It has not been many months since some one declared that Gen. Grant and Gen. Thomas once thought of offer ing their services to the Confederate government. There was a general denial, but no positive proof was offered. It maV or may not be true. What they might have intended in I860 or 1861 certainly Southern money may yet be forth coming to erect a monument to Com pany G. Throughout portions of the North there were many anti-war associations, such as Copperheads, Sons of Liberty, Knights of the Golden Circle, and the like -all organized for about the same purpose. Gov. Morton, of Indiana, found the Knights of Golden Circle a thorn in the flesh. He was one of the South's cut no figure in their loyalty to the side bitterest enemies, and against every they joined, after becoming thorough- measure G f peace, for he nominated ly allied with it. Franklin Buchanan was, in my opin ion, the greatest naval commander this country has produced. In a Northern sketch it is alleged that, finding that his native State, Maryland, did not se cede after he had resigned his commis sion in the United States navy, he ask ed to be restored. His request being refused he entered the Confederate navy in September, 1861. What does it matter if this is correct? No man could be a half-hearted patriot who. in 1H64, engaged Farragut’s whole fleet with a single ship, the “Tennessee!" But it would be a matter for some surprise if the South knew the extent of Northern sympathy at the outbreak of the war. Gen. John A. Logan, if we can depend upon the testimony of thote of his constituents of 1861 who have expressed t ham selves, was at first inclined to espouse the Southern cause. He had long been a Democrat. For some years he had resided in Maryland: later in Kentucky ; still later in Mis souri—the three States which for a long while, like himself, did not know exactly what course to take. At the outbreak of the war he was residing in Illinois, serving his second term in Con gress. One of his biographers says: “In the Presidential campaign of that year (1860) he earnestly advocated the elec tion of Stephen A. Douglas; blit, on the first intimation of coming trouble from the South he declared that, ir. the event of the election of Abraham Lincoln, he would 'shoulder his musket to have him inaugurated.’ ” He joined the Union forces about July, 1861. Notwithstanding his career afterwards as a Federal officer did he quite live down the stand he took as a “copperhead J" In 1880 or 1881 political opponents re- ferre I to his ante-bellum position. The Hon. Ben Hill twitted him in Congress, and liOgan denied the charge. Where upon in August, 1881, Hill received a letter from one Edward V. Satterfield, of Mount Vernon, III., who wrote in substance that he was publishing a Democratic paper at Mount Vernon at the outbreak of the war; that he had known Logan for many years, and that in 1861 he heard him make a speech against the Administration, in which he said: “May my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth and my right arm wither should 1 ever take up arms against my brethren of the South!" Mr. Satterfield wrote further that Lo gan was presented with this proposition from Gov. Yates -either to recruit and men to the Peace Congress as bitter as he was. When the question of the abolition of slavery arose, the majority in the State was against him. The Demo crats controlled the Legislature in 1862, refused to receive a message from him. and would have taken the command of the militia from him but for the with drawal of the abolition members, leav ing both Houses without a quorum. The draft laws provoked the seces sionists further, and it is stated that they contemplated a general insurrec tion. A prominent leader of this organiza tion was Jas. W. Hall, of New Jersey. Early in the war he attacked the Lin coln administration for interfering with the liberty of the press, and of fered to furnish 2u,000 Belgian rifles to the Knights for use against the United States. He was imprisoned for sev eral months. That he had friends is shown by the fact that he became u United States Senator in 186k. His father had also been a United States Senator. When I was a boy of five or six years I often heard of C. L. Vallandigham, “the Ohio Copperhead”—a devoted champion of the South. As late as De cember, 1862, Congress was not unani mous by a great deal for Lincoln’s measure. At that time the Ohio man offered a series of resolutions in which he declared that, as the war was origi nally waged for the purpose of defend ing and maintaining the supremacy of the Constitution and the preservation of the Union, whosoever should at tempt to pervert the same to a war of subjugation or interfering with the rights of the States and to abolish slavery would he guilty of a crime against the Constitution and the Union. The resolution was laid on the table only by a vote of 79 to 50. The former tailor, Gen. Burnsides, like the former hatter, Gov. Morton, of Indiana, was a South-hater, and af ter Congress adjourned had Vallandig ham arrested and imprisoned for his speeches in Ohio. He was tried by court-martial (usually a farce) and sentenced to close confinement. Later he was banished across the lines. When Judge 11. H. Leavvitt decided the case against Vallandigham Presi dent Lincoln affirmed that it was worth “three victories" for him. Perhaps it was. The defiance of the anti-war peo ple of the North was a great source of apprehension, and with a little more en couragement they might have compell- 1 the administration to allow the “err- “I laid before him a plan. There were in New York many hundreds of able-bodied immigrant* who had served in German regiments. These had only te be armed and put on horse- to make them cavalrymen fit for service." They were armed and went south ward horseback and on foot, and did their best to earn the cash -not to pre serve the Union or to make secession odious. Gen. S. G. French, the native of New Jersey who became a Confederate sol dier, says that in the United States army there were 494,000 foreigners— 176.000 Germans. 144,200 Irish, 53,500. British Americans, 5,500 English, and other foreigners, 74,900. In the same service there were 276,439 Southern white Federals and 178,975 Southern negro Federals. The grand total, not including a single native born citizen of the North, was 950,314. By the way, one of the most conser vative writers I know is the editor and publisher of the Nashville Confederate Veteran. But even he makes thi* tell ing point in the July number: “For years the Veteran has permit ted the expression without protest that ‘we are all Americans.’ . . . Many times Confederates fought regiments in which the English language was not known. It may be claimed that for eigners who had come to the country and enlisted at once in the Union army and had taken the oath of allegiance were therefore ‘Americans;’ but na tives to the soil whose homes were de vastated by these hired bounty men can not accept that they were Americans." Perhaps 1 have digressed. Of just individuals who sympathized with the South or enlisted in her cause enough might be named to satisfy the Confed erates that they had scores of friends in the North who believed with them that their cause was right. Nathaniel P. Willis, a leading poet, editor and traveler of his day, was the constant friend of the South. Hiram Fuller, of Massachusetts, journalist, author and friend of Poe, espoused the cause of the South. Bayard Taylor, although believing the Union side was just, had no patience with the Quaker abolitionists who were his neighbors. It is declared that ex-President Frank lin Pierce was at heart a friend of the South. Among the men of Northern birth who held high rank in the Con federacy were Samuel Cooper, general, New Jersey; Josiah Gorgas, Chief of Ordnance, Pennsylvania; John C. Pem berton, general, Pennsylvania; Charles Clark, general, also Governor of Mis sissippi, Ohio; Daniel Ruggles, gener al, Massachusetts; W. II. Steven*, gen eral, New York; J. A. DeLagnel, gen eral, New Jersey ; S. G. French, gener al, New Jersey; R. S. Ripley, general, old thing. Nobody can make you be lieve that any sort of skin-game could be played on you until after you had been burnt. You listen to the agent; you decide that you never met a nicer man; you believe every word he says: you con sider his proposition perfectly fair, (and so it is,) %nd you scratch your name to the bottom of the printed note when the agent blandly requests it; and you take him at his word when he says that the note corresponds with his conversa tion. In that way you become the hap py proprietor of a patent for a new washing machine, or an improved churn, or water elevator, or window screen. I once knew a foxy farmer who quit his cotton-growing to travel around the country peddling a device to re lease a runaway hor3e from the vehicle. The agent had figured out a fortune in it, and the foxy farmer bit at it with prompt alacrity. The calculation was all right enough ; but by the time the foxy farmer had traveled with that device about three months he was more than willing that some one else should complete the jour ney to the end of the rainbow. And last of all comes the man who sells the foxy farmer some shares of stock in a Percheron stud-horse. When the foxy farmer arouses himself to see himself al others see him in this trans action, he hasn’t even got the strength to “consult a lawyer’’—much less fight the case in court. As Mr. Stephens’ client said to him in the divorce suit—after the wife had testified—“Well, ’Squire, I guess we’d better drap it’’—so the owner of stud horse stock is generally willing to let bygones b^ bygones. What I started out to remark, how ever—before I was interrupted in this ridiculous way—was that the country voter is in great danger of being dis franchised. Mr. Hoke Smith’s new law requires that registration must take place six months ahead of the election. The trick is that the city man can eaFiiv, and will certainly, register: while the foxy farmer lives at a dis tance from the books, arid is apt to neglect the matter until it is too late. Look out, farmer! The city politi cian is afraid of your vote. They hope that the new law will cut out the coun try people by the thousand. Boys, let us have that new law changed. Three months ahead of the election is long enough interval between register ing and voting. When the Legislature meets again the law ought t:o be amended.

In the spring of 1861 he resided at Carbondale, HI. In Mav he heard Logan make a speech at Mur- physboro in which he waa outspoken for the South. Logan also assured Metcalf, when told that the newly or ganized “rebel” company of Illinois was going South the next day, that he would follow the boys shortly. “All the leading men residing in southern Illinois then were for Southern rights,” states Metcalf. The Illinois company in the Confed erate army was raised in Williamson and Jackson counties in that State. It numbered 45. At the time it was free the negroes Mr. Quiggel, United States Consul to Antwerp, wrote to the liberator of Italy in reply to his ques tion: “You have lived in the United States, and you must have observed what a dreadful calamity it would be to throw at once upon the South, in looseness, four million of slaves: but if this war be prosecuted with the bitter ness with which it has been begun, i would not be surprised if it resulted in the extinction of slavery in the United States, whatever may be the conse quences.

The other day an important looking gentleman took a seat beside a quiet man in an Aikansas railway carriage and began a conversation. “I’m going un to Little Rock,” he said “to get a pardon for a convicted thief. I’m not personally acquainted with the Governor, but he can’t afford to refuse me." “Is the fellow guilty?” asked the man. “Of course he is: but that makes no difference. His friends have agreed to give me $5«>0 if I get him out, and the thermometer is very low when I can’t put up a good talk. Where are you traveling?" “Going to Little Rock.” “Do you live there?" "Yes." “Perhaps you might be of some ser vice tome.

Every mus cle, nerve, tissue, bone and sinew is dependent on this vita! fluid for nour ishment ami strength necessary to maintain them in health and enable each to perform the different duties nature requires. Even the heart, the verv “engine ” of life, receives its vigor and motive power from the blood. Since so inc h is dependent on this vital fluid it can very readily be seen how necessary it is to have it pure and uncontaminated if we would enjoy the blessing of good health. Bad blood is responsible for most of the ailments of mankind; when from any cause it. becomes infected with impurities, humors or poisons, disease in some form is sure to follow. Muddy, sallow complexions, eruptions, pimples, etc., show that the blood is infected with unhealthy humors which haye changed it from a pure, fresh stream to a sour, acrid fluid, which forces out its impurities through the pores and glands of the skin. A very common evidence of bad blood is sores or ulcers, which break out on the flesh, often from a very insignificant bruise or even scatch or abrasion. If the blood was pure and healthy the place would heal at once, but being loaded with impurities, which are discharged into the wound, irritation and inflamma tion are set up and the sore continues. Bad blood is also responsible for Anaemia, Boils, Malaria, etc.; the weak, polluted circulation cannot fur nish the nourishment and strength required to sustain the body, and a general run-down condition of health results.
