Friday, Feb. 10th.
On Tuesday last, our regiment was re-
viewed by Gen. Hunter and staff. We
have resumed daily battalion drills
which have been discontinued for nearly
two months. We like our new quarters
very much. If any of our friends should
call in to sec us they would probably
think of us as did the honest country
man IN the State Of New York, of his
wealthy neighbor who had an establish
ment in the city. Having visited him
in his palatial residence in the metropo-
lis, furnished luxuriously, with numerous
servants in waiting, he remarked to his
rustic neighbors on his return, that I" he
did not see what old Tad was doing, I'M
less it was keeping Niger boarding
house." We have several contrabands
whom we feed with our extra rations,
and permit to sleep in our quarters. One
Of them, little Jack has become an in
stitution" in the company. For our en-
tertainment, we have h" Original Negro
Melodists," who sing Dixie a Ia mode
EtAiopieane, with all imaginable addi
tons and variations, denouncing jeff
Davis and the sccesh, and clarifying the
union boys, with accomplishments of
comicalty and pahtomine; and many an
evening hour they help us to while away
with the lively music of the violin, and
the fantastic movements of the hoe-down
and juba.
The weather here is disagreeabe, and
for the most part cold. It has been said
of the climate of Kansas that one ought
never to 90 out without shawl, two
overcoats an umbrella, and fan. The
first mentioned articles would not come
amiss, but Old Boreas has done the fam
ming gratis since we came here. The ice
IN The river is still solid, affording an eX-
cellcnt bridge, and great conveniences
for transporting troops, military stores,
and contrabands. CoMsToCK.

The Monroe Doctrine.

Since tho combined invasion by Eng
land, France, and Spain against Mexico,
much has been said about the "Monroe
Doctrine. We publish the following
from President Monroos annual message
to Congress, Dec I'd, 1923, in which
this principle is set forth "In the wars
of the European powers, in matter rela
ting to themselves, VIC have never taken
my part, nor does it comport with our
policy to do so. 1t is only when our
rights are invaded or seriously menaeed,
that we resent injuries or make plepara-
tons for our defense. With the move
ments in this hemisphere, we are of
necessity moro Immediately connected,
and by causes which must be obvious to
all enlightened and impartial observers.
The political system of the Allied Pow
ers is essentially different in this respect
from that of America. This difference
proceeds from that which exists in their
respective governments. And to the de-
Tense of our own, which was achieved by
the loss of so much blood and treasure,
and matured by the wisdom Of our most
enlightened citizens, and under which we
have enjoyed unexampled felicity, this
whole nation is devoted. We owe it
therefore to candor, and to the amicable
relations existing between the United
States and those powers, TO declare, that
we should consider any attempt on their
part to extend their system TO any por-
ton Of this hemisphere, as dangerous to
our peace ahd safety. With the existing
colonies and dependencies of any Euro
pean power, we have not interfered and
shall not interfere. But with the govern
mentS which have declared their indie
pendence and maintained it, and whose
independence we have. On great consid-
Grafton, and on just principles acknow-
lodged, we could not view any interposi
ton for the purpose of expressing them,
or controlling in any other manner, their
destiny by an European power, in any
other light than IS the manifest action of
an unfriendly disposition towards the
United States"

A Parallel.

If, but little more than two wears ago
when " old John Brown" lay wounded
and foile' in Southern prison, with his
fantastical and impracticable plans of a
servile instruction, and universal free
dom for the slaves, exploded by the stern
logic Of facts-if at that time some SAGE
had drawn parallel between the doom.
ed fanatic aud those who were hunting
him down, and had told the Wises, the
WigfalIs, and the Floyds of that day
that, in all essential particulars, except
sincerity of purpose, their own public
career would resemble that of the grim
old man--they would have thought the
prophet as crazy as even John Brown
himself. Yet the parallel has been
measurably fulfilled, and the Southern
conspirators stand convicted before the
world, selfdeluded and mischevous men.
John Brown paid the penalty Of his
crime and his folly upoa the gallows;
while oven his Implying execu!ioners
conceded that he died like true hero.
Will MS dread dav of reckoning come
for the leaders in this foul conspiracy?
and will they initiate the unyielding
courage of old John Brown in their ex-
tremitys
The parallel is not yet quite complete;
we hope for its fulfilment so far as justice
is concerned; but we scarcely expect it
where real manliness is the test.-S.

Jeff. Dayis' inaugural.

We give below some extracts from jeff.
Davis Inaugural -
A million of men, it is estimated, are
now standing in hostile array, and wa
cling war along q frontier of thousands
Of miles. Battles have been fought,
s.eges have been conducted, and although
the contest is not ended, and the tide for
the moment is against us, the final result
in our favor is not doubtful
The period is near at hand when our
foes must sink under the immense load
of debt which they have incurred, debt
which in their effort to subjugate US has
already attained such fearful dimensions
as will subject them to burdens which
must continae to Cypress them for gener-
atious to come.
We too, have had our trials and DIFF
fcultes. That we are to escape them in
future is not to be hoped. 1t was to be
expected when we entered upon this war
that it wodld expose our people to sacrl-
flee and cost them much, both in money
AMI blood. Bat we knew the value of
the object for which we struggle, and I'M
dcrstood the nature Of the war in which
we were engaged. Nothing can be so
bad as failure, and any sacrifice would be
cheap as the price Of success in such q
contest.
He closes his address rs follows
After a series of successes and victor
les, which crowned our arms with glory,
we have recently met with serious disas-
ters. But in the heart of people re-
solved to be free, these disasters tend but
to stimulate to increased resistance.
To show ourselves worthy Of the in
heritance bequoathed to us by the patriots
of the revolution, we must emulate that
heroic devotion which made reverse to
them but the crucible in which their pat
riotism was refined. With confidence in
the wisdom and virtue Of those who will
share with me the responsibility and aid
me in the conduct of public affairs SO
curely relying on the patriotism and cour-
age of the people of which the present
war has furnished so many examples, |
deeply feel the weight of the response
bilities now, with unaffected difidence,
am about to assume; and, fully realizing
the inadequacy of human power to guide
and to sustain, my hope is reverently
| fixed on Him whose favor is ever vouch-
safed to the cause which is just With
humble gratitude and alteration, acknowl-
edging the Providence which has SO visi-
bly, protected the Confederacy during its
brief but eventful career, to Thee, Oh
God, tru.tingy commit myself, and
prayerfully invoke Thy blessing on my
country and its cause.
