cursory perusal of a publishers circular:
'Belial," feeling somewhat "Alone in

A Young MaE Detected in Fe.
male Guisc.
From the Cleveland Herald

from tue OleNeianu Herald.
About two months ago young girl of
pleasing looks and address came here
from New York city. At first she did
duty as a hotel waiter, and afterward,
through some means or other, got a situa-
ton at the Varieties, where she presided
over the cigar stand. There her good
looks and winning ways obtained her nu>
merous customers, and she drove brisk
business. In many cases her fascinated
patrons refused to take any change, and
thus "Miss Addie''-for that was her
name-throye apace in her own right, and
managed to pick up any amount of pin
m oney. Adde'S admirers, from the first,
were numerous; but eventually they be-
gan to besiege her iii droves. 50 that often
the cigar stand would draw better than
the stage itself. She was an accomplish
cd coquette, and thus had smile for each
and every one Of the crazy crew at her
feet Her smiles were by no means con-
fined to the young, for gray hairs were
found worshipping at her shrine as often
as the fair locks Of youth. Among those
who wooed her were old bachelors, and
Young America, and men Of family, and
widowers, and brainless fops and boys
whose chins had not even made the ac-
quaintence of down. And the attentions
to which she was treated were by no
means confined to the wordy class. No,
indeed substantials in abundance fell to
her lot Old Mr.. So-and-sO gave her q
new dress. and ''old bach" So-and-so pre-
sented her with several pairs of pocket
handkerchiefs, and Fast So-and-so sent her
two pair of silk gators, and several pairs
Of Alexander's best while Master S. and
SO gave her an order for a new bonnet
Then, too, scarcely Il day passed that she
was not taken out to ride behind pair Of
fast nags, with all the usual accessories o.
ice cream, strawberries and cream, Roman
punch, &c
Thus things went on-from the time Of
her appearance to the Narleties-in this
ro: cate way until a few days ago, when the
astounding discovery was made that Miss
Addie" was Il man. OF course the man
agcr and her crowd Of admirers were both
astounded, and inclined to doubt their
senses: but in spite Of all it turned out
that he was q man.
| The young man stated that for fourteen
years he had worn the garb Of woman,
in which guise his fair and pleasing looks
had materially assisted him. In fact he
looks as much as women when in male
attire as when dressed in bonnet and
gown. In n. York he played the part of
a pretty waiter girl at a Broadway Va
riety, remaining there till the waiter girls
were crushed" when ne came hither.
Since the discovery of his ruse, lie has
gone on the stage and appears each even-
ing at the Varieties, in ''part first"

that we should be emancipated and enjoy

the more cxacting they are in their de-

The Black Republican press having cx-
erciscd themselves for the past six months
in announcements of the dissolution Of the
Democratic party, are now beginning to
devote considerable attention to their own
self.preseryation. The Chicago Tribune.
tie Western light Of that party, is now
arguing as follows:
"To preserve the Republican party, and
to labor for continuance of Its ascend
cncy in the nation, are duties the full
force of which we feel whenever we look
out upon the mad clements by which the
peace and honor of the country are threaten
ed But we would preserve it vital. active
organization, depending for its victories
upon the strength Of its principles and the
loftiness of its appeals to the hearts and
conscience Of the people, not upon the
chicane of its managers, Or the double
faced sophistry Of its advocates. The first
necessity, then, in the preservation of a
party, is to see that its creed has not been
corrupted, and that It's public policy cor
responds with the spirit and promises that
led to its organization; hence, We warn
the old political shysters and spOil-hua-
ters, like Forney and that tribe, who hang
upon the skirts OF power at Washington,
that when they set up the cry that the
party is in no danger, and that private
opinion, no matter how widely or con-
scientiously entertained, must give way
before encroachments upon the party 5
most sacred principles, and upon its most
cherished hopes, they are mistaken in the
beginning they make, and that they will
act the wiser part if they apply the cor
rective where they find the origin Of the
evil. The Republican party has not yet
accomplished all the work that the people
organized it to do; and we who abide by
its spirit of freedom arc the ones to com
plain that its unity is threatened, and
hence, that it is in danger of being over
thrown 1t sEall not be without a strug-
gle that the earnest men Of the country
know how to make. The responsibility
for division and defeat shall not be ours

troops at the commencement of the war,
and stuck to them until the 'dog was

Soon after lie was mustered into the rebel
service the regiment to which he belong
ed appeared before the Colonel on dress
parade, and the Colonel, who prided him
self on the fine appearance AMI good size
of his men, east his eyes along the line,
with smile Of selfsatisfaction until they
rested on the towering form of the tall
Missourian, when he knit his brows, and
called out tiercely in thunder tones, ''Get
off that stump, you impertinent scoundrel,
or III order you under arrest" The sold
iers looked 1T each other, wondering what
the Colonel meant, but no one moved =
Finding his authority treated with disre-
spect he fairly boiled with rage, and adj
vancing to the big soldier, he exclaimed,
What in the ID are you standing on?"
The soldier respectfully replied, "On my
feet, Colonel" The Colonel was COM
pletely taken aback, as he surveyed this
tail specimen of humanity from head to
foot in blank amazement; he mumblcd an
apology for his rude remarks and hasten.

laughter. "Get off that stump" became
a by-word with the Missouri rebels, and

in divesting any citizen of that right than
in depriying him of his property. Such
doctrine would i'll suit the principles Of
the Revolution, which taught the inhabi-
tants of this country to risk their lives
and fortunes in asserting their liberty, or,
in other words. their right to share in the
government. That portion of tie sover-
eighty to which each individual is entitled
can never be too highly priced. 1t is
that for which we have fought and bled;
and We should carefully guard ngainst any
precedents, however they may be immedi-
ately directed against those we hate, which
may, in their consequences, render our
title to this great privilege precarious-
Here we may find the criterion to distin~
guish the genuine from the pretended
Whig. The man that would attack that
right, in whatever way, is an enemy to
Whigism. - Works, il, p BIG.
We leave to our readers, or those Of
them who have examined the proclama-
ton of the President of the Omitted States"
defining the rights Of the citizens OF rec
ognized States, within those States, and
designating who Of their members, shall
vote and who shall rot vote, the applica-
ton of this apt opinion of Col. Hamilton,
whose inclination led him to promote rath-
cr than to discourage, the cause of consol
ldation and concentration of authority
and to oppose that Of the confedcrated re-
public.
We leave it with them; and VIC hope
that each will ask himself, and answer the
question truthfully, "Wherein, if at all,
are we different today from those who, in
January, 1770, struck the first blow for
freedom, on Golden Hill; and wherein, if
at all, are those who assume to rule over
us, to-day, different from the Ministry,
whose hirelngs received that blow, and
who, during nearly fourteen years, sought
in vain to paralyze the arm which struck
it?"-Tonhers (N. ~ Ga=eae.

"Sir, your North Caroline Proclamation

"That may be" replied the President,
'but the loyal men Of the South have
made untold sacrifices for their Union
sentiments, while Massachusetts has made
hundreds of millions out of her loyalty

At this reply ofthe President Mr.

you cvincing so little sympathy with that
element that placed you in power"
at this the color flushed to the Presi-
dents face, and he added, emphatcally

lists; but, as | despise them, l still have a
greater detestation and contempt for 4 fa-

From the Richmond W hlg, June "a.
The depression of business consequent
upon the deficiency of money continues.
The supply of merchandise of nearly eve
ry description is in excess OF the demand
and prices accordingly rule low--at figures,
in some cases below the northern m: rkets.
The prevailing opinion is that the auction
sales of groceries, &c, by forcing goods
upon the markets, have brought down
prices below the normal standard, and if
continued will ruin, for time, the trade
of the city-a result which ali business
men are interested in avertinS. Conse-
quently several Of the leading houses have
determined to suspend the sales Of mer-
chandise at auction until the railroad
communication with the interior is com
pletcd, and tue grain crops Of the current
year are sold or hypothecated. In other
words, until money flows more freely, and
competition becomes more active. A few
articles Of subsistence, such as bacon and
iish, are selling at remunerative prices
The description OF goods known as "sut
lers' stores" are going off at very low fig
ures, but the stocks are now nearly eX~
hausted The market is overstocked with
liquors, and prices twenty-five per cent.

Guilty At an auction sale Of crockery
yesterday, the offerings, in small lots, were
knocked out at very moderate prices.
