A BLUSDER AND JOKE. The New Or
leans correspondent of the New York Her
aid says
speaking of DR.. Smith, am reminded
of one of the best jokes of the season. A
gentleman called on Gen. Butler to-day.
and stated that he had q negro who was
hanging about the general hospital, and
he wished to get him. The Generals pol
icy in such eases is TO turn the negro out
of our lines unless he has been employed
by some officer. He therefore turned to
one of his aids-Lieut. Clark-and told
him to write to DR.. Smith to turn the man
out of his hospital. Lieut.. Clark wrote to
DR.. Smith-"Y You will at once turn this
man out of your hospital accidentally
emitting to say anything about eolored
man. The owner of the slave took the
note to the hospital Innoeently enough,
and handed it to DR.. Smith. The DR..
read the order, and, though rather aston
ished, supposed the General had good rea-
son for such Instructions; so he jumped,
and told his visitor to leave the house
quicker than he ever came into it. The
gentleman was perfectly astounded, and
attempted TO ask the reason of such treat
ment; but the Doctor said lie wonld not
hear word, and, taking him by the shoul-
der, pushed him towards the door, and
then ordered corporal to put him out,
which he did, the gentleman brandishing
his cane and cursing bitterly against such
usage. He went back TO the General, and
m explanation ensued, and resulted in all
hands enjoying a regular olCl-fashiono1
horse-laUgh. The negro was not in the
hospital, and has not vet been found"

That strangest Snake story.

The Wheeling LlteligsSesr reiterates the
solemn truth ofthat strange snake story.
told couple of weeks ago, of young
fellow named Fay, residing about six miles
east of Wheeling, on the National road.
and who captures snakes in great num-
bers and who bites their heads off. Tho
reporter says this story is more than true.
Fay will capture given number of snakes
as readily as one would find given num-
Der of minnowes in the creek along whoSes
banks the fellow resides, and he Will bite
their heads off with no more concern thau
he would manifest in biting off chew Of
dog-leg tobacco. 1t is known that no haz
bitten the heads off at least one or two
hundred snakes at different times during
the present spring.
As we said before, he has but one or
two teeth in his upper jaw, and ne is COM
PEELED to chew and tear the heads in order
to separate them from the bodies, the rep
tiles being alive and squirming horribly.
Another popularity shout the fellow ia,
that the dogs are all afraid of him, or else
he exercises some charm upon the tx g.
species. He will go into yard or house
in the middle Of the night. .unloose the
most ferocious dog and kick him into the
street. He has done this repeatedly with
very savage dogs in the neighborhood,
which no person, other than those with
whom the dogs are acquainted. dare sp-
proaoh.

Small Talk.

Nobody abuses small talk unless he be
a stranger to its convenience. Small
talk is the small change of life; there is
no getting on withOutit. There are times
when its folly to be wise ;" when a little
nonsense is very palatable, and when
gravity and sedateness ought to be kicked
down stairs. A philosopher cuts poor
figure in the ball room, unless he leaves
his wisdom at home. Metaphysics are in
structive in the midst of agreeable pratt
ties, as deaths head on q festive board.
We have met with men who were too
lofty for small talk. They would never
condescend to play with a ribbon or fiirt
a fan. They were above such trihing. in
other words, they were above making
themselves agreeable, above pleasing,
above being pleased. They were all wis
dom, all gravity and all tediousness, which
they bestowed upon company with more
than Dogberry's generosity. A man who
cannot talk has no more business in so
ciety than a statue. The world is made
up of trifies; and he who can trihe ele-
gantly and gracefully is a valuable acquisi-
ton to mankind. He is Corinthian col
umn in the fabric of society.

Giving Aid and Comfort to the En-
emV.


The Unionists are either right or wrong
in resisting the Shareholders Rebellion
They cannot be both right and wrong, nor
is there any way of splitting the difference
between them consistent with honesty
and truth. If those who direct the Ma
tional efforts in this struggle provoked,
outraged and oppressed the South so that
h9r people were compelled to take up
arms in vindication of their own manhood,
then the People ought TO rise as one man,
wrest power from the unworthy hands to
which it has most unwisely been commit
ted, and pu. an end to the war. But if
as Andrew johnson and ParSon Brown
low affirm, and we most undoubtingly be-
lieve-there was no cause whatever for
rebellion-if the election of Lincoln was,
as General jackson said the Tariff was in
1882 and the Slavery question next would
be, but q preteXt," and as Barnwell
Rhett pronounced it, 4" the opportunity"
Tor this Disunion outbreak-the eagerly
awaited. coveted and - oppor-
tunity-then he who insinuates that one
sue Is as much to blame as the other, and
seeks TO cover Republicans and Rebels
with a common odium, is not merely
systematic deceiver but a virtual traitor.
He is doing his utmost to paralize the
energies of the Government by robbing
it of the hearty aud enthusiastic support
of the People lie is doing the basest
of jeff Davis and FLOYD
without having the courage to share their
perils.-Nel0 York TriJ,mc,

Anirew johnson on Secession and
Slavery.

In his speech at Lebanon, Tenn, on the
2d inst, Gov. Johnson spoke on the twin
subjects OF slavery and secession
Men tell us we must compromise. We
will compromise only by making them
submit; by doing as Jefferson did with
Burr-conquer them and then make them
obedient. What better Government do
we want than the present? What have
we got to compromise? Has any one lost
his rights in the Union? If so, let him
come forward and look me in the face,
and tell me what he has lost. Lost your
rights? Well, have determined to give
all who say this chance to get their
rights by sending them off South to fight
for their rights, and give them in exchange
for some of those poor fellows in the rebel
army who have found their rights and
want to come home.
l don't think these fellows who buster
about rights have much appetite bright
ing. Some of them would rather 90 to
the devil than enter the army. Rights,
indeed ! they gave me mine by turning
my sick wife and little boy into the streets.
That is the way they gave me my rights.
Let me tell these clamorers that there are
SO0,O00white people and only g, 900 slave
holders in Tennessee.
Now, keep forcing this issue upon the
people; make it question whether the
government or slavery shall perish, and l
will cling to the government to the last,
and perish amid its fallen columns. Rather
let Africa sink under the ocean than this
Republic thould perish. Persist in forcing
this slavery issue and the institution is
gone.
Clayton, Howell Cobb's Secretary, said
to me on one occasion We of the South
are determined not to submit TO a Presi-
dent who has risen from the mass Of the
people rs Abe Lincoln has. Here Is Il full
blown idea of aristocrscy-that you, the
people, shall not send up one of your own
men, plebian without wealth, or negroes,
or family, to rule over a conceited and
ambitious aristocracy, who estimate men
not by their brains or virtues, but by their
wealth and lineage.

NEVER DESPAIR.
By z. XEE.

What tho the sky be overcast,
And angry clouds are rushing fast
Before the wild and stormy blast,
And all Is gloom and sadness,
Tomorrow sun will drive away
The clouds that now make dark the day.
And. Nature. decked in bright array,
Will smile in joy and gladness.
What tho thy soul has felt the woe
Ofadvcrse fortunes cruel blow.
And all thy joys are crushed below
The weight of pain and sorrow.
ct bear thy burden-cease to sigh
The star of hope yet CLEANS on high
The sunset dyes that paint the sky,
Proclaim bright to morrow.
Tho life is but I" vale of tears"
And hope Is ever joined with fears.
And disappointment oft appears
To make thee sad and weary.
Remember that the darkest night
Is followed by the morning light
That many scenes of earth are bright,
Though some be dark and dreary.
Then yield not. tho the pointed dart
OfSorroW pierce thine aching heart
In silence bear the bitter part
Which fate to thee has given;
For soon again a cheerful ray
OF hope will DER thy fortunes play.
And flowers again will strcw the way
That leads to peace and Heaven.

[From the Nashville Union !
WAKING Up.

We see in various quarters, signs and
indications of a thorough waking up of
loyal citizens and loyal authorities. SEN
sible people begin to realize the fact that
the rebellion is a giant demon, and that
if we wish to destroy it, we must come
down upon it with relentless force and
fury, instead Of stopping to parley with it
about compromise, and of devising fancy
plans Of conciliat;on, by which the demon
may be transformed into an angel of light.
A few weeks ago, some timid Union men
would occasionally tell us that we were
ahead of the times. We guess from pres
ent appear ances that we shall not have
TO wait for company. We are beginning
to grow hopeful. When the nation gets
into hard earnest then the rebellion will
quickly perish. The sentiment uttered,
from the portico of the Capitol last night,
by Governor johnson: "a Treason must be
made oIious and traitors impoverished" was a
golden sentence. 1t fell upon our ears
like the trumpet voice of leader who
had barred his strong arm for victory The
audience felt so. and shouted with en-
thusiastic approval.

About Doughfaces.
From the Nashville uninn !

ITIUH INC NishNliIe Unlon.I
The Louisville-Nashville Courier said,
last winter, that " the Union was tolera-
able to Southern men, so long as there
was Dickinson doughtaces to be bought,
and Cochran towards to be frightened /;
but that so soon as the Yankee hirelings
placed one OF their own spawn over US.
political connection became uncomfortable. /"
From the tone of some of our Northern
exchanges, and the proceedings of some
so-called conservative and Democratic
we are inclined to think that
the Southern rebels may come back into
the Union, with the hope of frightening
Northern towards, and buying Northern
doughfaces, just as they did under the
blissiul reign of King Buchanan.
