The infelicity and frequent separa-

to have caused horror of matrimony

he appeared to have the "big brothers"

the peace, towards him.

THE ABYssINIAN EXPEDITION.

The correspondent of the New York
Herald accompanying the Abyssinian
expedition, presents the following pic
ture of the motley crowd which started
forth on the 9th of February from camp
at Senate to march to Antalo:
Early on the morning of the 9Th in
slant the advance brigade, composed of
the thirty-third regiment Europeans
mostly lrish), Fourth regiment native
infantry, the Scinde horse, native cav
airy, a rocket battery of artillery and
two mountain batteries, numbering in
all about $500 strong, marched out of
their camp at Senate and started for
Antalo. The scinde horse, with their
sheepskin coats and green uniforms,
presented very fine appearance. and
their officers, who were East Indian
Englishmen, were decked out in SPLEEN
did uniform of an officer of the regiment,
with silver scabbards, silver sword
handles, gold buttons, silver spurs. sill
yer enbroidcries, silken sashes and gold
epaulets, which must have cost some
thing like 81 500; while the horses on
which they rode were as richly decora-
ted as their riders. The infantry in
their dull brown linen uniforms did not
look so well, nor was their drill, after
eleven years service, anything extra
ordinary. A band of twenty-five musi-
clans preceded the column, and when
the order TO march was given struck up
the well known tune Of Cheer boys,
cheer 1t was certainly very good
advice, for the distance was long, the
sun parchingly hot, and the brown
appearance of the plowcd up land gave
the country dry appearance, which.
with the uncertainty of the end of tho
expedition, might perhaps cause the
troops to be detected. Truly, the col
umn had a somewhat piebald look, with
all its fine haberdashcry. Here were
red men, black men aud white men;
cockncys from London and Cclts from
Ireland, cooking up their eyes with inn
pudent leers at everything; grave look
ing fat Parsees from Persia, scowling
Hindoos from the banks Of the Indus,
black eyed, we'll oiled Sikhs from the
Mahrattas; gcntlcnahly Sepoys from
the Dcccan, fcrocious Soumalls from
Arabia, ugly-faced Pagans from Barba-
ry, .Janus-hearted, treacherous Benga-
lese; wild looking Egyptians from Cairo
and Alexandria, turbanned and rcd'fez-
ed Turk from his darling Stambonl; the.
literal, olive-chceked Jew from Palcs-
tine, followed by the naked Shoho,. the |
daring athletic Nubian and the plumber
ing Hazortite, all riding or walking,
chatting and smoking us they went
with train of commissary stores two
miles long andra train of mules laden
with camp equipage five miles long, |
besides motley number of suffers and
natives carrying tobacco, ghee halieb
milk and, barley, bread. Including
the mulcteers, servants, holy bearers.
pottawallas, ghora wallas and natives,
there were over 1000 men and about
1000 animals in that seven mile pro-
cession.

n1sTINnr1oN Az a DISCOUNT.

At late dinner in North Carolina there
sat down TO table three ex-g0vernors, an
exjustice of the supreme court, two ex'
members of Congress, and some other men
of honorable distinction in their State, and
the only person in the room who could vote
or hold office was the negro who waited on
the table. Such is reconstruction.-Re6e
Exchange.
We think it will be very long before the
people of the old North State confer hon
orable distinction upon men who are so
unworthy of it as the members of the above
dinner party have proved themselves to be,
IT was not reconstruction but slavery that
produced the anomalous picture And the
"waiter on the table" does not acquire his
right to vote and hold Office from his
superior ability or education, but because
he is innocent of crime. When ex-govern-
ors, exjudges, and members of Congress
presume themselves to be so high as to be
above the law, in future they will do well
to have their exact measures carefully
taken by the reconstruction standard and
profit by the result.

nNE CHANGE LRrr roR THE REEFS

The rebels, those political Millerites,
who yet hope to see the destruction Of the
Union, have still chance left for the &C.
complishment of their hopes. 1t is, we
confess, very small chance, and depends
entirely upon the accuracy Of statement
in Camp street paper Slighter founda
ton for sensible man to build upon could
hardly be found; but as these political ad-
ventists are more remarkable for gullibility
than for solid sense, we take it for granted
they will believe the statement, which is in
the form of prophecy and runs in this
wise:
The republic of the United States is yet,
historically considered, in its infancy, and
if the Grant Radical combination succeed
there is grave doubt OF its ever reaching
maturity.
Now, as all the out and out Democrats
in the South are or have been seeessionists,
here is a chance for them to dissolve the
Union and put an untimely end % the
young republic without any labored effort
on their part. All they have to do is to
vote for Grant and Colfax at the next cleo
ton, and the thing is accomplished. A
Democratic editor has recorded the bril-
liant idea, and all the faithful are ready to
respond their assent. The Republicans
will assist the Democrats in their amiable
intentions of stopping the growth of the
young republic, simply because they
are wanting in that acuteness Of
vision that enables the rebels to see
danger ahead from the election of
Grant. And as both parties really
desire the results which each believes will
be reached by Grants election, the one
peace and lasting prosperity to the coun-
try and the ether dissolution and ruin,
we can see no reason why our candidates
should not be chosen by the unanimous
voice of the nation. The Fourth Of July
Convention should set aside all their prom
inent candidates, Seymour, Chase, Pendle-
ton, Hancock, Brick Pomeroy, johnson,
Wendell Phillips, Vallandigham, etc., and
90 in for Grant, as the shortest road to
what they have been working for so many
years. The Republicans are willing to
fight it out on that line.

A DIVIDED MILITARY AuTooRAoY.

Has the towering genius whe presides at
"these headquarters been so much en-
gagged Of late in contIiving plans to flank
the Republican party and prevent their
"usurping" the reins of government that
he has been totally unconscious of the
spirit of fllibustering that has developed it.
self Mexicoward Apparently he has been
so occupied, otherwise how could be have
tolerated such an exercise of civil law in
this military district as the suppression by
the Collector, District Attorney, and Mar
shall of the programme of the adherents of
Santa Anna? Or was he profoundly en-
gagged in strategic studies, looking to
the overwhelming of the Legislative
body that proposes to meet on Dryades
street? After the recent support given
military authority by the Federal Judiciary,
it would only have been courteous had the
bayonets been advanced to save that court
the trouble of maintaining inviolate the
good faith of the nation and to preserve its
neutrality.
Martial law is an autecrat that admits of
no division of authority, but General Han.
cock and his successor have generously
waived their autocracy to suit the views of
the Democracy, until for the life of us we
can not tell where the pig leaves off and
the hog hegins-sOme days it's pig, then it's
hog--but there's good time coming, and
we won't trouble our wise military COM
mander much longer. The care of provid-
ing for the peace and good order of Louisi-
ana will devolve upon a government
installed by the will of the loyal people of
the State, and that government will pos
sess all the wisdom required to divine what
is necessary to secure the rights of our
citizens, and the power and nerve to exc
cute its measures.

TIE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

We are reliably informed that the Demo-
cratic members have arranged all their
plans, and are fully prepared for the con-
test over the organization Of the two
houses Of the Legislature. They have
probably selected their candidates for
Speaker Of the House and all the subordin-
ate Offices, and win cast for them every
Democratic vote. Are the Republican
members equally prepared? In organize
ton there is strength, and in unity there is
victory. There is still ample time for q
thorough organization and understanding
among the Republicans, and we strongly
urge them to be fully prepared for the
contest on Monday next. 1laaI

Some time since the Democratic journals
were gloating over a pretended discovery,
viz A determination on the part of Ger
tain Republican Senators to prevent the
admission Of the Southern States until
after the next Presidential election. They
hoped from this expected failure Of recon
struction to secure excellent campaign
thunder. But we assure them their hopes
are doomed to bitter disappointment. and
that IL will be necessary to charge their big
guns with AZ eatireiy different sort Of am
munition If they would get within range Of
our gallant standard-bearer. Congress will
not adjourn until restoration Of the South

whole course Of Ita legislation has tended
to this end; and, Il for no other reason, the
