The Rebels have the courage inspired
by rage, and shame, and desperation, and
we know that these are often fearful in
centives; they actuated two Of Shaks-
peare's bravest characters, Macbeth and
Richard III But the loyalists have that
far higher, purer and more durable cour-
age which is inspired by mind con-
scious of its own rectitude, and the great
poet tells us
Thrice ia he armed who hath his quarrel ja,l"
Aud never did people have a more just
cause than the Union cause. No mans
conscience will ever reproach him for
sustaining such a wise, kind, and just
government as ours: for if ever a govern
ment was worthy to be defended even
with its dearest blood, that government is
ours. May it be perpetual.

Editor Union:
1t is a matter Of deep regret that the
First Presbyterian Church Pulpit of this
city,shOuld at the present time be without
the services of a regular preacher. The
Second Presbyterian Church, and in fact
most of the other churches in the city
are filled, and to many it would be a
privilege ifwhat is found in some churches
regular preaehing-could be enjoyed in
all. With a pleasant building, good
music and all TO make the church invit-
ing not forgetting that the Bible in
junction "bc courteous is not forgotten
there, it is, | repeat, matter of regret,
that so many as the spacious and ele-
CANT building will accommodate, should
be deprived of those services which,
doubtless, il would be esteemed a great
privilege to enjoy. An old sermon read,
will do where no other can be had-but
the proper services of the day are the
best, There are many preachers in our
immediate vicinity who could be listen
ed TO with profit, and, doubtless, they
would not be unwilling TO do their part,
and now will the gentlemen into whose
hands the securing ofproper services be-
longs-kindly do theirs?

Dodging the draft, it must be admitted,
has very high classical authority. When
the Grecian States declared war against
Troy, the "sage ULYSSES" fOreseeing the
woes and disasters Of the war, feigned
madness in order TO escape being drafted
into service, but his trick was soon de-
tected, and the old gentleman was forced
to leave Ithaca, his beautiful island, and
PENELOPE, the lovliest and wisest of her
sex. So all men who will play tricks ia
keep out Of the ranks have the consola
ton of knowing that one of IloMER's he
roes set them the example.

Madame Rumor has possession of our
city, and her workshops are busily forg
ing toys TO tickle the ears of the people
on every corner. The old vixen exults
that Uncle Sans mails do not interfere
with her fabrications in the least, so she
manufactures batch in the morning for
one party, and then a large stock for the
other side in the evening. This Nash
Vile is a sort of political purgatory, os-
cilating between the heaven Of Union and
the He'll Of Secession.

In our issue Of Sunday, we stated that
the little village on the Franklin road, near
which one of our foraging trains was
captured the other day, was a secession

point, the people Of the town being loyal

Thoughts for Young Wien.

Costly apparatus and splendid cabinets
have no magical powers to make scho-
lars. In all circumstance, as man is,
under Con, the master of his own fortune
so is he the maker of his own mind
The Creator has constituted the human
intellect that it can grow only by its own
action and by its own action it must
certainly and necessarily grow Every
man must, therefore, in an important
sense, educate himself His books and
teachers are but helps-the work is his.
A man is not educated until he has the
ability TO summon, in case ofemergency,
all his mental power in vigorous exer-
else, to effect his proposed object. 1t is
not the man who has seen the most, or
who has read the most, who can do this ;
such one is in danger of being borne
down like a beast of burden, by an over
loaded mass of other mems thoughts. -
Nor il is a man who can boast merely of
native yigOr and capacity, The greatest of
all the warriors that went to theaSiege OF
Troy.had the pre- eminence not because
nature had given him strength, and lac
carried the largest bow, but self iscip-
line had taught his how TO bend it
