troupe does the mel odrama, and are, the public
think, much more natural enjoyable and
human.
With characteristics so diverse, these corps
never agree in their opinions ~ men and things;
and here again the public side W. tn Christy, and
think him much more logical and correct in bis
views. Christy would never have mr. de such
mistake as that about Fremont's proclamation.
So, in Gerrit Smiths recent letter to President
Lincoln--which he prints as if doubling

Smith nsks the President to accept OF "blaek
regiments" to meet the Black Horsemen Of
the rebels, and represents the negroes as eager
for the fray. Christy understands black nature
much better, and gives us laments, not en-
cOuragements to enlist

But then, as far as other people are con-
cerned, Christy's negroes are as patriotic ~
Smiths, and show their patriotism in the same
way-by great deal Of advice and very little
example. Only they are more hopeful and
confident, for Smith says this war will last

taking in his honest quarter ut the door, and
Smith by collections at all sorts Of meetings and
by the sale Of papers, novels and pamphlets.
This war, however, will settle Smiths no

new songs, dances and burlesques. We hardly
know what will become of Smith His occaps-
