of our troops, and then making the best bar
gain with the rebels which We are able. The
kindest manner consists in saying to the
shareholders who fomented and continue this
rebellion: Keep your slaves, to be the oc-
casion of new quarrels hereafter" The
kindest manner, in short, is the cowardly and
shameful abandonment of the cause of the
Union.

A REBELS REASONS FOR DEsERTING.-The

three years, and when | first entered the
army the Confederacy was composed of If
teen States, Tor at least | was induced to be-
heve SOY
Well, at the end of the first years war we
could claim but thirteen States at the end of
the second bot nine; and now we can't claim
a single whole State, and we can only claim
parts of sir StateS-Alabama, Florida. Georg-
ia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia
Thus we have have lost more than tgo-
thirds of the original Southern Confederacv.
This is not the sum total of our loss either:
for are hare lost equally as heartily in men, mon
en-. and credit as we have in territory.
Our troubles are increased every day; for
we have lost all the country depended on to
supplv our army with rations. When we
Welded the Mississippi river, all the fire Tex
as beef cattle were cut of. This is an lnsup
portable loss to the Confederaey. Tennessee
and Southern Kentucky were our dependence
for much of our corn, wheat and bacon, tt
say nothing of horses for cavalry. This wa:
great loss
East Tennessee furnished US nitre and coal
it, too, is gone! And our armies are nov
forced back into the poorest parts of the
South where it is impossible to supply it witt
either food or raiment for any length of time
This shows that the chance for Southern in
dependence is quite slim, and saw it wa:
folly to be fighting always without any hope

was not for the big men of the South They

"REMINISCENCES OF MARGARET FULLER.

"REMINISCENCES OF MARGARET FULLER-Robt.
Browning gave me, the other day, some ac-
count of the acquaintance which he and his
wife enjoyed with Margaret Fuller, at Flor
ence during the six months Immediately pre-
ceding her embarkation on the fatal voyage.
They saw her constantly, and deeply appre-
cated her wonderful gifts There was some
scandal as to her marriage with Count Ossoli,
with the noble descent of whom the Brown
ings were acquainted; and to whose high
character, simplicity of manners, and excel
lent qualities, Mr.. B. bore witness, which /
was glad to hear. Margaret was anxious to
remain in Florence; but her efforts to pro-
cure such literary engagements in America
as would enable her to do so had failed, and
she was of so Independent a spirit that she
would not accept the freely proffered aid of
friends. 1t was a matter of economy that
she embarked for America from Italy, instead
of going through England. She indicated a
slight uneasnes at hearing that Ossoi had by
some fortune-teller been in early life warned
against the sea, but the Count laughed at it.
Two or three days before that fixed for her
departure, Mr.. and Mrs. Browning, visiting
her, found her with a letter which, she said,
had it been received week earlier would
have kept her in Italy. They entreated her
to remain; but she declared that she had
made contract with the captain, and he had
made alterations in che cabin for her, and ia
ken a woman along to assist her. The even
ing before the departure she spent with the
Brownings, and at parting, Mrs. Browning
pressed upon her finger ring with carbun-
Gle; she was unaware of Margaret's supersti-
ton with regard to the carbuncle, which she
always wore because they are male and te-
male. Margaret received the gift with tears
and declared that she would wear it to her
dying day. Some weeks aftcrward, Mrs.
Browning received from her melancholy
letter, written--or scratched, rather-at
Gibraltar, in which she told the sad story OF
the suffering by small pox, the death of the
captain, and the cruelty of the quarantine,
which would not suffer them to land, but
forced them to voyage on with the dreadful
disease still lurking in the ship, and only the
mate for captain. 1t was the last letter Mar
garet ever wrote. The rest of the tragedy is
known, and remembered too painfully for me

We Irish Democrats may not like the COM

burst, the Abolitionists as principal instiga-
tors of the Southern revolt, but facts, whether
just or unjust, are against us. The Abolition
lists have actually carried the day, and it IS
utterly out of our power to drive them back
to night again Abolitionism of the most
perpetual and sweeping kind is sweeping the
entire nation. And we may as well not resist
the national current. The tide is rising; let
US not permit it to leave us in the solitary
sand. As there is a christian philanthropy
in emancipating the blacks, let us have that
philanthropy; as it is justice to tiae nation to
