C0froN BURNING BY THE REBELs-The
New York Commercial speaks as follows of
the insane conduct of the rebels in burning
their cotton as means to induce England and
France to raise the blockade of the cotton
ports


But assuming the worst--nay, granting that
every pound of cotton in "Dixie' has van
ished, or will vanish into smoke, it is only the
rebellion preying on its own vitals. 1t may
strike mankind mute with moments aston

will only recoil upon the authors of it. The

the actors of a tragedy so atrocious can safely

Gaping from their deserts here, find his way to

At very large Union meeting at
Cooper Institute, New York, on Thurs
day evening, Gen. Wadsworth, the Union
candidate for Governor of the State, was
present, and made very telling speech,
from which we extract the following:


i announced at an early stage in this
canvass that l did not propose to come
on to New York until after the election
was closed I have been induced to
change that decision by the earnest solic-
itation of some of my friends, and by my
own consciousness of the great magni-
tude of the questions involved in the can
vass. l stand before you candidate for
your suffrages; but l come with no per-
sonal claims If / know my own heart,
l come with no personal aspirations. /
have seen with pain the undue and exag
gerated personal eommendations with
which my friends have referred to me,
and have thrown aside with contempt
and scorn the ealumnies with which my
personal enemies have assailed me.


1t is my deliberate and solemn convic-
tion that here in the State of New York,
here, more even than upon the Shenan-
doah and in the valleys of Kentucky
is the battle being fought which is to pre-
serve our liberties and perpetuate our
country.

We have been shown a private letter from
a soldier at St. Louis, from which we make
the following extract concerning the head
quarters of the Major-General:


"We have dress parade on the sidewalk
between Gratoit street and Chouteau Avenue,
almost in front of the Brand House. where
Fremont used to hold forth while messengers
from Gen. Lyon and Col. Mulligan waited on
the sidewalk, anxious to get an audience with
the General, but were kept waiting until Lyon
was killed and Mulligan surrendered. We
have a different commander now. No Hun

more for form than anything else, as they

A DFFICULT QUESTION ANswERED.--Can
anybody tell why, when Eve was manufacture
ed from one Of Adams ribs, hired girl was
not made at the same time to wait on her :?


We can, easy Because Adam never came
whining to Eve with ragged stocking to be
darned, collar string to be sewed, or a glove
to be mended, right away, quick, now p
Because he never read the newspaper until
the sun got down behind the palm trees and
stretched himself yawning out, AiD't sup
per most ready, my dear 2" Not be He
made the fire and hung over the tea kettle
himself, we'll venture, aud pulled the radish-
eS and peeled the bananas, and did everything
else that be ought to ! He MIXED the cows
aud fed the chickens, and looked after the
pigs himself. He never brought home half o
dozen friends to dinner when Eve hadn't any
pomgranites, and the mango season was over
He never stayed until eleven o'clock to q ward
meeting hurrahiI 6 for the out and ont candi-
date, and then scoded why poor Eve was crying
Inside the gates. To be sure he acted rather
co8ardiy about apple gathering time, but then
that don't deprecate his helpfuness about the
garden He never Played billiards or drove
fast horses nor choked Eve with cigar smoke
He never loafed around the groceries while
solitary Eve was rocking little Gains cradle
at home. Ii short be didn't think she was
especially created for the purpose of waiting
on him, and wasn't under the impression that
it disgraced a man to tighten bis wife's cares
q little.


That's the reason that Eve did not need o
hired girl, and we wish it was the reason that
none of her fair defendants did ?-Excsongs.

IRoN-PLATED vEssELs-oF-WAR.-t appears
that since the instructive affair in Hampton
Roads, between the Monitor and Merrimac, the
inventive genius of the North has been turned
to the production of an endless variety of iron
plated war vessels, and that Mr.. Secretary
welles is almost buried in the mass of plans
and specifications which have been poured in
upon him. What we want now, however, is not
any new invention, to be reduced TO a practical
experiment year or two hence, but a half
dozen iron-plated vessels to meet those of the
rebels at Norfolk and New Orleans, in the
shortest possible time Meanwhile, as it is
apprehended that the Merrimac may soon come
out again, with two or three other iron-coated
steamers, and that the little Monitor may not
be able to cope with them all, we again urge
upon the government the simple and certain
safeguard of sinking two or three or half
dozen old hulks in the mouth Of Elizabeth
river. The Monitor can take them there in the
face of the rebel batteries.
