1T is related of an Irish Lord-Lieutenant,
whose immediate predecessors had been super
seeded in rapid succession. and whose subjects

Rumor by assiduously planting the vicinage
of the Vice. Regal residence with trees that
would not become of any service or value for
several years-the inference, readily drawn by
all who approached the Castle being that his
Lordship meant to stay good while, and had
no doubt that he would be required TO do so.
If the Rebels should now enter upon the organ
iraton of negro regiments, with intent to make
them seryiceable two or three years hence, the
finesse would be considerably more threadbare
than that of the Lieutenant.

They will never DO It! They have no faith
in their own nostrum. They know perfectly
that every negro in the South is at heart for the
Union, and will fight, if at all, for the complete
not partial, emancipation Of his race. Between
the side that prcfien freedom at once and tfce'
dom for all, and that which proposes to grant
freedom several years hence TO favored OF
daring few, the slaves will not hesitate. They
will look for emancipation TO those VINO
devised it-who believe it just, necessary, be-
ne6cent. rather than to those who still love and
defend Slavery and only submit tn partial eman'
cination as a dire, deplored necessity. Suppose
