Ambitious Boys.

There are thousands of boys born into the
world possessing scarcely trace Of ambi-
ton. Such do not care for distinction, or
even for wealth; if they can procure the
humblest fare, by constant toll, the aspira-
tions of their boyhood, and subsequently of
their manhood, are fully met. They are
negative characters, happy with nothing
and suffer no elation or depression, whether
IN sunshine or under cloud. These boys,
who often afford much modification to am
bilious parents, fill most important niche
in the world; in fact, the world could not
do without them. They constitute the
great army of men who build our railroads.
tunnel our mountains, load and unload our
ships, cut down our forests, and manipu-
late the red hot iron masses which come
frcM our blast furnaces. Scold and fret as
we may, we can not alter the temperament
or proclivities of such boys Nature is
stronger than we are, and we'll is it for us
that this is so. If our boys are born to live
in subordinate or humble positions we can
hardly help it; we may hold them in a false
position by the power of wealth. or strong
controlling influences. but when these fail
they fall at once to their place, in obedience
to law as irresistible as that which New.
ton discovered in the fall of the apple.

General Beauregara was once an honor
ed General in the Confederate armies.
When Ben. Butler was occupying New
Orleans, insulting the women OF the city,
and having them, under his ORDER spoken
Of as common courtesans, Beauregard was
in command of Confederate soldiers, and
was calling upon the women Of the South
to send up their church bells, with which
to make cannontos ssslay the insu!Ters Of
their sisters, and to defend their property
and homes To-day Butler, with all his
scounlrelsm, is man more to be respect
ed by Southern people than the degraded
ex-Gonfederate who recommends. under adj
verse surroundings and reports, as Chair
man of a committee in New Orleans, a
system of social equality thatgoes further
than Summers Civil Rights Bill. He ded-
icates for the future himself, and calls
upon his fellow citizens to do the same; to
the unifcation ofour people, and by ourpeo-
pie, and in the second resolution States
that by our people, we mean all men OF
whatever race, or religion, who are citizens
of Louisiana. Unifcation means making
one of different things. eaauregard Wouio,
for the sake of harmony amalgamate the
races, and place them on terms of perfect
equality in churches, theatres, on cars, and
on steamboats,, in cemeteries and at no.
tells, in schools and banking houses, IN the
social circle and at the family freside, the
negro and the white man. This is from
General Beauregard, once honored Gene
raj of the Lost Cause. To what base uses
do we come And to-day in Southern cir
cles of social respeciability, and through
out the world where Caucasian blood flows,
the name of Ben. Butler should be re
sounded in songs of praise, and Judas
Iscariot be considered high-toned gentle
man, before this uniier OF negro and white
blood should be treated with the courtesy
that would be meted out to the most lgno-
rant negro who tolls in our midst.-lSelma

But little has been heard of this gen.
tlcman since the war. He is now resi-
ding in Baltimore; and was present III
that city OIL the 18th ult., and attended
the floral decoration of Confederates on
that day at Loudon Park Cemetery, and
made short speech on that occasion.
The Baltimore Gazette reports him as
follows:
General Wiglall being called for ap-
pcared and said his heart was almost too
full to speak. 1t was gratifying to him
to know that if the cause is lost, the
spirit which maintained it still lives.
(Applause.] There is something more
in this world than mere material pros
Derity. L.: our hearts there is feeling
of wounded honor, and "truth, though
crushed to earth, will rise again" He
did not cry, "Pcace, peace, when there
was no peace" He accepted the situa-
ton, but even if the manacles that fet.
tered him were gilded, they would gall.
He was opposed to all sentitnentality
considering this subject. General Wig
fall here entered upon an argument to
proye that the Southern States had Il
right to sccede, but was interrupted by
announcement that the subscription COM
mittec was ready to report the result of
their iabors. lie closed by rtnlarking
that as he had been interrupted, he pre-

Cured in by all of those present, and
