x protest, sir, against making this
word cover all the sins of the age.
There are but few of these soldiers
alive, and they are all necessarily far
advanced in years. It is but now and
then that you meet with one of them;
and if we do our duty in cutting down
our ruinous expenditures at the pres
ent session1 the amount required to
pay them will scarcely be felt. The
bill provides ho back pay, and only
gives a small sum for lifo, graduated
according to the length of the soldiers'
services. In my opinion, the vast a
mount so unwisely spent in the blood
less Mormon war, would be sufficient
for this bill. I do earnestly hope that
the Senate may consider it favorably
and that it may become a law. 1

"hypocritical cant," &c. This we repeHed
it deserved. Whereupon the Sentinel
again lost its brazen-shame, and the last is
sue, exhibits its canine propensities more dis
gustingly than ever before against us.
The Sentinel says " "We have heard and

the editor, may yet feel us, too, one of these
days before his race is run.
But this is not the first time, that -we have

It was after the winter had set in that I
waited one d:iy in the reception room of the
dopot on one of the Southern Roads, for the
arrival of the train. Meanwhile wearied
with waiting, I looked around for some one
with whom I could kill the time, and select
ed from the crowd, one whose earnest. face
and blunti manners indicated him to be a
proper character. I approached him, and
found him' very willing to answer my questi
ons as to his route, destination, and so forth.
He was going to New Orleans from Savan
nah. He j-might suffer from the fever, but
he must gc. I asked him how he fared in
Savannah during the epidemic there.
"Well with me. well with me. This vigo
rous frame? of mine battled with it, and came
off safe, but 'twas not so with all not so
with all.", . ;
He paused, and I knew from his manner
hie heart was full, which 5t would be a relief
toempty. A shadow of deep earnestness fame
over his face, and I was willing to hear the
tale of sorrow.
"Stranger, he was the best cousin I had in
the world. I May be you liavn't snch alone,

Warlike Measures in Europe.

Hunted up those who were not able to em

where he could hope to get nothing for them.
And many a prayer did those poor people

Although France and England are
preparing to go to war with eachoth

piacticaoie to accomplish, will be .a

he executive governments of Great
Britain, France, and , othjer countries, -possessing
the war-making grower, can
promptly employ the necessary meaiH
to enforce imrupdiate redress" for simi
lar outrages upon their subjects. Not
so the executive government of the
United States. If the President orders
a vessel-of-war to any of these ports
to demand prompt redress for outra
ges committed, the offending parties
are well aware that in cake of refusal
the commander can do lio more than
remonstrate. He can resort to no hos
tile act. The question must then be
referred to diplomacy, and in many
cases adequate redress dan- never be
obtained. ' Thus American! citizens arc
deprived of the same protection, under
the flag of their country which the
subjects of other nations enjoy. The
remedy for this state of things can
only be supplied by Congress; since
the constitution has confided to that
body alone the power to make war.
