A FIzzLE.-Gen. w. H. Parsons, the convert to
radcaism, made elaborate speech in the State Sen
ate, which should haunt him like foul murder to the
lAtest period of his life. The antics played by this
new convert to Radicasm appear like a monkey in
the China shop. Parsons is modern Mercury who,
If he does not steal the cattle of Admetus on the day
of his BIRTH or the culver and arrows of the divine
shepherd, has shown willingness in his infancy to
rob Neptune of his trident; Venus of her grdle Mars
of his sword Jupiter of his scepre and Vulcan of his
tools. He comes with cheerful countenance and
carries the caduceus of party with entwined serpens

Parsons. man of considerable sprightness of mind
and of intense personal vanity his qualities are entirely
on the snowy order There is very little depth of
mind or character about him, and So after there was

the lost cause, and basely turned upon the hand that

The MURDER OF THE PIEGANs.-The slaughter of
the deenceless Indian squaws and children by Federal
soldiers, acting under orders of Gen. Sheridan, has
raised cry of indignation throughout the civilized
world, which the weak attempts at palliaion by the
friends and parasites of the distinguished butchers will
scarcely quell.
The Picayune translates the following the subject
from the New York Journal, German paper:
To US who have looked upon the achievements Of
Sherman and Sheridan during the late war from an
unprecedented standpoint, their latest civatory
paigns are not surprising, they being in accordance
with their character. Like second Atilla, Sherman
marched through Georgia and the two Carolinas, and
Sheridan through the Shenandoah Valley laying waste
the most fertile regions of their own country. The
slaughter OF the sarsges appears to fit supplement
TO their heroic deeds at that time But now, after the
civil war; in which the most cruel vanda could display
their "heroism" is over, these individuals are fit no
longer for positions in which the life of their fellow
men is given into their hands. They should be COM
PEELED to work in large slaughter-house. There they
would be in their element.
