A FAITHFUL LABoRER,-Rev. James W.
Hunnicutt of Fredericksburg is one Of the
southern loyalists whom the rebellion has
tried by fire, and who has come out of the
ordeal pure gold. He is native of South
Carolina, was educated at Macon College,
and subsequently settled as Baptist minister
III Fredericksburg. Though all the influences
of his life would have drawn him to the for
tunes of the south, he yet fought secession
and disunion from its birth, till upon the last
evacuation Of Fredericksburg by our troops,
he was himself compelled to flee. In COM
parison with Parson Brownlow he is described
as his equal in force of character and fixed
ness of purposes his superior in all other re-
spects. Mr.. Hunnicutt has done the Union
cause good service by book recently pub
lished, entitled 'rhe Conspiracy Unveiled, or
the South Sacrificed" and by lecturing wher-
ever the truth needed to be spoken.

watch stolen from his room few days since,

was young woman, was arrested and the
watch recovered.
There was rare sport, the other day, in the
Compagna, in the vicinity Of the Claudian
aqueduct, about four miles from Rome. Miss
Harriet Hosmer the celebrated American
sculptress, had challenged Mr.. Spiers, an
English gentleman, and the spirited master of
the hounds, to ride Il steeple chase match.
The match came of in presence of pretty
numerous field of British, American and
sporting Roman spectators. Miss Hosmer
rode well, and took all her leaps, stone walls,
rails and hurdles very pluckily, and led until
near the winning post, when Mr.. Sper's jock
eyship overcoming his gallantry, he called on
his horse and came in winner.

Sustaining the government.

Mr.. Seward, writing to the 10Th Of April
meeting in Baltimore-a little impatient with
the frequent criticisms upon the dilatoriness
of the government-uses the following lam
guage;-
81 am sure that the government not only
desires victories with as much earnestness as
the nation does, but also that the army and
the navy, with their respective heads, deserve
and are sparing no efforts to secure them.
What l would like to see, however, and what
think the country most needs, is fixed
popular determination to maintain the Union
without reference to the fortune Of arms"
1t is historical fact that the government
has been strongest with the people when has
come before them with its hands full of victo-
ries, and weakest after periods, more or less
prolonged, of apparent inactivity in the field.
Even the democrats of New York, when they
wished to carry the election, appealed for
support on the platform of more vigor-
GUS prosecution of the war, of which there
seemed to be need enough, at that
time. But when the conviction was strong
that the government was putting forth all its
energie s, and people were in daily expectation
of successes that would cheer the whole land,
then, as in Rhode Island and Connecticut, they
have rallied to its support with ''fixed pop
ular determination" which even Mr.. Seward
musthaver regarded with profound respect. The
interests of government and people are one.
There is no salvation for either but in the
speedy and total overthrow of the rebellion.
The government must do the work if the ma
ton furnishes the means. If the work delays
after the means are furnished, then criticism
is natural, inevitable, and for The most part
salutary. But the country does need an
lnvincible public spirit, looking without
shadow of turning to the maintenance of the
Union, without reference to the fortune of
arms-with rare exceptions that has been the
predominant spirit of the nation from the
start. Only now and then. after repeated and
heart-crushing disappointments, has it seemed
to bend before the storm; but it has always
rebounded with equal vigor as soon as the
storm had passed. The copperheads, over
whelmed with popular indignation wherever
they have shown their crests, are the only
exceptions to the rule. They, it is true, are
still in conspiracy by secret means to
accomplish the mischief in they failedby
open nes,-the only element outside of the
rebellion which the government has cause to
fear,-and against which the loyal sentiment
of the nation should be armed. With the
single exception of this diSloyal, and dark
lantern gang, the government has been sup
ported in all earnest and vigorous measures
as no war government was ever sustained be-
fore. England in India and in the Crimea,
France in Italy, Russia in Poland-no great
nation of modern times, however arbitrary
and despotic in its forms of power, has had
such uniform, devoted, selfsacrifcing, I'M
to the end. This tie "a ot...~. -
the assurance of ultimate success.
