3TOKDAT, APRIL 28.1863. t»TUK POOR Iff AN’S coxsnru- TKON.” As the new Constitution is claimed to have been made for the poor man, I pro- pose to examine the SBth section of article 2, which reads as follows—to ascertain how it will operate for the benefit of the poor: “The General Assembly shall so pro <« ride that Fifteen of the most competent « of the permanent citizens in each county “shall be summoned as a -Grand Jury ; « toe&e of whom must concur to find an “ indictment.” Let us enquire what was the law on this subject, and let us ask what oc- caaion there 5s for this change in the law? First, then, no previous Con stitution ever fixed the number of Grand Jurors, but it was left to the Legislature, tiiey were wise enough to leave the number where the common law left it, at twenty-three, at least sixteen of whom must be present, fifteen constitute a quo rum, and twelve of whom must concur to find an indictment. This has been the law ever since the Stale was settled, and no one ever assigned a good reason for cliang ing the number. There are many reasons for not diminislung the number. If any change is required, U would seem that wc | ought to increase the number rather than i diminish it. Arguments drawn from actuil 1 experience arc generally of the most satis factory character, but ought to be carefully examined and weighed, and perhaps no better illustration of the great error in reducing the number of jurors could be found la the his tory of Jurisprudence than two notori ous cases that are within the knowledge of aD, and which have so recently occurred. It-is a notorious tact that with a law re quiring only tuxicc out of twenty-three grand Jurors to agree to the finding of an indictment, Joel A. Xattcson could not be indicted in Sangammon county, notwith standing the general belief and the over whelming testimony that he stole several hundred thousand from the State, and even one of our ex-Majors had influence suffi cient to prevent an indictment from being found against him in Cook county, in what is represented as a very flagrant crime. If such men have sufficient influ ence to prevent an Indictment being found against them, when the law only requires twelve out of the twenty-three to agree to the finding. How can you hope to indict any man of wealth and influence under the same law that requires that twelve out of fifteen agree to the findiug before any indictment can be found? If, under the old law, the accused parly must bribe or influence twelve of the Jurors to prevent an indictment how much easier will it be to prevent an indictment under the new j Constitution, were only lour will hive to he bought or influenced. This looks as though it was intended to enable the in fluential rich man to defraud Justice, and not like a provision for the poor man. • The proposed change is a very unwise one and will lead to the greatest abuses. It may enable men of influence to escape be ing put upon trial for their crimes, which no good citizen, be he rich or poor, desires or wishes. Let equal Justice be dealt out to all alike and if necessary let the number of jurors be so increased that they cannot be controlled by any person whatever—but never let the number be diminished while wc have such evidence as Is before us of the power of some men to defeat the ends of justice by influencing the Jury. The commendable zeal of the Convention to save expense had better be exerted in some other way than by striking down the protection famished by that time-honored and justly-cherished tribunal yclept the Grand Jury. Let us live under the old Constitution, which docs secure equal Justice at loss than half the expense, rather than adopt the iniquitous thing which seems to have been concocted with a view to deprive the poor man of all that he asks from the laws protection to life and liberty. TBAITOBS IK OUR 3XIDST. The fertility of resources, and the activity in their use, which are shown by all the friends of secession, would be admirable in a good cause; but when their end, open or concealed, is to help disunion, hold up Slavery, and guard treason from punish ment, they must rouse the deep indignation -of every loyal man. And these friends of secession, thus busy and efficient in work- ing for the rebel cause, so subtle, and adroit, or firm and defiant in their schemes and conduct, are not confined to those who are actually in the Confederate Army, with arms in their bauds; who have taken the oath to the upstart empire, and serve under the stars and bars. The most active and efficient allies and defenders of rebellion now, are many of them to he found in. Korthem communities, in legislatures that profess loyalty, and among the managers and editors of false and treacherous jour nals and newspapers. These men tdl profess loudly that this rebellion must be crushed, and always just as loudly cry’ out against any measures which threaten to do it. They promim most solemnly that secession is ruin, and disunion the most degrading and over whelming calamity; and still more solemn ly declare their condemnation of all acts that seem to tend to prevent secession, or maintain the perpetuity of the Union. They cannot lift their voices high enough in praise of the wisdom of the Fathers that framed for their children such a Constitution ; bat the profound sa gacity, and devoted patriotism, of thoae venerable men Is most clearly shown in the provisions in that sacred instrument, that defends Slavery against injury and treason against punishment. With lids class of loud-mouthed patriots, to lust after the extinction of the accursed wrong of Unman Bondage is to have committed a felony already in the heart ; and to take any action to overthrowrcbellion and crush out disunion, that may in its re motest effects do harm to Slavery, is to be guilty of the blackest treason,or some other crime too horrible to be named. In the wonderful light that these great thinkers and pure patriots have thrown on the Con stitution, its great end and paramount de sign was and is, to make sure that In no event Slavery, that is, the republic, shall receive any detriment; and also, that if in any event, thcupholdcrsofthatsacrcd insti tution, should resort, under the impulses of their generous zeal and devotion to Human Bondage, to same acts, or be berried into some steps, beyond the strict limits of law, and might be technically accused of trea son, yet it would be a very venial offence, that ought to be pardoned; if treason, yet that crime of such a mild typo, that the Constitution has expressly provided the most impregnable defences against its ever being punished. "V?e hear it howled in our cars by these lovers of Slavery and aiders of rebellion, that you cannot inflict tins punishment on traitors, because it is unconstitutional • you must not aim that blow at rebellion, be cause it is impolitic; you must not lay this just burden of taxation on all the States, because it you do you will set the Border States against you; and you must not' do ' justice or show mercy to this degraded and oppressed class, because such an effort will turn all the remaining Union men South - —and a large portion of those North, in to the most unrelenting enemies. Now any man is most easily fooled who don’t see through the design, and inenvitable result of all this loud talk and these fierce menaces. The hearts of all men who.praclise these things are with secession, in love with Slavery. They mean to defend-and perpetuate both, these erOs if possible; Land if that cannot be done, they hope at least to shield the In etitntion against serious injoiy, and guard AB traitors against damage either in body or estate. Men in our midst are dally uttering those sentiments; presses are daily advocating 1 and cnccur&ging, by every subtle device, aid often villi the most brazen effrontery t'ds rebellion, and this most atrocious treason; and yet the voice of loyalty, spoken in tones of the deepest indignation, passes them by and they hear it as the idle wind. The hand of Justice is not yet raised to strike them; and they go on with a Mnd of insane exulting, scattering fire-brands, arrows and death, and glory in the aA and comfort they are permitted to give to this most wicked re bellion. One thing the? must sec and feel, for it must be as palpable to them as to ns, that the magnanimity of a great and loyal people, and its long-suffering patience to wards-perfidious and cowardly men, who feed and are fed by its bounty, and yet aim j deadly blows at all it holds dear, are be yond all that such guilt and crime could have dared to hope; and that it is most presumptuous to trust that they will endure forever- . Emancipation In Delaware. Tht Ddaware State Journal (Wilmington,) tbe leading Whig and conservative organ in other days, announces broadly the readiness of the Unionists of Delaware to accept the broad issue made up by the slaveholders’ re bellion on the one hand and the President's Emancipation message on the other. The following well-considered leader from its issue of the 22d inst. possesses a National im portance: EMANCIPATION. That the question of Emancipation with compensation will enter largely into our next elections, no one can doubt who looks at the course to which political events arc and have been tending since the rebellion. In deed, it will form the main feature, the con trolling principle, of the party of the Union, throughout the Stales, and will swallow up all other party questions and creeds in the magnitude of its importance and bearing upon the interests of the country at large. The question of slavery has, more or less, entered Into almost every campaign—national and local—for many years past, but in a some what limited or partisan sense. Then, those who dared to advocate emancipation—no mat ter how honest or consduntous may have been their convictions—were catted “Abolitionists,” “Union-Splitters,” “Fanatics,” and other vile names hunted out from the prolific vocabulary of Loco-Focoism; and all manner of evil in tentions against the Constitution and peace of the Union were charged upon them; but now a change is visible in this respect. Abolition has ceased to be the scare-crow of politicians. The people hare learned Irom the rebellion to examine a little closer for themselves, and not to trust so much to demagogues for their knowledge of political ethics. They have seen that, while fanaticism and disunion has been charged upon Northern statesmen and States, treason has been nur tured and cultivated in the South by the slave driving lerds of cottondom, until it has at length culminated in a sanguinary war, which, for ferocity and barrenness of substantial pur pose, is without a parallel in the history of the world. They have seen, too, that those who have uniformly been charged with disloyalty, and a disposition to break up the Government, are the true friends and supporters of the Union, while those whose office it has been these many years post to cry out “the Union is dissolved by Northern fanatics,” arc the real and only foes of the peace, happiness and prosperity of the Republic. The people have learned to appreciate the force and meaning of the terras “ Abolition ist,” “Black Republican,” and other mean epithets which have been systematically and persistently heaped upon those who refused to bow the kueo to slavery and subserve its ambitious designs upon the liberties of the country. Such slang nick-names will no longer serve to cheat honest men out of their votes, hut are passed by as meaningless and insulting deceptions, calculated to cover up the real objects of their inventors, and assist them the more readily to slip Into power and partake of the luxury of public plunder, which they eo well know, from long experience and practice, how to enjoy. Partisan rancor and sectional malevolence are gradually but surely passing away, and a purer current of popular thought and investigation has engaged the minds of the people." They begin to realize Ihe fact that Shivery, and not Abolition, is the perfidious parent of all our national troubles. Tluil.il is the forging of chains for human limbs to wear is perpetual bondage, and not the pleadings of liberty in behalf of all her children, which has to-day deluged the land In blood, and desolated a large portion of the country. That it is the dark shadow of a bar barous and cruel age hanging like a sable pall over the hopes and happineesbfa large portion ofour people in this 19th century, instead of the humanity, truth, and light of the princi ples of the Declaration of American Independ ence, that now impedes their progress to prosperity and usefulness. The thinking masses are alive to these facts ; they recog nize tbclr importance and influence upon the social and political interests of the na-ion, and therefore are prepared to take hold of the 1 slavery question with a determination and zeal that will forever set at rest the disturbing de ments of which it Is made up. Men are, to-day, willing to be cilled Aboli tionists, who, one year ago, would, have felt insulted at even a* distant intimation of any such idea. The word has lost its evil spell; and thousands of honest, patriotic, loyal hearts arc ready to inscribe Emancipation on their banners, and bear it on to triumph through the storm of bullets or the more c alm battle of the ballot box. The rime for this has come. The North is ready. The South must be, and iu the great moral revolu tion where will our own Stole be found? In the ranks of treason? No, no, no I Dela ware must and will be on the side of liberty. She cannot step aside from the track of patri otism; she must not refuse to do her duty; she will not lag behind her sister States in the forward march of human great ness and Christian, charity; she will be free. Free from all taint of disloyalty. Free from any suspicion of complicity with treason or traitors. Free from any further legal sanction of that gigantic curse which has so' long bound her to sluggish inactivity and limited her pow er and influence as a State. And as she emerges from the blackness of the cloud In which all her local interests have so long been buried well nigh unto oblivion, she will be free to declare, in all the pride and majesty of her redemption, that henceforth and forever she will give full and entire recognition and scope to those inalienable rights of man, “ Life, Liberty, and the pursuit' of Happi ness. ” Thus will glorious little Delaware be found. No othtr position in the momentous struggle will become her. TUe Telesraplt Censorship* [From the N. V. World.] Is it stupidity that controls the censorship of the telegraph, or is it spite ? Arc the peo ple taken lor idiots to be played upon, or are they nckoned outlaws to be punished? Sure ly there is some sort of infatuation. Nobody without it. could play such fantastic tricks be fore high heaven. They declare it Is very important that the enemy should not have notice of onr military plans and movements. It is notorious that through the many rebel sympathizers within our army lints, in and out of office, the rebels have uniformly Learned, in advance, every \ step our Generals have taken, or proposed to j take. The tremendous secresy enjoined upon | the Northern press in regard to the embarxa- , lion of the army upon the Potomac fiotdli, i on tlnir way to the peninsula, where am mg j the find rUcovertes made in the deserted camp of ihe enemy was a document specify ing with the utmost exactness every derail of the txp< dilion, is now recalled only to be laughed .it. Bnt the upshot of cv( ry j-imilnr attempt to keep the enemy iu the dark has ended in the same ludicrous incon gruity, Wcbelieveourwarauthorltiea would t-uve themselves a. vast deal of trouble if they would assume, once fbr all, that the enemy 1 will know their every movement before it can j be cankd out, and would recognize that the triumphs iu this war arc to bo won not by the stealthiness of the fox but by the daring of the lion* This censorship isbeingrunintothegrouad. To such an absurd extent is this despotic practice being carried that specUl pains are taken at Fortress Monroe to keep from the agent of the Associated Press even the eight of every Southern newspaper that may find its way under the flag of truce. There seems to be a purpose to keep from the northern people all information respecting the doings and feel ings of the rebels. The whole policy lu this • regard is precisely what micht be expected If j there were a rebel army in 'the North as well | as in the South, making it important that all communication between .the two should be prevented. But It is especially in reference to the acts and experiences of our own army, that this telegraphic jealousy most absurdly display s itselfT The principle seems to be to suppress everything that is. unfavorable, though it is certain to come to. light within the next day or two by the mail letters of public and private correspondents, with which this pragmatical censorship dares not in-cr medcle. This method la at last so perfectly understood by the public that all telegraphic announcements, known to have the Govern ment'sanction, are doubted, until confirmed by private assurances. Could there be anythisg more damaging to the character of the Gov ernment? This telegraphic secrctivcucss is not confined to military concerns. We saw it displayed the other d»y in the suppression, of the circumstance that the President’s horses took Iright while he was on an excur sion; a fact which the .grave IntfiHgenccr thought llworth while to noUco. Whetherthe sapient ccntora imagined that tho extended publicity of the danger which for a moment threatened the President would give aid and comfort to his enemies, or would unstring the nerves of his v friends. Is quite beyond conjec ture. It Is Mr. Stanton, wc suppose, who is really responsible for all this absurd business. He it is who appoints the censors, and therefore it must be ho who manages the censorship. There is, too, a certain characteristic style of .action in it. Its lark of practical discrimina tion and its arbitrary bent strike every one. I? - The Springfield (III) Board of Aider men is politically tied, with a Democratic Mayor to give the. casting vote. The Repub licans would be content .to divide tho minor offices, but the Democrats wanted all; and so, while the Republicans stayed away, the six Democrats filled the office by resolution, the Mayor ordering that the Republican names he recorded as voting nay, in orderthata quo rum might appear to bc> present, .and that ho might exercise tiie casting vote. |sgr*The Detroit Frte Prm 'claims Edward Salomon, the New. Governor of Wisconsin,. as a Democrat. In point of fact/Mr. Salomon was the straight Republican candidate, and had a clear majority over his two Democratic competitors, one of whom was on the Union ticket with Gov. Harvey. Our Pittsburg Letter. [From our Special Correspondent.] STEAMER TWPKBTAT., SAVANNAH, April 1562. OUH SICK AND ’WOUNDED HEBE. "We 6tDl have, from Illinois, about six hun dred and fifty now at Savannah. The next boat is to take as many of them as possible to Mound city, or some other point where they can be furloughed and sent home. WHAT OUGHT TO BE. Ills almost impossible to conceive of the mud that is found along this river at present, and of the very hard labor onr sol diers have to perform in unloading the boats and transporting provender for the horses and riders of the army. There are hundreds of negroes La this region, belonging to the most bitter of the enemy. These men, (the blacks) who are able and ready to perform this work should be brought here and put to work upon this kind of business, and the health and strength of our men be preserv ed for the operations of the field. W2IAT OUGHT HOT TO BE. Some of our regiments, who have been in the service for seven or eight months, have not received their pay, nor any portion of It, while regiments by their side have been paid. It may be on account of some irregularity as to pay-rolls, or something of the sort, but still it ought not to be. I am just informed by thd agent that vessels will leave here now regularly, carrying the malls to Cairo, We hope therefore to get some more information from ‘ < Aalerici. ,, You may expect every day to hear from this point news of an interesting character. THE CHAVES OF OUB MEN. As I rode over the ground to-day, I oh seivcd how carefully onr men had been burled and their graves marked. At the head of the grave of the Eleventh regiment, the boys have set up a nicely hewn shaft of timber in monument form, with the names of the men marked thereon. THE SPIBIT OF OUE MEX. Amid all the rain and mnd and unpleasant matters attending the army at present, it is pleasant to notice how cheerfully our men bear it all. Said one of the boys, “I have been accustomed to take my eggs on Easter very soft, but this time they gave them to us rabiir hard.' 1 Xl»e Cultivation of Chinese Sugar Cane. Traxsplaxtixg. —R. Tuttle, of Mlshowaka, Ind., writes us that his experience in cultivat ing Sorghum is that the crop will be forwarded in the spring at least two weeks by trans planting. He recommends soaking the seed in warm water until it begins to sprout, then prepare a small plat of warm ground, and sow the seed broadcast or in drills, one inch deep. If it be likely to freeze cover it with straw. When up two or three inches, then transplant it in your well prepared ground, about the same manner as you do cabbage plants. Set about five plants in a hilh By transplanting the cane gets a decided start of the weeds, which is a great advantage; and it will ripen two or three weeks sooner. The labor ot transplanting is very small compared with the benefits. Will Chinese Case Hybridize with In dias Corn ? —Upon this subject, Lyman ilca cham, Esq., of Lemont, writes us as follows “ I sec In jour report of what was said and done at the General Sorghum Convention re cently held at Adrian, Mich., that a number of the speakers express the opinion that sorghum will mix with maize (our common Inian corn) to the detriment of the former. This may be so. One well established fact is worth more than any quantity of theory. But lam of the opinion that to produce the hybridizing or mixing of different varieties of plants, the va rieties subject to change must not only be cultivated in the same vicinity, bnt they must also be in blossom at the same time, so that the pollen—the fecundating dust —produced by one of the varieties may be conveyed to the female organ of the other variety while that organ is in the condition to receive andappro priate it, otherwise no injurious effect will be produced by the near proximity of the differ ent varieties of Diants. Is this not so ? I have cultivated sugar cane almost from its introduction into the State, and have noticed its progress towards maturity. Compared with that of corn, and according to my obser vation, the corn crop is in tassell and in blos som, and is entirely past the season for throw ing off its pollen long before the sorghum be gins to show its seed heads. Tnis being the fact, how can the two hybridize? Who ever heard of maze and broom corn ruirgmg to the detriment of either? Nature’s laws arc sel dom violated. If it be true that sorghum, and maze will miv, the fact cannot be too soon known, and guarded against, for the fact is notorious that in this corn producing region, sorghum and com frequently grow side by side, and in most cases they arc grown in the immediate vicinity of each cher. If the opinions alluded to are correct, a different course must be pursued by tbe Growers of sugar cane seed, or we shall soon have none worth planting.” Proposition to Establish a Sorghum Re finery at La Pokte Ixd. —A meeting was held at La Porte, Ind., on the 15th inst., to consider the propriety of erecting a refinery in that town for the manufacture of sorghum. William Andrew presided. After discussion the following preamble and resolution were passed unanimously: Wheeeas. Sofficlent experiments have been made to show that the profitable cultivation of the Chinese and African sugar canc. in this lati tude. remains no longer a doubt; therefore 2ie*6lT€d, Th*t the establishment of a sugar re finery with a manufactory attached of, sufficient capacity to’manufacta-c and refine forty or fifty barrels of syrup per day would be of great pecu niary value to the citizens of La Porte county and vicinity—benefiting the city hy iatrodacing manu facturing interests—the farming community by stimulating and creating a demand for ;he cultiva tion of a profitable plant, and the people gener ally, by ridnclng the prfce of syrup. A committee of 34 was appointed, represent ing all the towns of La Porte county, to ascer tain how much cane is to be raised in the county and vicinity, and to solicit subscrip tions for a joint stock company. Gerrltt Smith on Colonization* [From his recent letter to Montgomery Blair 1 I do not choose words too strong to express my emotions when I say I am alarmed and dis tressed at the multiplying indications that a political Caste Colonization party is in process of organization, and that gentlemen of the high standing and anti-slavery antecedents of yourself and Senator Doolittle are favoring it. It will, from the fi'St, act in concert with, and will probably soon become openly one with, that portion of the Democratic party which its Pro-Slavery leaders are now at work to rally, finch a Colonization party is dtei ingulshable In name only, and not at all in effect from on. open pro-slavery party. The unconditional patriots in the Democratic as well as the Republican party feel that the present is emphatically no time for such work. Until the war, which threatens the life of the country, is ended, they will have no part in building up the Democ.atic or Republican, or any other party. Until then, their one work will be to save the country. I deprecate the nascent colonization party, not because I fear its success. When slavery shall be abolished (and wc are on the eve of its abolition,) the party will die. Hitredof the blacks, which is the pabulum and soul of the party, gets all its life and Tims from si ivery. Slavery dead, and the desire to colonize the blacks would also be dead. You and Senator Doolittle would find no more sympathy with yenr scheme. Nay, you would yourselves have no more sympathy with it. dud if slavery shall live, even the slaveholders will ot con sent on any terms to the colonization of the mass of th*e blacks, either those la or those out of slavery. They wiU, as were the slaveholders of Mary land, be found valuing the services of black men 100 highly to consent to their expulsion from the country. Nor do I deprecate the party because the first actual attempt to drive millions of useful, innocent people out of the nation would begin a war of races la which the dozen millions of Macks in this hemisphere, and the whole civilized wor:d In addition, would be against us. For there never will be this first actual attempt. When the time for it shall have come, the daring and the disposition will both bo lacking. It is for other causes that I deprecate this colonization movement. Its tendency will be to bold back tbe GoTOmment from etrik.- Ing at tie cause of the war, and to produce hesitation, diversion, compromise at a mo ment when, the salvation of the country calls for blows, immediate, united, aud where, at whatever damage to whatever other interest, they will fall most effectively. Not its least lamentable tendency is to foster in the Amer ican people that mean pride of race aud that murderous spirit of caste by which they have outraged and crushed so many millions, and for which they are now in the righteous prov idence of God called to an account so appall ing. Tbe Cabinet Emente at Washlngtoo- Sccretary Stanton and tbe Generals, [f'orreepoLdence of N. Y. Times Thursday ] . There are not many matters of local Interest how before the "Washington public. The re ported ernevte in the Cabinet has excited more attention abroad than it did here. Mr. Stm lon is said to have peremptorily demanded a change of military leaders in a certain dep irt ment, which the President as peremptorily de clined to make. Political experts said the Minister-most resign—but he did not. Tbisdemand for a change of Generals was not made in the district lying west of the fen hessae River, where it might with great pro priety have.taken place. Gen.

Climate, Soil, and tokens of Progress. [The following let ter la from the pen of J. J. GUvra, Esq., formerly an Attorney of this city and now holding a Federal appointment in Washington Territory. It will be read with interest as a variation on news from camp and field.] [Special Correspondence of Chicago Tribune.] OLxariA, Washington Tbbbitoht, ? March 15. 1852. f Your readers may he interested by a few words on the resources and tokens of progress of this region. In the first place as to theefi- mate. The summer is truly delightful; the days are comfortably warm and the nights com fortably cool —excellent sleeping weather. The average winter temperature is notmuch colder 1 understand, but it is then very rainy. The wet season has already com- menced and Is, of course, unpleasant- The country is very healthy at all seasons of the year, except to those predisposed to pulmona ry or rheumatic diseases. To such our long, wet winters are unquestionably baneful. The last remark applies only to that portion of our Territoiy between the Cascades and coast ranges of mountains. East of the Cascades the climate is drier, and more healthy in the particular mentioned, and is generally healthy. The principal available resource of Ibis por- tion of the Territory at present, is its lumber, but that is almost inexhaustible in quantity, and of excellent quality for ship building and building purposes generally. The best spars in the world arc obtained here and of any length required, up to 300 feet. Coil is obtain ed in considerable quantities at Bellingham Bay. The fisheries of the Inlet, Sound, and Straits, •when developed, will undoubtedly prove an abundant source of wealth. Salmon, cod-fish, oysters and clams are obtained in abundance. We arc not only in an excellent place for fitting out whalers, bnt we are almost in .sight of the beat whale fisheries. The amount of land that can be used for the purposes of agriculture, both west and cast of the Cascades, is comparatively small, and it costs a great deal of labor and much time, on account of the density of the timber, to reduce what there Is, to a siate of good cultivation— that is, west of the Cascades. East of the Cas cades, so Jar as I have traveled, the general appearance of the country (after you leave the magnificent and picturesque scenery of the Cascade Mountains) is a barren waste, with here and there a clump of sage bush or grouse wood, and now and then a patch of bunch grass* Occasionally, however, you find run ning through this waste a narrow belt of fer tile soil, bordering a stream, wending Us way to the Columbia. I have not been here long enough to speak more at length about tho climate than I have done, but 1 think it may be truthfully said that our climate on the whole is preferable to that of Illinois. It is ccrtaiuly milder and more equable. From what I can learn, the climate east of the Cascades more resembles the climate of Illinois. Yet it is not there so cold on the average, and is very much dryer, there being scarcely any raiu in the summer. There is one thing more in connection with the country west of the Cascades, which I had nearly forgotten, and that is, that it is the best fruit country in the world. But to] resume. If this country is wanting in agricultural re sources, the deficiency is more than made up by its mineral wealth. The Nez Perces gold mines, about one hundred miles east of Walla walla, have proved very productive the past season. The newly discovered gold mines on Salmon river, about one hundred miles south east from the Nez Perces mines, arc without doubt the richest yet discovered on this coast —at least so t-Aj old California miners. Emi gration is pounug into that country now from all parts of Oregon and California; aud I think it may reasonably be expected that there will be from fifty to seventy-fire thou sand people east of the Cascades, in this territory, by the middle cf next sum mer, Then to the north of us, in the British possessions arc the Frazer River and Cariboo Mines, which are also very rich; and I think the natural result of all this emigration will be to develop all the permanent resources of the country, and especially the agricultnnil. I have no doubt but that the great highway or thoroughfare between the Atlantic "Btites and the Pacific will be by the Missouri River to Fort Benton, thence across the mountains by Mullin’s road to the head waters of the Snake River, thence down the Snake and Co lumbia Rivers to Mouticello, at the mouth of the Cowlitz River, and thence by railroad to Olympia, the head of tide water navigation on Admiralty Inlet. This is the most natural and cosy channel of communication between the Mississippi River aud the Pacific Ocean that exists on the continent. Then this route is capable of a continuous line of settlements for nearly the whole distance. If this new gold field proves what it seems to promise, then the future development of this country will be by rapid strides, and will afford one of the best fields for enterprise in the world. But if the gold mines fail to attract emigration, and the resources of the country are to be devel oped by the ordinary means and way, it will be sometime before Washington Territory will become a State. Unless the mines create a home market (as they no doubt will) the ag riculturalist can undoubtedly find a more profitable location. The best flour lias been selling here the past summer for *5 per bar rel,’aud I dont well see how it can bring more, when I recollect that we depend upon New York and Europe for a market, thereby being brought into direct competition with Illinois and the other Western and Middle States, with the odds of transportation by the way of Cape Horn against ua. It is to be hoped (and I think it may reasonably be expected) that new and more convenient markets will be found for our surplus produce with the increase and extension of our trade with the Sandwich Islands, China, Japan and tho East Indies; but these are all matters of speculation, and in the future at best. But as I said before, iu all human probability, the mines, gold and sil ver (for I forgot to mention that It is suppos ed uxe newly discovered silver mines on Pow der river arc equal in richness to the Washa mines), will create a home market at high prices. On the whole and In conclusion, I think I can safely say that this Territory offers to the emigrant as many or more inducements, than any other portion of our country. No one can fall to find in the variety of soil, climate and scenery here, a spot to suit Ms fimey. And if he choose he can include iu the range for selection, Oregon and California. He who could not then be suited must have a fastidi ous taste indeed. So come one and all who are time inclined, and unless “distance lends such enchantment te the view” as to raise in your minds the expectation of finding perfec tion or paradise here, you will not regret the change. One word with regard to the political and national feeling out here, and I close. lam sony to say that in some ports of our Territo ry there is more of a feeling of disloyalty to our Government, and sympathy with treason and traitors thou there ought to be. But this feeling is very rapidly changing, and we trust and expect to see it soon aud entirely eradica ted. There arc two facts, which explain to some extent the reason of this, and in some slight measure may serve to palliate tho crime, and tbeso are. first: many of our citi zens are from the South where their friends and relations now are; and secondly: the Territory has always been under Democratic rule, and more recently under the Breckin ridge wing at that. But we are rapidly recov ering, and soon will be politically sound and Union to the heart's core. Very truly yours, John J. McGilvu i. Surgeon Turner, of the Hospital Steamer City of Memphis. Os Board City of Memphis. Hospital Boat. ) Caiho, 111., April Si, 1852. } Editors Chicago Tribune: I notice in your paper of the 19th. iust., a paragraph concerning the treatment ou my boat of the rebel, C*pt. Polk, of the Coafod erate army, contrasting his treatment' with that of our own officers of equal rank. Capt. Polk was treated, as stated by your correspondent, “with the greatest delicacies, and wines when necessary, and made tho re cipient of attentions from nurses.” Quite true; but most untrue “ that ono ot our own officers was compelled to lie on the guards and subsist ou pilot bread.” Every private, officer, or other sick gets exactly the same treatment, viz: wines, delicacies and the at tention of nurses, as the Chicago Light Artil lery, and others who have been on my boat, will testify. I had no officers on my boat during Captain P.’s sojourn with me, who did not occupy, or were invited to occupy state rooms, ou re porting themselves to me as officers. Capt. Folk hud no state room, as there was none vacant. My understanding of the treatment of a wounded prisoner, in obedience to Gen. Hallcck’s orders, makes no distinction be tween them and our own. Dr. Simons Is not responsible for my treatment of Capt. P. or any one else on tho City ot Memphis. I am the only person on whom the opprobrium of treating a fellow creature, though an enemy, with kindness should fall. Dr. Simons was not aware that Capt. P. was on my boat for two hours after Ins arrival, as I received the order to proceed'to the hos pital landing and receive Capt P. and other wounded prisoners, while coaling on the op posite side ot the Tennessee river. At this time Capt. Polk was on my boat, I haying taken him on previously. Tinsiing you will correct the misstatement In your paper, I am, very respectfully,. Tour obedient servant, W.

Various Items from Rebel SourceSs [From the Memphis Appeal of the 17th.] Pass Christian, Miss., Aprils, 1863.—The inhabitants of the Pass were aroused from their slumbers on Friday morning at an early hour,' by the report of cannon in the direction of Snip Island. As soon as daylight appeared it was discovered that the Confederate gun boats Pamlico, Oregon, and Carondelst were hotly engaged with four of the Federal fleet, and were slowly retiring towards the Pass, nnder a heavy lire of the enemy. On the arri val here of our gallant little fleet It was ascer tained that the Oregon had been struck by a shell in the pilothouse, and that the Caronde let had been hit in the wheel house. Neither boat, however, being seriously damaged, they proceeded at once on their way to New Orleans, the enemy at the same time advancing slowly with the- iron gun-boats New London, Jackson and Hatteras, and the steamer Lewis, the latter having on board larvy numbers of Lincolnite troops. When wi-hin a short distance of the wharf the boats took their positions, the Lewis in front, fol lowed by the nattcras, Jackson, and New London, all being within a. short distance of each other and directly opposite the town. The Jackson opened nrc in the direction of tbe wharf, at which time a considerable vol ume of smoke was seen to arise from some bales of hay which were piled up beside the warehouse, and which. It appears, had been set on fire by order of some of the officers of tbe Confederate troops. After discharging several shots in the direc tion of the enemy commenced shel ling tbe town, producing the most intense excitement amongst tbe defenseless inhabit ants who, when the shells came whizzing over and about their dwellings, fled in the greatest consternation toward* tbe pine forests. Mothers with infants in their arms, little chil dren in terrified groups, clinging to each other, slaves with bundles upon their heads, hurrying-onward -4n perfect amazement, and Infirm and aged women leaning upon broken stalfs, were wandering about, they scarcely knew whither. Many females were seen upon their knees, and with uplifted hands were most earnestly supplicating God to protect them in their fearful hour of danger and dis tress. It was a sight to move the stoutest heart. The enemy disclaimed the intention of doing harm to any one bnt the Confederate soldiery, if they could find them, or of desiring to shell the town \ When remonstrated with not having sent a flag of truce ashore, said they had done so at Biloxi, and it was treated with contempt, and that they were informed it would be disre garded bv the citizens of the Pass, and that they would not have fired upon the town if the attempt to bnm the wharf had not been made! Bat when I tell you that several dwellings were struck, that a cottage belong ing to Mr. Heirn, situated four doors from the hotel, was completely riddled, and a shell passing through an oyster shop adjoining the market house, crossed the street, and enter ing the upper story of Judge Brill's dwelling, (formerly Masonic Hall, situated over the store of Mr. Brocas, at the comer of Market street,) burst in the entry-way, shattering the rooms in a fearful manner, and, forcing its ■way through the floor, entered tUe store be low, yon will believe their declarations. Most probably Judge Brill’s family had but just left their dwelling when it was hit, or in all human probability some of them would have fallen victims to the inhuman and merci less fire of the enemy. The firing hiving ceased, the enemy commenced landing their troops in small boats, but the steamer Lewis soon coming alongside the wharf, they were then put on shore by hundreds, and proceeded company bv company up the wharf, forming at once into' lice along the street in the direc tion of the market house, all the while the officers disclaiming any intention of harming the citizens, and commanding their men not to enter the dwellings or molest any person. These orders, as faros we can learn, were gen erally observed. The post office was entered, but nothing was found therein that could afford aid or comfort to the enemy, the worthy deputy post master, Mr. Sutler, having removed every thing therefrom as soon os the intentions of the Lineolnltes were discovered. Search was made for armv stores, but of them none were found, all having been previously secured by the citizens. The warehouse at the foot of the wharf was robbed by the enemy of a con siderable quantity of com and other articles belonging to private individuals. The hay upon the wharf belonged to the Confederacy, sud was Sung overboard and now lies floating about in the water. Pickets were stationed bv the enemy in all directions, extending up and down the Pass the distance of three or four miles, and also on the back streets. At 3 o’clock the orders were given to march, and the long line of soldiery, numbering, I am Informed by a lady who counted them as they passed by her dwelling, not less than fourteen hundred-strong—proceeded silently through the streets, with the stars and stripes floating high in the air, In the direction of (as I was told by one of the officers) Tugvillc. The encrov appeared to be folly informed in regard to'the number and location of our troops and the affairs of Pass Christian gen erally. Prominent individuals were inquired alter, and in one instancea young lady’s name wasnmiiliarly mentioned. The little remnant of “ our boys,” about two hundred and fifty in all, under the command of Lieutenant-Col onel Mellon, whQ had just returned to camp, in an almost exhausted condition, from Handsboro, where they had been to join the balance of the 3d regiment, on their way to meet the Llncoinites at Biloxi, were taken quite by surprise, but notwithstanding their jaded condition, they opened fire oatheen cmv and stood their ground manfully under a galling fire, until informed of the vastly su perior force they had to contend with, and of the enemy’s intention to flank and surround them, when the order was given to retreat, which they did in extra doable quick time, carrying with them such articles as they could conveniently, the provisions and ammunition all having been removed early in the day. TTari the whole regiment been together we should have had a different story”to relate. Many a Connecticut Irishman would hive been made to bite the dust. The enemy of course burnt all the tents, the officers’ quarters, and all articles left by our soldiers in their hasty retreat. Not one of our men was wounded, and but one tukea prisoner, and he not until he had fired at and wounded a Lincolnite severely in the arm; not a musket or cannon was lost by our men. The enemy returned to the pass at early can dle light, immediately embarked on board the steamer Lewis, and left the pass, to the infin ite relief of the inhabitants. The force of the enemy, as admitted by themselves, was four teen hundred, and was composed in part of the 9th regiment ot Connecticut volunteers, belonging to the Irish brigade. The officers, generally, were spirited and fine looking men, and the soldiers, well armed and equipped, appeared in excellent condition. We were informed by one of the men that the forces under command of Gen. Butler, now upon Ship Island, amount to 14,000, and that 15,000 mere were expected daily to ar rive; that they occasionally get the New Or leans papers. and receive a mail twiceamouth from New' York. That they arc fully posted as regards the affairs of the coast, wc believe, and that we have had aud now nave traitors in our midst, no one can for a moment doubt. The officers with whom wc conversed, express the belief, in all apparent sincerity, that the rebellion will be put down and the Southern Confede racy completely wiped out, within the next two monibsl H«-ar ye, hear ye', all you that havn’t paid your fare, will, in accordance with the above prediction, plt-asc step up to the captain's office aud settle! “The weary sun. hath made a golden set, and, by the bright truck of his fiery car. gives token of a goodly day to-morrow.’’ We still live I SHARP SHOOTERS WANTED. From tho Memphis Avalanche April 17. The fearful mortality of Confederate officers in tbe battles that have recently occurred in tbe West is easily explained. The enemy has organized companies and regiments composed of the best sharpshooters that tbe country con afford, whose assigned duty it his been to pick off all men appearing on the field wearing plumes and epaulettes. Their experience has induced them to believe, ever since tbe fall of Zollicoffer at Slill Springs, and the panic that afterwards in consquecnce ensued, that the easiest way to route and demoralize our arm ies is to kill their leaders in whom they have such confidence. They havoaccordioglyactcd upon this principle, and to it is due the sacri fice of many of the bravest of our officers, Johnston,McCulloch and Mclntosh among the rest. It is ample lime, we think, for our authori ties to imitate the example set by the enemy :n this respect Let companies of sharp shooters—and no country on the f*ce of the earth can furnishbetter ones than the South —be immediately organized, the most efficient arms be placed in their hands, and put them forward upon every field to spread death and destruction among the leaders of the hordes who are invading our country. A word to the wise is sufficient. We believe that the southern sharpshooter will do service quite as efficient as the' northwestern Yankee with his long range “ telescopic rides.” or so-called “theo dolites.” THEY BEGIN TO FEEL IT. fFrom the Memphis Avalanche. April ITth.j Recent accounts from Nashville show that the despotism established there by Lincoln’s satrap Andrew Johnson, is every day assuming a more brutal and remorseless character. Bneil promises.. that the persons and property of citizens should be protected have been perfid iously violated, and all tbe horrors and brutal ities that marked the original occupation of St. Louis, Baltimore and Alexandria, are being re-enacted with tenfold wantonnessand cruel ly. We hear of numerous arrests and impris onments lately made by authority of Johnston on mere political charges, and it is thought that the arrested parties will be indicted and tried for treason by civil process. If they should be convicted, we may expect some of theShilobcaptives to “pull hemp” instead 6T cotton, before many more moons have re volved. : RESIGNATION OT OKK. GEORGE B. CETT . TEN DEN.

Progressive Signs la UUssonrl-Ji Tear of Peace and Emancipation—lt e turn of Price’s Volunteers—Guerilla Warfare Dlscouragcd—Tlie Opening Campaign. [St. Louis correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune.} There are signs of peace in Missouri more cheering than any since the inception of the rehellion. The certain disbandin'? of the Missouri State Guard by Price, and discharge of ail the men hailing from the State who de clined to enterConfecerateservicc,haab2eafo’.- lowed by the return of these rebel soldiers to all parts of the interior of the State, The counties ‘along the Missouri river—Howard, Pettis, Saline, Carroll, Lafayette, Ray, Jack son and others—are thick with returned rebels and their accounts of the ruined condition of Price's army—the lack of supplies—the hard ships and sufferings have not been sufficiently rose-colored to induce many new recruit’s to leave home to join Price in Arkansas. Their statements as they reach us by letter and ver bally, through people from the country, near ly always agree that the Confederates have given up Missouri.- A gentleman from Rosko • port informed one of our leading citizens yes terday that his son-in-law, who had returned from Price’s army, heard Price himself remark, two days after the Pea Ridge battle, that Mis souri was hopelessly tied to the old Union, and the whole Southern Confederacy could not move her now. The only peace-disturbers now in Missouri are the guerrillas and bushwhackers, who arc still committing their depredations on Union men wherever and whenever they have a chance. There is a large force of National and State cavalry in the saddle, however, in the infected counties, who invariably compel the secession jayhawkers to beat a speedy retreat whenever they meet. Parker, one of the lead ers of a gang’which caused much trouble by stopping Missouri river steamers, has been caught, and is safe at Alton, Qnantrell is the only conspicuous bushwhacker remaining. The best sign is the stand beginning to be taken by late Southern sympathizers against guerrilla warihre. There are few secessionists in Missouri now who are not sincerely anxious for peace. Believing that the lawful authority of the Government is substantially restored in this State, the leaders have intelligence enough, to see that as soon as the guerrillas cease their depredations there will be real peace for Missouri. Meetings arc being held in North Missouri to discountenance the bushwhackers, and the moment they lose the moral and substantial support of the secessionists who remain at home, they must quit their business and go home. Among the most prominent of those who have raised their voices against bush whacking Is Gen. A. W, Doniphan of Clay county. ~Gen. Doniphan was known a year ago as an armed neutrality anti-coercion Union man, which meant the same thing as seces sionist. He staid at home, however, and never took any part in any secession demonstrations. A few days a<ro at a public meeting held at Liberty, Mo.,' Gen. Doniphan cameout a strong Union’man, and denounced the rebellion in good round terms. Mr. James H. Moss, au thor of the amendment pending so long la the Slate Convention, declaring that Missouri would cooperate with her Southern brethren, in demanding her rights, etc., spoke at the same meeting. Mr. Moss is an eloquent talker, and has great influence in his own lo cality. He told the people that the fate of Missouri was settled, and they ought to en deavor to restore peace by discouraging guer rillas. The meeting, which was composed two-thirds of so-called Southern Rights men, passed strong anti-guerrilla resolutions. In Boone county several leading secessionists have published an appeal to their friends to disavow and discountenance bushwhackers in every way, as retarding the restoration of peace to their afflicted State. The contest lately carried on at the cannon’s mouth will be transferred soon to the billot box, and the question of emancipation will come before the people in a direct form. The party favoring emancipation has gained great strength during the last year in Missouri. Their arguments are ten-fold stronger to-day than they ever were. Several old-time Demo •crats have expressed themselves favorably to the cause, and the rapid decrease in the value and number of slaves, and the known disloyally of a majority of the slaveholders has given an impetus to the prospect of emancipation which it never could neve re ceived without this war. There will be a di rect issue on Governor and members of the Legislature. It may be regarded as certain that St, Louis County will elect five Senators and twelve Representatives who will favor the inauguration of measures to rid the State of slavery on the basin proposed by President Lincoln in his Emancipation Message. Can didates will be nominated in halt the counties of the State pledged to the same object, and the subject is being agitated in several parts of the interior. As a beginning this will do, though it may require years to accomplish the desired reform How Kidnapping Works in Kansas— Gen. Sturms’ Policy of ‘‘ Concilia* lion ”—A lively String of Items* Our Leavenworth, correspondent, writing on Monday the -let inst., says: We have had quite an exciting time, lately, in consequence ofanumber of attempts made to kidnap. Since the inauguration of the present stratocracy, our butternut brethren have waxed exceeding bold. They throng our streets, and are saucier than they have before dared to be. Some fifteen unfortunate wretches have been taken by the organized gang of kidnappers that seem to hive a lease to rule us. We arc under martial law, and cannot mA slate of affairs, In deed, thatHhl are arrested on sus picion of indiscreetly and too well, and men cannot safely employ colored people to work on their forms without running the risk of assassination. Still martial law pre vails. Kansas, being a loyal Stole, needs the same for the better protection of these fro wsy, unkempt, fusty, filthy ruffians across the dirty Missouri. These latter, however, do not al ways escape unscathed. Sometimes the con trabands fight, and an occasional scoundrel gets shot. We have had two such cases lately. At the house of an anti-slavery former four miles from town, three colored men arc employed, one ot them having a wife and child. They live iu a cabin near their employer’s house. For some time past they have anticipated an attempt at kidnapping and were prepared. Ou Saturday, at midnight, eight men attempt ed to force an entrance into the cabin, and in the attempt one had his wrist nearly sev ered from his body by a blow from a corn knife; and another got shot by a musket in the hands of a negro. The assailants conclu ded to retire. Yesterday the cabin and in mates were still further fortified in case of a renewal of the attack. On Sunday night, in Salt Creek Valley, sev en miles from the city, a similar attempt was made, but fhiled, owing to the determined re sistance ot the colored man, who, armed with a revolver, mortally shot one of his assail ants. Seven colored men arrived here on Friday morningfrom "Weston jail, where they had been Incarcerated since Thursday night. They were kidnapped at that time in Atchison county, from farms in the vicinity of the river and carried over to Weston, The s*ll is a log building, and they managed to pry hack the bolt ot the lock, while a couple of soldiers (all honor to the Ohio boys) broke open the padlock on the outside. They went down to the river and found a skiff, in which they crossed and are now iu freedom. Another good thkig occurred yesterday (Sunday) at "St. Joe. Some nine slaves who had escaped from thence into Kansas, were pursued, recaptured, and token bock. While passing through the streets to the jails, the lugitives were rescued, the officer knocked down, and a general fracas ensued, lu which the slaves escaped. It was white men that did this. Jeff, Davis’ Conscription Message. [From the Riclimoud Enquirer.] The following is President Davis’ message, recommending the passage of a conscription Taw; To the Senate oncf 77bu*' of Ji*pYivS'A{.\ih'!3 of the Confederate State*: The operations of the various laws now in force for raiding armies has exhibited tho ne cessity for reform. The frequent chaoses and MnenimctsU which have been made have nin th red the sjstcm so complicated as to make it oiten quite difficult to determine wbat the law really is, and to what extent prior amend ments are modified by more recent legislation. There is also embarrassment from conflict between State and Confederate legislation. I am happy to assure yon of the entire harmo ny of purpose and cordiality of feeling which bos continued to exist between myself and tho Executives of the several States, and it is to this cause that our success in keeping ade quate forces in the field is to be attributed. These reasons would suffice for inviting your earnest attention to tho necessity of some sim ple and general system for exorcising the power of raising armies, which is vested in Congress by the Constitution. But there is another and more important consideration. The vast preparations made by the enemy for a combined assault at numerous poluts on oar frontier and seaboard have producid results ihitt might have been expected. They have animated the people with a spirit of resistance so general, so resolute and so scif-sacrificirg that it requires rather to be reguUted than to be stimulated. The right of the State to demand, and the dnty of each citi zen to render military service, need only to be stated to be admitted. It is not, however, wise or judicious policy to place in active service that portion of the force of a people which ex perience has shown to be necessary as a re serve. Youth&undcrthe ago of eighteen ye us require further instruction; men of matured experience arc needed for maintaining order and good government at home, and in super vising preparations for rendering efficient tho armies in the field. These two classes constitute tho proper re eerve for borne defense, ready to be called out in case of any emergency, and to be kep* la tho field'only while the emergency exists. But in order to maintain this reserve intact, it is necessary that in a great war like that in which we are now engaged, all persons of in termediate ages not legally exempt for good cause, should pay their debt of military ser vice to their country, that the burdens should not fall exclusively on the most ardent and patrh tic. I therefore recommend the passage of a law declaring that all persons residing within the Confederate States, between the ages of eight een and thirty-five years, and rigalfnlly sub ject to mflitaiy du r y, shall bo held to be in "the mbitary-BETVice of tho Confederate Spates, andYthat. some plain and,-simple method bo adopt* d for tbeir prompt enrollment and br .fianization, repealing ’ all of the legislation hereinbefore enacted which would conflict with the system proposed. ; 1. ■ Jefferson - Davis. ’ ' A Wife Mofuefb hkß Hdsbaws is Miohx gak.^Awful Tbagedv.—Oii Wednesday eve sing last, at Canton, a Mw.Csvanah deliber ately sharpened a carving knife; walked to the "bedside or her Bleeping husband,- thrust down, -the clothes, sod indict'd three frightful gashes across ids bowels, and concluded her bloody work by plunging the knife into his breast,- near hi* heart.

These frets we glean from the Detroit 4dt*rff«r, HOUSE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS* Canvass of Confiscation and Emancl* patlon. WA3UTKGTOX, April 23,1862. The Honsc Republican caucus to-night, which did not adjourn till 10)£ o’clock, was unexpectedly harmonious. Forty or fifty members were present. Mr. Colfax presided, and Mr, McPherson was Secretary. The only legislative question discussed was the policy of confiscation and emancipation. The following gentlemen made five-minute speeches; Messre. Stevens, OUn, Ashley, Frank Blair, F. A. and S. Conkllng, Kellogg of Michigan, White of Indiana, Trimble, Porter, Potter, Cutler, Davis, Hutchins, Kelly, Covodc aud "Watts. The nnanimous ojiiion of the speakers was in favor of confiscation or emancipation in some shape, and those few who doubted indi cated their willingness to abide by the general opinion. The caucus, without a dissenting voice, finally resolved in favor of a reference of all the confiscation bills to a select commit tee oi seven, a majority of whom should be friends of adeclded confiscatingand liberating policy. The debate showed a tendency to adopt Senator Sherman’s bill, which deprives of property and slaves the leading classes of rebels, such as army and navy officers, persons who have taken the oath to the Confederacy, those who once having taken the oath to the Constitution have broken it, which declares ell who continue in arms for sixty days after its passage Infamous and ineligible to office, and authorizes theEresident to emancipate and : arm the slaves in the rebellious region after S reclamation and the expiration of sixty days, everal additional classes of persons to be furnished were, however, suggested, among hem Southern editors, who liave poisoned the Southern mind and fired the Southern heart. “ There were Giants In Those Days.” Mr. Baranm has received tie newest spring style of giant—a very tasty article, about eight feet long. It is sure to be fashionable, and" to be very much worn (down) during the hot sea son. It is an importation direct from Gath, in Belgium, a country which, for a century or two, lias driven quite a smart trade in giants—controlled the market, in fact, so that if you wanted a man nine or ten feet high you had to send to Brussels for him, and pension all his relatives and friends liber ally before he wonld come away. Ireland, on one occasion, threatened to become a formid able competitor with Belgium in this particu lar, but after producing something less than a baker's dozen of mere dwarfs, seven feet sis in stature, went out of the business. Scotland, too, made a spirited beginning in the manufacture of Brobdignagians, taming out one brawny Cameraman as high as a steeple, who ate so prodigiously as to impov erish his native viDage and slightly pinch the neighboring county. But he died in a sudden access of whisky, and since then Scotland hag economized her material, turning out great quantities of the old six foot two pat tern, but nothing larger. The production of giants is consequently left wholly to Belgium. It is a lucrative industrial pursuit, and Bel gium is to be congratulated, upon so fruitful a monopoly. Mr. Barnum’s giant appears in conjunction with Commodore Nutt, producing an effect similar to that which would be created by tho Colossus of Rhodes walking arm in araTwith Canova’s Cupid. One is eight feet high; the other but two. The Commodore has to lift his voice to get it as high as the giant’s knee pan. Most people would repel friendly inter course and turn misanthropes if they had to go up a ladder to shake hands with their friends, but such is the rigorous condition imposed upon the Commodore by bis association with his big companion. Together they play a piece which is called the 41 Ogre and the Dwarf.’ It Is really refreshing to see a stage giant which is not of paste-board. ThegUat of the pauto minc and the extravaganza is always powe fully deficient in point of legs. He is suffi ciently broad of beam and ample of girth, thanks to the deft adjustment ot pzpicr mache and toggery, but his u pins " betray him—they are limp and exigunons, and the overhanging bulk careens fktuitously. The Belgic Maximin who “coadjutates ” and seeks to consume the Commodore, is free from the deficiencies incident to the artificially con structed Anakite. He is bulky, vast and real. He ‘‘ means business.” There is not a particle ot nonsense about his appetite, as exhibited in his dramatic manifestations. He is de termined upon making a lunch of the Commodore, and uncertainty as to whether he shall broil or fricascc the morsel gives him a pensive, meditative air. He is overcome at test, however; story-book and stage giants al waysare; in real fife they are apt to knock the dwarfs out of time and have It all their own wav—such is muscle. But on the stage the little fellows have the big fellows quite at thcr mercy, and force ttKmto throw up the sponge ; Commodore Nutt collapses the Ogre in the tilth round, and dances a saraband of triumph upon his breast bone.

Mr. Charles G. Lcland gives us the concluding part of his curious and interesting study, called “ The Antc- Nerse Discoveries of America.” Another in stalment Is given of Mr. Henry P. Ice land's very lively and readable “Macaroni and Canvas.” The articles on ** States Rights,” “Roanoke Island,” “The Knights of the Golden Circle,” and “ Fugitives at the West,” alirelato, closely or remotely, to the great struggle going on in this country. “ Tho Education to Be ” is a solid and excel lent article. There arc several stories and poems of average merit; the Editor’s Table contains some good things, and the number is altogether an excellent one.
