The nebels and the Northwest.

The Richmond Whig of the 10th clos
es a pathetic appeal to the Northwest in
the following words:
when people think alike and have
common interest to maintain, only the
basest pusilianimity can excuse such a
people from becoming victims of a race
so dastardly as the Yankees. The South
holds out her hand. Is the Northwest
afraid to take it?"
No sir; the Northwest is not ''Gfraid'
to take it; but the Northwest would scOrT
TO take it. The Northwest shakes hands
with nothing so base and reasonable. The
hand that has raised the sword of war
against n Government of matchless lenl-
ty, the hand that has been Redeemed with
the choicest blood of the bravest people
that ever sanctifed a battlefield, the
hand that wantonly unstopped the vials
of desolation and maliciously hurled
their blasting contents over a prosperous
and peaceful land. the hand that has
been uplifted in blasphemy against the
Government, Law, Freedom and Human
ity,-that hand the Northwest will forev-
er scorn to take.
.'The South holds out her hand, does
she! Aye, holds out her hand with the
same intent and purpose as when, strug-
Cling in 1.-The angry flood" of Tiber,
"Caaser cried, save me Cassius. or siiHk -
But that hand is stretched forth by the
South, imploring the Northwest to save
her IN her sins, not from her sins That
hand is still clenching blight, and blast
ing and mildew; it is yet fostering in the
leprosy of disunion; it is all unwashed OF
the gore that it has causelessly and cruel
" wrung from the heart chambers of our
brave and lovely boys:-Will the North
west take that blighting, fostering, pollu-
ted hand? Never! But, with scorn and
loathing will exclaim-
will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood
Clean from thy hand? No! this thy hand will rather
The multitudinOus seas ineardine,
Making the green one red!
And such is the hand the South now Of
fers to the Northwest, and superclliously
asks,''Is the Northwest AFRAID to tako lt!'
Yes, the Northwest is afraid TO take 1t !!
Afraid, because it fears the touch OF
vile contagion, afraid, because 1t breads
the loathsome contamination OF treason
afraid, because it would shun the pesti-
lent effluvium that pervades that den OF
thieves into which the South has conver-
ted their slave confederacy,-afraid, be
cause it sees in that hand only the pallid
and revolving whiteness of leprosy and
death.
No! The Northwest will not take"
that hand, until it has been washed and
purified in the tears of contrition, and Is
held up as by sinner conscious OF his
guilt and imploring grace and forgiveness.
Then the Northwest will meet the South
as the Father met his Prodigal Son,-not
with bitterness, but with blessings not
with curses, but with kindness; not by
humiliation, but by restoring
to former honor and equality.
But, so long as the South offers her
hand only as the sign manual of the con-
of the league of treason, and
as compact with the internal dynasty
of rebellion, so long will her protfered
hand be Indignantly and scornfully re-
jeeted by the ever loyal Northwest.

wisdom of Awarding More Praise.

Bulwer thinks we might praise more
than we do. He says NO one can de-
ny that animals in general, and men in
particular are keenly susceptible to praise.
Nor is it less commonplace truism, that
the desire Of appreciation is at the root of
those actions to which the interest of the
societies they are held to benefit or adorn
has conceded the character of virtue, and
sought to stimulate by promise OF re-
nown. Yet, in our private intercourse
with our fellows, there is no instrument
of power over their affections or their
conduct which we employ with so grudg-
ing parsimOny, as that which Is the most
pleasing and efficacious of all. We are
much more inclined to resort to its con-
trary, and, niggards of praise, are prodI-
gals of censure. For my own part, L
think that as word of praise warns the
heart towards him who bestows it and in
sensibly trains him who receives it to
strive after what is praiseworthy, and as
our lesser faults may be thus gently cor
rected by discipling some counter merits
to stronger and steadier efforts to out
grow them-so it is, on the whole, not
more pleasant than wise to keep any
large expenditure of scolding for great
occasions, and carry about with us, for the
common interchange of social life, the
argent do pOehs of ready praise. Scolding
begets fear, praise nOurishes love and
not only are human hearts, as general
rule, more easily governed by love than
fear, but fear often leads less to the cor
rection of faults and the struggle for
merits. than toward the cunning conceal
ment of the one and the sullen diseoGr-
agement of the other. But let me be
understood. By praise do not mean
fiattery | mean nothing insincere. In
sincerity alienates love, and rots away
authority Praise is worth nothing If it
be not founded on truth. But as no one
within the pale of the law lives habitual-
ly with miscreants in whom there is moth
ing to praise and everything to censure-
so the persons with whom man tolerbaly
honest is socially conversant must have
some good points, whatever be the num-
Der of bad ones. And it is by appealing
to and strengthening whatsoever is good
in them, that you may gradually stimu-
late and train for the cure of what IS evil
that tendency of nature which, in mind
as in body, seeks to rid itself of ailments
pernicious 10 its health in proportion as
its nobler resources are called forth, and
its normal functions are righted by being
invigorated."

Peace and War.

The New York Obserrer thus foreibly
replies to the urgent appeal of the Lon
don Peace Society that we make peace:
..Now, will the London Peace Society
tell us kOlg to make peace? We had peace
and loved it, and suffered for it-submit-
ting for years to the dictation of those
who are now fighting against US. We
Welded to them for fifty years, and would
have yielded to them probably fifty more,
if they had not battered down our forts,
plundered our garrisons, threatened our
capital, and reared a rebel Government
among our own citizens.
Now we want peace, and how shall we
get it? Shall we give up the prlnclpIe
for which we are contending? 1t has cost
us already the lives of a hundred thou
sand men and more treasure than we can
count. Shall we acknowledge the right
of any faction of our people to dismem-
Der the nation at their pleasure Shall
we abandon our national existence alto
gether, and sink into the condition of a
mobOcracy, liable to be
dissolved at a breath of popular discon-
tent? This we do il we consent, to seces-
sion. What would the London Peace
Society advise if the Scotch people should
throw off allegiance to the British Crown?
If England should march her armies
North would the London Peace Society
interpose. and beg her to make peace p
Did the Society ask its own Government
to let the East Indians alone when they
asserted their independence
I'VE do want peace. We are perishing
by thous ands in this hOIrid war. 1t is a
shame, burning shame, that such war
as this should be, in the nineteenth cen
tury, in the midst of the full blaze OF the
Gospel and the light of the highest civil
ization. BIT Il IS not our fault, and we can
not stop it. If the LondOR Peace Socle-
ty would address itself to their own
neiehbors, the merchants and manuiac-
turers of England. who are sending out
arms and stores to aid the rebellion if
the Peace Society would address the gov
ernment and people of England who have
fostered the rebellion, and given it their
moral support if the Society would send
its appeal to our Southren people, who
have committed the highest crime known
on earth, in disturbing good government,
and bringing down on us and them the
awful miseries of useless, wicked and
wasting war, then the Society might do
some good"

The Conscription Law.

the end of eleven months, terminated
their pitiless persecution in the prisons of
the eSouth-persecutions begun and con-
tinued amid indignites and sufferings on
their part, and atrocities on the part of
their traitorous foes, which illustrate far
more faithfully than any human language

A Touching Scene.

l was conversing not long since with
returned volunteer
II was in the hospital as a nurse, for
long time" says he, land assisted in TAX
ing off limbs, and dressing all sorts of
wounds but the hardest thing l ever
did was to take my thumb off mans
leg -,
E.Ah!" said l, '.how was that ?" Then
he told me:
1t was a young man who had a severe
wound in the thigh. The ball passed
completely through and amputation was
necessary. The limb was cut off close to
the body, the arteries taken up. and he
seemed to be doing very well. Subse-
ouently one of the small arteries slough
| ed off. An incision was made and 1t was
taken up. "It is well it was not the
main artery" said the surgeon as he per-
formed the operation; ''he might have
bled to death before we could have taken
it up" But Charley got on finely, and
was favorite with US all.
was passing through the ward one
night, about midnight, when suddenly as
| was passing Charles bed he spoke to
me: i'll, my leg is bleeding again."
| threw back the bed clothes and the
blood spirted in the air. The main arte-
nv had sloughed off.
Fortunately knew just what to do,
and in an instant ! had pressed my
thumb on the place and stopped the
bleeding. 1t was so close to the body
that had barely room for my thumb,
but succeeded in keeping it there and
arousing one of the convalescents, sent
him for the surgeon who came in on the
run. 81 am so thankful, H, that
YOU were up and knew what to do, for
he must have bled to death before l
could have got here"
But on examination III the case he

the spot where my thumb was placed :

up. There was no way to save his lie

they told him, and requested that his

the brothers had their last conversation
on earth. 1t was a strange place Tor me
to be in, to feel that held the life OF
fellow mortal in my hands, rs it were,
and stranger yet, to feel that an act OF
mine must cause that life to depart
Loving the poor fellow as | did, it was a
hard thought; but there was no alterna-
tive.
The last words were spoken. Charlie
had arranged all his business affairs, and
sent tender messages to absent ones. who
little dreamed how near their loved one
stood to the grave. The tears filled my
eyes more than once as | listened to-
those parting words. All were said and
he turned to me. "Now H, guess
you had better take off your thumb. =

it must be, you know" he replied cheer
fully-''I thank you very much for your
kindness, and now, good bye"
He turned away his head, | raised my
thumb, once more the life current gush-
ed forth. and in three minutes poor Char
