DYING sPAsMsI

There is wailing and gnashisg of
teeth at Richmond Never has the
inglorious doom Of che Rebellion been
SO apparent as now. We see the be-
giuRiug of tho end" though the end
itself may yet be somewhat remote.
A monster so huge, so powerful, so
animated with tho spirit of diabolism.
must require q considerable time to
die, even after theprocess has actually
begun. But things have arrived at a
pointwhere Il is plain to be seen that
die it must. All doubt as to the fact
may bo threwn away. Die the infer
nal monster must, in spite of all the
E.ast effort it has made, and the ocean
ofblood it has shed and caused to be
shed-in spite of h, activity, hate
and venom against thclcgitimate gov
ernment Of the Nation-in spite of its
past successes and present frantic de-
tormination-in spite of European
encouragement and ,Copperhead sym
pathy, now as vigorous as ever in our
midst-in spite Of the help ofthe devil
and all bis imps, the Rebellion must
yield up its accursed life. Behold the
spasms which begin to mark its death
agonies! This, from the Richmond
SontinoI, believed TO have been written
by Jeff Davis himself
".Our late reverses havo done much
toward preparing our people for cx'
IRENE sacrifices to escape being subju'
gated. The question is simply whether
we shall give for our own use, OF
whether the Yankees shall take fol
theirs. If Providence condemns US tc
master, let it not be Yankee. OF
all the people on the earth VIC have
most reason to loathe and dread them
Any terms with any other wonId be
preferable to subjugation by them. i
craftsmanship cannot save us, it car
palllate our misery by saving us from
tho Yankees, Our people would in
fnitely prefer n favorable alliance
with European nations"
To which the Richmond Enquirer
rosponds:
"T France and England wiU snte
into treaty with these Confcdcrnt
States, recognizing our nationality, am
guaranteeing our independence, upoI
tie abolition of Slarery in all theS
States, rather than continue the WdI
pe should be prepared to urge tn
measure upon our readers"
Too late, Mossrs Rebels Franc
and England will now help kick yo,
to the bottom of the hill, Or at lcas
look upon tho performance with tn
utmost complacency. They will pa
Unclo Sam on the back, and bid hir
lay on give it TO the undutiful, re
bollous cub whale him till he como
} back to his place, and tohis allagi
anco. And why? Because Franc
and England now see that America

but to mako it dangerous for outsider

The New York Times says:
Mrs. Seward had been sinking from the
moment that hor intense anxiety for tho safety
Of her husband and son was relieved. Up to
the time that hope, in both cases, came, she
was wonderfully sustained. II seemed that,
inhrm and feeble as she had been for years,
while those she loved so devotingly were In
danger, disease had no power over tho wife
and mother. But whom the strain was OH,
her over. taxed powers, mental and physical,
gave way.
Mrs. Seward has boen q sufferer many
years, bearing her illness, sometimes with
ohOerfulness- with Christian rosigna-
tion-and ever diligent and watchful In the
discharge Of every duty, especially in the
mental and moral training Of hor children, in
which her great happiness consisted. As n
wife and mother she was ominently coun.
sellor and teacher. Her rule was supreme
but II was n supremacy In which wisdom
and affection were so happily blended that
all rejoiced to recognise her sccptre
Mrs. Seward was tho daughter Il the lat'
Judge Elijah II. Miller, Of Auburn. She wa
gifted in person and manners, and TO thes'
attractions was added thorough education
For tho first twelve or fifteen years OF he
married life she Was tho charm OF the cult
waited and refined associations in which sh'
moVedi but nearly twenty 9enS "kV ho
| health failed, and since that period shO ha
withdrawn from society devoting her time /,
her family and the fow friends whom she ha'
early learned TO value.
The attempted assassination Of the secre
tary and Assistant Secretary Of State, u !
hardly necessary to say, has whatever thei
fate may be, caused this death. Those onl
who know, as We know, not only how devo
tsdly she loved them, but how worthy the
are Of such affection, can judge Of the inten
sity Of her anxiety and suffering. The da
but one after that hendish attempt by whie
both lives were suspended by thread sh
said to the writer, at seems as had tw
hearts, one throbbing for Henry and tn
other for Frederick.
Mrs. Seward was, in the highest sense, tn
companion, counsellor, and friend to whor
her hush and turned, and upon whom he rs
lied on all occasions. Between them ther
was perfect trust. They shared each other
hopes and fears, joys and sorrows, Thei
household was one Of uniform and undisturbo
peace and purity.
