THE GREAT SANITARY FAIR,
THK CHY IS STILL THEY COME.
THE SUCCESS ESTABLISHED.
The Groat Central Fair was again crowded on
Saturday, and every visitor who could approbate
beauty, skill, and patriotism was dolightod aftd In
structed. K may bo truly said, that where hundreds
wero expected .thousands have responded, and thus ;
the success Is more complete than its most sanguine;
friends expected. In addition to the adult visitors,
a number of the scholars of our public schools vlsltod
the Fair on Saturday, In sections. Here was pre
sented a viyid scene or tho happy hours of childhood,
when thosun oflifo shone brightly in the morning
of existence. Ho must havo lived in vain who could
not look upon such a beautiful picture, at such a
time, in such a place, without feeling a glow of
gratification. The scholars, as a general thing,
were exceedingly well-behaved. There was no rude
ness manifested by any of ithetu,.which speaks well
for the training they have received in our public
schools.
It was not surprising that In so largo a place as
the Fair* buildings, with its rectangular, circular,
and diagonal passage-ways, that children would got
astray from thoir parents or guardians. It was,
therefore, necessary to perfect the system of ar
rangements, to make the comfort and happiness of
the visitors, especially with children, more cdmpleto,
to appropriate quarters for lostchildrcn.
. Thbpolice office was at once selected as the most
suitable quarters, being located near the centre door
of exit on Eighteenth street, east end of Union
avenue. Friday and Saturday tho number of child
ren lost and restored summed up as follows:

It seems to have long been a domesticated-maxim
that the four staple productions of the State of New
Jcrseyfcconsisfc of “ pretty girls, -watermelons, canto
lopes, and sweet potatoes. s ’ If anybody has doubts
as to the former, they will be dispelled, like mist
before the morning sun, by visiting the avenue ap
propriated to our sister State. It is the northern
section from Union avenue, on Eighteenth street,
The interior of this beautiful and patriotic wing or
nave is decidedly attractive and meritorious. Every
thing is arrarfged with artistic taste and skill j the
displays are magnificent, and among them are arti
cles of,rare value, connecting the present with past
ages. The festooning or groupingof the national
emblem presents a picture upon which the patriotic
eye may well linger. Almost any person; might
suppose, without any great stretch of the iaiagiha-*
nation, that New Jersey avenue is the resting place
of the Goddess of Liberty.
"Wo observe, among the variety of things exhi
bited, a large number of the battle-torn flags of the !
New Jersey regiments, which are profusely or ela
borately arranged to directly meet the least ob

J. H. Stevens of Camden, Judge Carpenter, and A; t
G. Cattcll, have been very active in the patriotic;;
work of collecting principal articles f#r the Fair. :
These gentlemen, with a full corps of assistants, aro’-
.yet busily, engaged in. continuing their efforts for
the credit of the State of New Jersey, and are do-;
tonuined that it shall not be behind any in devotion
to the .humane cause for which the Sanitary Com

JFOT7K, COMPOSITION'S.
There are fourartistic compositions which form a
portion of the decorations in Union avenue. They
are so skilfully arranged, so appropriate, and en
tirely patriotic, that; they, deserve-special mention,
and admiration. To describe one is all
that isnecessary, excepting, perhaps, thateaohof the
four compositions contains a different portrait, 1 The
four portraits are.excellent oil paintings, lifo s size, of.
•President Lincoln, ex-President Monroe, General
Z. Taylor, and General Scott. •

These materials consist of alUheparaphemaliaiinci

each other, the flags 4 being- artistically arranged in
festoons 5 then from each sidevthere project, in patri
otic luxurlousness, five national-emblems, the fields
;of which are so adjusted, one above the other, as to
present a beautiful pyramid of stars ; the rod anti
white 1 stripes are nicely folded so as to give a
perfect finish to the picture. The entire. base
of,thia beautiful illustration of the accoutrements
fofjl war consists ol spears, axes, hooks, artillery,
ahd'Tinfantry.generally, cavalry, and everything
else 5 which makes up the sum-of all the :ma».

prdty little pictures, chiefly in" oil, by • artists: of'

THE J NDIAN DEPARTMENT.
This'department was duly inaugurated on Satur
day evening. There . wbro two performances, at
which the crowded audiences were highly delightod
and convulsed with laughter at the grotesque group
ings, gyrations, qiid dances of the aborigines.. This
institution was projected by Mr. Oloincnt B. Bar
clay, and all the arrangements wore perfected by
him witliout any expense to the Commission. The
experience at the Now York Fair, as far aa relates
to the Indians, has induced Mr. IL, tho manager, to
adopt the most stringent rules, so as to conduce to
the pleasantness of the visitors, and to prevent the
aborigines from roaming about the Fair botwocn
the performances.
On the occasion of the openingtho room was filled
to Its utmost capacity'. There is a fund of merri
ment in store for the patrons* of tho Fair. Tho time
of each performance is limited to half an hour.
This is an admirable arrangement, because it will
afford thousands an opportunity to indulge in a
sight of a truly novel spectacle.

large number of artiol&of a varied’character have
been lost and founC. .persons visiting the Fair.
The loser is at a lo£s*io know whfcre to report tho
missing article that perhaps be able to as
certain its and the honest finder is
in a like quandary tuiknow how to dispose of any
thing he may have found: On every day and even

several state the articles of value, and also
of others who have fbund the; iiko, and were at a
loss to know how to W”® of thorn,- Upon much
consideration I thinfc‘it%ould in justice to the un
fortunate loser bo proper for the committee to esta
blish a “Xost and Found Department,” designated
as such upon a! and have printed
cards in the various; departmonts announcing, to
persons. having lost , articles of any description to
report said loss to the department, and all persons
having found the like toplease return to the said
department, the names of the loser and lost arti
cle.to be entered in a book for.that jiurpose, a mode
rate charge to be made for soloing, and on return
of the article to the oguer, to charge a small re
ward or fee. Such a department would undoubtedly
meet with success and ;award satisfaction to the
loser, finder, and committee. A

In answer to the correspondent we may state that

Opinions of the Press on the Renoinina
tion of Abraham Lincoln.
From the Sun, - Independent.
The Republican party being’: thus divided, the
radicals having' chosen Fremont as their standard
bearer, and “the unconditional*? men' Mr. Lincoln,
the Democratic' party will unite upon some strong
"candidate, and “charge updrihe enemy” with all
the desperation of men determined to regain the
power they possessed to departing from
those principles of democracy over recognized os
the basis of-pure Democratic faith. When the
Northern Democrats refusal, to lagkmmn the “signs
o£the times,” and the Southern slave
holders to institution at variance
-with the democratic doctrine of the “greatest good
tojthe greatest number,'” IBSlr power begau to wane,
untilfinally defeat has taught theta that the Ameri
can people-will not give great principles for the
sake of mere party. . ■
All tills is of the past. ' Thectoitl of a great majo
rity of the Unionists,has.bgcn AedJtLandit saysr “Let
us hafe Abraham Lincoln.as oar president for an
other term!” We bow-to and ardent
ly hope that the result may vindicate their sagacity
.and prove our apprehensions unfounded. •
As to the selection of Andrew Johnson for Vice
President, it is, in many respects, a happy one. .
The great Union party has made this re-nomina
tion-not to vindicate or reward Abraham Lincoln;
but because his first term.Ms' attested his. thorough
devotion to the cause, ability to shape
its policies wisely and. sue cess sdlyj has identified
him completely, beforeVrcbeldm. and before the
world as its foremost exp«i§eht; and because all
changes of tried iOr untrieumeft;in a great national
emergency, of necessity involve , more or less risk.

.New York Evening Post. *
Hr/ Lincoln’s renomination. to : the Presidency by
the Convention that has just closed-its labors at
Baltimore was so universally expected that it takes
nobody by surprise. Whatever may be said of- his
character, or of bis administration of the Govern
ment, it4s not to be denied that he enjoys the favor
and confidence of the:people. ln their conviction of
his complete integrity, of his homely good sense and
honesty of purpose, they,overlook.*iis defects, they
pardon his mistakes; they are-prone to forgive even
his occasional lapses into serious and dangerous
abuses oJumwer.
It wouErbo easy to find among our distinguished
men, they say, persons who are capable of a more
comprehensive, consistent, and dignified statesman
ship than Sir. Lincoln; there are those who possess
more vigorous and rapid executive abilities; there
are those who have a quickehporception.of tho real
character and interests of the hour, A nobler ideal
of its duties, a more refined discernment and a more
heroic courage; and who more, truly, fulfil the old
traditional notions or leadership among men; but
there are few or none who reflect more elosely the
average intelligence and average virtue of the Ame
rican people, or who are likely to maintain a stric
ter fidelity to the great general objects they have in
view in the prosecution of this war*

The Convention did fchovwork'laid out for it.
■ * * ■*• There was a man once who was - so fre
quently chosen to office by the Legislature of Con
necticut, that it Is said the clerk o£ the House was
accustomed to call the vote as'follows; “Gentlemen
will please step up to the clerk’s desk and deposit
their votes for Samuel Wyllls for Secretary of
State.” The Baltimore Convention was managed
in much the some way. -
Mr. Lincoln, in effect,'has renominated himself.
The Baltimore Oonventionwas:'but the engino he
constructed and used to give publicity to - the fact.
Tlic sublime impudence of ike man in thus thrust
ing himself for re-eloction before a people that ut
terly abhor and despise him; is in-strict accordance
with his character and antecedents; Elevated to
the Presidency by a politlcalMicoldent, he proposes
hnow to retain Mb seat.by corruption . and violence.
; If the people, after their expression, permit it, they
•will be deserved to be ruled by him.
The popular-regard for- Mr. Lincoln is due, in
great part, to his personal character, to his sincerity
and honesty.. Ho is not a great man. ‘He has not
the sagacity of the statesman.' as Com
ffiander-in-uhief of the armieSkhaa provod unfortu
nate : yet, with all these drawpack'spko has seemed
so wiiling'to do just what the'bpuntry required of
him, so steadfast, so honest ylias "provided 'so well
against foreign war; has < endeavored so wisely to
harmonize, the, North-.in the aspiration of the war
'party for National liberty, and £>f the other for tho
conservation of vested rights, tpafc the people feel
somehow that he is an eminently safe man to be
{Charged with tlio conduct ol&ttflairftja-t a time when
perhaps, areally more brilUffht and wiser statesman
would be thrown off his balance..
v Of all the men * who have f filled the President’s
office, ho is tho least capable, manly, practical, or
consistent; and just when the highest qualltlosof
statesmanship are required, his iriends. from a pure
party and-selfish stand-point, have put him before
the people-for ire-election. we know not what
greater calamity God has in store for this tried and
sulTerlng nation, but wo pray most fervently that
this new cup of sorrow may pass - from it.r Surely
thoro ; must bo thousands of .men. who support tho
Administration because it is the Administration,
who do not endorse Mr. Lincoln’s conduct and ca
pacity. .
The Baltimore platform is.an insult to the Ameri
can people, to their intelligence, their liberty, and
their dignlty-rbut the people’s reply to it will short
ly bo uttered. . -- :
The Convention has given us a strong ticket. The
renomination of our present worthy President was a
foregone conclusion, tho people'everywhere having
long ago declared for him. llis honesty, his sagaci
ty, bis firmness, his kindness of heart, his devotion
to the Union, and his fidelity to Freedom kayo en

platform of principles. It is progressive. Besides
being thoroughly anti-slavery, it defines, in lan

There is no question for a moment that the
sion orthe National Union Convention at Baltimore
yesterday, renominating President Lincoln for an
other term, is the simple reflex of the opinions and

The Erie (Pa.) Despatch.
-The Baltimore Convention has done what it was
apparent from the first that it would do, and what
the sentiment of the people compelled it to do, in
the nomination of Abraham Lincoln for President.
Any other course—even a postponement of action—
would have been a violation of the popular will,
which has at last put itself in advance of the
schemes of politicians, and taken the nomination
from their bands, That the people will bo faithful
to the obligation thus assumed, we have the best
reasons for believing.
The Scranton (Pa.) Republican.
Just as every loyal man at the North hoped and
expected:
feared—but an event which the “Radical Conven
tion” at Cleveland hoped to prevent—Abraham
Lincoln was unanimously declared by the delegates
of the Union Convention at Baltimore on Wednes
day the choice of the people of the loyal States for
the next Presidency; ana, for Yice President, the
Convention nominated that noble patriot,' Andrew
Johnson, of Tennessee. '
The Troy (N. Y.)Times.
A change in the Chief Magistracy .would be Inju
rious even if a better and-abler man could be chosen.
But no matter how many other great and able men
belong, to' the Union party, aha might be trusted
with the helm of. State, there is no doubt that Mr,
Lincoln is- of all our men the most popular, the
most trusted, the most respected, the most beloved.
ITbeTroy (N. Y.)Whig.
We know of no public man who, in our opinion,
would have come nearer to it than Mr. Lincoln has
—and, considering the advantages oniis experience,
we know of none who would be as likely to finish up
the great work committed to his hands, in a manner
to preserve the national life, and restore and re-in
vigorate the national power. Wo say this in the
full persuasion that the lessons of experience will
not be lost on him, and that he will properly con
sult and defer to that enlightened public opinion to
Which he will owe his re-election.
The Chester (P& ) Republican.
We enter into the contest with tried aml approved
men. and-the loyal people of the Union will ratify
the choice of the Convention at the polls, in Novem
ber next, by a majority unprecedented in the politi
cal history of our country. .
The Cincinnati Gazette.
The hold which Mr. Lincoln has upon .the hearts
of the jjeople is due to their belief in his sincere de
termination to extinguish slavery. Although they
may differ in opinion on the propriety and efficacy
of his emancipation proclamation, and although
they miay not see the results of that which appear,
to him, yet the very radical extent of this measure,
which at a word declared tlio abolition of slavery
in ten States, is proof to the people of his purpose
to destroy slavery by whatever means may be found
necessary to accomplish that end. * ■
The Cleveland Leader.
The. ticket nominated 'and the platform adopts!
were both of the strongestand best material, and
will command, the enthusiastic and whole-hearted
support of every true and loyal citizen. For the
manner in which the Convention has discharged the
work entrusted to it; it deserves the thanks of the
great Union party of the nation.
The Chicago Times.
The Convention had ceased to excite the public in

the public Interest when the public became. Con
scious tkat.it wouldbeapacked assemblage. What
Interest could the public feel in it! It would be Mr.
Lincoln’s automaton. He bad created it. It would
be composed of Ms office-holders, his contractors, his
dependants. It would simply meet to do that which
he had appointed it to do. It would simply come
together, register his decrees, and separate. Every
body knew what those decrees were.. Everybody
knew that he had decreed his own ronomination, and
that the vote registering this decree would be a hol
low form and mockery. \
The Toledo <O.) Blade.
Probably no man—certainly none since the days
of Monroe—has had such a hold on the confi

Lawrxnck M. ICkitt. —Another of the loaders,
and originators of the slaveholders’ rebellion has
gone to ms reward. L. M.Koltt, the companion of
Preston Brooks in his cowardly assault on Mr.
Sumner, was shot a few days ago in one of the
fights near Richmond—“pierced through the lungs
by a hireling bullet,” to quote the grandiloquent
phrase of ono of the Richmond papers. He was'
colonel of the 20th South Qarolma Roglment.: : .;
This Kcitt was a fair example of the kind of men
produced under a system of slavery. : By education
and association he ought,to have been a gentleman;
he came of a wealthy family, was carefully and ex
pensively educated, was graduated with honors
from tho South Carolina State University had tra
veled abroad, and thus had many opportunities to
acquire the manners and morals of a gentleman.
But ho was bom amongst .slaves, brought up
with them, and tho influences and ; temptations to
which ho was thus exposed woropoworfui and seduc
tive enough to: counterbalance all the training
of the schools and of association with freemen.
He became arrogant, crue!,ablustoror; dlsrospoctlul
oflaw; not only his habits but ovon Ms manners
were corrupted ; Ms Scholarship did not chasten Ms
stylo of oratory, which was bombastic and melo
dramatic ; Ms intercourse with his equals did not
irivo him tho self-command or the reticence of a
gentleman—for howas loud-voiced, a bully, abound
ing in threats, and capable, as tho share he took in
the attack on Senator Sumner showed, of noting
tho partof helper to an assassin. When, at another
time, ho rushed up to Sir, Grow and demanded,
“Wlmt right have you to speak 1” being promptly
knocked down for his impertinence,he was fora
time quieted—as another or the slaveholders, Roger
A. Pryor, was by tbo manner in which ho was mot
by 2li. foUer.-tfcw i’orS

During the month of December last, Governor
Vance, of North Carolina, wrote a'latter in the
peace spirit to Jefferson Davis, of whose reply the
allowing Is a portion:
“ The third time, a few months ago, * gentleman
was sent whose position, character, and reputation
were such as to insure his reception, If the'onenig
were not determined to roccive no proposals what
ever from the Government. Vico President Ste-
Ehcnsmade a patriotic tender of hisservices," in the

ty, and",, although little bcllof was entertalnod of his
success, Dches'rfully yielded to his suggestion that
the experiment Should he tried. The enemy refused
to let film pass through their lines, or to holdany
conference with ‘.them. Ho was stopped before ho
even reftchetl'Fortress Monroe, on his wav to ■Wash

On the 4th day of-JaTy last-the day after Leo's

known in RichmondMthcr following correspondence
Trashed:
; FORTBIMS HOXROE, July 4-IsB3.
U. S. Sleaixer Minnesota, 2P. M,
Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy:
The following communication is just, received,
rom Mr. Stephens, who- !s ; ots the flag-of-fmee boat
anchored above.
/ Xshall inform Mr. Stebhbns that I await your in
structions before giving him l an answer.
S; : Hi X*kb, AdmiralVfitcr.
Confederate States- Steamer Torpedo,
In .Tastes Kivu*, July 4,1808;
Sir : As Military Commissioner, lam the bearer
of a communication, in writings from Jeiferson Da
vis, Commnnder-!n-Chief of thcrland and naval
forces of the Confederate States? to Abraham Din-,
coin, Commander-in-Chief of tae land and naval
forces of 'the "United Stotes. The'Hon. Robert
Ould, Confederate States Agent* of Exchange, ac
companies roe as secretary, lor tHe- purpose of de
livering the'communication in person and conferring
upon the subject to which it relates. I desire to
proceed to Washington in the steamer. Torpedo,
commanded by Lieut. Hunter Davidson, of the Con
federate States Navy, no person being'on board but
the Hon. Mr. Ould, myself, and the boat’s officers
and crew. Amours, most respectfully,
• Alex. H. Stephens.
To S. Hi Lee, Admiral.
Acting Rear Admiral S. H. Lee, Hampton Roads:
The request of Alex. H. Stephens is inadmissible.
The customary agents and channels are adequate
for all needed military communications and confer
ence between the United States forces and the in
surgents. Gideon Welles,
Secretary of the Navy.
• Tho>bove tells its own story. There was not a
whisper, a hint,' an intimation, that Stephens’ er
rand was one of peace. On the contrary, he pre
cluded any such presumption by announcing him
self as deputed by the Commander-in-chief of the
Confederates to confer with the highest military
authority.on our side. And his most extraordinary
and utterly wanton demand to bo allowed to- take
a Confederate gunboat around from -Richmond to
■Washington, instead of coming direct by land-, gave
to Ids. demonstration the character of a military
and naval rcconnoissanee rather than that of a
.peaceful mission. We doubt that a hostilo gunboat
was over permitted to make such a voyage.
: And now will the Daily News— which often, with
or without reason, assails our (not its) President
•with charges of overstepping the constitutional limi
tations ofhis powers—answer us this plain questionl
What clause of our Federal Constitution authorizes
the President to receive and treat with a deputation
from any of our thirty-four Slates a-s the diplomatic
envoys of an independent foreign power?
■The Malden Murder—tetter from Mrs.
Green.
The following is the letter which was addressed
by Mrs. Green to the Governor, pleading for mercy
to her husband, the convicted murderer
Malden, .Tune 1,1864.
Silt; I make no apology for bringing myself to
your notice; there is none needed; but I come, a
wife, begging the life of one dear to her, even her
husband. . -
I am aware, sir, of the position in which you
stand ; aware what an important stepyou are about
to take; important; as regards your position in the
world where the cry is ever blood for blood. But
they tell mo you are a Christian; and if so, I know
your heart revolts at the idea of carrying out a law
made by men whose religion rested only in their
heads, and had not yet worked down to their hearts.
/ Oh, sir, I beg you to consider well before you take
this terrible step..
Oh, sir, consider his former life.
In the year that we lived together he was the kind
est, best of husbands. Those who know him best will
testify to his uniform kindness to all. In the posi
tion which he occupied all liked him. Selfishness
seemed to form no part ofhis disposition.. A happy,
good-natured man, it washis joy to make inose
around him happy.. : -
. Sir.ifyou haa known him thus,"the conviction,
woula have come to your heart, as it doe 3 to mine,
that it must have been in a moment of insanity that
he committed that terrible deed.
Oh, Sir. our Father, who looksjnot on the outward
deed but judgeth the inmost heart, alone knows
what made him do it; but He, knowing that none
but Himself may judge the heart of man, has com
manded us, “ Judge not, lest ye bo judged.”
Sir,- are they sure who cry so steadily for his blood
what , their own spirit is 1 Arc they sure that they
are not in their vindictiveness . worse than he?
Christ says: “Ye have heard it said by them of old
time, Thou shalt not kill, but I say unto you, Whoso
is angry with his brother without cause shall be In
danger of the judgment.”
Oh, sir, Is it not well to examine our own hearts
before we so condemn others ? Oh, if this is so im
portant a step to take before the wojid, how much
more: so is it before our Heavenly Father? Sir, I
pray you be merciful.
;Sir, If his heart was so wicked as some may be
lieve, would not my heart turn against him? Sir,
I- have. been brought up to abhor wickedness and
crime in its gentlest phases. Could I, then* so love
him, if Ms heart was so wicked ? Oh, I implore you
to let your heart and conscience plead with your
reason in this trial of your Christian love.
; Sir, consider—ia .this case not sent you by Our
Father [as] atrial of your Christian faith, standing
in the high place you occupy—opposed to the
worldly policy which too often characterizes our
appointed rulers 1
- Hark! the Great Judge of all speaking through
-His Son, our elder brother: “ Blessed are the merci
fuVfor they shall obtain mercy.”
Sir,.with one last appeal to your heart for mercy,
I am yours, Clara It. Green.

.PABistAv Beauty.—A correspondent of the
' transcript , writing from Paris, says: I think I have
discovered the secret of the peculiar beauties of the
Parisian women. I moan tho smoothness of their
skin and its delicate coloring. It is owing* to the
constant rise of Jaredte “Email de Paris. ss Per
haps you don’t know what the Email de Paris Is 11t
is not paint, not powder, not ointment, but a most
delicious preparation tkatgivesboth. the complexion
and texture of polished ivory to the skin. It is used
here by every woman who can; afford it, from the
Empress herself down to tho pretty gmnfidre, who
smites at you and ogles you-over the counter as she
tries,on your gloyes in the Rue de la Pals. The lo
retteSj who, after all, are the originators of all the
fashions here, use this universally, the famous Ri
golboclie, it is said, being the first who brought it
into general notice. Jules Jared himself Is a sort of’
magnanimous Quasimodo, ugly and deformed, but
with, a rare love of the beautiful, since he has mar
ried a beautiful; wife, and given to humanity the
Email do Paris. Jules bas made a fortune with the
Email, and lives in a cb arming cottage omie (as the
French call a villa) at’Sleudoh, receiving numerous
friends (of his wife’s) and innumerable agents ofthe
“Email de Paris” from all parts of the world.
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
Subscriptions to the ten-foriy loan were comparatively
small last week, and it is not. expected that the loan
will be so freely taken until after the proposed sale of
bonds is made,though it is quite probable that investors
who may be successful bidders for the ISSI loan will do
relatlvely.no better*.even if as well, as to subscribe for
the ten* forties at par. The loans of the Government
are undoubtedly the best form of investment, for the
people’s money, and that the people so. regard it is
shown by the eager subscriptions to every loan yet au
thorized by Congress. There have been, .from time to
time, reports circulated in commercial journals that
Secretary Chase was considering proposals from foreign
capitalists to take our loans. The foreign capitalists hare
not yet come'forward,.nor should we be particularly
anxious that they should. We can get along \jvithbnt
their assistance. The past three years-proves this. At
no period in our national struggle havo the people ofthe
North shown a disposition to withhold their pecuniary
means from the Government. In the gloomiest inter
vals of the war, in the midst of disaster, and defeat the
national treasury has been kept full aad flowing. Our
soldiers have been paid; the vast expenses of the Go
vernment promptly met, and a. readiness shown by all
classes in subscribing to the popular loans that is unpre
cedented in history. The national currency and the na
tional bonds have been interwoven into the financial and
social system in a way that cannot be overthrown, and
so regulated as to excite the admiration of friend and
foe. We have never urged the taking of the Govern
ment loans on the ground of patriotism. That they hare
not been taken on that ground ia shown by the fact that
the Southern sympathizers are in many cases very large
holders. 1 Our greenback currency oven in the South is
at a largo premium, and though the authorities may in
terdict its circulation, the people show, by their desire
to obtain it, its great value as compared with their own.
