THE TERMS

& Mr.. Lincoln never uttered a. sentiment
more true than that contained in one of his
earliest documents upon the rebellion. He
said to the South, {" we cannot always fight
after years of war the same question will re-
turn for Settl ement." 1t would seem that the
propitious time for negotiation, for an adjust
ment of the difficulties which now conyulse.
the country, cannot be remote. Indeed, it NAV
well be questioned whether in view the very
important advantages we have recently gain
ed, the government is not now in situation
where it becomes duty to make some ad-.
vances in the direction of peace, If we are
not mistaken, there are signs that the popular
mind is looking for some such demonstration.
Already many influential journalism discuss
ing the terms on which the Union shall be re
stored.
This is the point on which public opinion
will necessarily divide. Amid the din and
commotion of war, it has not been difficult TO
keep this subject out of sight. Every consid-,
crate mind, however, has long seen that this
question must soon arise, and become an abb
sorbing one. 1t would have been wise to,
shape our war policy with reference to such
a settlement of our sectional differences as
should prove practicable and adapted to the
nature of our governments. ~. >,- {,
The different views which must control
the sentiments of the people begin to be
| shadowed forth. The article we publish this
week from the the Louisville Journal sets
out very forcibly the doctrines which all con-
servative men have maintained from the be-
ginning of our unfortunate war. .& They are
the doctrines which the President himself
adopted in the earlier stages of the rebellion,
and to which wo have no doubt he will find
himself compelled to return. The: Seeded
States must be allowed and invited to come
back to the old Union, subject to no terms
or restrictions except only such as the Con-
sttution itself imposes. Any other position
necessarily involves revolution, and the over
throw Of the great fundamental principle Of
self-government.
The radical element of the country will.
Of course array itself against any such settle
ment Of the war. From the beginning, SO
far as they have been able, they have dictat-
ed to Mr.. Lincoln policy which aimed rath-
er at change in the elements of Southern
society than restoration of our government.
In this effort they have been SO far successful
We apprehend, as seriously to embarrass the
future and most important action Of the Ad-
mlnlstration. These persons, we may ex-
pect, will assail with all the ferocity natural
to the artificial minds any attempt to res tore
peace, which shall not embrace as primary
| condition the abolition of slavery. How far
| they have bclu able to educate public opn.

Loyalty

This word has been much in vogue for the
two years past, and it is not always easy to
comprehend precisely what is meant by tho
term as often used. We can readily under
stand that 1t is the solemn duty of every one
to sustain the regularly Organized govern
ment, while acting in its appropriate sphere.
1t is our duty as American citizen to uphold
the Government of the United States, and to
our utmost give it efficiency especially at
this time when traitorous hands seek its
overthrow. But, we beg to ask does not
true loyalty equally require US to sustain our
State Government The State organization
is not less part of our great American sys-
tenn of government, than the Federal. Can
man be truly loyal" who while he sup
ports the General Government with unques-
tonng subserviency, is doing all in his power
to depreciate and break down the State Ad-
minstration Yet for the last two or three
weeks, men and presses which lay special
claim to monopoly of loyalty" and patriot
ism, have been doing just this thing. Wit
ness the unscrupulous ferocity of their as
saults ON Governor Seymour. No candid
man can doubt that the Governor acted both
wisely and efficiently in the suppression of
the late disgraceful riots in New York. The
result amply justifies both his discretion and
energy. Yet from the beginning of the troub-
les, such presses as the Tribune the Times,
and the independent, have not for moment
90 sad In acsaIl him With ho
thets. and the most false and malicious impu-
tations. Happily for the peace and good or
der Of society, the very violence of their as
saults, have recoiled upon these malignants.
Gov. Seymour has been true to his duty and
equal to the emergency in which he is
thrown, and such Will be the verdict of the
people. --a4-- a'ai

WHAT Is A DOLLARf

We hear a great deal about the Almighty
Dollar, and have curiosity to know what it
is? Dollars may be Almighty, but the dol
| los is subject to many variations, and while it
was one thing yesterday, and another TO- day,
it may still be another to-tnortew, and so ou
to the crack Of doom. Indeed we may say
that the Dollar is the representative of change
though there is no change in circulation
and that is what 1t will bring, like that of
everything else-a bushel CT wheat, ton Of
coal, ashoddy Contract, or Congressman,
What is dollar? We can remember the
time when five of them would buy barrel of
flour or ton of coal when one of them
would buy ten, twelve or sixteen yards of
cotton shirting four of them would buy
pair of excellent boots. In the summer of
1861, ten thousand of them would buy ten
thousand barrels Of tar in New York city {;
but in the autumn of 1862. the tar cost forty
dollars barrel. A dollar once meant eight
pounds of coffee, three pounds of tea, twelve
pounds of sugar, or six pounds of butter.
Now it is a different matter although-worth
scarcely half as much. This dollar which
we speak of is harlequin-it goes and comes
and We cannot count it. Then, how differ
ent the dollars of different people are every
day in the year. The farmers dollars is as
heavy as mill stone. 1t represents real la
Dor all that is required to raise bushel of
wheat or two bushelsof corn, or four of oats
To him it is getting up before light and doing
chores after dark. See him lift it when lie
goes to market-lt does not part from him
lightly. But what an aerial thing is the dol
lar of a young merchant, stock specultor
or contractor, or a gambler. Its specific
gravity is zero. 1t does not mean so much
toll as tho farmers or Mechanics dollar, and
it jumps away at a hint. A fast horse can
haul great many of them, and fast women
can cover myriads of them with her skirts.
A dollar in Boston is one matter dollar in
San Francisco is another; della: IN Austalia
is another 4 dollar IN the country is twice
as large as a dollar in the city. A man has
five hundred of them year in the country,
and is rich he has thousand in the city
and is poor he has fifteen hundred and he is
no better two thousand and he will run in
debt. Public combinations make the dollar
60 farther and by living gregariouslY we can
buy newspaper for two cents, which would
cost a hundred dollars to manufacture if ev
cry man had the focls, an one man can rides
five mi los on the horsa railroad for e 20 oonF
whereas private team for the purpose would
cost three dollars. Hence we see that the
reign Of the Almighty Dollar is not absolute
but that it is to US just what we make it, as
it is to the counterfeiter, always providing
that We have one on hand.

A Draft st )ry.

We find the following in The Drawer Of
Harper's month"; r-
The enrolling officer of Salisbury District,
Maryland was very active and thorough In
the performance Of his duty. One Gay he
went to the house of countryman, and find
ing none of the male members at home, he
made inquiry of the old woman about the
number and age of the "males" of the family.
After naming several tie old lady stopped
dts there no one else 2" asked the officer
"No," replied the woman, 'none except Billy
Bray" "Billy Bray, where is he 2" she
was at the barn minute ago,' said the old
lady. Out went the officer, but could not
find the man. Coming back, the worthy off
Ger questioned the old lady as to the age Of
Billy, and went away, after enrolling his
name among those to be drafted. The time
of drafting came, and among those on whom
the lot fell was Billy Bray. No one knew
him. Where did he live ? The officer who
enrolled him was called on to produce, and
10 and behold, Billy Bray was a jackass J.
and stands now on the list of drafted men as
forming one of the quota of Maryland.

AMODEL COMPOSITION,

To boys and girls, who are perplexc to
know what to write about and how to write
it when required by their teachers to bring
"composition," We commend the following
model:
WINTER.-Winter is the coolest season of
the year because it comes in the winter. In
some countries winter comes in the summer,
and then it is very pleasant. wish winter
come in the summer in this country. kThen
could go skating bare foot and slide down hill
/ in linen trowsers. We could SNOWFALL with
out our fingers getting cold-and men who
60 out sleigh riding wouldn't havs to stop
at every tavern to warm, as they do now
1t SHOWS more in the winter than any other
season of the year. This is because so
many cutters and sleighs are made at that
time.
Ice grows much better in winter than IN
summer, which was an inconyenince before
the discovery of ice houses. Water that is
left out Of doors is aptto freeze at this season.
Some people take in their wells and cisterns
on a cold night and keep them by the fire so
they don't freeze.
Skating is great fun in the winter. The
| boys get their skates on when the river is
| frozen over, and race, play tag, break through
the ice and get wet all over, (they get drown.
| ed sometimes y fall and break their heads,
and enjoy themselves many other ways. A
wicked boy once borrowed my skates and ran
of with them and couldn't catch him.
Mother said judgment Will overtake him
one day. Judgment will have to be pret-
ty lively on its legs if it does, for no runs
bully.
There amt much sleigh riding except in
the winter-folks don't seem to care about
it in warm weather. The grow-up boys and
girls like TO do sleigh-riding The boys gen.
orally drive with one hand and help the girls
hold their muffs with the other Brother
Bob let me 60 along once when he took Celia
Crane out sleighing riding, and l tho ught he
paid more attention to holding the muff than
he did to holding the horses.
| Snow balling is another winter sport, |
| have snow -balled in the summer. But We
used stones and hard apples. 1t isn't So
amusing as it is in the winter, somehow.

EVILS OF IDLENEss.-Nine-tenth 4of the
miseries and vices of manhood proceed from
idleness; with men OF quick minds, to whom
it is especially pernicious, this habit is COM
monty the fruit of many d,sappointments, ,and
scheme oft 5afiled and men fail in their
schemes,not so much for the want of strength
as the ill direction OF it. The weakest living
creation, by concentrating his powers on a
single subject, can accomplish something !;
che strongest, by dispensing his, over many
may fail to accomplish anything, The drop,
by continued falling, borcs its passage through
the hardest rock-the hasty torrent rushes
over it, and leaves no.trace behind,

The Fredericksburg correspondent Of
the Tallahassee "Floridan" tella the
following strange story:
"While speaking of peace, there is .
legend connected with spring near
Fredericksburg, which I will relate for
the benefit Of the curious. According
10 tradition, this spring was discovered
running three months before the revolu.
tinnsry war. 3 months before treaty Of
peace il dried up and ceased to him. I,
commenced running again three months
before tho war Of lel3, and three
months before its close, ~ in the Revo.
'n,ionary war, it again dried ur, and 30
with the Mexican war. Three months
before the fall OF Fort Sumter it again
commenced running, and : short time
since dried up. I give as my author
for this an aged man, who was born
and is living near the spring, and who
has considerable property, and offers to
bet it all that We viii have peace in
three months from the drying up Of the
spring"
