BosH.-A rebel editor says the South will
see her cities laid in ruins and sown with
salt before she will surrender. Fudge -
We like strong figure Of speech, but then
rhetoric ought always to keep within the
bounds of probability. Now, salt is worth
$50 sack in Dixie, and to SOW ruins with a
material so costly, would be as extravagant
as to fortify city with cotton at $500 per
bale.-Chicago Post

fGHAND RALLY FORTHE UNION.
Basket Picnic ee Magnolia. Illinois,
on Thursday, August ~, 1868.

Since the recent glorious victories Of our arms,
1t is considered highly proper by all trns patriotic
Cnion men in this vicinity, to call for day
Of rejoicing. By consultation and advice Of many
Union citizens In the river townsof Peru L. Sale,
Henepiu, Lostant, and Tonica, also Of the hume
1ous councils in the interior villages 1t has been
deemed adyiaable to call such meeting in the above
named eligible and central location. 1ssac N.
Arnold, n. C., of Chicago, the eloquent champion
Of the Illinois River aud Canal Improvement, has
consented to address the meeting. Also, Hon.
Mark Bangs AID Mr.. Doal, Of Lscon, and. health
permitting. Hon. Owen Loyejoy, n. G. Governor
Yates and John 4. Logan have been Invited, and
It Ia confidently believed one, II not both. Will at
tend to address the meeting. The Treasutcrs OF
the Lades' Soldiers Aid Societies Of La Sale and
Pntuan counties viii set tables on the occasion,
for the benefit OF their respective societies. Let
the people by thousands give their hearts aud time
to this day Of rejoicing for the great success OF
our noble President and his victorious armies.
Bands Of music are invited and expected to ac-
company the delegations
by order Of tho Committee,

In speaking Of the management Of this no.
bic Institution, the secesh organ on Randolph
street says:
"The management Of this and other Soldiers,
Homes. ts last drifting abolitionward In many Of
these establishments the soldiers are bored with
t1acts and pestercd with political diatribes from
people Who know nothing more Of the subject on
which they attempt to converse than does au In
fant- So much has this rule obtained that already
our soldiers, the large majority of whom are Dcm.
ocrats, shun these eo-ca1led homes as they TooId
a pest house, prefe.ItnK outside chsuce of l.ood
bodily treatment to inside certainty Of insu!t.7f
In reply to this, we hare only to say that
the paper that contained this article was
thrown upon the floor at the home, and torn
to atoms beneath the feet Of the soldiers, as
an expression Of their disgust for the con-
temptib1e lying sheet. Strange proceedings
Tor soldiers, "a large m.jo1ity Of whom are
Democrats!" OF those who have not "shun-
Md theae so-called Homes as they would a
pest house." there appears to be yet quite a
respectable number. Five hundred and forty
meals @ere given to soldiers there on Sunday
and stu larger number yesterday. We
ehould not be surprised If the cur who wrote
the scu1ri1ous article in resard to Mrs. Hos.
MGR and the Soldiers Home, be Kicked ont
by this Board Of Directresses, as he has been at
the Home of the Fdendless, Old Laaies'
Home, Board Of Trade, and al other loyal In
