Address
BRATTON & KENNEDY,
tlSf" The “ Boys in Blue” have spiked
Ihe guns of the Jierald most effectually.
The names of the “ deserters" and '■ draft
ed men," which we published last week,
have silenced its batteries of calumnyand
falsehood. It has not a word to say in
self-defense, neither has it the manliness
to apologize to the gallant soldiers of
Cumberland county for the cowardly and
uncalled for insults it sought to heap upon
them. Like Samuel Weller, it is as
‘' mum as a drum with a hole in the head.”
Probably the Herald has learned by this
time that the very respectable young gen
tlemen from Carlisle, who held that nice
little Geauy meeting, are not “ the only
soldiers worthy of the. name” in Cumber
land county, and that tlie hard-listed boys
who bore the brunt of battle deserve some
little credit from the stay-at-home patriots
and ‘‘drafted men” who bought them
selves clear of government service. AVe
called upon the Herald to give us the
name of a single deserter in the list pub
lished by us last week, ami we now reit
erate the demand. AA r e are determined
that it shall do so, or be branded with a
willful and deliberate falsehood upon the
soldiers of Cumberland county. The He
rald. has wisely condoled to cease its
slanders; but wc can assure ourcotempo
rary that the soldiers who attended that
.convention will not be satisfied with mere
silence in regard to the injuries and in
sults of the past.
'•THE CAUCASIAN
Our friends are responding nobly to the
subscription list of the “ Caucasian.”—
Two clubs of one hundred each have al
ready been raised, as well as several clubs
of fifty, thirty and twenty. Prom present
indications the subscription list will reach
several thousand. AA 7 e learn that every
township in the county will have its club,
while our friends iu York, Perry, Adams,
Juniata, and other more distant counties
send us word that t liey are doing some
thing handsome in support of. the enter
prise. Portraits of Andrew Johnson
and HrEsx.EE Clv.mer will appear in the
first two numbers of the 11 Caucasian,”
and other portraits and comic illustra
tions will follow every week. AVe trust
our friends will send in their clubs at
once, in order that our mailing lists may
be completed before Juij'lst.
Jgy* One ei the beauties of the Fi-eed
men's Bureau is sat forth in the following
official communication;
The issue of white sugar to dependent, freedmon
and others was in obedience to an order from
Brevet Brigadier-General If, T. Clark, Ahsbitnnt
Commissary-General, a copy of which Is now on
rile in theofllceof the Depot-Commissary at New
born. North Carolina.
Mery respectfully, your obedient servant,
Isaac A. Roskkkans,
Captain Co. J>„ U. S. V.
Idleness and ” white sugar” for negroes,
taxes, hard labor, and brmtm sugar for
white men, is the programme of the Rad
ical party. The working men of the
Northern States are required to pay mil
lions per year for the support of the Freed
men’s Bureau, and the above extract
shows in what manner “ the money
goes.”
Neither the importance of the subject
nor the personal distinction of the indi
vidual concerned are of sufficient moment
for us to give the entire card of our young
military friend, which appeared in last
week’s Herald. We regret this the more,
because as a model of logical, perspicuous
and grammatical writing it is not likely
to be excelled in any of the juvenile class
es of our common schools. Our space ad
monishes us that we will have to he con
tent with one or two gems, selected at
random.
Hero is a rare specimen : “ To the -pub
lic— if it is desired to know your (that is
the public’s) qualifications for business,
extensive or otherwise ; or whether the
Creator hasgranted.yoa, the man mechan
ical or the man professional, the necessa
ry supply of brains, consult this gentle
man." Of course any school boy of aver
age intellect will see from the construct
ion of the sentence, that “ this gentle
man” can refer to no one else than the
Creator. There are a dozen other speci
mens equally as bad, and scarcely credit
able to a boy in the “ third Reader,” but
wc cannot give them,
Our young friend's familiarity with
Scriptural quotations is as remarkable as
the clearness of his style. He admonish
es us : “ Judge yc, that ye bo not judged.”
We shall endeavor to follow his injunc
tion, and beg leave to suggest an occasion
al perusal of such portions of Scripture as
he may desire to quote in future.
The Captain attempts to refute two of
our statements in regard to the Conven
tion. First in regard to the exact "terms
I used,” and secondly that the Conven
tion was not overthrown "by force.” In
hia last card he says: "It was announced
that Gen. Geary’s friends would have
something to say after Hiester Ceymer’s
ceased with their interruption." 1 u his
first card lie said " the call was for those
soldiers who supported Gen. Geary.” In
fact our young Hercules was” so over
whelmed with the thought that " his
shoulders were not broad enough to sup
port Andy Johnson’s administration”
that he does not know what he did say,
and had better get a little information on
the subject before he appears in print
again.
The following, argument is so over
whelming: that we “ acknowledge the
corn M : “Ft won by force that it upset the
Convention, by such force arising from a
superiority of numbers. * * •• •••• True,
Major Bourheimeu was elected by the
same element f' that is by the force which
arose from the superiority of numbers. —
We trust the Captain will not come at us
with any more such knock-down argu
ments, or we will have to give up the dis
cussion at once.
The young gentleman should not in
dulge in any unkind rejections upon
“ Balaam’s ass/ 1 fur so far as we are in
formed, that historic animal, when it
“opened its mouth and spake,” at least
used good grammar.
One word of advice, given in all the
kindness of our heart. The young man
who is ambitious to appear in print should
remember these three requisites : first to
have something to say ; secondly, to know
how to say it ; and thirdly, to stop when
ho has saiil it. It will be well for him
also to remember that “ five point senten
ces” are better than un pninl sentmoes. —
Until he has become acquainted with
these rudiments, we .sincerely trust his
friends will prevail upon him to keep out
of print.
“ That some were gallant soldiers and
honorably discharged l, I do not deny,”
says the Herald's correspondent. We
have been requested, by a number of sol
diers whose names appeared in last week’s
Volunteer } to ask him to name, over his
own signature, any whose names are in
that list who were not “gallant soldiers
and honorably discharged.”

Carlisle, Penn'a.
AA'hile there were many good men in
the army, many gallant, gentlemanly and
patriotic officers who sacrificed their busi
ness and the comforts of home, there
were others who before tho rebellion did
not amount to enough to add up and give
one to carry. The war was aGod-sond to
them. It took them by the hand, put
bread into their mouths and clothes upon
their backs, and tried to make men of
them. During the war, while others
were at the front daring and dying for
tire cause, they did little else than strut
about iu their uniforms like blue-tailed
bottle-llies. AVe have universally found
it the ease that it is such as these who
sneer at the gallantry of the men who did
the fighting.
Kasji,v Explained.—A man mimed Bratton,
publisher of the Carlisle Volunteer , seems to be in
an especial good humor that Andy Johnson re
moved the proprietor ol the Telegraph from the
postolllce. We can easily explain this. When
the writer of this was attending to his duties ns
P. M„ he discovered this same Bkattox attempt
ing to defraud the postotflce department by en
closing circulars in his paper in direct violation
of all postolllce laws and which he, ns former
Postmaster of Carlisle, for four years, knew was
a direct fraud on the Government. The Harris
burg P. M. did his sworn duty In the matter and
made Bratton pay the penalty attached to such
violation. Since that time Bratton has beeif
dreadfully olfended , although we hold his own
letter acknowledging his just punishment. We
may publish that letter hereafter.— Harrisburg
Telegraph.
Wc clip the above from that dirty little
vehicle of slander, the Harrisburg Telc
yraph. As a misrepresentation and per
version of the facts, it is everyway wor
thy of that mendacious sheet. AVo don’t
know that we have been in either a very
good or a very bad humor over the remo
val of honest George from the Harris
burg Post Office. AVe have not thought
much about it. AVe confess, however, we
always feel gratified when we hoar that
a disunion, vagabond “shoddyite” has
been ousted from office, to give place to
a loyal Union man who can boast of some
integrity.
A word about those circulars which the
argus eyes of the, virtuous George dis
covered iu our paper. Some four or five
years ago, during our absence in the city,
a traveling optician called at our office,
having with him a bundle of small print
ed bills, which he desired to distribute,
by placing one inside each copy of the
Volunteer sent to subscribers. Our fore
man', being ignorant of the Post-office
law, which prohibits publishers enclosing
circulars in their papers, agreed to accom
modate the stranger. Every paper in
Carlisle made, ihc same arrangement with
the optictSh. On our itrrival home, our
P. M. here waited on us and stated that
he had received a letter from the angelic
Beuoneu, complaining of the violation
of the P. O. lm; r by the Carlisle editors.—
A AT at once wrote to tho Harrisburg offi
cial, assuming the not of our foreman,
explaining how it happened that the cir
culars had beep placed In the Volunteer
pompiimenting him (the meek Bergner) 1
A BRIEF REPLY
on his zeal and efficiency, and requesting
him to weigh the bundle of papers that
contained the circulars, ascertain the
amount of postage due on the same, and
to draw on us for the amount. He did
so, and that was all that was of it, and
from that day to this wo never thought
of the matter. We now ask Beuoner to
publish the letter we wrote him on the
subject at the time. By doing so, he will
convince his few readers that his article
above is as mendacious as its author is
mean and contemptible.
While on this subject wo may remark
that it is an almost universal custom for
editors to enclose, in their papers, when
requested, printed circulars. Every day
some of our exchanges contain them, and
we have no doubt that Berliner himself
hag frequently accommodated customers
in this same maimer. But we have nev
er done so, for we knew that' the Post
office law prohibited it, and we could not
be induced to violate that law. Once
more, theh, honest George, an aflTeotion
ate “ good-by." Please send us a lock ol
your wool, and if you desire a " first class
notice” from us at any time, just let us
know, and we will accommodate you to
your rotten heart’s content.
Disunion Slander of tlic Soldiers Rc-
bnked.
At a meeting of the soldiers’ Johnson
and Clymer Club of York, held at their
rooms on the evening of June Bth, 18G6,
Col. Levi Maish, President, called the at
tention of the meeting to the misrepre
sentations of Forney's " Press” respect
ing the organization of tho Club,and oth
er matters connected with the same, and
requested tho sense of the meeting in re
gard thereto. H. Clay Mclntyre moved
the appointment of a Committee to draft
resolutions expressive of the sentiments
of the soldiers on the subject; whereupon
the chair appointed the following Com
mittee for that purpose : H. Clay Mcln
tyre, Wm. E. Patterson, George Bierman,
W. H. Stallman, .las. C. Metzel, Henry
Birnstook, Geo. Odenwalt, Jr., Thomas
Powell, Wm. 1. Beisingeij John Fahs, J.
Wesley Baum, Edward Helfrieh, Lafay
ette Slusser, Jerome Heidler, Franz Kot
tler, Joseph Gleason, Dennis Criminals,
Daniel Laumaster, George S. Frey, Con
rad Keene and Henry 8011.
The Committee retired, and after de
liberation reported the following pream
ble and resolutions:
Whereas, Our attention has lately been call
ed to certain statements originally published in
Forney’s “Press,” and since widely republished
by Disunion papers throughout the country, set
ting forth that “twenty of the signers to the
Johnson and Clymer Soldier’s Club of York have
been dead over one year, and that at least forty
others are deserters and substitutes,” therefore*
Resolved, That wo denounce the above state
ment as a base and impudent falsehood, and
well known to bo such, alike by those who first
coined It, and by those who have since given it
currency : that every name on the list of mem
bers of lids club represents a true and living man
of this borough, whose record as a soldier and
whoso character as a citizen has never hereto
fore been assailed or doubted, and who, if oppor
tunity offered, would furnish to these malignant
slanderers such palpable evidences of their exist
ence nnd true soldierly qualities, ns would not be
likely to bo soon forgotten.
Resolved, That it ill becomes Colonel John W.
Forney, whoso sham military title, accorded by
a wide stretch of courtesy, constitutes the only
connection between ids name and the manly
virtues of a - soldier—who was always found (lu
ring the long years of the war, in places of ease
and safety, distant equally from the privations
ot the camp and the perils of the Held—whose
patriotism was of the kind which achieved fat
oilices and lucrative pay for himself. Instead of
victory for his country's arms; it 111 becomes
him to libel tlie soldiers of the Johnson and Cly
mer Club of York, who rendered honorable ser
vice to their country in the Hold, and many of
whom bear upon their bodies the scars of honor
able wounds received In battle.
Resolved, That we reiterate our determination
to support the Reconstruction Policy of President
Johnson as embodying the only true and practi
cable mode of adjusting our national difficulties
and restoring the Union of these States on the
basis of the Constitution ; and thart we will, with
equal activity, promote the election of Hiestor
Clymer ns Governor of Pennsylvania, in the full
assurance that lie will administer the . Govern
ment as our fathers made it, and zealously co-op-
Presiclcnt 1 us ln sustillnll H? the policy of the
Resolved, That tho proceedings of this meeting
be published In the Age, Dally Nows, and Even
ing Transcript, of Philadelphia, Patriot & Union
Harrisburg, In all the papers of this district, and
in the Democratic papers generally throughout
the State.
LEVI MAISH, President,

The Boys in Black vs. the Bovs in
Blue. —Gen Geary, the Disunion candi
date for Governor, is now the leader of
tho ‘‘ culled brigade,” he has deserted the
‘‘boys iu blue,” in order to take charge
of the boys in black.' He is the candidate
of the Rump Congress which does noth
ing but legislate for the negro, and which
declared the Union to be composed of but
twenty-five Stales. Grant and Sherman,
Meade and Hancock stick to first princi
ples ; they are for the flag with thirty-six
stars upon it and for the Union with thir
ty-six States included within its limits.—
They, also, stick.to the boys in blue and
disdain to lay off their battle harness to
clothe themselves in black to serve the
purpose of office getting. Not so with
Geary. He is for the Thad Stevens Rump
Union of twenty-five States, for the Sum
ner mutilated flag of twenty-five stars. —
He has laid aside his uniform of true
blue, and donned tho black of the Freed
man’s Bureau and the saddle color of tho
Negro Civil Rights Bill. AVhile Grant
and Sherman, Meade ond Hancock stand
by Andrew Johnson, who is the Com
mander in Chief of the Army and Navy
ol the United States, Geary opposes him
and sutlers himself to be used as a tool in
the hands of the Disunionists. Thad.
Stevens is in the interest of the conspir
acy of the Rump Congress against that
noble patriot. There is a direct issue,
therefore, between Geary, the leader of
the boys in black, and the friends of the
patriots who fought for a Union of thirty
six Stales and under a flag of thirty-six
stars, the soldier citizens, the bous in blue.

THE PITTSBURGH CONVENTION.
A Transparent ami Impudent Swindle.
We clip the following from the Pitts
burg Post, which, together with the card
from the delegates of tills County, will
show what a miserable, partisan, packed
Convention was that which recently met
at Pittsburgh intlieinterestofGen Geary.
“ The Soldiers' Convention,” so called,
hold in the Academy of Music on Tuesday,
was without question the most impudent
Abolition swindle ever attempted by that
infamous party. But few soldiers of any
merit were in attendance at it; the great
body of it being composed of bummers
and loafers some of whom on Tuesday
evening displayed their valor in Lager
Beer Saloons by abusing the bar tenders,
and refusing to settle for their beverages.
These fellows,
“ Who never set n squadron In the Held,
. Nor the division of a battle knows
More than a spinster,”
have the inconceivable audacity to speak
for the thousands of meritorious soldiers
scattered throughoutourState. This con
vention was not only an Abolition gather
ing, but it was the genuine Radical stripe,
ns will be seen by the following reso
lution which it passed almost unanimous
ly :
Itesobied, That the loyal majority' In Congress
deserves our gratitude, that radlcalevlls require
radical remedies, and that the nation should take
no step backward in its march to the grand des
tiny that surely awaits unfaltering, persistent ad
herence to the cause of equal freedom.
The drawer of this resolution prefaced it with
a speech. “He said there was not a word in the
resolutions offered by the Committee endorsing
Congress. Soldiers were Indebted to the loyal
members for support, and It would not do now to
go back on those members for Andy Johnson or
any other man.”
But the action of this miserable gather
ing in excluding and insulting Democrat
ic veterans who were regularly elected,
was in keeping with their usurping par
tizans in Congress expelling regularly
elected Democratic Congressmen, fa
order to give our readers an idea of the
I'amy of these Abolition creatures, we
1 direct their attention to the course
sued in regard to the delegation .from
überland, Gen. Geary’s own county,
pursuance of the call for a County
rvention of Soldiers, the meeting took
1;e, and as we learn from the Carlisle
untecr, “ about one hundred and fifty
n the rural districts were in attend
e." “It soon became evident,” says
pu
s
Volunteer i
“To the astonished followers of Sumner and
Stevens, who had expected to have everything
their own way. that out of about one hundred and
seventy delegates prouont. fully nnohumlred and
fifty of them repudiated the nomination of John
W. Geauy, and enthusiastically favored llie elec
tion of Hiester Ceymer. Five delegates were
elected to the Pittsburg Convention, every one of
whom is au ardent supporter of Mr. Clymer; and
resolutions were adopted denouncing the radical
disunlonists in Congress, declaring that, the
Southern States arc entitled to immediate repre
sentation, avowing their opposition to negro suf
frage, and endorsing the policy of Andrew John
son and the nomination of Hiester Clymer,
The delegation elected from Cumber
land county, came on to the Convention,
and here is the way they were treated. —
This is their own statement which we
have in their own hand writing :
In pursuance of a call by Maj. General
Hahtbanw, fora soldiers’ Convention,
the soldiers of Cumberland county met
in convention at Carlisle on Monday, the
28th of May, ISG6 to select delegates to
represent them at Pittsburg, on Tuesday
the sth of June following. There were
in attendance at this Convention about
one hundred and eighty honorably dis
charged soldiers, many of whom had
been veterans, and who selected as their
delegates Captain A. S. Woodbuux, Cupt.
S. C. Wagoner, Copt. W. P. Li.oyd,
Capt. J, A. Graham and Capt. Isaiah H.
G UAitam. These delegates in accordance
with the wish of their fellow soldiers
came to this city, presented their creden
tials to what purported to be a Commotion
and were ruled out in the following dis
graceful manner;
After the temporary organization a
committee of one from each Congression
al district was selected on credentials.
When the fifteenth district, which em
braces Cumberland county, was called, in
stead of reading the committee-men nam
ed by the delegation, the Secretary read
the name of Colonel Spearman, who
was neither named or selected by the
delegation. This committee on creden
tials was chosen by those who seemed to
have the wires set, and who wore play
ing upon them for their own use, or to
the interest of a political faction. When
the committee reported, they gave seats
to a self constituted delegation, thus ex
cluding those whom the soldiers of Cum
berland county had chosen to represent
them; or in other words to those who had
been defeated in the Carlisle convention,
and this for the simple reason that the
bona fide delegates would not pledge
themselves to support Geary runniu
upon a Tiiad. Stevens platform. This
report of the Committee was accepted by
theconveution; the duly elected delegates
were deprived of their seats, without fur
ther inquiry. This, Mr. Editor, is the
action of a party which proclaims itself
the “ soldier’s friends.” This circum
stance fixes one thing beyond cavil, and
that is so far as they can hoodwink and
gull the soldiers they vociferate loudly
in our praises with laudable zeal, but so
soon as the soldier assumes the province
of thinking and acting for himself, they
immediately turn him the cold shoulder
and treat him with insult. The Repub
licans of this State especially, nave play
ed this game ever since the breaking out
of the rebellion, of sailing into power and
position on the hard earned merits of
the soldier, but we think after this last
crowning act of treae hery and duplicity
to him, that they will be ungbje, gveo in
their degenerate ranks, to find men so
lost to every principle of honor and con
sistency as to attempt again the exploded
farce of the “ Boys in Blue,"

It is reported that General Geary
has been made' an Honorary Under-Sec
retary of the Manassas Branch of the
UiiiQh Galaxy, The Galaxy is an aasooi
atlon of freedmon, recently organized in
Virginia for the purpose of securing for
themselves and their brethren a sham of
the patronage of the government, and so
cial and political rights equal to those
possessed by the whites. The General,
of course, cannot append his new and ex
tensive title in full when he signs his
name. It will be sufficient to give the
initials, thus “John W. Geary, H. U
M. B. U, 0,"
Our loyal friends used to talk a
great deal abqut the “ boys in blue /” but
now all their gab and capital seem to bo
invested in the boys in black,
A CIVII, NECESSITY
Oflice holders and- those dependent
upon their smiles, affect to be much em
barosseci to ascertain which side honor
requires them to take in the contest be
tween Radicalism and the President.
Strange that they should misunderstand
the practical workings of the maxim “ to
the victors belong the spoils." Since 1861,
the Republicans have had a just claim to
the enjoyment of office, and moat valiant
ly have' they asserted their right. The
records show that twice as many appoint
ments were made in the civil service under
Mr. Lincoln as had been made by all of
his predecessors. Of this, Democrats had
no right to complain, and for live years
they have patiently “ stood out in the
cold,” and despite the subtle acts of a
despotic foe have gallantly maintained
their principles and their organization.
If the President would assume to dic
tate to Congress whom they should select
to fill the offices at their disposal he would
justly merit and would undoubtedly re
ceive the severest rebuke, and yet he has
precisely the same right to do this that
Congress has to dictate to him the recipi
ents of his official favors. Upon this
subject the Radicals have themselves
settled the question. Who does not re
member that within a brief two years
the Radical shibboleth was, " the presi
dent is the government. Oppose the
President and you oppose the Govern
ment. All men are traitors who do not
support the President.” Such were the
daily utterances of the shoddy loyalists;
Mr. Lincoln himself sanctioned the doctr
ine, and their whole party acted upon it.
The unlawful seizure and imprisonment
of thousands of Democrats have indelibly
impressed upon our minds this doctrine
in all its length and breadth. If then,
Lincoln as President was the Govern
ment,-so Johnson as President is tbe Gov
ernment, and we commend to their lips
the chalice so rudely pressed to ours.
The offices are in the gift of the Execu
tive. If be believes his policy' will restore
the Union and give prosperity to the
whole people, and if he believes he can
strengthen his cause through the offices
at liis disposal, he should at once and de
terminedly use the means the Constitu
tion and laws have given him. Three
fifths of the Republicans are with the
President, but through the controlling
influence of their party machinery their
voice is stifled, they are induced to be
silent by the false assurance that all will
.yet bo healed. They'forget that Andrew
Johnson proclaimed from the steps of
the Presidential mansion, thatTHESB men
“ are tra-itors.” The hour for frater
nization has passed, the breach is irrepara
ble, the separation is final.
Upon the question of re-construction
the Democracy in solid phalanax are
supporting the policy of the President.
They seek none oftheoffices. They have
no just claim to them. They regard the
contest as one of principle—oneof greater
importance was never submitted to the
American people. Its defeat will forever
sink the last hope of our freeinstitutsion,
its triumph will make a glorious future
possible for our noble country.
The influence of office-holders for good
is but slight; for evil they may be all
powerful. As supporters of a measure
they weigh but little; as its opposers they
are always felt. In a close contest, their
opposition may turn the scale. In a dead
ly struggle with ” traitors,” can it be that
the President will permit his office hold
ers to range themselves uflderthe banner
of treason and throw into the breach
against him the influence and position
they hold at his pleasure? Measuring
the vigor of the foe and the magnitude of
the issue, is it not plainly his duty to use
with unsparing hand every means that
the Constitution and laws have cast upon
him.
Under the sway of the Radicals, “ Mu,-
ii'ary Necessity” was held to justify
any violation of the Constitution and laws,
andnow we hold that “ CivilNecbssity”
enjoins the vigorous use of every means
that are vested in the Executive under
the plain terms of the Organic and statute
laws. The union of the States is the life
ol the nation. Let the law of the land be
wielded to preserve that life. The foe is a
dangerous one and must be vanquished.
The disease is desperate and efficient re
medies must be resorted to. Halting
measures will not answer. A clean sweep
must be made. Pretended support of the
President will notdo. Works mustshow
the faith of these gentlemen. They can
not support Johnson and Stevens, they
must love one and hate the other. They
must support the President’s policy, they
must speak favorably ot it, they must
support those who support it and oppose
those who oppose it. Determined, prompt
and energetic action on the part of the
Executive is vitally essential. He can
afford to be bold in sustaining the right.

On Friday last, at quarter of eleven
0 clock, Anton Probst, the fiend in hu
man shape, who coolly murdered the
Bearing family, paid the penalty of his
crime in the jail-yard at Philadelphia.—
There was a mock solemnity about the
execution, which detracted somewhat
from its tragic nature, for Sheriff Howell
decreed that the last act of the awful affair
should bo as private as possible, and the
company present was so select, that even
the criminal could not complain of unne
oessary publicity. High constables of
1 hiladelphia County, counsel in thecase,
tho chief officers of police, and represen
tatives of the press were alike excluded.
The sight of the gallows did not unnerve
him ; indeed, it seemed to affect some of
the spectators more deeply than the crim
inal. He walked up tho ladder with a
firm step, paying little or no attention to
those around him, or to any body, in fact
except his religious advisers, Only once
during the ceremony bad his mind, ap
parently wandered to other things. As
he was leaving his celt, the keeper who
had mainly taken charge of him extend
ed his hand, and said, “Goodbye;”—
“roust responded “ Grood bye,’* while his

composure, he maintained it thereafter
to the end.
Probst was accompanied on the scaffold
by his clergymen, the sheriff, and Mr.
Perkins, Without hesitation, he knelt
upon the drop with the priests, and to
gether they recited the acta of faith, hope,
charity and contrition : the Lord’s nravar

in the German language, the victim re
peatedly kissing the crucifix.
The last act was alone to be performed,
and the tragedy was oyer. Quickly Probst
was handcuffed, and the, noose placed
aroupd his neck. Not amurmur escaped
fils lips, and his eyes barely suffused with
tears were turned to Heaven.
The white cap-was then placed upon
his head, but ho still stood firm ? there
was no trembling, and but the leastaKi

Correspondence of the American Volunteer.
Washington, Juno 11, 1800.
The Senate ordinarily adjourns from Friday
until Monday; but the House holds a session on
Saturday, In order to relievo those members who
are surcharged with pent up oratorical efforts.—
To the eyes of a stranger this day of speech-ma
king presents a novel picture. The hall is rather
sombre, daylight struggling in drearily from the
top, but oven the light of a dull day makes the
gilding glare painfully. Ho observes the two lit
tle flags over tho Speaker’s head,and has taken his
sent before perceiving that a man is on his legs
behind one of those little glngerbread.dcsks, har
anguing tlio House. He can not hear a word he
says, partly because the man docs not talk loud
enough, but chiefly because no one is paying any
attention to him. But few members are In their
seats, and these are busy writing, an exorcise that
they vary with another that somewhat amazes
our friend. He tries vainly, and would like to
catch a word or two of a speech that seems to elic
it such terrible applause, The members are con
stantly clapping their hands with great but not
prolonged energy, at which n'seore of little hob
goblin pages spring about, running as if to re
lieve each surcharged member of] his enthusiasm ;
and our friend gradually discovers that the
hand-clapping is not applause, but a mode of
summoning the pages. He,gazes In bewilder
ment on the Babel before him. The man Is
ing his speech, and docs so from a printed copy,
as if he were paid by the lino for it. The pages
skip about. The members clap their hands. Tb o
more the members clap, the more frantically the
pages skip. People come In and look at the show
with stoical apathy, and then go out again. The
man finishes his reading and sits down. Anoth
er man gets up and commences the same perfor
mance. The members go out, until not over a
dozen of them arc loft. The man Is reading his
speech. Ho does not do it very glibly; he does
not do it ns if lie expected to gain anything by it.
Some humane friend comes to his rescue with n
motion; by parliamentary fiction his speech is
considered delivered, and printed with tlio pro
ceedings, and as many copies as the orator
likes to pay for may he stuffed into tlio glory of a
buffciivclope and franked to a wondering con
• stltucncy in his “ district.” So much for “ Bun
combe !”
It has been rumored for several days that Jeff
erson Davis will he admitted to ball, and the
names of Horace Greeley, Augustus School, Hor
ace F. Clark and Commodore Vanderbilt, of New
York, and others are mentioned In that connec
tion. It is certain they are now in Washington,
and that at least one of them has boon in search
of Judge Underwood, who arrived here several
days ago, but it lias not become publicly known
whether the effort to find him has been successful.
Judge Underwood is a Judge of the circuit presi
ded over by Chief Justice Chase, and hence it is
said an appeal will bo made to both to act con
currently in the matter of ball, and that five gen
tlemen are ready to bind themselves In tlio sum
of $50,000 each for his appearance at the next term
of the court in Richmond. Jefferson Davis Is
held us a prisoner of war and not as a prisoner of
State, as many have supposed. A writ of habeas
corpus, if granted, would bring him under the
control of the Court, in other words, release him
altogether from present military custody. In
this the Government would not interfere, as it
would then be a purely judicial matter, leaving
the Court to determine whether or not it would
release the prisoner on ball without any Interpo
sition by or consulting with the President of the
United States.
Spinner, one of the relics of radicalism in ofllce,
upon inquiry in regard to the value of the notes
of broken National Banks, says that “The notes
of a Nat ional Bank- that has failed are rather bet
ter than those of a Bank in good standing.’' Ac
cording to Spinner’s political and financial econ
omy, it would be better for the country if all the
National Banks would fail at once, as such fail
ure would increase the value of their notes. What
a glorious thing a financial panic would be to the
holders of national currency!
I clip the following from a late number of the
New York Times, one of the leading Republican
organs of the country. It is one of the most con
clusive arguments against the course ol tho Thad
Stevens Disunionlsts that I have yet seen. The
Times says: “Suppose matters to stand in 1808
substantially as they stand to-day—none of the
Southern States represented In Congress. Is it
not reasonably certain that they will all bo rep
resented in the Democratic National Nominating
Convention and that they will choose electors
"'ho will vote for the Democratic nominees?—
Now suppose their votes, together with those of
Northern States that may vote the Democratic
ticket, constitute a majority of the Electorial
College—what will be the result? It may be said
their votes will not be counted. Congress, con
taining only Northern members—the South not
being represented in it—will reject them. Will
that rejection be accepted by the country ? Will
the mass of the Southern people, or the mass of the
Democratic party in the North, acquiesce in it? And
would not such resistance be most menacing to
the peace of the country ? That would not bo an
attempt at sesession; It would bo in no sensea
sectional conflict; It would present to the coun
try and the world the aspect of a majority of the
people insisting upon their right to control the
Govern ment, as against the unconstitutional
usurpation of the minority.”
On Wednesday last, when one of the amend
ments of the Reconstruction Committee was un
der consideration, Mr. Sherman said he believed
Mr. Doolittle’s amendment was right in princi
ple, but he should vote against it because lie felt
it ills duty to sustain the action agreed upon by
his political friends. What a shameless acknowl
edgment is this! Mr. Sherman “ believed it to be
right in principle,” and yet felt himself bound
to vote against it “to sustain the action agreed
upon by his political friends.” The confession
was a frank one, but It betrays an ignorance of
public duty, or an indifference .to it, on the part
of a Senator of the United States, which it Is not
pleasant to think of, especially at a time when
the council in which he sits is intrusted with in
terests of such awful moment to the people and
their posterity as those which engage It now.
It lias been made manifest more than once du
ring the present session of Congress that the
measures ofThaddeus Stevens were as distaste
ful to some of the Republicans on the floor, as
the Insolent harangues with which he introduced
and advocated them. Mr. Raymond, of New
Yoik for instance, has delivered elaborate speech-'
es to show that some of these measures were con
ceived in iniquity, and were hopeless for good.—
Mr. Bingham has done likewise, and so, at differ
ent times, have many others, But when schemes
which they had spent their breath in opposing,
reached a vote, they have uniformly failed to
muster the courage requisite to do the bidding of
conscience in defiance of the commands of party.
The frown of Stevens boa been potent enough to.
coerco their support of measures which his logic
had fulled to convince them were rlcrht. and
which heart and reason alike told them were
wrong. It is Impossible to estimate how many
others, who were unable or did not choose to
speak a protest, felt like their restive, rhetorical
associates, and faltered as they did in the decisive
moment. Caucasian.

Judge Underwood, addressing the counsel h
Mr. Davis —
'Am 1 to understand that that will he satisfy
tory ?
Mr. Reed—Entirely so.
When the court convened on the follotrin
morning, the D.strict Attorney arose and mu?
May it, please your honor, ns the answer oils
government, t.o the anp.Mi.Wm propounded bv v.
Reed yesterday are considered of some
tancc, I have written them out and propoyj
read them to the Court.
May it please your Honor, yesterday Mr. iV,\
Reed, one of the counsel for Jefferson Davis tv
pounded certain questions to tho Court and b
me, which, in the abaceuce of Mr. Chandler, 1 £
that time declined to answer. Mr. Chanclwli
still absent, being, I regret te say, entirely m*
trated by a reeeutsevere domestic
us X promised that 1 would proceed to-day to re
ply to the questions of the leading genileiml
shall.
That gentleman correctly says that an Indirt
ment has been found in this court against bl<
client, Mr. Davis, and asks, “ Ib It to be trledr
“ Is it to be developed ?” or “Is it to be bosks
dcd ?”
So far as I am instructed, I believe it is to U
tried, but it will not be possible to do so at pro
cut, for a variety of reasons, some of wliichlwl
proceed to give.
In the tirst place, Mr. Davis,falthoiigh indlcld
in this court for high treason, is not now and
never has been in the custody of this court,te)
is held by the United States government as i
State prisoner, at Fortress Monroe, under aa
order of the President, signed by the Secretary
of War.
In the second place, even if Mr. Davis were is
the custody of this court, it would not be possible
for the Attorney-General, in view of his numer
ous and pressing engagements at tbe close of tht
seession, to come here and try till* case of gee*
national Importance, nor could hehttcxpccled!:
do so.
In the third place, if Mr Davis ik in the delicate
stuxo of health suggested by Mr, Reed, It wonJl
be nothing icaa timu cmoi at tiiia iiot and un
healthy season to expose him to the unavoidable
fatigue of u protracted trial, which appears IoU
an inevitable result irom the array of coimal
present and prospective engaged for his defence.
Neither this court nor any of Us olUcers ban
any present control over the person of Mr. Dart,
and until they have become impossible for ill
District Attorney to say wnen he will be tried
lint 1 assure me gentleman who represent &
Davis here that the moment he comes into to
custody of this court they shall havelUbad
prompt notice when it is intended to try lilm
rio far as the District-Attorney and his ussociata
are concerned, they may feel assured that tit
case will have a Just and speedy trial, without
further barrier, lot or liinderaace. Tins I say ft
the special department of the court wlucli 1 rep
resent; but want the intentions of the govern
ment are in regard to the disposition of Mr, Dart
I am no furrther instructed than 1 have said.
1 now move, may it please your Honor, that tba
court as soon as me business before it la disposed
of adjourn until the lirst Tuesday in October
next. By that time most of the heat of summer
will have passed away. Tne weather will low
be cool and pleasant, and should we have lie
pleasure of seeing again these learned gentlemen
they will be more luted for the arduous label
which their profession constantly imposes upon
them, In the meantime the “ chrystilhauoi
process,” refrred to by the learned genuenuj
yesterday, will be going on, and Ills client mJ
oe enjoying the Cooi breezes of thosea atTortrea

atmosphere of a crowded court-room.
Mr. James T, Brady, of New-York, one of tw
counsel for Mr. Davis then said;
