A Change Necessary.

When President Lincoln proclaimed the
emancipation of the slaves in every rebel
lious State, knowing the proclamation would
be as powerless as the "Popes bull against
the comet" unless those States would hs
sabjugated, he pledged the entire power Of
the government, civil and military, 20 the
accomplishment Of that object. Subse-
quently, and in harmony with that object,
in bis letter, aTo to whom it may concern
he made the abandonment of slavery COO
dition without which he is unwilling even
to entertain proposal for peace.
The war which was commenced With the
avowed object Of restoring the Union, il
now prosecuted for the subjugation Of the
South, and the destruction Of Slavery
Every act Of Lincolns administration has
tended to embitter the South against him,
and render o reconciliation impossible. =.
Even If we admit these acts to have been
necessary; as primary steps for the restora
tion aud future preservation Of the Union.
the same necessity imperatively demands
change of administration, thst the work
thus begun may be successfully completed.
Lincoln has himself seid-"A man wAo b.
gins a work Is MI the best man to carry u on
to succsssfM termination. Mosss got Gks
Children Of Lsreal out Of Egypt, 6w &s
Lord selected somebody else to bring Iss to
Meirjourney's end. A pionss has Aad hard
cork to do, and generally gets so battered awd
spdttered thai the people prefer another"
The South may be sub ugated, but the
Union can never be restored under Abrs-
ham Lincoln's administration. A vote for
bis re election is vote to prolong the war
four years more, with oil its attendant hor>
rors and demoralizing influences. 1t 10 .
vote for more money for contractors, and
more men for death. More taxes and suf-
fering for the poor, and more drafts and
heart-stricken desolation at our Hresidss.
More manly forms crippled for life, mo'e
widows and orphans, and oil for the aboliti>
tion Of Slavery. Shall We do evil thst good
may come from it? Does the end justify
the means7
With George B. Mcclellan st the hssd
Of our government, reconciliation will bs
easy. The rights Of al will be respected,
the Uuion will be restored and with tbs
flag Of the Union floating proudly over oar
whole land, we may pay our United respects
to those nations who have "laughsd st oar

in our "familly quarrel" So mote it bs.

That same night Mrs. Ample shut her clos
eft door with sad face Capt Ample had
gone back to his regiment and expected to be
back in a few weeks. but who could tell what
day might bring forth Here was a home
comfortable, even luxurious. Every wish was
gratiied, even some silly ones. Jewelry OF the
dressing table, dainty shoes on the floor, dress
richly braided tossed over a chair, herself clad
in wrapper that cost the maker many hours
labor, all brought more gloom. the house
was so still, lonely, for her sister was asleep,
and they two were alone in that great house.
She thrust her watch into its little casket, has
tily hung the dress with the many others,
drew out the locket that held her husbands
picture, and began to cry. Well, that was
natural. "Oh dear love, if could onIV have
you with me I'd give all I possess" All, If
money and rich garments could bring back
the dear ones, are there rot many who would
give eheerluliy? Yet we are too selfish. too
vain, too fond of "fne linen and purple"
And while wealth flows, and gay lips smile,
and diamonds fash. and silks rustic, there are
tears, and groaus, and brave souls going up to
God. and all this in the eye of Him who notes
even the sparrew's fall.

RIGHT TO SIXTEEN.

Lord Shaftesbury recently stated, that,
from personal observation, he had ascertained
that of adult male criminals of London, near
ly all had fallen into a course of crime between
the ages of eight and sixteen years and that
if a young man lived an honest life up to twen-
ty years OF age, there were forty nine chan
ces, in favor, and only one against him, as to
an honest life thereafter
This is fact of singular Importance to
fathers and mothers, and shows fearful re-
sponsibility. Certainly a parent should Sc
cure and exercise absolute control over the
child under sixteen. 1t cannot be difficult
matter to do this, except in very rare cases !;
and if that control is not very wiseiy and eff
GENTLY exercised, it must be the parents fault;
it is owing to parental neglect or remiss-
ness. Hence, the real source of ninety-eight
per cent. of the real crime of a country
such as England or the United States lies at
the door of the parents. 1t is fearful refec-
tion. We throw it before the minds of the
fathers and mothers of our land, and there
leave it to be thought ofin wisdom, remarking
only as to the early seeds of bodily dis
ease that they are, in nearly every case, sown
between sundown and bedtime, in absence
from the family circle in the supply OF spend
ing money never earned by the spender-

A gentlemen who has just returned from
an extended trip through the southern part Of
the State informs us that the sorghum crop
far exceeds the estimated amounts. The juice
is sweeter than that Of last year. aud many
are making an excellent article Of sugar from
their sirup. He also says that the smallest
canes are found to make the sweetest sirup.-
Throughout the whole country the clay soil is
considered the best for the cane, yet it does
very well on any Of the soils in our State
Some little estimate of the extent OF the
sorghum culture in the State may be gathered
from the fact that in many places they manuiao-
ture from two hundred to a thousand gallons
day OF first rate sirup. Near Duquoin there
are over thousand acres of the cane, and
other counties in that vicinity nearly equal it.
In Champaign City they manufacture one
thousand gallons Of sirup per day at Urbana
FIVE hundred gallons, aud at Washington,
Tazewell county, two hundred and fifty gallons
per day.-Peoria (H) Transcript.
