Minority Report of Border State Rep
resentaffvcS.


WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE minority of
the border state representatives, in their reply
to the presidents emancipation proposition,
say they cannot, consistently with their own
sense of duty to the country, under the cir
cumstances which surround them, concur in
the response of the majority, who do uot en-
dOrse that policy. The minority believe the
government should be upheld and sustained
by all the influences and by influential men
in all sections and of all parties; and
that this is essentially necessary to put
down this rebellion and preserve the Union
and constitution. They understand the pres
idents appeal was made to them for the pur-
pose of securing this result. They meet the
presidents address in the spirit in which it
was made as loyal Americans, and declare to
him and to the world there is no sacrifice
they are not ready to make to save the gov
eminent and institutions of our fathers; that
they, though few in numbers, will permit no
men from the north or the south to go farther
than they in the accomplishment of the great
work before us that in order to carry out
these views they will so far as may be in their
power, ask the people of the border states
calmly, deliberately, and fairly, to consider
the presidents recommendation. We are,
they say in conclusion, the more emboldened
to assume this position from the fact, now be-
come history, that the leaders Of the southern
rebellion have offered to abolish slavery
amongst them as a condition to foreign inter-
vention in favor Of their independence as a
nation. If they can give up slavery to de-
'stroy the Union, we can surely ask our peo-
pie to consider the question Of emancipation
to save the Union.
This is signed by representatives NOEL of
Mo-, Clemens of Tenn, Brown, Blair and
Whaley of Va, Casey of Ky, aud Fisher of
Delaware. 1t is said that representative
Maynard and senator Henderson express
views equally if not more favorable.

Pretty Women.

A pretty woman is one of the institutions
OF the. country-an angel in dry goods and
glory. She makes sunshine, blue sky, and
happiness wherever she goes. Her path isin
delicious roses, perfume and beauty; she is
a sweet poem, written in rare curls, and
choice taste, and good principles. Men
stand up before her as so many admiration
points! Her words float around the ear like
music, birds of paradise songs, or chimes of
Sabbath bells. Without her, society would
lose its truest attractions, the church its firm
reliance, and young men the very best Of
comforts and company. Her influence and
generosity restrain the vicious, strengthen
the weak. raise the lowly, nanncl-shirt the
needy, and strengthen the iaint-hcartcd.-
And wherever you find the yirtuous woman
you also find fireside boquets, clean clothes,
order, light, good living. gentle hearts, mu-
sic, and model institutions generally. She is
the flower Of humanity, a very Venus IN
dimity, and her inspiration is the breath Of
heaven.

Tho Battle Of tho Seven Pinos.

The more We hear OF the battle of the
Seven Pines and the nearer we can arrive at
the real character Of that encounter, the more
terrible and grand It rises in its proportions.
We take the following from the correspon.
dence Of the Tribune.
SAvAGR's STATION, June 4, 1862.
The victory of the Seven Pines was vic
tory that Napolcon's Old Guard might well
have been proud Of. The more it is uncov.
cred from the glade, the ti.nbered thicket,
and the swamp, the larger, the more heroic
it is. Why, you men Of the North, who
have brothers. sons and ncphcws here-you

and best beloved kindred fought beneath the
black shadows Of tho Seven Pines-how many
rebels, think you, these heroes oycrcamc on

that on Saturday morning the Commanders,
Iongstreet, Lee, and Others, told the rebel
troops that there were but 5000 Yankees en-
camped at the Seven Pines, and announced
that il was the intention to fall upon them
with an overwhelming force-kill upon the
ground all that could b. killed-and drive
the res, into the Chickahominy and drown
them. He said positively that the attack
uron us was made by 10000 men.-that 1t

Howard's Brigade.

Meager as the accounts Of the great battle
before Richmond are in details. enough is
known TO show that some of the most bril-.
liant fighting was done by the first brigade,
Richardson's division, commanded by Brig.
Gen. o. o. Howard, Of Maine. The brig.
ade was composed Of the 6lst and Gath New
York, Slst Pennsylvania, and 9Th New
Hampshire. At the first fire Of the enemy,
after the brigade got into position, Col.
James Miller of the Pennsylvania was killed,
and the advance of the Slst temporarily
checked. The 6lst and Gath New York nd.
yanced in line, and throughout the whole
battle behaved US cody as il on parade.
The whole brigade paradcd for tho fight
less than 1000 men, and its loss in killed and
wounded amounted to the fearful sum Of
$50. The heroic Howard was twice wound
cd, and his horse shot under him. When
wounded the second time, he rode in front OF
the Glst New York, and simply held up the
bleeding stump of his shattered right arm.
The whole line responded with u shout of
rage, and charged with the bayonet. This
was tho decisive charge of the day. The
fighting of Howard's brigade and the Excel
sior brigade saved tho battle, and gave time
for Mcclellan to bring up his supports and
out maneuyro the enemy.-Iribune.

Strong Characters.

Strength Of character consists of two
things: power Of will and power Of seli.re.
straint. Ii requires two things, therefore,
for its existence, strong feelings and strong
command over them. Now Il is hero we
make great mistake, We mistake strong
feelings Tor strong character. a man who
bears all before him, before whose frown do
mestics trcmble. and whose bursts Of fury
makes the children Of the household quake
because he has his will obeyed and his own
will in all things, we call him q strong man.
The truth Is, that is the weak man It is his
passions that arc strong; he, mastered by
them, is weak you must measure the strength
Of man by the power Of the feelings hs
subdues, not by the power Of those who SUD-
due him. And hence composurc is.ery often
the highest result Of strength. Did VIC nov

girl on his knees, and she nestled her bright
young head on his shoulder, chattering away
to him, and thinking what good kind man
Squire Dunham was!
The landlord remained some time with his
tenants. Many kind words and promises
cheered them, for that little head resting
softly against his heart, and warmed and
gladdened it; and before he left, 'Sqire Dun
ham bent down and kissed the little girl, and
lett two ten.dollar gold pieces in her chubby
hand. He went home that night happier
man than he had been for years, sure that
three hearts beat lighter because he was in

And the lesson that Stephen Dunham
learned that night goin home in the cars, took
deep root in his heart, and brought forth
much fruit.

Malicious Meanness.

An unfavorable slough may be got up in q
rural district by man who combines eau
ton with malignity, and all in such q way
that you cannot lay hold Of the malicious
but cautious man. Let us suppose q new
doctor is coming to the village. You, the
old doctor. may 60 about the village and beg
people to try to receive him ciyilly; he may
not be such bad man after all. The truth
probably is that nobody suppOses him bad
man, or intends to receive him otherwise than
ciyilly but few days injudiciously spent
may excite prejudice which will take some
time to allay. Some one speaks in praise Of
an acquaintance. You may reply, in hes
itating way, Yes; he is rather nice fellow;
but-wcll, | don't want to say any thing
bad of any one.' In this way you have not
committed younself. but you have given a
worse impression than you could probably
have conveyed by any definite charge you
could have made against the man. Honest
and manly folks, indeed, may possibly call
you a sneak. What do you care? Some
muscular christian may kick you. In that
case you will have the comfort of knowing
that it unquestionably serves you right.

FLOWERS ARE NOT TRIrLEs.-Flowers bloom
in beauty not only in the gardens of the
wealthy, but in the field on the side of the
highway and on the mountain slopes. They
are almost every where, and yet they arc not
tribes. God has made them BEAUTIFUL
There are no unfinished flowers; no pencil
could make them more perfect. In the
greenhouses, in the garden, by the wayside,
and in the gullies they are charming. Their
life is short but beautiful. The guilty do
not love these sweet emblems Of innocence,
and thieves do not want them in their button
holes. In the early spring, summer heat,
and autumn frost they greet us. The child
runs to the meadows and woods, to gather
them. and the young girl braids them in her
hair. The old touch them tenderly. know.
