the public mind that war will not restore the
Union but il has not its rise in any secret orders.
The extent Of secret orders may be equal to the

be some bad men connected With them, but that
such agencies can ever be used to overthrow the
Government, we do not believe We are op-
posed now. ever have been. TO secret politi-
cal organizations. but il must not be forgotten
that their members have the same interests in
preserving the Government every other citizen.
and certainly as much as those who are over
riding the Constitution to perpetuate party rule
From whence comes the information about
the designs OF these secret orders? From spies
from peuurersf What confidence can be placed
in the statement Of any who will violate his
honor and his oath? Bur the righteousness Of
the developments is illustrated in this statement
OF the Journal;
While they enter the battle, side by side, with
atrue and loyal soldier they have the power in
the shock Of arms to save themselves from the
rebel bullet. with assurance OF their protection
and support.
What an absurdityl No man who has ever
been upon battlefield would state or believe
such stuff In the shock of battle when cur
tain of smoke almost conseals the opposing ar
mics from each other. by what sign would any
man save himself from rebel bullet?
But enough for to-day. We cannot but express
our conviction that these secret orders exceed
ing clever scare-crows. which have successfully
alarmed the weak nerves of some of our Repub
lican officials.

Husband Catching.

or q certain divine an anecdote is told, !
which Hook used to say exceeded any
specimen OF cool assurance that ever he
had seen exhibited. A young clerical
friend OF his staying al friends house,
happened to be sitting up one night, read
ing, after the family, as he supposed, had
retired TO rest. The door opened, and
his excellent host re-appeared in his
dressing. gown and slippers.
"My dear boy" said the latter, seating
himself, and looking pathetically, at his
guest, "I have q few words ~ say DONE
look alarmed, they will prove agreeable
enough 10 you, rely upon it. The fact is,
Mrs. - and myself have, fer some time,
observed the attention which you have
paid 70 Betsey. We can make every al
lowance, knowing your excellent princi.
pies as we do, for The difidence which has
hitherto tied your tongue, but it has been
carried far enough. In worldly point
OF view, Betsey OF course nigh! DO better,
yet all have the highest esteem for your
character and disposition, and then our
daughter, she is very dear TO us, and,
when her happiness is at stake, all minor
considerations must give way. We have,
therefore, after due delberation, i must
own not altogether without hesilation;-
made up our minds TO the match. What
n. ust be, must be- you are worthy fel.
low, and, therefore, at a wordt you have
our free and cordial consent. Only make
our child happy, and we ask no more"
The as.onished divine, half petrifed,
laid down his book.
"My dear SIR" he began TO murmur
"here is some dreadful mistake. / really
never thought, that is, l never in
tended"
"No, no, know you did not. Your
modesty, indeed, is one Of those traits
which have made you SO deseryedly ia
yorite with US all.
"Bu,, my dear boy, parents eyes
are chary. Anxiety sharpens them
We saw well enough what you thought
SO well concealed. Betsey, too, is just The
girl TO be SO won. Well, well say nc
more about it it's all over now. God
bless you both I Only make her good
husband--here she is. l have told Mrs
- to bring her down again, for the
sooner you young folks are out Of sus
pense the better. Settle the matter as
soon as you like; we will leave you to-
gether."
Thus saying, the consideratc papa be-
slowed most affectionste kiss upon his
daughter, who was at this junciure led
into the room by her mother, both en-
disha5ille, shook his future on.in-lay
cordially by the hand, and with Ether
60, 60 along, Mrs. -" turned his viii
, out Of the room, and left the lovers {?
to their tete-a-tete. What was to be done
Common humanity, to say nothing Of pc
liteness, demanded nothing less than
proposal. 1t was rendered accordingly
and, we need scarcely add, very graciousl.

Another Straw from England.

The uprising of the people Of England
in favor of the American Union, and their
approval OF the determination of the loyal
States to put down the rebellion, no mat
ter what the cost, may explain some re-
cent movements on the part Of the British
government, and some changes in even
the most rabid OF the British presses.
The withdrawal Of the consul from
Charleston, and the order Of the Alabama
out Of two West India ports, within few
weeks past, the universal condemnation
Of the Lord Mayor of London for inviting
refugee rebe! to an official feast, are
straws, perhaps, but they show which
way the wind is now setting. The follow
ing extract from the LONDON Times ia an.
other straw worth noticing:
Between North and South there is al
this moment raging controversy which
goes as deep as any other controversy can
into the elementary principles OF human
nature, and the sympathies and antipa'
thies which, in SO many men, supply the
place of reason and reflection.
The North is for freedom, and the
SCUM is for slavery. The Moth is fol
freedom OF discussion, the South represse:
freedom Of discussion with the tar brush
and pine fsggoi. The South has become
euamored oi her shame. Free labor il
denounced as degrading and disgracefrl
The honest triumphs of the poor man who
works his way to independence, are treated
with scorn and contempt"
