A Homeless Case.

A Hopeless Case. Jazz
Mr.. John Mitchell, ez-patriot and
present secessionist and traitor, who in
forms the Charleston Mercury of the
movements in European affairs, writes
from Paris, under date of last month,
in the most respondent and lugubrious
character. Influences are at work In
Europe moulding opinions in antagon-
ism to the South. There are several
classes of men whose antipathies against
what Mr.. Spratt pleasantly calls a ''slave
republic" are ineradlcable. The ultra
liberals dislike the idea of fellowship
with Slave Confederacy. The simple
Republicans see no good in rebellion
The monarchical and retrogressive party
of course oppose the Southern "recon-
struction" from principle. The latter
':hate the words liberty, equality, fra
ternity, says Mr. Mitchell, while the
liberals 'tolerate" the new order of
things till some other provisions can be
made, "and so dismiss the whole affair
1ciHt maLediction. --..s.-g..
This is testimony wrung from an un-
willing witness. Mr. Alitchel's sym
pathies are so heartily Southern, he has
shown himself so skillful panderer to
the prejudices of the slave drivers, he is
so we'll adapted by the nature Of his con-
stitution to become the advocate of
tyranny and oppression, that these can
did confessions are doubly valuable, be-
cause the truth comes home to heart
which hates to receive 1t. Yet Mr..
Mitchell simply confirms the reports that
have reached us On authority quite as
good as his.

An Example and Warning.

The Philadelphia Journal, recently a
Bell and Everett organ, has the follow
ing:
If the necessity arises for carrying
the Presidents proclamation into effect,
there will be but ONE PARTY in the
North, for this may be depended on,
that in time of peril which may now
come, obnoxious persons would not be
permitted to domiciliate in any of the
loyal States. .a.-
We think that we are but doing cur
duty as journalists, when we suggest,
that it would be, prudent for all those
who feel like taking sides with the Sc
cessionists, to emigrate from the States
which will maintain the Union and have
an inevitable and glorious triumph, and
take up quarters with those with whom
they sympathize, and to whom they
may be Of service by juxtaposition.

No Politics!
An incident happened at the recent
immense mass meeting in New York
thatis worth referring to as characteristic
of the present feeling. A speaker
happening to say something which had
a political bearing, he was at once in
terrupted with the cry Of mo politics!'
And such is now the feeling everywhere
at the North. No politics! no politi-
clans! We are all Wings,
Democrats, Republicans, Natives, the
words no longer have other than an his
torical meaning. When peace comes, it
will bring new parties and new issues.
But now, No POLITICS We are

of our system and our country-we rec
ognize no other aim and objects. Down

The Newspaper.

The Newspaper. - #H- p. s...
A man eats a. pound of sugar, but
the pleasure he enjoyed is ended, but
the information he gets from newspapers
is treasured up in the mind, to be used
whenever occasion or indication call for
it; for newspaper is not the wisdom of
one man, or two men-lt is the wisdom
of the age-of past ages too. .
A family without newspaper is al
ways an age behind the time in gene
raj il nformation-besides, they never
think much or find anything to think
about. And there are the little ones
growing up in ignorance without a
taste for reading. Besides all these
evils, there is the wife, who, when her
work is done, has to sit with her hands
in her lap, and has nothing to amuse
her mind from the tolls and cares Of the
domestic circle.
