The N. Y. Sunday Times gives the fol-
lowing very cutting opinion upon themerits
and dement's of Mr. Lincoln's inaugural:
"GRAMMAR, LOGIC AND THEoLoGY.-TheI
inaugural of Mr. Lincoln is UNNECESSARILY
the worst official speech ever made by
chief magistrate Of this republic false in
it's grammar, false In its logic, andimpious
" false in its theology. The bad English
may be forgiven, the logic that pronounces
judgment against the South for breaking
the peace, and at the same time exhorts Us
to Judge not thatwe bs.not judged" may
only provoke smile, but the assumption
that God wiled the existence Of the offence
Of slavery for an nappointed tine" and
then willed its removal b. bloody war, is
neither more nor less than blasphcmuus.-
It is the doctrine of aJsolute predestindtion,
and if true, neither North nor South is re.
sponsiblc for the blood that has been shed
in the QUARREL, but the Almighty alone i
sovereign decree Of the Omnipotent accord
ing to Mr.. Lincoln) is the present struggle
to be ascribcd And yet, in another part
upon the South |! Never did mortal man
spac e as Mr.. Lincoln has done in less than
one hundred printed 'lines9a s@"i~lt'2
q. AoAiN AND AcAIN.--Our readers may think
it strange tina TIVE SO often urge upon their at.
tentfoh medical preparations. ~Alrcady have
we, for number Of weeks, urged the impor-
lance Of q supply of Goes Cough Balsam in
the house, ready for immediate use. But our
excuse is the vast amount of sickness, sorrow
and destlfthat are the immediate result Of sud.
den coughs, colds and pulmonary attacks !;
while thousands of our children are dying from
Group and lung complaints. Timo and expert
,ence have proved that Goes Cough Balsam is
the host speedy and, reliable preparation ever
known to the world Like magic it relieves
the irritation of the throat, removes the STOP
pages that prevent breathing in Group, and
heals all soreness or the throat, chest and
lungs. No man should neglect to supply his
family with q, safe and reliable medicine like
Goes Cough Balsam, any more than he should
neglect the supply of their daily bread. 1t
costs but forty cents, and the bottles contain
twice rs much as those of any other remedy at
the same cost, while in merit, it is superior to
all others. All drug stores keet it for sale.

Hong Kong advices of the 10Th of October,
II days later, have been received. The
steamer Worotah was reported captured by
pirates while on the way from Shanghai TO
Fou Chow Piracies in Chinese waters are on
the increase. Foreign relations with the
Chinese are quite out of joint, owing 20 the
mandarin worshipping policy which charac-
terizes the career of Sir X. Brnee.
The district lying northeast of Pekin has
been ravaged by troops of balidit cavalry.
A body of $50 mounted rancheros made q
raid to within 200 miles of the capital. A
force was sent after them, but they made
good their escape. The last stronghold OF
Rebellion in the province of the King is re-
ported to be evacuated. The insurgents, it is
added, retreated to Fu Kia. The Mahome-
dan rebels at Fung kann in Shevsi, had sur
rendered. and were slaughtered to u man.
Intelligence from Japan respecting foreign
affairs is very satisfactory. The quarrel be-
tween the Tycoon aud the Prince Nagato had
been settled, and steamer had been an
nounced to leave Iakohomi direct for Suez,
the inducements being the conveyance of silk
worm eggs. Silks seem plentiful in Japan,
but are scarce in China.

Our Fallen Heroes.
WASHINGTON, Dec. q.
Some months ago, Quartermsster General
Meigs issued an order to his Assistants to
make special reports Of the location and con-
dition Of soldier 9 cemeteries known to them,
with 1 recommendation Of the means neces-
sary to provide for the preservation OF the re-
mains inferred therein from desecration.
Since that time the roll of honor or the
names of soldiers who died in defense of the
American Union has been published, and re-
Gently the names of officers and soldiers found
on the battle fields of the Wilderness and of
Spottsylvania Court House, Va. Of these
latter, nearly 800 names, 2l0 are those OF
soldiers from Pennsylvania, ~ from New
York and go from Massachusetts.
Head boards have been erected to their
graves on the battle fields of the Wilderness.
Two cemeteries have been laid out, en-
closed by paling fence. The sites are well
adapted for the resting places of those who
fell in the vicinity. having been selected
where the scenes ofcarnage appeared to be
the greatest
1t was no unusual occurrence TO observe
the lines Of our men close to the abattis OF
the enemy. and Ia one case several skeletons
Of our soldiers were found in their trenches.
Hundreds of graves on these battle fields
are without any mark whatever to distinguish
them, and so covered with foliage that the
visitor will be unable to find the last resting
place of those who have fallen, until the rain
and SHOWS Of winter wash from the surface
the light covering of earth, and expose their
remains.
Quartermaster General Meigs has caused to
be removed to the cemetry at Arlington the
remains of those who died in the camping
grounds in the vicinity, and has taken meas
! ures TO collect the remains of all others for
deposit in permanent cemeteries, including
those at Camp Douglas, near Chicago.

authorized to engage such assistance as may
be requisite to aid him in carrying the work
forward with energy and success.
From what we have heard of the scientific
attainments and ability of DR.. c. A. White OF
Iowa City, we believe he would be a proper
man to be entrusted with the management of
the Survey, and judging from the commenda.
tions he receives from other Geologists, and
from the press and from the able and instruc-
tive lecture delivered on the Soils of Iowa at
the State Fair, he is apparently the best man
for sach an appointment. We believe as we
have said heretofore that no one important
State interest could be so valuaby promoted
by an appropriation ofthe same amount as the
Geological Survey; and it is due to the people
of the State and those who are seeking to make
Iowa the State of their adoption that such n
survey should be Immediately made and its
reports published at All early day.

| 1t appears from documents in the Bureaus
of refugee and freedmen that recent order
issued in Mississippi BY Gen. Thomas, for the
adoption of the most stringent measures to
prevent insnrrectiou among the freedmen,
was merely to quiet the frightened citizens by
indicating the readiness Of the Bureau to take
prompt steps for the preservation Of order in
any event, and not because there were any
fears ON the part of Government officers OF
an insurrection in that State.

Beef Cattie--The marke; this morning is active
and firm. Sales range from So 80 TO { 5 per 100
lbs. The arrivals thus far have been light, hot
withstanding the prediction Of of the brokers
Yesterday, that there would be rush this week
The rush has not yet arrived.
Hogs-The market opens active and prices firm
Transactions arc only limited by the supply. Few
Hogs are arriving. Price ranges from 50 rs to
ii 80.
Sheep-There were several arrivals of Sheep
yesterday afternoon and this morning We also
hear more inquiry. This inquiry comes from the
indignant butchers. who propose to stop killing
Scallawag Beef, and thereby punish our citizens.
and indict upon US Mutton instead. Price ranges
from So so to 50.
Notwithstanding the Indignation and threaten
ings of the butchers, there seems to be good rel
resentation of them in the market this morning.
They are doubtless laying In store for their
own eating.
The supply of oil kinds of stock is light com
pared with the amount usually on the market this
day in the week. X
Not for weeks has there been frmer feeling
manifest, notwithstanding the secession of the
butchers.
