THE VIEWS OF EDWARD BATES.

The Wheeling (Va.) Intelligencer
publishes two letters from Attorney
General Bates to John NJ. Bolts, on
the subject of secession. The first is
keen and conclusive analysis of the
famous "peace" letter from Mr. Bolts,
published month or two ago. The
second is more general, and contains
the following striking observations
"But it seems, now that we differ
so widely in opinion upon matters of
fact, that it is impossible for us to
reason upon the same line of argu-
ment. You think that the Union is al
ready dissolved and the nation de-
stroyed On the contrary, l believe
no such thing. You believe that
peaceful dissolution of the Union, in
the manner and by the means already
employed, is possible. believe it i'm
possible. ! believe that the insane
effort at National destruction, per-
sisted in, will involve a war more
terrible than any the world has wit
messed since the thirty years war ia
Germany. You think that great
nation like this can consent 10 die, ard
may hope TO die an easy death. think
that nations, like individuals, are un-
der Gods great law of self-defensc,
and when pressed down by superior
force, will die in convulsive agonies.
You seem 10 hiak that Virginia can go
out Of the Union and still preserve
her integral statehood. l think that
when she dismembers the nation she
will herself be dismcmbered.
But | will not continue the con-
trast. My heart is sorrowful when l
contemplate the present degradation
Of Virginia. How are the mighty
fallen y With the loss of her power
she has lost all prestige also, and can
no longer lead the people and direct
the counsels Of other States. She re-
members her patriots and sagcs Of for
mer times, only to boast of them-not
to initiate their talents and virtues,
but (by implicit faith) to impute to
the present generation the posthumous
reputation of the glorious dead. For
merly she proudly marched in the van
of ell the States; now she crecps in
the rear Of South Carolina, and con-
sents to be detailed as a picket guard
to man an outpost of tho Cotton
States.
"Poor old Virginia In my heart I
pity her. Already they boast in the
South that they have transferred the
seat of war from their homes to yours.
And soon their devouring legions will
be upon you to cat up your sub
stance and help to do your voting at
the disunion election. Now mark my
prophecy : Unless Virginia, by rap
id revolution, redeem herself from the
gulf that lies open before her, she will
be degraded, impoverished ard dis
membercd. For her, l hope almost
against hope. And for you, | remain,
as heretofore, your friend,
EDWARD BATES"

MANS DUTY TO WOMAN.
ny REV. FREDERICK d. HUNTINGTON

BY REV. FREDERICK ID. HUNTINGTON.
Let him learn to be grateful to
woman for this undoubted achieve
ment of her sex, that it is she,-shc,
far more often than he, and she too
often in spite of him, who has kept
Christcndom from lapsing back into
barbarism-kept mercy and truth
from being utterly overcome by those
two greedy monsters, money and
war, Let him be grateful for this,
that almost every great soul that has
led forward or lifted up the race has
been furnished for each noble deed,
and inspired with each patriotic and
holy aspiration by the untiring forti-
tudc Of. some Spartan, or more than
Spart an,--somc Christian mother.
Moses, the dclivcrer of his people,
drawn out Of the Nile by the Kings
daughter, some one has hintcd, is only
a symbol of the way that woman's
instincts always outwit the tyrannical
diplomacy of man. Let him cheerful
~ remember, though the sinewy sex
achieve enterprises on public theatres,
it is the nerve and sensibility of the
other that arm the mind and infame
the soul in secret. Z" A man discover
cd America, but q woman equipped
the voyage" So everywhere man
executes the performance, but woman
trains the man. Every cllectual per-
son, leaving his mark on the world,
is but another Columbus, for whose
furnishing some Isabella in the form
of his mother, lays down her jewclry,
her vanities her comfort.
Above all, let not man practice on
woman the perpetual and shameless
falsehood of pretending admiration and
acting contempt. Let them not cx-
haust their kindness in adorning her
person, and ask, in return, the humili-
alton of her soul. Let them not as
sent to every high opinion, as if she
were not strong enough to maintain
it against opposition nor yet manu-
facturc for her, and force it upon her
lips by dictation. Let them not cru
city her emotions, not ridiculc her
fraiIty, nor crush her individuality,
nor insult her dependence, nor play
mean .iests upon her honor in convival
companies, nor handy unclcan doubts
of her, as a wrctched substitute for
wit nor whisper vulgar suspicious
of her purity, which, as compared with
their own, is like the immaculate
whitencss of angels. Let them multi
ply her social advantages, enhance
her dignity, minister TO her intclli-
gcnce, and by manly gentleness, be
the champions of her genius, the
friends of her fortunes, and the equals,
if they can, of her heart.

A SONG OF PRAISE.

BIZ MISS y. J. COLE.
My heart would sing a rapturOus song
To Thee. thou guardian of our way
Thy mercy doth our life prolon---
Thou ant our shield and hope alway
To Thee we come on thy glad day.
Our yCarning hearts with glory filed,
We revcl in thy heavenly ray,
And every mumuring thought is still
Our Savior, thy dear form we see,
Bleeding to save u rebel world:
Yes, thou hast died upon the tree,
And darkness DER our earth was hurled
When we review thy wondrous grace,
Thy dying love to sinful worms
Oh, gladly would We see thy face,
Aud dwell upon thy radiant charms.
Our hearts o'crflow, dear Savior come,
Take up with us thy blcst abode,
Thus may we joyful hasten home,
To view an ever smiling God.
Keep us from sore temptations, Lord
Aid MS as in thy sight to live
Teach us to love thy holy word,
And every sinful thought forgive.
