Predictions.

Dder this head the Albany Statesman,
radical, portends a. follows.
Both parties will be competing for the
advantage Of running Gen. Grant for the
Presidency before the National Conven-
tions.
Abraham Lincoln will not be nominated
by the Republican Convention because
Seward friends mean to serve him as
his friends served Seward in 1850; because
Cha.e friends are determine to defeat him
at all hazards because Fremont will be
nominated in self-defense if Lincoln is re-
nominated ; and because politicians are too
shrewd to take the risk of running him.
Chase will not be nominated because few
but merceDaries even pretend to be for
him.
Fremont will not be nominated Though
he ought to be- because he is too candid and
consi,tant to suit the politicians who be-
trayed and abandoned him in 1860, and
who heve been inve sted. with sufficient
power by this Administration to enable
them to defeat the right His friends how
ever, will have power enough to say who
shall be the next Presi lent
Gen. Grant will be the candidate of the
,. Union Convention on the eth of June; not
because he wants the nomination or will
consent To be a candidate, but because the
Union party want, and the people will have
him. He viii not be allowed TO decline.
Should the Union Convention fail tc
run Gran, there will be such popular
disappointment as will lead to people
movement in his favor and his adoption b,
: the Chicago Democratic Convention. Tn
more mertorious man don't want office
the more the people want him. Eve
Lincoln might have stood fair chance 70
a reelection, it. Ike Pierce and Buchanan
he had not been over jealous for renomin
alton.
The Legislature of New York will no
pass the Lincoln resolutions, because, in the
first place, the Seward men are opposed t.
them, and the second place the Grant, Ere
I mont and Butler men ~ill not tolerate the
attempt to torestall them.

That Interview.

There could not be better illustration of
the folly and reckleSsness of the radical SEN
Satinn press than they have given in endeav-
oring to get up a noise about an alleged Sc
cret interview between Mcclellan and Lee!
They have now the pleasure Of blu,hing at
their own shame.
The New York Tribune made it sound
for several days. The Times with its ac-
customed headlong accuracy vouched for
the respectable and responsible gentleman
who told the story.
Not a man, Of the whole tribe of Editors
who are like hounds on the track of Nc
Clelan. failed to make the most of the ri
diculouS canard. The enmity of these men
10 Mcclellan is so bitter and virulent that
common rules Of editorial caution and de-
scency are forgotten. The conclusion of
the story is thus given by a correspondent
of the Commercial -4dreJttSer, a Republi-
can paper
The charge that General George B. Nc
Clellan had a secret interview wirh General
Lee the night after the battle Of Antietam,
has proved to be q fiction of disordered
brain. The person who made the astoun-
ding statement is Mr. Francis Waldron--
a Marylander who is "a schoolmaster by pro-
iession. and who has in years past been
somewhat addicted to drink He has been
in the custody Of the Scrgeant-at-Arms
since Wednesday afternoon, but refuses to
make under oath the statement which he
has furnished for publication. He has also
other stories of marvellous nature, one of
which is that he was for some time employ
ed night and day by Secretary Chase in aid
ing in the preparation of new financial
scheme, which has no foundation in fact.

Mind and Elody.

The influence which the mini has in
causing. aggravating. and protracting dis
ease, is too constantly lost sight OF, by all
classes of physicians. Everybody recon-
mcniS exercise as a means of preserving and
regaining health. But to ride certain
length of time. or to walk u specified dis
tance for the health. merely for the sake
of the health. is useless; aud is a penance /;
but if there is the accompaniment of an
agreeable associate or an exhilaratinp mo-
tive. one which lifts up the mind and abb
serbs it for the time being, so "a to make it
wholly forgetful of the bodily condition. as
the radical object Of the exercise, this is
health giving; its effects are always magical,
on mind and body and blood
Dwelling on trouble remor.ed for lost
opportunities; the hugsing of sharp pointed
memories; moping over the slight> of friends
feeding over exagerations of the hardness
Of our lot, and grieving yainly for unrequA-
cd love, all these are known, the world over
as being capable of bringing on slow and
painful and fatal diseases. But it is not 50
well understood that great mental emotion
sometimes causes maladies which prove fa-
tai in few days: such maladies as are in
duced by great physical exposures. II was
recently announced that distinguished
French Advocate was so excited and ex-
hausted by one of his professional efforts,
as to superinduce an attack of pneumonia,
I lung fever or inflammation of the lungs OF
which he died in few days. Three young
ladies were riding in a carriage in st. Louis
the horses ran away two Of the riders es-
capped from the vehicle, while the third sat
still. as compo.edly a. if nothing unusua
| had taken place: all were a-tonshcd at hel
presence Of mind. After she reached
her home. she informed her friends that he
remained still because the shock, the feeling
of horror was such--that she was-pcl
force = as immoyable as marble. - the
reaction was such rs to cause an inflammation
Of the bowels, which nothing could remove
and of which she died in few days. These
| facts, with thousands Of others like them
prove beyond all cayil, that the mind may
be cause of disease; and the inference il
clear, that the state of the mind should be
watched We should guard against cher
i,hiug depressing feelings; and with as mucl
care, should habituate ourselves to selt-con
troll; to the habit of looking at every thing
of stirring or narrowing character with ;
calm courage we should strive at all times 70
that valuable characteristic, presence o
mind, - under all circumstance; for We arr

Fidelity.

Desert not your friend in danger or dis
tress. Too many there are in the world
whose attachment to those who they call
fiiends, is confined to the day of prosperity,
As long as that continues, they appear to
be affectionate and cordial. But as soon as
their friend is under cloud they begin to
withdraw and separate their interest from
his. In friendship of this sort, the heart
assuredly never had much concern For
the great test Of true friendship is constancy
in the hour Of danger adherence in the
season of distress, When your friend is
illuminated, then is the time, opened and
openly and boldly cspoused his cause. -
When his situation is changed, or mlStor-
tunes are fast gathering around him, then
is the time of atfording prompt and Jealous
aid;when sickness or iniirmity occasions hun
to be neglected by Others, that Is the op-
pertunity which every real friend will seize
of redouhling ali the allectionate attention
which love suggests. These are the mpor-
tant duties, the sacred claims OF friendship
which religion and virtue enforce on every
worhy mind To show yourself warm N
this manner in the cause OF your friend
commands esteem even in those who have
personal interest in opposing him. Inns
honorable zeal Of friendship has m every
age, attracted the yeneration OF mankind
1t consecrates 10 the latest posterlty the
names of those who have exposed then
lives in behalf of their friends whom they
love; while ignominy and disgrace have evell
been the portion of those who deserted

Iou see little children standing in the
streets Of the villages, and in the streams
which generally run down them, busy wash
