aul1ts8 enough e leaEe NJ doubt af the Gen
erals opinion of the subject matter. 1t will BE seen
that he takes issue with the assumed powers of the
district generals to civil officers unless the id
cumbents of the offices are guilty of specified offenses
He takes the ground that they have the right to sus
pend an officer who is guilty of hindering or impeding
the execution of the military bills but that they have
no right whatever to make removals and ELL vacancies
The distinction he makes between removals and sus
pensions OF officers will doubt have the effect tic
open the eyes OF those military satraps who have
either ignorantly or willfuy transcribed their pow
ers. The Attorney Generals opinion, 50 Ear as i
goes, changes the order of things entirely He has
completely demolished the Radical fabric which The
last Congress erected with 50 mach labor and care
and in all probability We win have July session tc
rebuild it frmer basis The Radical papers have
already taken the alarm, and shrek like mad men fol
vengeance. Senator Wade and bis fifteen brother
Senators, who are on trip to the mountains, send
word by lightning that they will forego the pleasure
little rural amusement for the pleasures OF metro
politan life in the heat of summer at Washington
Fessenden, of MAN, who is now in Europe, sends
greetings along the cable that he will be on hand In
fact the whole Radical camp has been aroused by the
bomb-shell thrown by Mr.. Stanbery.
It is evident to US that should Congress meet on the
9Th of july they will put opposite construction on
the law and hedge it in with legislation that will defy
| the legal lore Of the Attorney General Should such
prove to be the case, the military power viii have
longer lease and the South fare worse than ever
There is question in our mind that if there has not
been great change in the public mind at the North,
this decision of the Attorney General will do US but
little good though it remains to be seen what effect
the able points Ire has made will have upon public
sentiment One thing we are cognisant of, and that
is if the commanders still persist in making these re-
moya1s, they do in defiance of the laws as ex-
pounded by the highest Law officer and that is about
all we do know.

emigration. Soil and climate are just what a
Northern man would choose. The mountains
abound IN all mineral productions, the best of
iron ore and the best of coal-beds are in close
proximity to each other. All real estate is now
cheap; water privileges are numerous, and
markets Tor produce are not distant. Railroad
communication is easy. Society is for the most
part intelligent and refined, about midway be-
tween that of our Eastern cities and the new
States of the West. A moderate capital, with
skill and industry, would inevitably lead to pros

Nothing would do more to bind the good men

the South together than such an intermingling
OF men In their business relations. If the ne

there as they are here, we should soon have an

''Witches wanted Ghosts up!" With a
| wild ''whewl" the whole Of the goblin party
disappeared. Then came horrible looking ap-
| partition in the shape Of warrior with shining
| mail, sealed gauntlets and Scotch bonnet. His
features were Of chalky whiteness and his
throat displayed gaping wound which reached
from ear to ear. Pointing with his gloved
finger to the bleeding cash, and directing his
glance toward Hugh, he exclaimed, ''That' s
make room for pale and melancholy lady with
her face bound up and lighted candle in her
hand. She placed the light upon the floor,
and commenced rubbing her hand in downright
earnest, exclaiming ''Out, damned spot!" but
the spot seemed inclined not to go out, and so
she rubbed again with redoubled vigor and,
placing her nose to her hand, continued,
Here's the smell of blood still; all the per-
fumes Of Arabia will not sweeten this little
hand. Ohp' Here the spectre passed slowly
out of sight, and Hugh made a desperate effort
to rise from his couch in the spirit-land, when
the ghosts again appeared and joined in a
church-yard laugh at one that has q red nose!
A little goblin went through the ceiling to a
chorus of voices above; there was strong smell
Of pitch and sulphur, and flashes of lurid fire
occasionally made the darkness visible.
At length the leading witch appeared again,
and taking her wig Of long, shaggy hair off, be-
gan to sing ''We fly by night, in register of
voice anything but soprano. Hugh plainly rec
ognized the features of his quondam messmate,
and while making another effort to rise from
his horizontal position, was discovered by ST.
monds; who, whispering to the witches and
ghosts around him something that Hugh could
not hear, they all clasped hands and began to
concentrate on the terror-stricken intruder, I'M
til they came quite close to him. Two of them
brought coffin used for mimic funerals, and
placed it by his side; one, ghost with a brass
helmet on, seized a large sheet of iron used for
manufacturing thunder, and began to shake it
Justify, while the murderer with bloody hands
whetted his knife on red paint-pot. The lead
ing witch, (Hecatel bending over the stupifed
cracker, then exclaimed
Pour in sows blood, that hath eaten
Her nine farrow grease that's sweaten
From the murderer's gibblt, throw
Into the fame"
The whole gang then Joined in chorus
Bubble, bubble, toll and trouble,
Fire burn, and caldron bubble"
This was too much for Hugh's nerves to
bear he shouted Justify ''Help-lnurder u
and, with an effort, made desperate by terror,
arose, and after proving the spectres to be sub
stantial by knocking over two or three of them
with his fist, he made his escape out of the den
of mystery-reached his raft-and slept, per-
chance to dream Of his first appearance under
a stage.
The reader must be aware that the green
horn had witnessed the performance of. the
tragedy Of Macbeth behind the curtain, orrath-
er under the stage.

Pardon for Omissions.

DR.. Samuel johnson, writing to his mother,
says:
''You have been the best mother, and ! be-
lieve the best woman in the world. l thank
you for your indulgence to me, and / beg
forgiveness Of all | have done i'll, and all that
have omitted to do a0eN
So in the prayer he composed at the same
time:
Forgive me whatever have done unk indy
to my mother, and sohaterer Ihaue omitted to
do Indy"
There is deep meaning in this. Our Of
fences against God and our felow-men are far
greater in the omission of duties than in the
commission of sins. Let any one think it over
faithfully and see if the weight of condemna-
ton does not rest there.
And how much point in the expression
omitted to do kindly We might-often at
least-almost as we'll not speak the truth at all,
as to speak it not Sin love;' so it may often
happen that an act in itself eminenty proper
has a dreadful omission aboutit, simply because
it is not done kindly. WHAT'S charity, however
bountifully bestowed, if sympathy be wanting
1t is often positive insult.
Without pursuing the hint farther, let each
one search for the catalogue of what he has left
undone, and strive for better spirit and bet
ter life.

Mayl add few lines in respect to my own
course and that of Presbyterian ministers In the
South. I belong to that church-am now In my
eightieth year, and have been for more than
forty years member Of the Synod of Virginia,
and for over thirty years its stated clerk. |
have never failed toiattend all the meetings of
the judicatories,- less when prevented by sick
ness. l, therefore, claim to be well acquainted
with the Presbyterian clergy, at least of Vir-
ginia. Now, say | think no class of men had
less agency In bringing about the socalled rebel
lion.
During the whole time Of the war and since,
have heard no political sermon, or one In which
party politics was introduced I never preach
ed such a sermon, and when | have referred to
passing events, it was only to gain attention and
illustrate some religious truth or doctrine |
greatly approve Of the views you take of polit-
ical preaching, and am sorry it prevailed so at
the North, because under it spiritual religion
must decline. I think, we (the Southern people)
are not well understood by our conservative
friends at the North. believe the people are
almost universally loyal to the Constitution of
the United States, and would be glad to live
quitely under it as heretofore. They disapprove
of certain legislation by Congress- as it seems a
majority at the North also do.
[ take the liberty of expressing to you these
views, not for them to appear in print, for you
yourselves generally present the subject fairly.
