A NECRoMANCER-On Herman, a NEGRO
mancer, has appeared at st. Louis. He calls
himself the Prestigiator" One of his per-
formances with cards is thus described by the
Democrat:
"One particular and peculiar feat Illustrates
either his control over pasteboard, or over the
imagination of his audience, or perhaps his
ability to perceive and participate in the men
tai process Of individuals, and compel those
others to determine according as he has deter
mined. AS this is more than mere egerde-
main, and really an intellectual achievement, it
rises above the level Of ordinary prestigiation.
Herman takes pack Of cards and passes them
to the audience, allowing any individual to
handle them, and to mentally select a card :;
after ten have made this silent choice. of which
no outward indication is afforded, the cards
are returned to the performer, who himself ex.
tracts a single card and holds it up to the
spectators, throwing the rest aside.
Breathing on this solitary card, he shows it
to one of those in the audience whose mental
reservation had been previously made, and that
individual recognizes immediately his selections;
Herman breathes again on the same card, when
it is shown to another of the ten, and is again
recognized. but this time with a different face ;
and so on, through the ten phases the card
progresses-al in full view of thousands of
people, who can detect no means of metamor
phosis. This the Prestigiator will do for any
body none can hide in any recesses of his
mind the choice be makes of card"

SoUrHERn OPINION or NORTHERN VALoR
The North has DO officers to command or drill
the oowardly motley crew OF starving for
eigners and operatives that it proposes to sent
South to Eli bitches, and as food for cannon
because il has NO room or means in its peni
tenriaries and poor houses TO receive or sus
tain them. The regular troops of the Union
since the resignation of the Southerners
are deficient in ofhcers, and who are TO drill
and command the 75, 900 militia Sheep
II We except Benedict Arnold, there never
was Northern man who Was fitted to com.
mand, il you would give him chance 10
run! Like cowardly boys when pent up OF
ship board without chance Of escape, they
gather courage from despair, and fight des-
perately. But With ninety nine Northern
men in . hundred, on ell occasions, duty,
honor, patriotism, has ever been considered
and will ever be considered, a mere matter Of
profit and loss. Since the days OF Wash
ington, they have ever deemed that course
or conduct by which most money is made
| and least risk incurred, the most virtuoas
aud honorable.
They will not come to Washington, they
cannot be hand cuffed and driven to Wash
iugton, If we will only precede them and let
them see that they will have to fight for
glory, and not for spoils and plumber. They
never did fight, and never will fight, except
for pay, for pillage, and for plumber. Once

The cowardly traitor who edits the Jour
nal At Des Moines has ndoc.rinated his read.
ers with his own pusillanimous treachery,
and is now publishing tho proceedings Of pub.
TIC meetings OF bis friends against the war. A
public meeting Of these miserable creatures
was held the other day at the little village Of
Rising San, near the Capital, over which one
George Robson presided, and Joseph R..
Ogilsie acted as Secretary. We should be
pleased to have list of the members OF the
meeting that We might ventilate the infamy
OF all these peace patriot traitors to the gen.
eral contempt Of mankind.
Here lie one Of the resolutions as sample
OF the lot adopted by the meeting:
Resolved, That as lovers OF our country
and coantrymen, We do not feel willing to
take up arms and shed fra,ernal blood, I'm /.
less our homes are invaded.
II matters not to these home loving patri.
OTIS that Anderson and his gallant comrades
were bcs;egei, starved and almos. burned
up by an army OF traitors at Sumter. II
matters not to them that JEFF. Davis and bis
usurping Confederate traitors have seised all
the public property Of the United States with
In their reach; have chartered pirates to prey
upon the commerce Of the country; have
mustered forces to invade the CAPITAL ana
overthrow The Government founded by our
fathers, and are denouncipg destruction BY
hre and sword against the cities of the North.
Oh, no! their patriotism is confined to the
narrow purlieus OF their ownhog pen, and
they won't take up arms till their pet pir
squeais, when they intimate that theywill have
no objections to shedding fraternal blood !"
And instead Of bold, patriotic and scorch !.
ing denuncistion Of such tory sentiments, the
editor OF the Journal is guilty OF wretched.
ly mean and sneaking endorsement OF their
action. He says:
The action OF our friends at Rising Sun
may or may not have been wise-time only
can determine.
The editor don't know whether II is wise
Or not. There IL no honest patriot in the
land who does notknow exsctly, and no one

there are only two sides to tho question:
