Three weeks ago the Abolitionists had a pro cession which passed along Chestnut and other streets in this city, and was not molested.— The Democrats did nothing to break the peace. The Keystone Club House was stoneu but no police protected it, and th onlv arrests made were of unoffending Democrats. But as soou as the Democracy Legau their march on Satur day nicht, a new order of things prevailed.— From Thirteenth sired down to Sixth, by a pre-arranged plan, squads of Abolition rioters were posted at every advantageous point. Cir cumstances convince us that this was arranged beforehand, and that roughs and bruisers were collected, and in sotue eases paid to be on hand for the dark and infamous work. At the Un ion League House, just below Thirteenth street both sides of the street were filled with Aboli tionists. Policemen were scattered througn the crowd at that point hut at the Commonwealth building, below Seventh Street, though a large crowd of Abolitionists Were assembled, scarce a policeman was to be seen in the early part of the evening. They were at the League House to protect it; but, for the Commonwealth building, they prudently stayed away for fear they might have to arfest some of their Aboli tion friends. At a little after nine the procession began to move past the League House. At tho very commencement it was greeted with hoots and howls. The police made no effort to stop their' hisses. Then stones una mud were thrown.— j The police did not stop that. Stones were thrown out of the second story windows of the League House, but not a police man entered it to arrest anv riote.r. Or.e of these struck Hub ert E. Randall, Esq , who was at tho head of one of the divisions, and severely injured him. ; Alderman MeMullen, whilst expostulating with tho police, and reminding them of their duty, j and doing all he could to maintain the peace, was struck on the head and on he leg, and j badiy hurt Abolitionists rushed out ot the crowd, and struck tha men in the procession, and threw sticks and stones and tuud at the Democratic banners and transparencies, yet not an arret was made. Almost every banner was injured, and in one ease which came under our , own observation, a man stood with a large club j between two policemen and struck at the horse- j men and the banners, yet not an effort was made to stop him. For a while the Democrats loth to cause a disturbance, bore it. But uow j forbearance ceased to be a virtue. They rush- j i for the balance of the evening the Leaguers uM j 1 not molest the procession. , ! \ t > h e Commonwealth building a blood) ' was - nacted.

The windows were smashed and the huge lamp in front of the bniiding knocked to pieces.— Lincoln and Johnson were peppered, and from their appearance the next day, looked as if tiiey had enough of it. Foremost among the Democrats was a Zoyave who threw sioue af ter stone down the cellar steps ; and far back in i .e cellar, itself could be seen policemen and rioters frightened out of their wits, crouching behind benches and tables. For fifteen min utes the battle continued. Nothing could re sist the torrent. A large oval space on the pavement and street in front of the building was empty. Over it the missiles were poured into the building, aud on it lay at least a doz en men. The rioters, police, and all were clear ed off the ground by the Democracy ; the lights in the building were put out by sotui one, aud the nroeession moved on. Tiii* was the end of tlio riot. There was no more molestation. - The lino moved forward unbroken. WhtU'wus left of the police tried to nail u t > broken doors and patch broken win dows, but not an Abolitionist was seen from the Fifteenth Ward to the end of the line ; the Democratic columns moved forward unbroken. One mau was killed and seventeen at e kuown to have been v. ounded. The murdered man was a Democrat, and was killed by a .-loue thrown from the north side of the street. At least ten policemen were hurt. Nothing can equal the indignation against the police. Many Republicans say that the manner in which they allowed the Abolition rioters to do as they J pleased was shameful Mayor Henry should j road his men a lesson for Saturday night's work. If he does not he is unworthy to be Mayor of Philadelphia." Yesterday morning thousands visited the battle-field. The Coram .uwealth building was most sorrowful to behoid. Iho j two lamps in frorit looked as if they had been on a drunk for a week. They ware bent and twistml most fantastically. The front of the building fvas hacked and narked by the mis sile-. The doors ahd window sashes were kept from falling down by boards nailed across them. The collar was gutted. '1 be central Police Station was a huge hospital.

HOW SOMh OFFICIALS WIVES LE VIED ■ UL.KCK MAIL ON IMPORTERS. Attention lias been repeatedly callod in the /•Icpir.ts to the gross frauds perpetrated in the Custom House. The sham investigation made in secret by Solicitor Jourdan, about the man agement of the Custom House only resulted in white-washing the officials charged with fraud ulent malpractice. The course of the Solicitor in the Prize Sales investigation, might have giv en an earnest of the result of tbo later inquiry. The Cbngressioio.' CJmniitleC on Public Ex penditures, however, succeeded in discovering many of the thkvi.su'abuses in the various de partments, after -'rsistently enforcing tke at tendance of witnesses during several months, and a few number of the officials were removed. The latest developments, however, show that wherever practicable, there was a general con spiracy among the attaches who had charge of bonded goods, to rob the merchants of this city. The merchant places his goods in the bonded warehouse at his own risk. While it is under stood that they shall be returned to him as they were received, ho has no claim for damage should they bo stt len or injured. The knowl edge of this fact led the officials to play a sharp game, by which they were enabled to stealtroia the Government Stores property belonging to merchants worth over a million of dollars in each year. The merchants knew they had no remedy, and had therefore to submit to the rob bery. Tile new Collector, Mr. Draper, however, has suuimarlly ended this game. The search-, ing investigation which hei3 now making about j the management of the bonded warehouses and ] the encouragement he has given to merchants j to expose any frauds to which they have bean ] subjected while life predecessor was in office, [ is hourly resulting in the discovery of m ilprac- ; tics and rascality among 30ia-3 of the office ! holders. The frauds were perpetrated in this wise:— ' Half the quantities of silk stored in the ware- j houses wore abstracted; barrels of sugar were : robbed of a portion of their contents, tea-chests j were rifted : cases of gloves were stolen—in ' gfe l Iskcd he !H i'; they even whispered a complaint about their j wrongs, the thievish officials heard of it, and ' they soon had ample revenge. Valuable cases of goods belonging to the complaining mer- ] j chants would be removed to damp portions of ' the stores; where, they would soon lose half their 1 value, or be destroyed. And thus the unfortu ' natc importers found that it would have bceu more profitable for thorn to have submitted to i the series of robberies than to the damage of ! their goods caused by their exposure of the ! thieves. Collector Draper has further discov i ered that the wives and "lady" relatives of a I number of the officials in charge of the bonded warehouses had levied a species of black mail on merchants. After being introduced to the importers they freely patronized their stores. Of course they paid for nothing. In all cases where they were refused articles without mon ey, they complained to the officials, who sup plied their wants from the warehouses, or 111- tlioted damages on the importer's goods, accord ing as they in their retributive wisdom deemed Ir-st. Hints for Hard Tiine3. 1 Credit never permits a man to know the real : aluo of money, nor to have full control, over ; I ,i. s affairs. It' presents all his expenses in the ' ! Segregate, and not in detail. Every one has t i oTre or less of the miser's love of money—of 6 \ he actual gold pieces and the crisp bank notes. It Now, if you have these things in your pocket, i", |ou see theru, as you make your purchases, ; t Visibly diminishing under your eve. The les nifeuing heap cries to you stop. \ou would like ti-to buy this, and the other; but you know cx iniotlv how much money you have left, and if lai-ou go on buying more thing?, your purse will ioon be empty. You do not see thi3 • hen vou lake credit. You give your orders freely, with 'ts-jut thought or calculation ; and when the' day m t)f payment comes, you find that you have e 'bverrUn the constable. ?ir On every hand we see <op. living on crcd- putting off pay day uti; the last, making okjn the end some desperate clfort, cither by beg )t-rjin<r or borrowing, to scrape the money togeth er and then struggling on again with :ue cau !'®ker of care eating at their heart to the inevita ilyblc goal of bankruptcy. If people would only " make a push at the beginning, instead of at o' the end, they would save themselves all this u misery. The great secret of being solvent, a and well to do, and "comfortable, is to get : ir ahead of "'our exposes.

There are, >t! no doubt many persons so unforiunately situa it [ Cl ] th' they can rsrtrr accomplish this, if No man can guard against ill health, no man " can insure himself a well conducted hopeiul h< family or a permanent ir \nme.

S. —Mr. Lincoln intends to carry Indiana at all hazards. So lis friends sav, and so appearances indicate. Military subjugation holds —military despotism rules.—■ This city is full of armed men, and the Capi tol grounds are crowded. 'They swarm at the corners of all the principal streets. They hold possession of the depot. Armed men stand 011 the platform as yoil enter the cars at cither door. You buy your tickets watched by sol diers, with bayonets fixed. They guard the entrance to the passenger rooms. Th ibsands of them ha\'e been Sent home from the army.—- More of them are desired and expected. If a fair vote is allowed the State is Demo cratic by fifteen thousand. How much chance there is for a fair vote facts will tell. The people here are pushed to the verge of desperation. The draft ia going on, and the conscripts instead of being allowed ten days, as is usu .1 in other States, are hurried away at once. A meeting was held in one ot the towns to petition Governor Morton to allow tno draft ed men the usual ten days. That night a train of ears filled with soldiers was sent out from the capital. In the middle of the night they surrounded the house and arrested the chairman of the meeting, a your.g man by the name ot Wolf, and hurried him off to a military prison. At the depot near Terre Haute I saw a crowd ot men, I should think numbering two hun dred, who filled the depet. Earnest, anxious, resolute lo king men as have gathered together since the news of the battle of Lexmgum in 1776 vibrated on the air. Their tiory was a j short one. A neighbor of theirs Mr. Humph- • reys, for the crime of being a McCieSlan man, j had been -elite J at night by a military force j sent from the capital, dragged from his bed, not allowed to communicate with family or friends, laughed at when he demanded for what lie was arrested, and hurried away to confinement. — The alarm spread from house to house, and from place to place : men gathered in clusters, some riding fifty miles between midnight an 1 morning, in hopes to intercept the train at a uother station. They were an hour too late. Other prominent men had been arrested in the same manner with the intentitm to strike terror on all sides. Bingham, oar- of the State Com mittee, and editor of the Sentinel 7 was arrested i made without warning. No man feels sate, it | is estimated that a spies or defectives, as they are called, in the pay of the Govern- j meut, are abroad in the State. An immense mass meeting was held nt \in ceunos. Vallandigham was invited to be pre a ent, and accepted the invitation. It was open ly declared that if he came he would be arres ted. I heard an officer say he would shoot him with his own hand if he arose to speak. The result was that more than tan tnousand people were present. Vallandigham was not the ,- e, • Ilad he been present, and a hair or his head been touohed, civil war would have been inau gurated in ten minutes. I never lived before under military despotism. I can understand the feeling of the French dur ing the Reign of Terror, when no man who laid his head on a pillow at night had any guar antee that it would not roll into a basket before morning, or Rt the very least, that lie would not be dragged to a dungeon. No uian feels safe. Terror spreads over the land. War's Devastation. What a lamentabio condition of things is fur nished to the world, to the humane and civil ized of every land, in tho brief sentences of Gen. Phil. Sheridan's despatch to the Secreta ry of War, dated the 7th. Ho says.- "I have destroyed over two thousand. barns tilled with wheat and hay and farming imple ments ; over 70 mills filled with flour and wheat : have driver, in front of tha army over four herds of stock, and have killed and issued to the. troops not less than 3,000 sheep, 1 bis destruction embraces the Luray \ alley and Little Port Valley, as well as the main valley. "Lieut .Tolm I\. Meigs, my engineer officer, was murdered beyond Harrisonburg, near Day ton. For this atrocious act all the houses within live miles were burned." Probably for tho sarao extent of country there was not a more productive, fertile and beautiful region than the one here mentioned, which the General has so thoroughly ravaged, wasted and destroyed. We are fast "raah.r.g a desert and calling it peace" —but will it bring back the old Lniou .—will it restore tho fra ternal feeling, that.love of country and its Hag which animated but a few years ago a great people 7 We fear not. Over the ashes oi desolated homes, and tne wreck and ruiu spread before them, rebels do not tamely lick the hand that strikes, but driven back, exiled fr.en the scenes of happy days, tl ev cherish their sufferings, their humiliations, their wrongs, and labor for revenge with all the energies and ! powers of body and mind given them by their ; Creator. Have we not had enough of this I barbarous sort of warfare ; do we err, are we j wrong in praying for peace ? An Irishman going to intxkct saw a farmer with an owl, "Say Mister, what will yuu take for tkat big-eyed turkey I "Tia an owl," re plied the astonished farmer. "Divil the hit do I care whether it is owld 01- young." u Vou had better ask for manners than for money," said a finely-dressed gentleman to a beg gar boy who had asked for alms. "I asked for what I thought you had tie moft of," was tie boy's reply. ■" 1 " 'v; 1 - Jt | Hates of ! 009 sqare, three weeks ex lea*. ~, . . *1 SO One Square, earfe additional insertion less than three rueutb* 3# '3 ioxthj. # Monf M. 1 x**a One square- . . $3 SO $4 70 $8 00 Yo"1 ■quare* 650 #OO 12 00 t IS 00 80 00 35 00 One C01u0.,, . .-i ,i 00 15 00- 05 OC AdminitraU^'k, l^£Jl#C(ltol . s notices sa.so, Au- Jitors lietiwi #1.% ifunder 10 lines. $2.00 it a?, o !.* S l uar '* o4 ' 4%> '*than 20 line*.

Davis' organ, recommends this Course, rfntl it is approved % six rebel Gover nors, who lately met in council, and by a sev enth, in a letter on the subject. Tho Scutli contains 3,000,000 of slaves, of whom one : fifth or one-sixth are fit to bear arms. This I measure would secure them 500,000 soldiers. Abolitionists surely cannot deny that ue ! grues will fight, and the rebels are beginning to agree with them. But will they fight for ! their masters? History proves that slaves have always done u, even without being liber ated ; but if Ireed and row-aided with land, us the rebels propose, they " ill undoubtedly de fend the soil of their nativity and houac-s. The mustering of slaves into the rebel armies will not only dispel another Abolition delusion, but expose tha folly of employing negroes oti our side, when the rebels have at least live lime# toe number at their command. j Isut will the rebel masters. consent to sarri ' lico bo much prupatty ? Of course theyviii; | lor under Lincoln's manifesto "to whom it may concern," they are bound to lose their I slaves if they return to the Union, and under the policy of the Abolition Congress the re mainder of their property will he confiscated. It is (heir interest to sacrifice part of their property to save the rest, auu as their passions suggest the same course, they will doubtless adopt it.
