-A- After the tragedy, comes the
farce. Fer four long years the 4,
world has looked in amazement upon .
the gigantic warfare existing in the
United States, between the friends 3
and foes of the Government. During
its progress, scenes of bloodshed and 2
atrocity have been perpetrated by
these rebels, unparalleled in the annals
of the world. Every rule of civilized
warfare has been violated in order to
effect their unholy ends. Prisoners
have been starved to death. under
circumstances that would appal the
most savage heart Unoffendinq
prisoners and soldiers who had
thrown down their arms have been
cruelty murdered in cold blood. Even
the dead bodies of those whose love
OF country led them to battle for
their rights and in protection of
their homes, have been treated with
indignities that would bring the
blush Of shame upon the cheek of a
New Zealand cannibal. Every crime
in the catalogue has been committed
by these fiends in human shape, to
accomplish the ruin of the nation, and
thousands of valuable lives sacrificed
to the fiendish mahgnity with which
they pursued their object. To all
other crimes they finally added the
assassination of the Chief officer of ?
the Government, whose only fault, g
was that of too much lenity and for
bearance toward those who sought
his lite. Thus the last great act of
this terrible tragedy was closed by :
the deliberate murder of the Ruler of
the Nation, and the curtain drops as
the great chieftain mourned by the
world at large is borne to his last
resting place.
And now comes the farce. The
Chief instigator of all this crime
with Lis co adjutants in the plot ;
finding all lost, and that freedom
is again triumphant betake them
selves to flight. Laden with stolen
plumber, these miserable men seek
to escape the vengeance of the
Nation they have so foully wronged. I
But all efforts are vain. The sel-
diers of the Union are every where
in their path. Like frightened hares,
these invincible specimens of South 2
ern chivalry double on their tracks,
and adopt every means to escape that ;
fate which they well know, is their
due. Finally the President of this
Southern Confederacy, the illustri..
Gus, high born, refined, elegant
Southern gentleman, Jefferson Dsvis, !;
is caught by few sturdy Michigan
ders, disguised in his wife's petit
coats, and making tracks for his life.
But all efforts to escape the North
ern Mudsills are vain and he finally
yields himself prisoner, while his
wife the Lady Davis kindly adj
yises his captCrs not to irritate the
President or some of them would get
hurt. The world has never seen
such farce. We drop the curtain.

until II 30, giving MS sufficient time
TO unload and get dinner.
Before the war, Dalton was a

saw hardly any citizen men, but q

and took good sized chew. Being
joined by one or two her females,
and talking awhile, they started off,
but IN somewhat different directions.
The first woman bawled out to the
new conner, "what ar you gwine that

and smoke q pipe with me, my ole

And they started off taking long
strides, stretching their skirts every
step, and squirting tobacco juice out
OF their mouths, like TexaL despera
does.
That afternoon we marched to
this place, fifteen miles, in four hours,
through clouds of dust. and broil-

0astanula river. stream about a
hundred yards wide, and from twenty
i've to thirty feet in depth.
The rebel pickets were in sigh,

after mules, they fell into

Wealth inherited should be the in-
centive to exertion. Instead of that,
''it is the title-deed to sloth." The
only money that does man good is
what he earns himself. A ready
male fortune, like ready made
clothes, seldom fits the man who
comes in possession. Ambition,
stimulated by hope and half filed
