nt of our armies, and causes general defeat and disaster. It is well understood that, if the Revolution should come to naught, he would suffer none of the pains and penalties of rebellion, but, on the contrary, would have a place offered him in Lincoln's Cabinet, with the probability of becoming his successor. Having no personal interest in the success of the cause, he naturally feels himself at liberty to make as many blunders as possible, assume the military control, put incompetent generadiffer from General Sherman in one thing. We never heard before that it did any good to pray for the Devil. Certainly, such a Devil as Jeff. Davis is past all possibility of salvation. We would much better pray for such saints in the flesh as Lincoln, Seward, Sherman, Turchen, Butler, Hunter, etc., who, though the salt of the earth, have their little imperfections, and are not quite angels; at least, we see, as yet, "no signs of wings sprouting from their shoulder-blades." There are a few cr

any other people. What higher recommendation could man present to New England admiration and respect. Lowell ought to present him the freedom of the city in a gold box. He has had the freedom of the South in a good many gold boxes for four years." In addition to these well deserved marks of respect, we recommend that an eulogium of his deeds be pronounced by the great and virtuous Caleb Cushing, who, if he has not served with him in the war (not being able to obtain a commission from Lincoln), at least served with him in the Charleston Democratic Convention. The aid of the pencil might also be called in to illustrate his military career. A number of eminent Yankee artists should be employed at once for that purpose, and the galleries of the Lowell Academy of Fine Arts, if such there be; or, if not, Harper's Magazine, adorned with the products of their genius. They might take some hints upon the subject from the so called "Captain" Gann, in Thackeray's last book — that red-fa

We are indebted to the officers of the Exchange Bureau for files of Northern papers. Secretary Stanton sent an official dispatch to Lincoln, reiterating the accounts of the capture of Fort Fisher. The following is an extract from the dispatch: On Monday morning, between 6 and 7 o'clock, the magazine of Fort Fisher exploded, killing and wounding two or three hundred persons. How the explosion occurred was not known, but General Terry believed it was occasioned by accident of all complaints and claims; but until they do it they cannot hope for peace upon terms or conditions of any sort. The Baltimore Convention endorsed this position, and the people ratified, it by an overwhelming majority in the re-election of Mr. Lincoln. Now, if Mr. Blair has given Jeff. Davis to understand, by private assurances, or hints or suggestions of any sort, that our Government is disposed to abandon this position — that it "does not now insist on an unconditional surrender," but is

w, of Missouri, favor universal suffrage throughout both North and South. Archbishop McClosky, of New York, is at once to open subscriptions for the completion of the new Roman Catholic Cathedral in that city, which is designed to be the most costly and most beautiful church in the United States, exceeding even the magnificent Philadelphia Cathedral. The California papers publish "marriages," "births," "divorces" and "deaths" in regular order. This is systematizing the thing. The Taunton Gazette says that at a recent church fair a set of Cooper's works were promised to him who should answer a set of conundrums. The winner received a set of wooden pails. The Tennessee Convention passed, by nearly a unanimous vote, a resolution that no person should be considered as qualified to vote until he shall take a stringent oath declaring himself unreservedly in favor of the Union and all laws and proclamations issued by President Lincoln or Congress since the war began.
