A Mentor.—How people may
learn wisdom the New York Express
shows in the following extract from
one of its articles :
. For the first t'me since the crea-
tion and success of the Geographical
party of the' North, we begin to hope
for our unhappy country. The Bull
Run disaster has checkmated and si-
lenced the madness of the North
and reason and sense will soon begin
to have sway in the Northern mind.
The South ih being comprehended—
its force, its earnestness, its power,
its fanaticism, even, are understood
It is. not treason any longer—as
was in March and April—to tell the
Íeople the South will fight, means to
gilt, can figlit I It is not: treason to
say that this is a jerriblo wftr, and a
long war, wo aro in, and that, to wfage
it successfully, all tbo men wo can
muster are . necessary, and all the
moans we can raise, not alone througl
imports, but by direct taxes! It is not
treason any longer to doubt the infal-
libility of administration—of Presi-
dent or Secretaries, or tc discuss
Joints and principles with a view of
einonstratiiig wliat is best for the
wholo country. The question of dis-
cussion new, is one of policy—but
policy often, as now, forbidB discus
Bión ; while charges of " treason ' but
provoke men to discuss. Events, alas
too fatally, but demonstrate the sagac
ity and fófeéigíit, and second sight,
even, of the New York Express these
ten years past—and hence, as we re-
cord history now, wo have but to ask
our roadortfto re-read back files, for
in them they havo the • existing his
tory ■;
Daniel Weiihtbr once defended
a man charged With crime of murder,
At the concluistóh of the trial,' he ask-
ed him what'could induce him to slain
his hands With %< blood of a. fellow
being. Turning his blood shot eyes
full upon me he replied, in a.voici). of
despair, " Mr. Webster, iji my youth,
I Spent the holy Sabbath in'evil amuse-
ments, iustead of frequenting the
houso of prayer &nd praise.'" Could
we go baek to the early years Q&vall
hardened criminals, I bolieve. firriily
believe, that their departure from' th<:
Sath of morality, was when they abnn-
oned the Sabbath School, and their
snbseqnent crimes might thus be
tracked back to the neglect of youth
ful religious-instruction. ~
. Many years ago, I spent a Sabbath
with-Thomas Jefferson, at his resi-
dence in Virginia. It was hi the
month of June, and the weather was
delightful. While engaged in dis-
cussing the beauties of the Bible, the
sound of a bell brojee upon our ears
when turning to tho sage of Monti-
celló, I remarked, " How sweetly,
how very sweetly sounds that Sab-
bath bell t"' This distinguished states-
man for a moment seemed lost in
thought,.and then replied : Yea, my
deai- Webster, yes it molts my heart,
it calms our passions and makes us
boys agaiu."
Penetrating the Nether Re-
gion.—A letter from Wise county,
Va., relates the following :
A gentleman in the oil region in
Westerp .Virginia was boring for oil
on his land, and anxious to complete
the job, kept his darkiés at work night
and day. The nights were cold, and
a fire was built near the well. About
midnight they struck a vein of gas,
which rushed out with great force,
and igniting from the fire, shot up a
freafc stream of brilliant flame' one
undred and fifty feet iu the air, illu-
minating the country round. The
terrified darkies broke for their mas-
ter's house, and cried out, " Get up,
Massa Tompkins, get up ! wé've done
and broke through into hell!"
Rebellion. —The N. Y. Free-
man's Journal says:
Our wish, above all things, is that
Lincoln's administration could and
would adopt a course which we, as
loyal freemen, can sustain. The pres-
ent course of the Executive is un-
constitutional, outrageous, and in open
Rebellion against the United States
Government as established and rec-

this course as we wiU not We de-
clare and protest on the contrary,
