here most distinctly for myself that
dissent entirely from the conclusions
of the honorable Senator from Mas.
sachusetts, as stated in his resolutions
l do not look upon the States of this
Union as gone and destroyed. The
funda,nentalidea upon which we start.
ed in this contest was, that no State
could take itself ont Of the Union NO
State could destroy its existence As a
State, or change its relations to the
Union. We have not recognized
State action. From the beginning
we, have considered all action as indi
yidual action, as having nothing what
ever to do with the States as sush.-
But, sir, do not intend to argue tha,
question now.sa1t Is enough to say, IN

How OUR MoRrARs ARE DIscHARe-
ED.-A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune thus decribes the manuer in
which the immense Pittsburg mortars
being used in the reduction of Island
No. 70 arc discharged. He says:
"a bag Of powder, weighing from
eighteen to twenty pounds, is dropped
into the bore Of the huge monster ;
the derrick drops the shell in ; the
angle is calculated; a long cord is at
tached to the primer; the captain
gives the word, the gunner gives the
cord a sudden jerk, a crash like q
thousand thunders follows, tongue
of fame leaps from the mouth of the
mortar and column Of smoke rolls
up in beautiful fleecy spiral, develop.
ing the rings of exquisite proportions.
One can see the shell as it leaves the
mortar, flying through the air, appar.
emily no larger than marble. The

AN INGENIOUS ILLUsloN.

A lively time. was created ,on Wed
nesday night, in, the vicinity. Of St
Peters church, Third and Pine streets
The neighborhood was aroused by see
ing the figure Of a man dressed il
black, walking with measured pace
upon the top Of the brick portion o
the steeple. The mar, was apparent,
enveloped in cloak, and with treac
like that Of Forrest in the character
OF Hamlet was slowly. pacing at tha
peyilous heightupon narrow footpa,l
of brick work, A. crowd of people
soon gathered on the sidewalk, strain
ing their eyes to catch the eye of the
exalting promenader, and warn him ot
his peril. A number. of people de-
clared with white lips that the figure
was disembodied spirit, and recoiled

extremely exercised lest he should fal

they set about the task Of removing

with sent for tho sexton of the church.
That functionary was much astonish
ed at the tale. He declared the story
impossible, as ne one could have scaled
tho belfry without forcing door that
for six months had 9not been opened.
A Accompanied by a squad ofpolicemen
the sexton opened the church, and all
hands ascended the steeple.
When they reached the door in
question, it was found sealed by spid
er webs, conclusively proving that the
door had not been opened for some
time. 1t was unlocked, and the party
scaled the brick work where the spec
tire had been seen, only to find it had
gone. There was no one there, and
the moon. yelled by soft clouds was
looking down upon the April l-fooled
party, and lighting up the whole scene.
The party was simply sold. They de-
scended in a bad humor, and the crowd
after exchanging exclamations of won
derment, departed for their homes
The simple fact was that young m an

REBEL PRISONERS.

The following passage from the re-
port of the committee appointed by
the Senate Of the State Of Ohio, to
enquire into the circumstances Of the
release of the rebel officers confined
at Camp Chase, fully establishes the
mistaken policy of releasing them.
As to the rebel officers released on
parole, your committee could not get
much definite information, other than
that with few exceptions, these par
oles were granted by order of Gen
cral 1Ialleck. That the clemency so
shown was mistaken, the following
facts as to the conduct ofthese officers
while in Columbus will show: They
came wearing their side arms, stopped
at the principal hotels, registered their
names rs ''Colonel," Major" or Cap
,ain," with the significant letters &C. S.
A." added appearing from day to day
in rebel uniforms (some of them gaudy
all of them noticeable) in the Offices
and parlors and at the public tables of
these hotels and in the streets and
drives of the city; trequenting the
theatre and other places OF public
amusement, and visiting the Senate
and House chambers, where with
marked consideration they have been
invited to privileged seats within the
bar at all these places, and upon all
occasions giving expression to senti-
ments Of continued adherence to the
rebel cause, and OF utter hostility to
the government and people Of the
United States. ,
While prominent officers are thus
enjoying the freedom Of the city and
the luxuries Of hotel life, hundreds of
lpoor and ignorant privates, some OF
them impressed and all of them de-
eeived into the rebel service-penitent
for the wrongs they have done-ready
willing and anxious to take the oath
of allegiance-ars kept confined in
the prison at Camp Chase. This is a
matter Of complaint among the pris-
oners themselves. They argued to
the committee, and with much force i,
must be admitted, that Of the two they
were the less guilty and the les. dan.
Igerous, and if the sympathy of the
people aud clemency Of the Executive
should be exerted at all, it ought to be
lin their behalf. ...s. .......- -. -.% -

and this outrage upon the feelings q

From an elaborate review in the
New York World, of the fashions in.
troduced this season, as exhibited on
the "opening day." last. Thursday, in
New York, we condense the following
for the benefit of our lady readers:
..' BoNNETS.
The shape is precisely the same al
last season, only ''more so'' and has
been appropriately designated "six
stories." l: is very high in front, al
most square across the top, with very
straight sides, and narrow compressed
crown and curtain. The peculiarly
is, therefore, the extreme eight, which
is greatly increased by the arrange.
ment of the trimming. The novelties
of the season are almost al.
together in straw goods - fancy
grapes, gauzes, tulles, and the
like, being very little used, exceptigu
for the soft crowns of silk hats. Til {
variety and beauty, however, of the
fine straw fabrics leave nothing to be
desired.
Silk bonnets are decidedly not ton,
as no amount of trimming will ever
make them distiaegue; they are there
fore properly consigned to the middle
age, or demitoilette, and are best and
most becomingly made up in the plain
est and least expensive manner.
The novelty and beauty Of the straw
trimmings seems to be marked fea
ture of this seasons decorations, and
exceedingly apropos to the promi
vance given to rich straw fabrics. 81

And if you but knew itas we'll as know it,

1t teaches a lesson more useful than one
To be CLEANED from the sentence" I'll play i
alone!'
self-reliancc, we know, is an excellent trait,
Ihe. Advanced Guard of Science, who patientl,
wait
Until time has developed the Truths they pro.
claim,
Deserve high place on the record of fame;
And often in life, as in EucEre, own
You make Big March when you "play i
alone"
But to "goit alone" you 10 doubt understand
You must hold the BIG KsAvE of the pack ir
your hand.
And too often in life, in similar fix,
You depend upon such cards to secure you the
tricks.
So that something too much for the knave NAV
be shown,
In selfish desire to s'go it alone.'
But the game you describe as "trial strife"
Has moral to point for the Battle of Life.
1t is this: When the cards are dealt round on
the stand,
And each player looks anxieusly into his hand
How bravely your partner ill-luck can resist,
If cheerfully by the sound Of your voice-"I'll
assist :"
The great Galileo, imprisoned and bound,
In the depth Of his Tow his sympathy found.
When angry Deminicans hurled at his head,
All the wrath on which bgotry's passion is fed
A fair form appeared through the dungeons
dim mist,
And daughters soft voice whispered low

What's the worth of this world, if designing
and cold,
You selfshly seek all the Honors to hold,
Repelling your neighbors, with glanccs of stone
And the words harshly spoken, "Tll play it
alone ~
No-no higher up on humanity's list,
Is he who can cheerfuIy say -" I'll assist"
Then in love! Oh, rash poet! il she whose
bright eyes
Are gazing in yours with tender surpri.a,
Should apply to yoar own case the moral you've
shown,
And quietly tell You to "play it alone :"
With what passionate arlor those lips would
be kissed
Till they murmur once more the so # words
"Tll assist"
Then shuttle the pack! Cut.,thc ca, ls once again
And let a new moral awkcn your stran!
Go! teach to the world tt at the battle Of life
May be lightened to all who take part iu the
strifa
If the generous lesson thus taught be not
missed,
And each man to his neighbor will say-"I'l
