another column, will be Of interest
Eighteen regiments Of nine months and
Two years men, chiefly from New England,
are now on their way home from Port
Hudson. What thena Is everything to
fall 10 pieces in that quarter, and We to
lose all We have gained? Not at all, for
hapla!y cur negro troops are ready to step
in fnd hold the captured points against all
romess. Port Hudson is thus gar1isoned.
Greatly to the disgust Of the rebels, and
their Northern friends, the new era has
fully opened BY making the blacks useful
IN this Wit against their old oppressors.
Loyal mcn have come to recognize poetic
Justice in thus ending the SHAREHOLDERS re-
be1lion by arming and enrolling the blacks
in the armies Of the Union.
Philadelphia sets the country noble
example of loyalty and good order in an

The DRAFT has passed off everywhere in
That city with marked quiet and the best
of good feeling.
Our dispatches elsewhere, give as our
loss in the late assault On Fort Wagner,
1he heavy total Of 1917, a figure larger
1han the first reported. 1t was one of the
most fiightfu1 massacres Of the war, in
proportion to the force engaged.

a corresponding terror into Coppcrheads.
The dispatches say that President Lin
Coin is to visit New England. It will be
a healthy change Of air and surroundings.
Ihe nearer he comes to the great heart of
The people the more he will be convinced
that they will stand by him in everything
needed to save the country. Sometimes
this popular heartbeat gets little muff1ed
by the time it is heard at Washington, and

Jim to distrust some Of his channels Of
transmission Of news from the people,
whether the trip be extended East or West.
q dispatch in our last issue gave infor-
3nation Of a fnshtfal and devastating civil
war in Greece. The situation is foreshad-
owed in foreign letters which reached us in
Dur exchanges yesterday. It will
bc remembered that in 1862 the crown
Of the cxilcd Ohio I. went a
begging among the sucking soyereigns Of |
Europe, several royal scions having been
successfully fixed upon, but declining it. |
# finally fell to boy prince, the brother
Of the fair Danish bride of the Prince of
Wales. A foreign letter-writer pronounces
him an ill-mannered cub. who sullenly re-
fuses to 60 to his new kingdom without
beng well backed by British regiments to
protect him from his loving subjects. By
This time his reluctance to press throne
in Athens is not diminished, to say the
least, for Greece is undergoing the sharp
:st Of civil wars, and the prorerb has set
lied 1t that this is to be expected "when
Greek meets Greek" Greece has an area
of a little ever $1,000 squire miles, with
population Of 1,0B7 PIG souls, or, by COM
parison. a population little less than that
of Massachusetts, on an area equal to- that
Of the two States, New Hampshire and !
Vermont.
"Thcse riots arc the result Of the doc |
trine taught Of late by the Democratic !
party, which in New York city has
strength enough to defy the Government"
In this opinion we fully coincide, and it is
not often we can so entirely agree with the
Mobile Tribune. This thing is fully under
stood at the South. They see in it. the
fulhllmcnt Of the pledges Of our North
crn Copperheads. When the infam-
ous editor Of the Detroit Free Press,
early in the war, promised the
South "a frein-tAe-rsar" upon our Gov
it meant Just this, and the same
traitor is still busy preaching the identical
doctrine in the seccsh Times of this civ.
Tie rebels know who their friends are at
North, and their only mistake has been that
they measure them by their malisuity
rather tllan their numbers. The New
York riot cost three hundred lives, and
will call On the taxpayers to make good
an aggregate Of half a million dollars
damages. This is the result Of the ma1ign
Leachings Of Fernando Wood, for which
Gov. Seymour finds in his heart, and in |
lhc wing Of the party he assumes to lead,
no antidote. Fortunately, force was at
hand, before which the mob quailed, but
