Why do Ensli>hmen S,mpathisc with the

This question is answered in very
plain language by the Newcastle Eng

a long article on American affairs, in
which that journal itself takes strong
ground in support Of the national cause:
"The real reason of the prevailing
sympathy for the Confedcrates intimate
ly concerns ourselves. That reason was
long since avowcd by the Saturday Re
yi'e,c. The battles Of democracy and
despot;sm, of progress and re action, are
being fought on slaveholding soil. The
slave dealing aristocrats of the South,
like the despotic Governments of Ger
many, are wacing the world old fight
against the rights oe man But in Amer
lea, it is not only the reduction, but the
dishonor of democracy that is sought
No greater question for the working
man has arisen since the days of Christ =;
for the South designs to found on slave

ton In that system white and colored
laborers are alike liable to be included
The slave owners have therefore PROVED

groes only, but of all mankind. Is it tc
such enemies, we ask again, that Eng

WILLIAM PITT FEsSENDEN, born in
Boscawcn, n, H., in 1906, settled as a
lawyer in Portland in 1920, was elected
thence to the Legislature of Maine in
1881, and has ever since ranked among
the foremost men of that State. lie
served repeatedly at intervals in the
more popular House, always with marked
distinction and in lSt0 was elected to
Congress and served through his term,
declining a re election He was perSua
ded to run again for Congress in 1880,
and received majority of the votes, but
the seat was awarded to bis Democratic
competitor by the canvasscrs, and he de-
clined to contest it. He was chosen T..
S. Senator in 1854, by Union Of Wings
and Free Soil Democrats, and has ever
since filled seat in that body. He has
for some years been the Chairman Of its
Finance Committee, which is its first
position in rank and Importance. His
discharge of the duties OF that post has
rendered him thoroughly familiar with
every question relating to the National
Finances and there is probably no other
man in America who could step at once
into Gov. Chase's shoes and succeed him
in his arauous and trying labors with so
little hesitation or misgivlng, Mr.. Fcs-
sender is one of the ab|cst lawyers in
America, and has no superior as ready

soon. through the Corpc,hcad organs,
that he is thief and swindlcr; bat up
to this hour, no man has ever questioned
his integrity. Y. Tribune,

Correspondence Of the Daily State Register.

y
WAsHIsGroN, June o. 1864.
The Iowa Association here on Satur-
day evening last elected the following
permanent officers: President, Stephen
J. W. Tabor; Vice President, A. NJ
Scott; Treasurer, Geo Cowie; Record
ing Secretary, J. p. G. Poulton; Core
spending Secretary, l.. d. Ingersol.
In my regular spondence for the
Register, have several times had occa-
sion to speak of the Association, but not
once, l think, in its capacity as politi-
cal organization. | have mentioned, |
believe, its good works in behalf of the
Northern Iowa Sanitary Fair, and the
hispitable reception it has given certain
Iowa citizens visiting this metropolis. 1t
has political purpose, also-to aid in
the dissemination of documents, and OF
such political intelligence and arguments
as may here be had better than elsewhere
1t purposes to aid, by no means to direct
in carrying on the political campaign in
Iowa so that the largest possible majority
may be had for Lincoln and Johnson, the
nominees of our coming State Conven
ton, the nominees of our various Dis
trict Conventions, and of our County
Conventions. In short, to help on the
good cause everywhere in Iowa, with as
much earnestness as though the members
were all at home. Hence an executive
committee, consisting of Messrs. Jack
son, Hawes, Deering, Cowie, Smith ant
Mesick, has been appointed, which viii
soon send circulars to all parts Of th'
State, giving full information as to th'
documents which may be had here, thei
cost, etc. Meantime, any inquiries upor
the general subject here referred to ma,
be addressed to the subscriber, and will
be promptly answered by the subscribe
or some member of the committee.
I have to request of those publisher
WHO have SO kindly sent their papers t.
the Association, and for which the Asso
citation is heartily grateful, that the,
change the address to Box ia de
sire also to request them to give thei
readers the facts stated in this communi
cation, if that be not asking too much o
their generosity.
Very respectfully,

ET~ An Irish paper relates a remarka

1a" An Irish paper relates remarka
bic incident that recently occurred on
the river Shannon. A little pleasure
boat was capsized in the deep tidcway, at
an angle of the river, and three young
ladies with their three friends of the
masculine species, were at once miners
ed. The males were submerged by their
specific gravity, but the females, though
flung in a queer way into the water,
righted at once, like those toys that,
however dropped, always stay upright,
and, borne erect by the natant crinoline,
hoated down the surface Of the pellucid
stream, objects of honor, regard, and
admiration. The singular utility of the
crnoline, owing to the stiffening, or the
caoutchouc, was shown in the fact tha, it
never split, collapsed, or exploded for
the hundred yards during which it car
ried the pymphs before the eyes of the
admiring hundreds; but, on the CONTRA
ry, remained spread and unruffled, like
stately birds plumage, bearing the fe-
males into shoal water at last.

Pets in the Army.

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial, with the army Of the Cum.
berland, says: ....
They lave the strangest pets in the
army, that no one would dream of "tak-
ing to- at home, and yet they are little
touches of the gentler nature that give
you a cordial feeling when you see them,
One of the boys carried a red squirrel
Through thick and thin," over thou.
sand miles. "Bun" eats hard tack like
veteran, and has the freedom of the
tent. Another's affections overflow upon
a slow ,wnking, unspcculative owl, cap
tured in Arkansas, and bearing a name
with classical smack to it-Minerva
A third gives his heart to young Cum.
berland mountain bear but, chief among
camp pets are dogs. Riding on the sad
dIe-bow, tucked into a baggage wagon,
mounted on the knapsack, growing under
a gun, are dogs brought to a premature
end, as to ears and tails, and yellow at
that; pug-nosed, square headed brutes,
sleek terriers, delicate morsels Is of span
icls, "Tray, Blanche, Sweetheart, little
dogs aud all"
A dog, like horse, comes to love the
rattle aud crash of musket and cannon
There was one in ON Illinois regiment,
aud rather think regarded as belonging
to it, though his name might not be on
the muster roll that chases half spent
shot as kitten froIics with a ball of
worsted. He has been under fire and
twice wounded, and left the tip of his
tail at the battle of Stone river. But
was especially interested in the fortunes
of a little white spaniel that messed with
battery, and delighted in the name of
dot" No matter what was up, the
fellows silken coat must be washed every
day, and there was need of it, for when
the battery was on the march they just
plunged him into the sponge bucket
that swings Oh the rear axle of the gun
carriage, clapped on the cover, and Dot
was good for an inside passage. One day
the battery crossed stream, and the
water came well up to the guns Nobody
thought Of Dot, and, when all across, a
a gunner looked into the bucket; it was
full of water, and dot was as dead as &
little dirty door mat. Departed, mourn
ed and buried, it is time l put dot te
