The UNITED STATES WANTS AN
IsnAND.-The foreign letter writers
have found mares nest. The
United States Government is said to
feel the want of an island III the
Mediterranean, and has besought the
Sultan of Turkey for one for the pur-
pose of a naval post, for coal, stores.
NC AS such q matter would be con
temptible without concurrent Incl
dent, the chroniclers make out that
the subject of the island has given
rise to much diplomacy, and that
France and England both urge the
Sultan not to give It to Uncle SaM.
In considering the question, however,
we must not forget what the Sultan
owes to England and France for
saving his bones from the Russian
bear, and, furthermore, the cozy hob
nobbing which is constantly going on
between Uncle Sam and the Bear.
The argument seems strongly against
the island, but can Uncle Sam be
kept out?

OMINoUs.-Under the above cap
ton, the Norfolk (Va.) Old Dominion
has the following:
Southern ladies do not talk to
anything like the same extent as in
former years. What does it mean
Are we wrong in CHASING this pheno-
menon among the signs of the times?
We believe it is the result of mys-
terious solemnity that has in the last
few years of trial and mighty events
crept over the world. Levity is not
as widespread. Men and women
look now more in earnest, work
harder, do more towards carrying out
the end of their being. We may be
wrong; but such are our convictions,
in spite OF the wickedness abroad in
the land.'

HORACE GREELBY's HISTORY OF THE
WAR.-The second volume of Horace
Greeley's History of the War has just
appeared. In concluding Il hasty
review of the work the New York
World says:
But with all his shortcomings, Mr..
Greeley is the best historian of the
war as yet-the most valuable in mat
ter, the most diligent, the best in
point of literary execution. Until
he is superseded, We shall have to
consult him, as we do the Tory his
torian Alison for recent transactions
in Europe. We may be vexed by his
lncompleteness and his distortions;
but in what other form so accessible
can we find SO great body of sue
cinctly recited facts? No part of his
tory is so useful, and at the same time
SO difficult to learn, as that which
Immediately precedes our own times.
Able and fastidious men disdain to
build with such imperfect and crum-
bling materials; and the consequence
IS that this portion of history is too
often abandoned to literary hacks and
spiritless compilers. Mr.. Greeley is
a man of uncommon vigor of faculties
and incisiveness of style; and until
somebody shall bring better qualitica-
tlons to the task, we suppose we
must be thankful to him fora history
written 10y q man of talents.

THREArENfD "RA1p'' FROM EAST
TENNESSEE TO VIRGINIA. have
been panied to learn from the Abing-
don pirginiam that state of things
is existing in East Tennessee calcu-
dated to excite the deepest anxiety on
the part of the conservative clement
OF that unfortunate section. For q
time, the liveliest hopes were enter.
tanned that harmony wonld, by de-
grees, be restored, and that those
who had been enemies in war would
again become friends in peace; but
we fear such hopes are destined to be
very short lived. The radical ele-
ment in several Of the Counties of
Upper Tennessee is becoming very
restive, and unmistakable evidences
are being developed that this ever
restive class of citizens are looking
about for q pretext to make a de-
scent upon the former rebel popu-
lation of that section. The pretext
for this movement, which is fast
moving to development, is that the
people of Southwestern Virginia
contemplate movement upon East
Tennessee with the refugees from that
section, to re-instate them in their
now despoiled homes.
The report of q contemplated raid
from Southwestern Virginia into
East Tennessee, says the Virgimian, is
known by the base fabricators of it
to be false, maliciously false, and is
only q ruse adopted by the basest of
the baser sort of men to excite their
less suspecting neighbors, and rein
augurate q system of rapine: murder
and robbery upon innocent men, who
have returned to their homes upon
assurances of protection.

POLITICAL PRospEcrs IN ILLINOIS

POLITICAL PROSPECTS IN ILLINOIS, =
A despatch from Springfield says:
Lette from all parts of the State
bring very cheering intelligence in
regard to political matters. The cam
paign is prospering finely, and the
Democracy and conservatives are
making vigorous fight, and Novem-
Der next will exhibit splendid results
to the astonished radicals. A letter
from Galena says that there will be
heavy Democratic gains in the Third
District, which makes the chances of
Mr.. Washburnes reelection rather
doubtful; also, that in the Counties of
10 Daviess and Stevenson, the Demo
Gratis and conservatives will carry their
County tickets and members of the Lee
gislature. A number of prominent
citizens of this County, formerly Re
publicans, have avowed themselves in
favor of Mr.. Johnson's reconstruction
policy, and declared their intention,
hereafter, to support the Democratic
and conservative ticket. Such occur
rences are now taking place daily
throughout central and Southern Hi
nois. The conservatives and better
portion of the Republican party are
becoming disguised with the out
rageous conduct of the radical lead
ers, and are leaving the party as rats
do sinking ship.

The Attorncy-General, in response to the
inquiry of the President on the subject,
has given an'opinion to the effect that the
President cannot separate the districts for
the collection OF tax on cotton from dis
trlcts for the assessment and collection OF
tax on o9her products. This was the point
which the delegation of Southern cotton
factors and planters presented in their
memorials to the President 4 few days
since: The Secretary of the Treasury has
also denied the applications to have bound
aries Of collection districts changed, on
the ground that it would take longer for
now appointecs to qualify, select and in

The immense emigration to the
United States is beginning to show
ITS effects in the want of laborers in
Europe. This is so true that great
part of the harvesting throughout
Germany has been carried on almost
exclusively by women. Laboring
men were not to be had, and women
were obliged to take the scythe, the
sickle and the pitchfork. But women
have worked more or less in the field

There is in Pekin a s'House with
Chicken Feathers" where houseless
vagabonds may sleep for one mill (the

immense hall, the floor is covered two
or three feet with chicken feathers.
The customers are introduced into
this hall and take the first place they
can find; they disappear in the fea-
theirs as if they were in water. All
ages and both sexes lie pell-mell to-
gether. Over this downy bed hangs
canopy as large as the hall itself !;
the canopy is made of felt, and is
perforated with as many oval holes as
the hall may contain sleepers. When
the hour is struck for the closing of
doors, this canopy is lowered to the
hoor. Every sleeper hastens to thrust
his head through q hole, in order to
breathe fresh air and escape being
sutfocated by the feathers. At the
hour of rising, q gong sounds, and
each sleeper pulls his head out of the
hole, to avoid being strangled by the
canopy, which is pulled up to the
ceiling by blocks and pulleys. This
secures the waking of all the dodgers.
They then go to the Office and pay
their mill for their nights lodgings.

Irelnnd-the Jews-t,,e South.

When we cast our eyes over the world.
and see the complete dispersion of the
Jews among all the nations Of the earth
thick in almost every city, and represented
in almost every town and hamlet it is
amazing to learn, as we do from an Eng
Sllsh paper, that the census of 1861 deve-
lopes the fact that in the Southwest of
ireland, containing population Of nearly
3.0OO,OO0, there were but two Jews, one in
Munster and the other IL Connaught
This fact is, at its first annunciation, sur
prlsing, but the explanation is by no means
difficult. 1t is the poverty of that portion
of Ireland that repels these adventurous
and enterpnslng commercial people In
other portions OF Ireland, where the people
are thrifty, industrious and prosperous,
the Jews are more numerous. Bad Govern
ment has, for centuries, been the curse of
Ireland. mere dependency of England,
her people, full of genius and generous
fervor, are yet wanting in the qualities
OF adaptabiity and ductility. Their genius
Is not Tor practical craftsmanship. They
are deficient in those internal harmonies
without which self-government cannot be
maintained, and are too fond of their own
way to submit cheerfully to foreign rule.
They will neither govern themselves nor
allow others TO govern them. Disquiet
and convulsion appear inseparable from
that seat of genius, wit and ill-directed pa
triotism, and where disquiet and convul-
SION prevail and continue, business can
never prosper. Terrible, indeed must be
the. industrial condition of the portion of
Ireland we have alluded to, when the Israel
ties avoid it. Neither climate, distance,
danger nor any other causes, deter them
from settling in country in which they
can turn penny. Where there are no
Jews, there is no money to be made.
Where there are no rice fields, there are
no black-birds; where there is no wild
celery, there arc no canvass-back ducks:
where there are no wild oats, there are no
sora-so whero there is no trade, there
are no Jews.
We hail their presence in such numbers
IN the Southern States as an auspicious
sign. Instead Of diminishing here, they
have probably increased. In this city, nu-
merous squares-almost entire streets
are monopozed by them. and soberer
steadier, or more Industrious and law
abiding class of population does not exist.
Ihey interfere with no one, mind their own
business, observe their religious cercmo-
mes, and pursue their own peculiar enjoy
ments and .nd;iigences. We hope they
may never 1ave as When they do, we
shall begin to fear that we are given over
to ruin-that what a distinguished cx-
Governor would cali the doom of Dever-
goil' awaits US. If there is to be a new
Jerusalem, let Richmond be the place
