rE@ Ecclesiastical authority
has settled that five out of the
"ten virgins" mentioned in Scrip
ture, were yOgag gentlemen! An
exchange has been taken to task
by a divinity student for encom-
passing the fact with even doubt.
Decidedly, if the English diction-
airy be good authority in such
matters, a virgin may belong to
either gender; and yet custom
has SO limited the application of
the term to the female sex that
it actually seems absurd to en-
ployoit in regard to the other. 1t
is only another proof of the grad
ual changes that time, habit, and
social usages enforce upon the Ian
guage of a people, however settled.

M&e In another column we
give place to the Presidents Am
nesty Proclamation. This docu-
ment has caused a good deal of
comment and speculation. How
it is to benefit the people of the
South, as circumstances now are,
we don't see. If the Northern
elections go as they have gone fol-
several years past, the Proclama-
ton will be Of no more value than
SO much waste paper. But If
the Radicals are defeated, as they
ought to be, liberty and concord
will find a congenial home IN the
United States.
