six Years, Changes in one Man.

Six years ago one of the leading men in the
United States Senate was James Green of
Missouri. Every observer Of passing events
in the polti cal history OF the country, will re-
member his signal triumph in bad cause,
during the debate on the Lecompton question.
He was the only man, who, by common con-
sent, got the upper hand of Douglas in that
memorable discussion, and but for him the
Southerners would have made poor show
Just then. There seemed to be a bright fu-
ture opening for him, but. like too many 9TH
ers similarly situated, he thought no man
could rise in the world of politics without
passing good deal of time in the bar-rooms
OF Washington. To-day, on Pennsylvania
avenue passed wretched looking mans
stupidity drunk, his face horribly disagured,
Ootn eyes blackened and swollen, his clothing
covered with mud and dirtEthe cynosure of
az eyes, and the laughing stock Of shoeblacks.

Lights and Shadows at Washington,

WASHINGTON, March 10, 1865.
TO the Hditorof the Press
Who could have believed that the soft, mild,
genial, beautiful yesterday, with its superb
sunset, would have changed into this bone
piercing, marrow-freezing, heart chilling to-
day, with its rain, hail, snow and freezing wind
from your section; curdling, aye, congealing
the milk of human kindness. Who will give
the soft answer that turneth away wrath,
when stopped on the weather corner OF a
street? If any, then indeed they are Chris
tians. Yesterday we thought of bright and
happy future; to-day we realize Dante's In
ferno. We could have given quarter to a reb-
ell yesterday; to-day with the zest of an Icon
oclast, we would quarter them.
The accounts received from the South have
brought us to that point where we pity our de-
luded fellow beings in Richmond. What "sad
tos" they are in I! no salvation left but to make
Lee Dictator, throw JEFF Davis to the dogs,
and put their trust in Lee and johnson. OF
what poor account to them now the Heaven
born institution of slavery sNot worth the
life of Stonewail jackson, or any other dead
patriot" And yet they dream of heaven, and
make their empty boasts of lions innumerable,
which are raging iu front of Sherman, and all
of his host not devoured are to rush Inadly
back to Charleston. Can it be that faith will
save themP Not without works.
Mr.. Harlan, the new Secretary OF the Int
rior, is man of large experience, sound judg-
ment, and peculiarly well adapted to the posi-
ton. The Secretaryship of Home Affairs has
vast scope; it is not pent up in Utica, but
from North to South, and ocean to ocean, it
holds sway-including the District of Colum-
bia. :.
The oath was administered to, and the Hon
A. j. Creswell took his seat as Senator from
Maryland; and right worthily has he won
that glorious position; for from the first in
ception of this rebellion has he labored for the
preservation Of the Union, as a member of
the Legislature, and as member of Congress
His voice has always been for the true inter-
est and greatness of his country.
The Senate will hardly finish its labors to-
day, but to morrow will close. Arkansas and
East Virginia have withdrawn their papers,
The Senate chairs should be filled, if not with
greybearcs, with men whom we can honor
and esteem.

RIn Quincy, Illinois, two men recently went
to law about calf which they both claimed.
Numerous witnesses testified on each side, and
the judge, finding his legal acumen quite at
fault, at last decided to place the calf on the
street, at an equal distance from the residence of
each claimant, and leave the animal to find the
way home and decide the case by his own in

PATHETIC APPEAL.--GoV. Vance has
made most touching appeal to North Caro-
hnians for food for Lees army. In conse-
quence Of recent Interruptions of railroad
communications the subsistence of Lees ar
Smy has become greatly jeopardized. He says
ior few months at least that army will have

ma alone. Gen. Lee himself has written 10

all depends upon the voluntary action of the
people of North Carolina"s He homes that
every thing they have to share in the sh,,o of
food will be Immediately sent to Lee. he con.
cludes his appeal in the following language.
"To show you, my fellow-citizens, the earn.

Such sentiments would be patriotic indeed,
If Lee and his army were fighting in just
cause, but as it is we think this anxious Gov
ernor would dobetter to give his family enough
to eat and advise Lee to disband his army and
send them home. &.

State Elections.

To-day New Hampshire, and on the first
Monday in April, Connecticut will hold their
elections for State Officers. The leaders OF
the Democratic party have placed it in 2 pc
sition hostile to the amendment Of inc Ooh-
stitution for the abolition Of slavery Inc
same ticket that was defeated in CONNECTICUT
last year. on an open anti-war platform has
again been nominated. BY force oil clrcnm-
tances. If not from instinct, the wire pullers O.
the Democracy, have placed their party in .
very unpopular position, and the loyal men OF
those States have accepted the issue ard will
90 boldly into the battle for freedom, while
their opponents have arrayed themselves on
the side of slavery. a r0
The issue has been made distinct and palpa-
BILE, and the people must see it and come 10
the polls with their eyes open. However re-
luctant the democratic wire-pullers may have
been to make such an issue, it has been forced
upon them for the very good reason that they
had no other ground to stand upon. They
may attempt to deceive tie people and pull
the wool over their eyes in a variety of forms,
but the great issue cannot be winked out OF
sight To this complexion they have come at
last. While Maryland and Missouri have re-
pudiated human bondage, and ratified the
Amendment to the Constitution; while X II
lucky is willing to give up her human chat
tells for price; while other slave states are
trembling before the force of public opinion
while the Confederate Congress and General
Lse are freeing and arming the slaves, it has
been reserved for the democracy of New jersey,
New Hampshire and Connecticut to place itself
in bitter hostility TO all those movements. and
go in for fighting the battles for slavery and for
fastening the accursed institution upon the
country. tE
To sober, thinking people, it may seem
strange that the leaders will still persist in at
tempting to perpetuate system which has
demoralized and well nigh ruined the once
proud and powerful democratic party. But
so It is. They are evidently afflicted with
that malady which usually precedes destruc-
ton. Time has been, and that not far distant,
when democrats protested their willingness to
abolish slavery if 1t could be done in consti-
tutional way. And now that way is opened
up before them; but, strange to say, they re-
fuse to walk in It'll 1t is to be hoped that the
people will not follow such blind, infatuated
leaders. The issue is as plain as tuvapike,
and we believe the people will see it. lsiss

oOuperhead Idea Of a Christian Gentleman

0Opperhead Idea of Christian Gentleman.
A paper before us, acopperhead journal Of
course, says Of the rebel spy and guerrilla, re-
Gently executed on GovernorsIsland, in New
York harbor:
Captain Beall was OF one, Of the wealthiest
and most respectable families of Virginia -
He was a graduate of the University of Vir-
glnia, and sc0s an accomplished Christian
gentleman; and it is not shown that he did
anything IN derogGtion of that character
he led an enterprise having in view the liber-
alton OF the Confederate prisoners on John
sons Island, an act clearly legitimate, accord
ing to the laws of war. 1t is true, he was ar
rested within our territory, which gave him
technically the character of spy; but the
fact that he was not within hundreds of miles
OF military operations shows that he was only
technically such, and that his case afforded a
fair field for the exercise of the equality OF
mercy" But the Aboitionists demand blood
and the better 1t is, the better it suits them
The official report of the trial of this Chris
tian gentleman, we have open upon our table,
and from it we derive the evidence,
1. ThatBeall was rebel officer,
2. That he was within our lines in disguise e,
and was therefore spy.
3. That he, with the help of other rebel
officers and soldiers, disguised as prioate cit.
liens, seized two American steamboats,, the
private property of American citizens: that
from one he stole money and then DESTROYED
the freight on board, and the other he scuttled
and sunk.
4. That he came from Canada to Buffalo, in
disguise, and attempted unsuccesstully to
throw railroad train from the track.
3. That he went back to Canada, again re-
turned, disguised, and repeated his infamous
attempt upon night train, filed with men,
women and children, and was caught while
attempting to escape back to Canada
These things were proved beyond reason
able doubt; indeed, Beall did not deny them,
but commended that his commission from JEFF
Davis authorized him to engage in such
christian" sports and advertisements. "Ths
abolitionists demanded blood" says the paper
quoted above. The "abolitionistsn who tried
and convicted Beall, were army officers, some
of them belonging to the regular and others
to the volunteer service, none of them of q
rank below that of Major. The officer who
approved their finding and ordered the execu
ton, was Gen. John A. Dix, a life long Demo
crat. InD>
The New York Ne.Us, a copperhead paper
of very religious temper, owned and edited b,
that distinguished christian gentleman,
Ben. Wood, labors to exculpate Beall from
blame in trying to throw night train from
the track, and to vindicate his motives, nnt
to show that lie should not be considered bar
barous, by asserting that he did the deed fol
the worthy purpose of rescuing any Confeder
ate prisoners who might happen to be OF
