SOUND AND sENsIsLK Views

Gradually, glimmers Of common sense are
irrsdisting the Southern mind, and ere long,
it is to be hoped, that the entire South may
be illuminated.
In recently published letter, the Hon. J.
P. Boyce, at one time member Of Congress,
at Washington, and since prominent rebel
leader, holds forth to his constituents upon
this fashion:
AS have visited the North several times
since the war, have had some opportunity Of
judging the feeling Of that people. I sm certain
thai they have disposition to keep up agitation,
an - gladly see peaccable times as we.
But tLe5 al .st' hey have gained the victory
and are resolved mol to lose its fruits.
The psrty OF Congress has not only bad the
majority bat has been continually on the increase
More than this, large number, even Of their op-
ponsnts, have thought it the wisest course sc
could pursue TO make the best terms possible. It
was ON account Of my knowledge OF these facts
that urged, 10 squict way. upon the members
Of the State Legislature, and the Executive. the
adoption Of the constitutional amendment, re-
jected last winter.
syn States rejected this amendment. In cou.e-
qnsnce OF this action, Congress has made more
stringent terms Jet, even here they have gone
far ~ they could have, nor as far .. they will
surely 70 II these terms not accepted. What
prevented them, In reconstrncting the State, from
recognising only such voters could take The
test oath. Had this bssn done. not more than
one-fftieth Of the white males Of the State could
have voted Under their present plan forty nina
cut Of cry can DO So,
1.-THE effort Of the military, q. present, Is to con.
eiliase. Let them know that consultation Il
spurnsd, and let the public opinion Of the North
declsre that We deserve mercy, and We shall gel
none. As far ~ the action Of Congress 10 con
eerned, II We yield to their present scheme, ,h'
Republican party must admit the South, or IL vii
iese lie power With the people"

sheep worth 81, 600 900, destroyed yearly by
that individual pet, the dog. That this Iesti
mate is within the truth. may be seen From
the number repor;e3 and paid for by law in
Chic, which amounted in Eve years TO 203,

mated by the Secretary of the State Agrcul-
tural Society, a, %. 600 in year.
Unfortunately for the sheep, the dogs have
votes, While the sheep have not. That is,
the Representatives of the people know
that there are ten men who would be enraaed
by dog lax and would govern their votes by
no higher consideration, where there is one
farmer who would allow few dead sheer
more or less to control his public duty. o.
course it is only the more degenerate and
NANCY class OF ours that enjoy the right oil
political citizenship, with the consequent civil
right Of killing their nelghbors sheep. De
cent dogs pay their taxes cheerfuliy or change
places Il they cannot afford il, content therr
selves with such bones as they can honestis
come BY. aud never aspire to dictate the votes
of their masters and the policy of the govern
ment But for ours of low degree this is a
free country. where one dogs vote is as good
as another's and better too.

The fact that JEFF. Davis received informa.
ton of the assassination of President Lin
coin, by means Of telegram from Breckin-
ridge, seems TO be quoted as proof that he
had no previous knowledge Of the intention
Of the assassination. We do not see the
force of the proof in that direction, but pub
lish it as curious item brought out in the
testimony taken under the authority Of
Congress.
1 Davis was making speech at Charlottes-
vile, North Carolina, when the following
dispatch was handed to him, which he read
TO the crowd.
GREENSBORO, April 10, 1855.
"His Excelleney, President Davis:
President Lincoln was assassinated in. the
theater, in Washington, the night Of the 18th
inst. Stewards house was entered on the same
night, and be was repeatedly stabbed, and is
probably mortslly wounded.
"JoHS c, BREcKERIpeE"
Mr.. Bates, who was his friend, and with
whom he was stopping, testified that when
Breckenridge arrived, Davis said to lin: "Well
General, don't know if it were to be done
at all, il were better that it we're we'll done !
and If the same had been done to ANDY JoHs.
son, the Beast, and TO STANTON, the j3b ,rotfid
then be complete" Which shows an unfeel-
ing, malicious, vindictive satisfaction in the
murder OF Lincoln, and bloodthirsty regret
that others did not also fall victims to the as.
sassinstion plot.
