CARLISLE, PA., JUNE 10, ISG'4.
FOR PRESIDENT IN 1804,
GEORGE B. JI’CLBLLAR.
[Subject to the decision of a National Convention.]
“AMERICAN .VOLUNTEER."
With this nunfbor we commence the fifty*
first volume of the American 1 and
the twentieth since 'it «camo under our ‘edito
rial control. In making this announcement
it gives us pleasure to state that rover since
its establishment, in 1814, by Tvlcssrs. Wm.
11. & James Underwood, has the paper been
in a more prosperous and flourishing condi
tion. Established at a time when party spirit
ran high, it successfully resisted all the efforts
of the leaders of the old'Federal party to crush
it, and from small beginnings it has, through a
series of persccution-a and opposition, at
tained its present very respectable dimen
sions; Whilst the pnrtywhich then opposed
its principles and success has long s.inco been
consigned to the “ tomb of the Capulets,” the
Volunteer has gone on prospering and to
prosper, and at no period of its history has it
been on a more permanent basis than at the
present time, for which the members of the
great Democratic party of tho county have
our most heartfelt thanks.
Fifty years ago! What a mighty change
has taken place in the history of the world
since then! Revolutions and counter-revo
lutions havo followed each other in rapid suc
cession ; nations have risen and fallen, and
dynasties, which once gave daws to mankind,
havo been swept from the face of the earth
forever. ’And what progress has been made
in arts, science, manufactures, and indeed in
every department of human knowledge and
industry 1 And how astonishing has Lion
the progress of the “ art preservative of all
arts”—printing! Typography, then compa
ratively in its infancy, is now perfection, and
the little “ eight-by-ten” sheets (such as the
Volunteer originally was,) have given place
to mammoth.papers which form the opinions
of mankind and dictate laws ’to the world.
It is now nineteen years since we took
charge of the Volunteer, and during all that
lime wo have endeavored to pursue a straight
forward and consistent course, steadfastly
supporting Democratic men and Democratic
measures, and always doing battle for what
wo honestly conceived to be the right. Dur
ing this long period our relations with our
subscribers, both personal and political, have
been of the most amicable and pleasant dc
. Bcriptlon, and with our political opponents
little or nothing has occurred to leave a lasi
ing sting behind. True, in the many politi
cal battles wo have fought, we have given
and received hard blows. We have witnessed
successively the rise and fall of the Anti-ma-
BOnic, the Whig, and the Know Nothing par
ties, and now we are waging a successful
war with tho Abolition party
cratio party of Cumberland county now
stands on a fairer footing aid occupies a
prouder position than it has done for years.
From a meagre majority of 50 or GO, .(and
sometimes beaten,) it now carries the count3 r
by 800, and while we have* health and life
we shall advocate the principles of Democ
racy, which are the eternal principles of
Truth and Justice.
In conclusion, \va tender our sincere thank?
to our numerous friends and patrons fur their ;
steady and liberal support of our paper, and
pledge ourself to make, if possible, the Volun
teer still more worthy of their patronage.

The Immortal “J. N.” — This distinguish
ed “ orator, philosopher and satirist,” paid us
a pop visit on Monday. Other engagements
prevented him remaining in Carlisle at this
• time, but he thinks he will return before
long and edify our people with his views.—
fi The Times thus speaks of the
philosopher:
Last Tuesday evening we had the inex
pressible pleasure of meeting the distinguish
ed ” J., N.,” the “ orator, philosopher and sa
tirist,” whose fame is filling the world, and
whoso almost divine mission is to elucidate
the difficulties now unfortunately existing
between the North and South, and who is
destined to live in the grateful remembrance
of maifkind, when monuments of marble
and-brassshall. have crumbled.beneath the
tread of centuries. “J. N.” explains nil our
national difficulties upon the “ unchangeable
bgsis of truth/* assuming all the “ pressure ”
upon himself, and Volunteers.to incarcerate
himself in prisons and dungeons, that he
may prove to the world that his philosophy
is not mere theory and ward painting.
" J. N.” justifies the North and the .South
both from (ho stand point from whieh they
view it—makes the war a misunderstanding,
both fighting on different ideas, the South
-bat the North intends subjugating them, and
the North that the South is doing this to de
stroy the Government. The great error is,
that each will not conciliate . the other’s
claims.
&SF Do the abolitionists think that a roan's
rights should be respected! -Ye*, if he's
&i»ok.
Tho dav after Mr. Lincoln had been nfln>
inated by his office-holders, shoddyUes ai d
public plunderers, ft committee from the Con
vention waited upon the ‘’ joker” at tho
White House, to inform him of the same.—
Mr. Lincoln a very ,'h 'rt-ypsech in re
ply, as follows :
“ Mr. Chairmen ai.d fientlomcit of’tho'Cmn
mittco.: I will ncithor conceal my j'rntilieii-'
lion nor restrain the expression ot my grati
tude that the Union people, through their
Convention, in the .continued eflort to save
and advance the nation, have deemed me not
unworthy to remain in my present position.
I knowmo reason to doubt that «I shall ac
cept the nomination tendered ; and yet, per
haps,'l should not declare definitely before
reading and considering what if? called the
platform, •'! hove not permitted myself, gen
tlomert, to conclude that I am the best man
in the country, but I am reminded in this
connection of a story of an old Dutch farmer,
who remarked to-a companion once that it
, Tf . was not best to-own p horses when crossing
—Ulnmc si. strcnma .
Tho 'prolonged laughter which followed
this - ■characteristic remark should hp.ve been
heard. ‘lt was tumultuous,”
How dignified and elegant-!, da it not a
burning shame that a man ‘using the above
stale language should stand in the footprints
of Washington, Madison, Monroe and 'Jack
son ? His “ story” about the horse swap, is
as old as'thc hills,-and has gone the rounds
of village newspapers for half a century., but
yet his‘understrappers were convulsed with
laughter whenithie thread-Imre yarn was re
lated by tho “ smutty joker.” Oh, yes, they
are paid for laughing when old Aar. attempts
to say something which he thinks smart, but
which is regarded by men of sense as vulgar
ity. .
There is one trait in Mr. ILincoi.v ’s char
acter peculiar to himself—he can be merry
when the people of the whole country arc in
tears. Just at this time there are few men
who do not thoughtful and sorrowful, for
no one>can toll the fate that awaits us as a
; people, and every day sends 'huridreds -if not
thousands of our brave men into the presence
of a just God. Ah, had Mr. Lincoln* the
'heart and mind of-a statesman, .be would
not occupy* hia time in retailing a'alo stories
to ft set of political harpies, whoso “ hyalty”
■Consists of empty boastings and swaggering
impudence. IVO, no great man, occupying
Mn. Lincoln’s position, c»'uld deal in levity
in a. crisis like the present. But, as wc have
said, ho is ivn exception to other men, and
can joke and tell stories at a funeral. After
McClellan’s light at Autietam, he paid a
visit to the bh.ody field, and before ho had
been there an hour ho called for a song I
He told “ siones,” ton, *,O he walked over
I the field that had been made slippy with the
L best blood of his countrymen. ’JTi-e fact is
ho is adeulor in coarse stale jokes, and thinks
little and cares less concerning the affairs of
state, And this man is President of the
United States- Is id do be wondered at t! ia *
the war goes on from month to month a rid
from year to year ? Had we a man of brains
in his position, hostilities would oca.se, with
a whole Union and a united people. But, so
long as Lincoln occupies place, we can
expect no change for the bolter. Jeff Da
vis, rebel though he is, is nevertheless a man
of great sagacity and coolness. He has no
time to deal in levity, but occupies his mind
with the objects he has in view.
- This war should not have lasted one year,
and it would not, had we had a statesman in
the Presidency, lint wc have now entered
upon the "fourth year of tho bloody strife, and
this fact of itself should satisfy the people
that great national affairs cannot be entrust
ed to the keeping of pigmy politicians. If
the rebels select their greatest statesmen for
responsible positions, as they certainly do,
we too, should do the same thing, and thus
bo able to successfully cope with them. L?t
the people think of these things, and they
will agree with us, we think, that a change
of-rulers is absolutely necessary, if wc desire
to save eur country from anarchy and min.
The Demo-
Ol'ti Police Regulation's, Again.—ln our
paper two weeks since, wc suggested the
propriety of appointing four or six good men
to act as a night police for our town, and
thus protect our citizens from the depreda
tions of a band of villains who are making a
living by robbery. Our suggestion, we are
glud to believe, was well received by all who
feel an interest in tho welfare of the town
and the safety of its inhabitants. It must
bo apparent to every one that our present
police system is defective and affords little or
no security to our people. As a general
thing, the Borough Constable lias too much
other business on hand to allow him to at-
tend to the duties to which he was appointed.
In the town market, recently, a- number of
petty thefts were perpetrated during the two
hours the market was open, A search was
made for the Borough Constable, hut he was
not to bo found ; indeed, we believe he was
out of town. This is wrong—the Borough
Constable should always he in attendance at
market during selling hours. lie should al
so boon the public squares and streets, dur
ing tho thus break up the low
practices that are indulged in by bad men
and hoys. Wo do not liko to complain of
public officers, but really our town is in a
bad condition, and wo must adopt more
stringent measures and have better town
regulations.
Wo have thought that tho town offices how
held by a half dozen men, might, with profi
to us all, bo combined with a police force.—
For instance, one good njan could act as n
night watchman and also hold the office of
Borough Treasurer; another watchman
could discharge the duties of lamplighter,
and so on. Thus, wo would have a good
night police and have the duties of the other
offices discharged,"with a very trifling addi
tional expense. Lot fines bo imposed upon
those who may be arrested by the police, and
Whoso offences have not been too aggravated ;
these fines will assist to defray the expense
ofdho police.
Wo make these suggestions because- wc
feel an interest in the Welfare of our beauti
ful town, and desire to see its former charac-
ter maintained. We have no animosity tow
ard any of our Borough officers, but we do
think that a better system could bo and
ought to bo adopted. As we said in a former
article, let good men bo selected for a police
force, without reference to their politics, and
wo believe all well-disposed citizens will feci
more secure iii their lives and property.
THE JOKER JUBILANT,
GOV, CURTIN'S ■PROUUM.VMN',
We published, two weeks since, i ‘procla
mation from Gov. CbnTiN, calling Upon the
militia of Pennsylvania to organise ‘and be
prepared to answer any call the Government
(that means Lincoln;) may make'upon‘Our
State for additional military-aid.. We sup
posed (wo are not joking now}) that the
M loyal” would at once bo up and doing—
anfcions-and willing to respond to the request
of tho so-called “ soldier*a friend.” It afforded
a fine opportunity to the-“ Union Leaguers”
to show off their “loyalty,” and to convince
the people that their professions wore not nil
wind and empty boastings. A number of'
tho Carlisle Leaguers boast of a- “ military
knowledge;' 7 some of them, indeed, have
seen some few ‘months service—perhaps "not
'Very severe service—-and the Governor had a,
right to expect a prompt response from these
“ loyal” gentlemen. Ho supposed, of course,
thatYficf/ would take‘the initiative at onco,
and organize companies to servo “ for at least
one hundred days.” But, alas and alack!
not a single Union Leaguer in Cumberland
county, that wo have heard of, dms tendered
his services to the Governor—not one I The
•Union Leaguers, however, still talk well;
they say they arc in favor of tho “ last man
and the last dollar” principle, hut when they
arc called upon to go to tho slaughter-field,
they out ingloriously, rfnd they even
make awful ugly faces when called upon for
a big pile uf’ta'Xes.
Tho fact is our “loyal” talkers are consum
mate humbugs. They citiior do not believe
what they ipronoh or they are dissemblers
with weak knees. Just previous to one of
the drafts, some months ago, we almost had
a quarrel with-avery good Republican friend,
on tho subject of the war.' Wo contended
that it was not patriotism hut fanaticism
that would ‘indnoo white men do sacrifice
their lives for the negro ; that war to pre
serve the l.’nion, tho Constitution and the
rights of‘the .people, would be right, proper
and patriotic, but that war to free four mil
lions of thieving slnves.-oqc-half of whom
would become our hands after
we had them, was no pamotisinWhatcver.—
Our Republican ’friend thought different, and
contended that we should give the “ last man
and tho last dollar” to carry out old Aim's
objects, viz—the emancipation of the slaves,
and tlic breaking of things generally. Ho
did i:ot care a hunhcc whether the Union was
preserved or not, hub ho 'did desire freedom
to tho slave.
A week or -so ’after flits 'Conversation The
draft took place, and two of the strapping
sons of our Republican hcgro-cquality friend
were caught in old Aue’s meshes—they wore
drafted! Now, we thought, our disputant
will bo tested. If his sons answer the call
made upon them, then wc will believe that
ho (the -father*] was sincere and spoke the
truth when he contended -for his principle.—
Just as these thoughts -occupied our mini!,
wc heard the clatter of a pacing horse com
ing up street. Wo -looked out and saw our
friend, mounted, his horse foaming and pant
ing for bread). He drew up, dismounted, and
hastened to the bank, where he deposited
$OOO to the credit to the Chief Marshal, and
thus released his sons from the draft! He is
in favor of the "“last naan” so long as /mV
family is not touched. Yes, yes, too many
men preach one thing but act a very differ
ent thing. Had these boys been the sons of
a poor man, they would have had no choice
—no father's pleadings, no mother’s tears
would have saved them. But their “ loyal”
father was rich and they got off. So we go,
and such are men's professions compared
with their actions. Wc repeat, then, irhy
don't our Loyal Leayuera rcsjjond to Governor
Cuktin’s call /
The Fkcmont Movement.—The New York
World, speaking ol tho nomination of the
Cleveland Convention, has the following re
marks;
“We make no pretension to the gift of
prophesy, and must speak with caution.—
Wlmt is certain is, that this ticket is not put
in. the field to he withdrawn. It will go
through the campaign with indomitable spi
rit. it has-a strong hold upon the empa
thies of the most ardent, courageous, and vig
orous portion of the Republican party. It
carries no dead weight; it is not burdened
with the odium of Mr. Lincoln’s unpopular
and disgraceful measures. It has strength
enough to-day to turn the scale against Mr.
Lincoln in at least seven of the States, and it
must gain constantly. All who suppert it at
all, will support it with vigor and enthusi
asm; tho opposition to it will bo tamo ami
feeble. The Republican 1 journals cannot
make open war upon a popular idol, who has
contributed more than any other man to the
growth of their party, who has been its can
didate for tho Presidency, and has been con
spicuous above all others for strict fidelity to
principle. Besides, events may occur during
the summer which will deprive Mr. Lincoln
of all influence except of that questionable
kind which results from wielding tho execu
tive patronage.”
IC7* The Federal military officers and oth
er white dependants of tho Administration
on the Sea Islands of South Carolina" treated
their nigger friends scandalously in tho late
meeting in that region to appoint delegates
to the Baltimore convention. The niggers
arc a large majority of the population of tho
islands, yet only six niggers were appointed
delegates to Baltimore whilst ten white men
were thus honored. Can nigger flesh and
blood and wool stand that ? Is there not
danger of an indigent rebellion of the black
element of the abolition party against the
light-colored element? Has not tho former
element been taught by tho latter element
that it has been denied a condition of equal!?
ty’long enough? Look out, oh earth, for a
“ war of the elements.”
The Democratic National Convention.—
Tliis convention, which is to meet in Chica
go on the Fourth of July next, to nominate
candidates for President and Vico President,
will bo accommodated in a building to bo
erected on the ground where the great Canaj
Convention was held last year. It will bo
ample in accommodation, being six hundred
and eight feet in circumference, and capable
of containing fifteen thousand persons.
JHSyTho notorious Jim Lane recently
said:
41 1 like the way ,this war is being carried
on now. So far ns lam concerned, I am
willing to make this war a permanent insti
tution.”

in the country, that is not willing to do the

GENERALS TllOim AND BIITtER,
faring •flp'ouch in tho U. S. Sonata by
Senator Davis, a few days since, in opposi-
tion ■to the proposition of Abolition Senators
toqvay negro’troops more than white troops
rcfimWcd, ho road a number of letters from
distinguished array officers, all of which 3ep
*rccate tho employment of black men in tho
army in any capacity except that of labOT.—
Tho letters road prove that tho nogro troops,
particularly thoso who had beon slaves, are
iiidulcut, slovenly and dirty. They cannot
take caro of tho rations given them, but
waste moro than they consume. One letter
from an officer says tho slave portion of the
troops in his division would starve to death
on tho same rations issued to white Troops.-
’[’he reason of this is fhrtt white troops are
careful of their bread and beef, tho negroes
waste theirs. Nor are they as reliable as
white troops in battle. The Southern por
tion of them almost invariably become panic
stricken when they are brought face to face
with tho rebels, and in -their disorderly re
treat, demornlizo even those who might fbel
disposed to stand Urn, indeed, they have
no desiro to fight against their late masters—
it is not tho kind of “ freedom” -they bar
gained fur, nor is it tho easy life they for
merly lived. -Such ’arc the conclusions ar
rived at bv tho officers whoso letters Sentitor
Davis read to the Senate during his speech.
And how was his speech answered, and by
whom? It was answered, or an attempt
Was made to anstvor it, : by those two negro
worshipers, Sumner and Wilson of Massa
chusetts, both of whom contended that negro l
trnnps wore superior to white troops in every
thing. In support of'this insulting declara
tion, they read lengthy- letters from a certain
General Thomas, and a certain General Ben
Buti.er. A pair of beauties! It appears
that tho Abolition Senators are always well
supplied with letters from those two redoubt
able Generals. Whenever a word is uttered
in the ■’Senate in opposition to 'negro equality
or a gains! the propriety of employing negroes
as soldiers, op jumps Sumner, Wilson or
Jim,Bane to read letters from B-utler and
Thomas, to prove that black soldiers are more
reliable than white veterans, and that negro
equality is all right. This was tho case a
few days ago, in tho Senate. Mr. Davis, as
we have said, made a speech in opposition to
employing black men as troops, and he for
tified his position by reading letters from old
army officers. In answer to him, letters
from Thomas and Butler wore, as usual,
■ road, in which, of course, the black troops
j were oub'gizcd to tho skies. Mr. Davis re
sponded in a few words, and indoingso. held
up Butleii and T'noHAS to tho gaze of the
country, lie gave a little hit of tho history pf
j these two Abolition ,po ts—those two officers
who talk a great deal about tho superiority
of negro troops. -Mr. -Davis said :
“ Sir, I know something of tills Genera
Thomas myself. I proposed here-two ses
sions ago to raise a committee to investigate
his loyalty. It was denied by this body* 1
was thru prepared to prove that ho was a
relxd sympathizer, engaged and colleagncd
with rebels at the onset of this war; that
there were cannon and other property tor the
jse nf rebels loaded on -a' small craft near
Georgetown, and that lie was apprised of
that property being there and of its destina*
tin i, and ho was invoked to interfere for the
pi r,n>so of seizing that property. .Ho refus
ed to do so, as I was informed credibly, and
as I have no doubt 1 should have proved by
evidence entitled to all weight, until the
property was carried off to seccssia. He
then was a traitor to his Government; he
was a traitor to his country-; -ho was a traitor
to that Government that had given him his
military education and his high promotion
in its armies. But, sir, he became a double
traitor by betraying the traitors with whom
he had linked himself. A man who is once
a traitor should stand dishonored in ihejudg
mcnt of all men ; but a man who is twice a
tnd’or, who is a double traitor, ought to be
scorned and damned to eternal infamy. That
is the position of the witness who is Irero pre
sented.
Sir, I do not believe a word of what he
says in relation to the efficiency of negroes
as soldiers-. As laborers I know it is all true.
From observation I know it is all true. But
this race never invented an alphabet or fig
ures; it has had every opportunity of civili
zation, to a greater or less extent, by contact
with the most refined and civilized nations of
the world, and yet it has never emerged from
barbarism ; it has proved its inefficiency ; its
. physical organization is different and marks
an inferiority to our race in many points, ac
cording to aU the ethnologists of the world,
both those who favor slavery and those who arc
opposed to it. And yet this race has its ad
vocates for a claim to.equality and amalga
mation and miscegenation with the white
race.! Sir, in proportion as this system of
miscegenation goes on it deteriorates the
white race ; and that is the reason of the in
efficiency and degeneracy and premature de
cay of the Mexican powers om the south of
us. It is the great admixture of this inferior
race and the commingling with the white race:
How did the negro troops behave in Flori
da ? How at Fort Pillow? How at all the
points of collission 1 where they came into
contact with the white man m arms on’any
thing like equal terms? I have seen a re
port of their prowess against Fitzhugh Lee
down here in the neighborhood of Richmond,
but that comes from General Butler, as I un
derstand. A gallant soldier, a comrade of
Butler, from bis own State, who entered the
service with him, and who knoios him, pro- j
nounced him to me to be the greatest pol
troon and villain that lie know. I never
hoard of his being at but one battle, except
by his own proclamations—those proclama
tions that ho has -issued down from about
Bermuda Hundred. I will warrant that he
is far off from danger when the storm of bat
tle, with its iron and leaden hail, was hurl
ing through the atmosphere. He was in a bat
tle at Lowell. He has property that ho rent
ed to some gentleman, and this gentleman
employed a man to put some pipe along un
der the ground, and tho mechanic was en
gaged in that work, Butler came along, and
in his insolent, imperious way, cowardly,
(because every base coward is a tyrant un-
tho presence of danger,) inso
lently directed that man how to do that work.
The man wont on and did it in his own way.
lie directed him again. The man looked at
him. Said he, This is not your work; I
am not engaged to do tins work for you,” or
words to that effect, “mind your own busi
ness and Butler kicked him insolently,
01), if a slaveholder, if a southerner had
so acted toward that/stalwart and honest and
brave mechanic, who was there operating
honestly in his vocation, how it would have
called down tho denunciations, and tho exe
crations of some of the pseudo-philanthro
pists of our country I Butler kicked him I—-
In less than no time the old man, sixty-two
years of ago, who was on his back, jumped
up, and in less time than it takes me to tell
it, he had Butler on his back, and ho throttled
him there until ho was about nearly chocked
to death. Ho let him off, and he just skulked
hia tail and marched off. It was the only
battle I ever heard of Butler being engaged,
in personally, and in that one he .was routed,
horse, foot and dragoons.

It was generally understood that the oivc
hundred day militia were intended' to sup*
ply the places of veteran troops hold for the
defence of fortifications, in order that that the
latter might bo sent to the front to strengthen
Gen. Grant. . The following extract from the
Washington ceiTcspo-ndoncc of the New York"
World, tells a different talc;
THE ONE-nVNDUER-D AY MEN.
Washington, Juno 12, —The Northwcatcr'n
militia, who took service for one hundred
days to defend Washington, are in trouble.
They rcceix*c?d nn order to march to the front
.to fill up Grant's depleted columns: Many
demurred ; some regiments threw down their
arms ; they wcic brought up suddenly by an
armed squad, forced to obedience nnd sent to
the Obickahominy.
Hero is another paragraph from' the' same
source nnd of the same date that is worth
some considerationi-
MARTIAL LAW IN tfiTß I’.OYAL STATES!
Do nob be surprised at a declaration of
martial law in the loyal States. You will
have it in three months. If a mob can be
got up iq'New York you will have it at once.
Tho^administration prefers ft draft to Volun
teering* It will bo enforced with severity.
If resisted, then martial law.
Bold Game ’of Speculators. —A bold
game, concocted by speculators in Washing
ton, has just been developed to enhance pri
ces upon trading articles for government
consumption. It appears that the “ ring”
has bought up large quantities of grain, es
pecially oats, with a view to control the mar
ket, the principal object being to compel the
government, which'uses immense quantities
to pay a largo price to these speculators, even
exceeding one dollar per bushel, thus reali
zing a largo sum. The government has de
tected combinations attempting to control the
market in other articles. Of course these
speculators are all intensely “loyal” and go
for “ the last mab and the last dollar” in
prosecuting the war.-
Too True. —Col. Van Wyck, who left 'GW
gross to take command of .a regiment in the
field, was -chairman of a ctfmmitteo to investi
gate the frauds in the Custom House of Now
York, through the agency of which the rebels
were, and have since been furnished with im
mense supplies. After exposing the base
collusion between the rebels and the loyal
official scoundrels of President Lincoln, Mr.
Van Wyck exclaims, “The starving penni
less man, who steals bread to save life, you
incarcerate in a dungeon ; but the army of
magnificent highwaymen, who steals by tens
of thousands from the people, go unwliipped
of justice, and are suffered to enjoy the fruits
of their crime.”
This is the testimony of a Republican.—
Whore is the “ honest administration” pro
mised in the Chicago platform? The office
holders and all that “ army of magnificent
highwaymen, whogn unwhipped of justice,”
can well afford to pass resolutions praising
Mr. Lincoln’s administration long as Lincoln’s
allows “ to enjoy the fruits of their crime.”
Mon in rebellion on the one side, ond a cor;
rupt army of plunderers on the other, unite
in assailing our free institutions, pillars of the
Republic are in danger of being overthrown.
Wo hope there is virtue enough remaining on
the land to defeat Lincol’s reeloction.— Jo7ins
town Democrat.
C 7” The ,Now York Times, the leading
Lincoln paper in Now York, says Ben. But
ler is utterly inoompeto'nt ns a military com
mander, but political considerations induce
the administration to keep him in command.
Are the lives of the people of no account,
that an acknowledged incompetent is permit
ted to slaughter them, merely that Old Abo
may obtain Delegates to the Baltimore Con
vention to renominate himself?

THE WAR;
General Morgdtt, i\ will bo remembered,
divided his forces* ibtotwo columns. One
wont westward through Lexington to Frank
fort. The other 'riiarohed northward from
Paris to Cynthianii. General Burbridgo frith
a force of Federal cavalry, followed the Cyn
thiana column, and General Iloboon, with
two Ohio regiments, endeavored, on Satur
day, to stop its northward march to Cynthi
nna. Morgan fought the regiments and took
them prisoners. They numbered from 1,200
to 1,500. On Sunday morning Burbridgo
came up with the. Confederate rear guard at
Cynthiana, and captured one hundred and
•fifty prisoners. The Utttffl body of tlio Con
federates then marched towards Versailles,
a fow miles southeast of "Frankfort. The
other Confederate colmnn'bcsioged Frankfort
which was garrisoned by one hundred and
fifty men. The fort in which the garrison
shut themselves was twice summoned to
puVrcnder. This Was rcfußbd/ftnd the Con
federates having no artillery, raised the siege
on ‘Saturday afternoon, and ■tfiarehed a few
miles southward to Lawrcnddblirg, near Ver
sailles; Hero the two bodies joined. Their
■progress ’beyond LauTenCbbUrg fe not yet re

Long bridge, of hy any route through Hen

Country possesses Certain positions, powerful
for defense, as wo know to our cost. Leo,
moving on our side of the Chjchahomlny, can

above paper says':
“We have been shown a counterfeit twen
ty dollar United States Treasury note, which
is well calculated’ to deceive. It is printed
on remarkably good paper, though not quite
so thick as the genuine. The one we exam
ined was lettered C: New Scries 7, and num
bered 24,152. The vignette was well en
graved. Tire ends of the note, across which
are the words “ Twenty Pillars" in capitals,
were smeared to lock as if the note had boon
much handled. The back of the note was
scarcely as good as tiro face, the green botnp:
rather pale. The note wap well ’calculated
to deceive, and persons should be careful and
avoid them.

imposing ceremonies. It will continue open

display of the products of the various branch

The Baltimore Nomination.— Tho New
York Tribune accepts the nomination of Mr.
Lincoln, and announces its intention to sup‘
port him, although with evident reluctnncoi
While doing this, it criticises his Adminis
tration ve?y sharply, and says it would have
preferred another man. The Kvcninr/ I*osl
is very severe on his nomination, and does
not commit itself to Lincoln's support.
McClellan to Heir a
N. Y. Herald says: “ From London we are
informed that Gen. George B. McClellan has
,a fair chance of being declared 'heir to tho
personal fortune of the late Sir John Camp
bell, (Lord Clyde,) tho great warrior, who,
it may bo said, won the empire of India to
England, lire family history of the case
shows that the hero of tho Potomac army
stands already well on tho list of heirs pre
sumptive in tho case.”
Loyalty.—Keep it before the people thnl
the Chicago Tribune, a Lincoln loyal organ,
said;
“ Give us a rebel victory, let our army bo
destroyed, Maryland conquered, Washington
captured, the President,exiled, and tho Gov
ernment destroyed ; give us" those and any
other calamities that can result from defeat
and ruin, sooner than a victory with McClell
an as a General.”
Released.— Ex-Governor Medary, of Ohio,
has been pormittcd.to return to hia home at
Columbus, from Cincinnati, where ho had
been hold for some days under military ar
rest. We hnvo not yet seen any definite
statement of the cause of his arrest.
J®* Gen. Grant, it is said, has little confi
dence in the colored troops, and will not trust
them in battle. They are used solely for do
ing guard duty anddho menial duties of the
camp.
