THE Confederate Brigadiers are
growing frisky in the Senate. They
feel themselves vindicated by the re-
turn of the Democracy to power, and
they are making ready for JEFF Davis
1t is not expected that JEFF. will con-
descend to ask for pardon, but it is un-
derstood that the country should GO
upon its knees and ask Jeff.'s forgive
ness and persuade him to condescend
to take bis seat in the Senate again.
If the views of the Democracy as tc
the relations of the States are sound,
the country owes JEFF. an apology. al

We were awakened, about 4 o'clock
on the morning OF the 23d by terrible
storm of rain and wind. IL was pitch
dark. The whistle Was blown ccntin-
uOusly during the worst of the storm,
and the boat stopped in the middle Of
The river, and kept in a stationary
>ition, being afraid drumming into soue
other vessel. The pilot said il Was the
darkest night he ever witnessed, ana
that the smoke stacks swayed in the
wind like trees 10 a forest. By day
light the storm had ceased, aud we
were within p miles Of New Orleans.
The morning was calm and mid, and
after pleasant sail of two hours, view
ing on either hand the finely improved
sugar plantations, ranged thickly along
tine shores, we came in view of the
Queen City of the South. All eyes

THE President in his veto of the
ehti-Chiuese bill reviews at length the
treaty of 1859 and the supplementary
Burlingame treaty, showing clearly
the commercial advantages gained and
the rights and prerogatives of American
citizens in the Celestial EHpire, and
that the only advantages given to
China under these treaties were re-
ciprocal rights and privileges TO her
subjects living in the United States.
He further points out, while acknowl-
edging the necessity of some action in
the matter, the danger OF the hssty and
irregular action proposed by the bill,
and says that no circumstances could
warrant an immediate withdrawal of
our treaty protection of the Chinese in
this country, or tolerate an exposure of
our citizens in China to the consequences
which might follow, and argues that it
isinoompatible with the national honor,
and, in view of decreasing Chinese i'm
migration, unnecessary to take any &C
tion in the matter other than through
the regular diplomatic channels.

morally responsible fof any of Pelton''

much about it. The nephew, itseems

tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
inc the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffied the best of
human skill. While they produce power
ful effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inflamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

lantern, you see, and flashed it
right in our faces. We didn't
tell him anything then, but he
found out about a month after

Just at this moment we were
interrupted by a pretty, scolding
voice from the house, exclaiming,
"Why, Ben, you will catch your
death of cold, sitting out there
without your coat when the dew
is falling"
Simpson had been over an hour
telling his story. Our pipes had
gone out and the sun had gone
down, but there was still light
enough to mark the placid express
sion Of delight that came over his
face ut the mere sound Of his wife's
voice and I thought l saw plain
or than ever before how it had
happened that the lively little
Susie had married my slow friend,

MORAL BEAUTY.-What is the
beauty Of nature but beauty
clothed with moral associations?
What is the highest beauty of
literature, poetry, fiction, and
the fine arts, but a moral beau
ty which genius has bodied
forth for the admiration Of the
world? And what are those quail
tiles of the human character which
are treasured up in the memory
and heart Of nations-the objects
of universal reverence and exulta-
tion, the themes Of celebration,
of eloquence, and, the festal OF
song, the enshrined of dolls Of hu-
man admiration and love? Are
they not patriotism, philanthropy,
disinterestedness, magnanimity,
and martyrdom?
