Onions and peas are both Egyptian,
But horse chestnut is Thibetian.
Tobacco came flom old Virginia,
Parsley was first known in Sardinia.

The poppy nodded in the gardened East,

Aud oats were sowed first in North Africa;
Celery Of yore entrenched in Germany,
And chestnuts roasted soon in Italy.
The suufower came to US from far Peru.
Til all this you commit, thus far will do.

POCKET DICTIONARY.-W Pocket Die
tionary, in its present shape is great improvement
over all previous editions and I'll similar works. In
the first place it is neatly printed, and bound in mo-
rocco with gilt edges Then contains 200 pictorial
illustrations, which give much clearer idea of the
meaning of many words than could possibly be con-
yeyed by the usual definition. The little volume
while being larger than ordinary pocket book
embraces in its vocabulary careful selection of
$4,000 of the important words of the language
with definitions sufficiently clear though necessarily
brief meet the ordinary wants of any requiring
its use. Preixed to the work tables of money,
weight and measure abbrevations, words and phrases
from foreign languages rules for spelling explanations

BoUNTIEs TO CoLoRED SOLDIERS
Mr.. Cobb, of North Carolina, introduced
in the House bill amendatory of existing
laws, and granting bounties to colored SOL
diers of the United States who were slaves
previously to the 10Th day of April, 1861.
The bill was referred to the Military Com
mittee.
1t is singular fact that bounties have
not been granted to colored Federal soldiers
who were formerly slaves, though granted
to all other soldiers. Every consideration
of justice dictates that Mr.. Cobb's bill
should pass. Four-ffths, probably, of all
the colored soldiers had been slaves. "We
are coming, Father Abraham, three hun
dred thousand strong" and they did come.
1.-THE colored troops fought nobly." Thou
sand of them fell in battle in defence of the
starry flag. Let them have bounties. Let
there be justice to the military, and equali-
ty of compensation and reward to all who
fought to suppress the rebellion, as well as
civil and political equality for all. Those
soldiers who were formerly slaves should
be placed on the same footing with those
who were free. The nation owes this to
them. We believe the people will say
amen to it.

The Two Reports.

The majority and minority reports O.
1.-THE Joint Select Committee appointed tc
inquire into the condition of the late insur.
rectionary States" &c., have been submit.
ted to Congress.
Each of these reports is most remarka.
BILE document, with features which are posi-
lively startling, the two together being part
OF one of the blackest chapters in Ameri-
can history; the one remarkable for its
records OF one OF the most terrible and
flendlsh OF csnspiracies, and that, too,
against poor, unoffending men and wo-
men, and even children; and the other
| report remarkable chiefly for an exhibit of
that crooked and mulish side of human ma
ture-not to say wolse-.which permits
men to shut their eyes to the existence of a
most revolving conspiracy-w permits
| intelligent and even honored men to delib-
erately refuse to characterize Alright the ter
rible Ku-Klux rebellion, and all because of
partlsanship, because they would save
little longer the worse than useless, the al
ready dead Democratic party.
v ell may the minority stand aghast as
they contemplate the legitimate effects of
the awful work testified to before the COM
mlttee. Well do they guess that it needed
Will iSPoie W SIuciu, IL SIllelu IN part IL
might, the whole Democratic party from an
arrangement before such bar of the peo-
pie as would inevitably make final, without
hope of redemption, the ruin into which
that party has already plunged. The mi-
nority are, indeed, correct in their iudg-
ment of their majority report they saw
clearly, in very truth, that the bare facts
of that report, unchallenged, would not
only be fearful condemnation of the
widespread conspiracy which has
hundreds and hundreds and hum
dreds of times wet the soil of
the South with the blood of innocent
colored and white Republicans, but that it
would also be condemnation of the Demo-
cratic party itself, North as well as South,
the one wing, with its armed and disguised
and cruel as cowardly two hundred thous-
and conspirators the actors, and the other
wing of the party the sympathizers and
defenders in these deeds of blood. The
majority report is exactly what the minori-
ty took it to be; and as they themselves
were not deceived, SO they can rest assured
that the nation itself will read Alright.

Southern Tariff Views

question, "Does the South want the tar

"Cne of our contributors enters his pro-

The issue between him and another of our
valued contributors involves questions Of
great moment to the Southern States at this
time. Under our old system ofpolitical econ
omy, the South did not want protection to
manufactures, because we had no manufac-
lures to protect; and we wanted none to
protect. We desired rather to enter the
market free Of import duties, and sell our
raw material where prices ranged highest,
and purchase our fabrics where prices
ranged lowest. 1t is true that such a
