The army and Navy Journal, after an examine
ton of the New Orleans enlelste, concludes with
reference to the treatment of the South
1.-The common-sense view is not to force repul-
sYe professions of allegiance down Southern
tbroats, to exact stringent oaths, to take away
property and demand life by way of vengeance,
TO keep clamoriug for the trial of Davis and re-
preaching the South with the failure of its cause.
1t is rather to be generous about the past but
cautions about the future; to forgive ali former
Iapses, but take care that there shall never be any
more with regard to seces ion or slavery.
In So doing it is wise to give the South
ions with regard to the advantages of Sc
cession and slavery, which its opponents have al
tobeIieve that the Southern people, from mere
selfish considerations, could, in twelve month,
reverse the current of their sentiment national
topics is to offer them gratuitous insult and one
which their gallant end obstinate conduct in the
field for four years does not deserve.
The Army and Navy Journal speaks the senti-
ments Of the great masses Of the military
men of the country. The only people who cannot
forgive and trust the South are the Black Republi-
can politicians who neveE saw battle.

stages ana Stage Drivers in New York,

The stage lines are being gradually encroached
upon by the car routes which are being opened.
Another line, the Grand street, has recently been
Withdrawn, as the horse cars are now running
nearly parallel with its old route. Springing on
top of a Madison avenue stage a few evenings
since, remarked in q laughing manner to the
driver: g How do you manage to keep from being
detected in your steang?n He replied good ma
turedlys " 1t is hard work. They keep spoilers
travelling up and down the line all the while, Who
keep account Of the number of passengers who
get 10, and then see if they tally with the reports
which we make at each end of the route" He
added: :" was caught the first week
" had good load Of passengers, most all of
whom got out at Wallack's. There were thirty in
all, SO kept back fare amounting to fifty cents
the next day the boss called to me and said, How
many passengers did you have on yonr first trip
down after supper last night? replied don't
know exactly, but guessed about twenty-five. He
then said DO you want to know how many you
had? Thirty was the number However, as this
is the first otfense will not sack you this time
The very next week | was caught again robbing
two fares.n | could not keep from smiling at the
honest way in which the fellow confessed TO his
peculations. BE continued in the course Of our
conversation; = All the drivers on all the routes
do it. Our boss is an old driver himself and ex-
meets it. We could not live if we did not. / work
from half past in the morning till half past at
night, and get olny fourteen shilings day.
"As we, have to pick up our meals where we can
get them, 81 goes out Of this sum every day for
breakfast, dinner and supper. There are several
women spoilers on our line, who change their
clothes frequently, but we are often able to make
them cut. There is one man spotter' who has
been travelling backward and forth for nearly two
years, until all the drivers know him now, we
are required to make eight trips day, the dis,
lance from Fortysecond street to Wall street
ferry being about four and half miles. We
have three teams to do it with, two of which
make three and one two trips daily. The stages

as high as $50, The total expenses of driving

TIE SKULLS OF TrprERARY.-Some good illus
trations of the res sting powers of a Tipperary
skull were afforded in the case of trial at the
Nenagh Assizes on Thursday. Three mea-Patrick
Lowry, Patrick Stapleton and Timothy Flanagan
were indicted for the manslaughter of Philip
Cahiil. Though the Lowrys and Cahills were
nearly related, bitter feud existed between the
families fGrmore than 20 years, 6 ID had caused
many serious conflicts between lem. On the
I'd Of March last, as the deceased Gnd some of his
friends and relations were returning from a fun.
eral, they were attacked on passing Lowry house
by his dog, at which one of them threw stone.
The Lowrys, men and women, rushed out to de-
fend their canine retainer, and furious fight en-
sued, in which the deceased was killed as was
alleged by his friends by the blow of a srocin
The Lowrys, on the other hand, said that the
Cahills were the aggressors--that they threw
stones at the windows, and called out for Lowry
the traitor;n and on bis going out fell on him en-
masse even Mrs. Stapleton daughter of old
Lowry and wife of one of the prisoners, to whom
she had only been married a fortnight), being
kicked in the stomach and struck on the head
with stone. The jlerceness OF the contest may
be estimated from the evidence of a medical gem
tleman, who stated that the prisoner Lowry had
twelve cuts on his head and one fracture of the
skull. Mrs Flanagan, mother Of the prisoner,
whom he found walking about the house as if
nothing had happened, had more serious frac-
ture of the skull than that of Lowry's head. Mary
Stapleton, the bride of the prisoner, had severe
cut upon her head, The servant girl had a black
eye, and a severe cut on her head.
Philip Cahill, the father, had fracture at each
side of the head and William Cahill had finger
broken. The wound which caused the deceased's
death was fracture of the right temple, the bone
Of which was driven in an inch deep, and yet he
lived four days. All the prisoners were conv cted
but recommended to mercy. They and the wi
nesses, both male and female, were IS splendid
specimens of the Irish peasantry as could po5si-
bly, be selected. One of the prisoners, and te
father and the brother Of the deceased, were all
more than six feet in height Mrs. Stapeton, The
daughter of the prisoner Lowry was lully six feet
high and exceedingly handsome; all were com
fortably clad. The parties engaged in this lament
able ARRAY were substantial farmers

The Crops.

The cool nights Of last week have had. as
we understand bad effect upon the crops
which were before unpromising. Bad stands
OF cotton, rust in the " heat, corn bac kysrd.
are common reports in this vicinity. We are
apprehensive that the prospect throughout the
entire South is unusually unfavorable. The
Southern Cnltivator which has ample means of
Information, and which, by the way, is mos,
excellent agricultural journal, speaks as follows
OF the general prospect
THr CRcss.-The probability is that the
wheat crop throughout the Union will be con.
sideraby less than full one. 1t will be consid
erably diminished at the South bv rus, bes de.
the injury sustained by the severe winter at
the North it suffered greatly in many sections
from the latter cause. Corn though backward
looks well.
Winter Oats were badly killed out last win.
ter, and are a very short crop IN this section.
Cotton, we hear bad accounts of fro every
quarter. Bad seed, planted in wet weather,
hurried and Indifferent preparations, hail storms
and beating rains make the prospects of the
growing crop very gloomy,
