Yankee Chivalry.

There is no doubt that at least In Yankee
dom--a dozen Bluebellies are, at any time,
In rough-and-tumble, equal TO one
Frenchman. A case in point is given by
the Boston Post.
On Monday last about O'Clock, Prof. B.
Mclchior, of Montpelier, VT, who, Il ap-
pears, has been teaching music In that city
for some time, was taken by a mob from
his lodging room and violently escorted 10
the railway station and ordered to leave
the city Immediately, upon penalty of be-
ing shot IL he returned. The pretense as
signed for such dastardly outrage was TO
extort from him-the music teacher-a
written contract of marriage made secretly,
some time since, between himself and a
wealthy young lady of that place, whose
name we Withhold for prudential reasons.
Those who took prominent part In this
high handed transaction had been bafIled
In their efforts to get possession of the
document, for the purpose of breaking up
the intened union. Prof Melchior was not
permitted to remain In the place long
enough to collect his dues, nor TO visit his
Intended wife nor her parent. The mar
rlage was to have taken place the next day.
The gentleman who was thus unceremoni-
ously hustled out of town, had, II appears,
succeeded In wooing the heart and hand of
a respectable young lady, one who had re-
tccted the offers of a number of the CAV
lovers of Montpelier; and it coming to pass
that the prize was about to fall to for
eigner the discarded lovers clandestinely
agreed upon plan to get rid of tho French-
man who had thus won the affections of
Yankee girl.
One of the principal actors in this out
rage was fellow who was a cotton thief
with BEN. BUTLER. That's the sauce of the
whole dish.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. II, 1865.
Our PEACE PROSPECTS,

Any antcipations which we may have
entertained OF an adjustment Of our
national difficulties by peaceful measures
have been dissolved by the late official
dispatches, which inform US that although
the North through President Lincoln, has
made proposals Of a character broad
enough. not only to satisfy the people Of
the South Of the protection of their every
materia! interest by the General Govern
ment to degree even greater than is
guaranteed to them under the present
Constituticn-but even to crafty any feel
ing Of pride they might entertain in a
compromise upon terms short of recogni.
tion. Notwithstanding these concessions,
coupled with the additional assurance that
all the late legislation which the South
might regard as in any manner antagonis,
teal to their interest should be repealed,
those infatuated people are still obstin.
ately persistent in refusing to listen to
any terms for a compromise, which has
not for its basis a recognition of the Con.
federate States as an independent Sover

missouers in this negotiation, so different
from what we were lead to believe it would
be by the Administration press through.
out the land, that the people OF the North
have been woe!uly deceived as to the true
feeling Of The South with regard to recon.
ST. uction. This press for tho last six
months Las teencd with assurances, that
an occasion was only wanting, and when
furnished would be eagerly seized by the
Confederate Government to make itself
once more part and parce! OF the United
States. How true were these statements
the result Of the late meeting of Peace
Commissioners has fully demonstrated.

TIE VERY AMEND
Nj = at.

The Congress of the United States
has completed its action upon the amend
ment to the federal Constitution abol
ishing and prohibiting slavery in the Uuit.
ed States. 1t passed both Houses by
the required two thirds vote, and to that
extent has been adopted The next step
to give validity to the amendment is its
ratification by the legislatures OF three
tourths of the States Of the Union, and
this is, after an examination of the list,
hardly possible at this time. The ra,iii.
cation, however, may take placc~at any
time, one, Or five, Or ten years hence -
Until! it is ratified by three fourth, of the
States i. has no vitality. The discussion
of the question is therefore adjourned from
Congress to the States. The present mum.
Der Of States of the Union is thirty five
excluding from that number the bogus
State Of West Virginia. OF these States
the following will probably ra'ify tne
amendment Immediately. The six New

qure the approval Of twenty.seyen States
10 rait,y the amendment. Adding New
Jersey and Delaware 10 those which may
be regarded as certainly in its favor aud
the number will oaly be twenty three. If
West Virginia be counted as a State, it
VIII make twenty four, leaving but three
more to furnish the reqoived vote Efforts
have been made 10 admit Colorado as a
State, but they have been unsuccessful !;
and even If admitted 1t would not aid in
the adoption Of the amendment, because
n,
her admission would increase the whole
number and make it necessary to Lave
twenty eight to ra!ify. The amendment.
to be ratified must depend OF The old
States Kentucky at this time will pro-
badly reject the amendment but Ken
fucky year or two hence may &C. differ.
emily. and Kentucky is, in February, 1865,
less hostile to emancipation than were
Missouri aud Maryland two years ago We
have no doubt that when the issue is
brought directly before them on this
amendment at the next election, that a
legislature will be chosen that will ratify
it. But Kentucky will not be sufficient :;
other States will be needed Excluding
West Virginia, which is about as much q

The West Union Record in,imates that
there are more women than men in this
State. A mistake, sir. The census Of
1860 shows that the number of males then
in the State was 1853, opt, and the number
of females 3l9,9l7. The war has not
materially changed these figures. 1t is a
significant fact, that while the excess Of
males in Iowa is 34,0lO, the excess of
females in Massachusetts is So go 1t is
probably true, therefore. as remarked by
the Chicago Journal, that female emigra'
ton to the West is humane enterprise
for all New England States to adopt. and
its contamination would save something
like three hundred thousand vir.uous
young women from dying old maids, and
add to the next generation reinforce.
