My conclusions are, that underlying the
Secession sentiment that covers the whole
surface of society at the South, there is
deep and abiding love of the old Union

potism which hasfeW parallels in the history
Of the world. 1T needs only to be informed
and assured 70 become fearfully energetic.
Thoroughly uDfetter its limbs by the strong
arm of Federal power, twill become speed
lily omnipotent in crushing the eggs ofselfish
rebellion out Of which are Matched the foul
seTpents of disunion. Let the Government
give that assurance by quick, powerful and
effective action, and convey the truth to g.
deceived people at the mouth OF the cannon,
if necessary, and all will be well soon. Yet
the Government has foe to meet not to be
despised. The chief rebels are desperate
and determined men, endowed with superior
talents, and furnished with many resources.
Itis now with them question of life or
death, honor or dishonor, glory or infamy,
| Those who are involved in this treason, by
| taking up arms for them, are in the same
| desperate condition. And the South is full
| of brave and self sacrificing men. In all
emergencies, when the flag Of our common
country called for defenders, they have
shown an alacrity and courage in respons'
not to be SURPASSED. In good cause they
make puissant cohorts. Let the Governmenl
and the Northern States then, be prepared
for desperate conflict

Terrible Gymnastics.

At the London Alhambra, lately. a
performance Of the" sensation school
served 10 augment 10 an extraordinary
extent the usual attractions of the place.
A flying man" named Leo,ard, whose
fame bad preceded him from ST. Peters
burg, Vienna and Paris, was auuounc.
ed to appear IN a character entirely
novel. A raised Platform was erected
upon The floor of the building, extend
Ing from the front of the gallery 10 the
rear OF the Stage. Over this was sus-
pended the trapeZe IN three different
DIVISIONS or swings, each consisting of
two ropes, about three feet apart, sup
porting a stout stick, which the perform
er graSps IN his dangerous gyrations-
One OF these hung from about the cen

The preparations having been concluG-

man middle heightand dark complexion,
dressed III light colored ughts, with
black vest exten4Ing down nearly 10 his
hips, made his appearance. Ascend
ing tAe gallery ara seiziug hold of the
hrSt trapeze, he swung himself forward,
and with the velocity thus acquired lit
orally flew to the next, and then. catch
ing hold of it, took a sutnersaut and
sprang TO the last with the same ord
IKE facility. The daring of these
movements, combined probably with the
dread which every one must have felt
as 10 the inevitable consequence Of the
slightest hitch or failure, sent a tremor
OF anxiety through The closely packed
sghl-seers, and no sooner was their
success complete tLan he obtained an
ovation.
Bat this was but 1.-THE of the mirac-
