financial slough Of despOnd into which had
fallen. The result of all which mental elabor

blessed in his presence, by tenderly and fami-
liarly inserting the index finger of my right
hand in the upper button hole of his coat, and
drawing him patronizingly aside from the vul-

then and there did speak, assuring him that
knowing his profound attachment for me, and
the great qualification an opportunity to do me
a substantial favor would afford him, and also
wishing To give him slight token of my most
distinguished consideration, had come to give
him the refusal of loaning me ten dollars before
going elsewhere. He seemed deeply moved at
this unexpected evidence of my esteem and
partiality, and for a moment seemed perplexed
for language in which to couch reply. Bya

Of regard so condense and intense, he begged
to assure the party Of the first part that he

his sublime friendship, ad infnitum, without
wOunding his sensibility or doing the least in-
justice or violence 10 his highly recGfed and
concentrated affection for him-Uhe party of

the object Of the expedition, though in the main
unsuccessful, was not defeat but only fail

direct assault, but only a reconnaissance. And
that suggests the war aud the war suggets the
history of the war, or rather the ." History OF
the Great Rebellion" as It is called, BY Victor,

some celebrity. and consider the first volume,
which traces the causes Of The war, valuable as

the Oregon Intclligencer, such cpthcts as
treason, traitor, copperhead, secesh thief,
and many others, applied to the constitu-

them, for they are fools, and know not
what they do. Can a man be Union

gang insist that you must violate all laws
