the 40 colored lunatics from the Eastern Asy-
lum and sending them to Towards Grove
Hospital. the so white lunatics now unpro-
vided for can be taken into the Eastern Asy-
lum
The commission estimate that ITO luna
tics, including clothing, fuel, food, medical
attendance, nursing, etc., will cost each So
per week for six months and they thereup-
on recommend an appropriation Of SIS, 600
for their maintenance and care, and $4,000
for repairing and reftting the Towards
Grove Hospital and for incidental expenses.
Thus it will be seen that the commission,
after due consideration, have recommended
Major General Candy to appropriate from
the State Treasury $92, 900 to be applied to
the maintenance and care Of the lunatics and
deaf, dumb, and blind of the State for the
present six months, ending 31st March,
1870, at which time it is hoped the State
will have been restored to the Union and
the Legislature, fresh from the people, will
be ready to act wisely in their behalf.

A NEW REBELLION FonEsHADowEp FROM PLYM-
oUTI PULPIT.
Professor Stowe sat under Mr.. Beechers
preaching yesterday, and wore cap during
the whole of the exercises. After brief
preliminary chat upon his text, Mr.. Beecher
said that imagination brought us strength,
which intelligence would fully develop. The
Dane, Swede, and German certainly added
to the cerebral power of the nation Irish
men to its activity. AS the steam engine
required not manual force but steam also,
SO our institutions required greatest force to
run them But it should be added that as
the extent Of the country was immense, SO
there was greater chance of disintegra-
ton.
THE NEXT REBELLION.
The recent failure of such an attempt
ought not to give us notion that the nation
is undoubtedly secure from future disruption.
Few know how near the rebellion came to
proving success. It was an attempt, how
ever, which was founded upon bad grounds,
upon that which was odious to the moral
sense of the world. But should the Pacific
States IN another generation (without sla-
worry, a vile curse, interfering,) undertake
separation on strong commercial and polittco
economical grounds, the issue acould pro5a-
bly, be gerry different. Our late success then
must not lead us to suppose that no other
attempts would be made If the Southern
States, temporarily exhausted, should renew
the struggle on the grounds of political pol
icy and economy, the result could not be
foretoid. Such was the extent of the coun-
try that, in the future, when the respective
parts became populops and wealthy. separa-
ton gould not be stayed if their inter
ests lay in separation. National unity was
secure only when it was to the interest of
each section that there should be such unity.
Rhode Island might not be able to withdraw
alone, laughter, nor New Jersey, renewed
laughter, nor Connecticut, nor even South
Carolina, nor any single State. but the whole
South, the whole Southwest, the great North
west, and the vast Pacific slope move On DIFF
ferent planes.
HOW DISSOLUTION MAY COME.
In the late struggle the Union was pre-
served by military force. Hereafter moral
force alone could accomplish such a result.
While he would look upon the disintegra-
ton Of the union gith tie most profound
feelings Of sorrow, still, however, he could
not regard movement in that direction
with the same adherence that he had of the
late attempt at disintegration.
cALHoUN's GHOST IN PLYMOUTH PULPIT
If four great Republics were proposed in
place Of the present Union, and the move
ment was one of the people be should GER
tainly feel not as he felt toward the late move
ment. Separation would not be fatal. But
still the Union Of the whole States was SO
much better that he considered it the duty of
every Christian patriot to maintain and pre-
serve that Union by every moral means
which would secure that end in perpetuity.
1t should be remembered that there was no
band nor strip of iron long or strong enough
to hold together unwilling parts. No polit-
ical force could do it; neither was there ar
tillery enough to do it. If the Union stood,
it would do SO by common consent, founded
upon com mon interests.
THE SHADE OF CALHOUN EXERCISED.
The arrogance Of any party-of intellect,
wealth, religion-was all opposed to the
common intererests of the Union When,
however, the true interests of the Union
we're thoroughly and widely understood, all
Christians would labor tremendously to fur
her its perpetuity. The spread Of intelli-
gence would further this perpetuity. Mere
knowledge, however. would not do it, Intel
igence among the people was better than
culture in the hands Of a few.
A CRY UNDER ARREST. THE MAYOR
AND ALDERMAN OF GALENA ARRESTED AND
TAKEN TO Cu1oA Go.-The way Of those who
are indebted to bondholders is hard. It has
proved So in this State. where whole boards
of supervisors have lately been arrested and
brought before the court for not ordering
assessments to pay of bonds and in one or
two cases mayors and aldermen have been
either arrested or threatened with it. And
now the fever is spreading. Our neighbor-
ing city of Galena just now finds herself in
the grasp Of sems importnl!nstte creditors Of
this kind, and is suffering the penalty. 1t
would seem that jud gment had been render
ed against the city, and payment Ia now try
ing to be enforced But the plan proposed
by the City Council for SO doing was not
satisfactory, and the result was that United
States deputy marshal came over from Chi
cago yesterday and arrested Mayor Brand
and fye alderman on summary process. He
took them to Chicago on last evening train,
there to appear and answer before the FEEDER
