Ey- 1t seems to require but very lit
tie to make people either happy or mis-
cradle in the world. On which side the
scales preponderate depends very much
on the opinions and conduct of each in
dividual Every man is to great ex-
tent the arti ficcr of his own fortune, and
the author of his own happiness or mis-
cry. 1t is no less so with what has
generally been called "the gcntler sex .
These observations are suggested by
what occurs before and around US every
day. Time was when every man aud
every woma in the country were proud
OF the government under which they
lived, and rendered cheerful obedience
to its laws. We had then the frecst
government and the happiest people on
the face of the earth. But now how
sad the change! We daily see around
US men, and women gloating over any
temporary reverse that may befall the
Union arms Their eyes glisten with
keen maignity when they speak of the
reported defeat of the Union army, or
describe the murderous incursion Of
band of guerillas. Why is this SO? Do
these malcontents set themselves up as
the benefactors of their neighbors and
countrymen? If they do so set them
selves up, why do they not explain to
US how they propose to bring about an
improvement in the freedom and happi-
ness of their fellow beings? The wisest
men, the world over, have esteemed cur
government the freest and best under
the sun. Is it to be put down by an
impudent and wicked pack of upstart
eonspirators, who arc banded together
to destroy this free government, and
drench this fair land in the blood of
their countrymcn The daring impu-
dence of these people is equalled by no.
thing but their falsehood and hypocrisy
and folly. They act with desperation
Indeed their social condition is like that
of the harlot whose vices have carried
her beyond the circle of respectfully So
ciety. She is conscious that she is
doomed to infamy, and she desires to
drag down all who are above her, to her
own state Of misery and degradation.
But the hopes of these traitors, like
the attempts of the harlot, will fail. The
American people are the custodians of
the citadel of liberty, and they will
spend the last blood in their veins rath-
er than surrender one star or one stripe
of the flag that proudly floats on its sum-
init. The destruction of the great
American Union would be the death
knell of Liberty. That knell will never
be heard within this land. The people
of this country have intelligence and
virtue enough to appreciate the worth
of the government bequeathed to them
by their fathers; and no bloody conspi-
racy of the most abandoned villains that
ever disgraced human Lature, can ever
destroy it. On the con trary it will with
stand all such assaults, and will contin-
NC to bless mankind. when the rebel
trash who are now arraycd against it,
shall be sunk in everlasting infamy.

going on about the war in a hotel a few
weeks since, criticising everybody and
everything, and denouncing our gener-
ais as bloekheads aud blunderers. when
a Young soldier, to whom the converse
ton was chiefly addressed, replied:
This war has done one thing at least
1t has developed more military oenius
than any other war in history WIN
there are men in every VILLAGE of the
North, who with their feet cooked mon
the stove, cigar in their mouth. and a
gin cocktail in their hand, will fight a
better battle in ten minutes than was ev-
er fought by Caesar or Napoleon. I
have no doutt there are those in this room
who can capture Yicksburg and Charles
ton while man is tying his crayat
march on Richmond in forty seconds
and put down the rebellion in half an
hour. Halleck are Hooker are GOOD
enough as far as they 90, but they have
no military genius. To find that Won
must come North, and mix among the
the bar-roon and Preside heroes. The
