BOUNTY CIAIMs.-1t is worthy of note
that both our State and National Govern
ments in the meetings of their representative
bodies recently convened, give intimation
that the interests of the Soldier and Sailor are
not to be ignorel-the indications are that a
liberal and equalizing system of Bounties for
service in the late war will be made whereby
every man will receive just reward, according
to the length of service rendered.

A REGIMENT PERIsHING FROM THIRST
When the Egyptian troops first conquered
Nubia, regiment was destroyed by thirst in
crossing this desert. The men being upon
limited allowance of water, suffered from ey-
IRENE thirst, and deceived by the appearance
of mirage that exactly resembled beauti-
full lake. they insisted on being taken to its
banks by the Arab guide. 1t was in vain
that the guide assured them the lake was I'M
real, and he refused to lose the precious time
by wandering from his course Words led to
blows, and lie was killed by the soldiers
whose lives depended on his guidance The
whole regiment turned from the track and
rushed toward the welcome waters. Thirsty
and faint, over the burning sands they hur-
ried-heaVier and heavier their footsteps be-
came-hotter and hotter their breath, as
deeper and deeper they pushed into the des-
ert, further and further from the lost track
where the pilot lay in his blood and still the
hooking spirits of the desert, the afreets of
the mirage, led them on, and the lake glisten-
ing in the sunshine tempted them to battle in
its cool waters, close to their eyes but never
at their lips. At length The ,ielusion vanish
ed-the fatal lake turned to burning sand l.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENr.-Tne
Ohio Assembly on Saturday rescinded the
ratification of the Gath amendment to the
federal constitution. 1t is said the Legisla-
ture of New Jersey will Immediately take
similar action This is not as by some is
supposed, the amendment abolshing slavery
but the one declaring who are citizens of the
United States, and fixing representation upon
the basis OF the voting population, &c.
The first "ection makes all persons born or
naturalized in the United States citizens of
the United States and of the State wherein
they reside, prohibits the abridgement of their
privileges or immunities of United States citi-
zenship by any State, and provides for t e
equality Of all persons before the law. The
second section apportions representation to
the several States according to the whole
population of each State, excluding Indians
not taxed, and provides that when the right
to vote for United States or State officers is
denied to any male inhabitant, being twenty
one years of age and a citizen of the United
States, or in any way abridged, except for
participation in rebellion or other crime. the
basis of representation shall be reduced in
proportion with the number of such male
citizens twenty-one years of age in such
State. The third section debars from hold
ing any office civil or military, State or
national, those who, having previously taken
an oath to support the constitution of the
United States, became engaged in the rebel
lion, or gave it aid and comfort Congress
may, by a two-thrds vote of each house; re-
move such disability. The fourth section
asserts the validity of the national debt, and
prohibits the payment of the rebel debt, or
any claim for the loss or emancipation of
slaves. The fifth section gives power to en-
force, by appropriate legislation, the provis-
ions of the article. ....

Stormy Scene in the Virginia Convention.
RrCITSgcNr Ton. 10 1853


Qnite stormy scene took place in the
Convention to-day that nearly eliminated in
general and probably bloody melee. While
Mr.. Hunnicutt was replying to the scathing
record given him yesterday by Mr.. Gibson,
conservative, elected by his taunts on Vir-
ginians as rebels and traitors, he went far be-
yond the recognized latitude of a speaker,
and called Henry A. Wise and r. NJ r. Hun
ter traitors.
This brought Mr., F. W, Hunter. conser-
yativc and relative OF the ex-senator, TO his
feet who said, IF You say r. NJ. r. Hunter is
a traitor you arc a liar and | hurl the lie in
your teeth" Mr.. Liggat then arose and in
dorsed the language OF Hunter, and most

vain and the Chair brought down his ham
mer for naught, while the excitement prevail
ed. The remarks of Hunnicntt are generally
condemned, and even Radicals do not coun-
tenance his course in this natter. Half the
house were on their feet at the same time, but
order was ultimately restored and the affair
referred for investigation to an appropriate
committee. Much feeling exists in conse-
quence of this, and may yet result in an en-
counter between the opposing parties.

General Amnesty,

We see it stated that the Rev. Robert J
Breckenridge, of Kentucky, who was Presi-
dent of the National Republican Convention
in Baltimore in 1864, which nominated Abra-
ham Lincoln for President, has written let
ter to President johnson, urging him TO par
don Gen. John c. Breckenridge, of the Con
federate forces. We hope and trust that
President johnson will not only pardon him
but 90 a step further in the way of reconcile
alton, and issue proclamation of general
amnesty, pardoning all the men from the
highest to the lowest engaged in the late re-
bellion. General Grant, upon the surrender
of General Lee, not only recommended that
distinguished man, but many other rebel Off
GERS of a high grade, as objects worthy of ex.
ecutiye clemency. This was Grants plan fol
the restoration of the Union. We hold that
General Lee, by, reason Of his commanding
ability and the confidence reposed in his judg-
ment and integrity of character, was the very
head and front of the rebellion He exercs-
ed more influence in keeping up the strength
of the Southern forces than President Davis
While Foote, Toombs, and scores of others
attacked Davis and his policy, all were uni
ted in commencing the pre-eminent fitness OF
General Lee as the leader of the Confederate
forces. No word of censure was ever uttered
against him. Ii General Grant under these
circumstances, could urge the pardon of Lee
with equal grace and propriety, we think, can
President johnson issue his proclamation OF
amnesty pardoning all. Why make fish OF
one and flesh of another? Why pardon Lee
and not BTeckinridgel There is no sense OF
reason in discriminating and drawings line OF
demarcation between individuals. While the
war lasted, all engaged in the Confederacy
were equally guilty-but now, that the war
is over, all should be pardoned. The terms
ofsurrendcr involved all alike-and all should
upon laying down their arms, become loyal
American citizens again. The President pos
sesses the pardoning power and he should
exercise it in justice and mercy. He should
not be behind General Grant in magnanimity
and forgiveness We therefore call upon
President johnson to begin the first day OF
the new year by signalling his administers
ton with the symbols of mercy The best
interests of the country demand 1.-THE Nd
