S N.s has given brief but faithful sketch OF
pNA .,,,orv agitation, which eliminated in 1860
u' obstruction of the federal Union
" has brought out new fact in history to
,h,t Judge Douglas deeply regretted his agen-
n tbe repeal Of tho Missouri restriction. 1t is
e.,..t however, that Mr.. Douglas was induced to
s, the repe.l of this restriction by the solemn
u,0 ~;ss made him by the secession agtators, that
vn monld do this and thereby establish the doc
~ n confederation as to all the territories,
,.. would be content and would cease to agitate
n,t thew deceived him, for no sooner had he done
ibis than they changed their ground, and through
W. yapcy and others at Charleston demanded Con
,,sssonal Intervention. If this point had beer
s;.,dsd and if the Democratic party had succeeded
!, 1860 and the Union bad been preserved up tt
1ss1 thew would have demanded of the next ma
sOnal convention an endorsement of the African
slave trade. They were determined to disrupt tn
Union, and they used the slavery question in every
shape in which they could present it, in order t.
effect that result
Mr.. Dicks argument against the policy Of arm
ing the slaves, is conclusive. And that portion o
bis remarks embracing the dialogue between tn
ambassador and the premier, contains the truth 40
nrably expressed. The conclusion Of the speec,
will touch all hearts by the eloquent appeal Wh'c'

The Insoleuce of Office.

We learn that on Sunday night last COL J. P. H.
Suss, of this City, stepped into the Office Of the
Provost Marshal with F. G. Foster, Esq, of this
county, to state to the Provost that he knew Mr.
roster and to request him to furnish him with .
passport The Provost gave direction to have the
passport made out, observing that there were some
persons on whose authority or recommendation he
'Oulq not grant passport; and without being
asked who those persons were, he said he would
"0' grant passport to any one who might be
'0uched for by Holden or Pennington. Col. Russ
promptly replied that he endorsed Pennington and
n0lden, whereupon the Provost directed his assis-
S0' not to make cut the passport. Col. Parker,
%' e0mlnandaat of the post was then appealed to-,
'u' declined to interfere on the ground that the

The death OF this sstimable lady will be heard
with regret by the largo circle of her friends and

The Affections of war fell heavily upon her. Her

GRANT IN WASHINGTON. Grant was in
Washington on the 18th, but was expected to leave
"for tie front" on that afternoon The Yankee
papers toll US that he was received with marked
honors" A despatch from Washington says:
Lieutenant General Grant, accompanied BY Sc
veral friends, went into the ball of the House this
morning. As soon as he was noticed crowds Ga.
thersd around him. The House took . recess Of
five minutes TO pay their respects 20 him. The
members thronged around him, and were formally
introduced to him. There were frequent outbursts
of applause from the floor and from the galleries.
General Grant was then invited bI the Speaker
to the stand, when the latter said:
Gentlemen-I have the honour to. introduce to
YOU our heroick defender in the field the Lieutsn
ant General of the armies Of the United States U.
S. Grant
The introduction was succeeded by another out
burst of applause from the floors and galleries.
General Grant bowed in honour of the compll-
ment; and, after short pause, retired from the
stand, the audience spplauding as he withdrew.
Grant could not have been very imposing in his
manner or appearance, for, after leaving the Ssnate
the following interspersed the proceedings:
Mr. Salisbury, (Delaware) said that b. had seen
General Grant for the first time, this morning, on
the floor of the Senate, and it seemed to him (Mr.
Salisbury thi: the President had made great
mistake in appointing him to that high position"
That man who didn't know how to cut q swell
better than he ought not to Be Lieutenant General
Why, there wasn't Lieutenant of the Home Guard
in the State of Delaware that couldt keep up bigger
style than this man whom the Prssident.hsd inju.

wasn't Lieutenant or Provost Marshal that Mr..
Stanton sent down to keep the people of Delaware

"NEwSPAPER POETRY"

- NEWSPAPER POETRY"
Nm ED1roR 1T has long been the Custom to
use the words Newspaper Poetry" in dispsraging
sense just - We now frequently hear ths"word
" Confederate" applied toa great many things.-l
The idea intended to be conveyed by these terms
is that it is something inferior, If not worthless.
Thus to say Of article, It's Confederate make,
means, or is intended to mean. it is Of little no
value; and to say of = poem, ITS newspaper

same kind Of articles We used to get 4" from the

some excellent manufactures. am also aware
that there is great deal Of Newspaper Poetry"
that is the veriest doggerel-perhaps majority of
one general sentence Of condemnation upon it all.

great IDEAS expressed in language equal to the
thoughts and ideas, $50 far as language is capable
of expressing them.) what matters it whether it be
published in gilt edged volume with Turkey Mo-
rocco binding, or in newspaper, Gilt cages and
morocco bindings are frequently made use of to sell

These reflections occurred to me ON the.perusal
of poem in your paper Of Feb. 9Th, entitled "Pit
and Pendulum" BY Theo. II. Hill, Esq, which I
regard as one Of the finest productions of poetic
genius that have seen for long time.
The conception is grand and tho execution is
almost equal to the conception The idea that
"There is golden chain
Binding our planet to the Throne Of God"
is sublime; and almost terrific is the conception
that the earth, suspended by this chan is swinging
like pendulum over dread abyss. into which it
may be plunged by some $ malignant demons sun.

i In quoting these lines do not intend to endorse
the sentiment they entertain for l. do not belisv

"fathom an apostate's hell" I quote them merel
to show the mastery expression Of the conception
