We repeat, is one Of principle, and not ol
persons or Of sections. We have no quarrel
with the men Of the South as such. They
are our brethren, our friends. We have eat
with them at their tables, they have eat with
us at ours. We are linked together, not
only by. the memories Of common history,
but by the ties of business and by the sane
titles of domestic and social affections. and
we should be thus linked together as one
people. 1t is = fratracidd strife, and we
would fain be relieved from the necessity of
drawing the sword against them. We love
not Cesar less, but Rome more.
Tho war is none of our making. gye have
done nothing TO invite or justify it. We
have claimed no authority to meddle with
slavery In the States whore It exists. We
have simply exercised our American right
of free discussion and carrying our princi.
Piles to the ballot box. Believing slavery to
be wrong, morally, politically, economically
and socially, we have said so. This is all.
Defeated at the election, the South has re-
belled. They have protested against the
doctrine that maiorities have the right to
rule, and unable longer to control the gov
crnment, they have resolved to disorganize
and destroy it. They have de6ed the gov
ernment and commenced the uar. The doc
trine Of liberty, the principles Of Justice, the
government reared by our fathers toll and
cemented by their blood, standing amid the
thrones and despotisns of the world, the
grand assertions alike of the peoples right
and the peoples ability to govern, these, and
the flag which has symbolized them, we arc
called upon to surrender. Being forced by
the South to choose between war and sur
render of these, we say let the war come,
and may God defend the right. -v

opinions were formed with deliberation and

But IL such were his words, what shall be
said Of his deeds! He gave not only his in
fuence and his powers of persuasion to the
preservation Of the Republic, but he gave
that manly form and those vigorous powers
and offered up his life in the sacred cause.
Few men have warmer hearts or stronger
domestic attachments--his home was the
dearest place on earth to him-but he babe

his bravery and daring in the final struggle
at the stormins Of Donelson that cost him
his life--are familiar to you al, and have
passed into the record of history. And now
his memory ,henceforth shall be treasured IN
every loyal heart. His example and his
death shall give new sacredness and honor
to the cause in which he fell martyr.
Capt. Cloutman went forth to this conflic.
from sense Of duty, and with the clearest
apprehension that he was taking his life in
his hands, and with the expectation thai he
would be called to the sacrifice. But his
faith never wavered. His courage never
faltered. The very language Of the great
Apostle expresses the feelings that swelled
his breast: II am now ready to be offered,
and the time of my departure is at hand
I have fought good fight, have finished
my course-I have kept the faith" The
cause Of christian civilization, of human pro-
gress and Of liberty is sanctified by his
death. The blood Of our martyrs, as in the
earlier conflicts Of christianity, shall be the
seed Of the church, and purer and bright
er age shall be the heritage of the future.
With these memories and these thoughts
and with the consolation and support of our
holy religion may the bereaved family find
grace and strength in their sorrow and af-

An English millionaire.

Of all men who have sought for enjoyment
in riches, perhaps the case Of the late Will
liam Beckford. of FonthII Abbey, in Eng
land, is the most remarkable Tnheriting a
large fortune, he at first resided in Portugal,
where he lived in monastery, ''the ceiling
OF which was gilded and painted, the A oor

texture; the tables decked with superb
ewers, and basins of chased silver" "a

were heaped up loads of game and venison;
on the other side were vegetables and fruit
in endless variety. Beyond long line Of
stores extended row Of ovens, and close to
them, hillocks of the finest wheaton -four,
rocks of sugar, jars Of the purest oil, and
pastry in various abundance The mag
nifoent saloon in which he dined was cover
ed pictures, and lighted up with profusion
of wsx tapers in services of silver, and the
banquet usually consisted of rarities and
delicacies Of every season from distant coun-
tries. When in England, he pulled down
splendid mansion. erected by his father at
cost Of nearly quarter of million of mo-
ney, to build an Abbey, whose towers, like
the tower of Babel, might reach to heaven.
A wall ne Early twenty miles in circumference
enclosed his msnsion and grounds; and so
costly were the furnishings of the place, that
its glories transcened those of Oriental splen-
dor. One who saw the Abbey and ground
says: "Gold and silver vases and cups are
sonumerous here, that they dazzle the eye !;
and when one looks around at the cabinets,
candelabra, and ornaments which decorate
the rooms, we may almost imagine that we
stand in the treasury of some Oriental prince
whose riches consist entirely in vessels of
gold and silver, enriched with precious
stones Of every sort, from the ruby to the
diamond" Such was Beckford, of Fonthill
Abbey. with his princely mansion, and an
income Of 100000 ye,r But was he

RAcHEL's PINE APPLE HEART.-Rachel, the celebrated French tragedienne, was as remarka- ble for her meanness as for her prodigality-ex- hibiting indeed, the strangest contrasts of char acter and conduct. Between the vanity which induced her to spend money and the avarice which inclined her to keep it, she was always Tn mental a6liction. A contemporary writer gives the following instance of this unlucky clash of propensities:
 "Oue day she gave grand dinner; the Duke of Noallies, the Dukede San Teodoro, Prince Walderer, M. Scribe NJ. Emile Angler, NJ. Pon- sard, &c.,, were among the guests. She ordered her carriage, drove to critics residence, and asked him to go to Chevet's with her to chose her dessert, Chevet showed her his finest fruit. She selected what suited her. Chevet suggested that she had better place pine apple in the center. What is the price?' Seventy francs.' . That is too r-but-can't you-leti t% Che vet laughed, and agreed to let the pine apple, to appear at the dessert. The dinner was superb ; she spent $500 on it. At the dessert the pine apple made splendid appearance. The critic who knew the history of the pine apple mali cously said to the Duke de San Teodoro, next to whom he sat, We have forgotten the pine apple.' True enough is it not to be cut :? Pass this way-we'll see.' The Duke rose took sharp knife, and cut the pine off the stalk. Mile. Rachel saw him cut it off. She gave scream which could not have been more poig- nant had tho knife been plunged into her own bosom, and gave the Duke one of her terrible Hermoine looks. Mile Rachel has pine-ap- pie instead of heart,' said NJ. Ponsard."

k This description of General o. M. Mitchelrs military management is given by the correspond snt of . western paper: @ sa | He is fond of sensation, dash and surprises. His blows have fallen on unsuspeeting places at unguarded moments, confounding and bewilder- ing the enemy, and making his own troops jubi. lant. There is not commanding general in the army, we believe, who labors so constantly, assi- duously and unceasingly as Mitchell. He plans his expeditions with great skill and forethought studies the country infinitely for its geographical and typographical character; makes use of all practicable and authentic information, from what
 ever source obtained; learns the force and de. fences of contemplated attack; the proclivities and satecedsnts of the inhabitants keeps bis
 own counsels, and. finally, when the plot is ripe ior execution, astonishes and dazzles all by some
 nriihant and successful maneuvrs which, to the
 uninltiated, locks like unadvised and needless velepment of . carefully planned and matnrely considered scheme" - --.''''' "

THE SHADES OF LAuaHrRR-Snce Adam, who invented laughter-doubtless when he awoke and saw Eve by his side-no two men have laughed alike. The laugh is as distinct as the voice; perhaps more so, for the laugh of a full. bearded man is very different from that which
 he laughs when he has been clean shaven by 8 barber. Women laugh differently from men, children from women, and some writers even profess to detect national peculiartles in the laugh as for instance, say they, the t'renchman laughs with hls teeth, like the apes. The Abbe Damasceni thought he had discovered, in the various enunciations of laughter, sure guide to the temperments of the laughers. Thus he said fla ha ha belonged to choleric man, He he Ae to the phlegmatic, Hi hihi to the melancholic, and flo 10 to to the sanguine. It is true that men laugh commonly in 4 and o, and women in E and i and it is singular that with all peo- pie. even the eockneys the aspirate II precedes the vowel.
