A lesson from the prize Ring.

The result of the mill between Barney
Aaron, Esq, of this city, and Samuel Collier,
ESD Of Baltimore, was given in Wednesday
Evening Express. We presume our readers
do not care to have the various (47) Grounds
served up to the extent ola couple OF columns IS
or so, this warm weather, and so we let all
that go,-for the benefit of the sporting pa
ners and such journals as the Independent.
Possiblv the coupling of that quasi religious
weekly with the sporting papers, par excel
lance. NAV occasion some su prise,-but why
sho,,id It. seeing that its columns in almost
ovprv issue are literally crammed with fight"
Gts ANTAGONISTS, it is true, are not the Sam.
Golfers, nor the Barney Aarons, (6rawny
fellows who are abundantly able to take care
of themselves.) but the now non-resstnS
popuiation of the South?
Yet there is in this noticeable difference be-
tween the pugilism of the ring, and the pu-
giism of this religious weekly The Barney
Aarons and the Sam Clliers would be
ashamed to hurt a man when he Is DOWN;
When their antagonist cries "hoid enough
and throws up the sponge, another act OF nos
tlity after that, would be equivalent to KICK
iug Barney or Sam out of the ring. lhere
is a sort of chivalry prevailing among people
of their class, which forbids the taking OF all
such mean and unmanly advantages. Not
SO with your politico-religous pugilist. His
antagonist .,hrew up the sponge fifteen
months ago or more, and though in all that
time he has been crying out "enough" the
bruisers of the ''Independent" school have not
ceased to cripple him more and more. There
is big crowd of Democrats and Conserva-
tives looking on and crying SHAME" but,
unhappiy, that is all they can do to stop it,
for the Independent crowd have possession
of the ring, the ropes, the stakes, the bottle
holders, the referees, and everything else

There is not a respectable member of the
PR. in all this land that would not be
ashamed of the profession, if any of its mem
hers were to act as the Radical boxers and
bruisers are acting towards their long ago
subdued antagonists. Barney Aaron and
Sam. Collier would have cut their company
long ago in disgust.

An evening paper expatlates on the enmlty
and overbearing superciliousness evinced by
our fellow citizens at the South towards us
before and since the war. These sentiments
are attributed to pride and prejudice, to an
inorduate craving for political power 1t is
asserted that the South ever has been and
that fault As good fellowship between all
parts Of the country depends upon candor,
this charge deserves consideration.
1t will not be denied that the prosperity of
the South rested manly upon its monopoly
Of the important staples Of cotton and tobac-
co; or that it was the universal conviction
throughout the territory which produced
them that the peculiar institution was essen
tial to their culture. 1t will be admitted that
there had long existed very general feeling
in the northern States, that this institution
was not only an outrage on the rights of hui
manity, but by consolidating party action
that it gave the South an undue control of
the government.
1t is idle to say we respected the constitu-
tlonal restraints against interference in the
private affairs of other States, when press,
pulpit, and rostrum rung with ceaseless de-
nunclations against slavery. That this war
fare should have engendered hate was natoral
and inevitable. We are no advocates of
slavery, nor is it our present purpose to cast
reproach upon abolitionists; but we do depre-
cate, now that sanguinary conflict has re-
moved this cause of contention, the DISPOSE
ton to crowd high, spirited people, who
have made desperate and gallant defence
OF what they enormously conceived to be their
rights What is the use? 1t can only per-
petuate dislike, which the valor of our troops
had gone far to change into respect and affec-
ton, to the interruption of our Intercourse
and peril of the State.-[ Boston Evening Com

A letter from London, written in the
height of the panic in May, says:
Cotton is in everybody's mouth and on
eVerybodys brain; it sticks to their clothes,
waits on them at meals, attends them in their
drawing rooms and follows them to bed. And
great is the CONSERVATION among his subjects
here, big and little buyers and sellers, agents
owners, spectators For Bismarck is obsti-
nate and Austria is arming, and Garibaldi
and Victor Emanuel are getting ready to take
their share of the spoil, and the mysterious
oracle at the Tuilleries stands with finger
on nose, but has not yet spoken. 1t was bad
enough, they say-the holders-that the
South should have saved so much cotton but
Il, while this market is glutted, war were to
break out on the Continent, then truly the
nomination of desolation spoken of by the
prophet would be at hand Sell all you have
LOCK up your money, trust no one, the wary
Try out for the storm will burst in June and
general wreck will follow.

a letter to Washington, dated July %,
in which he says he shall attend the
Philadelphia Convention if his health
permits. In his letter he says No
man can more cordially approve and
indorse the objects of that Conven-
ton than myself, and yet from conside-
rations of expediency l doubted the pro
priety of my taking part in it, Personal
interests have no influence with me
whatever. Had been governed by
personal feelings l should have had
nothing to do with the late troubles,
further than entering my protest against
them, so that while it should seem that

ought to have gone out long ago. He
has now respite from public duties un-

BROWNING of Quincy, Illinois, who has
been identified with the Republican
party since its organization, and who

Mr. BROWNING is well known in the
West. He began his political career as
a member of the Illinois Senate in 1887,
and after serving in that body four years,
was prominent member of the House
for two sessions. In l843 he was can
didate for Congress against Judge DoUo-
LAS, but was defeated. He was a dele
gate in the Chicago Convention which
nominated LINCOLN in 1860, and in June,
1861, was appointed by Governor YATES
to fill the vacancy in the United States
Senate caused by the death of DoUGLAs.
OF His fitness to succeed Secretary HAIR

administration of the affairs of that De-
partment, great reforms are not inau-

INSULTS TO THE PRESIDENT

BRowNLow has not enjoyed the felicity
of seeing his vulgar dispatch to BIYG
HAM applauded by the Radical press
Even the St. Louis Democrat condemns
it. But it had different fate in the
lower House Of Congress. 1t was pub
licly read as part Of the proceedings
and applsuded by the representatives (2)
of the people There is nothing in his
tory like it, and there probably never
will be. There is no malice supposed to
exist in Christian heart But whatever
irritation one protesting the Christian
character may feel, he is supposed to
have acquired mastery over it-a power
to lock it up in his bosom Even the
hypocrite can do that And so when the
world sees naked profession Of virtue
unattended with corresponding acts,
it is at no loss in locating the
pretender Give my compliments to
the dead dog at the White House." was
spoken Of the President Of the United
States, 10 the representatives (2) of the
people, by one who claims to be the Gov
ernor of the State of Tennessee. Truly
this is a model republic In the days Of
LINCOLN, who would have dared to utter
such language TO such a Congress
Then the President was omnipotent,
Congress his instrument and Governors
his play things Such message would
then have sent the utterer 10 some bas-
tile. II would have been reasonable,
and the traitor would have tasted the
utmost sweets OF solitude. That dispatch
should have been kicked out of the House
and spit upon By every member pre- sent.
Received and fead as it was, we have
the spectacle of one department
of the Government offering deliberate
insult to another-the more deliberate
because Of its coarseness The people of
the South forgot for moment the pres
sure oftheir wrongs, to be ashamed of the
Government that wrongs them. In all
the communications the President has
sent to Congress, he has observed the
high courtesies of an official gentleman,
and has, in no instance, reflected upon
the motives of that body. UnOficially he
has expressed himselfrsther warmly, but
that is to be forgiven. There is no pallia-
ton for the studied insults Of the House

assumed to be great landed proprietor,
and promised the SAVIOR of the World
'as far as he could see, if he would fall
down and worship him. Some men of
our day assume by the right of might to
be extensively interested in real estate
in the South. They have proposed to
transfer it into the hands of strangers
on the condition suggested by the said
lion. The beast had no title, and these
men have none They are trespassers /;

cost in dress than simple elegance and
economy. lie Toilet, in its summary OF
fashions, makes this noteworthy state
ment; We are happy to announce de-
cided reaetionary movement toward
simplicity of attire There can be no
question that luxury of dress has, Of
late, been INDUCED to an alarming ex-
cess. 1t is, therefore, gratifying to OBJ
serve that the leaders of fashion now
show decided inclination TO allow the
iudciously elegant to replace the merely
extensive.
