Attempt TO Impair Public Con.
fldence In the Enterprise.

From Chicago Post, August 3d.
A N ATTEMPT HAS JUST BEEN MADE
IA to impair public confdencein the integrity
of purpose of Mr.. Crosby in his great Art Asso-
citation enterprise. Some irresponsible individ
unl, maiiciousy, as 1t would seem. and GER
tainly without any grounds had telegraphed to
several Eastern newspapers that that the peO-
pie here had lost all confidence in the scheme
being carried out. or the prizes ever awarded,
and that certificates were selling on the streets
at about one fourth their original cost, and a
general belief that these allegations were cor
rect might soon have become current The
people in Chicago know that they are not cor
rect. N 10 one has ever expressed the slightest
doubt. either of the integrity of Mr.. Crosby. or
his ability to carry out to the letter the adver-
tised project of the Association. The sale of
the tickets has been. within the past two weeks.
brisker than ever, and never has there been the
slightest indication OF their depreciating in
value. Ia the following card Mr.: Crosby re-
iterutes his ability and determination to carry
out the p AN OF the Association. Mr.. Nickerson
guarantees his undertaking, and the committee
appointed to superintend the awarding of pre-
miums indorse both. The people of Chicago
require no such guarantees. but, on the con-
trary,. the whole city would be ready if re-
CURED TO guarantee both the committee, Mr.,
Nick erson. and Mr.. Crosby himself, who orig-
mated. and who is successfully carrying out the
Art Association scheme.
To the Members of the Crosby Opera House
Art Association:
The sale of certificates in the Association has
already been SO great as to enable me to state
that the distribution of premiums heretofore
announced will be made to their satisfaction. or
the money refunded.

sTHETR NATIOyAL ARR


"A letter from a corresp6 p6Hdeht who MADE
the voyage to England last month in the
Cunard Steamship "Cuba," shows what
pertinacity still exists among Southrons IN
cherishing the idea of adistinct and sepa-
rate nationality: 81 bsl
An incident occurred yesterday at din
ner, which served to illustrate the feelings
which still actuate our Southern brethren
(D, and which also proved that the North
ern people are not still imbued with that
cringiDg servihty to the South which was
once so manifest
When the cloth had been removed, at
the suggestion of Western gentleman,
singing was commenced with "God save
the Queen" Itwas finely rendered by
choir Of gentlemen, and elected rounds of
applause. After it came in due course,
the "Star Spangled Banner" When the
last song was ended, the Southerners sud.
denly broke forth with ''Dixie's Land.D
They had hardly sung three lines before
from all the other tables came torrent Of
Kisses. The ''chivalry,n thus checked, be-
came very angry. They cursed the Yam
KEGS, loud and deep. They swore that
they had as much right to their national
air { : as the damned Yankees had to
theirs that they could not be put down,
&C., &c. Ii the midst of, the excitement
the loyal people of the boat struck up the
'John Brown" song. The noise Of the
clapping, kissing, DC, had attracted the
attention of other Southerners who were
upon the deck; and, learning how affairs
stood, with one accord they rushed into
the saloon, and, as the words, <9it
"John Browns body lies mouldsring in the grave;
His soul is marching on - fs'i l'ir'
foated out upon the air, they joined their
brethren at their table, and all Kissed Wig
orously. But John Browns soul was not
to be stopped: it kept marching on, and
finally the Southerners gave It up, and
listened with suppressed indignation to the
concluding verse;
SNOW three cheers for the Uaioa volunteers p
As they go marching on"
Thus was loyalty triumphant, and trea-
son discomftted. Some of the Northern
people of Copperhead prochyities were
foolish enough to sidle up to the 'Confed-
crates" and deplore- what they termed
'.sueh an unfortunate p affair." but the
majority of the passengers are loyal and
such exceptions are not wortky Of notice.

ing hour after hour listening to the hard
breathing of the sufferer, who seemed to
sink into state of stupor, only moaning
at intervals as he tossed his head from
side to side of the pillow and muttered a
few words, broken and half spoken. The
storm gradually sunk, till the wind quite
lulled; and about three o'clock l half drew
the curtain and looked out upon the sea,
which still tossed fearfully, thought all
above was calm and peaceful light
cloud just drifting slowly past the pale
bright moon. ''7' ~

For some minutes | sat motionless. The
old mans eye had lighted up as he gazed
straight out before him upon the moonft
heavens. His voice seemed to peal through
the silence of the night, till shivered as
he described the wreck then taking place.
To the last word his voice had rung out
loud and resonant; then he sank back mo-
tionless upon the pillow, stained now with
his life-blood and passed softly from the
room, for l knew that his life-bark was
stranded by the sea of death.

CHANGED to meet with it before. f''
When Daniel Webster was delivering
his memorable speech at the dedication of
Bunker-Hifl Monument the crowd pressed
forward to such an extent that some were

Some one asked Mr.. Webster to make an
appeal to them. The great orator came
forward stretched forth his hand, and said
in deep, stentorian tones, "GentIemen,

shouted. "Gentlemen, stand back" said

MALIGNANT CHRIsTIANs.

Some persons pride themselves on be-
ing blunt, or, as they call it, "honest;" but
very blunt people do little good to others
and get little love themselves. The Scrip
lures recommend gentleness and kindness.
There is nothing in all this world of ours
half so mean as vindictive and malig-
nant disposition. Yet many Christians
crafty this spirit, and deceive themselves
with the idea that they are rebuking sin.
Christians should take heed of getting
fond of the work of "rebuking." Such
spiritual constables" do a great deal of
mischief without intending it. They are
in the church what very witty and sar-
castle person is in society, or what
tell-tale is in school; and approximate very
closely to that class which the apostle
terms "busybodies in other mems mat
ters." Such Christians come in time to
be regarded as nuisances in society, con-
stantly to be avoided, and the little
good they may do is thrown away
Our manner must be tender and winning.
The nail of reproof, says an old writer,
must be well oiled in kindness before it is
driven home.-BoSton Recorder.

"HELP WANTED" Help wanted
That is fact We all want help-the
rich, the poor, the betweenlings. We
want it all the time, from the cradle .
the grave. The young, the old, the
weak, the strong, the handsome, the ugly.
1t is the incessant prayer of life. The
poor want riches, the lonely want com
panions, the rich want new qualifications,
the maidens want husbands, the sick want
health. the wicked want peace, the drunk
ard wants rum, the weary want rest. So
it goes In some form or other we want
help. Help for the muscles, the brain,
the heart, the soul, the understanding.
We 90 up and down in the world seeking
for it When we find it, up comes new
call. 1t is always help, more help.
Help wanted.p Of course tits. Want
ed at every house in Boston, New York,
London, Paris, every city and place on
the round globe. 1t is well that it IS so.
Everybody wanting help, makes US help
one another. There is grand philoso-
ply underlying this matter.

WHO ARE ENEMIES or THE UNION
PARTEs

This question is answered by the De-
troit Post, as follows:
They are the men who declared that
secession was not treason.
They are the men who declared that
coercion Of armed rebellion was unconsti-
tutionaL
They are the men who styled Union
soldiers 'hounds,a "6ulldog,sa "hirehngs,"
"Hessians' aud 'fhieves."
b They are the men who threatened g
''fire in the rear" of our gallant Union ar.
mics. 9''' - '1'' z''' 'e
These men opposed the raising of armies
by volunteering.
They opposed the raising of armies by
EconScriptioh.
They opposed and denounced every
measure by and through which the Union
was restored. '-'''
They declared that the Union cause
should not have a man or dollar, if they
could prevent it.
They called the war for the Union an
unholy war.
they denounced Abraham Lincoln as a
'4yrant," ''usurper," ''ape," 'baboon,
''fooI" and ''assassiu."
The opposed allowing our soldiers to
vote; and declared when they did vote,
that their votes were dishonesty cast.
Every rebel in the North belonged to
their party, and does yet.
They concocted conspiraeies in the in
terest Of the rebels.
They organized reasonable societies.
Their followers murdered draft officers
and mobbed draft officers.
Their ''friends" in New York got up
the most disgraceful riot known in Ameri-
can history.
Their most exalted leaders were chosen
| from the worst enemies of the Union in
the North.
Every one of the rebel leaders was a
member of their party.
They declared the war failure; and
that it ought to cease, and went into a
Presidential contest with played-out fail
ure for candidate upon that platform.
Their allies. and agents maintained treas
enable correspondence with armed rebels.
They rejoiced over rebel and mourned
over Union victories.
They opposed the establishment of ma
tional currency, and declared it worthless.
BY every act and article of which un-
armed treason is capable, they injured the
national credit abroad and tarnish the ma
tional honor at home, ,.....
Their party was and is the receptacle Of
every disgraced officer dismissed from the
Union service, or resigned on account Of
lcowardice or incapacity.
To the crime of sneaking treachery they
added the infamy of black ingratitude to
those whose patriotism and bravery saved
them and their sons from conseription.
Ild Their newspaper offices, and none but
theirs, refused to hoist the Union flag, un-
til compelled to do so.
Their last Vice President was a rebel
leader; their last President a conceited
and traitorous coward; and his predeces-
sor was the asthor of letter to the rebel
leader encouraging secession, and pledging
the Northern Democracy to sustain rebel
| lion with arms in case Of resistance to Sc
cession.
And this is the papers and the men who
now have the unblushing eerontery to
charge the party whose eNertions and pol
icy saved the Republic from death, with
ldisunionism.
Do they imagine that the people have
forgotten their misdeeds so soon; or that
they received political amnesty with their
reconstructed" brethren.

TWo PRIsoNERs OF WAR.

The most pleasantly situated individual
we know of is Jefferson DAVIS. He is re-
siding at Fortress Monroe, one of the most
healthy and delightful places inthe world,
surrounded by water and enjoying the cool
breezes which others less fortunate, pay
extravsgaiItly for He has the freedom Of
the Fort his apartments are luxuriously
furnished, his family are with him, shar-
ing his luxuries, and his daily bill Of fare
rivals that of the best hotel Of the continent
As mere matter of form, sentinels are
stationed about his apartment; but tb,t
their footballs may not disturb him eF-Te-
mind him that be is prisoner, mating is
laid down on which they walk. The Of
ficers and men at the place are but little
more than his servants; his friends visit
him that in their society time may pass
pleasantly, and, in fact, whatever the Gov
ernment can do to make his stay pleasant
is done.
We saw yesterday man who was, two
years ago, what the Hon. Jefferson Davis
is now, a prisoner of war. His prison
was situated on sandy, barren plain, from
which the trees had been carefully removed
that they might not shelter him and some
ten thousand of his comrades. His
clothes were taken from him-he was fed
upon rotten meat, spoiled meal, and for
drink he had water, when he could get if,
which hog outside of the prison would
refuse to wallow in. He was kept some
times for days with nothing to eat, and IN
the madness and despair of starvation,
frequently struggled with his fellow suf-
ferers for the possession Of garbage. A
bone gnawed by an officers dog was
priceless, shread Of gristle was a luxury,
and medicines for the sick or decent inter.
ment for the dead were unexpected and
unheard Of. He existed in this he'll upon
earth thirteen months, and came out a
wreck, physically and mentally. This man
was Union Soldier, his prison was An
dersonville, and his keepers starved him
by the express command of the same JET.
