Such is the exclamation Of a portion of the
press Of England, the wish no doubt being
the foundation for the assertion. Desiring
to witness the dissolution of the powerful
young Republic which has sprung so magic.
like into existence, these journals insist, be-
cause powerful and wicked rebellion has
not been crushed in a day, that the "Amer-
ican Union is hopelessly destroyed, and
that the question of mans capacity for self.
government has been tested aud found want
ing"--that the great American Republic has
ceased to exist--has passed into history to
be reckoped as living entity no more.
There is scarcely throne in Europe that
has not at some periodsbeen upheaved by
revolution scarcely a dynasty that has not,
at some time, been driven from ancestral
rule. England itself furnishes no exception.
The war of the Roses, the revolution that
made Cromwell Protector, the subsequent
conflict that drove the Stuarts into perpetual
exile, are the subjects of every school-boy 8
studies. And yet they do not furnish, even
TO Englishmen, evidence of the instability Of
monarchical institutions. The Bourbons
have been hunted from almost every throne
on the continent, and their places supplied
by new men, clothed in official purple; but
no English writer has discovered in this fact
that kingly rule is fable. The simple truth
is, that republicanism does not, any more
than monarchical theories or government
restrain or obliterate the bad passions o
men. Reckless ambition, impatience of gov
ernmental control, treason and rebellion
against the State, constitute species Q
wickedness that will crop out OCCASIONAL.

Lonsinr for the "sunny south.n

Our troops are looking with wishful eyes
to the distant South, where the "palm blooms
and the gentle zephyrs blow" the year round.
1t is said the War Department is literally be-
sieged by the Colonels of the regiments in
and about Washington for permission to take
their commands to South Carolina. The
stories of the italian climate and delicious
fruits of Beaufort, narrated by those who
have described the region now in possession
of the forces of the United States, have
greatly sharpened the appetites of our sol.
diers, and they are anxious, if there are to
be winter quarters any where, that they
Ehould spend December and January in that
winter-favored locality. We trust many o
them will be gralified.

ARMY sPKcULAToRs IN THE SOUTH.

tFTom the New Orleans Merchants Journal
The Confederate Government has suffered inn
mensely, and suffers every day, from specuIat-
ors. The huRest swindling has been and is
now prsc'iced by army contractors. Men,
whom it was gross outrage to call Southerners,
are making fortunes from the treasure of our
young republic, and spsculating on the blood
and health of our gallant soldiers, who need
comfortable clothing to protect them against
the cold winters in Virginia, Kentucky and
Missouri. We venture the assertion that the
money thus pooketed by shameless spectators
in the sale of unseaworthy steamers, bad medi-
ciDes, poor uniforms, and stale provisions, since
the commencement Of the war, would be suf ,
fcient to furnish clothing for the army of the
Potomac. 1t is even openly said by some Of
the speculsting gentry that if fortunes can not
now be made another chance will not soon oc
cur, and that, as thousands are engaged in
Fpeculations, they see no reason why they, too,
should fail TO embrace good opportunities. The
argument is that If the city is full Of burglars,
who do a thriving business, the crime being
winked at by the police, every man is justified

There are some smart chaps among the
Southern rebel chiefs. They have a sharp
wsy of apparently swelling their recruits.
1t is said at Bowling Green, recently, know
ing their weakness, and wishing to make a
show in order to induce the Union men to turn
in with their wicked designs, they shipped
their few ill.fed and worse clothed soldiers
at night about five miles into the country,
and marched them in round about route
back to Bowling Green, representing
them as new forces from the country, and
thus the delusion was continued for over .
week, until the deception was unmarked
and exposed to the public. The Union
troops relished the joke as a rich treat.

Cincinnati and The national ArmOry. .

In nine days from present date Congress
will meet in regular session at Washington.
1t seems to be taken for granted that that
body will establish q National Armory some.
where in the West. If so, Cincinnati has
paramount claims to be its location. That
Chicago and other cities should have ven
tured to assert theirs, can be accounted for
only on the hypothesis that our modesty has
given the rein to their ambition.
Cincinnati has nobly borne the ills Of
this great rebellion. No city in the Western
nen-slaveholding States has suffered an equal
prostration of commercial aod manufacturing
Interests. While trade between the East and
the West has flowed in a regular and con-
stant stream through the ports of Chicago,
Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo, trade be.
tween the North and the South, of which our
atty is one of the principal depots, has been
entirely stopped. Instead of navigating these
broad rivers as heretofore, our boats have
either been bound to our landing as if frozen
in the midst of an Arctic sea, or have crept
cautiously from port to port as if fearing to
be crushed by its icebergs.
20 Yet while her material interests have Ian
guished, Cincinnati has nobly maintained
her allegiance. There were prophets in the
South, at the outset of this contest, who
: Rverred that we should long ere this be found
yielding to their demsnds-that we should
be overwhelmed in financial ruin and forced
into the arms of the monster Secession. But
Cincinnati, as they have learned to their
deep chargin, would not sell her glorious
birthright for mess of pottage. Treason
has not been tolerated in her streets. The
blood of her sons has flowed freely on every
battlefield, from Manassas to Piketon No
city of equal size claims to have recruited
more men for the war. She has stood upon
the boundary marked out for the Southern
Confederacy by its arrogant leaders, and
they have received from her no glance Of
comfort-nothing but defiance and seorn
That their rage and their fear have been ex
cited by her frmness, we have abundant
proof.
Our trade is again reviving on basis oi
absolute security, because the world is con-
WINGED of our loyalty. Yet that it has re.
Ieived shock is undeniable, and that il
should receive the stimulus which National
Armory can give, would be fitting recog
milton of the value of the sacrifice.
The committee appointed by the Chamber
Of Commerce will no doubt, in their memo
rial to Congress, present all the material as
poets of this subject; we have stated onl.
what appears to be justice in the premises.

Good Joke on Bennett.

- lSt. Louis Cor. Chicago Tribune1
One Of the best practical jokes of the season
was recently played on the New York Herald,
probably through inRdvertence. It turned out
an expensive enc, too, and few papers would
quietly submit to 1t. The New York Tribune
had narrow escape from similarly expensive
accident. Mr.. Knox, the Springfield CORE
spOndent of the Herald, and Mr. Richardson, Of
the N. Y. Tribune, on the 4th inst, inclOsed
their correspondence in ordinary envelopes,
sealed them up and directed them by mail,
under Owen LOvejOy's frank. These packages
they gave to the army courier leaving Spring
field for Upton. 10
By some accident, instead Of putting them in
the Upton Post-ofics, as he should have done,
the courier managed, in some unexplained
way, to get the letters In the telegraph office.
SUpposiDg 1t was all right, the operator broke
ibe seals and telegraphsd both letters. The
Herald letter went through to New York at an
expense Of 1886 62N. The TFibans letter was
telSgraphed as far Gs St. Louis, when the Gov
eTpment censor found something In it of con
trsbBnd character, and stopped II. So the
Ti6aEe .did not have the ill-luok to pay for q
letter not written TO be telsgrhphed, and only
in the telegraph Office by accident. This is q
pretty severe joltsr on the Herald, but Bennett
viii probably call 1t "sntsFPriSe."

BARBARITIEs IN CHINA.-The capture by the
Imperialisls of the city of Nganking, after a
stubborn resistance on the part of the rebels
for many months, was attended by horrible
atrocities.
As far as we can gather from the scanty in.
telligence forwarded, it would appear that the
city was impregnable to the attack of the be-
sieging force, so they resolved to starve the
rebel horde within the walls into submission
This had its usual effect, where the besieged
are determined to resist, and the horrors of
famine reged within the devoted city, until it
merged into caDnibalism of the most frightful
description. After every cstty of ordinary
food was consumed, and the most loathsome
animals devoured, they resorted to eating human
flesh, which was vended at eighty cash per
catty, or about fourpence per pound. 1t is re
ported also that three regiments or separate
bands of the rebels gave themselves up to the
Imperislists as prisoners of war, under the i'm
preston that their lives would be spared, but
they were slaughtered to a man and their bodies
thrown into the river. These were seen in
hundreds floating down the stream by those on
board the steamers Gopernor General and Car
hdye and several sailing vessels on the upper
ports of the Yang. tsze- kiang.

nissenslOns Among the Rebel Lenders.


It can not be disguised that the chief rebel
leaders are quarrelling among themselves at
pretty serious rate. It has been but few
days since their Secretary of War, Walker,
not only resigned his position in the Cabinet,
but also threw up his commission as Briga-
dier General. He threw u2 the latter on the
ground of favoritesm in promotions exer-
cistd to his detriment; and in so doing be
pssailo President Davis numerically.
General Beauregard, the life of the South
etn amy, now tenders his resignation. He
has recently intimated in pretty plain terms
that the "do nothing" policy which keeps
their large army stationary at Manassas, is
attributable to President Davis alone. He
complains bitterly that Davis hold-back
policy has brought virtual defeat on their
army, in preventing what would have been
their certain success, had his own policy Of
crossing the Upper Potomac and attacking
Washington in the rear, been adopted. lie

AN ELoPEMENT.-Rather an extraordinary
elopement took place in this city on Wednes-
day of the week before last. The matter has,
80 far, been kept quiet, in hopes that some
facts might be brought to light which would
tend to brighten some of the dark features of
The transaction. But the lapse of time has
only served to demonstrate more clearly the
hesrtlessness of the villain who has thus sac.
Iifced not only the happiness and comfort of
his wife and children, but his own reputation
and that Of his partner in the fight. The facts
are as follows: Some time ago the man, whose
name is Justin Juch, came to this city, m arried,
and has since been engaged ID teaching music.
He il a foreigner Of noble antecsdents, being
supposed in his own "Faderlsnd" to be de.
fctnded from Duke or Marquis, or some other
what not in the line of nobility.
His family consists Of an Intelligent wife,
two children, his own mother, whom he had
just sent for to come and spend her days with
him, and his Wife's sister. The sister is the
partner ef his fight. She, as well as the fas-
ciDatipg music teacher, seems TO have been q
fckle false one, leaving behind, to the cold
sympathy of an unfeeliDg world, nice young
man, who Iavishsd numerous attentions upon
her, and whose affectionate regard, up to the
time Of her cruel dessrtion, was thought by him
not to be entirely without q responsive chord in
the bosom Of bis inamorata. -s
The husband took with him in his flight all
the money that he could borrow or soraps TO-
gether, including considerable sum which be.
loDged to his mother. The family was left en-
tiIely destitute, and more cruel and heartleSs
dssertiOn does not appear In all the annals Of
