Kvery manly instinct demands that Davis should he promptly tried if lie is nut to be tried, or is only to he subjected to a costly and mischievous sham trial, with no expectation or desire of convicting liini, he should be liberated at once. And, if he is to be tried only for treason then the charge of assassination should be retraced as publicly as it was made. And it is the duty of the Executive, through his Attorney (iencral, to act promptly and frankly in the premises, so as to relieve the (jovcrnliient from the imputation of calumniating an enemy and holding for eighteen months a prisoner whom it dare not, put on trial.

One of those sad instances of conjugal iini,,,:1Vhnieiit

infidelity, by which the peace of a laini-

circumspcetion, this intrigue was detected by a person who shall be designated as Mr. X. Mr. X., approaching the fair frail one with threats of exposure, induced her to consent to add one more to her infidelities, and receive his nocturnal visits'!'

Thursday night MijWX. paid the charmer a visit, and wlrilc iff her room was surprised, and his cscapS cut off by the unexpected visit of the other favored lover. It was but the work of a moment for the siren to conceal him in a closet and then to receive his rival. At this juncture the husband of the dame made his appearance having returned to his home sooner than he had cspcetcd, and succeeded in surprising himself as well as his wile. .1 lie younger Lothario stood not upon the order ot his going, but went at once tlirougii the back window, without going through the formality of resuming the attire which bo had laid aside. The husband followed him, and Mr. X., thinking the opportunity of cseape a good one, made a third in the chase, only to come to grief, for the husband returning to his dishonored bouse, met him coming out and proceeded to hdininistc'r personal chastisement, which all must acknowledge was well deserved.

This a flair has resulted in the abandonment of the sinning wife and her little children by the injured husband, who either has gone or intends to go to California to live, loaving'to .Providence and her own conscience the punishment of his faithless spouse.

The Great KcpuUllc.

The population of the United States was, in round uumbersin 1SG0, 31,000000. The statistics or seven decennial censuses show that the1" population increases at the rate of thirty live per centum every ten years. At this rate ol progress," our populat^jjiC in 1SS'.5 will reach1'GO,000,000, and'^in 1000 will exceed 100,000,000. Napoleon in his recent circular estimated that it would reach that Ojrufk wiilim tJfe year 1000, but by 1 bat time it will be nearer 200.000,000, for, if there is the wisdom and patriotism among the peopleto discard sectional feeling and restore the Union, we shall have aci'jiiircd Mexico and Canada, and probably the Central American Slates. The (ireat Republic, the colossus of empires, will then occupy a commanding figure among the nations of the earth such as was never attained by any nation known to history. To all this vast population of territory is to be added such wealth, such material and'intellectual greatness, as shall surpass the imagination of the poet and confound the speculations of the philosopher.™^

Necessity of Calmness.

The exciting political contests being concluded and the elections over, it behooves every good citizen to do his part towards allaying the strife to which these conflicts of party have given rise and to calming the angry waters. It cannot be concealed that the staple of the political and party talk of the time is of a character to excite the profoundest anxiety in relation to the immediate future of the country. It is, says the Boston Post, little else than an unrelieved series of denunciations, threats, nicknames, and malicious detraction and following so close on the events of a protracted war that tested to their utmost the feelings of the entire people, their influence is naturally of the most inflamatory and dangerous kind. When the only voices which should be heard are those of conciliation and kindness, the public car is shocked with a din of angry sounds, full of evil omens and fatally prophetic oi' worse days to come.

Said the late 3'resident Lincoln substantially in his first inaugural speech, addressing the men of the South, and by implication, of both sections of the Union—If you go to war, you will only be compelled to return to reason and argument, after your resources are spent in the conflict, it needed no prophetic gift to sec that such must be the result. And now that the war has been engaged in, and its red streams have ceased to flow— and the people of the country are ready to sit down together to count the cost and sum up the results—with no raneorwork-

tinucd volleys of malignant epithets, used this caution is particularly necessary with perhaps only for party purposes at first, very fat hogs: but acting with an intense energy upon filing

feelings, take on afar more ominous sound at last, and become the fatal signals for a state of rioting, of indiscriminate violence, and of bloody civil war. This is the very result to which such practices tend with swift and unerring steps. And unless they are cheeked where they are, md all reasonable and good men unite at onee to command silence in this increasing din of angry vociferations, a general breaking up of both our political and social system may certainly be looked for to punish us. the innocent ami guilty alike, as no nation nn the face of the earth was ever eh.-stised before. We invite, nay, we are (hiring the dreadful judgment, if we go on in this way much longer.

The sober and serious thought of the I people shriukis aghast from the contemplation of another war, and especially such a war as passionate and self-seeking men would hurry us into. The people ask for peace and the return of fraternal feelings. Whv cannot they be gratilied in their preferences Why is their hatred of the attempted work of secession by violence so wickedly turned by designing demagogues in'o a haired of their fellow citizens, -with whom they would live in a state of comity and_ mutual regard? Why arc till the passions that should only be allayed so industriously worked upon, as if a second war must be plunged into in order to guarantee what the first, one scpurcd? We can tell those who arp giving their energies to so liendish a purpose, that the people •whom they deceive will hold,them ftt the last to a stern account for their''coiiduct. The seeming popular indifference of to-day will he routed to the overwhelming judgment of.^to-morrow. This is the Nemesis that never, sleeps. It is sure-footed, and is certain to coiue up with the guilty. When the people, beconiing undeceived, discover that their very sentiments of patriotism have been" falsely played upon, thoitf, condemnation and punishment arc apt to b» hfvivier than most men can bear.

la )S sm

The great .pojiloi, of the hour, rcuuiriug only sagacity, patience, a large snare of prudence, genuine patriotism, and practiced wisdom, is to be left in the hands of our most capable and trustworthy men, and not snatched from them by demagogues and partisans. The latter have not the comprehension, ir they possessed the honesty, to take it into their thought in all its proportions. -\To nation ever had such a problem to solve fur itself before, demanding the exercise of what is best, wisest and noblest in its character. If, therefore, we would find the right solution for it, we must use none but the right means. We cannot experiment—we cannot drift we must act, but show ourselves as discreet as we arc firm, as patient as we arc energetic, and as generous as we are patriotic. The little men, and noisy men, and conceited men have no proper place here. Let the people order them to stand aside and main silent.

Desperate Encounter Willi a Deer. /1, IKrou) tho Khu Clare (Wis.) Kroo J'rcss One of the most daring eueounters incident to hunting life—though fortunately resulting in nothing serious—that we have heard for along time, occurred in the vicinity of Mud creek one day last I week. Mr. Kd. Nieholls, formerly of this place, started out one morning with his dog through a piece of woods near his farin. Scarcely had he entered the forest, over a mile from his habitation, when suddenly up sprang a large buck from his concealment, and confronting him face to face for an instant, made a fearful dash at him. Mr. Nieholls, though having

in butchering style, while it is a

business worthy of being conducted in a decent and scientific way, I do not purpose going into along programme of telling how to catch a hog, and how to hold him, fcc., but, to throw out a few hints.

Do not suffer the hog to be run or worried by men, boys rnd dogs, getting his blood and flesh heated, just before killing. 1 believe this is one point of meat spoiling. Sometimes we drive a hog or two tu a neighbor's so as 10 '-kill together." as it is termed, making use of the same force, same fire and other fixings: and we have known the hams and shouldern of hogs thus driven to come out a little ,-hort before the next summer was over.

Let the hog' be killed with as little noise, and wnrriment and excitemeut as possible. A Jersey mail has one man to go into the pen, select his first victim, and shoot him, or with a broad-faced hammer, like a shoemaker's hammer, knock down the hog, when other men come immediately and stick, others drag out, and go to scalding, and so on with a large number of hogs.

Scalding machines have become very common, aud area good institution but everybody lias not got one, and still use tubs. I like the Tub and want nothing better for ordinary times but 1 want a rope and tackle, and one or two hands to help work the hog. -"I would not allow a hog put into hot waier vliilcr ihere is a sign of life in him but when dead, make an opening to the gamtrel strings anil 1iook in, hoist the hog and dip him head aud shoulders into the scald do not let hitn lcmaiu more than a sce^nd or two, lest his hair "sets hoist him and air liim, aud if needed, dip hitn again and again, till done then hook into the lower jaw aud seald the hinder parts. I like slow sealds the best, 14s less likely to set the hair. While the hind parts are getting scalded, the face may be cleansed.

Too Jiulo attention is generally ^ivc» cleaning the head, as also the feet, leaving them i'or tho women to worry over by the hour in some cold out-kitclicu. As soon as the hog is hung up and washed off. let the head be taken off and set upon a barrel or block, and regularly shaved and cleaned.

WHOLE NUMBER 1259

Admirable and Wholesome Views. From a letter written by the Honorable

Albert Pike, of Arkansas, to the Presi

dent, asking for a pardon under the 820,iillil clause, we make the following pointed

and truthful extract:

The late war was more owing to the dead of the past, who arc .honored, than to the living of the present, who are execrated more to Jefferson and Madison than to Davis and Hunter more to the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions than to thearguineuts of 18G0. "Civil commotions have long roots in the past," and their true authors have loug been beyond the reach of human veugeance, while those whom hatred seeks to immolate have been but the bondmen of necessity, the blind instruments of fate. Why should the scaffold crave the blood of the living, who only obeyed the dead? 1 respectfully submit that it is not just to regard as rebellion and treason what had been claimed by States and parlies for seventy years as the lawful exercise of a political right by a State and that it would be a grave mistake to make even one name and memory a watchword and beacon for all coming time. It would be to create that "impassable barrier which always separates, after blood is so shed, the children of the same country."

If convicted and .sentenced, none now accused will feel, nor will the people of the South believe, that they have been guilty of treason. Neither defeat nor condemnation changes convictions. They will not seem to have been criminals, but onlv to have atoned with their lives for the sin of failure in the assertion of rights claimed, even if unreal, by many States, and by a great political party, since the beginning of the government.

Civil War.

"The signs arc direful. Our nationality seems more fearfully threatened thaii it was at any time during the war. The portents glow and redden like balefires upon all the hills. The country is covered with combustible materials scattered around by ficrce' hands, and the hurling abroad of a single firebrand from Washington or the bursting of one. flash of lightning from the lurid clouds that liaiif low over tho Capitol, may wrap the land in a conflagration of civil war. And ie^ the Northern peo .l« remember that, if civil war comes, it will rage and madden and work its desolation first in the North, and, if the South choose, bo confined to the North. The people^ of the North, with the exception of the soldiers, knew little of war save from reading about it. The flames of burning cities glared, and the thunders of hostile cannon roared and died away a thousand miles from thcm but let civil war, such as large portions of them seem now to lie invQkinjr, burst forth among themselves, and il^y will be the witnesses and the ,'i.tiins horrors wholly unparalleled by the la dro„dr„, oxpo^oncLs of the

And now, while speaking of the head, 1 want to say how 1 cut up a head. I lay it ou its side and take off the jowl, or lower jaw 1 then saw down the face, just above the eyes, but careful to run into the eye sockets, and on through, leaving the oyo balls with the snout end, so that there is no further trouble with gouging the eyes out of the face piece then, without further separating of the parts, starting between the ears, saw up and dowuwise, not- caring to extend further down towards the snout than to saw-mark across the face, but clean through at the other end. Now, having done with the cars for handles, I cut them oft, then take out the brains for pickling—skin the snout, and take off the flesh for scrapple, and throw tho nasal organs away. Tho faces are to be cornered. I use a saw, but never an axe, in cutting up a hog consequently the meat is clear ol splinters and chips of bones. In -'chining a hog'' to cool, I saw down the ribs instead of "hacking them with a hatchet. A small sized hog-hook, flattened, answers very well for taking off the hooks and toenails of a porker—or you may use a pair of pincers.— Cor. fJernmntowii 11 jr/i-/li.

The "Railway Spine "—A New Disease. [From tho Philadelphia I.ecsor.) A passenger who happened to be one, with others, who have received the shock from a rail car crash, frequently gets out with his limbs whole, his body unbruised, and hie mind unconscious of any disorder, boyond a general wcaknessand confusion, which he sets down vaguely to a shock to the system, while his friends charitably attribute it to excessive fright. Jiy and by, however, he finds that "he is not the man he was he has "lost bodily energy, mental capacity, business aptitude:'' lie becomes ill and irritable, grows pallid, loses his memory, finds his sleep disturbcd, frets about the state of his eyes, loses his delicacy of touch, and finally displays all tho symptoms ol paralysis. He is, in fact, suffering a concussion of the spine --not lueroly of the bony case, but of the spinal marrow or cord which it contains, and from which nerves of sensation and motion are sent to all parts of the body. The concussion has shaken the nervous force out of him, just as, to use an ingenious illustration of Mr. Erich sen's, a magnet struck with tho heavy blow of a hammer loses its magnetic power. The obviously material changes, in tho spinal marrow itself are, iuflaination, with enlargement of the blood vessels, effusion of blood, sometimes softening, and at other times hardening, and increased size of its substance. Pain is felt at one or more points of the spine, and is greatly increased on pressure and by movements of any kind, so as to occasion extreme rigidity of the spine or backbone. Death may be postponed for weeks, months, or even years. There may in such cases be remission or abatement, but no real intermission or suspension, of tho symptoms. The chances of complete recovery arc very small, aud the treiltmeut of course becomes difficult.
