Were ac opinion a personal possession of no value except to the owner ; if to be obstructed in the enjoy ment of it were simply a private injury, it rvoulJ make some difference whether the injury was inflicted only on a few persons or on many. But the peculiar evil of silenc ing tfe expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation ; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who bold it If the opinioc is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of ex changing error for truth; if wrong, they lose, what is dlmtfsf as great a benefit, the clear, er peceptioo and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.

A corfespoDdWl tf the Tribune, from foe battle-field, declares 'ihat the South has made good in the late battles all the boasts they have ever made . of their bravery " This is indeed a concession, and that, too, coming from a paper that has habitually ridiculed southern men, and predicted they would not even dare lo go to war for fear of a revolt among their negroes. We know of no journal which has been compelled to unlearn eo much as the Tiibune. For yeara the great staple of its articles against "sla very," was that it was a cause of wea1:n'as to the South, but the war bad not continued a year before it declared that it was the great cause of her strength, and that Lin coln must issue an Eerkocipatioo Proclama tion to knock the prop away. That was to end "the rebellion" in sit months, bot it stil! exists as formidable as ever. That lire army coder General Leer sir passed even itself ia the late battles, there is no doubt. The men fought, with a sub lime and moral courage never before known ia all the annals of history. It most be re collected ihat we have only the most tnea fcr accounts ef the tate battles, and they come to cs through correspondents whose every word is virtually written under the dictation of Grant or Meade. We believe there are reasons, ai d from those generally sue gested.iwhy the Sooth will fight with increased bravery. General Grant baa negroes in his army, and this fjill nerve every Southerner 10 superhuman en ergy, and make one man equal to about two. And while it will harden and cbrys talize the masses of Lee's army, it will ex ercise exactly the opposite effect upon our own army. The private may not break oat in mutiny, or murmurs even, at being placed upon an equality with negroes, bjt there is suVely not one of them who does not feel mortified at the spectacle they see about them : not one, perhaps, who is so degraded that, if left to bis own choice, would Consent to place himself under obli gatiens to a negro for bis social or political rights. No one but a deluded and debauch ed Abolitionist is low enough for that. The e fleet, therefore, of negro troops upon our soldiers must be to demoralize them, and the great amount of straggling, the num bers, according to the Washington papers, who have arrived there, and who are scat tered even across the Poiomac in the lower counVrea ef Maryland, prove that the army has been depleted from this cause more than at any previous battle. It is now announced that it will require a six weeks' campaign to take Richmond. Gen. Grant started on the 4th of May with sixteen days' supplies ; but those have been exhausted, and he has been competed to replenish before he has get twelve miles of the sixty. It is reported that he has de clared be would be in "the rebel capites'1 by the 4ih of July, to celebrate the anniver sary of the capture of Yicksburg. Let os wait patiently and see.

He has found at home that which others have to ssek abrrjsd, namely, pleasurable etci'.e meot. He has learned to think even when bis book is no longer in his band, and it i for want of thinking that youth go to ruin. Some of those who have been most emi nent io learning and science made their first attainments in snathes of time stolen from manual employment. Hans Sachs, ihe po et of the Reformation, the; Burns of Oar many, began life, as did Bares, a poor boy ; he was a tailors son, and served an sppren ticesbip, first to. a shoemaker and after wards to a weaver, and continued to work aUhe loom as long as be lived. The grtet dramatist, Ben. Johnson, was a working bricklayer and afterwards a soldier. Lin naeus the father of modern botany, was once on tbe shoemaker's bench. Our im mortal Franklin, it need scarcely be said, wr:s a printer. Herschel, whose name is inscribed on the heavens, waa the son of a poor musician, aud at the age of fourteen years was placed in a band attached to the Hanoverian Guafds. After going to England be undertook to teach music, and then be came an organist. Bet while be was sup porting himself in this wsy, ho wi.s learn ing Italian, Latin and even Greek. From music be was naturally led to mathematics, aod thence to optics nd astronomy. Jchn Dollond, the inventor of the achromatic tel escope, spent his early days at the silk Ioom.and continued io hia original business even for , some years after his eldest soa came to the age to join hint in it. Few cases are faore celebrated than tbit of Gil ford, the foupder.and editor el the Quarterly Review. He was an orphan and barely es caped the poor bonse. He became a ship boy of tbe most menial sort on board of a coasting vessel. He was afterwards for six years apprenticed to a shoemaker. In this last employment be stole time Iron the last for arithmetic and algebra, and for lack of cihef cesveaiences, aisd to work oat his problems en leather with a bloated awl. Few names are more note J in modern lit aratsts. . " Tflt New York Evening Post beseeches hs party to lay atjde tfce case ci Repub lican aod adopt thit ol Democrat. It will nerd, Ut. Post.

We quoted tbe other day from tbe Lon don Spectator a radical paper its views en tbe subject of cur troubles, guarding our selves against the suspicion of 'ass's nt to its opinions. In the same spirit, and with the same caution, wo re-produce the following from a paper which may be described as the other extreae of party opinion ia Great Britain the Standard which oar readers know is the conservative organ : This question is one of the most meaen .tous importsncs to statesmen in Europe. For if we take it for granted that tbe Aeaer icans are still to be left to themselves, we mast confess that we have no hope what ever that even a dozen more such defeats will serve to bring tbe North to terms. AM the plagues of Egypt will not peraeade them to let the people of the Booth g. Tbe only circumstance occurring in Ameri ca that can force them to de.ist in (beir ef forts at subjugation is that financial collapse which sooner or later seems inevitable, but which may, nevertheless, be almost indefi nitely postponed The other day there was a panic at New York, and for a few hours gold was 189. It may rise to 1,000 for what Mr. Lincoln cares. The immense mass of ! public men seem determined to carry on the war. The people . of the Northern States are fanatical abbot it. So long as pa per will pay for it they do not care an ieta j bow much paner is issued, or how much may be leu tor posterity 10 pay. If we had any statesman in E;!and who was able and willing' to take a bold and statesmanlike part in a quesiioa which coo corns England almost as much as America, we might yet hope to see the end of c!l ibis bloodshed, and peace and happiness might yet resume their reign over the broad fields wbfch allow so much space to every man that it is difficult to discover an excuse for civil strife. Had we now in power such a man as Pitt, or Canning, or Peel, can any one suppose that he would have allowed this deplorable war to go on to the fourth year without at leas: an attempt at media trtm I Is it conceivable that be would have witnessed, without a single pang or a soli tary expression of sympathy, the brave ef forts at independence of a people sorely outnumbered and cruelly harassed by a gang of pitiless conscripts ! Tbe aged Pon tiff at Rome gave vent the other day to bis feeling of pity for his brother religionists in Poland. With one foot already in tho grave, and with very little influence in hu man affairs, tbe old man felt Ihat there was a responsibility upon him which ihe could not resist. Had be rt'ot spoken, be said, be feared lest some day tbe Sovereign Judge might ask him, "Why didst tbon remain si lent ?" The reason is a solemn one, and was doubtless urged in good faith. It wo'd be only becoming in men whohave a migh ty power for good and for evil to weigh these words well, and take example even from a Pope. We believe firmly, and we have long believed, that the recognition of the Sou;h, and a strong expression of the opinion of Ihe English Government, would bave such weight with the people of Amer ica, and would so strengthen tbe arms of the minority of men in the North who ire in favor of peaces that the further prosecu tion of the warVould be rendered impossi ble. Lord Russell will not move a finger, will not say a word. He bas told us, apply ing tbe quotation to himself and bis policy, that ' "There' a divinity that shapes cur ends, Rough hew them bow. we may." We admit that there is much consolation in the thought. Lord Russell's ends are, bow ever, so tough bewn that, perhaps, it would be better if the divinity that shapes them vvould be so good as to break them in pie ces and recast the models. iNTiBECTiKd Incident. A correspondent with the army of the Potomac gives the following iocideut that actually occurred: Amidst all the horrors of war many inci dents occur amusing in themselves, and which sometimes, under the most trying circumstances, are provocative cf mirth, and form subjects for camp stories months after. I bare seen soldiers Chase hares and pick black-berriea when a shower of lead ed messengers of death was falling thick and fast around them and many other fool ish things. But the following, which ac tually took place at Mine Run, surpasses anything I remember to bave seen or heard: On one of those biting cold mornings, while the armies of Meade and Lee were staring at each other across tbe little revutet known as Mine Run, when moment! appeared to be hours and hours days, ao near at hand seemed the deadly strife, a solitary sheep leisurely walked along tbe ran on the rebel side. A rsbel vidette fired and killed tbe sheep, and, dropping bis gun advanced to remove tbe prize. In an iustant he was covered by a gun in the hands of a Union vidette, who said : "Divide is the word, or you are a dead Johny " This proposition was assented to, aod there, between the two skirmish lines, Mr. Rebel skinned the sheep, took feus' half and moved back with it to bis post, whtfn bis challenger In turn dropping bis gun crossed tbe run, got the other hall of the sheep, and again f esurasd tbe duties of his pest amid tbe cheers of bis comrades, who expected to help hia to eat it- Of tbe hundreds of hostile men ar ray sd tgsiast each other, on either bank of that run, not one; dared 10 viotaW the truce agreed upon by these two soldiers.

A gifted and patriotic lady of Vermont, !o a tetter en the delusion of the people in per. mating this war, asks, "do yoo believe it possible that the people will permit this horrid madness to last much linger V We can no more answer that question than we can tell how long the spasm of a maniao may last. Themadnesaof war grows on what it feeds on. A people who were mad enough to allow themselves to begin such a war, may allow it to go on until a merci ful exhaustion at last terminates their lives aDd the war together. The people Cf al most every nation bave many times allow- I ed themselves to be utterly ruined by wars wnicn were wagec to gratiiy tne amDiuon or malice of a few unprincipled chieftains. In the last year of the sixteenth tentury the people ol Fiance carried on wara until they literally reduced themteivea to skeletons. Cbantanbriand, io bia Eludes Jlisloriqie, draws this picture ol the horrid miseries which they endured to still carry on war : ''Alter feeding on all sorts of aairrltts, cats, dogs, aad such like, aod the skins of these animals, after devouring children, they ground the bones of the dead, and osed the dost in place of floor. This bread preserved its virtue,tbose who eat it died. Many died in this way. Tbe streets were strewed with dead bodies, the dying crawled anoogst them." Good God ! one one would think that Ibis experienco would bave lasted France for ever j but it did not. For in the middle of the next century we see the mass of the people made the aame unhappy wretches again by allowing themselves td be used as the implements of despotic am bition In wars. What dread ful wars I Says Yeillc!, In recording these events: "Durfug fifty years neither harvest nor vintage. Men are met so weak thai they creep along like liKzarda on a duug-h'jap. Tboy bury them selves in it at night like vermin, and exhib it themselves in sunlight almost eaten up by the worms. We see them lying in dis gusting proximity to the dead, without haviog strength to creep away. And we see what we would not dare to mention bad we not, ourselves seen it, they eat their own arms and hands, and die in their dire des pair." Iqio seen lunatics and devil does war convert a people. A nation drunk with blood i enough to make tbe god weep. Tbe people of Sweden allowd their mad king, Chas. the Twelfth, to carry on wars until all tba young men io the kingdom were slain. But there is no end to these ex amples. Now that we bave laenrbed upon this bloody tide, God only can tell when or Where we shall stop. Suoh a horrible tear delation as this breaking out in a nation, is like deadly infectious disease, that some times ravages a continent. When its work of dsath shall be atayed ne one knowath.

When we entered the store, the yoeng man in question, seeae--what noted for his loud-moatbed LViua Leaguism, was sitting nearthe counter read ing or pretending to read the Standard. He bit upon a tirade of abuse against tbe "Cap perheads," and at ooce be had a good thing on band. Near the counter purchasing groceries, were two ladies, one of tben dressed ia deep mourning. Heating ene casaal remark dropped about tbe shin plaster currency, the young man threw down the newspaper end in a loud voice commenced anathematising ell Democrats who did not sympathise with tbe Adminis tration stigmatising theni as brutes, rew. ards, copperheads, traitors, &e , &o. Fcr a time no one noticed tbe gallant Union Lea guer's remarks, and be grew more vit oper ative end vehemeat io bis denuociatisn of "eopporhtaK" At last one of the laJie turned balf rouai upon biro, and remarked that that was pretty Isnguage for a "gtotte. soau" to use in a public store ! The gallatt youiig man sneeriegly answered that bis language "was fcocd enough for Copper heads and all who sympathised wrbjbem." This was to much to be endored, end the ether lady the one dressed in mourning turned upon ber heel, swept up with a sort of indignant movement towards ber in sui ter, and looking the young man full iu the eye, said, sarcastically : ' Sir 1 my husband is a Democrat a Copperhead," as yon term them and he is on tbe battle-field with a musket io bia baud.

We vouch for tbe truth of Ihe above and it is only one incident out of many. Syra cuse Courier. t Llnesla'i Eo!d irwal tf thd Doctrine or absolutism. The Louisville Jsurnal in publishing Mr. Lincoln's late letter to Mr. Hodges, ot tbe Frankfort Commonwealth, makes the fol lowing commentary thereon. It is more just and pointed than anything we could say ; and in Ihe closing words of Prentice, we would call on every free man in tbe Union to take op the gauntlet of despotism which Lincoln baa thrown down, and meet him and bia courtiers and sycophants at tbe November election, wi;h a determination to hurl from power tbe unblushing advo cates of au absolute rule that would shame the "Autocrat ol ail the Russians "Mr. Lincoln's letter contains a more di rect and explicit enunciation of the dobtrine of absolutism than he baa ever before made. He says therein : "I foil that measures, oth erwise csconstilutional,might become law ful, by becoming indipei$ab! to the preser vation of the Constitution through the pre servation of the ratido. Right or wrong, I assumed this ground, and now avow it." That ia to say, whatever be deems Indis pensable to Ihe preservation o the nation is lawful ; which ia to say his discretion is !he supreme law of the land, anything in the laws of tbe U&ited Siatea or of any State to the contrary notwithstanding! This is a fait statement of ihe doctrine in its nat ural and naked proportions. The doctrine is simple absolutism. Mr. Lincoln mere or less openly bas been acting upon tbia doc trine for the last eighteen months; bat be bas sever beloie .so openly and broadly avowed it. y "We venture to say (hat the anr.als of Constitutional government may be searched in vain (or a parallel to this avowal. It is the most enworthy deda'ration that ever emanated from ihe chief magistrate of a free country. II it dees net awaken the people to a due aenae cf tbe peril which tbe government must encounter from the rs-elsction of B1r. Lincoln, or the election of any oiher republican, words' cannot awaken tb-m, unless followed by correal ponding deeds even more flagrant than tbe ed ct of emancipation, and thu proclama tion of reconstruction, thotigh the consum mation of these deeds threatens to involve' the destruction 6f tbe Republic.
