Coz CALKlss, of the Madison (Wis)
Capitol, in warning his party against "Negro
Suffrage, Rock of Danger" in late leader
urging the impolicy Of pushing this element.
says: 81 efsss ..a E.. E'L.s
"A letter from leading Union man, who is
also an old Wing, Free-Soiler and Republican,
is before US. in which he says:
"Negro suffrage will be defeated by major.
ity of 20, 900 in the State. II the Union con.
vention adopts the issue there is danger that its
defeat will carry down the ticket ALSO"
Another prominent member of the former
republican party. and now Of the Union party,
in writing to US on business. says:
~ am glad to learn that there is a Union
paper at the Capital of our State, that does not
propose to read out Of the party many Of those
who have ever opposed slavery in every form
where it could be done legally, but who do not
believe that the white and black races can live
happily on terms Of political and social equal.
ity."
Language Of the same character is daily used
to US by returned officers and soldiers, who will
forswear allegiance to negro suffrage party, by
re fusing to vote for ticket nominated on that
issue. An Abolitionist of twenty years stand
ing, who was q Colonel Of one Of our regi
ments, ard brevetted for his gallant services
by his vehement expressions of opposition to
negro suffrage, called our attention and in
quiries to this subject, and il is our belief that
the feeling is SO strong against the measure
that the ticket would be in great danger on
which the vote for suffrage il marked. Let Us
avoid this rock Of PERIL uaafs.

The Auburn IN. w. Advertiser, Secretary
Stewards home newspaper organ, says: ,..,s :,
"That the president is opposed in his policy
Of restoration by class Of men of which
Senator Sumner is their representative. We are
obliged to confess, but We believe the body of
unionists will go with the president on that
subject, and thus sustain him.. "A the demo.
Gratis cannot do any better, We hope they will
be wise enough to do the same, If they do,
they ought to come in and vote with US. !" az
The class of men of which Senator Sumner
is the representative comprises about two.thirds
Of the republican party. If, The remaining
third want to sustain the president, it has only
to read the resolutions Of recent democratic
state conventions to ascertain how it can best
do so.

met of Mr.. Lincoln, and afterwards, BY his
daliance with the Conlederates up to the

ment made with Jefferson Davis by order
Of Buchanan, before The termination of his

months Of its term. It was coalition

The PRESIDENT A sUsuRPER.--The Chi.
cago Tribune, head devil among the rad
cals and destructives Of. the Northwest,
is becoming mora and more open each day
in its warfare upon the President. We

its hatred, and from allate issue we extrsct
another that is very positive as to the fact
Of his being usurper..--r r.--a- - ssir,.
"If we are not correct; if the President
is acting in his civil and not his military
capacity, and if the conquered provinces
are really and truly States, endowed with
the rights which the States of the North
possess, and are not subj, Ct to the military
law, the President is usurper and ought to
be impeached, because every one Of his acts
in relation to these so called States is an
assumption Of power that'he does not pos

FAREWELL TO SINAI.-We had come in by
the Valley Of Rahah we took our departure
by the Valley of Sheik. We left our cames
and walked on some distance down the valley.
We looked back again and again, and gazed
long and earnestly upon the tall peaks of Sinai,
as they stood in towering grandeur, kindled by
the glory of the morning sunlight. For near,
ly three miles down the valley the trowning
summit of Horeb remained full in view, and
we could not but think how from this valley as
well as from Rahah, the tented hosts of Israel
must have witnessed the sublime descent OF
God upon that lofty peak. At last bend in
the valley brought the circling hills in closer
amphithsatre about US. We turned, and gazed
and gazed, as the mountain gradually vanished
from our sight. 1t was with feeling Of re-
gret that We turned away, impressed with the
thought that we should see it no more.
Farewell, thou Mount Of God! Thy visit.

HYDRopHoBrA.-An inquest was held
lately, in England. on the body Of man
named Roberts. The deceased had been bit.
ten by a Newfoundland doc. The wound blcd
a little, and was ba thed with salt and water.
The following morning the deceased said he
was sure the dog was mad, and that he
should die in six weeks. He then went to
a medical man, who applied caustic to the
wound. He became sick, and was taken to
the infimary. He was quite sensible, and
said he felt strong enough to jump out of
the window. When the rdeceased's. face
was washed he shuddered as the water
touched him. Mr.. Walker, house surgeon
Of the infirmary, said he was Of opinion
that be had died from delirim tremens. He
swallowed some pills, but refused liquid.
Witness was Of opinion that there Was .
profound mental Impression acting upon i
weakened state. Delirium tremens might
be brought on by severe fright ORA nsfl
vous attack. He thonght1 death was not
caused by hydrophobia, but from sort OF
delrium, produced by extreme fear Of by.
drophobia, acting on his brain, somewhat
overbalanced by alcoholic stimulants. The
jury returned verdict in accordance with
the medical evidence. 49, q. 5tzs Z. X

TIE CAxpAloN IN TExAs-The rebel soldiers
and the rebel people In Texas on oil sides,
according to our last advices, are all In state
of high combustion for continued war against
the Yankees. Apparently they have no inten-
ton Of giving up their cause without stub
born fight The rebel military and political
leaders have their cotton TO look after. So
they bluster. They must hold on till they get
It to market and the cash In their pockets; and
the rebel planters have three or four hum
dred thousand negro slaves at stake. We may
expect, therefore. a sharp campaign In Texas;
but between Sheridan. Thomas and Candy, we
guess, the men and the materials will be found
sufficient for the work Of clearing out Texas by
the fourth Of July. That ought to be now the
purpose Of the administration, so that on the
GLORIOUS Fourth" we may have an unbroken
national jubilee from the Canadian to the
Mexican border.
