[Cor the Olutoe.]
There is a rest beyond the grave
Fur weary souls that fear the Lnrd;
And those who wish their souls to save,
Must seek the way in his good word.
Read the consecrated scriptures,
And you will find extreme raptures.
Many children have gone away
To that bright world of holy rest ;
Thousands are called away each day,
To lean upon their Saviour's breast ;
Many Christians have gono before,
That now the Father, God, adore.
That day is fast a drawing near,
Wherein we all must lenve this place,
And light before our Gud appear,
Where we can view his shining face.
I lung to lay this aching breast
Beneath the sod; in Heaven to rest.
How wearisome it is to live
In tltio conceited world of sin ;
But in Heaven we can better lire,
Where sorrow ne'er can enter hi
0, what a happy thing 'twill be,
All in that sweet eternity !
Around the throne of God on high,
We'll all unite in one sweet song;
In that bright world we'll never die,
Or ever do a thing that's wrong;
Lint we shall be forever blest,
And be at homevin sacred rest.
COA INO NT, 1341.
Nothing, says the Philadelphia Led
ger, shows more strongly the character
of the two governments which now
control the loyal and disloyal States,
than the recent laws passed fin• re
plenishing the ranks of the respective
armies. With all the Northern admi•
ration of Jeff. Davis and his '° confed
eracy," and the denunciation of the
despotism at Washington,". it must
be admitted by fair and unpartisan
minds that a contrast of thelegislation
under the two governmenti, will show
very little regard for the rights of the
people in the Southern "confederacy,"
and in our own government, as much
scrupulous consideration for the citi
zens as the exigencies of the war will
admit. The Southern law is nothing
but relentless conscription, and in its
most aggravate and despotic form. It
includes all white male persons between
the ages of 1S and 55, who are required
to enrol themselves, under penalty of
being treated as deserters. The en
rolment act of Congress includes only
male persons between 20 and 45, and I
exempts persons physically and men
tally unfit, the only sons of depend
ent widows, and the only sons of aged
or infirm parents, depending for sup
port upon their children. The parents
may select out of several - drafted sons
which shall be exempt. The father
of motherless children, the only broth
er of orphan children under twelve
years arc exempt, and two' sons out of
I any family having a father and son
already in the army. The rebels ex
empt no white man from military 4-
ty•except such as own twenty slaves,
making a distinction in favor of prop
erty. Their conscription law exempts
all the slaves owned by the planters.
It continues in service for three years
longer all who had been previously
enlisted or volunteered, and whose
term of service would have expired
within the year. It allows no bounty
and has no fixed price for substitutes,
so that instead of 5300, as our law fix
es, a ,substituto costs anything the ne
cessities of the person drafted may
oblige him to offer, even as high as
51500, as the advertisements in the
Southern papers show has boon paid.
So little is States rights reorded in
the Davis oligarchy, that if any Gov
ernor does not enrol the militia, con
federate officers aro empowered to
make the enrolment under such regu
lations as the President may prescribe.
Davis is determined to have his army
filled, and ho does not care how se
verely it bears upon the poor white
men of the South, who, with him, are
of no account computed with the safe
ty and security of the negroes.

“Naught .% hot, oll's spent,
151icro our desire to got without COntotit.”
If we do not always confine our at
tention to the dark side of the picture,
we will find that this world is not, so
miserable a place as it is sometimes
asserted to be, although bad enough
at present. In spite of all that has
been said to the contrary by those
melancholy 'idlers who expect that
happiness will come to them without
the least effort on their part to obtain
it, there is no doubt that with proper
care, man can render his lot in life
quite comfortable. It is true that
while seeking some - desirable object or
end, we often, in our headlong pursuit,
dash against the thorns of disappoint
ment, and then with Shakspeare an
grily exclaim: "0, how full of briers is
this day-working world !" Isiit this
only shows in us an ill-balanced tem
perament, and is no refutation of our
assertion that wo can make our lot in
life quite comfortable, if we cultivate a
proper tone of mind. And it is some
what astonishing that,-notwithstand
ing the many comforts and blessings
which each one enjoys, there should be
found so little evidence of contentment
among the different classes of society.
No matter what may be each one's
success in life, there is still found some
trivial cause to complain. One man
is not satisfied with his clear profits
for the past year, although it requires
the use of the word " thousands " to i
denominate them. Another thinks he
might, by more prudent management,
have succeeded a 'little better' in that
flour speculation, and therefore he has
sufficient cause for discontent; while a
third almosts fret: to death because
he did not ask more for his fitrm, al
though he has received nearly double
the cost of it, for he is sure that the
wealthy purchaser would have readily
given a higher pace,: and so on with
men of all kinds of business. In many
cases they succeed beyond their ex
psotations; they have
they aimed at ; competence only was
their wish at first, but they want more
—"their desire is yet without content:"
and although they cannot honestly
say "all's spent," yet, as Ihr as regards
genuine contentment, they can truly
exclaim, "naught's had." Now it does
seem really foolish for a man to be
dissatisfied even after he has obtitined
that for which he sought, and yet we
find that at least nine out of ten pass
their lives in discontent and uueasi-
MEI
Why is it that so fbw have learned
the secret of comparative but genuine.
happiness? Let a person be placed
in any condition in life, yet if content
ed, he may be happy. It is nbt wealth,
or honor, or conveniences, which ne
cessarily bring happiness, for that is a
something altogether disconnected
from external circumstances, and must
proceed, if at all, from that harmoni
ous arrangement within each one's
breast, which brings all outward cir
cumstances into agreement with'it.—
Hence the true philosopher finds sat
isfaction and enjoyment in any situa
tion, and will extract the honey of
happiness even from the thistles of
poverty. Who then that lays claim
to a sound judgment would not prefer
above riches and honors per se, that
tranquility of .mitt and unruffled
calmness of temper which proceed only
from contentment. Even the kind of
satisfaction which Diogenes experi
enced in his unfurnished tub, is more
to be desired than that dubious felicity
which the sons of fortune seek but
never find free from private grief or
secret discontent. Let each ono then,
who wishes to enjoy as much happiness
as can reasonably be expected to fall
to tho lot of man in this 'day-working
world,' learn how to be resigned to his
situation in life, and cultivate the vir
tue of cheerful, and habitual content
ment. Then will the storms of life
pass by without leaving in their train,
misery, the stings of poverty, or the
wretchedness of Unjust persecution,
for each one being perfectly contented
in any condition, the genuine element
of happiness will remain untouched
even by the cold winds of adversity,
which can effect only man's outward
tabernacle, while the, fountain within
still flows, pure and undisturbed.
A GOOD MAN'S Wisu.—l freely con
fess to you that would wish, when I
am laid down in my grave, to have
some one in his manhood stand over

young; no ono knew it, but ho aided
me in the time of need : I owe what I

-PERSEVERE.-
Record of Gov. Simon Snyder.
The then Governor of Pennsylva
nia (the time we speals of was during
the last war with Great Britain,) found,
as Jackson did at New Orleans, that
division of sentiment, conflicting coun
bels, and treachery among professed
friends of the Union, was injuring our
cause and lending "aid and comfort
to the enemy." Then, as now, the
National Administration was abused,
and misrepresented, and the President
personally villified. Then, as now, la
bored attempts were made to divide
public sentiment on the important top
ic of vigorously prosecuting the war.
And then, as now, a party in the coun
try was Lustily bawling for peace.
With this state of affairs then exist
ing, the Governor, on the 20th of Do•
comber, 1811 delivered his " Inaugu
ral Address'to the Senate and House
of Representatives at Harrisburg, and
from it we make the following ex
tracts :
" Having by message communicat
ed to the Legislature the state of the
Commonwealth, and suggested such
measures as have appeared to me like
ly to proznote the general Weal, I have
now no special recomMendation to of
fer to your consideration us legisla
tors; yet such are my impressions and
anxieties, that I shotild feel I had but
half discharged the obligation of duty,
were I to return to this assembly with
out endeavorinw to impress upon all
its members, and would to God, upon
all their constituents, the sacred,- and,
at this time, indispensable necessity of
such an union of sentiment, as shall se
cure an union of action, against our coin
mOn enemy.
• " Tile, blood of our brave troops has
been shed in vain; vain are the laurels
they have won, and the praises they
have received, if the public A roice be
rent in twain by discord, and the public
arm be palsied byfeetion ; in vain has
our flag, resplendent with many vic
tories, been proudly displayed in eve
ry clime, and its victorious defenders
been hailed as the bravest of the brave,
if their countrymen will not emulate
their virtues, and unite head, hand and
heart against the common foe. When
the independence an4 ; integrity of our
country are at stake; American
,-wilt-withheld his utmost efforts to re
deem them ? the soil which
gave us birth and covers the 'bones of
our fathers is trodden by the feet of
hostile men, who threaten to destroy
and lay waste our homes and temples',
of worship, shall we hesitate to march
to meet them because we may not have
approved of the declaration of war, or be
cause we may not approve of the manner
in which it has been conducted,or, because
we do not approve the men who are con
stitutionally in authority f MOST GER-
I TAINIAnsZOT ; such reasoning, however
I satisfactory to the individual it may
influence, would have no weight with
Ithe community, and would be but a fee
ble apology for abandoning the nation in
time of peril and danger. Let us go
I forth united, and who shall stand be
fore our embattled multitude. When
we have expelled the proud invaders,
and conquered an honorable peace,
then let us settle our political differen
ces, exact rigid accounts from those in
authority, and in the usual constitu
tional regular manner let the highest
of our public functionaries be Arraign
ed at the bar of public opinion, and if
any be found dishonest or incapable,
let them be set aside, and men more
worthy be appointed to fill their sta
tions. But let us not, 'beseech you, in
dulge party feelings at the expense of
principle, nor engage in party animosity
and fan a flame in which the vital inter
ests of our country 7nay he consumed.—
Upon you, my friends and fellow citi
zens, much depends; your conduct
and example will, as it ought, have
much influence with your constituents,
will not be viewed with indifference
by other States or even by the enemy.
If I have urged this subject with more
words, warmth or earnestness than
you deemed necessary, impute it to
the deep conviction I have of the
baleful effects of every measure which rep
resents us to the enemy as a divided peo
ple."
Reader! the Governor who uttered
these sentiments was SIMON SNIDER,
to this day, professedly revered,' as ono
of the apostles of the democracy.—
Compare his doctrine with the utter
ances of tho so-called democracy, now
under the lead of Vallandighatn, and
ask yourself which is the pure and
which the bogus article. Were this
old patriot now to arise from the
dead, and promulgate such doctrines,
he would be denounced as a " supple
tool of the President,' as are Holt mitt
Butler, and Andrew Johnson, and oth
er truo democrats of the present day,
who, profiting by lileo counsels, aro
now pursuing the course ho then urg
ed upon the representatives of the peo
ple.
Ponder well the counsels of " honest
Old Simon Snyder," we pray you, and
shun the teachings of the modern so
called "democratic" leaders, who are
trying to ensnare you into the very
paths ho so much reprehended. In
the glorious language of the fervid old
patriot, " when the independence and in
tegrity of our country are at stake, what
American will withhold his utmost efforts
to redeem them 7"

A Cry from Richmond.
One of the most bitter of the Rich
mond rebel journals has been the IVlrig,
although before the rebellion it was a
strong Union paper. After the seces
sion of Virginia it went into now hands,
and lilts ever since been unrelenting in
its enmity to the North and to the
Government at Washington. But its
editors are becoming disheartened,
which is not surprising in view of the
fact that they have to confess that a
dollar in gold is worth $6 to $6,50 in
Confederate money. An article in the
Whig of the 18th inst., is devoted to
the " painful history" of the campaigns
in Kentucky and Tennessee. The wri
ter then proceeds as follows:
" If we cross the Mississippi and in
quire the-result of our efforts in Ar•
kansas and Missouri, the record is too
humiliating to be recorded at length.
No man cares to hear 1409 story of the
Confederate causertftdforthe fall of Mc-
Culloch and the joining of Price's for
ces to those of liesuregard. The
chronicle is not more sad than it is
shameful. It may be summed up in
the disheartening announcement made
in our latest exchanges, that the ar
mies of Holmes and Hindman have
dwindled down from 85,000 to a mere
brigade ! In Texas and in the Indian
fr er :!!,, e y the story is much the same
—large armies raised and nothing ac
complished. Concerning Arizona and
New Mexico we have ceased to have
anything whatever. Perhaps they
are no longer considered a part of the
Confederacy.
" When the fortunes of war have
been so uniformly adverse, it is not
surprising that a people, who see in
its prolongation, not subjugation, but
the further ravaging of their fields, the
loss of their slaves, and the burning of
their houses should desire its cessation
at the earliest moment, and, perhais, be
willing to make concessions, which oth
ers, more fortunate, would reject."
This is the saddest plaint we have
heard from any influential source at
the South. It is the first confession,
too, that there is a class that desires
the cessation of the war, and "would
be willing to make Concessions. Let
the Union armies and fleets push on
and give as two or three great victo
ries,apd the party wishing-tho-war-to
cease and to make concessions will be
greatly increased.
Rebel Inhumanity in Louisiana.
Terrible Condition of the Poor in the
Confederacy
The New Orleans Era, of the 13th
instant, publi.Thes a narrative of rebel
barbarity in the parish of St. Tamma
ny, Louisiana, which more than con
firms all previous statements of the
suffering among the people of the south
and the tyranny of the confederate
rule. The Ern derived its information
from a refugee, who, with his wife and
two children, one of whom he carried
in his arms, by long and weary march
es, succeed in reaching Pearl river, and
hence escaped by a canoe to the sea
coast, and so reached New Orleans.—
We quote
The way the People live
"The people of St. Tammany have
been living from hand to mouth for
about a year. The Conscription law
has driven all the males to seek refuge
in the woods, while their poor women
and children aro left at home, on the
very verge of starvation. Rebel offi
cers scour the country continually with
bloodhounds, enter houses without cer
emony, search every nook and corner•,
and if the terrified women protest
against their rudeness they are kicked
out of their own houses and coarsely
assailed and cursed by, these brutal
minions of Jeff. Davis.
" Th% people subsist entirely on
cracked corn, which is parched and
eaten dry for bread, and soaked in hot
water for coffee. Occasionally they
get hold of a little fresh meat; but as
there is not a particle of salt to be had
short of a dollar a spoonful, this meat
cannot be kept, and is very unpalata
ble without salt.
Refusing Confederate Money.
"In this stronghold of the Confed
eracy the notes issued by that so-called
Government aro not current, except
as a medium for the rich men to pay
their debts to the poor. The latter
cannot use this money for anything.—
One dealer in all sorts of little notions
refused to give five cents' worth of to.
bacco for a ten dollar bill;saying the
whole bill was not worth five cents.—
The whole country is bare of salt, su
gar, molasses, flour, butter, vegetables
—in fact everything except cracked
corn.
~ Burnt Beef."
There being no salt, the roving bands
of guerillas and other armed parties,
whose chief business seems to be to
move about from place to place in
search of conscripts and chickens, aro
compelled to resort to burning beef to
cure it. This is done in this way : The
fresh meat is cut into thin slices and
placed on hot coals, where it remains
until'it is quite burnt. IL is then pack
ed in knapsacks and carried with them
on their marches. When the stock is
exhausted they levy on another ani
mal, wherever one is to be found.—
This food, with corn coarsely ground
and unsifted, is said to be what - the
rebel soldiers subsist on.
Theism:altos of Volunteers and Conscripts.

together. They are frequently rudely
driven away without assistance, being
told that it is wrong to encourage beg
bing. For a few months a sort of
ounty was paid these unfortunate
people, but that has been discontinued,
and now they are left entirely desti
tute.
Destitute of Clothing
"The momon and children aro al
most without clothes. Cotton catAs
cannot be had at any price. -- While
the women had these they made ; cot
ton yarn, which they spun into coarse
cloth, which answered very well.—
That source of supply, like almost ev
erything else has been cut off. These
poor, hungry, half-clothed women and
children, having been deprived of their
natural protectors by the inexorable
conseiption law, now wander about
from place to place, subject to all the
jeers and insults of the rich, who are
knoWn to entertain great contempt
for t poor white 'trash.'
The New Conscription Law.
Sow it will be Enforced.
The appointment of provost mar
shals throughout the United States to
carry out the enrollment bill will' be
made as rapidly as possible. There
will be one for every Congressional
district, and when the district is very
large two or three will bo appointed,
as the case may require. In addition
for each district, there will also be one
civilian and one surgeon, to be paid as
assistant surgeon of cavalry, except
the rations, etc., leaving about, $ll3
per month. This will constitute 'the
enrolling board, whose duty it is to
divide each district ;.;to two subdivi
sions, andrto appoint for each an en
rolling officor, whose special duty it
will be to make the enrollment.
Immediat . ely after his appointment,
the enrolling officer of each sub•district
is to proceed to make the enrollment
in such manner that each class shall
be enrolled separately, and the age of
the person enrolled is to bo set down
on the list as it will be on the' first day
of July Succeeding the date of the en-•
rollment. That if any person is
not twenty, but will be on the first of
July next, he is to •be placed on the
list ; or if any married man is not thir
ty-five now, but will be on the first day
of July next, he is not to go in the first
class, but in the second class; or if any
person liable to duty is not forty-five
years of age,but will be on the first day
of TtilTicre72 - a;"11 - 6 iy_Dot to be placed on
the list at all.
All persons thus enrolled are to, be
subject to military duty fur two Years
from the first day of July after the en
rollment, and il' called into the service
shall continue during the rebc!lion, but
not to eNceed 'three years. But the
persons of the second class shall not, in
any district, be called into the service
of the United States until those of the
first class 'shall have been called.—
Whenevee die President shall make a
requisition, he is authorized to assign
to each district the number of mon to
be furnished, and then the enrolling
board shall make a draft of the requir
ed number, and fitity per cent addition
al, and shall make a complete roll in
the order in which the namesaro drawn.
The - drafted men are to stand on the
same footing with the three years
volunteers, in respect to advance pay
and bounties as now provided by law;
and the President in assigni.ng,the re
quired number to each district, is au
thorized to make allOwance in respect
to the numbers already furnished by
such district during tho war.
After the draft is made, each person
whose name is drawn is to be notified
in writing within teu diva, and he is
to repair to a designated place of ren
dezvous; but before the day of-assem
bling he may furnish a substitute, or
he may pay to such person as the Sec
retary of War shall select, a sum of
money in lieu of a substitute, which
sum is to be made uniform by a gene
ral order, and is not -to
,exceed three
hundred dollars, Every person failing
to report iii person, or by procuring a
substitute : or by 'paying the stipulated
sum, is to be deemed a deserteb.
Many persons. aro still of the opinion
that the conseription act, as passed by
the last Congress,'is the same as that
enforced by the 'rebels. This is not so,
as there is a wide difference. The reb
el act takes all persons between cer
tain ages, leaving none behind, while
our bill merely takes the required
out of the whole number enrolled.
Thus there might be in one district 10,-
000 persons between tho ages of twen
ty and thirty-five enrolled asliable to
military duty, and the quota required
might be only two or three thousand,
which would still leave the majority
at home. The rebels, on the contrary,
take all they can lay hands upon,
whether old or
,young. As Pennsyl
vania has already furnished for the
war more troops than any other State,
and us some attention is now being
paid to coloredtilmlistments for which
it is stated the Gbvernor will give clue
credit, there is yet hope that, with
proper exertions, our State may escape
the draft, if a call for More men is is
sued.
ONE HAPPY HEART. Have f you
made one happy heart to-day ? En
vied privilege! How calmly you can
sock your pillow !—how sweetly sloop!
In all this world there is nothing so
;moot as giving comfort •to the dis.
tressed, as getting a sun-ray into ;%
gloomy heart.
Do not anxiously expect what is not
yet' come ; do not vainly regrct.what
is already past.
