A Present from Cincinnariuu to Illinois

A Present from n Cincinnatian to Illinois.
Mr.. l. G. Hopkins, Of the firm of Cole l.
Hopkins of this city, has made the State of
Illinois a present of magnificent national
flag, OF full regulation size, twenty by thirty
feet. 1t is made OF the very best bunting,
and will float proudly over the capital upon
the next U nion victory. In making mention
of this present the Illinois State Journal says
that the above firm have filed large con-
tracts with that State for clothing, &c, for
the troops, and that "honesty and fidelity
has invariably characterized their dealings.
Every thing they have furnished has been
manufactured in the best manner, and of the
best material, and has been fully up to the
standard they agreed to observe. They have
given the Quartermaster no cause of COM
plant in any respect, and their articles have
been furnished at much lower prices than
have been paid in some other States. 1t is a
fortunate circumstance, both for the treasury
and for the troops that the contracts for sup
plies were awarded to this firm"

TEE MONROE DOCTRINE. - As people at
homo and abroad are continually mistaking
the purport of this famous doctrine, we copy
an accurate statement of it from the National
IntslhgenceT, as follows:
President Monroe never arrogated to the
United States a monopoly of political con
troll in the affairs of the American CONT
nents. What he said was, that no part of
their surface OF that date lin the year 1929,
was open to the colonization of European
powers by the right of discovery and settle
ment, as formerly applied to waste and un
occupied territory. To which doctrine" of
public law, as being due to the existing con-
dition of the New World, he added caVeat
against the alleged designs Of the Holy ALI
ance, which, it was represented, after putting
down rebellion at home proposed to extend
its political system TO the American Cont
nents, for the purpose of suppressing all
free Institutions here as well as in Europe.
The right of European powers to wage war
with American States, or TO acquire their
territory by purchase or conquest, was never
questioned by Mr.. Monroe.

strange some one does not suggest how easy
it is and how much better it is for those who
understand it, to crochet the mittens. Many
young ladies can crochet rapidly, who knit
with painful slowness and slow painfulness,
and then it is so much more quick and easy.
No taking off of stitches, no changing Of

forward work. 1t is easy to crochet pair

Secretary CumerOn's H eport.

The Washington correspondent of the Bos-
ton journal gives the following as the way
in which Secretary Cameron's report was
changed. 1t may be gossip or fact, we know
not which, but it is generally conceded that
the report was changed;
It is now known that when Secretary
Seward read the wer report he objected to
its treatment of the contraband question,
and insisted on having the paragraphs ex.
plunged. This Secretary Cameron at first
refused to do, and it was not until eleven
o'clock on Tuesday night that he consented,
after having been told distinctly by the
President that he must make the chan ges or
resign. He then submitted to the emascula-
tion ofhis report, but with the knowledge
that several hundred copies had been sent to
the principal cities, and that the terrors of
Imprisonment at Fort Warren or Lafayette
would not muzzle the press. accordingly,
we have the report Simon pure, and The
same document edited by Seward The
Secretary Of State played high game aud
won, but the Secretary of War held the trick
and has the honor.
1t is also said that the Presidents message,
as sent into Congress, was to some extent
worked over by the Secretary of State, and
that he was virtually sustained by all of the
Cabinet except Secretaries Cameron and
Chase, Secretary Welles siding with these
gentlemen, but not wishing to enter into
any controversy on a matter which the
President could decide.
A promulgation of these facts has caused
an advance in conservative stock, bus the
more progressive Republicans are only the
more earnest to carry their points, and they
declare that Congress will adopt Cameron's
policy. So we may expect a stormy session
but it is to be hoped that ere long there will
be harmonious concert of action, tor di
vided North is just what the rebels have evel
ed for.

The American Bible Society has done
great work for the army and navy. 1t has
distributed, in these two branches OF the
national service, about half million copies
of the Scriptures, mostly of the New Tests-
ment, and is now issuing seven thousand
copies a day. Every man in our volunteer
regiments, who would receive one, has been
furnished, as we are informed, with very
neat and portable copy of the New Testa-
ment; and the same good work is to be done
for the other regiments that may yet volun-
teer in the service of their country to the
end of the war. So noble an object is worthy
of every body'ssympathy asd cooperation.

REMARKABLE ACCIDENTAL MAN SwAL-
LOWS HIS SET OF TEETH IN HIS SLBEP.-On
Friday night last MIR. Madegsn, residing in
Euclid, awoke with a sense Of suffocation,
and discovered that during his sleep he had
swallowed a partial set of teeth, with the
gold plate TO which they were attached.
The plate is crescent shaped, hooked at
each end, and having three teeth set at ir-
regulsr intervals on it. How it could have
passed into his throat is difficult TO account
for. Eventually it got into his stomach, and
caused him such e1crutiating pain that he
put himself under DR.. Strong's care. No
surgical operation can, of course, be per-
formed at present, and from the peculiar
formation of the object, it is not easy to pass
through the stomach and intestines without

MORE DIABoLIoAL WoRK.-We find this
item in the Baltimore Clipper of yesterday !:
We learn from one of the Lieutenants of
the Fifth Regiment New York Zouaves, that
an attempt was made TO poison with strych
nine some, if not all their men, while in the
neighborhood of Bellhaven. The Lieuten-
ant says the citizens had prepared about
three hundred pies, in which they had placed
the poison, and, had it not been for some of
the negroes, the privstes would have eaten
freely of them, as they were short of pro.
visions just at that particular time, owing
TO their having to keep on the march. After
it became known in their camp, (about two
miles distant from toe town. it was with the
greatest difficulty that the Colonel and the
respective Captains could control the men

The war has not drawn so largely upon

FIoridn for tho Nearoes.

The New York Tribune proposes to send
the liberated slaves to Florida, there to be
coloniEed and made useful, prosperous and
happy. If the slaves are to be colonized at
all, it is probable Florida is as good place
to send them as could be selected. It has a
fine climate, rich soil, and can grow all
kinds OF tropical products, from oranges to
cotton-the very articles that the negro
would prefer to raise to all others.
Florida contains sixty-six thousand square
miles, which makes it larger than Eng
land and Wales. 1t has fewer white in.
habitants than Hamilton County, and
could no doubt be colonized with colored
people with fewer drawbacks than any other
portion of our country. But the Albany
KnickerbOeker is opposed to the colonization
scheme, and asks, Why should we colonize
the slaves at all2 Why not let them be
where they are2 Their labor is as much
needed in Georgia and South Carolina as it
ever was. Why, then, take the slave from
the land of his birth and ship him off to
Florida or any other placer five con6scste
the plantations of those engaged in the re-
bellion, we confscste the very land which
the confscated slaves might and should till.
The plantations referred to should be divided
UP among loyal men in the army and navy,
and the slaves hired for so much per month
to work the said plantations. This is the
best and cheapest plan that can be adopted.
The colonization platform will be highly ex-
pensive, and never popular with the negroes.
No mans love of home is stronger than the
Africans. This fact should be remembered
by the Government, and nothing done which
will cause this sentiment to render the move
ment abortive. If we send the slaves to
Florida, they will be unproductive for the
first year at least. This would be great
expense to the Government, aud highly de-
moralizipg to the negroes. Let them remain
on the confscsted plantations, and they be-
come a self-sustaining institution at once
On these plantations are the houses, tools
horses, mules and machinery to do up the
years work without expending single dol
lar. The Government should recollect the
motto of Davy Crockett-"Be sure you're
right, then go ahead"

A New Orleans Suggestion.

The New Orleans Crescent makes this sug.
gestion:
''It is high time this city was purged OF
all persons who express Northern sympa-
thieS, or who manifest joy at any trifing
success of our enemies. If the forcible ar
rest of Messrs. Mason and Slidel be not re
sented forthwith by Great Britain, the Brit
ish Consulate should be required to be
closed in this city instanter The British
Government has not sent Consul TO the
Confederate States, and it is derogatory on
the part of the Confederate Government to
permit the residence among US of British
official accredited to the Lincoln Govern
ment."

tain recognition from England in auy
other way, they are ready to 60 to war with

On the 1st of June last, according to the
report of the Commissioner of Pensions, there
were but sixty-three Revolutionary patriots
on the pension rolls, and that number by this
time has no doubt been reduced to less than
fifty. A few years more and the last of these
cid veterans will have been gathered with
his patriotic brothers in the spirit land. We
hope the last one, at least, will live to see
the country again united and happy.
