e, of the condition of the Africans themselves, as well as the calamities which overhang the country, how idly do they talk who would expel the Africans from these States! How madly do they reason who, by a cordon of free-soil States, on the West and South, would shut up the Southern States--as if, with bolts and bars, they would cage a savage beast! False philosophers! Enemies alike to justice and humanity! Worse than Nadab and Abihu, in the republic of Moses! Kindred to Ahithophel and Judas, and, in later days, to Benedict Arnold! The day will come — passing events cast their long shadows before --when history will record the civilization of all Africa, and the final solution of the problem, and the permanent establishment of American liberty. A sound philosophy will be at no loss to trace both one and the other to the agency, and that in no small degree, of that wonderful scheme of Divine Providence, by which so large a number of Africans were introduced into so many of the

ed for his principal a note, secured by mortgage, in anticipation of its being due, in order to purchase twenty-five thousand dollars of this loan. Without, however, descending into particulars, is the profitableness of the investment to be permitted to be alleged as a sufficient apology for aiding the rebellion by money and arms? If so, all their army contractors, principally Jews, should be held blameless, for they have made immense fortunes by the war. Indeed, I suppose another Jew--one Judas — thought his investment in the thirty pieces of silver was a profitable one, until the penalty of treachery reached him. When I took possession of New Orleans, I found the city nearly on the verge of starvation, but thirty days provision in it, and the poor utterly without the means of procuring what food there was to be had. I endeavored to aid the city government in the work of feeding the poor; but I soon found that the very distribution of food was a means faithlessly used to enco

gnty a blasphemy against the Constitution. The natural congratulations of the conquerors in the fight are drowned in the shouts of triumph raised by the vanquished; and the world has lived to see that Lost Principle,--to the victors belong the spoils,--displaced by this other, that from the victors shall the spoils be taken! Long was belief, and deep was once the conviction, that the shriek of Union was the winning cry; and just so long as that belief endured, it was written in the Book of Judas that Davis was a Traitor, Disunion was Treason, and the Southern Confederacy a conglomeration of every thing that was weak, wicked, and absurd. But no rapping spirits ever turned the tables like those that Lincoln's Proclamation evoked from the vasty deep of revolution. The cannon of Fort Sumter announced to all the world that the Baboon of Illinois had no more nuts for Virginia monkeys; and when once fully up to the idea that henceforth the star of empire had taken a Southern track; that

eaming forehead in the dust, Where treason's reptiles writhe and hiss Like fiends shut out from Eden's bliss? Better the freeman's lowliest grave Than golden fetters of a slave; Then with or on thy shining shield Return, Kentucky, from the field. If bribed by lust of power or gold, Thy country's welfare thou hast sold, Iscariot-like thy name shall be In Freedom's dark Gethsemane; Disgrace and fell remorse shall plough Eternal furrows o'er thy brow; By angels, men, and fiends abhorred-- Like Judas who betrayed his Lord. Outcast at home — across the sea, Shunned like a leper thou shalt be-- No spring shall slake thy burning thirst, The fire shall shun thee as accursed-- Day shall be cheerless — no repose At night thy swollen eye shall close-- Lift to indignant Heaven thine eye, Curse God in black despair and die! Kentucky, hast thou son so base Thy fame unsullied would disgrace? Attaint his blood, disown his race, His line, his very name efface. Then charge! thy grand battalions free

gh observed, There is a regiment going up, meaning toward Jackson, where there had been some skirmishing for a few days past. Directly I heard shooting — pop, pop, pop, in quick succession, and horsemen galloping up the road toward town. I jumped up and run to the window, and saw the street was full of Texas cavalry — real, wild, butternut-colored fellows, yelling like Indians. Said I to Lough: Get up, the town is full of secesh! Lough jumped up, took one glance. Wing, we're gobbled, by Judas!! [I never heard him swear before or since.] We commenced washing and dressing. I concluded to try the virtue of a clean shirt with the rascals, and put on a fresh shirt, drawers, and socks. I thought of several things in a very few moments. The financial question was the most troublesome. [Mr. Wing was buying cotton, and had a very large amount of money with him.] What to do with it, that was the question. I took my money and made two piles of it, one I divided into two parcels and put

ou may deem proper. The other reflections which the author of the article alluded to [made] against you I of course am not called upon to say anything in regard to. The fact is, your subsequent promotions are proof positive that I entertained none of the views set forth to your disadvantage in this article. Very truly yours, U. S. Grant. The article above referred to asserted that General Thomas knew three days before the battle of Nashville that Schofield was playing the part of Judas by telegraphing to General Grant, at Washington, disparaging suggestions about the action of Thomas, and pretended to quote the language of one of those despatches, as follows: It is the opinion of all of our officers with whom I have conversed that General Thomas is too tardy in moving against the enemy . . . It also stated that it was known to a number of our officers that . . . Schofield was intriguing with Grant to get Thomas relieved, in order that he might succeed to the command of ou

that could belong to no chivalry but that of slaveholding, and would be practised by no knights save those of the golden circle, they have to the last moment drawn their official salaries from the nation they were betraying; they have perfected their schemes of plunder in the very capital which they were seeking to cripple, and beneath the folds of the flag that they were swearing, to support and plotting to humble. They are men, in brief — for the subject is a revolting one--who, imitating Judas and.rivalling Arnold, have made their daily life simply and purely a daily lie. Did time permit: me I would like briefly to refer to the national events that, following in quick succession, have interrupted, what Mr. Seward happily :calls the majestic march of our national progress: the successive seizure of Southern forts in obedience to telegrams from the Senate chamber, the spread of Southern treason like the wild fire of the prairies; the consternation of the people, the apathy of the

the pot, but they had no table-forks. The carver, carptor, had a knife for carving, and the guests furnished their own. The meat was grasped by the finger and thumb of the left hand, and a piece excised. The New Testament, Homer, and Ovid mention the putting of the hands in the dish. Corkscrew hay-fork. The dipping in the dish refers to making a scoop of a piece of bread and dipping out the soup or gravy. To give a sop thus prepared to a friend at table was a delicate attention. Judas received his and went out. The mark of kindness was too much even for his selfish heart. The Chinese use chop-sticks instead of forks. Bronze forks were used by the Egyptian priests in presenting offerings to the gods. Two of them exhumed at Sakkarah are in the Abbott collection. A fork is mentioned in the accounts of Edward I., and is supposed to have been brought from the East by a returning crusader. Voltaire says that they were used by the Lombards in the fourteenth century;
