a Venr aco and Now.
On Monday next, the 39th Congres be
gins its session. How changed the condition
from that when Congress met a year ago !
Then, the sound of mighty war came up
from all quarters of the T6t field on which
it had raged for most of the four previous
years. Sherman with his great army had
been for weeks lost to sight, working his
way remoto Irom any base of supplies or
aid. without any power of communication
between him and the Government Irom
Atlanta through tlio heart of Georgia, to
reach, if possible. -sorae indefinito point on
the seaboard. We heard from him only in
theicports of rebels claiming partial suc
cesses over him. and rjronhecvini: the 6ure
destruction or capture of his whole force
We did not bcliovc them, yet we oould not
but be anxious . for when before in any land
was there such a hazardous and daring move
ment? Months had rns-ed away since
Grant with his large army had occupied the
position below Petcisburgh, and so far as
tho popular eye could sec, ho was no nearer
tho capture of Itichinond than when the in
decisive battlos ot tho Wilderness were fought.
On the banks of tho Cumberland, fre h
and bloody battles between tlie forces under
Hood and Thomas were impending. True,
tho courage and spirit of the loyal people of
tho North did not fail them. They had just
met at the polls the band of conspirators
against the nation" honor and liberties, who
declared the war, on tho part of those who
had been at the head of affairs for four
Tears, a failure and a disgrace, and that
peace must lie sought at once by concessions
to the rebels and they had given them and
their deluded followers a stunning defeat
With unabated zeal they were filling up the
Union armies with freeh recruits. Yet, to
outward appearances, the rebel leaders were
js determined certainly were a defiant

V,"c need not rccuuut what took place be
tween that tiins and tho middle of April
1..1W Sherman snept through Georgia and
S mill Carolina, bow Savannah and Charles-
t in were captured, how fiercely and how
loi.g the battle raged below Petersburg, how
Kiclnuond in flames by the lianci of retreat

Union troops ,how Lee and Johnson surrender

through the Streets of ilicliin md, how Jeff.
D.ivi fled and wait cuptuicd, bow that
black deed of treason and murder at Wasl
iiuton pent mourning, wieping and unguis
over the land, and caused a shudder of hor
rr ti. rough ut all Christendom. In a few
xi.-irt months, all these great events like
the sudden ehifung of scenes in a theatre
pAhsed before us.
All tl.j lias passed away. almost like a dream
of the night. Eight hundred thousand men in
arms Lave bt en fjUietly disbanded aod font to
tl.cir homts, fleets of armed ship have been
deprived of their armament and sold to be u
ed .cacefiil oomtnetce. lite iron monitors are
stowed away in harbor. From tho groat lake1
to the Gulf of Mexico, from the bunks ol the
Potomac to the Kin Grande, not h ?litiry
squad ol toen U arrayed in artua against the
National Authority ; not a fort, ship, or
outpuct has the nVl confederate flig fjjiur

from beyond the Ul.-.ntb-. l'hc Unitiii State
is f twken of abroad only as a irre-at uud
powerful nation whose friendship i tuost
important and whose commerce is to bt
sought for.
But though Congress has no niore work to
do in providing for the wnnts if n mighty
war, it has a great woik liefore it to secure
a lasting rience, and to promt timt poison
ous clement which wa the cause of so mucli
bloodshed and woe, Jroin pwrjietuatmg its
life and power of mischief. There is n large
body apparently 11 yet controlling laxly of
men at the South who hope to regain by
craft, by false pretences and by the aid 01
those who sympathize with them at the
North, the ascendency in the National coun
cils which they bad for so long a period be
fore the rctallion. Under tho deceptive
phras! "no Stato can take itself out of the
Union" a most dangerous doctrine is
assccred by many. The language
of a large p" ,uat every
State, even though it wased cruel
and relentless war against the National au
thority, for four years with all its resources,
and says it submits to what it cannot help
now, since it can not fyht any more, has
a right to take forthwith its place in Con
gress by its senators and representatives, un
questioned, just as if it had always been as
loyal as tho best ; and that flagrant rebels
have a6 good a right to elect and be elected
to State and National offices ns those who al
ways were the most loyal. This monstrous
doctrine cannot be admitted without imper
illing the future of the Nation to a fearful
degree. Though the Executive and Congress
may well lean towards mercy to the guilty,
yet treasjn is a great and dangerous crime.
To overlook it wholly is to weaken the power
of the Nation for good, both at home and
abroad, beyond all reparation. We have no
iear that the National authority, exercised
through any oritsdepartmcnts.will bo guilty
of excessive severity tcwards tho people of
the South who have levied war against its
authority, taken individually or collective
ly. Whatever might tbo course in govern
ments on a different basis in such a case,
the jropeneities oi a popular government do
not lie towards severity. They are all in an
opposite direction, and so much the more in
this case will it be prudent lor Congress to
be careful not to commit itsell to false steps 1
which can not bo recalled. !
There is little doubt jotr, that before long ,
tho Constitutional Amendment will have fur intoxicationtwaa fined $5 and costs Tuet
been ratified by the requisite number cf day by Recorder Bead,

a nullity in the former slaveholding States.
That the old slayebolding spirit of the rul
ing classes there will exert itsell to make it
so no man in his senses can doubt. Cbnjrn ss
must put that out of their power. That
being settled beyond question, tlio southern
communities will tbo more speedily fall into
better ways, and the golden maxim, do to
others as ye would that they should do unto
you, will gradually be recognized as proper
to be followed towards black, yellow and red
men as well as white men.
The subject of the National finances will
of courso occupy largely the attention of
Congress, and our relations to other nations
cannot be neglected. Of these we shall bo
better able to speak when we shall haTC seen
President Johnson's message and the accom
panying documents.

and thus brought my shoulder blades in con
tact with tbe old lady's knees, which were
certainly as jointed as the human anatoui)
is capable of. At cicry lurch of the cacli I
was threatened with instant precipitation
like a cbcmicalsalt. Besides', tbe wagon
master's boots were directly under my nose',
and tbey.did not emit the most delicious
odors'. " In fact they smelt like a kitchen
chimney when some very unwholesome cook
ing bad been done. Foitunately. I couldn't
sleep, as I h've no doubt a night-mare com
posed of small shoes and bad cookery would
have settled upon me
At Fort Kearney the unalloyed delights of
our jjurney fairly cgan. There we took up
an Irish woman with a sick boy. Tbe mother
had that peculiar feminine Irish odor, as
though she bad been dipred in cold soup aud
bad sojirtd n drying. A penetrating odor
that will not be shut out, and that, like jea
lousy, " grows by what it feeds on " But
the boy ! Everything else faded into insigni
ficance before his all-jcrvading presence.
He pertntattd the entire coach, and perhaps
several varus around 11. i-oki soup necaine

the roughest part of the road. Then tbe
cork had to bo picked out with a pen-knife
Sjme of tbe milk was slopped intoa tumbler
and some spilled on tbe clothes of the pas
sengers, and the infant was fed under diffi
culties. The bottle was replaced behind the
mother, and in the numerous joltings of the
coach was capsized, covering the whole lor
ward scat with a milky way. No more milk
could be obtained fcr twenty miles, and the
infant, although just fed, with the perversi
ty ot illness, screeched tearfully at the loss
ot his cow.
During tbe days, which were warm and
pleacant, wc could enjoy a tree circulation of
pure and invigorating air. But the nights
were cold, and with closed curtains we strug
gled with our fate. At wayside station',
benighted travellers, anxious for a lift,
would apply for admission :
" Any room inside?"
Yen, sir, plenty Step right in, sir.
Middle seat right by the window."
Said window being on tbe windward side
s close shut, to keep out the night air.
Scarcely seated, the bewildered traveller
looks about him in apparent dismay. Has
be made a mistake, or is this really one of
the coaches of tbe Overland Stage Line?
Are tbe j-eoplc about him wholesome travel

Up goes the window with a bang, and
the unfortunate settles into his seat uith a
groan. Presently he lowers it again for an
inch or two, and his eager not may be seen
projected abote the sash, and sharply defin
ed against the night sky. At length be can
bear it no longct. and suddenly lowering the
window, he calls out. " I say, driver, I'll
ride outside ll you please." He isn't used
to it as we are Otbcr wayfarers take hii.

Iiis example.
At Junction House wc rcceied nn addi
tion to our company, in tbe shape of an old
gentleman and a rifle. Ho took the fre
quently vacated seat and looked about turn
with the usual wonder and dimay, and fid
geted nervously with bis ride, contriving
somehow to joint at each ol us successively,
as it be were desirous of shooting something.
At last be brought it to bear on the lady be
iund him
' Is that gun loaded, eir?"
' Ye, ma am, but juu needn't be afeaid
on it, 'twon't go off."

about to follow the example ot bis predeces

" Madam." turning to the Irishwoman,
' hadn't you better lay that child on the

We await the answer with breatblet anx

Thank God ! for that degree ot infantine
perversity. The old gentleman, who is evi
dently a bachelor, commences a lecture on
the proper training of children, when he
happens to recollect that his saddle bags are
exposed to the weather. He lugs in an enor
mous pair from the roof of the coach, that
look as if tbey might have afforded a ufr
place of retreat during the deluge. These
are continually slipping down on the sick
child's feet and eliciting sharp yells ot Bgony.
" I presume you have no horse, sir." I
quictl remark.
No sir, I have no borsr," Rp.swrrs tho
old gentleman somewhat irritably. " What
made you think ol it ?"
Ob, it only occurred to me that if vou
had one, you'd want him inside-."
A wrathful glance from me to tbo saddle
