TINE CALLED.

In Bulwer's Paul Clifford there is q striking
account of the gallant and handsome highway
man riding out of the inn-yard on his last
ioray, in all the bravery Of his ill-wOn riches,
enjoying the intense and audible admiration of
the groomS and stablc-boys. But the aged and
obseryaut hostlcr, who had seen many such fine
birds in his day, and well knew where they
brought mp, shook his head gravely, and being
questioned as to his meaning, explains that
" the seventh year is running OUT Well,
what of that p only that this sort of thing
never lasts beyond the seventh year" We
quote from a recollection dimmed by the flight
OF several times seven years, but the idea is
substantially as above.
Mr.. jeff Davis, in his Message to his Con-
gress, dated the I'd inst, says:
In considering the state If the couutry the rehec.
tiOn is naturally suggested that this is the Third Con
rcss OF the Confederate States of America The Pro
yisional Government was formed. Its Congress held
four sessions lived its appointed tenn and passed away
The permanent Government was then organized Its Cl
ferent departments established "a Congress elected
hlch also held four sessions served its full constltu
tona term. and expired You the Second Congress un
der the permanent Government are now assembled at
the time and place appointed by law for commencing
your session. All these events nave passed into history

made three years ago by people thai presuml 20 as.

pendent sovereignty was recognized by treaty with
France and Great Britain in the last century and
manned unquestioned for nearly three generations"
We trust Mr.. Davis will remain few days
longer in Richmond, together with as many of
his Congress as can be induced to stay. We
have some friends travelling that way who will
be very happy to meet him.

THE ANNIVERSARIES.

While every hour is bringing 10 TX fresh intel
iigcncc of the shock OF battle. and the decima-
ton Of contending hosts, the usual gatherings
OF the benevolent and religious are not discon-
tinued, aud bodies of men and women seriously
consider the dissipation Of human error. and the
ameiOration OF human suffering. This is an
other feature OF that remarkable persistence in
ordinary pursuits which has characterized the
Northern people, in spite os the distractions Of
civil war. IL indicates, we venture 10 believe,
a reserved energy which might well stead us,
if called TO encounter unexpected mistortunes.
Thus far the drain Of this contest has been
mainly upon our material resources, and these
have proved sufficiently ample. We have had
no want of men, and we have experienced no
lack of money. Putting out Of the question
social bereayements, the sharp agony Of which
il were vain TO attempt TO estimate, the nation
has cheerfully accommodated itself to altered
circumstances, and kept steadily on in the 0c-
cuslomed paths of enterprise. There has been
IN abiding faith in the popular heart that a
good end must come Of these grievous vicss-
tudes, and that events however unweleome are,
after ALL but episodes in our career toward ma
tIonal regeneration. And so il has happened
that while we have been mercifuly saved from
despair, We have been saved too from that bru-
tai se6shness which drives the members of u
ruined community to savage isolation. Perhaps
there has been something in the very nature of
the struggle which has contributed TO this for
tunate result. 1t is impossible to eliminate from
the philosophy Of the war, the element Of a
generous humanity upon one side, and of bru-
tally, most unreasonable in this century, upon
the other. We were so familiar with the ques-
ton of Slavery that we did not, until its enOrmi-
ties had eliminated in treason, sufficiently COM
prehend its wickedness. We had grown hard
ened in the discussions which it provoked.
Shame, which should have stirred fever in our
blood, had become hackneyed, and crimes too
great for human punishment had dwndled by
iteration into peccadiloS. To remember all
this is to blush at once for the softness Of our
heads and the hardness of our hearts. Because,
when we take Human Slavery up in the alb
