No TERMS BUT SEPARATIoN.-The Richmond
Dispatch, of a recent date, in an editorial on
the Presidents offer of amnesty, says:
No one, however, knows better than Abra-
ham Lincoln, that any terms he might offer
the Southern people, which contemplate their
restoration to his bloody and brutal govern
ment, would be rejected with scOrn and exc

. AN AMERICAN PORTRAIT.-There are men
who carry in their persevering, restless ener-
gy the brand of success-nOt always an envi-
able one, still less frequentlya moral one,
but always palpable and noisy. Such man
makes capital fight with danger of all sorts;
he knows no yielding to fatigues-to any nat
ural obstacles, or to conscience. 1t is hard
to conceive of him as dying, without sharp
and nervous protest, which seems conclusive
to his own judgment, against the absurd dis
pensations of Providence. Who does not see
faces every day, whose eager, impassioned
unrest is utterly irreconcilable with the calm
long sleep we must all fall to at last Pike.

sentiment.

EQUATION of the New York Metropolitan Record
in his department The following editorial
article, which appeared in its last number,
will show what kind of paper it is:
THE ADDRESS OF THE [RERELl LzGIsLATUHs Or
VIRGINIA.
We recommend to the earnest considera-
ton of those who still suppose the South can
be conquered, the eloquent and thrilling adj
dress of the General Assembly of Virginia,
that grand and gallant old commonwealth,
the mother of States and of statesman, the
birthplace of Washington, of Lee, and of
Jackson. The defiant tone in which it treats
of tine efforts to enslave the people of the
South, and the eloquent language of denun-
citation in which it refers to the barbarous
system of warfare pursued by the minions of
the Washington despot, will meet with an
echo in the heart of every man who loves
Justice and hates oppression. We trust in
God We shall never see the day on which the
glorious old commonwealth will be subdued
and given over to the spoiler and the plum
derer; to the Buffers and the Scheneks; to
the licensed burglar and ineendiary, melted
and encouraged by "the best Government on
the face of the earth"
As TO the freedom anu Independence OI
the South, we have no apprehensions. Her
people can neper be conquered and, if that acere
possible, abraham Lincoln IS not tie man to
complisk that sutjugGtion.
The address of the Virginia Assembly is
proof that the resolution which animated Vir-
ginia all through this war is as unbroken as
ever, that there is no faltering, no wavering.
In the eloquent words of this great document,
"VIRGINIA TAKES NO STEP BACKWARD"
\ Grand old State, may we never
see the day when you shall have to bow be-
meath the yoke of the oppressor. If that day
shall ever come, then will the friends of free
dom, the lovers of true heroism and man.
hood, mourn over the sad fate of great
people, who fell while fighting for liberty
and independence, fell on the same soil that
gave birth to Washington, to one whose
name should have been sufficient to save the
great commonwealth from the tread of the
heartless invader.

Western Senator who has lively interest in

merely anxious to get off dispatches about

Not long ago q rebel Captain, 9 prisoner
on Johnson's Island, wrole letter to one
Of his rebel friends in Alabama, comment
ing upon Gen. Gilmore's ability 10 destroy
the city of Charleston with Greek FIRE. He
said be rejoiced to hear the news, and, he
prayed God Almighty would aid the Yam
KEGS to rain birthstone and Greek FIRE on
the sink Of iniquity. One Of the clerks
detailed to examine the letters sent from
the prisoners 10 their relatives South, cop
led this letter aad sent it to 8 small local
paper. The extracts were extensively
copied in the various State papers, and
finally fond their way 10 the Sandusky
Register, which has quite o daily circula-
ton among the prisoners. The seditious
paragraph was read amid the greatest ex-
citement to the exaspsrated rebels, and in
6 few moments the news spread through
out the prison among the 2. 800 prisoners,
and such hoWls Of indignation, and threats
Of eternal vengeance, coupled with the
vilest profanity that ever before asssiled
the human ear. An investigating com
mittee, consisting Of three prominent off
GERS. was appointed to wait upon the sus-
pected Captain, to learn il he was the au-
thor ef the Objectionable article. The
rope daogled in the would-be murderers'
hands, who stood ready to launch the vic
tim Of their hatred into eternity. The
doomed man was approached, and soon
read his terrible fate in the looks Of the
ohivalrous ssssssins. He was asked If he
wrote the letter.
Reading the writing slowly, lie told the
infuristed rebels that he would give them
On answer in fifteen minutes The depu-
tation were 10th TO depart, and were urged
by the crowd of prisoners to chang the
damned Yankee spy on the spot" The
only hope of escape for him was in the
arrival Of some one Of the officers before
the expiration Of the allotted time. Ten
minutes Of dreadful suspense had flown
and wherever he turned his eyes, he saw
the prisoners impatiently watching the
hands on their watch dials fer the appoint
Cd time which they felt sure was to witness
the execution.
One Of our corporals came from a dis.
lance, leisurely advancing toward him
But five minutes remained. To start rap.
idly, in order to meet the unconscious cor.
poral, was sure death, for he could easily
be Overtsken by the crowds of prisoners
in the yard. But in a moment the corpor

r-rcT For the LEADER.
Written on the death Of Abraham WhitIkeT
ofths 1O2d R-Giment, O.VI,
Hark Ills the shrill bugle calling,
That pierces the dull winter air,
The tears from eachsoldier are falling
As they stand around their dead eOmrad's
bier.
The bay yonets earthwsrd are trailing,
The drums mufied breath rolls around,
But he hears not The voice Of their wailing,
Nor marches at the bugle's shrill sound.
He had gone to ptotect our dear banner,
He had fought meath the red, white and
blue,
He had stood by his noble commander,
And ere, to his duty proved true.
He had gone 1.-THE call ofhis country,
That ilext to his honor was dear,
To be pierced by the death shot of rebels,
And fan as brave volunteer.
Rest soldier; though many regret thee,
Who weep around thy cold form day,
Soon, soon, will thy comrads forget thee,
And thy name from their lips pass away.
Bat there are some that will still pay the
tribute
oflove, for the true and the brave,
The loved ones at home will still mourn thee
And think Of their dead Abraham's grave.
