Uncle Sans Great Peril.

We learned in. boyhood to love and
venerate Uncle Sam. Our Uncle was
then healthy, strong, prosperous and
happy. True, he had some ungrateIul
and unruly boys, who were bent upon
making as much mischief as possible
but generally peace and quietude reigIed
in his large family.
But soon quite a great issue began to
spring up between some of Uncles Sam 8
boys who owned factories in the North,
and others who owned plantations in
the South, because the latter kept ne
groes on their farms The quarrel wax
ed hotter aud hotter, until portion of
the Southern boys formed themselves in
to band, and in tbeI madness attemp-
ted to cut Uncle Sam in two.
This the Northern boys resisted, de-
claring the operation murderous one,
and should not be performed. But now
some Of these very chaps declare that
our good and generous Uncle is paralvz-
ed in those very parts the Southern boys
wanted to cut off, and that those portions
of his system are affected with horrible
gangrcne that requires immediate ampu.
tation in order to save his life, when
every experienced and sober surgeon
knows that such amputation wauld be
the death Of him.
The chief difference between the two
sets of madcaps, North and South, is, a:
to which shall have the job of cutting
Uncle Sam in two. Each insists that he
cae do it better than the other. And thi,
is the principle thing they are quarreline
about just now.
Such is the great peril in which Uncle
Sam is now placed. Ae is set upon with
savage ferocity by two bands of incar
nate fienGs who, while quarrelling with
each other, are both bent upon murder
ing him. Has he not true hearted boys
enough yet left, who will rescue and save
him at the cost of their own lives p
Reader are you one of them?

The Ricslmond Prisoners.

Captain IL. w. Sawyer. Of New Jersey,
now prisoner in the Libby at Richmond,
has written letter to a friend in which he
says,
"Can you not do something to effect an
exchangcl do not think there is any grand
principle in the way, nothing but policy. But.
sir, here are twelve thousand men and nine
hundred officers. Have they not II right to
expect that our Government will release
them from this imprisonment, II they can
without detriment to their country Really,
sir, we think it is bard if they don't. We
all have great hopes that an exchange will
be effected before great while. We do not
think (at least we drive the thought from us)
that we shall remain here all winter"
The twelve thousand white men and nine
hundred officers are suffering in Richmond
because our government insists upon tho few
negro soldiers being placed upon complete
equality with the whites.
