The southern aegis, and Harford County intelligencer. (Bel Air, Md.) 1862-1864, 1862-12-13
BEL AIR. MD. SATURDAY MORNING,

"what that had to do with foreign affairs,
but" ses he, an here he looked very
KNOWN, "perhaps Mr.. Seward kin tell
how Seemore cum to be elected p At
this Seward brushed up an asked him
"what he meant?" oval" ses he, 81
mean jest this, that if you and Weed had
not thrown cold water on Wadsworth,
Seemore would never have been elected"
"That's false," ses Seward, an Chase
jumped up as if he was goin to do sum-
thin, but the Kernel at once interfered
an sed that he didn't send for 'em to quar-
rel about the elccshins, which were bad
enough, Lord knows, but he wanted to
know how the Turin affairs stood. Sew
ard sed, "that comm to the pint, Turin
affairs never looked better. We were at
peace with all the world, and he didn't
doubt but with the aid of his friend Weed,
an liberal use of secret service money,
he would be able to keep the peace. He
sed it looked now as if, in sixty days, that
all idee Of Turin intervenshin for the reb-
lis Would be given up, an then the rebel
yum would be smashed at once"
Then the Kernel asked Mr.. Chase how
the fuancies stood. Wal, Chase sed that
everything was workin splendid that on
ly the other day he got loan in Wall
street above par; that everything was ri
sin in price, and that the people was
tickled to death with the good ookiD
notes he got out; that they liked 'em so
well, an they were so much handler than
gold an silver, that they didn't use eny-
thing else lately. He sed he thought he
was goin to be set down as the greatest
financics since the days of Liecurgus, who
made money out of iron, an thus made oil
the people rich at once. He sed that he
would make 'em all rich, eff paper didn't
get too high, an there was some danger
of it, as the posky rebils had all the cotton
to make it of. Jest get that, an he would
snap his fingers at the hull world.
Then Stantin got up. He scd every
thing was now progressin finely sence the
Ralerode superintendent had been dis
charged. He didn't doubt but Burnside
would be in Richmond by the time Con-
gress met, an he though t it was so sure,
that he advised Linkin to put it in his
Message at once. He sed his idee was,
as soon as Richmond was taken, to issoo a
proclamashln appointing day of thanks
giv'n an prayer for our victory over the
rebils. He sed, eff his plans had been fol.
lowed, we would have been in the rebil
Capital long ago, but it was all rite now,
an no one need have'eny fears.
Then grandfather Welles spoke. He
sed Mr.. Stantin seemed to think that the
army was goin to do all, but he could tell
him that he would find that his gunboats
were to play big part. He had been all
summer buildin hull lot of iron plated
monsters, an eff the war didn't cum to an
end too soon, they would make the fur fly
AT all events, they would be reddy to Gel
citrate peace, which would be somethin.
For his part he didn't think the war nigh
ended yet, in fact, he didn't see how it
could end until all the contracts were flu
ished. 1t wouldn't do to disappint so
many good members of the party, who
hadn't yet had their turn buyin. vessels on
commission, or maxim gunboats.
Then Mr.. Blair got up lookin as if he
thought that wisdom. would surel y die
when he did. He sed he reckoned that
the country was safe. He sed he had
kept pretty close watch on the newspa-
pers to See eff any Of them opposed the
war or advocated slavery. He thought
that the people never had SIGH advantages
in the Post Office as they had had sence
he was Postmaster Gineral. The people,
he sed, used to have to pick out the pa
pers they wanted to take themselves, now
he did it for EN-. He sed he thought he
knew best, too, what was good for them,
for his father was an editor for good
meny years, an when he needed informa.
shin he alters called Oh the old man !
When Blair sot down, the Kernel called
upon Mr. Bates, but he had gone to sleep,
so they skipped him and called upon Mr..
Smith. He sed that the interior depart
ment was in fourishin condishin, but he
he'd lately heered that the loco focos had
agin carried Indianny, and it had SO wor-
ried him as to give him the tooth-ache.-
Eff they wanted to know anythin more
about his department., he would ask his
chief clark. Here the Kernel asked Sew.
ard eff he wouldn't wake up Mr.. Bates
Seward jest walked up, tux his finger and
thumb and pinchcd the old mans nose.--
AS he was breathin very hard thru it, he
jumped up as Of he had ben Prlcked with
