believe, with you, that abolitionism
is dying out. 1t is high time that politi-
cal mountebanks should give place to hon
est men. We have no politics in the ar
my. 1t is the Union, right or wrong.
The people of the North and of the South
have no great issue at stake between them.
The misrepresentation of the sentiment of
the people of the North, backed by bad
whiskey, has fired the southern heart so
that the weaker brother hung his Union
harp upon the willow of maudlin, mock
philanthropy, and went TO rattling Dix

that abolition wilow-that weeping will
low-did not represent the North. Her
symbol is the pine, and truly the emblem
of freedom--as the free winds of Heaven
strikes her she seems to echo to the
South, the soil grew on is free soil, and
you'd be better off if yours was. But
every one to his notion-only don't circu-
late any of your Eastwood arrangements

The SIMPLE SEcRET.-Twenty clerks
in store, twenty hands in a printing Of
flee, twenty men in village, all want to
get along in the world, and all expect TO
do so. One OF the clerks will rise to be
partner and make a fortune. One Of
the compostors will own newspaper and
become an influential citizen. One Of the
apprentices will become master builder.
One of the villagers will get a handsome
farm and live like patriarch. But which
is destined to be the lucky individual 7
Lucky9 There is no luck about it. The
thing is almost as certain as the rule Of
Three. The young fellow who distances
his competitors is he who masters his
business, who preserves his integrity, who
lives clearly and purely, who never gets
in debt, who gains friends by deserving
them, and puts his money into savings
bank. There are some ways TO fortune
that look shorter than this dusty old high,
way. But the staunch men of the com
munity, the men who achieve something
really worth having, good fortune, good
name, and serene old age, all go this
road.

AN INTERESTING INcIDENT.-When
Gen. Mcclellan lett the city at six o'clock
in the evening, with his father-in-law, and
Gen. Marcy, and ono other person, the
little child of the General-in- Chief, with
the young mother, witnessed the scene
from an upper window. The infant
wrapped in the national flag, and with a
childish smile, kissed with his tiny fingers
a hearty God speed to one on whom mill
ions of eys are now conferred. If the
prayers of patriotic men are answered
father and child, husband and wife, viii
soon be reunited, and the great army o.
the Union everywhere victorious.

A Philosophic Darkey.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette, writing from the Cumberland Riv-
er, gives the following humorous account
Of colloquy with philosophic darkey:
l noticed upon the hurricane deck to-
day an elderly darkey with very philo-
sophleal and retrospective cast of counte-
nance, squatted upon his bundle toasting
his shlns against the chimney, and appa-
rently plunged into state of profound
meditation. Finding upon inquiry that
he belonged TO the Ninth Illinois. one of
the most gallantly behaved and heavy
losing regiments at the Fort Donelson bat
Tie and part Of which was aboard, be-
gan questioning him upon the subject
His philosophy was so much in the Fal-
staffian vein that will give his views in
his own words rs near as my memory
serves me:
"Were YOU in the fghtw
Had little taste of it, sa.'
"Stood your ground, did you!"
"No, sa, | runs"
"Run at the first fire, did youv
Yes, sa, and wo'd hab run soona had
l knowd it war comm"
"Why, that wasn't very creditable TO
your courage"
Dat isn't in my line, sa, cookin's my
perfeshun."
"Well, but have you no regard for
your reputation"
Regulations muffin to me by de side
oh life.'
Do you consider your life worth moro
than other people's?"
It's worth more to me, sa."
"Then you must value it very highly"
4" Yes, sa, j does, more dan all dis
wurld, more dan million OBJ dollars, sa,
for what would dat be wuth to man
wild de bref out OBJ him. Selfpreserba-
shun am de fust law wild me-"
by why should you act upon diff
ferent rule from other men ~
"Cause different men set different val
ue on dar lives-mine is not in de mar
ket."
But if you lost it, you would have
the satisfaction of knowing that you died
for your country"
What satisfacshun would dat be TO
me when de power OBJ feein' was gomez"
"Then patriotism and honor are moth
ing to you!"
Muffin whatever, sal regard dem
as among de vanities."
g If our soldiers were like you, traitors
might have broken up the government
without resistance"
"Yes, 50, dar would hab been no help
for it. | wouldn't pot my life in de scale
gainst any gobernment dat eber existed,
for no gobernment would replace de loss
to me-"
DO you think any of your company
would have missed you if you had been
killed ~
May be not, sa-a dead white man
amt much to desc sogers, lei alone dead
nigga-but I'd missed myself, and dat
was de pint wild me-"
1t is safe TO say that the dusky corps
of that African will never darken the field
of carnage.

SALT IN SnIAwAssEE CoUNTY.-The
Owosso american states that Salt Com

for the manufacture of salt. 1t has long
been known, from unmistakable indica-

at that point at about the same depth as
the salt wells now in operation on the
Saginaw river. An amount has already
been subscribed, and partly paid in, suf-
ficient TO sink well six hundred feet in
depth, if necessary, of six-inch bore.

IMPORTANT IF TRUE.-The Arkansas
correspondent of the ST. Louis RepuJli-
can asserts "that a note has been re-

if we were not driven out of this State
in ten days, he would issue an order for
the Confederates to lay down their arms
and leave the State"

The New rgcbeI Merrirnac.

Mr. Peter Dolan, formerly an employee in
the Charleston Courier Office, has managed to es'
cape from the South by virtue of his being a
British subject. The Philadelphia Press tells
bis story and we make the following extracts
Sunday three weeks, [ was on board the
Wcyrimdc being anxious to get look at her
before | came away. She is very formidable
vessel, constructed with much skill. Her wood
work was then finished On the following day
she was taken across the river to the Tredegar
Works to have her plating put on. The plates
are about ten feet long, and ten inches IN width
They are punched entirely through with holes
for the insertion Of the bolts, and will overlap
one another, when in position.
Like Merrmac No. l. she is formidable ram
but is somewhat smaller than the great original
which, in every other respect, she greatly re-
sembles Her roof runs up TO peak, of such
a height that the sides rises at sharp angle.
When ironed, and her machinery put in, her
guards will probably not be over one foot above
the water. Being much smaller, she will be far
more manageable than Merrmac the first. Her
guards were about six feet above the waters
edge The ram was well beaked, reaching
about four feet above the deck, and extending
out six or eight feet.

yet on board, its character was no secret The
entire public having access to the vessel 1t was
easy to be seen what number of guns she was
to carry, as well as their approximate character.
From other information, however, can state
that she will carry one bow, one stern and three
side guns. They are to be of the same descrip-
tion as those which are mounted at Fort Dar-
ling, their ability to pierce our iron-armored
vessels having, in the attack upon that fortress
been exemplfed--at least to the satisfaction of
Secesh. The balls to be used are steel-pomted,
and were being made on the day Of our depar-
ture, as well as previously.
She is no doubt completed by this time, and
ready for offensive operations, as a very large
gang of workmen are employed upon her. She
is the pride of the Richmonders, who rely upon
her for the defence of the city as much as upon
their armies. 1t is boastingly declared, and
universally believed by them, that she wW S~eep
the James Rirer. While this is undoubtedly
bombast, it is certain she has one feature of
formidableness not possessed by Merrimac No,
her armor-plating extends JelOW the Vater-
kNe
Singular enough her crew is to consist only
of the crew of Merrimac the first The men
were quartercd on Thirteenth-street, a few doors
from the Examiner Office, in a building styled
