With this number we commence Hie fjfU/.third. volume of the American Vol unteer. Xu announcing this fact, it give us unfeigned pleasure to state that never, since its first establishment by the Messrs. Underwood, has the Volun teer been in such a flourishing and pros perous condition, and with the most flat tering a continuance of that prosperity. Established at a time when our country was engaged in the second war of independence, when all was gloom and uncertainty, and when our financial affairs were in a perplexed condition, the new paper received a cordial support from the honest, yeomanry of Cumberland county, and soon secured a sound and permanent foothold. From that time until now, it has been the recognized or gan of f ile Democracy of this county, and in its advocacy of democratic men and democratic measures, it has been as fear less and zealous, if not as able, as any other journal in the Commonwealth. Under some of its former editors, its fame as a devoted champion of true Democratic Re publican principles was wide-spread, and the'ability with which it battled for the rights of the people and opposed all odi ous monopolies and usurpations of power was proverbial. In its opposition to tyr anny, corruption and plunder, it was a faithful sentinel when many were faith less, and in the encouragement and sup port of tlie people it has had its reward. Of the many journals which were con temporary- with it, advocating every shade of political opinion, it has survived them all, with the single exception of the Carlisle Herald ; and while the Register, Whig, Syirlt of the Times, Gazette, Acfi’i ser, Expositor, Republican, Statesman, American, Democrat (merged in the Vol unteer,) and two or three German papers, have been consigned to the “tomb of the Capulets,” the old Volunteer has weath ered many a storm, political and finan cial, and now stands where it always did, the champion of the Constitution and the fearless exponent of the true principles of our Government. Within the last fifty years there has been a great revolution in the art of prin ting, many important improvements hav ingbeen made, both ns regards typogra phy, and machinery, and also in the manufacture of printing paper. With all these improvements the Volunteer has steadily kept pace, haying been from time to time enlarged and otherwise improved. At its birth, and for some years after, like all bantlings it was of exceeding small dimensions, and was termed by its ene mies, “the little blue sheet.” It has, however, outgrown these Imperfections, and in size, mechanical execution, and general appearaneelt is second to no jour nal in this section of country. ')■) It is now twpffty-one years since the senioreditoi- took charge of the Volun teer, and during that time hs circula tion has hepn steadily increasing, until, under.-the ina'nagpijienf of. Bjiatxon ■&-. Kennedv, it has a larger circulation and jyiolds a wider influence than was ever enjoyed by any paper In the county.— Under the control of its senior editor, the Volunteer has aided in fighting many gallant battles, in which our party was oftimes victorious, and we are safe in say ing that those victories were never abus ed, nor the power thus obtained ever pros tituted to unworthy purposes. Although* the Democratic party, through untoward circumstances, has sometimes been in a minority, and its prospects looked gloomy enough, we have steadfastly adhered to its principles and fortunes; and while we gave,a cordial support to all just measures emanating from the party for the time being having the control of the Govern ment, we have been bold and open in our denunciation of all Usurpations of power, of every unjust and oppressive measure, and of the least deviation from the letter or spirit of the Constitution. In conclusion, we will add, that here after as heretofore, tho Volunteer; will. be found on the side of the people, bat tling for their rights and sustaining their interests, believing as we do, that the principles and measures of the Democrat ic party tend directly to tho elevation of the masses, and to theperpotuatioh of free Government. With that party we are willing to “sink or swim, survive or per ish,” believing that when the names of the traitorous majority of “tho present. Congress shall he remembered only to he execrated, the principles of the fathers of the Constitution will again shine forth in ail their pristine splendor. THE HERAI.ft’S AJPOEOWY, The Herald, after two weeks reflection concluded to make an apology for its slanders on the Democratic soldiers of this county, who met in Convention, at Bheem’s Hall, on the 28th ult. In Its last issue, therefore, somebody makes, a lame attempt to screen the author of the obnoxious article that appeared in the Herald of the Ist inst. In thatarticie the soldiers composing the majority Conven tion were spoken of as “ disorganizes,” 11 drafted men. ” and “ deserters. ” A gen tle hint from some of the soldiers thus stigmatized, may have assisted our neigh bor to make up his mind that an apology of some kind was necessary. His preten ded amende honorable, however, is a wretched attemptto escape responsibility. We are told by the Herald that the of fensive article was the production of one, and the apology offered is the production of another. This is one -way of getting out of a scrape, but if we know the sol diers who were slandered, they will re quire something more from the Herald than has been offered. It has been too long tire habit of certain scribblers to speak disparagingly of soldiers who refuse to worship before the black idol of the present day. They must stop it, or take the consequences. Soldiers who bore the brunt of battle will not permit those who bought, themselves clear of the draft, to denounce them as “ deserters,” “bounty- jumpers” and “ disorganizers." These were the epithets applied to some one hundred' and sixty Cumberland county soldiers, by the Carlisle Herald and the Harrisburg Telegraph. The Herald, then, if It desires to take back its base, infamous and dastardly 50 4 50 .. 800 .. 10 50 . 15 00 . 25 00 slanders, must be more explicit than it has been. It will not do for one to write a slander, for which another offers a lame and carefully worded apology. What the soldiers who were maligned want and de mand, is a retraction as broad as the slander. They want no quibbling, and will have none. Mark that, Mr. Herald. Our neighbor,-for the purpose of attrac ting attention from his position in refer ence to the soldiers, copies two articles— one from the Democrat and the other from the Volunteer, of Sept. 1804, in which we and our cotemporary proved beyond dispute that President Lincoln’s Eman cipation Proclamation had put an end to voluntary enlistments. The Herald would like to make it appear that we spoke tauntingly of those who enlisted and received large bounties. No man of sense will attempt to thus construe our remarks. Wo said then and we say now, that tluf young men of the sub-districts were forced to do one of two things—ei ther enlist and receive the large bounties offered, or,-failing to do that, submit to Lincoln’s odious draft. We remember very- well, when, in 1804, two y r oung men of Frankford township, called on ns and told us they were going to enlist. “ What else can we do?” they said. “If we en list now, we get $6OO bounty ; if we don’t nlist, we are sure to be drafted, and will get no bounty.” They did enlist, made first-rate soldiers, and one of them was killed. These were not voluntary enlist ments. Lincoln’s Proclamation stop ped all that, for Democrats were opposed to it and regarded it impolitic if not trea sonable, and the “freedom shrlekers” could not be kicked into the army, for most of them, like the Herald men, had paid $3OO to escape thedraft and military duty. Carlisle, Penn'u. J)®" The.seujor editor of this paper can have no controversy with the popinjay whose nonsensical effusions appear in the Hcralfl over the signature of “J. D. Adair.” We never could find pleasure in harpooning insects. We had nothing against this young man; indeed, we en tertained a kindly feeling toward him, and felt sorry to see him place himself in the pitiable position he has. We advise Johnny to attend to his books, or put himself down to some trade or lawful calling; writing for the public press is about the last thing he should attempt.— Notwithstanding his low and uncalled for personal allusions to ourself, we can afford to attribute them to youthful indis cretion and a chronic impudence, “ Roys will be boys,” said somebody, and some boys punish themselves by their indis cretions. During the present political campaign we expect to be engaged In controversy, but we will select our adver saries, and we assure “ J. D. A," he will not be one of them. We cannot aflbrd to waste powder on chjppies when there are pigeons In the woods. Wc heartily endorse the following advanced suggestion from the Patriot and Union , As the Pittsburg Geary Convention reprei’nnted only pw.ttslans end a portion of the returned soldiers, we would suggest that no effort bo made to “divide their counsel ” but, Instead, let the remainder of the honorably (HaGligrgeil soldiers of the State (a largo and uallupt bjjinl by the way) arrange convent tons in evert / county and elect delegates la a grand Johnson Oi/VMEir I?k»ksy]> vania Soldiers Convention, to bo held, say, la Harrisburg, at an early day.

Let thers ho no hoodwinking, as there was In tho Geary affair, which was secretly ar ranged for oeary,' wimp the fact was publicly Ignored. TENNESSEE—MAGNANIMOUS Tlt.VDi During the rebellion the State of Ten* nessee remained true to the Union cause. She furnished more troops to the Union army than any other State of the same population. With the brave General Rousseau at their head, the troops of Tennessee fought on many bloody fields. Occupying this position, the Republicans, in their last National Convention, select ed a Tennesseean as their candidate for the Vice Presidency, as a complimentrto the people of that State. No one ever pretended to say that Tennessee had even winked at rebellion, or ever faltered in her devotion to the Union cause. Notwithstanding that this was the po sition occupied by Tennessee, the Rump Congress has refused her duly elected members their seats in that body, and that State, like the ten other Southern States, is without representation in the councils of the nation. By the decree of Thad.|stevens’ star-chamber cabal /of fifteen, Tennessee is “ left out in the cold,” with no privileges whatever except the privilege of paying her proportion of the National taxes. A State that was suffic iently “ loyal” to furnish the Republi cans their candidate for Vice President, is denied a representation in the Rump Congress! Many leading Republicans felt shocked at this injustice and arbitrary scoundrel ism, and they plead with Stevens to per mit the members of Congress from Ten nessee to take their seats. “It looks strange,” they said, “to see a Tennessee an occupying the President’s chair, when her representatives are refused their seats.” “Do, Mr. Stevens,” they ad ded, “permit these legally elected mem bers of Congress from the President’s own State, to participate in the legisla tion for the country. Refuse the ten oth er States admission if you will, but please permit Tennessee to come in.” Even Forney, reckless and shameless as he is, put in an . appeal for .Tennessee, and through the columns of ins degraded “Press,” begged Stevens to permit Ten- nessee a representation in Congress.— Stevens, as if annoyed at these appeals, consented, reluctantly, that Tennessee might come in, and therefore, a few days ago, offered the following resolution in the House: He it enacted, That the State of Tennessee may be admitted to representation in Congress, and her present Senators and Representatives, if found to be didy appointed, elected, and qualified, may bo admitted to seats on taking the required oath; Pro vided, That unless the said State of Tennessee shall, before the first day of January next, either by legislation or constitutional provision, en franchise all classes of her citizens, and extend the right of suffrage impartially to every class, and shall give to every person within her jurisdic tion an equal standing in her courts of law and equity, both as suitors and witnesses, and shall ratify the amendment to the Constitution, Arti cle 14, proposed by this Congress, then the pro visions of this act, so far as they relate to the State of Tennessee exclusively, shall cease and become null and void, and the said State shall no longer be represented in Congress. There! Such is the Stevens resolution, Tennessee may be admitted to represen tatiou in Congress, provided she consents to confer the right of suffrage upon her black population! Let Tennessee,.like Pennsylvania, refuse the ballot to the negro, and “ the said State shall no long er be represented in Congress!” Magna nimous Stevens !—how Tennesseeans will bless you for your manly vindication of their rights under the Constitution. — How eagerly will they accept the condi tions named in your resolutions! Negro-suffrage and negro-equality then, are the issues before the people. The Southern States can all bo admitted, and even general amnesty added, provided they prove their “ loyalty” by granting the ballot to their ignorant blacks! Pennsylvanians!—will you longer con- sent to be governed and led by this wretch, Thai). Stevens? Arey-ou willing to see your country divided and her re sources wasted, merely because certain States, Pennsylvania included, refuse to endorse the negro-equality Ideas of Radi cal demagogues? Answer with an em phatic “ no” at the polls by voting against Geary, who is the tool of Stevens. a.yjiEK gets t'ii i; cai.mim; At a fair for the benefit of the Presby terian church at Meehanicsburg, lost week, an oil painting of George Wash ington was put up to be voted for at 10 cents a vote. The understanding was that the painting was to be presented to the candidate for Governor having the largest number of votes. The Clymeb tickets were deposited in one box, and the Geary tickets in another. The vo ting was kept up with great spirit for three days, and on Saturday evening the tickets were taken from the boxes and counted. They stood: Clyraer,, Geary,... Majority for Clymer,, That will dq! Thp Geabyites mode desperate efforts to get the painting for their candidate, They, wrote to negro suffrage men all over the county', be seeching aid, on account of “ this being Geary’s own county,” &c. They work ed arid begged day and night, but all to no purpose. The friends of Clymeb were also quietly at work, and we congratulate them on the result. The result of this contest is an indication of what may bo expected this fall in Old Mother Cum berland. Stand toyourguus, Democrats, and all will be yyell }n October. ®@" The Sunbury Democrat says the negro party in Pennsylvania are becom ing very uneasy at the headway Hiester Clymer is making among the conserva tive voters of the State, both soldiers and civilians. They would tike nothing bet ter than to get him out of the way in time to save them from a crushing de feat, and in the forlorn hope that this may he accomplished, are busily circula ting stories that the Democracy are seri ously considering tlie expediency of with drawing bin). The wish is a father to the thought. The withdrawal of Mr. Clymer has never been thought of, much less discussed, in Democratic circles. He is the strongest candidate ye could have nominated, .as the daily demonstrations in his fayor throughout the State are.suf ficient toproye, The disimiouists capnqt get him out of the way unless they have votes enough to defeat him at the polls— and then know they havn’t. The Pittsburg Chronicle (Republican) don’t like Forney’s abuse of Secretary Seward, and says: “Itis as abominable nn exhibition of f bigoted partizanship as ■yvo have .ever witnessed, and deserves the heartiest censure of the press and peo ple.” Forney and Ge.ary afe in the same pplifleaf .boat —Forney rows find Geary steers—conaefiusptly the above language should apply as forcibly to the latter ns to the former. the constitutional amendment. The constitutional amendment has pass edboth Houses of Congress by a two : thirds vote, and awaits the ratification of the States. As the Republicans hayesucceed ed in giving last touches to their political platform, we suppose our read era may be curious to see it ‘Vwith all the modern improvements.” Hero it is— nigger suffrage with its toilet made; Resolved, Sy the Senate and House of Representa tives of the {Jutted States of America in Cotuji'css as sembled (two-thirds of both Houses concurring), That the following atticle be proposed to the legisla tures of the several {States, us nu amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which, when ratified by three-fourths of said Legisla tures, shall be valid ns part of the Constitution, namely.: ARTICLE .

The Coming Waii in Europe.— I The news from Europe to the Oth instant, re ceived inNow York on Saturday morning, very plainly intimates war at hand. The Peace Conference has been abandoned, the neurtal powers, France, Russia and England, .regarding the reservations of Austria as tantamount to a refusal to submit the questions at issue to negotia tion. Those conditions were such as to make it impossible that any agreement could be effected. So the last hope of peace vanishes, and the next news from Europe may inform us that a war has begun, the extent and end of which no one can pretend to guess. Preparations made for it are of , tremendous magni tude. The three leading powers engaged in it, Austria, Prusiaand Italy, can bring two millions of men into the field. Though this number is not larger than was in arms during our late I'ebellion, ours were scattered overan immense territory, while those in Europe will be brought within comparatively narrow limits. The English papers expect that the first hostilities will take place in Schleswig- Holstein and Silesia. Later. —Since the, above has been in type the steamer China has. arrived at Halifax, bringing news from Europe one day later. The Prussian troops have entered Holstein, and the Austrian troops are concentrating in the same territory. These movements are regarded as a vir tual commencement of war. 8®“ W. Lloyd Garrison is loud-mouth ed in his denunciations of President Johnson, calling him a traitor, a rebel and copperhead. This same Garrison, in a speech delivered a few years since in the city of New York, uttered the follow ing “ loyal” language: “No act of ours do wo regard with more con scientious approval, or higher satisfaction, none do we submit more conlidently to the tribunal of Heaven, and the verdictof mankind, than when, several years ago, on the Fourth of July, in the presence of a great assembly, we committed to the jkancH the Constitution of the United States!” The man who uttered these words has had his likeness taken, by request of Charles Sumner’s constituents, and plac ed in the Senate Chamber of Massachu setts, Can you iind in qll the sentiments of Southern traitors words -more expres sive than these? Treason commands a premium in Massachusetts, but out of her bailwick, beyond her coritrol, treason must be made odious. The people will be convinced that our troubles were con ceived in Northern soil and will not cease to distract and divide until its roots arc pulled up and burned. Why should Massachusetts honor traitors ? .2,391 .1,147 A Word to Democrats,— lt is now time that Democrats everywhere, should begin tire work of organizing and getting ready for tire coming campaign. They should immediately form active working clubs in each election district in the coun ,ty and State.—brethern of the same polit ical faith form a close union with each other, and actively engage in the great contest that must be decided at the polls next October. What we want more than anything else is organization, and unless we have it, close, vigorous, and , active, we cannot hope to succeed. Wo believe there is a Democratic majority in Penn svylania, but it cannot be made effective at the polls without a well organized ef fort to bring it out. In no other manner can \ye contract the powerful organization of the Union League, which spreads over the country like a great net work. The campaign will open in July, and before-' that time our forces must be on hand,. to take an active part in the contest- "Or ganize then, everywhere, and that with out delay. A Wedding in Mobile.— A grand wedding oc curred at Mobile on the .'lth, at tho African church. Samuel Jackson, a negro man, once the slave of General Boaurejard, married Miss Sarah Jones, a white schod’mlstress. The house was crowded by negroes The friends of tho pair af terwards participated In a banquet at the house of the bridegroom. Tho newly married pair left on an early train to visit the bride’s friends at tho North. The bridegroom has considerable property. —Baltimore Sun, The above item shows the result of the teachings of the Republican- leaders.— They assert tljat a “ ijegro is as good as a white man,” but this Yankee “ school marm," more advanced than they, th'nks a big buck negro bettor than a .iVhite man, particularly wbibn the uefi'o has 11 considerable property.” Geneual Santa Anna arrived in New York city (in Wcdnesdiy, and took up his rei for him i Govehnor - appointed Charles R.

At a meeting of the “ Mifflintown and Patterson Soldiers’ Clyraer Club" held in the Borough of Patterson, Saturday even ing, Juno 0, 1808, the following preamble and resolutions were passed unanimously: "Whereas, At the so-called State Convention held at Pittsburgh on Tuesday, June 5,1800, reso lutions were passed endorsing all the measures of the present Rump Congress, and . Whereas, Said Convention forgot the true In terests of the country and the soldiers by en dorsing the nomination of John W. Geary for Governor, therefore Resolved, That wo do not recognize the Pitts burgh Convention as speaklngtho sentiments of the majority of the soldiers of Pennsylvania, and wo do most emphatically denounce their pro ceedings. Resolved, That wo recommend to the Johnson Clymeu soldiers of Pennsylvania the holding of a State Convention In the city of Reading, on Wednesday, the lirst day of August next, for the purpose of placing ourselves before the people of Pennsylvania on a true Union and Constitution al platform; each Representative district to elect live delegates for every Representative elected therein to the State Legislature. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the Philadelphia Age, Harrisburg Patriot and Union, and Pittsburgh Post, for publication; and we would also respect fully request all the Democratic papers of the State to publish tho same. ■ Democratic Papers.— There is a heal thy look about our Democratic exchanges throughout the State which is gratifying to observe. Many of them are being en larged and otherwise improved. ’ They are fighting the political battle bravely and deserve to be ln the present important political campaign a very large share of the work must be done by the Democratic press. A special ef fort should be made by every Democrat to Increase the circulation of Democratic newspapers. By no other agency can so much good be accomplished. If we can get the people to read both sides, the rev olution that is now going on in public seutimeutwillbe complete, thorough and lasting.TVthis end let the circulation of Democratic newspapers be increased. — Proper efforts by individual Democrats will accomplish wonders. Let each man do his whole duty in this matter, and the combined result of individual effort will be such as to astonish even the most san guine. mr “Every independent Republican removed by Andrew Johnson is the un spiking of a powerful gun,” says the Har risburg Telegraph. With bated breath and closed nostrils the people of Harris burg have witnessed the “ unspiking” of one of those “powerfulguns.”- Like the Harper’s Ferry gun, (which Geary “cap tured” butdidn’t presenWo Philadelphia as a trophy,) when it was “ unspiked” of its long rotten charge of cigar stumps, the stench has been awful. It is a great pity that these “powerful guns” were not “unspiked” during the war, in the face of the “rebellious rebels.” Greek fire and Chinese “ stink pots” would have been as the odor of night-blooming cerus to thal smell. Every rebel would have " come down at the first snuff. The Way the Money Goes.— Thd Jacobin Congress spend more money, in one way or other, to assist in carrying out their designs, than .would pay all that the soldiers and sailors ask of them. — The “investigating” committee use up mpre money than anyone has an idea of. There is now a bill before the House for $52,000 for the contingent fund. The na tion is bleeding at every pore, and these sharpers will not leave enough life in it, if they are not stopped, to make even an appearance among the nations of the earth. It is a continual drain on the treasury for the benefit of the negro.— Will the people let the opf>trf{jmity slip them this fall of sending the Whole batch to Coventry? U®“ Let every man who buys a pound of sugar, a quart of molasses, a yard of muslin, or calico, remember that these articles might be sold for half the present price if th,e disunionistsandrevolutlonists of the Rump Congress would sustain the President in his peaceful and constitu tional policy. It is the policy of Stevens & Co. to keep up disunion and revolution j thus preventing capital and labor in 1 the south from producing these great staples of Northern commerce. Johnson’s poli cy would call their reproduction and re duce the price in the North at least fifty per cent. He, therefore, who sustains disunion, not only puts money from his ownpoeketbut luxuries and even articles of necessary beyond the reach of his own family. The Repvblxc, the new conservative Republican paper at Pittsburg, intimates that some of the delegates to the late Geary convention held in that city “ dis persed to their respective homes” with out settling with the landlords. It says: The hotel-keepers, where they were quartered, know that they are absent, but where they can not tell. Landlords are anxious ns to their whereabouts. If their friends would address a letter to the St. Clair and Eagle hotels, they can obtain Infornmtlon.as to their names, and wb-n they were last heard from. The attention of-A P. llnrtrauft, the prime mover and getter-up of this convention, under instruction from Wmiams, Stevens and Sumner, should appoint a committee to investigate this mattewSml see tl'd, the ex officers arrived at thelMHaces of residence. They left neither baggage nor money w.xh their land lords ; and truly, they have an rnxlety to' know that they are safe. / Significant Historical Facts.— ltis a fact that the democratic party has al ways sustaiuei every incumbent of the Presidential chair who has defended the Constitu^on —Rod the anti-Demoorats have hiartily opposed all such. The on ly tiree Presidents ever elected by the arci-Democrats were Harrison, Taylor aud Lincoln. Each died in the Presiden tial office, and were succeeded by Vice Presidents elected by the same party.— In each case, the anti-Demoorats oj&tt'el ed with the Vice Presidents, would insist on being guided by tlieCon stitution—and they each, in turn, had to throw themselves for support on the Dem ocratic party. These are significant his torical facts. Radicals are meeting unex pected checks. The “sober second thought of the people” is bringing out n strong current of feeling against their revolutionary schem. This feeling, is strengthening, every day, and by Octo ber it will be overwhelming. The name qf Thad Stevens yrill soon be as odious throughout the whole country as it was in Pennsylvania after the “Buckshot war.” Those who adhere to him will share his odium, and all of his present followers who do not want to dink with him had bettor get out of his boat at once. ion prepared h street. The U. S. Senate recently passed a res olution looking to the erection of a new Executive mansion. Thenameby which the present one is known—the White House—is distasteful to the Radicals. A Blow nt “ loyalty.” Washington, June 14.--lAs Mr. Grin nell, of lowa, was crossing the portico this afternoon he was overtaken by Gen. Kousseau, of Kentucky, amuch taller and more athletic man, who carried in his rin-ht hand a rattan cane one-third of an iiich in diameter. Placing his left hand on Mr. Grinnell’s shoulders, Rousseau hur riedly asked him why he had not retract ed his remarks of Monday. Mr. Grin neil, nfther astonished, replied that he had nothing to say. Rousseau then declared that lie would make him retract, and gave him several blows with the cane, right and left, in the broadsword style, in which Brooks as saulted Sumner, except that the blows fell lower, two on the shoulders, two on the neck, and two on the face. On the last blow the cane was shivered into frag ments, and Rousseau ceased his attack. Meanwhile, Grinneil had endeavored to arrest the blows, which were aimed at his head, receiving a portion of one blow on his hand. As Rousseau ceased, Grinuellsaid, “ You haven’t hurt me.” Rousseau replied, “I didn’t want to hurt you ; I wanted to dis grace you,” and withdrew, followed by several of his friends who had acted as his escort. Mr. Grinneil is not Suffer ing any ill effects from the blows which he received, and it is probable that to-mor row his assailant will be brought before the bar of the House —Inquirer Special. A StkAnge Resemblance.— I There was recently in the Southwest a tragedy some what similar to the murder of the Deer ing family in Philadelphia, by which a family, named Deerfield was murdered. — The murderer of latter family has been convicted. His name is Coovert, and the Memphis Ledger states that there is a most remarkable resemblance ■ between him and Probst. Both are five feet seven or eight inches high, have blue eyes, light hair, and turned-lip noses. Both have a striding walk and astoop in the shoulders, and both served in the army. -The strang est resemblance of all, however, is that Coovert, like Probst, has lost the thumb of his right hand, which was shot off whilst he was in service. JQ®“ Some one has discovered among the “ conscience letters,” received almost daily by the Secretary of the Treasury, a note signed “B. F. B,” inclosing flve dollars. The initials suggest a suspicion that further remittances will bo needed to fully ease the conscience of this peni tent. Beast Fraudulent Butler is here meant; but Ben is troubled by no qualms of con science. When, like the daughters 61 the horse-leech, his cry of “ give! give!” was unattended to, his practice was to “ take! take!” A Wonderful Change.— lt is quaint ly observed by a cotemporary, that last spring a traitor,, rebel or copperhead, was one who did not sustain the policy of the President. This spring a rebel or copper head is one who does support the Presi dent. Last year to speak lightly of the President was treason. This year the test of loyalty is denunciation of the Ex ecutive. , ,1 Death op Gen. Cass.— Geo. Lewis Cass, the hero, patriot and sates man, died at his residence, in Detroit, on Sun day last, aged 83 years. Gen. Q. was the democratic candidate for the Presidency in 1848. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER, Correspondence American Volunteer. j Washington, Juno 1), 180(1. General Rousseau, a member of Cdngris from Kentucky, Is a staunch friend of the PrLldont, and during the war gained quite a reputation for ills bravery In the hold, second to noothefpfflcer in the Southwest. For ills position in sustaining the President, one Grlunell, a member fromjbwa, formerly a preacher of some kind or othel, has assailed the General at every opportunity tilth a coarseness that would shame Parson lirowllow, and when assailed in return, the coward sh'felds hlinseif behind his piety. Tills state of aflhlrshas been running on for some time, greatly tolhe delight of a number of the Radicals, who hissed on this our to tho attack. Patience will sonn tlmes cease to bo a virtue in all cases. On Mon day, Grlunell attacked the courage of Rousseai which was more than any honorable gentleraal could brook, and on Thursday afternoon, Just after the adjournment of Congress, Grlrinell anti llpsseau met under tho portico of the cast front! ol the south wing of the Capitol, which W'now' being finished by the contractors. The General' at once made for Grlnnell and touched him on the arm, and at tho same time saying, “ I have been waiting for four days for you to apologize for the abusive remarks yon made against me on the floor of the House. Do you Intend to apolo gize, sir?” .Grlnnell sneakingly replied, ” I don’t know anything about It.” General Rousseau then said, “ PH teach you then, sir,” and at once commenced,thrashing tho white llvored knave with a rattan cane, and continued to do so until the cane broke. The General told him that he did not Intend to hurt him, but only wanted to disgrace him, and show up his pusllanlmlty.— Some folks may blame General Rousseau for this whipping of an ex-clergyman, but they must re member that there is such a tiling as being goad ed to madness, and the continually barking and snapping of Grinnell became unbearable, hence his castigation. General Rousseau’s friends are sorry tho affair occurred, as It will result in no benefit to any one except that it shows up what sort of mettle some of tho Radicals are made of. Those who are disposed to criticise harshly should remember that there are some insults which can only be answered by a blow. ' Congress has finally disposed of Reconstruction for this session. Tho Senate’s amendment of the Committee’s abortion passed the House by a vote of 120 to 33. The drift of this amendment is pal pable to every thinking man lu the United States, as it Is nothing more nor less than a scheme to force negro suffrage upon the people of tho South, or to curtail their representatives in Congress. By this bill Mississippi and South Car olina will lose at least one-half of their represen tative power—thus ma'klng those States, ns well as other Southern States, mere ciphers. Tho lost portion of the agony, that is, the wind up of the farce, is, that certified copies of the amendment bill be sent to tho Governors of the various States. Some twenty Republicans shirked the vote—they being absent. It is rumored that Governor, Cur tin of your State will issue a circular to tho Gov ernors of the other States urging them to convene their several Legislatures at once and have tho amendment “ put through.” If this be true, it will bo well for your Democratic friends in the Legislature, as soon as it Is convened to offer an other resolution heartily endorsing the patriotic efforts of your Governor in behalf of the Union. The situation of Jefl’erson Davis is one which would bo amusing did it not raise legal questions involving tho constitutional rights, and liberties of every citizen of the United States. The diffi culty seems to be to determine in wliat precise character ho stands before the law, and to what particular Jurisdiction he Is amenable. Ho has been kept In close confinement at Portress Mon roe for more than thirteen months, and It yet re mains a question whether lie is a prisoner of war, triable by court martial, or in the custody of the civil authorities and triable for a civil offence by tlio civil tribunals of tho laud. It surely may be said, with good reason, that so much time should not have been allowed to elapse without a final and satisfactory solution of this problem. As tho case now stands, it would appear that tho prison er is destined to bp held for an indefinite period in suspense, like Mahomet’s coflln, between earth and heaven, merely because tho quibbling spirit of conflicting Jurisdictions chooses to .trifle with a cause that ought to have been disposed of iong ago. Judge Underwood refused to grant,a-wrlt of hn'jm.l corpus to bring the defendant before the United States Circuit Court at Richmond, to try the, question of admitting him to ball, on tho ground that ho was . still in the custody of the President as a prisoner of war, while it is replied on the other hand, that the application to ball Mr. Davis Is a Judicial'question wm, President has nothing to do. All this controversy, however about which Is too plain to admit of honest si unworthy of the Government, and shouts? 1 ed at once. It Is true that Mr. Davis ° sf cd by a party of Union soldiers durlns« < * rl war and has since been Incarcerated I 5,5,1 but hts Offence, If, any .nevertheless levying war against the United States It treason under the civil law of the n»H triable only by a civil court. 10r It scorns to bo generally believed that will not remain. In session later than th' of July. The whole country will hear! sigh of relief when that happy day arr ,. public have been feverish with anxiety si* 3, first of December last—for they know not"' day or an hour might.brlng forth-™ every day and every hour did begot some, of monstrous Iniquity—each greater than it —and each destined to obstruct the p att , forts of the President In receraentlna ti,„,° ligaments of the Union. The constitutional amendment whichi> bo submitted to the people or the gu, . bring lip the direct question of negro cits and equality. If the Radicals would on 1 thorlty of the Declaration of Independence the negro a full citizen of the United Sl«t titled to vote for all elective,olllcoi's, c eligible to all offices dependant on pupubu rage, from the lowest to the highest, why a, not adhere in practice to that other print] the same Declaration, which says that »g merits derive all their just powers from tJ sent of the governed? With what grace what consistency, with what Justice can the mand for the negro an equal participation b the rights, and franchises, and functions o( ernmeqt under our American Constitution, i and Federal, on the predicate that those who subject to the laws, of a State or nation ,h t have equal voice In. making them, and m elude from represenjatlon in Congress lbe W h peflplo of eleven States of the Union, whom ji, ore taxing and otherwise treating m Its “Just powers,” while refusing them nay r nl “ consent” in the action of the Qoveramet which they are required to submit?
