‘And now comes Charles Sumner,
aad on the first day of the meeting of .
the second session of the Forty-second Congress, presents a bill to have .
stricken from the colors of regiments .
and allusion to the: battle; of the rebellion, or, as the bill. doubtless expresses it, to Scenes fought with
our fell w citizens.’ Is he, too,.

“Oblivion
of the past’ was inscribed upon the
Vanners of:the Gincinnati nominees, .
‘and they went tothe wall with every
Northern State against them by a
majority of fifty thousand or more.
In the estimation of every loyal man,
the rebellion was ‘a crime against huIt was
a wanton, inexcusable crime, lacking,
the apolugy of-oppression or the pretext of necessity. As much as this
has Mr. Summer said. More than
half-a-million men, braver and bet er
than the gentleman from Massachusetts, who fifteen years ago submitted like a paltrgon: to Southern chastisement int e Senate chamber, Jaid.
down their lives tosave the Union,
believing.that secession was a crime.
The result:at Appomattox was reached through 4 hundred battles. The
victory was-achieved,~are no longer
in existence. The hundreds of thousanda who marched inrevi w through
Washington in. 1865-have dwindled
to leas than thirty thousand men.
tered from serviee at the close of the
war, nothing remains but the history
of their deeds and théir battle flags,
which Mr. Sumner desires Congress
to collect and burn in front of the
Capital as a peace offering to treason.
‘The most of the bravé men, whose
valor painted upon the battle flags of.
their regiments the records of. heroiam whieh Mr. Sumner would. obliterate, now sleep in cemeteries: beside
the fields: where victory was. won.
The States that sent them preserve a
iecord of their names, and the _tattered flags of annihilated regiments
tell the story of their deeds. “Detroy them!” exclaims Mr. Summer,in
a new fury of fanaticism. Certainly,
if the men who upheld them through
the storm:‘of war were wrong;ifright,
never! -If rebellion was wrong in
1861, time will never sanctify it as a
right; and the man who opposed it
as did Mr. Sumner then, is aningrate
and a coward to attempt to strew
the men who fought andidved for the
principles he advocated. If Mr.
Sumner. would have oblivion of the
past, why not amend hisbill and
make his project perfect?: Destroying battle flags will not accomplish
the purpose.
“Mr Sumner should ask Congress
to purchase and destroy-all the His_ tories of the rebellion ever purchased
except Mr. Pollard’s, and. al the
files of Nerthern newspapers: printed
during the war}, to tear down ‘the
monumentiat Gettyaburg. aud run a
harrow over the thir y-five thousand
graves at Andersonville;, to write
*expunged”’ avross all of the acts
and proclamations of the Government referring to the rebellious
conduct of the South as ‘“‘treason;’’
to make it a ‘felony for a limbless
Union soldier to remember under
which flag he fought; to abolish all
pensions, or accord them alike to the
maimed:of beth armies; and finally,
t compel the intruduction into common schools of the Republic of clussbooks referring to the revellion as x
litle family misunderstanding in
which.the North was wrongand for
which the. South apologized. At one
time it was thought that treason
should be rendered infamous. Mr.
Sumner now proposes to restore it to
respectability by stamping as murderers the. men who fought against

Brooks in 1856, is healed, he is prered { Qvouuy the battle-flags of

Yesterday six men left on this .

. prisoners,. John Sampson, alias San. son, alias Sansol, feigned illness for
One of the
. a. month; and was permitted to leave
work: often during the day. The
“guard kept him closely watehed, and
no’Ghanee for escape presented itself. Time, and the apparent good
faith in which Sampson aosted, wore .
. off the diligence. of the guard. Whea
abont 2 o’clock, P. m., Sampson and .
another trusty, Thomas Ryan, applied for permission to leave the}
ranks. The-request was granted.’
. The guard halted his party to wait
for them. When. they were gone
two or three minutes he looked for
them, but found they had diseppearedi. He fired his gun in the air, as asignal for kelp, and men were im mediately despatched to his assistance.
Sampson ran over the hills and disappeared in the fog which had then
setin. Ryan was found. concealed
among the bushes, by the shuif, who
had been notified. “~~
Sampson is well knowsvin all parts
of the State. He is an: omperienced
burglar and an accomplished safecracker. Several years ago; in Davisville, he attempted to oyen a door
and enter a house during the night.
He was seén by parties inside, one
of whom shot him through « hole in
the door. The ball strack the
apper part of the forehead and glancing off, inflicting only aslight wound.
He beat a. hurried retreatto the house
of aneld convict, who» dressed ‘his
wound. He was not heard of again
until 1871, when assisted by Jack
Burns, known as Black Jack, he eiitered a store in Yuba. City, Sutter
connty, cracked the safe, and carried
off.its contents. He-and Burns were
arrested. The latter turned State's
evidence, and conwieted his partner
in crime. He was sentenced. on two
oharges—burglany and grand larceny
--to eighteen years, and was received
in the State Prison on the lith of
May, 1871. Judge Tyler, his counsel, took the case to the Supreme
Gourt, and a, new trial was granted
about four months ago, but a remittitar had not been issued, and Samp‘son remained in the State Prison.
He was serving a fourth term.

Severe Fall. _.
On Wednesday morning, about nine
O'clock, Mr. Pat. English, one of
our oldest and most respected. citizens, climbed a ladder to the top of
a porch in front of his blacksmith
shop for the purpose oft putting on
some shingles-in a leaky place. He
had just seated himself to. commence
work, whenithe rafter he was sitting
on gave way, letting him fall heavily
tothe sidewalk, a distance of 12 feet.
He struck heavily on: his left side.
The result is. a very serious wound.
The npper part of the arm, near
where the shoulder joint is, was
broken, ‘The break is a badone, because there is greatdifficulty in keeping the bones in the proper place,sv
that adhesion can take place. At
best, the part ofi the bone broken
unites.very slowly. Im young persons such a break seldom heals. Drs.
Simpson and Tompkins, whio are attending the case, think the injury a
very serious one, and certainly the
left arm will be permanently disabled.
'So says the Gass Vulley Union,
