An Instance Of Mercantile In.
tegPity.

The Boston Journal records the follow
ing: "About twenty years ago, young
man. named Thomas Hardy, of Soush Dan
vers, in this State, meeting with misfortune
in business determined TO leave his native
town, aud seek his fortune in the West,
with the firm resolve that, if Providence
smiled upon his efforts, he would return
and pay his debts to the utmost farthng.
After struggling for long time at the
West, with varied success, he proceeded to
California about six years ago, and there
accumulated a handsome fortune. Having
thus accomplished his desires, he recently
returned to South Danvers for the purpose
OF cancelling the claims of his old creditors.
This he did in full, paying both principal
and interest, amounting to twenty five
thousand dollars. While doing business in
South Danvers, be had partner, whose
share of the debts Of the firm he has liqul,
dated as we'll as his own. Not satisfied
with this, he made number of generous
gifts, and, on Monday evening gave splen'
did entertainment to his old friends and as
sociates.
"Such incidents as this are an honor tc
human nature, and furnish bright exam
pie for young merchants and business me1

Antietam and McClellan's Re.
port.

The Tribune informs us, apparently by
authority, that the publication of General
McClellan's report is not to be though of
at this time" We presume the reason of
this to be that since the President, after
reading the report, has made up his mind
that Antietam was great victory, Mr..
Stanton fears the general public might be
led to the same conclusion. So far as the
report itself is concerned, few months or
years more or less delay in publishing it is
a slight matter 1t belongs to history, and
will be read by the eager eyes Of millions
when Mr.. Stanton is remembered only as
one of many marplots in the great national
drama in which the victor Of Antietam will
fill his leading part.
But the soldiers who fought in that
stricken field, and the living millions for
whom they fought, have some rights in the
premises, and since they long ago came to
the verdict which President Lincoln has
somewhat tardily endorsed, the War De
partment will really gain nothing by de
priving them Of those rights.

Of the Rebel Agents
Abroad.

i The rebels are working like beavers II
the foreign courts to advance the interest
Of the confederacy. Their agents are IN
dustriously employed in every country o
Europe, not alone in diplomatic missions
but ia the construction of iren clads, the
purchase of arms, and the disposal Of South
ern bonds. In addition to the regular mil
fitary and naval agents scattered thickiy al
over the continent, there are numerous
representatives of the rebel interest en-
gagged in furthering the cause OF the Con
federate government The pirate Florida
recently landed three of these parties at
Cork, and it has been rumored and believed
in Paris that one of them was Alexander
H. Stevens, 1t is not very probable, how
ever, that Mr.. Stephens was one Of the
party. His recent movements here would
not indicate that he was passenger on the
Florida, as he would scarcely have
had time since his last appearance
in public to accomplish European
voyage in the rebel privateer. Besides
his name is not among those mentioned by
our corresE ondent as one OF the three gen
tlemen landed from the lo:iia; l.or is it
likely that Mr.. Stephens would conceal his
name, which would be useless, as his person
would be well known to most Americans
in Europe. But, whether the Vice Presl-
dent Of the rebel government has gone to
Europe or not, it is certain that It's agents
are to be found " " where abroad, work
ing industriously in behalf Of treason. |
is said that R NJ L. Hunter is about pro
ceeding to Mexico, to represent the South
with the new government there. Nor are
these agents idle. One of the rams recent
ly built in the English dockyards is now on
her way to our shores, and it has just been
discovered that several gunboats for the
rebels are being fitted out in the ports OF
France
Thus, while our armies are putting down
the rebellion at home, it is evident that
there is trouble brewing on the sea, and
that the integrity of the United States may
have to be maintained upon the ocean as
well as upon land. Therefore it will not
do for Mr.. Secretary Wellss to stroke his
long beard complacently in the office OF
the Navy Department, Or to pay flying Wis,
it's to the navy yards and take survey OF
our war ships from quarter deck to lore
castle, and return to Washington, knowing
as much about the condition of the navy as
when he started on his tour. He must be
vigorous and prompt to meet the impend-
ing emergency. There is danger on the
ocean and danger on our coasts and in our
harbors, which must be provided against by
the speedy equipment of all our naval
force now in the ship yards and the active
occupation of the vessels aAoat, as well as
the protection of our coast defences. We
cautioned the government before upon
the proceedings going on in the dockyards
of Europe. We warn them now, and es-
pecally Mr.. Welles, to be prepared for ap-
preaching trouble, and not be caught nap.

What it Leads To.

The Republicans ascribe the fall of Vicks
burg and Port Hudson to negroes, forget
ting the services OF white volunteers. The
next argument will be, Those who fight
shall understanding that negro troops axe
the equals of white soldiers, aud that negro
voters are the equals of wSite freemen.- :
That this is their real design is certain. Let
them speak for themselves They declared
it,once, and are now carrying ont their pro
ject in secrecy, by gradual advances, to
avoid suspicion and direct opposition.
On the 10th of October, 1854, Abraham
Lincoln delivered a speech at Peoria, lih-
nois, in which he used the following Ian
guage:
"What do say is, that NJ man is good
enough TO govern another man without the
others coasent [ say this is the leading
principle, the SHEET ANCHOR Of .Ame1f-
can Republicaaism Our Declaration OF In
dependence says:
''We hold these truths 60 be self-evident,
that all men are created equal; that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain IN
alienable rights; that among these are life,
LIBERTY, and the pursuit OF happiness
That to secure these rights. Governments
are instituted among men, DERIVING THEIR
JUST POWER FROM THE CONSENT OF THE GOV
ERNEDn
II have quoted so much at this time,
merely to show that, according TO our an
cient faith, the powers OF Government are
derived from the consent OF the governed.
Now, the relation of master and slave is
pro tanto, q total oiolation Of This principle
The master not only governs the stare with
out his consent, but be governs him by a
set Of rules altogether different from those

is self government."--HOoceFs Life Of Lin

The Copperheads Of the southern part Of

crisis. A battalion of the 10th Illinois
Cavalry, who have been arresting desert
els in Fayette and adjoining counties, were
last night attacked at Vandalia, by four
hundred armed Copperheads. who attempt.
ed to release the deserters in their charge.
They were led by an officer formerly in the

were repulsed with loss of several killed
and wounded. The cavalry force is fully
able to protect itself. Accounts from other
parts of the State show that the Copper
heads are ripe for any movement.

THE CHAIN-GANGs or oFGLORY.-The news
papers are full of items like the following
"a file of conscripts and deserters were
marched down the avenue to-day, chained
together and handcuffed."
DeserterS must, of course be punished
for deserting; and copscripts, who are indie
cent enough not to rejoice, as the admins
tration organs constantly assure us that
conscr;pts do rejoice, a. being conscripted
may perhaps be handcufied into happier

that there is something rather grotesque in
the spectacle of soldiers Of the Union
