ALARMING PICTURE. Tho Chicago Tri-
bune gives the following truly alarming
picture Of the prevalence Of RIGHTEOUSNESS
and crime in that city. Boston, New
York and Philadelphia are represented to
be in as bad condition as Chicago, and
Washington even worse
"Not train arrives in Chicago that is not
freighted with the prostitutes Of other cities
and their attendant cavaliers, rougbs, pimps
and villains of every degree. The painted har-
lot walks our streets unblushingly, and elbows
her way into the railway cars, sitting upon the
same seat and talking ,familiarIy with those,
who, If they knew her character, would regard
speech and touch as moral and physical con-
tamination; citizens visit their houses because
they know they run no risk of detection :;
young men and boys are sowing the seed of
moral and physical disease, which will one day
ripen in rich harvest of crime and death iu-
nOcenL girls are seduced the sanctity Of the
family circle invaded; houses OF ill-repute and
OF designation spring up all over the CITY, and
the men whose sworn duty it is to suppress
vice and immortality, have taken wicked men
and women into their confidence, and in the
abundance Their evil designs have accorded
10 crime the same protection they extended to
virtue"
This is one Of the legitimate and newt
able consequences Of war. But, By all
means, let the Fighting go on, and vice
and crime, and poverty and woe, con-
tinus to multiply. Are we not freeing
the negroes? Are we not grinding the
South to powder? To what higher mis-.
sion could nation aspire? Never mind
what becomes of the "sanctity Of the iam-
lily circle; let "young men and boys
young women and girls-go on "sowing
the seed of moral and physical disease
while Abolitionism holds high carnival
over the land-has not Abraham Lincoln
have not Abolition orators--have not
Christian ministers--have not the saintcd
Beecher and the immaculate Bellows
sworn that the wal, ans consequences,
shall never cease until 1.-The letters shall
fall from the limbs Of the last slave in the
United States"H or little consequence to
these pious reformers and pharisaic phi
lanthropsts is the moral leprosy fasten-
ing itself upon the nation the frightful
increase Of crime and prostitution the
penury, the sorrow, the suffering and
/ death the war is causing. The South
must be crushed, the negroes emancipat.
ed, at any and every sacrifice.

about two hundred y ears since it was dtst
obtained by chemist Of HambuFg, named
Brand. So wonderful vas the discovery
then considered, that Kratt, an eminent
philosopher Of the day, gave. Brand three
hundred dollars for the secret Of Its prePa-
ration. Kraft then Travelled, and visited
nearly oil the courts of Europe, exhibiting
phosphorus to kings and mobiles. In ap.
pearance, phosphorus resembles beeswax;
but it is more transparent, approaching
the color Of amber. It's name, which is
derived from the Greek, signifies "light
bearer" and is indicative Of the most dis!
ltinguishing quality, being selfluminous.
phosphorus, when exposed to the air.
shines like star, giving out o beautiful
lambent, greenish light. Although so
cold that it may be handled and closely
examined, yet it appears as though it
were burning, and a luminous smoke
arises from it at the same time. If shall
piece of phosphorus be fixed in a quill
and used as pencil, any device drawn
with it on cloth or paper will be lomin.

like an ignis fatuus. Phosphorus dis

The origin of phosphorus is the most
remarkable thing concerning it. Every

Iquainted can be traced to earth or air:
but phosphorus seems to be Of animal or
sigin. OF all animals, man contains the
most; and of the various parts Of the
body, the brain yields more phosphorus
by analysis than any other. This fact is
Of no little moment. Every thought has,
/ perhaps, q phosphoric origin. It is GER
Etain that the most intellectual beings con-
tain the most phosphorus. The history
4 Of phosphorus furnishes an instance Of
the fact that When n singular discovery is
made, years usually elapse before it is ap-
piled TO the promotion Of the welfare and
happiness OF man. It was only the other
day that phosphorus sold for five shil.

office does it fill How grateful are we
even for a phosphoric lucifcr match that
kindle the cheerful fire on our domestic
hearths! For commercial purposes, match

burning bones. The demand for it is now
SO great that many tons are actually pre-
pared; when Kraft Travelled to exhibit its

PHARo7H AND JEFF. DAvIs.-Mr. Coz
made the following admirable point in th'
debate on the GUendment tO t49e CS7cA

II, then, as it is said by the gentleman
from Vermont, [Mr. MOrril, slavery il
dead, what is the object Of this amend
ment /? That distinguished gentleman
told US the other day that Gbe Pharoah
and his hosts, the South had rushed with
slavery into the Red sea Of war, and thai
slavery was destroyed.
Well, if that be the case, il slavery is
dead. where is the necessity for invoking
this extraordinary power Of amendment
Ny friend from New York, Mr.. Odcll,
who also spoke so well IN defence Of his
views, said that although it was dead he
wished to give it constitutional burial.
II am not much Of biblical scholar, but
believe we have no authentic record Of
the fact that after Pharoah and his hosts
were destroyed in the Red sen the childsen
|of Israel, after The destruction, met to
|gcthcr upon its shores in grand conS94a.
|ton, and after listening to Aaron and the

what like this amendment, to wit:
Resolved. That neither Pharoah nor
his hosts, except as a punishment for
crime, whereof they shall have been duly
convicted, shall hereafter exist within the
jurisdiction of the children of Israel
Laughtcr.l =
What would the people have thought
|of the children of Israel for passing such
IA resolution after the decease of Pharoah?
My friend belongs to the new dispense.

been thought of the children of Israel, af-
ter they had fished out Pharoah's dead
body, if they had proceeded solemnly to
give it constitutional burialP Laugh:
