Sentim ents of the Army.

1t was Lord Byron. we believe, who, in al
fusion to his duel with Tom Moore, said, sit
is wonderful how we'll we like a man after
having fought with him" There ought not
to be any wonder about it The fact, and it
is a fact, iflustrates one Of the commonest
traits-and one of the noblest, too-of human
nature. The brave man admires bravery,
and the battle over, will take his late enemy's
hand in the grasp of heartier and sincerer
friendship than he could possibly extend to
the coward who. has all the while pretended
to stand by him.
So in the present war The men of the
north who have fought with the men of the
south are the readiest to forget the past,
shake hands over the present and walk to-
gether as friends in the future. 1t is only
some who have viewed the battle afar off in
whose breasts hatred and luminosity against
the defeated are still allowed to rankle
On Monday evening last, q lumber of dis
tinguished officers of Sherman's army, ad-
dressed a large assemblage of citizens and
soldiers at Louisville. the occasion
being their leave taking of the troops they
have recently commanded in the field. The
sentiments uttered by them all were such as
only brave men would utter. General Sher-
man closed his remarks by saying: snow.
do not feel any more unkindness against
the south than / did before the war. The
war is over. and we have duty devolving
upon US which is a very plain one. Let each
60 home and mind his own business" Gen.
Blair, looking at the great results of the war,
felt that the southern people were to be BEN
Gifted by them equally with those of the
north. The gallant General Logan said -
Our southern brethren having been over
come, their duty is to quietly submit to the
laws. Let US be magnanimous to them and
peace shall reign over united country, and
God, in his infinite mercy. will bless US and
the nation while time shall last" General
Hazeu said:
am glad, then, gentlemen, have this oppor-
tunity of saying to those states, ! will help to
build them up With the same coed wall that We
then broke down rebellion. The army and people
will help in this great work. .-- e.
They fought us bravey and were beaten. They
accept the condition honestly, and must we.-
We are great enough and strong enough and must
be magnanimous enough to meet this once proud,
but now fallen people, in kindness, and 1 know
there is not soldier In the army OF the United
States, and trust not citizen in these states,
who would strike fallen foe.
1t is just such sentiments as these that
should inspire the popular heart every where
with hope for the nation, and confidence in
the perpetuity of the Union.-C Chicago Re.

The Springfield correspondent of the Chi.
cago Republican says the new peuitentiary
buildings are suffering serious injury from the
storms and exposure to the weather, simply
because the republican legislature refused to
make the necessary appropriations for the
preservation of the work.
The correspondent says:
regret to learn that the condition of the
peniteDtiary az Joliet, rs respects repairs, &c,
which are absolutely necessary for it's preser
walton from ruin, is very bad indeed. Every
day the work, which has cost the state hun
| dreds OF thousands of dollars, is every where
showing the effects of the assaults of the ele-
! ments. In fact, from what can learn, dur
| ing the next two years, and until another
| Legislature will sit, this building. one of the
| most msgniicent structures of the kind in the
northwest, will be shorn of some of its besl
| looks and finest proportions.
| The reason for this state of affair is thai
| the legislature AT its last session, passed nc
appropriation for the repair of the present
buildings, or for ths completion of the insti
tuition according TO the original plan. And the
law is so strict that the commissioners dare
not expend q dollar il they had the money
nor dare they contract for any work for which
| the legislature had not made an appropria.
| ton.
| And who is to blame for THE il will be
asked. As nearly as can make out the
| blame lies with the Tribune, ewspaper, of
your city. and certain member in the house
from Cook county; and as nearly also as
can learn. certain stone quarry at Athens
or somewhere in that vicinity, was the NOV.
! ing cause in the opposition to the necessary
appropriations Whether the member from
Cook or the newspaper. or both. were inter
ested in the stone quarry, am not enabled
to cay; but certain it Is, that stone quarry
will cost the state of Illinois the snug sum OF
| fifty or sixty Thousand dollars. Indeed, il
the pext two seasons are bad the entire loss
TO the Illinois treasury will exceed one bun.

Frogtown was shaken from propriety by
one grand subimely, ridiculous and most
terrific battle
Heads and windows were smashed, chill
dren and women screamed, dogs barked,
dust flew, labor ceased, and so furious, mad,
and excited became the whole community,
that a quiet looker-on, if there had been
any, would have sworn the evil ones were
all in Frogtown.
A heavy thunder storm finally put an
end to the row, the dogs were all more or
less killed, child severely wounded, a man
scalded a wagon broke, the horse ran him
self to DEATH his owner badly beaten by
Bob Carter, whose wife, ard the wives of
many others were dangerously scared, the
painter was crippled, dry goods ruined, a
Quaker, a Deacon, two lrishmen Joe Tuck

Catcham, and some fifty others most shame
