TIE Boston Commonwealth, Senator Suns

allusion to Gen. Banks:

Will the editors be imprisoned ? Never by
this Administration. We call upon God and
the whole American people to witness the par

officer upon his Government, he is arrested

POWER OF GENrLENESs-No bad man is
ever brought to repentance by angry words ;
by bitter, scornful reproaches. He fortifes
himself against reproof and huEls back foul
charges in the face Of his accuser. Yet guilty
and hardened as lie seems, be has a heart in
his bosom, and may be melted to tears by a
gentle voice. Whose, therefore, can restrain
his disposition to blame and find fault, and
can bring himself down to a fallen brother,
will soon find way to better feelings within
Pity and patience are the two keys which un
lock the human heart. They who have been
most successful laborers among the poor and
vicious, have been the most forbeariug. Said
the celebrated ST. Vincent de Paul: "If it
has pleased Heaven to employ the most mise
rable of men for the conversion of some souls,
they have themselves confessed that it was by
the patience and sympathy which he had for
them. Even the convicts, among whom
have lived, can be gained in no other way
When have kissed their chains, and showed
compassion for their distress, and keen sensi>
bility for their disgrace-then have they lis
tened to me. and placed themselves in the way
of salvation.- ". Taylor.

A Man OF BoxE.-Here is a curious fact
for you. The flesh of living man once grew
into bone. 1t seems hard to believe, but we
suppose il was so for 10 the museum at Dub
lin, ireland, there is, or was, the skeleton of
one Clark. a native of the city of Cork, whom
they call the ossifed man, one of the greatest
curiosities of nature. 1t is the carcass Of a
man entirely ossifed in bis lifetime. living in
that condition for several years. Those who
knew him before this surprising alteration, at.
firm that be was man of great strength and
agility. He felt the first symptoms of this
surprising change some time after debauch,
till, By slow degrees, every part grew into
bony substance. except his skin, eyes and in
tes;ines bis joints settled il such manner
that DO ligament had its proper operation; be
could not lie down nor rise without assistance.
He had at last no bend in his body, yet when
be was placed upright, Ike a stone, he could
stand but could not move iu the least. His
teeth were joined and formed into one entire
bone therefore hole was broken through
them to convey liquid snstenance for his Dou-
rishment. The tongue lost lis use, and bis
sight left him some time before he expired.

REDUCTION OF WAGEs.-The introduction of
a large number of contrabands in the loyal"

promises to be productive Of much mischief.
The St. Louis Republican, Of a late date. says:
Until recently white men-men Of nerve and

in the world by few years of toil-were the
recipients of good wages, and were in comfoita-

BIG THING on JERSEY LAwYER.-0ur

of New York, tells a good joke on Jersey
lawyer. The hero of our sketch, during the
last hot summer months, used occasionally to
worship at the shrine of Gambrinus, lager
King on Broadway. Que sweltering day be
got mellow, having moistened his thorax too
much with the German beverage, and pro-
ceeded to navigate to bis Office. He took up
q substantial looking white hat, and with "a
ther puzzled look was making an attempt to
put it on sideways. OF course it wouldn't 6t.
He looked inside, holding it up towards the
light, and read aloud Jonas Scooter, Esq,
Attorney at Law, jersey City"
Soliloquy-" That's my hat. of course it is. :"
Another attempt to put it on sideways-no
use; again taking it of. and reading, Jonas
Scooter" etc.
After another trial, and finding it didn't ft
the gentleman commenced feeling all over his
head, evidently as if to assure himself that DO
protuberance had suddenly declared itself
Having satisfied himself on that point, he once
more read the address, had another trial. and
still sideways. There he stood perfectly mys-
tilted; but an idea lighted up his face, and he
called the waiter, whom he apostFophized thus
Can you read writiug?"

"WelI, will you be good enough to tell me
whose hat this is?"
Herman took the head-case, and having

Now AND THEN.-With republicans now,
a test Of loyalty is TO be in favor Of a negro
army. In the days of the Revolution, no such
test was recognized on the side of the patriots,
as is evidenced by the following resolution
adopted By the Committee of Safety during
the Revolution and signed among others, by
John Hancock:
Resolved That the admission Of any persons
as soldiers into the army now raising, but only
such persons as are freemen, will be incon-
sistent with the principles that are to be sup
ported and reflect dishonor upon the colonies,
and that no slaves be admitted into our armies

THE NEWS FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
Further Intelligence from Gen. Fosters 5
Command.
The Dudley Buck brings the following
further intelligence from North Carolina:
The statements that reinforcements had re-
turned TO Newborn, is denied. There was
some doubt, however, in regard to their ability
to escape the rebels A remark of one of the
officers at Newbern, just before the Dudley
Buck put of, on Thursday evening, correctly
indicated the state of affairs: "If our forces
reach we are safe; if not we are gone"
Trustworthy accounts from the fo:ces which
were retreating on Newbern state that there
had been no fighting OF importanc between
them and the rebels Had, however, our troops
crossed the bridge over Swift creek, which they
intended TO cross, they could not have avoided
capture. Newhern is SO strongly fortified, as
TO be safe with moderate garrison.
Three gnnboats-the Miami, the Delaware
and the Valley City-were dispatched from
Fortress Monroe on Monday or Tuesday last to
Little Washington.
The Valley City only passed up. She carried
no troops, but it is believed she took a quantity
OF ammunition. The Miami had not gone up.
No intelligence had reached Newbern concern
ing the Delaware.
The gunboats at little Washington are stated
10 be the Louisiana, the Commodore Hull and
the Valley City. Only the Louisiana is tit for
service.
General Foster will therefore be compelled
to depend upon himself almost exclusive
unless the other gunboats which We're ord cred
to his assistance reach him.
