The I>aily News. FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 35,1866. The Duty of the Hour. [Frort. fh< Sichmond Tima, May 19 ] We were favored a few dava since with a letter irom a very worthy gentleman, who honored us urith a great deal of gratuitous advice relative tu Tthe manner in which the Sou thorn, press and peo .pie should deport themselves at this time. Oar adviser evidently believes that we should imitate the earlv Christians, as well as the "Covenantors, j in the times of Clav'erhouse, and weep for our ] dead where the voice of our 1 ameut?tions shall j ilot offend the. oars of jacobins and Radicals. Ali such indiscretions as piously gathe/i.iir up tho bones of dead Confederate soldiers, a"d (strewing flowers upon their humble graves, should bo care " ?fuh> avoided. Neither should w make much adoJ about tho great renown of Stonewall Jackson, "fori these demonstrations do much harm." "To all this we have but one response to make The Southern people, although denied nearly aH the rights and privileges of American citizens, are rendering to the Federal laws and Constitu? tion a respectful obedience which is worthy oil imitation at Washington. They are paying their, taxes, .although they are denied all the advan? tages of representation, and they are a law-abid? ing pooplei But we scorn and spit upon all the, attempts which merciless, ungenerous and tyrannical revo? lutionists are making to dictate to us where our sympathies; affections and sorrows are concerned. ""Treason ian never bo undo odious' by vile and impudent attempts to dictate to the Southern .people where questions of sentiment and feeling ' aro concerned. . . Those who advise us to try concessions, humility and "reticence" with Helicals and Jacobins, are ^utterly . ignorant of 4hu history of such partier The leaders of such parties are as merralee? is .wolves. They triumph as long SB they are opv ^ed Toy timid conservative parties. Let our correa Sndent read the history of the Jacobin party in ance, and he will find that it triumphed over all, .who opposed it with timid conservative- appeals and arguments. ' ' j > J Such parties must be taken by the throat and strangled. They must be denounced and pursued as enemies of the human family., i Andrew John son understood the wisdom of this offensive policy when be grappled. Sumner and Stevens, as a po? liceman would two veteran offenders, and boldly denounced,them. Andrew Jackson dealt with his political enemies in the same way, and crushed a party far more formidable than the Radicals. The Enow-Nothing party was a.giant in strength until Governor Wise inaugurated a fierce, merciless, relentless war upon tbs Order, and it died like a huge serpent in his grip. So must the revolutionists be met and conquer? ed now. North and South, all Union loving, hon? est, conservativo,- God-fearing men must draw the sword and cast away the scabbard. With the desperate, lawless men who have seized the vessel of State there can be no compromise-no terms of honor ab .e capitulation. They have seized the ship, dishonored the "otara and stripes," and run up the black flag of Anarchy, Disunion and Revo? lution. ' They have proposed no compromise to the Son th that docs not mean Infamy, Degrada? tion,. Dishonor, Negro Equality, Disfranchise? ment andGonfiacation. . President Johnson, sus . tamed by the great mass of the respectable poli? ticians of the North,' has determined to rescue the ship bf ' State from these men. His policy wul hereafter be aggressive, because it is tho only one - which promisee ultimate success. We ..believe that so far as the Southern people are concerned, there la ' neither honor nor eafety in "reticence" and "respectful acquiescence." We ;~ are the rictima of monstrous and moat ungene? rous outrages; and the revolutionists, in showing their malignant detestation of us, are trampling . apon the Coos ti tut ion to effect our degradation and nun. The allegiance which we owe to the ? Constitution and la wa of tho Unit od Stares ia not due to those who have deliberately trampled those laws under foot. It is as much our-duty to protect those laws as it is Andrew Johnson's, and it is right and proper that we should denounce our calumniators, de? famers, and traducers. They are not the Govern-) mont, and it ls to that, and not to its enemies, we owe obedience. When- the people of the South failed to achieve that national independence for .which they battled for -four years, tneir failure, entailed no disgrace, neither does our renewed fealty require that we should sacrifice a singlo feeling or sentiment of manliness to the dictation af such men as those whom the President has most justly denonnced as wicked and malignant ?'disunionlsts" and "enemies of their country." John Mitchel on the State nt Ireland* Mr. John Mitchel has addressed a second epistle to the Opiniono Nationale on Ireland. His former letter, he says, waa commented upon in a leading article of the Times, but nd one disputed the facts set forth in it, and the Times deduced from them an argument in favor of the coercive system in Ireland. He hopea tbat no one in France will ever again declare that Ireland ia administered by the same laws, or that she enjoya the eame liberties as England. The grievances which Mr. Mitchel now complains of may bo Bummed up thus : The existence in I -eland of a code to which England, Scotland, and Wales are arrangera. Exceptional laws by which tho Irish people are prohibited from deliberating among themselves < n tbeir own affairs by means of a committee of dele? gates ' elected for that object. The right of possessing arms restricted to a few favored per? sons. The teaching or learning drill, or any mili? tary manouvre whatever, even without arms, ia Erohibited, under penalty of transportation, with ard labor. The Dish cannot organize them? selves as voluntee s for the defence of their country. And, finally, the sheriffs of the large -cities, instead of being elected by their fellow citizens, as iu England, are named by the crown, in order to jecure the juries. Everybody must admit that auch a system ia well adapted for crushing in Ireland all free action and ail politi? cal and civil lifo. It ia true that the rigorous vigi? lance of the English in preventing the Irish from Erocuring arms and learning the use of them may e considered as a aort of compliment to us. Eng? land does us the honor of believing that if we had arms we should know how to make a proper use of them, and they will have nothing of the kind. It is a compliment badly turned; but in the mat? ter of compliment between England and Ireland we must sot ba nice. Let na, then, accept it for the moment until we got better. We shall doubt? less be told that Ireland has access, through her representatives, to the London Parliament, and has.thus legal, certain, abd sufficient means to obtain all reforms and liberties necessary and accessory. But in reality in that Parliament Ire? land has but a derisive semblance of repreaenta tion, and that representation, such as it is, is completely controlled by tho British Government. The Irish peoplo do not believe that they are re? presented in the English Parliament. They do not desiro to be so. They have not tho right to bo so. They hope for nothing good-nothing just from that Parliament; and they have never reaped anything from its legislation but famines, ana a system of corruption and ruercion without parallel. Those very laws which purported to be reforms have done nothing but evil to Ireland. It is by the law of muni upai reform that the British Government has f ?und the moana of al? ways picking and choosing its juries. It ia bv the Catholic Emancipation Act that the Government haa been enabled to buy up the richeat and most influential Catholics, who, but for it, would never have dared to sell themselves. In a word, the London Parliament, to which we are referred for the redress of ali our grievances, is itself the greatest and the most fatal of all the grievances of Ireland, and includes all the others. Ireland, then, in tho judgment of the majority of its popu? lation, has no legal and constitutional moana of obtaining justice. Hence we have Fenianism, the deliberate and organized negation of all English laws and of that Constitution which the English call the wonder and envy of the nations of the universe." Mr. Mitchel intimates that bo proposes, in a fu? ture letter, to explain clearly what Fenianism ia and, above all, what it ia not. Mortuary Statistics of the War. The statistics of mortality in tho F?deral army are exceedingly interesting. On the 15th of April 1861, President Lincoln called for seventy-live* thousand militia, and waa ridiculed by many per? sons for calling out so large a force, as the "Seventh Begiment" of New York dandies propos? ed crushing out the rebellion by marching through the Confederato States from ''Alexandria to New OrleanB." Before our armies were defeated and the Confederacy destroyed, two million seven hun? dred thousand men had enlisted in the Federal armies, of which number ninety-six thoueand died in battle, and one hundred and eighty-four thou? sand died of disease. Thia grand total of two hundred and eighty thousand met their death in every shape. Fifty thousand were killed outright upon the battle? field; thirty-five thousand died of wounda, while disease awept off one hundred thousand. Two millions four hundred thousand left the Federal armiea alive, but of that number scores of thousands are legless, armless and invalids, dismembered and disfigured by their wounds. The number of commissioned officers who were tither killed in battle or died from wounds or disease was upwards of seven thousand five hlTr??umber of white troops enlisted was almost exactly 2,500,000 men; the number of deaths among them, 251,122, or one death out or ten. Tho number of colored troop* was ISO.Cvl'.or whom 29,288 (!!*c!, 6r about ?be out of six. The death rate of tho colored lr->ope waB therefore nearly double that of th.? wi-ite; but the iSiVn rate from dieoas alon w?is far worse than this. Out of every eigbt deaths among the white troops, three died on the field of battle and five from dis ea*\ Ont or every nine deaths amoDg the blacks, one died ou tuc field of battle and eight from dis? ease. Coffee, as a belligerent, would uave had a good timo of it but for diseane. _ _ "> .>-V 0> The elastics in Debate. Thero ia probably no assembly tn the world whero an apt quotation from tho classics is so keenly relished as in the English House of Com mouB. Many au orator, weak in his logic and un? certain as to his facts, has regained tho sympathy I of his audience there by a fortunate morsel of. | Horace, or Juvenal, or Virgil, and manar a true man has had thu laugh against him *-conse? quence of Borne lucky hit made by his adversary, or some trip mudo by himself in the game of quo? tations. - A "'iriuue instance .ftf this fondness forclassical Citation occurred in the great reform debates of j thiB Bpriug. Mr, GladstoQO and Mr, Lowe, wno has been, perhaps, the ablest oppotreiit of ?he bill, bandied, on severs] occasions, thc passages' in tho recoud bi ok of the ?Eueid, relating to thc woollen horse by which tho Greeks deceived the Trojrne. Mr. Gladstone started the game ono eTOfcing in March, when he was denying that the increwtcd political power of thc working classes ia fraught with dauger : " Wo cannot look upon it as the Trojan horse ap roaching the walls of the sacred city, and filled with med men uent upon ruin, plunder and confiscation, re cannot Join In comparing it with that monttrum tn flue- wo, cannot say-. -. "-Scandlt fatalls machina murna, Focta annis: meditrque minaos ill&bitur urbi." ^Or BB Dryden baa lt : " ' At length the fatal fabric mounts tho walls, Big with destruction. It enters o'er our heads, and threats the town.' ' ' Mr. Lowe, speaking on the following evening, possibly after conning his Virgil a little, saw his ray to turn this to account. " The Chancellor of I ?the Exchequer," he aaid, " baa found a quotation j describing something, and then savs, 'that is not my bill.* " "Well that was a very apt quotation, but there was a curious felicity about it which he little dreamt of. The House romombers that among other proofs of the degree in which public opinion ia onliated in the causo of reform was this,-that | this is now the fifth Reform Bill that has been brought in since 1851. Now, just attend to the sequel of tho passage quoted by the right honora? ble gentleman. I am no believer in sortes Vigil tance, and tue House will see why in a moment: " 'O Dlvnm domus Ilium, et inclyta bello IM otiia Dardant dum! quater ipso in limloe portie Subatltlt, atque utero sonitum quater arma dedero.' " [Much cheering and laughter." But that is not all: " m 'Instamus timon itnmemorcs cacique furore, Et monstrnm infelix nacre ta alf tiaras arce.' " J"[Cheers.] Well, I abominate the presage con? tained in the last two linea, but I mix my confi Idonce with fear. "To follow Dryden/a tranBlation again " '0 sacred city, built by hands divine 1 O valiant heroes of the Trojan linet Four rimes he st.uck; as oft tt c clashing sound Of arms was heard, and inward groans rebouud. Vet, mad with zeal, and blinded with our fate. We haul along tho horse in solemn state.' " Mr. Gladstone apparently did not think it worth while to foUownp bia game muoh further. On the next evening, however, charging Mr. Lowo with denouncing the workingmen,"he recurred to bia linea first quoted, in atone of;explanation more grave than that which he might have used with effect: * ' 'I said this ls no 'monttrum infelix,' ?o horse charged with armed men, who are to carry fire and desolation to your homes; bnt my right honorable friend rushed in haste into the trap, and with portentous emphasis ex? claimed : M instamus tarnen lmmemo/es, caeclqac furore, Et monstrum infelix sacra ta slstimus tree.' " I"What is the 'monttrum infdix ?' Who are the person a contained in it ? The 7-pounders J" . [Loud cheers.] Finally, in the great closing debate of the ses? sion, Mr. Lowe rejoined and ended the affair, by a final recurrence to the quotation, in a strain which ia striking for ita easy raillery and keen sarcasm combined. We confess that we are uncertain whether the "insulting Siuon" of this closing quo? tation waa intended for Mr. Gladstone, whom Mr. Lowe had accused of great indecorum toward the House, or Mr. Bright, who ia asserted by the lervatives to be the real leader, who, at the I ot tho hoot of Domooracy,^itanda b obj ntl [the ministry: "I have said inst I nm utterly unable to coincide In the reasouB wbloh the Chancellor of the Exchequer has laid before us in support of this bill, but there is hap? pily one common ground left to us, and that is the Second Book of the ?neid of Virgil. ['Hear,' and a laugh.1 My right hon. friend, like the moth that bas singed its wings in tho candle, has roturnod again to the poor old Trojan horse, [a laugh,] and 1 shall, with the permission of the House, give them ono more excerpt from the history of that noble beast; first promlsin g that I shall then tura him ont to grass, at all events for I tho remainder of tho season. [Oheers and laughter.) The passage which I am about to quote, is ono which ' is, I think, .worthy the attention of the House, because ' it contains a description, not only of the invading army I of which we have heard so much, but also a slight sketch [ of its General." [A laugh! : "Arduus armatos meddle lu monibus odstans Fuodit equus, viotorque Binon incendia misoet Insultaos [cheers and laughter]: portia alli bip ilea tibua adsunt, Mulla quot msgnis aunquani venere Mycenls." [Cheers.] In other words : "The fatal horse pours forth the human tide, Insulting Binon flings his firebrands wide, The gates are burst; the ancient rampart (alls, And a warming millions climb Its crumbling walls." After all, however, these quotations lack tue I fine flavor which some of those long since record? ed derive from evidently extemporaneous citation land instant nae. Congressional misquotations from the poets aro proverbial. Mr. Clay rarely had occasion to dc Cart from tho realm of his affluent imagination; ut we have boen informed by a ' former honored editor of the Intelligencer, that on one occasion he essayed to quote from Shakspeare the familiar passage "Let the galled jade wince, My withers are un wrung." He was twico corrected by Mr. Freston, of South ?Carolina, but had it wrong at last. The Springfield Republican has a good hit ia I this wiso. We quote: , "SHAKSPEABX TS THE SENATE.-Script uro, Shakspeare and the old Greeks and Bomana gederally, fare badly When they fall into the hands of Congressmen. Thero was an amusing illustration of ?Ms. in the Sonate, Thursday, when three disttagiiisb .alors tried to give a familiar quotation from Sha md neither did it correctly. ' Mr. Doolittle, of Wisconsin, bat ! the differ. Tentwinga of the Bepublicau part: Iversal-suf. frage party, led by Mr. Sumner; th ni conflaoa tioa party, led by Mr. Stevens; the uui.oraal-banglng party, led by Mr. Nye, and the universal-amnesty-in-re turn-for-unlveraal-suffrage party, led by Mr, Stewart. The attempt to unite these he described by a quotation from Shakspeare, putting lt in this way: "Mingle, minglo, as they -uay, Blue spirits and gray." Mr. Sumnor suggested, by way of correction : "White spirits and gray." "Mr. Cowan said thero were no white spirits in it. Mr. Doolittle did not know; gave lt up, and said he ?. ould trust tho reporters to quote it aright. But thc reporters did not take the tr.uble. Mr. Doolittle was nearer right than either of his critics. Mr. Sumner failed to mix the colors correctly, and Mr. Cowan was oltogetber wrong lu insisting upon leaving eut the white spirits, though perhaps he moant, by way of joke, to iusiuuate that all the schemes described by Mr. Doo? little were "colored" ones. The true rendering of tho witches' song is: ? 'Black spirits and whito, Blue spirits and gray ; Minglo, mingle, minglo, You that mingle may.' " Cookery Scientifically Treated. FroicBBor BLOT, a fainoua authority in culinary matters, has boon giving illustrated lectures on cookery in Boston, whero his subject and manner of. treating it attracts much attontion. He cooked on the atage the dishes of which ho discoursed. From a report of hia third lecture, publi8hed in tho Boston Fost, we extract some general obser? vations which will be found interesting and useful by the ladies : An omelet may be made more flaky by being set in the oven as soon as done. Never bring fat to the table. Potatoes, when cut into thin slips like a pencil, make them potatoea Franoaiae. The quicker broth coola tho longer it will keep. Many people miatake rich food for high sea-1 soned food. Rich food is hoalthy; high seasoned food is unhealthy. Rich food is not stimulating; hot food ia stimulating. In aummor make broth every other day. In baking moat, no matter what kind, always put in aome broth. The top of an oven is always the warmest. To prevent from burning grease a I paper with butter and put on the top of tho arti clo baking. Thia will keep tho top of the meat or broad aa moist aa the bottom. The paper preventa the steam from rising. You need only to baatc the paper occasionally. Some meata require lesa time to bake than othera. Pork and veal, to be healthy, should always be overdone. Speaking of the tnohinee in meat, the Professor said that ii the in^at is overcooked there was no danger from it. Many people have eaten diseased meat without injury. A whole brigade of the French army in 1793-and it was an historical fact -waa fed on diseased meat for four or five months; and at the end of that time the men were apparently aa healthy as those of other brigades who ate wholesome meat. The fact of it was the diseased meat was overcooked, and the men did not know the difference. The Professor .could not recommend diseased meat, but the object of referring to the subject was simply to show the importance, sometimes, of overcooking meat. At the close of tho lecture the ladies came for? ward to the platform, and with spoon tested BOP^ of tho Professor's cooking. It waa evident that they relished ss on the two previous occasions, the rennie of ii is gastronomical experiments.
