This is tho most gratifying and promising news we haro had for a long time. Wo may look for a speedy re-enactmcut of the scene in some other part of Lincolnddtn.

Wo do not except the Puritan Army of Oliver Cromwell, for we bavo long thought, as old Noll himself, upon a memorable occiuy/in,' said to Col.

Wc arc pained however, and alarmed, wc eon ess, that such charge* can be brought an.i-dis ussed publicly in our news papers. Tho mero ireulotion of suth rumors by tho Press is calcu ated to do serious injury to tho currency of tho ou:itry. Public credit, like female virtue, must ot only be pure, but ahovo suspicion.
