Perhaps, in their case, wo should say bloodless, for they never let any more of tho real artiole than Zack Chandlor, and noithor of the three any except'byrproxy : which was enough. - Agent Morris, of the State Prison, has discharged an employo because he declared for Greeley. Wo really hope that he will not apply the same rule to the inmate8, for if he does a gonuine stampode my bo looked for.
