It will not be disputed that John w.
Fo.ney has become about as thoIoegh-
going 40 anti-Secessionist as any man
"a the country. Nor is it assuming TOO
much to say be knows as well the tone,
temper, purposes, views and aspirations
Of the Southern leaders as any man in
Washington. Such being the fact, II
NAV be interesting to see what be says
Of such violent and ex,rsvagant speeches
as one recently made by Thad. Stevens.
the Chairman OF the Committee OF Ways
and Means and the leading member o.
The Pennsylvania delegation'n Congress.
We quote Mr.. Forney:
can imagine with what Joy jefferson
Davis would resd such sentences as
these, which quote from Mr.. Stevens:

necessity for the public safety, let the
people speak, aud teach them that there

Such sentences As these are texts up
on which every silent enemy in The
North may boldly assal the Government.
And if the Government is broken dowo,
where are we to go: If we do no.

how can he succeed! Let us appeal to
men like Mr.. Stevens, t. men high H.
authority, TO men Of intellect and expe
rience, not to lend their intellect and *
perience to those who desire TO weaken
and destroy the Republic. Ii there
ever was time for harmony Of counsel
and action, that time is now. There
must be patience, confidence and for
bearance. There must be union among
ourselves If we would save the Union.
OCCASIONAL.
That is the counsel Of a Republican
and an office-holler, the Clerk Of the
Senate. But strange as it may seem to
some people, it is nevertheless sound,
sensible and patriotic.

A Coon SUooksTIoN.-The London

the Van Wyck Committee, observes,
that. ''if contractors who take dishonest
advantage Of the public necessity we're

GOT '..M ON THE HIP.

The military ball is rolling. The VIC
tory at TT. Henry will raise the loyal
thermometer several degrees. 1t is
what we have been confidently expect,
ing in that quarter-though We were
fearful that it might not make so grand
a success as we now observe. We look
upon the taking Of that position in
Tennessee as most fortunate. 1t is o
strong strategetic point, and the posses.
sion OF it by the Federal forces will
place the rebels about Western Ken.
lucky and Tennessee in dangerous
position. The impregnability OF Column
bus and Memphis need no longer lie
calculated upon-nay, the rebels will
probably not be in possession Of either
point within orc month.
A hint thrown out in the dispatches
is worthy Of notice We refer to the
rumor that the rebel soldiers were not
trne to the rebel cause. There is o
shadow OF probability about this. We
believe there are plenty Of true loyalists
in the rebel army, who will welcome our
troops and give them all the advantage
they can, consistent with safety. No
doubt that the gun.boats we're perfectly
terrific, and made sad havoc among the
rebel infantry. We esteem it as the
most important victory gained by the
Federal Army since the war commenced.
May it be followed up by still more sig
nal victories.

THE CoMMANDEa OF THE SuMTER.-
Semmes, the commander OF the Sumter,
has written a letter to the London
Times, which proves him to be black
guard. Here is little specimen Of his
letter
"When Mr.. WelIes learns, too, that
or the way bither, burned three Yam
kee ships, and liberated a fourth only
because she had an English cargo on
board, he will probably send six more Of
his doughty war ships after me-that is
to say, if he can spare them from burn
ing corn cribs, and Tightening women
and children along our southern coast"

Promise and Performance.

to interfere with the institution Of slavery
in the States where it exists. l believe

inclination TO do so-- President Lincoln IN
his Inaugural -4ddress.
Thus President Lincoln pledged himself
solemnly to the country. Still holding out
this promise, on the outbreak Of Civil War
at Sumter, he called for IS, 900 troops. He
got them; and more troops and unlimited
grants Of money and credit. A million Of
soldiers, an unequaled navy, and two thou.
sand millions of money were voted 10 him
bv the people, he all tho time pledging him.
self against an Abolition policy.
Congress, at his instance, repeated the
pledge; and declared, with truth, that the
party which desired Abolition was "too in.
significant in number and influence to excite
the serious attention or alarm of any portion
Of the people Of the republic"
All this time. the President was asking for
more men, mare ships, more money, to carry
on the war for the Constitution.
Within few days of the issue Of his Proc.

tod to this act? We shall not undertake to
guess But contemplating it., are we not
right in demanding that the people shall be

demagogues, and the triiing of weak men,
but be made to conform to the popular will

KITCHEN GARDEN AND CooKERY.-l

KITCHEN GARDEN AND CookEhS. no
following sensible remarks are by L. Barry.
at should be borne in mind that con
stan, supply of vegetables, of the best quali'
ty, cannot lie kept up without good man
agement in regard TO successive sowings-
This is especially the case with radishes, peas
and string beans, which are only fit for use
when in II young state, and for short time.
Lettuce is another thing Of which continual
supply of yonng plants should be kept up by
every one who wishes good salad for the
table every day. Too little attention is
given to the culture of vegetables for soup.
Our American housewives give too much at
,en,icn to cake an! confectionery, and far
too little to soups. No dinner table in this
country should lie without its soup. The
Garden should send into the cook regular
daily supply Of small carrots, leeks or on'
ions, parsley, ,urnips, with little such fla
voring h rbs as thyme, sweet mJoran. sum
mer savory, mint, etc."
