LOYALTY IN THE SOUTH.

il is not among the monied men OF
the South that we are to look for true
loyalty; their loyalty is governed en-
tircly by circumstances. When reb-
els are in power they are rebels when
the Union cause is in the ascendency
they are Unionists. This has been
demonstrated in nearly all the cities
that we have taken. Nashville may
he cited rs an instance. When thut
city fell into our hands, the capital
ists were good loyal citizens, and
were ready 10 take tho oath of ale
glance. Everything went on smooth.
ly until there was supposed to be q
good prospect of the recapture of the
city by Hood. Then it was that their
rebelism, so long suppressed, cropped
out. They were certain that the Fed.
eral rule was at an end, and began to
talk rebelism with impunity. They
were disappointed in their expecta-
tions, and have once more settled
down as loyal citizens. This kind Of
loyalty will bear Watching
Where, then, are we to look for 10y
atty Simply among the poorer class
es of whites, and the negroes. Wher
ever our armies have gained foot
ing, they have been received by thes,
people joyfully, and with demonstra
tions that showed that they were sin
cere. Their every interest tends t,
make them so. Under the system
of society that has been in vogue il
the South, they have been deprived
of any of the benefits of Free Gov
ernment, and anything that is likcl
to rescue them from their thraldou
is hailed with delight. They wer
forced into rebellion by the monte,
aristocracy, and when an opportuni
ty is offered they will return to thei
: allegiance.

STILL RAMPANT.

The Indians out on the plains seem still
to have things about their own way. They
destroy the telegraph line at their leisure,
capture and burn wagon trains, and mas
sacre their escorts. whenever so inclined,
and run of the stock from the Government
and Stage Company'S posts at pleasure.
They so far outnumber the troops on the
plains that they have hardly any restraint.
This is an entirely different state Of affairs
from what should be permitted to exist,
especially now that the Government, has
30 many thousands of troops at its dis
posal. The constant interruption of bust
ness and commercial communication is OF
incalculable injury 10 the people here, and
il is also q source Of much perplexity and
loss TO parties in the Fast. WI think the
War Department will begin to take some
action in the matter, commensurate with
the evil to be overcome. when the news of
the loss a. sea Of the commander of one Of
the most important Military Districts on
this coast, and the consequent derange-
mens Of military affairs here are first
brought by the steamer three weeks hence
for there appears to be no prospect OF
having telegraphic communication sooner.
We have no doubt but that when the
Honorable civil and distinguished military
visitors. now on this coast, return to the
East, they will press upon their respective
departments Of the Government the neces-
sity Of effectually and finally quelling the
hostilities of the Indians on the plains.
We do not expect to see such a state Of
affairs another year; but why should it be
suffered to exist the entire present season:
Would it not have more beneficial by far
:or some Of the thousands of troops who
were sent down TO Texas TO have been
dispatched after the red-skined devils on
the plains: They are now the only rebels
in arms against our Government, and con-
sequently the only ones requiring the at
tcntion of q Grierson or Sheridan.

SINGULAR CAsE.-One of our exchanges
says there is q young man in a town in
Vermont ipho cannot speak to his father.
Previous 10 his birth, some difference arose
between his mother and her husband, and
for a considerable time she refused 10
speak to him. The difficulty was subse-
quently settled-the child was born, and
in due time began to talk-but when sit
ting with his father was invariably silent.
1t Continued so until it was five years old,
when the father, having exhausted his
powers of persuasion, threatened it with
punishment for Its st~ubbornness. When
the punishment was inflicted, it elected
nothing but signs and groans, which told
but too plainly that the little sufferer was
vainly %endeavoring to speak. All who
were present united in this opinion, that
it wa, impossible for the child to speak to
hi, Edthsr-and time proved their opinion
TO be correct. At maturer age its efforts
to converse with its parent could only
produce the most bitter sighs and groans.

Incren.c Of Immigration.

The tide of immigration, which was
greatly retarded by the war, 10 beginning
to flow again to al almost unprecedented
extent. On Monday, three vessels arrived
at this port-two from Liverpool and one
from Hamburg-which had an aggregate
of nearly two thousand immigrants. The
vessels were crowded to their utmost ca
pacity, and it was necessary to refuse a
large number of applications for passage.
These immigrants represent that the for.
eign seaports, from which this class of
passeng rs embark, are thronged with peo-
pie who hocked thither for embarkation
to America as soon as the news of the
termination Of the war reached them. The
exodus from Germany, particularly, is
said to be beyond parallel. The poorer
classes, who have relatives in this country,
have been anxiously awaiting the end Of
the war, and now they are on the way.
from every direction, to Hamburg and
other parts, eager to reach the land OF
freedom, and build up homes for them
selves and posterity. This encouraging
aspect of immigration is gratifying at this
ime, for the country needs all the aid 1t
can get to restore the ravages Of war, and
develop our exhaustless resources. A
vast field is open in the South, and in the
Western States and territories; where all
who choose may carve out futures for
themselves, and at the same time add to
the material wealth Of the country. There
fore, let the oppressed Of Europe come as
thickly as the locusts Of Egypt, II they
will, for America is both able and willing
to give them protection and wealth-if
they can work.-N.. Y. Sun.

The English Pirate ''shennndoAh I"
will MT her Infamous Work.

Stlkl mt u0r kuIuL1OuN "OEAs
A faint hope had been INDUCED by u
Ship-owners and merchants, within the
past week, that the pirate Waddell had
learned enough Of the utter failure OF the
rebellion and the uselessness Of further
raids upon the m of the United
States, to induce him to desist from his
cowardly work Of burning peaceful mer-
chant and whaling vessels, and endeavor
to make good his escape to some friendly
or neutral" port, before a National yes
sci could overhaul him and give him an
opportunity to stretch hemp This hope
was founded in part on the fact that when
last seen by the officers of the Milo, at the
entrance of the Gulf Of Anadyr, the Susan
Abigail, with San Francisco papers to the
10th Of May, giving full details Of the sur
render of Johnson's and Dick. Taylor's
forces. and the utter collapse OF the re-
bellion, was in sight, and sure TO fall into
the hands of the scoundrel. This hope
was ~dissipated entirely BY the arrival OF
the barque General Pike last evening, with
the crews of seven more burned vessels on
board. 1t seems that Waddell destroyed
the Susan Abigail, as he had those pre-
viously taken. and then being unable to
pass through the ice into the Gulf Of
Anadyr, or the Sea Of Okhotsk, went on
towards Behring's Straits and the Artic
Ocean, where about eighty vessels, COM
prising the whole bulk Of the Artic whaling
fleet, were cruising, declaring his intention
Of destroying every American vessel hi
could find, and protesting to discredit the
whole story Of the failure of the Confed-
eracy, on the ground that it was published
in Northern papers" only. At St. Law
renee Island he burned the ship General
Williams, Of New London, within q mile
and a-half of shore, and next morning fell
in with five other vessels, which he cap
,ured and destroyed, and then continued
on his courses. F. Alta.

IS 1T A BLESSING TO OWE WHAT
YOU CAN'T PAYP

Mr.. Jay Cooke, the able fnancier who
has been so successful in negotiating the
Government loans, has prepared an elao.
crate document to prove that the ina
t,onal debt is a blessing" and that. II
rightly managed, it will prove to be a
bond that will cement the Union more
firmly than before. This proposition is
ably argued by Mr.. Cooke, and it can not
be denied that he adduces some very
plausible reasons for his assumption. The
doctrine that a national debt is calculated
to strengthen a government, is by no
means a new theory, and there are, in
fact, many able political economists in
England who s~trenuously argue in favor
Of the proposition. Mr.. Cooke will pro-
baby. find some difficulty, however, IN
proving to the American people that q
debt Of any kind-whether personal, State
or nationals "a blessing" Our peo-
pie have always had the notion that ind
vidual Indebtedness is a sort of synonym
for misery, and it will be difficult to con-
vince them that an aggregation Of individ-
ual misery constitutes q blessing, But
the latter part of Mr.. Cookies proposition
will doubtless meet with more general
favor, for the agreement is not easily con-
troverted. The debt being distributed all
over the country, in every State, county
and town, and among all classes of people,
it will necessarily prove a bond OF Union.
Every man who holds o dollars worth OF
national securities will have a pecuniary
interest in the perpetuation Of the Union,
additional to every other influence. Yet
with all these advantages there are very
few people who would not consent to re-
linquish them for the sake OF, getting rid
of the national debt, if that were possible.
The question will naturally arise, if three
thousand millions of debt is a blessing,
why not let it accumulate SO as to make
it a still greater blessing But Mr..
Cookies article is really beneficial, for al
though it may fail to prove satisfactorily
the ground which he assumes, it certainly
will tend to diSsipate any fears that may
have been engendered regarding the
danger of such a debt to our financial
security. A number of Mr.. Cookies cir
culars on this subject can be obtained at
our Office.

maha Courier says: A house standing

arates from the Telegraph road, was
swept away clean, leaving not q vestige.
Several of the inmates were severely In
jured, but, strange to say, none OF them
killed. Two or three of them were swept
away by the wind, and the first thing
they knew, found themselves clingipg to
the telegraph wire, which had blown
down, and lay IN their course. Had it
not have been for this they might have
been dashed TO pieces. A new wagon
standing near the house was smashed to
atoms, leaving scarcely a whole spoke.
and twisting the tires into all sorts of

FROM ONE EXTREME TO THE
OTHER.

The vote on the new CONSTITUTION OF
Missouri, is an instance Of the remarkable
change which has occurred in public SEN
timent in that State during the last four
years. This Constitution is Of the most
ul,ra-radical type, and was the offspring
of q class who denounced President Lin
coin, called him a "lick-spittle OF the
South" because of his conservatism, and
refused to support him in the last election
because of his unwillingness to endorse
the extreme radical policy toward the
South. That the principles Of such a
party should be successful in a State hav-
ing such antecedents as Missouri, is n OF
the strange anomalies that have resulted
from the rebellion. A few years ago,
Missouri was VIGOROUSLY the most raoid
pro-slavery State in the Union. At the
time Of the Kansas agitation, it was so in
;ensely ultra on the slavery question, that
no free State man dared to breathe his
sentiments in the State, except in st.
Louis or its immediate neighborhood. As
an instance of the length to which this
m~alignity was carried, the writer Of this
article happened TO be a passenger on the
ST. Louis and L%eavenworrh steamboat,
John Warner, in the fall Of 1856, bound
for the latter city. A, Lexington the boat
was boarded by gang Of border ruff
fans" of villainous aspect, and armed
to the teeth" who perempsorily searched
every passenger on board, as well as the
cargo of the vessel, tor the discovery OF
arms. Having robbed the passengers Of
al! the weapons they could find, they next
compelled every man to disclose the State
from whence he came, and two Of the pas
sengers were marched of as prisoners
where, we know not-because they were
from Massachusetts, What a change !!
Missouri now bids fair to become the most
radical free State in the Union.
