Thus it will be perceived that the great masses

ofthe marching for over a mile down Broadway Of
some fourteen white conscripts, who were chained
together by couples, by a chain attached to the

in citizens clothes. Spectators on the sidewalks

We are apt to be free with urjokes

bow to the necessity Of recourse to
their hard earned and often ill-rcqui-

physicians frown upon whatever devi-

usages, arises from the fact that their
better information leads them soonest
to detect and discard the medical delu-

BUTTERNUTs.-Some of our friends
have frequently asked us for an cxpla-
nation Of the term "Butternut,' wheth-
er it is one OF honor Or opprobium. To
the party to which it is applied it is
singularly appropriate. 1t is pecu-
liarly appropriate name, style, and
designation for that class of men who
sympathize with rebellion, but lack tho
nerve to aid it in the battlefield. Tho
wood of the tree is soft, green andworth-
less; the fruit shriveled, mcagcr, and
generally mouldy and worm eaten, and
the peculiar color impaired by tho
bark, a dirty brown u sort of mulat-
to, with dirt predominant. Verify, if
color be selected to represent princi-
pie, or rather want of principle, tho
butternut is the one. 'Tis tho one in
in which nature clothes all things ap-
proachng decay. We know of no liv-
ing animal that effects the color except
it be a yellow dog, and it is a singular
fact in natural history that dogs Of that
color kill sheep and suck eggs in fact
are the butternuts ofthe canine race
OF truth, the name as now used, Is
appropriate and symbolic. Our read
ors can choose between "butternut"
and "Coppcrhead. ."-Huntinghcn Jour
