GIN. GARFIELD VIsws.-Tha opis-

GIN. GARFIKLD' ViEws.-Tha cpis-
ion Of Gen. Garfield on war matters, from
his extended experience in the field, is
worth something more than that of or
dinary Congressmen. In bis Speech on
Thursday he said:
If We wsnt lasting peace we must
put down the guilty csase, slavery, and
take away the platform on which slavery
stands, namely: the landed estates Of the
rebels Of the South. The negro has been
our true friend en- every occasion. There
was scarcely surprise or battle where
the negro had not come to Us and tod
the truth. He had found that while the
rebels were lighting. black men were cul
nysaing their lands, the products of
which were placed in the rebel Commits
sary Department. And 1t vas not until
We took away the main support Of the
rebels that We could conquer Ii this was
an Abolition war it was because we have
IN Abolition army: and he would tell
gentlemen that slavery is dead forever,
unless the body-spatchers on the other
side should resurrect and bring j. to life.
He said, / announce, gentlemen, your
friend is departed. Hang your emblems
of mourning on the bier, aud follow the
hearse and SIZED tears over the grave; but
| have no time TO waste to hear ealogies
on the deceased. l. was not BY Commis-
sioners snch as the gestleman from New
York Wood had suggested; it vas not
by smiles that peace vas 10 be secured,
but by the thunders Of war the rebellion
muss be met. Our armies must be sled,
and We must go forward with the msjesly
of great people rising in their strength
to break down the last hope of the South.
Among other things, Mr. Garfield spoke
of the great anxiety manifested by the
rebels pending hs Ohio Ssa.e elertion last
autumn. When the telegraph flashed 70

LEAP YEAR.

Il the ladies don't avail themselves

leap year. 1t is their own fault, or their
OVID misfortune. During leap year they
have right to make advances toward
their iavorite, and il be proves obtuse. to
sharpen his perceptions Of the felicity OF
the connubal state. Tney have right
to suggest that there was but one Roman
General whose name nigh, constantly be
upon their tongues end during " leap
year. and that one was M4rias-marry
u.s. They haxe-a clesr, andispuIed righ.
to insin8ate that be is DO hero who is
afraid to take arms particularly Then
those arms are mice. delicate, white,
plump ones, and lcok much better around

Of comforter Yes. leap year" is
with you, dear ladies and it should teach
you something. Has he not grown fon.

Has be not evinced desire to introduce
the momentous question? II not, en-
courage him make all due allowances for
bis timidisy-for really all men are more
afraid OF women than women Of men.
Smile on him give him con6dence.
Then answer him, when he pours his

creature. i" Yes" Be sure you do this
while the year lasts, for it will pass quick.

Only twn Parties.

Gen. Meahher addressed the soldiers Of
the Irish Legion. one evening last week. in
New York, and in the course Of his remarks
he made the following declaration
There are but two parties in this country;
One the Federal armies under Abraham
Lincoln and the other, the rebel armies
under Jeff Davis. These are the only two
parties ia the country to-day and until the
party headed by Davis has been utterly rout-
ed and annihilated, stand by your party.
1t IS the party Of the country, Of its history,
Of his future.
The people of the North are rapidly com
ing to understand this question of parties
precisely as Gen. Meagher states it. They
see that there are but two sides to this con
troversy; that either we must crush the
rebellion or the rebellion will crush US.
Then, as there is no other question before
the country, the people mean thatthere shal
be no doubt as TO the issue-the rebellion
must be destroyed and the Union saved.

and then left US alone IN the struggle and
confined themselves to cOwardly, perfidi0uS,
stealthy assaults upon their own Govern
