A. convention of the colored people of Tennessee was in session at Nashville during last week. It favored a migration of the colored people to some other state. Cliffe M.

JesseD. Bright, once considered the leader of the Indiana democracy, and a promineut politician during his public lifts, died at his residence in Baltimore on the 21st inst, at the age of «2 years, 6 months and 3 days. He was born at Norwich, Chenango count y, New York, 5 and at an early day removed to this state where he commenced the practice of the law. He was elected to several important state offices, among which » were that of state senator, ami lieutenant governor. In 1845 be was elected to the United States senate by the legislature of this state, and was re-elect-ed fox two consecutive terms. On the Ist of March, ihfil, after the organisation of the confederate government, lie wrote a letter addressed to “ J kffeiwon Davis, President of the Confederate States," recommending a person who was desirous of furnishing arms to the rebel states. Early in 1862 he was charged with disloyalty and in Feliruary, of that year was expelled from the senate by a vote of 32 to 14. He moved to Kentucky, thence to Baltimore.where he died as stated above, of organic disease of the heart. Two men who have occupied prominent positions in the government of the United States, and whose careers were blighted by disloyalty to the government which they had sworn to uphold. were called from earth during the week that has just closed. We refer to John C. BuK’kinridge, of Kentucky, and Jesse D, Bright, of Indiana. The former died at his residence In Lexington. Kentucky, on Friday. "" May Slat, fr«»m the effects of being struck by a fragment of a shell during one of the battles of the late rebellion. Although not being a great, he was in many respects a remarkable man. and had his career not been clouded by a participation in the attempt to destroy tins government of ours, his memory would be cherished by the American people of succeeding generations. John C. Breckinridge, was bom near Lexington. Kentucky, January 21st, 1821, and consequently at the time of his death was 54 years and 4 months old. He waseducatedat Centre College, and completed hik' law studies at Translyvania Institute. During the Mexican war he was major of the 3rd Kentucky volunteers, and upon the close of the war was dected a member of the Kentucky legislature. In 1851 he was elected to congress, and re-elected in 1853. During the administration of president Pierce he was tendered the appointment of minister to Spain, which he declined. In 1856 he was elected vice-president on the ticket with James Buchanan, and four years later was the candidate of the dteunionists of the south for president, while the northern democrats supported Stephen A. Douglas, against Abraham Lincoln, the republican candidate. Defeated in the race for the presidency, he was chosen by the legislature of Kentucky, to represent that •tote lathe United States senate, and after the breaking out rtf the war, he went South and was made a Major general. He participated in several severe engagements, including Shiloh and Chickamauga, and in January. 1865, was appointed confederate seere- , (ary of war. He went to Europe after the el(oee of the war, where he reraatoed until 1868. when he returned to Ms home in Kentucky, leading a q*iet life up to the day of his death, which occurred as stated above, on toe »•*** *

The people of the United States received the sad intelligence of the in- ; sanity of Mary Lincoln, widow of Abraham Lincoln, president of the ; United States during the dark and • terrible days of a bloody internescine . war, which was announced to the world ‘ on Thursday last, with feelings sometl what akin to that winch startled the 1 country upon receiving the news of the assassination of her noble husband, e The mental derangement of Mrs. Lini- coln can be traced to the effects of i that terrible assassination in Ford’s e theater upon the mind of a loving and tender wife, and iu consequence, the loyal people of tliis country whose " sympathies are with tlie cause for which the martyred president yielded ’ up his life, feel more deeply the sad s affliction which has rendered it necessary to incarcerate in an asylum for [. the insane, the lady who once graced r the white house with her presence.

Elkhart is 84djU00. An unknown man died on the train i between Elkhart and Goshen on Tuesi day of last week. His remains were . taken to Ligonier. i One night last week a Mr. Stutsman, living on Efikhart Prairie, on the Benton and Goshen road, had a valuable horse stolen [from his stable. ' Will Carlton, the well known author ' of “Farm Ballads," delivered his lecture entitled the “Golden Horse," at Elkhart on last Friday evening. The Goshen Democrat says tliat there are plenty of civil cases on the Elkhart county bar docket, with eleven hard cases in jail charged with criminal offenses. Mr. Ed. Walker, proprietor of the Goshen wheel, spoke, plaster sower and hand cart manufactory, has purchased a lot on Rock Bun, near the railroad, and will erect a large manufactory upon it tliis season.

Enterprise:—Having frequent- » ly heard the remark. “ Why don’t some- ’ body write up a-few items for the Syr racuse Enterprise from Milford,” we I have concluded to set their minds at I rest, and so this pleasant May morning we seize our pen, (which I have heard r said was “ more mighty than the sword," I although I don’t believe it in this case, as I am using a lead pencil) and shall t endeavor to keep your many friends I and subscribers at this point, as well as j elsewhere, jxjsted m regard to the happenings and doings in and around our t mond and virtuous village. We would p say at the outset, that if we tread on r anybody’s coms, or touch a spot nut t pleasant, that there is no chance for a 1 suit fur damages, as we are an “orphant" and a minor. t When you see reverent Robert Cory, t ask him if he has found that man yet. “A little more of the ham. fair’r tpaidt en.” For particulars ask Mart and » Frank.

Sb the J i»arty aggrieved says. , t We had the pleasure of meeting Dr. - Kelley, Starr, McCoy, Felkner, Gerber, . and a few more of the Sibbath School - scholars of Syracuse, on Saturday evei ning last, who came over to see f show and have some fun with the i bTioys. You may talk of that fellow t that went to Ofehkosh on the'same errand, but he couldn't hold a candle to „ the fun our boys had Saturday evening, i although 1 guess they all got home - without losing anything as that fellow r did. Dear scholars, come again and see i the elephant. ] , Can’t something be done to put a stop t to our Sabbath breaking?

They were accomi panied, as usual, by a philanthropic “cuss” who is going about the country , doing the people good by giving aw ay money, put up in small boxes, and as > he frequently assured the hom-st grangers, “ Tiiere was no chance fur a swindle.

Simmers, much to the gratification of those that are lovers of that beverage, as any one could plainly see by standing around there a short time on last Saturday evening. The Building. Loan and Savings Association made their first sale of 8250 on last Saturday evening, when bidding was lively, and finally sold for 857.U8 So much for a start. The organization is now full, and now there is plenty of applicants, but the eleventh hour is passed. Mr. “Stick in the Mud "of Hardscrabble, may boast of his country, its people, ami good looking but he must not brag on his frog concerts, for we have a choir of them here that cannot be excelled, ami amongst them there is one old bass singer that will put to shame the whole Baker family. -"The friends of Dr. J.

But one man was slightly caught, breaking his collar bone, and causing some other pretty smart bruises. Anonymous. From Benton.

I. Berkeypile has put a new addition to his house, and repainted the main building, which adds very much to the beaufcj- of his residence, ami Mr. W. A.

The editor of the Extkrfrme gave the boys a problem to solve some weeks since, but they have failed to work the same. Now aa “Stick in the Mud" is a school teacher, we will give him one similar to it, ami the rule by which it is worked. If it takes one man ten hours to drive seven miles with one span of mules, how long will it take two to do it. Rule—Position. We see that “ Anonymous* and " Occasional" have doubts as to what our business was up “behint" Syracuse on the Sabbath day. To prevent them from deciding in their own minds that we were fast to one end of those sticks held out over the water, we will relate a little circumstance that took place with us in 1842. One beautiful Sunday morning, there being no Sunday school nor meeting, a certain boy by the name of Bill got pennteion of his mother (who by the way .was a very pious lady) to sjtend the day with me. Arriving at our home (we lived in the country then) bent upon fun, he noticed the big dog, and his mind was made up as to what the fun should be, if I would join him. A thicket was near by, in which some queer little animals with short tails and long ears, to chase and catch one of which Bill said was all the fun he wanted. His mother being a widow, and hoping to be the means of helping her to a nice roast, we concluded to join him, being careful to take an observation as to the prospects of our sire keeping quiet while we made one round on the circle. We ordered Bill in the background while we took a survey of the flkid, and we found every thing to our liking, as our father was busily reading his weekly paper, and concluding that if he were as anxious to get the contents of that paper as we were to join Bill, he would not move probably for some time, and giving the dog the wink, away we went into the thicket, and becoming soengrossed in the sport, it was nearly sunset when we returned.

the proud possessors of two denizens of the thicket. - |p My companion begged me to take the I game home, and to please him, I consented, and was proceeding to dress them when I noticed father coming from the barn. He invited me in to supper, but upon entering the kitchen, no supper was seen. He then requested me to enter the next room where was kept a barrel of the tincture of rye, ' and thinking he was going to stand treat, we felt happy until he secured a whip, and taking it in his left hand and my blouse in his right, he brought me to a “ bout face,” then raising that cow whip, he seemed to look right where the lower end of that blouse had been, and brought that whip down directly under our “ gall us" buttons so fast and accurate that we soon confessed his ability to handle that weapon, and promised then and there to do our hunting on Saturday forever afterward. Now, Mr. “Anonymous" and “Occasional," we have never violated that promise. A Native. Fran Hardscrabble. Weather fine. Farmers busy planting com. Red birds plenty.

One more f such a reform, and we had better surt render our charter, and go Jiack to -a. territorial government. There was quite an exciting time in the quiet village of Benton the other day, and as far as we can learn, the particulars are about as follows. There was a young man who lived in the northern part of Clinton Township, i came riding into town as fast as his i horse could carry him. He soon alighted from his saddle, hitched his horse » ind started into the store under con- , siderable excitement. Lon, thinking some one might be sick and that the man was after a bottle of “ Wahoo” or t “Warren’s,” said, “Well, well, sir, what can Ido for you today?” The fellow replied, “O nothing, I would like to > see that thing they call the Native.” Lon became frightened and started for the house; Jim, got his two “ poodles” and ran upstairs ; Pat whipped hiscoat tail around the kerosene can; and Daddy Longacre ran home and got “Cat 1 fish’s” air gun, but before they all got ' around, the dlaap|>olntcd Individual had taken.his departure for home, .Stick in tiik Muu MISCELLANEOUS.
