Stephen S. Foster, who openly denoun-

the conscription bill, prays for the success
of the Confederate arms, declares he has
no choice between the government of Abe
Lincoln and that of Jefferson Davis, and
says he will do all he can to prevent en-

Foster expresses the sentiments Of the
Radicals, only they "do not wish to be
told of it." They are doing all in their
power to overthrow the institutions of the
country, destroy the Constitution, and
complete the destruction of the ''once glo-

theft" they denounce others as disloyal,
only to distract public attention from their

"The Union as it was will never bless
the vision Of any pro-slavsry fanatic or
Secession sympathizer, and it never ought
to. 1t is a thing of the past, hated Of ev-
cry patriot, and destined never 10 curse an

again"
The Chicago Tribune said it.
Is this treason?
"The Union shall never, with my con-
sent, be restored under the Constitution
as it is, with slavery to be protected by it,"
Thaddeus Stevens, the Abolition leader
in the House, said it.
Is this treason!
"Bstter recognize the Southern Confed.
cracy at once, and stop this effusion of
blood. than to continue in this ruinous
policy, or have ever a restoration of the
Union as it was.'
Cassius M. Clay said it, while the Pres.
ident was pursuing conservative policy.
Is this treason
"For one, 1 shall not vote another dol,
lar or man for the war until it assumes q
different standing, and tends directly to an
anti. slavery result. Millions for freedom
but not one cent for slavery!''
Mr.. Conway, abolition Representative
in Congress from Kansas, said it, while

pa 1t is well known that, in the recent
election in Connecticut, soldiers who would
vote the abolition ticket were allowed to
go home from the army and vote. Some
Democrats anxious to see home once more,
also pledged themselves to so vote if they
could be allowed to return and see their
friends.
One, by the name Of Randall, having a
sick mother at Danelsonville, and wishing
to see her once more ere she should pass
from earth, begged for furlough, as a
starving child would beg for bread and
at last, when all other means had failed
consented to pledge himself to vote for
Buckingham. He came home ; saw his
dying mother went to Killington town
meeting; voted for Buckingham, as he
had agreed to; and then stood up in tho
town house and related these facts.

ray The old adape that men chang

ray The old adage that men change
their skies but not their souls when they
cross the seas, does not appear TO hold en-
tirely true in the case of Henry Ward
Beecher. If we are to believe the Lon-
don Duly Ne,cs, which has taken the
trouble to publish correspondents sketch
Of Beeeher's "views," the pastor of Ply
mouth Church has discovered that the par
ty spites and mean political vituperation
of party spirit are excellent things to leave
behind when one goes among men OF the
world in foreign parts. He is stated to
have admitted in England that the Demo-
cratic opposition to the administration was
perfectly "loyal,' and TO have discoursed
most sensibly upon the sincerity of the
Democratic leaders.
This is creditablc to Mr.. Beecher's per-
ceptions, at least. 1t is in his favor that
he shoul,l have been able to what weaker
mortals like Samner and Wade could
never be brought to understand that the
heats of faction become ridiculous as soon

Loyal Leaguers about "Coppcrhead," and
"traitors," and "sympathizers," is odious
at home, but abroad it is simply tedious
1t would be good thing for the country
if those of his sect who stay at home would
take hint from Mr.. Beecher's foreign
experience, and learn to keep moderately
rational tongues in their heads. This il

The Gid bureau.

As we were passing down Exchange
Street several years ago, We stopped IN
front Of an auction room TO examine the
various articles that were exposed to be
sold under the hammer. We had been
there but few minutes, when we heard
a female voice inquirine, "ls this bureau
to be sold to-day 2" On hooking up we
perceived that the question had been
addressed to US by young lady. whose
sad bat pleasant countenance struck Us at
once. We replied that all the articles
spread on the side walk would be disposed
of to-day to the highest bidder.
II should like this bureau, if it goes
low enough, y she said, pointing to an
old fashioned article that was standing
among the other furniture F'but / never
bought anything at auction in all my life,
and [ see no women here. l don't know
as 1t would be proper for me to bid"
sit would be perfectly proper" we
replied "but If you wish it, will bid off
the bureau"
IF you will, sir, I shall be greatly
obliged to you"
"How high are you willing to go?'
Il don't know exactly how much it is
worth, bat if it sells Tor three or four
dollars you may buy IL.
'Shall | speak to a hand-cartman TO
leave it at your house Z"
s'No sir, I Will call at noon and settle
for it and take it away. I am very much
obliged to you for yeur kindness"
SO saying the lady went away, leaving
us TO wonder who she was, and Of what
use the old bureau could be to her. We
examined it, took cut the drawers, bnt
saw nothing remarkable about it. At
eleven O'Clock, when the auction commen-
ced, we were present, and after waiting
uearlr an hour the aucicneer remsrked !:
I'VE viii now sell this bureau. " hat
will you give me, gentlemen ~
One man offered two dollars, another
three, and we bid half dollar more
Four dollars WAS tid-four and a half and
five dollars. We were astonished that the
old thing should bring such price
What should we do-see it sold and dis
appoint the lady? The thought struck
US that it might have belonged to some
friend, and she wished to purchase it Oh
that account, and rather than disappoint
her, We resolved to bid again The
bureau ran up TO ten dollars and we pur-
chased it for half a dollar more. Certain
ly we should not have given four dollars
for j: to use ourselves. However, we
bought it, and had it sent to our room
telling the auctioneer that if lady should
call for it, to inform her where it might
be found We examined it again, and
began to regret our purchase, feeling
almost certain that the youEg woman
would not thank us for what we had done,
but we never mourn over bad bargain.
Our philosophy will notpernnit US 20 do SO.

Hark borne upon the southern breeze,
As whispers breathed above the trees,
Or as the swell from of the seas,
In summer showers,
Fall softly on the ears of men
Strains sweetly indistinct, and then
Hist listen catch the sound again
'Fieksburg is oursl"
Ger sea-waves beating on the shore,
'Bove tbunders cen the storms are DER,
Ger cataracts in headlong roar,
High, high, ii towers.
"O'er all the breastworks and the moats
The Starry Flag in triumph floats,
And heroes thunder from their throats,
Yieksburg is ours u
Spread all your banners in the sky,
The sword OF vict'ry CLEANS on high,
Our couquering eagles upward fy.
And kiss Tie stars
For Liberty the Gods awake,
And hurl the shattered foes a wreck,
The Northern arms make strong to break
The Southern bars.
The flaunting flag, the rebels trust.
Lies trailing in the bloody dust.
With sword and haiberd there to rust,
And rot 10 shreds
No more frcm its dishonored grave,
To f0ut defiance to the brave,
v no proudly our broad banners wave
High DER their heads.
All honor 20 the brave and tTue,
Who fought the bloody battles through,
And from the ramparts victory drew
Where Vicksburg covers;
And Ger the trenches, DER the siain,-
Through iron hail and leaden rain,
Still plunging onward, might and main,
Made Nicksburg ours.
Wave. wave your banners in the SKY,
The glory give to God on high,
In lofty praises far outvie

Which, in defeat, o'erw helmed the foe,
And laid his frowning bulwarks low,
