THE ERA OF CRIME.
Under the above title the Quincy Times
publishes the following:

Under the above title the Quincy Times
publishes the following:
1t is not to be concealed that our country
has entered upon ami is yet 10 witness an
era of crime and immortality almost unpar-
aleled IN the history Of the world. There
is scarcely city of any size in the country
in which it Is either prudent or safe for u
man to risk himself at night in the public
streets. When he does SO he is in danger
of being either robbed or murdered, and ip
many cases of being visited with both,
While this is true Of men, it is equally true
that in no city of the country, not even here
in Quincy, can lady walk after dark from
her own front door to that of her nearest
neighbor, without running the risk Of insult
and outrage, and but few respectable
women have the courage to attempt it.
Women of doubtful regulations, notorious
cyprons, however, promenade the streets
in all our large cities from dark to midnight
with perfect impunity. The whole country
is fearfully, deplorably dcmoraized. Those
who preach for war preach for denoralized
society, degtading immortality and brulaI
crime. The people OF this country, from
one end of il 10 the other, North, South,
East and West, will yet deplore from theil
inmost souls the evils and dangers they
have brought upon themselves, These
evils are the penalty which irrevocable fat
demands they shall pay, and the punish
ment which they iufict upon themselves TO
indulging so freely, so bliudly, and so mad
" in the horrible pastime of cruelty butch
ering each other. The war could have
been avoided and ought TO have been. /
could have been avoided by the people c
both sections, If they had mutually show
spirit of compromise and brotherly love
They choose not TO do SO on either side.

The Patterson IN. J.) Press gives the
following account of hero of two wars,
who visited Patterson few days ago. The
name Of the veteran is Hicks, and in 1912
he joined the army and served during the
war with England. A, the time Of peace
he laid down the musket, and for a half O
century was engaged in peaceful pursuits.
AT the commencement Of the rebellion he
resided in Illinois, near Galena, the home of
Gen. Grant. Although eighty years of age
he joined regiment of volunteers, and
marched 10 the war. Under Grant he took
part in the capture of Fort Henry and Fort
Donolson, and fought bravely in the
desperate battle of Shiloh. The nged pri-
vate and the youthful General served to-
gether in the brilliant Western campaigns,
till finally success crowned their efforts.
The old man had been three times wounded
in this war, but now, the Press says, when
he has received his discharge he is appa-
rentIy os strong and hearty as must of the
men of half his age, and but for his snow
white hair, 10 see him stride along with his
firm military tread, no one would think
him day over fifty. Hicks has a sister
living in Sussex county, near Newton,
whom he was going to see. He marched
from New York the night before, and
oamped out during the night, his money
having been spent while in the hospital,
Yesterday morning he was purposing 10
take up the line of march for his sisters
residence, thirty miles distant. Some
gentlemen falling in with him, attracted by
his appearance, drew from HIM his story,
the substance Of which we have given
. above. One Of them remarked that he should
have been something more than a private,
but the old man said he had refused ell
promotions, which had more than once
been offered him. The gentlemen interest
ed themselves in his behalf, and in a few
moments had raised fund of twenty dollars,
which they placed in his possession. They
r then put him in the stage for New York.
: where he could take the cars for Newton.

monstrance, cit is still quiet night, and
they II smell the smoked" Afraid to
return to town, they CROPPED about in
the swamp awhile, getting into all sorts
of mudholes and bitches, and bark
ing their shins in the darkness,
until they came to an old crib with fodder
in the loft, and in this fodder they hid
themselves and slept till morning. When
they finally ventured back to town they
found that the supposed Yankees were
merely squad of frightened Pumpkin
Studs, who had dashed into the town, not
to take it, but to claim its protection.
Other incidents might narrate; but the
above will serve for a sample of the ex-
element that prevailed. o..
Now that the Yankees are reliably re-
ported to have put back to Baton Rouge,
the excitement has simmered down, and
Osyka and Tangipaho are themselves again.
The Studs are all on hand again, and if
they are only supplied with proper arms
and plenty of ammunition, think it safe
thing to bet that they N stand their ground
and fight the next time. The next Yam
kee inspection tour, it is expected, will be
about Christmas.

FROM RICHMOND.
IMPORTANT REBEL MANIFESTO
OVertures for Foreign Recognition.
Special Dispatch to ihe Philadelphia Insu;rer

Special Dispatch to ho Philadelphia Inquirer
WASHINGTON, January 3.--The follow
ing editorial from the Richmond Sentinel
has been deemed by Secretary Seward of
such Importance, and so truly representing
the condition of the South and jeff. Da-
vis's own intentions, that he has ordered
copies OF it to be sent to our foreign min
listers, to show that the rebel government
is admitted by their own leaders to be a
failure, and that, already exhausted and
worn out, they are seeking for some port
of refuge; and that this being the case,
they should be no longer considered as
belligerents." Those most familiar with
jeff Davis and his writings, declare this
to be frsm his pen. The editorial is a.
follows:
Troublesome times are upon us. Great
exigencies surround u.s. We need all our
strength and all our wisdom Let there
be conference of all our wise men. Let
there be a calm investigation of our wants
and O catalogue of our resources. Then,
by common consent, let all obstacles to the
employment of these resources be re-
moved. So long as we have a man or q
dollar, and the man or dollar be needed,
let the call be honored
1t would be adding disgrace to our mis-
cry, if we were overcome without having
first exhausted every resource of defence.
r. would be doubly infamous to Us. be-
cause, with contributions to our defence
equal to the spoliations We should suffer if
conquered, our success would be assured.
We should come out of the contest at least
With that which would be&orth more than
Ill the rest, our liberties and our country.
Il we had thrown overheard the cargo, we
'hould thereby have saved the ship.

The order operates hardest upon tho
railroads leading out of this city. Quite a
number of passengers came in on the
Michigan Central on Monday. Most Of
them took another route east, but some
had already purchased their tickets through
Canada, and went on, taking their risks of
getting through. The passenger business
OF the Michigan Central is cut off. Three
trains each way are taken of, viz The

These trains have been arranged as
nearly as possible for the. convenience of
people living along the line of the road.
The company cannot afford to run empty
trains, and the cutting off of the immense
through travel causes the hardship to fall
upon our own citizens. The trains will
make all the stops, and are run with re-
gard to the most desirable hours for mails
and papers 7s'''.1 MI. - ssa

universal opinion. q Everybody condemns
it and hope it may be rescinded without

MY AUTUMN WALK.

BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
On woodland ruddy with autumn
The amber sunshine lies;
look on the beauty round me,
And tears come into my eyes.
For the wind that sweeps the meadows
Blows out of the far Southwest,
Where our gallant men are fighting,
And the gallant dead are at rest.
The golden rod is leaning,
And the purple aster waves
In breeze from the land Of battles,
A breath from the land of graves.
Full fast the leaves are dropping
Before that wandering breath
As fast on the field of battle,
Our brethren fall in death.
Beautiful over nv path way
The forest spoils are shed;
They are spotting the grassy hillocks
With purple gore and red.
Beautiful is the death sleep
Of those who bravely fight
In their countrys holy quarrel,
And perish for the Right.
But who shall comfort the living.
The light of whose home is gone:
The bride that, early widowed,
Lives broken-hearted on;
The matron whose sons are lying ,
In graves on distant shore;
The maiden, whose promised husband
Comes back from the war no more,
| look on the peaceful dwellings
Whose windows glimmer in sight,
With croft aud garden and orchard
That bask in the mellow light;
And l know that. when our couriers
With news of victory come,
They will bring bitter message
Of hopeless grief to some.
Again L turn to the woodlands,
And shudder as see
The mock-grape's' blood-red banner
Hung out on the cedar tree;
And think of days of slaughter,
And the night s-sky red with flames,
On the ChattahoOchee's meadows,
And the wasted banks Of the James.
Oh. tor the fresh spring season,
When the groves are In their prime;
And far away in the future
Is the frosty autumn-time
Oh, for that better season,
When the pride of the foe shall yield,
And the hosts of God and Freedom
March back from the well-won field:
And the matrOn shall clasp her first born
With tears of JOY and pride;
And the SCARED and war-worn lover
Shall claim his promised bride!
The leaves are SWEPT from the branches
But the living buds are there,
With folded flower and foliage,
To sprOut in a kinder air.
