DANIEL 8. DICKINSON.

This gentleman, in recent speech,
said:
"Those men meant disunion. They have
meant it for number Of yeara. They
care no more about the question of thar
slavery than care for nudity in The Feiee
Islands They have been determined
that they had rather reign in hail than
serae in heaven.'s
Upon which the Rochester Uaiog ad-
Hsirably comments. 1t says:
THAT il true o, Daniel and you kssetc
IT was true when you wrote to your friends
in the Democratic National Convention
to seeede when those mem sacsded-
those men who have meat disunion for
number of years. You knew fthey ment
disunion,' and that they were PREPARING
for disuniou when you said in the letter
above referred to:
~ seiA 90 Scith tksEa If Tg@aIons."
That is what you said, D, Daniel. as a
time wheu they had aernrauE tiisuufou for
q number of years." foa went in for
helping them in their reasonable plans;
and had they succeeded, ypu would have
demanded place in the Cabinet to finish
up the work of your old and intimate
friends Floyd and Cobb. ..

battle stretched dessolate, but not blank
before the eye.
The sky above seemed dead, as it but
imPcrfectly lighted up in the drizzling
rain the horrors Of the scene of death
Most Of the Yankee dead had been merely
covered up in the shallow trenches, and
from those broken mounds black and pu-

surgeon who accompanied Us in our visit
TO the held, says that on visiting it bat
dag after the battle, be found the corpses
With which it was strewn black as negroes,
his first exclamation being -ssThF, how
many negro regiments we have killed .,
The field itself shows signs of the hor-
rors of war. The grass has grown again
buS the torn and mangied timber in every
direction shows the terrible effects Of the |
hrc. Even ia little trees, scarcely the |
thickness Of the arm, FIVE or six shots can
be pointed cut. In one part Of the field !
the eye of the visitor is attracted by q lit |
lie pine corpse all crushed and mangled |
by the fire Of artillery. Just on its skirt |
is a collection of small stones, With a shaft |
of smoothed oak timber, standing upright /
among them, and bearing the name 'sBar-

M0RAb & RELIGIOUS,
Hen Of principle,

The man of principle needs not the re-
strlctlon Of seal or signature, or any legal
instrument. He deals in solitude as in
public, is as good as a bond, and his prom
lse as sterling as gold. The complicated
interests of men, which so often jar and
conflict, are reconciled in him with beau
tItul harmony. He is himself the embod-
lment OF justice, the symbol of perfect So
clety. His charities are not the droppings
OF a formal pity, but the ointment of
yearnlng love. In his soul there is foun-
tain OF humor, and close by, fountain of
tears. His spirit is an instrument strung
to every proper mood, touched by the light
graces of the passing hour, or swept by
solemn thoughts that wander through
eternity

How to Break Bad Habits.

EVIL habits though they sometimes be-
come apparently irresistible and incurable,
and lead many clever men into speedy de-
structlon, yet none ever become so power
tui that they may not be corrected. The
nrm ana resolute determination is more
than half of the battle gained. Here is
the way to break off from pernicious prac-
tees: Understand clearly the reasons, and
all the reasons why the habit is injurious
Study the subject till there is no lingering
doubt IN your mind. Avoid the places, the
persons, the Thoughts, that lead to tempta-
ton Frequent the places, associated with
the persons, indulge the thoughts, that lead
away from the temptation. Keep busy
