It was in this vicinity that an illustrious ex-
lie from Europe fixed his abode to mark the
vieissitu les Of monaTchies and from the same
standpoint, almost equi-distant from the two
great cities, one may now gaze upon the disin-
tegration, the crumbling, and the inevitable
and speedy fan Of the Republic of Washing

1t Is the result OF the Hirrepressible con-
fict." The first battle is over. The hyeBas
Of the North are now pTeying upon the dead.
There Is no Government. The North is ruined
forever. Her fields henceforth will be desoIate,
and noxious weeds will spring up in Der cities.
Her palaces must lie in mournful ruins, like
those Of Palmyra and Babylon, and the bittem
aud owl inhabit her pleasant places. Like
Persia to the great cities Of The East, so has
the South been to New York, Boston and Phil
adelphia. As it was once, so it must be again.
The wind will howl and the sand OF the desert
be driven over the shattered columns Of the
once proud temples Of a wicked and blind gen

The people here weuld not see, they could
not be made to comprehend, that the wealth
that they were rioting in was not their own.
They believed that the hay fed to their asses
was equal IN value to the contributions Of the

morsel they shall gorge; and, before many
months have fed, they will find the anticipated
emoluments turned to dust and ashes on their
lips. The B~urlingames, and the hdams, and

Europe, like the lazzzroni Of once imperial
Rome.

see the Chicago outlaws dispensing $i00, 0O0,-

As government vitality and national pros

years-so, in future, if there be any semblanee
Of regeneration, it must be derived from the
same ssurce. And If self-governnent be a
dream Of the pist, and a pure republic a
pure fiction, it would be a boon indeed
worthy Of the gods, if some great ruler Of
eagle eye and lion heart would rescue usfrom
self-desfruetion BY the establishment Of a gov
