Let the People be Patient.

Jacobinism will soon have run its
course, and finished its terrible career
in this country. The frenzy, madness,
terror which now prevail, will give way
ere long to restored reason. Humanity,
Christianity, Justice, are now organized,
and will triumph ere long. They will
triumph Ia the name of the Democracy.
They are inscribed on the Democratic
banner, and slowly, perhaps, but surely
as God lives, all good and true men will
rally to that standard. Logan Gazette.

A"PAusE.''-In his letter to the Vallandigham
meeting at Albany, Gov. Seymour said that the
people having given a generous support to the Ad-
ministration, will pause to see what kind of Gov

If an armed and desperate rufhan should

with the avowed intention of killing him,
would the Governor, after drawing pis-

of the assassin's fatal purpose, "pause and
see " whether the assassin would kill him

Three Weeks In the South.

Mr.. RICHARD F. CoLBURN, q correspond
ent of the New York World, who was
captured sone time ago: with other cor
respondents, at Vicksbure, has arrived in
Washington, and published his experience
of three weeks among the rebels. We
make brief extract:
The conclusion formed in three weeks
sojourn in the limits of the Oonfederacy,
q trip almost across its entire extent by 9
circuitous route that LED almost down to
the Gulf, then up again through the noun
tains of East Tennessee to Richmond and
along the Valley of St. James, may be
briefly summed up.
1st. The people are brave, determined,
and in the main united.
I'd. There may be temporary suffering
for want of sufficient food, but starvation
is impossible.
Sd. Although they can never probably
have their armies again at as high mum.
Der as now, and the material for conscrip.
ton almost exhausted, yet as the war has
been conducted thus tar, their military re.
sources are sufficient to keep up the strug
gle tor two years more.
4th. Their strength is thrown entirely
to frontiers, and if that frontier line were
once pierced-if our generals begin to dc
their duty, the whole fabric of rebellion
will go topping down like house bull,
of cards.
5th. Union ard perseverance at the
North are what the rebels most
dread. Their greatest hope lies in oul
division, and their greatest encouragement,
is derived from the conduct of such mer
as Vallandigham. He is regarded there
as q martyr to the Southern cause, and
they are convinced that he must have &
considerable portion Of Northern people
at his back.

Life in Richmond Described by Rebel
Pens.


The Richmond Wing of the 18th inst,
in an article exhibiting the prevalence of
vice in that city, reproduoes the following
from a correspondent of the Atlanta
Georgia. Commonwealth
Richmond is, | suppose, at this time
one of the most undesirable places in the
Ocnfederacy. The Old inhabitants of the
place, most Of them, are either away or
keep themselves within doors. The off
scourings of creation are assembled here
for the vilest purposes. 1t is really dan
gerous for one to walk the streets in some
parts of the city after night. Burglaries,
thetts and rObberies are of nightly occur
renee, and not untrequently the papers of
the morning record murders committed
the night previous.
"Here, too, the miserable thieving gam
blers can be counted by the hundreds.
Main street, as you may know, is the most
street, between Seventh and Fourteenth
streets, are the most valuable houses in
the city. Whilst the lower stories of
these buildings are devoted to lawful pur
poses, the upper are the dens of iniquity
and shame. The gambling tables are
spread and the cards are dealt out nightly,
and thousands are won and lost and fire.
queDtly, to make the unsuspecting stake
his last dollar, he is drugged with poison
Gus whiskey. To cap the climax of their
wickedness, it is not unfrequently the case
that common women of the town have
apartments hard by the gamblers table.
How degenerated! How many men, in
an evil hour, have been feeced of their all
by these practical swindlers? How many
families, in an hour or a day, have been
reduced to penury and wretchedness2
Truly, war is a great calamity. For
the time it seems that principle yields to
passion, honesty to avarice, vice to virtue.
Reason, herself, amid the mighty tempest,
loses her empire. 1t may be asked, why
is all this allowed? Why do not the au-
thorities prevent it This can't answer.
Some think they connive at it; some think
they are guilty of the grossest criminal
negligence, and others think that such are
merely evils of the times that cannot we'll
| be put down. The wickedness of this city,
and its communicating influences, are GER
tainly greatly to be deplored."

CURIOUS CASE FOR PHYsIoIANs.-ANI In.
FAINT KILLED BY CA--A very curious
| case has been brought to the notice of the
coroners, which gives a new impetus tc
the old superstition of children being de.
stroyed by cats sucking their breath. Cor.
oner Ranney was called upon day or two
since to investigate the cause OF the death
| OF an infant three months old, named Jo-
sephine 81. Klienkin, who died at the resi-
| dence of her parents, at No. 213 Eighth
avenue, from apparently unknown causes
The infant was well and hearty a few
hours before the sudden death, and was
put to bed by the mother, where it was
found in an hour quite dead, and without
the slightest sign of external Violence
These sudden deaths of infants from un-
known causes are SO common that nothing
was thought of it, until the testimony was
! taken before the jury. The mother of the
deceased child testiies that on the 1st OF
May, between three and four o'clock P. NJ,
she laid the child down on her bed in the
basement of her residence.
| In about an hour or two afterward, she
returned and found the child quite dead.
| The child had been we'll, and she knew OF
| no cause of death.
A daughter of this witness then testified
| that while the child was sleeping on the
| bed, she went into the room and saw the
| large cat belonging to the house on the
bed with it's nose to the mouth of the sick
| child, sucking the child's breath. She
drove the cat away, but it must have sub
sequently returned and destroyed the life
of the child. The testimony was corrobo-
| rated by another woman living in the
same house. 1t was also shown that the
cat was in the habit of lying with the
child.
DR.. A. P. Ranney, an eminent and skill.
full physician of this city, made 3 post NOR.
tenn examination of the dead body of the
child, and testified that he found no dis
ease about the body of the child. The
lungs had the same appearance as in a
case of suffocation. From what he found
connected with the testimony given above
he was of opinion that the child was de.
stroyed by the cat, perhaps by being over
laid, or by the application of the mouth
of the one to the other.
The jury, in accordance with this testi.
mony, rendered a verdict "that the de-
ceased came to her death by being over
laid by a cat"
This case, strange as it may appear, is
we'll authenticated, and opens new ave-
nue. for Investigation, which will no doubt
puzzle our medical Swans.

ssPause
From the Albany Evening Journal. I


Gov. Seymour advises the people to
"psuse" in the work of rescuing the
Union from the hands of Traitors until
they ascertain "what kind of Govern
ment it is for which they are called to
-FOUR out their blood and their treasure"
The counsel is as wicked as it is cowardly.
1t is fraught with danger, not only to the
cause of the country, but to the existence
of society itself. Its effect is to weaken
the Government, degrade it in the eyes of
the masses, and encourage the disloyal to
conspire for its overthrow. 1t is an init
nation that fidelity to it is conditional;
that the citizen may throw off his allegi-
ance at pleasure; that he may "pause
at moment when its existence is in dam
ger, and consider whether he shall remain
Patriot or turn Traitor. 1t is a declara-
ton of the "higher law" OF individual
over civil supremacy-an enunciation of
the dangerous heresy that the Man is su-
perior to the State. If carried out into
the practice of communities, there would
law, all restraint upon the license of the
| mob.
To "pause'' now, would be not only
| ruinous, but unprecedented. History fur
nishes no parallel OF such an act of mad
ness and folly. There have been wars be-
fore; but there have been no ''pauses" in
their career, except the "pause" of peace
or the ''pause" of death. The Netherlands
revolted against the tyranny OF Spain but
they did not "pause" until the work was
done. Switzerland revolted from the yoke
of Austria; but she did not "pauss" to
discuss technicalities until her indepen-
dence was achieved. The Greeks had
much to discourage them in the prosecu-
! ton of the war against the Turks; but
they did not "pause," and hence did not
fail. England was dissatisfied with the
the conduct of the war of the Peninsula,
demagogues denounced it and demanded
that it should be stopped; but she did not
pause for all that-but went right on,
conquered peace at last and thus re-
asserted her sovereignty in the council
halls of nations. Party spirit ran high
during the Revolution. Washington was
denounced as " incompetent" arbitrary
arrests" were made, the war was ''mis-
managed" good men found much to dis
courage and disgust them but our faith
ers did not "pause" They fought the
good fight for seven long years-and con
quered. 1t was only the Tories who
"paused:" only the "Cow Boys" who
sowed dissensions in the country, while
patriots bled in the field and History
has embalmed them in undying infamy.
There must be no "pause" now. The
war must 60 on. The conflict must rage
until every traitor has laid down his arms
Our destiny urges US on-we have nc
choice but to fight or dishonorably sue
cumb. Timid men may counsel concilia-
ton; demagogues may howl against
Federal usurpation, but the great
work will go OF in spite of them. Gov.
Seymour, and those who affiliate with
him, may cry "pause," but the cry will
not be needed. 1t will awaken only in
dignation and pity in the breasts of pat
riots.
