The Two Slavery Interests.
The Cincinnati Commercial says: In the
. meantime slavery is surely crumbling, and
is being irreparably shattered by events
beyond the control of Cabinets and armies,
The work of its distruction goes on with the
war and keeps pace with its accelerated
movements. The Secessionists themselves
are the great practical Abolitionists, They
are the iconoclasts of their ebony idol, There
. is not a “leader” among them who has
not done much more to abolitionize the
, South than Wendell Phillips and all the rest
. of our anti-slavery theorists, The plaiotold our mer. chants, yesterday, the significant truth, that
the Confederate soldiers had “stolen more
negroes in a few of the last months than
valli the Abolitionists had stolen in forty
years,’ It should not be forgotten—it is,
_ indeed, the key-fact of our current history
that there are two slavery interests—the
political aud the property interests; aud that
the former is responsible for the war. The
extreme aoti-slavery men overlook or ig
. nore this fact, and hence their cry that there
. can be no peace without the abolition of
. slavery, and the conspicuous want of statesThe aggressive
. spoken Parson Brownlow
. manship in their measures,
political interest in slavery must be crashed.
It is the rebellion, Without its utter over. throw there can be no restoration of the
. Union. The slavery politicians can never
. more bold the mastery of the Union or preserve a balance of power in it. Their
schemes for the extension of slavery with
political views are forever wiped out. The
property interest in slavery may remain
without jeopardizing and impairing all the
other interesis in the country by the perpetual menace of war, and deprived of the
control of the Goverament and shaken in
all parts, the relation of slavery will be
/ ameliorated and pass away in good time
without the direct assistance of the General
Government, as rapidly as will conduce to
the greatest good to both races involved,
A Woman Equa. To an Emercenoy.—The
Newburg (N. Y.) papers celebrate the bravery of a young girl visiting in the family
of a gentleman living near that city—a Mr,
. Oakley—whose latest exploit entitles her to
. @ brigadiership, Ou Sunday last, the family
went to church, leaving oo one ia the bouse
but the heroine and an infant, The girl
beard a knock at the front door, and oa
/opening it was confronted by a tall man
“ome thirty-five or forty years of age, who .
asked if Mr, Oakley was at home, On her
reply in the negative, be at once demanded
money. The girl remembered having been
told that in a beareau drawer in one of the
chambers was a dirk and a loaded
she told the fellow the money was up stairs
and she would g> upand get it. She got
possession of the kuife and pistol, putting
. the Jatter at balf-cock, and concealing both
. ander ber apron, returned. At the foot of
. the stairs she met the would-be-robber, who
. followed ber into a side-room, and w alching
her opportunity, she attacked him with the
knife, giving him two severe blows, He
. started for the door, she following bim with
the pistol, which she was unable to discharge .
, r
j and pusbed bin down the steps. All this
time he was bleeding freely, bat he regained bis feet and ran for the creck, the
girl close avhis heels, She saw bim jump
into the water, and theu returned to the
house,
when the alarm was given, on tbe retarn
. of the family, but no trace was found be
yond the spot where be jumped in the water.

NUMBER 615.
Adventures of a New York Boy.
Some seven months ago a little boy not
quite eleven years old became enchanted
with the military pomp which at that time
pervaded the city and country, He sought
for ao available opportunity to leave home
for the “Seatof War.’ Accordingly he lefs
with one of the New York regiments, and
with them weat to Poolesville. While
there, the Massachusetts First regiment of
Volunteers arrived and encamped. Our
youthful patriot was amoug the first to welcome them. He performed the part ofa
very benefactor in his attentions to the
Massachusetts officers, aud be, of course,
became a universal pet, both among the
officers and men, One of the Captaiues, in
particular, was very kind to the boy, whom
he found to be brimfull of intelligence avd
spirit. The attachment was inereased,
however, when the boy related the sad tale
of his condition, viz; that his father bad
been killed in the action at Bull Ran, aod
that his motber bad since died, The kind
hearted Captain, ut the request of the boy,
promised to adopt him, and soon thereafter
proceeded with him to Washington, where
the necessary forms were gone through, the
documents drawn, and the boy regularly
adopted according to law. Meantime the
father and mother of the boy, who were
living in New York, were nearly heartbroken ovér the loss of their beloved son,
The father made search in every conceivable place where a boy might be likely to go
—had applied to coroners, police justice,
police telegrapbs and other available points
usually in possession of news of lost persons, and traveled far and near, but no tid. ings of the missing patriot. Atlength the
lost one was over matched by his own aocomplishments, Afraid that he might be
torn from the father of his adoption, he cnnningly wrote to some friends tn
New York to know if the “old folks” had
said anything about his beingaway As
be required an answer, be sent his address
and his glad father was the courier of the
reply. The scene which took place when
the exultant parent and the astonished truant bey met need not be described. The
. kind captain was as glad to relinquish his
claims to the boy as he was to know that
the boy’s father had not been killed at the
. battle of Bull Run, The boy is now at
. home, and says that he is well satisfied with
. his experience,
Ficrictous Wixes, —Even in wine growing countries no man can be sure that there
is any grape juice io what he drinks under
. the bame of wine. Here the probabilities
are all against the genuineness of every.
. thing called wine, An Engtish paper speaking of the manufacture and adulteration of
wines of France, says: All is false in the
wiues——the color, the strength, the flavur,
the age, even the vame under whieh they
are sold, There are wines which do not
contain a drop of grape.juice, Even science is impotent to distinguish the true
from the false, so complete is the imitation.
You may every day see advertised in the
French newspapers the “Seve de Medoc,’’
of which a «mall flacon, costing three france
is declared sufficient to give flavor to 600
litres, Paris and Cette are the principal
seats of this fraudulent adulteration. It is
practiced in both places on the most colusral scale, Certaiuly?balf the Parisian popation drink, under the name of wine,
mixture in which there is not a drop of
grape-juice, The police are unable to pre«
vent the adulteration, but the lawe punish
it with great severity; every week do the
. newspapers publish judgments against wine
. Merchants and grocers, in execution of
. which their wines, 20, 30, 80 hogsheads at
. once, are poared into the gutters, But this
. dishonest art is now so perfect that even
clever chemists can with difficulty distinguish the true wine from the false The
chemist, after reporting all the ingredients
of which the wine is composed, observed
that if one of them were in less quantity,
. he would bave been unable to distinguish
. it from ® natural wine—euch was the case
jin a very recent trial. The prosecuted
. wine merchant, who was present, listened
attentively to the chemist’s report, and at,
last asked him which the ingredient it was.
. The chemist very imprudently told it to
_ bim, and the accused immediately anawer(ed, “Tam very much obliged sir, and I
don’t regret now my forty hogsheade of
wine which will be destroyed because now
I am certain of my business,’’
A Fonrcery.—The San Francisco Call
. says that a petition was lately presented to
, the Supervisors of San Francisco, for acertain street improvement; a close examinae
. tion of the document showed thet the petition itself was pasted to the paper, containing the names of the signers, which names
. bad been attached to another petition for a
. diferent purpose, which had been submit. ted to but rejected by the present Legislai
. What Exvse Coutp pe Exprcren?—The report from Keatucky is that the act abolish. ing slavery in the District of Columbia bas
. produced uneasiness, disaffection, aod a
_. weakening of the Union gentiment, . ,
