Radicalism, like ;jealousy, seems to
make the meat it feeds on; those sfflicted
with that mania are carried on from one
stage of it to another with wings even as
"swift as meditation," itself." Some of
these incurable lunatics have within the
hat ;won, become ravitg maniacs. Hay
iug long silica satisfied themselves of the
equality of the African with the Caucasian,
they now advance a step further and de
clare the former'e superiority. " The
sculptor, who from out of the rock, brings
the image of a God to light," undergoes
a weary process before he accomplishes
his undertaking; but our radical leaders,
see in their sable brethren a race already
perfect, possessing action "like an angel
and comprehension like a God." We are
positively informed by our radical philos
ophers, that the irfhtitution of slavery has
a degrading effect upon the whites where
it exists; and the same authority assures
us that the African, in many respects, is
superior even to the boasted and marvel
ous grandeur of the Anglo-Saxon. So, it
will be seen, that while the "American of.
African descent " degrades his white
brother in one relation, he elevates, enobl es
and improves him in. another—at least, so.
reason the radicals, and they ought to
know,
In
revolutionary times, when fanaticism
is a power, the wildest opinions are those
which hold temporary sway; the fanatics
and. infidels of the French revolution, in
their frenzy worshipped as the Goddess of
Liberty, a creature whose virtue had long
before been doubted ; our American fa
notice with like halucination, degrade
•
thenitelves by worshipping an inferior
race as the very God of their idolatry.
At a regular anniversary meeting of the
American Anti-Slavery Society, held in
New York one evening last week, Mr.
Tilton, a leading Abolitionist, not only
advocated the superiority of the Ethiopean,
but suggested amalgamation in order to
improve the present race of Americans.
We learn that he spoke of the relative
positicn of the African race as higher
than that of several other races, and thus
entered into an elaborate argument in fa
vor of amalgamation as the great future
of oar country and race—its highest per
fection coming where the amalgamation
is most complete. He continued :
" G'reat nations get the fibre of their strength
out of mixed blood. It is •a stoppage of the
world's growth to prevent a union of races. The
history of the world s progress, the history of the
eivilizaticn Of all empires, is written in one com
prehensive word, which many men are afraid to
speak and many others afraid to her, and that
word i B- AMALGAMATION. We have need of the
negro mirth—need of him for his imitating fecal
t.es. Othello wit never be fitly represented
until you Parmit anegro to go upon the boards to
represent that character. We have need of the
negro for his mmical faculties. The negro is a
superior man—in some respects he is the greatest
of men."
Without undertaking to examine how a
superior race can be improved by admix
ture with its inferior, we are inclined to
the belief that the amalgamation of some
branches of the American with the Ethi
opean, would produce an improvement
upon either. Amalgamate our cold, icy,
pulseless and savage fanatic, without
"music in his soul," with an "American
of African descent," and we are sure that
the issues would be the founders of a su
perior race. The frimlity, docility, and
the animal of the latter, would do much
to soften the rigid, exacting an intoler
ant nature of the other. This amalgams- .
tion we - would favor to an extent, but just
then we would stop, for fear of having
the humor and mirth or the negro forever
lost, because of its contact with the chill
ing, and freezing, and nipping nature a
the other branch
We think Mr. Tilton mistaken in his
conception of Othello, and also in his be
lief that we will never eee it fitly repre
sented until it ie done by a negro.—
We have seen several negroes attempt
the character of the Moor, and without
saying anything of their conception of the
character itself, it is sufficient to say that
the blank verse was itself too much for
them. They were, indeed, "imatative,"
as Mr. Tilton observes, but nothing at all
like the original. Bat we do not perceive
wby Othello would be beet suited to the
capabilities of a negro tragedian, unless it
be because he says he fetches "his life and
being from men of royal siege;" Mr.
Tilton thinks the negro. superior to the
white man, and reasons that he would be
a fitter representative of a character which
descended from a superior race. But the
obstacle of mastering the distinct enuncia
tion of the blank verse of Othello by a gen
uine negro or half breed, will remain an
insurmountable barrier to their ever
achieving anything like lofty histrionic
renown.
Mr. Tilton's idea of the dramatic
genius of the negro being so profound, we
wonder that he did not associate it with
the metaphysical Hamlet instead of the
jealouS Moor. Shakspeare appears to
have exhausted himself in the production of
that incomprehensible creation,the proper
conception of which has been in dispute
from the day of its first production until
the present time. The great John Philip
Kemble, the Hamlet of his day, once re•
marked that he had been studying and
acting thatcharacter for thirty years, and
yet he was not satisfied with his concep
tion of the part. Now here is an oppor
tuuity for one of Mr. Tilton's superior
race; it requires each a one to give the
auditor a Proper idea of the passage from
Hamlet, containing the following lines:

MAGNIFICENT LYING
The New York Evening Post one i day
last week had a chapter upon the phe.
nomenon of lying, suggested by the stu
pendous falsehoods circulated in relation
to Gen. Hooker and his presumed per
formances. The article concludes in this
way:
"But the Philadelphia editors and cor
respondents surpass all others in what has
been termed magnificent lying. Who but
they told us of Keys's capture of Rich
mond—who but they saw Hooker's re
crossing. of the Rappahannock ? Of the
former wonderful exploit they gave us no
details, but of Vooker's they told us every.
thing: how two columns, under Sedgwicic,
crossed first without opposition; how
Hooker himself followed with other col
umns; how they searched the whole coun
try round about for the rebel army and
could not find it; and how they were ad
vancing gallantly towards Gordonsville or
Richmond, or some other stronghold.
Now, were the editors imposed on, or did
they invent all this? They certainly owe
the public some explanation of the stories
they caused so many to believe.
At the same time, let us hint to the au
thorities at Washington that if they would
be somewhat more communicative, if they
would regard the people of the United
States as a people having a great and
lively interest in the progress of military
operations, and if they would satisfy that
interest by clear and promptly-mnda com
munications to the public, these, however
brief, would render systematic lying not
impossible, but ineffective. When the
telegraph is open to everybody, false re- ,
ports become useless, because the truth
can overtake it at once, But when the
telegraph is in government hands, the
rogues get twelve hours or more the star
of the constables.

A Manly Protest from High Re
publican Authority.
BURNSIDE AND VALLANDIGHAII
T General Burnside's response to the Cir.
cuif Court from which a writ of habeas
corpus was asked in the case of C. 1,. Val
landigham, arrested for treasonable words
spoken, and tried by a military commis
sion, is published on another page. It is
BO patriotie in spirit, so decided in its ex
pressions of loyalty, and so nobly bold in
taking the resposibility. that we almost
dislike to question its propriety. Yet, we
think dangerous fallacies run through it
which ought to be exposed. General
Burnside will himself be among the first
to rectify his positions as soon as it is made
manifest to him that they are wrong.
Vallandigham's offences, moreover,
have been as yet confined to the use of
foolish words. He calls Mr. Lincoln bad
names; he denounces the Republican par
ty; he abuses Burnside's new military or
ders; and his example and hi instruc
tion; are exceedingly pernicious. But
alas, we cannot, in the spirit of Anachar
sis Kloot's demand, hang all the dastards
and scoundrels at discretion. Vallandig
ham has not, that we hear, committed any
overt act of treason; he has not resisted
the laws, though he has perhaps counsell
ed resistance; and until he does, his silly
babbling, like Brook's and Wood's, must
be allowed to pass for what it is worth. It
is not likely to persuade more than a few
ignorant or malignant men to do wrong.
Besides, no governments and no authori
ties are to be held as above criticism or
even denunciation. We_know of no other
way of correcting their faults—spurring
on their sluggishness, or restraining their
tyrannies—than byjopen and bold discus
sion. How can a popular government,
moat of all, know the popular will, and
guide its course in the interest of the
community, unless it be told from time to
time what the popular convictions and
wishes are? Despotism, like that of Louis
Napoleon or the Czar of Russia, have no
need of this inspiration, and control from
the people, because they are not admiuis•
tered in the interests of the people, and.
look to those of a single man, or a family,
which can very well manage its own affairs.
But a republic lives alone in its fidelity to
the sentiments of the whole nation.
Abuses and licenses of course adhere to
this unlimited freedom of public criticism;
bat these are apparently inseperable from
the use, and without the abuse, we should
scarcely have the use. It is a question,
too, who is to draw the line between the
use and the abuse outside of the courts
established for the detection and punish•
ment of all offences? If Vallandigham's
peace nonsense is treasonable, may not
Greeley's be equally so? If he cannot
arraign the conduct of the war, can Mr.
Schalk, who has written a book on strategy, is
which the severest arraignment of it yet
printed? If he may not question the jus
tice or the propriety of Burnside's orders,
may the Evening Post or a thousand other
journals venture to hint a doubt of the
superhuman military abilities of General
Halleck? We know it may be said that
his motives are bad and treasonable, while
those of the others are loyal; but tribu
nals and commissions cannot inquire into
motives. Deeds are tangible, but not
thoughts.
The Tribune observes : "We agree
fully with Gen. Burnside that Val. ought
not to make such speeches—that he ought
to be ashamed of himself—but then he
will make them and won't be ashamed—
so what will you do about it? "Send.him
to the Dry Tortugas" says the General
"—probably as a hint to him to dry up.'
Set him over into Dixie," the Preei•
dent is said to suggest as an alternative.
But this is the worst joke Mr. Lincoln has
yet made.

Tie Itelgn of Terror Necessarily
of Short Duration,
The reign of terror of the French revo•
ration lasted from 1792, till 1794, and
prepared the way for absolute monarchy.
All its leaders ascended the scaffold/and,
sea lasting consequence of their misdeeds,
their ghosts continue to be the terror of
the French people whenever an effort is
making to gain a larger field for the ex
ercise of the reign of freemen. The in
famy of that reign and the detestation in
which the memory of its champions is to
this day held by all classes of society,
have made even liberty an object of ap
prehension ; and we have seen a Bona
parte, the Bourbons, the Orleans, and at
last Napoleon 111., triumph over the pop
ular will, simply because any form of
Government, even without freedom is
preferred to the of a faction without law.
Even Lafayette, "the citizen of two
worlds," preferred a King to a Republic,
with te unchecked Jacobin rule ; and the
present Emperor Napoleon 111. is willing.
ly accepted by the French people as the
man who is ready and able to keep the
Red Republicans out of power I Ofthree
persons who support him, there are per
haps two who dislike him personally; but
they prefer him to a Republic, with a Ja
cobin faction lurking behind it. And so
it will ever be in France. The Reign of
Terror, like Macbeth, has murdered sleep,
the ghosts of the Jacobins have almost
entirely destroyed the faith in popular
government.
And so it will be here if a lawless fac
tion is permitted to make sport of the
Constitution and laws o' the country.
Let license be granted to popular passion,
let factions run riot and attempt to es
tablish power by brute force, and a reign
of terror will soon follow ; but it will be
of short duration, and cover its instigators
with defeat and disgrace. Pwstons that
are directed against one man to-day may
be hurled against another to-morrow ;'the
house that is burned to-night may lead to
a conflagration to-morrow, till the general
sense of insecurity will make the people
submit to any Government, nay, to any
man, who shall be able to keep the fac
tious down, rather than continue the sys
tem under which they can enjoy neither
tranquility nor safety. Who, then, suffers
more than the wealthy classes? tis the
manufacturer, the merchant, the capitalist
who has to pay the expenses of the New
Government, for the simple reason that
they have the means to do it, and that
money is more easily obtained from them
than from the honest laborer whom the
revolution has thrown out of employment.
It is the possessing classes who, in revo
lutions, have always to "pay for the
whistle "
But our Republic is young, and our
men of fortune have made money without
acquiring experience. They certaintly do
not sufficiently reflect on their own
position. "Property," says Burke. is
inert, and, consequently, eminently con•
servative ;" but our men of property seem
to reverse the rule, and under the influence
of the Jacobin Leagues, 1 0 become emi•
neutly destructive. We would warn theme
to reflect a little before they lend them
selves blindly to the intrigues of a fat'•
tien which is even now playing -.its last
card.--Age.

"Gen. Hooker arrived in town this
morning and visited the President. He
was riding upon the Avenue with Mrs.

" Gen. Burnside is in town, in consul.

How Gen. Grant Started on his
Present Campaign.
The Chicago Tribune learns from a
gentleman who participated in the recent
campaign of General Grant, up to the
time the enemy crossed the Big Black in
the retreat towards Vicksburg, that in
starting on the movement the General
disencumbered himself of everythinp, set
ting an example to his officers and men.—
Re took neither a horse nor a servant,
overcoat nor blanket, nor tent, nor camp
chest, not even a clean shirt. His only
baggage consisted of a toothbrush. He
shared all the hardships of the private
soldier, sleeping in the front and in the
open air, and eating hard tack and salt
pork. lie wore no sword, had on a low
crowned citizen's hat and the only thing
about him to mark him as a military man
was his two stars on his undress military
coat. On the battle field he wax omni
present, riding everywhere, generally
alone, into the very thickest of the fight,
inspiring the troops by his imperturbable ,
coolness and bravery.
Why are ladies the biggest thieves in
existence? Ans.— Because they steel
their petticoats, bone the stays, and
crib the babies. Yes, and hook the eyes,
too.

d:c.,
WASFIINUTON, May 1:),—It is rumored
that the case of Vallandigham is not yet
decided, that Mr. Seward favors his re
lease, and that the President is undecided.
The Union men in Ohio demand that if
this man is to be punished at all he should
be sent South to the rebels whose cause
he has so long defended.
General Hooker has gone back to l'el
mouth to prepare for another campaign.
The rebels are already upon their legs,
and if we do not cross over and give them
employment they will soon move up to•
wards Washington. This is the opinion
of some of our best military men.
Regiments of nine months' and two
years' men are constantly pouring through
Washington to the North, their time hav•
ing expired. There is a feeling of ner
vousness upon the subject in some quar
ters, but our military leaders aro satisfied
that if we are to lose twenty or thirty
thousand men from the army at all it is
bettn to lose them now.
The draft will take place about the first
of July. The soldiers-now returning
home will have had six weeks away from
the army, and they will begin to be rest
less. By the middle of July the War De
partment will offer a bounty of $3OO to
all who will re enlist, using the. fund
which has accumulated ftom those drafted
persons choosingto pay $3OO rather than
go into the field. It is expected that
nearly all these returning soldiers will ac•
cept the high bounty and return to the
service. Six weeks will undoubtedly be
consumed in the enrolling of all persons
subject to military duty.
isnismroN, May, Pl.—The truth that
both officers and men to a considerable
number daily arrive from the Rappahan•
nook and proceed to their homes, on leave
of absence, i., regarded es an additional
indication that the army will not immedi

Major General Hooker's purposes and
the designs of the government in con

Hence, there is no reliance to be placed

1./Alen:twee of opinion between high
officials as to the eondnet of Gen. Hooker
and the affair of the Peterhof are said to
prevail to each an extent as to interrupt
the previous entente er , nliale. It is be
lieved by many that some important civil
and military changes are about to take
place, which will be received with great
satisfaction by the friends of the govern-
esEnNul os, May IG.—The Richmond
oquirer of the 15th contains the following
editorial article:
There is evi len tly to Le an active sum
mer campaign. The plan of the enemy
seems to be to keep s our attention con
stantly excited at every point at once, so
that no part of our whole wide frontier may
be freed from the urgent immediate appre
hension of an attack. Then they can
strike where they think our line is weakest
or our defences least perfect, and if repuls
ed can retire and direct a blow at some
other quarter. In the meantime they can
bag much plunder and cause much sorrow
and heart-break to our people by expedi
tions through thinly peopled regions desti
titute of troops, and also can force more
and more of our people within their lines
to take their hated oath for a quiet life and
save their property from confiscation.—
Thus they can both demoralize and rob
us within our own border, preparing all
the while serious assaults and delivering
them fast when they are ready and when
they choose. It is hard to say at what
point they are most active just now. If
one looks South-westward it would seem
that the State of Mississippi is the region
of the most extensive operations. Im
mense armies are gathering around Vicks
burg, and while prerarations are in pro
gress for a new assault upon that place,
the back.country is devastated and the
people plundered by cavalry raids, but at
the very same moment Charleston is kept
on the qui vice by energetic preparations
for another attack by sea and land,or both
at once. The o:.ject may be only to pre
vent Gen. Beauregard from sending away
any of the trops which now defend Char
leston. At the same instant too, Burn
side threatens East Tennessee and Hooker
largely reinforced is expected to cross the
Rappahannock somewhere or other from
Culpepper to Port Royal. To keep some
of our forces employed in the defense of
Richmond, reinforcements are sent to
Fortress Monroe and lest any part of the
country should have to assist, the enemy's ,
gunboats are harrassing North Carolina.
In the Raleigh progress of the 13tL inst.
we read of the gunboats continuing to
prowl up and down the Chowan and Par
quimens rivers. They steal the negroes
silver ware, jewelry and everything they
can get their hands on, and have broken
np a number of fisheries. They stole
some four thousand dollars worth of jew
elry from a man named Cook, breaking
up his furniture, ac., and committed other
depredations.
n one instance they entered a soldier's
house and broke the crockery, furniture,
&c.
• Five or six thousand Yankees are re
ported to be in Plymouth, and reveal gun
boats in the Sound.
There is no enemy at Edenton or Eliza
beth city. They recently burnt a mill on
the Chowan. the property' of Mr. Hay,
situated a mile below Trenton.

Last year indeed there was urgent haste
to get the rebellion crushed in thirty days
or in ninety. Now we hear much less of
the vehement urgency, and the whole
Yankee nation seems to-have outaccounts
for war as the'. settled business of life,
rather than consent to peace and separa
tion. They are perfectly willing to fight
upon the present system for twenty years
or forty. They are willing daring all
that time to go on submitting to
such defeats - as- -they - have sus
tained at Fredericksburg and on the
Rappahannock, 'because 'by these defeats
they lose not a foot of ground. They leap
nothing but men, and men are of less valve
to them than to us. To kill one thousand
southern soldiers they would be willing
at any time, to sacrifice 5,000 Hessians
to entitaiti a repulse, which they would re
present, however, as a mere retreat for
strategic reasons, and, rather honorable
than otherwise, and they would regard the

they are stealing much and ruining more,
and their women and children are safe

ever before in the spoils of our homes,

WASHINGTON, May U3.—A royal decree
of the Kieg of Portugal has been officially
communicated to this government. Eve
ry individual, whether nittive or foreign,
may freelitravel or move about within
the kingdnra and adjacent islands without
a passport or any other simliar document.
The existing police regulations have been
modified, in order that all travelers from
foreign countries, on entering the king
dom, may not meet with unnecessary dffi
culties nor pay undue fees, and the fees
paid by vessels entering and quitting the
national ports are modified and equalized
in such a manner that national vessels
shall not pay more than foreign vessels,
and that in one port no heavier fees shall
be demanded than in another, except in
special cases. The fee of six hundred milts
hitherto paid by foreigners who enter the
bar of Lisbon is abolished,
ALBANY, May 16.—The meeting to pro
test against the arbitrary arrest and sen
tence of Hon. C. L. Vullandigham, held
at the Capital to-night, was largely at
tended. fhere were strong speeches
made by Hon. Amasa J. Parker, Hon.
Francis Eeman, John Murphy, Esq. of
Buf f alo, and others. Resolutions were
adopted denouncing the arrest of Vallan•
digham as unwarrantable assumption of
military power. A letter was then read
from Gov. Seymour, characterizing the
arrest of Valandigham as an act that has
brought dishonor upon our countiy, which
is full of danger to our persons and oar
homes, and which bears upon its front a
conscious violation of law and justice.
An attempt was made to disturb the meet
ing bat failed, and the police succeeded
in making several arrests of the guilty
parties.
There was some disturbance at the Val
landigham indignation meeting to-night.
During the day a feeling of opposition to
the meeting among some of the returned
soldiers was clearly manifest, and soon
after the organization of the meeting evi
dences of dissatisfaction were Shown
among the soldiers present. The Seraglios
were interrupted by their noisy demon
•tratione, and finally they made a rush
for the stage.
Great excitement prevailed for a short
time; the proceedings were brought to a
stand still. The chairs on the stage were
broken into pieces and thrown in the
crowd, and for a few minutes it seemed as
if the soldiers would gain possession of the
stagy and drive the civilians off. The
soldiers were in small force, however, and
finally retired, when order was once more
restored and the proceedings resumed, al
though, not without occasional interrup
tions. Eventually quiet was fully restored
and the meeting carried on peaceably.
FORTRESS MONROE, !flay 10.—The Rich•
mond Inquirer of yesterday contains the
following of the fighting in Mississippi:
The enemy yesterday advanced one
thousand strong upon Raymond, where
Gen. Gregg , bad 4,100 infantry and a few
cavalry. Skirmishing commenced at 9
o'clock in the forenoon. The enemy was
continually reinforced till 1 o'clock in the
afternoon, when we opened the battle
heavily with musketry. Learning that
the enemy was heavily reinforced and
ready to engage, we retired through Ray
mond, making a stand at the Mississippi
Springs, where we have reinforcements.
Col. McGaverik of the 10th Tennessee,
was killed.
The firing to -day is heavy and continuous
towards Jackson.
READINO, 16.—About four o'clock
this afternoo M n
a ay
fire broke out in the foun•
dry and scale works of Moore & Dehart,
situated on Cherry alley, below 4th street,
the flames extending to and consuming
four small dwellings and several frame
stables, The sparks from the latter tell
on the roofs of dwellings on Washington
street and set fire to and totally burnt out
five more dweliirgs with a great part of
their contents. It was feared at one time
that our city would suffer to a great extent
owing to the high wind which was prevail
ing at the time. The loss amounted to 1
about $50,000.
