UNCERTAIN JoURSALIsM.-The writer of
Thoughts and Things" in the Golden Era,
says:
- in the proper editorial columns of the EUcn-

OF the most extreme anti-slavery doctrine, ID
bored protestation against admitting the hope
that permanent and honorable peace may be
negotiated except upon the basis of immediate
emancipation. In the semi-editorial columns of
the same Journal over the initials of the name
of man well known one Of its propretors
and editors, find carefully digestcd arguments
in favor of peace the single indispensable
condition that the supremacy of the Federal
Government shall be admitted by the insurgent
States.
Cropping about blndly in search Of the pre-
vailng cnrrent of public opinion, this great jour
nal, which has the means, talent and position to
make itself power in the land, stultifes itself
every day by the advocacy of political senti-
ments irreconci!ably antagonistic one to the
other ~

4 SAD SroRY.-A correspondent of the Mobile
Register, writing at Atlanta Ca. relates the fol-
lowing:
% Not many months ago there arrived at a
Confederate port, upon one of the most notable
of our blockade runners, very unassuming
woman-scarce such, for she was hardly out of
her teens-of an extremely handsome person.
She had come to Nassau from Paris, and sailed
thence for the South. She brought with her an
abundant wardrobe and sufiiciency of means to
last her two or three years at the present high
rates Of living. Her object visiting this
try was to discover the fate of an only brother,
Colonel in our service, who had placed her at
Geneva at school when the war began.
She had not heard from him durag six months
became anxious, and finally set out on her long
and perious journey. Her anxiety proved too
well founded. Her brother had been killed at
Gettysburg, and she found herself alone and IL
stranger in her native land. She went first to
Augusta then to Mobile here she lost a trunk
containing all her gold. AT this critical juno
ture of affairs she met very handsome fcld Off
cer-fell in love-engaged first in filtration, til en-
in amour-and accompanied him far At
lanta on his way to the front He fell at Chick
amauga. What her life became you can guess.
She died last week. and WAS tumbled into the
graund in the public cemetery. There is story
for you-weep over it.

Price, son of General Price, who has served in
the rebel army with his father, but who has

Germans alone. Colonel Price continues the

tom, and seems TO sport all the dignity of
great commander. This is the way to clear the
scoundrels out of Missouri and Kentucky.
