Pat them in the field, so as to have them ready for the Spring campaign, even if it resulted in the freedom of those that were so or ganized. He would employ them to- fight the negro force of the enemy, aye. and the Yankees themselves. The ques tion is, whether the enemy shall nse our slaves against as, or we nse them against them.

It has been said, indeed, that Congress ia its cxeinplirn laws and otherwise has refused such recocni'den to dentists, end it is urged that theeffact of fbi3 rion-reccgniticn-y-thia implied stigma, may be that hereatter no ycung man of education or acquirements wiil f;rguge in the pursuit, that none will devote the time and attention to the study necessarily to qualify them, reives, and that in fine, hereafter, the human molars aud incise rs will be given np to those who know nothing about the general anatomy of tbe system, or the special anatomy of these important members, with their deli cate end highly sensitive nervous connections. Congress could probably remove the sappopd slur cast upon dentists without extending the provisions of tbe exemption law, at least we supposs it could, and we tliak this would be due to the educated and rtallj com petent dentists, who, in their own way, are really ben efactors of their race.

After reference to variou su jjecti of no general interest to Confederate readers, Lincoln notices the continuance of the war with results which he regards as Important. 'He reoommenda the proposed amendment to the constitution aboliahing tlavery throughout tho United States. He refra to the result of the recent eection as an evi dence of the purpese of the people of tho loyal States to maintain tho integrity of the Union. Oa careful consideration it seems to cie no attempt at negotiatioa with the in-mrgnt leader oould result i; any good. He would accept nothing short of a tev9rance of the Union, which we cannot voluntarily yield. Its issue can only be tried by war and be decided by viotory, bat the Southern people caa re-accept union, and the amnesty oSered one yar ago is still open to all on condition to make a f . se ch-jic. .

It is false to itself, or rather it feels ao ir resistible impulse to b'. true to i self. It labors under its guilty possession, and knows not what to da with it. The humm heart was not made for lie residence of sucb an inha . tant. It finds itself prejed upon by a torment which it does not acknowledge to Cod or man. A vul ture is devouring it, Ehd it can aes no sympathy or assistance, tithe-r from heaven or earth.- ibe secret which the murderer possesses soon cornea to possess him ; and like the evil spirit of wnich we read, it-overcomes him, and leads him wbithersosver it will.

Star of the South.. A KOTAOLTS JDAV. The 9 th of November has again come and passed. It is, you are aware, a double anniversary, being Lord Mavor's day and the birthday of the Prince of Wales. The Lord Mayor's show differed little from that of lor mer years, since the water procession to Westminster was abolished. 'J he principal thoroughfare of the city wa3 blocked up for two cr three hours by the passage of the stupidest of all processions, and the civio pro ceedings terminated with the usual aldermanic feast at the Guidhall. The usual speeches were there made, some of them by Her-AIajeaty's ministers, and Lord Palmerelon had the bad taate to indafee in one of his stereotyped slurs again9t the United States. The rejoicings, so far es the Prince of Wales was concerned, were of a more extensive and beany cbarac ter than usual. Tbe Prince himself was at Windsor Cas tle, as the Qieen persists ia never petting foot in London if she can possibly avoid it, bus the otm rang through out the day, and the illuminations at night were numsr ous and gorgeous, ine Jrnnce eeema dauy growing in the isflecuocs or. theipeopie. uertainiy ne and hie . -it?

An Advent w.re In tlic Alps. Professor Tjndall semi? to thi London Tiaies a nar rative cf a ratter exciting adventure in the Alps.. Oa the 3d of July, he and two friends, with a couole of guide?, Jer.ni and Walter, ascended the Piz ;Murter atech. The ascent was accomplished safely, but not the descent, which waa made along tha Morterastich glacier : We at lengta reacned the point at which it wa3 Dec- eeary to quit our morning track and immediately af terwards got upon some steep reck?, wnich were ren dered elipp.ry here and there by the wa'er which trick led over tntm To our right wua a broad couloir, which wag onca filled up with snow, but this bad been melted and re-frczen, so as to expose a elopiag 'all of ice. W e were all tied together at this time in the fol lowing order : Jenni ld, I came next, then my friend H., an iatr?p:d mountaineer, then hia friend L , and last o( all the guide Walter. After descending the rocks for a tinii?, Jenni turned and asked me whether I thought it better to adhere to them or try th3 ice elope to our ngnt. I pronounced ia uvor of the rocks, but he seemed to misunderstand me, and returned toward the couloir, lie cut steps, reached the snow, and descend ed carefully along it, a'l following him, apparently in good order. At;er a lube while, he stopned, turned, end looked upward at tae last tnrte men. He said soai'jthicg aoous seeping c:ireruj;y in ine irr.CJS, adainc: that a false step might d.tach an e.valanche. The word was scarcely uttered whtn I beard the sound cf a fall be hind m, then a ru3b and in the twinkling of an eye my two fi lends ard their guide, all apparently entangled together, whirled past ni3. J suddenly planted nsyself to resist their shock, but in a,a instant I wa3 iu their waKCjL ror tneir impetui wi3 lrreaistrji?. A mom.'ut afterward, Jenni was wbirlrd away, and thu3 all five of us found ourselves ridiog downward with uncontrola b!e speed on tha back of aa a7aianch3, which a single slip had originated. When thrown down by the jc:rk of the rope, I turned promptly on ray fece'and drove my baton through the moving snow, seeking to anchor it in the ice uuderneAth. I had held it firmly-tl'ua for a few seconds, when I came into collision with some ob stacle, and v33 rudely tossd through tne air, Jenni at tbe same tim-a being shot djwa up .n me. Both ot us here lost our batons. We had, ia fact, been carried over a crevasc, had hit its lower ede, cur great ve.oci ty causing us to be pitched b-.iymd it. I was quite bewildered !cr a moment, but immedi a!e!y rallied rr.ysdf, and could see those ia front ol xa halt bnriui m tkesn.?w, and j '1'cd from siuj to side by the iutd anong which tbey were p-.sain Suddenly I saw them tcmbiaover by a lurch of the avalanche, and immediately afterwards found myself imitating their motion.

Da Two Wkonqs Make a Bnjht.--This proposition has been generally denied ; tbe converse being asiuraed, that tw. wrongs do not make a right ; bat a friend mentioned the other night a bit of logic which he heard cltsd recent ly, aud which would almost seem to upset the oil maxim': Two wroDRi neter make a right, said one disputant to ano'her. Yes they do sornet imes, said hit antagonist. Never, rep.id the other colloquist. They do, I tell you, and can prove it. The other day somebody parsed on me a five dollar counterfeit bill. That wis wrona, wasn't it '! Yes. of course; Wa'al, I wasn't goin' to be chsated out of five dollars ; po I passed it off among some good bills, cnto another man. Wasn't that wrong J To be sure as much as tbe first. Wa'al that makes two wrongs, don't it ? Yes. Jea' sc; but it made me all right.
