Why THE PRESIDENT BACKED Down AND
LEFT GREELEY IN THE LURCH. We learn
from a source entitled to credit that the rea.
son why the President prem mptorily termin
ated the negotiations he had entrusted to
Horace Greeley, was the following: Mr.
Greeley's dispatch to the President asking
for additional instructions, fell into the hands
Of Secretary Stanton, who repaired with it
to the White House and demanded to know
what it meant. We are not informed of the
purport of the high words which passed be.
tween these public iunctonares; but the
result was that the President backed square
out of his undertaking with Mr. Greeley. and
left Mr.. Stanton master of the situation.
Major Hay was then dispatched with the
courtly and dignifed letter "ro all whom it
may concern" which our readers have Pc
rused" We learn that Stanton on the re-
ceipt Of the dispatch to the President,
ordered the arrest of the telegraph operator
at the Falls; but Greeley saved him. The
next time the President opens negotiations
for peace, he had better take Mr.. Stanton
into his confidence. Mr.. Greeley left the
Falls in towering passion. and possibly
somebody may be hurt. Buffalo Courier.

When. an officer OF the Government Of the
revolution, the first Napoleon bad been or
dered out to disperse a body of rioters s.
Having drawn up his soldiers and some guns
across the street, he waited their advance
They at length appeared, sweeping down on
him and his party like a roaring torrent
The arlIIerymen, with their port fires, stood
ready at his signal to pour showers Of grape
into the body Of the mob. Unwilling to
shed blood, he stepped out from his men to
reason with the suffering and misguided peo.
pie, and soon found himself vis-avs with
their head, vrago of woman, whose app
pearance presented remarkable contrast
to his own. She was of great size and enorl
mouslv fat; while he, always very little, was
at that time so thin, as well as small, that
Corporal" He demonstrated with this lady;
but she replied with voleys Of abuse, telling
him that while she and other honest, hard
working people were starving, such idle fel
lows as he and bis soldiers were fattening on
the best of the land. With that eagle eye
and remarkable promptlude which after
wards turned the fate OF many battlefield,
Napoleon saw at once the weak point of his
adversarys position. He paused ill she was
out of breath. Then taking off his hat, he
bowed to the mob, and placing bis own thin
figure beside that of his fat opponent, he
asked them to say, whether the good lady
or he looked most like starving. AS happens
in more respectable assemblies than mobs,
and elsewhere than in witty France, good.
humored joke won the day; and the people,
for the time at least, quietly dispersed.

themselves with the deluson that the nomi
nation of Mcclellan would split the Demo.
cratic party. They are badly fooled Every
Democratic paper that comes to us is heartily
for the Chicago nominees. The Stockton
Beacon SAYS:
1--WE hail with JOY the platform Of the
Democratic National Convention at Chicago.
That platform with the nomination Of Nc
Clellan and Pendlelon, endorsed as platform
and candidates both are by the unanimous
voice Of Convention that numbered in its
body some Of the staunchest Democrats
and wisest statesmen Of the country, pre-,
sents to the people the glorious fact that
the Democratic party is again united
Smiling peace will soon visit our land and
drive away the murderous civil strife that
promises naught but destruction. The good
old Democratic times of peace, plenty, hap>
piness and prosperity, will soon revisit our
shores, when the "free American citizen of
African Descent" will be no longer recog-
nzed as the white mans equal. and when
this will be deemed a white mans country.
A thrill of joy pervades the land at the glad
tdings A united Democracy is certain
victory. The days Of Republicanism are
numbered. The people are awakening from
their lethargy, and the Democracy will soon
prove to the world, yet, that man is capable
of self government. We congratulate the
Democracy upon its unity; we congratulate
the country upon the union of the Demon
cratic party. The country breathes freer."

REBELS AND LoYALIsTs Our fathers were
called rebels, and they believed very much
as do those who are called rebel sympathiz
ers now. Let US compare their opinions and
ours: The rebels of 1776 believed that
government has no powers which it does
not derive from the consent of the governed;
the loyalists did not. The rebels of l776
believed in voluntary Union. the loyalsts
did not The rebels Of l776 believed in the
right of seflgovernment, the loyaIists did
not. The rebels of 1776 believed that CEN
trallzation of power was despoism, the Ioy'
alists did not. The rebels Of l776 believed
that an attempt to restrain the liberties of
a free people ought to be met with mastery
and determined resistance, the loyalsts did
not. The rebels of l776 believed Just AS
Democrats do now, the IoyaIists believed as
the same class of traitors 10 now.-Day Book.

TO PREVENT CATTLE FROM JUMPING FEM
cEs.-The following singular statement was
made at late meeting Of the American
Institute Farmers Club at New York:
To prevent steers from jumping fences,
clip off the eyelashes of the under lids with
pair Of scissors and the ability or disposi.
tion TO Jump is as effectually destroyed as
SIMPSONS power was by the loss of his
locks. The animal will not attempt fence
until the eyelashes are grown again. OF
this we are informed by Mr.. Samuel Thorne,
the great breeder of Dutchess county, who
assured us that he had tested it upon pair
of very breechy oxen. AS it was Of value
to him, he hopes it will be tried by others

DoUBTFUL.--l am afraid that the tale of
"exhauslion," which is now so extensively
promulgated, is made of the same stuff as
the tale of starvation. With certain papers,
remarkable for the falsity of their predic-
tons, every month which has elapsed since
the beginning Of the war has been marked
by southern famine and destilution, such as
those of which the wars of the Palalinates
under Louis XIV, offer very faint idea.
Had any one of these tales been true the
South would be to day as empty and desoIate
as the Desert of Sahara. But as the South,
although deprived Of luxuries, has never
been wanting in the necessaries Of life; as the
prvations endured by the citizens and SOL
diers rather strengthened than weakened
their courage, and taught them to battle
against adversely with more than usual forti-
tude, it follows that we find them, at the
expiration of three years, and after the loss
of hundreds of thousands of their best
troops. determined and formidable. Now,
what has been said Of the starvation can be
applied 10 the exhaustion theory

From Rev. J. Newton Brown, D. D., Editor
Of the Encyclopedia of Religious knowledge,
and Christian Chronicle, Philadelphia.
Although not disposed to favor or recon-
mend Patent Medicines in general, through dis
trust of their ingredients and effects, yet know
of no sufficient reason why man may not tes-
tify to the benefits he believer himself to have
received from any simple preparation, in the
hope that he may thus contribute to the benefit
Of others.
do this the more readily in regard to Hoof-
lands German Bitters, prepared BY DR.. C. NJ.
Jackson, of this city, because was prejudiced
against them for many years, under the impress
sion that they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture
| am indebted to my friend, Robert Shoemaker,
Esq, for the removal of this prejudiceby proper
tests, an for encouragement to try them, when
suffering from great and long continued debil-
ity. The use of three bottles of those bitters at
the beginning of the present year, was followed
by evident relief and restoration to a degree of
bodily mental vigor which had not felt for
six months before, and had almost despaired of
regaining. l therefore thank God and my
friend for directing me to the use of them.
