Our old friend and former commander, Gen. Manson, was in attendance at the Democratic Nominating Convention held at North Vernon on Wednesday. We are pleased to return to the old gentleman

Such ia a brief outline of the career of Gdn. Manson, the Democratic candidate for Secretary of State. This is the gallant officer whom the radical press of the State traduce and slander, calling him a copperhead and traitor. What corn-stalk Colonel or stall-fed home guard can point to such a career as the noble Manson has. His every action is full of pure and exalted patriotism, lie has followed the lories of his country's flag from the Rio Grande to the cloud capped peaks of the Oriznbo from the placed border of our beautiful Ohio, to the tangled jungle and treacherous bayous of the Southern savannahs, manfully fighting the enemies of his country's honor. Will not our State honor her brave sons? We

November as an emphatic and substantial endorsement of his career.

RATS! RATS! RATS!—The Lancaster (0) Eagle reports that localities in Fairfield County arc much infested by Norway rats. Entire fields of corn have been destroyed by them, and in other instances acres were taken in a single night. Gardens suffer in like manner. They even attack and kill pigs, chickens, other fowls and small auimids. Many farms are said to be swarmiug with them. As many as five hundred have been killed on a single farm in one day, by the usual force on a farm.

DAVID NF.WTON, a soldier, who has been iu the poor house for the last year, was this morning furnished transportation to Albany, New York, where he has friends.—Evening Gazette.

We are glad to learn that the poor soldierhas friends in New York, as it seems his peculiar friends here don't show their gratitude worth a cent. The debt which they can never pay, don't appear to troublo them.

Shortly after the "surpassed, lioyakin, who has been reorganization of the regiment, Reynolds s'Jii'g in Salem during the winter, and I was made Brigadiei General, and xMan.son o'^ciatiug as pustor of the liaptist church I was promoted the Colonelcy. lie com-'

mended his regiment during the "three

put in Gen. Geo. II. Thomas' Division, and Manson assigned to the command of a Brigade. Thomas' Division then commenced ihe march on the rebel force under Crittenden and ZollicofTer. On the 19th of January, 1862, the opposing forces met near Mill Springs, Ky., and the conduct of Manson and the noble 10th Indiana became a part of the history of our country. For gallant conduct in that engagement, Manson was made full Brigadier in General Nelsou's Division. Between that officor and General Manson a warm attachment soon sprang up, and when Nelson was ordered to the defense of Kentucky he selected Manson to accompnny him. In Gen. Nelson's absence, Manson commanded the United States forces in Kentucky, opposed to the overwhelming army of Kirby Smith. A battle was forced upon Manson at Richmond, Ky., and, despite of all his efforts and the gallantry of our troops, Kirby Smith triumphed, and drove our army. Manson was then assigned to the command of the important post of Bowling Green, Ivy., where he remained until Morgan's celebrated raid into this State. The efficiency and ability with which Manson's command was handled contributed greatly to the capture of that daring rebel. Manson's command, now a Division, was at this time placed under Gen. Burnsidc, and entered East Tennessee. Every Indianian will remember the action of that command at Knoxvillc. After the battle of Mission Ridge this command was merged into that of General Sherman, aud commenced its "inarch down to the sea." At the battle of Resaca, General Manson was severely, and it was supposed at the time, fatally wounded in the head, by the concussion of a shell which disabled him for several months. During his illness, there being no prospect of his speed}* recovery, he offered his resignation, which, after some months of hesitation, was accepted by the War Department.

Night after night did this lecherous old ruffian satiate his infernal lusts upon liio powerless

some one had him arrested for debt just as he was going on board, but the matter was settled, and we suppose he has made his escape. We hope, however, that steps will be immediately taken to secure his arrest, if possible, in San Francisco, or any other place where he can be overtaken.

The Rev. W. F. Boyakin, whose exploits arc related above, was a chaplain iu the 30th regiment Illinois volunteers, when that regiment first went out, and pious to a degree, llis home is in Bellvillc, Illinois, where he has or had family living. He has probably had to leave the Pacific cost, and is doubtless in Illinois at present.—Chicago Times.

THE Frankfort Crescent tells the following on a Republican candidate in that county:

CANDIDATE IN A TIOIIT PLACE. Republican candidate for treasurer called at Mr. Foran's in the country. Mr. Foran boing absent at the time, he inquired of his wife if he had not been a soldier. She replied in the affirmative. The candidate said lie would like to see him. She replied that it was not necessary, as he didn't vote the nigger ticket,

THE Proposed Constitutional amendment simply subjugates .the- South and West to New Knglapd^ ...

SALKM, April 20, 1806.

"IUiv. W. F, Boyakin has finally capped the climax of his infamous and amorous career, by drugging two girls and debauching their persons. This outrage,

until the crime speedily

manifested itself in the appearance of the daughters. It was with difficulty that the lives of the uufortunate sufferers were saved, never, however to recover from the sufferings that Boyakiu's crime has brought upon themselves and the strickcd parents. "Boyakin cscapcd the just retribution prepared for him by the neighborhood by fleeing from it. 11c is supposed to have effected his escape on the Sierra Nevada, on her last outward trip. He is about fifty years of age with hair and beard gray, lie was guilty of sonv. impropriety in Salem last winter, while at the theater, and public indignation was quite strong against him, but the church of which he was pastor nestled him iu her lap and screeucd his unworthy carcass. "The family in which lie has wrought this ruin is one of the most estimable iu the state, and it is a pity that they gave such implicit confidence to a man about whom the world had rumored bad things, even if lie \Vas gray headed and a minister. But what is most to be regretted is that the Baptist church in Salem did not when his notorious conduct in the Salem theater had excited such universal comment, put its foot upon the monster and crush him, instead of giving him a passport into homes to blight and destroy them. "Boyakin was for some time editor, of the Corvallis Gazette, lie has perambulated the valley divers and sundry times, lecturing on loyalty and sambo. Last winter he was an esteemed and worthy correspondent of the Oregoni.au over the cognomen of "One of the Smiths." lie was a great favorite with the editor of the Statesman, who was eager to champion him. He Was a 'burnin' and 'shinin' light to the'Union' party,as well as in the church, lie was vci'y pious, loyal and lustful incessantly harranguingon politics and belaboring coppcrhcads through his favored medium, the Oregonian. "His services had been procured to stump Yamhill county for the 'Union' ticket the present canvass, and his untimely flight will be a severe loss to the ticket in that county."

are both amazed and grieved to

learn that the grave of the lamented Bollmcycr, in Woodland Cemetery, has been dcsccrattid and outraged by the removal of the marble slab which marked the resting-place of the honored dead. By whom the outrage was pcrpctratod, we are not definitely advised. We may state however, as a matter of public information that Mrs. Bolluicycr, the widow of the deceased, and by whom the stone had been placed at the grave of her departed husband, was officially notified, a few days ago, by the officers of the Cemetery Association, that the tombstone must be removed. She peremptorily declined to comply with this strange and unnatural demand, and so informed them. Friends of hers, who visited the Cemetery a day or two since, observed that the stone had been carefully removed, but by whom, or where it was taken, still remains a mystery.

The marble slab, thus clandestinely removed, contained the following inscription, which, though true to the letter, appears to have been offensive to some "intensely loyal citizens: "FKLL BY rnK IIANPS OF AN ASSASSIN,

A J1

AIlTYn TO THK

That such a deed should transpire in a comiuuuity like ours—where all had a right to balicvc that the repose of the dctid would remain undisturbed—is something that surpasses all our ideas of right, justice, or the dictates of common|liunianity. Wc do uot feci like giving full utterance to our scntimments on a matter like this just now, and therefore shall defer more extended comilients until another occasion. In the mcau time, we shall see whether there is any attempt made to defend or apologize for this daring and iuliumau outrage upon the resting place of the dead, and the holiest affections of the livi"°'

89 Si,

Tlic Madison Courier.

This paper is a true exponent of tho principles of the republican, pait} lie prefers the negro to the poor Germans. We do not know when we have read a paragraph that excited in us more indignation and contempt for its author than the following cruel insult to tho poor German immigrants who seek our shores. This is the true know nothing, republican doctrine it is the doctriuc upon which that party was formed in 1855, when Morton left the democrats and joined it. No such insult was ever found to the negro in the columns of the Courier. He says"We arc sad at the thought that some of those who come to our shores will be among the most corrupt and outlawry of Europe. They arc the roughs, the hards, the 'dead rats,' and the offscourings of Billingsgate, of Paris, of Berlin and Frankfort. They bring with them all their bad habits, their unyielding hearts, and almost uncivilized natures. They will necessarily be a power for evil, aud their breath will be as contaminating as the hot wind of the sirocco, and as deadly as the poison of the Upas.

Well may we ask how this evil is to be resisted, and made to result in good. The only direction we can give is, that every man, woman and child now in this country must seek to counteract this corrupt influence by all the moral power within them. The churches must stand like a wall of stone, and resist the deadly onsets of this host of corruption. The many of the emigrants who arc pcaccablc and imbued with a higher spirit must be encouraged, sustained, built up, and made to exert a holy influence over their countrymen.''

Another Anecdote of General Scott. The New York correspondent of the Boston Journal relates the following: "The term 'Fuss and Feathers,' applied to the old chief, grew out of nothing personal, for he was a man whose personal tastes were very simple. But he was very exact in his discipline, and he required every officer while on duty to be dressed according to his rank iu the minutest thing. General Hamilton, who was on his staff, related to me, the other day, a very characteristic anecdote. The General's headquarters in Mexico comprised two rooms, one opening into the other. In the rear room General Scott slept. One night, after tho General had retired, one of the staff wanted sonic water. It was in the front room. The evening was warm and the hour late, being near midnight. The officer started to go in his shirt sleeves. He was cautioncd against the experiment as a dangerous one, for if the General caught him in his quarters with his coat off, lie would punish him. The officer said that he would risk it that the General was asleep, and he would make no noise. He opened ihe door softly, and went on tip-toe to the water-pitch-er. He had no time to drink, before he h$ard the tinkle of the bell, and the sentinel outside "of the door entered. 'Take this man to the guard-house,' was the brief, order, and the coatle.ea officer spent the night on a hard plank under guard."

the Feeling at tlio South.

The following is an extract from a letter from an eS-officer of the United States Navy, who is now running both rice and cotton plantations in Georgia:

"When I decided to come out herd several of my friends asked mo if I was not afraid to trust myself out here amongthese malignaul arid uurcpeitting rebels. As I had not feared them during thtf war' 1 did not sec why I should now that tlio war is over. Sincc I have been here I have met many people who were in the! rebel army, and 1 have yet to sec tho first man who has said anything that any Uuiori man need take exceptions to. Both of my partners were in tho rebel army—one a captain and the other a fflajtfr—and tfctalk over the events of the war as coolly as if they had happened in France o'r Ger-1 many. I. feel as safe here as I would iit New England. My revolver is locked up iu my trunk, and expcct it will remain there. Savannah is as busy a place as" you can find in Yankee land. The gcridt'al fccliug of the South seems to be that they have had a sufficiency of fighting and of politics, and they are now going for hard work and money Every one that I have conversed with seefrfs d&irous to have Northern men and ciitcprise and capital come down here aud restore the' prosperity of the South. I have seen no ill-fccliug toward the Yankee."

UNDERWOOD.—The Richmond correspondent of tho New York World givesf. the following nclice of Underwood'#charge to the Grand Jury:

The sixteen jurors being all impaunci-"'. cd, the judge commenced to read, in aclear, but trembling voice, his charge to' them—and such a charge! I do not re-', peat it here, for the papers will give it ttf you verbatim. Suffice, jt to say it was never equaled by any thing iii the whole' annals of American jurisprudence, not even by the charge by the same judge at Norfolk. It fairly out-underwooded Underwood. The countenances of tho as semblage, during the delivery of this wonderful written document, were something worthy of the pencil of a Hogarth. Every sign of fnirth, from the half incredulous smile to the fully appreciative broad grin, were there visible. Learned lawyers sat listening with lifted eyebrows and mouths agape with astonishment tho wicked press gang punched each other hilariously in the ribs as each successivo popgun came booming against the press gentlemen sat pleasantly staring at each other, evidently trying to discover a likeness betWceu them and the savages of Mozambique and Scnagtarrrbia. The whole' thing—intolerable, vulgar and insulting as it was—was far too rich to 6'xcite an-' ger the one pervading feeling was incredulity and astonishment, mingled with pity for the exhibitor. The wicked animus of a Jeffreys was completely lost sight of in tho amusing bombist of a Buzfuz.

ALEXANDER II. STEPHENS ON TNS SITUATION.—A letter from A lexander II. Stephens, Esq., dated Crawfordsville, Ga. If)th instant, says: "I found all things in Washington, upon the whole, in as good condition, if not better, than I Expected. I have .not,, from the beginning, lookfed fot anythiirg from this Congress. My only hope fot the country is iii the next fall elections atfhc North. Should the I'resident'spolicy be sustained iti these, all may yet be well. If not, to me the pfospect of tlio' future for this country, North and South, is gloomy indeed. But from what I saw and heard at Washington, my hopes for a changc next fall were greatly stimulated. I am still hopeful iti this view, bui far from being sanguine. Constitutional liberty will, in my opinion, in a great measure depend upon the result." i.

CRINOLINE AND BAPTISM.-—At Detroit last week a rather amusing scene tools placc during the baptism of a young lady by the pastor of the Tabernacle. The minister requested her to assume the dress peculiar to such occassions, but she' declined to take off her hoop skirt tho minister told of the inconvenience that would result fiom her obstinacy, but, like a true female, she persisted but when she came to descend into the batlt the inflated skivt touched the water and/ rose up around her like a balloon. Her head was lost to the congregation she was swallowed up in tho swelling Bkirt» The minister then tried to force her flPown into the bath, but 6he was kept above the-: surface by the floating properties of crinoline, and was buoyed up so successfully that it was not until after much difficulty, and many forcible attempts to submergev the lady, that the minister succeeded ia| baptizing tho fair one, Finally, it was effected, to tho relief of the minister and tho seriously inclined audience, who.f could not keep from chuckling intheir^ sleeves and laughing in their pocketij handkerchiefs.

A. T. LAPSING, Esq., the able editor of the Bowling Green Aurora Uorealis has been selected to becomc a candidate for tho state legislature by his fellow citizens of Clay county. The card is signed "byseven teen names of persons who served four years in tho army. Mr. Landing has consented, to take the race subject tothe decision of the democratic conventioo.
