4 Good .Joke,

The great excitement oil abont the city on
:Mone ~, was followed yesterday, on the open.
ing of business, by calmness aud quietness.
Ths great manifesto from Washington CITY,
signed by Messrs. Lincoln and Seward, was
considered the greatest joke Of the season.
Thd rsible faculties Of the habitues Of he
aags could not be. suppressed when It waz ii.
lnded to. =. %-
!. A;rare. good Joke indeed. But not content
With 1.-THE Crescent gets off better. II ID in
these words:
= Then came along the thrilling account that
Memphis, the grest comm ercial metropolis of
Tennessee, had resolved to :gp, out Of the
Union. Though at drst Y1eW tuch proceed
1n9s ..sv be speered at, yet such.a movement
can and win be carried oas; 10 w;..ehh wa.eh ne may
add that the entire western district Of Ten

to 1eTiii lNat The city Of Ne,0 Yor& had declared

REGENERATION.

The great demand made upon the pa
triothm of the loym people Of this land,
will not be without its regenerating effect:
Thehesrt Of the country Is touched. The
conscience Of the nation js awakened Its
intellect is convinced. The events of the
past week have brushed away the binding
sopMstries Of faction and of, creed. Par.
ties that stood Of, eyeing each other as.
kance, or with lnok Of deadly hate, have
had 3 new revelation ofpolitical gospel-a
flood Of Light shed upon the path Of du--
ty. The surface Of old organizations
and: associations has been SWEPT OF,
and: all; men see that the, North,
without distinctions Of party, nationality
or creed, is botsomed on the eternal veri-
ties, the recognition Of which was the Rev.
olusion Of 17M 1t is q regeneration the
value Of which outweighs the Nervousness
otths treason against which we contend;
because whatever the duration OF result Of
the wal, the generous impulse, the ardent
patriotism. and heroic devotion which our
people bring to II, must reach over into the
future and for long time hereafter control
4nd guide the destinies of the Republic
This great awakening has not come too
soon. People in their devotion to material
pursuits, were forgetting that their Iber-
ties and thsir Institutions needed their
pious care to save them from destruction.
The possibilities: of treason, and ambition
were overlooked in the greed fur.gain.
Continuance of the blessings Of freedom
was looked for as an inevitable sequence
Of our nationality-as. thing Independent
ofthe fidelity to principle which We might
display. But all taat confidence has been
rudely destroyed. The hangers Of The
present and futnre-the: possibility that the
freedom which our fathers gained may be
abridged. that the institutions which they
founded naysA overturned, and that the
despotic principle Which sanctions the buy
ing and selling ofmen may be made the
corneF stone Of what the traitors propose
to bdiid, has scattered the guarantys Of
national and personal security, and made
al men as BIZ sers in the common defence:
