Upon opening it, we found it to contain about half a oe of brown domestic, with blood and scabs on it, resembling a cloth taken from some one afflicted with the amall pox. We had it burned in the front yard of our printing office, after handling it with tongs! This is the spirit of Secession—its mode of warfare— and its sense of honor. Clever men, heretofore high-minded, will not be long in their ranks until they will openly justify even this mode-of warfare against Union men.

A HUSBAND NoT MovED BY TRiFLES.— Mrs. Margaret Stolty, residing at Washingtunville, (New Jersey,) was so unfortunate as te have a child during her husband's residence in California. The father was one Gilbert Brown. Like a good wife, she acquainted her husband with the fact by letter. ‘who forgave her on condition that she should do so no more, but he told her to pass over the baby to the person to whom it belonged, as he w soon be home. She did so, but the fa being a married man denied the 4 soft impeachment, and a stranger married wqman kindly adopted the little forlorn one. —Sacramento News. .
