poses to contribute one hundred dollars in aid

Miss Bremen returns her thanks TO her
friends in America Tor the gifts sent to her
home during her absence, and dwes upon
the pleasure she derived from her visit to this
country. She says,
"But it is especially with my friends in The

known that Mr. Parker eyed the final destina-

which circumstance lends interest and value
to the volumes as they now lie accessible to
all who can appreciate them. There are of
them, 1901 volumes and 3,088 pamphlets,
rich in theology, metaphysical, ethics, history,
modern and ancient literature, not excluding
rare little Elzoyir gems, monkish Illuminated
manuscript books, and other monuments of
curious and reconcile learning. The trustees
acknowledge, moreover, that this collection

"Iuexorabie logic" Applied.

According to what Republican Aboli.
tion Fusionists call the "inexorable log
ic Of iacts," if we had had no Republican
party, we should have had no war. Up
on premises assumed by leading Fusion
lists. it can be demonstrated beyond all
controversy, that the country can never
have quiet, and that the Union will never
be safe, while a single vestige ola Sec
tional political organization, like the Re-
publican, under whatever disguise it may
hide its olious head, "Union, d" "Fusion,'
or what not, is suffered to remain.
Everybody knows that there are men
now cherished and petted by. and taken
into the bosom Of that proiessed Union,
but real anti Union party, who have been
zea'ousIy la5oring for five, ten, twenty,
and thirty years to break up the Union
This many Of them openly avow, and
"glory in their shame "
Now suppose that in spite Of these Re-
publican and Fusion disorganzers, the
triumph Of our arms should be crowned
with the glorious result for which we are
lavishly wasting life and expending trea-
sure, namely, the restoration Of the Fed
eTal authority over the whole country
with all the constitutional rights of the
several States unimpaired. There can be
no question that some Of tie Southern
States, perhaps all Of them, will continue
to hold slaves under the Federal Consti.
tuition and their own State Constitutions
and State laws as heretofore. The con-
sequence will be that the same political
anti slavery agitatoIs and disunionists,
or their legimate representatives, who
have, "chopping logic" after their own
fashion, br ught on the present rebellion
and civil war, will not rest, but will keep
the public mind in continual ferment,
and another rebellion, probably a worse
and more terrible one, will follow upon
the heels Of this.
So that, taking counsel Of the New
York Ti7june and other leading Republi-
can and Fusion papers, the only safe and
certain way to put own the present re-
bellion, and insure the Republic against
the recurrence ola similar or worse one,
is to annihiiate the Republican, Abolition
Fusion organization, root and branch,
and to take stringent and efiectual means
to prevent the monster Upas tree from
ever again showing singing leaf or
raising poisonous spront above ground.
"annihilate the cause, and you may be
sure the effect will cease - Statesman.

Something that our Volunteers
should Understand.

In consequence of frequent suggestions
which have been made in or presence we
are convinced that there is an erroneous
impression among our volunteers and
their friends as to the allowance of pen
sions and bounty money This has been
created by the false inducements held out
by recruiting officers, when hand-bills a
few months ago could be seen upon every
street corner and at every cross roads in
the country. The soldier gets Sl3 per
month, private, and an allowance at the
time of his discharge of s3,50 per month
for clothing. From this is stopped what
ever clothing has been issued by his c. m
pany officer, at the contract price, or, if
that be unknown, at tAe regulation price
annually fixed for the regulars by the
War Department. If he serves t,r0 gears
or during the war if sooner ended, he re-
ceivcs 500 bounty money in addition to
to all pay and allowances Ifdischarged
prior to the expiration of two years SER
vices or before the end of the war, he has
no claim to the bounty. Under the act
of Congress Of July %, 1861, (the first
and only one providing bounty,) pro-
vision is made to allow 500 to the wild
ow or legal heirs of such as die or are Kill
led while in service.
The practical working of the bounty
law is unjust in many particulars. Those
who volunteered prior to July %, 1861,
(the date Of the passage of the act) get
no bounty, nor does the soldier who is
disabled by wounds or severe illness that
he is compelled to be discharged from the
service prior to the expiration of the two
years service. No law has yet been adopt
cd 10y Congress granting pensions to in
valid soldiers Of the present war, or to the
widows and orphans of such as die in the
service, and the Attarney General has
lately decided that existing laws do not
allow the granting of pensions to claim
ants who have been wounded in the pres
ent war, nor the widows and orphans of
those dying in service, or who have been
killed in battle. Congress has refused to
pass a law granting bounty land to SOL
diers, and all such offers by recruiting
officers are unwarranted.

Rules fOrUOme Education.

The following are worthy Of being
printed in letters of gold, and being pla-
cel in conspicuous place in every house,
hold:
l. From your children's earliest iufan-
cy inculcate the necessity Of instant ODE,
dience
.. Unite irmness with gentleness. Let
your children always understand that You
mean exactly what you say.
3. Never promise them any thing un.
less you are sure you can give them what
you promise.
t. If you tell child to do anything
show him how to 90 it, and see that it is
done.
3, Always punish your children for
wilfully disobeying you, but never punish
in anger.
6. Never let them perceive that they
can veX you, or make you lose your self
command.
I. If they give way to petulance and
temper, wait till they are calm, an then
gently reason with them on the impro-
priety of their conduct,
s. Remember that a little gentle pun
ishment when the occasion arises, is much
more electual than the threatening Of a
greater punishment should the fault be
renewed.
0. Never give your children anything
because they cry for it.
10. On no account allow them to do
at one time. what Won have Mt another
time, under the same circumstances, for,
bidden.
IL, Teach them that the only sure and
easy way to appear good is to be good.
y. Accustom them to making their
little recitals the perfect truth,
IS. Never allow of tale bearing,
II, Teach them that sclf-dcnial, not
selfindulgence is the appointed and sure
method.

Hon. John J. Criftenden and
Secretary Seward.

The correspondent Of the Syracuse On.
W Union says;
"Speaking of Secessionists, leads me
to remember Elk Governor Morehead. of
Kentucky, who has recently been liberia
ted from Fort Warren, on condition Of
his not returning home, but remaining in
the Free States during the war. An
anccdote is current as to how the Gov
ernor got his release, which am assured
is we'll founded. 1t ems that ExSen-
ator Crittenden demanded it, and was
assured by President Lincoln that More
head should be let out. a week went by,
and nothing more was done. a second
visit to the White House gave the infor,
nation to Mr.. Crittenden that Seward
had been promptly ordered by the Presi-
dent to release the prisoner, but, for some
reason of his own, had declined to obey;
and second written request was then
and there made out, signed by the
Presidential hand and dispatched to the
State Department. Mr.. Seward quietly
consigned it to the flames, however, and
Mr.. Mr.. Morehcad remained in the case
ments a fortnight or three weeks longer.
Again the indefatigabe Kentucky loyal
ist called on the President, and a third
and equal y Intellectual message was the
result; the prisoner still fingered in Bos-
ton Harbor, AT last Crittenden called
on Seward himself--siX weeks had clap

manded to know why his old friend was
not discharged. Seward fatered and
eluivocated; Crittendcn lost his temper

est possible Anglo Saxon, he vented his
opinion of the "irst officer under the
Government" 81 always knew" he
roared, "that you were a liar and dirty
dog, and you have proved it now more
clearly than ever" Mr. Seward in the
most Christian manner meekly declined
retort; but handed Mr., Crittenden tho
order for the release of Mr.. Morehead, anC
SO the Elk Governor got his LIBERTY

The Battle for Constitutional
Liberty.

n cotemporary remarks As victory
upon victory is crowning our arms, Col.
Richardson Of Illinois, in his truly pat
riotic letter declining a military commits
sion, has well and timely said THE
greatest battle for constitutional liberty
has yet to be fought in Congress and be-
fore the people," for the combination Of
reckless fanatics and unprincip!ed dema
gogues who aim to substitute "A law high
er than the Constitution, must be put
down. Such law is mob law. 1t is as
tonishing how alphabetically men can see
Congressman deliberately vote for such
lynch law propositions as Sumner made
in the Senate and Ashley made in the
House, for which there is not line Of
Constitutional law, and it is insulting to
the intellect to pretend that there is. To
demonstrate that a measure in unconsti-
tutional in State Legislature or in Con
gress ought to be enough to dispose Of
the measure at once TO stand firmly by
the Constitution is now the way to under
mine hostility to the Union, and pave
the way to the springing up anew Of the
old fraternal sentiment. General Hal
leck, who writes as we'll as he fights, has
just written these golden words to q

The Southwest,

The rebels, there is every reason to be-
lieve, are concentrating an immense army
in the Southwest. 1t is said their new
line extends from Decatur, Alabama, to
Island No, 10 on the Mississippi and
that they can marshal all their forces on
any part of the line which may be mana
cel. \ correspondent of the Louisville
Journdl estimates the rebel army under
Beauregard at two hundred thousand men,
but this is probably an eXaggeratiou.-
General Bragg is with Beauregard, with
small army of trained artillerists from
Penaacola, and it is thought that the flow
er of the rebel army on the Potomac has
been transferred to the Southwest The
movements and concentration of our
troops in that quarter are not permitted
to be made public. Stats'man.
