MlTcHELL ON THE UNIoN-Mr. Mitchell, in his
remarks at the Richmond dinner, among other
noble sentiments uttered the following:
But sir, if there be indeed, which can hardly
believe, any American insane enough, traitorous
enough, to really desire or design to destroy that
united nationhood oh! let them be warned in the
name of God not to dare lay hands upon the
sacred Constitution of America. Sir, | maintain
that have right to say so:-ior remember that
you Americans hold this great Republic not for
yourselves only, but in trust for all mankind and
generations yet unborn. One of the greatest Of
your revolutionary penmen said wel-"The very
Hessians, though hired to fight against us. will
live to bless their defeat" Shall that prophecy
be nulliiied? No, never coniure you, in the
name and in the interest of all Europe. Asia, the
utmost ends of the earth, that you suffer trail
tor, no maniac, to tear the stripes and GuencL the
stars the folds of that glorious banner 10 whose
radiance as to some auroral morning dawnng in
the west, the eyes of that darkened Europe are
now looking. as TO the sole hope of oppressed
liberty now-the sole guaranty for its triumph in
the future.

THE FIRST FRUIT OF WAR-A letter from
Rev. Wm c. Shaufer, OF Constantinople, draws
melancholy picture of the distress which the
Eastern war has already occasoned among the
poorer classes of Constantinople. He says that
there is no commerce. no business going on. but
little money to be seen. and thousands of human
beings are dying of hunger, thirst, nakedneSs. and
disease. Rats and mice are eaten by many to
allay the cravings of hunger, and people who but
few months since comparatively rich in
worldly goods now beg for bread. Mr.. Shaufiler
states that. although he has resided for twenty
years i'll Constantinope, through all the horrors
of war, plague, femine, and fire, he never saw
such distress as now exists
