-Four years ago the spirit Of prophecy
fell upon every spouter. blow-hard and
ink-slinser south Of Mason and Dixons
line: and. like the orscles Of Delpho',
when pTophesyins for Alexander all
their predictions, foretnld stupendoua
things for the Confederacy. JEFF. and his
host of ,eers took the very rag of Pro.
fessor Cohen and Madam Soho, and all
the asuolosic baad who advertise to
explain the past, predict the future and
give reliable information on al matters Of
law, matIimony and businsss." JED.
consulted the "ssvSn starr" on the rebel
banner. and foretold that "the war would
be conducted on Northern soil. and the
rich cities Of the North were to afford q
rich and sumptuous harvest to the sword
and torch" Peter Toutant Of Beauregard
named an hour when he should "water
his horse in the Potomac or He'll" The
last we heard Of that horse he was pulling
in stage team on the Dutch Flat route
w,gfall was to "enter Washington in the
saddle" Neither he nor his saddle have
ornsmented Pennsylvania Avenue up to
the latest accounts BY telegraph. We
prophecy that if he ever straddles anything
north of Mason and Dixon's line, it will
be q fenee.rail. Toombs was going to
winter in Philadelphia, three years ago,
and "call the roll Of his slaves At the foot
Of Bunker Hill Monument" Most of the
nisSers are there and have been waiting
a long time for roll-call, but Massa
Bob don't seem to come along. Such
blunders a. these are inexcusAble, and
cast more obloquy on rebel astrology than
those Of Jonah and jeremiah do on the
Old Testament. The civilized world will
imbibe a disgust for all fortune-tellers,
and Madam Soho will have to open
boarding house or take in washing. The
earlier prophets Of the rebellion took in
their signs some time ago; but in the
trans. Mississippi Department there is still
{ cave of Delphos. and the yelled oracle
who chaunts prophecy therein is yclept
"Col. Flourney Of Texas" The telegraph
informs US that "Col. Flournsy Of Texas
delivered glowing panegyric on Booth
and compared him to Brusus. He pre-.
dicted for him q life Of enduring fame.
Kirby Smith. General Price, Buckner and
Ex-Governor Reynolds Of Missouri were
present" When that "paregoric " was
delivered, Booth was Is dead a. Erostra.
tus. and sinking like . pole-cat. Flour
ney must sell out and quit the trade; and
il his neck is long enough ct present to
suit him, he had better wend his way to
"some sequestered spot" and keep wide
distance between himself and the odd
Yankees" A long rope and short Shrift
will be his doom if ever caught by those
who have read his glowing paneSyric
on the vile assassin whose bloody hand
has draped the American nation in per.
petual woe. p. Flourney's "panegyric"
was his self-pronounoed sentence Of ban
ishment or death.

MRS. L. H. sIGoURNEY.

This estimable lady died on Saturday June
10, in Hartford, after a lingering illness
She was born at Norwich on the Ist of Sep
tember, I7Sl, and was consequently in her
seventy year During the quarter of
a century ending, perhaps, somewhere about
1850, her name was more widely known, in
either hemisphere, than that of any other
American authoress.
Latterly her poetry has given place, in
most libraries, to that OF more modern and
varied school, though it viii never be who'll
ly superseded. She was early addicted to
verse-making, possessed a temperament
which, while it never marred her sound and
solid health, was nevertheless keenly suscep-
tible to the varied beauties and subtitle infu-
ence of nature.
She removed to this city in 1914 where
she opened select school for young ladies,
and where her poetical talent and many lady
like and Christian graees soon attracted the
notice and engaged the personal interest of
the late Daniel Wadsworth, gentleman
whose artistic and literary taste was fortu-
nately equalled by his pecuniary means; and
be was the means of introducing her to the
public in volume of Moral Pieces in
Prose and Verse,
In 1919 Miss Huntley became the second
wife of Charles Sigourney, we'll known
merchant of this city; and since that time
she, while engaged in the domestic affairs of
rearing a family of children, found time to
contribute largely to the serious literature of
the country, both in prose and verse. Her
published works, in all, number nearly fifty
volumes. Her prose is marked by yigor,
beauty and good sense, and, like her poetry,
is full of good moral preeepts
At home she was best known and loved
for her domestic virtues, and her rare neigh
bor.y spirit of friendly kindness Her heart
and purse were ever open to all good works
Of philanthropy and charity; and she had a
host of friends, and never an enemy. Ma
ny viii miss her kindly, genial presence, her
active sympathy, and her large-handed
charities. Hartford C0urdat.

WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH
LEADING REBELS.

1T is believed that the further intention
OF the Government on the amnesty ques-
ton, as far as it has taken form, is to indict
for treason all or most of the persons. excep-
ted from the proclamation, and when they
are arrested to try them for treason, and on
conviction TO sentence them seyerally tc be
hanged BY the neck until dead. It is also
proposed to keep a vigilant eye on those
embraced in the amnesty who shall make
themselves exceptions 10 it by refusing to
take the oath which 1t prescribes, and when
such persons shall become obnoxious and
mlschieyous by their pro -slaveTyism and dis
loyalty, they viii be arrested and tried for
treason IN manner similar to the above
mentioned class, and, like them, sentenced
to death. It's believed that when such per
sistent rebels shall have been indicted, ar
rested, tried, convicted, and sentenced to
die telon' death for treason, they will be
deprived OF all power to make themselves
dangerous, even il. the President should see
mt TO pardon the most Of them, or remit the
penalties against them A convicted traitor
who IS at large by favor Of Executive Gle
mency. viii be a very harmless creature, it
IS argued whereas many of the returned
rebels are more pompous aud self compla-
cent than before the war; refusing to speak
to old friends, who had been Unionists, and
organizing into political factions to resume
control of the Southern States in the name
Of State sovereignty and slavery. These
heresies are not yet given up, but they form
the neucleus. of partisan.-l n.-leagues throughout
the Border States, which are full of danger
They not only vote against the policy of the
Administration, but, as in Virginia, COM
bine through three-quarters Of the State to
ignore the Government, and delay and yio-
late the law Fhe trials and convictions
spoken of as included in the perspective pol
icy Of the Administration, viii take place in
Southern States as fast IS they are organ
lied This win probably be their first work,
and ii will be prosecuted with no feeling of
malice or revenge, but solely to vindicate
law ahd restore order in the land. Some of
these trials viii soon take place in Virginia,
where they are much needed and where the
outrageous conduct Of the traitors has al
ready convinced most of the clearest-headed
men that the return to civil government has
been premature. Special Washington Ctor-
respondent Of the Nelo York Tribune

Eat India staple. The facts and the ar

was sorry, very sorry, but DIR. Mason could
not be received, and the Southern Confed-

The fittettiaeacer asks why this intelli-

time it was communicated to the Confederate
Senate, and adds Had the delusion then
been removed from the people mind Of
cotton being king, or Of foreign recognition,
the war might have closed two years ago,
with less advantage to Great Britain and
more to the South and the United States
than at this late day. But elimination and
recrlmination are now out of place. Cotton
