TmosE Sue DEvILs.-The Boston IraU-
eier learns that young BOstonian, some
time before the war broke out, held the
position of clerk in Northern Georgia.
Suddenly shut off from all communication
with bis widowed mother, sister and
friends, some time elapsed before lie could
obtain authority to pass through the Con,
North, but at last he succeeded. At Nor
folk he was taken down with consump-
ton, with no friend near to care for and
console him. Hearing of his case, several
ladies' of Norfolk took charge of him,
supplied his wants, and took from his lips
the last requests and farewells of the dy-
ing boy, which they transmitted in an af-
fecting letter to his mother. Such con.
duct is indeed worthy of all praise.

SrrrNEsSED.-Th Secretary Of War,
the liberal, patriotic and heroic Stanton,
who was seized with n big scare" on
the retreat Of Gen Banks and ordered out
the entire militia of number Of States
for the protection Of his own precious
person, has muzzled another editor
Jehn W. KEGS, Esq, editor Of the Circle
vile (Ohio) W0tchman, who has been ar
rested and his office forcibly closed.
We know nothing more about the case,
but presume that Mr.. KEGS is another
Democratic martyr to the absolute tyran-
ny prevalent in Stanton's department
a little while longer Stanton may be per-
United to act the petty despot, but day
of reckoning is coming and the people
will, ere long, assert the dignity of man
hood and Independence and hurl from
power those who seek to deprive them of
their liberties. God speed the time!

NEGROES IN ILLINOIS Illinois is emf
nently sound on the negro question. She
has no disposition to allow the contra
bands to come within her borders to COM
pete with white labor. She cherishcs the
sentiment of her lamented statesman,
" that this Government was made on the
white basis, by white men, for the benefit
of white men and their posterity forever"
Her people recently voted upon the ques-
ton of the adoption of the new Constitu-
ton formed by Convention held last
spring. The following provisions, voted
upon separately, were adopted by large
majority:
No negro or mulatto shall migrate to or set
tie in the State of Illinois after the adoption
of this Constitution.
No negro shall have the right of suffrage, or
hold any office in this State.
The General Assembly shall pass all laws
necessary to carry into effect the provisions of
this Il! ticle.
The vote of Springfield President Lin
coins residence,) was as follows On the
LIST, yeas 1929, nays 1888 =; on the Cd, yeas
2O38, nays 90; on the Sd, yeas 1894,
nays 80. Evidently the people of Spring
field have but little sympathy with the
Presidents love for the negro.

SCRAP OF lIIsToRY.-Let the people re-
member, when Abolitionists accuse Dem
ocrats with being Disunionists, that the
first petition for the dissolution Of the
Union ever presented to Congress was
from Hayerhill, Massachusetts, and that
two members Of Lncoln's Cabinet-Sew-
ard and Chase-voted for it! This well
known fact should seal the lips of the
Abolition Union howlers.
