Rebel Illustration of Mr.. Seward in
His Last Character.

A foreign publication gives an
entertaining fancy sketch of tig-
erihunt in India, with sundry illus
4 trations, in the best style OF the art.
Hhe hero Of the sketch is tall,
guant, firm looking man who is
attended by companion low IN
stature, and who always keeps
himself close behind the principal
performers. In one of the hunts
they manage to entrap astiger in a
hogshead, and to ct his tail
through tho buug, hole, which
they ingeniousiy contrive to fasten
into a knot. The tiger, not liking
his new quarters, proceeds to take
up his line of march, to secede, IN
short, carrying the hogshead with
him; while, to prevent the knot
slipping, the tall man takes hold
OF the tail of the tiger, and the lit,
tie man, to prevent accident to
himself, grips firmly the tail of the
tall man coat. The illustration
which accompanies this scene is
one Of most laughter-moving of
oddities in this line of humor
Which We have ever seen. Ex,
tremes are said to meet; the Ger,
tainly met in this instance, and
the tarcial caricature might be
made with some modification, to
illustrate terrible tragedy in A

The President of the United
States, by virtue of his Office, Occu.
pies a more prominent position in
the antipathies of the Confederate
people than any other individual.
But it is only as such that he is
entitled to that distinction. PERI
sonally he has no such claim to the
abhorence of Southern minds as
William II. Seward, who, more
than other individual in the North,
is responsible for the state of pub,
lie sentiment which brought on
the war, for the political organiza-
tion of Aboltioniam. for the adop-
tion of coercion, and, we doubt not
tor every important step that Linz
coin has taken from the time when,
on his way to Washington to be
inaugurated, he re fused to dis
close the policy,of his aIminlstra,
ton, down to the conclusion of the
hpeace commission at Fortress Mon
roe. 1t is unjust, and, it seems to
us, impolitic, to aim the batteries
of the Confederate press at Mr..
Lincoln us the real President of
the United States. The arch .ene-
my of our country, and of peace
and liberty, is William Il. Seward,
who has become, virtually, the
monarch ofthe United States, and
makes all the other departments Of
the Government-executive, legis-
lative and judicial-the mere regis.
