TuE FEELING IN TIE BORDER STATES
There is, We believe, better feeling growing
up in tho Border States in regard to tho Pres.
ident's emancipation proclamation. They be-
gin to look in its true light; not as pander.
Ing to tho so-callcd philanthropy Of any set Of
men, but as an earnest, solemn measure. de-
manded by tho existence Of the crisis. The
Louisville Journal, which was very bitter ai
first. says Significantly:
The storm that is brewing will be terrible
no doubt, visiting tho direct disaster upon the
people, with untold death and destruction
but our own great national sin must be washed
out by the blood of the nation, and we may
rs we'll prepare for the deluge while its signs
are in the heavens. The rainbow Of promise
nsuring tho God-given covenant Of liberty ia
mankind, will certainly appear for us in due
season. when all tho world will stand amazed
and say: I" See the greatest nation has passed
the most trying ordeal in all history, and has
come out OF it chastencd, characterized, i'm
proved. and strengthened, whilst democracy
and rcpublicanism are placed upon the sures'
foundation, and must exist in and extend to
all the ends of the EARTH" America will be
free after this struggle. The land will be for
ever an inheritance for white men. robbine
England of her greatest boast; for this Gov
ernment alone will guaranty freedom to every
one who may set foot upon the soil.

Excavations at Pompeii,

A Berlin paper publishes the following ex-
tract from letters received by Professor Zahn
from Naples and Pompeii :-"Tho organiza-
ton Of the Naples Museum is being very much
improved. The gallery of antique frescoes is
newly arranged, in neurological order, begin
ming with Jupiter. Onc-half is already COM
pleted, and the other is about to be begun
upon. In Pompcii the excavations are xeal-
ously carried on under a new Pedmontese
contractor. The old accumulation of volcan-
ic ashes, which have been thrown round the
town in the direction Of the sen, is now being
removed, and sent by tho little railway to the
field outside the town beyond the Ampithea-
tire. In the latest excavations in a house in
the immediate vicinity of the Casino of Sig
nor dell Aquila, beautiful tricliniun. with
three richly decorated walls and three fas
pictures, was discovered. The first Of these
pictures represents tho building of Troy by
Neptune and Apollo, the second drunken
Hercules, with numerous Cupids who have
disarmed him, and surrounded by several
Fauns aud Bacchantes, and in tho third pic
ture Vulcan shows Thetis the arms of Apollo,
among them shield, on which are Represent
ed the Zodiac. Apollo. and the nine Muses..
The second picture, with the drunken Hercu-
les, is said to b., as regards both drawing and
coloring. one Of tho finest ancient frescoes yet
known. Next to this triclinium is another
chamber, the ground Of tho walls Of which is
black, with embellishments in the Egyptian
style, and number Of small pictures. On
tho floor at the entrance Of this house is the
inscription, "!Salrc Lxcr0." The enext Luiliing
is tavern, with an inscription, and painted
elephant on the outer wall as sign-the En-
ephant Inn. Opposite, to this is large place
Of amusement. with many paintings Of vo-
luptuous character and interesting inscrip-
tions, and where there also have been found
numerous objects in gold. silver, bronze and
glass.
