The Cat, and How She Became
& a Beautiful Young Woman.

The most truthful of all historians, the
great Aesop, tells US that young man TEL,
30 deep In love with his cat that he prayed
ito Venus morning, noon, and night 70
change her into woman. 1t is SUPPOSE
that the genius she displayed In catching
mice led him to regard her as the best pos,
sible material for an excellent young Wo'
man, though Aesop does not state this IN
80 MANY words. The historian goes on TO
say that Venus was at last Obliged to yleio
to the pressure, and change the cat into a
most beautiful young woman, got up WITH
out regard to expense. The young man
was happier than the celebrated king who
passed his time in counting out his money
in the parlor-happier than the queen, his
consort who regained herself in the kitchen
with bread and honey. He determined to
make her his wife that very day, and, IN
Aesop's expressive language, darted off i'm
mediatly for the license and the clergyman.
The neighbors were invited in, and had q
dance all round. In short, sail went mer-
nv as a marriage BELL" says Aesop, quoting
Hesiod. But in the middle of the night,
az the bride lay doing, mouse began to
scratch. Suddenly she lcaped out of bed,
got down on all tours, and prepared for a
spring. Here is great hiatus in Aesop's
manuscript, and il is ~possible at this day
to learn the sequel u this history. But
Aesop, who firmly believed that "history is
philosophy teaching by example," was in
the habit of writing out "moral'' and an
application" for each of his histories, and
those which he wrote for this history are
still extant. They are as follows:
"MoRAL-If you drive out nature with
pitchfork she will run back again"
AppL1cATIoN.-Readt the history Of "The
Robin boy and how he became Major
General He was originallya bobbin boy
in cotton factory, and was made Major
General for reasons similar to those which
led to the changing oil the cat into wo'
man. He got on pretty well till one day
he saw some cotton at distance. lmme
dietely the old instinct returned he made
a spring at the cotton, and didn't get it,

RumOrs from tie Front
Dispatch to the World. |
WASHINGTON. Nav /

WASHINGTON, May L
In the absence of any official news the
city is filled with the most ab-urd rumors
touching the situation in Virginia 1t was
currently stated in the street to day that
Grant had crossed the Rapidan, and that
Lee was retiring from his strong works on
the south bank of that river. The stop
page of all mail communications with the
army was of course the means Of starting
all manner of rumurs in connection with
army movements. 1t is enough to know
that stirring news cannot be very long de-
layed, and that decisive battle or battles
is due at any moment
1t is hopeful sign that so very few even
pretend to knowledge OF General Grants
actual programme OF operations. 1t must
be admitted that in official military circles
there is a feeling Of great gravity. The
Boosting confidence with which every for.
ward movement has heretofore been under
taken has entirely disappeared, and instead
perhaps an undue feeling of responsibility is
apparent, Although this feeling is some.
what depressing as compared with the
hopetuincss OF former times, il may. by in
ducing greater cautlUusneSS and care in the
preparation, lead to better and more COM
plete result than was ever before obi aimed.
1t is noticeable that the radicals, who for
the whole three years OF the war up to the
present time have been ridicuhng the
strength and size of the rebel armies, are
now among the most umid and apprhensive
men in Washington. Among tie conserva-
tive circles there is much better state of
feeling exhibited.

TsE secession tendencies of the Repuo-
lican party have been more than once mace
the subject of comment. The dlsunion az
titude of the abolitionist conventions wnlcn
in former years we're held in Massachusetts
and others of the New England States, IS
matter of truthful history. The fact that
numerous petitions were presented In Con
eress by representatives from the New
England States praying for the dissolution
Of the Union, is indisputably recorded
Tho fact that the term "Union Saver" was
sneerinply used as the vilest term OF re-
nroach that could be invented to character
ize those whe labored to prevent secession,
"a we'll remembered by all. 1t is also re-
membered that only a few years ago, Re-
publican newspapers and Republican ora
tors figured up the value of the Union con-
s;dered as a question of dollars and cents,
and endeavorcd to prove that il involved a
direct loss to each man woman and child ID
the Northern States. The fact that at the
beginning of the present Wal many OF the
more influential journals of the Republican
party advocated the policy OF letting the
South 60, is also fresh in our recoclection'
Added to these things, is the disposition OF
MIR Summer and Others to wage war against
the South as against foreign enemy and
the fierce opposition of the Administration
nartv tn any measure tending to the restor'
alton OF the Union as it was. In view Oh
all these things, Judging the party oy It's
past history and by the acts of its present
leaders. what other conclusion can De
reached than that the Republican party is
tho foe Of the Union and is even now in
tr;pu;ne for its final and inevitable dissolu-
ton.
And of this there is still further testlmo-
nv than has been yet alluded to. Mr..
STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, one OF the &C.
knowledged leaders of the Republican par
~. introduced in Congress, only few days
ago a series of resolutions expressly declar-
ing the Southern States no longer members
of the Union andsaying, in effect, that the
United States is waging war Tor conquest,
against the Southern Confederacy, and that
whatever territory may be wrested from the
enemy BY force of arms is to be annexed to
to the Northern Government. The resolu
tions received the support of majority Of
the Republican members of Congress.
And this is the party which now styles
itself the "Union party these arc the
men who claim to be pa, excellence Union
men :" these are the gentry who stigma
tie as "sympathizers with secession all
who really love the Union and dare to
speak in its behalf The "Unionism" of the
Republican party is cheat, snare and a
delusion. 1t will drop its mask and stand
forth in its true disunion colors before
another year expires

NEwBERN, April 30.
The fall of Plymouth, Of which wrote

ranged two months since, and | have heard
on undoubted authority, that the rebels,
when they rushed into the town, animated
by the wild fury which seized them when
the doomed black soldiers were seen on the

aid in its overthrow at the South, by the
insiGious viles and crafty treason Of spy.

THE CONDITION OF THE RED RIVER.
Admiral Porter writes; in private let
ter here, that there is not more than eirhT
teet OF water, on an average, in the Red
river between Alexandria and Grand Ecorc.
If the river falls any lower, the whole army
and fleet will be obliged to return to Alex
andrla; but the belief was, at the time Ad-
mraI Porter wrote, that the river would
soon begin to rise, which would make
great difference in the operations of Gen.
Banks and Admirsl Porter.
