No fact connected with the history Of Chi

than the lively interest they have ever mani

This interest has not been like an occasional
outbreak gushing from shallow fountain
with each copious shower Of prosperity,
drying up when the trying seasons Of drouth
came on. II has been constant and perennial
rising with the first consolidation Of the
people who newly emigrated here, and gain
ing strength and power with the increasing
| commercial growth OF the city. Chicago was
| settled by men Of mind; they came here
| when it Was scarcely speck on the political
or civil map Of the continent. They pitched
| their tents not for what there Was, but for
what was to be. They were men Of faith,
| and were willing to work and wait. In the
development Of the rich regions westward
and far to the North, THY saw clearly its ult:
mate commercial Importance. Resting upon
the head waters of that vast chain of lakes
which links the rills Of the West to the At

people whose interest can never become ad

neither foreign invasion nor domestic tur

Seeing this and knowing By the experience:
Of all nations and of all communities, tha
permanent prosperity and personal securit,
depended more on the degree of intelligence
and moral purity Of the people, than on tn

C0NEISC SCATION.

The opponents Of the Con6scation bill
continue TO predict that its enforcement
will drive Southern loyalists into rebel
lion. But only the property Of rebel lead
ers will be touched. Are Southern loyal
lists so attached to the traitors who hunted
them down like wild beasts and robbed and
murdered them, that they will themselves
turn traitors il the property of their enc
mics, who brought on ong-premeditated
war, be made to bear portion Of its cost
Strange loyalty, that would take sides
against itself!
Wherever the rebels have borne sway
they have not hesitated to confscate the
property Of loyal citizens. If the oppo
nents Of the confscation bill had succeeded
in defeating it, and the property Of rebel
had been held sacred by our Government
would NOT 8 premium have been offered o.
treason, and would not the rule have beel
established that, in case another rebellion
break out, those who desire to save thei
property must take sides against the Re
| public?

more outrageous than the most degraded |
Of their sex had ever before been guilty OF.
Federal soldiers guarding the peace Of their
city, were assailed from the windows Of
fashionable residences with rotten eggs,
decaycd oranges, and kitchen garbage,
csst ut them By jcweled hands that scorned
al1 household labor. Sometimes the enter
tainment was cnlivened by buckets Of
slops; and d1enched uniforms we're pur-
sued by 7ollics Of epithets prohibited in
Northern bar rooms. Relying on the
privileges Of their sex, biackguards
in petticoats heaped upon our men
cyery indignity which q depraved ingenuity
would invent. One fayorite trick Was, to
hold their handkerehiefs to their noses
Wien q soldier passed; another, 10 simu-
ulate the nausea which precedes vomiting
another TO initiate the voices OF carrion
birds.
At last these outrages became intolera-
BILE. Blackguard boys, emboldened by the
impupity enjoyed by secesh women, began
also to spit and to make indecent gestures.
Groups Of cutthroat men at the street cor
ners testified their delight by hoarse laugh
ter. The mass Of the population, mistak-
ing forbearance for timidity, began to
grow insolent. Then came the order Of
Gen Butler. The change which it wrought
is described as something magical The
offenders Immediately assumed the beha:
| yior Of well-bred women; and howeve,
bitter their Language might be at the fire
side, they were careful to offer no more in
suits publicly to our troops. It is an eter
nal disgrace to the character Of these aris
tocratic. female rebels, that nothing but thE
dread Of the ca1aboose could restrain then
from playing the part Of savages, or extor
:. from them show Of that respect which tn
discipline, courage and magnanimity c
our soldiers would hare won from the VIC
men Of any civilized country, save the dc
mo1alized South Such is the effect Of thi
Internal rebellion. It unsexes women
men it degradcs below the dignity Of mar
hood, It murders hclplessness; bullie
timidity; spits on forbearance; and cowel
before strength

TANNING SHAEwG.

It seems from the news brought By the
Arabia that Lord Palmerston, the London
Times and other British magnates, have
taken it upon themselves to denounce Gen.
Butle1s's Order, relating to the female Sc
eessionists Of New Orleans, and express
tho hope that the United States Govern
ment would disavow it and remove Butler
for issuing the order.
We have the charity to belieyc that the
British misunderstood the nature Of the
order and Of the prorocation that caused
it. Beauregard pretended to misunderstood
it, and alleged that Butler directed. that
the female rebels Of New Orleans were 10
