NECESSITY OF REORGANIZATION
The rebel States are without governments
that we can recognize, and so must as an ab.
solutc and indispensable necessity be held
under military rule until the United States
opens the way for their restoration. There
are no loyal governments in these States, and
we must abandon them to our enemies, or
for time, as we gain possession and con.
troll, hold and govern them by military pow.
or. Reorganization is an indispensable pre-.
requisite to the exercise of their rights and
powers as States in the Union. Without
this they have no appropriate medium thro'
which these rights may be secured. With
governments suspended and disorganized
the protection Of these States and the per.
CONS therein must be vested in the General
Government, and must be restored under the
supervision and control and under the d.
rection and authority of the General Gov.
ernment This follows from the necessity OF
the case. The people of those States, under
the laws quoted, are all enemies, entitled
only 70 the rights OF enemies. To the Gov
eminent belongs the right and the duty Of
saying when and how they shall become 9th
erwise-when and how they may again be
entitled to the rights Of citizens l recog-
nze the right Of the people Of the rebel
States to govern themselves when pnrgcd of
their disloyalty; but they are now laboring
under disability, and cannot rightfuly act
until that disability has been removed by
the Government; and it is with the Govern
mcnt 10 say when and by what process she
will remove it,
The people Of the rebel States can exer.

A Story with n Moral.

A young man who was paying spe-
cial attentions to a young lady, met
with the following incident during one
of his visits.
Being invited into the parlor to await
the lady's appearance, he entertained
himself as best he might for some time,
and was becoming very weary, when a
little girl about five years old popped
in and began conversation with him.
II can always tell" said she, "when
you are coming to our house"
"You can" he replied, "and how dc
you tell it?'
"Why" when you are going to be
here, sister begins to sing and to get
good, and she gives me cake, and pie,
and anything ! want and she sings SC
swcetly when you are here, and when
speak to her she smiles so pleasantly,
/ wish you would stay here all the
while; then / would have a good time.
But when you go of, sister is not good
She gets mad, and ifI ask her for any.
thing, she slaps and bangs me about
and is as i'll as copperhead:"
This was a poser to the young man.
"Fools and children tell the truth, y

and returned no more.

AN ENTERrrsIsING YANKEE.-An
enterprising Yankee of the Second
Connecticut navy artillery was tempted
by the sight of rebel flag hanging
over their breastworks, to crawl for
ward and attempt to take it. Reach
ing up his hand he caught hold of the
coveted bunting and began to pnll it
toward him. The rebels on the other
side, not daring to raise their heads,
caught hold of the staff, aud there was
trial of strength between them and
our friend from the land Of wooden
nutmegs. The latter succeeded in get
ting down the flag, but dared not re-
turn with it by the same path on which
he had gone out, and has not yet made
his appearance. 1t is probable, how
ever, that he will make his way in the
night, and may he also succeed in
bringing off his trophy.
sas3 The month of July 1864, will be
memorable for disastrous fires in this
country. Many Of them have origina-
ted from the drought, and vast quaint.
ties of valuable wood land have been
burnt over. Aside from this, IL is esti-
mated that upwards of 80, 900, 900 worth
of property has been destroyed by fire
in different sections ofthe United States.
