Inqoest,— On Friday morning last "Coroner Shitm was called on to hold an inquest over the body of an unknown man, who died in the county jail oh the night previous. On Thursday evening, about 5 o’clock, he was discovered lying in the market-house, in an unconscious condition, apparently the result of liquor. Constable Martin, at the instance of the Market-master, got a wheel-barrow and hired a negro to wheel him to the jail, and had him committed-for twenty-four hours on the charge of intoxication. He was placed in a cell, apparently in a sound drunken sleep, from, which he never woke. There was nothing on his person to lead to his iden tification, nor were there any evidence before the Coroner’s Jury which gave the slightest, clue ns to who he was. A verdict was ren dered of “ death from intemperance.” The body was removed to the County Poor House, where it was decently buried.

Volunteers, the first man in our county to volunteer on the breaking out of the re bellion, and who has served most faithfully and gallantly over since, and who at a most critical time commanded his Regiment, has been dismissed from the service because of a slight difficulty with a Massachusetts officer. Pennsylvanians are sacrificed to Abolition Yankees ; one more step now,.and thecountry is safe—Yankees sacrificed to negroes. Wo have seen the highest testimonials to Capt. Kuhn from Pennsylvania officers, for gal lantry and good conduct. Capt. K. arrived home a few days since. OrnciAN and Oculist. —Professor 3.

Volunteers Returning. —The Bth regi ment of A T cw York Volunteers (two year’s volunteers) were to be mustered out of the service, and take passage by steamer at Ao quia Creek /or New York on Frida/. FOBBING OF THE ADMINISTRATION CATS. ■ It is amusing just now to notioo the expe dients resorted to by the office-holders, con tractors and expectants under the National administration, to uphold the sinking fortunes of thoir party. Abolition officers in the army, instead of attending to their military duties, ’are half the lime engaged in writing letters to treasonable Leagues, in which they make disgusting" threats against a great many things,'and against “ copperheads” in par ticular. Braggarts, however, are generally cowards, and these valiant Blucksnnko officers have not, that wo have learned, frightened any man or woman by their contemptible threats. There is not a-man of them who would not take to his heels should a single u copperhead” cross his path. Then again, wo have the Cabinet engaged in writing letters to their friends in the Leagues. Seward, with boll in hand, boasts of his power being greater then Queen Vic toria dare exercise, Jmt which he can and will exercise ; and Halleok, commander-in chief of the army, threatens to use his “ heels” against the Democratic party. Lin coln, obeying the demands of Greelev, Beecher, Phillies, and other notorious trai tors and disuniunlsts, dismisses a Lieutenant from the army, because that Lieutenant exer cised the right of a freeman, and voted in New Hampshire as his conscience dictated. So we go. ' Is it to be wondered at that our army has not been more successful ? Why, neither the ■administration or its particular friends have time to give a thought concerning the cause of our country. They are dabbling in politics constantly, from the President down to the most obscure understrapper, and really tlmy appearto.be neglecting everything else. Is jt so with Jeff Davis, and the rebels engag ed in his cause 2 No, 'no— .Jeff Davis, trai tor as he is, is ti man of energy, and all the powers of his mind are exercised in behalf of the object before him. Look at the leading men of the South, too, and where do we 'find them ? In the army, scores of them as privates. Shortly before this ac cursed rebellion broke out wo had many treasonable speeches delivered in Congress, both by Northern men and Southern men. The Southern members told the Abolition members that if they (the Abolitionists) persisted in their mad career, and refused to grant, equal rights and privileges to all the States, they (tho South) would secede, and to a man tight. Tho Abolition members replied snooringly—reminded the Southern members that they were weak in comparison with tho North—that the North could and would “ whip them in silty days”—that the objects of the aholitionized Republican parly must be carried out at all hazards, and thal they (the Abolition members of Copgross) would also fight if the worst came to the. worst. Thus, crimination and re-crimination characterized the proceedings of Congress for weeks previous to the breaking out of the re bellion. Where are those niembers of Con gress now ?—where those men who said they “ would light’’ if war was declared ? The Southern men adhered strictly to their word —for it was ho empty threat with,them—and after resigning their seats in Congress, they at once joined the regiments of their respec tive States. Whore axe our Abolition Con gressmen, who boasted so much, and said they too would fight? In the army? No, but bolding lucrative offices, by which they have been enabled to amass princely fortunes. Many of them, like Senator Simmons, have been discovered in robbing the Government of millions, and not a mother’s son of them has offered his precious services in the field. Just now they are lecturing dhJoyal Leagues, and trying their best to so complicate .mat ters that a re-union of .the Slates will be next to impossible. They are after the peo ple’s money, the rascals, and their prayer is that the, war may go oh so long as they can .grab a dollar. The wrath of ajust God will yet, we believe, strike down these cold-blood ed and utterly selfish and unprincipled wretches. And yet the Abolition organs are francti cally appealing to the people to save their party from the overwhelming and crushing defeat that awaits it at the hands of a long patient and long suffering Democracy. They are growing more reckless than ever before in their vile and unmanly abuse of patriotic Democrats. They are more than usually earnest upon the hackneyed subjectof Demo cratic “ disloyalty and treason." They still insist that Abe Lincoln is the Government, and that it is treason to oppose his Adminis- tvation or to criticise his acts. With these poor blind bigots and’fanatics, an unhesita ting acquiescence in every act and measure of Lincoln and his crazy advisers and support ers is the only standard of patriotism and public virtue. Every man is a vile “eocesr eionist and traitor,” deserving of death and public execration, who is bold enough to question the wisdom of Lincoln’s acts, or to differ with the Abolition madmen of New England. The Democracy acknowledges no allegiance to these men. The Democracy regards the whole batch of them as so many traitorous disloyalists themselves, against whom it is the highest duty of patriots to war now and forever hereafter. The Demo cratic party honors and loves the Government of 'their country, while they utterly scorn and detcatthe corrupt and unprincipled revo lutionists who have trampled under foot the Constitution ami who aro now seeking to en slave the people of the free States. While professing to bo the peculiar and exclusive friends and champions of our.country .and its free institutions, these bad men are plotting to dismember the Union forever and to change our form of government. While we are willing to admit that there are honest patri-, ots in the Republican party, who sincerely desire a restoration of the Union, no intelli gent man can now doubt that the leaders of the party aro fully resolved that the two soc- tions of the old Union shall remain forever apart. We cannot bo mistaken as to the purposes and intentions of the Abolition lead ers. To those criminal conspirators against fhpir country and Government the Doraooratio party owes no allegiance and will acknowledge none. AVo will cling to the Constitution and defend it; nor are wo to bo overawed or in- ated iu the performance of a sacred and patriotic duty by the libelous slang of Aboli tion scribblers. They and tboirparty leaders are the traitors and the only traitors in the loyal States. Thoir party is already con demned by the verdict of the people, and, like a trembling felon with the halter around his neck, only awaits . execution. ‘ln the days of its power, whilst rioting in the lust of usurped dominion, it could inspire terror throughout the country; now it Only excites measureless contempt and disgust. •"ON TO fiICHJIOJID.” When McCr.BLi.AN was in command of the army, the constant cry of the Jacobins was “on to Richmond-! on to Richmond!’' Wo matter what obstacles were in the way of our troops ; no matter if the mud reached, to the horses’ bridle-bits, the Abolition slogan was still heard “ on to Richmond !” ■ No excuses, no arguments, .would satisfy the radicals.— With - M’Clellan’s removal from the com mand of our noble troops that cry of “ on to Richmond” ceased,and for months together wo have not heard even a shoddy contrac tor or government plunderer whisper it. The array of the Potomac is now, it is understood, commanded by a Republican General—a good man and good soldier, however—and ho is permitted, unmolested, to make his own ar rangements and select his own time for a movement. We are glad it is so, but yet we cannot but remark that if the Democrats were half as illiberal in spirit, and desired to manufacture political capital by making vile attacks upon our Generals in the field, they might long since, in imitation of the Jacobin Republicans, also demanded an “ on to Rich mond” moyeoient. Democrats don’t resort to such contemptible expedients ; they have mo desire to hamper and annoy our military chieftains, by attempting to dictate to them what to dp a-id how to do it. Wo do not stop to inquire what the politics of a commander are, but we wish him God-speed; and, with out molestation, permit him to concoct and execute his own military plans. No, Demo crats could hot be .guilty of constantly find ing fault with a General, merely that they might be enabled to blast his character and effect a political object. Blacksnake Repub licans are the only men guilty of this con temptible meanness. . But, bow that we are likely tohave settled and favorable weather, we may express the hope that Gen. Hookeu’s immense army may make an early advance movement. When it does move, we feel Confident it will go on to victory. It is a noble army—on army we all feel a deep interest in. There are few fami lies in our Cumberland Valley that are not represented in this noble band of patriots; j many who are near and dear to the writer of this article are in its ranks, and, in common with all other men in our Valley, wehppo to see that valiant body of men strike a blow against rehbeldom that will make the.Siuth orn humbug “ Confederacy” rock, totter and fall. Lot us hope then, all of us, and with a true spirit of patriotism, that when Gen. lloOKEn’s army moves, it will ho to a trium phant victory. Let us hope, all of us, that our beloved country, notwithstanding its present peril, may yet bo saved, the Consti tution reinstated, and the Union, restored.— So mote it bo. WILL BE REMEMBERED! An Abolition speaker a few days since, ad-, dressing a treasonable. League * meeting at Washington,.said that ‘‘ the name of Abra eaji Lincoln will never bo forgotten,” &c. True enough; it will be remembered for a long time to oome. It will bo remembered by the childron'of thomon who have boon in carcerated in prisons. It will he remember ed by the widows and mothers whose hus bands and sons have been butchered, in bat tle because of the imbecility of the adminis tration. It will bo remembered by the sol diers of the army of the Potomac, who were deprived of their idolized commander, M’Clel lan, against their remonstrances and pray; ers. It will bo remembered by the tens of thousands of men who loaned their moans’to the government because they wore falsely told that the object of the war was to restore the Union as it was. It will be remembered, aye and detested too, by the men who have been educated to believe that ours was a free country, where liberty of speech and freedom of the press were prominent privileges en joyed by Americans. It will bo remembered by those who abhor treachery, deceit, double dealing and fraud. It will be remembered by those who, when this rebellion broke out, were assured by the administration and its minions and hirelings, that it could be and would be" putdown in sixty or ninety days.” It will bo remembered by those who shudder when they recollect that Abraham Lincoln took an oath before high heaven and in the'presenco of thousands of his fellow-men, that he .would maintain, defend and sup port the Constitution, and that after taking this oath be violated every essential provision of that snored instrument. It will bo re membered by those who revere the warning words of Washington and Jackson, who cautioned us to beware of sectional parties and factions. In fine, it will be remembei'ed by all those who are in principle opposed to robbery, swindling, fraud and purjury. Yes—“ the name of Abraham Lincoln will never be forgottenthat is very certain. Cy” McClellan is still the idol of .the Ar my, in spite of the Congressional Report.— It is related that as the troops were march ing off, after the recent Presidential review, one of the officers of Hooker’s staff called for “ Three cheers for President Lincoln,” which wore given, and were followed by a call from the ranks for “ Three cheers for Little Mae,’* to which the response was deafening. OCT" Forney has confessed that the object of tho “ Union Leagues” is to elect an abolition President in 1804. This must bo consoling to weak-beaded Democrats who join them from "patriotic” motives. Judge AVoodruff made a speech at a “ Union League” molting in Cincinnati, on Friday evening of week be fore last, when be confessed that the “ League’s object is to carry the coming elec tions, and to organize so as to carry them by bloodshed if necessary.” SS&~ A New Hampshire editor, spoaTcing-of the party in power, says their falsehoods beat Munchausen himself, .imd are vastly more numerous then tho smells wbieb Coleridge found in the eity of -Cologne, and of a worse character; “ Blghty-seven different etinki AU well defined; and aereral Uenobet." TUB METHODIST CONFERENCE AT fißff YORK, A body of clerical politicians assembled last week in New York, under the above de sigation. Their proceedingvnro reported in full in the New York pap'ortj and, judging fiom the speeches delivered before the “ Con ference,” s more rampant body of traitors never assembled in this or any other country. The proceedings from first to last are politi cal abolitionism ; the object for which the Con ference had been assembled was, it appears, entirely forgotten, or if nbt forgotten, consid ered unworthy of attention. In his speech) ono of these “ War Christians” declared with emphasis,'that “ be thanked God for our de feat at Bull Run. and other places 1” Anoth er said ho “ was ready to forfeit his soul to carry out the blessed' Emancipation Pro clamation.” This shocking, blasphemy, the report says, was “ followed by loud cheers and laughter.” Another said “ our defeats were our host, victories; for had wo conquered the South In throe months, our grand objects, the freedom of four millions of slaves, and the confiscation of all southern property, would not have been accomplished followed, by “ loud cheers.*' Another remarked that “ho only found fault with our glorious President for one thing—instead of suspending the writ of habeas corpus, "ho should suspend every man who opposes the measures of his admin istration followed “by cheers.” Another, “ weaving spectacles, but whose name the re porter could not learn,” declared that ho ‘‘ was in favor of Senator Lane’s plan, viz—shoot a copperhead wherever found." “ Cheers and loud laughter 1" Such.were, the proceedings of this so-called Methodist Conference. Was over such trea son and profanity uttered outside the infer nal : regions? The resolutions adopted by this traitorous assemblage wore nearly as devilish and wicked in sentiment as the speeches, and because three or four of their number oouldnot and would not, endorse the speeches and resolutions, 1 they were expelled from the Conference and. branded as ” trai tors I” After being in session four days, this poli tical Conference' adjourned, and, according to ' a Washington paper, “ most of its members 1 proceeded to the National Capitol, to pay their respects to the President, and to tender ’ him their aid, sympathy, and prayers.” “ They were .received most cordially by the President and his lady,” (we quote from a Washington journal,) “ and a number of them dined with Mr. Lincoln and family,” Thus it appears that these clerical traitors who rejoiced over our military defeats, and the slaughter of thousands of our bravo troops, and “thanked God fur themwho recom mended the shooting of .Democrats ; who were ready to forfeit their souls rather than fail in their nefarious Abolition designs j who regarded the defeats our armies had sustain ed as “ dur best victoriesthese men, we say, after expressing these God-defying and treasonable sentiments, are endorsed by the President and “received most cordially by himself aud lady J” The inference cun bo drawn even by a blind man—the President' himself holds the same views as those ex pressed by these wretched fanatics; If he did not, when they called bh him at the White House, ho would have “ touched a boll,” in .yiL'BKWATtJj. citJlud in one of his Provost Marshals, and arrested and confined every man of them for treason. No country on the face of God’s green earth, ours excepted, would permit treason such as these clerical Jacobins uttered, to go un punished for an hour. But here the men who scoff at our country, spit upon its Consti tution, deride its laws, rejoice over the defeats of our army, and recommend assassination, dine with the ohiof Executive of the nation, and are caressed by the “ royal family” of ple bians.who for twenty-two months longer are to occupy the White House at Washington 1 In the name of patriotism, justice and. right, what are we coming to—where are we drift ingJ , 'Copperheads. This term, first applied to the Democrats by the rebels but afterwards also applied by the abolition twin-brothers of the latter to all those who abhor disunion in any form and corruption in all its stages and varieties, has at length been dignified by the official recog nition of the President himself, in his order dismissing a Yankee soldier for voting the Democratic ticket. As tho serpent is the im memorial symbol of light and of eternity, and biblical symbol of wisdom, the Democracy do not care how much or how often their oppo nents apply tho term Copperhead to them, and they are .generally disposed to grow fun ny whenever it is so applied. Many of them, in imitation of tho patriots of tho Revolution, obtain copper Liberty -heads, others. have beautiful copper breast-pine made in the forai of tho head and bust of tho Goddess of Liber ty, while many a true blue carries on old fashioned copper-coin In %is pocket, to remind him, we suppose, pot only of his duty to his country but also of tho foot that specie was once used os a circulating medium by the people of this Nation. That any body should object to this course of action 5s singular, yet it is true that many Republicans now-a-days got cross themselves when they discover that tho application cf the term to a Democrat has rather an exhiierating effect upon him ! We hope, however, that Ape's friepds will arouse their former good pature and amiabil ity, and permit Democrats to ridicule what was intended .as an opprobrious epithet as much as may suit their pleasure. You applied it to the Democracy gratuitously, gentlemen, apd they have a porfootriglit therefore to use it as host suits their tastes. The Tituni of Histohv— Says the gallant and patriotic Louisville Journal; “ The Crittenden Compromise would have been *l)6 death of the rebellion, and both Southern Senators and Hr publican Senators wore re sponsible for its failure, for enough of either to have carried the measure, with the aid of those who actually vote for it, refused to vote for it or opposed it. It took two parties to be get tliis rebellionl’ A Successful Disguise. —The Altoona (Pa.) Register tolls of a female just returned to that town after a service of eighteen months in the army, without having her sex discovered. She took part in throe battles, and was wounded twice, first above the eye and then in the arm, the latter wound com pelling her to disclose her sex. OfWdal Jlnlevdlcnw, It is a wall established fact that at the re ■oent elections In Now liampshiro and Con necticut, tho Republican' soldiers were sent home to vote; while tho Democratic soldiers were kept on duty. A Lieutenant of one of tho Now liampshiro companies sent homo, however, voted the Democratic ticket. ' Tho fact was promptly made known to the autho rities at Washington, when tho following or der was at once issued, viz: * Win DnrAnrjiKST, Adjutant GKNEnAL’s ) Office, Washington, March 13, 1863. J Special Copers, No 119. (Extract.) 34. By direction of the President the fol lowing officers are hereby dismissed tho ser vice of the United States : Lieutenant A. J. Edgorly, 4th New Hampshire ydunteers, for cimdating “ Copperhead Tickets,” and ■ doing all in his power to promote the success of the rebel cause in his State. By order of the Secretary War. L. THOMAS, Adjutant General. To the Governor of Now liampshiro. Tho Lieutenant proved by a Republican ■election officer that he had taken no part in the election, except to vote. As he was not restored, after this proof, it is clear that his only offedoo consisted in voting tho Democrat ic, ticket. Therefore, the President brands him as a Copperhead and a promoter of the rebel cause I Democrats, that is what Mr. Lincoln 1 thinks of you, and yet you are asked to give his administration a generous support, and to.believe him an honest man and a patriotic officer. The above order is not only an act of gross tyranny, violative of the Constitution and tho principles of the Govern ment, but a mean and foolish one, and conclu sively prove that neither the President or Secretary at War dt all comprehend the du ties of their respective positions; The Ly coming Gazelle, whicli has heretofore been somewhat afflicted with administration sym pathies, well remarks: Passing, oyer this official evidence that a military officer may not vote as his conscience prompts, further than to ask if an officer is dismissed because of his political 'opinions, why not dismiss all tho private soldiers of the same party, wo come to the remark that it is the first time in the history of this nation that any official has stooped to the use, in a government document, of the low political slang phrases in vogue. The terra ” Copperheads” may be tolerated on the stump, to designate the political party now in the majority; but we submit the question to the judgment of the public, whether it is not out of place when incorporat ed, “ by the direction of the President," into a State, paper? So says the Look Haven Democrat. 1 General Ilallcck. This man, having a military education and being, in some sort,' a soldier, expressed, in bold language, a purpose which the adminis tration and the whole.radical Abolition pafty have at heart, when he declared,.in''his let ter to the New York Leaguers, that the ar-. my, after having crushed the rebellion in the South, would “ place their heels upon the heads of sneaking traitors in the North"— meaning .thereby the heads of those politically opposed to the administration ; for, unless such oppo-1 sition be treason,, there is no treason, at least that we know of; “in the North.” This bloody sentiment of the General-in-Chief. • haa "boon fitly commented bn by.'tho Domo* cratic press, and a few, very few moderate Republican journals have condemned it. But the baldest of all commentators, outside the Democratic party, in Prentice, of the Louis ville Journal, who says r “ When language snoh .as this was used several-weeks ago by a certain General Mik roy, wo denounced it as infamous, and held up to the execration of the people. We now, with additional streos, apply to the language; qf General Halleck what wo then said of the I language of General Milroy. It is unspeak ably infamous and deserves, as it will re ceive, the heartfelt execration of the people. Nor will the people, nor. should they, rest cOntent.with simple execration, however deep and burning; they will, ns they should; ay, ns they must, if they would live a free .peo ple, address themselves -with new earnestness and resolution to the great work of putting down at the ballot-box the destructive, and in fernal party of which Gone-ial Halleck is a. worthy chief. This work is indispensiblo to the national salvation. Let the language of General lialleck, and all other like, manilos-: tations of radical guilt and, folly, but nerve' the people to perform with bolder energy and with loftier zeal the indispensable work.— Such manifestations, as we are well assured,' can have no other effect; and, in this.point of • view, they are fraught with hope rather than . with despair. Whom the gods would destroy i they first make mad. And it requires no stretch of fancy to see in this flagitious con duct of the radicals the madness which her alds their own destruction.” True as Gosper..—The following paragraph we find in a late number of tho Washington Chronicle, a paper under the management of John T/. Forney; how% got’ there is more than wo can divine. Forney, himself, never could-have seen it, for it is a scathing rebuke to the.loud profession of loyalty, now so com mon among contractors and others who are making money off tho calamities of the peo ple. Says the Chronicler “.As the question was propounded of old, who is on tho Lord’s side? and as a test was proposed by which those who purposed to servo the Lord should be known, sort is now. Union mon do not need repeated affirmations and oaths to attest their attachments to tho cause, but their lives are read anr\ kpown by all men. As it is not necessary for a man to go abaut proclaiming himself to be .in favor of the Christian religion—for his life will give assurance of that —so neither is it incum bent upon a true Union man to bo continually asserting that ho is in favor Of tho Union.— When a man is constantly asseverating that he is as good a Union man as anybody, wo confess that we suspect his loyalty." O” The secessionists in Lexington, Mo., have been notified that their property will be held responsible for any guerrilla outra ges on steamers within five miles of ■the city, East or West. Eight. Genehal McClellan at West Point.— General McClellan paid a visit to his alma mater recently, and was received with every demonstration of enthusiasm and respect by the cadets. lie was serenaded, and made a brief speech to the cadets, after which ho hold a levee and cordially received the young gentlemen. _ Mrs. Semmos, wife of the Captain of the pirate Alabama, who has been residing all winter in Cincinnati, has been ordered, under the recent Proclamation of Gen. Burnside, to prepare to cross the linos into Dixey. O’ Patrick Henry said : "Give mo liberty or give me death 1" The Ab-o-lish say: “ Give us the Pree Americans of African decent or give us National death." Htcdpt lo Consolidate White and Black 7 fieginenle. , The Whites Refuse to Obey ■ and are Arrested and Bisbrttied by the Slacks'.' . Same time ago -tve published n paragraph [ stating tha foot that At both featon Rogue and ’ Ship Island tlioro had boon trouble, growing but of tho attempt to consolidat'd white, and , black regiments. ■ Tho particulars of tbS off currenco at Ship Island are clearly slated by a correspondent of tho Springfield (Mass.)' Republican. How tho difficulty has boon settled, or whether settled at all, wo do not know. The correspondent of tho Republican says: As the- experiment of organizing negro regiments has been instituted by the Govern-; raontj its progress and results are a matter of groat interest: and having had-an opportu nity to witness the efforts to enforce the prin , oiples of military equality of such regiments, I will volunteer to give you its history. For several months past the military post of Ship Island has been garrisoned by two companies of the 13th Maine regiment, under command of Col. Henry Rust.' Recently, the 2d Louisiana regiment of black volunteers was ordered to rendezvous at this Island, and Col. .Rust was ordered to transfer the com mand of the post to their commanding officer, Col. N. W. Daniels. Col. Rust and staff ns ordered, repaired fo Fort Jackson, leaving behind him on the lsland the two companies of the I3th Maine. Upon assuming command of the post, Col. Daniels issued orders commanding tho con solidation of the two companies of whites with his regiment of blacks. Ho ordered them to attend battalion drill, and be consolidated dt drees parade. Ih camp and guard duties black captains were placed over white lieu tenants, and thus white officers and black, white privates and black, in one black col umn blent, obsequiously doing honor to black equals and superiors, were to inaugurate the reign ,of ebony. The recognition' required washot merely the passing salute and modes and forms of military etiquette, but an equal military equality with its accompanying hon ors and obedience. Against tho others so consolidating them with blacks, tho officers of the two white ootn panies earnestly protested. But their protest being unheeded and unanswered, after a suit • able'delay, they finally refused to obey tho orders. They refused to take their corr,po nies to battalion drill or appear ori dress par ade; they refused also to detail guard to bo commanded by negroes. They wore arrested, and the command of the companies finally developed upon tho orderly sergeants. By the sergeant’s offering to detail, guard, the question.’wns put directly to the members of tho companies whether they-would do duty as guard under negro officers. Following the example of their officers, the men perempto rily refused. Y.’hereupon. the men were or dered under arrest, their muskets and equip ments taken from them, and black guards stationed around their appointed quarters. . The execution of the order for arresting the companies. was one of the most humiliating scenes I ever witnessed. As a precaution against disturbance, the black regiment was ordered under arms and muskets loaded.— Two companies of' blacks, with, their black officers, marched to the quarters of tho diso bedient soldiers, and called upon them to surrender themselves as prisoners. Instead of resisting, the men obeyed the summons in a spirit characteristic of the intelligent Now England soldier, who knows how,to obey, but knows, too, the philosophy of resistance to injustice. Silently, they marched in front of their negro masters, stacked their arms, hung their accoutrements upon their glitter ing bayonets, arid turned sadly, away, while their black captors boro away their arms with feeling and, expressions of glee, as if they were trophies of conquest.

I agree they are stupid. I agree they have united the South, and that they have divided the North. I agree to another thing,;and you won’t ex-i pect me as a Democrat to find.lault with that —I agree that they prostrated the Republi can party in every non-slaveholding. State, of this Confederacy and gave the Demoo'rats the ascendancy, and nobody will expect me to find fault with them on that account. New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, became Democratic as the result of them, and I am not the man to find fault with that. 17 A Question. —The Administration organs denounce Vallandingham as a traitor, and praise Bingham, of the same State, as a pa-, triqt. In a debate during the late session of Congress, Mr. Vallandingbam said: , 11 It is in the restoration of . the Union ns it was in 1789, and continued for Over seven ty years, that I am bound to the last hour of my political existence.’' Mr, Bingham, in the same debate, asked “ Who, in the: name of God, wants the cotton States, or any other States this side qf perdition, to remain in the Union, if slavery is to continue lot every fair-minded, true friend of the Union, determine for himself whether Val 'landingham or Bingham is the patriot. Is not Bingham more deserving of thro name of traitor? * The Aspirations of Gen. llai.leck.—A correspondent of the New York Express no ticing the foolish, threat of Gen. Hallook to the effect that “ treason at. the North” is to be crushed out by martial law, after the wor, says; “ Remember tho prediction of the late Gen. Nelson, who was shot in Louisville, Ky., who baldly avowed that Ilullcck was intrigu ing to get Gen. McClellan’s place ns General in-Chief, and the removal of Gen. Buell from the command of the army of the West, and that he would, if ho could, make himself Military Dictator. Part of the brave, lamen ted Nelson’s prediction has been verified to the letter, Lotus “ wait a little longer” and see if ho will not try to fulfil the entire pre diction.” Illinois.— The Chicago Times says that in that State tho record of Democratic victories gained this spring will indicate a tremendous Democratic majority in the State. Prophesy of Genebal Jackson.— Said,the old hero to a friend at tho Hermitage,* short time before his death r “ The Abolition party is a disloyal organ ization. Its pretended love of freedom means nothing more nor less than a dissolution of the Union. Honest men of all parties should ■unite to expose their intentions and arrest their progress.” O” Upwards of twenty rebel soldiers brought to Baltimore as prisoners of war, took the oath of allegiance on Wednesday, and W6po sent to Western Virginia.

On Sunday, tbn 22,1 when approaching a station oiaht 1 west of Deep Creek,'which is one hundr»? and sixty miles beyond Salt Lake Cit it was discovered that the house was filled n , surrounded by Indians. The driver, who name was Unnk Harper, formerly of this oii S ° we believe, reined his team in toward itsu/* al stopping place until quite near, wU*' something seemed to have excited his ausj 1 cion, ond ho tamed back info the rood, at £ same time giving his horses tho whip an S starting them into : a.keen run. .’ At the same moment the Indians onenci fire upon the coaob, discharging some sis j eight rifle-shots and a perfect shower of u rows. Judge Mott and the two boys wcto.i the time in the coach. With tltb CUrtnina close buttoned down. Neither of the thcej were hurt. The other passenger was on thd box beside the driver. After gpihg about half a mije, the driver called to Judge.Jlott to como to hie assistance, wliicb be did opening the curtains and climbing iiroanii on. tlie box. There a horrible sight-met hi< view. The passenger was'shot through thd head, and had fallen down into the boot,"while blood and brains were bespattered over the entire front part of the coach. The driver was shot through the body in -the region of-the heart, but still manfully. retained his post and performed his duty. Judge Unit took the reins and assisted thy, driver down into tho boot under the -sent, who.ro ho con. tinned to assist and advise tho management of tho team until ho died, which was loss than half an hour. - Tho race now became one of life and death. The Indians were in pursuit, some afoot nnd soma on horseback, firing ns long and as far as they had any hope of hitting tho conch, but tho team was a good one ami seemed to appreciate the emergency of these-., casion, and at tlio end of half a dozen miles the impromptu driver had the satisfaction of seeing the last one fade from sight in tin distance. At the end of eight miles is Deep Creek Station, hut when it came in. sight a now alarm presented itself. A herd of ani mals were on the plain near by, which the Judge took to be.lndian iponion, and natural ly enough supposed that tlieir owners had possession of, and were lying in wait at that station also. He sobered his team down to a weak and studied what best to do. Finally, ho determined to cut throe of the horses out of tlio traces, put the boys on two of them and mount the third himself, when he was satis fied that they could outrun any Indians. Having got all in readiness, opened hii knile and communicated his plan to the boys, he told them to halloo as loud as they could —the Judge was suffering with hoarseness nnd unable ,to speak above his breath—thinking thoreby to make the occupants of the house, .whoever they might bo, show- themselves. The. ruse was successful and the result grati fying, as a dozen white men made their appearance, nnd the coach was driven up and'delivored into their care. The driver was found to be dead, but the.other man was still alive up to the time Judge Mott left, which was near twenty-four hours after, although his brains Were oozing from the wounds in the top of his head. It wris subsequently learned that the Indians had killed, stripped and scalped two men at the station before the conch came up. _ The Telegraph was at oneo put! in requisi tion', and in an hour ar’ two troops were iikiv lug; ehstwurd from • Buby ward from Salt bake, toward the scene of the tragedy. The next day the Judge came on alone, the hoys remaining with ’tlieir father, who would certainly soon die. There was n fair, probability that the Indians would be overtaken and punished. We hope they may be exterminated. The arrows, many of which were sticking in the coach, were pronounced Shoshone arrows. The route-west is doubtless safe now, and will ho so for some time, so that passengers need hare no fears. What Greeley Thought of Abo litionism in 18M. The following is .on extract from nparaph iet published by Greeley & Ob., for electioneer hg purposes in the Campaign of 1844. [From the Tribune Tract.) Wo ore not fond of alarming topics, nor disposed to excite unnecessary anxiety, but the evils of political Abolition rising up in the North must be faced and the conse quences it tends to, must bo considered. However averse the people of the free States may be to slavery, (and wo believe they are almost universally ab.Lyet they cannot but /eel that this remedy of political abolition is worse man the disease ; first because we fear that the medicine, if administered as proposed, will kill both natient and doctor. A Dissolution of the 1/nion would be as certain as any effect of moral cause that can be relied on. Nor is it likely that this would be the end. The political asperities and exasperations that would grow out of such a conflict, would themselves naturally be breeders of other convulsions ; and it would not be strange if some chieftain should rise up in the strug gle to make slopes of all freemen and bind in stronger chains those whom by such means, it is proposed to set free. , Wo are are a family of States, bound to gether by a covenant solemnly ratified, which .proscribed the right of each. In this family., .concord is beautiful ; but family quarrels are live worst of all. Civil war is the most terrible and desolating of all wars and most difficult do bo brought, to an ond. Look at Spain. Will any one say, that such njmovement ns the political AnpLiTioNisTs or the north, does not put in jeopardy the peace of this Union, and the Union itself 1 And can any human foresight tall what scenes of strife it is likely to .produce, if it should be encouraged to pass on its way towards the supremo power of the nation, which is now its avowed aim.

K World that his ninety days are almost up* Ho declared we ought to abandon the contest with the South and submit to disunion if vrti did not overwhelm tho rebellion before the first of May. The time is at hand, and, of course, Mr. Greeley will be os good ns his word, and on the morning of the 2d of May will advocate a recognition of the Southern •Confederacy and an immediate stoppage of the war.
