Dear Beau

The Boston Libeyator. edited by WV
LLOYD GARRIsos. frankly admits the truth
Of the charge. and its unmitigated reproba-
ion of the labors and patriotism Of WASH
INGToN:
"None whatever! That was guilty Union
cemented with the blood OF an enslaved race
on our soil-"a copenant nth death and an
agreement UiM he'll" in The making Of
,chich "Washington and his companions"
committed a grievous sin. The natural and
inevitable result is dismembered Repu bic
and a tremendous civil war. through the
treachery Of the very slaveholding class
that originally dictated the terms of the
Union, and also as a divine retribu,ion for
trampling upon the poor and needy. Not
for myriadso Of ,corlds ought IL TO be, cven If
ii could be. restored. with all its iniquitous
conditions and horrible pro slavery compro-
misses"

lDLEEEsS AND ACTivIrY.--It is the en-
ergy of will that is the soul Of the intellect;
wherever it is there is life; where it is not,
all is dizziness and dependency and desola-
ton. People who have no experience Of it
imagine that it is destructive to the nerves.
exhaustive to the animal spirits; that it az
gravates the wear and tear Of life excessive
ly. But this is an idle notion, as idle as the
habits aud humors of those who entertain
IT. leave it to any man who knows its
real effect to strike the balancs-to compare
the exhaustion Of an indolent day with that
Of an active one. to say in which OF the
two cases the subject is in better heart for
work, and filter TO undergo it. Whatever
we may bs about, one thing believe is GER.
tain. that il the spirits are bent by energy,
they arc utterly wasted by idleness; at
worst. energy can only end by relaxation; it
is superior to it for awhile. and possibly at
last may fall into it; whereas idleness is &C.
tually relaxation from first to last. and can
DO nothing else. But even this view, favor.
able as it Is. is not favorable enough yet to
be just. The fact is that violence is not
necessary to energy any more than tyranny
is to kiugship; on the contrary. the genilest
energy does the most work. Energy. liter
", from the Greek. is inward workingness;
the blooming Of the flower is energy. the
growth of the body is energy--yet in all
these there is no violence; the efficacy is not
destructive. but vital; without it, the whole
frame must fall into corruption; with it, in
stead Of corruption We have life.

AN INCIDENT AT pr1rsBuRG LANDING.

On the battle feld at Pittsturg Landing
was flock of sheep. During the battle the
flock b. came scattered, most Of them either
being killed or lost 10 the Surrounding
woods. Among them was a little lamb,
not many weeks old. whose mother was
among the los. and missing after the battle.
Il was the only one Of the flock seen by our
army on the ground where the two armies
had fought. The old sheep. frightened BY
the noise Of ba, lie, the firing of musketry,
and cannon run away. But this little lamb,
when it had lost its mother returned to the
pasture where the fock had been folded
and fed by its owner.
It was on a field where many men had
fallen in battle, and where they now lie bu-
ried in soldiers grave, each with OILY a
small board at the head containing the
name, age, regiment, and company Of the
dead. with the time Of his death. Here this
little lost lamb was seen wandering around

The RAILROAD QUESTION. - Friday
morning, the Railroad Committee rather
unexpectedly reported back Mr.. Speaker
BENsoN's bill introduced on the 18th ofJan.
uary, to facilitate the construction of the
Minnesota and Pacific Railroad, and to
amend and continue the act of incorpora~
ton relating thereto" without amendment
or recommendation and the same was tax.
en- up in Committee of the Whele. The
first question raised was, whether the cor
porators should be named in the BILL before
its full constellation, which was debated at
some length.
There was no test vote, as to whether
the House would pass bill fixing its own
terms and conditions for the construction of
the Railroad, and authorizing the Governor
to solicit propositions from companies or
whether it would take the proposition OF
the Minnesota and Pacific Company and
revive it's charter; but the informal vote
on striking out the name of the corpora
tors would seem to indicate disposition on
the part of the majority, to throw over
board the original companies, and invite
new combinations.

ing has transpired in which be has taken

wasn't satisfactory to the Kansas Senator
and Brigadier. Affairs never went well

eign parts; and, we fear LANE, to succeed
as he would wish, in the niger line, will
have to initiate his prototype, and leave
also. Australia proved a tolerable place
for M1oAwBER, but for man like LANES
peculiar tastes and talents. Hayti or Liberia
would be better.
Meantime, while LANE is standing out
in the cold before HUSrER's headquarters,
the facts concerning his appointment and
expedition, are gradually coming to light
at Washington. Itseems that the arrange.
ments for his expedition on the niger free
ing basis, were made with Secretary CANE
RON, and that the President was not con-
suited in regard to the policy involved.
Probably the first intimation the President
received OF LANES programme, was from
the latter's speech at Chicago which was
the craziest haraDgue ever made by any
man outside of mad-house. LANE there
announced bis purpose to go directly to the
Gulf--take possession of the Southern tier
OF Slave States, and give the niggers their
freedom and the lands of their masters
erect them into niger provinces-and thus
put the map of the country into half
mourning, by friugiug it with black Dor
der, all along the Southern coast. When
this extraordinary scheme was submitted to
the President, it is stated that orders were
instantly sent to General HUNTER to as
sumo entire direction OF the Southwestern
Border Expedition, and in terms which
would amount to an unequivocal disavowal
of the crazy, agrarian schemes OF the Kan
sas Brigadier. Which be accordingly did !;
and the bottom suddenly fell out of "LANE's
Expedition"
1t appears to US that General jim LANE
has furiosoed over the country about long

the other fourth as mad as March hare.
