B; The condition Of political affairs
4 enough a. ureseuf and The cbfef rsenon.

DEAR B.: The condition OF political affairs
is bad enough at present, and the chief TespOn-
sibility for the whole rests with Mr.. Buch-
anan. We, here, do not feel ourselves at all
responsible for any o. the traitorours proceed
ings at the South, nor do we think tue Union
dissolved FOR all the resolutions Of South Car
olina and ether seeding States. I caLnot tell
what Dir. Lincoln's course will be, but in my
opinion very straight measures will be taken
byhim. The force OF the Government will be
exerted in favor Of the Union and against all
who aid or comfort the enemies Of TIE Union.
The forts and a~rsenals viii be reinforced and
Tetaken, and, il war ensaes, they must take
the consequences who resist Che arms Of The
United States. I tell you, Mr.. g.. that traitors
must look out after Lincoln becomes Presi-
dent. There never was a better time for US to
meet treason snd put it down. We are full Of
material resources, and our people are pretty
generally united here, although there are a few
southern men who are talking secession. But
whea The struggle comes they will 20 with a
jerk il they move an inch against the onion.
As Tor the effect Of the troubles on us, ]
think, in any event, we cannot suffer. n, con-
trary to my opinion, the Union should finally
DO dissolved, this city would most likely be-
come the capital Of the North, and rise into
importance and power at once. If war comes
our products will be in demand and bear a
high price; and If secession blows over we
shall enter, under MoFTiil's tariff upon a
course Of commercial prosperity never before
equaled. A Pacific railroad will be built, and
the interests Of the. North favored as they
never have been hitherto. Our worst trouble
is the currency, but I think a bill will pass our
legislature for be remedy Of that evil.
] think If you would string up your Mayor
Wood, and hang some Of the seeessionists and
traitors who frequent your city, and resolve to
put doWn tie rebels BY force, that we and you
would get along much better, as well as the
whole Union. The insolsnce of the South can
not be endured: they are insensible to reason,
and must-and WILDE met with the strong
arm. Northern men are slow to anger, and
accustomed to settle their q~uarrels by peacea-
bic means; but letthem get thoroughly aroused
and they will be more than enough for the
South IN any struggle, and the longer they
fight the worse customers they will become.

The Boar OF FAITH" Old Billy" was
keeper of the ferry across the TaIahatchie at
the little town of Belmont, and was greatly
respected and revered by his colored brethren
all the country around as pious and orthodox
Hard Shell. On one occasion, the heavy rains
having widened and greatly augmented the
impetuosity of the stream, an ox-driver, the
color of charcoal, drove his team into the boat
and as the old man turned his wheel and drew
off from the shore, the oxdriver, looking occa-
sionaIly forth upon the turbid stream, appealed
to his reverend ferryman:
" 1 say, Ung Billy, s'pose dem ropes break,
whar you reckon we'd go to p
:" ] reckon you'll stay in de boat" answered
old Billy
Yes, but" continued the other de boat
mought be in heaven before we know it."
Old Billy looked upon his young disciple
with the utmost scorn and contempt, and re-
piled;
did you eber hear OBJ boat going to
heben ?"
Whar de old Ship Of Zion ~ promptly
asked the other.
This was sumner. Old Billy, being a
Hard Shell of the strictest kind, could not
gainsay the existence and destination of this
ilustrious craft. So, eyeing his questioner for
a moment with extreme annoyance, he at
length uttered a groan, and said:
Dat boat warn't made oh wood, it was
made OBJ fduh" And as if emboldened by
a new idea perfectly unanswerable, he added
& it didn't go to heben neither. 1t jest went
to de shore and 'livered de passengers"
This explanation was rather too much for
the younger, and deferring to the greater age
and Biblical learning of his elder brudder, y
