"Nobody Hurt.''

The New York Nesos, in allading tc
the celebrated remark of President LIN.
COLIN, while on his way from Springfield
to Washington to assume the office o.
President, that ''nohody had been hurt
by this convulsion, says: 9di aak
"Nobody's hurt. F" "he shallownes'
and levity which prompted this noted re
mark were shocking prelude to the
bloody scenes that were about to open VI
der the direction of the man who uttered
it. The corpses molder beneath the sol
of hundred battle fields; the hundred,
of thousands of brave fellows who have
perished in military hospitals; the hun
dred and twenty-iour thousand widows
that are now applicants for pensions, are
a sad and terrible commentary on this
needless and heart ess text. DO such
leaders deserve the confidence of the
country? Shall ii. be longer committed

A Sensible Prayer,

"MoRE BRAINS, LORD! The Wash
ington correspondent OF the Cincinnati
Commercial relates the following:
Rev. DIR. Sutherland who has recently
accepted the pastorship of an American
church in Paris, offered his farewell pray
er as chaplain of the Senate few days
ago, and took occasion to make a very
unkind. dig at tho Honorable gentlemen
for whom he has been daily interesting
at the Throne of grace, for months past.
He uttered the following supplication
very audibly: sse-eaf,t t.r.o-
=" We pray Thee, 0 Lord! to give to
the counsellors and statesmen of Ameri-
ca, more brains More brains, Lord |!
More BRAINsr' On hearing this eyery
well-timed entreaty, but rather harsh
criticism, Mr.. Sumner dropped his head
upon his breast quite feelingly, Jim Lane
rolled his eyes piously, Garrett Davis
eyinced signs of emotion. and a gentle
man in the reporters gallery uttered an
emphatic "Amcur' by way Of a second

be hoped the members of both Houses

Prepare for the worst.

j.
In view, of the innumerable. crimes
which have been committed against the
Democrats. and of others which are threat
ened, and seen imminent, the eorrespon-
dent Of an Iowa paper says:
Il advise the Democrats of Iowa to
meet and thoroughly organize, openly, fol
the preservation of their rights under the
law.safa ff 3a-...f.
"This they must do, and do it at once
And let the Government understand two
things; 49,. 80 .5..
First: That in obedience to the laws
and the Constitution, the Democrats yield
to no one. and will fulfill every oblig .tion
and obey every law to the very last re-
quirement. a
"Second: That we will demand all our
rights under the law. re-. r
LET every body understand that we
will stand by each other for this purpose
When we have done this we will be secare
for we will need no oaths, password 'or
,arips And we can not go to work one
hour too soon. Whether we elect our
President or any other officer, VIC can
maintain, our manhood. The worst times
are close upon US. Be not de, eived."

I4incoIn and Erclnont.

The tight between the friends of Lin.
coin aud Fremont is becoming hotter and
fercer every day. The Office holders,
contractors, Spectators, and army thieves,
are all for Lincoln. They wish the; rail
Isplitter're- nominated. i'm order that they
may have their hands in the treasury for
four Years longer. On the other hand the
friends of Fremont are active and malig
nant against Lincoln, and are determined
to defeat him at every hazard The most
active men i'll this movement are the Ger
man radicals, who are pretty powerful
especially in the West, and claim that tho y
have strength enough to elect or defeat
any candidate that may be nominated BY
the Abolition party.
The German papers of Cincinnati
Louisville, St. Louis. Chicago, Milwaukee
Detroit, Buffalo, and many other places
have raised the Fremont Banner; and som,
of them express a determination, shoul,
Fremont not be nominated, to supper

YAu effort is being made by the eliemie
of ,Linculn,to have the Abolition nouli

MiscegenatiOn.

Some OF the Northern papers are dis.
cussing with the utmost intensity Of phi
losophical speculation the question of
miscegenation; its friends arguing earn
estly that its practical adoption will sme-
liorate the physical capabilities and moral
sentiments of both breeds. The subject
is too disgusting for stomachs in this lat
itude to permit transient remark, much
less an elaborate disquisition. We can
not be tempted to study these Northern
arguments, being already satisfied, from
the experiments made on beasts and plants

Editor iSpirit. SIR-In your paper OF
the 18th inst, I see an editorial para
graph under the caption I" Who is to
Blame" concerning the non-receipt of a
certain package of Democratic Tickets
mailed by you at Woodsfeld, on the End
inst. for James Messerly of this place.
Now on the evening Of the End inst.
the " oodsfeld mail was opened by my
assistant in presence of the mail carrier
and Mr.. James Rutter; they all say they
know there was no such, package in said
mail, although letter addressed by you
to said James Messerly was received, aud
delivered to him next morning.
I You say the strangest part of the affair
is that on Wednesday morning after the
election was, over. the Tickets were hand
ed to Mr.. Messerly, -. -
This is not stric ly in aecordar ee with
the facts in the case; for the truth is, the
Tickets were not received at tlis Office
till aftersoue o'cleck p. NJ, on Wednes-
day the 9th of April Gnst.) by the Wheel
ing and Petersburg River mail. That
mail ! opened myself in presence of my
assistant, and of John Morrill,, son Of the
late P NJ, who saw the package of Tickets
taken out of the river mail pouch and
that afternoon "they were handed over to
Mr., Messerly.", asi..aaa4 -
All the Postmastsrs along the Woods
feld and. Darlington route said they knew
ling of the said package. Well they
might say SO, for they never saw it, I
also ask who il to blame.

"No Irish Need Apply

The State of Maine is no place fol
Irishmen. The Republican Legislature
of the State by recent law have signified
their dislike of the Irish emie rants, in a
very marked measure. An act was pas
sed, Incorporating an Emigrant's Aid
Society to which was given bounty
from the State Treasury. of twenty five
dollars for every emigrant between fifteen
and fifty who should be brought into the
State As originally composed, the law
included all cnigrants, but it was subse-
4uently amended so as to exclude the
Irish. We suppose the reason must have
been because the Irish are soon converted
into good Democrats, while the Germans
are sometimes deluded ints supporting
radical Republicans. But We state the
facts. so that rishmen may give the State

-f.r.-, b.. hAStflSGIoNs NpTll w.
Preparations for the great moven mt
on Richmond, which will now be delayed
by the storm in Virginia, are going for.
ward with quiet but vehement energy.
The reorganization of the Army of the
Potomac has been generally perfected, and
the details Of the new order of things are
being arranged as fast as the trouble
caused by the transfer of regiments, and
some cases of dissatisfaction among off :
GERS. will permit.
1t is probable now, that at least two
movements will be made for the purpose
of capturing the rebel capital, and per-
haps third Gen. Badly Smith, it is
reported tonight, will have command of
two army corps, to be organized ut For
tress Monroe. These troops will be push
cd up the Peninsula, while the Army of
the Potomac keeps Lees forces vigorous
ly occupied, and while Gen. Burnside is
presumed to attempt the old route via
Goldsboro, n c., cutting the railroad at
that point. The Peninsular and North
Carolina movements tsc0uld scarcely fail to
cause a retreat OF a large part of the rebel
army from its present secure position ON
the heights beyond the Rapidan. A
prompt, general and persistent attack
from all points by our forces would then
certainly force the fighting in few days
up to the defences Of Richmond. That
accomplished, the war will have witnessed
no more terrible battle than the one which
must ensue for he possession of the city.
Advicesl received to-day disclose that
constant additions, are being made TO the
strength of the defensive works on all
sides of the rebel capital. Mines are
understood to be ready at the mostSital
points.
