a ludes to woman in the gang whose
siren yth of will and nerve batiled all his
cndeavors to master her schemes. In
private conversation here Mr.. Burton has
alluded often to this woman as the wife OF
one Of the conspirators, but whose name,
for obvious reasons, we cannot now pub
lsh.
The mysterious part OF the magazine
sketch, namely, the power of f."Mr. Sid
ney" to read the character and history OF
an individual by his handwriting. we can
not throw much light on, as he made but
little mention Of his skill in this respect
among his friends here. That he was
skiIf4I expert in detecting handwriting
is, however, well-knowu fact, and on one
occasion forgery on one of our banks, of
which clerk in prominent River street
business house had been suspected, and
who was under police surveillance in con-
sequence, was, by Mr.. Burton, in an in-
stantaneous glance at the writing, fastened
on one of the gang of conspirators.
He even mentioned the day on which
the forgery was committed, and stated
that on that day the person he mentioned
would DC found stopping at one of the
hotels under one of three or four assumed
names. Instant search proved that the
person in question had stopped that day
at hotel under such name. How far
this incident may 60 to support the strange
story of "Mr. Sidney's' extraordinary
powers, our readers can judge for them
selves.

THE AaEoF Our EARTH. Among the
astounding discoveries of modern science
Is that OF the immcnce periods that have
passed in the gradual formation of the
earth So vast were the cycles of the
time preceding the appearance even of man
on the surface of our globe, that our own
period seems as yesterday when compared
with the epochs that have gone before it.
'ffad we only the evidence Of the deposits
of rocks heapel above each other in regu-
lar strata by the slow accumulation of ma
terials, they alore would convince us of
the long and slow maturing Of Gods work
on cath: but when we add to these the
successive populations Of whose life this
world has been the theatre, and whose re-
mains are hiaden in the rocks into which
the mad or slni or soil of whatever kind
on which they lived has hardened in the
course Of time--or the enormous chains OF
mountrins whose upheaval divided these
periods Of qliet accumulation by great
commissions the changes Of a different
nature in the coudguration of our globe.as
the sinking Of lands beneath the ocean, or
the gradual rising Of continents and is-
lands above or the slow growth Of the
coral reefs, those wonderful sea-walks,
raised by the little ocean architects whose
own bodies furnish both the building stones
and cemeat that binds them together, and
who have worked so busily during the
long centuries, that there are extensive
Countries, mountaig chains, islands. and

mains-or the countless forests that have

Letter from Major General
Hitchcock.

The following from Major General E.
\. Hitchcock, Advising General of the
War Department, was called out by an
erroneous and inaccurate publication of
the testimony given by him before the
Mcdowell Court Of Inquiry
To the Edjtor Of tile Daily Chronicle:
SIR The New York Times contains
what was designed to be received by the
public as a report of my testimony before
the Mcdowell Court, now Ia session In
this city, but it is full Of errors and inac-
curacics Of all sorts.
The court asked my opinion touching
the responsibilities in case Of a disobedi-
cuce Of orders by Gen. Mcclellan, in not
leaving for the security Of Washington
the force desi gnatcd by the four command
crs OF the four army corps composing the
Army OF the Potomac.
In answering this question, Iplaced the
responsibility where military law and
army usage has always placed it-with
the officer who, as was assumed in the
question, had dsobeyed the order--to
wit, with Gen. Mcclellan and not with
the President, who, in making good his
original order, by the detention of part
of McDowell's corps in front of Wash
ugton, merely took necessary step to
repair mischief committed by General
Mcclellan himself, in not attending to
the order Of the Sth of March, which was
reiterated through the Secretary OF War
on the 18th Of the same month.
In the Times report OF my testimony,
this portion of it is inverted, and l am
put forward-I am bound to suppose by
accident-as placing the responsibility
with the President, AMI not with Gen.
Mcclellan.
1Iy opinion was, ana WAS 50 stated to
the Court, that Gen. Mcclellan, in DIS
obeying the orders of the President, took
upon himself the responsibility for all
consequences that might follow such dis
obedience. This is plain military prin-
ciple, which every soldier understands.
| will adj here that Gen. McClellan's
proper course, under the orders OF the
President, was first to obey the order
punctually aud precisely, and then to con-
sider whether he had sufficient force left
tor the execution OF MS plah ol SoliS W
Richmond via Yorktown and the Penln-
sula IF not, lie should have reported to
the President before starting on his expe-
dition. Ii, in that case, the President
had required him to proceed in the execu-
ton of his plans, all the world would have
placed the responsibility at the door of
President. Gen. Mcclellan did not do
this, Respectfully, &C.,
f. A. HiTCHCoCK.

sustained. 1hls was the great Tact on
which the now traitorous Democracy built
its hopes of success. While the brave
soldier battled on the field for his coun-
try, he was to be betrayed at home
While the garrison of the citadel met the
foe outside, they were to find that the
gates had been opened to the enemy by
the traitors within.
Another weapon used by these enemies
of the country has been derived from the
atmosphere of nviolabiity which has for
so iDany years been thrown about the sys-
TEN Of slavery. From the earliest mem
ory Of men living, the term, "Abolition-
st" has beea reproaeh and a stumbling
block Slavery was deemed almost di-
vine, and at any rate, was so hedged in
by law and constitutional immunity, that it
was profanity to NEEDLE with it.
These views have dcmoralizcd mems
minds anl thousands are to-day honestly
affected by them without being conscious
Of their thralom. The first open utter
ances Of disloyal men at the North, were
spoken in the attempt to excite disltfcct-
ion on the plea that the war was really to
be prosecuted not for the Union, bat
against slavery. The administration
early gave the lie to these declarations,

ADDRESS.
To the Republicans and

the armies Of the Republic are engage
in supprcssing the rebellion at the South
traitors are rearing their heads at th'
North. The course of events, in thC
history of this country, for the thirty
years succeeding the year 1870, trainet
a set of politicians in the North, in TIN
habit and practice of the deepest abase
lnent to the institution of African slav-
cry, aud this habit and practice Were
strengthened and upheld By ar appeal tc
the selfish natures Of the defenders o.
slavery at the North, through the fact that
during this period the influence of slavery
was dominant in the counscls of the ma.
tion, aud was thus able to apportion lis
rewards to its followers.
The poison which this ac,urscl system
/ infuses into the minds of its defenders has
never been eradicated, but has been held
back in all its dcadljucss during the tive
years of the present war, and now seem
/ ing to gain new vitality from its rest,

As the occupation and pleasures of
childhood produce powerful impression
on the memory, it is probable almost every
reader who has passed his infantie day
in an English nursery rccollects the de-
light with which he repeated that puerile
jinglug legend, "the house that Jack
built" Very few, however, are at all
aware OF the original form of its CONF
position, or the particular subject it was
designed to illustrate. And fewer still
would suspect it is only an accommodate

parabolical hymn. sung by the Jews at

GJ The following is one of the concluding par agraphs of the message of Gov F. R. Lubbock, of Texas
 The old year closed brightly for us, and the new year opened most propitiousy. Let us be hopeful, watchful and prayerful. Let each and every one of us determine to forget self and by precept and example encourage every man in the broad land to devote himself his means and his abilities to the service of his country. Let us give to our govern ment-the government of choice and our at fection---an earnest support. Let us sustain and cherish that patriot, warrior, statefman, whom we unanimously; and with one accord, selected to pre- side over our destinies, and to guide our ship Of state through the turbulent sea of revolution, who by his ability, energy, and devoted assdnty to the welfare of the country and interests of the people, deserves nations gatitude! Let US with heart and soul resolve to rally around those brave and gallant captains who daily lead our lnvincible and unconquerable armies to victory! Let us continue to fill up our ranks upon their demand, should 1t take our last man and last dollar, looking neither to foreign nations or the corrupt democra- cy of the North for aid. Depend alone upon God, our strong arms and brave hearts, victory will soon perch upon every banner, and an honorable peace be conquered.

 While following up the charge of Gen. McCewns division he mt body of prisoners moving to the rear, and intent upon anitern, at once struck up 8 conversation with them. Unfortunately he was arrayed in cerulean habiliments, and upon attempting to leave was ordered by the guard to remain where he was. With smile of ineffable contempt, he drew from his pocket a pass but what was his chagrin when was ac costed with, "I say, my boy none ofus can read; but that thar tricks too old, and r ] tell yer another thing, yer damn blue~belled Yankees If you try any more ofthem lodges IT souze this thing into yer gzzard.'
 Think of that oh, ye tribe of brother quill drivers. The editor of this paper, the leadiug journal of the South, to be called Yankee, and to be accredited with possessing azure abdomen. To add tn his distress, the prisoners with whom he had been conversing, enjoying the joke, stated that he was one of their officers and the result was approximation which avaed nothing and our dignfied editor was marched into the town square amidst the curses of little boys and the jeers of niggers fellows.
