OUR SEAcOAsT Cities During the Revolu.
tionary war there was not single seaboard city
which was rot in possession of the enemy. Some
Of them, New York for example, they took aud
held during the whole seven years. And they
might have held them for seventy without affect
ing the vitality of the cause of independence. The
British themselves were aware of this, and, when
the war of 1912 began, the Duke of Wellington
advised the British Cabinet that it useless to
attempt the conquest of America, that nothing
could be done beyond capturing few scaboard or
river cities, and that beyond the Immediate neigh
borhood Of the great rivers no permanent foothold
could be gained in the extensive and sparsely set
tied territory of the interior. The progress of the
war of 1872 proved the accuracy of the Dukes
counsel and the same is true COW Of the South. It
would have been better for US, in our opinion, if
we had never attempted to hold Vicksburg, or any
of our Mississippi or seaboard cities. We are not
certain but it would be true wisdom at once to
evacuate those which remain, and at least save
our soldiers and munitions of war Some of these
cities have been positive injury TO the Confed-
crate cause, with their blockade running and Yam
kee trade. But we must economize our soldiers
Weimust not suffer any more of them to fall into
Yankee traps and pitfalls.

who have been traitorous to the Government, who
shall be held infamous and disfranchised forever.
Art. 4. The property of all traitors to be confs-

erners, and ndemnites for all indignities to per-
sons, loss of time, life and property.
Art. Z. The removal of the cause of all our
difficulties, which can only be done by the imme-
date and unconditional abolition of slavery
Art. 8. Until full compliance with all of the
above terms, the so-called Confederate States to
be held and governed as United States territory.
The above is the least that an iudulgeut people
will accept; outraged as they have been by the
foulest most heinous and gigantic instance of
crime recorded in history" So say the yankees.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. l.-About sixty per.
sons chiefly the heads of families and residents
Of this city and vicinity, who are believed to be
aiders and abettors of the rebellion, or strong
sympathizers with it, have been ordered by Gen.
Ewing to remove from the District The list in-
cudes many of the wealthiest and most influential
families in this vicinity. Their houses will be
taken for the families of Union refugees.
Il number of orders for the removal of leading
sympathzers at Westport aud Independence are also
being made out.
Washington Hunt addressed large meeting at
Lockport, N. Y, on the 4th, in opposition to the
abolition policy of the administration aud in favor
of restoring the Union. A petition was presented
TO Lincoln asking him to revoke his proclamation,
&c. The proceedings Of the meeting were adopt
ed with enthusiasm.
The N. Y. World says the crops in the West
are greatly damaged by frost. The wheat is all
secured, but the corn crop is cut off twenty per
cent. Two-thirds of the tobacco crop will be
saved, while Northern grown cotton is utterly de-
stroyed. This last frost will prove costly disaster
to the West. 1t will subtract ten millions from
the wealth. of the country.

. ARTIFICIAL "SIAMEsE. TwINs"-A curious
experiment was lately made at SEasburg to effect
the union of two animals, so that they might, to a
certain degree, have life in common 1t was.
indeed, producing artifcially what nature produc-
ed spontaneously in those phenomena, the Siamese
twins. Two white rats of the Albino species were
selected for the experiment. An incision was
made In the right side of the one, and on the left
of the other, engaging the skin and the cellular
tissue under it. The surfaces Of the Two wounds
were. kept closely together by sutures and 6anda-
tentfon was found TO have taken place. They
then walked side by side, being united by Aeshy
band An attempt to posion both BY the mouth
of one did not succeed, but an injection thrown
into the jugular vein of one animal was found to
have entered the superficial femoral veins of the
other, showing clearly that an intimate vascular
union had already taken place between them.
