THE ADIERICAV FI.AG,
When Freedom from her mountain height
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the axure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there.
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldrick of the skies, '
And striped its pure celestial white
With strcakings of the morning light ;
Then from his mansion in the sun '
She called her eagle bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land.
Majestic monarch of the cloud,
Who renrest aloft thy regal form
To hear the tempest trompings loud,
And see the lightning lances driven;
When stride the warriorg of the storn,
And rolls the tbunder-drum oj heavenf
Child of the sun ! to thee 'tis given
To guard the banner of the free!
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To word away tne battle stroke,
And bid its hlendingx shine afar.
Like rainbows on the cloud of war—■
The harbingers of victory !
Flag of the brave! thy folds shall fly,
Tho sign of hope and triumph high ;
When spevks the trumpet's signal tone,
And the long line comes gleaming on,
Ere yet the life-blood, warm and wet,
Has dimn'd the glistening bayonet,
Each soldier's eye shall brightly turn
To where the sky-born glories barn;
And as his springing steps advance
And when the cannon-mouth ings lond
Heave in wild wreaths the battle-shroud,
And gory sabres rise and fall
Like shoots of flame on midnight's hall.
Then shall thy meteor glances glow,
And cowering foes shall sink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That loVcly messenger of death I
Flag of the seas ! on ocean's wave
Thy stars shall glitter o'er the brave :
When dcuth, careering on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail,
And freighted waves rush wildly back
Before the broadside's reeling back
Each dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to Heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy splendors fly
In triumph o'er his closing eye! "
Flag of the free heart's hope and home,
By angel-hands to valor given.
Tiy stars have, lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven !
Forever float that standard.sheet
Where breathes the foe but falls before us,
With Freedom's soil beneath our feet,
And Freedom's banner streaming o'er us!
DRAKE.
LETTING ALONE.
A familiar cry is heard from the unorgan
ized States. It comes from orators and pa-
Eers which have been heard before. "Just
st us alone. That is all we want. As for
the negroes, we know them better than any
body else, and we must be permitted to
manage them."
Except for the seriousness of the situation
there would be something exquisitely hu
-lIIUI OUo IK;„ o mmSU... IV
ly what we have heard for the last twenty
years. When it was perfectly evident that
the spirit and policy of slavery were endan
gering the welfare of the country, a firm and
v igorous protest was raised by sagacious cit
izens who did not mean to connive, under
any pretense whatevei, at the national ruin.
Then came the answering shout from the
party of slavery: "Let us alone. It is out
affair. We know the negroes and under
stand how to manage them. Let us alone."
And many honest minds were deceived by
the appeal.
Then came secession. The men who had
cried so lustily, "I>et us alone," while they
were plotting, cried still more solemnly,
"Let us alone," when they were ready to
consummate the crime. Their armed effort
has been abortive but bloody. It is neces
sary for them to recur again to arts and in
trigues, and so we hear the same old crv,
"Let us alohe.
And who echo this cry ? Those who, in
1860, said that the Government had no right
to maintain itself by arms. Those who, in
18<>1, said that the war was really occasion
ed by the kiyal States, and that the Govern
ment ought to compromise with treason and
conciliate rebellion. Those who, in 1662,
said that our erring sisters should be allowed
to depart in peace. Those who, in 1863,
stimulated a counter revolution. Those
who, in 1864, went to Chicago and declared
the war a failure. Those who, at the end
of 1864, were politically annihilated by the
American people at the polls.
What is the object of the cry ? The over
throw of the Administration and the policy
which directed the war, and the return to
power of that alliance of Southern leaders
and Northern followers which brought on
the war. That alliance, we are told, secured
peace to the country. Yes, it secured peace
at the price of national honor, ami by delay
ing a struggle which delay embittered a
thousand fold. It secures peace as a man
secures solvency by paying fifty per cent, a
day for the money he borrows. It secured
peace as he does who puts his nose into the
fingers of a bully and obsequiously succumbs
to his kicks. And when the peace was bro
ken, who broke it? When war began, who
legan it? Who hoped and worked for
their success? Those who now tell us that
while they had the power they kept the
peace. Those who, wc know, when they
lost the power broke the peace. They gave
the country peace as a highwayman gives his
victim life, on condition of obedience. ' 'Just
give us power again, fellow-citizens," they
cry, "and you will see how we will keep the
peace. " Their fellow-citizens have already
seen. Enough is as good as a feast.
The late rebels say that they know the nc
frocs a great deal better than anybody else,
low have they proved it ? By enslaving
them with unparalleled barbarity. By out
raging every human right and feeling. By
so treating them that when the war came,
every one of the people they "knew so well"
instinctively turned against them and hailed
the enemies of their masters as, for that rea
son, their own and best friends. A society
which is so ignorant of human nature, of
history, of divine justice, and of the laws of
political ecouomy, as to suppose it can treat
naif of its members as brutes, without dan
ger to the general welfare, when its foolish
assumption has ended in its own blood and
ruin, might at least affect modesty of opin
ion, if it does not leel it. There was never
a class in the world which knew so little of
another as the slave holding class at the
South knows of the slaves. Its ignorance
has cost us a civil war; but it has also fortu
nately apprised cs that such ignorance is a
mortal peril.
And what are the late slaveholding class
now doing to show u.show perfectly they un
derstand the negroes? The Southern States,
are paralyzed. They cau he rcinvigorated
only liy labor. The negroes arc the laboring
population. They are native to the soil ana
climate, and they are free. Common sense
indicates the only policy. The inevitable
faots,of the case should be cordially accepted.
Liberal wages should l>e paid ; honest con
ducts made ; juf measures adopted to pro
\id>: education und equal rights tor the most

.substantial part of the population. In a
word, the public prosperity should be secu
red and public peril avoided by the simplest
and most obvious equity. But, instead of
this, farmers are offering five dollars a month
to freemen, who, as slaves, could hire them
selves and make fifteen dollars a month.
White people are gravely enacting that col
ored people shall not testify ; shall not con
trol t heir own children; shall not hear arms;
shall not vote; and are surrounding them
with disabilities for which there would seem
to be no legal redress. And all the while,
the class at the South which has made edu
cating slaves a crime, protests against the
fearful ignorance of the colored people ; and
those who have disgraced labor and degra
ded the laborer, and have themselves never
lifted a finger to work, now complain that
tlm neirto is a dreadfully lazy fellow, and
will work only on compulsion.
In truth, the class whieh wanted to be
"let alone" in its assault upon the Union
and Government, unchanged and unsubdued
now wishes to be "let alone" to reorganize
itself upon its obsolete, inhuman and dan
gerous prejudices and passions. It hates
the Union ; it hates free labor and free so
ciety ; it believes in its interpretation of the
Constitution and State sovereignty as much
as ever. The spirit of this class is the can
cer of the country. Tf the country wishes
peace, it will not let it alone.— Harper'*
Weekly, .Tit ftf 20.

THE ADVANTAGES OF MANUFAC
TURES.
The Chicago Republican, in making a sort
of running contrast between the prosperity
of several cities, _ offers some suggestions,
which are instructive. That paper observes:
This is at present rather a commercial than
manufacturing emporium. Yet it is admi
rably adapted to manufactures, being the
natural centre of a vast region abounding
in coal, iron, lead, salt, timber, stone and
agricultural productions of all descriptions.
As a commercial emporium, art is continu
ally adding to its natural facilities, by the
construction of railroads, the improvement
or canals, and the u^-rea-.,.Aj
capacity of steam and sailing vessels on the
lakes. But, after all, manufactures are the
true basis of municipal prosperity. They
create commerce by making markets for ag
ricullural productions. Changes in the great
routes of travel and traffic may annihilate
the commercial prosperity of a great city,
but cannot deprive it of the advantages which
manufactures confer upon it. They are per
manently its own.
The city of Philadelphia is a noteworthy
example of this truth. It was once the
commercial emporium of the country; the
center of the great monetary transactions of
the United States. New York at one time
had but a secondary monetary and commer
cial position compared with it. But the greai
inland routes of travel began to change. The
Krie canal opened up the great west to the
commerce of the world, and New York leaped
at once into the commercial emporium of the
United States. Had not Philadelphia then
turned her atttention to manufactures, she
would have dwindled into an old-fashioned,
second or third rate town, situated some dis
tance up an unfrequented river, called the
Delaware—which, in that event, would have
been more noted for its antiouarian associa
tions, than its present remarkable commer
cial and manufacturing greatness. But
Philadelphia possessed the spirit of PENN.
of FRANKLIN and of ROBERT MORRIS, and
laid the basis of its prosperity down deep in
the foundations of true municipal and na
tional greatness. The natural characteris
tics of the people of Pennsylvania also ten
ded to mould the destiny of the city. Pa
tient, hard-working, temperate, saving and
frugal, its population, in which the German
element largely predominates, has industri
ously and indefatigably carried out the ideas
of the founders of the Quaker colony, while
to-day we find those ideas bearing fruit in a
harvest of permanent manufacturing and
commercial prosperity.
Let Chicago imitate Philadelphia in this
respect. She is now the great commercial
emporium of the northwest. Let her pre
serve the position which nature has given
her, for all time, by founding it thoroughly
on manufacturing industry.
By the late internal revenue returns we
observe that the taxes assessed for manufac
tures in the five districts of Philadelphia
%"**) stum*.. wnwnt.to the enar-
mous sum Srw.WJ m.W.
the tax on manufactures of the city for one
year. It is estimated that four per cent, is
the average duty on manufactured articles.
Some are specific, that is so much per ton
or pound, whilst others are so much per
cent. So that the above tax represents a
gross value of manufactures of $169,149,-
112. And Philadelphia thus manufactures
an amount of goods of the value of nearly
one hundred and seventy millions of dollars,
which it is estimated, including income tax,
yields a revenue to the government of twelve
millions five hundred thousand dollars
nearly! Can anything more strikingly il
lustrate the value of the manufacturing in
dustry of a country?
SPEECH BY HORACE MAYNARD.
This distinguished son of Tennessee has
been elected to Congress, and did set
forth his views in speeches here and there
to the people. The following remarks re
cently made by him are not without inter
est :
,'A great clamor is made against negro
suffrage. Ido not think that a majority of
the American people have determined to es
tablish this measure unconditionally, but if
you desire to prevent it, hostility to the gov
ernment will not keep it off, but will rather
hasten its establishment. If the nation finds
that all its efforts to reclaim a rebellious
population are in vain, it will be very apt to
five suffrage to the negro population, who
ave through all this war proved its fair
and faithful friends. This measure, in this
event, will be adopted as an indespensible
means of establishing loyal civil government
in the South, when the seditious white pop
ulation refuse to submit to the laws and dis
charge their duties as prudent citizens.
"Some of you threaten to rebel in that
case. You tried that once before, when you
were a great deal stronger than you are
now, and you know the sad result What
will your rebellion amount to? It would
only jjive the nation a good cause for doing
what it would now avoid. As Major Gen
eral Logan said in a speech the other day :
'Let them rebel again, that is just what we
want!' Now, if you want to live at peace,
obey the laws and turn away from those un
principled politicians who cry out 'Blue
bellied Yankee,' Abolitionists,' and 'Nig-
Sr equality,' to get your votes. They are
c same men who asked you befbre the
war, how you would like to see your daugh
ter marry a 'big buck nigger.'
"Mucn has been said about the radical
ism of Chief Justice Chase's views on the
subject of negro suffrage. Mr. Chase be
lieves that a? the white Unionists of the
South are in the minority, very largely, so
in many localities, it will become a matter
of absolute necessity to enfranchise the
black population, which is universally loyal,
in order to prevent the rebels from regain
ing the government of their respective
States at the ballot-box. He believes that
the nation will be compelled to resort to ne
gro suffrage for self-preservation, especially
for the preservation of the white loyalists of
the South. Now, the nation was not eager
to resort to emancipation, but you forced a
resort to that measure by obstinate rebellion.
It hesitated to enlist negro soldiers, but was
forced to arm them by the continued rebel
lion of the South, and it found that they
made very good soldiers, and could shoot as
well any body. This revolution is not yet
over, and a great many of these subjugated
rebels arc acting and talking very boldly.
Rest assured, that if you still defy the na
tional government, the nation will be forced
to think seriously of putting the ballot into
the hands of loyal negroes, to enable them
to vote down tlm rebellion."
THERE are 213 establishments in the Uni
ted States for the manufacture of carpets,
involving a capital of $4,721,768, and
working up annually material valued at $4,
417,986. The number of hands employed
is 3,910 males and 2,771 females, to whom

THE TRUE STORY OF THE RICH
MOND ELECTION.
\\ e learn from a trustworthy source that
the action of General Turner, in annulling
the recent election at Richmond, was based
chiefly, if not entirely ; upon the fact that
the judges of the election, while they admit
ted the votes of Virginians who had served
in the rebel armies, rejected those of Vir
ginians who had served in the Union ar
mies.
One of the votes thus reported was that
of a citizen, a resident and merchaut
of Richmond for at least five years
before the war, a strong Unionist, the
secretary of the last open Union meeting
held in the city before the war began. This
gentleman, when troops were called for, left
bis home in Richmond—where they were
not enlisting men for the Union armies at
•"—nd entered the three months
service. >V hen his term there expired, lie
re-enlisted and served during the war. He
fought in the first battle of Bull Itur, at
Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, Gaines's Mill,
Glendale, Savage Station, Malvern, second
Bull Run, Chantilly, South Mountain, An
tietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville,
Gettysburg, Madison Court House, Jack's
Shop, Raccoon Ford, at the siege of Wagner
Olustee, Drury's Bluff, and was at last
wounded at Cold Harbor.
That is to say, he was in twenty-one bat
tles, and when he returnei to Richmond his
vote was rejected as a 'non-resident. ' Now
this is a little too strong. The men who
have served in the Southern armies are per
mitted to vote —but they must not expect to
keep their loyal neighbors from the polls.
There is a limit to human patience, amd a
southern loyalist who returns to the home
from which he was expelled by the enemies
of his country, and returns after serving in
the army during the war. is not to be de
nied his vote on any quibble of non-resi
t dence.
We hear that this case was presented to
the President, with the proper affidavits and
testimony to prove all its parts, and that he
immediately ordered that an election con
ducted on such principles should be annull
ed. He did right; and his action in this
case should be a warning to others in the
South who may be inclined in a like man
ner to set a penalty upon loyalty. A Southern
Union man is at least as good as a rebel; in
the general opinion of the country he is a
good peal better, if he has served in the
army.— Evening Post.

SOME ARTS OF BEAUTY.
''Beauty is ever that divine thing the an
cients painted it: and though it may some
times prove a fatal legacy to an ill-trained,
weak- minded girl, yet it is ofteoer a blessing
than otherwise, and mothers ought to strive
by all proper means to make their daughters
beautiful and engaging as well as virtuous
and truthful —and beauty can be so greatlv
eromoted, nay, it may be almost created,
V watchful care and knowledge.
Any child that has tolerable features may
nratxv. if not Ixiautiful, by nrouer
food, fresh air, good temper ana education.
Beauty of expression is the most enduring
and highest kind of beauty, and the expres
sion of the countenance is undoubtedly more
to be controlled and improved by culture
than is fairness of complexion. Every day
we see faces ugly and distorted by crossness,
anger, revenge and sensuality, which were
onee bright and lovely with the innocence
and smiles of childhood. What has chan
ged them so greatly, if not coarse food and
Bad passions?
Every cross, jealous, proud 2 scornful feel
ing, like every blow of the chisel upon mar
ble. serves to carve a line upon the features,
and each time such feelings are indulged,
the work of the invisible carver is deepened,
until the face is made ugly by unkind ana
unholy thoughts and passions.
In the same way kind, pure thoughts,
gentleness of word and deed, leave their
impress, making bad complexions and com
mon features almost radiant with the beauty
of goodnejs.
Education, both intellectual and moral,
increase beauty; a countenance beaming
with intelligence, united to a gentle winning
manner, will always be thought lovely by
sensible people, if it has no other charm,
and this beauty will endure through life.
Any one may prove the power of edu
cation upon the features by noticing the
ignorant, vicious children who are sent to a
school of reform, where .hey are properly
ffcd and instructed. Bay by day, as they
receive new ideas of right and wrong and
think new thoughts, their eyes brighten,
their cheeks assume a deeper color, and the
whole expression of the face changes.
How noble are the faces of most men
known for their culture and genius! so noble,
that in any crowd they would be noticed
and remarked upon, though unknown. It
is not that they are, in the common accep
tation of the term, handsome men, but be
cause education and intelligence has wrought
upon their features till they are grandas
the sculptured faces of heroes and demi
gods. If every mother and teacher would
but take the requisite care in the physical
and moral culture of the young, in two gen
erations the appearance of the race might
be vastly improved.
Let every guardian of youth then, impress
upon the young how tncy disfigure their
faces by ill temper, idleness and deceit, and
beautify them by kindness, truth And dili
gence in cultivation of their minds.
THE IMPORTANCE OF SLEEP.
There is no fact more clearly established
in the physiology of man than this, that the
brain expands its energies and itself during
hours of wakefulness, and that those are re
cuperated during sleep; if the recuperation
does not equal the expanditurc, the brain
withers; this leads to insanity.
Thus it is that in early history persons
who were condemned to death by heing pre
vented from sleeping, always died raving
maniacs ; thus it is that those who starved
to death, first become insane : the brain is
not nourished, and they cannot sleep. Cra
zy persons are poor sleepers, good sleepers
seldom become crazy.
The practical inferences are these :
1. Those who think most, who do most
brain work, require most sleep.
2. That time saved from necessary sleep
is infallibly destructive to mind, body, and
i estate
if. Give yourself, your children, your
servants—give all that arc under you—the
fullest amount of sleep they will take, by
compelling them to go to bed at some regu
lar hour, and to rise at a stated hour, and
within a fortnight nature, with almost the
regularity of the rising sun, will unloose the
bonds of sleep the moment enough repose
has been secured for the want of the sys
tem.
This is the only safe and sufficient rule;
and as to the question how much sleep any
one requires, each must be a rule for him
self ; great nature will never fail to write it
out to the observer under the regulations
just given.

LET US HAVE FREE SPEECH AND
FREE INTERCOURSE AT THE
SOUTH.
I nintentionally, without our knowledge,
there grow up, in our republic, two popula
tions so diverse in character, in habits and
ideas, as to form two nations. It is this
mischief which we have now to repair.—
The war has done something to cure the evil.
It has brought these two people into close,
though only momentary contact. It has re
moved many misconceptions on both sides.
It has made many friendships and has cured
spine enmities. It has changed tbe condi
tions of the task before us —to make a homo
geneous population over our whole territory.
It has removed one great obstacle to free
locomotion and intercommunication—the
slave system. But there remains still much
for us to do; and that much will require time
and the energy of our whole people, and
fortunately . nature favors our enterprise.
To overcome the adverse influences 6f clitn
ate, she assists us by the immense natural
resources of the Southern States. The iron,
the coal, the lead, the copper, the cotton,
the nee, the sugar of the South, all hold out
inducements to capital and labor.
The rivers, the natural avenues of intercom
munication, all run North and South; the
mountain ranges lie in the same direction;
in spite of climate, the continent has been
laid out by nature for the home of one great
nation. But if we have made plain what is
written above, it must he evident to the
thoughtful reader that, to reap the advan
tages which nature presents, to resist, even
with their help, the influence of climate,
this nation must be free from Maine to Tex
as —free and law-respecting. Without free
thought, free speech, a free press, and so
much general intelligence as gives toleration
and respect for law, we cannot hope either
to cure the evils which already have gained
a footing, or to form and jierpetuate a real
nation within the present limits of the re
public.
Therefore, for our own preservation, we
dare not rest until speech is as free, the law
as readily obeyed, intelligence as general,
and justice as equally administered in South
Carolina as in Massaceusetts, in Georgia as
in New \ ork, in Aakansas as in Ohio, in
Texas as in lowa.— N. Y. Evening Post.
JI STICETO THE SORTU-JI'STICE TO
THE NECRO.
Professor Theophilus Parsons, in his ex
cellent address to the President, signed by
leading citizens of Boston, says:
' 'For example, let us compare some of the
Southern States with those of the Northern
States which come somewhat near them in
population on the basis of the last census.
If we take the whole population of each
State as the number which measures the
right of representation, and suppose that
the white men alone of the Southern States
cast the votes of the States, a brief calcula
tion will show that every hundred of the
white inhabitants of South Carolina will
have as much power through their represen
tatives as two hundred and forty of the peo
ple of Iowa: one hundred white men in Mis
sissippi will equal two hundred and twenty
iTutTO lucia 111 TTlowuslu , uuc Huiiureu WUILC
men in Louisiana will equal one hundred
and ninety-eight in Maine; one hundred
white men in Alabama will equal one hun
dred and eighty-three in Connecticut; and
one hundred white men in Alabama and
Louisiana together will equal one hundred
and eighty-nine in Indiana. It is therefore
apparent that if, as the Constitution re
quires. the colored men of the South are all
counted in to measure the right of represen
tation, and are then all disfranchised, this
roust operate a proportional disfranchise
ment of the people of the North and West.
How long can it be believed that this ine
quality will be endured? On what right or
reason does it rest ? If it be that the col
ored race of the South are all wholly disfran
chised because wholly unfit for the right of
suffrage, is it also true that the white voters
of South Carolina are about two and a half
times better fitted to exercise this right
wisely and patriotically than the people of
Iowa?
WOIiLDNT MARRY A MECHANIC.
A young man commenced visiting a young
woman, and appeared to he well pleased.
One evening he called when it was quite
late, which led the girl to enquire where he
had been.
"I had to work to-night," replied the
young man.
"Do you work for a living?" enquired the
astonished girl.
"My brother doesn't work hard, and I
dislike a mechanic," and she turned up her
pretty nose.
Tins was the last time the mechanic visit
ed the young lady. Now he is a wealthy
man, and has one of the best of women for
a wife. The young lady who disliked the
name of mechanic is now the Wife of a mis
erable fool—a regular vagrant about grog
shops—and she. poor miserable girl, is obli
ged to support herself and her children.
Ye who dislike the name of mechanic,
whose brothers do nothing but loaf and
dress, beware how you distrust men who
work for a living. Far better discard the
1 well fed pauper, with all his rings and bra
zen-faoeaness and pomposity, and take to
your affections the callous-handcd, industri
ous, intelligent mechanic. Thousands have
bitterly repented the folly, who have turned
their backs to honest industry. A few
years of bitter experience taught them a
serious lesson. In this country no man or
woman should be respected, in our way of
thinking, who would not work mentally or
physically, and who curl their lips with
scorn when introduced to hard-working
men.
THE NATIONAL DEBT.
It is alleged by CoL Forney, in a letter to
the Philadelphia 7Vow. that a conspiracy is
being hatched by the rebels North and South
to foist disloyal members from the South in
to the Congress of the United States for the
purpose of discrediting the national securi
ties, and utterly repudiating the national
debt.
We have scarcely any doubt of the truth
of this statement. A large portion of the
members of the Democratic party were dis
loyal at heart during the rebellion, and are
sore and dissatisfied now that it has been
suppressed by force of arms; and as an off
set to their discomfiture, their suffrage will
invariably be given to persons, who, if not
openly disloyal, were all the time aiding and
abettiug the rebellion in secret. A majori
ty of such in Congress would as surely repu
diate the national debt as the morning would
succeed the night; and we are but little sur
prised to learn that they are already "lay
ing the ropes" to bring this unmitigated
scouudrclism about. Forewarned is fore
armed, and the people should heed these in
dications with a watchful eye, and allow no
man to represeht them in Congress or Sen
ate, that is not unequivocally pledged to the
payment of the national debt.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT.— The monthly
report of the Agricultural Department for
August, says: The returns of correspondents
show a slight falling off in the wheat crops
in New England and Middle States of some
thing over a million bushels, a loss of about
one and three-quarter millions of bushels in
the States of Maryland and Delaware, and a
deficiency of twenty million bushels in the
Northern and Northwestern States. The
corn crop exhibits greater promise. It ia
everywhere good. The potato crop is almost
as promising as the corn crop. The other
crops harvested will be ample for all domes
tie purposes, and that of oats will be very
large. The prospect, therefore, is that in
jury to the wheat crop will be more than
compensated by the excellence of the other
crops. Tobacco is the only crop which ex
hibits a general falling off in the amount
planted. The heavy revenue taxes which
manufactured produces, and the apprehen
sion of a tax on leaf tobacco, are assigned
by some of the correspondents as the reason
for the reduction. The amount of wool and
increase of sheep are shown to be on a like
proportional advance to that they have ex
hibited since 1861 J The report says the re
bellion gave to the great interest a prosperity
which protective laws under a high tariff
failed to accomplish.
PRACTICAL JOKING.—"A few days since,' 1
writes an attorney, "as I was sitting with
Brother C — in his office in Court Square, a
client came in and said:
"Squire, D— W—, the stabler, shaved
me dreadfully, yesterday, and I want to
come up with him.''
''State your case,'' says C—. .
Client —"I asked him how much he'd
charge me for a horse to go to Delham. He
said one dollar and a half. I paid him one
dollar and a half, and he said he wanted an
other dollar and a half for coming back, and
made me pay it."
C—gave him some legal advice, which
the client immediately acted upon as fol
lows :
He went to the stabler and said:
' 'How much will you charge mc for a horse
and wagon to go to Salem ?
Stabler replied—"five dollars."
"Harness him up."
Client went to Salem, came back by rail
road, went to the stable, saying—
"Here is your money, paying him five
dollars.
'Where is my horse and wagoo?" Bays
"He is at Salem/' says Client, "I only
hired him to go to Salem."
GALVANIZING REBEL LEADERS.—A eor
respondent of the New York World is en
lightening the public with the characters
and intentions or the rebel leaders while they
were in power. Jackson, according to this
writer, was the greatest and most pious
General in the world, and Lee retreated
from Petersburg against his own will. The
last fact will probably not be disputed, how
ever much the former may be doubted.
Lee's will was no doubt fixed upon retain
ing possession of Petersburg and Richmond,
but a hundred thousand sturdy veterans,
under the inflexible Grant, wanting posses
sion likewise, was the impelling power which
made Lee's legs go in the opposite direction
to his will. All these attempts to make he
roes worthy of the world's admiration out of
defunct and defeated rebel Generals are ri
diculous and demoralising. Hie true heroes
of the war are the patriots who stood by the
flag and the popular institutions of their
country. Grant. Meade, Sherman, Sheri
dan, tower above all the rebel generals living
or dead, and so history will write them
down, and their countrymen bold them in j
their grateful regards.
