THoGE POOR DEAR HEN,

In what, is not to them their "loved lit
tie isle," just off the good city Of Boston,
are two men than whom not another pair
are more identified with the great infamies
Of the rebellion. They were taken in the
very act.' For years they have been work
ing in this conspiracy. They represent a
system and principles the antipodes Of Bos-
ton. They have no sympathy with aught
that pertains to the prosperity and peace Of
the capital Of New England. 11assachu-
sets men have have shed their blood at
Bull Run, and Balls Bluff, through the trea
son Of these men. Massachusetts, homes
to-day are mourning their first born sons
slain in battle, or by thousands sojouruing
in winter camps, and all this because Of
the traitorous conspiracy in which thesc
labored-
Now there are common decencies to be
observed in all these cases. Because the trea,
son was blow aimed at the hearts and
homes Of Boston: because our Southern
brethren would do and are doing their besI

CONFEDERATE CURRENGE.

The political economists, who, following
fIe lead of the national confdence-man,
Robert J. Walker: Mr.. Polks Secretary Of
the Treasury, are predicting that the rebel
Confederacy will be dissolved before
Spring, by the nnpossihility Of raising
money with which to carry On the WAT,
are hiding their unHillingness to trust the
power Of our arms, behind a prophecy that
has no warrant in the history Of the past.
And if they lull the country into sense
OF security by pretending to tell when
peace will be restored without striking a
blow, they VIII do an injury which years
of blood and tiol will not repair. The
South is rich in resources, which are Who'll

rN Ono Ccphas Beaun,ais, a native Of Mar
Unique, who has, through a course Of years,
committed gigantic fosgcsies in the United
States, is now imprisoned in Philadelphia for
his crimes. His operations have extended
through a long series Of years, and the amount
he has realized from lis adroit rascality is cs-
tirnatcd at two hundred thousand dollars.
Among other extensive operations in the
West il Is stated that in 1855 or thcreabout6,
he succeeded in duping st, Louis and Chicago
firms to the amount Of e25 600, Or 800 600, by
forged bills. To r. z. Swift g. Brothers, OF
this city, he sold forged draft for 81 500
sterling, receiving in return bills Of exchange
OF the Bank Of England. Being unknown in
Chicago, the firm employed a detective Officer
to follow Bcaumais. His suspicious conduct
and his sudden fight to Cannda aggravated
their fears, and finally he was ovcrtakcn ut al

Aue u D. SANITARY commission
The Sanitary Commissions Report Of their
operations embrace Information Of great and
permanent value, though necessarily too
yo1uminous. ~
The Commission has furnished supplies to
116 rcgimcntal and 10 general hospitals in
Wasllingto and vicinity. Thousands ofarticlcs
Of all sorts, worth $500, have been distributed
daily on an average, to the Potomac army.
The Whole value Of distribution there in No
ve1nber was ST, ,ooo, and in the whole army
$4,000.
In more than threc-quarters Of the regiments
natiyc Americans arc in the majority. The
Germans are in the majority in only six. The
Irish in only five out OF hundred. Nearly
two-thirds Of the army arc Americans. Nine
tcnths are citizens. The average age Of pri.
Yates is over "a years. Three.f .fourtls are sin
gle men.
Five men in hundred are without blankets,
most probably having worn theirs out. A
quarter Of the blankets are Of poor quality.
The men are generally well provided If not,
it is the consequence Of their own carelessncss,
or the gross negligence Of officers. The men
are almost universally satisfied with their ra-
tions, both in quality and quantity
Captains now uniformly draw for rations,
and generally in proper form. The cooking

He said
In presenting this bill to the consideration
OF the Senate / desire to accompany it with
some remarks explanatory Of its character and
the principles On which it il based As its
title imports, it is q bill for condscating the
property and giving freedom to the slaTes OF

The responsibility, therefore, Of determining
when and in what districts Of the United
States the military power may be used to sup
press rebellion is deyolvcd By Congress on
the Executive, and when the military power
is called into requisition, the Judicial author
ity can no more interfere with its action than
can the military with the Judicial tribunals in
time Of peace Under certain circumstances,
either may be called to the aid of the other.
The courts sometimes make use Of the mill

and the military Tould doubtless have like

To MY Babe In Heaven.
Thou hast gone from thy mothers heart, dear
babe;
Gone to the home of the blest,
From this weary world of sorrow and care,
To thy Savior's bosom for rest.
Oh why didst thou plume thy little wings,
And soar so very high;
Your little eyes scarce opened here,
TO gaze on the bright blue sky.
What didst thou see, dear little one?
As thou launched on LIES ocean wide.
storm gathering on thy sea of life,
That made thee flee the tide?
Was thy little bark too tiny and frail
To battle with what thou seem?
Il so, Wen not call thy spirit free
To weary such storms again.
Though thy little empty crib stands by
Thy drawer of little clothes,
And the aching heart thou hast left behind,
There is no one but mother knows
My Father above, but for the thought,
That to thee and my babe may come,
What would 1 do in this dreary world
But forever weep and mourn q?
Oh? bless Thee for Thy heavenly love,
To Thy suffering children given;
OH bless thee for Thy bright home above,
High, high in the realms of Heaven.
And ere thy little body of clay,
To its cold mother Earth be given,
May the prayer of thy sorrowing child be heard
Throughout the courts of Heaven.
May the white-robed spirit of my angel babe,
Ere its flight to bliss be taken,
Hover near its earthly f4ther here,
Till it shall his soul for good awaken.
May its heavenly presence perch on his heart,
And WOO him to happier ways flight,
May the thought of his dear little babe and its
Bear the news thy father is saved.
Then smiling, God, will give you my babe,
And its happy spirit may soar.
And smiling, I'll watch it wing its way
To happiness forever more.
Dear father and mother and brothers and sister,
Will meet it on yonder shore;
An unbroken band in the happy land,
Whsre parting will be more.
