EDITOR INTELIIGENcER Il cannot but
congratulate your correspondent
Winfield upon his very healthful po-
sition touching the Governmental Poll
cy, and especially that upon which We
were once at issue, viz +: the emanci-
patton of the slaves. He at first ad-
vocated the pro-slavery policy--or,
rather, stood opposed to the policy of
freedom for the slaves. And you
have not forgotten how cuttingly you
dealt out rebukes to him for advo-
eating pro-slavery policy in the col
umns Of the Latciigeaoer. He was alb
solutely interdicted farther proce-
durc.

Transitory Things.
BY MARION N. CLARKE.

Observation-Disclosures are withering-
All Of hopes flowers that youth hath nursed-
Flowers OF love too early biossoming,
BGds OF ambition too fIal 10 burst"
Hopes flowers " alas, their lasting bloom
Is not for mortal's eyes;
To soon within darksome tomb
They hide their brilliant dyes
Although their buds may promise much,
Their beauty soon will fade
They droop beneath old Times cold touch,
And low in dust are tai3.
The " Flowers Of Love 4" whoe'er has known
Those flowers to open wider
Although their buds in youth have shone,
As down liie's stream we glide,
Those flowers which used 10 seem so fair,
No more expand their leaves
The garland that we later wear,
The hand Of love ne'er wcayes.
- Buds of ambition " transient things!
Yet still they leave stain;
In youth, ambition sweeIly sings,
But has no after strain;
For when youth fies, ambition, too,
Goes with the fight of time,
Aud from those buds Of once bright hue,
Rings out a mournfal chime.
What then have we to trust To here,
Where "all that's bright must fadeS"
Where all that charms the eye or car,
Soon meits IN deepest shade
Oh nought on earth can ill the heart
Or satisfy the soul
Then let us seek in heaven Part,
Ere lIfe's beyond control.

1t is a fact not generally known,
but which ought to be known in con-

was greater than the loss at Waterloo.
At Waterloo the Allies lost 20, 1000 in

about the same number. At Gettys-

organized. Without the constsat but delnsive
promises of foreign Intervention the rebellion
would long ago have died nstaral death
Without the continual supplies of foreign arms,
munitions and manufactures the rebellion could
not have survived more than a year at most.
From its very inception up to the present time
England and France have been participants in
the crime of the rebellion and have reaped all
its advantages. Upon what pretenoe, then. can
they claim to escape Its punishment They
have been secretly but diligently making war
upon US for over two years, and it is quite time
that we began to retaliate. The United States
have never provoked war with either England
or France They have attacked us, not only
without provocation, but at time when we
were involved in domestic difficulties and could
not protect ourselves effectually. England, de-
liberately trampling upon its own laws, has fol-
lowed up its recognition of the belligerent
rights of insurgents by supplying the rebels
with arms, ammunition and money, and, while
affecting to observe hypocritical neutrality,

teers, and is now engaged in constructing .
feet Of iron-clads for rebel use. Our comment
upon such cowardly and treacherous proceed
ings should be declaration of war. The EN-
peror Of the French has repeatedly urged other
governments to join him in openly recognizing
the Southern confederacy, and has only re-
Trained from recognizing 1t by himself because,
having cunningly robbed France Of her liberty
and Italy of her hopes, he has been attempting
to steal part of this continent while we were
occupied with our civil war. az smart thief
takes advantage of street fight to pick the
pockets of both combatants. The honor and
integrity of this republic alike demand that this
imperial adveoturer shall be punished as he de-
serves.
In word, then, It is our duty as we'll as our
interest to attack England and France as soon
as this war is concluded. The Southern people
are equally incensed against Europe for
holding out false and deceitful promises,
not one of which has ever been fulfilled,
and will gladly fight with US in such
cause. Thus all animosities between the
North and the South will be lost in the common
interests and fortunes Of such conflict; all the
social and political problems which threaten to
perplex us will be easily solved; all the dangers
ofa too sudden recurrence to peace will be avert
ed; our gallant soldiers and brave generals will
be gloriously employed; the military and naval
talent of our citizens, just beginning to show
itself in numerous improvements in the method
and the nateria of wars, will be suitably de-
veloped; France will be driven out of Mexico
and England from Canada, and the United States,
more powerful than ever before, will embrace
this whole continent, and, like ancient Rome,
practically rule the world.
