z. was nice, good man, AZ the world
goes, but not being able, unfortunately, to
deny this particular impeachment, he
posed, to obtain bill Of final separation.
Mrs. z. was consoled dnring the progress
Of the suit by the sympathies of her ten

from her side.
But by and by Miss Monroe went away
to New York on business. She returned
again to New Berlin this spring metamor-

at the outbreak of the war has peculiar
significance just now. We commend his
weighty testimony to Democrats Of the
present hour:
"1Ne slave question is mere ercuse. The

present secession movement is the result
Of an enormous conspiracy, formed more
than year since-formed by leaders in the
Southern confederacy more than twelve
months ago. The conspiracy is ao,y k,ao,vs,;
armies have been raised, war is levied to
