THE NORTHERN BUGBAoos.-Oysters,
tcrrapin and souscd pigs feet arc very
succulent and very delicious at proper
seasons. Discussed gastronomically, in
the region of midnight, "whcn church
yards yawn and graves give up their
dead" the auspiciousness Of such "inter-
nal improvements is at best questiona-
Bile. T,s.o reckless men who thus indulge
cannot complain if nightmare, incubus,
terrors tremendous and fantastical, assail
their thorpy pillows. When to the per-
.niciousness of such ediblcs is added a
rancid conscience, vorily and indeed we
commiserate the nocturnal horrorsof bad
men intent on evil In such catalogue
we have to include Benjamin Wade, the
fangless but snappish Senator from Ohio.
Ben recently partook Of late supper of
the above description and had a dream.
Like Byron, in his poem of Darkness"
he insists that it was not all dream.
Everybody, protesting sanity and know
ing the ba1cful effect of soused pigs feet
on an elderly digestive apparatus, laughs
at Mr.. Wade's apparition, but the vener-
able mastiff sticks to his story and will
not be denied The Abolition and ia
cobinical journals and their satellites
chime in with the grooming of Senator
Ben and smell four and twenty elephpn-
tine mice. 1t will bo seen from extracts
in the news column of this paper that
smcn in gray" have been circumambula-
ting, brigand like, the room of Senator
Wade and under the walls Of Fortress
Monroe. Senator Sumner comes in for a
share of the nightmare, and there is the
deuce to pay up North. For our part,
we believe Mr.. Wade's attempted assassi-
nation by big Rebel, Mr.. Davis at
tempted escape by the aid of several big
Rebels and Mr.. Summers admonition by
another big Rebel, nothing in the world
but sensational fol-de-rol, powerfully as
sisted by a diabolical habit of eating
souse atroystering hours. All, the sword
of Damocles is no fable; it still hangs by
O. single hair above the heads of wicked.

Was surprise aud victory. When the history oil
the late war is written General Jackson will take
his place among the greatest generals of modern
times. These verses were found, stained with
