And for two long years those very states which had been nail solemnly assured of "immediate restoration" have been be seeching and praying (till they've worn all the knees out or tiler Sunday-go-to•nmetin'- trowsers, and had to have their shins half soled,) for the mere privilege of 'picking up the crumbs that fall from the eumptuous rabble of their conquerors.

IL abounds in barefsoed lies. One requires little experience in this sort of lit erature to recognize the falsehoods atone.. It rends very much like a second rate tale in the Ledger. It has &lithe marks of mean, poverty stricken imagination. Each aeries of adventures culminates in an Impossible escape, where success turns on the not very brilliant smartness of the hero and the ut ter imbecility of the enemy. To the escape from Richmond, for exam: ple, if we are to take as truth - the 'account of Davis, Toombs and Brock, we must accept Davis, Toombs and Brook as the veriest j.,•kasses the Lori ever set, on end. Itroc owri,tedelo, but 'Davis and Toombs weeriltther imptessed this age with a con fidence of their 'sagacity, and so long as this confidence continues Brava Brigadier General Baker's attack on their brain must be at a discount.

It will do for such noodles as the editor of the Cleveland Herald to reproduce this absurd story—pip-no man possessed of a thimbleful' of barns believes it. There is one thing that strikes us forci bly, and that Is the remarkable similarity between the style of this book and that of the so called Booth Diary. To any one of ordinary sagacity it is difficult to distin guish one from the other In the history of this remarkalile diary we keltrn that it pas_ sed from the hands of Brevet Brigadier General Baker to Mr. Stanton, Of all the possessions found on the body of the assassin, the diamond pin and diary are the only two not accounted for. We rec. ognizathe distinguished detective in the fact Ilut the world is puzzled to know why the able Judge Advocate General, id. his efforts to identify the body of Booth, failed to produce the most positive evidence, and that was the note book or diary of the deceased Baker, the diary, and the dia mond pin, all disappear to gether. The wonder is solved in thelact, we sug gest, that Judge Holland Mr. Secretary Stanton discovered that eighteen pages had been out from the book, and certain other entries made that could not be identified as the hand writing of the assassin This clears up the mystery that atlachad to thin diary .
