Should he bo from lloaling, all his comparisons and illustrations will be founded upon this, that, and tho other thing, event, circumstance, con dition, or affair in Boston. He de lights to chime in the name of Boston, and will tell you of many things "down in Boston where 1 live."

A Bp.o'ad as Long. Tho Radicals contend that because there was a riot in New Orleans, tho South nhould be denied their Constitutional rights. Let them answer whether they think tho Northern people should be denied their Constitutional rights, because Republicans havo by mob violence time nnd again torn out newspaper offices, because they have mobbed and inflicted personal injury upon Demo crat", becauso innocent men have without warrant of law been torn from their homes and imprisoned because in tho North the Union men have been persecuted by tho Radicals polit ically and socially, in their business, and even in their churches. The ar gument is as broad as long, only a little more so. J2fTho enemies of President John son ask, Why don't he punish the traitors? We answer, for tho simple reason that ho has not got the power. According to tho Constitution, Con gress has tho power to punish treason in individuals, and when it me'., Pres ident Johnson had nothing to do with tho punishment of Jeff. Davis or any other criminal. Congress adjourned without even sanctioning the trial of Jeff. Davis. Jsow, what was their reason for so doing, if they bad no ympnthy for traitors. But President Johnson has to take the blame. This is unjust. Let Congress take the bhimo 1'or not makiti ' treason odious. RunccTioN oe Atlantic Cable Fares.

Pollard's last work, entitled The Lost Cause: But the history of the Confederate authorities to relieve tbe sufferings of Anuersonville, through some presump tion of exchanges does not end with tho proposition referred to as made by Commissioner Ould, to exchange men and leave the surplus at the dis position ol tho enemy. It was fol lowed by another mora liberal and extraordinary proposition. Acting under tho direction of the Secretary of War, and seeing plainly that there was no hope of any general or extend ed partial system of exchange, Com missioner Ould in August, lbt;5,olicred to the Federal agent of exchange. Gen. Mulford, to deliver to him all the sick and M-ounded Federal pris oners we had without insisting upon the delivery of any equivalent number of our prisoners iii return, lie also informed Gen Mulford of the terrible mortality among the Federal prison ers, urging him to bo swill in sending transportation to the mouth ot the Savannah river, for this the purpose of taking them away, lhe offer ot Com missioner Ould included all the sick und wounded Andcrsonville and all other Confederate prisoners, held bv tho Confederates. lie further informed Gen JIulford, in order to make the Government safe in sending transportation, that if the sick and wounded did not amount to ten or filteen thousand men, iho Con federate authorities would make up that number in well men. The offer, it will bo recollected, was tnado early in August, ISO.'). Gen. Mulford informed Commissioner Ould that it was direct ly communicated to his Government, yet no timely advantage was ever taken of it. This interesting and important fact is for tho lirst timo authori lively pub lished in theso pages. It contains volumes of significance. The question occurs who was responsible for tho sufferings of tho sick and wounded prisoners at Andcrsonville, from Au gust ISO;) to 1M4 f Tho world will ask with amazement if it was possible that thousands of prisoners were left to dio in inadequate placcgofconfi.no tnent merely to made a case against the South merely for romance. The single fact gives the clue to tho whole story of deception nnd inhuman cruel ly of tho authorities at Washington with referenco to their prisoners of war tho key to a chapter of horrors that even tho hardy hand of history shakes to unlock.

Wvr 5n grandeur and sublimity to a total so lar eclipse, or a "leaf cornel stretched athwart tho starry heavens is a great meteoric shower, such as was witness cd here on tho 13th of November. 18U3. On this occasion, from twn o'clock till briirht davlkrht. tlm kU-v being perfectly serene and cloudless, the whole heavens were lighted with a magnificent and imposing display oi ceicsuai nrc worus. Jhisr isn nv was seen all over North Amerim A similar display was seen by Humboldt at Cumanu. South America in 17i'l A comparison of the epochs of the ap- peurancc oi inese great sliowers lias led to the discovery that they are periodic, their returns being separU-d from each other by a third part of a c-'titury, or some. mu!lit,l.i of ihi period, and tro periodical appearances 01 one grand nicieorK-ai shower. Pro fessor Newton, of Yale College, who has devoted much time to the iuvesti gation of the periodic character of these showers, finds that prodigious flight of meteors, tho most imposing of its kind, will make its appearance, probably for the hist time ii. this oon. tury, on the morning of tho I3th or 1 nn 01 November next. Only thir teen of these great showers aro record ed between JU3 and 1233. Such a rare phenomenon awakens a deep in terest among all classes of persons.
