Auuncidcnt in the Cars.

In a car on a railroad which runs into New
York, a few evenings ago, Il scene occurred
which will not soon be forgotten by the wit
nesses Of it. \ person dressed as a gentleman
speaking to a friend across the car, said:-
t!Well, I hope this war will last six months
longer. If it does, l shall have made enough
to retire from business. In the last SIX months
Eve made a hundred thousand dollars-slx
months more and | shall have enough"
a lady sat behind the speaker, and neces-
sariIy heard his remark; but when nc was
done she tapped him on the shoulder, and SAID
to him: Sir, I had two s~ons--one OF them
was killed at the battle Of fredericksburg
the other was killed at the battle ofMurfrees'
boro," II
She was silent a moment, and SO were al
around who heard her. Then, overcome by
her indignation, she suddenly slapped the
speculator, first on one cheek and then on tht
other. and before the fellow could say a word'
the passengers who were sitting near; VINO
had witnessed the whole affair, seized hln
and pushed him hurriedly out OF the car, a.

men were shot at that place on the 9th for
mutiny and desertion, and adds:
Such scene ought deeply to IMPRESS

our soldiers to scenes of blood and death
that they are little affected with auytbinp.
This is a cruel, horrid war; and it ia sur
Prisiug that some of our Congressman and
part of our press do not appear to desire
+" speedy end to it. If these fine pentle-
men could leave their comfortable houses

standing on picket for days aud nights

down upon them, as only Mississippi rain

and nothing to eat but coarse corn bread
and mOlasses; it they could see these men.

Gated the throne aud whisky has taken its

ter Of the beverage which goes under the

filthy compound which is stealing away

fined to the low and vulgar, but educated,

ing it with an assiduity akin TO insanity.
Asa partial auttdote to this degrading

commends the extensive manufacture Of

From Harpors weekly.
what Is Loyalty!

When Mr.. Fernando Wood and Mr.. G.
Ticknor Curtis sneer at Loyalty, as word
which hasno meaning in apopnlar govern
lment, what do theylmeau? When theys say
or insinuate that tis an emotion known
only IN monarchies, they merely say what
the experience of every moment contra.
diets. Loyalty is purely impersonal
emotion, except in the case of Individuals.
The general British loyalty to the monarch,
for instance, is like the Romish reverence
for the Pope. The Briton knows nothing
aud cares nothing about the woman Victo1
ria. 1t is the Queen who is the object of
his loyalty; just as the holy Father may
be personally u scamp or criminal; but
he Pope must be infsllible.
Now an Englishman is loyal to the Queen
for what reason2 Simply,you answer, be-
cause she is Queen. Yes; but WHAT'S the
Queen in England? She is merely the
visible representative ofthe nation. Indi-
vidually she may be worthless; but'as a
representative of the national power aud
majesty she is profoundly honored. Ifshe
were Boadicea, if she personally COM
handed men and swayed them by her
superior genius, they would be loyal TO
that personal superiority. But for her sub
iects she is a ceremony merely; and if, in
L the case of Victoria, her blamelessness OF
| life and the fact that she is a woman, Gre
ate a peculiar interest, that interest has
nothing to do with loyalty. Euglishmen
were Just as loyal to that worthless popin-
! Jay George Fourth as they are to the es-
timable woman who is now Queen. And
in each case loyalty was the same thing,
1t was reverence for the King and Queen.
| But the King and Queen ia the British sys.
\ TEN are clphers. Thereverence ia for their
representative quality.
Now will either of the learned political
pundits who deny the possibility of loyaI-
ty as an American sentiment, deny that
the American citizen (excepting always
Copperheads) honors the majesty and pow
er of his Government quite as much as a
British subject?
1t is the national glory and grandeur
in one word, it is the Nation-which, in
any civilized modern people, is the object
of the emotion called loyalty 1t is blend
ed of pride and fidelity. Aud as in this
cauntry there is no separate and perma-
nent representative of the nation, hide
pendent of parties in the nntion, the feel
ing attaches itself to the Government law
fully constituted and represented. Heis a
loyal man who stands by it, and votes and
fights for it. He is a disloyal man who
stands by it, and votes and fights for it.
He is a disloyal man who tries in every
way to em barrass and paralyze it; who
talks about the distinction between the
Administration and the Government; as il
u man were at honorable liberty to refuse
to obey any law, in this extremity of peril,
| which he may choose to Gail unconstitu-
tionnl;lo or who plots with foreign Ministers
for the ruin of the nation. Such man is
dislOyal, whoever is or is not loyal.

Covert Treason.
From tho Missouri Democrat


Shielded by the avowal of loyal senti=
nents, there are persons who do not hest
tate, iueVery opinion to reveal views which
are inimical TO the Government. Their
loyalty, forsoothigis beyond question. for
they say so. The Government is wro2fyin
this act, entirely wrong ia that, abomina-
bly, in others. In fact, the Government is
entirely wrong in each act, and vet the
Government is right in the aggregate ofits
acts. This is kind of loyalty, which.
If not witnessed, could not be realized: vet
it exists. @ =
Do these persons deceive themselves 2
They do not; but they deceive MANY other
peop!e-besides which, they do IN incal-
culaoie amount of injury either by the
utteranee OF opinions which they claim to
De tue honest convictions of their hearts.
or oy prophecies of events which they saw
are sure TO come to pass, although they
would most deeply depIore the occurrence.
Doubtless loyal man NAV agree With
Sir. Eallandigham, that "the day which al.
Vides the North from the South. that self.

the East and West" Aloyal man. from =
low estimate of human nature. NAV have
TINS opinion; but would any thofoughlv
loyal aud sensible man express it? Ger.
fanny not for man both sensible and
loyal would know that the influence Of
such prophecy, pronounced with ASSN.
ance, would have dishearteninp effect
upon the timidand weak-minded.
II is no true defence for the express;nn
OF an opiniou, thatit is an opinion exist;ng
in his mind. There are many opinions
which it IS improper to express. Ira man
is loyal and sensible, he will express NO
opinion that might injure his government
and it a government be at war, it is mani
fest that whatever discourages constitutes
an act which is disloyal.
Let those who wish to enunciate dismal.
prophecies, abide the alternative of being
considered either disloyal or lacking in
common sense, and a stop will soon be put
to the continual and insidious attacks of
men whose sentiments are entirely loyal-
in the North.
Moreover, let every one strive to discour.
age the grossly material belief, that the
interests oftrade are paramount to every-
thing else; that where a river flows their
minds aud hearts must follow that the
soul OF man is not his own, but is directed
by the magnet Of his interests-that this
World,is oHe vast altar, on which each one
offers up a moral suicide to mammon.

How Fortunes are Mode and Lost In

TheNew York Journal of Commsrcs gives
the following instances of the hazard OF
mercantile transactions during war times :
IAN invoice of six hundred bales of cot
ton was consigned to this market, on Eng
lish account. 1t was sold at ninety-three
cents per pound, and the seller at once en-
gagged his exchange for remittance. Before
the transactions were concluded, the turn
came, aud both cotton aud exchange came
down. The buyer Of the cotton was not
able to take it, but the buyer tthe ex-
change was compelled to fulfill his agree-
ment, so that he was compelled to pay
100000 on his part of the transaction
while the cotton still remained unsold -
