ly man who could be capable of such a delusion, but he takes pleasure in it. His letter is the very refinement of cruelty. In the politest and most complimentary manner he removes from the doctor's mind every tittle of his delusion, even with reference to the cherished three thousand dollars in gold! There is no mercy, he tells the venerable disciple of Esculapius, for him; his virtues and his social graces are admirable to the courtly Butler, but even they cannot save him. He must be for Lincoln or he is against him, and not even a doctor can exalt himself so much as to be exonerated from the obligation to sustain or oppose the Old Ape. There will be no sympathy for the doctor on either side; and exhibiting so much verdancy as to hope for mercy from Butler, he makes himself one of the most pitiable of men. To tell Butler he had three thousand dollars he desired to retain for an emergency! Why, he had as well show that amount to the brigand in whose power he was, and beg him to spa

The Emancipation proclamation. --Lincoln's infamous proclamation is creating as much consternation in the North as it was expected to do in the South. The Chicago Times says: Two days ago the President was wonderfully strong in the confidence of the country, not because of his military conduct of the war, for, in the opinion of all men, that had been disastrous, but because he had steadily manifested an apparently inflexible determination to adhere faithfully to the Constitution in the political management of the war and in the administration of the government. It was the merit of this adherence that, in the minds of all good and right thinking men, covered his multitude of sins in the military conduct of the war. So long as he seemed to be fast anchored to the Constitution, good and right-thinking men never ceased to hope and believe that experience would teach him to correct and overcome his military mistakes, and that finally the government of the Constitution would p
