We learn that General Rosecrans report
of the battle of Chickamauga was PROMPTLY
made to the Administration, but it has been
withheld from the public. General McClel-
Ian made full report of his campaign, but
the Administration not only refused to
publish it but prohibited him from publish
Ing it. 1t may be supposed that the
unuttered plea is that the publication of
these reports would be injurious to the
country. The reason more likely is that
it would beinjurious to the Administration
Probably the Administration assumes that
whatever is good for itself is good fol
the country, and, admitting its assumption
it is about as patriotic an Administrator
as we have ever had.

THE FAIRY.

Once there was fairy that had more be-

glass slippers, magicrings, wonderful mirrors,
and pretty little luck.pence; her heart
burned to be of service to the brute creation.
So she stepped up to COW, which was graz
ing by the way-side.
"Cow," said she, "what do you wish for
most in this whole world? If you will tell
me you shall have it,"
The fairy was not much bigger than a
grasshopper, and the old COW thought it
was very presumptuous in her to pretend to
have so much power.
However, there is no telling" thought
the cow" for these little mosquitoes that do
me so much mischief are great deal smaller
than she is"
Then the cow said:
"lf | might have my wish | would be a
bird. l do not like to be tied up in the barn
every night, and never to be allowed to 60
but into one pasture. The birds have no
troubles; they are free and happy. They
can fly away from danger, and in the winter
they can warm themselves by the sun. Then

sameness."
When the fairy heard these words she
touched her with her little wand, and the
cow changed to bird,and few merrily away.
Soon after the fairy met robin, and she
said:
Pretty robin, what would you most like
in the world?"
III should like to be n whalc," said the
bird; al think it is very degrading to be
such little mite of creature us | am;
always look upon everything large with envy.
Besides, l should like to live away down un-
der the water, because should be safe there
hawks could NOT End me, or the guns Of cruel
men reach me-"
The fairy thought he was foolish bird,
but she did Us he wished her; and he plunged
into the warter with mighty noise. AS the
fairy stood by the sea shore she saw another
great whale afar of, and she jumped into an
arconaut she'll, and went to the whale to ask
him il he were happy.

done three benevolent acts.
The following year the kind hearted fairy
sought out the creatures she had changed,
and asked them if they were happy.

The fairy changed her to cow. and the
grass tasted sweeter to her than it ever did.
Upon inquiry 1t was found that the Others
were as unhappy as she had been. The
whale, wounded by sword.fish, and pursued
by harpoons, was dying to breath the sweet
air of heaven once more, and to build his
nest in the green summer boughs; while
the horse, whipped and goaded during the
day and tied up during the night, longcd for
the freedom of the waves again.
And thus it is with mortals. Every one
wishes to be what he is not. The poor man
thinks that poverty is peculiar for its trials
and temptations that if he were rich, in the
midst of his possessions, no would never
more be troubled with care; but, notwith.
standing, he is often weary of world that
has no new excitement to offer; fretted by
ten thousand pretended claims on his gen.
erosity, embittcred by ingratitude, and sick
ened with the heartless aattery of contend
ing heirs. The uneducated man envies the
idol Of literary fame ; everything seems
bright and golden in his path, and he does
not know how often the darling OF popular
favor mourns for the peaceful spirit of tho
unambitious and the untroubled faith orthe
ignorant; how often he despises tho friend
ship, which hc sees is but selfish desire for
temporary Importance; and how, in every
hcart.sickness, he shrinks from the publicity
which the world will heap upon him and the
rancorous animosity it is sure to bring in its
train. Content is the whole of wisdom
the amount of all philosophy. Every class
OF mankind has an equal share OF happiness
and If we do not believe it, it is because wo
have more distinct knowledge of our own
troubles than of any others. We may bo.
lievo that we could exchange places with tho
wealthy and the celebrated, we should have
philosophy enough to avoid their restlessness
and languor; thus wo deceive ourselves
Mortals cannot cscapca a mingled destiny. For
wise purposcses there is u drop of bitterness
at tho fountain it mixes with all the waters
of life; and whether we drink from an
carthen or golden cup, we cannot escape
our portion.

The Idea of the War

New YORK, Feb. "a, 1868.
In one of my earlier letters, il my memory
does not mislead me. endcavored to show
how far the people of this country were, at
the outbreak OF the rebellion, from compre-
bending its true character, and the causes
which had led to it. We were moved at the
outset by that universal enthusiasm 80 CON-
mon in the beginning of all wars, and which
with us was reused to the highest pitch by
an insurrcction against the Government,
seeming, to the unthinking multitude, to
have no broader foundation than the unprin.
cipled ambition OF u few men hurled from
the political power they had 50 long enjoyed
by popular election. How superficial this
view Of the case was is evident now to oil
men. Events following each other IN rapid
succession, and two years time to think,
have taught us wisdom, and the better un.
derstanding of the situation to which wo have
come has gradually developed the anti war
feeling OF that portion of the people whose
sympathes have always been with the slave
holders as clasJ, and who believe in slavery
as u convenient or equitable system OF society
This opposition to the war, when the first
ephemeral and unrcasoning enthusiasm died
away, naturally and inevitably crystallized
around the Democratic party, whose name
was an accident, but which, from the foun.
dation of the Government to the moment OF
its threatened overthrow, has been the ally
Of the slave power, has nourished the growth
and strengthened the strength OF an institu.
ton sure in the end, unless itself destroyed
in the meantime, to undermine the liberties
Of the people, and sap tho foundation of the
Republic.
On the other hand, by precisely the same
progress ofevents and Of reflection, the oppo.
site party, however short-sightcd the mass OF
them may have been at the outset. and how
ever thoughtless also their early enthusiasm,
have accepted this struggle in all its breadth
and depth, as the final clash Of the two con-
tending forces Of liberty and slavery, which
for thrce-quarters Of century have been
gathering strength for this inevitable and
deadly contest.
Thus they stand face to face. And no
statesman or publicist abroad has the slight.
est comprehension of our affairs who does not
recognize this fact, that the contest il one
between two social systems-of an aristoc.
racy, based upon caste, striving to prolong
its existence as an order, and to retain the
power il has so long usurped aud that Chris.
tian Democracy which for eighteen centuries
has asserted tho right Of man to FREQ self.
government, to the development Of civiliza.
ton, to the highest cultivation Of which the
human character and tho human intellect
are capable. As the idea OF the war has
come to be comprehended among ourselves,
to the side of the Shareholders have ranged
the vicious. the servile, the short-sightcd, all
who have been taught to believe in or fear
il on tho other side are the inanlincss. the
courage, and the virtue Of the people. Hence
the divisions among us; and no man sees
with clear vision who sees in them any
thing else.
