Ex-PREsIDENT PIERcE's SrEEcH.-it is sad
to see one who has enjoy ed the highest no
nors of the Republic making such "a spectacle
of himself as Is portrayed in Ex-President
Piercc's speech al Concord on the Fourth of
July. Here was man who might he sup
posed to have a peculiar pride and concern
in the integrity Of his country, speaking on
a day specially devoted to patriotic associa-
tions, and lust after the announcement of Il
great victory won by our soldiers-Our own
ncighbors and kindred-oyer the armed foes
of the Government and the invaders of a
sister State. And yet he had not a word Of
exultation that the tide of destructive inya-
sion had thus been turned not a word of
praise for the hcroism (as noble as that dis
rlavcd at Bunker Hill or Bonnington) which
had achieved this victory and not a word
of condemnation of that revolt against the
Constitution and the laws which has filled
the land with bloodshed and mourning
And still this man protcnds to be a patriotic
statesman, and there were thousands who
heard him with apparent approval The
time Is surely coming when this anomaly
will be put in its true, sad light.
But the pecularitios Of ExPresident
Picrces speech were not wholly negative
lie found it to be the intcrmcddling of too
many Of the citizens of the Northern States
with the constitutional rights of the South
ern States" lie did not seem to see any in
termcddling in the constant labors of South

thi, to say about the old fashioned treatment
of old bachelors
In antiquity 1t was considered uupltriotic in a
citizen 10 remain a bachelor all his days BY the
Spartan laws, those citizens who remained bach
elors after middle age were excluded from all Of
hces civil and military At certain felsts they
were exposed to public dorision, and lei around
the market-place. Although, generally speaking,
age was usually deeply respected at Sparta; yet
this feeling was not manifested 10 old bachelors.

Spartan youth to a grey-headed oll-bachelor,
- who Will never have a son to do me the same

to pay extra and special taxes, ami under Au
gustus law was enacted. by which bachelors
were made incapable Of acquiring legacies and

near relatives. In canon law bachelors are en-,

The Richmond Dispatch of July 9th has
been received 1t contains the following
ATLANTA. July 3.-Thcre has been no raid
ON the railroad in East Tennessee.
ATLANTA, July 1T is considered certain
that Morgan has played havoc with the rear
Of Gen. Rosecrans army.
An important movement has taken place
in Gen. Bragg's army, but it Is not prudent
to mention particulars.
LArER.-Gen Bragg's headquarters are at
Bridgeport. The Tennessee river will be the
future line Of defense. 1t is supposed that
Huntsville and the Memphis Railroad will be
abandoned.
BOTToN's DEroT, Miss, July 4.-Our cav
airy were skirmishing all day yesterday, near
Edwards Depot, with the Yankee troops
under Gen. Osterhaus. Our loss is two kill
ed. We took 10 prisoners. The enemy are
firing a national salute this morning. The
negroes are constantly returning to their
masters from Gen. Grants army. They re-
port that the Yankees expected to make an
other assault to-day upon Yieksburg The
enemy were engaged yesterday at Blldwin's
ferry.
The Dispatch of the 9th says that Vice
President Stephens, it is said, has gone to
Fortress Monroe on flag of truce boat. One
story is that his business is to see about
the exchange Of prisoners. Another that it
is to inform the Federal Government that il
private property is not respected in the Con-
fcderate States, and the rules Of civilized
warfare strictly complied with, our forces in
the North will receive instructions to retail
ate in kind.

1t seems from the accounts of our own and
rebel newspapers that Alex. II. Stephens, Vice
President of the Confe1eracy, has made des-
pcrate but unayailing efforts to obtain a per
sonal interview with President Lincoln for
the purpose Of urging upon his attention,
and perhaps We might say his conscience,
the importance ofabidng by the rules Of civ-
lied warfare. 1t is intimated that he in
tended to threaten the President, if he could
have got at him, with the tcrrors Of rctalia-
tion, if he did not mend his ways, and aban-
don the savage barbarity Of his policy
There is a richness and spice in this unpar-
alcllcd audacity that reminds us Of J. Wesley
Green and p. T. Blrnum. For the Vice
President Of = Trctcntious " government
that puts forth as its avowcd policy the
hanging of our soldiers and officers when

as the Richmond papers affirm he intended
to make if he could have n chance, has very
much the air ol lroluuhd JOKE IL looks

A CorrERHE,D SEEKING CogroRT.-The \
Y. World SAYS

There is one point in connection with the news
from Vicksburg which suggests some doubts re-
specting its correctness The report purports to
come by dispatch boat which left Vicksburg at
10 4. N. on the morning Of the 9TH, and reached
Cairo on the 7th inst, before noon. As the dis
tance between these two points is $40 miles, 1t
follows that this boat must have run against the
current of the Mississippi at the rate of over Is
miles an hour. which is tremendous travelling, as
all know who have sailed up that river. The
dispatch boat is usually two days between Nicks-
burg and Memphis, and it may be that this news
reaches US from Memphis via Cairo, as the tele-
graph line is in operation between these two cities
But it is not so stated in the dispatch. 1t is
strange. also, that Admiral Porter should make
the announcement of the surrender instead of
Gen. Grant, to whom, in courtesy and of right it
belonged We hope the report is all right

HORSE RAILROAD EXrENsIoN.-M eSSrS. Ed
atOTS Now that the horse railroad has become
an institution among us, it is to be hoped that
one point, apparently hitherto overlooked,
will not be neglected in the extensions con-
tcmplated by the directors. | refer to the
route through Grove street to the Rural Gem
etary, and eventually perhaps to the pleasant
suburb Of Worthwhile. | suppose two objects
are to be accomplished by undertakings of
this kind, viz: the pecunIary benefit of the
stockholders and the accommodation of the
public. That both of these woud be secured
by the proposed extension L have no doubt,
for aside from the dense population of Grove
street and its neighborhood, who need the ac-
cominodaton, and the extensive works of
Messrs Washburn & Moen, employing many
hundreds OF hands, male and female, hun
dreds OF our citizens and strangers would daily
visit the cemetery through all the pleasant
months of the year, attracted thither by the
quiet beauties and hal0wed recOlleCtions of
the place, securing by their presence its pre-
cincts from Dissertation and improper uses
While in the winter throngs would crowd the
cars either to witness or enjoy the sports OF
the skaters On Salisbury Pond, which. by its
nearneSs to the center of the city, will always
be preferred to more distant fields Of exercise
and recreation. The route is entirely level and
easy Of construction, and would undoubtedly
pay better the year round than any other of
of Main street. S.
