NO EVHIUUUN WHW OVHUEHI NHHIUEUHs
The readers Of our daily Of yesterday morn
ing may have been surprised to find no allu.
sion TO the topic which excited most interest at
the Federal Metropolis-namely, the reported
disagreement between the President and the
Secretary Of War with regard to that portion
Of the Report Of the latter which treats Of the
use to be made Of the slaves Of rebels. Other
journals had information on this subject; we
had none; simply because, while their Wash
ington dispatches respecting II were allowed to
come through in due Course, ours was sup
pressed by the Government censor in the Wash
ipgton telegraph office. Having received it BY
mail, we give it now ss part Of the history OF
the times, simply rtmarkipg that we do not un-
derstand that it was suppressed for lack OF
truth, but rather for excess Of it.

You Kissed Me.

You kissed me my head had dropped low on your
With feeling Of shelter and infinite rest,
While the holy emotions my tongue dared not
speak
Flushed up, Ike fame, from my heart to my
cheek.
Your arms held me fast-oh your arms were so
Heart responded to heart in that passionate hold
Your glanees seemed drawing my soul through
mine eyes,
As the draws the mist from the seas to the
skies
And your lips clung to mine, till ! prayed in my
bliss
They might unclssp from that rapturOus kiss
You kissed me my heart, and my breast, and my
will,
In delrious JOY for the moment stood still
Life had for me then temptations charms
No visits of pleasure outside of your arms;
And were this instant an Angel. possessed
Of the glory and peace that given the blest,
l would fling my white robes unrepiningly down,
And take from my forehead its beautiful crown,
To nestle once more in thathaven ofrest.
With your lips upon mine, and my head on your
breast.
You kissed me,-my soul. in bliss so divine,
Reeled and swooned like foolish man drunken
with wine,
And thought 'twere delicious to die then if death
Wonld come while my lips were still moist with
your breath;
'Twere delicious to die, if my heart might grow
old
While your arms wrapped me close in that passion
ate hold -
Must my life taste but such exquisite delig ght?
Would you care if your breast were my shelter as
then?
And if you were here-,could you kiss me again?

The PRIxTER's EsrATE.-The printers
dollars-where are they? A dollar here, and
a dollar there, scattered over numerous
small towns, all over the country, miles and
miles apart how shall they be gathered to-
gether? The paper maker, the building
owner, the journeyman compositor, the gro
Ger, the tailor, and all assistants to him in
carrying on his business, have their demands,
hardly ever SO small as a single dollar. But
the mites from here and there must be dilli-
gently gathered and patiently boarded, or
the wherewith to discharge the liabilities will
never become sufficiently bulky. We inag-
inc the printer will have to get up an address
to his widely scattered dollars, something
like the following:
" Dollars, halves, quarters, dimes and all
manner of fractions into which We are divi-
ded, collect yourselves and come home Ye
are wanted! Combinations of all sorts of men
that help the printer to become proprietor,
gather such force and demand with such
good reasons, your appearance at this coun-
ter, that nothing short of a sight at you will
appease them Collect yourselves, for valu-
able as you are in the aggregate, singly, you
will never pay the cost of gathering. Come
in here in single file, that the printer may
form you into battalions, and send you forth
again to battle for him, and vindicate mis- fee.

TEE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE AND THE Du1Y
OF THE PEoPLE.-Fellow- citizens. If / may
be permitted to utter word upon such SUBJ
ject. would earnestly counsel forbearance
and patience in reference to those charged
with the administration of our Government
Before criticising their conduct, we should
remember that we may not see all the field of
action, and may not be in condition Justly
to appreciate the difficulties which are to be
overcome. No man can doubt the courage
or loyalty of the President of the United
States, or his determination to suppress this
rebellion. To him, under the Constitution,
the popular voice has committed absolutely
the fate of this Republic. His hands are en-
titled to be strengthened by ours. That
which weakens him weakens yourselves, and
weakens the struggling country which we
are struggling to save. He is at this moment
overwhelmed with mountains of toll and re-
sponsibility such as have rested upon no
public man in our history, and is fully enti-
lied to all the support and consideration
which generous and warm hearted patriot
ism can yield.-Joscph Holt.

A NEW TUNE FROM THE ScoTcH FIDDLE.-
The Immaculate Herald is in great tribula-
ton because the Hon. Joseph Holt is endeav-
oring by his eloquence to keep alive the
Northern enthusiasm, and also by this means
helpo our gallant Union brethren in Kentucky
and Tennessee. Hear this precious Scotch
fiddler:
Let him go to Kentucky, whose fortunes
are balancing in the wind, and where his
accomplishments as stump speaker may be
of some use. If there, as here, the time be
gone by for talking, he can at least shoulder
a musket and do good service in the field in
defence of the Union and of his native State
against the encroaehments of the Southern
traitors
When Joseph Holt was laboring at the oar
to save this Union from shipwreck under the
last days Of an imbecile and thievish admin
istration. the itching palm of the Sawney of
the Herald was stretched forth for the subsi-
dies that corruption in Office had yet to be-
stow, and most zealously did this Scotch Rel
yer work for his Southern masters against
the peace and prosperity of the city that had
fostered the migrate.
Against the man, who, in q the heat and
burden of the day." threw himself into the
breach to battle with treason, this eleventh
hour hypocrite, fearing for the safety of his
congenial spirit in the War Department, now
seeks to raise his hand. If he will only
preserve this attitude and hereafter not seek
to beslaver him when the voice of the people
is heard and answered at Washington, we
will pardon him now the only fear we have
is, that with the consumate impudence and
egotism for which he has become famous, in
the day and power of Joseph Holt. he will
then as industrously seek to convince the
public that @ the Herald was foremost to dis
cover the latent virtues in the man that an
ungrateiul Republic was tardy to recognize"
Cameron and Bennett: Bennett and Cam
eron: Arcades Ambo: They are worthy of
each other. 1t is retributire Justice that con
demns Simon Cameron to accept of the nau
seous doses of the Herald, and there is no
surer evidence to the country that the War
Department needs purifcation than when
James Gordon Bennett vainly seeks to avert
it by cautious attack upon the man to whom
the Nation is now stretching wide its arms
as the only man for the emergency which is
now upon us. Cameron and Bennett Ben

Jafier: "Faugh how it stinks. y Tanity

RAILROAD BETWEEN FoLsoM AND PLACER
vILLE.-In reference to this project, the
Mountain Democrat says:
% We are perfectly safe in predicting that
the railroad between this place and Folsom
will be built speedily. Some of our wealth
lest and most energetic business men, who
know no such word as fail, who have the
means and the ability to accomplish what
they undertake, have taken the enterprise in
hand with the determination to carry it
through promptly and successfully. 1t is
with more than ordinary pleasure, with
something akin to exultation, that we an
nounce that sixty Ave hundred dollars have
already been subscribed, and that the sum
will be vastly increased before the next issue
of our paper. The Subscription Committee,
we learn, meet with far better success than
they anticipated. All seem anxious to con-
tribute something to an enterprise so impor-
tant and necessary, and which promises to
be Of incalculable benefit to Placervillc, and
those who have already subscribed have sig
nifed their readiness to increase their sub
scriptions if necessary.

A Case of Supposition.

A Texan who was returning home after
the battle of Buena Vista, having got separ-
ated from his companions, and had his horse
stolen by the Indians, was obliged to take it
afoot. Walking along one Sunday morning,
looking for some game to make breakfast
on, and not knowing what day in the week
it was, he came 70 small stream, took a
hook and line from bis pocket, and putting a
worm on for bait, be threw it in the stream,
and then sat down en- the bank, wrapped
IN bright thought, thinking of his little
farm 1T home, when preacher who was on
his circuit rode suddenly up and accosted
him:
Halo, stranger, what are you doing
here?'
Fishing for my breakfast replied the
imperturbable Texan, without deisning to
look around at his interrogator.
" Well, do you know you are violating the
Sabbath, = said the preacher, in psalm-sing-
ing tone.
No." said the Texan, turning around
and locking up at the preacher with sur
prise, which the preacher took for conster-
nation, q must be somewhar near settle
ment then"
:. Yes, you are, replied the preacher, and
violating the Lords day, for which you will
have to answer hereafter, on the great day
ofiudgement."
The Texan looked up with a supplicating
air, and the preacher. thinking his mood a
good time to make him a convert, continued: j:
Do you know, my young friend, that you
are sitting on the verge of the broad stream
of iniquity, and that without you leave here
and turn into the home paths of virtue, that
you will be lost? Where do you think you
would go to now," said the preacher, warm
ing with his own eloquence, supposing the
angel Gabriel was to blow his horn ?"
The Texan coolly hauled in his line, and
putting it in his pocket, rose to his feet, and
fronting the preacher, said, ''you ask me
whar think | would 60 ifthe angel Gabriel
should blow his horn"
9 Yes, replied the preacher.
Well, you see, wherever there is an if
the case admits of an argument. Now you
are supposing, amt you? Well now maybe
you know what a beegum is? Maybe you've
hearn tell of big black bar hereabouts, and
maybe you've seen Injins? Well, now, sup
posing you was after begun, and black
bar was after you, and a smart chance of red
skins was after the bar, now what would
you do-keep the tree from the bar, jine the
bar agin the Injins, or CINE the Injina agin
the bar, or grease the slope ?"
