A CONVENTION THAT NEEDS NO DIVINE
AID.-Nothing shocked sensitive and re-
ligious minds in the Convention of the
Missouri Radicals yesterday so much as
their actions in regard to the amendment
to the resolution that the rebellion must
be put down. A gentleman suggested
the words, 'with Gods assistance" This
was voted down with boisterous demon
strations. The reasons for it was the fact
that most of the Missouri delegation, who
constituted one-half of the Convention are
Inidels and Atheists, who, of course, could
not recognize the hand of God in the work
of suppressing the rebellion. The incident
was sad comment upon the character of
the Convention, and must strike all relig-
ious minds as profane to degree never wit
messed inpublic Convention before. Moth
ing is truer than that Gods Providence is
manifest in this war Cleveland Leader.

FORT PILLOW REMEMBFRBD.

Some two weeks since opposite Natchez,
Miss, a force Of Union black troops was
sent out to disperse force ofrebels. The
latter were badly whipped and routed. The
blacks went into battle with the rallying
cry of Remember Fort Pillow" Eleven
men were capured, but were Immediately
put to the sword on the spot where they
surrendered. One rebel dropped upon his
knees before black soldier and begged for
his life. The soldier turned to his Captain
and said, Captain, what shall do with this
man." .Do with him as he would do with
you if he was in your place. and you were
in his" was the quick reply. Swift as
thought loyal bullet was sent from Colts
revolver through the rebels head, and :
fell dead before the black avenger.

Mr.. "Jenkins" tells very amusing an
ecdote of Eugenie. According to him the
Empress is very jealous of the Countess of
Castiglione, who has recently adopted a
new mode of dressing her hair, by throwing
it back loosely, and tying it behind with
colored ribbons, the ends hanging down in
curls. Eugene, having made diIligent
search, procured little feminine sky terrier,
with hair of the same hue as that of her
presumed rival in the Imperial affections,
and, after arranging it in precisely sim
liar fashion to that of the fair countess,
turned the animal loose in her husbands
library, thereby, it is suggested, calling the
lady an odious name by implication. The
Emperor was indignant thereat, and right
royal row ensued in consequence.
