When the Confederate army lay down its arms at Appomattox, it laid down forever all hostility to the Union. Disunion Was a word which a, did not know—it h passed from them. They knew that it the: remained true to the Union that they hal friends in the north, and that if they did not the whole north would be united against them. Peace was the only safety of the south. They shrunk from the idea of civil war with horror. In peace only is the pcos- perity of the south, aye, the liberty of the south. The south had had millions of trea- sure and thousands in the step which it took, it had been steeped in poverty fo the lips, and was not that enough. He spoke of the devotion which the south pow felt for the Union, and said much as he deplored war, at times he had almost wishet for a foreign war, that the united sacrifies< of the south and north might bury forever all the animosities of the late civil strife.

Bowker was arrested on Taestay for robbing the mails. Bowker is sixty-four years of age, and has been emplo; asa clerk in the postoffice at Boston for twenty- three years, winning the esteem of his em- ployer and associates. For nearly two years past valuable letters had fuiled to reach their destination, either going or coming through the Boston office. Special Agent Field took the matter in hand, and at length traced the irregularity to the se room,where Bow- ker was employed. The clerks were closely watched, and Bowker was seen to put letters inhis pocket. The arrest was made, word having tously been sent to Postraaster Burt, bei whom the culprit’ was brought. On his way to the Postmaster, Bowker was seen to transfer some letters from his ket to his hat, and when from compulsion he ook off his hat inthe presence his chier he letters fell upon the table. Several of the etters were found tocontain money.
