Of our delinquent subscribers for a couple of
weeks more, in the hope that within that time
they will pay iu whdlpor in part what, is hon
estly our due. A number have ah*ea J v paid,
and many others are probably waiting an op
portunity to do so. We hope that alb who
wish to continue the Volunteer will see the
mecesjity of complying with our terms, at
least so long as ive are compelled to pay the
present-enormous price- for paper, and .that
those who da not cure about it, will at least
have the honesty to pay what they owe, be
fore we part from them.
lx Towx.— Our townsman, Maj. John
Bee, of the 130th Keg. Pa*. "Vols., arrived in
our town On Monday. The M ajor looks well,
and is in the enjoyment of excellent health.
Partridges.— The late snow storm -proved
mote tatnlto these birds than did the weapons
of our sportsman during the .shooting season.
Farmers living in the vicinity of this town
inform us that hundreds of them were buried
in the snow on Wednesday and perished.
■ The Negro Bin Passed tub House. —
The bill introduced by old Tiiad. Stevens,
authorizing the President to enlist, arm and
equip 200,000 negroes as soldiers in the army
fur five years, passed the House on Monday
—yeas 83, nays 6Y. Mr. Daily voted “no.”
■Bight.
“The Age.”—ln.another column trill be
found' the prospectus for the “Age," a new
democratic paper to be issued in Philadel
phia, by A. J. Gi.osbrenner & Co. The
Democracy, of the State have long felt the
want of an able and reliable organ in Phila
delphia, and wo aro glad to learn that this
want will no longer exist. The gentlemen
connected with the new paper have the abil
ity and*ho pecuniary means to publish one
of tho best journals in our country, and we
hope to see tho enterprise moot their most
sanguine expectations. Specimen copies can
, bo seen at this office.
Important to School Directors.— Tho at
tention-of school directors in this town and
county is invited to the following section of
the common school law passed last winter, in
relation to their duties:
. “ That it shall be the duty of the hoard of
directors in each school district to publish an
annual statement of tire amount of money
received and expended and the amount dde
from collectors, and setting-forth till the finan
cial operations of the district in not less than
ten written or printed hand bills, to ho put
-up in tho most public-places in the district.”
The notice should be signed by-the presi
dent of the school board and attested by the
secretary. It is the custom in some districts
to publish the statement in the county pa
pere, whioh-answors the same purpose.
The ANgpusow Cavalry. —As the facts
concerning the mutiny in the Anderson Cav
alry regiment come out, says the Philadelphia
'Bulletin, we find more and more cause to-oon-
Uemn those who refused to obey orders when
the army was marching on the enemy. Their
most severe condemnation, however, is the in
direct one contained in the conduct of the
brave throe hundred of their comrades who
so nobly went'into the conflict, and sustained
their own honor and that of their State in
the face of overwhelming odds. Every drop
of tho blood of Rosengarten, AVard, Chase,
awl the other heroes, who tell in those hard
fought fields cries aloud against the treachery
or cowardice of those who remained behind.
By command of Gen. Rosecrans, the muti
neers of the regiment have boon arrested and
put in jail at Nashville. Neither military law
nor common-eense can recognize ns valid any
excuse for disobedience ot orders, especially
in the face of the enemy. If any of the An
derson men protend that on being mustered
into the service of the United Stales as-cotm
■ men soldiers, they wSre to be exempt from
any of the duties of common soldiers, by rea
son of some fancied superiority ofhirth orsocial
position, they must be taught to drop all such
notions, and the best way to tench them this
is to punish them. An example must ho made
of these mutineers, for if their crime is to go
unpunished, there will bo encouragement to
n mutinous spirit throughout the whole army.
aXDTIIER (IlilßtGE. -
In our paper to-day will bo found nn
account of the arrest of Mr. Soileau, editor
of tbo Philadelphia Keen in;/ Journal. This
is another outrage by a corrupt, venal and in
famous administration—another act of tyran
hy by Rail Splitter I, in this year of ouf
Lord 1863. The excuse given for arresting
Mr. B. was because he, in his editorial 'col
umns, compared Jeff Davis’ annual message
with “ old Abe’s” Message to Congress,
and arrived at the conclusion that -Jeff’s
contained better grammar and more sensible
language than old Abe’s contained. For ex
pressing this opinion, ho was arrested.at his
house at the hour of mid-night, and . sent
to prison by order of that creature of little
soiil, Lincoln’s Secretary of War. After
eonfining’him in a dirty fort for three days,
Mr. Boile.il* was released and permitted to
go home.
■ • How long will these outrages ho submitted
to? How long will an indulgent people per
mit a few ignorant and petty tyrants to
gratify their partisan malice hy committing
nets that would ho considered disgraceful in
u despotism ? No wonder the President is in
constant dread of personal danger—no wou
er ho requiresm regiment of mounted men to
act as his body guard as often ns he leaves
the White House. . lie knows and,feels that
he has committed outrages that are almost
beyond endurance ; outrages Well calculated
to create a. feeling of vengeance. Let not
these petty tyrants—these men cf little mind
nnd .no soul—go. too far or they may spun
find a storm about their ears that they little
expected.
Elect Lincoln,
Elect Lincoln, and we shall have good
times.- Eket Lincoln; and there shall be
plenty of work and high wages. Elect Un
coln, and the, expenses of government will be
reduced; Elect Lincoln, and if the South se
cede we will send a few regiments of wido
avrakos down there land wipe them out in
thirty days. Elect Lincoln, and thero shall
be plenty of money. Elect Lincoln and we
will have,honesty and rdffonhi Elect Lincoln,
and wo will bring the government back
to the -policy of the fathers. Lincoln was
elected, and wo have bloody times. Lincoln
was elected, and aye have plenty of work
such as wading in blood to the knees, digging
graves for our young men and taking care of
the maimed, Wounded, widows and orphans.
The pay, however, is not so good, when-sold
iers arc drafted and forced to work for 13
per month in . paper '-money which Is
worth only half its face. Lincoln was elect
ed and. the expense' of the government is
a hundred times greater. Lincoln was eldot
ed, the South seceded, and instead of sending
down wide-awakes, they draft from Pennsyl
vania and lot the abolition wide-awakes of
Massachusetts go free. Lincoln is elected,
and we have paper and rags for a currency
and billions of debt; Lincoln is elected; and
instead of economy and reform we have had
stealing, and wholesale plunder, unheard of
in anyage of the world. Lincoln, is elected,
and instead of coming to any policy of our
fathers, we are-coming to taxation, national
bankruptcy and unmistakable ruin.
Arrest. —A. D. B.uloau, Esq., proprietor
of tho Philadelphia .Bcening Journal, was.ar
resled on Wednesday last, midnight, by the*
Provost Marshal, and carried beyond the Ju
risdiction of tho state—where, it is not known,
the paper stopped and the office placed in
charge of a guard. The arrest was made by
authority of a-'telegraph despatch from Wash
ington.
It produced quite a sensation,.and some of
the more timid" feared that violence might
grow out of the transaction. .
The cause of the arrest is not known, hut
'itds surmised that the remarks of the Journal
upon the trial and suspension of Gen. Fitz
John Porter, gave great offence. ■
On the opening of the Court, on Thursday
morning. Judge Ludlow sent for the Grand
Jury, and delivered to them a forcible charge,
requiring them to suspend all other matters
before them, and proceed immediately to an.
investigation of the facts of the case ; and the
District Attorney was instructed to procure
the attendance of Gen. Montgomery and the
Provost Marshal.
Negro Divorces at Port Kot.il. —We
learn that Gen. Saxton, our military com
mander at Port Royal, S. C., has given au
thority to the Rev. Mr. French, to grant di
vorces to-the negro contrabands'under his
spiritual charge in that Department. From
this it would appear that with all the bless
ings of emancipation, and the Gospel, and
spolling;books, and plenty to eat and little to
do, the government negroes at Port Royal
still tall short of Greeley’s free negro millen
nium. It is only another Fourieritey?iweo.
Forney On The Jews.—Forney, in his
Washington Chronicle, fully justifies General
Grant's order, excluding the Jews “as a
class” from his lines. He says, “the Jews
have been always notorions l 'for their fondness
for illegitimate trading, or, at least, unusual
modes .of making money,” and supposes that
this fact has been the cause of depriving them
“of admission in to political or commercial
circles.” No one could have more unusual
modes of making money than abolition offi
cials.
Arrests at Hagerstown. —On tho 10th
ult.. sevoial citizens of Hagerstown, Md.,
were arrested ’by the military. They were
confined in the- guard-house until the next
day, when they were nil released without ex
amination except Messrs. .Rlioads aud Camp
bell, who were taken under guard to Wash
ington. “Partizan malice” not ‘‘political
necessity” led to tho arrest.
Delinquent Officers Dismissed. —The
Secretary of War recently dismissed from tho
service a large number of officers ofithe army
for various causes hut the large majority for
absence from their posts without leave. The
course of tho authorities in this respect will
tend very greatly to preserve the strength
•and efficiency of the army.

FORW OS CAHEBOS—TfI’EN MD NOW.
Our neighbor of tho timid edified its read
ers last Week, hy publishing nn article from
Forney’s Kress, apologising for Cameron's at
tempt to bribe a member of tho House to
vote for him for Senator. Wo therefore pub
lish tho following as an answer to its apolo
gy;, which wo take from the Philadelphia
evening Journal;
Forney’s Press is severe upon Mr. Boyer
of Cleitriield, in consequence of the disclosure
just made by that gentleman, in reference
to the alteihpt of Simon Cameron to bribe
him. Mr. Forney’thinks that Mr. Boyer’s
children will have cause to blush, over his
memory—that ha “regards party triumphs
of more value than personal honor, truth and
the feeling of respect that should exist be
tween man and man.”
It is strange that the admirer of John
Brown does not perceive that Cameron’s chil
dren have some cause to blush, and that Cam
eron “ regards political triumphs of more
value than personal honor,” cct. Since Mr.
Forney is, in 1803, so blind to Cameron’s
faults in this matter of bribing, or attempt
ing to bribe, members of the Legislature to
vote for him for Senator, we -are induced to
go back and learn what was his opinion in
1857, when ho seemed to understand such
things better.
We “ appeal from Philip drunk to Philip
sober;” In 1857, Forney received the nomi
nation of tho Democratic caucus for the Uni
ted States Senate, and Simon was tho candi
date of the opposition. It is well known that
Simon beat Forney, although the Dcmperats
had a majority of the legislature, and it is
well known that Forney was very indignant
in consequence. . Ho then edited the Penn
sylvanian, and the following is what ho wrote
and printed on the day after his defeat:
“ Yesterday will long bo remembered as
the most disgraceful.day in the political an
nals of Pennsylvania. 'Corruption Jtas ■'tri
umphed-: villainy has been successful, and
Cameron, whose-name is hut a synonym fir
all that is vile and infonious in politics, has
been chosen, not to represent, hut 1 6 disgrace
our noble old Commonwealth in the. United
State’s Senate for the next six years. Des
pised by every honest man of all political or
ganizations, proven over amb over again to"
ho morally and politically dishonest; false in'
turn to every party, to even/ political sentiment:
to almost every obligation that honorable .men
respect, a Pennsylvania Legislature has been
found weak enough and base enough to ex-,
alt him to a seat in tho highest political ns
semhlage of the country.. All-are familiar 1
with the many base arts- and appliances by
wliii-h this hold, bad, cunning man has for
years ministered to his ambition. Destitute
of integrity of purpose and character, neither
honest nor. capable—utterly unprincipled and
for the accomplishment,
of any good purpose for any party—he. has
long persistently enrolled himself iri the list
of .candidates for the United States Senator
ship, without possessing a single, qualifica
tion for the post, or a single claim of a proper
character, and has throughout relied entirely
upon intrigue and corruption, to foist himself
upon a body with which he is totally unfilled
to associate.'
Simon Cameron will-go to the Senate to
serve no holiest purpose, to represent no hon
est political duty. Ho will go there in quest
of plunder, ready to betray friend or fo to ob
tainhis ends. He will go there as ready to
sell his own vote and influence as he he has
been to purchase votes find influence to assist
him in'securing his’election.
*• He will, go to Washington, as all men un
dersttnd, not as the representative of. Penn
sylvania Or of any honest interest of the
State ; hot as the exponent of any party or of
any principles, hut to re cnabt upon the na
tional arena the .part .ho has played through
life —a speculating, yuscmipulouf, dishonest
jobbci—to cover himself with ihfainy—to plun
der the Public Treasury himself and to fas
ten upon it the horde of harpies who surround
him, and who have buoyed'him up in all his
political measures for the sole purpose of us
ing him as the burglar uses the crowbar with
which ha opens the shutters of the house he
would rob.
“'We rend, in old story books of trained,
bands of robbers, ri'ho’Uve-in dark and dingy
caves, or bristling jonresses, arid who sullied
forth under a chosen captain to plunder every
traveler who excited ihcir cupidity. But
civilization .has broken up, in a great meas
ure, such a system of operations; while hu
man nature remains the same. The Trea
suries of States and Nations are. now the
points of plunder aimed at, arid corrupt poli
ticians are the bandit chiefs who lead on the
refined scoundrels of the age. Of,such men
Cameron is the chief. He enjoys the bad
eminence of being universally regaded as ih'e
most corrupt politician, inthe Slate or country,
lie is the embodiment of all lhal i is in famous
in a public man. Low cunning, treachery, ve-.
naltlg and corruption are ins attributes. - It
is absolute’folly to talk of him ns a politician
of exponent of principle, in tho usual accep
tation of tho terra. Ho scorns, all. such com
siderations. .lie,-would join or betray any
and every party that ever existed, and de
nounce or advocate every principle that was
over suggested,, in -a single week or day, if ho
could promote Ills selfish ends thereby.'”

The Draft.— Can the abolition press tell
us why a draft was made in Pennsylvania
and not made in abolition Massachusetts nor
in Any other' abolition state.
The abolition States are farther behind in
their quota than Pennsylvania. AVyh should
our men be draftoddrorn their wives and chil
dren, and the abolition traitors he permitted
to stay at homo hnd clamor for MORE

outrage. AVhy is there no draft in Abolition

The Negro Soldier Bill.
in tho National Ilotiso of .Representatives,
on Friday, the negro soldier bill, introduced
by Mr.' SxEVENfI, was under discussion. We
select from tlio'dcbatc ils follows; * .
■file House resumed (the consideration of
the negro soldier bill.
■■ Mr. Wadsworth (Ky.) protested against
its ’passage.’ It was a- confession to the
world of our desperate condition, nod that
our efforts to suppress the rebellion have
failed. Unsuccessful in saving the Constitu
tion and hope of liberty on this Continent, it
was now proposed to acknowledge that'the
negro was now our only hope of salvation.
This he would not admit, lie still thought
that there was wisdom, valor and strength
enough,in thq people-to. preserve all we held
dear, and: that Almighty God, will turn aside
the troubles which now entbarfnss us.
Tho gentleman from Pcrinsylvania (Mr.
Stevens) , had explained the reason for tho
passage of this bill, which was drapvn up by
the Secretary of War himself. It was to
put'tbo negro soldier on an equality with the
white ns to military protection in the event
of being taken prisoners-; but this was not
the true reason. Its purpose was to organize
in military array the negro, proclaimed free
by the President’s proclamation, to entrench
them on the soil of the cotton States, and
nmintain them there, to exterminate or drive
off the whites of that section. Of what use
would be the proclamation of emancipation
unless followed up by arming tho negroes as
now proposed. The President having now
taken the step there was no retreat from it.
lie bad yioldo l to tho clamors of his ultra
friends. While opposing the bill generally,
he contended it is not our policy to call ne
groes into tho war ns soldiers when wo can
obtain a far better class of defenders.
Air. Wright (Penna.) said this govornmnet
and'the Union were the result of compromise.
In concession and compromise it had its
■bjrth:; the very day the Declaration went
forth to tho 'Colonics from Independence
Hall, there was compromise and conces
sion. From that period to 1850 such a poli
cy has prevailed. Tho Union was then
saved by the compromise of the groat and
ruling spirits of the land, Clay, Webster,
.Calhoun and others, . meeting together for
that purpose: Were gentlemen hero less
wise than those men? If ever there was a
time in the history of the country when con
cession.and compromise should ho exhibited
it was now. • . , 1
The ■ennetmeut-df -a measure •rqprilsh'O lo
The sentiment Of ;a large mass of people'
might produce such a state of affairs.that we
some morning might a'wake-to find we have
nogovernmonhinexistence. [A voice—“ Yes,
we will.”]
Air. Wright was willing to make any'hon
orable sacrifice,' now that the other side
of the chamber show a corresponding dispo
sition. If gentlemen here would all agree
upon a base of compromise as to the conduct
of this war, it would net last three months.
He opposed the bill because, among other
reasons, it would produce dcmorlization, and
the soldiers of tho army had said to him .that
if black men were sent to them, they will re
gard it ns a condemnation of .their conduct,
and'leave the service if they can. How far
this feeling extends, ho was not able to say.
He said the white Anglo-Saxon race was
capable of taking care of itself; but if wo
have not power tc maintain.our position, ne
groes cannot help ns out of tiro difficulty.
They , were not reliable in the military ser
vice.
He believed t]ia t :by n re construction of
the Cabinet, and tho restoration of General
APClellar. to the army, the country could he.
saved. [At this point applause 'broke Tortli
in heavy volumes from the galleries, accom
panied by stamping of fset and clapping of
bands.] ■ . ,
The Speaker, said, if such disorders were
repented, 1 . luvwuriVd order the galleries to ‘be
derived.
Sir, Wright said that M’Gllean was hot a
favorite of his. Ho hail never advocated
him hero, but he believed that no other gen
eral in the army embodies the feelings' and
sentiments of his troops; .
If you want to carry victory on your arms
you must have a commander in whom the
army, have .confidence. It was idle’ to talk
'hbout victory with a demoralized army,'
M'Clellan, he repeated, was the head of the
American Army, and should bo placed an
omamand. [The galleries again broke forth
in applause, but somewhat suppressed in
consequence, of the Speaker’s admonition,
which was now repeated,]
, Mr. Wright, resuming, said, let' the Presi
dent make a now and mixed Cabinet, repre
senting the two great parties of the country,
restore General-M’Clellan. to command, and
call for two . hundred thoumnd men, who
would rush to'his stahdared in an instant.
Addressing the Republicans, ho said : You
roust,abandon, your ultra'notions, nr v;e arc
gone. , Wo hare got to compromise. ■ Aban
don the proposition to bring negroes into the
army, or we arc lost.-
Ali - . Diven (N. Y.) did not think that Ids
bill was of such, paramount importance as.to
justify tho excitement it has produced in this
'hall. .Ho thought the President already p< s
ses od 1 lio power to employ negro soldiers.
Provisions was already made for their em
ploymet in all.conditions to which tlieir ser
vices can ho made efficient, hut he preferred
his own proposal, offered in Juno last, mak
ing provision for . their pmigra ion,' and,
in addition to their employment, making
provision for themselves and families ; their
operations to be confined to rebel localities,
and not to operate on the border States loyal
to the Union.
Mr.'Cox, While opposing the-hill, remark
ed'that its object was to produce a dissolution
of the Union ; for. gentlemen from border
States have said that it would be impossible
to restore the Union if negroes are brought
into tho field, like fiends of hell, in accordance
with tho policy which began in hate and is
followed up*hy a spirit of vengeance. A
largo portion of our army is,made up of Celtic
blood, and lip wool! tell gentlemen that they
would not fight beside negroes. The preju
dice cannot be eradicated.
As Air. Lovojoy had made some allusion to
his diminutive-size,-he was reminded of an
epitaph, which lie lately saw in a newspaper,
about tho gentleman from Illinois, as fol
lows :
Beneath this stone,good Owen'Lovojoy .lies,
Little in everything except liis size-;
What though his burly body fills this bola;-.
■, Yet through Hell's koy-holo crept his little soul.
[Groat laughter.] But ho did not believe
this of the gentlemen from Illinois.
0“'“ The Union as it was,” has outraged
the common sense of tho country long enough.
Tho\Union, ns if) was is buried in a grave
from which there is no resurrection. No
Union is now possible, except of free States.

The author of such a sentiprent is ah infa

From tho Patriot and Union.
Lincoln a Despot
Aye, wo have said the word, and, como of
it what may—incarceration or , death*—we
repent it, Lincoln is a Despot, and Stanton a
villain. The sovereignty of Pennsylvania
has boon violated—her laws outraged—ono of
Jier citizens kidnapped, carried beyond her
bonmdary and consigned, know, to for aught
we a Federal dungeon. This hasheon doneby (
orders from Washington; by the President,
through tho War Department, at a time
when the administration of the civil law of
the State, which provides for the punishment
of every crime, is unobstructed ; when peace
reigns throughout our border ; in- the ab
sence of all disorder, the law and the Consti
tution reigning supreme, and neither symptom
of revolution nor tho tioad of armed hosts in
battle array disturbs tho quiet of every day
life. It is hold, despotic attempt to crush the
freedom of the citizen and of the press—to
blot out State, sovereignty, and bring the
whole country, people and States, in subjec
tion to the Central Despotism at Washington.
Why, the very stones should cry out against
it; and those endowed by their Creator with
voices.and language who stand dumb in tho
presencoofthisgreat wrong—this criminal of
fence ngainstlawand freedom, right nndjustlce
; —afo traitors to their country and to liberty ;
unfit to breathe the free air of heaven ; unfit
to live, and still more upfit to die. The man,
the press, the civil officer of Pennsylvania
who defends or palliates, openly or secretly,
this Federal outrage, should he hooted and
hissed upon the streets, and followed wherev
er he goes, down to the grave itself, with, the
universal execrations of mankind, .
Lotus bo fairly understood. We denounce
this act of the President and his subordinates
as an outrage upon tho Constitution of the
United States, and the Constitution, the laws,,
and tho sovereignty of Pennsylvania—as An
unconstitutional, illegal, unwarrantable And
despotic assault-upon personal freedom: and.
the freedom of the press. Wo denounce itas
an act that none but a .usurper and tyrant
would commit; an net 'flint mo free people
should submit to.' We.denounce it as.an act
that every man, if attempted upon, himself,
would have a perfect right to resist, even td
the death : as an act calculated to incense
the public mind and lead to violence And

What the body of flie people may do—
what the State ■may' do—wo know .not. . For
ourselves, we shall endeavor to deserve free
dom by defending it. . Hating tyranny in
every 'form, we hate tho power that, under
any pretext, resorts to it. Educated—sworn
upon fhe altar, as Hannibal was—to hate
and curse Despotism and war against it,
true to pur education and. to our oath as he
was, we curse from our impost heart the
Despot who now tramples under foot liberty
and law alike ; we curse him as an usurper

We repeat with Patrick Henry—“ Give me
Liberty, or give me Death !” Better die—die
like men and freemen—than permit it repeti

burn our Constitution, fling our laws to the
winds, furl our Bag and hide, it in some
secret place for moths to devour, blot out
the motto* from our escutcheon, and openly
confess ourselves bondmen, than to keep up
a of State sovereignty and yet suffer the
outrage already committed to go unrebuked.
To keep lip the symbols of State sovereignty
when the sovereignty no longer exists, is a
delusion and a lie, of which wo should not be,
guilty. • . '

and owes not his condition to Lincoln,:
Early in the.morning runior obtained cur
rency that the editors of the,.Philadelphia
Evening Journal, a, Democratic afternoon pa
per, bad been arrested by order of the Gov
niont end sent to Washington. Those minors
wore not’well-defined;'inasmuch as it was;
stated that one of the parties implicated had'
been Seen at breakfast in a restaraunt,
guarded by a soldier with a loaded musket
and fixed bayonet. '
Finally, the t nth was obtained, but not
until information had been sought in vain
from Marshal Millward and the civil autho
rities. General Montgomery, provost marshal
of -Philadelphia, was alone Able to solve
the mystery. ' . , . :
A guard ofhis-soldiershadiproceeded, short
ly after midnight, to the residence of Albert D.
Boileau, publisher and editor of tho Evening.
Journal, on Franklin street, and had convoy
ed the accused to. some place of confinemen t
The order for the arrest came from tho De
partment at.Wnshington. Air. E. W.Carr,
connected, we . believe, with the business de
partment of tho paper, was also-arrested: but
was released by order of General Alontgom
ery about 11 o’clock, a. m.
During the morning other parties, interest
ed as employees of too establishment ..arid
friends of the publisher, obtained the aid df
Goo. W. Biddle and J. C.Van Dyke, as coun
sel. ■
The office was visited by the military au
thorities, who,' however, did ■ not interfere
with the issue of tho afternoon paper until
about two-thirdff of the edition had-boen issued
as usual.. About that time a military guard
of some oighteeiymen occupied the business
office of tho establishment, their arms being
stacked in the centre of the apartment, and
the men lounging on the desks and counter.
A sentinel with fixed bayonet guarded the
door, while, the entry leading from Third
street to tho editorial rooms was in charge of
a squad of policemen from the Fifth ward, un
der a sergeant. This was the state of affairs
up to a late hour last night.
It is understood; that an order from
Washington was sent by telegraph, ns soon
ns tho authorities in that city wore apprised
of the that some of the-enpios of the pa
per, with an editorial approved by George
W. Biddle and J. C. Van Dyke, had been
struck off, and that this second"order required
the immediate and positive suppression of the
paper.

Tlio following is from the proceedings jn
tho House of tho Indianna Legishvture, on
the'lSth instr
Resolved, That the law of Congress erect
ing certain counties of Virginia into a State,
called the State of “ Western Virginia,” is
an original and independent .act of revolu
tion, and involves a broach ofboth tho Con
stitutions of Virginia and the nation. Un
like the emancipation proclamation, it is not
sought to bo justified by its authors on tho
pretence of military necessity. Its passage
by Congress and approval by the Presi
dent betray, even more than any former
not of Congress or of the President had
betrayed, the deliberate purpose of the
Administration and the political majority of
Congress to sot aside the Constitution and
establish upon the common ruins of the'Un
ion and the sovereignty of the States a revo
lutionary government, monarchical and mili
tary in its character, and in which all the
great guarantees of civil liberty, recently so
recklessly assailed, will be known no more
forever.
Resolved, That it is to tho-people-we must
look for a restoration of the Union arid the
blessing of peace, and to these ends we should
direct our earnest and honest efforts, and
hence wo are in favor of the assembling of a
national convention of all the States, at Lou
isville, Kentucky, at tho earliest practical pe
riod, to so. adjust our national difficulties that
the States may Jive -together in harmony,
■each-being secured in the rights guaranteed
rcspectivfly'to all by our fathers. Resolved,
That we earnestly recommend a cessation of
hostilities for such period as may be necessa
ry to allow the people, of the North and South
to espress, through a National Convention
their wish for peace and a maintenance of
“ Tho Union as it was and. tho Constitution
as it is.” ■ ’ '

■Strange as it may seem, it is true, that
Geh. l’om Tnumb (Charles S. Stratton) is
smitten by the charms of Miss Lavinia War
ren. Ho first met her at the Park House, in
Boston, in the presence of her mother, who
rather objected to the appearance of the Gen
eral because he wore a mustache. The meet
ing happened just before the holidays, but
it'made an impression on the heart of the lit--
tip-man, which deepened when the parties
met again, a few days ago, at the St. Nicho
las Hotel, in New,York, Oflato, these tetilo
people have-met daily at the Museum, and
their acquaintanceship; which soon ripened
into friendship, has culminated in love.
. The General has already avowed his. pas
sion and proposed marriage to Miss 'Warren.
She reciprocates’ his affectionate attachment,
and modestly acknowledges that his society
is pleasant to her, and that it.gives her pain
to bo separated from him, but she is disin
clined to marry without the consent of her
■parents, and she archly romindod-the gallant
General that'her mother objected to the mus
tache. Mr. Stratton says he will out off his
mustache and his ears also, if the sacrifice be
required, to .secure the hand and heart of the
fascinating little belle. Ho has already dis
continued the habit of smoking to please her,
and a messenger was dispatched to Middle
hero’ to ask the consent of her parents. Mr.
Stratton is worth §lOO,OOO, and has promised
in the event of his marriage, which is re
garded ns pretty certain, to take his bride-tp
the courts of Europe and introduce her to the
crowned hoads-with whom ho has a personal'
acquaintance, but ho will not allow his wife
to bo exhibited-for money.
. This is a bona fide love affair, but it is not
the first instance of the kind yn .record,—
Count Borusiawaki, who died in 1837, and
who was thirty-six inches in height, married
when he was forty years of age, and became
a father.' Ho was a man of great wealth and
superior intelligence,-and lived a life of ele
gant leisure on his estate in Durham. Rich
ard Gibson and Anno Shepard, each of whom
measured three feet ten inches in height,
were married in the presence of Charles I. of
England. Waller wrote a poem on the oc
casion, ;and Sir Peter Daley painted their
portraits. Gibson attained great distinction
ns n painter. In 1710, Peter, Czar of Rus
sia, celebrated a marriage of dwarfs with
.groat parade, and all miniature men and
women within 200 miles were.commanded to
iUttend the wedding.

nounoos his high satisfaction with ° t i )oss '
brave and determined men of the Anderson

These young soldiers and their bravo com.
miinder vied with'our most veteran cavalry
in their steadiness under fire and the i.itrepl
dity of their advance on the enemy, anj
nobly sustained the honor already won bv
the 7 th Pennsylvania Cavalry' for the Keystone

feels at his loss is mingled with a soldier’!
pride, to know that ho fell like a hero
and for the eacrcd cause of nationality. Ho
trusts that Major Ward, recovering from Ids
desperate but honorable wounds, will live to
gather fresh Jnurols on many a field in
his country’s service.
The Oeueral commanding is grieved to
learn that about, seven hundred of. these
noble Guards—said to belong to families bi
good standing at home—have chosen; und;r
some pretext or other, not to follow their
companlons-in-nrms to the. field, to share
with them the dangers and the glories of the

so criminal as to deserve the penalty of
death. •

With that deserted infamy which will blast
them forever in the,esteem of their fellows—
the General commanding wishes this ordtr
read to them and'to all who are not too lost to
a sense of honor, to step forth and confess
that whatever may'.have been their private
wants and griefs, the hour of their country’s
■need and peril was not the time to stand
back and falter, or expose their brother's ia
