HUNTERS NEGRO BRIGADE.


We learn from our eastern exchanges
that the Negro Brigade organized BY
Gen. Hunter At Hilton Head has proved
an unmitigated failure. Out Of eight
hundred contrabands on the muster roll,
there we're some five hundred who "ske-
daddled J" and many of the remainder
felt 80 uneasy under military control and
discipline, that they watched for opportu.
mites to escape. This circumstance is
accounted for by the fact that the white
troops have annoyed and irritated the
black soldiers whenever they came in their
reach !. and General Hunter, though inva-
riably favoring the Africans, was unable
to check the stroag feeling Of opposition
to the Negro Brigade which had seized
our troops almost unanimously.
1t is stated that even the New England
soldiers have been prominent in mocking
the forced military ambition Of Sambo. -
Gen. Hunter was often sppealed.to to pro.
tect the latter, and his response only in.
creased hostilities between the races.

Of the disbandment, at all events, proved
correct for Gen. Hunter dispatched an
Adjutant and several officers TO Ellio,t's
Plantation, where the Brigade was in camp
On the arrival Of these officers their

Brigade soon fell into line, and were off.

but not moro so than the white troops
The ex-soldierss rushed to and fro and
were soon busy in making preparations
for their homes in Beaufort and other
places. Thus ends the first, and probably
the last attempt to make white men of
negroes in the army.

TREAsoN.-We have had homily after
homily preached to us, in the Black Re-
publican organs against the sin of praying
for peace. It was denounced as treason,
and every man suspected of entertaining
desire that the country should be saved
from the impending curse Of civil war, des-
olation and ruin, was singled out as fit
subject for malignant party spleen. The
editor who dared to mention p ace was de-
nounced as an open traitor; the minister
who forgot or neglected to, appeal to the
God of battles, or prayed to the God of
love and mercy, was almost hooted from
the pulpit; while it appeared to be an un-
pardonable SIN to paint Jesus Christ in any
other color than black. And yet these
Republican organs are silent upon the sub
ject of the immense robberies perpetrated
by their party friends upon the treasury Of
the Government. Treason in its very worst
phase is winked. at, if not justified, and the
perpetrators screened and excused. Mil
lions oimoney have been flched from the
Golfers, with bold, unsparing hands, until
the Government has become so crippled in
its resources that it is extremely perpIexing,
if not Impossible, to foresee the result
If anything be treason, surely this is,-to
rob the Government of the very sinews Of
war, and leave it impoverished before an
enemy. Patriotism pales at the very sight
OF the party cormorants who have thus
danced and iddled, and luxuriated upon
the vitals of the Government, while honest
men have been held at bay by foul sus-
picion and false charges. West Ches' er

The EYE or THE EAaLE The eyes Of
all birds have pecuiiarity Of structure
which enables them 10 see near or distant
Objects equally well; aud this wonderful
power Is carried 10 the greatest perfection
ia the birds of prey When We reeallect
that an eagle will ascend more than a mile
in perpendicular height, and from. that
enormous elevation will preceive It's upsus-
pecting prey, and pounce on it with unerr-
ing certainty; and when we see the same
bird scrutinizing, with almost microscopic
nicely, an object close at hand, we shall at
once perceive that be possesses power of
accommodating his sight to distance, in
manner to which our own eye is united,
and Of which it is totally incapable IF we
take a printed page, we shall find that there
is some particular distance, probably ten
inches, at which We can read the words and
see each letter with perfect distinctDess
but if we move this page to distance of
forty inches, or bring it within distance
Of five inches, we shall find it impossible to
read it at all scientific man would there
fore, call ten inches the fodus or feeal dis
lance Of our eyes, We cannot alter this
focus except by the aid of spectacles
But an eagle has the power of altering
the focus OF his eye just as he pleases; he
has only to look at an object at the distance
of two feet or two miles. in order to see it
with equal distinctness OF course the
eagle knows nothing OF the wonderful con-
trivance which God has supplied for his
accommodation he employs it instinctively,
and because he cannot help it. The ball
OF his eye is surrounded by fifteen little
plates, called scherotic bones they torm
complete ring, and theiredges slightly over
lap each other. When he looks at a dis
taut object, this little cir lie of bones ex-
pands, and the ball Of the eye being re-
lleved from the pressure becomes aatter;
and he looks at very near object, the lit
tie bones press together, and the ball of
the eye is thus squeezed into rounder or
more convex form. The effect is very ia,
miliar to everybody person with very
round eyes is near sic GIFTED, and only sees
clearly an object that is close to him and !,
person with fiat eyes, as in old age, can see
nothing clearly except at a distance; the ea-
gle, by the mere will, can make his eye
round orfat, and thus see with equal clear
ness at any distance.

dollars each in his hand, said, "I'll give you

Island No. Ten.

This now somewhat famous Island, as
may be seen by referring to any good
map, situated in the corner of that bend
of the Mississippi river which touches the
border of Tennessee, few miles further
up the river than New Madrid, although
nearly southwest of that point. 1t is 10.
Gated about 240 miles from st. LOUIS, and
$50 miles from New Orleans. The eleva-
ton OF the river at this point is about two
hundred feet above the level of the delta,
orsits mouth. The average aepth Of the
water at this point is from ninety to one
hundred feet, aud the breadth of the
stream, from main land to main land,
about nine hundred yards. The current
runs by the Island at moderately fast
rate, and with the power of the three riv-
ers- Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio
combined. The island is near the south
ern, or what may be termed the eastern,
bank Of the river, but, at this point, the
stream varies frOm its southern course, aud
turns abruptly to the northwest, leaving
this island in the. southern angle OF tile
bend. 1t is about As miles, BY the course
of the river, south Of Columbus, and about
