This, That, and the Other.

ALL respectable Democrats in Washington
are perfectly willing to see general sweep
in the public offices, and admit that most oi
the incumbents are totally unfit.
Ex-Member Regan, Of Texas, now Pos,
Master General Of the Confederate States, has
written to Washington for his quota Of Con.
gressional books. Cool!
FLORIDA has just sold half million oi
acres of land to-some New Orleans spccula.
tors at two cents an acre.
ded in Texas by the Indians, during the
past three months, is estimated at 40.
The Montgomery correspondent Of the
New Orleans Delta says he has heard tho
names Of Yanccy, Davis, Conrad and Toombs
mentioned in connection with the Presidcn
cy of the Confederate States under the perIna
nent government. He thinks the election
will not take place before next November.
The albany Atlas and Argls also appear.
to have stcnted the reconstruction idea Oh
the basis of JEFF. Davis Constitution, for il
has Of late been prasing that instrument as
admirable" We may expect soon to see
jeff. Davis's Commissioners among us, and
the Democratic press throughout the North
with full accord supporting the plan. On
our part, we arc ready for the day which is
to witness the opening Of such contest, and
we trust that the machinists and scene-shif
ters, whose Office 1t is, will not long postpone
the lifting Of the curtain.--N Y. Tribune.
SEVERAL gentlemen have arrived at Wash
ington from Texas within day or two
One Of them states that in conversation with
Gov. Houston, a few days since, he stated
that civil war in Texas was inevitable, and
Alabama would soon be involved in the same
dilemma as Texas now is. The Southern
Commissioners are much troubled by the re
cent news from Texas.
One Of the recent uses to which India rub.
ber is put, is that Diminishing the material
for business cards. Besides the various con
yenient forms which may be given to tho
material, it may also be improved With any
ornament or ssga suitable to any par
ticular business. The material makes iiph,
and PRETTY moulded business cards, one
advantage Of which is that they cannot be
defaccd easily, and are almost indestructiblc
II would be very economical for passcpee,
railroad tickets, for the same tickets wosilt
last for months; another great advantage
would be that they could not be initiated. =
To the companies which sell packages o
tickets, good for any day, these tickets would
be saving and a protection

All for Our Country.

America has entered second time upon
struggle for national eristence Each man
must take part in the conflict, and bear his
portion of the burdens. It is not to be ex.
pected that every ablc-bodied man will shoul.
der a nusket aud march under the orders OF
his Government, but it is both expected and
required, that all will participate in the strife
with loyal hearts and willing hands--that
every man will aid and none rctard, the ef.
forts of the Goycrnmcnt--tha all will be
prepared TO lay down property and life on
their countrys altar, if the dread exigency
arise. These arc palpablc solemn, earnest
facts. The very life Of the Union is at stake,
and while the struggle goes on, tho blood
and treasure OF her sons must be poured out
In such volume as may be necessary. The
merchants must be content with small pro-
fits, the speculator must forget bis calling,
tho professional man must accept smaller fees
and diminished salerics, and thousands in
every class and every walk of life must fight
under the banner which has protected them
which Is to protect their children after
they arc gone. These duties have ever been
held holy among nations. From one end Of
the land to the other the old fire OF the Rev
olution is kindled, and millions Of stout
hearts arc beating responsive to their coun-
try's call.
Let it not be believed that the conflict viii
soon be ended. The traitors and ingrates
who have commenced the war are detcrmin-
ed to overthrow the Government and Con-
stitution. They have staked everything on
their fell purpose, and they must be crusAsd
before they will cease to strike. They must
be put down with shot and shell, or they
will put us down with the same implements
and burn tho national emblems over our
graves. Traitors die hard Gatiline and his
army of parricides fought like demons as
they were, but the patriots Of Rome slew
them all in their tracks on The field of Pisto-
ria. The same issue is now presented to us.
Either the patriots or the parricides ofAmer-
ica must fall. The weaker party must 70
down, whether the strife be ended this year
or twenty years hence. The time for half
way measure has gone by, and it now be-
hooves both the Government and the rebGls
to strike wherever they can strike most ef.
fectuAlly and infict the most harm. The

The Hearts Guests.

When age has cast It's shadows s..
Ger life's declining way,
And the evening twilight gathers
Round our departing day.,
Then, while we sit and ponder
On the deep and shadowy past,
Within the hearts still chambers
The guests will gather fast.
The friends in youth We cherished 1gs.
Shall come to us once more,
Again to hold communion
As in days Of yore.
They may be stern and sombre;
They may be bright and fair, "a.
But the heart will have It's chambers;
The guests will gather there.
How shall It be, my sister?
Who, then, shall be our guests?
How shall II be, my brothers,
When the shadow on US restsf .
Shall we not, amid the silence,
In accents soft and low, .
Then hear familiar voices, .
And words Of long ago.
Shall we not see dear faces,
Sweet smiling as Of old, ..
Till the mist Of that dear chamber
Are sunsets clouds Of gold, ..v
When age has cast II shadows
Der life's declining way,
And the evening twilight gathers sr
Round our departing day.

RAscALLY, But FUNSy.-Some pie
ces of raseality one can hardly help
laughing at For instance the follow
ing advertisement is said to have been
published recently:
~ Great BcUgai1a.-To all who
may enclose one dollar, I will send, by
mail, post paid, q fire cut engraved por-
trait Of George Washington, the father
of his country, together with an ele-
giant portrait Of Benjamin Franklin
either separately at four shllllngs. Ad-
dress A. B. street, Boston.
The Elsickerbocker says ,tkat "vic-
tim" informs it that he enclosed the
dollar, and 'sthe fellow actually sent
back three cent and one cent post
age stamp, ornamented with the finely
cut heads"

influence of these people very much
! but not their motive. Should the wal
continue on its plan of taking the great
est pains not to iniure slavery, as if il
were essential to the salvation of the
government, this class will become
more and more arrogant, aud will give
more and more comfort and aid to the
enemy. And it is not al ail unlikely
to happen that the war may thus be
transferred to the soil of the free states.
Then the revolution Of 70 will have to
be fought over again, with even more
fearful odds against inalienable rights.
AS the slave holders are actually at
war with the whole human race, in fa-
vor ofiniustice to the weak, shall we
not take up the gage and fight for
downright insticc? The war must
end one way or another. Justice must
gain or lose by it. If slavery is to
survive, justice must lose. If it is not,
better have it killed by the shortest
cut. Ho! unsophisticated young
America, to the rescue. Oceans Of
twaddle have been ladlcd over this ma
ton about the danger of letting black
people loose. Would to God there
were some danger in 1t! They are
entirely too safe fer their own interests
aud ours. 1t is time to hoot out OF
this continent the nonsense that is more
dangerous to hire than to drive, to cash
than to lash anybody. There is not
one fact in this worlds history, SO far
as the writer knows, and he once offer
ed a handsome reward for one, to show
that any harm ever came from llberat-
ing slaves. They can be kept from
stealing as easily when free, as when
slaves. If they will not work for av4
ges they starve to death, which, in the
circumstances, is of course blessing,
This war, as has been truly said more
than ten thousand times, already, is
not war for the emancipation of black
people and never can be. 1t is a ques
zion of the life and liberty of q nation,
chiefly white. But we all deserve to
be black and chattel slaves to boot, If;
we do not have the sense to use the
cmanci patton Of the black people as the
means of saving the nation, it being
self-evidently means of ending the re-
bellion in the shortest possible time.
Does anybody ask, After the slaves
are set free and the rebellion crushed,
what then? Will shareholders consent
to work free system =? Doubtless
not, if left to themselves. The difficult
ty Of emancipation is always the unfit
ness of the master. But the expenses
of the waE must be paid, and the lands
Of the rebels must do it. Our arnies
will settle them. They are well drill
ed in the arts of peace, if not Of war;
They know how to work themselves,
and how to make others work justly
and happily. Capital will flow where
they yoke to the plow and kinale the
forge fire. They must and will plant,
water and cherish the right sort Of civ
ilization on the sell tleir courage has
delivered from the curse. Human ma
turc is everywhere the same. The
cause Of hatred being removed the ha
tired will cease, and the very men who
struck at the beloved flag in behalf of
y pitiful tyrrany: will bless and veneer
ate the conquerors who struck under it
in the name of eternal justice.

that the troops in the State service would
not submit to the legislation of the General
Assembly, was unbecoming his official po-
sition and an invasion of the privileges of
the House, and in conclusion, that the Gov
ernor has asserted a falsehood.
We clip the following from the Nashville
Courier of the 18th: ~
RICHMOND, IA Lynchburg letter to
the Republican from an officer in Camp
Allegheny says, our loss was two Captains,
three Lieuteuants and fifteen privates killed,
and ninety-seven wounded. The Federal
loss is fully 500.
Gen. Milroy commanded the Federals,
and it is. supposed that he was killed from
reports made by prisoners and the neigh
borhood people. Col. johnson acted most
gallantly. He appeared in the field dressed
like wagner, with musket in one hand
and a club in the ether George Brown,
brother of Gov. Brown of Georgia, private
in Hampton's Legion, died here tonight at
9 o'clock

FROM NEWPORT News. - We learn
through the New York Herald that within
ten days four regiments composed mostly
of Louisiana troops have left the fortifca-
tons stretching in one continuous chain
from James river up to Big Bethel, taking
their artillery with them, thus reducing the
force to one-half of what it numbered by
last accounts. Col. McLaws, who was com
mander of the division stationed at and
about Young's Mill, is gone to Williams
burg, and there seems to be the greatest
CONSERVATION both on account OF the ter
rihle news from the South and the fear
of an attack by our forces in this depart
ment. Food was extremely scarce; luxu-
ries, such as coffee and tobacco, not to be
had for love or money, and the horses
obliged to subsist on salt marsh hay With
true Southern want of foresight they
squandered their bountiful supply of oats
and hay early in the season, and the result
is that now their horses are almost starving
to death. The abatement in fever is now
more than counterbalanced by the sufferings
from cold. The severe Virginia winter
tells terribly on the Louisiana soldiers.
The supply of clothing is scant, and shoes
are so scarce that half the men go bare
footed.
