead of the black slouch hat,1 was a
:ay Dolly Varden ; the coat had
merged into a loose sack, and th bree
ches had magically diappcarcd jin the
bright folds of a gingham dress, from
the collar of which flashed a respleudant
breastpin. In a word, Hilly was herself
again, a charming tittle maid. The
story is soon told: While out riding
near Perryvtlle, a lew days previous,
?he had been discovered by her brother.
He prevailed on her to stop the 'male"
business, and con;o down to Jackson
with him. Wednesday night she quiet
ly folded up her boyhood's clothes, as
sumed a more graceful attire,, and, with
her brother, silently stole awayj
She was born in Holtinger county,
and was early left an orphan. Her
name is Mary ,T, Sherwood, aged about
sixteen years, and is quite a comply lass.
Mr. V armor, near Millcrsville, took her
to raise ; but after
remaining a
short
time, she went to live with tho widow
Valentine Knott's, whence she so mys
teriously disappeared as to arouse sus
picions of foul play, now happily allayed.
Husiness matters she conducted with
scrupulous honesty, and her name is
unattended with the shadow of reproach.
So well did she manage her disguise,
that not the slightest suspicion was en
tertained by any of her real sex.
Jackson (Jb.) Cask Booh.
A Submerged City, j
The St. Augustine (Fla.) Press fur
nishes the following :
Duriug the heavy gales which pre
vailed last fall, the tide on one occasion
was driven so low in. tho INorth river
that a remarkable discovery was made
bout seven miles north of St. Augus
tine, on tho west shore of tho North
river, the remains of an ancient city
were discovered. The parties who have
given us the information aro ' ready to
conduct any one who desire it to the
spot. Several wells, walled in with eo-
QUloa, aro now visioiu unuur water ,
but the foundations of the houses can
be only felt with a pole. On this occa
sion of the discovery, t gale had prevail
ed for four or five days from the north
-driving the water out of tho river to
an extent never before known. Futher
investigations have also brought to light
a cobuina quarry on this same site ; and
what is the most remarkable, the quar
ry is in the midst of a dense hammock
and which any one can see tow, by
taking the trouble to go there. The
rock ig of aquality equal to ony'onAn
astasia Island, and the quarry has been
extensively used, doubtless far the pur
pose of building this city or settlement
for one or the other it certainly was.
The question which naturally arises
is, by whom was this settlement made
by natives of this continent or Euro-
peans ? All histographers agree that
Ponce de Leon, a companion of Colum
bus, in his second voyage, first touched
on this New World at a point three
miles north of St. Augustine, This
would have brought him within four
miles of this, city or settlement, which
ever it might have been. Say ttiey, one
and all, uhe found the natives fierce and
implacable." Hut, at thin period
1512 all history is silent, and we hear
nothing more of Florida or of America
until 1520 when Narvaez arrived on
the westerc or gulf coast. Who will
solve this mystery? Perhaps it may
throw light on the history of America
hitherto concealed. For let it bo re
membered that St. Augustine was the
first city settled in America. Our city
is stilled thronged witlf visitors. There
may be sonic among them curious
enough to search into the history of
their couutry ; or, at least, curious
enough to gratify their owu curiosity.
There aro pleasure boats in plenty in
the harbor, and at this delightful j?easou
we would suggest that a trip to the
North river only seven miles could
be accomplished in a very short time
wind and tide favoring which our
" pleanure yacht fleet" perfectly com
prehend. Who will go to solve this
about which we ourselves desire all the
the information we can obtain?
A Secret How do you do Mrs.
Tone, have you heard that story about
Mrs. Ludy ?
Why, no, Mrs. Gad do tell it.
O, 1 promised not to tell it for all
the world ; no, I must never tell on't.
I am afraid it will git out.
Why, I'll never tell on't as long as
I live, just as true as the world; what
is it. come tell.
Now, you won't say anything about
it, will yon ?
No; I'll never open my head about
it; never, ope to die this minit.
Well, if you will believe, Mrs- Fun
dy told me last night that Mrs. Trot
told her that hr sister') husband was
told by a person who dreamed it, that
Mrs. Trouble's oldest daughter to;d Mrs.
Nichens that tier grandmother hoard
by letter, that she got from her thirl
isis-tcr's oldest brother's step daughter,
that it was reported that the captain of
a clamboat jut arrived from the l eejee
Inlands, said that the mermaids about
that section wore sharkskin bustles,
stufled with pickled eel's toes.
Not DeaT) Yet. It seems that our
historical stnd fascinating friend, the
great Sea Serpent Snake, is not dead.
He has been seen again, and this time
by Capt. McTaggart, of the good ship
Kent of Liverpool, on the west coast of
Africa, between Cape I almas and
Grand Hassa. On the evening previous
enormous shoals of fish of every descrip
tton, including sharks and porpoises,
surrounded the ship, and the next
morning his snakeshtp was seen .with
his great head out of water. Ho was
apparently 200 feet long, and his tail
was like unto the tail of a mackerel, and
so was his color like unto the said fish
He traveled at a rapid rate, but kindly
stopped a few moments white the cap
tain examined him. It is supposed the
fish seen in such numbers the evening
before were fugitives from the jaws of
this hungry and devouring monster.
A Dolly Varden. This is one of
tho newest descriptions of a Dolly Var
den : The starboard sleeve bore a yel
low hop vine in full leaf, on a red
ground, with numbers of gay birds bad
ly mutilated by the seams,flying hither
and yon in wild dismay at the approach
of a green and black hunter. Calvary
Mission infant class was depicted on the
back, tho making up of the garment
scattering truant scholars up and down
the sides and on tho skirt; while a
poultry fair and a group of American
hunting dogs, very badly demoralized
by the gathers, gave the front a remark
able appearauce. The left sleeve had on
it the alphabet in five different langua
ges. There was throughout its delibera
tions tho very best of, good feeling and
harmony in tho Republican National
Convention. When Mr. Colfax received
the ballot for Vico President he immo.
diately sent back word to his friends :
" Men are nothing ; principles every
thing; I cordially indorso tho nomina
tion of Mr. Wilson for Vice President."
At the same time the Indiana delega
tion received a telegram of thanks from
Mr. Wilson for the generous manner
in which they had smothered their
personal disappointment aud ratified
the choice of the convention.
