A Washington correspondent who
has some reputation for exact in
formation ard precise statement,
writes that Secretary Stanton's
friends will not rest quietly under
the imputations made 10 General
Shcrman's book. In fact, writes the
correspondent, Sherman is not Re-
publican to- day, and he thinks as
meanly of an Abolitionist as he did
twenty years ago, when he was an
apologist for slavery.
Well we are glad to know that
Tecumssh has some redeeming traits

India Rubber.

Among the numerous products of the vegeta-
bic world there are, perhaps, not many which are
more largely employed for useful and and scien.
tfc purposes than caoutchouc, considering, more
over, how primitive, in most cases. is the method
Of its preparation, and how very wasteful, it is
fortunate circumstance that the trees which yield
it are numerous and widely spread over different
countries. But, notwithstanding these many
sources of supply, fears have been frequently en-
tertained that the substance in question will be-
come scarcer and scarcer and ultimately fail al
together. Though we do not share in this appre
hensiOD, it is gratifying to find that the Indian
Government have, for some time past had their
attention turned to the possibility Of scarcity
in the supply, and are not only endeavoring to
introduce from other countries the trees which
yield the best juice, but are taking steps to place
our indigenous trees under proper regulations.

CRIME IN EsoLASD.-Engsh journals are dis
posed TO regard what there is distinctive in
American civilization as something like excres-
cence, shonId take a critical survey of the field
nearer home. Certainly in the matter Of crime
the United States do not approach Great Brit
ain. The infinite variety and utter brutality of
crime in England is to US astonishing. The Iiy-
erpool Weekly Albion Of June 18th contained
four columns filled with the details Of terrible
crimes many Of them distinguished by some in
genious contrivance in the way of brutality. One
candidate for the gallows is charged with placing
fagots Of burning wood under his wife's clothes,
as she lay in bed in q state of intoxication. Au-
other husband, who had depended for some
months upon his wife's earnings for support,
found his supplies growing shorter and shorter in
consequence Of her failing health, and proceeded
to punish her for presuming to be sick by pro-
cess Of strangulation, which throws 0thellO's
feats in that line into the shade. If these were
exceptional instances the deduction to be drawn
from them would not be so bad bot they only
exceed in ingenuity scores of Others. Altogether,
as an Eastern contemporary remarks, the crimi-
nal record Of England appears to be alarmingy
on the increase.

the war-thOse particularly worthy ofcelebration

and finally the teacher turned to our friend and
said. Brother, cant you tell Us who the Saddu-
