Words of BarClay,

CLEMENT G.. BARCLAY, of Pennsylvania,
who has Just returned to Washington from
the sick and wounded in the column of
Genera! McCellan; in speaking of the rebe Is
before a Relief Association, a few evenings
since, said:
II tell you, my friends, when I get near
one of those deluded men, my heart melts
within me, and l forget the wrong he has
done my country; and l know that every
word of kindness and every act CT charity
to them, is seed sown in a willing soil. and
must bring forth precious fruit"
This course on the part of our people
among the SICK and wounded rebel prisoners
will do far more to bring them back to
LOYALTY and devotion to the Union, than the
vindictiye malignity that has been mani
tested toward them here in Columbus, by
the Radicals, both great and small, male
and female. Ohio Statesmen,

Owen Lovejoy's Speech in New York.
This black republican made speech on
the evening of June II. before a company
of his class at Cooper Institute, New York
VIM. Bryant in the Chair In the course Of
his remarks he is reported to have said:
"If the President does not move as rapidly
as you desire, if he is over scrupulous of
forms. it is some compensation to know that
the Commando Chief of more than half
a million Of soldiers, and who is frequently
under the necessity of acting with out au
tbority of law, will take no undue advantage
Of the power. for the time, almost unlimited,
that is placed in his hands. It's something.
yea, much, to know that the liberties of the
people and the supremacy of the law, though
from the temporary urgency to some slight
extent infriDged upon, will be restored un-
impaired. Let US. then, give .he President
cordial, loyal and sympathizing support.
Never has President, not even Washing
ton, been beset with so many trials and diff
cultles as environ him. The wonder is not
that he should make mistakes, but that h G
should make so few. I no more doubt his
anti-slavery integrity, his ultimate anti
slavery action, than do nv own. In the
words which Webster put in to the mouth of
the elder Adams, L see clearly through this
days business The rebellion will be su, -
pressed. stand awe-struck and overpower
ed IL the awful presence of the grand and
sublime uprising of the people of this nation.
1t Is the miracle of the martial history of
the world. The flag of the Union floats
over NOR loyal mor-clad men than the
flag of any one nationality ever hoated over
before. England, when the honor of her
national prowess was at stake, in the Crimean
war, could hardly muster twenty five thou
sand men. The recent call of the Govern
ment, revealing the unconscious reserved
power OF the people, demonstrated that u
million of men would respond to the call Of
the Executive. The rebellion will be sup
pressed and American slavery will be swept
away, and the theory of our Government be
a practical and glorious reality. see the
future and regenerated republic reposing
queen among the nations Of the earth. its
flag, after this baptism of blood, having be-
come the symbol of universal and impartial
freedom"

PREPARE FOR TAxATIoN.-In few days
the tax bill will be passed, aud the whole
army of tax gatherers will shortly be ap
pointed, ready to pass round and gather up
a heavy toll from the public. Now is the
time to prepare for those demands upon us.
Every body must now learn to be econom-
ical. Those who wear out suit of clothes
in six months must make the same last
them a year; those who have been in the
habit Of eating hot beefsteaks for breakfast
must learn to put up with a cold scrap of
mutton; those who have INDUCED in vino
and water at dinner must put up henceforth
with the pure element. All this is necessary
in order to put down rebellion originated
by the aboiitionists, aided by the English
aristocracy, and carried into the field by the
wicked secessionists.-N. Y. Herald.

that of his neighbor has been destroyed -
He states that, engaged as he is, by pressing
public duties, he ha given no attention to
his private affairs and supposed that his
cotton had been destroyed by the military
thorties, as their instructions were per-
emptory to burn all which was in danger Of
capture by the enemy. The M Mississippian

DANCING In DR.. Browns racy and valu-
able book on Health he thus refers to the
"sin" Of dancing:
"Dancing is just the music Of the feet, the
glad ness of the young legs, and is we'll call
ed the poetry of motion. l remember a sto-
ry of a good old Antiburgher minister. 1t
was in the days when dancing was held to
be a great sin, and to be dealt with by the
session. Jessie, comely, and good. and
blthe young woman, a great favorite of the
m ter's, had been guilty of dancing at a
friends wedding. She was summoned be-
fore the session to be dealt with-the grim
old fellows sternly concentrating their eyes
upon her, as she stood trembling in her
striped short gown, and her pretty bare feet.
The doctor, who was one of divinity. and a
deep thinker, greatly pitying her and myself
said
Jessie, my woman, were ye dancins?'
Yes, sobbed jessie
'Ye maun cen promise never to dance
again. Jessie.'
4 wull sir; wull PROMISE with cour-
tesy.
Now, what were We thinking o., Jessie,
when We were dancing?'
Tell us truly said an old elder, who had
been preacher in youth.
"Nae ill.," sobbed out the dear little wo-
man.
Then, Jessie, my woman, aye dance,
cried the delighted doctor.
And so say l, to the extent that so long
as our young girls think mae ill., they may
dance their own and their feet's fills; and so
on with all the round of tho sunshine and
flowers God had thrown upon and along the
path Of his children
