A Leaf from Al Koran.

There was, during the days of the Confed-
eracy, jest which went round camp fires,
and was discussed at head quarters--a Joke
which even penetrated the rural districts, and
gave rise to much gay talk. 1t was the story
that after the ratification of that famous treaty
of peace, which never came, a law was to be
enacted legalizing polygamy. &i'o.
There was grim meaning underlying the
pleasantly: it looked to the day when the
male population, by battle and disease, would
be still more frightfuIly reduced THAI before.
The peace contemplated by the testers, many Of
whom sleep on the field where they fell never
came; and the very popular scheme ceased te
furnish topic fer facetious argument or
pleasant laughter But the idea is gaining
ground abroad with amazing rapidity. The
nineteenth century seems determined to Dor
row chapter from the Koran, and the SEN
sual religion of the Orient is advancing
in western Europe.

Now we hear great deal about the "Bar-

fit for professor at the university of Lee

exchanged the scalpel for the sword the
mortar for the ordnance of the Revenue Ma
rine; and converting sanitary necessity into
military one, have, according to the Herald,
"taken possession of the State lands at Sc
gums Point Staten Island, for cholera hospi-
tails" The capture was effected by COM
bined movement of 'seven Revenue cutters, y
| and heavy detachments of the Metropolitan
police, detailed on this great enterprise from
the various wards of the city of New York.
The history of this affair shows lis that it was
conducted according to the most approved
principles laid down in HALLEcK's "Art of
War;" and the natives Of that barbarous re-
gion known as Seguin's Point, were surprised
before they had an opportunity to carry out
their threat of burning the buildings which
have been appropriated for hospital uses.
The landing was effected in handsome style
and good order, under the guns of the 'Cayu-
ga and the native Segmn' ans, to the number
of thirty, fell back, "full of strange oaths,' to
their respective habitations -
In view of the success OF this enterprise, the
Herald urges the Government to take posses
sion of Sandy Hook, and argues that the pub
lie safety justifies the act. This mat

iy called fizzle, i'll its humorous aspect.
Some have looked at it from the humanitarian
point of view, and expended columns oEcheap
sympathy and quasi rebuke upon the mad
enterprise. Some have found in this sudden
expression of pent-up bitterness. salntary
warning to the Radicals, and have pointed
out to them the plain truth that their policy
is calculated to make the South second Ven
etia--a second Poland-a second Irish Re-
public"
| But, they have all, without exception, over
looked one very significant fact, and one very
reasonable probability. The fact of which
We speak is this, and it's one certainly worthy
the attention of American statesmen, so call
ed. We say so called, because we have very
sad reason to believe that those entitled to this
name are few in number. The fact, however,
to which we attach 50 much Importance, is
this There are hundreds of thousands Of citi-
zens of the United States, within the limits of
the so-caled loyal parts thereof, who cherish
and avowi a passionate attachment to another
nationality, to wit: the " Irish Republic.
The force of this suggestion is, not weak tened

istence. -, s.....E.f
| The 1rish-Americans are still Irishmen,
and their allegiance to this Government, so far
as the Fenians are concerned, does not prevent
their indulging in bold ihfraction of the
laws for the avowed purpose of resuming
4 their original nationality, We simply state
the fact without following up the train OF
thought which it suggests, Our present pur-
pose is to deal with what we have justly char
acterized as a reasonable probability" We
foresee that the Radical element will at once
endeavor to seize upon the action of Mr..
JOHNSON in this matter, in order to inflame
this large element of voting population against
him and his Administration, upon the ground
that he has stood between them and the real
ization of their wild but beautiful vision.
