BUFFALO. June 9.-The propeller

The reason cf her detension, was the
breaking of steam pipe, causing her
to leak badly. No damage was done
to the cargo. She will be all right in

BUFFALO, June 9.-The command
ing officers inform us that there
are as many as 5000 Fenians in
Buffalo. They are generally quiet
and orderly. Very little if any trouble
is anticipated, as not one-fourth of
them have arms or could get any here
A number of them believing that
transportation had been furnished by
the Government elsewhere to send
them home, applied to Gen. Barry to
send them back. Gen. Barry had
telegraphed to General Meade for in
structions on this point. 1t is pretty
certain that if the Government does
not send them home, they are likely
to stay here for some time. Most of
the men have no money, and General
Barry's order No. of yesterday pre-
vents them from travelling on rail-
roads.


A movement was made up the lake.

1t is said that in dock-yard in England a

a large multitude had assembled to witness the
launching. The wedges we're knocked away
but the Immense mass remained moropess.-
Before feeling of disappointment: began to
manifest itself, little boy ran forward =. and
commenced pushing against the vessel. His
efforts excited the ridicule of the spectators;
some laughed, some made fun Of what they
called his "childish folly" others cried out "the
ship will move nov, little, great big Harry
Harper is pushing" No sooner did little Harry
hear these words than he turned Indignantly
toward them, saying, 81 can push pound

BY abstaning from the use of ardent spirits
and talking to your little companions on the
importance of following your example-you can
push pound in helping on the temperance
cause.


Your dear mother has many cares at homo.
Little brother must be looked after, and little
sister, must be kept from falling in the fire, and
breakfast prepared at the same time. Mother

for them while mother is busy around the cook

father comes home at evening with his brow
shaded in gloom and heart as heavy as lead.
You say to yourself, "tather does not look as
happy as he once did" You know the reason
though, he has lost nearly all his property, and
is without means to commence business again.
What can you do, dear child You can push
a weight of care from his heart by letting him
sec that you intend to be a young man, whose
acts shall give him the proud satisfaction of
knowing that you are steadily walking in the
path of virtue, and that he may look to you in
coming years as his solace and stay. Push
away, then, with all your might, dear child; and
try to remove all the difficulties you can out of
the way of father and mother.


Who, of my young readers, will push pound!
If you will only push your pound now, you will
yet be able to push with the strength Of man,
and the world will be better for your pushing.

and girl be good for one pound at least.

A CLASS THAT SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED.
1t affords US pleasure to record the fact that
there many freedmen in our midst who con-
duct themselves properly, and are doing all i"
their power to obtain an honest living for them
selves aud those who are dependent upon them.
This class should be encouraged to pursue the
course they have marked out They should re-
ceive at the hands of all entirely different
treatment than that showed to the idle and
vicious negroes Whenever freedman keeps
in his proper place and is disposed to work, and
obey the laws, he should be SO treated that be
will continue his good conduct.

For number of years past upon the or
ganization of every new City Council, a
committee has been selected on "City
Map, - but up to the present time no map
has appeared, nor is it at all likely that one
soon will appear, and we are still without a
map of the city. Heretofore it has not been
considered of sufficient importance to press
the matter with any great degree of yigor,
but now that the limits of Wilmington have
been extended mile or two on the West,
and to the Delaware River on the East; our
people are anxious that this work should be
consummated at the earliest possible mo-
ment Our artistic friend Virgins, who
seems to have been the Chief Engineer of
the "new map" for long time past, may
find it very pleasant to nurse this job, hut
the people are getting little anxious about
it, and unless the work is pushed to compile
tion within reasonable time, private enter
prise will accomplish it. Demands are made
for a city map on every side 1t has been
but few days since we heard an entcrpris-
ing business man declare that he would take

as soon as good map should appear There
are others also who would subscribe literally
to the same object, and ii our City Fathers
intend to furnish city map at all, they
should push the work forward with all pos
sible dispatch, otherwise they may wake up
some fine morning soon, and find that private
enterprise has performed the work for them


We should have map showing the boun-
daries of Wilmington, with the various
wards properly and clearly defined and
marked so as to render it of greater utility
than any heretofore offered to the public
Such a map would meet with u ready sale
By all means let us have city map from

Republican devotes column to a dog fight.
We copy paragraph:


"Then McCloskey and Jennings went
through tho important and somewhat peri

precautionary measure consists in getting
down on the knees and tapping the tongue
to the dog on the breast and between the
shoulders, in order to convince the other
side that he is clean, and that no poison has
been applied externally for the purpose OF
injuring the other dog if he should bito here.
Each man has the right to require the other
to taste the dog in any part that he may in

ing here last evening. In the course
of his remarks, he said the Govern
ment must be restored on the princi-
pies of justice, equality and liberty
God forbid that the rebel States
should ever resume their place, ex-
cept on these principles; he would
rather transmit the struggle to the
next generation than have the ques-
tion settled on any other terms. We
cannot consent to any restoration that
does not protect the loyal men of the
South, who stood by the flag when it
needed support. He was willing the
traitors and their allies + should
remain in the country, but if he
had the power he would hang
at least some ha1Re dozen of the
leaders who got u -ne rebellion and
murdered three hundred thousand of
our loyal soldiers. He believed. in
Andrew johnson, as,he was, and our
Congressional representatives as they
are; he denounced the recreancy of the
President; then reviewed at length
the course of the President, charging
him with the usurpation of power not
delegated to him by the Constitution
Congress had done all it could
although not all we could desire; inn
partial suffrage, without distinction Of
race or color, would have been our
wish, but Congress has done the next
best thing; if the South is to gain a
dozen representatives in consequence
of the abolition of slavery, who viii
have been the victors in the late war
Did we fight the rebellion down only tc
give the South more power in the

The ANDERsoNvILLE PRIsoN-TRe
Southern Side Of the ,Story.-The fol-
lowing extracts is from f. A. Pollard's S
last work, entitled The Lost Cause;


But the history of the Confederate
authorities to relieve the sufferings of
Andersonville, through some presump-
ton of exchanges does not end with
the proposition referred to as made
by Commissioner Ould, TO exchange
men and leave the surplus at the dis
position Of the enemy. 1t was fol-
lowed by another more liberal and
extraordinary proposition Acting
under the direction of the Secretary
of War and seeing plainly that there
was no hope Of any general or extend
ed partial system Of exchange, Com
missioner Ould in August, 1868, offered
to the Federal agent of exchange.
Gen. Mulford, to deliver to him all
the sick and wounded Federal pris-
oners we had without insisting upon
the delivery of any equivalent number
of our prisoners in return. He also
informed Gen Mulford OF the terrible
mortality among the Federal prison
ers, urging him TO be swift in sending
transportation to the mouth of the
Savannah river, for this the purpose of
taking them away. The offer of Com
missioner Ould included all the sick
and wounded Andcrsonville and all
other Confederate prisoners, held by
the Confederates.


lie further informed Gen Mulford
in order TO make the Government safe
in sending transportation, that if the
sick and wounded did not amount TO
ten or fifteen thousand men, the Con
federate authorities would make up
that number in well men. The offer,
it will be recollected, was made early
in August, 1868. Gen. Mulford informed
Commissioner Ould that it was direct
ly communicated TO his Government,
yet no timely advantage was ever
taken of it,


This interesting and important fact
is for the first time authoritively pub
lished in these pages. 1t contains
volumes of significance. The question
occurs who was responsible for the
sufierings of the sick and wounded
prisoners at Andersonville, from Au-
gust 1868 to 1861 The world will
ask with amazementifit if it was possible
that thousands Of prisoners were left
to die in inadequate places of conine
ment merely to made case against
the South-merely for romance. The
sing lie fact gives the clue to the whole
story of deception and inhuman cruel
ty of the authorities at Washington
with reference to their prisoners of
war-the key to a chapter of horrors
that even the hardy hand of history
shakes TO unlock.
