ScoTCHED, BUT NOT KILLED.-The vi per,
secession, has been scotched, but not killed.
Whoever believes that the Southern mind
has been exercised of the demon which pre-
cipitated the country into a fearful civil war
is sadly mistaken, and may one day be ava
kened to a consciousness of the delusion.-
Henry A. Wise, in recent lecture at Norfolk,
gave utterance to the following sentiment,
and we doubt not he met with warm ap-
plause:
These oaths are not necessary, and can
not accomplish any good result. They but
promote perjury, hypocrisy, and general de-
moralization, and being the condition
precedent of even making an application for
pardon, they are an absurdity and q crime.
4 man must swear, not before he is pardon
ed but before he can ever ask to be pardon
ed. In the kingdom of grace, who ever heard
of such monstrosity2 And pardon! For
what to be pardonod? For himself he could
ash no pardon, fer the reason that lie had COM
mitted no offence fer tohich to be pardOned The
asking for pardon admitted guilt, and for him
self he ecas conscious Of no guilt. He had obeyed
those foho had the right to c0mameand 1t aO0s
not for him to decide nhether there acGs good
cause to fight. Virginia caL'ed him to the.fe1d
of blood, and duty demanded that he should
obey that call"
We call the attention of Judge Underwood
to this reasonable Rtterance of Wise. and it
may he hoped that he will he indicted and
tried along with Davis. The impudent trail
tor should not be permitted to strut about
unwhipped of Justice If he were convicted
of treason, and under sentance of death for
his crime, we will venture the prediction that
his pride would he humbied, and that he
would sue for pardon on his knees if requir-
ed to do so. At any rate he should be put
to the proof WashsastoR Chronicle.

while on his way to this city was severely
felt by him. and within few weeks he has
been very ill with the prevailing diseases in
this city. He is striving manfully to retrieve
his fallen fortunes, takes no part in Mexican
