VIt has bccn truthfully remarked by The

1It has been truthfully remarked by The
friends Of tho Administration, in their reccn,
controversies with the so-callcd peace advo'
Gates, that no anti.war party has ever sue
cccded in this country. In the Revolutionary
struggle the tories only succeeded in gaining
immortal infamy. The apti.war party OF
1912 Jared little better. Their opposition to
tho war killed them efTectually, and We all
remember how the orators OF the Wing par
ty were accustomed to repel with indignant
eloqucnco, the accusation Of their Democratic
opponents. that they were the Federalists.
In order to kill party 1t was only necessary
to provo its connection with that odious Or
ganizatiou. .. ....
In the present struggle, pcace-on.any.
terms party has shown itself, and under
various forms, by false protenses and on local
issuses, has succeeded in gaining loothold
in some of the Northern States. But as
every thoughtful man foresaw, its real pur.
posses were no sooner made known, than a
reaction commenced, which is rapidly bring
ing its leaders into contempt, and will soon
consign them to the same infamy which
awaited their predecessors. Tho chief i'm.
plements Of their warfare against tho Gov.
ernment have been vile Misrepresentation,
unscrupulous falschood, and u cry about tho
violation of constitutional rights. They
have pictured the Governmental Washington
rs despotism worse than that Of Austria
they havo endeavored to set up this General
or the other General as martyr; they have
tried by the bascst means to spread discon'
tent among our soudiers, and to excite q
spirit Of insubordination.
Have they succeeded No they have flood.
cd the land with abuse and falschood; they
have employed tho cunning and ingenuity OF
fiends to aid tho cause of rebellion. Every
Southern paper that comes to our hands,
brings praise for these mon and couples their
names with those of tho traitors whose hands
arc red with blood. And for this very reason
they had failed. The people Of the North.
ern States are thoroughly loyal, and they
have no idea of allowing tho war to stop un.
til the full triumph of the Union is achieved.
They have discovered that this peace oon.any-
terms party is in league with treason, and
they are putting it aside with tho scorn it
deserves. In New York II failed utterly. ex-
cept ln'brining itself into contempt |; and u
will fail everywhere, because 1t has made
promises II can never. fulfill, and because 1t
is hostile to the loyal sentiments of tho peo.
pie. II the Administration hns made mis-.
takes, that is no reason why we should join
tho enemies Of tho country, and tho people
will not tolerate such treachery to tho good
old cause OF tho Union.-Erd, N. o..

A dame for Little Folks.

The American Agriculturist thus describes
q game that used to afford 'us children much
mirth: fI...N .
One of tho party being provided with slate
and pencil. calls on eaolf Of tho others In
turn to name some descriptive adjective, as
good, pretty. ugly, long. short, etc. These
arc written in column at the left Of tho
slate. The writer then places his pencil op.
posito one Of tho words, and calls for the
name Of ono Of tho party, which being given,
is written next to tho adjective, and then tho
names Of the whole company aro written in
turn, each opposite the adjective which comos
in the order oil the list. ..I r.
The writer. now commences ut some other
part of the list, and. each company names
somo locality, as 'on the house. under the
barn. in tho woods, etc., and these are nd.
ded, one to each name. In the same manner
some act is next written, to complete tho
sentences, rs 'hauling sawlogs.' sleeping
soundy,' 'shelllng corn,' etc. When oil Is
completed, the sentences are read aloud
The ludirrous situations described will often
cause great merriment. Thus II may hap
pen that Sweet Susan was before the look
ing.glass, making faces; or that SLOW John
was on the railroad, running q race with the
engine or that Long John was hunting
tho rebels. In the wash-tub.' OF course,
much fun will depend on keeping the sen.
tences secret till all aro read. .aI -a.

Con. Butler in New Orleans.

The following incident Of Gen. Buffers
mode of dealing with refractory cases at New
Orleans, we believe, has not yet been in print.
1t is vouchcd for by the very best authority.
A merchant of New Orleans, who was sc
cessionist Of the stamp that took great pleas
urc in spoutins about "Picayuno Butler"
found himself with arms in his hands on the
rebel side of the lines after tho taking Of
New Orleans. But he was under the neces.
sity of writing frequently to the agent who
had his property in charge. In these letters
no freely indulged in execrations Of Gen.
Butler, and in one Of them expressed a warm
sympathy for men suffering under his tyran.
nous rule there, saying that he believed q
personal chastisement could be inflicted on
Butler. and Offering his friend and agent five
thousand dollars to do that job.
1t happened that this letter, as in thous'
and others cases of supposed secret communi.
cation about that time, was seen by Gen.
Butler sand contents carefully noted. ~
Soon afterward the order was issued requir.
ing all persons who wished to hold their es-
tates in that city, real or personal, to regis
ter themselves and take the oath Of allegiance.
The merchant in question had too much to
lose, and slipping within our lines again en-
deavorcd to make himself at home about the
city. as though ho had never been away; but
while busy at this preparatory work, Gen.
Buffers orderly waited on him, with apolitc
inviiion to call at headquarters. Hc did so.
suspectlng nothing.
General Butler received him very kindly,
and begged to show him something Of inter.
est, taking the letter in question from his
desk. lie asked him IL that was his writing
and signature, and the convicted hater Of Pic
ayune Butler could do no less than own up.
General Butler then said to him that rs he
was evidently man Of substance, with mon.
cy to spare for good purposes, he might give
