It is no little tribute to the prominent wis dom of those distinguished men who framed the Confederate Constitution, that iii that in strument alone are to be found stern and ef fectual remedies for the enormous villainies that at present crust the best government the world over saw from its head to its heels.? Starting with the principles that the ultimate power of government should be in the hands of virtue aud intelligence, and that the ad ministration of government should bo at once efficient, permanent, and honest, the framcrs of the Confederate Constitution, while taking the old Federal Constitution as the basis of their handiwork, inserted into that instrument such wise and salutary provisions as offer the only hope, iu tlicir adoption, of good govern ment to the North. Yes! we do not hesitate to say that only by conforming to the main provisions of this "rebel" Constitution as they call it, the Constitution of the Confederate States, can the people of the North assure themselves against bankruptcy, and not only bankruptcy, but even a worse measure of des potism than they have meted cut to Us. At this day one ol their greatest curses is the unrestrained exercise of that hoggish rapacity in their public men which for so many years was held in chcek by the stern front presented in Congress by the Southern delegations.? Now it runs riot; theft is the order of the day, and if anything were needed to show what nests of pilferers their halls of council are, it would appear in the fact that the Jae simitn of any loil member's frank may be ob tained for three dollars. With personal honesty at this despicable ebb, it is not surprising that the public men of the North are but so many prairie wolves tugging at the carcass of the State, and that if in some way they aro not flowed off of their prey there will soon be nothing left of "the best Government the world ever taw" but its whitening bones. Some of them sec Ibis and are casting about for a remedy, and, so fur as there is a remedy for such a state of things, they must find it in the Conlederate Constitution, distasteful as that may be. That instrument was made for an honest people and to be administered by honest men,and if this trooly loil North wishes to save itself from being robbed by its own chosen representatives, it must bring theni up to the honorable mark ol the fundamental law of the Southern Confederacy. By that law no money could be checked out of the Trrtisury save on a two thirds vote of each house of Con gress, so that when the people's property was taken it Was taken by two-thirds of the people themselves as represented in their h-gislative halls. IJy th" Constitution of the United j States a majority of cither Uonsois a quorum | to. do business nnd a majority of a <|'i'ivuhi can check out every dollar in the Treasury and run iu debt for fifty times as much more.? j As at present constituted, that corrupt body which cails itself the United States Senate, I cousists of GO members; of these. 34 constitute a quorum ; and ol this qaorum a bare majority, of IS, can pass any appropriation bill however large, so that the reader will see, the Treasury can at any moment be at the mercy of IS I ropucs out of 00. The same disproportion I exists in the lower House. There are 220 members; a quorum is 114 ; a majority of a quorum, 58; and 5S out of 220 cau pass appropriation bills. Now if the honest rule of the Confederate Constitution were applied it would take 44 out of CO in the Senate and 15 L out of 220 in the House to draw a dollar, and this must bo incorporated in the future government of the North or else it is bankrupt. The pill will be a bitter one for the loil, but swallow it they must. What was wrong iu the Confederacy, and being human, it had some wrong about it, has passed away. What was right, and the right far, far out balanced the wrong, still lives ; it is immortal, partaking of the nature of its mother, Truth ; and, howl as these Radicals may, will yet compel theni to admit its merit aud accept its sway. [ Hanncr of the Smith. [From the Memphis Avatanchc, Jan. 13. Fruits of Eadical Kcconstruction. Bast Thursday night, our readers will re member, a negro named Wash Ilenry left the neighborhood of Bartlctt Station, on the Memphis and Bouisville Railroad, eleven miles from Memphis, and carried with him a white girl named Ellen Jones, a daughter of a blacksmith, for whom lie had been working. The father came to Memphis; the guilty pair went to Germantown. on tho Memphis and Charlcstown Railroad, by travelling across the country in the night. The girl stopped or was detained at Germantown ; her colored escort fled on to Collierville, eight or nine miles further, and about twenty-five miles from Memphis. At Collierville ho was over taken by a party of Mr. Jones' neighbors, six young men, who got on the right track and followed the fugitive from Bartlctt. Mr. Jones hastened to Germantown and returned sadly with his daughter to his home, six miles southeast of Bartlett. The persons who cap tured the negro found 8100 on his person.? The girl, by the way. is seventeen years old, says she gave him that out of the 6400 or ?500 she stole from her father, to take her away from home. She was determined to go, she said, as far as the money would convey her. Iler leading idea seems to have been to got awav from the restraints of the parental roof. The" nesro was conveyed across tho couutry towards Bartlett, to bo examined on whatever charge might be preferred against Iiitn. tSix men liad him in chargc. AVhen within about two miles of Bartlett, just after dark, a party ol twenty-live men. all masked, rode up and demanded the prisoner, who was riding be hind one of the young men. They refused to give him up. but were so entirely surround ed that they saw resistance would be useless. One of the maskers rode up and was about to shoot the negro on the horse. The young man in front of him remonstrated and wus struck over the head with the butt of a pis tol. The end of the matter was that the ne gro was surrendered, and very soon afterward several shots were heard by the six young men, who had been permitted to go on un molested. On Saturday the body of the ne gro was found riddled with bullets. A cor- j oner s inquest was held, and the jury render ed a verdict that the deceased was shot and I killed by unknown persons. Wellington and General Lee. i Io the last number of tlie Southern Review there is a paper instituting a remarkable com parison between achievements of the Duke of Wellington and General Lee, which has an interest peculiarly attractive at this time. The Review, speaking of the achievements of Wellington, says : J As compared with those of General Lee, they seem, including even Waterloo, absolute ly insiguilicant. General Lee, with a force | not so large as the Anglo-Portugese regular army which Wellington had under him when 1 he encountered Massena in 1809?not half ! so lar"e as his whole force, if the Portugese militia be taken into account?in the space of twenty-eight days, in three battles killed and wounded more than Wellington ever kill ed and wounded during his whole career, from Assaye to Waterloo, both inclusive. In one of these battles Lee killed and wounded marc men by 0.000 than the Frcnch | army lost, including prisoners, in the whole campaign of Waterloo and the pursuit in the gates of l'aris. In the same battle he killed and wounded more men than Wellington, Blucher and Napoleon, all three together lost in killed and wounded in the battle of \\ a terloo, by 5,000 men. In the second of these battles he killed and wounded the same num ber that both the opposing armies lost in the battle of Waterloo; and in the third he killed and wounded more by 1,000 men than the French alone lost in the battle of Waterloo. In the three battles togethdr, Lee killed and wounded more taen by at least 30,000 than | the allies and French lost in the whole cam paign, including prisoners. The force with which Lee operated never amounted, at one time, to 50,000 men ; the force with which Wellington and Bluclicr acted was, according to English estimates, 190,000 strong. The force to which Lee was'opposed was, from first to last, 240,000 stroll?; the force to Which Wellington ' and Blucher were opposed was but 122,000 i strciri". When Massena invaded Portugal in ; 1810? Wellington had 80.000 Portugese reg-* j ulars, who, at the battle <-f Busaco, accoiding j to Wellington's own account, "pioved tliem ' selves worthy to fight side by side with the British veterans," besides 40.000 admirable i Portugese militia. He had Lisbon for his ' base, 'with a British fleet riding at anchor, j and innumerable vessels of other descriptions ; i plying between the ports of England, anil : bringing the most abundant supply of arms. provisions and munitions of war. He had ' surrounded the port with the most tremen dous system of fortifications known in modern times, and his task was to defend the strong est country in Europe. In Lee's ease, lus enemy had possession of the sea, and could and did land a powerful army to attack the very base of his operations, while lie was fight in 2 another stil! greater strength in front, j It is probably not altogether just to Welling ton to institute this comparison. If his deeds look but common-place besido the achievements of his campaign, so do all others. The history of the world can not exhibit suoli , a campaign as-that of Lee in 1801. i Hard Times for_tkc Farmers. There is no use in disguising the fact that money is decidedly scarce among the farmers I ?as a general tiling. For some years past many of them have invested their surplus earnings in Bonds and Stocks of various kinds,'and now they find themselves quite short of ready cash with which to pay their taxes and their debts. They do not feel like selling their grain at present prices?Wheat | at ?1 A)0 and Corn at ?1?and if they did, the j millers have no money to pay them the cash, ? and they think they may as well have their I grain in their barns as their note or due bill j iii their pockets. Then again, hundreds of farmers have no grain to sell. The last rye crop was a failure, and the wheat does not thresh near so well as many people thought it would last harvest. The corn crop was a good one, but they need that to feed their stock. Taking all these causcs together, ! money is as decidedly scarce amongst the I farmers just now as honesty or patriotism ! amongst the thieving lladical politicians at ; j Washington and Harrisburg. When they I i como to the banks to borrow a few hundred i dollars, they are told that they "have their ! hands full to accommodate their regular cus- 1 ' tomcrs," and away they go to borrow from ! some private individual, at 10, 12 and lo per - cent. This is the case in our county, and we suppose the same state of things exists else 1 where. We have heard farmers say that they I "have not been so poor as they are now, iu i ten years." These arc not the good times ' that we were promised before the election.? I That's sure. If Seymour had been elected, ! all the blame for this would have been put I upon his shoulders. "It's a poor rule that ^ won't work both ways. [.lllaitowii Democrat. What is History Wortii.?Who de serves the credit of taking 1 ort licondcroga/ I This question just now is exciting great at tention among the Vermonters. According tc all the traditions. Colonel Ltlian Allen both planned the expedition and captured thejort rushing into it one fine May morning in 1775, and demanding its surrender "in the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Con gress." Now, af ter the lapse of nearly a cen ! tury. comes irreverent, prying,inqusitive New i Yorker, named Be Costa, cites evidence to | show that Allen had nothing to do with the I project, further than to belong to the storming ! party. It was he says one Colonel John Brown of I'ittsfield, Ma-s who first suggested ! the idea ^Benedict Arnold was the chief com i niandcr of the fofces ; and as to demanding j the surrender of the fort in the manner com monly desiribed. Allen was an atheist who did j not believe in Jehovah, and no Continental Congress had yet como into existence. Napoleon's Opinion of ins Mother.? ? At St. Helena. lie said : "My mother had a . grsnd character ; force and elevation of soul, and a noble pride. She watched with a so- j licitude unexampled over the first impres- 1 sions. Unworthy sentiments withered in her presence. She instructed her children only I in what was grand and elevated. Falsehood j she held in abhorrencc, aud every other trait ' which indicated base tendencies. She knew ! liow to punish and how to reward; she watched narrowly over every thing that con cerned her children," ? "John did you over bet on a horse race?" j "No, but I haTe seen my sister lSet an old I mare !" I POETICAL. THE SERGEANT'S STOBY. BY CHARLES FIM1TRY.

MISCELLANEOUS. Anccdota cf Tlicnnas F. Marshall? The Ifon. Thomas F. Marshall, of Ken tucky, once a prince of pood fellows, was de fendiuga man charged with murder in Jessa mine county. Judge Lush presiding. The testimony against the prisoner was strong, and Tom struggled hard on the cross-exami nation, but to little purpose, for the old Judge was inflexible in his determination to rule out all improper testimony offered on the part of the defence. At last Tom worked him self into a high state of excitement, and re marked that '-Jesus Christ was convicted upon just such rulings of the court that tried him." "Clerk," said the Judge, "enter a fino of ten dollars against Mr. Marshall " "Well, this is the first time I overheard of anybody being fined for abusing l'ontius I't late," was the quick response of Tom. Ilere the Judge bccamo very indignant, and ordered the clerk to enter another fine of twenty dollars. Tom arose with that peculiar, mirth pro voking expression that no one can imitate, and addressed the court with as much gravity as circumstances would permit, as follows : "If your Honor pleases, as a good citizen, I I feel bound to obey the order of this court, and intend to do so in this instance; but as T don't happen to have thirty dollars about 1110, I shall be compelled to borrow it from some friend, and 1 see no one present whose confidence and friendship 1 have so long en joyed as your Honor's, I make no hesitation in asking the small favor of a loan for a few days, to square up the amount of the fines that you have causcd the clerk to enter against me." This was a stumper. The Judge looked at Tom and thou at tho clerk, and finally said : "Clerk, remit Mr. Marshall's fines; the State is better able to loose thirty dollars than I am." Lossof Children.?Those who have nev er passed through this fiery furnacc, which tries the inmost heart, eaunot sympathize with bereaved parents whose hearts bleed over their children dead. To describe the anguish which rends their hearts as they gaze upon the loved forms on whom their fondest hopes and aspirations had rested so firmly, now eold and lifeless hi their coffin-home, would require a pen dipped in the very essence of the sub limest sorrow itself. None but the parents can feel it, and none but those who have mourned like then),can sympathize with those who mourn the death of their childaen. The loss no power on earth can driDg back and place them again beneath their parent's loving gnzs and fond care. From earth they have taken their final departure, never, never to return. The little chair they occupied, the little plate and knife and fork they used, will be to them of service no more?but merely lonely mementoes of their existence. The patter ot their little feet upon the floor, and the music of their sweet voices, will greet the parent's ear never again on earth. AH will be a recurrence of all that is dreary and dis mal. 15ut hope, plumed by religion, points to a happy meeting in auother and better wotld. ? An Ohio editor is getting particular about what he eats. Hear him : '-The wo man who made the butter which we bought last week, is respectfully requested to exer cise more judgment in proportioning the in gredients. The last batch bad too much hair in for butter, and not quite enough for a wa terfall. There is no sense in making your self bald-headed, if batten; 35 cents a pound." j Bob-Tail Fashions.

The clown at the circus wears riot a more stunning or particolored costume; in fact, his lias the advantage of being sufficiently 'aut"?to use a nautical phrase?not to inter* fore with the locomotion , while theirs?what with disgusting humps upon their backs and big rosettes upon their sides and shoulders, and loops, and folds, and buttons, and tassels, and clasps and bows upon their skirts, and | striped satin petticoats, all too short to hide often clumsy ankles?and more colors heaped upon one poor little fashion ridden body than ever were gathered in one rainbow?and all this worn without regard to temperature, time or place I say this presents a spectacle which is too disheartening even to be Cotuical. Gcie cannot suiiic at the younj; girls who J arc,one day Heaven help them ! to be wives | and mothers. and mothers! I say to myself, as I see the throat and neck with only the protection of a gold locket between itSclf and tlio cold autumnal winds. Wives and mothers t I say, as I see them running their feet and throwing their ankles out of shape, in the vain endeavor to walk on heels like cork, fastened far into the middle of the sole of their boots ; and those boots so high upon the calf ol the le^r, and so tightly button ed across it, tnat circulation is Stopped, and \ iolcnt headaches follow, Wives and mothers ! I say, as I see tiio heating and burdensome pannier tackled on the most delicatc portion of a woman s frame, to make still surer con firmed invalidism. \\ hat fathers, husbands, brothers, lovers can think about, to be willing that the woman they respect aed love should appear in public, looking like women whom they despise, is a marvel to me. W hy they do not say this to them, and shaiiie them into it dccc-nt appearancc?if their glasses cannot effect?I do.uot know. Oh the rebel it is to meet a lady, instead of a ballei-girl! Oh, the ralief it is to seo a healthy, fir:n Stepping, rosy, broad-chested, bright-eyed woman, clad simply with a dress all of oue color, and free from bundles and tags! J turn to look at such a one with trtte rcspcct, that she has the sense and courage, and good taste, to appear on the street in a dress befitting the sticet; leaving to those poor, wretched women, whose business it is to advertise their persons a free field without competition. If I gecm to speak harshlv it is because I feel earnestly ou this subject. I | had hoped that the women of 18CS would have been worthy of the day in which thev live. I had hoped that all thoir time would not have beeo spent in keeping up with the j chameleon changes of fashions too ugly too j absurd for toleration. j It is because I want to be something, to do ! something higher and nobler than a pcacock j might aim at, that 1 turn hcart-sick away from : these infinitcssimal fripperies that narrow the i soul and purse, and leave nothing in their wukc but emptiness. Nor is it necessary In [ avoiding all this, that a woman should look "strong miuded," as the bag-bear phrase "oes It is not necessary that she should dress"likc her grandmother, in order to look like a decent Woman. It is not necessary that she should j forswear ornamentation, because it were better and more respectable to have it confined to festal and home occasions and less to public promenade, ^he is not driven to the alter native of mullling herself like an omuibus driver in January, or catching consumption with her throat protected only by a gold locket. Oh, how I wish that a bevy of young, hand some girls, of j;ood social positions, would inaugurate a plain, lady-like costume for street and church wear! I say young and hand some, bccause if an old woman docs this, the little chits toss their heads and. say, "Oh. she has had her day, and don't care now, and wc want oars." Now, that rs perfectly natural and right too, that you should, as girls say, "make as much of yourselves but in doing so, don't you think it would be well not to lessen or cheapen yourselves ? and I submit, with all deference, to your dressmakers and iuainmas, that every one ot you who appear in public in the manner I have described, are doin-r this very thing?are defiling womanhood and are bringing it into derision aud contempt whether you belieyo it or not.?

J A writer in the Argoty, says: "Dr. JIc j Xiah happening to sicep in damp sheets. dreamed he was dragged through the strSW j Dr. Symonds witnessed in his sleep what he | thought was a prolonged storm of thunder [ which he was afterwards able to trace to the' light of a candle brought suddenly into the dark room where he had fallen asleep. lie relates that a person having a blister applied ; *l's liC&d fancied he was scalped bv a party ? of Indians. I remember, when a boy, sleep | ing in a strange house, in an old fashioned room, with an oaken stot<> ajfpboard over the ' b,ed 1 dreanftd that I was leia-fmurdcrcd the assassin struck me on the bead, and awoke' with a sense of pain in tbat region.

I felt almost too ill to cry for ! help, but at length I alarmed the household and on procuring a light it was discovered | that some fermented jam had leaked through | the bottom of the cupboard, and had fallen upon my head in a small, sluggish stream. "A few mouths aj;o, shortly before going to bed, a friend had been discussing with me the peculiar instincts of animafc, and particularly their sense ol the coming on of a storm. After this he dreamed that he was a Worcester short horn, grazing on a pleasant meadow on the Herefordshire side of the Malvern Hills. He had a number of companions?signs of a storm appeared in the sky?a misty vapor hung on the well-down beacon. He remembered dis tinctly, although he was a cow watching with a sense of great delight, the beauty of the preliminary tokens of thestonn. With theoth ereows quietly he strolled towards the shelter of an adjacent tree, and waited until the storm should break. He was cbewiug the cud and relished its herbaceous flavor. He distinctly remembered wagging his tail. Yet all tho time he had fall /ea?oning faculties, and a lively sense of th<f beauties of the scenery."' -? Subscribe for the Spirit of .7*J/lrscn.

How the Richest Man in tho World Lived* As every one is interested to know how so rich a man as Baron Rothschild lived, corres pondents are pariicular as to ever* movement of his daily life. It is stated that ha ros? every morning at six o'clock. Uis body sef vant shaved and dressed him. Meantime, M; Bondeville^tescher of elocution, who fits peo ple for the stage) read the newspaper* to him and told him the gossip of the greenrooms of 1'aris theatres, lie was dressed for the day nt this hour, putting on even a white cravat. Ife next received a Prussian named Bernard, with whom he examined the quotations from the great exchanges of Europe, and decided upon and gave orders for the transactions of the day. He next received the correspon dence clerks, took from there the more im portant letters which required a reply from the baron, and approved or modified the pro posed replies to other letters. Then the al moner came in and reported on the poor relieved, end received new instruction*. He then went to M me. de Rothschild for her in struction*. After tlio almoner retired th? baron received his experts, inch who kept him informed of all art and book sales ; they made reports or received instructions. He then went to breakfast. All the family met at break fast .and usually one or two of his married children were present. After breakfast the baron went to his office (which was immedi ately on the street and separated from his bouse by the court-yard; a covcrcd way reach ed from one to the other) to receive people. At t\to o'clock he Wotild sometimes go to the Bourse, or oftcner to the auction mart, lor be was fond of buying objects of curiosity and pictures, llo would return to his office at four o'clock drive down to Chateau de Surense or Hois de Boulogne, returning at 5 o'clock to his club, where he would play whist at ten sous a point until dinner time. During the Inst pare of his life he became eccentric in it good many small matters. lie carried a portc monnale which was closed by a lock, although lie never cariied more than fitty francs about him ("if a man carries more he is sometimes led to extravagant expense," he used to say), and often nothing at all. Ho carried the key of this lock on his Watch chain. The mem bers of the club in the Rue Royale used Id laugh to see the baron fumbling for his key, and even his lock (his sight was latterly im paired), and when, at last, lie managed to open the porte-monnaie, to find it empty. Aftef dinner he reeived company at borne, or went to some thtatre. Tho Holy Land. The Chicago Journal has a correspondent who is strolling through the Holy J,and and 1'alestine. lie is not particularly impressed with its present state, whatever its past may have been. Ho says : "1 have not seen ii wagon road in Palestine. liven the stones and timber for building the houses in Jeru salem must be brought into the city upon tho backs of camcis and donkeys ; and the rond* over which Abraham, Pavid, Christ and tho Apostles once traveled are but paths winding over the rocks and aroutid the base of sterilo mountains. In fact the whole land, said to have been so beautiful, is now but a rocky, barren waste' I think [ have seen more good land in one square mile iu Iowa or Illinois than in all Palestine. Mneh of the country is occupied by the Bedouin Arabs, and for the privilege of visiting the river Jordan and Dead Sea their Sheik requires S2 50 from each per son. I'or this am.Hint he sends a guard ot' Arabs with you. The population of Jeru salem is said to be bnt 11,000." The corres pondent, upon this fact, moralizes thus;? "While looking at the city as it now stands, with narrow streets filled with dogs, Arabs and filth, it is haid to realize that it was once ; the home of more than one million human beings, and the proud metropolis of a mighty nation. While looking out of the windowat the Mosque of Omar, where the Turk bears rule, I can but ask myself the questions, is it possible that on that spot stood the temple of Solomon ? Is it there that David held his court ? The pages of history answer, yes.? That spot is Mount Moriah. Upon that ground stood ^hat Temple whos glory filled the nholo earth." TAKING i r Treks.?The following rela tive to taking up trees for transplanting, ac cords with the view.* we have often expressed, but tlicy cannot be repeatcd'too often ; they * were given at a rcccnt meeting of a;?Kul(ar ists at New Haven. "An enormous amount of money is lost lo tree purchasers from rude and unskillful ta king up. Trees arc oftcu torn tip by lbs routs, as if the trunk and branches were t)ia one thing ncccstary, and The proper way is, to side of the tree with iti'j the ethje towards the free, go as a root.

Soon after hor ' husband had paid the debt of oatnre, leafing her his legatee, a claim was brought against the estate by his brother, and a process was served npon her by the sheriff of the county, who happened to be a widower of middle age. She was much alarmed, and meeting with a female friend, she exclaimed, with agitation : "What do you think 7 the sheriff has been j after me!" '-Well," said the considerate la dy, with perfect coolness, "he is a very fine man." "Hut he says be has an attachment for me," replied the widow. "Well, I have long suspected that he was attached to yotl, my dear." "But yon don't understand ; he says I must go to court." "O ! that's quite another affair, my child ; don't you go so far as that?it is his place to come and court you." ? An Irishman was directed by a lady of large size to secure and pay for two seats in a stage coach, as she wanted comfortable room in riding. The fellow returned and said, "I have paid for the two seats yoa told me to ; but as I could not get but one for the inside of the coach, I took t'other for the outside." ?
