FROM WASHINGTON.
Impending Veto OF the Confscation BilI
Cheap Magnantmity OF the House IN
Aboltshtng tho Mileage System.

AAMpehuImR v etO OF the COmhscntfOM Bill,
Cheap Magnanimity of the House IN
Aboltshing the Mileage System.
WAsHINGToN, July l6.-The news of the
impending veto of the confscation bill creates
great discussion to night All the conserva-
tives are in exstacies, while the earnest friends
of thorough and vigorous war policy are
chagrined. If the tender-foote policy in
council were made up by increased vigor in
the field, the country would have little reason
to complain. Many who voted for confisca-
ton state that they did it rather as an earnest
of what should be done to the rebels, than as
promising any practical blow at the rebellion.
The House exercised an extraordinary riece
of cheap magnanimity to-day, in abolishing
the mileage system, root and branch, by an
enormous vote. They knew it woul1 be put
safely to sleep in the Senate. SIGMA

were to fall on the General and kin him. Be-
ing asked if Marquee revealed to him the per-
sons who composed the assassination, he said
they were Arthur Raymond, Absdie, jim
Brooks, and other names which he does not
recollect at present, but the name of Boullosa,
who told him in order to convince the accused
more fully, You know that have never un-
dertaken anything yet without being success
full conduct all this so do not be afraid"
Being asked if he did not hear other persons
express the same sentiments as Boulloss and
Marquee, he said no. Being asked if he did
not obtain more Information from the said
MARQUEE and Boullosa, be answered e That
Bouliosa, in order tn keep the matter secret,
told him not to speek to any other person
about the plot; that they would recruit the
men suitable to carry out their plan, and ad-
vlsed the accused not to mention anything to
st. John Ducoing; that they knew Ducoing
to be chivalrous man, but that he refused 10
associate himself in their conspiracy. Being
asked if, on the advice of Boullosa. he had
communicated this to Ducoing, he replied no.
Being asked if he knew the place where the
conspirators assembled, he said he did not
know, but their meetings were on ST. Peters
street, on the Congo Eqasre, or in the same
street on Jackson square. The Lieutenant
having properly distributed his police to de-
tect the conspirators, they discontinued until
some future time The accused said he had to
explain himself more ainutely for the reasons
which induced Marquee to arrest him. The
accused thinks that MARQUEE, being dissatisfied
with the answer he had given him II the
morning, wanted to vindicate himself and
seized the opportunity, one night, when the ac-
cused was under the influence of liqror, to
have him arrested; that Marquee passed Oh
one side and night policeman on the other,
whom he supposed to be Union man, and
whom he believed to be Gonzalez. Hearing
Long live Beauregard," the accused was ac-
costed by Gonzalez, who told him he had just
received an order to arrest him, and which
was done. The accused was then taken to the
second district police station. The accused

Provost Marshal for ignorance of the English
language, but he had given cognizance of the
same to another person, who could at some
other day communicate it to whom proper.

Great suffering Among the Poor.


The condition of the people of New Orleans
is terrible. The suffering among the poor for
the want of provisions amounts almost to
famine. The subject has become SO important
and the want so pressing that Gen. Butler has
resolved on a plan which will give al least
temporary relief and is at once creditable to
his head and heart. He has directed Col. Tur-
ner, chief commissary, to distribute gratuitous-
ly large amount of -four and other provisions
from the commisary department, and intends
to make the property of Secessionists actively
engaged in the war repay the government for
the outlay. We are now more than ever anx-
ious for he river to be opened, as we learn that
there are fifty transports above Vicksburg
waiting for the opening cf the river, so that
they can bring down their cargoes of proyi-
sions. By the news which we receive to-day
from Vicksburg we indulge strong hopes that
that happy contamination cannot be tar dis
tant.

The following memorial, which is being cir
culated through the city, and has already re-
| ceived the signsture of thousand Of the best
and most respectable citizens Of New Orleans,
does not look as though well disposed people
feel badly oppressed by the man who has done
more for the regeneration of New Orleans
than any one ever did before.

Rapid Degeneration of The People of the Extreme
South.
From the New Hork Herald.
The general has been "down among the dead
men, to-day, and has caused an awful rafting
among the dry bones" He had hardly fin
ished with Mrs. Phillips, when, by his order,
German, ne med Fidel Keller, was brought
before him, charged with bringing the United
States authorities into contempt and desecra-
ting the names of the heroic dead, by exhibit
ing to the gaze of the rude and hesrtless the
skeleton of human being, which he had
labelled " Chickahominy," and had intimated
that it was all that was left of " ankee
soldier slain at that battle. Keller claimed
that be had committed the act through ignor-
ance, and am inclined to think that he told
the truth but the crime was so Tepugnant to
every feeling of decency that to save the peC-
pie from degenerating into semi barbarism it
was necessary 10 punish the ofeDse with no
little severity. He was therefore sentenced to
two years hard labor at ship Island. When
this case was finished a similar one was ready.
A Mr.. j. w. Andrews, member Of the Lou
isiana Club, was convicted Of having worn a
cross which he asserted was made from the
thigh bone Of Yankee soldier. For this he
was sentenced to the same penalty as Keller.
The annexed orders are good expression OF
Gen. Buffers feelings on acts so subversive of
Christianity and humanity as the above:

Gen. Butler has seized the dwelling house
of the traitor Gen. Twggs, Trytania street,an
is having it prepared for his occupation as a
residence. He has also confscaGed all the other
property of Gen. Twiggs, and also that of Col.
A. G. Myers, the son-in-law of Twiggs.
Myers was an officer in the regular army of
the United States and is now Quartermastee

be was presented with three elegant swords
one by Congress, one by the State of Georgia
and one by citizens of Augusts, Georgia. The
night of the 23d of April, just before the feet
passed the forts, Gen. Twiggs carried his
swords and his silver plate to the house of one
of the wealtfiest and most aristocratic families
| in the city, and, as the members of the family
say, presented them to one of their number.

The swords are very beautiful and of superb

In the city OF New Orleans and on the 18th
day and month of June, 1862, before the Lieu
tenant of Police, Oscar Bertin Pauline Guizo-
net, appeared Rafael Pulgaron, native of
Juanabacoa, Island of Cuba, aged thirty years,
citizen cad inhabitant of this city during
the last seven years. On being asked if he
knew why he was arrested, answered, pre-
sumed it was on account of conversation he
had with officer MARQUEE, who invited him to
form part in conspiracy the object of whicn
was the assassination of Gen. Butlo- On be-
| ing asked where and on what day the said
/ Marquee communicated this plot to him, he
answered that Tuesday of last week MARQUEE
met him between the vegetable market and
/ the French fish market, and taking him ty the
/ arm he invited him to join company which
was about to be got Up with view to assassi-
nate Gen. Butler; and that he replied he would
never cease to be Southern man, but would
never debase himself to kill any person, either
big or small; that Marquee continued lis en-
| treaties, manifesting to him that as soon as he
would be initiated in this association, he would
have money, and would never be in want OF
one or two dollars every day. They would be

Farmers, be Sociable.

The position and duties of farmers
somewhat hinder their sociabilily. Scat
tered over the hills and valleys Of tho
country, often miles apart, and engaged
in solitary field labor, day after day, aud
month after month, il is not so easy to
keep up much intercourse with general So
ciety. Mechanics, merchants, manufactu-
rers, and professional men, naturally con.
centrate in cities aud villages, where they
can enjoy daily exchange of opinion and
information, and pleasant courtesies. This
stimulates thought, awakeDs ambition for
improvement, and adds much to the gen
eral happiness Of life. The longer farm
ers live in solitary way, the less likely
are they to change their habits. 1t is not
surprising that in many cases they become
still and awkward in their manners. dull
in intellect, and ungcnal, if not morose in
feeling.
But we are not, on this account, going
to depreciate the farmers lot: it is, in
many respects, the best under the sun.
Yet it can not be denied that evils lie in
the direction we have indicated; and Mey
should be guarded against. 1t is not a
good thing for any body to make slave
of himself: to jog around as in tread
mill, year after year, with little or no ro-
lief, or rational enjoyment, and the farmer
should not follow his work too doggedly.
We would not have him drudge so hard
that he can not enjoy the society of his
family every day. He ought TO be the
leader and benefactor of his household in
their social intercourse. His conversa-
tion at the table, and around the evening
lamp, should be instructive and elevating
to sons and daughters. His genial hos
pitality should attract neighbors and
friends to visit him often and enliven the
converse of the fireside. And lie, with
his family, should Systematically keep up
acquaintance with other good families,
far and near.
The Farmers Clubs, which are estab-
lished in many districts, exert good So
cial influence so far as they 60, but they
are not enough; the intercourse Of fami-
lies should be superaddcd, MS this contrib
utes very much to the enjoyment and res
pectabilty of agricultural life 1t light
ems the burden Of daily toll, relieves its
solitarincss, awakcns thought, and pro-
notes general improvement. Where this
is done, farmers children, both sons and
daughters, will be less inclined to long af-
ter the excitemerts and gayeties of town
life, and more of them will be content
with the calling in which they were born.

WASTED TIME.

Alone in the dark and silent night,
With the heavy thought of vanished year,
When evil deeds come back to sight,
And good deeds rise with welcome cheer;
Alone with the specters Of the past,
That come with the old years dying chime,
There glooms one shadow dark and vast
The shadow of Wasted Time.
The chances Of happiness cast away,
The opportunities never sought,
The good resolves that every day
Have died in the impotence Of thought;
The slow advance and the backward step
In the rugged path we have strycn to climb;
How they furrow the brow and pale the lip,
When we talk of Wasted Time.
What are we nowY what had we been
Had we boarded time as the miscr's gold,
Striving our need to win
Thro the summers heat and the winters cold
Shrinking from naught that the world could do !;
Fearing naught but the touch of crime
Laboring, struggling, all seasons through,
And knowing no Wasted Timer
Who shall recall the vanished years?
Who shall hold back this ebbing tde
That leaves us rcmorse, and shame and tears,
And washes away all things beside2
Who shall give us the strength, cen now,
To leave forever this holiday time,
To shake off this sloth from heart and brow,
And battle with Wasted Time?
The years that pass come not again,
The things that die no life renew,
But cen from the rust Of his canl1ering chain
golden truth is glimmering through.
That to him who learns from errors past,
And turns away with strength sublime,
And makes each year outdo the last,
There is no Wasted Time.

George F. Trains Last Speech.

The eloquent Young American, George
f. Train, recently laid the American side
of the question before London audience,
in n style which will be remembered by
John Rull. From his lecture we clip:
GAS you have heard your side, should
you like to hear mine9 (Yes.) Will
you let me talk it right out, just as feel ?
(Yos.)
"Well, then, l think that the war with
America is the worst thing that could
happen to your empire. America can
shut her nations gate and live; close
England's door and she must starve.
(No.) You are in no position to 60 to
war. England is not military nation.
(OhD You have always fought with
hired soldiers; Hessians in America,
Swiss and Germans in the Crimea. To
day you have not forty thousand fighting
men in your empire, and what are forty
thousand soldiers fighting for a shilling q
day, against our two millions who fight
fer the glory of the land! You are in
no position for war, never so weak as now,
and America never so strong. (Oh! and
laughter.
"Here are some obstinate truths. 1t
looks as though England was short of
corn this year. Is that so9 (Yes.) And
Ireland is short of potatoes7 (Yes.)

land; famine means the importation OF

can you get IL? From France9 No;
she is short, and the Faubourgh San An

short this year, and the Baltic and Black

America means starvation prices for bread

fore did famine in corn and famine in cot
ton occur tho same year. England, then,
can not 90 to war this year.
Then look to Canada. Not gun, a
fort or defense on thousand miles of

town9 Can you depend upon the Orange
men of Toronto? The French Canadian
of Montreal? And are you sure you
have not some belligerents nearer home
than the Canadian shore9 Do you not
think that workmen crying for bread make
good material for belligerents? And for
your sake, look at Ireland before the war
