SHOULD BIB RELIEvED,--Mr. Wilcox, late CT the
Idaho Brass Band has been suffering severely for
some weeks with an affection of the eyes, which
has caused him great pain, and nearly deprived
him of eye-sight. He is well known in this com.
nunity as an Industrious, liberal and kind hearted
man, always among the foremost in deeds OF
charity to the destitute and afflicted Unless he
can procure the means of going below to expe-
rienced occulists he will probably lose his sight
entirely. Sitting alone in the darkness of the
Theatre during the long days in suffering and sor-
row, Wilcox is deserving Of sympathy, and of
relief as far as it can be bestowed. He has many
friends here, who, by uniting their means and ex-
ertions can do something toward furnishing him
with the only relief which eansave him from total
blindness, and we hope either through benefit
or other method, that object will be secured.

There Is one other thing wanted. After
you have given US all the means and all
the men we want, the croakers should be
hanged. Good They should be put in
the trenches, and the soldiers should inhict
capital punishment upon them. Put them
in the trenches, and let the soldiers come
to town and take their places. That is the
sort of capital punishment would accord
them. These croakers say, This or that

calico ninety" They have no right to talk
in this manner. A man recently came to
my house and commenced croaking, when

read resolutions Of the Fffty.seventh, Four

and Davis's Mississippi brigade, showing
the spirit and determination of our soldiers.
That, he said, was the way to talk. These
were model soldier resolutions scorn for
the croakers, confidence in their rulers,
and contempt for the weakened. Also,
resolutions of similar character from a
Louisiana regiment, showing that they
would make every sacrifice for the defence

pressed their soil.
Mr.. Benjamin said he saw no prospect
of cessation of this struggle during the
present year. Let every man stand up
and nerve his heart to the contest. The
enemy was utterly unable to continue this
war beyond the present campaign. Lei
us stand up firmly, and we shall be free
In conclusion, Mr.. Benjamin drew a
beautiful picture of peace and its conse
quent blessings, and said all that and more
awaited us if we nerved ourselves as we
ought to for this last struggle.

SPEECH OF J. p. BENJAMIN,

Secretary Of State Of the Confederate
States, IN Richna0aaQ, on the 9th Febru-
. arg, 1865.
The number of persons composing this
meeting, the cheers with which l hear
you greet every expression of patriotic
sentiment, show the defiance with which
your breasts are swelling, and the hot fiji sh
which all feel at the bare thought Of the
ignominy, which an arrogant government
has proposed to you, that you should bend
the knee, bow the neck and meekly sub
NIT to the conquerer's yoke; and all give
assurance that the fire of freedom burns
unquenchably in your souls. How differ
ent from one short week ago! It seems
an age, so magic has been the change
. Then, dependency and hope deferred o.
pressed and weighed upon us; men were
querulous, and asking if it were true that
no honorable peace were attainable ex-
cept by continued warfare. Then, it was
said it was our perverse indisposition to
negotiate that led to the arrogance of the
invader. This delusion went so far that
it penetrated. the legislative halls, and
threatened disruption of the harmony of
our councils. Now, cheerful voices are
heard around, and hope beams on every
eountenanee. Now, the resolute and war
worn soldier is nerved anew. Now, the
cheering and purifying influence of our
glorious women sheds its light over our
cause, and still leads US on in the path of
duty and honor What is the cause of
this striking change ia the aspect Of our
affairs2 Have we found allies in foreign
lands, such as came to our fathers in the
hour Of their sorest need, to stretch their
arm to our assistanee2 Has any European
State come to our aid in the time of our
extremity? Not so; but just the reverse.
Our gallant Beauregard is still contending
against Sherman, and I heard men this
morning specializing on the chances of his
drawing ilf his lines and abandoning the
defence of Charleston. Glorious Charles
ton, which, for over twenty months, has
withstood fire such as never been rained
on devoted city. Our enemies are still
arrayed against US. There is no voice
from across the Atlantic of any aid to be
What then is the cause of this
change? 1t is the knowledge which has
come home to the understanding and the
hearts of the people. We now know, in
the core of our hearts, that this people
must conquer its freedom or die. [Cheers.l

How MAN FEELS WITH HIS HEAD oTI.-It is
considered on all sides that the body does not feel
one instant after decapiaton, for the brain being
the seat of sensation to the whole frame, through
the medium of the spinal marrow every part of the
body beneath the joint at which the latter may be
divided, must be deprived of feeling. But it BY no
means follows that the head is deprived of sensa-
ton Immediately after decaptation, nor that it may
not retain its consciousness and like the head OF
the Irish knight who was killed by Saadin in the
Holy War, get up and declare that it was never cut
off by so sweet scnastar before; nor like that Of
an assassin, Legare, swear roundly at the execu-
toner for not keeping keener axe but it is quite
possible that it may be troubled with very serious
reflections upon the irrevocability Of its fate and
the awflness of its deprivation. In support of this
unpleasant theory, many facts are adduced, with
grave vouchers for their authenticity. Among 9TH
ers is the unfortunate Queen of Scots, whose lips
continued to move in prayer for at least quarter
of an hour after the executioner had performed his
duties. Wind states that having put his mouth to
the ear of the decapitated criminals head and called
him by name, the eyes turned from whence the
voice came, and this fact is attested by Fontenolo
Megoro, Guiotine, Nauche and Aldini On the
word murder being called, in the case OF criminal
executed for that crime at Ooblentz the half clos ed
eyes opened with expression of reproach on those
who stood around.

A PHILOSOPHIO DARKEY.

A newspaper correspondent from the
Cumberland river gives the following hu-
morous account of colloquy with phil
osophic darkey, who had been present at
the battle of Fort Donelson:
Observing him toasHng his shins against
the chimney, 1 broke in upon his profound
meditations thus:
Were you in the battle of Fort Donel-
SOM
Had little taste of it ga.
Stood your ground, did you?
No sa, runs.
Run at the first fire, did you?
Yes sa, and would hab run sooner had
l knowed it war cumin.
Why that wasn't very creditable to your
courage?
Dat amt in my line sa cooking's my
purfeshun.
Well, but you have no regard for your
reputation!
Reputation 3 nuthin to me by de side
of life.
Do you consider your life worth more
than other peoples?
Its worth more to me, sa.
Then you must value it highly?
IS 50, uO6S-IQOT0 uau Hi us WOFlu-
more dan million of dollars sa, for what
would dat be worth to man wild de BRET
out'n himl Self presentation am de first
law wild me, sa.
But why should you act upon a differ
ent rule from others9
Because different men sets different
values on da lives, mine is not in de mar
ket, sa.
But if you lost it you would have the
satisfaction of knowing you died for your
country. ..........
What satisfaction would dat be to me,
sa, when de power of feelin was gone?
Then patriotism and honor are nothing
to you?
Muffin whatever, sa, I regards dem as
among de vanities. 49,.
If our soldiers were like you, traitors
might have broken up the government
without resistance.
Yes sa, there would hab been no help
for it: 1 wouldn't put my life in de scale
against any gubberment dat ever existed,
for no gu6berment could replace de loss
to me. ....
Do you think any of your company
would have missed you if you had been
killed?
Maybe not, sa. A dead white man
amt much to desc sogers: let alone a
dead niger, but I'd missed myself, sa, and
dats despint with me.

PEAcR.-We are no stateSman-no dinIomat;.t-
nothing of the sort, and yet it does seem to plain
man that negotiations might proftably take the
place of strlfe-that words are less harmful than
bullets-that blood and slaughter, devastation and
ruin never can settle justly and amicably the diff
culties between the contending parties. Suppose
the war goes on four years longer-6ve hundred
thousand more men are slaughtered-riyers of blood

feel all its horrors, what then? will the parties to
this unnatural strife love each other any better than
they do now3 Will they be more ready to settle
their difficulties in the spirit of honesty and fair.

sells of moderate men prevails Why not yield
little, if need be, to stop the horrid strife "Bles-

riot in blood for the love Of slaughter and refuse to
do justly that strife may cease, may expect the cur
