can be against US" ofihe sermon and the
enthusiasm Of the audience he writes:
He spoke Of the deliveraneo Of Moses
and the children Of Israel from bondage; !;
and, by a natural transition, referred to the
condition Of slaves in America, and espec-
tally 10 this District. He thanked tho
Lord most fervantly that he had been per
mitted 10 live 10 SEQ this day; 40 years
ago he was tared and feathered In Wash
inQton because he would preach tho Lord
Jesus as he understood IL; sbut now,
shouted the sable speaker ''let Ethiopia lift
up her bands 10 God, for a great good i.
coming out Of this warl---a good for me
for US, and for our people, whom every ma
tion has set its heal uponp His audience
was boistereusly joyous from the beginning
to the end Of the discourse. Ofcourse, The
expression and demonstrations were extrav.
agant-true to the quick fancy and feryeni
hearts Of the race Some rubbed theil
hands 10 glee, some laughed outright, somC

into grotesque attitudes, as il their Joy wa
too intense to be entertained as a staid per

day has Gomez dc; while nearly all were
in tears.
When the speaker thanked the Lord tha
the slaves wero to be free, the jubilee be
came indescFibable. What Babel Of tri

of heaven, and presently interrupted ih
speaker by trying to sing, Il am bound 70

scar across the nose, and tears were steam

He had seen 80 years, perhaps, and the
light gray rags that he gathered about him
told that he had "come out Of the house oI

octoroons-and one or two women, i'm
agined, would attract attention, for their
good looks, in Broadway. But what day
Of sunshine it was TO the stricken souls!--
They seemed 10 think little of the kidnap-

In or out OF the Union !
sT HORACE GREELEY.

It certainly cannot be wrong to view the
transpiring events In the light Of definite
convictions though the convenience of hav.
ing no principles and drifting with the
current os the tide has recently received
many striking Illustrations. Principles are
the artillery. baggage, poutOons, provisions
munitions of great army, which fetteF its
action and impede its progress; the gueril.
las and light armed irregularS who dispense
with these, living on what they can catch,
have great advantage in all that concerns
celerily of movements aud readiness Of eS.
cape. And yet great results have not usu-
ally been achieved in our day by will-o'
wisps.
A very grave question has been raised by
the Shareholders Rebellion concerning the
legal stalHS of regions essentially diSloyal
yet recovered by force of arms to the Union.
1t has been contended on one side that a
seeded Stste.--say North Carolina retains
all her rights as n member Of the Union
that those rights are simply in allegiance
during her rebellion, and are revived by the
mere fact of her restoration by force to the
Republic In the contemplation of this
theory the State was never ont of the Uni
on; the disloyal acts of her Governor, Leg.
slature, Convention, and People. were and
are simple nullities; and whenever the loyal
portion of her people no matter in what
numbers see fit to choose Members Of Con.
gress they are to be received Of course, and
the State thus resumes Of right all that her
disloyal majority vainly sought to repudiate,
The laws of the State, enacted by loyal
legislatures. though but a handful, shall
choose a Legislature, that Legislature will
be entitled to obedience at home and respect
abroad Such is in substance the theory
which maintains that rebel State is still a
member of the Union.
The opposite or territorial theory re-
CARDS Treason as voiding absolutely the po'
Ii ical rights or franchises Of the trsitor, and
this as fully in the case Of State as OF an
individual The soil of a seeded State is
still portion Of the Union; it's people still
owe allegiance TO the Federal Government
but their State Rights, as such, have been
forfeited by State Of treason, and have
lapsed until deliberately revived by some
authentic National act. In other words q
State plunged into rebellion by the forma
action OF her constituted authorities anC
people has placed herself in purely Terri
torial relation to the Federal Government
and is to be regarded and governed accord
iDgly.

Three Little Words.

guished women can afford to be polite; but
many pretendcrs to social distinction, and
young people aspiring to notice, think il

ity to those 10 lower grade of life The
following is in point:
When the Duke of Wellington was sick,
the last thing he took was little tea. On
his servants handing il to him in a sancer,
and asking him if he would have it, the Duke
if you please" These were
his last words. How much kindness and
courtesy is expressed by them! He who
had commanded the greatest armies in Eu
rope and was long accustomed TO the tone
of authority, did not deSpise or overlook
the small cOurtesies of life. All how many
boys do! What a rude tone of command
they often use to their little brothers and
sisters, and sometimes to their mother!-
They order so. This is i'll bred aud unchris-
tian, and shows coarse nature and hard
heart. In all your home talk remember,
IF You please Among your playmates
don't forget "If you please" To all who
wait upon you or serve yen, believe that
'ff you please" will make you better served
than all the cross and ordering words in the
whole dictionary Don't forget these three
little wOrds-"J yoU please"

Give us action-speech no lon ger
Cheer no fellows to the fray
Words are well but deeds are stronger
Out ourselves and lead the way.
Should each man but urge HIS neighbor
go ye forth and reap the plain,"--
Holding hack himself from Tabor
Where would be the rippened grain 1?
When goes up the roar Of battle,
Stoutest voices are but weak
Not of cause and duty pratte---
Let your silent service speak.
Have you wives ?--do soft eyes, pleading,
Hold you with their gentle spell
Other hearts are torn aud bleeding,
Other men have homes as well.
Urge then not the smoking altar,
With such gifts as these to sirew,
If Won feel your bosom falter
When the gods appeal to you.
Point not out patti 10 other
Which your feet refuse to tread
Follow with yonr earnest brothers,
Though it lead among the dead
Even now The forest arches
With the tramp of men are rife
Join your brothers on their marches
Join them in the surging strife.
Whether drummer hoy or colonel,
Matters not be duty done
Battling for truth eternal,
All are equal-rauks are one.
Should you win brave dismission
From your conntry's holy wars,
Yours shall he high commission,
Bearing date among the stars
But bring deeds-not mouthings merely,
Urging others to the fray
You that see the paths so clearly,
Yours the feet should lead the way.

ciduous trees, shrubs aud vines during the

we're but 80 arrests during the year out Of
two and half million visitors.
The pleasure innocently given, the uncOn-
scious education in things beautiful, the

The officers captured atlShiloh who are
here endeavoring to effect general ex-
change of prisoners, conditional upon the
release of Gen. Buckner, deny emphatically
that Gen. Prentiss was surprised at the
battle. They say that Prentiss was the
only officer in the advance who had any
pickets out, he having half regiment sta.
toned mile and qnurter from his lines
on the road to Corinth, which enabled him
TO get bis division ip order of battle and hold
his ground fighting desperately from 8 o.

ternoon, and until the divisions Oh the right

Ell army under Albert Sidney johnson, u.s.
600 strong, marched from Corinth on We'd
nesday April 2, and were four days in reach
ing Shiloh, being greatly impeded by rains
which had filled the low ground and made
it necessary to plank the ros4s 20 get tteir
artillery over. They also say that, so far
as human calculation and foresight could
go, johnson ought to have overwhelmed
Grant and Buell. in detail Morgan, the
Rebel scout, had brought him positive as
suranccs that Bnell could not Join Grant
before Tuesday, the 9th. aud johnson had
made his plans to attack Grant on Friday,
or at furthest on the Saturday previous =
