AEeNLfNas NEGROES.

The New York Tribune thinks it possible,
though hardly probable, that The Rebels
nave negro regiments already enlisted, and
that the angry discussion of the question is
only rUse II says:
.'The only doubt in the case is not wheth-
er the Rebels mean to raise negro force,
but whether they have not already raised
that force. 1t is shrGwdIy suggested that
this appearance Of debate and delay has no
other purpose than to cover the process OF
organization now actually going on. Tic
appointment Of Lee rs General in-chief when
he was known us an advocate of arming tie
negroes, showed that he was to have his
own way, and we havea report from source
that ought to be well informed that the Re
bels have been for weeks, if not for months,
busily engaged in drilling an army of ne
groes, and that at this moment they are
about ready to enter the field. 1t is assert
cd that they are to bare the hrunt of Sher-
mans advance, and that without evacuating
Richmond or even Petersburg, the Confeder-
acy, by the help OF this new negro army
will prove itself able to risk battle for the
possession OF North Carolina. We do not
vouch for the report. There are many pro-
liabilities against it. The Richmond papers
are too much in earnest to be counterieiting
| The reluctance to overturI the corner stone
of the Coniedcracy has becu too real. 1t is
but lately that the opposition seemed in tho
way Of being silcnccd. But the report itsel
! is another evidence that the fact is about tC
be accomplished.

WHO IyEGAN nj.

The rebels are now quarreling about who
begun the rebellion. But a little while
since and they were all proud of it; now
they begin to. grow ashamed of it, ard to
toss The responsibility from one to the Other.
The Richmond Enquirer of the 23d ult.,
saysi
"Virginia did not commence this war,
nor did Tennessee, Missouri or Kentucky
Its magnitude and losses were preceived by
those on whom the burnt of battlr would
fall. The states further south, protected by
those on the border, rcpeled advice, rejected
concert, and, with fancied security, cut the
fastening which bound us together, and Gust
Virginia and her children on the exposed
western frontier adrilt amid terrific and ini
creasing war, In vain. did thece States fore.
tell the future and protest against the un-
generous rashness Of those who expected by
the misfortune of Others, to escape the Gala
mites of civil strife. We told them that the
storm would indulge its fury on our soil,-
pictured to them devastated country, pill.
aged fields, burning towns, insurgent slaves,
and hired soldiery intumed to crime by
the smooth skin woman on tie ottoman and
the silver plate on the beard" Neither did
these just appeals, per the terrific fate which
was increasing and advancing, check the
selfish impetuosity of those who risked little
of disaster to be endured by Others We
were told we must follow our own people OF
be against them.
Upon this the Washington Chronicle re
| marks:
"We were aware that the cotton State:
were the first to move in the matter OF Sc
cession, but we had supposed that The In.
Quirer regarded that fact with the jealous,
of a Virginian who had in van urged hi
native State to take the initiative.
"The leadership in :he rebel '.nn was for
merry the glory of South Carolina, and tn,
envy of Virginia, but in the 'sere and yellow
leaf of the Contederacy, the glory is turned
into shame, and the Ian guage of praise i
turned into reproach. Nothing but con
scious failure could have produced this re
markable change il the estimate which i
| placed upon the act of secession"

ExtOriinG Prise from Enemies.

We may well open our eyes with worder
when we see such a journal as the London
Wustrated Nens-always heretofore unfriend-
ly to our cause annd very sarcastic and abu-
sive of our public men-sayilg at President
Lincoln that "The ludicroug talsencsss of
the popular estimate of this remarkable man
must by this time have became apparent to
all capable of reflection. No man could
have spoken more simply end nably over the
dead at Petersburg more firmly, and at the
same time wisely end moderately, on the
question of emancipation more tersely and
unanswerably than in rcbutting the charges
of illegal arrests, The same spirit prevades
all these utterannes-that of a magistrate
severely CONSCIOUS of his responsibilities, dis
interested, energetic, circumspect,'

LIEUTENANT CUsuINC'S PERFORMANCES
/ The most extraordinary and successful
feat of personal daring during the war, was
that of Lieut.. Cushing, in sinking the rebel
ram Albemarle with torpedo. The story
that he told of sinking the vessel, when he
made his way to our lines, was Incredible,
and no one believed it until the rebel ac-
counts confirmed it. Lieut. Cushing be-
came famous, and has seemed intent ever
since upon keeping up his reputation. The
| following is an extract Of Il letter, dated at
Fort Fisher, Feb IA, and published in the
! New York Tribune:
"The rising hero of the navy, Lieutenant
! Cushing, continues to astOnish the rebels,
! rs well as our own forces, Ivy his acts OF
| daring and skill. y few nights since, in his
light canoe he rOwed around and up q
creek leading from Falls Inlet to Il presum-
| ing little borough named Charlotte. This
! had been the general depot of supply for the
garrison at Fort Anderson. The dashing
Lieutenant entered the town late in the
cvening-callcd up the Mayor, summoned
! together the Common Council, and proposed
to give them by daylight his conditions OF
capture.
"IIc. ordered breakfast for himself and
staff officers to bc ready by / o'clock, which
was promised by the city godiathels, who
with the most cheerful alacrity had sur,
rendered the town under the supposiliOu
that Cushing had 4 900 or 5000 men at h,s
heels. He burned large warehouse filled
with rebel commisSary stores, loaded somC
eighty bales OF cotton on flats lying along
shore, had his carsmen float it down to til,
ocean waters, when the tiashing Lieutenant
with cotton prize money in his eye, formally
seized it for and in behalf of the brave tar
whom he had induced to accompany him.
SON Friday night he ruwcd up to Vii
mington, circumnayigated AL lis wharvcs
boats, &c, and then rowed back to his ship
passing all their forts and batteries entircl,
unobservcd. Again on Saturday night h
rowed up to the distractions across the rir
or in front of Fort Anderson, took dclib
crate and accurate survey of :he same, thei
location, and the plan of their construction
While skipping about upon the heads OF til
piles Gt being dead low water) he hear'
cheering and other dcciamatory exercise
going on within the tort.
Leaving his boat in the narrow spac
left for the passage of vessels, he quietly ap
preached the fort while the sentries' atter
ton was turned as was his, to an out-doo
speech being delivered by Bragg to tn
rebel garrison. Listening to his heart
content, he commenced his return, whc
his presence was discovered, and scveri
yolleys of musketry were fired mt him will
out effect, and after vanishing in the dark
ness, and the rebels, taking ii to be some II
connoissance from our infantry line on til
other side, opened fire upon our men, Il
stated above. Cushing returned safely t
to the ship, to receive again the congratula
. tions of his comrades"

DR.. Zenker, of Dresden, was one of the
most successful candidates for the prizes of
the French Academy of Sciences, His sub
ject was the dangerous parasite called the
7richiad Spirdtis, upon which he hud mace
important researches. This microscopic
worm, which lives coi!ed up in a eort of
cystus or pocket, was observed about 1885
by Nr. Richard Owen, in the flesh Of certain
animals. In 1850 Or. Hcrbst, of Qbttenseh,
found by experiment that the ttichina was
trnhsml5sible from bfe animal To another by
ingestion, and Dr,. Virchow and teuchatt
confined the fdct On the 18th Of JANUARY,
1860, young gifl wa, admitted Into the
hospital Of Dresden on tho suppositicn that
she wins laborlng unucr typhus fever, but
there wcfo some symptoms wanting TO con.
firm this opinion. The girl died on the eth,
md DR.. Zenkcr, on disecting her BODY,
found to mis- astonishment may thousands of
trichnn in q free state in the muscular It's.
sue. Their not being incysted was sure
sign that they were of recent importation
In the intestires he found vast quantity Of
adult trichiEp, male and female, and per
ceived the bodies of the latter filled Will
living embroyas similar to those existing il
the muscles. Thus DR.. Zenker, Cor the frs
time, proved that in the same person there
may exist adult trichinW in the intestine
and .heir larvae in the muscles; so that tn
latter could only have got there by piercin.
the intestine, either by direct migration o
by the blood and chyic. Upon inquiry h
found that the girl had eaten pork from
pig killed on the S1st of December, 1896
and that both the farmer and his wife,switl
whom she lived, had been attacked viii
similar symptoms, but had recovered. From
all these facts DIR. Zenker arrived at the con
clusion that there exists in man disorde
resulting from the immigration of trichin,
from the intestines to the muscles, and tina
this disorder becomes mortal when the in
migration is too considerable in consequenc
of the ingestion of large quantity of mea
tainted with the parasite, No sooner d
this discovery become known than il wa
confirmed by further observations through
out Europe. In Germany, especially in thos
places where raw pork is used, hundreds q
cases were discovered, even assuming tn
form of an epidemic, where trichinatcd por
had been sold.

A SOLEMN SCENE-llUsBAND AND WEE
DIE IN EACH OTHERS ARMs.-One day las:
week, says the EdSte1n State (Mass.) Journai,
the School-street Church was the scene of
sad funeral, that of Jos. S. Dctrces and wife,
of Balardville, who were found dead in
their bed, in that town, two or three morn
lngs since, in each others arms. They had
been sutioca.cd by coal gas, having had a
coal fire in the stove the previous evening,
and the damper being discovered shut
squarely of after the room Goor was forced.
Mr.. Detrces formerly lived in Boston. They
were married scarely year since. The de-
ceased lay in the position in which they
were found, nearly on their backs, his arm
extending under her neck, and his hand
under her shoulder, their faces slightly in
clining towards each other. Her cheeks
wore a slight tinge, almost like life, for she
was naturally OF good color, and their dark
hair seemed to rest but in sleep on the silken
pillow. 1t was n picture of coniugal
affection, saddened by the presence of death
The lady was clad in green silk, and her
husband in dark dress suit. The silver
plate bore an inscription showing that Mr.
Detrces was aged twcnty-seven years and
three months, and his wife, Mrs. Augusta
Defrees, twenty-six years and three months
