THE WoRLD's JUDGMENT.-The Paris Jour-
nal des Dsbats of May 10th, gave utterance
to the Judgment of Christendom on the rebel
lion in this country, in long article, ofwhich
the substance is in these words:
"In population, wealth, education and prac-
teal talent, the North, the group free States,
has greatly the advantage. Inc North, too,
has on its side, in the conflict that has begun,
auxiliaries that ere extremely powerful in a
struggle between civilized nations, namely
principles. Might and right are both on the
side of the North"
Not otherwise will be the verdict of unanl-
nous Christendom, and surely not otherwise
will history pronounce.

Many hearts have been made sad by
the melancholy death of Col, E. E. Ellsworth,
but there is one heart that is made more than
sad The New York World tells us that Col
Ellsworth has been engaged for the last two
years to Miss Carrie Spafford, a young lady of
seventeen, the daughter of CharlesF. Spafford,
a wealthy citizen of Rockford, ILL.,, NOW of
Chicago Miss Spafford was recentlya stu
dent in the Carroll Institute, Brooklyn. The
marriage would probably have taken place ere
this, but for the breaking out of the war.

BY such course all tho depreciated currency

rY@The Tallahassee Sentinel has just learn
ed how Mr.. Lincoln lives. 1t says:
Lincoln keeps five men in his room to guard
him by night, and Mrs Lincoln two to guard
her Old Abe, in order to keep his spirits and
courage up, ''pours the spirits down." and is
half drunk all the time. For fear Of being
poisoned, Mrs. Lincoln has turned cook, and
prepares all the food they eat Some minis
ters of the Gospel recently called to see him tc
entreat him to desst from his mad policy Of
coercion, when the indignant Abe cursed them
away swearing that the Southerners should
wade knee deep in blood, before entering
Washington city.
The reason for the general impression at the
South that Mr.. Lincoln is habitually intern
perate is found in the miserable sheet, Har
pers Weekly, which, on the I'd of March, rep
resented the President elect in a state of maud
lin drunkenness hair and clothes disordered
glass in hand, and surrounded by group Of
loafers, grinning and drinking. There is moi
the semblance of truth as a palliation for this
miserable lie; wherever known, Mr.. Lincoln
is regarded as the most temperate and abstem
ious-of men, and the brothers Harper were
fully aware of this. Their paper should bt
kicked out of every decent community.
