D Here is what Vanity Fair" thinks of the Suppression of treason in the North, and the "cleaning out of such shetes as the Bridgeport FWmsr:
 TIT For TAr.-We confess that to great ex. tent we believe in the doctrine of Tit for Tat If man give us a wipe on one cheek we do not think we should be disposed to turn to him the other in order to receive Wipe No. 2. We are aware that VIC differ in this respect from all the rest of the world.
 lis in consequence of this wicked spirit of ours that we are made glad by the accounts, which began to come in pretty briskly now. of the dsmolishment of secession newsI a.)tr ices in the loyal States, and of the tarring and feath ering ofsecession editors. For years past North srn men in the South who have dared to express obnoxious opinions. or who have been suspected of entertaining them even. have been hunted down like wild beasts, scOurged, cut, shot and hanged. And now when sympathizers wi tn the South among us, not only express obnoxious opinions through the public medium of the press but go to the length of openly advocating Trea- son against the Government, we think that "Turn About is Fair Play.'
 Not that we would counsel the numbering or the maiming of the obnoxious persons. We will let the South maintain her advantage over us m that particular. But the clinging tar, few wholesome feathers and the refreshing rail may we think, be used with advantage. They will at all events conivnce traitors of the neces- sity of keeping their mouths shut, and will de- inonstrate to'them th::admirable cleanness that they are no longer to be permitted to insult loyal community with their gibes aud sneers at the Republic, their mealy meuthed praises of JeH. Davis and his rebel crew.
 It is all very we'll to call this sort of thing "Nob Violence" and say that "the adjustment of such matters should be left to the properly constituted authorities" hut the trouble is that when the matters are so left the properly con- stituted authorities" don't adjust" them.
 And this is the reason why we believe in the doctrine of Tit for Tat. We know it is very wicked for us to do so, but then Us we stated in the beginning, we are different from all the rest of the world in this respect

 The marriage of the Rev. Dr. Spring came osr tn tho chapel of the Brick Church. on Thurs day last tn the presence of small company of visitoss. The affair has created much talk The Doctor Is well on to eighty. Heis quite iniirm and his sight is quite poor. The lady bride is ssxty-fvc and is a maiden. Mrs. S. had no, hcen dead a year. and in New York it is regard cd as quite an impropriciy for widower not to wait at least one year. In this marriage. quitc little romance is blended.
