He will force another war or compel explanation that will humiliate Napoleon be- fore all Europe. Peor Semmes. How completely the poor Admiral Raphael ‘has dropped out of the world’s thoughts. It may be said that ho dived into nothingness ever since the day when, having surrendered himself Winslow’s prisoner, he ducked his head under the water to run away hidden in the “bottom of an Englishman’s boat. Semmes is editor of a paper somewhere in the indefinite Southwest; he is also professor of moral ‘philosophy in a Southern college, and he goes around delivering 9 twaddling little lecture on the Alabama, perhaps to keep himself before the people—perhaps making some feeble attempt to explain away his terrible record. Some one ought to start a subscription and petition the President to put Semmes in Fort ‘Lafayette—just to give him the glory of mar- ~tyrdom and drag him out of that horrible ob- scurity which must be worse to him than ten deaths a day. Political Pilgrims to the South. Senator Wilson is the first to set forth, with wallet and staff, on a political pilgrimage to the South. This is well; but he ought not to go alone. Senator Sumner might safely ac- company his colleague from Massachusetis; ‘the Brookses are all dead. Old Thad Stevens, ‘before he dies, should see the lands which he ‘wants to confiecate. Ben Loan and Mr. Ashley might travel down South together to advantage; the latter might chance to pick up somewhere that missing and longed for letter of Andy Johnaon to Jeff Davis. General Butler and General Banks might revisit New Orleans; ‘the former could find whether he left anything ‘dehind him when he packed up and came away. Horace Greeley might learn something + by conversing about free trade with some of this old adversaries. William Lloyd Garrison could see with his own eyes and at home the Southern negro, whom he has talked and writ- ten so much about as “a man and « brother,” or ® bother. Wendell Phillips should study ‘the march of Sherman from Tennessee to the Atlantic, and the march of Grant from the Wil- derness to the Appomattox, in order to learn why dhe names of those great generals are dear to the American people; and he might learn much “amore than he actually knows ofthe relations of the freedmen to their former masters. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe has already gone far South to eee whether her descriptions of “Uncle “Tom's Cabin” and “Life Among the Lowly” -were exaggerated or not. Her brother, Henry ‘Ward Beecher, had better join her instead of -going to Jerusalem this summer ; Theodore “Curtis could accompany him on a lecturing tour throughout the Southern States. If they “taught their hearers nothing they would all be apt to learn something themselves. By all means let them follow Senator Wilson as politi- -eal pilgrims to the South. ; Canada and Caba. ’ Mr. Seward has succeeded admirably in the whole scheme of the purchase of Russian _ America, and bas taken a good step towards - speuring for us the nest prospective boundary ‘of sunrise, sunset, the North Pole and the America is disgracefally ugly, and Mr. Seward should make it fit to meet the American eye.
