PHILocHELoN1A.-A writer in the Bulletin,
Humanity" demands that q stop be put to the
"fendish treatment of green turtles by the restau
rateurs of this city He complains that they lie
for days upon their backs In the hot sun, In front
of such doors. As we, too, are opposed to cruelty
to all animals, let us get up Philochelonia Philo-
crustacea and Philopscis Society, for the purpose
of ameliorating the sad condition of all turtles,
terrapins, Holsters, oysters, shrimps and fishes
brought to market. We differ with Humanity"
however, about the green turtle suffering any
from the heat Of our San Francisco sun. On the
contrary, accustomed as they are to the fierce
tropical rays of their native sand beaches, moth.
ing SO delights these amphibia as to bask in heat
nearly reaching TO boiling water. We suggest,
therefore, that these unfeeling wretches, the RES
taurant men, shall be compelled to keep the turtles
in Dutch ovens, or other places kept constantly
up to a temperature approximating to the climate
Of their nativity; and when killed. that their
heads, which are known to live several days after
being severed from their bodies, shall be at once
burnt or cut open, as to quickly end Its misery.

PRo-SLAvERY ScRUPLEs.-The pro-slave-
ry men in Maryland insist, now that no Con-
stitutional Convention can be called in that
State to abolish slavery before 1865. These
are the same men who, in 1861, tried to
force Governor Hicks to call an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature in order to get a
Constitutional Convention together to drag
the State into rebellion. They saw no con-
stitutional objection to hurried call Of a
Convention, while the country was in a
blaze of excitement, to rush Maryland into
rebellion. They had no constitutional scru-
pies then, and the arguments they used at
that time ought to stop their mouths now.

HARDEST TO PLEAsE.-From present ap-
pearances, it looks as if it would be much
more difficult to reconcile Northern Demo-
Gratis to the suppression Of the rebellion, and
the destruction of slavery, which is sure to
follow, than it will be to bring the rebels
themselves to good temper and quiet submits
sion. By degrees, leading men in the South
are giving up their opposition to the Govern
ment, and accepting the terms allowed to
them, but as fast as the prospect of national
success brightens, reasonable Democrats
among US seem to grow more desperate,
malignant, gloomy and ferocious. They want
the war stopped and slavery restored more
than the South; they say every missing slave
must be paid for, or sought out and returned
to his master; they claim for the rebellion a
support and sympathy which its leaders and
contrivers never pretend to ask. Such dema-
gogues and haters of the Government and Of
freedom are far worse enemies than the foe
in the open field; they deserve traitors
punishment and shame, quite as much as any
Confederate chief or subject.

Our RApIcaLINe THE RADIcALs.-Gen-
eral CAN'T, late Brigadier-General in the
Confederate army, and who received the ben
EFT of the Presidents amnesty proclamation
by taking the oath of allegiance is now ma
king speeches in many of the Eastern cities,
in which he far out-goes the most ultra and
radical. We like very much his speeches,
and believe in every word he expresses. But
it seems to US to be a rational conclusion
that person holding so high position as
Brigadier-General, and enjoying as he mus.
so many of the secrets and plans Of the
Confederates, would show good taste at least
by taking the oath and remaining in private
for season. 1t wears the appearance Of too
earnest a desire to repent of former trans
gressions, and receive honors from the object
Of recent asperity.

Army CLOTHING BY MAIL.-War is q de-
veloper as well as a destroyer. Our war has
developed much more wisdom in American
craftsmanship than was expected. One OF
the shrewd, not to say wise, inventions Of
Congress, is the one here appended, by which
regard for soldier-friends will bring benefit to
the army and willing revenue to the Treas
ury:
Articles of clothing, being manufactured OF
wool. cotton or linen, and comprised in package
not exceeding two pounds in weight, addressed to
any non-commissioned officer or private serving
in the armies of the United States may be trans
mitted in the mails of the United States at the
rate of eight cents, to be in all cases prepaid Tor
every four ounces, any fraction thereof, subject
to such regulations as the Postmaster-General
NAV prescribe.

coLoRED SOLDIERS.

The number of colored soldiers now in the
Union army must be quite large, and the
time since they were first employed has been
sufficient to fully test their efficiency. Inc
result has proved satisfactory. The arsu-
ments urged against their employment nave
been nobly refuted by their services ana
since they first appeared upon the stage oil
action, the complaints Of certain evl-Seers
have ceased. This large and efficient force
would, instead of rendering us service, been
of great inconvenience to the Government
had they been allowed to remain idle. The
Commissary Department would have had to
maintain them, and without some organiza-
ton and government BY the military authori-
ties, the vast number Of contrabands that
gathered around the army would have been
positive enemy, carrying information to the
foe, and spreading Generalization through
the camps. So far as the welfare Of the
negroes themselves is concerned, it is the
most fortunate thing that could have hap
pened to them. Coming Immediately from
ignorant bondage to entire freedom, without
some such stepping stone, would have had a
strong tendency to have made them unruly,
vicious. end vagrant citizens. But with the
knowledge of the world, and the ideas OF
freedom which they will acquire in their new
employment, they will go back among their
old associates with self respect and per-
sonal pride which will soon extend its intiu-
ence to the whole class.
The result Of the experiment was clearly
seen long ago by the rebel leaders, and every
means was tried by them to ward off the blow
as long as possible, or entirely turn it aside.
They cried inhumanity, barbarity, Vandal-
ism, and then threatened mo quarter"
Still they cling to the last straw Of hope and
refuse to treat the captured colored men as
prisoners of OF war. But they will soon see
that all is useless. To treat them as criminals
viii be but another display Of their internal
motiye-and to massacre them, they dare
not do it. This project Of employing negroes
in the army never met with more opposition
from the Union men in the South than it did
from the citizens of the North. The men in
the South have no reserve in putting negroes
into the ranks as substitutes for white men
who have been drafted, and the Union men
in the South had much rather see the negroes
serving the country in the Federal army than
lying around idle.
