On one oaoaaiun, Noble w-a no oloae upon hi rad baolied friend, dial, unable lo gel op (ha maple tree, ha dodged us to a hole in (ha wall, ran through iba ehinka, amwrifed at a lit ilediatanoa, and prang into lha trra. Tha inianaa anihuaian of the dog al that hol, dan hard' he deacribed. He filled it full uf barking. Ha paw ed and toratohad at if umlfnnining a baalion.

Tlu n. with tail esiandad, and every hair i hereon electrified, he wot Id ruah at lha amply hula with a prudigioua on aleukia. Thin imaginary aquirrel haunted Noble ni(ht and day. Tha vary a uirral bimaelf would run up befure hta face into tha tra and, eruuehed in a arotoh, would ait ailantly watching lha whole proceaa of bombarding the empty hole, with great aobriely nnd reliah But uble would allow of no doub'.a. Ilia conviction that the hole had i iquirral in, continued uoihaken for aix weeka. When all other oceupatiuna failed, thia hole remained to him. When there were no more chiokena to harry, no piga tu bita, nu cattle to chant-, no children tn romp with, no rzpediiiona to make with lha grown füllt, and when he had alept all that hia dog akin would h ld, he would ana aat tita ptU iaa atrelch ht.-melf, and Ilten look wist fully at the hol-, aa if thinking to himself, "Wtll, aa there is nothing elae to do, I may M well try that hole again I We bad al moat forgotten thia little trait, until tha conduct of the New York Rxpten. in reaped to Col. Fre mont'a religion, brought it ludicrously to mind again. Col. Fremont i, and always haa bt-en, aa eound a Proleatant aa John Knox ever waa. He waa bred in the Protestant failb, and haa never changed, lie is unacquainted Uh the ductrinea and ceremoniea of the Catholic Church, and his never attended the aervicea of that church, with two or three exceptions, when curiosity, or aome other extrinsic raaa - . . aa a son, led hint as a witneaa. Wo do not state this upon vague belief. We know what we say. We aay it upon not own personal honor and pioper knowledge. Col. Fremont never waa, and ia not now, n Roman Catholic - He has never been wont to attend that church. Nor has he in any way. diat w r reell v or indirectly, given occasion for this report. Ilia a gratuitous falsehood, utter. btrren, absolute and unqualified. The story haa bM-n got up fr pu'i'.ical ner.r it ia ami circulate i lor mat reason, and like other political liea, it il A sheer, unscrupulous falsehood from lop to bottom, rem the core to the akin, and from the akin back lo the core again. In all its parts, pulp, tegument, rind, cell and tared, il ia a thorough and total untruth, and the) who spread it bear false witneaa And aa lo all the atoriea of the Kul mer, et., .is to supposed conversations with bremont, in which he drfendeti the raaaa, and what not. they ara pure fietiuns. They never happened. The authors of them are alandrera; the men lo believe them are diipcs; the men wbu spread them become indorsee of williul and corrupt lib (era. Uut ihe xirta, like Noble, haa opened on thia hole in the wall, and canlnever be done brkinir at it. '.Day. after day H resorls to this empty hole a When everything elae fails, thia re course remains. I hey are, imleUli gably the ßxprtt and Noble a church without a Fremont, and a hole without a aquirrel in it ! In aome repecta, however, the dog had the advantage. Bomeiimta we thought that the he really beleived lhat there waa a aquirrel ihrre. But at other times he apparently had an inkling of the lidiculousneaa of his conduct, for ha would drop hia tail and walk toward us with his tongue out and hia eye a lilik aalant, seemin r to aay, "my dear sir, you don't understand a dog's feelinga. I ahould of course much prefer a squirrel, but if I cun't have that, an empty hole ia heller than nothing. I imagine how would catch him if he waa there.--Besides, people who pass by do not know the facta. They ibink lhat I have cot something. It il needful to kevp up any reputation for aagaoity. Besides, to tell the truth 1 have look ed into that bole so long, that I have half persuaded mj sell lhat there ia a aquirrel there, or will be, u I keep on." Well every dog must have hia day and every dog muat bava hia way. No doubt if we wen to bring back Noble now, after two aummera' absence, he would make straight forthat hole in the wall with just as much seal aa ever. We never read the Expriu now-a-days, with out thinking involuntarily, Goodness! ibe dog is letting off at that hole Again." .at - m a a a

At Hom. Aua 16, 1866 Hii ipnoh -thi Tirol Whit to Abolition! - Am Alf araation Pitt firm of 49 - Anglo Saxin Slavery Hon JoaiPK A- WaioiiT Sia; I m induced 0 address one or two III lera to your Exoellenoy, in reference lo the questions now Aglutlng thi pub lie mind. In so doing. I shall obarva the reaped due your official character, and il attorda ma real pleaaure to aay that your in I uairy as an officer, your leal for lh ad vatic of agricultural in'ereaia, your firm adheaion to lha Prohibitory law, coupled With your hospitably and benevolence a a eiilaen, have caused m to feel much reaped for you personally You have found occasion to remark that th oountry now preaenta an appearandol deep exoiiemani unknown in our history. Tbia, r-ir, ia an unquestionable troth. Then is deep lewling, and wher unto it may lead is hard to predict, (rod knows that proopecta ara gloomy enough. Yet our glorious old ship of Stale haa weathered many a gall and still ia seaworthy. I sunmit, ulr, if you have not over drawn thedangera aurrouading aa. In aome of your speed ea? If you have nut lasen greatly mia-atated, ;ou have apokvn of the party to which you are opposed, as seeking, or if not seeking, consenting to, tha destruction of the Union. You surely, air, have not forgotten that in 1844 ihese men constituted tha large majority of our volar. Wen they all traitora? Do all the men- the oooo men who aland in thoae ranka design (hi destruction of tha Union? Ar they traitors? They must be if they held thi sentiment you attribute to thorn, or alee tbey an fools. It really oeiura to oil that a more moderate and lese denunciatory tone would better comport with your high office. Yon an the Governor of TRI raopii; do not be their traduoer. You know that the men you lifts denounce are good men and true, that they auatain law, pay taxea, in abort, discharge all duties devolving upon good eitifoos. Tbey an not dtsunioniala ihe charge that they an ia a moat aeandaloua falsehood. Yon have been betrayed, sir, into such statemtnts, not intentionally, but by being so much engrossed in your official duties that you have taken your politics from partiian journals and Us)Traaatool apowehoa. One word, air, as to tha propriety of your coming down from your official chair to the level of Tom Walpole as a slump declaimer. It doei not took well. It doea not look im partial. Yet we all admit than waa a neceaeity for you to make a few apeeohea Our Hon. slave-holding Senator, Mr. Bright, it ia known, waa not eery friendly toward you, and rather sought to injure you by weakening the confidence of the people in your loyalty to the party. Hence it waa naoeaaary for you to show that you wo'd support Douglas, Atchinaoo, Piere dt Co., thitt you would endorae Willard, let him lead where he might, you would swallow him with his new Bank and all. But thia has been doue. Your "speech" has been before the publio some time you are on the reeord the people all know it. Tbia being ao, it really appears that, to finish your business as Governor, wilt fully employ your time. It ia alao thought that your etyle, aa Sydney Smwb said of M cauty'a would bo "greatly im troved I y a few brilliant nasbes or atence." As this letter is preliminary and general, I will ask you if yon will be kind enough to explain what is meant by the word Abolitionist?" This is a word of vast reproach among your papers aud speakers, and ia tome timaa employed by yourself. If il is meant by tue term that all Republicans endorse the doetrines of Garrison and others of lhat school, then none know how utterly falae it ia better than yourself. You are also aware that the assertion that "Republ cans" design to iaterftre with alavery In the Stalee ia baajleaa and Baitthat then is no shadow of truth in auch chargea. You know alao that when such charges arw made ngainit the men whose money furnishes your bread, that those who make them know they are unfounded, but design lo "cajole" ignorant men. Again, your Exctllency is well aware lhat the Republican party atand upon no higher ground upon this subject than the Democratic party occupied in 1849. You remember the glorioua anti-slavery Jeffereonian plank how proudly you atood upon 1 1 how defiant your treaddon't you remember how you atood upon it pad spoke of "our immutable principles?" Ah, Governor, bow doet it happen that what waa good democracy in '49 ia vile abolition in '66? Your friend Larraliee was reckoned An Aboliti mist of ihe first water when at üreencaatle. but he ia all right he swallows Willard and Buchanan, and publisbea a paper for tha abuse of Methodist ministers, while he himself ia the only man in the State whose name ia in th "effective" list of ministers who is a eandidate for any office. Do you not know, Governor Wright, that we stand where you stood in '49? Then what makes us Abolitionists? Will you say, aa some do, it means thoae who believe in amalgamation? Tben.it means Southern slave holders, their sons, and in aome instances their davjlttert, for they are praetioal araalgamationiits. You know, sir, there ia now as much anglo-aaxon blood in slavery as African f If it doa not mean that, what then? Leaving you to frame your answer, I here close my first letter. ISAAC RIGHT. N. B. I hope the similarity in our names will produce no confusion. I am satisfied there ia no relationship, and you perceive I am Right without I wa theW. I. R.

Barling trai at Ortiaiburf h AwnsaaoviLLa, Ian., Aug 1.1. Wa had tha good fortune to hear this great champion of freedom, speak At Gnensburg on tha Ath inst., and must say he eolipoed anything we v. er heard. He spoke at great length, and so eager waa the large euneourse present, to hear lha words of burning eloquence fall from his Hps, that they did with gnat nluetanoe, let him deBiet, after speaking aome three hours, in a strain of impassioned eloquence, that no living man, we think could exeel. He paid a eery handsome com

pliment to our talented, and worthy Representative, and people's favorite, Wat. Craaaor. He aaid he waa one of the flneat debaters he ever heartland did more to elevate Banks to the Speakers Chair, than any other man in tha House, except Colfax of this State. And that Cumbaek and Col fax wen the champions in that protreated euntasl, that Cumbaek waa a man, that could not be bought waa true to lha will of his eonaitueota; and he alneenty hoped, lhat lha vo ten of this District would send him to Congress for tha next twenty yeere. Wall, we are assured they have made arrangnmanta to rend him another term, at least, tnd would be governed afterwards, by eircumatancea. Burlingame did not refer in hia apeeolt to tha Brooke affair. Hi displays none of tbo bra.aducie. but on the contrary, the high-toned and honorable gentleman, avers to the barbarous praotiee of duelling, only under the most extreme circumstancea. The flashing of the eyee when animated, indicated grit that would cower before friend, or foe. Of this "Bully Brooks" might have been bean assured before be sent the ohalange. We hope he will never consent tout bimaelf up again, aa a mark, for any ohivalroae gentleman to shoot at. Though when they expect tha oonteit to be equal, they an not ao anxious for a hostile meeting aa soma might suppose, or ihey would try to make appear, by tbeir fin-eating, and btusterina manair. "Two Slus. and a Bullet." eoming with a twist," aimed with an unerring hand would be rather dangeroue arliolea to face. Burlingame'e apeeohea, will have a powerful effect, wbenver he may go. He said it waa no use to aend apeatura to Indiana; it waa all right, from the enihusiaam, and determination be witneaaea where ever be goea, It oan't, he aay, be otherwise. The Old Linen are troubled now a days, with what Old Hunten uated to term "Buck-ague." eauaed by tbe perilous situation of Old Buok. The continued drouth will undoubtedly, cut the corn crops eery short in thia aection. Why don't the Republican Candidates of Franklin, visit Old Posey. Come op here Gentlemen, ao that we may see. the kind of men, who are going to be elevated to office thia fall. The Fillmore men muat be "crasy in tbe head," to talk about him being President. We will aaaert that Fillmore will get the vote of "nary" State. Buck will get the vote of ihe Slave States, and Fremont of the free States, and wilt be our next President, provided the South will submit to his inauguration. REPUBLICAN. Too Old to Say His Prayers. I think 1 hear aome of my little rca dere exclaim, "1 thought we never could be too old to pray." You are right, dear children: but listen, and I will tell you about little Willi, who used to think that be htd got too old to pray. He waa a bright little fellow, five yean of age; be once had a dear kind mother; but ahe had died two years before, when Willi waa only two years old' and now he had no mother. One evening when his father waa away from home. I offered to put him to bed. When he was undressed, and about to get into bed, I aaid, "Willie, don t you aay your pray ers?" "Not now." h replied; "I used to ay then every night and morning when dear mamma was alive, b it fath er dont hear me say them any mor; I expeot it il because I am getting too old." Poor little Willie, how I pitied him; he bad a praying Christian mother, who taught him to lisp bis infant pray ers; but now when that mother had L'one borne to heaven, and be moat needed ihe oare of hia heavenly Fath r, he thought he was too old to aak the dear Saviour to take care of htm and bleaa bim 1 I hope none will ever think they are too old to pray, beery niirbt ar.d morning kneel down and thank God for all he haa done for you, and cape cially for giving hie eon to die. Ask him for Jesus' aake to give you a ne heart, and help yon to love and serve him, tbat you may be happy (orever. t7Ailo" Pap. Indiana. We confeaa to have held Indiana aa a doubtful state, till van recently. But if we do so now, it wil be against all the evidence before us. The political excitement runs very high there, and all private statements agiee lhat tbe tat will go lor rtt mont. To our minds, the Iowa eleo lion it entirely conclusive oo that head. It is a sort of weather gauge of wbat is coming. 1 be entire North west will, in our ootnion. ro for Fre moot by very heavy majorities. Otn OattUe.

Thi Duty of aa ratrioaa Scholar to Polttioe and thi Times. George W. Ourua, the author, dalivered graoeful aad eloquent oration no Tuesday, befure tha Literary Societies of vVeaUyan Univeraity, Middletown, Connecticut. The following ia one of the opening paaeegoa :

i ne occasion preaerinea my tnemi; the limea determine ita treatment. That tlo me is the Scholar; the leason, of the riuty of the: Ameriean aeholar to politic. i would tladly apeak lo yoa of the charms of pan eholarehip; of the dignity and worth of the aehHar; of ha abatract relation of lha aeholar to the Bute. The sweet air we breathe aad the repose of mid-aummer invite a ealm eihieal or intellectual diaeouree. But would you haea counted him a friend of Greeoa who quietly discuss ed the abstract nature of patriotism on lhat Greek Summer d y through ho hopolees and immortal hours Luonidas and bis three hundred atood at Thermopylae for liberty ? And to-day aa the aeholar meditates that deed, lha nir that steals in at hia window darkens bis study and suffoeeteo him aa he reads. Drifting across I continent and blighting the harveste .l a. ta a ia. a t m . a . mat gnu it wun plenty irom tn Atantio to the Mississippi, a blaek eloud obscures the paar that records an old crime, and compels him lo know that freedom always haa its Thermopylae and lhat Thermopylae ia called Kan Ml. Because we an scholars of to-day, shall we shrink from touching thi in terests of lo-day 7 Because we are scholars shall we eease to be citnens ? Because we are scholars shall we cease lo be men ? Gentlemen, I am glad that, speak ing or the duly of the American scholar to the times, I ean point to on who fully understands those du.1 a a. Ml . , . as... lies ana nas uiusiraiea mem as Milton did. Among fellow -country men that so holar falle defending the name and rights of hia countrymen, and one cf those countrymen etaree at him aa he el insensible, and will not raise him est his motives be misunderstood; and another tons bis back upon hie bleed ing eollegtt, because for two years he haa not been upon speaking terms th him. Gentlemen, the humane heart is just, and no traitor to human ly escapes bis proper doom. Sac re I history hands down to endless infamy the PrTest infl tn Levite who passed by on the other side. Amo.ig gentlemen this scholar pleade the cauee dear to every irentleman in historv. and a bully strikes him down. In a Republic of free men, tbia aeholar speaks for Freedom, aad his blood atains the Senate floor. There it will blush through all our history. That damned spot will never out from memory, irom tradition, or from noble m kl I SO aa hearts. JSvery scholar degrades his order, and courts the pity of all generoua men, who can aee a just liberty threatened, without deserting every other cause to defend liberty. Of what ose are your books? Of what use is your scholarship? Without freedom of thought, there ia no civil isation or human progress; and without fnedom of speech, liberty of thought is a mockery. I know we 1 tbat a conventional prejudice consecrates thia occaaion to dull abstraciiona and timid, if not treacheroue generalities. It would al ow me to speak of the echolar, and of the American soholar, in hia rela tion to Greek roota and particles, but would forbid me to mention his dutiei to American topics and timee. 1 might speak of him as professor, or dialeotiiian, a dictionary, a grammar, but I muat not speak of his as a man I know that a literary orator is held to be bound by the same decencies that regulate the preacher. But what are those decencies ? Is the pnscher to rebuke the sins of Jerusalura or of Philadelphia ? Ia he to aay in gene ral, "be good," when he sees in what fiartioular we are bad, and counsel sienoe and peace when silence and peace an treason to God and man ? Are the liars to cry to the preacher, "it ia tint vnnr hua noaa In dnmtnr. a a aw awoww j aw wwaiwvra v tsoHvwuvv ying. we pray you to preach against sin7 out tbe preacher a Master cued "Woe unto you Scribes and Pharia r . m m a sees, hypocrites, lor ye devour wio owe' houaea." He specified aim and classified sinners. In our day the hot adjuration to a clergyman not to eoil hia pulpit with politics is mer ,ly tbe wav in wLich the nineteenth crntury offers him the thirty pieces of eilver. What an politics but the Divine law applied to human government ? Politios are the science of the relation of men in human society; and as the founder of Christianity taught peace and good will to men, how can the Christian preacher better fulnll his office than by ahowing how peace and good will may be introduced among men, and by exposing in all tbe trrror of truth those whose policy fosters war and hatred among men ? Why does tbe pulpit command so little com parative respect, but because it does not apply truth to lile ? When the Araricao people has great sins to ac count for, the smooth preacher touches with tbe dull edtre of his reproof thr sins of the Jewish people. Therelore with us the lecture room is more thronged than the Church, because the lecturer addresses the monl sense of the people upon tbeir moral interests, and ihe most popular lecturers are the preacher who are moat faithful in their pulpita to God and man, for their cause il one. What is irue of the preacher is true of the ontor. I should insult your manhood, I should torget my own, if, in addressing you to-day, I did not say what I conceive to be the duty of the aeholar to-day and hen. 0" The Hollanden of Grand Rapids, Mich. , have formed a Fremont club. fJ3r A Vermont colony leaves Kansas on tbe 18th of August. for

Personally, I know him not; but I have nad the hialory of hia life, and believe him to be a man as much marked out by Pnvideneo for the present exigency of our nation at Washington waa for that of our American Kwvolulion.

This unwilling admission from the Organ goes to conSrm oar previously expressed opinion tbat the friends of Fillmore and Buchanan intend to play a bold game which will open the eyes of those who now think "Fillmore is as safe for Free "KansAs as Fremont."

Th Hussas or FosTsarrT A little boy near Hargeretown, in Maryland, waa ono day pointing oat to me a copse of trees as the place where Washington, at the head of the Virginia Rangers, fought a battle, long before ihe revolution, with some Indians, headed by French, from Fort Duqueose, near Pittsburg. The tittle fellow had aome balla of lead which had been fired in lhat battle, chopped from the centres of the now maaaive and aged oaks. I saw the sunbeam of some moral emotion was in hta eyes; and I asked him further of Washington, the brave youth who had led the Virginians into lhat thicket when the war whoop shook its boughs, and the rifle rung through ita gloom. His mind aeemed to glance like lightaing through ihe illustrious deedk of arms m which Washington had engaged, tnd settled down atthe scene af Yorkaa a a "" t town, lie tola me oi one circumstance; aaid be: "When the British troops were marohed out of their entrenchments to lay down their arms, Washington told the Ameriean army, "Mv buys, let there be no insults over a conquered foe ! when they lay down their arms, don't hussa; potttrtiy vill hutta for you F I could have hogged the little boy to my bosom. Although be bad beea sble to read but a short time, yet his mind bad drank deep in the moral greatness of that act which spared the h llings of s fallen foe. I asked him what it was posterity would do: ue answeretl uuickiv. "huaxa t "Hum, then," said 1, and he sent his clear wild shout into the battlewood, and I shouted with him. "Hus sa for Washington !" Honesty and frost. The following pleasant anecdote it from "Glances and Glimpses," a new book by Dr. Harriet K. Hum, who was once a teacher in Boston: "A cousin of mine in Charleston, having passed away, it became proper that 1 should attend her f'ineral. It was school afternoon; I dot not dis.niss the scholars, and, aa they always disliked a monitor, 1 hit upon ihe following plan of leaving them: I placed in my chair the large old fashioned slate, wrote on it the name of the scholars in the order in which they sat; arranged the needlework and reading for I always had some inter esitng work read aloud by some elder pupil every afternoon, and then said, "Now, children, when the clock strikes live, leave your seats orderly, go to my chair, aud place oo tbe slate, by each of your names, a anil for good behavior, and a cross for bad. When I ntarn I shall anxiously look at the slate, and in the morning when you are all assembled, I will read the list aloud that everything may be confirmed. But I trust in you !" Oo my return I visited the school room, and found but one cross on tbe slat, aad that where I least expected, it hap pened to be ihe name of a beautiful, open, bright, brave ohild, who then promised much for ihe world the fact of her having rich parents being a k s a a iter greatest dnwoack. She was the last child in the school I s hould havöl thought capable of any misconduct. Well, the next morning came; tha Hat was read, it proved truthful; but when I cAme to thia name, I aaid, "My dear ehild, you must explain: why U this? what did yon do?" Looking up to me with those soalful eyes, end speeking with a soulful tone, which ever mod her an object of sacred internal, she replied, "I laughed aloud; I laughed more than once; I couldn't help it, because a slate waa keeping sehooll"
