At -Hartford a colored hotel waiter, who had been drafted made up his mind to get ap an exemption certificate.

Being sound himself, he procured a colored brother with a weak knee to go before the surgoon and porsonate himself, the unsound leg being sufficient, he supposed, to get him clear. But the leg was not quite on sound enough. The surgeon "passed" him and the held him as an able-bodied soldier in Uncle Abraham's army. This scared the The Lambs or PiaCi.

A OjA fellow not on good terms with his AsjALGRAif ArioK at tbc Sith. Fanny Kemble, in ber recently published Journal of a Residence on a Georgia Plantation, remarks: I am rather surprised at the. outbreak of violent disgust which Mr. indulges in on the subject of amalgamation, as that formed no part of our discussion, and seems to me a curious subject for abstract argument. I should think intermarrying be-tyeen blacks and whites a matter to be as little insisted upon if repugnant, as prevented if agreeable to the majority of the two races.

At the same time I cannot help being astonished at the furious and ungov-erned execration which all reference to the possibility of a fusion of the races draws down upon those who suggest it, because nobody pretends to deny that, throughout the South, a large proportion of the population is the Offspring of white men and colored women. In New Orleans a class of unhappy females exist whose mingled blood wages; and il the whole history of emancipation in the West Indies (in a climate-far more tempting to idleness than ours) did not teach that the productiveness of freed labor was far beyond tha slave. So, too, the old fallacy of "the impossibility of the two races living near each other in freedom," is here and there heard, as though, liberty would muke the two races any the less necessary to each other than compulsion, and as though each would not perform even better, its task whether of hand work or head work where Ilie laws of political economy and the principles of humanity alone governed their relations. When at length the State Government of Tennessee is organized-and that Cannot be till the Stat is thoroughly cleared of guerrillas you may be sure that an Acl of Emancipation will be passed, and this State, so favored by nature, begin a glorious carreer as a free State. Correapoiiden N.

Y. Times. Capturi of Nena Sahib. Among the many strange and thrilling events that occurred during the rebellion against British rule in India, the career of Nona Sahib will long hold a prominent place. Whether we consider the immense -forces he secretly organized under the vigilant eyes of the Government, the success which for a long time followed his ai ms, the horrid ferocity with which he turtured manj of his captives, or the skill with which for years baffled all attempts to eajture hiin, his history in uinque.

He has been frequently reported to bo so surrounded that escape was impos sible, but again he has distippeared. Seve ml times his capture has been announced, but the prisoner lias proved to be some other man. tsut trio isntisn Uovernmcnt lias still pursued him with a patience and persistency of a well trained blood hound. It felt that the rebellion was not crushed while its chief actor was at largo. The cpirit that sent troops to India, fought battles, won victories, and blew prisoners from the mouths of cannons, was not likely to sit down quietly while a spark of rebellious fire Mnoulders near its magazine; and it has af last proved successful, for the Prince was captured by Captain Brodgnn, of the British army, in the Temple of Azmere, Bombay, on the 29th of June last, From the treatment tho Sepoys received, Nena Sahib cannot expect much leniency from that nation which is so loud in its dcpreciatij(s of our attempt to put down a rebellion against a written Constitution, under which a president was elected by the, people.

Our rebels had equal rights, a Supreme Court to define those rights, and a final Court of Appeal, composed of tbe people, meeting every four years, Indian rebels bad no rights; from the days oMIastings downward EnglandV misrule ol Iaaia lias been a disgrace that history has blushed to' record. We did not recognize Nena Sahib as a belligerent, uor suffer armed vessels to leave 'our ports to prey upon British commerce during the Iudiau war; but "now" have" "to deal with a rebellion that was not brought about by a century of tyranny and extortion, but is a necessary, vindication of the Constitution and the laws, England can vonly see in it a chance for commercial enterprise. The In dian uprising against a Government forced upon the, people must be put down with the sternest severity; but rebellion against a Government formed by the people should be petted, and fostered if possible recog- nized and sustained.

'Rev. Dr. Anderson, who has just returned from the East, says in a communication to the Bulletin: True, there are here and there some ominous thing. The course of the French Em peror in Mexico is one of them. Under tbe protest of our government, and in the teeth of bis own solemn decoration that his only object was to secure the Frencii creditors of Mexico, he has boldly resolved to establish a monarchy, under the-basest house that ever disgraced earth, that of Ilasburg.

Unless Louis Napoleon is a fool and most assuredly he is not his Mexican course means recognition of, and alliance, offensive and defensive, with the South. England longs to see tho great Republic destroyed, and she will follow France. But come one, come all our country is equal to the emergency; and republican institutions will meet the shock as "meets the rock a thousand Anotuek Loval State, The success of Unionists in our sister jState in embryo, the mouD tains, is splendid omen. The numbers' of secessionists who feave crowdea into Nevada Territory during the last two years seemed to be immenso, and excited great fears that they might outnumber the toyaIists7BuTtneTaWav still greater numbers, and the Territory is sound as a nut. The next Legislature prom ises to be loyal, and the "Convention to form ment is going on, silent but powerful, which hall produce more effects on the future than all the noisy changes of toe day.

It is a tnovensent of ideas a change of conviction ttmong the upper clasee'ffotl no less a subject than that of slavery, and nil the relations "connected therewith. It is a revolution Vhich is not born alone ot the present war. Tor years baclc the great tide-yi ave of the age the growing conviction of the civilized world on the subicct of human riehts has set back its little eddies even into the sluve-holding communities of Tennessee; Nuin-hen of men owning slaves to a greater or less extent, have had their thoughts seriously called to the question of the morality and the -desirableness; of --the 1ls question Df emancipation has been deeply and candidly pondered. I have reason to know this from sources that cannot be doubt cd. In every slave State I am convinced there are numbers of nien possessing slaves who are always more or less doubtful uf the system, but who are restrained from any direct action on it, either from want of the moral courage necessary for such 11 deviation from the ordinary modes of ttwught of their or because they see no practical method of betteringthe present condition of their dependents, and so they find it easier to let things go on as they are.

A convulsion like this war breaks these men from their moorings, aind they are very willing to act, as they have long half desired to act. Besides, the civil war has revealed even to slaveholders the essential barbarity of slave-holding, for how else can they account for the horrible outrages, the cruelties, ami foro-cious treatment practised hy Soirtnern teii on those who were once their neighbors and friends. A true loyalist must sec, moreover, that it is slavery, and slavery alone, which is aiming this death-blow at the Government of his fathers; and he sees (pcrlinps even more clearly than we at the Xurth, because he is nearer the evil,) that the only hope of per manent peace and union lies in the destruction of slavery. However all this may be, it is certain that the leaders and principal of the Emancipation and Union party of Ten nessee are now and have been slaveholders. I could give you the names of twenty-five or thirty at once, whoflo families aro respeot' and known all over the State, who possess from ten to one hundred slaves, and who heartily support this movemont.

One has already offered his slaves wages, and is beginning the great change himself. These gentlemen aro devoted Unionists of course, but they are also ardent Tennessee-ans, and they believe that the responsible resources of this rich State will be so developed under free labor, that the loss from emancipation will often be more than repaid from the increased value of lands, and that at least their children will reap the benefit of emancipation in a new condition of prosperity, and a peace which no revolutions will shake. They argue that the beautiful Tine lands on their hills will draw iu German emigrant that the Western and Eastern farmer will be tempted to their fer tile valleys, where all productions of Hhc temperate zone flourich bountifully, and that the capital of the seaboard will seek out their wonderful water power, and the veins of exquisite marble jn their mountains." In this great moral movement of Tennes-aee, it should be remembered that thus fur the freest portion of brave yeomanry of East Tennessee, have no share, When at length they are delivered and unite with th Unionists and Emancipationists from the central counties, we can judge of what the result will be. So strong is this evolution that the Union Club itr Nashville, numbering some seven hundred members, contains in its construction ftu article which I believe no Morthern Union League has ventured to insertexpressing the strongest Apposition to slavery. In this as-sociatioD, of ciurse, re many slaveholders.

It is impossible to hear, this side of Boston, such downright Abalttion talk as you hear found the State Capitol in Nashville. One slaveholder said to me that it was a great pity the President had not applied his' Proclamation at once! to Tennessee; "it would have saved them a great deal of trouble, for it was evident the institution could not stand long in it present condition." Tha gentlemen' interest in these movemont assured me that the greatest obstacle in their Dath was the unaccountable tone of portion of the Democratic Press in the Eastern Statesr whoseemed to have a passion -'for ibe restoration of tb SlaseavtarmurA. than do many of the slaveholders them selves. The most rebel portion-f the State irpfttarn that which from the incessant marchings and battles ot hostile been' the most stripped of slaves. Tha whole number in the State who have -tj4f" InraVtiftally frnedmuat" be very large, There ar stilli of course, -many fallacies current among even the Unionist, on this question.

Many, I suspect, -are held put especially to appease the popular predudice -tha aaserters of them' having no faith in them themselves. People still talk of "colo- nisationM so absurdity wbioh ought to forced from it has declared in favor of emancipation immediate complete 1 The patriots of East Tennessee will take up the cry, and Tennessee will come back into the Union a free State. Years ago an Act Emancipation came near passing her Legislature, but was defeated by treacherous cowards who flinched at the last moment -from the votea-theyiad promiifii.tp,gL ita Now we have the testimony of all the correspondents of the leading eastern papers that the Tennessee slaveholders themselves, who are acting with the Union Party, are for Emancipation, both for patriotic and economical reasons, and will haston it onward. The tide of freedom is rolling on with resistless might. Mini.no Prospects is Mendocino County.

The Mendocino county (Ukiah) Herald ol 4th septcmber-says- -''The discovery of the Jfnpa county mines first turned the atten tion of the public to the Coast Range, and the later discoveries at Mark West and Dry Greek, in Sonoma.CQunty, have indisputably proven that our rugged mountains were not placod in the richest mining country in the world for no better use than a rabbit park.

The Toronto (Canada) Globe, in calling attention to the fact that Vallandigham has been all his life a violent Anglophobist, "who never missed a chance of libelling Great Grittain, until he had to como to her dominions for safety," wickedly adds: "Let him be safe, let him be free as we ourselves are; but in extending to Mr. Vallandigham that protection which but a short time ago we extended to John -Anderson, tbe fugitive slave from Missouri, let us not forget that we are British people." A Democratic Speech. We bad the ago-nixing pleasure, says the Oroville paper, of listening to a Democratic speech by O. M. Wozeocraft, at tbe Central House, last Saturday night.

Butler and Stanton. Gen. Butler drop ped in at the War Department a few days after his return, and while there, according to the New York Ucrald's correspondence, the following conversation transpired Gen.

The Philadelphia North American has the following incident of the draft: During the draft in tha Fourteenth Ward, a little iucideDt gave rise to much merriment, and contributed to the good feeling everywhere manifested about the conscription, in the crowd there stood a pale-faced with his hands crossed and his arms behind his back.

He gazed intently as each name was drawn from the wheel of destiny.
