A SHARP REPLY.-The N. Y. Tri
6une having styled the National H..
telligencer ''pro-slavery," the latter
replies as follows ut is very easy to
be generous and philanthropic at other
peoples expenses, bat We san tell our
contemporary that tho publishers of
the National htelligencer have en-
ancipated more slaves at their own
cost and out of their own pockets. long
before the present agitation, than all
tho aboltionists put together between
the Potomac and Pensbscot."

nit for the consideration of the Messrs.
Potters, Tyngs, and other clerical war.
hounds the following apologue by DR..
Franklin in one of his letters to Dr..
Prisstley.
'1n what light we ore viewed by su-
perior beings may be gathered from a
piece of late West India news, which,
possibly, has not yet reached you.
"A young angel of distinction bein g
sent down to this world on some busi-
ness for the first time, had an old cour-
ier spirit assigned him as guide; they
arrived over the seas of Martlnico in
tho middle of the long day Of obstinate
fight between tho fleets of Ro dney and
De Grasse. When through the clouds
of smoke, he saw the fire of the guns,
the decks covered with m anglcd limbs,
and bodies dead or dying, and the guam
tity Of pain, misery, and destruction
the crews yet alive were thus with so
much eagerness dealing round to one
another; he turned angrily towards his
guide, and said. you blundering block
head, you are ign GRANT Of your business
you undertook to conduct me the earth
and you have brought me into hell
No says the guide, L have made no
mistake; this is really the earth, and
these are men. De wills never treat one
another in this cruel manner; they have
more sense, and more Of what men
(vainly) call humanity"

There is class, who support the
war simply because they find the war
so convenient thing for supporting
themselves. Country clergy, who had
been starving on five hundred a year
salary, found that the war opened for
them FIELDS or UsEFULNEss AND A
MORE GLORIOUS OPPORTUNITY OF sA-
WING SOULS, on twelve hundred year.
Loyalty with this class means simply
bread and butter. The continuance OF
the war secures this; it's cessation
would send them home to starve. 1t
matters little to these pious souls, how
many souls are sent to their final ac-
count all unprepared by cannon shot
and s,ber stroke, 50 that til ey are not
forced to dine with Duke Humphrey
But we by no means wish to disparage
the church on account Of the wicked
ness, folly and insincerity of those who
minister at its affairs. We agree with
Bishop Warburton, who says, IN his
letters: "The Church, like the Ark of
Noah, il worth saving; not for the sake
of the unclean beast and yermin that
almost filled it, and probably made
most noise and stencil in ic, but for the
little corner of nationality that was as
much distressed by the stink within as
the tempest without"

TOME OF MORTALITY AT WASH

TONE OF MORTALITY AT WASH
INGTON.
From tho Washington Cor. Chicago Tribnne
The tone of morality here is con-
s,lerably lower than it ever has been
before. This is admitted on all hands.
and can be proved, or, rather, needs no
proof,;for the air is heavy with public
and private guilt. A few years ago
high Austrian official whose pecula-
ton were discovered, applied the lancet
to his own veins, and another similarly
situated hanged himself. There is no
such sense of shame hero. Any cor
oner's jury IN Washington would find
a verdict of insanity for such conduct,
and the verdict would be accepted in
good faith. The southerners, as class
had very nice sense of honor so far
IS the public treasury was concerned.
Floyd was IN exception. almost soil
tary exception to the rule. When
they had the power here there was com
parativeiy little thieving, and when any
was discovered, it was promptly expos
ed and denounced. There has been .
change, a dreadful change, for tho worse.
The attempted frauds, in tho treas
ury, in one channel and another, come so
fast and from such unexpected quart
ers, that ono is bewildsred in contemp-
lating them. Yet nobody has been
brought to justice, and nobody seems
to think it possible that anybody should

GErrlNa Their Eyes OPEN.
While in the country few days since,
we were engaged in conversation with
some of our farmer acqsaintaacss, three
Of whom were republicans and one
denocrat, on topics foreign to politics.
Suddenly one Of our rerubli; AN friends
remarked:
See here, three years ago, / used
to 50 to market with my grain. and sell
a bushei Of wheat for ten yards Of stuff
to make dress with, new it takes two
bushels, and we get more for our wheat
by considerable. How: is it? We ex-
planned to him the depreciation of cur
reney on account Of the rise Of gold. etc.
The conversa ton then became gen eral,
and our republican friends concluded
that it "was about time this sort of
thing was stopped" We thought SO
too.-La Crosse Democrat.
