The aatuo measure paased tho House with few diasenting vote, aud i now the law of the State. Thia aotiou of th Legislature is but a reflection of the confidence every where felt iu the administrative and executive ability or Mr. Cumback, and called the attcntiou of tb people of the State to him aa tha next Governor of Indiana, a poaition .that bo would undoubtedly fill with credit both to himself ami the commonwealth. Mr. Cumback'e aocial qualities are auch aa to disarm prtjudico, and win him tha cordial esteem of all with whom he is brought in contact. He is an earned friend of education, and a liberal aupporter of our institution of learning. Hi attachment to tho Sunday-school is evinced by the fact that be usually teacbea two largn Uible wliiea each Sabbath, ouo in tha Presbyterian. Sabbatlwchool in the morning, and tho other in the Methodiat Sabbatb'svhool in tho afternoon. Aa a popular orator Mr. Cumback has but f'ow equals. He ia a vigorouaand perspicuous writer, and possessoa a fioo flow of quiet bumor and poetio fancy. Some of bis poetio effusiona, especially hi song, entitled, "Pray, O, pray for tue," have obtained a wide circulation. Hut it ia bia symmetrical ChrUtian cUaractor that would commend to the young mou of our country aa worthy of their imitation. Aud it iaa hopeful aiirn of iba times that, iu the midxt of our National peril, the mind of our rcoplo turn to such tueu for direction, and look to tbeui a leader. A TROUBLESOME OEAU.

A Real Romance. ucATtiorA rrtufsiAN Mont.KM an'm hon. Ftoia the Nsw OrUacn l'lonjens , Oct. II. Since the closo of the late war many startling revelation have been mad iu regard to the identity of p'tivate or subordinate otllccra in both armies. The sou of riublcmcn, it is now known, fought uumurmuriiigly by th aide of Ith commonest and moat illiterate ptivate. Men whoe eurly days, it uuy le, wero spent in some old castle, and whoso fathers prided themselves upon u grand, unspotted auceotry, endured in fstiguo and fought with splendid bravery for cauc in which they had no iutcrcst. Family quarrel, early dissipatiou, or sometimes disappointment in love, were the csu-es which led to this voluntary exile fiom home and kindred. Seeking oblivion in tho tumult of an urmy.ai.d happiest when earth trembled to tho thuudor of artillery or squadrons met in lieu Hung deadly chitrgc, those strangers, fighting not lor glory but for that iejio!o which is found only iu tho grave, have illustrated some of the bright est p'tes of our history and excited the wonder of those who only saw stern, dettrmiued couutetianco, but lead uot tho tumult that was raging in beurta that bout beneath the uniform of bluo or gray, The death of Charles O. Sachow in thi city, September 20,. ha brought to light another of these tad stories, intertwiued with which ia a thread of romanco that givce it an additioual iuterest. Sinco tho death of Sachow, who even rbeu dying relu.ied to tell hi true natuo or to give auy clu to bia history, Geueral Mower ha received a communication from a gcutlcman in St. Louis, who signs himself Valdemur Johuaou, late Vice Conaul at Matamoras, Mexico, who, after making ioquirio concerning the death of "bia friend," and j desiring to ibo informed as to hisplacoof burial, aud iu regard to any iucidents con nected with hi death, states that tho decoaxed is au intimate friend of bis, and studied juriprudenco at the aamo university, lie believes himself to be the ouly ouo in thi country who know Sachow' real nutuo, or who is acquainted with hi family, which i one of tho bebt in Prussia, bi father being an officer of high rank, but who for six years ha heard uo word fioui bia wandering son. Ho states further that deceased was th pri.U of hi family, aud was a studeut of great talents. Led astray in bi youth, be led fur a timo a rceklcs life, naturally causing hi father great grief. Some rupturo must have occurred, for be left hi homo iu Prussia and tamo to the United State, adopting hi mother's name "Sachow." It u stated that bi father is the celebrated Count Yon Mollke, chief of tho staff of tho King of Prussia In General M'owar's reply to Mr. John son he atatc that Sachow entered the United State service iu 13C3, and was appoiutod a sergeant major, serving aa such until honorably mustered out of the service, when be again enlisted September 21, lbJüÜ, in the regular aervice a a pri vate in the Sixth , Uuited Mate- Cavalry.

It Is not Dcoesiury for us to almit that wo were wrong then, and that our policy would have been faUl, for wo yet believe that there was a better way, but if our end wero reached even ov a iuro circuitous ind more uzpenaivo way, wo have this nswer to thoso that tho n opposod tu, that they had at last, and in spito of themselves, oome to our platform. Years ago wo would bave abolished alavery by legislation and at the cost of only a few millions, because alavery wus both wrong- and impolitic, but domngoues cried "unconstitutional." At last they abolished it at tho cost of untold millions of treasure and rivers of blood. To-day wa ask that every rel:o of tho old abomination be wipod out and that the distinction which a long period of the rule of alatehsldera had fusion :d upon us bo wholly removed. In abort we propose the enfranchisement of tho negro. Wo are met by tha old cry 'unconstitutional." The unquestionable truth is that thia must be aooomplished. ' It Hsimply a question of time and of detail. Wo would movo boldly, by an act of Congre and settle the controversy at once, thus giving hie country rest from this question forover. Tho negro enfranchinod.all of tho collateral questions will soon and easily adjust themselves and tho attention of the people could be devoted to qusstions of flnanoo and revenue, and other matters of political economy. Possibly the pre'sent ConarcM may yet do this. It waa after the disastrous retreat of Duel to Louisville, and tha stolen victoiie of the Democracy, in 18Ü2, that measures wero take n tint none but Radical bad proposed in the beginning of the war.

We would take to the water rather than go to the iovil, for we would hope for a belter chance hereafter, lletween surrendering our courictiona of right, aod a temporary defeat, wo take the di feat of choico, for that will leave us a hope ofa respectable future.

Accordingly, on tho Oih instant, whuu out huntiug, bclnu about fifty miles from this camp, on tha eastern branch of the Powder tho opportunity wa cmbrao cd to do so. Leisurely proceeding on hi way, hi tranquility ot mind was suddenly disturbed by looking up and seeing a beur just ahead f turn. Their ty luel situ ultanooUily, Druiu' veugefutly glaring.

Hi bullet struck do to, if it did not penetrate hi heart. The boar fell. P.eguiniug hi foot, with a fierce, terrible growl, ho wheeled and ondouvorcd to escape. Calling to bi companion, who waa probably ono hundred aud fifty vard iu the roar, to como quickly to htm; upon hi arrival thty pursued the animal logothor. When within twenty yards, th scrgeunt having reloadud, again fired, and he shot the bear woll upon tho shoulder, aud about midway of tho body; bi companion imme diately succeeded with hia bullet, planting a good outico of lead in ono of tho buge beast' aboulders, Uruin turned upon and puraued bis foos. They stood thoir ground, and when Sergeant Shroko'had reloaded the bear was within ten feet of bim, coming with unabated speed. He loveled, when bo almost imsgincd that bo could feel tho monster's hot breath in bia face. Tho trigger i pulled the percussion f roves faulty; with the undischarged gun n hia hand a powerful blow of the infuriated grizzly carries away the greater part of hia scalp, llufore reaching tho ground tho bear has caught in bis mouth hi left baud, and tho jaws of hia teeth met among ita cord and sinew. Tho sergeant sinks to tho pround bcnea'.h tho shaggy giant, whoso hold on bi hand is still unriddled when bis companion reached the spot aud aonda a bullet iuto the beast' head.

Quick as thought, the sergeant thrust bis riuht band down the aqiuial'a throut, and fiercely grasped bis tongue. Hi companion has reloadud bis piece, and puts a third butllet in tho beer' bead. Again the bear withdrew his ivories, and catching in bis mouth tho sergeant'agun commenced vigorously chewing off (ho stock. Now, regaining his fcot, tho sergeant discharged two bullet from bia revolver. These ended the contest with the death of the bear. Tho sergeant returned to camp in indescribable gony, ana thuugn fullering with great pain he is in a fair way of speedy recovery; but be will curry to bit last moment tho scuta of fta a. w w thi desperate encounter, lie says be "hue killed the bar, and don't want uoth. in' more to do with the critters."

A New Jersey correspondent of the (jermantiiwn (I'enn ) Telegraph gives hisj method of koepiag sweet potatoes, as fol lows: My method to keep sweet potatoes is to air dry sand by spreading it on board or board walk; dig tho potatoes In the morning and pick them in tho afternoon, before iho dew falls, throwing out all tha bruised one. I packed thnu in flour bar rels; first a cout of sand, then a layer of potatoes, so that tho sand would fill tbo interstices. If the sand is too dry, as u when dried in a kiln, it will shrivel the potatoes. I bad a room on the south side of my dining room that I kept the potatoes in after packing them in barrels. Tho bent from the coal s'ovo iu tho din ing room was all that was given them, and did not looe two dozen taters out of eight barrels.- I found them a sound in the spring aa when dug iu tho .full. The outside dampness should bo well dried fl' ol tho potatoes. I felt myself amply paid by the treat they gave through the winter. Cold fall rains, on cold, damp aund, male tho potatoes lose their sweetness. Lodcjicgs for Ladies.
