Since, oar last issue we hare had but little War

that time was eo high in eo;sequence of the Con
federate raid into Maryland has completely sub

have left, taking with them government stores
and otherproperty, to the amount of four or five
millioma of dollars. "'The gorernment".has got

they are inadequate to the end for vvfiich

proves that the government which has

Taxes on Everything
We have -.heretofore printed the Internal
Tax Bill, passed near the close of the re
cent session of Congress, by which enor
mous taxes are levied on every domestic ar
ticle of consumption and use—taxes more
-general, searching and onerous than the tax
ridden people of Great Britain have over
know. We now print, on the outside of this
sheet, the Tariff Bill, also passed near the
close the rodent session, by which every
' article of foreign importation is taxed to the
last extremity it will bear, and may such
articles prohibititrily taxed for the especial
benefit of Neer England and the cost 6f the
West. Indeed, both the Tax and Tariff
Bills are framed throughout with the most
tender regard for New England and the
moat carelese unconcern for the manner in
which they effected the 'West. Both Bills
are the legitirrve and necessary conse
quence of the triumph of abolitionism in the
election of Mr. Lincoln, and hard us is their
I infliction, they will go but a tittle way to
! wards paying the cost of the war needlessly
precipitated three years ago, and since con
ducted with a wastefulness as prddigal as
its political pplieies have become wicked

this Tariff Bill aro, not 'Temporary. They
are permanent. They will Mallet ourselves,
our children, and our children's ehildre

tions to come. And all this the fruit of
abolitionism. Ark this flowing from the

More than three - years afot„ • Abraham
Lincoln and Lis friend, longed it secession
and declared that the insurrection at the
South mionld be suppiessed in s .iff,y days or
at leastlvi - itinety. They declared tharscy
enty-flie thousand men could march, unop
posed, from Washington through Virginia
and the,Carolinas to New Orleans. It was
only a play spell for,young men to enlist - ,
draw big pay and have a good time general
ly for two or three montlis. It could not
possibly last longer. What a delusion—
what madness? Hundreds of thousands
until they reached millions, f ought
rushed to
the ensonguinary conflict, „fought bravely
and nobly, and still the Southern people
present a bold defiant froM, and secession
proves tobe anything but a - laughing mat
ter. Hundreds of thousands of our brave
countrymen have fallen upon the battle
field. Other hundreds of thousands who
threw themhelves into the breach of this
blood-thirsty civilnar have returned Some,
m,angled and crippled, or lie languishing
in hospitals or linger Out a few years longer'
of life amid the anguish of painful wounds.
These are the fruits of this three years'
strife of brother agatier - blother, friend
a aihst friend, count
trymen;.eection against notion, and - thecnd
is . not yet. - •
The fourth year of this hellish butchery
has considerably advanced,•and after all the
cry of "glorious victory" and "glorious
news" that has so often rang overall° North
the termination seems as far dietant as ever.
Our armies may march and countermarch ;
they may fight in the hot, sultry sun by
day and by night, but the end is not yet.—
Richmond and Atalanta may fall, and a
hundred thousand more men, on bolt sides
maylall In the present. month as there has
in, the last two—but that, even will not be
the end of a people exasperated by every
means in the power of a mad fanatieoet of
heartless deniagogues who hate usurped the
government of our fathers and transformed
our free government into the most ty,

Features of the New Conscription Bill
At first the House of Representatives re
fused 59 repeal the $3OO commutation clause
but MI% Lincoln and his Cabinent, by the
exertion of all their power, patronage, and
money succeeded in breaking down the op
position to it. The Massachusetts delega
tion hung out the longest of all, and were
propitiated finally by that clause in the bill
Which allow& any State "to send recruiting
agents into id of the Slates declared to be
in rebellion, except lioulitiana, Arkansas
and Tennessee." By this means, doubt
less, Massachusetts hopes to seize negroes
enoutlht to fill up her. quota. The Presi
dent is authorized by this act to citll for
any number of men he sees fit, arid in case
they are not forthcoming in fifty days there
after, to draft. Volunteers are to recoive
$lOO bounty, if for one year's service, $2OO
for two years' service, and $3OO for three
years service, rme-thirti of which is to Be
paid when lie is mustered, ono third at the
expiration of one half his term of service,
and the balance at the expiration of the
same, or in case of death, to his widow,
children or mother, provided the latter is a
widow. •
The reasons for changes in the Conscrip
tion'Act are obvious. Under the expedient
which was adopted, of towns, cities, and
counties voting WO for the relief of the
poor, it prevented theoi from being forted
into the army agalnot their wills. Besides,
it actually left the remedy in the hands of
the poorer classes, for they could vote the
tax ()nib° town in spite of the remonstran
ces of the tax payers,' .The present law
takes this remedy away from the poor,while
at the same time it allows the rich to escape
service, by procuring'eubstitutes which the
poor cannot afford to do. Two Abolition
members, Stevens, of Penn., apt] Frank, of
N. Y. voted against it, All the rest obeyed
Mr. Lincoln, and atter aome hesitation said
"aye."
—A cotemporary says that " no nation
ever went to war to settle a matter of such
importance as'; he object for which we are
now fighting." Almost all wars have been
about matters of little or no real interest to
the masses of the poor people. The most
bloody war of England was about the color
of a rose or the name of a king. What real
difference to the people of England wheth
er a YOrk or Lancaster was their king ?
What was it to the people of Poland wheth
er their kings name was Conti, Augustus or
Stanieraffs 1 - What to the people of Spain
whether their King's name was Charles or
Phillip? 'Think of the hundreds of thous
ands of poor deluded people whq, were
slaughtered in settling these questions, in
which the people had no real interest. We
have already slaughtered or maimed over a
milliorrof men in thikpre'senf pia; in try
ing to revere the doings of Almighty God
and.make a white man of a negro. We are
slaughtering men as though they were brute
beasts. We boast of being an enlightened
akis. If we are, what would a barba#bns
age be? An old poet, *ho sung hisatraine
200 years ago, sung for us as well as for his
own time;
'Birds food on birds, beasts on earb other prey]
But sarage man does only betray ;
Pressed by nebessity, they bent for food,
Man undoes wan to do himself no good."
Mr. Lincoln has appointed the first
Thursday of August next, as a day of humli
ation and prayer by the people °Pile-United
States. Among other-031pr he calls j upon
them "to confess and repeacof their mani
fold sins." If he includes his twn office

" It would be - impossible to find another

contractors, plunders and all the vast Lor,le
of paid pimps and lict-spitlos who fatten
and feed upon the treasure of the Nation
are trying to fasten Lincoln upon the coun
try for another term of four yenrs. The
people, however, who love liberty and have
to pay the money thus squanderd by these
unprineirtle4 bloodsuckers, prefer a wise

Oovenment, and will make their wishes
known through the ballot box ensuing Pres
idential election. '
An intoxicated soldeir a few days since
met a negro on the street in Des Moine and
ordered him to halt. The negro paid no at
tention to the interruption but was passing
on when the soldier drew A revolver
and fired killing the negro almost instantly.
Of course such an unjustifiable outtage
should be promptly punished, but the State
Rrgiater and kindred reputilican papers are
in a great quandry over the matter. As loy
al mon they don't seem to have a very clear
conception of what is their duty in the pre
mises. They are very much in the position
of their .great prototype between•the two
stacks of hay.
