A patriotic Parson.--A New-Hampshire paper publishes a letter from Lieut.-Col. Billings, Third New-Hampshire volunteers.
This officer was formerly pastor of a Unitarian church in Concord, New-Hampshire, and first entered the service as chaplain.
His former profession would seem to imply some Christian foundation of character and some of the sentiments and feelings of a gentleman.
Whether he is entitled to such a charitable construction may be judged about by the following extract from his letter:
I was authorized to order the evacuation of St. Simon's Island, Georgia, and took off ex-slaves, horses, cattle, rice, corn, etc., leaving nothing of value.
The splendid mansion once occupied by that ex-U. S. Senator and arch-rebel T. Butler King, is on this island, and we stripped it of every thing.
I write this letter on his writing-desk, which, with his piano, were presented to me on my return. --N. Y. World, Jan. 22.

Elections, federal control of.
When the question of the federal control of elections was under discussion, the Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, U. S. Senator from Massachusetts, wrote:
No form of government can be based on systematic injustice; least of all a republic.
All governments partake of the imperfections of human nature, and fall far short not only of the ideals dreamed of by good men, but even of the intentions of ordinary men. Nevertheless, if perfection be unattainable, it is still the duty of every nation to live up to the principles of simple justice, and at least follow the lights it can clearly see.
Whatever may have been the intentions of our forefathers, the steady growth of our government has been towards a democracy of manhood.
One by one the barriers which kept from the suffrage the poor and the unlearned have been swept away, and, in the long run, no majority has been great enough, no interest has known a refluent wave.
What democracy been strong enough,
