defeat with the hope that New Jersey Will
make Little Mac a United States Senator.
The Boston Pos. finds CLEAN Of satisfac-

The lnaux uratfOn Or President
Lincoln.

Gen. Scott says in his autobiography:
The Inauguration Of President Lincoln
was, perhaps, the mos; critical and hazard
Gus event with which have ever been con-
nected. In the preceding two months ]
bad received more than fifty letters, many
from points distant from each other-some
earnestly dissut ding me from being pre-
sent ut the event, and others distinctly
threatening ASSASSINATION il dared TO pro-
tect the ceremony by q military force
The election having been entirely regular,
resolved that the Constitution should not
be overturned by violence if corld POSI-
bly, prevent it. Accordingly caused to be
organized the elite Of the Washington vo-
lunteers, and called from a distance two
batteries Of horse artillery, with small de-
tatchments Of cavalry and infantry, al

escorted to and from the Capitol by volun-
teers-the regulars with whom marched.

front Of the President for the fine compa-
nies Of sappers and miners under Captain
Duane of the Engineers. To this choice
body Of men it was only necessary to say.
The honor of cur country is in your hands.
with view to freedom Of movement,
I remained outside Of the Capitol Square
with the light batteries. The procession

CANDY AS A DEssERr.-Pure sugars and
candies do not iniure the teeth, except in
directly, by their injudicious use, in excit-
ing acidity Of stomach, or dyspepsia, as
will any other kind OF food. or drink. or
beverage, if extravagantly used. At sea-
sons OF the year when fruit and berries
may not be ripe, fresh and perfect, As l.es-
serts, pure sugars and candies may be used
as such in their stead, TO great advantage,
because they are beautiful, being warming,
nutritious and agreeable; hence, as table
article, they are very valuable, while the
almost universal love Of them shows they
were intended to be eaten. II q child is
not allowed to eat anything containing su-
gar, it will eicken and die in q very short
time. Children need the carbon-fhe fuel
contained in sugar-to keep them warm;
without It they would perish from cold;
hence the love of such things is an instinct,
implanted by the kind and wise Maker OF
us all, for the chiid's preservation. There
are parcel Of stupid creatures in the
world whose stock Of trade in brains and
logic amounts to this, that "what ia goods
unhealthy" It is not advised that chill

The EDITOR OF THE HAMILTON TELE.
GRAPH ARRESTED 1O4: TREAsoN.-Doctor
John McElwee. editor OF the Hamilton
Butler county, Ohio, True Telegraph, was
arrested yesterday, a, Hamilton, and
brought to this city, by one of Marshal
Sands deputies, in pursuance Of an indict-
ment found against him by the Grand Jury
of the United States Court, at this place,
upon information fled BY United States
District Attorney, Fiamen Ball. Before
the prisoner being present, yesterday at.
ternoon, Attorney Ball stated briefly that
McElwee had been charged, under the act
of July II, 1862, Sec. ,. with giving aid and
comfort to the rebels, through the columns
Of the paper he was edi,ing. The articles

draft, and suggests resistance TO il the
third, and aforementioned, headed ''Lin.
coins Government" is abusive Of the
same. discou-ages enlistments ind opposes
the draft.
In the following language, clipped from
the aforementioned article, will be found
some of the boldest reasonable sentiments
expressed in the Telegraph:
Federd Union is now impossible; that the
war for its restoration has proven an utter
failure. and that its further prosecution will
end in the subversion of the remaining lih-
critics Of the people, we shall therefore ed.
vocate an immediate cessation Of hostili-
ties and the appointment Of commission
ers empowered with authority to treat,
subject 10 the approval Of the remaining
States of the United States, with like rep
resentatives from the Confederate States Of
America, upon all questions incident to
just and honorable terms OF separation.
It is our settled conviction that the war.
if pfotracted, will bring anarchy upon the
North and ultimately some form OF des-
potic government. On the contrary, We
are as fully convinced that a separation Of
the belligerent sections will bring US order
and liberty"
Mr.. McElwee was held yesterday, IN
bonds Of 81. 900, Alexander Long becoming
his security, for his appearance tomorrow,
when he will be held for trial at the April

prominence, now, which is slowly but

English language; but whatever is
taught is taught almost wholly by oral

heads which are supposed incapable OF
