The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1865-02-09

We have waited for some time to see a
denial Of the report that Mr. G. T. La
mar, Of Savannah, had taken the oath Of
allegiance Instead of its being denied,
however, it 10 confirmed Mr.. Lamar
lTas not only taken the oath, but finds il
very easy and agreeable to take. All hc
has 10 do is to shut his eyes, pen his
mouth, and old Father Lnglegs, at
Washington, slips down in jiiiy.. With a
little decoction of cotton seed to take out
the taste, Lamar finds it not f,bad thing
to take, after ALL In fact, he seems to
like it; he smacl<s his lips and advises
ono ef his friends TO Try il. The vencra
bic fox, having parted with his caudal
appendagc, is now pcramhulatins the
ramparts Of Savannah, exhibiting a cut
of the latest fashion to the outside be,
holders. lie invites them to follow his
example. 1t is believed that Sherman
will now dispense with the landward
guns on The Notifications Of Savannah,
and, instead thereof, display the butt-cnd
of Lamar to the admiration and imitation
of Georgia

piece of plain talk. But we say not
that We have Il rustic coniidingncss in
The gcnus.homo which renders Us rcluc-
taut to identify it with the genus h,m-
bug. We lecl inclined especially to put
our trust in princes and politicians, III
men Of large property and great prctcn
&ions. Your "solid men" of course,
cannot he hollow 1t dstrcSscs us that
this Lamar should disturb our rustic
faith and childlke simplicity. Why, he
is the man, is he not who tried to re-
yive the Slave Trade, who was among
thc first suffers Of the nymph, Scccssia,
and took her to wife for better, for
worsc, swearing, With all my worldly

II Is evident that Tccumsch Sherman,
in addition to Iii. nther Accomplishments,
is no mean professor IN the 50 called
science of animal magnetism. lie pro-
ceeds to Savannah, makes a few passes
at his subjects, puts them en- rapport
forthwith, 50 that they see what he sees,
taste what he tastes, and even think
what he thinks. He inauipulates this
Lamar, and makes him think that old
woman, whose daughter he persuaded to
clope, is charming young virgin; that
the blood upon the wriDkled face of the
hag is the bloom of the rose, that the
striped bunting of tyranny is gorgeous
bridal dress, glittcring all over with real
diamonds. He puts into his mouth a
bitter, nauseaGng oath, enough to turn
the stomach of swine, and Lamar vows
it is nectar, and invites his friends to
step up and take drink. And all this
is affected by metallic attraction. Shcr-
man only puts little piece of gold in
the subjects hand, and directs him to
look fixedly at it, without permitting
his attention to be distracted by any
thing else. 1t is an infallible process,
and anybody who submits to it is bound
TO dream dreams and see visions.
But when Mr.. Lamar awakes from his
sumber he will make some discoveries
which will not much promote his peace
