Jonity.

We have the assurance Of the dlstln-
guished MARK TAPLEY, that there Is moth
ing in this world like being Jolly. He1
regarded 1t as creditable to be jolly under
the most tunfavorable ecircumstances--in fact,
the more gloomy the occasion the greater
the credit belonging to jollity. With this
philosophical precept before us, the people
of this country have reason to felicitate
themselves upon their good luck in having
jolly President. Mr.. LINCOLN, in addi-
tion to the possession of the wisdom of JACK
BuNsBY, has the peculiar faculty of MARK
TApLEY of being jolly under circumstances
truly "creditable." His success in getting
our armies used up under the management
of political generals, and the jolly reflec-
tions which that success seems to inspire
him, constitute phenomenon truly mar
velous. He gave BANKS, Massachusetts
politician and candidate for the Presiden-
CIV, an important command on the Missis-
sippi and in less than twelve-month
BANKS loses his army and kills himselffor the
Presidency. Uncle ABRAHAM is jolly and
perpetrates joke on BANKS! The Presi-
dent appoints SIGEL to command ito con-
ciliate the Dutch" as he facetiously OBJ
serves; SrGEL makes plunge forward, and,
instead of joining GRANT as he should have
done, is driven back by a band Of guerrillas,
and the jolly President chops off his head.
BUTLER is favorite candidate of :" the In
fcrnals for the Presidency, and is notori-
ously without the least military capacity or
experience. LINCOLN jocosely gives him a
command second in Importance only to
that of GRANT; and BUTLER, after issuing
several bombastic and ridiculous bulletins,
announcing that he "whipped BEAURE-
GARD" and had the ''key to Richmond" is
found to have lost the key through his stu
pidity, an army by his ignorance and in
capacity, and seriously crippled and en-
dangered GRANTS movement by his bull
headedness. What does the jolly President
do under these unfavorable circumstances?
.sWell," says LINCOLN, 'if BUTLER has not
succeeded, it is not my fault. have sent
three of my best Generals to watch him
BALDY SMITH, GILMORE and WEITzELL.
Now, if they can't keep him from doing harm,
am sure ought not to be held accountable
for what he does" And the sycophants who
heard the joke, laughed, and rushed out to
telegraph that the country was all right,
for the President was jolly again.

[Fr0m the Richmond Examiner may $f.I d..
The intelligence already published is con
firmed in the most complete manner. The
chief army of the enemy has abandoned its
base on the Rapidan and upper Rappahan-
mock and established q new source Of sup
ply on the lower waters of the last named
river, at Port Royal and Rappahannock.
His troops are massed in the country be-
tween the Mattapony and the lower Kappa
hammock. His front is at Milford and the
Bowling Green. This change of position
has rendered necessary q corresponding
change in the position of Geenral Lee. After
ascertaining that no enemy was left to light
in Spottsylvania, he has come down the line
he has held with success from the first, and
again planted himself between Grant and
Richmond, near Hanover junction. rJi1u
The Northern journals certainly DO Keep up
their game wonderfully toeh though they make
no quotations Of gold. They persist to the
last in the noisy lie, the fragrant imposture,
the naipable sophism, the vulgar boast
demanded by their master at Washing

though they do not quote the price OF
gold, On the news of this movement
by Gen. Lee they will, of course, rate
fire veil of triumph louder than ever.

Iris said that in France a convict was
lately tracked into the service Of young
married couple, where he was officiating
as very pretty lady's maid, and had been
doing all the duties of his role for three
months. The horror of the young married
lady, and still more of the husband, may
be imagined when the police SAID "Ihat
vounp woman is the man we want"

Po and the most northerly the Nv and when
united they constitute the Ma-ta- pony
