CONTROLLING TEMPER.

Fools, lunarians, the weak minded
and the ignorant, are irascible, i'm
patient, and of ungovernable tenn
per; great hearts and wise are calm,
forgiving and serene.
The most imperturable and
the ablest disputer of his age
was the Scotchman, Henderson.
When glass of water was thrown
into his face by the ungovernable
rage into which his antagonist had
allowed himself to be thrown by the
anticipation of inevitable defeat, the
Scotchman calmly wiped his drip
ping cheeks and remarked with a
smile: THAT is a diversion, let US
proceed with the argument
Iti said of one of the ablest men of
a past century, that, having compile
ted the manuscript of work which
he had been preparing for several
years, he left his room for a few mo-
ments, to find, on returning, that his
favorite little dog had, in his alb
sence turned over the candle and
reduced the writings to ashes; on
observing which, he exclaimed: "Oh!
Diamond, little dost thou know the
injury thou hast done;" and immedi-
ately set about the reparation of
damages.
Phillip the Second, after having
sat up to a late hour in the night to
finish some important state papers,
walked up one of his drousy secreta-
ries, who was so furried at his
breach of duty that he dashed the
contents of the ink-stand over the
manuscript, instead of the sand-box.
1T would have been better to have
used the sand, was royalty's remark,
on sitting down to the reproduction
of the document.
Washington, when high in COM
mand, provoked a man to knock him
down. The next day he sent for the
person to appear at head quarters,
and asked his pardon for, in review
ing the incidents of the case, he
found that he was himself at fault.
A magnanimity only possible to a
truly great mind; but it is magma
.4imity, a self-control, a mastery con
troll, "a mastery of temper, which il
is nobility to strive for.

A Fight Afar Off

The Hon. s. S. Cox recently made cop
perhead speech in Cleveland, which be wound
up as follows:
"What must we do? We must elect Mr..
Vallandigham first. We must inaugurate him.
How, you say? Mr.. Pugh will take his SOL
emn oath as Lieutenant Governor. He will
swear to abide by the Constitution and the
Union. Mr.. Vallandigham's name will be
called thrice from the door of the Capitol. If
he does not appear, Mr.. Pugh will be Cover
nor. He will call out the militia, 10000
strong. He will march to the Canadian from
tier. He will conduct Mr.. Vallandigham to
his chair as Governor, and none will dare to
hinder him. Then with Mcclellan or Sey-
mour, in 1864, we will put the Government
again on an honorable footing; the Union as
it was, and the Constitution as it is; and the
country will once more be peaceful and pros
porous. Cheers" IF Ohio is to witness no
more Copperhead display of force in hostility
to the Government until Vallandigham is
elected and Pugh inaugurated, we think that
must be good State for quiet people to emf
CRATE to. We would warrant them against
any trouble from 'lhe noise of the captains
spouting,' for at least two years to come.

Convention of ohio War Demoorats.


A Convention of the War Democrats of the
State will be held in Columbus on the 22d inst
The Cincinnati Gazette states, on what it con-
siders good authority, that it is not contempla-
ted by the great majority of the party to pro-
pose or support the nomination of any other
ticket, and that the object of the Convention
to be held at Columbus is simply to define
clearly and positively the future policy OF
their party.
The War Democracy of Hamilton county
held meeting Monday evening to make
arrangements for the representation of that
county in the State Convention. The action
of the Vallandigham County Convention 10
nominate ticket and the platform adoped, has
wdened more than ever the breach between
them, and has much strengthened the position

more Evidence of Treason.

Proofs of VaIlandigham's treason and his
completely in the late invasion of the North
by the rebels, are becoming daily more abun-
dant. A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette, writing from Stevenson, Alabama,
states the following:
"In couversing recently with Union citizens
of Alabama and Tennessee, learn that Val
landia ham, while in that section, repeatedly
exborted the rebels to hold on to Vicksburg,
declaring that the success of bis party in Ohio
deperded altogether on the ability of the rebel
Government to battle the Union armies besieg-
ing that place confess was staggered at
first by this statement of Vallandighamis at
rocity. could not believe that his treason
was of so dark a character. l hesitated to
make the matter public, and l should not do
so, did not know that the evideces Of the
facts are abucdant and indisputable. Loyal
men in both States have named are ready to
testify TO it."
But the most remarkable testimony is the
letter given below, written to the \. Y. Times,
over the writer's own signature:
PHILADELPHIA, September l.
Having just returned from the city of Rich
mond, Va, where tave been over one year,
wish you would give the following publica~
tion in your valuable journal:
1 have. during my stay in Richmond, made
the intimate acquaintance of J. Lane, Cap
tain in the Confederate army, son of Gen. Joe
Lane, of Oregon, who is well informed, and
who assures me that the late invasions of the
North by Lee and Morgan were made upon
the earnest undoubted representations of that
true Southern man, Vallandigham, who assur-
ed JEFF. Davis and his Cabinet that the North
was ripe for revolution, and only wanted the
appearance of the Southern army to proclaim
for jeff Davis and forsake Lincoln. Mr.. Val
andgham's representation were corroborated
by the tone of the majority of the Northern
journals, who surely would not deDounce the
Administration so badly except by the assu-
rance Of having the masses strongly in their
favor.
have sent a copy of this notice to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer.
respectfully yours, HENRY REINISH.
In corroboration of the Bbove we give
couple of extracts from speeches Of Vallandig-
ham, which will remove all doubt as to the
correctness of paragraphs quoted:

SYMPATHY NTH HER. NO VERY GOOD FEELING
FOR HER, AM BOUND TO HER BY NO TIE
WHATSOEVER" Vallandigham's Record, page

the Revolution aud the end of the war Of18l2

can excuse himself through ignorance for his
criminal folly in voting for 30 Arrant a traitor

The fall in the English rebel loan indicates
the failing hopes of the rebellion in the eyes of
foreign financial spectators. In the eyes of
English military spectators, the fortunes of
the Confederacy are far lower than is repre-.
sented by rs discount. In the Army and Ma
Wy Gazette that came by last mail, our old
friend Mr.. Russell, gives luminous and accu-
rate roll of the splendid military and naval vic
tories recently gained by the Union arms; and
after doing so, he comes to the philosophical,
metaphysical, historical and creditabIe concIu-
sion that requires philosophy, metaphysics, his
torical parallels and immense faith to believe
that the South can continue her resistance to
the North in the field, or preserve her States
from the sway of the Washington pro-consuls.

An army chaplain, speaking of the bravery
of some of our troops, relates an incident that
he saw happen on the field: A Union soldier
was fighting bravely after most of his compaD-
ions were shot down. The chaplain watched
him. He saw a cannon ball strike the soldiers
left arm and sever it between the shoulder and
elbow The conclusion turned the soldier COM
pletely round, his arm falling at distance of
ten feet or more from where he stood. The
chaplain still watched him unconciousy to the
soldier, who did not know that he was regard
ed at that moment by any other than the All
Seeing Eye. The soldier looked at his left
side and beheld his bleeding stump; then turn
ing round, he commenced searching for his dis
severed arm. He picked it up, held it for a
moment in its place, then held it aIoft in his
right hand, and exultingly exclaiming, "this is
my sacrifice to the Union!" he hurled it with
all his might at the retreating foe.

VOL XIV.
WORK.

We believe in wOrk-good, hon
est, hard work-work with the hands,
work with the head, and both com
bined. It was mans original desti-
ny, as we'll as that of most, perhaps
all, of the animal creation. And if
we call those which are done with
out "conciousness of volitien" then
the vegetable kingdom is full of
workers.
But man above all, because he
needs most. Some animals make
themselve dwellings,, like men, and
wonderfully nice ones; but where is
the animal that makes himself a
suit of clothes? The silk worm =
No, madam. His cocoon is his house
or his vest, if yon please; but not
his coat or trousers.
Animals gather their food, and
store it up for use with great labor;
but no animal builds fire and cooks
it, Animals live on fruit and grains;
but never in any conscious or volun-
tary way do they plant trees or
SOW corn.
The beaver is content to use his
teeth for an ak, and his tail for a
trowel and does admirable work
with both; but man makes tools and
machinery. The squirrel crosses the
river on chip or piece of bark,
making a sail of his bushy tail,
which is very clever of him; but
men make canoes and steamboats,.
Thus, in clothing, cooking, agricul-
ture, tools and navigation, man is
superior as a worker to the whole
creation. And when we come to
brain work and writing and artistic
operations, there is no sort of com
parison.
Dignity of IaborI Why, what
dignity is there in anything else ?
Who ever thought of dignity of
idleness ? The only use and the on
ly excuse for play and rest are, that
they enable us to work the better.
Rest is the pause in which we gath
er strength to labor. Recreation is
the step back which enables US to
spring forward with greater force.
1t would be rash thing to say
that work could be an excess, be-
cause all must have rest and sleep;
but it is safe to say that ten men
are killed by bad habits and bad
constitutions, for one who is cut off
by honest work. And idle men are
notoriously more short lived than
laborious ones. The oldest men
we know, and those who have best
preserved their faculties, have been
workers, and some of them very
hard workers.
And the workers certainly have
the most enjoyment. Ask any man
who has retired from business
Idleness eats into the soul and makes
happiness impossible. Work brings
cheer. Excess of work is like all
excess, but there is no better con-
dition of life than that of the wise
and temperate worker.

The REBELLION "PLAYED."-Hon. Daniel
S. Dickinson declines to be a candidate for
reelection to the Office of Attorney General
of New York, on account of domestic con-
siderations. In his letter making The an
nouncenent he submits the following striking
observations:
"'The rebellion has received its death-blow.
1t has now little power for mischief, save in
its spasmodic struggles as it gasps out in its
ignoble existence. 1t may, by galvanic ap-
plicAtions from its friends in the loyal States,
oEce or twice rise to its feet and stagger on
little farther, but this will rather hasten than
postpone the hour of its final dissolution.
As it passes away, and the law is preparing
its halters and dungeons and banishment
for conspiring leaders, let US pray Gor the
forgiveness of the deluded masses who have
been cheated or driven into this wholesale
murder to minister to the unholy ambition of
some of the most fendish monsters that ever
desecrated earth. As for the moleeyed
politicians among US, whose poverty Of intel
lect has not enabled them to comprehend the
magnitude of the crisis, when they shall cease
TO encourage the murderers of our sons and
brothers, let US endure their exhibitions of
depravity and the ebullitions OF their spite
without murmur, and in sheer pity measure
out to them, as an antidOte TO their Intellectual
virus, that scOrn which is made most emphatic
| by expressive silence"

DELAwARE.-It is clear that the blight of
slavery is, at no late date, to be removed
from Delaware. But l,TOO slaves are now
held there. The present proprietors of the
soil cannot afford to allow their prosperity
longer to be marred by so balefuI an influence.
They invite settlers to come upon their lands.
They seek industrious and intelligent freemen
as mot likely to increase the prosperity OF
their State. The delaware Improvement
Association" which issues the invitation, is
society composed of the best and most
prominent men in the State. Its President is
William Cannon. the Governor of the State,
and among its officers we find the names OF
Harrington, Du Pont, Smithers, Heald, Rey-
bold, and others, well known to- those who
are familiar with Delaware. The matter is
certainly worthy the attention of those who
may be in search of new home.

The Butternut orators and papers are con-
stantly charging the Republicans with having
brought the present calamitous war upon the
country. Little harlequin Samcox, who mis-
represents this district in Congress, has fire.
quentIy made the charge, And yet the little
demagogue, along with every Republican in
Congress, and every Democrat from the North
except Valandigham, on the 22d of July
1861, (see Cong. Globe, 1861, PIP. 223) voted
for. the following resolution:
''RcsolUed BY the House of Representatives
of the Congress of The United States, That
the present deplorable civil war has been fore
ed upon the country by the disunionists of
the South now in revolt against the Consti.
tuticnal Government, and in arms around the
capitol"

gress or he tells one on the stump Which

Franco and MEXICO.

Anxious as the incemprehensible Frenchman,
who at present guides the destinies of the
French Empire may te to recognize the ''Con-
federacy," and as much as he may deem it a
necessity, growing out of exigeneies of Mexi-
can affairs, yet, be is not in circumstances to
enable him to do it with safety. An act of
recognition would be an act against the Uni
ted States. Napoleon is not yet prepared to
invite the hostility of the United States. Il
requires j standing army now to hold Mexico
in subjugation This affords ample employ
ment for the Franco-Mexican army. An
equal, or greater number which would be
necessary to back up recognition, he cannot
Immediately furnish. Besides the power of
the United States is significantly recuperative,
while that of the rebellion is weakening and
crumbling. Victories next month at the bal
lot box. and victories in the field, will put at
rest the question of French or English inter-
vention. Intervention on the part of either
or both, would be regarded as a challenge to
arms. The challenge would be accepted, for
it could not be put by. A war with the
United States would cost Napoleon his throne,
for other complications would develop them
selves, which would press hard upon Napoleon
and lead to important results, and his mush-
room throne might be easily made to rock.
And if war with England did not result in
giving an incurable wound in a vital point, by
sweeping her commerce from the seas, but also
in the permanent loss of her American posses
sions, then we much underrate the spirit of the
American people. But we have no present ex-
pectation of any such result. for Napoleon if
knave, is not fool, and John Bull if tricky
and treacherous, is not totally blind.-Clev.

How They "Agree."
he Ohio Statesman of the 5th says:

The Ohio Statesman of the 5th says:
THAT the rebellion must be suppressed, we
all agree"
So says the organ of the Valan ligbam
faction. Now, hear Vallandighsm himself
In his Canada address to the Ohio Democracy
be says:
''If this civil war is to terminate only by
the subjugation or submission of the South to
force and arms, the infant of to-day will not
live to see the end of it. No in another way
only can it be brought to close. Travelling
a thousand miles and more, through Dearly
one half OF the Confederate States, and soiourn
ing for time at widely different points, met
not one man, woman or child. who was not
resolved to perish rather than yield to- the
pressure of arms even in the most desperate
extremity"
What beautiful agreement is here! The
great Copperhead leader tells us, as the result
of thousand miles travel ard extensive
personal intercourse in the South, that "the
infant of to-day will not live to see the end"
of this war, if it is to come only by the submis-
sion 'of the South to force and arms,' while
his central organ says ''we all agree" that
''the rebellion must be suppressed. TO
