NALLANDIGuAM IN DIxIE.-Our condemnation
of the joke perpetratcd by Uncle Abraham in
consigning Valandgham to the hospital atten.
tons of our "Southern BRETHREN" was pro-
claimed in advance yet it is impossible not to
perceive in its blending of the severe with the
ludcrous grim drollery that human rsibility
can scarcely resist. Let us glance at its promi
nent features
Neither in fact nor in his own theory is Mr..
Valland;gham banished from the country. lie
is only restricted during the residue of our civil
contest, to that portion of it with whose citizrns
aud local magnates he has steadastly evinced nn
intense, overmastering sympathy. He has never
been at war with jeff Davis IL Co.. nor they
with him he has steadIastly regarded them As
high minded patriots and Unioniss, goaded by
intOlerable wrongs into an irregular oppOsi-
tiun " TO Federal rule-ur rather the present
rulers.
Mr.. Vallandigham claims TO be an apostle Of
peace. lie has voted for no war measure he
has opposed everything ton our sidc) that looked
like coercion - he has been making peace
speeches, in Congress and out OF it, Tor many
long months. Uucle Abraham maniftstly be.
leves that he has mistaken the region wherein
such speeches are needed and insists that he
shall make them henceforth Cf anywhrre) in
that portion OF our country where the Union is
openly execrated, the Constitution defcd, and
the whole able bodied population is in arms to
defy the authority Of the Government and rrsis;
the execution Of the laws. In this single aspect,
we admit that the Presidential joke is good
one. But, since we know that the rebels would
ut once kill him il he w re to make such speeches
i'll Dixie against The war on their part as he has
made in Congress and in Ohio against its prose-
culion on this side, we trust he will not make
the attempt. And in fact, we do not suspect
him of any desire to do So /" Free Speech" is
only desirable, in his view when it is employed
To decry "a6olilion and " COERCION" is hor.
riblc when il precludes shareholders from having
their way. 1t Mr.. V. shall be permitted TO hold
forth 10 our Southern brethren,' we will war.

and wIckedness of the war on their part.-N Y.

WOUNDED AND KIILED-It takes but little
space in the columns of the daily papers hut oh,
what long household stories and Biographies are
every one of these strange names we read over
and forget! " Wounded and killed." Some
eye reads the name to whom it is as dear as life,
aud some heart is struck or broken with the blow
made by the name among the list. 1t is our Hen
ry, Or our James or our Thomas, that lies with
his poor broken limbs ut the hospital, or white,
still, unL with ghastIy face on the battle field
Alas for the eyes that read alas for the hearts
that feel. " He was my pretty boy, that I've
sung to sleep SO many times in my arms" says
the poor moIheg bowing in anguish that cannot
be uttered. &" He was my brave noble husband,
the father OF my little orphan Children" sobs
the stricken wife. He was my darling brother,
that loved so, that | was proud OIL" murmurs
the sister, amid tears and so the terrible stroke
falls on all the homes throughout the land
Wounded and kllcdn' Every man in that list
is lightning stroke to some heart and falls u
long black shadow upon some hearth,tone.

II little incident which il relates as follows:
One morning the servant girl, who, by the
way, is very good looking, Informed her mistress
that she must leave her service On being qnes.
toned as to the reason, she, after some hesitation.
amid tears and sobs, confessed that her master
was in the habit of visiting her room at night, by
crawling through window previons to his APP
pcarance in his wfes apartment. The lady, after
some delibcraton, informed the girl that she
need not leave on that account, but that in the
evening she would change rooms with her, aud
read the offending husband lecture on broken
marriage VOWS that would be likely to last him
the remainder Of his natural existence. When
the hour OF retiring came she placed the girl in
her own bed aud snugly ensconced herself in the
girls, and when ull was still, as she anticipated,
the window was cautiously raised aud the man
entered the room. and quickly disrobing himself
quietly got into bed, aud after while as quietly
arose and commenced donning his attire. AT
this stage OF the proceedings the lady, who had
not spoken word, cooly reached out OF bed,
aud with Il match lit the gas, when TO her horror
and CONSERVATION the man was not her husband,
but one Of the young men boarders! That his
surprise equalled hers is judged from the fact
that he seized the balance Of his clothing aud
Instantly left for parts unknown"

WHAT'S IN A DRGAN ?-Thc following very
curious incident occurred lately, for the truth ot
which, knowing the parties, can vouch At
n dancing party II young lady dropped smah
locket. aud though search was made that even.
ing and the next day, it could not lac found
aud so il was given up for lost. About week.
after, the lady calling at the same house, the
conversation turned upon the lost ornament,
when one of the party observed he once lost
pin and long time afterwards dreamed it was
sticking in an out oi'the-way part of II sofa, and
so strongly impressed was he with the dream,
that next morning he had the curiosity to look
ut the place Indicated, whore to his astonishmcnt
he found the pin, "Wcll," said the young mdy,
" it is very curious dreamed my Iocket was
under the carpet in certain part of the room"
The whole party Immediately went to the spot.

two incidents that there is nothing in dreams p

MrsT IT BE SO ?--Along the creeks in the
Gallons, willows grow in abundance. In the little
valleys which make off against the mountain 5
foot, wild cherry and aspen trees grow, forming
wholesome views, grateful reliefs from the dusty,
arid plain and rocky mountain sleeps The vii
lows on the banks serve another purpose beside
grateful shade for men and beasts they pre-
serve the little creeks from the suns rays, keep
ing the water cool aud pure. and saving IL from
evaporation. IL is almost incacuube, the ser
vices OF This foliage, for ornament aud use. Yet,
men are continually thinning the little trees out.
Material for adobes is plenty, but the fine cherry
trees where the birds sing, are cut down TO 6e
made into miserable brush houses. Fencing is
OF little use particularly when made Of such
fragile stuff but the slender shaking asps aud
willows are feled remOrselessiy, 10 make poor
fencing against grasshoppcrs. The water is low
ering in the creeks. Nature Is robbed of the lew
beauty spots she here had for appreciative eyes.
We have spoken Of this thing before. Can not
some remedy be devised p? Humboldt Register.

DECLARATION OF Mr.. SLIDELL.-M. Emile de
Grardin, the well-known publicisi, of Paris,
stated some time ago that in conversation with
Mr.. Sdel the Confederate Commissioner
in that city, the latter had assured him that the
South was disposed to 6sencumber itself of
slavery, which was rather injurious than advan.
tageous to it," This statement was reproduced
by Mr.. Gaillardet in this singular correspondence
from Paris with the New York Courier des Et-
ats Unis. The paragraph having been recently
brought to the notice of Mr.. Slidell he has taken
exception to the report of his conversation with
Mr. Grardin, and, in his last letter under date oi
April Sd. NJ. Gailar6et makes knowa the follow
ing rectiticaiions:
Mr.. Slidel acknowledges that he said to NJ.
Grardin that the slaves, once free, must leave
the South, which would not tolerate the mnging
of the two races. aud that The deportation Of the
negroes was ut once The condition and the diff
Guilty of their emancipation. But he has not
declared that the South was disposed to dis
cucumber itself OF that which was more injurious
than advantageous to it, Mr.. Sldell could
not have made such declarations for three reas-
ons The first is that. he has no authority
10 make il, and that the Government at Rich
m0nd would no more have IL than he, as the
question Of emancipation can he raised only by
the several States, and not by the General Gov
ernment. The second reason is, that it slavery
is destined to disappear one day, or to he modi-
fl ID like all human institutions, this would not
take place on the morrow Of II revolution, when
the first necessity of the South would be TO repair
its losses The third reason is that the South
mean To decide this question in full liberty, by
its sole authority and it will not make it, in
any event, the condition of its recognition in
Europe"
The last two reasons, If read in the light of Mr.
Deniamin's letter to Mr.. Commissioner Lamar
insructing him not to enter into sipnlations with
the Russian Government against the slave trade,
would seem TO be significant of a settled purpose
on the part of the Richmond authorities to leave
All opening for the revival of that traffic should
the sececded States succeed in establishing their
Independence, and Judge it necessary or cXpe.
dient to repair their losses " in the matter of
slaves by fresh importation from Africa. This
repair of LOSSES" says Mr. Slidcll, will be
" the first necessity Of the South," on the morrow
of its success in converting revolt into II revo
luton" And as he makes this statement in con
nection with slavery and in presence of the
known fact that the Richmond authorities refuse
to bind the secceded States by any stipnations
with foreign Powers not to revive the slave trade,
it would seem that the inference suggested by
this language flows naturally from the circum
stances under which the language is held rs well
from its own purport.
