Mine ?

The Tribune OF the 10th instant, is a
perfect curiosity, and deserves a piomi>
nent place on cne of the shelves OF the
State Historical Society. The Reverend
and the Legal editor cannot agree either
upon religion or hlackguardism. Mr..
WHEELER has become Disguised with his
associate, and announces in plain terms
that he mus. no, be held responsible for
the illusions Of the lawyers clerk ="
hereafter. We anticipated this state of
things some time since. for we thought
that with all his faults, Mr.. WHEELER
would not be guilty Of sanctioning or GUS
tanning the mud and dirt elected from ST.
nREE's sickIy stomach and disordered
brain.
In the Tribune alluded to, SIBREE sees
Fl, to let the Pilot and it's editor alone, out
he plants his popgun battery against the
Rev. Mr.. BEEBE, Of the Presby yterian
church, for some remarks alleged to have
been made in his pulpit on Fast Day
against the character of WM. II. SHwARp
o. this subject sIDREE -ays:
"If any Minister of the Gospel wants TO
engage in any such warfare. let him step
out on a fair field, where he can be met
on even terms, contradicted, and set right
# Int ha ,{ l.,
pulpit, when none bu. the ordained few
are allowed to enter, 10 blacken and damn
the character of whomsoever he NAV
please"
We must consider the above hvpocrti
cal talk good joke when we call to mind
the fact that not Sabbath has passed in
Mani,owoc for four or five years, when
the Democratic party or some of its prom
inent members have teen exempt from
this s:y 6 of warfare, where " the ordained
few are allowed 10 enter, to blacken and
damn the character Of whonsoever he NAV
please" and the thing has been warmly
approved by the whole Abolition party
from its "great mogul" down to its
meanest tool 1t is all right hen Demo
Gratis are .landered in the Presbvterian
church, but it is an outul and cruel thing
to speak Of the faults of prominent Re.
publican in the same pulpit.
We g We ano,herr'specimen Of SIDREk's
hypocrisy or want of memory. He saws !:
We have always been taught that .he
true gentleman never attacks the absent,
but ins,inctively springs to the defence Of
the defenceless. And we have been taught,
furthermore. tha, :he chietest jewel in The
christians crown is named charity, and
that man rpsv have al the graces Of all
the saints, vet, if he lacks charity. he will
he hut sounding brass ana tinklins cym-
bal"
The true gentleman never attacks the
absent - That is so. Hence, S1BREE, be-
ing common bIackgnard, attacked, in the
foulest Of language, the character and rep
utatlon Of the immortal DOUGLAS, four
years ago. Such language as E" inferra
demasogue," traitor" doughface," and
" Illinois rettifogger,' were his common
expressions, go much used that many Of
his Republican friends would absent them
selves from his presence.
SIDEEE concludes his article on Mr.. BEE
BE by saying that he is no gentleman nor
no christian. Why? Because the Abo
lition Ok has been gored

HE An article has lately appeared in

EFAn article has lately appeared in
the Richmond Sentinel, the newspaper
organ of Jeff. Davis, which iniimates a
willingness 10 make peace on other terms
than the recognition of the Contederacy
and also Indirectly acknowledges that
MessTs. Clay and Uolcombe were duly
authorized agents of the confederate gov
ernment. The article affords strong proof
for believing that Edmund Kirk Gill

continuance Of The war without an effort
TO ascertain whether it can be closed on
honorable terms, and by refusing to listen
to propositions of peace, is simply whole

1t was stated recently that it was proposed
In Chicago to employ women rs conductors on
the street railways in that city, and that the
directors of all the companies were in favor
Of the proposition. We notice this only ~ an
indication of growing public sentiment in
behalf Of most interesting and suffering class
Of our population.
Wherever the labor of females can be sub
stituted for that of males, il should invariably
be preferred; and We believe that, were the
policy once fairly put in practice aud carried
out to the furthest limits of which the clpl-
city of the sex would admit 1t would prove to
be the most benevolent, and perhaps import
ant, reform that II is possible to introduce into
the industrial economy OF every civilized
State. And why should 1t not be donep We
provide asylums for the deaf and dumb, for
the lame and blind; we erect schools of re-
form for the abandoned and depraved; we
cover the land with homes for paupers and
vagrants, and boast perpetually of the vast
sum of charitable effort we are making to
ameliorate the lot of the wretched and unfor-
tunAte OF every class.
But while selfcomplacent philanthropy is
DONG all this really valuable good, does 1t
not unthlnkmgly close upon the orphan girl
ana the helpless widow access to that happy
And proud Independence which willing hands
would WIN In many sphere Of industry from
which the prejudice Of habit and the scrunles
Ofa false delicacy exclude themP
There is a great sin at our doors In ,b,s
dreadful shutting out OF self-dependent women
from the occupations for which they are no
less At, II not better qualified, than men. Pro
videnee is not unmindful Of the injustice, and
Is already, by indireetan slow, but eventually
eIectual interposition, working out reforma-
tlon. Much suspicious progress in the change
is even now evident among us.

We have received from M. Jas, II. Marsiall.
the 79.h 7. V v 4 c1gplc OF private notes OF
recent date, that were intended to pass between
R,tel offl,eIs, but found their way instead in o

Women are gradually gaining admission
into kinds Of employment from which they
have been vigorously kept out and the better

diligence they ART bringing 70 tasks In
which they have supplanted male labor, are

The result win not be important 10 them

immense amount of mechanical and inventive
faculty not hitherto brought into operation,

How CoLUMBUs LoOKED-The personal ap-
pearaI ce Of Columbus was net a bad index of his
character. His general air expressed the autho-
rity which ne knew so well how to exercise. His
light grey eye kinded easily at subjects of in-
terest. He was tall aud well formed. His COM
plexion Was fair and irccked, aud Inclined TO
ruddy. Trouble soon turned his light iir grey,
and at thirty years of age il was quite white.
Moderate in food and simple in dress, temperate
in language, bearing himself with courteous and
gentle gravity, religious without being formal
1T, REFRESHING his irritable temper with lofty
piety, he wa tue model of Christian gentleman.
