Union, and ere the laps Of Eve years
there will be another civil war, and ia

The Nation has just begun its work;
we think II has, ell things considered,
begun il we'll, and "well begun is half
DONE" The people now appreciate the
true spirit Of slavery; the invasion of
Pennsy ~lvania and Of Indiana have
aroused them TO a realization Of the fact
that slavery will ruin this nation If it
can. 1t will lay every loyal city in
aches, aud strew every loyal State with
wrecks Of ruin unless il be crushed out.
Therefore We want no armistice nor
compromise with slavery. Let it be q
war Of determination between Freedom
and Slavery. If slavery be a good thing
let II extend to the coast Of Maine, and
let every city in the North become Q
slave market; but if freedom be indeed
Heavens bestg il to man, let every green
savannah, fragrant wildwood, and lofty
mountain in the South be vocal with the
hymn Of liberty.

aud the resources Of his intellect.
The three days battle may be sum.
med mp az follows; On the Hrst dav the
advance corps of the Union troops at
tackled two corps of the enemy north Of
Gettysburg about a mile. Another
Union corps came up to the assistance of
the first and finally four Union corps
were engaged in the action. The result
vas that General Reynolds was killed,
and the Union troops were driven into
the town, and through IL, and south of IL
for some distance, when night put an
end to the battle. The same night the
other Union corps arrived, and a general
battle opened on Thursday south of
Gettysburg, which was held by the
enemy. The fighting was desperate.
but there was no decisive result. The
Union troops gained ground at the
center, but lost some on one of the
wings, and the enemy still held Gettys-
burg. On Friday the rebel Generals
hurled their troops in vast masses upon
the Union army, and two or three times
the battle seemed almost lost. But IL
vas fought we'll and persistently on
the Union side, and Lee not only failed
to break MeAde's lines, but suffered
fearfully in his attempts. Meade re-
sisted the impetuous onsets of the
Southern troops with all the obstinacy
of Wellington at Waterloo, and with the
same fearful losses TO the enemy and
himself He thus saved Washington
and the Republic.
The military authorities at Washing
ton, by promptly sending forward re-
Inducements, can now head off, destroy
and capture the whole rebel army, and
thus give the finishing blow to the re-
bellion. They can make the battles of
Gettysburg as disastrous to Lee as was
that of Leipsic or Waterloo to Ma
poleOn.

A Dcgrndcd PeOnIc.

The slrangest specimen of the lowest
class Of humanity are the Dokos who
live among ,the most warm bamboo
woods to the south OF Katfa and Susa,
Africa, Only four feet high, OF dark
olive color, savage and naked, they have
neither houses nor temples, neither fire
nor human food, They live only on
ants, mice and serpents, diversified by a
few roots and fruits; they let their nails
grow long, like talonS, the better to dig
for ants, and the more easily to tear in
pieces their tavorite snakes. They do
not marry, but live indiscriminative lives
OF animals, multiplying very rapidly,
aud with very little maternal instinct. -
The mother nurses her child only for a
short time, accustoming it to eat ants
aud serpents as soon as possible; and
when it cah help ITSELF it wunders away
where IL will. aud The mother thinks no
more about it. The Dokos are invalIu.
bic as slaves, and are taken in large
numbers. The slave hunters hold up
bright colored clothes ao soon as they
come 10 The moist, warm bamboo woods
where these human monkeys live, aud
the poor Dokos cannot resist the attrac.
tion offered by snch superior people. -
They crowd around them, aud are taken
in thousands. III slavery they are do,
riiv, attached, obsdient, with few wants
and excellent health. They have only
QUE fau.t-a love Of ants, mice aud ser
peutS, aud u habit Of speaking to Yer
with their heads Oh the ground and their
heels in the air. Yer is their idea of a
superior power, 10 whom they talk in
this conical manner when they are dis
piriled or angry, or tired OF snakes and
ants, and longing for unknown food =
The Dokos seem to come nearest Of all
people yet discovered, to that terrible
cousin ofhum anity--the ape. r lcl

also 1850 skins of the red fox; worth
about $3.50. The mink, now mercileSs.

AbsOiutisul.

The New York Times, a Seward
Abolition organ, published an article
on the 9th inst, repudiating the idea of
popular responsibility on the part of the
President of the United States, in these
words: ....... ........
"0ur Executive was made independent
of the people for the time he holds Office
by the founders of the Government In.
tentionalIy, aud not through inadvert.
ante; and for the very strong reason that
ours b,iug pure democracy, and not as
in England, democracy with strong
aristocracy to act as o buffer between it
aud the Administration, it was felt that
an Executive that was bound to reflect
the popular sentiment, was the worst
Executive that was ever seen, and would.
in fact, be little better than Govern.
ment carried on by committee appoint.
ed by mass meetings." .. ..
The idea that our National Govern.
ment is "a pure democracy" is certainly
no less novel than that the President is,
during his term of oflice, independent Of
the people, when he is at oil times liable
TO impeachment through the action Of
the popular branch (the House of Rep
resentatives) in Congress. But it seems
that. in the view of the most conserva.
tive Abolition reformers, the President
is not only above the laws and constitu-
ton but above the people the supreme
Autocrat over all. Hooking Sentinel

procession appeared about half past

on which Kosincki sat, with Capuchis

to be deeply engaged in confidential
talk, and a detachment of gandarmes
and Uhians. The cart stopped at a
stake near the Bank buildings, and a
loud cry ofanguish came from the as

commanding officer the, band began to

Kosi,ki fell. The sound of weeping

the hole was large enough and deep
enough to please him, he dropped the

to work and covered up his treasure. -
When his task was accomplished, the

but with that of Of providing for him

the holes were his winter storehouses. -
AS it is probable that the squirrels
memory is not sufficiently retentive to
enable him to remember all the spots in
which he deposits these acorns, the in.
