HOW DICK YATES WENT AsTRAY
Senator Richard Yates, Of the
| Washington Temperance Society, has
been smit.eu with an attack Of the
same disease. He was to speak at
IDanviIle on Wednesday, but was too
drunk to stand, and was therefore put
carefully in bed by his compatriots,
1t was hoped he might be soberod
, sufficiently to fill an appointment the
! next day at Decatur, but he somehow
: got at the whisky again, and when
| the train arrived which was to carry
: him to the latter place, he was in his
"rormal condition" Trains bound
, East and West wait and pass at Dan~
vile. and Richard having been con-
yeyed to the Railroad station, saw a
train bound East, and insisted on get
ting on board in spite Of the earnest
IN representations of his friends that he
or should travel West instead Of East
ne All was Of no avail. The unfortunat,
is Senator was in his patriotic mood
in literally, he knew no North, no South
of no East, no West, and when las
n. heard from, be was in the interior Q
be Indiana, firmly persuaded that he wa
en- on the direct route for Decatur.

A NEW HORROR ADDED TO WAR.
On the 18th Of August; in 1864, Gen,

referred the whole subject Of exchange

change
Cry Po1NT, Aug. Is, lS64.--On
the subject Of Exchange, | differ from
Gen. Hitchcock; it is hard on our
men held in Southern prisons not to
exchange them, but it IS humanity to
those left in the ranks to fight the
battles. Every man released on pa
role or otherwise, becomes an active
soldier against us at once either dl-

The Future Freedom of Man.

1t isstated y celebrated statistcian of France
that the dlsarniing OF one haLfof the European
forces would restore two millions Of young men
to the pursuits OF peace and at once realize an
annual saying Of three hundred and twenty mil
ion dollars. This would construct railways all
over Europe, establish a primary school in every
neighborhood, and pay off every public debt in
less than forty years.
This subject of disarming of the various
Kingdoms OF Europe is beginning to torce itself
upon the minds OF the people all over the civi-
Zed world. The reason is that every government
of Europe has increased its arnanents till the ex-
pense is unbearable and the rulers are of late be-
ginning to see that the last ounce has been placed
upon the canels back.
The people of the world are becoming more
enlightened, and are asking themselves why are
| we taxed to death The answer will be, 1--WE
are deprived of the fruits of our labor merely to
support in idleness the military tyrants who are
expressing us.
The intalble result will be that the people
will burst the bands that have been placed around
their limbs by their own ignorance, and that they
will force their rulers to relax them.
AS In every improvement OF the human race,
SO in this case-the deiverance Of the oppressed
must come from the down trodden masses them
selves. They have already frightened their ru-
lers, and therefore these last are beginning to
talk about Tightening the burdens of centuries.
But this talk Of the tyrants will not be enough:
If the people will act, they will show that there
is spirit in that prevent an infinite
amount of oppression. Then, and not tiltthen,
the despotie rulers whether they be kings or
classes, will see that their own time has come
if they will not accord to the people their rights
If they have the sense to see this in time, the
themselves
have not, they will have to take the consequences;
for the world will not much longer endure the
tyranny that is destroying the people.
We believe that before this nineteenth century
shall have ended, the rulers of Europe will be
compelled to do justice to the people, to disband
their enormous armies, and to tighten the bur-
dens under which every nation is laboring. In
thirty years from this time every national debt
will be paid or wiped out BY revolution.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer
contributes the two following anecdotes:
Two little incidents in the history of General
Pope, of the Federal army, and General Lee, Of
the Confederate, very richly illustrate the dit
ference in the character of the two men. one Of
| 8'arnty of the Potomac, and the oeher Of the
army of Northern Virginia. Tie story of the
former was related by an attache of Gen. Pope,
and that of the latter by surgeon in the Con.
federate army.
While General Pope, attired in gorgeous suit
of uniform, and with hat in hand, was walking
not far from his quarters. he was accosted by
small man dressed in plain suit of black:
This is General Pope, believe" said tho
civilian.
"Pope is my name, sir" and after casting
hasty and indignant glance at the stranger, whom
he regarded as country farmer come to ask
some favor. .-........s s
81 wish to see General Pope on business"
continued the civilian.
"Go to my Adjutant," said Gen. Pope, turn
ing on his heel, and regarding the stranger with
naughty stare continued his walk. The stran.
ger, somewhat abashed, but gathering new cour.
age, he again addressed himself to Gen. Pope.
MY business is private, and wish to see
Gen. Pope alone" |
"See my Adjutant, sir" exclaimed General
Pope, in an authoritative Tone aud turned indg-
nantly away. ..-.. 49,. -.
Twice thwarted, the stranger entered the Ad.
jutant Generals Office, and addressed peremp-
tory order to General Pope, requiring his imme.
diate presence. Signed Assistant Secretary
of War
Pope was thunderstruck, and sent word by his
Adiutant General that he would see him in fifteen
minutes. -'17
The Assistant Secretary Immediately sent
another order, demanding his presence forthwith;
and Pope soon presented himself, with hat under
his arm, and made apology to the Secretary
which was waived by the latter.
On the Both June, 1862, during the great
battles around Richmond, and at the very mo-
ment the bloody and sanguinary assault was be-
ing made on General McClellan's position on
Malvern Hill, a solitary horseman, some distance
from the scene of action, had dismounted under
cluster of trees, and was apparently listening
to the rear Of artillery This elevation had been
selected by a surgeon of the corps for field
hospital, and SO terrible was the conflict at NAL
vern Hill that all the shade Of tie little promon
tory was required for the comfort of the wounded
One of the surgeons approached the stranger,
whom he supposed to be only citizen attracted
to the spot to witness the battle, and requested
him in rather hasty manner to move out Of the
way.
1@"Certanly Gentlemen" replied the stranger,
"the wounded should be kindly cared for" and
shifted his position.
In very few minutes courier dashed up
and inquired for General Lee.
Il "Here he is move quickly!'
The surgeon was thunderstruck, and hastened
to offer apologies which General Lee readily ac-
cepted, mounted his horse and galloped TO the
front. ..

Can the Bible be Improved.

The above seems an impious question; but our
answer may seem even more impious-for we
declare unhesitatingly that 1t can. Hear US for
our cause; for that cause is the salvation of man
One great reason why the word of God is so
little understood is, that the Bible is SO alb
surdly arranged, especially In the books of the
New Testament. -. .-. ..---z .............
The holy scriptures were written like any
other books, and such division as that of chap
ter and verse was never even dreamed of by
these who wrote them. 1t is but modern in
yentlon, designed simply for convenience of ref
erence ..... ......--s ...... ~
These divisions are often made arbitrarily
This is especially the case in the argumentive
epistles of st. Paul. OF these about taco-thtr7s
OF the chapters begin wrong; for instead Of each
chaper containing a whole argument with its
premises and conclusion we find that the promises
are generally laid III one chapter the argument
and conclusion in the next. -f
In addition to this great absurdity of the di-
vision into chapters, that into uerses is equally
preposterous, and both together tend greatly to
obscure the meaning Of the sacred writings
Most people read by chapter and verse, and if
these are not properly divided, many parts Of
the Bible, otherwise easily understood, become
unintelligibe.
This very faulty method of arranging the word
OF God is entirely human, and not ut all divine
unless printers are divine beings, and from our
experience they not. s--.. .---g - ....a
In these days when the little faith once pos
sessed by the world seems to be in danger OF
being extinguished, every means should be en-
ployed to keep the Pickering taper from going
out. Among these means very important one
IS to make the oracles of God plain as possible
The printers have obscured them by absurd ar
ransement. Let this be corrected as soon as
possible, and let the future editions of the Bible
be so printed that the ordinary reader can un-
derstand the connection between the various por-
tions IF each book. -...
1 his great evil is easily cured, and the Bible
Society should attend to it at once. Let all the
books be properly arranged in paragraphs, and
let the minor divisions, now represented by ver-
ses, be marked on the margin. We shall thus
have ease of reference secured as well under
the present arrangement-or rather disarrange-
ment, and the meaning of some Of the most i'm
portant portions OF the Scriptures now unintel
ligible to the mass of readers viii then be rem
dered as clear as dat NOrtO{k .JOu}naL
