JEFF BELIEVED IT.-We have just pub
lished the remarkable lette. in which FIX.
President Pierce promised jeff Davis that
the Democrats would fad " occupation enough
at home for the loyal men Of the North, in
case Of rebellion and war. We now give the
testimony Of Jeff himself, that he confded in
such promises. Pierce's letter was written
on the 9th, of Jan. 1850 and only twenty
days thereafter, on the 26th Of Jan 1860,
Davis used this language in the United States
Senate
None in Massachusetts who would censure a British

We will throttle them where they stand,
said Caleb Gushing. We will give them - oc-

And JEFF Davis believed them.

Adispatch from the front reports that there
mas been no fighting to-day. Our forces still
hold their position Of yesterday, which is All
evidence Of strength, as every hour increases
the chances for reiniorcements from Burn
side to arrive, and enables our forces to more
throughly intrench themselves, though no de-
finite assurances of the arrival Of reinforce
ments has been received. Brig. Gen. John
II. King reported wounded aud prisoner, is
neither. as dispatch from the front announces
him saie,-but Maj. Coolidge, his second in
command, was certainly killed.

USPUNCTUAL PEOPLE.

What bores they are; what
havoc they make with the pre-
clous moments of orderly, sys-
tematic men of business. A per-
son who is faithless TO his ap-
polntments may not intend to
swindle people, but he dos. To
those who know how to turn
time to advantage, every hour
has an appreciable pecuniarv val
ue; minutes, even, are worth so
much APIECE. He who robs YOU
OF them, might just as well take
so much money from your purse

OF time he compeIs you to waste.

praisal, to yourself or youT iami-
ly. The only capital of large

l heir compensation is measured
by the clock. The moments of

necessaries of life, and the loss
of an hour may involve the pri-
vation of a loaf, or a joint, CT
some other article urgently need

THE EVERYDAY HEROES OF

If you wish TO be her love, her
hero, her ideal, her delight, her
spontanelty, her utter rest and

soul to fine Issues,-you must
bring out the angel in you, and
keep the brute under. 1t is not
that you shall stop making shoes,
and begin TO write poetry. That
is just as much discrimination as
you have. Tell you to be gentle,
and you think we want you to
dissolve into milk and-water;
tell You to be polite, and you in
fer hypocrisy; to be neat, and
you leap over into dandyism;
fancylng all the while that blus-
ter il manliness. No, sir. You
may make shoes, you may run
engines, you NAV carry Goals;
you may blow the huntsman's
horn, hurl the base ball, fol-
low the plow, smfe the anvil;
your face NAV lie brown, yoIr
veins knotted, your hands grimed,
and vet you may be hero. And
OH the other hand, you may wriie
verses and be a clown. 1t not

ROSECRANS.

Because that Rosecrans has as
yet suffered no great reversible
cause in tie early days of the wal
he played an excellent game OF
hide-and-seek through the noun
tains Of Virginia-and because he
has been inflated by Yankee neces-
sity into power and sort OF
prestige--many persons are toe
apt to over estimate his general
ship. 1t is quite as injudicious to
magnify as to underrate the
capacity of an enemy. We scoffed
at the pluck Of the Yankees, and
we exaggerated the potency Of q
gun-boa:. The sequel has shown
how lamentably we erred in both
cases. The Yankees have shown
that courage or no courage, they
will fight; and the gun-boats and
iron-clads are discovered to be
hardly as terrible as st. George
dlIO Iue OIdSOu.
We must not commit the same
blunder in contemplating the
character Of Rosecrans. That he
is consummater ruffian-an arrant
bully-a shrewd deviser Of little
arts AN adroit observer an
active, but prudent operator
seem to be undeniable. But none
of these qualities are evidences of
real generalship. His game is a
bluff game; and that does not
always win, as many of our readers
know.
We have yet to test Rosecrans.
Some way, or some how, we have
great faith in the result. We do
not think that he is going to ex-
hibit as Il Napoleon, or Frederic

TWO YEARS HENCE.

In two years, as many persons
hope, We may possibly have peace
that is, always provided we
continue to repulse and defeat the
invading enemy. The Yankee
democracy" is certainly rousing
itself, and preparing tor new
struggle (at the ballot box in the
great cause OF the "spoils,' or, as
they call it, the cause of constitu-
tional liberty. Those Democrats
are evidently beginning to raise q
peace platform for their next
Presidential election; and if they
have the good luck to be helped
on and sustained by more and
more serious disasters of the
Yankee army in the field, there is
no doubt that the present devour-
ers Of said spoils at " ashington
may soon be so discredited and
decried that our enemy's country
would be ripe for such peaceful
ballot box revolution.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that
those earnest champions OF consti-
tutional freedom will he helped on
and sustained in the manner they
require; by continued and severe
reverses in the field; and it is the
first and most urgent duty Of oui
countrvmen so to help and sustain
the Democratic party. 1t is moth
ing to us which of their factions
may devour their "spoils,' just a,
little does it signify TO us whether
they recover or do not recover
that constitutional liberty, which
they so wantonly threw away il
the mad pursuit of Southern con
quest and plumber. But it is O

loud hnrrahs we greet the pro
claimed freedom OF three million
slaves. Yet if we emancira,e,
we must not arm the negro! 4
few more months of weary
watching and bitter dissppoint-
mPnt in the field, and negro
regiment, with banners waving
and drums beating, goes march
ing through the streets of Boston
where once the life of Wendell
Phillips was scarcely safe from
the fury of a proslavery mob.
Surely the world is moving
