If your party is defeated, you will pet drunk with the other side to show that you are a clever fellow and not {riven to “souring over de feat anti you will be careful to de clare that you hope the best man wins, and that it is all in the party, and that no power in the world can prevent you trom supporting the whole ticket, let who will be on it. Say this as often as yon can—at least every time you lake a “drink/’ and if you can < rink as often or oltener than any voter at the “primaries,” and still walk home unsupported, vowing To the stars your tealty to the ticket, your fortune, with a little tact ami prudence, made. You have budded for a true patriot. You will now make jud cunts haste to see each man who is elected by the “primaries” to the nominating convention. You will invite, i pos sible, each delegate to your private room, and be patriotic with each. That is, you will order the “drinks/ - anti continue to talk aud order the “drinks” until you have felt your man thoroughly and put him to bed —drunk. Then you will have your head shainpooned. take some suste nance, and away to fresh conquests. Very much may be done in this way when all seems lost. 1 won my first nomination in this way, when tlie “primaries were dead against, me. Just as the convention is about to assemble you will proceed, as at the “primaries,” to “treat” everybody, not forgetting the outsiders. For, if you fire their hearts in your favor, their shouts at the announcement of your nama in the convention has a line effect. I have known much good to be done by this patriotic shout of the people. It means that you area clever follow, and that the people, whose instincts are always right, are fond ol you. After this convention has adjourn ed, if your side lias won, you will im mediately invite all parties, to “drink,” and tflnid the chinking of umr must also be published 40 days.

You will mount the counter of the shop, tramp triumph antly among the tumblers—damn the expense, make it all right in the morning—anti harangue the con stantly thirsty anil ever-increasing crowd upon t!ie glories of our belov ed country, from the treason of a Benedict Arnold down to the Pacific railroad. Yo will refer to the tact that we can whip all nations, partic ularly Great Britain. You will at last, as you begin to sober up a lit tle, lower your voice to an sepul-' eltral whisper, and pay a tribute to our national banner and the patriot fathers of the republic—in which lat ter catalogue, may I not a>k you. my son, that you will remember me i v saying, with tears ia your^cyes, among whom is numbered. 1 am proud to say, gentlemen, my rever end father. <>ne or two campaigns like till will finish your apprenticeship to patriotism, but now, as you "ill be gin to be noticed as a promising man agreater degree of pi u Jenee is advis able. All through your apprentiecslrp you will have observed to tell no lie. The time to lie comes later in li!e. The people will not swallow a lie from a young man, knowing it to be such. You may be a fool or a drunkard, you may be a gambler, and horse racer, and and also ke c p a tig iting dog; but you must not. lie until you are old enough and have earned suf ficient fame to make the fc stick. A useless fie is worse than a strict truth, and to espouse either will ruin a pa ired. Let your humble followers tcli your-lies lbr you, and leave abstract truths to pilosophers, preachers.wo men. and editors. Let It be the rule of your life to attempt no good thing until you are sure it. will win, and then, my son, study to be loudest and most enthusiastic in your advo cacy. Always wait tor the public voice. The majesty of l lie public is your sovereign, and it is the duty ol a courteous and gallant knight to flatter his liege. This is true chival ry. You wiil have no opinion to ex press bn religious matters, and ex cept in a rhetorical way, you will avoid all mention of the public mor als until the populace rise against son c overbearing evil; then my son. be prepared to take the lead with a. fire a id fury of righteous indignation which shad win golden opinions from all sorts of people. Be carif tl to give something in a pleasant, ostentatious manner, to all charitable institutions and peti tions. I advise you to mar y. And let your wife be one who may win to \our side, or at least lend you the ears of a large and influent al class f church-going peoj le; but you must b very careful, until lat in life, t be in no way committed to any mat ters of belief. To be a believer i- gnod in a follower, but your leader never believes. As to cards—poker. No true statesman in America plays am thing but—poker. And i you will hand me a pack of my Congressional cards —irom the escritoire—ill the station- erv drawer, under my “frauk —1 will finny you the best tricks in tin patriotic game.

With those who know so well the tenderness in which the friends of such men hold their honored memories, it rteeds no excuse for laying these de tails before the public, and in doing so it is with the assurance of discharging a solemn duty and of registering a sim ple act of justice to one whose name and fame are la part of our sacred trust. *We notice the presence of Gen. Basil W. Duke reported in New Or leans, and he is^jrobably the gentleman upon whose authority these facts are The True St jry of Grieral Jahi H Morgan’s Heat a -Hucarto M.sae >• rescalations Correct ed- A newspaper article entitled ‘ Gen eral (Mid c) Gillem,” now traveling through the Northern papers, and on §und :y last c pied into the Herald, while very severe upon Gillem, gives a version ol t ie death of the gill intGen. Morgan, not in accordance with the true facts. A gentleman, long the loved and trusted comrade of Gen. Morgan, and who was in th is city yesterd iy,* made ifter the death (f his commander i thorough investigation of every inci dent connected therewith, and is natu rally anxious not only for the vindica- cation of history, hut as an act of siui pie justice to a dead officer whose deeds have been more misrepresented uy the N irtheru press than those of any other prominent actor in the late war, that the facts of the .ase should be properly understood. 'J he version, as related in the news- p iper article referred to, contains many false and glaring inaccuracies. Gen. Morg n was not killed in the dty time, but at night; not "at a house where he bad stopped to get dinner,” but at one in the little town, of Green ville. Tennessee. The men who - killed him were not a ‘-squad af ” Lut a -party of over one hundred of the Thirteenth Tennessee Regiment, the advance guard of Gillem s entire com mand. * llie hoys” came with no pur- p se "to scare Morgan.” Gen. Morgan was not easily seared, as he thoroughly illustrated by the many success..s he had fairly won over better troops than those he was opposed to on the final and fatal occasion. They came—furnished with positive i iformation of his situation, knowing exactly where he was to be found, and that he wis attended with a slender es cort—to kill him. He quitted the house when the shots fired up >n the small guard of five or six men notified him that the enemy were upon him, and entered a small vineyard which is j-ist behind it. He was neither run ning away nor trying to “crawl” through a fence when he was shot. On the con trary, despairing of making his way suc cessfully through the Federal force which surr unded hint, he was seeking to conceal himself until such of his own forces as were encamped nearest the town c ‘uld come tnr his rescue. He was unfortunately disc >vered aud immedi ately killed. Whether he surrendered or n t we have never known. It h s been p s".lively asserted by men who claim o have witnessed h.s death, that he had surrendered; th it Cam;- bell, the man who was promoted for the act, exclaimed with an oath. “Th t s played < ut.” and immediately fired up n hiu.
