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, . ,
