According to the Aboli tion papers, the war is now “ about being wound up,” with all the concessions and “ glorious results’* I hat the mostrahid of that rabid (action of fanatics and Jacobins .could doAio. But’ to use n hackneyed phrase, wo * f can't sec it,” nor have wo the least confi dence in the predictions and saying* of tho blind demagogues who manage, or rather mismanage, our national affairs. Xo man, not even tho wisest, can conjeetuic what is before us, or what in to bo the fate of our distressed and distracted country. There is only brio thing that appears ccrtitln„ and which any one can predict with entire confi dence, and that is that stealing, robbery and viilainly is to go on as usntil, and that Loyal Leaguers ami loyal thieves will continue to coin money out of tho blood of men and the tears of women. The Abolition papers say “ wo are now approaching a speed}’ and last ing peace.” And what authority have they for making t’i is declaration Why, answers one, “ Seward snvs ro. anj he ought to know.” Seward ! Ood help us when wo haio to look to Seward for anything hut downright fooli-dine*?. Formorlv Mr. S. was considered by some a man of mind, but since his conncctiongyvith the present, bungling, unstable and«tfe\ i:i! ing administration, ho acts ami speaks and Whites like an insane person. Indeed, he apnea’s almost as weak in intellect and as unfortunate in his predic tions as Lincoln himself. It will bo remembered that when this frat ricidal war broke out, Srw.AnDmade a speech in Washington in which 1«# said that “the’ contest might last ais.ty days." After that he again predicted that it would “ end ni'-ido <>f six months." Thou again, at Gettysburg, last summer, lie said ho had “ a presenti ment and felt sure that it would como to a ch'Sp, vviih a restored- Union, before the end of nine months," But all these wise proph ecies have proved fal-o ; Oie war goes on, and to show that tho administration has no con fidence in its speedy termination, we have only to rominl the reader that old Ann hm ordered another draft for “onfi.OdO no re I" That don’t look like a cessation of ho«*t ililie-R “Aye, but 5t ilocs." say many very " loyal" * stay-at-home Ab.dinonßls. “ These nOD.OOO are to break the ba'-k-bniie of the rebellion ; the rebels are on (heir last legs ; one rlTu-t more with a powerful arrnv. and tbo content is over fovrwe’*. These obO/'OO additional troops wi'l do litr; b-.v-uness, certain, and they will see the end and be at tho funeral," they add. Perhaps sn; we hope nur Abolition wiseacres may. for once, be correct in their conclusions. But yet we have our’misgiv ings. These same prognosticators have de ceived the people so often by this kind of langr.age, that wc feel a contempt for their opinions. At the commencement of the rebellion, 75,- 000 men, our authorities told ns. would be sufficient to conquer the south. But the nin compoops at Washington found themselves wofully mistaken in their estimate of South ern strength. Then 64.748 more men were called. Still wo cjuld not make headway against the enemy. Then “to crudi the re bullion at one Mow," 500.h00 troops’were called (or and I'urni'die 1. ILit oven tins addition to our army did nut give us the victories the people had anticipated. Then “30'i.MlO inure" troops were asked f»r; then a draft for dMbO'id ; then another draft Mr MMuplOd; ami nd\v wo have still another draft fur “ mure."' ma king in all over two million;, of troops, ex clusive of the nary, that have been fur pishel to President Lincoln .since the Idlli of April, ISO I! And now we ate again toid that no rmp-e men will ho needed—that this last call for odU.UOO, were wanted “ to attend the funeral of the rebellion." Who believes such twaftic? We venture to say manlier draft will he ordered before tho 4th uf duly. Mark what vre sav. “Loyal" Slave Dealers. —Loyal substi tute brokers and recruiting agents arc steal ing negroes at the South to sell as soldiers at the North. M h}' shouldn’t tli ey' ? “Is he not a, brother? * Too Lou twillc Informs us that this nefarious business is en gaged in by men who have no higher motive io view than pocketing the money for which' they sell the negro when once they have.him in their clutches. Fur a small amount the victim of their rapacity is induced’ to run away, and then he is taken to those Aboil tion localities whore patriotism has found its lowest level, r.nd where the bounty has reached its highest point, and there the ne gro is disposed of to the highest bidder, the kid-nnpper pocketing the most of the pro ceeds. What a Statesman is Lincoln !—"Writers and political speakers are in tho hahlt of quoting grout truths from the sayings of statesmen. Ileroaro some extracts from Lin coln's writings they are taken from his an nual messages to,Congress I L‘d anv man read them, even tho most ignorant and un educated man, and then blush fur his coun try: “It is easier to pay a small rum than it is to pay a larger one."— A. Lincoln. “ It is easier to pay a ilebt when you liave the money than it is when you Imvu’t got the money.”— A. Lincoln. “I am not a great man.”— A. Lincoln. “War anouid not ho looked upon as an alarming evil by any moans.”— A. Lincoln. •‘Xohudy’s hurt.”— A. Lincoln. “ The crime of silence is what I fear.” A. Lincoln. EL/” President Lincoln’s Amnesty Procla mation has been printed in nil the papers of the South and scattered in extras among the people and the soldiers. The rebels consider it tiio best document for their cause 'that has yet been issued—and so it is. Like, the Emancipation Proclamation, it "fires the Southern heart,'’and turns rebels into de mons. Mr. Lincoln is doing all he .can to advance the rebel cause.

The imbecility of the administration —that is tho answer to j tho question. According to tho Jacobin pro-t gramme as laid down by Mr. Lincoln, the war can never end. ( Ui9 emancipation Proc lamation JeitDavis fifty thousand bay onets when his traitor cause was sinking.— Tho Confiscation act gave him armies when ho could not have got armies by any other means. The Abolitionists have all the de partments of the Government; they have an arrnv such as the son has never shone upon ; they have abundant resources, and ty*n grind out as many millions of gftjcn-backs as they please, and yet they cannot put down the re bellion. Why? Simply because they don’t want to end it. They desire to use tho army_ for political purposes.. llj who cannot see this is cither n fool or a knave, or belli.— ~ Lincoln would not end the war, with a whole Union, today’, if ho could. Politics and the negro are the gods and we toll j tho people again that this war will never J come to a close so long as Aukaiiam-Lincoln directs at the White House—never! During a debate in the U. lb Senate re cently, Senator Richardson of Illinois, ad dressing his words to that hid man.

But, sir, wo ad pt a little dilieront p-'liey ; -uppo-.e that instead of pursuing this policy that has dune so much mischief we turn our attention to another.— We have tho lights of history thrown along our path, in;l ns ho instructed hv them.— Let ns proclaim to those people real nmiid-iy not such as has been proclaimed hv Mr. Lincoln—and give them six nr nine months to accept it, and limit the time of its opera tion. Do that, and this diliicuhy will hi*set tled very speedily. Open some door to those men who have gone into rebellion hv which they can escape from tho position which they are in. and they will retire from it very soon. My opinion is that-if the President o( the United States had proclaimed universal am iie*ny at any time within tho last eighteen months, this war would now he over." A Mard Hit at Soiinn my,— During are cent debate In the U. »S. Senate, in rcfcr'vee to the nfeal'ing and cornirdion in the X.nv Department, Mr. 11.m.e (IMpublican, . f X.

The people “ want tiio wpr prose cull'd villi energy," hut It lias Lot been and never will he thus under the wretched bunglers now at the head of affairs. They do not want it to end ; (hey would no; end it to-day if they cmild. They desire to go on “filching from the public Treasury" for several years to come, Their conduct amounts to a couspirac}’, and the people, thank Clod, are at hist opening (heir eyes aild discerning thn real objects of our J..cobm ruler?. Cute ! —The Administration is making r«nily for the Presidential campaign. Their find work is to prepare the army for their puiposo. It is announced that a hill fur thn purpose has been prepared by the House Military Committee, which is to retire from service all general officers who fdmll hove been unemployed for three months prior to March 15th. This is one of tho-o brilliant designs, which the RopuLbcan ostrich think is inscrutable, hut which is evident enough to all the world. Thin brilliant maneem re Is to remove at one blow an opponent and a ri val, McClellan and Fremont. What n iiapp\’ thing it is for tho country that, with a war-of tho present magnitude on hand, they can find time such ingcnniiv. DCF - Tlio p'diticaPiriends of the AdminD tratiun prate continually about freedom, and yet they fear freedom's grenU-ftf safeguard fi cc, open discussion before tho musses, \\ hen they first began to discuss the im-rils of slavery, they declared that the system must bo evil because it shunned and feured public .discussion. Now thi?^argu ment re coils upon their own bends. Tho acts of this administration must bo evil because it shuns and fears public discussion. Good and hon est men love the light of day. none hut rogues skulk iiTthe thick mantling darkness of the night. Hypocrites .may prato- and brawl, hut ho is tho true friend of freedom who stands immovably in defense of its great bulwarks. Some Difference.— The Salem Advocate gives tiio following incident showing the dif ference between white men and negroes: ’"Last week in the Methodist Church a collection was taken up for the runaway ne {,-ies by an agent of the “ Redman’s so ciety," amounting to twenty dollars and a half.” A few evenings afterwards, a collection for the benefit pf soldiers’ families and desti tute white people, was taken up and wo are told the magnificent sum of six dollars was raised.

Tim carriages were raved, but sis horses perished in the flame,i. THE U. S. SENATE—-IiUCK, VEBOUCL The entire time of tlie U. S. Senate, day in and day out, i 3 occupied in tho same kind of legislation. Below we give the proceed ings' for Saturday last, which is a ftuVsam pic of the daily doings of that body of crazy fanatics. “ Our colored brothorn” is the burthen of their song every day.

Wo copy tho entire Jav’s proceedings from the Globe 1 On motion if Mr. WILSON .(Mass.) f.he Senate preceded to the consideration of the bill equalizing the pay of United States sol diers. Mr. SUMMER offered an amendment, pro viding that in cases where tho Secretary of War Shall be satisfied Unit persons of color 'have been mustered into tho .service at tho rate of $l3 per- month, they shall bo paid at that rate for previous services. Mr. GUIMLS (Iowa) hoped that tho Sen ator would withdraw his proposition, and that from this time forward every soldier, whatever might be his .* dor, may receive jhc same pay; and i( any.abuses nr acts of injus tice arise they could bo remedied by subse quent legislation. lie hoped that the bill ini'-hl be allowed to stand on its merits with out making ii rotrespemive.

Pruirio'wolf was shot in Berks county last week,. Trouble In The abolition Camp. Opposition to Uncle Abe.— -The follow ing extracts from Abolition papers show that tho current of opinion in that party, docs not run entirely in favoy of tho ro-clcction of Mr. Lincoln. Among tho Gorman radicals of tho West and tho extreme Yankee schools everywhere, the opposition to him is uncon cealed’and out-spoken : Tho Albany Statesman, tho most ultra of the Republican press, confess that*' the proud and numerous party which was represented in the convention at Chicago, 1.0 longer re tains an existence. It has been dissipated by tho action of its chosen head. Tho ad ministration, therefore, stands in tho anoma lous and painful position of having no organ ized political support ontsido tho circle of its. own office holders and retainers—a very noisy hut by no means controlling faction.” It points out tho causes of this dissolution as follows: I “ A pack of sharks, ItungryV-villanious and incorrigible, have fastened upoh tho pubhe Treasury Qiid depleted it at the rate of mil lions montlily; that thopatronago of the Fed eral government has boon bestowed upon those with whom the doctors, if allowed an exercise of choice, would have absolutely re fused all dealings until high places of trust are Ircld hv known and convicted cormorants, and men drive fast Imrscsand live in free-stone houses t urohased witli United States green hacks, who ought to be pegging shoes in Slate prisons.” Tlie Washington correspondent of tho New York Commercial A'lvcrliser writes : i‘ On tlio part of tho radical Emancipation ists one can but hoc an increasing desire to nominate (lov. Chase, Senator Sumner. Gen. from'mh, or some other representative man of their own stamp. They declare, in Oon grosf* nndront of it, that Mr. Lincoln-lias shown deplorable hesitancy in meeting the great question of emancipation, which now underlies nil other questions. His proclama tions, so reluctantly .made, are not sustained hy any constitutional provision, and can lie revoke,! hy him to-morrow, while their ‘excep tions’ impair their value. In short, it is ev ident that Mr. Lincoln cannot count upon miiiiv who have been reckoned as foremost among the supporters of’ liis administration. ■” Tho Spiiii of the Times talks sharply, even ; nsu!tingly.

Banks does not mince tho matter. He cool}’ destroys the Constitution and delib erately av..ws it. In his proclamation l.e audaciously prescribes a qualification for vo ters without which no citizen shall he allowed to vote, however qualified under the Constitu tion and laws of ihe State. All are to lie dis franchised, whether loyal or disloyal, who will not take Mie prescribed oath c.dls upon his voters thus qualified to hold a Stare elec tion, and tells them what officers, to elect Without the least regard in thoio respects ml the State Constitution—designates the time and place for holding the elections— declares that the persons then ami there elected shall he. for the time being, “ the cn:it i/ncc.rnmml of the Shift;’* —commits tin* registration of the voters to the “ Milita ry Governor ami tho several Union Associa tions”—announces to iiis voters, that “’ar rangements will bn made, (hy his order of course) for an election uf members of C'in g.css for that .State”—announces' to them, that an election fur delegates to a state Con vention will he held on the fjr.«*t Monday of April next, for the purpose of so altering the State Constitution as to make it, ns wear.; in mockery fold, “ conform to the will of the peo> tells them ho will hoi en£fcr announce *’ the basis of representation, the number of delegates and tho details of election.” To cap the climax of these ursi mptions of power overstate voters and State-institutions the President, through ins Major General, declares certain portions of the Constitution and laws ofLouisiana "inoperative aUd void.’' 'Vhat, but tho wanlonness of power could dictate .such adeclar.ation as this.

It appears a switch had boon turned aha the usual signal, the waving of a lighted lamp, made by the raiders, ns the train ap proached, The signal caused tbo engineer to stop the engine. The train wag then'sur rounded by the raiders and a number ofann ed men entered the ears. The passengers, among whom, Of course, there was great con setrnnlion, were more or less mulced in the shape of ransom. Somp„ pVpdncrd green backs, others watches, “while several reluc tantly gave diamonds, rings or breastpins, as cqivolents for their personal liberty. Wo arc .informed by one of the sufferers, who returned to Ibis city by express train, that reached bore from Wheeling at noon yesterday, that the aggregate amount of nionj ev taken from passengei*o was not less than $30,001), while the value of the jewelry was also considered large. Several members of the Maryland State Legislal urr, delegates from the Western Coun ties, were aiming the passengers —but on the occasion, are represented to have been qilito taciturn afi to their official positions. Their •greenbacks and watches are said to have formed a part of their bootv. It was nbo stated that several Federal officers and sol diers were on the train, but fared no worse than their fellow-passengers. After the raid ers accomplished their purpose, they ran the locomotive and tender off the track causing some injury to the engine. They then left ■the train, going through the fields, in the di rection of .SinitMield, a small village in Jef ferson County, Virginia. Although a company nf Federal troops were stationed within a short distance of where the train was stopped, none of the pas sengers or employees 61' the road were ena bled to get any information'll) them, until all hope of capturing tJie raiders had Vanished. The scene inside the train af'er the a Hair as staled by an eye-witness, was mournfully ridieulous, as certain of the passcMigers would bring forth from u hiding jilaee, various amounts of greenbacks, or other valuables, which they saved from confiscation. Cong a‘- ulations and merriment wmld ensue, uoich liowcver, were from lime jo lime well balan ced by impreeautions and mournful announce menlr. nf loss on the part of others, The whole affair, indeed, Is a, strange and novel cue.

The robbery of the affrighted passengers was very general ; not one ot them escaped losing something. One man is said to have Inst over lour thousand dollars in greenbacks. Ibe passengers made no resilience, suppo sing they were surrounded by an overwhelm ing force of rebels. A good many of them throw their watches, jewels,'ami money awav, some of which have since been found. No insult was offered tu the ladies, and no attempt to make any one a orisonep. Neither was there any effort to burn or destroy the train. The deed was cmniuitcd almost in sight of a otrong Federal encampment.
