A bill has been introduced into the up.
Per house Of the Nebraska Legislature,
entitled "An act for the suppression of

A Craven Cry.

"7hc secesh are upon as! Eo, niggsrs,
TO the rescue" Can it be believed that
there are American fleemen dastardly
enough to raise a cry like that? 1t is
bawled at every point of the compass. and
comes down to us from the sacred wall of
the Capitol. They demand emancipation
as a military necessity. In effect, we are
told that the twenty millions Of the North
are no match for the six millions of the
South; that we are doomed to defeat, un =
less We get the help Of the black man.
They do not like to have it put just in that
style, but it amounts to that. Short of
that their " military necessity" would be a
misnomer, and their claim to abolitionize
under the war power the baldest pretext
We say tn at vler insult was never dealt
upon the Northern name. The worst
libel ever uttered by Southern slave .driy-
ers does not equal it. If it be true that,
with such numerical odds in our favor,
and with the noblest cause that ever ap.
pealed to man, we must brave the succor
Of slaves if we must look to the poor,
blind, creeping African TO help vindicate
our bi:thright and stay US up in our ex.
tremity, then let it be recorded that we
are "mudsill,' indeed. There is no word
Of scorn too low for US. We caLnot court
the alliance Of slaves, without proving
that we are ourselves fit to be slaves. 1t
is our heritage that is assaled, not theirs
aud if cur own good right arms, with all
the advantage they have, cannot protect
it, we may as well at once advertise our
degeneracy TO the world, and prepare to
take our place as underl;ngs. Emanci pa
tion as a military neccssjiy' 4 MILITARY
NECESSITY! If emancipation must come,
for the honor of our fathers, for our own
independence, for :he prospects of our
children, for the good name Of free gov
ernment and for the dignity Of the white
race. let it take any shape but that IN.

Some people think i, is "bis thing"
to be an editor. Well perhaps it is-hut
we don't see it. \ fellow dead headed
into circuses and concerts, and rides on
some of the railroads free, bat that one
fact destroys nearly all Of the pleasure.-
When we had to scrimp fox week to set
a dollar to buy u seat at the opera the de.
light experienced was proportion TO the
sacrifice the moneY cost us When you
can ride on the railroad for nothing you
don't care Il snap about going at all and
so on. An editor occasionally gets pres
ents but they are nine times ont OF ten
articles that are Of no sort OF use to him
or TO any one else. In his paper he may
say forty good things unaPpIauded, bat if
happens through some "a 'elassness or mis-.
:ane to get oil an obnoxious paragraph he
catches - from the entire community.
If be omits anything he is lazy. If he
speaks Of things o. they ere, people are
mad. If he CLOSES over-smooths down
tho rough point he is bribed. If he calls
things their names, be is unit for the po-
shion OF editor. If he does not furnish
his readers with jokes, he is mullet. If
he does he is a rat,lohead, wanting sta.
blIity. If he condemns wrong he is
good fellow, but lacks discretion. If ho
let's wrongs and injuries go unmentoned
he is coward. II he upholds public
man he does it TO crafty spite--is tool
Of clique, or belongs to the outs If
he INDUCES in personalities he is black
guard, if he does not, his paper is dull
and insipid. They put Job through
pretty hard course Of sprouts. according
to Holy Writ, but there is no record Of
his being obliged ID serve as editor Of a
paper. That would have been more than
even his patience could have withstood.-
He probably in such a case would have
taken the advice of his lriends--cursed
and died.

THE NIGHTS,
BY BARRY CORNWALL.

o, the Summer Night
Has smile Of light,
And she sits on a sapphire throne;
Whilst the sweet Winds load her
ii With garlands of odor,
From the bud to the rose 0 er blown.
But the Autumn Night ""'
Has piercing sight,
And step both strong and free;
And voice for wonder,
Like the wrath of the Thunder,
When he shouts to the stormy sea!
And the Winter Night
Is all cold and white,
And she singeth a song Of pain
Till the wild bee hummeth,
And the warm Spring cometh,
When she dies in dream of rain
o, the NIGHT, the Night!
lis lovely sight,
Whatever the cline or time;
For sorrow then soareth;
And the lover oatpoureth
His soul in a s,ar-bright rhyme.
Tt bringeth sleep
To the forest doen,
Tie forest bird to its nests;
To Care bright hours,
And dreams Of flowers,
And that balm to the weary-Rest!

senator FiUle On the Mason-Siidcll
Case.

IN the L. s. Senate, on the 2Glh ult,
Senator Hale, Of n. II offered resolu
tion that the President be requested, ifnot
incompatible with the public interest, to
transmit copies Of all dispatches which
have passed between this country and
Great Britain relative to the seizure Of
Mason aud SIide!l. Said dispatches to
be communicated in either open or execu-
tive session, es may Le deemed proper.
Mr, Sumner objected.
Mr.. Hale said he had understood from
the public press, and those who held more
intimate relations to the administration
than himself, though the absence Of the
intimacy was not his fault, as he was will.
ing to be as confidential as ANYBODY, that
for three or four days past the Cabinet has
had under consideration a proposition
frought with more evil to the country than
anything that had yet marked its history
and that was the surrender Of Mason and
Slidell to Great Britain.
By doing this we would yield all we had
gained in the war Of the Revolution anl
be humiIiated to second rate power. No
man would 20 further than himself for
peace, but he would not submit to National
disgrace and dishonor to obtain such q
peace. He cou,d favor the arbitration Of
another power, but If demand has been
made by Great Britain for the surrender
Of Mason and S.idell, war should be de,
clared against her instantly. He would
make all honorable concessions for peace
but Il peace involving such surrender
would be infinitely worse than war.
His friend from Indiana (Lane) had re
marked this morning that his State had
now 10000 men in the field and would
double that number to maintain the ma
tional honor If this Senate should 60
home after such surrender and humilia-
ton, it would be subjected TO the scorn
and indignation Of the country. He re =.
earded the arro CANT demand Of England

to humlialc us first and fight US after

laged and burned. Let our national EOnor
be maintained
Francis !, said after the battle of Paya
that all was lost but honor. He (Hale)
woald pray that this Administration might
not sacrifice our national honor-thous
ands would yet come to the field to defend
it. If this surrender was made the Ad-
min;s,ration would meet with such a fire
in the rear that it would be hurled from
power.
If we had war with England, it wo'd
be for the same cause that had sent one
king to the block and another homeless
and houseless over the world, and one that
would appeal to men wherever the Eng
lish language was spoken. He believed
too, that if Napoleon had one desire more
than another, 1t was to wipe out the stains
upon the French arms at Waterloo.
All over Canada there were thousands
Of lrshmen who would rush to arms to
sustain such cause as ours. Our prn-
ciples were our great strength, and it war
would come, we would say let it come, and
thank God that We are instruments in his
bands 10 work out his own cause.

WAsHINGToE, June let is known to
the Government that the steamer Circas-
sian was not only bound for Charleston, but
the facts show that Notwithstanding the
great draught Of water, she could easily
have entered New Orleans, Pensacola, Mo-
bile, Savannah, Charleston or Wilmington.
The vessel and cargo are valued at 81, AGO.
600. After paying all expenses of the prize
court, one. half the remainder goes TO the
Government and the other moity to the
eaptors. Congress has inquired why the
prize courts of Philadelphis and New York
do not take action towards condemning
some of the rebe. captured vessels. The re-
suits of the inqsiry may produce facts of
startling character.
Nearly 1900 seamen for the naval service
are wanted Immediately.

NEW YORK, June 20 The Herald's dis
patch says Intelligent officers who have ex-
amined the White House on the Pamunky
river, are astonished at the noise made in
Congress about its occupation as a hospi-
tai. They say it can be made to accommo-
date only eighteen or twenty patients, and
is regarded as a very small pretext for an
assault on Mcclellan, who, through the
Vaccinations of those who are bowling at
him, has been left with only part of the
army of the Potomac to sustain the brunt
of the war in front of Richmond.
The editorial correspondence of the Times
says Mcclellan has been laboring under in
disposition more or less severe, for several
days. he is much better now, however,
and is interchangeable in bis attention to the
details of his official duties, and spends a
large part of the day in the saddle. He has
a most laborious and effective staff. The
whole business of the army is in the most
compact and COM plete order.
