sE1f Congress would spend its time in pro-
viding means to carry on tie war, in bringing
to punishment the rascals who have been plum
dcring the Government, instead of entering up
on an anti-slayery crusade, the country would
be the bene6tter by. it. If it should appear af-
ter a time that the Union cannot come out tri-
unphant. unless slavery is destroyed, why. let
as destroy slavery if we can. But just now
the srsuies of the rebels are between US and
their slaves, and il is sheer faulty TO distract
about that which is not within our
reach. Break the military power of the rebel
ioa, and speculations as to what we shall do
with slavery, will not be, as now, grotesque
absurdity. onF own idea is that with the de-
feat OF the ipsurgept armies, we shall see a
new revolution in the South. and the war will
end with the destruction. no. of slavery. but of
that politicalpower that grew out Of it, aud be-
ing no longer the special pet of the Republic,
,-ill PASS away ia good time.

HThe Rev. MATLooK having received a
majority of votes in the 10th Regiment for
Chaplain, the Col, has notified him that for the
present they have concluded to get along with
cut one.
We suspect that this determination of the
Col. has been influenced by the friends OF GER
tain candidates for the same place living in
Wooster. Failing to get their own favorites ap-
pointed. they would prevent anybody else get
ting it. This would be SO like Wooster.
3 We have no doubt but that most of the Reg.
iments might dispense with their Chaplains
for if the truth is told of some OF them, they
soon become as much the subjects for prayer, as
any of those whose spiritual welfare they are
appointed to look after

MARROW EscArE.-A deplorable acci-
dent occurred at the Holton House on
Monday morning, which resulted fatally to
one little life and came near destroying the
building. A family of transient persons
occupying an upper room went down to
breakfast leaving two children, one near 8
years old, and the other less than year
DID, in bed. The older one scrambled up
and lighted fluid lamp which was at hand
and set it on the bed. 1t turned over and
set the bed on fire. The screams of the
children brought help in time to save the
building from the progress Of the fire, but
not in time to save the young child which
was already dead. The older child was
not injured. The agony of the scene. in
that sad chamber, may be imagined, but
cannot be describsd.-Newark { Ohio },

France asked US, to surrender Mason and Sill
dell, that the one alleged grievance nigh the re-
moved. We complied. IfEngland now push
es US still farther. and refusing to be satisfied
with the very anti English letter which Mr.
Seward sends with the prisoners, it is not un-
likely that France may be disposed to perform
for England the kind office which she has jnsi
done for us, and enter kind remonstrance, to
be followed, perhaps, with something more
powerful in case her requests are not granted
Wemust be prepared for the worst. We are
not out of the woods yet. Never unit we are

strength, with our seabord in state Of perfect

republican equality works its way under the
thrones and estates of the princes and no.

much active and gallant service in Mexico,
is in Washington. He is accompanied BY
his Aid, Lieut.. Haycock, First U. S. Cav
airy. He is enthusiastically received, and
expresses himself anxions to miugle in the
fray. As Meagher has been recommended
as a Brigadier General, and as Gen. Shields
was breveted Major General for his gal
