a Wife Repudiates her Traitor Hus-
band

1t will be remembered that Lieut.. Abner
Smead, of the First Artillery, was sent, few
weeks since, by Lieut.. Slemmer, to Washing
ton, to apprise the Government of the abso-
lutte necessity of supplies and reinforcements
at Fort Pickens. Forgetful of all obligations
of honor and duty, Lieut.. Smead took Mont
gomery in his way northward, and having
submitted his dispatches 10 the perusal of
the rebel authorities, proceeded to Washing
ton, whittier the news of his treason having
anticipated him, he vas not shot, as he de-
served to be, but his name was simply struck
from the roll Of the army. The wife and
children of Lieut.. Smead, with the families
of several officers on duty in the South, were
at Fortress Monroe. The Lieutenant hasten
ed from Washington to obtain his family, and
remove them southwark but his movements
were not so rapid but that his crime had been
reported before him. When, therefore, he
presented himself at the fort, he was refused
admission, the officer on duty declining " to
admit a traitor" within Federal post, the
only favor conceded being that he might have
an interview with Mrs. Smead without the
walls That interview the unhappy mis-
creant is not likely to forget. Attended by

What is Patriotism ;?

Not Democracy. Not Republicanism. 1t
hes no sympathy with traitors. Il is care
isss of pecuniary interest. 1t is reckless of
personal safety, 1t ab5ores lukewarmness.
Il pas the spirit Of l776. 1t is the spirit of
1861. If any one doubts it, let him walk eur
streets, enter cur stores and marts of bust
ness. telk with our merchants, brokers, bank
srs. olsrgymen, cartmen, fremen, working
men of every class, and citizens of every rank
ard condition. Let him consider what a
spirit unites the people as one man. It is
Bot anger, nor revenge, nor mere excitement.
Il is the united uprising of great people,
who, with unparalleled forbearance, have
berne insults and injuries unit: patien,e is a
crime.
The quality Of this spirit is especially in
dicatsd by she fact that, while these insults
aud injuries where in sense personal to the
North. they could move nothing but pity
Ba* when emboldened by impunity, inpu-
dent and sacrilegious hands are laid upon the
sacred fag of our Union. and the principles
sealed by eur fathers blood are openly defed
and trampled under foot-a patriotism is
aroused from which the braVest of the trai
torswil hide himself before it is appeased.
