from the Richn ond Examiner; March

The Queen of England's speech (or, rath-
er, Lord Palmerston' to the Parliament
on its assembling, has but one short refer
enc ce to the war on our continent 1t still
persists in giving to tLis struggle the name
of civil war, which is another name for
rebellion; it declares that her Majesty re-
mains "steadfastly neutral" and states
that she "would rejoice at a friendly recon-
ciliation." The word reconciliation, You
observe, is carefully choseu, as havinS no
particular meaning The word would fit
equally we'll any possible termination of the
war, whether by reconstruction, or by q
peace which should acknowledge the indie.
pendence Of the Confederacy. The wh Die
may be taken as mere worda, of course-a
commonplace expression of good wishes to
both parties from distant spectator, and
it is observable that the cold and well.weigh
ed language indicates only one thing very
clearly-that zoe hare not at the end o.
four years war, adranccd one single ster
toioard official recognition. In fact the
words of the speech, as well as the actions
Of the govtrnment, are all decidedly in tha
very same line of "steadsast neutrality
which has heresofore given all its advanta
ges to one side.

in quantities to suit PURCHASERS, and de-
manded the liquois, which was persistent
y refused; whereupon, with axes and
hatchets, they made an Involuntary attack
upon the doors of the establishments, went
IN and rolled the casks out and spilled the
liquors in the strssts. They we're a most
determined set Of raiders The male
portion of the community looked on COM
placently, thinking it matter not CON-

have their own way generally The re-
suit of this raid is the combination of the
whisky sellers, Eho have commenced suit =
against the raiders The better disposed

BR0WNLOW ON RETURNING REBELS.

Those who are in sympathy with re-
turning Rebels are Suddenly enamored of
the virtues of repentance and pardon, and
no parable of the world history has such
attractions for them as the parable Of the
Prodigal Sen. They seem never to weary
in quoting this parable as one of upeqaul-
ed beauty and pathos. tits interesting to
note the points difference between the
prodigal Son and our returning Rebels:
Firs,-Thc Prodigal Son did not secefe;
he went with his fathers consent, and as
the Scriptures indicate, with his blessing.
Next, he rent he did not stay and villiiy
the old mau in his o,cn house. He asked
for something to start him in the world
he did not present. a pistol to the old
mans breast and demand his greenbacks
or watch. He receiged the portion his
father gave him; he did not press ia
modern Southern name for stealing And
receioiag it. he started gu. ''to seek his
fortune" He did not retire 20 the south
side of the old mans farm, and join a
band of robbers who were plundering the
old man, and his w-abiding neighbors.
Receiving lis portion, he duiet]J took hi.
Journey into far country. Finally, he

man 'chpped him into repentance, but
because be "camc to himself" and saw
that he had wasted his substance in riot
Gus living. Ha went back home, not
with murder in his heart, boasting how
many he had killed, and threatning what
he would 30, but he bowed down in hon
es, con,rition, and asked all sorts of par
don. lie didn't return saying, 81 have
fought you four years, and until was
but be went back crying,
: Father | have sinned against Heaven,
and in thy sight. and am no more worthy,
to be called thy son. and imploriagly
said "Make me as one of thy hired SER
wants" He vent home, because.
throughout his entire course of .riotous
living his heart was there He did not
return demanding "rigLts," his property
and back rents. He Gid not ask instant
pardon upon the faith Of an oath of an
amnesty, but proposed to prove his repent.
ance genuine By has aeorks, ,.-......
The story of the Prodigal Son is one of
sincere, deep heartfelt and voluntary re-
pen:ance for great wrong. Do our re.
turning Rebel come repenting of their
unpa relied crimes? As long as rebellion
showed any signs Of success, did they show
any signs Of rep enhance? Are they CON-
ing back because they love the Union, Or
were about TO "pcrisE With hunger All
who return peaceably to their homes, cul.
