A Little Thing.—A wo the steps of a dark prison, terly over the sentence of. “What aileth thee, sister?” aakl'a gentleman stopping before her, arid taking her hand kindly in his. . “My heart’s broke, sir,” she replied, “Can I do anything for you?’* he asked. “No, sir, nothing,” Was her sad re sponse. ; j.- “Well, God can help you, sister, and I will go home and ask him to ao h.” Said the gentleman, It was a vefy little thing that he did. It neither clothed or fed the poor wo one sweet word, sister, fell oil upon the wounded spirit, strengthened, and went to hM IdWly home. When she knelt totell jesttsihsr sorrows, she felt that a brother had been before her. His prayers were an swered, and her Bpirlt was calmed, it was a little thing to wash the Saviour’s feet with tears, and wipe them with ”ie hairs of her head, and yet Mail’s Bering of love was of more value in our' Lord’s esteem than were nil the titles of the proud Pharisees. She who mured the precions ointment upon his lead, did but a little thing for Christ, and yet he said that wherever the gos- ould be preached,‘to the Ond bf neprt little, it should be told as a memorial of . region.

Tlie very men who have so loudly and bitterly assailed you os a rebel and as a’ disorgan ize!, who have declared that you are self-excommunicated, are themselves out side of 1 the organization. This includes, nearly all the Administration leaders of the South ; partieularly~Mr. Slidell and his set, and tlieso are the nearest to the President’s/ throne. Bigler, Baker, Brown, Randall, and others, though remaining in the Convention were, it is said, ready at any moment, to strike hapds ; with the disunionists. So that not only : the Convention, but the organ ization, and above all, the principles of the Demoeratio party, are with the frjends of. Douglas. * * * * . . Do not suppose that I abandon the election of Judge Douglas. . On the contrary, it may be aohiev.ed .by the continued, resolution and unity of his friends. Ho apd they have a fierce^ contest before theip, but they will suc ceed if they so conduct themselves, as T have no doubt they, will, k 1 * a ’ Meanwhile, let the men who,have betrayed public sentiment at Charleston be held to a strict accountability. They should not he permitted to remain at. .their hofnes a day ’before being called to account. They will, no doubt, try to defend* themselves; but they can be p oru8hed by the facts and buried under a mountain of obloquy. It will be well to get rid of suoh recreants. A party that consents tQ be led by such men will deserve to be extinguished. Cutting their Allies.—in the House pel tim •umerodw.
