very amusing, and at the same time very
impudent statement is that made by General
Morgan, of Ohio, a democrat, of course, in a
speech delivered on Tuesday last. Mr.. Lincoln
and the administration, he claims, were solely
responsible for the war, not because they pro-
voked the southerners TO rebellion, though Gen.
Morgan no doubt believes that, but because
they did not prevent it when they had the power.
General Morgan is kind enough now to show
how this might have been done. His suggestion
might have been of use ten years ago The
method is wonderfully simple. All the officers
of skill and experience who led the rebel armies
were in the United States army when Mr. Lin
coin was inaugurated, and soon after resigned
their commissions. The president had only
to refuse the acceptance Of those resig-
nations; the south would have been with.
out officers, and the armies of the rebellion
could not have been organized, or, if organized
without experienced officers to lead them, they
could have maintained themselves in the field
bnt short time. The southern officers, ac
eording to this theory, would have pinned in in
action, impatiently awaiting the official notct
that their designations were accepted, and
southern statesmen would not have inaugurated
secession and war, knowing that they could not
obtain the aid of the southern officers in the
service of the United States to organize and
command their armies. 1t is a pity that this
experiment was not tried, but we are not SO
confident as General Morgan seems to be that il
would have prevented the war

A Kentucky paper says, JEFF. Davis sis getting
il hot" from his democratic friends, especially
at the north, "because he speaks honestly
and they deceitfully." An emphatic "demo-
cratic" paper, at Cincinnati, is not pleased with
what was done by the state convention of its
party. 1t says:-"The whole aim of the pro.
ceedings was an imposition upon everybody,
white and black" This democratic organ"
thinks its candidate should announce publicly
that be wants no colored man to vote for him,
and adds THAT is the direction for catching
the superficial by their hates and prejudices."
This is the genuine democracy" Manifestly,
the "new departure" is not happy experiment.
The Memphis Appeal, endeavoring to be ''poli-
tic" has tried TO find something in it, but
speaks on the subject in this way:-"The words
that are now put in the mouths of democrats are
nothing but stupendous lies. The party is as
suming position which is false in theory,
wicked and ruinous in practice, unworthy of
honest men, slavish in spirit, stab at the prin-
cples of liberty, and at war with the traditions
of democracy"

The New California Poet.

A correspondent of the New York Evening
Post gives the following account of this latest
star in the literary ARMAMENT
Joaquin Miller, the suddenly risen California
poet, who unknown and alone" grimly hug
ging his manuscripts made ready for the press,
crossed the continent posted through New
York city, set his back against Boston, and sail
ed for England; where, in London, at his own
expense and without the aid OF publisher, he
brought out an edition of five hundred copies of
a collection of original poems which at once
created a sensation in the great metropolis, and
won long columns Of praise from the leading
London critics-this but a day ago unknown
Joaquin Miller is just now talked about and
asked about here with as much curiosity and in
terest as was Bret Harte a while ago, and the
recent number of the Evening Post containing
extracts from the London reviews, and the re-
views themselves which Immediately followed,
have been sought and eagerly read by the critics
of the town, and efforts have been made TO as
certain who and what the new poet is. Letters
from London, received to-day, have good deal
to say about him. In some comprehensive
way, they state, Miller got at once after his ar
rival into the very midst of the Rosetti and
Swinburne cliques of London, and
thenceforth became a lion among the
HtterdteurS. He is said to be an unadulterated
American Of the west, rough, "unvarnished"
Californian, an original forty-niner, and
Mexico and California and has roughed it at
the mines and led life as unlike that of poets
as one can imagine. His admirers in London
call him the Byron Of America, and one Of
them Rosett believe has presented him with
a copy of a volume of Walt Whtman's poems,
inscribed something after this fashion: "This
volume of the works of the best American poet
is presented to the second best American poet"
1t is said that Froude, the historian, is prepar-
ing careful and eulogistic review of the new
poets poems for Fraser's, Swinburne for the
Fortnightly Review, and Rosetti for some other
periodical, and Jean lngelow and William Nor
ris are talking TO everybody enthusiastically
Messls. Roberts Brothers of this city as his
American publishers, having, in the meantime,
with clear eye to the main chance, procured
for himself the American copyright. American
editions may, therefore, soon be looked for, and
then comparisons may be made with the poems
of Bret Harte, John Hay and the Michigan
Carleton.

his comrade if he would come back with him
and give the alarm. He would not co. but step
ped on the car, and arrived at the
top in safety. Young Graham then started
back to inform the men, and having done so, he
returned to the shaft but found the carriage
gone. He remained at the bottom of the shaft
through all the smoke, but after the men had
retired and formed the barricade he went back
and begged in the most piteous manner for adj
mission. The men, however, would not risk the
lives of all the rest, and left him to his fate.
He then went to the stable and laid down beside
his mule, after having written on board the
names of his father, mother and little cousin
who was named after him, and in this position
he was found dead the mule having partly
rolled over upon him and crushed his breast.

New SYSTEM OF ROSE CULTURE.-Some
French and English horticulturists have been
experimenting for three or four years on a new
system of rose culture, which may be stated
briefly thus: First, prune out all the old
wood; second, shorten the new wood very lit
tie; peg the new wood down fatty to the earth"
The rose Is thus allowed to bloom as the rasp-
berry bears-only on the new wood, and that
slightly pruned. The effect is said to be very
fine. The young shoots pegged to the ground
produce greater abundance of bloom, although
perhaps, slightly diminished in size. When a
rose-stalk stands upright, the stronger upward
tendency OF the sap has the effect to multiply
the roses near the top, while when trained upon
the earth the sap works more evenly throughout
the entire length Of the stalk. This is shown
both in the bloom and in the multitudinous up
ward shooting of stems from the main stalk
The effect of this mode OF training would no
doubt be very fine in covering sloping banks and
mounds, and also in the more rapid production
Of small roses for bouquets, etc. Its novelty will
no doubt commend it TO all amateurs who have
time and inclination TO experiment. No plant
requires closer pruning than tue rose and the
finest blooms are always found upon the stalks
which shoot forth from the roots, showing the
Importance of severe cutting away of the old
wood The bush should also be trimmed so as
to open its branches as much as possible, for il
likes the sun. The more sunlight the rose re-
ceiyes the more rapid its growth and the more
numerous and beautiful its flowers.

A WISCONSIN VILLAGE Two HUNDRED
YEARS OLD.-More than TWO hundred wears
ago the French Jesuits sent out their mission
aries to select three Sites on the great lakes and
the mississippi river, for the establishment Of
missions for the conversion of the Indians of the
northwest, which, by the facilities it offered
for access to the surrounding country, might
also serve as a rendezvous for the brave and
hardy Frenchmen engaged in the hazardous en-.
terprise OF trapping and trading with the Indi-
ans. One of the sites then selected is now the
city OF Detroit; the second is the city of Prairie
du Chen, and the third is the location of the
village of De Pere-the subject of the present
sketch De Pere is village of some two thous-
and inhabitants, situated on the Fox river.
which supplies the village with an unlimited
water power-with fall of over seven feet The
village is beautifully located on the margin of

width, with an average depth of channel eigh-
teen feet, while the country back of il rises Grad
