Mr.. Greeley, again.

WASHINGTON, ID. u, June a, 1857.
To the Editor Of the Press: i
see by my last paper that the Press thinks
Mr.. Greeley has simply done foolish thing
which will hurt no one but himself" i can as
sure you the masses and the soldiers especially
think and feel differently, and his course will
hurt "the cause he has served so long," unless
repudiated by the Republican party. 1t
1t is a deep and gross insult to the soldiers
of the Union army, and the Republican party
1t was uncalled for and can accomplish no good
to the party or the nation. It cannot be viewed
in the light of christian benevolence or forgive
ness. Davis should have been fairly tried for
treason, found guilty and condemned, and
then if the Government saw fit to pardon him =,
very well; very few, if any, wanted his miser-
able neck stretched. But if he was to go scot
free, in heavens name let Frank Pierce and
his Copperhead friends furnish him bail Mr..
Wendell Philips has placed Mr. Greeley's
course in this matter in its true light, and the
light in which most of the Republican masses
view it. hope Mr.. Greeley will politely bow
himself off from the National Republican Com
mittee. He is at liberty please and fawn upon
Southern rebels, but he cannot lead the Union
party. His course is calculated to destroy it.
Mr.. Greeley cannot be made martyr for his
course, for say what we will, and seek to cover
it up as we may, the leading Southern rebels
are more rebellious now than at
any time since 1860. They would renew
tho struggle again to-day if they thought they
could succeed, and it will take generation to
get it out of them. Mr. Greeley ought to know
them better. They are not to be trusted. But
I will say no more now. H. p svO53

D. Appleton s. Company, New York, repub-
lish "Bible Teachings in Nature" a volume of
essays by the Rev. Hugh Macmillan. The OBJ
tject of these papers, which have appeared from
time to time in various foreign religious maya
zines, is, as the author tells us in Lis preface,
ito show that the teaching of Nature and the
teaching of the Bible are directed to the same
great end that the Bible contains the spiritual
truths which are necessary to make us wise
unto salvation and the objects and scenes of
nature are the pictures by which these truths
are illustrated" The essays are sixteen in
number, and treat of such subjects as "Pleiades
and Orion" '1ce- Morsels," "Grass," Corn
Fading Leaves" "No More Sea" &C., SC The
last, and in some respects, the most striking pa
per in the volume is upon ''The Law Of Circu-
larity, or Retrogression an Essential Element
of Progress" The author writes in vivid
and eloquent style, while his genuine love of

ness of his convictions compel at once the in

Two CHILDREN BURIED IN sAND.--In our
issue of Tuesday we mentioned that lad
named Freddie Golden, about five and a half
years old, had been missing since Saturday
night, and the last that was seen of him he
was in company with another lad about year
older, named John Charlton. Last evening
the bodies of both lads were found buried in
the sand ON Munjoy. The boys had been seen
playing at the edge of the bank of sand, and
the thought came over the father of Charlton
that they might be found there, and he started
for the place. Meantime, Mr.. George C. Riley
had been digging at the bank, the same thought
having come into his mind, and just as Mr..
Charlton came up he had discovered one-of the
bodies. The other was found soon afterward
One of them was covered with sand to the
depth of six feet, and the other was but little
more than one foot. 1t would seem that they
were playing near the face of the sand bank,
when it suddenly slid and covered them.
Coroner Hall was called, but, after learning
all the circumstances, deemed an inquest I'M
necessary.

brought before the Commissioner yesterday, on a
complaint charging them with robbing John Merrill,
masterof schooner Mary Jane, of Piitston, of 800
on the night of the 4th of June.
The complaint charges the men with breaking, en-
tering and robbing the vessel in the night time
WEIGH and Lahey were arraigned and pleaded not
guilty. Reed has not been arrested.
The captains testimony was that the defendants,
employed board the vessel asked permission to go
ashore to the circus, and wanted some money. He
divided So among them, saying that he could give
them no more without breaking $40 bill The men
appeared to be satisfied, and went ashore. After
dark they returned intoxicated accompanied by two
strangers who pretended to be police officers. The
strangers said the men had been arrested for an Of
fence committed on shore, and would be allowed to
go clear for money. Read drew knife, and one OF
them fourshed marling and threatened the
life of the captain Under intimidation Capt Mer-
r gave up the $50 BILL and all the parties left the

The defence introduced testimony that there was
an arrangement made by which the strangers who
were officers of British vessel, should accompany
the to their vessel and get the money due them
on the preence that the latter had advanced money
TO relieve them from arrest, and the men should re-
turn and ship board the British vessel; and that

New YORK CIRoUs.-This great establish
ment, from the Hippotheatron in New York,
gave their first two exhibitions in this city yes
terday afternoon and evening, and attracted
crowded audiences. A large class of our citi-
zens who do not make it practice to visit ex-
hibitions of this character, was present; in
fact the elite OF the city were there.
This establishment, under the management
Of Col. Lent, has obtained the reputation of
being the best in the Union, and well does it
deserve it, The pavilion is large and airy; the
the equestrian and acrobatic performances of
the first class; the horses are specimens of
beauty and all the appointments are of the
best kind. Joe Pentland, the clown, is witty
without being vulgar, and the modesty and
sensibility of no one is offended by any remark
of his The order maintained is equal to that
of any first class theatre, and the attendants
are polite and obliging. It was the general
remark after the close of the performance yes
terday, that we never before had in this city
circus exhibition where the performances were
SO good and where there was such good order
There is no necessity for particularizing per-
formers where every one did so we'll Col
Lent has been at great pains and expense in
securing the best artists, and he has made his
establishment take rank among the first
places of amusement in New York He al
lows no side shows to travel with his company
in their summer tour-which is a popularity
with this establishment.
There will be performance at 1-2 o'clock
this afternoon. which will afford a good oppor-
tunity for parents to take their children. The
closing performance will be given this evening
Saturday evening they perform in Lewiston,
which is the only other place in the State
which they will visit, and we can assure our
friends in that city that a rich treat is in store
for them. Next week the company perform in
Canada, where they will remain seven weeks,
and then return to New York.

Mr.. EDrroR:-It is not astonishing that the
uncouth, but none the less worthy yeoman,
the son of toll and the free and easy, rough
and tumble fellow, or the drunken rowdy
should make his entrance and exit noiseless at
public assemblies or places of amusement, nor
that between each act they should go out to
smile" or before the close of the play make a
Gathering rush for the door, to the annoyance
of the audience, although we wish it were 9th
erwise. But it is surprising that those claiming
to be gentlemen of good society, and whose
presence the ladies apparently delight in, should
do such things. If person goes to place of
amusement, and especially with ladies', he
ought to keep his seat, and not be bobbing up
and round, or out half dozen times during
the evening. Refinement is not always an ac-
compartment to position of wealth or sta
ton. MANNEBs.

CLEAR THE SIDEwALKs.-The east side of
Exchange street against the Post Office build
ing is now impossible, and may be, for many
months. The street authorities, if they under
stand their duty, and would attend to it, could
very much improve the sidewalk ON the Vest
side, which now has to carry double travel.
Another point-State Constables are said to
be necessary when the local officers do not at
| tend to their duty. Shall we have to get a
State Constabulary to clear our sidewalks of
the multitudinous barricades of baby wagons,
bedsteads, garden roots, and every sort of
truck that the shopkeepers see fit to put out of
doors?
While the streets were in ruins, we had to
bear great deal of obstruction in the side
walks. To-day, you can see police officers
picking their way carefully through the goods
and wares of the shopkeepers, piled up on the
sidewalks. Let us have a State Constable to
clear our highways. y Nh ***

THEATRICAL CRITIcIsM.-The Argus seems to
be very irritable about b. +. LowelPs dramatic
company. and pitches in vigorously with its
critical pen and walls lamentably over the alb
sence of an orchestra during its stay here. Al
though good orchestra is desirable, yet, so
far as our observation goes we have yet to find
one person who attended the theatre each even
ing but what was perfectly satisfied The piano
was an excellent one, and the playing was fine
and much enjoyed; some have said they were
glad of the change. The Wallack and Daven-
port Combination is the best ever here, and the
playing indispensable, and it is as plain as can
be that there is some spite in the criticisms of
the Argus. Mr.. Lowell is deserving of great
praise and encouragement for bringing out
such a company and such fine plays as he has,
and We hope he will return at an early day and
stay longer. He will be received with rousing
houses. B
