The BLAIR FAMrLY.--We understand
that the Blair ftmiIy actually believed
that q member of that ancient govern
ment organizing institution would re-
ceive the appointment of Chief Justice,
to wit: Montgomery Blair. The whole
thing bad been cut and dried by the ven
cradle head Of the family. But Chase
headed him off. 1t seems now that Uncle
Abe has got tired of Old Blair, and it is
pretty certain that Old Blair is tired of
Uncle Abe. Thus they are quits. This
is probably the beginning of q general
change in the influence that has hitherto
dispensed government favors and patron
age at will, and governed Father Abra
ham in other respects. 1t is probable ,ha.
The whole batch, including our ancient
friend Gideon, will have to leave. Such
changes occur in the best of families. II
is proper that those who are fully gorced
upon Government pap should be compel
led to retire aud leave Something for those
who have been only smelling the delicious

"Extra Billy Smith" the rebel Cover
nor ofVirginia. 10 his recent message to
the Legislature, says:
/ most respectfully urge in this dark
hour of our fortunes, that the entire male
population Of our state be embodied Tor the
purpose of CD operating in cur great strug
gle. The first duty OF the legislature will
be to adopt measures to bring into the
field all able bodied men who are not nee
essary to the State Government. 1t is
utterly impossible for me TO understand
the logic which exemp,s State officers
who are not needed for the State Govern
ment. / do no, hesitate to say that |
would arm such persons.
Our able slave population may be need
ed to be put into the field so as to have
them ready for the spring campaign. Aud
even if it resulted in the freedom Of these
thus organized. will we not employ them
to fight the negro force of the enemy, or
the Yankees themselves, who boast they
have 100000 OF our slaves 10 the army
against US Can We hesitate when the
question is whether the enemy shall use
our slaves against us or we against him !?
He concludes with the following:
LET Us remember that the obligation
of citizsns to render military service is
paramount. social and political duty, and
should pass all laws necessary to give
military organization to our people.

RUE LEE Ann WILLIE GREY.

Two brown heads with tossing curls,
Red lips shutting over pearl,
Rare feet white and vet with dew,
Two ewes black and two eyes blus;
Little boy and girl were they,
Katie Lee aud Willie Grey.
They were standing where brook,
Bending like a shepherds crook,
Flashed its silver; and thick ranks
or green willows fringed the banks;
Halt in thought and half in play,
Katie Lee and Willie Grey.
They had cheeks like cherries red;
He Was taller, 'most head;
She. with arms lii e wreafhs Of snow,

As she loitered half in play,
Chattering with VI lille Grey.

Aud then, tossing back her curls,
.ISoys are weak wei as girls
Do you think that Katie guessed
Half the wisdom she expressed
Men are only boys grown tall,
Hearts don't change much after all:
And when, long years from that day,
Katie Lee and " lille Grey.

Bending like shepherds crook;

While again Dash Of red
Crossed the brownies Of his cheek,

Hung with shadows cold and deep;

MORE PEACE Colorado Jewett
telegraphs us that Ben Wood, Dean Richmond
and number Of other democrats are now at
Niagara Falls, consulting with Clay, Holcombe,
Sanders and other rebel agents. Since Gree
ley and Lincoln failed these democrats want to
see what they can do towards making peace.
We rely upon Jewett for full report of the
negotiations, and advise those who are trying
to binder him by keeping up q fire on his rear
in our courts and through the press to desist
from their vain attacks and let him alone in
his glory. He telegraphs us that "the trial in
Stevens CASE wills establish. that the alleged
facts are untrue, and that the property was not
delivered We do not know anything about
the Stevens case; but we think it very hard
that this apostle Of peace and Colorado should
be bothered by lawsuits while all his energies
are emp loyed in the great work he has under
taken.

Is GREELEY TRAITOR Fro m his hobnob-
bng with that late strange gathering Of rebel
Jeremy Diddlers, adventurers, mountebanks
and lunatics at Niagara Falls, the question
naturally occurs, is Greeley traitor! From
the secession Of South Carolina down to this
day, in fact, the course Of Greeley has, in vari-
Gus things, been wholly inconsistent with his
noisy professions of loyalty. At the outset he
squarely maintained the State right OF seces-
sion, and advocated the policy OF turning over to
JEFF. Davis as many States as might be pleased
to join him. A year later he pleaded
that if the rebellion could not be sub
stantially put down by the lst of May
il would be wise to accept such terms of peace
as would be agreeable to the rebel junta at
Richmond. Next we find him insisting upon
the determination Of slavery by fire and sword
as the shortest cut to peace; and, lastly, be ap-
pears with the rebel George Sanders aud
company as jolly good peacemaker Of the
same stripe, corresponding and consorting with
traitors, IN palpable violation OF his duty as
loyal citizen to have nothing to do, as "hal,
fellow, well metz with such customers.
Granted that in this business Dogberry would
"write him down an ass" the question still re-
ours, Is Greeley simply blundering fool or
trai.or!

TIE KITCHEN CABINEr.--For three years past
we have been hammering away at Old Abe's
upstairs Cabinet as the source of all the diff
culties and blunders and disasters Of his ad-
ministration. We have been mistaken. A
Washington correspondent has lifted the cur
tain and disclosed the real source OF all our
troubles in the Kitchen Cabinet. With the
food of light thus thrown upon the subject the

Our advioes from Mexico ars OF the highest
interest. They 20 to show that the great oon-
test between constitutional and absolute gov
ernment is only just begun, while the forces of
both parties are gathering for another aud
more embittered struggle. The embarrass
ments which surround Maximilian's govern
ment are every day on the increase, and he
ability OF skilful ruler to steer his way
through the storm with which he is threatened
lie is waking up to the necessity of having
some order in his financial affairs, and has ad-
dressed to his Minister of State an urgent re-
quest that reformatory measures shall be car
ried out The measures proposed by him are
very proper in their way, and would be highly
laudstory were ii not that as yet tho whole
country does not acknowledge the sway or tue
Austrian. By the latest advices from the
Mexican capital we learn that the republicans
are still vigorously resisting their French ad-
versaries. Were they to achieve victory over
the invaders the cause of resistance would at
once become all the more popular and formid-
able; and, as there h no certainty that they may
not gain some such victory, the foundation of
the new empire is as yet by no means a settled
one. When Macmillan has obtained control
over the whole republic, then, and not till then,
shall we deem his speeches Of much moment.
In the American mind there is one fact which
renders the acts Of Macmillan more or less
unimportant We know, we feel instructive
ly, that sooner or later we must drive from this
continent the French and Austrian forces
which have obtained . foothold upon it by
taking advantage Of our intestine troubles.
Seeing US engaged in war which they fondly
hoped could but terminate disastrousIy to our
power and influence, they have invaded and
still hold portions OF Mexico, in direct oppos-
ton to the we'll known and oft-expressed will
of this people. To secure the permanence OF
their rule upon this continent they will do all
in their power to render a reconstruction Of
the Union impossible; but these schemes must
fail; and, once relieved from our present cares,
we shall, with an overwhelming force to back
the demand, impress upon Macmillan and his
French, Austrian and Belgian troops the abso-
lutte necessity Of their Withdrawing, bag and
baggage, from the New World.
