ebels, would you give immediate information there of to our authorities, that they might be detected and punished as traitors deserve? A. I would not have anything to do with it. Beecher on the endurance and Pluck of the rebels. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher rather startled his hearers at the Plymouth Church, in Brooklyn, in a enology of the rebel troops, in the course of a sermon designed to show that the price of liberty was not only eternal vigilance, but eternal self-sacrifice. "Where," edit of saying they fight well, and bear up under trouble nobly; they suffer and do not complain; they go in rags, but do not rebel; they are in earnest for their personal liberty; they believe in it, and if they can they mean to get it." Mr. Beecher also denied that slavery was dead. "Dead !" be exclaimed, "we know that within the lines of the frontier army there are yet three millions of slaves. As yet, we learn that they are docile, amenable to the will of their masters, patient, and s

A text for Henry Ward Beecher. The Puritans, in the days of the English Commonwealth, were famous for wresting passages of Scripture from their context, and applying them to their own purposes of ambition or revenge. In this way they not only justified their worst crimes, but made it appear that they were perpetrated in express obedience to the word of God. When a murder had been determined on — as in the case of Archbishop Sharpe, which took place, however, some years after, and the vicheir fanatical purposes by separating them entirely from their context, and applying them to sir nations which bear no resemblance to those to which they were originally devoted. No man is so famous for this manner of using the Old Testament as Beecher. The whole energies of his mind are devoted to the inculcation of blood and slaughter, and as his doctrine cannot be found in the New Testament, he rejects that portion of the Sacred Writings, virtually, if not directly. By his mode of dealing

ion at Washington henceforth fills the executive chair of the State." Lincoln, at the instance of George D. Prentice and W. R. Gist, has acceded to the request of Lieutenant-Governor Jacobs, of Kentucky, to return from his exile in the South.

on the Louisiana case. It is understood that the committee will report in favor of the admittance of the New Orleans members only, the others not having received a sufficient number of votes to entitle them to seats in the House. Upon careful calculation it is estimated that Lincoln, in the two hours of his levee on New- Year's day, shook hands with about seven-thousand persons, men, women and children, of all ages, ranks and races. Major-General Hancock is in New York. Henry Ward Beecher's salary for this year has been fixed at twelve thousand five hundred dollars.

Henry Ward Beecher says that he would give all his children to see New England ideas prevailing in the South. We have no doubt of that; but would he give himself? If so, why has he not voluntelled the suggestions of revenge and cruelty. We can now read with composure the longings of Mr. Beecher, and, what is more, it may be possible that he is entitled to gratitude instead of indignatiods the management of the entire United States. That is the way to get on in this world; and if Beecher will show us how to do it, we shall consider him a public benefactor. And, besides, when wts soil. On the whole, we are determined not to be put into a rage by the invocations of Mr. Beecher for the universal propagation of New England ideas in the South. Seed cannot take root and fthis uncongenial clime. Nor is it quite certain that the seed will be permitted to be sown.

The Rev. H. W. Beecher expresses himself strongly in favor of giving universal suffrage to the Africans. As universal suffrage costs nothing to the giver, we are not at all astonished by the generosity of his Reverence, though it may be doubted whether the proposed recipients will be as much delighted with it as with bacon and greens. If he will give them this, or corn cake and fat possum, we are sure they will like it better than universal suffrage. We dare say we should ourselves, for, as at present advised, we do not know of any animal or vegetable production which we would not think it a good bargain to purchase at the cost of that commodity. Far be it from us to suppose that the native African citizen of the South is less capable of digesting with safety such diet as universal suffrage than the members of Mr. Beecher's own congregation. Those who would propose the extension of universal suffrage to the negroes of this country are no better fitted for self-governmen

ent. Senators Conness, Sprague and others spent a short time in consultation with him. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was also present at an interview, which was quite protracted. General Butler was awaite or the other will prevail in Congress. The mass of the citizens desire the latter. Henry Ward Beecher delivered an address to-night in the Hall of Representatives, before an immense audience, to pray at so large an assemblage of white people, and then hastened away from the hall. Mr. Beecher argued, without the right of suffrage a man did not possess true liberty; that liberty was a at civilizer; and when woman stops at home and man goes abroad, the man begins to be animal. Mr. Beecher said: I protest against the Southern State wearing liberty as a badge of disgrace instead of on of the South, and urged all kindness and consideration for them consistent with duty. Mr. Beecher then referred to what he believed would be the glorious future of the South under the new ord

se from Governor Humphrey. And while it urges an abstinence from all violence in its execution, it directs the employment of such force as shall be necessary to put down any efforts at resistance on the part of the negroes. This order is an important one, and is denounced here as an outrage upon colored veterans who aided in the overthrow of the rebellion.
