Among the Insane.

The Madison correspondent of the
EDeRlng Wisconsin, has found time to
visit the Insane Asylum near Madl-
son. He tells in few words how
they are managed, clothed and fed,
aud says at least one-fourth Of the
number are hopelessly and harmless
" demented, and out Of The reach Of
sanity relief; a dozen or more are
doubtless mediums

The insane, as q rule, arc not CIV

SIT GUM and ltolid on their pine
benches, or wander like melancholy
ghosts, about the hall. Chess, cards,
dominoes, and checkers, are allowed
TO all who desire TO play. There 5

Young Hayt, formerly bCok-keeper
IN the Sentinel office, is the champion

to be unique and orderly; patients

.Iftorney General .fckermGn,

Itappears to us that Hiram Ulysses
has got more than be bargained for
when he selected tho above named
gentleman as his Attorney General,
in the place of Judge Hoar, if we are
to take as genuine a letter written by
Ackerman TO his political friends in
Georgia, in reference TO the compH-
cations of reconstruction in that State.
The Attorney General winds up his ar
gument in this wise;
"You are all Republicans, and therefore l viii
say a word to you Of the party aspects OF the mat
ter An apprehension has been expressed that
we shall lose the State II an election rs held next
fall. We may better lose the State than keep 1t
wrongfully. If We lose the State in fair election
though Il may be disagroeablc, yet We shall have
no right to complain. Il is one Of a freeman s
privileges TO vote pervorsely when so minded, and
II the majority choose so to vote, the rest Of Us
must submit for the time, and trust that reflection
and experience will bring them ia the end 70 SCUM
der politics
Now, when we consider the fact
that this eXtraol dinary specimen OF a
country lawyer writes more like a pol
itician than a public functionary and
a statesman, yet the sentiments are
tolerant and liberal. considering the
source from which they come and the
influence which surrounds the writer
we must not be surprised if our digni'
fed and wonderful President, when he
returns from his hob nobing toui
throughout the country, should say to
his offending and careless Attorney
General, "No more be legal and cou

TYIIananca and Sedan.

About eleven years ago, when the
Emperor Of the French had reached
the height Of his fortune; when he
had been victorious in two great wars
having personally led the French
troops in the battles of Magenta and
Solferino When Russia and Austria
were Inundated, all Europe looked to
him as the arbitrator, and in France
the cry Of victory had for a time ST.
fenced every opposition to tho impcri.
al rogiene. At this important period
the interveil at Villafranca, between
the Emperor Of Austria and Napoleon,
took place.
Alittle more than eloven years have
passed by, and Napoleon asks for an
interview with King William to sur.
render himself as a prisoner of war.
perhaps for the purpose Of saving bis
almost worn.out life, which certainly
is as safe among the Prussians as
among the French. France has her
soil invaded by an overpowering and
resistless enemy; her splendid armies
defeated at every point; her Gener.
ais outaanked, out.maneuvercd, out.
fought, and beaten at every stop
And why is this? Why has France
lost her laurels? Because she gave
the sword into the hands Of an usurper
who had destroyed her liberties and
killed thousands on thousands Of her
best sons and banished the most Illus
trious Of her children. Poor France!
Alas, Napoleon.

Just about as near the truth as that

GOSPEL TRUrH The New York
Sun asks s'Whal would have been
thought Of Lincoln, IT, after our Bull
Run, he had, like the Empress Eugenie,
rent the air with cries of despair ~
Well we have this to say oft: Inall
the great crises Of our war Mr. Lin.
coin had q gun boat at Washington
ready fred up, aud in case OF an omcr.
gency prepared to take him and his
family TO any port Of safety that he
might designate. He also, on his way
to Washington in 1861, put on a dis.
guise ofa Scotch wp and plaid to ar.
rive there safely. We don't think
that Lincoln had any thing TO boast
ofover Eugonie, who, as yet, has made
no effort to leave Pars. Had it not
been for Lincoln's fears Of his own
safety, and his recall of McDowcll's
corps in 1862, Richmond would have
been taken by General Mcclellan -
Mcdowell did't 20 to Richmond. but
Stonewall Jackson did anl, and the re
suit all the world knows.
