JBIIJI B. BRATTON, ’Editor & Proprietor. GAKLISLE, PA., APRIL 9, IBG3 Oore Terms.-— Letters frequently roach this office inquiring tho subscription price of the Volunteer, To all such inquiries wo an swer it is Two. Dollars a Tear, nni nothing loss.' At tho present prices of paper, ink and other articles used in the printing business no person can print a paper the size of the Volunteer for less money. In fact, there is nothing made at that price; but under the hope that tho panic in the paper market would not last long, wo determined to keep the.paper at that price. There are few pa pers in the .State, containing tho same amount of reading matter of the Volunteer, published at two dollars .per annum. Nearly-or quite all-the largo papers throughout '■ the State wore reduced in size about Noiv Years. We -are gratified to be able to sny that, we are continually adding-now names to the list, running from eight to twelve a week for the last three months. . Within the twenty-four hours preceding this writing we have added six advance-paying subscribers to the list.—. There is a good feeling awoke throughout the Count!', and the people ciinnot do without the ■Voluulccer, -It is gratifying to know that among.the number are some men who for merly voted and acted with the' Republican party. . .

This provoked the BlacksUakes, and they worked with inore zeal against the soldier than any nian on tile ticket.' Ho was elected, however, after a severe fight, and defeated his oppo nent asho had defoatod.the rebels in the hold. We were right glad to 'hoar of his success, for it is but another evidence ol the friend ship of the Democratic party for those who have been nnfortnnate in battle. Go way, blaoksnakes !

These resolutions approve the p resident's Eninncipation'iProolamation, the Negro soldier Bill, the suspension of the writ of Habeas Corpus, the Confiscation and Con scription Bills, and the other unconstitutional nensures adopted .by Congress and approved a\ctf by the President. -Nay, more,- tho resolutions go farther,'and speak of Democrats as “ trni tors/' “ secession- sympathisers," coppor tends," &o.

A more base attempt at deception, a more wicked resort to prop up the gamblers in blood who surround the sinking fortunes of a condemned party and a repudiated ad ministration, could not, have boon suggested .by the most hardened reprobates the world ever produced.

The Blncksnake officer calls on the different Companies of his lloguiTont, and after read ing'tlio libellous resolutions to-them, makes an, appeal that they 'bo passed, hinting, in unmistakable language at the samp time,' that those.who vote for thorn will bo favored by the administration, and those who vote' against them will hear of tho’displeasure of Annan.l.ll I, his Secretary, of War, hud'other understrappers.

It was only a few days ago that the Sec retary .of Waf,by direction of the imbecile L r .v -coi,\, dismissed from the service a Lieuten ant for circulating Democratic tickets during the late political contest in Now Hampshire* and late despatches from Washington state that the army is, to ho “ weeded" of all offi-' oors who disapprove of the President’s Lman-, cipation policy. Whilo-they are at the weed ing business, hadn’t they better weed it of all tbosyWic'rr who disapprove of the policy? Tlio same principle should certainly bo applied to both cases. They would have a beggarly looking army if they did. Who can respect or bare confidence in an administration guilty of snob despicable e»n duct? But all will not.do, .Messrs. Black snakrs—your attempt to use the army, your tyranny, threats, treasonable' disunion Leagues, bos, frauds, perjuries, and thefts will not save you.

I, Tiic-Quakers and tub War.—Wo notice that the male members of the religious soci ety known as friends, (or Quakers,) arc sending petitions to our Legislature asking to ho exempt from the payment of fines for having refused to go into the army when ■drafted. We presume no member of the Le gislature will stultify,himself by voting fora hill to relievo these petitioners. Tho Qua kers, almost to a man, are rampant Aboli tionists ; many of them arc very wealthy, and, they have contributed millions in aid of Ab olition societies, speakers and publications.— For a quarter of a century they have boon working fur a dissolution of the Union, and no set of men ol the same number have cou rihuledpnoro to bring about Mho civil war that is desolating the land, then those very Quakers, Ts T o, no,.

Iho elections in those States have boon held and the Abolition officers are about to return to their duties in the field, an* therefore, the 1 ‘ forward niovdment” so long delayed, will soon tako ' ** < This is a beautiful state', of affairs, truly. An immense army is delayed in its move ments for several hays, pei-haps weeks, at an expense of aboiif a .million. and a half of dollars per day, to say nothing of the sacri fice of life, and all for the.purpose of giving Blacksnake officers.an opportunity to vote and make speeches, and thus earn promotion from Abe I. Is it any wonder our army has not ;beon more successful?. The President and the hordes of plunderers about him; have no time tp think of our bleeding country, for their hours are wholly occupied' in tlm, con sideration of party and robber movements. A Democratic officer is dismissed the service because he distributed Deniooratictiokets,’' but, all Blacksnake officers are granted leave of absence fur weeks for the purpose of voting and making libellous speeches. Kay more, these , itinerant spoolers are"promoted, riot for their bravery, nos for. their.military' achievements, not fur their worth, but for the number of speeches they made in. behalf of tlio I,mancipation Proclamation 'hud other outrages,which the people of tlio, North have so signally.condemned. This'is the. way Ah-' ol it ion officers; in many oases, earn promotion, whilst Democratic officers are refused a, siini-, lar favor oven for heroic deeds, and are dis missed from the service if they dare to vote or distribute tickets'! ■, ~ ■ , A beautiful stale of affairs, we repeat. 'What Government on the. faes-.of God’s earth Ims oyer been trifled with in this manner?— What other despot beside Lin-coi,.v . has ever dared to practice such pranks? Who but a minority Abolition President would thus out rage decency, right.and justice ? If the peo ple of this once happy country—happy until a remorseless Abolition faction, was foisted into power and into places formerly occupied •by decent white men—if the people, wo say, must have .a tyrant, oyer them, and if they must submit to, a despotism, it. would be soino‘rolief to have a man of sense, a states man, to. wield the despotic power.' But to ho the serfs of a small man—of a man with but. on.e idea,'and that idea tlio negro—is a hu miliation that is hard indeed to endure • Dnt,:frionds of the. Union, of a free press and free, speech, never despair. Mr. Lincoi..v has entered upon the last half of his term.— Time flies swiftly, and soon .will wo ho re lieved pf the incubus that presses the people to the earth and makes them hionials.

Two years more aiid the Democratic party will ho in power; and then, but not till then, wo fear, may .wo hope for a united Union and a-united people. Let the Li.vcdPytTEs,make the most of their time— and this they are certainly doing in the way of stealing—let them persecute. Democrats., if. they will, lock them .up. in government, dungeons, destroy their. property, and deprive .them of the rights of freemen; but at the same time let them remember also that a day of reckoning is rapidly approaching when the sovereign people,' mad, defiant and brave,, will put-their heels'.upon their oppressors, " and smother them in their own corruption. Courage, Democrats! the bright sun of hope ” will, ere long be discernible, in the political ' firmament,. A ■MisciiAUfcE Falsehood.— Tlio Carlisle f,!’ Jn ita last issue, .professes to' account for the treachery of Mr. Scaur, (who was cleeteri by the Democrats of the East Ward, to the IWn Council,) by assorting.that.hia Democratic colleagues 'in council had prora ted to appoint him Tax Collector, on account ofa loss bo had sustained-lire year previous m hailing a Borough officer, .who had proved, a defaulter, and that they .deceived him— Wo are authorized by the Democratic' coun- Cilmeu thus implicated, to pronounce this Charge an i.ifamousfalsehood. No promise of the kind was ever made to Mr. Scaur or any other man. Again, the Herald says that at.the caucus mooting of the Democratic •Couneilmon (pre vious to the first mooting of council,) they urged the selection of discharged soldiers for one or two offices, because’those soldiers represented some forty votes,,; that person ally they (the Democratic couneilmon,) did not care a straw for those cripples,” & e .

Mr; Kiieem, a .ninn of wealth and who holds a fat office under “ Old Aho," de feated young Smith, -a .crippled soldier, for tho potty office ot Borough Treasurer! No wonder the Herald was ashamed to give its readers the name of tho man guilty of this “ loyal" act. Tho “ moral of this whole story is,” that 10 Blacksnakes think more of themselves mn they do of wounded soldiers.. Their former professions wore false, and only made to deceive. And this may lie said of.them concorniqg all their political doings. «o,n who can read it.without blushing at: the degradation into Which his country. Ims full ,on?

The official “Order” says, “for circulating ‘Copperhead Ticket's,’ mid doing all iri.his power to promote the-success of the rebcl'causo-in his Statu.” The “ Or-- dor” is a falaehpoJ. .The President and all concerned were, guilty of falsehood when they issued it.
