Mre patera apd fanatics.
Tbesetwo classes of blatant agitators,
•whosejoihteffortapluoged the country
in destructive civil -War, hare taken re
markable .care not to expose themselves
\o the dangers of the field. This i
i characteristic of load-mouthed declaim
era; whosf pluck consists in big words
' befpre Ihe'cohfllct begins; but who, when
''themomeptfijraction arrives, presort
denlypossesSed ofadiscretion, which
-isßaid-to te“the belter part of vaWr.”
}" ’ ThbSb tirb-eaters of the. South, prior
r , to the rebellipn were constantly' talking
vr about “firing theßouthernoheart,” and
;•: they afterwards air heavy -with
their 1 hoVlings' for ‘ ‘unconditional in
' “dependenceJli or. th? black flag, the las'
t: ditph and.-aaoldier’e grave;they are now
;no where to be found, where danger is
1 t.o’bej encountered. ' Taney, the fiery
" n ;6ratbr, spent the best years ot his
. -lift) to stir .op rebellion, took no part in
..it after-hostilities commenced. Bam
• well Rhett of South Carolina, for thirty
vcais' and 'more the open foe of the
Union,,instead of entering the service
ia.iiow agrowling memberofthe Legis
lature of h\s’State. These were among
. Ihe invoked their section
to^ivy r yar,; but who have not .the cour
age to-, take their places in the field.
General Howell ’ Cobb, a constant
Union’man, Until forced into rebellion
, by. the same pressure which pulled
.Alex.- Stephens and Hershel V. Johns
ton along with him, doesn't seem
to relish the proceedings of the
original fire-eaters. In a speech lately
made by him in Mobile, he is reported
to have said that “the TaDkee was a sor
ry creature, but be kaew a meaner—that
was .the man who was willing to go bach
to. live with him after this war.
“I kndw it 'meaner one than either; it is
tlite furious advocate of Recession, the min
ute mail who wore a cockade, who in
sulted others because they were not as
ready to plange the country into war as
he was, who promised that he and those
who thought with him would do ail the
fighting, and who yet keeps oat of the
way; or hides away in safe places, and
leaves other and better men to bear the 1
brunt of the conflict. The meanest Yan
kee on-Gape Cod is a perfect hero com- ,
pared with Such a wretch.”
It Is easily seen from this that Cobb
doesn't relish the idea of the original
Baceasionista—the men who insisted upon
Southern independence— dodging the
sabijfipes. which theif teachings helped
to.bring upon their country. Gen. Cobb
is like hdndreds of thousands of others
in the South, who are heartily sick of a
wasting conflict which they had no hand
in producing.
The flre-eaters of the South hare been
to that Becfion, what the leading Aboli
tlrth' fd&at(cs have beepjto the forth; by
their joipt efforts they, plunged the coun
try in war, but neither of them have
stomach for the fight. We do not re
member a single leading original Aboli
tioyistwho entered: the service at the
commencement-of the war, except Sena
tor Wilton of'Masaachusette. He raised
a lyfcu^dht, 1 but tf was more for display
SB !f .fttniuneut thananythiqgelae. Like
many of his class,he was thoroughly con-
vm ted that “the South wouldn't fight,”
b tit'by yhMinie tie got to Baltimore he
changed ms mind, and so resigned his
commission. Prior to this, however,
rejoicing in " the - conviction that the
Southern ragamuffins were not game,
Wilson was seemingly the very imper
so nation of that lofty gallantry, which
braves all danger, and seeksthe "bubble,
reputation even at the c&Qoon's mouth.”
He strutted in more gojd lace and buttons,
and luxuriated in' longer feathers and’
top hoots, than a vain Fourth of July
militia-- tsver ; spotted; and he
talked too most valorous,y of striking
until the last armed rebel expired. Bui
as iv ■ -have said, he, like his class 01
Northern agitators, and their hutipodes
in e/.rythiug else save cowardice, the
Bofirftl!rhTft , e-dateis‘ 1 find it'congenial to
stay at,home, drotn danger, i and let in
noecnt and good men be sacrificed in a
coullict which' their twenty five years of
agitation have brought upon the coun
try. •- ■ '.

A Coachman Charged with Bigamy
and Grand Larceny.
Robert Thompson, a coachman, was
anestedsome days ago by Detective
13 nnett on a charge of grand larceny,
in st aling a trunk containing a quantity
( f clothing, etc., valued at $l5O, from
hrs employer, Mr. Philip Van Valken
burgh of Tubby Hook. To this charge
the accused pleaded guilty, and he was
committed to the Tombs for trial, refus
ing bail. Yesterday afternoon two verv
respectable appearing women appeared
before Justice Hogan at the Tombs, and
preferred a charge of bigamy against
fcan. The affidavits sworn to by the
complainants show that on the 28th of
I December, 1857, the accused was inar
ri.d to Misß Margaret Desmond, at
present residing at Madison, N. J., by
Rev. Sylvester Malone of St. Peter and
St. Paul’s Roman Catholic Church, at
Williamsburgh. The clergyman and
several other witnesses who were pres
ent when the ceremony was performed
were in Court, and prepared to give evi
dence againgt him- On the 28th of
August last, while his first wife was still
living, Thompson was united in the
bonds of wedlock to Margaret Weir, by
t(ic .Rev. L. R. Dickinson of the Church
<>l the Mediator, Kingabridge, Wesches
ter Co. Both the complainants were
domestics in the families where he was
••in ployed as coachman. Thompson
l-K aded guilty of the bigamy,. and Jus
ti o Hogan committed him fortrial, bail
being refused. It is said that there are
several other women whom Thompson
has married illegally. —New York News
From the New York Herald,
The Triumph of the Eepubliban
Party and ita Defeat.
His in accordance with the philoso
phy of things that when a party is ele
vated to power for the accomplishment
,ol great ends and fails, it will be swept
out of existence. The Republican party
wus successful at the last two elections
because the people believed that it
would pnt down the rebellion and bring
back peace to the country; bnt its vic
torious triumph will assuredly prove its
defeat. The first four years of rule left
the rebellion unsuppressed, and the peo
ple expect that the war will be closed
within the. first twelve months of its
second term. If it is not—but if on the
other hand, a weak and hesitating pol
icy should: insure four years more of
'internecine warfare —the party will be
s wept off the earth with a howl of gen
e-al execration. Even if it should suc
ceed in pitting .the rebellion under
nithjn the coming year there will be a
reaction, financial and political, that
will cut its life short—its utmost limit
being the expiration of its supremacy in
°® ee - There Is a settled opinion that
jthc radical portion of the Republican
iparty is one of the principal authors of
the war, and when the excitement con
sequent npon its progress is over, and
the account of public debt comes to be
settled, the day ol reckoning will have
arrived. In any event, then, it will be
fdund that the triumph of the Bepubli
can party isvirtually its defeat.

jLovejoyVj'fcencb’s and other noted re
ports of California travelers going and
looming theante roouis were crowded on
: jWednesdaywith men, women and chil
dren, just arrived from the Pacific
coast, via Panama and Aspinwall, on
board of the steamer, Costa Rica. In
many cases whole families were seen
together, from aged grandparents down
to children, of both sexes, only three
and four years of age, and infants at the
breast.
They were a sturdy looking race, but
poorly attired, and bearing too evident
marks of hardship encountered on the
way. The Costa Rica came into port
crowded from the first cabin to the
steerage with these wanderers, whn
numbered no less than 800 souls on that
one vessel. So heavy an arrival, and
the fact that all the passengers had ap
parentty brought everything with them
that they conld carry, including house
hold articles, arras, clothing and bag
gage of all descriptions, naturally led to
inquiry and comment. The public at
large on our Atlantic Btope are resting
under the impression that in California
tliere exists a condition of.prosperity to
which the middle classes here have, for
two years at least, been comparatively
strangers. Conversation with the re
turning emigrants very speedily dispels
these dreams, and sadly convinces us
that no pm of our country has been ex
empted from the miserable effects of in I
ternecinc strife and the oppressive fatal
ities that seem, like visitations of' the
Most High, to have accumulated upon
us since it began. The statements
brought by these poor people from the
land of gold are very opposite to the
ideas so widely entertained. A very
large proportion of those who came in
hy the Costa Rica crossed* the plains
from the Western States to California
in 1862 and 1818, and have been so ter
ribly disappointed in their expectations,
that they have come back at the earliest
practicable moment.

We learn from tbe following which
we tak'* from the Journal of
that a movement is on foot for the es
tablishment of a Bullion Bank in New
York :
Our readers will remember that when
we suggested several years ago a bullion
hank, in which deposit should be made
in coin that should be held inviolate to
be withdrawn by checks or represented
by c-rtihcates of deposits, some of our
i omteinporaries sneered at the project,
and have on various occasions since
made themselves quite merry over it.
These writers will doubtless be aston
ished to learn|lhat our suggestion is like
ly to be adopted, and this too within
Very few days. -
Ihe dealers in foreign exchange have
been compelled lor some weeks past to
make their transactions in gold, owing
to the fluctuation in the currency, and
has obliged them to make and receive
payments by an actual delivery of the
coin. Of course . such movements of
gold involve great risk and trouble, as
much as as it the business in currency
was carried on by an actual counting
out of the money instead of the use of
checks. To obviate tbese difficulties a
plan has been hit upon to establish a
bullion department in one of our oldest
banks, where gold may be deposited
and drawn upon aa needed. It is easy
to see that but little gold will be actual
ly moved as the settlements will be
made without it. Already thirty-eight
of the largest firms have subscribed to
the project, and others have it under fa
vorable consideration.
The great objection made to tbe plan
suggested years ago for such a place of
deposit was that the keeping of a fond
of gold intact to await tbe requisition of
the depositor would be expensive, and
that the customers would not pay for it.
But these subscribers cheerfully promis
ed to pay one thousand dollars each
per annum for the privilege we have
noticed. The B»nk of New Yfrk has
been selected as the place of deposit; and
we will give further details as soon as
the plan is matured.
The Cincinnati Commercial Republican
speaking of the removal of Gen. Rose
crans, pay the following compliment to
the Radicals of Missouri:
It is not discreditable to the General
that he has failed to please the Radicals
of Missouri. —The man who can please
has not been found, and, if he were pro
cured, the characteristics that would
make him agreeable to them would
hardly commend him to the considera
tions o£ the rest of mankind. The fac
tion that hunted Schofield out of their
States with such prolonged bowlings,
and has likewise pursued Hosecrans,will
probably be in fall cry after General
Dodge in a little while. Gen. Schofield
has reason to be thankful for his removal
from Missouri, as he has been given an
opportunity to distinguish himself in the
field by highly meritous service, and to
Berye his country in the: brilliant battle
and victory of franklin. And if General
Rosecrans has a chance, 1 there - is ng
doqbt that the soldiery qualities that ap
peared at pich MQUutajh, C<)riuth,' Bnd
atone Fiver, wiljseem to have lost none
of their practical excellence.

Huge Jokes on Ben Botx.ee.—A
rich joke on General Butler is current
in army circles. It seems that the reg

Dutch Gap Canal, and at a recent court
martial in the Army of the James a sol

labor on the said canal. The report
adds that Butler was disgusted, and dis

On Thursday last an interesting de
bate took place in the House of Repre
sentatives, on our foreign relation, du
ring which the Hon. Henry Winter
Davis said: Tne Secretary of States
had in the face of ail Europe, slapped
the House of Representatives in the face,
in his correspondence with the French
government, and he asked the House
whether it would not to-day assert its
own display? Whereupon, “the House”
—didn’t.
The Hon. Stevens, during the debate
in the House of Representatives on
Thursday last, thus spoke of “the duly
of the House:’’ It was the duty of the
House to vindicate the dignity of the
country, and to elevate it from the low
depth to which it was sunk. But “the
House did not see the matter in the same
light, and, as yet, “the dignity of the
iountry’’is in the same “low depth,’’
referred to by the honorable gentleman
lioin Pennsylvania.

This fact has created great alarm in

the people of that continent.

port which had gained credit thcTe. that
the Mexican President Juarez was about
to issue letters of marque and reprisal
against France, and that vessels with
that end in view, were fitting ont in
United S ales ports. There is likewise
reason to believe that an official commu
nication on the snbject has been ad
dressed to the State Department at
Washington
Colonel Hoback Blnney Sarqent
ol the First Massachusetts cavalry,
ported killed on Warren's late raid,’ was
a son of Lucius Manlius Sargent, of
\Y est Roxbury, distinguished in litera
ture, and moßt popularly known as the
author of the “Temperance Tales."
Colonel Sargent has been in the service
since the war broke out, at first as Lieu
tenant-Colonel of his regiment, and was
made Colonel in October, 1862, on the
resignation of Colonel Williams. Col
Sargent distinguished himself in many
battles, and deserves a high position
upon the honorable list of brave men
who have given themselves to their
country in this war.
South Cabolina Exhausted. The
Governor of South Carolina in his late
message says that any further claim
made by the Richmond Government
upon that State, at least, will abstract
so much from the little bone and sinew
that is left in the land as to leave them
enervated, paralized, and comparatively
helpless in their own defense. He says
that the sacrifice of Sonth Carolina for
the “cause" is shown by the fact, that
“with a voting population of about
iorty seven thousand, she has.furnished
at least sixty five thousand troops to
the Confederate army, and that of the
thousands of State officers whom she
might have claimed as exempts from the
service, there are now less than one
hundred within the borders of the
State."
The President in his message seems
to be possessed with the notion that the
war has added to the population and
wealth of the nation. He says we are
"not in process of exhaustion," but
“aregaiuing in strength, “and may, if
need be,maintain the contest“indefinitc
lv ” The Comptroller of the Treasury,
Mr. McCulloch, seems to think differ
ently, and we believe he is right. He
says: When money is plenty, and for
tunes are being rapidly acquired, the
country is always in a feverish and
unhealthy state. This is especially true
at the present time. The enormous ex
penditures of the Government, and the
great advance in prices since the com
mencement of the war, have made
many persona snddenly rich, upon,
fortunes snddenly acquired, have fol
lowed reckless expenditures, extrava
gance, tyaste. Speculation has -.
the place of sober and persevering in ;

The officer in command of our caval
ry fored in Kentucky opposed to the
Rebel General Lyon is not Major Gen
eral Aleck McCook, but Brigadier Gen
eral Edward M. McCook Ho is not
yet thirty years old, < He is.a native of
Ohio, but resided for some time in Col
orado, and was a member of the legis
lature there. At the outbreak ot the
war he was commissioned as Lieutenant
in the Sixth regular cavalry. He was
shortly afterwards called to the com
mand of the Second Indiana Cavalry,
and distinguished,, himself iff several
brilliant actions, winning special men
tion for personal bravery. He was pro
moted to a Brigadier Generalship, and
commanded the famous expedition into
Georgia in July last, which has been as
sociatcd with his name. He is a man of
very fine personal appearance and a
thorough soldier. Lyon? will have to'look
to his laurels.
