MCGREGoR, May 29th, III.
Editors Times AS believe the objects
of the Mechanics Association of this City
are not understood, would therefore state
them to the public through your columns
as understand them: They aim to join
in common interest for the assistance and
protection Of members, to demand remune-
rative wages for labor, care in sickness,
advice in health, and collect in their absence
or death such monies as they may earn,
and give it to their families. For this pur-
pose an initiation fee will be required
according to the income of the person be-.
coming member. Monies so accumulated
will be disbursed by committee appointed
for that purpose. Not so much bugbear
to the Capitalist after all. Because there
has ever been antagonism between them,
Capital- assuming the arbitration and Labor
not mako the vffer,, -~r,.-o.r--:. -..~...s.
not be conciliated. A liberal view of the
matter shows there is no absolute indepen.
dence Sor either; if there is a preponderance
it is in favor of Labor. Were it not for
monopolics, the laborer could claim por.
ton of the soil as Gods heritage, cultivate
it and live, Labor being primal in its
existence. The common wants of man
have wrought both. We will designate
Capital and Labor as Trade and Spade
why should they net go hand in hand as
brothers? If Spade helped Trade to his
prosperity, does not Trade strike at its own
vitality in refusing to assist Spade in adver.
sity? In short, do not the exigencies of
the case demand unanimity and equaliza.
ton? Self aggrandzement makes Trade
tyranical; he is despicable tyrant,:: ,::whose
only reason for tyranizing is the weakness
Of his subjects. II united, Labor need not
be weak. Another argument which Trade
uses against Spade, is the lack of intelli-
gence among laborins classes. Thanks to
the free schools of America, the ring of
the woodman's axe is echoed in the halls
Of Congress, the voice of laborer pro-
claimed tidings Of joy to millions of bond
men, the voice of laborer is dealing justice
to treason along the batteries and among
the hills of the Palmetto and the Pine.
Do you see the point, Trade? Spade
wants to shake hands with you, receive a
portion Of the profits and live happily to-
gether. In order to enable you to see the
point, change places with Spade.

The New York Meas refers to the sx.
cuse given for the arrest Of New York
editors:
HAS it come to this, that our public
journals are to be suppressed by arbitrary
power because they lack omniscience and
are subject to the chances of being imposed
upon by trick When tho victim is to
be punished by military action for want Of
caution, it is time to reward the rogue for
his dcxterity. We shall soon, at this rate,
learn that the citizen whose pocket has
been picked must be arrested and sent to
Fort Lafayette, to enforce upon the com.
munity the necessity of greater caution
than has hitherto been exercised in matters
Of this kind.

females of that place were so unwomanly

household. There were two women who

just recovered q verdict CT IS, 900 against

There are two suits pending; one by the

How War-PestilencS is Generated.
The shoddy Plague.
The New York Herald Of a recent date
had an article calling attention to the
numerous diseases with which the land is
now afflicted, and investigates the way in
which they are generated. Among other
suggestions, it says:
"Can it be that shodjy plague is creep.
ing stealthily into our midst !-some un.
known terror, which medical science has
not contemplated or provided for; a com
bination of diseases, originating from cause
hitherto not existing in this country the
poison Of the hospital and the attle-field,
conveyed in the form of shoddy flannels
and shoddy muslin goods?
We believe there is no doubt that the
materials Of which these articles are ccm-
posed come mainly from these sources
We have it on the authority Of one of the
managers Of prominent shoddy factory
in Pennsylvania that the shirts, blankets,
and even the bandages, of the wounded,
dead and diseased, both the field and in the
hospitals, are received there actually moist
with blood and corruption, and in this state
are torn into shreds in the machines, and
manu- u'actured into shoddy fannels, blank.

then the shoddy manufacturers out-vie in
their hideous but profitable trade, the ex.

cribes him, during the plague of London.

Of business are at all scrupnlous-mus

THE CAVALRY CHARGE.
NJ FRANCIS A. puRIvAoH.

With bray Of the trumpet
And roll Of the drum,
And keen ring Of bugles,
The cavalry come.
Sharp clank the steel scabbards,
The bride chains ring,
And foam from red nostrils
The wild chargers ding.
Tramp Tramp! DER the green sward
That quivers below,
Scarce held by the curl b-bit
The fierce horses got
And the grim-yisaged colonel,
With ear rending shout,
Peals forth to the squadrons;
The order--"Trot out"
One hand on the sabre,
And one on the rein,
The troopers move forward
In line on the plain.
As rings the word "gallop!'
The steel scabbards clank,
And each rowel is pressed
To horses hot flank;
And swift Is their rush
As the wild torrents flow,
When it flows from the czag
On the valley below.
"Chargep' thunders the leader;
Like shaft from the bow
Each mad horse is hurled
On the wavering foe.
thousand bright sabres
An cleaning in air;
thoNand dark horses
Are flashed on the square.
Resist hss and reckless
or otSht may betide,
Like dehens, not mortals.
The Vld troopers ride.
Cut right! and cut leftl-
For tie parry who needsl
The bapnets shiver
Like Nina shattered reeds.
Vain--vain the red volIey
Tha bursts from the square,
The rindom-shot bullets
Are wasted in air.
Triumphant, remorseless,
Unrring As DEATH
No saSre that's stainless
Returns to its sheath.
The wounds that are dealt
By that murderous steel
Will never yield ease
For the surgeons to heal.
Ilurrah they are broken
Hurrah! boys, they fly
None linger save those
Who but linger to die.
Reign up your hot horses
And call In your men;
The trumpet sounds ''Rally
To COLOR again.
Some saddles are empty,
Some comrades are slain,
And some noble horses
Lie stark on the plain,
But wars chance game, boys,
And weeping is vain.
