Each carried his own extra hat Old Ben. Butler. In an article under this head, the Caddo after poking considerable fun at the arch enemy of the South, says, as an individual he is unworthy of mention, but as an influential member of Congress, and the aspirant to the leadership of the Radical hosts, he is so prominently placed before the nation as to render him an object of no little fear to the South. We cannot ignore the influence which, (with shame we must acknow'edge) he exercises with an eye singly and an eye evil to the oppression and degradation of Southern "rebels." Wemaythonk Irs repressible rancour, for all the 'ndictive legislation he He knows that he is despised; and he knows that bis career of rapine and tyranny in New Orleans has thrown bim without the pale of reconciliation and compromise. He knows that he can look for no quarter from a peop 1 whom he ground to the dust i der the specious pretence of prr ish'-ig whose altars he po''uted; whose women he insr' ed and by whose fivesides he left smou'dei'ng the ashes of ilio'r hopes.

He knows that he can manufacture no political capital in a region religiously hostile to his name and character, and as a meet solace to his sou 1 he is working out his revenge in petty scheme for the perpetual disf' anchisment of "rebels." Such men as Butler and Stevens have placed all the obstacles in the path of restoration of the Southern people to the old love of country and fealty to government. By incessant irritation they have kept open the wound that sound policy as we 1 as magnanimous behavior to a foe might, and would, have boothed and They find a fiendish de ght in our si'flfei ngs, and would not, 'or worlds, accept oi" professions of allegiance to a benign and liberal government, nor hear of our material prosperity. iien Butler took his stand in nd'cation of the innocence of thej couulry was a'most betrayed into the conviction that a new era of peace on eaith and good wi to men was about to daw a upon it. With our eyes dimmed by the taars of sympathy we not first discern that Hecuba was nothing to him, nor he to Hecuba. We not at the moment comprehend that Bi-igham was the game he rrming down, and that the memr -e of I wojld have been F'ed by fastening upon a participation in the Ciuci Sr'on.

The of doubt has been disposed by the sun of tiuth and tie character of the man looms up in a 1 its hideous deformity. We doubt he was ever surprised by a charitable emotion. We doubt if an impose, not given by revenge or self-interest, ever d-'sturbed the placid malevolence of his native. But he will run his course. No impediment can withstand his iron 11 and when the hour of dissolution approaches he may, perhaps, retrace, in imagination, his dark career.

He may, with his dying eyes, behold the ghost of the murdered Muiuford. He may be haunted by the apparitions of his many victims of oppression and plunder; and. when he goes down to his grave, let the stone which marks the spot, be inscribed with the words: "He wag the Isbm of day and time," "And when hin frown of hatred darkly fell, withering Mercy sighed farewell A white child was picked up a few days ago, near South Boston Virginia, while floating in a skiff on Dan river. It was nicely ensconced in a metalic burial case, with a bottle of milk for it to suck, and its head pillowed on $25 in greenbacks, Freshly plucked roses the little stranger, and it bore proawaent signs of crime in high "life. The New York World an account of a case of reJig aberration extending to an ent' family in Caldwe 11 county, North and resulting in the iusanity of apparently ever member of the household, and the murder of the mother and daughters by the father and brothers.

The family consisted of James Land, fifty years of age, his wife, two daughters, of foU age, two younger sons, and two iufant children. They were of the ignorant white class and very poor. Previous to their aberration they were remarkably quiet, industrious, religious and affectionate as a family. Last August their religious fee 1v igs wore great'y aroused at a protected meeting, where, "for unie days and nights, from 9 A. M.

to 10 P. preaching was kept up by three ministers, witfe brief inteii ap'ions for meals." As the resuH of the excitement thus aroused, the fa irly resolved itself into a continuai meeting at home. The mother and daughter exhorted, and soon had visions and prophesied. One of tho daughters, Sally, at length believed heiaelf to be "tho true God," and at t'tnes regarded her sis jr PoVy as a person to be sacrificed. The mother soon conceived that Sa was tho devil, and ordered her husband and sons to shoot her which they did and buried her body.

For this they wore arrested and committed to the county jail, where, being all confined in the same "cage," tho two sons strangled their mother, apparently under the influence of the kindred delusion that she had bewitched them. During their trial they appeared too demented to entertain the least sense of remorse or regr et, and when acquitted on the ground of insanity they received the verdict with idiotic indifference. The lesson taught by such phenomena, is a very old re g'ous excitement, like a 11 others, mast be moderate in degree or it may be fearful, perhaps fatal in its resists The special Memphis d'spatches in the New Orleans Times of yet. terday, conta 'is the follow'ug pp iicr rr of a hoi Iblo at Jackson, on Monday i )g last.

The English are applying electricity to the manipulation of church organs, by which some advantages are gained. In many country parishes the clergyman is the only inhabitant capable, of playing the instrument.
