wrestling, on Saturday last, in front of

broken near the ankle. After he was
taken home, the bones were set by Drs.

of Dixiana, is growing Respondent, and is
throwing the hottest of hot shot into the
camp of president Davis and the troops
lying on their backs in the SUM- It thus
gives the Richmond Dispatch rub on the
''inexplicable policy"

touchinglY on .the inexplicable policy" as
will be seen by the extract we publish be-
low. But it is very narrow in its views,
when it considers it as exempting "cotton
planters" from its benefcent operations
South Carolina is to be next, may be, to
Virginia, in suffering, as it will learn by the
news in our columns. The armada is to
disgorge it's hate and fury on South Carroll ma.
We hope President Davis, with the troops
on the Potomac, lying on their backs
In the sun, feel very comfortable, but
we do not envy them their glorious inactiv-
ity:
cit is in vain to hope that Lincoln or his
party will ever make peace as long as they
can carry on the war in our territory. An
inexplicable policy has allowed them to take
possession of large portion of Virginia,
where they are running the country and its
people as fast as they can. AS long as they
can conduct the war in that way, so long
will they refuse to listen to peace. Only by
| carrying it into their own territories can the
people of Yankeedom be reached, and made
to take the matter out of the hands of the
politicians. AS things are managed at pres

ton. Virginia has been selected as the
battle field. 1t is not enough that she has

that she has furnished 80. 900 stand of arms
to troops belonging to other States-it is not
enough that she has fed the whole enormous
army congregated on the Potomac for
months-it is not enough that she has fur
nished them with cannon. and powder, and
balls-it is not enough that she has done
more for this war than all the other States
of the Confederacy put together-she must
be made-made by her friends-to feel the
weight of it. Her richest counties must be
occupied by the enemy, who are by no
means to be disturbed, lest, if they should
be defeated, they should fly into Maryland,
and into Maryland they must not be pur
sued. The enemy are not to be repealed,
lest it should disturb some strange strategic
combination. She is regarded as but ge-
ographical expression-but field for the
exercise of grand strategic combination, in
which she is sure to be plundered, no mat
ter what the result may be.
''But patience. This state of things can
not last more than six years. It will ruin
thousands of loyal Virginians; but what of
that? They are not cotton planters a

AmER1cKN SOCIETY.

In America, more even than in Europe,
there is but one society, whether rich or
poor, high or low, commercial or agricultural;
it is everywhere composed of the same ele-
ments. 1t has all been raised or reduced to
the same level of civilization. The man
whom you left in the streets of New York
yon find again in the solitude of the Far
West; the same dress, the same tone oil
mind, the same language, the same habits,
the same amusements. No rustic simple
ity, nothing even like our villages. This
peculiarly may be easily explained. The
portions of territory first and most fully
peopled have reached high degree of civil
lization. Education has been prodigally
bestowed; the spirit of equality has tinged
with singular uniformity the domestic hab-
its. Now, it is remarkable that the men
thus educated are those who every year
migrate to the desert. In Europe, a man
lives and dies where he was born. In
America, you do not see the representatives
of a race grown and multiplied in retire
ment, having long lived unknown to the
world, and left to its own efforts. The in
habitants of an isolated region arrived yes
terday, bringing with them the habits, ideas
and wants of civilization. They adopt only
so much of savage life as is absolutely forced
upon them; hence you see the strangest
contrasts. You step from the wilderness
into the streets of city, from the widest
seems to the most smiling pictures of civilized
ed life. If night does not surprise you and
force you to sleep under tree, you may
reach a village where you will find every
thing, even French fashions, and caricatures
from Paris. The shops of Buffalo or De-
fPOi oil
things as those of New York. The looms
of Lyons work for both alike. You leave
the high road; you plunge into paths scarce
ly marked out; you come at length upon a
plowed field, hut built of rough logs,
lighted by single narrow window; you
think that you have at last reached the abode
of an American peasant; you are wrong.
You enter this hut, which looks the abode
of misery: the master is dressed as you are;
his language is that of the towns. On his
rude table are books and newspapers; he
takes you hurriedly aside to be informed of
what is going on in Europe, and asks you
the plan of campaign in Belgium, and will
teach you gravely what remains to be done
for the prosperity of France. You might
take him for arich proprietor, come to spend
a few nights in shooting box. And, in
fact, the log hut is only a hating place for
the American-a temporary submission to
necessity. As soon as the surrounding
fields are thoroughly cultivated. and their
owner has time to occupy himself with SUI
.periuities, more spacious dwelling will
succeed the log hut, and become the home
of large family of children, who, In their
turn, will some day build themselves a

dear old State, whose half estranged heart
burned with more than the old love for
him before he died; Baker rests glorious in
death, precious offering to the spirit of

A CONSERVATIVE VIEW.

The New York Eapress says that slavery
is to perish if the South PERSISTS in the war.
Probably so. The rebels counted the cost
and estimated the risk, doubtless, before
commencing hostilities. 1t is not impossible
that the institution will present series of
dissolving views, as the war progresses
but it will not be the result of Congression-
al enactments or sounding procamations.
All the Government has to do is to let slavery
severely alone. only providing for the en-
ployment of such of its creatures as either
relieve themselves of the property condition
or are relieved by their fugitive masters.
In the presence of military necessities and
operations, the functions of civil law are
very apt to cease, and whatever depends
solely upon it for an existence, perishes
with it. 1t must have deeper vitality, and
depend in some measure upon natural rights
and common law, to survive the rude shock
of arms.
The business of the Government is to
preserve the Union, not to look after slavery
If that system can get through the struggle
without humiliation, well and good. and if it
perishes, still well and good. Leave slavery
to take care of itself, while loyal people
unite all of the energies of the civil and mill
itary power to preserve the integrity of the
Union and the Constitution; aud when the
strife is over, and the smoke of battle has
passed away we shall have abundant leisure
to look about the field and see whether the
ebony idol of jeff. Davis's oligarchy is
among the killed or missing.-C Cincinnati
