George Peabody has capped the climax of his
mmidconce by gift without parallel since the
world began He has donated enc million doi-
lars, to be held 10 trust by Robert {. Winthrop
and other prominent men and their successors,
the income to be used for the promotion and
encouragement of intellectual, moral and indus
tual education among the young Of the more
destitute portions of the southwestern states -
All who are needy, black or white, will have the
benefit OF this splendid gift. Besides the round
million, which is a certainty, Mr.. Peabody donates
for the same purposes Mississippi state bonds of
the face value of 81, l0o 600, which are rather
an uncertainty, though Mississippi ought to make
them sure and handsome addition to such a
noble fund.
Gen. Grant in a circular Just issued says that
hereafter boys under the age of twenty-one will
not be enlisted, except for the purpose of learning
music, and then only under the authority from the
Superintendent of the Recruiting Service or the
Aljutant General OF the Amy, after the written
consent Of the parent guardian master has been
obtained, and when that cannot be had boys will
not be received.

New Icagland-No.v and Ti,rn.


There was 4 convention held at
Hartford in 1914, in which the New
England States were fully represent
Cd. The preamble to the Massachu-
sets resolutions introduced into that
body, and which was adopted By it,
reads as follows:
The sovereignty reserved 70 the
States WAS reserved TO protect the
citizens from acts OF violence COM
mittcd by the United States, as we'll
as for purposes Of domestic regul;.-
ton. We spurn the idea that the
free, sovereign and Independent State
of Massachusetts,, is reduced to mere
munici palcorporation, without power
to protect its people or to defend
them from oppression, from what
ever quarter it comes. Wherever the
national compact is violated, and the
citizens Of this State oppressed ~
crnel and unauthorized cnactmeuts,
this Legislature is bound to interposc
its power, and to wrest from the OPP
pressor its victim. This is the spirit
of our Union
Although the above named assem-
blage was not very patriotic in its
motives and designs, yet the adoption
Of the sentiments contained in the
above preamble, show that at least
the members entertained Just ideas
concerning State nights.
Whore, to-day, stands tLis same
Massachusetts, and what are the SEN
timents Of the more degenerate de-
scenaants o. degenerate sircs? She
leads the van in the bold attempt to
wipe ont Ten ''frcc, sovereign and in
dependent" States, and to reduce
them into mere municipal corpora
tions. The national compact, in. the
estimation Of the men OF the pres s~nt
day from that State, is but ga cove
nant with hell" and because the
Southern people, in their respective
State Governments, 'interposed the
power that they had right to in
tcrposc, they must be reduced to The
position OF mere occupants Of a con
qucrcd territory. AS an exchange
very pointedly remarks, AIassacllu-
setts was 10 match for the cross be-
tween the Puritan and Yankee.

Tuesday Morning, Jan. 80, 1867.
The United States Senate.

We extract the following paragraph
from the January number Of THE
Lald We Lore:
GA friend once related to the wliter
of this, M incident which occurred
in the United States Senate, when
there we're statesmen in the then Dig
nified body of men. Mr.. Calhoun
was making one of his close, con pact,
logical arguments, when he discover
ed, by the Speakers eye, that he was
not understood. Seeing the same
look Of vacancy on the countcnances
of other Senators, he turned and ad-
dressed himself to Mr.. Webster. An
answering CLEAN of intelligence
from the face of the great eexpound-
err showed him that he was followed.
He would occasionally stop until q
nod from Mr.. Webster assured him
that all was comprehended. Thus
the communing continued for nearly
an hour between these mighty minds,
no one else comprehending the sub
ject under discussion. It was
strange and impressive scene, and
none like it may ever be expected to
be Witnessed in the same locality
again.
These were the palmy days Of the
Republic-the days when giant intel
lects and men of sound principles
ruled in the councils of the country;
but, alas! how fallen and degenerate
has that once illustrious body become.
No craftsmanship, no integrity, no
honor now graces the upper chamber
of Congress. In our earlier days the
watchword of the people in every
section, when troubles threatened
and danger appeared imminent, was
'1ook to the Senate All this has
passed away, and the chairs of that
once illustrious body of statesmen
and patriots are filed by grovelling
politicians, unworthy of any position
whatever in the direction of public
affairs. The polished blackguardism
OF Sumner has taken tho place Of the
patriotic eloquence and masterly
craftsmanship of Webster, and the
seats once filled by Southern states
men arc kept vacant by pack Of
demagogues who fear to sec them
occupied by those who would uphold
and defend the Constitution and the
Government against their rude as
saults upon both. Well may the
good and true Of the land mourn
over such dcgeneracy.
