Which One Lies.

Just now, at the close of the rebellion,
when the conspirators are soundly thresh-
ed, and the integrity of the Government
triumphantly sustained, Cotter, in the
p Milford Herald, winds up a long answer
to the question-"Who done it" as fol
lows:
"The South the cause of the rebellion?
Out upon you! You knave or idiot !"
At the commencement of the rebellion
in congratulatory speech before the Sc,
cession Convention of South Carolina,
and just after the passage of the ordi-
nance which was 30 take that Hotspur
State out of the Union, Robert Banrwell
Rhett spoke as follows:
al thank God that the labor of thirty
FIVE years has eliminated In this success.
For thirty-hve years we have worked ear
" and late to cast off the yoke of this ac-
cursed Union, which has bowed us to the
ground; and thank God for this relief.
Come war; come pestiience come famine;
come even death itself rather than return
TO the old order of things"
While the genius Of Cotter was busy
in getting up his patent Democracy. the
genius Of Rhett was employed in hatch.
ing rebellion.
La the course of h;s answer to the oues.
ton Cotter argues that interference with
slavery was the cause of the rebellion.
JET. Davis, Rhett, Toombs, Benjamin,
est al on'ses genus, have time and time a.
gain declared that if slavery had any part
at all in the rebellion it was only an ac-
cidental part, and by no means material
Now there is'a big lie mixed up here
who teiss 1t The man Cotter, who does
not know, CT the men Rhett, Davis
Seornbs and Benjamin who do know!

the question.

QUESTIONS.

And our land enjoy sweet peace!

Of "Might and Right" which still are ours,
Will willy Nap-of hoodwinked France.

Will oil stock remain at par!
Or, will some freak of future mar
The greaseful projects of the many,
Counting largely, on the golden penny,
Questions somewhat important those

Ayre's Ague Cure.
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF

Intermittent Ferer, or Fever and Agne,
Remittcnt FeUer, Chill Fecer, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Ferers, indeed
for the achole class Of diseases origins
ting IN hillary arrangement, caused by
the Malaria o nsiasmatic countries.
Fever and Ague is not the only conse-
quence of the miasmetc poison. A prea,
variety of disorders arise from its irritation.
in malarlous districts, among which are Men.
ralgla, Rheuma tism, Gout. Headache, Blind
ness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma.
Palpitation, Painful Affection of the Spine.
Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie, Para.
lysis, and Derangement of the Stomach, all
of which, when originating in this cause put
on the intermittent type, or become periodi-
cal. This ''Cure" expels the poison from
the blood, and thus cures them all alike. II
is not only the most effectual remedy ever
discovered for this class of complaints, but
it is the cheapest ard moreover is perfectly
safe No harm can arise from its use, and
the patient when cured is left a. healthy as
if he had never had the disease Can this
be said of any other cure for Chills and Fe
yer? 1t is true of this, and its importance
to those afflicted with the complaint cannet
be over estimated. So sure is it 20 cure the
Fever and Ague, that it may be truthfully
said TO be certain remedy. One Dealer
complains that it is not good medicine to
sell, because one bottle cures whole neigh.

The Death of President Lincoln in Europe.

The reception of the news of the assas
sination of President Lincoln caused SEN
sation but little less profound in Europe
than its announcement caused among the
people in this country. All classes were
shocked by it; and the Press, without re-
gard to political shade, received it with
unsparing denuuciation of the assassin,
and his aiders and abetters, and the warm
est words of coincidence to a suffering ma
tion furnished by the language of sympa-
thy. Though, previous to his death, but
few were willing to accord to Abraham
Lincoln true greatness Of capacity and
character, the exception is yet to be found
which does not now, in his death accord
him that need ofjustice. Among States
men Earl Russell and Lord Palmerston
of England, and men of like standing in
France, Italy, Germany, &C., &C., are a.
mong the first and most earnest to do him
reverence and among the Press the
London Times, which has never loved the
North, is most vehement. Indeed there
is neither Statesman nor Editor through
out Europe, no matter through what chan
nel his love courscd during the continu
ance of the Rebellion, who does not agree
with the Times in saying, that-"noth-
ing in political history can be remember
ed that has ever drawn forth more u
unanimous feeling than this news" The
reason for this is obvious. Abraham
Iincoln's mission on earth is ended and
his good work all accomplished. Living,
to have sang his praises would have been
as the throwing of check before the car
of political combination. Even for NOR
al right and pure, simple justice Europe
an politicians could not be brought to do
this Dead, he was no longer in the way,
aud they could all see, with the London
Telegraph, that-"From vulgar compe-
;ition, from factious hatred, from meanest
iealousies and uncharitablencss, tbs great
ruler was wholly free"-and they could
with one voice join in honest, candid, ex-
preston of sympathy with US in our ma
tional bereavement, and of justice to the
memory of the deceased.
As indexes TO the feeling abroad, we
may mention that on the receipt of the
news in England an address to the Queen
was Immediately moved in both Houses
of Parliament, and the flags of the ship
ping in English ports displayed at half
mast. In France similar demonstrations
of sorrow were made. In Italy the Le-
gislative chambers were ordered to be
draped in mourning and the Legislative
body adjourned. Everywhere, in short,
as it arrives, the news is received with
tokens Of mourning such as were never
before bestowed on the death of mortal
man. And the reason is obvious, for
take him for all in all, the world has
looked upon but few men having in them
elements of true greatness to so great a
degree as Abraham Lincoln.

Dick Turner, the noted turnkey of
Libby Prison is securely locked up in
the most dismal, subterranean dun
geon of that place of torture There
is no pity felt for him in Richmond. A
correspondent who saw the cruel-hearted
man describes him pale as leprosy, his
beard whitening, his deficient teeth ajar
and his eyes full Of terror. He is now as
mean and cringing in his behavior as, in
power, he was insolent and cruel. When
turnkey, he shot man dead with re-
volver, who came to the windows for air
and light, kicked and knocked down 9th
ers, and took delight in augmenting the
untold miseries of the poor prisoners un-
der his charge. He has heard, in his
loathsome, cell, that the soldiers have
decreed his death so soon as they are
fully assured of his identity, and his
pleadings for mercy are presented to all
who come near him but he pleads, to
hearts of stone.

Taking Halleck's Oath in Richmond

Most of prominent officials and citizens
of Richmond have taken the oath of al.
legiance to the United States governments
and there is very general disposition
among the mass of citizens to follow their
example. Among those who have subs
cribed to the oath are Joseph Mayo,
mayor of Richmond Judge William II
Lyons, judge of the Hastings Court; Lit
tleton Tazewell, prosecuting attorney in
the same court; James Kaskic, recorder
Thomas U. Dudley, city sergeant; Judge
Meredith, of the Circuit Court of Rich
mond P. H. Aylett, late prosecuting
attorney of the Confederate States District
Court Joseph r. Anderson, proprietor
of the Tredegar Iron Works; William
II. Macfarland, president of the Farmers
Bank and others less prominent. Physi-
clans, lawyers, and professional men
generally, with some few exceptions, have
taken the oath and resumed the practice
of their professions. We have no data
upon which to calculate the number of
oaths administered, but the aggregate en-
braces large percentage of the male resi-
dent population.-[Richmond Whig.]
