Hope deferred makes the heart sick ;
and we converse with very few persons
who entertain any hope of speedy tcrmi-
nation of the war. The party in power
manifested so much eagcmess for the
bloody conflict in the beginning; it has
seemed to afford them SO much Joy in its
progress; they have SO studiously adopt
ed measures designed and admirably adapt
cd to protract it and have spurned 50
many opportunities to end it, that it is
not wonderful that the people shonld dis
trust them now, when they evince seem
ing willingness to make terms with the
Confederate Government, and thus stop
the eifusion of blood. For ourselves, we
continue to hope that peace is not far dis
tant but this expectation is based, not
upon the desire Of Lincoln, his Cabinet
or his Congress, that the war should
cease but upon the stress Of oircumstan
cos which neither he nor his counsellor
can control.

A Lesson for the Federas Gov
ernInent.

For the past three orr four years, the
Spaniards have been trying to enforce their
rule over the people Of San Domingo.
Finding it, however, a hard undertaking.,
a bill has been introduced into tho Span
ish Cortes, or Parliament, from which we
make the following extract. The Federal
authorities would do well to study and
profit by suggestions which arc quite as
applicable to our relations with the South,
as to those of Spain with the people Of
San Domirgo: ",Fhat it was a delusion
to believe that the Dominican people, as a
whole, or in the great majority, desired,
and above all, demanded their annexation
to Spain. That the struggle having be-
come general, it does not now bear the
character of measure taken to subject a
few discontented rebels, but Of war OF
conquest completely foreign to the spirit of
Spanish policy. That even by. concen-
trating our efforts and sacrifices in order to
obtain triumph, we should place our
selves in the sad position Of holding tue
island entirely by military occupation
full of difficulties, and not exempt from
dangerous complication. That even un-
der the most favorable hypothesis, that a
portion Of the population may show them
selves devoted to lis after victory, the gov
etnmental system that would have to be
established in those dominions must either
beolittle suitable to the usages and Gus.

Failing OF IN the PORK Product

We have heretofore noticed the immense
deficiencies in the grain product of the
last year of war and disaster, as compared
with former years Of peace and prosper
ous industry. We have now to note a
similar decline in the amount of pork pro-
duced during the season just ended. The
deficiency at Chicago alone, in the amount
packed, is forty millions three hundred
and two thousand seven hundred and fifty
four pounds Tho deficiency in lard is
nine millions eight hundred and eighty
thousand one hundred and nineteen pounds.
All this results from the withdrawal Of so
many agricultural laborers from the corn
field for the uses of the battlefield. How
long can the nation stand the continued
aud accelerated dimihution OF its resour-
ces ? This question Is more potent
peace-maker than either Blair or Single

The hidden Gradeur of our Country
Mexico ever TO be RepHblI Ic-Our re-
Iations with the MoFmOns-The great
Pacific RaiIroad-A lecture by Schuy-
Ter Coitax at the Academy of music.
Last evening the Academy Of Music, in
all save the two upper tiers was thronged
with highly intelligent and enthusiastic
audience Under the auspices of the Press
Club. Hon Schuyler CollaX, speaker OF the
House of Representatives, delivered his
great lecture, Across the Continent. His
eloquent treatment of his impressive sub
iect. his glow ing and impassioned deserip-
tions, his thrilling oratory, all made up an
ese8lble that defes description. The follow
ing abstract gives the points if not the spir
it of the discourse, which for two hours en-
HANGED the attention of all his audience.
Speaker Colfax was asintroduced by DIR. +.
w. 6. Greene, as one who, from the posi-
ton he now holds, is great leader for the
American people to day Rounds Of ap-
plause greeted the orator 5 appearance. He
spoke substantially as follows
He regretted very much that mistaken
telegraph dispatch, alluding to the lecture,
had mised many to suppose that he would
speak to them, among other subjects, OF the
duties of the coming Congress. He had
spoken at the Capital but few nights since
of what he conceived to be the duty of the
country in REGARD to the session Of Congress
about to assemble at Washington. He had
nothing to take back Of what he had said.
He regretted, furthermore, the announce
ment that had been made in the papers of a
great lecture to be delivered by him. 1t
was an unassuming attempt to bring before
them the scenes and Incidents in long jour
ney across the continent, which consumed
four or FIVE months, and was the most de-
lightful, instructive and invigorating journ-
ey of his life. They would find that instead
of its being great lecture, it was utterly
unadorned with gems of poesy and with the
flowers of rhetoric.
The Republic of the United States, our
own beloved land, imperiled, but, thank
God, preserved, spans the American conti-

GERMAN IMMIGRATION.

The Germans, says the Philadelphia
american, are coming with q food, and an
other and greater wave lies behind the fore
most, rolling in with equal power and use.
We have received 80 much from the Tetonic
home that we are anxious fermore, and viii
ling to see all of Tetonia depopulated, if on
ly our own acres are covered. The wish may
not, perhaps, run to this whole extent, as
We desire to continue onr friendly mercan-
tile and literary relations with the most ed
ucated, economical, and provident, as well
as self reliant race in the world; butt points
strongly in that direction, and asks for us
the whole overflow Of all Germany. We are
glad to see that the wish is being gratifed
Within the week past we met whole cargo
of German immigrants, at the foot of Dock
street, destined for the interior, and we know
that hundreds pass through unnoticed for
every one who IS seen
1t is stated that the facilities for emigra-
ton from Germany are now wholly made
quate to the demand and that hundreds
and thousands there are anxiously seeking
removal who find no means for it. Two new
steamers are building for the Bremen Lloyd's
Line to New York at Glasgow, which viii
make seven large steam vessels in this line,
and the Hamburg Company will hereafter
run their ships weekly. From these facts it
would seem that the German business-im-
migration as well as commerce soon
acquire greater force than ever. IF the
volume continues, the labor question is en-
ded. The German irruption will swell over
the South and West like freshet, and the
influence viii speedily settle all difficult
questions there 1t viii, at all events, add
much to our prosperity, and help the future
towards realizing those ends which are
almost in view.

INFLUENCE OF FEMALES,

1t Is better for you to pass an evening,
once, or twice week, in a lady's drawing
room, even though the conversation is slow,
and you know the girl S songs by heart, than
in club, tavern, or the pit of theatre
All amusements Of youth to which yirtu-
ons women are not admitted. rely on it, are
dcleterious in their nature. The men who
avoid female society have dull perceptions
and are stupid, or have gross tastes, and re-
volt against what is pure. Your club swag-
gerers who are sucking the butts of billiard
cues all night, call female society insipid
Poetry is uninspiring to yokel; beauty has
nc charms for a blind nan; music does not
know one tune from another; but, as true
epicure is hardly ever tired of water sauce,
and brown bread and butter, protest can
sit for whole night talking to a well-regu-
lated kindly woman about her girl Fanny,
or her boy Frank, and ike the evening en-
tertainment One of the great benefits a
man may derive from woman's society is,
that he is bound to be respectful to her. The
habit is of great good to your moral men,
depend upon it. Our education makes us
the most eminently selfish men in the world
We fight for ourselves, we push for ourselves
we yawn for ourselves, we light our pipes
and say we won t 80 out, we prefer ourselves
and. our ease; and the greatest benefit that
comes to man from a woman society is,
that he has to think of somebody to whom
he IS bound to he constantly attentive and
respectful.

JOHN ADAMS CoURTsHIP.

A. /. correspondent of the Boston Trans
cript gives the following interesting remin-
iscenee
John Adams sought the hand of the
daughter of Rev Mr.. Smith, of Weymouth
and Miss Abigail was pleased to accept the
proposal Of Mr.. Adams, much to the cha
grin of the parson, the objection being that
Adams was man Of humble origin and
moderate ability, and could never aspire to
anything more than the position of an hum
BILE village lawyer His visits to her home
were frequent and prolonged, but no hospi-
talities were rendered by the Rev. Smith,
either to Adams or his nag; for while Abb
gal only had watchful care over him, his
Ebay passed the weary hours of night IN
feeding ON the hitching-post
Now, Abigail had sister whose name
was Mary, who was betrothed to a wealth.
er, aud it was believed more promising
young man, whose presence was welcomed
most cordially by the reverend family.
The good parson had promised each OF
his daughters that on the occasion OF their
marriage he would preach sermon from
text of the bl,de's own selection. Mary
first married, and beautifully appropriate
did the father think the text And Mary
hath chosen that good part r. In due time
Abigail married and chose for her text, For
''For John came neither eating nor drinking
and they say, He hath devil. Tradition
does not tell us, as we remember, how the
text pleased the father, but the sermon was
preached Mary, indeed, chose good
part; her life was a happy one, and her hus-
band was man Of means and respectablllty
Abigail was woman of strong affections,
a practical wife and possessed of great no
bility Of character, while the names of her
husband and son will live as long as the love
of liberty inspires the soul of man.

LITTLE CHILDREN.

Words of inspiration tell us that the an
gels are minister ng spirits, and to the
Christian this truth is peculiarly dear, But
these are unseen ministers; we feel their
presence, we do not see them, and while it
is a delicious thought to know that the loved
are near US, it has no doubt been the means
Of reclaiming many a wanderer, or at least
restraining him from the depths of evil he
might otherwise have reached, to feel that
a mother spirit was lowering near, cogni-
zant of all that he might do or say; and Of
ten the grief of those mourning for dear ones
gone before is lessened by the thought that
they are still watching over and guarding
their earthly friends.
We have other ministering angels than
these,-the dear little children that cluster
around our hearthstones, and entwine them
selves around our hearts. Christ said
Except We become as little children, be-
cause He knew that no where on earth could
be found that purity of thought and beauti-
full faith so heavenly in their nature, save in
the heart of a little child Wise and great
men may argue, contend, and dispute to con-
vince each other of some great truth; but
who can Withstand the endearing influence
and winning ways of a sweet, little child?
The dew Of morning most refreshes the
summer blossoms; so the sweet, touching
confidence and sublime simplicity of child
hood keep fresh the flowers ofaffection, and
prevent the heart from becoming cold and
unfee.ing. God bless little children we Of.
ten say as we go up and down the streets;
may THEN hearts never grow hard, rough,
and selfish. In whatever cireumstancesthey
are placed, keep them pure and holy. A
sad, sad thing for the crown to slip from the
little, golden haired head, the sweet, blue
eyes to mirror forth soul all sin and dark
ness; the voice so soft and musical, SO full
of love, as the little, dimpled arms clasp our
neck-husky with passion, disgusting in Ian
guage, and foul with imprecation. Revolt
ing picturel We cannot bear to think OF it.
And still, dear mother, this will be the case
unless you take careful heed. When you
fold your babe to your bosom, do you think
as much of its disposition and temper as of
the little, embroidered dress it wears? When
you carry it to the font, are you as earnestly
craving His Spirit upon it as you are eager
chat the baptismal robe should be of dainty
costly material? The careful gardener
prunes, lops off, and traines his vines Do
you train yours in the way that leadeth to
eternal life? 1t is sacred thing to be a
mother 1t is the highest Office that mortal
can attain to, and fearful in the result ifthere
is the least misstep or Waywardness.
