JUSTICE TO Mr.. SEwARD.--It is due to Mr..
Seward to say,-writes the Washington cores
pondent of the New York T;mes-that nothing
could be more unjust than the doubts of him
in the present emergency, which have been so
freely expressed. Time will vindicate the wis
dom of his policy of Cancellation at the begin.
ming. 1t was proper and necessary not only in
order that the rebellious states might have one
more opportunity to return to reason and loyal
ty, but also in order that, if they persisted in
disoyalty, they might be placed thoroughly in
the wrong. 1t was necessary for them to dis
abuse the public mind of the idea that this is a
partisan struggle-for, had Lincoln at once, up
on his Inauguration, proceeded to measures of
force, tens of thousands who to-day stand by
him heartily, would have considered his move
ment as the initiation of republican war;"
The policy of Cancellation at the beginning has
resulted in a thorough union of the people, and
the forgetfuness of all party lines. But since
the hour when the policy of conciliation had
completed its work, and sterner means of deal
ing with the rebels had arrived, ard the new
administration had got the machinery of gov
ernm mt fairly under control, no man has been
more decided, more active, or more advanced
in shaping tie war policy than has Mr.. Seward
This his associates say freely, and the secret
history of the day will establish the fact when
ever it can be made public.

BROTHER JoNATHAN's LAMENT FOR
SISTER CAROLINE.


SISTER CAROLINE.
She has gone--she has left us in passion and pride
Our stormy -browcd sister, so long ut our side!
she has torn her own star from our frmament's glow,
And turned on her brother the face OF foe!
O Caroline. Caroline. child Of the sun,
We can never forget that hearts have been one;
Our forehenls both spriuked in Liberty's nnmc,
From the fountain of blood with the finger of flame.
You were alwavs too ready to fire MT touch;
But we said, "She is hosy she does not mean mu"h;"
We have scowled when you uttered some turbulent
put friendship still whispered "Forgive and forget"
Has our love MI died cut? Have its affairs grown cold
Has the cursc c. me ut last which the fathers oretod
Then Nature must teach Us the strength Of the chain
That her pctuaut children would sever in vain.
They NAV fight till the buzzards are gorged with their
spol
Till the harvest grows black as it ros in the soil,
Till the wolves and the cntamounts troop from their
caves,
And the shark tracks the pirate the lord of the waves!
In vain is the strire When its fury is past,
Their fortunes must flow in one channel at last,
As the torrents thu rush from the mountains of snow
Roll mingled in peace through the valleys below.
Our Union is river lake ocean, aud sky:
Man breaks not the medal when God cuts the die!
Though darkeucd with sulpher, though clovcn with
steel,
The blue arch will brighten, the waters will heal
Caroline, Caroline, Caroline, child Of the sun,
There are battles with Fate that can never be won!
The star-Hnwering banner must never be furled,
For lis blossoms Of light are the hope of the world!
Go. then. our rash sister! after and aloof-
Run W Id in the sunshine away from our roof
But when your heart aches and your feet have grown
sore,
Remember the pathway that leafs to our door!.

Commands if the staff officers are incompetent.
The staff consists of the aids, the Adjutant
General, ihe Engineer, the Quarter-master and
Commissary Generals. Through the Adujtant
General ali orders are conveyed to each par
tcular part. BY the Quarter-master General
all transportations, and vehicles, and horses are
furnished; by the Commssary all supplies; by
the Engineer the topography of the country is
thoroughly examined, the practicability nf pas
ses determined, Notifications built or attacked.
Thus the staff of an army becomes its eyes, and
all its faculties, the General simply deciding the
movements of the army, on the facts and ell
ements thus furnished. In the grand French
armies there was a chief-of-the staff, or head of
the active Military Bureau. In Napoleon's
time this chef-of- the-staf was Marshal Ber-
thipr, deemed one of the ablest officers of the
Frence army. Napoleon knew the value of a
good staff and had ADLER men in it than were at
the head of the divisions. If any extensive
army should be formed, this should always be
the case.

AN INFANT LoGIcIAN.-A grandchild of DIR.
Emmons, when not more than six years of age,
came to him with trouble weighing on her
mind. "a. B. says that the moon is made of
green cheese, and don't believe it," "Don't
you believe it?" II know it isn't" "But how
do you know" as it, grandpa?" Don't
ask me that question, you must find it out your
self" "How can find it out?" "You must
study into it," She knew enough to resort to
the first of the Genesis for information, and
after truly Emmons-like search, she ran into
the study 'rve found outi the moon is not
made of green cheese, for the moon was made
before the cows were."-Prof. Park.

They have organized "Home Guard" at
Yonkers, N Y Perhaps it will hardly do to
Judge of its character from a remark of the

said, at is understood that the Home Guard is
not to go to the wars, and not to leave Yonkers
except in case of INVASION"
