ointion 70 WHICH You f6f<f has been o..
Etehtat'ously proclaimed as the triumph
Of principle which the people of the
Southern States regard as ruinous to
them. The effect of these measures was
foretold, and may now be seen in the in.
durated state Of Southern feeling.
TO these causes, Mr.. President, and
not TO orr omission TO vote for the .reso.
hutton recommended by you, we solemn
ly believe we are to attribute the terrible
esrnestness of these In arms against the
government and the continuance Of the
war. Nor do we lperniit us to say, Mr..
PRESIDENT, with all respect for you'll agree
that the institution OF slavery is .sthe
lever OF their power" but we are of the
opinion that the lever Of their power
is the apprehension that the power of d
common government, created for CONF
mon and equal protection to the interest
of all, will be welded against the insti-,
tutions of the Southern States.
There is one other idea in your address
we feel called on to notice. After STATING
the act of your Reputation Of, Gen. Hun.
ter's proclamation you add.
et' IN repudiating 1T gave dissatis
faction, II not offence, to many whose
support the country cannot afford to lose.
And this is not the end OF IT. The pres
sure In this direction is still upon me,
and is increasing. BY conceding what
now ask you can relieve me, and much
more, can relieve the country in this im-,
portant point"
We have anxiously looked into this PAS
sage to discover its true import, but VIC
are yet in painful uncertainty. How can
we, by conceding what you now ask, re-
lieve you and the country from the in
creasing pressure to which you refer?-
We will not allow ourselves to think that
the proposition is, that we consent to give
up slavery, to the end that the Hunter
proclamation may be let loose on the
Southern people. for it is too we'll known
that welwould not be parties to any such
measure, and we have too much respect
for you to imagine you would propose.it.

himself, and took his hat off again.

only half conscious that the scene was real
ayes, Miss, if you please and ii two hun
dred pounds a year would satisfy you, Why
why. it's DONE and that's just where it is"
81 thank God" cried Lucy bursting into
tears. She was wide awake and understood all
now.
1t was all true-that was the best of it. The
man had really inherited large fortune, left
him by some relative hitherto unheard Of. And
was not his early thought about the poor gov
erness, who gave him good word every morn
ing, and inquired after Billy, who was scadcd P
Yes; for he had heard of her mothers death,
and, the proud consciousness of being able to
confer a benefit on an orphan girl cloted his
heart as much as the possession of thousand
pounds per atnum. Lucy, of course would
not consent to receive the salary he had named.
How it was finally settled, this chronicle knows
not but Lucy dwplls, with the quoudam toll
keeper, and looks happy-rcrfectly happy.
A small white stone has been erected at her
mothers grave. You may see it, if you will
walk for the purpose TO Abncy Pmk Cemetery,

IRISH WIrALwAYs READY.-Itis now known
that the surrender of Lexington was rendered q
necessity by the want of ammunition, as well as
by the want of water A few of the companies
had one or two rounds left, hut the majority
had fired their last bullet After the surrender
an officer was detailed by Price to collect the
ammunition and place it in safe charge. The
officer addressing Adjutant Cosgrove asked
him to have the ammunition surrendered
Cosgrove called up dozen men, one after the
other, and exhibiting the empty cartridge boxes
said to the astonished rebel officer, 81 believe,
sir. we gave YOU all the ammunition we had
before we had stopped fighting Had there
been any more upon my word you should have
had il. sir. But will inquire, and ii by acci-
dent there is a cartridge left will let you know"
The rebel officer turned away, rejecting lpon
the glorious victory of having captured men
Who had fred their last shot. An Irishman
from Battle Creek Michigan, was at Bull Run
battle and was somewhat startled when the
head of his companion on the left hand was
knocked of by cannon ball. A few moments
after, however, spent ball broke the fingers
of his comrade on the other side The latter
threw down his gun and yelled with pain, when
the lrishman rushed to him exclaiming, "Blasht
your soul, you ovid woman, shtop erwin you
make more noise about it than the man who
losht his head, ,"-Chicdgo Post.
