The most violent opponents of Congress,
and the bitterest denouneers of the Radicals,
are almost invariably men of Northern birth
or Southerners who took good care to keep
out of the war Show us man who at this
late day raves furiously about the tyranny of
Congress, and predicts the revival of the
81 lost cause" and in nine cases out Of ten we
will show you an ignorant Northern dirt
eater, or Southerner who did not possess
the courage to enlist and fight for the cause
he processes to love so well. Such men are
not respected anywhere, nor by anybody
They are ostraeised in the. North and despised
by the brave men of the South.

tyranny Of the Government, in the following

ing the principal speaker. II tell you we've
got the most mereiful Government in the
world. What's the use Of trying to disguise
the fact? We attempted to destroy the Gov
ernment and failed any other would have
hung me for my share in the matter, and
would have perfect right to do it. | con.
slider myself standing proof Of the mercy of
my government. five get into war about
this Mexican business, III try and show the
Government how | appreciate its generosity
to me-" One of the blowers said, 1.-The war
isn't over yet" "Isn't it? ?" said the Gen
eral. Well, maybe you haven't had
enough of it. But the men that did the
fighting have. l don't know of anybody that
isn't satisfied to quit, except the stay y-at-home
sneaks. You are very full Of fight NOR; why
didn't you show some of it when we wanted
you in the trenches at Richmond?"

Free Farms.

Our readers are aware that the last Con-
gress passed a homestead law, appropriating
Government lands in the Southern States,
that might be " "ehterei" by actual settlers.
In North Alabama, the Government owns o
large quantity Of land in the coal and mineral
regions, and we learn from the Huntsville
AdUocate, that the Land Office in that city is
doing a large business. In the months of
April and May, 545 farms were entered.
What is matter of surprise to us is, that
out of this large number Of entries only eight
have been made by freedmen. There, are
still some Of the richest bottom lands Of the
Black Warrior and Coosa Rivers remaining
unsettled, and subject to, entry. There is no
doubt but that the homestead law was passed
for the peculias benefit Of the freedmen, and
it is extraordinary that, while claiming other
rights and'privileges conferred upon them By.
the legislation of Congress, they do not avail
themselves Of this truly valuable boon, which
would secure to them permanent and comfor-
table homes, with lands sufficient to.secnre
them an independent support, AID cempe-
tency for themselves and families. Would it
not be we'll for some of them to take this {.
matter into consideration, and investigate the
facilities for awaiting themselves of the privi-
leges accorded to them.-Phoenix. 'fs &.

BULL FlGHrING IN FIAScE.-The pictu-
rescue and exciting, but horrible cruelty OF
the bull ring, seems to be creeping northwards
in the dolnnions of his Majesty the Emperor
Napoleon. A bull fight is reported 10 have
taken place at Aries, Bouches. s.du-Rhone. Tue
attack Oh the first three animals passed off
without anything remarkable; but tue fourth
slowed an ardor aud fury which Disconnected
the assailants. The chest of one of them was
pierced by the horn of tie enraged brute,
and be was taken to the hospital. Another
man, was seriously. hurt, aud third was
kurlcd into the air to height of five or six
yards, caught on the bulls horns and agein
Aung up. He was rescued by those present,
and fortunately escaped with only slight
bruises. About ten thousand persons wit
uessed tho fight; SO that tie function" was,
in all its bloody accessorie, and in its popu-.
larity, o Success. Aries is southern town,
with grand cid Roman amphitheatre, and
the people have that languidly passionate
blood which takes pleasure il such exhibitions.
But Lyons and Paris will copy the example
of Aries unless the Empes,r shall arrest the
pernicious importation into France of acus-
tom which is the delight ind the disgrace OF
the Spanish people.
