The iloath of Goncr.il I'.urnsido ,
> Senator from llhoilu lalntul , recalls nn
V incident in nis milit.iry lifu which Imd
prob.ibly lout ? passed from his memory ,
but which ciin never bo forgotten by
aomo who were deeply concerned in it.
Itoforu President Lincoln became n
Republican ho was u Whig ; alwny * n
Whig up to tlio death of that party ,
whic.i may bo said to diito from the
death of its great loader , Henry Clny ,
in 1852 , Around Hotiry Clay suoh

ipndon , J tunica Orooloy , S. S. Proii
tiss of Mississippi and Ooorgo D.
Prenlion of Kentucky revolved as
satellites , forming the most brilliant
constellation known to the politics of
America. Among nil the host of
brig it names so lovingly associated
with that of the illustrious faire of
Ashland , nouo shone with brighter
luator than that of George D. Pren
tice , the witty , eloquent , enthusiastic
editor and founder of the old Louis-
villu .Inurnul , now known aa Tlio
Courier-Journal. The doitu'iico | of
Clny and the journalism of Prentice
working together , liold Kentucky us
lirmly to the whig cause as state over
was held to nny cause ; and it remained
whig till the dark shadow of treason
nnd rebellion fell upon the state ; an
event which the kindly hand of death
kept from the sight of the threat
champion of the cause. Prentice
lived to see tlio cloud break ; lived to
see hiu bjst beloved son , Clarence ,
forsake the Union cause , for which the
father had labored Rollout-ami earnest
ly , and take up arms against it.
A 1US1IINO MAJOK ,
When General Burnsido hud com
mand of the Department , of the Ohio
this son of George D Prentice was a
"
Major , fighting" in the Confederate
army in Georgia. Hit battalion wna
composed of Kontuckinns , mostly from
Louisville. It waa n brave and dash
ing body of men , and the young Major
had earned a distinguished reputation
for dash and boldness. In u short ,
time the battalion was not merely dec
imated , but literally cut down to a
small fragment of its original force ,
mid Major Prentice conceived the rash
idea of working his way along through
the Union lines back to hU homo in
Louisville , to recruit from among his
friends enough fresh men to till up his
command. On the route he tell in
with a gontlciflaii of his acquantrnce ,
who inquired : "Where are you
bound ? "
"For home. "
"On paiolo as a prisonei ? "
"No. "
"Quit the confederate service. ' "
"Xo. "
"What then ? "
"I am yoiiig to recruit in Louisville
for my command. "
The gentleman , us a lawyer , and a
thorough one , was astonished at this
information , and ho replied with
energy : "Do you know the danger
you are running ? Yon will be arrested
as a spy , sir. "
"I know that I may be , but T am
resclved , and yon know what that
means , " auawored Major1 Prontico.
Ho did know what it meant. Ho
knew that such was iho firmnops of
this mere boy in years , no persuasion
could change his once sot icsolution.
Prentice was in citizen's dress , and
his friend remarked it , adding : "Do
you know , young man , that you are
running your head into u halter with
thatdross mil It you must take this
deadly risk , at least do it in the mili
tary uniform of your party , and then ,
if you are taken , by military law , you
will bo tried and condemned as u spy ,
but they will shoot you , and not hang
you. "
The young man did not know this.
Ho Was a lighting , not a reading sol-
cier. Brightening upat the question ,
\ ho said , alter u moment's thought :
"Is that so ? Is that military law ? "
" "io ? , that is military law. If you
are taken as Major Andrus was in
citizen's dress , they will hang you. If
you are taken in the military uniform
of your army they will shoot you , and
the disgrace of the halter will not
sully the family history. "
And so they parted. Young Prentice
tico wont on to Louisville , to his
father's hcuso. The old journalist still
remained at his post of duty in The
Journal ollico ; and , true to the Union ,
Major Prentice had not been an hour
in the city , then held by union sol
diers , till it was known in that part of
the army which was composed of Kcn-
tuckiiuis and Louisville recruits.
IIKOTHKU AGAINST llUOTIIKIi.
It was ono of the darkest phases of
that tcrriblo conflict that brothers
were oflen found lighting on opposing
sides and schoolmates grappling with
each other in the death struggle. At
Pea Hid''o an old man in blue was
bayoneted by a youth in gray , when
the luttor recognized his fattier as his
victim , and instantly killed himself.
Major Prentice was "spotted" by an
old scoholmatoflio , subordinating
friendship to the stern demands of
military duty , reported him and was
detailed to arrest him as a spy. IIo
was closely shadowed and tracked to
, his father's house. This was after
nightfall and arrest was put oil' till 10
o'clock next morning , but a company
of Union soldiers was drawn around
the house to prevent escape. At 10
nnxt morning the schoolmate captain
entered and found Major Prentice in
the parlor in full , now confederate
uniform.
"How are you , Johnf1 Glad to see
you. Had you breakfast ? Wliat
brings you here at this hour ? " said
Prontico.
"I have had breakfast , and , Clar
cnco , you know what has brought mo
horo. T have como to arrest you aa a
spy , and I am sorry to meet you on
such terms , "
"Woll , there is no rope in it any
way , " answered young Prentice , with
the utmost imperturbability. "You
sou I am in full uniform , "
"Yes ; but you were not in that
dri'ds when you entered this house , "
uiiBwured Captain John.
AHUKSTKO AS A HI'V.
Major Prentice was arreatrd and
confined , and General Burnsido order
ed a court-martial to try him. It is
iiaid of Hmnsido that , like most West
Point graduates , ho was a martinet.
IIo was at least a nuid disciplinarian ,
and always ready for the s'l ict enforce-
nieiit of military law. It would have
given him no more pun tj hang or
shoot the son of George U. Politico ,
convicted as n spy , than the r.iyiiedest
private inthuiebelaeuico , The case ,
therefore , had u desporatu look from
the hoL'inning. There was but one
way to MIVO iho prisoner , and that
was through President Lincoln. Kvon
th.it ui3 doubt ul , for it might
bo impossible to reiich the president
before the court nurtial h.id decided
( ho prisoner's fatu. The editor of
The Journal instantly telepraphed to
his old whig friend and admirer and
at once set oil' for Washington. The
telegram was duly received , ami Hum-
Hide was tolegtaphod to put oil' the
trial I ill further orders. From some
unexplained catisn thin dispatch failed
to reach Uurnsido'H headquarters , and
the tri.il of M.ijor Prentice wai
going on yrhon his father
reached Washington. The delays -
lays of civil courts nro not known to
courts-martial. Judgement follows
quick on the hook ot evidence , and
* unt once and execution as rapidly fol
low judgment. In tlio cuso of Pren
tice an hour might decide whether ho
should live or ( lie. The intelligence
of thu old journalist had silently debated -
bated all these chances while on the
way to meet Lincoln , and though ho
believed in his heart that liin old
friend would .save his son , ho did not
waste a minute in Hcoini ; him and
hearing thu truth from thu president's
own mouth. For years ho had not
seen Mr. Lincoln , and ho might havu
[ { town cold or forgotten him
SAVKI ) FROM 1IKATII.
Hastily entering the president's
ollice , there , seated alone , appircntly
in deep thought , was the long , tin-
train ly figure of the man whoso word
might make him happy or send him
in sorrow to thu grave. The long , un
gainly liguro raised its head , turned
Us face toward the entrance , and ,
with a beaming smile of brotherly
tenderness , said : "Prentico , did you
think I'd lot them hang your boy ?
Sit down and tell mo a story. " It
was no time with thu anxious father
for tolling stories. IIo hastily sug
gested that probably the telegram
might have failed. "I have sent an-
otlfor and bore's the answer. Your
boy is safe. " And then , with the in
stincts of a lawyer , he turned to the
cabinet , took up pen and paper , and
wrote another dispatch to Burnsidu
substantially as follows :
Ordered That the court-martial
called for the trial of Major Clarence
Prentice bo immediately dissolved.
A. LINCOLNPresident. .
And then turning to Prentice , ho
said , "let us go and see that this is
immediately sent to Burnsidu , and
wait on his reply " It was HO sent ,
and the receipt acknowledged by Gen
eral Burnsido. And so it was that
President Lincoln prevented onu of his
strictest Generals from taking thu life
of the gallant , but misguided son of an
old friend. There was an outcry
against it at the time , but creator
events soon hushed it into oblivion.
And now , when charity and brotherly
affection upon both sides have taken
the place of anger and bitterness , this
incident of the war rises up to b esa
the n.uno of Lincoln. All the parties
to it are dead and gone Lincoln ,
Prentice , Clarence , the son , and last
of all , Burnside , whoso death should
liavo been , easier for having been so
graciously spared the pain of execut
ing justice untempered with mercy.

Nnsby of Erin Go Bragh-
Cincinnati Ciazctlc.
Since the Rev. Petroleum V. Nasby
returned from abroad , where ho saw
the luxurious vices of the English
aristocracy and the virtuous poverty
of the Irish "pisintry , " he has trans
formed himself so that his congrega
tion hardly recognizes him. He has
put on the velveteen knee breeches ,
gaiters and hobnailed brogans , the
jacket with the little four inch tails ,
tlio much indented , steeple crown hat ,
with the dudhcen stuck in thu band ,
and the buckthorn shillalah , of the
true son of the bog of Erin. Ho has
gathered a big bur on his tongue. Hu
swears "bo jabbers" and "tho divil. "
Ho wants the Queen , and all the royal
family exterminated for tlio sins of
their progenitors ; the English driven
out of Ireland ; the landlords hanged
as laud robbers , and the land given
back lo the "fivo mild kiims" who
owned it in the "good ould time , "
The parson is an instance of wonder
ful conversion. Ho twirls his shillalah
asks if snino "gintleman will bo so
good as to tread on the tail of me
coat , " and gives : i woora , which is a
cross between the Indian war whoop
and the Confederate auny yell. He
essays to dance a jig , and to sing
"Tho Wcurin1 o1 the Green , " "Fini-
gaii's Wako , " and other SOUL'S of the
"ould sod. " Hu has got an idea that
ovcry Irishm n plays on the harp of
Erin , and ho is inquiring for Erin's
harp to begin practice. Ho is full ot
tight for thu freedom of Ireland , and
requires several men to hold him. In
short , thu parson is transligurod into
a broth of u boy.
