RoMANcE IN REAL LIFE.-1
Washington Republican says that COZ
martials do not always arrive at q
rect conclusions. For instance,
MANY days since information reach
the President that a young man,
longing to the Army of the Potom
had been sentenced by court martial
be shot for desertion. The boy "
doomed to die in few hours when
despatch was received. No time "

Gen. Meade suspending the executie
An examination of the case was order

have been promoted long ago for galla|
and meritorious service, instead of beN
shot! 1t appears that upon the mafI

he proceeded on after his regiment, b3
not finding it, and there being no tin
to lose, he fell into the ranks of anothl
regiment, and fought gallantly at Sou,
Mountain and Antietam, and w3
wounded in the last-namcd battle. Il
was sent to a hospital, which fact, b
the absence of proper system in sue
cases, did not reach the. officers of h

a deserter, tried, condemned, and VIZ
about to be shot, when, by the mtel

suddenly restored to honor.
A Coon HIT FOR YoUTH.-A
old chaplin Connecticut,who was one
the most niggardly men known in ths
part of the country, carried on tt
blacksmithing business very extensive,
and as generally the case in that Stat'

old man scolded him severely one day
for being so careless. SHOW can

In a day or two the old man sent tn
boy in to see if his soup was cool. Th
boy went in-spit in the bowl ; of courrs
the soup did not hiss. He went bac
and told the boss all was right.

serious difficulty in the Truckee Meadows.
from the fact that the land is coming into
market and outsiders have commenced jumping

Cox,a Plan of Attack.

The Copperheads had a jubilee in Co
lumbus, at which Cox spake and made the
following points, as reported by the States
man
Mr.. Cox considered Mr.. Lincolns poll.
1st. In the light of its defiance of public
opinion, in the ostracism of Gen. MeOlel-
Ian, and other skillful men removed foI
their politics.
I'd. In the interference with suffrage
by military force.
Sd. His interference with religion, by the
order of Stanton.
4th. bis substitution of the will of the
commander by martial law, for the law of
the land, in Kidnapping citizens, removing
them from their proper jurisdiction, inear-
eerstion-the suppression of papers and
the ha5eas corpas, &c.
5th. His confscation system, which only
strengthened rebellion.
9th. His emancipation system, which did
no good to white or black.
7th The Intellectual character of these
acts" disposing Of the skin, before he had
caught the animal"
9Th. His reconstruction of States on his
one-tenth principle to cheat the people in
the electiOn-his poeketing the bill OF Davis
and the reply of Wade and Davis. ~,
/ 9th. His breach of his promises and oath
th4t the war should not be a negro war
his attempts at peace on the abandonment
of slavery" .....
10th. The exterminating policy the
last man and the last dollar policy.

NiInnineton next in order.

It is a fact now well recognized in Rich
mond, New York and London, that the
Port Of Wilmington on the Cape Fear
River, in North Carolins, is the only port
of entry left for blockade runners, and that
/. by means Of it the rebel credit and cotton
loan is maintained in Europe. 1t is there
fore the duty fthe Government to turn the
attention of the Navy in that direction.
Now that large portion of the iron clads
are disengaged by the capture ofth Forts
controlling Mobile Bay, they can be trans
fsrrsd, along with the captured ram Ten.
nessee to the vicinity of Wilmington, and
very soon thst place WIN be Theoretically
sealed. When that event takes place, the
rabel credit is forever lost in Europe, and
q blow is struck which will inaiet dam
age equal to the capture of many thous-
Ands ofprisoners. Let the old sea dog Far
ragut pay his compliments to Wilmington.

In fact, the platform was the only work
that the delegates accomplished as if by a
common impulse and without difference OF
opinion OF opposition from any quarter.
So says the Ne,0s. Any one who attend
ed the Chicago Convention knows the utter
falsity Of the above. On Tuesday at noon
it was proposed by some to adjourn over
to Wednesday. Others wanted to meet
again at P. NJ, on Tuesday. 1t wasurged
that the Committee on platform had been
at work the whole night before and could
not be ready by o'clock. The truth is a
most desperate fight ragged for a whole
week over the platform and the peace
sneaks triumphed.

Wilhelm this country great political par
ty is striving to re-establish human bondage
mall its strength and iniquity, there is not
one liberal statesman in Europe who does
not sympathise with the emancipation pol
icy. They all deprecate, as does Gsrabaldi,
return to the "barbarism of the middle
ages" The Chicagoites think differently.
They are now leagued together for its re-
establishment.

Why the ReiOIeiuzs9 >

Atlanta has fallen; but why should that
event be held at the present a subject OF
rejoicing? In the hazardous adventure by
which it appears to have been accomplish
ed, that constitutes but trihing incident.
The New York Nesos, JEFF Davis organ,
very properly makes the above inquiry.
1t is suddenly seized with great apprehen
sions for sherman's safety. There is no
doubt but there is little rejoicing in Rich

If the war is continued beyond the 4th
of March next, the debt from .he wasteful
extravaganza Of our rulers, will be so large
that reputation, from utter inability to
pay even the interest, will be the necessary
consequence.
Now the DEN. .ocratic party do not ex-
pect to take the reins of power until after
the 4th of next March. The war will no
doubt continue until then. The News
therefore favors reputation by the next
Democratic Administration.

It's to-day very difficult tor any one
outside the Republican ranks to say
whether Lincoln or Davis is the greater
rebel. Both seem equally aiming to sub
vert the government and break up the
Union.
The chicago Times thus states the real
position of the Democratic party. In the
opinion Of the Times, the government is
just as criminal in endeavoring to put
down the rebellion as the rebels are in en-
deavoring to overturn the government.
This shows precisely how far Democracy
is in favor of the restoration Of the Union.

war the shortest Road to Peace.

If the temper of the Southern people is
reflected in the rebel Press, and we must
believe that it is largely, they have not yet
been pressed to that point, where they are
ready to consider the question of Peace,
with view to reunion. War is necessa-
ry until its Affections shall have produced
such state of mind as is ready tolisten
to the appeals of reason. Recently the
rebels have been greatly encouraged to
hula oqas. Tho Chicago nomination viii be
so far encouraged by them as possible, for
they know that their last and fral hope is
to have such cessation of hostilities as the
Democracy propose, knowing full well
that if once negotiations are begun, and the
time is extended which is necessary to a
Convention of the States, no Democratic
party could ever be induced to resume
hostilities. Such is the fond hope now en-
tertained. It is therefore evident to every
loyal man that in the reelection of Abra-
ham Lincoln we have safe guarantee of
the speedy close of the war. His re-elec-
lection will prove that the only alterna-
tive left to the South, is to give up hope
less struggle. ..,
