that the policy was not to abandon the
colonies, nor to act so as to deceive them
away from their allegiance, but to nrepare
them for maintaining their own posi-
ton by means of their own right
hands and make them conscious
that if an attack is levelled against them
they must depend mainly, if not altogether.
upon their own resources to resist it, falling
in which they must be prepared to accept
the consequences. whatever they might be,
which followed invasion and conquest.
Speaking for himself, and speaking freely,
frankly and truthfully, he was of opinion
that the union of these provinces was a
preliminary step for the establishment OF d
system Of government in British America
which would enable US, when the moment
arrived. when the necessity pressed upon
us, to maintain separate and independent
existence among the nations of the earth.
He believed that that idea was present to
the minds of most if not all those who took
part in carrying out that great and lmpOr-
tant political change; but because they fore
saw that which they believed must happen;
because they took the initial steps to put
the country in position to maintain itself
in case of war, was to be charged, as he saw
some of the public press has charged,
that they had Interior objects in view;
that they had proved themselves dislOyal
to the mother country; that they had shown
themselves to be the authors Of dangerous
measures, and that they should therefore
be politically opposed and condemned. He
denied that they were open to such con-
demnation, and he referred to the phrase
of Lord Monck about new nationality, and
Lord Lisgan's declaration that alliance
should now take the place Of allegiance, as
we'll as TO the reported observations of the
leading newspapers Of England to estab
iish the fact that what the public men of
Canada foresaw was based upon correct
understanding of the opinion in the mother
country. The drift. Of that opinion was
that the connection with Canada was q
source Of embarrassment, from which the
mother country should be freed as soon as
possible. If English statesmen and the
English press discussed the question so un-
reservedly without being subject to the i'm
putations Of disloyalty, it could not be
charged against the public men in Canada
that they were wanting in loyalty because
they recognized the actual position of af-
fairs. The speakers remarks were ire
quently interrupted by applause.

When, on the night OF the sixth, the ar
my of Northern Virginia had put the Ap-
pomattox between it and its pu-suers, a
group of the chief officers met around the
bivouac- fire to take counsel together touch
ing their fortunes. General Lee alone was
not of the number. The result of the inter-
change cf views was to reduce the posi-
bilities of the situation 70 three lines OF con-
duct. l. To disband, allowing the troops
to make their way as best they might TO
some fixed rallying point. .. To abandon
the trains and cut their way through the
opposing lines. 3. To surrender. But it
was soon seen that. in reality, two of these
courses were excluded. To disband would
be to give up all; for there was little likeli-
hood that the troops could ever be rallied.
while their dispersion over the country
would necessarily entail unnumbered ills
upon the inhabitants. To cut their way
way through was more easy to talk about
than to do; and even if they succeeded IN
etfect;ng this purpose, the army. without
train or artillery, or material, would lose
all organization, and must starve. 1t re-
snlted that there seemed TO be no alterna-
tive but surrender This was the voice of
the council, and General Pendleton was ap-
pointed to communicate the conclusion 10
General Lee.
From the above extract from Swtntons )
history of the war in Virginia, Maryland
and Pennsylvania, it appears that General
Lo1gst-eet was present at the council of
officers here mentioned.
We have General Longstreets authority
for DENYING the truth of the statement. He
was not q member of the council, nor did
he know anything of it until about sunset
Of that day, when the superior officer who
was delegated to communicate the views of
the council 10 General Lee came to General
Lonsstreet and reported the proceedings Of
the officers. and asked him General Long
street, as the officer next in rank 70 Ger
eral Lee. to express to General Lee the
opinion of the officers of the council. Gen
eral Longstreet replied, II am here to re-
inforce General Lee, not to take from him
any part of his strength. If he does not
know when to surrender until prompt him
to it, he will never know" This is the first
and last that General Longstreet heard OF
the council, until he read this able work OF
Mr.. SWiptoQ.

The great event OF the coming week

elusive OF tie valuable stakes offered by
outside parties. Then the great variety Of
contests, there being double races each day,
all add 70 the interest of the occasion.
Another feature of this meeting, which is
OF interest. is the fact that-visit0rs to the
course, not members Of the club, will find
accommodations for their ladies on the
club stand without any extra charge or
tcOrbe, while TIE prices charged for ad-
mission to all parts Of the course are eX-
ceed;ngiy reasonable, even liberal. For

In regard to the preparations which have

Governor Warnotln.

The State Register knows how
it is with Gov. Warmoth, of Louis.
lana, and gives his past history as
follows ..... ..
Gov. Warmoth is a native Of
Illinois. He was born in Wayne
county, where he lived until some
ten or twelve years of age, when
he removed to Salem, in Marion,
an adjoining county, and resided
until about the breaking out of the
war, when he removed to Missouri,
and became an officer of the ''home
guards" and finally became at
tached to General AtcClernand's
staff.
While young Warmoth lived in
Salem he attempted to learn the
printing business in the office of
the proprietors of this paper, at
which he only worked a few weeks.
Quitting the printing business, he
read law, and during leisure time
BACKED or polished stoves for q
timer in that town, for which he
received ten cents per stove. This
was during the year 1858. In the
memorable campaign of 1860 his
father, Isaac Warmoth, was a
leading DANTE, or Buchanan man,
as was also his son Henry. After
the election the Warmoth family
removed to Missouri, when young
Warmoth event d soldering" as
stated, and finally landed in the
executive chair of the great State
of Louisiana. Warmoth never
practiced law in New Orleans, I'M
less it was just previous to his
election as Governor.
Gov. Warmoth's father was very
poor, and young Warmoth has
struggled through all sorts of adj
versity but being "keen-Witted"
and cheeky he now holds the
first position of a great common
wealth, and is reported to be worth
nearly a million of dollars, all of
which is the result Of energy and a
daring will.

A Touching Incident.

During the past year o little boy
about five years old entered the
Phelps Industrial School, No. 235
East Fifty-fifth street. He was a
beautiful looking child, with large
gray eyes, brown hair, ruby cheeks,
and very full, regular features. He
attracted unusual attention. Wis
itors as we'll as teachers, admired
him, and even the very toughest of
his playmates were kind to him.
The teacher taught him a piece to
recite, which caused great laughter
on account of the bright, active
and prompt manner he had in de-
livering it. A gentleman visited
the school, when the lad was called
upon to recite his piece. After he
had finished, the gentleman placed
his hand upon bis shoulder and
said, "Well done, my boy ; here is
FIVE cents for you" The teacher
noticed an unusual expression Of
JOY in the child's face, but duty
calling her attention in various di-
rections, it soon passed from her
mind for a while. The boy was
regular in his attendance at school,
but soon came q change in the
child; day by day he grew paler
and paler, and his step less elastic
and buoyant. When he was asked
if he was sick, his answer was al
ways the same No, not sick, but
tired" He was noticed daily to
take his bread home Che lived with
his grandmother; no questions
were asked why he did so. Many
very pale and sickly children are
in these schools. Thus day after
day and week after week passed,
until one day lie came in looking
so thin and pale that the teacher
asked him to 90 home and rest.
that he might feel better to-mor-
row. Tears came to his eyes, and
he said "I want to stay in
school" The teacher, not know

Georgia.

From the St. Louis Republican
This Southern State found its
first substantial release from a
minority bondage on the 18th inst,
when its new Governor, James M,
Smith, recently elected without OPP
position, in place OF the fugitive
Bullock, was inaugurated. A geor-
gia paper of the 18th says: Eyes
terday, the last vestige of Radical
power was swept away from the
Government of Georgia, James M.
Smith, a Georgian and patriot, was
ihaugurated Governor, and with
that event disappeared the ac-
cursed remnant Of scalawag and
carpet-bag reign from our State.
In a few days the Judiciary will be
redeemed from party corruption,
and all the departments Of the
Government restored to the chosen
representatives of the people" 1t
was intimated not long ago, that
the Acting-Governor, Conley,
would oppose the Inauguration of
Governor Smith, on the ground
that his election was notwarranted
by law; and it is certain that he
would have made opposition, if he
had been promised the Presiden-
tial support from Washington
which he desired, and, probably,
solicited. But the President has
his hands full of Warmoth and
other troubles, and he had to tell
his acting excellency Of Georgia
that he could do nothing for him.
This is the explanation Of Conley's
docile submission. But be did not
retire from Office without exhaust
ing his nearly-ended authority by
issuing a pardon to Foster Blod-
gett, o leading Radical, for Che
railroad frauds and villanies which
he was about to be brought to trial
for. The people of Georgia are
justly incensed ut this bold inter-
ference with the courts to take
from their grasp a scoundrel who
was hand-in-gloYe with Bullock in

Destruction of a South AmeFi-
can Town by Earthquake i'm
Ten Seconds. IEy@. .
The Buenos Ayres Standard of
Both November gives further intel
ligence than that reported by the
telegraph Of the late disastrous
earthquake at Salta. On the 22d
of October, at IL o'clock p. M,
when most of the inhabitants of
the doomed town of Oran had re-
tired to their houses, the first
shock was felt. The greatest ter
ror at once prevailed, and the peo-
pie rushed madly into the street !;
few had gone to bed, as for hours
before a dull, rumbling noise had
been heard in the distance, and all
feared that it portended some un-
usual catastrophe. The shocks
continued ct intervals for nearly
nine hours, during which time for
ty distinct movements of the earth
were felt. The pavement of the
street was split open, now here,
now there, and the houses fell in
confused heaps Of ruins. There is
only one death to record, that Of
Sr. Reyes, and some COMMISSIONS to
other persons. Most Of the inhab-
itants rushed out to the camp af-
ter the first shock, and 50 saved
their lives, but the town Of Oran
may be considered as totally de-
stroyed.

/ II will be argued by men who
favor the bloody sport Of buffalo
hunting that it is q noble art, Civ
ing the victim at least half a
chance of escape; and this last
fact certainly raises the exploits OF
our Russian visitor somewhat
above the vulgar level of pigeon
shooting or rat batting. The mere
element of size has always its et-
feet. The dying struggles of a hon
may be grand, while the last
spasms of rat are sure to be re-
voting; but the cruelty which
wantonly kills both of these crea-
tures Is cruelty in either case.
Some philosophers have asserted
that insects do not feel, in their

larger organisms are capable, while
others maintain that in proportion
to their size their sufferings are
quite as intense. Be this as itmay'

the Legislature and the courts viii
not recognize the pardon, but in
sist in bringing Blodgett to trial.
The Legislature is at present in
vestigating the condition of the
State finances, to see what amount
of fraudulous bonds were issued
by Bullock. It accompanied the
resolution for an inquiry with a
declaration stating that nothing In
the resolution should be construed
to bind the State to pay these
fraudulent bonds, and as the voice
of the people tends in the same d.
rection, it is not probable that the
illegal bonds, issued to persons
who are believed to have been in
collision with Bullock, will ever be
paid. ... -

Movements are now going on in
various States to form an indepen-

received the adhesion Of many in
fluential Republicans. In order, if
possible, to arrest this stampede,
the Grant Radicals have picked
out an early day in June for the
holding Of their nominating con-
yention. That il will nominate
Grant is generally conceded.

A sad instance of human de.
pravity was brought to light few
days ago. There came up on one
of our steamers from New Orleans
a widow lady with six children,
who had been most shamefully
swihdled by some scorndrel- in
that city. She was on her way to
Texas, and had some $500 in cur
rency in her possession to pay
travelling expenses, and mayhap
secure herself little home in the
Ell Dorado which she was seeking
Some sharper in New Orleans, as
certaining that she had this money,
told her that gteenbacks would be
of no value to her in Texas, where
gold and silver we're the only cir.
culating medium, and kindly prof
fered to have it exchanged for gold.
Too confding, as women ever are,
she gave him the money, in ex-
change for which he brought her
glittering ten-dollar gold pieces.
Upon her arrival here she first as
certained that the pieces were base
counterfeits, not a particle of gold
having been used in their manu-
facture.

plight until the good Brotherhood
came to her assistance, they hay
