Is it any wonder, that, with our thousands slain daily, and cur substance consumed at such an awful rate, for purposes almost en tirely at variance with its original announcements, that the people are becoming tired of this state of affairs, and rapidly concentrating their hearts - and minds for a change of adminis lration and policy ?

Such announce ment are very refreshing this warm weather—calculated to induce the people to desire campaigning in the "sunny south." Ma- Captains Henry A. Lantz and George B.

The New York Evening Post has been one of the loyalest of the "loyal." It indulged, to the heart's contentoof the bitterest aboli tionist in tho land, in the terms "cop perheads," "sympathizers," and "trai tors." It furnished more texts to the abolition papers, abusive of the de mocracy, than any other paper, not even excepting Greely and his very "loyal" Tribune. Now note the sequel. On Tuesday last, Mr. Henderson, publisher of the Evening ,`'Post, and Navy Agent at New Yark city, was arrested by Mar shall Murry; on the serious charge of fraud, bribery; the transmission of false vouchers, &,e., involving a very large sum of money. It must not be supposed that the administration at Washington wai ignorant of the frauds perpetrated at New York, ,particularly by.3.t.'Hen 'derson, or that ft immediately rested hires when the facts became known, as the "loyal" journals over the country are apt to apologise.— The administration has known of these frauds for months; the whol6 public knew of them. Senator Grimes openly, in the U. S. Senate, made ref erence to them in a speech several mo,ntlis ago. Bat it Was Only ' last Week, when Mr. Turlow Weed, of the Albany Evening Journal, a prominent and powerful leader of the Abolition ists, brought the .subject out tin his paper, that the stop alluded to—the arrest of. Hr. Henderson—was order ed. A New York Hardware firm, G. W. Schofield & Co., fitrnishing gob& to the Government, was also, at the sibie time, brought up "standing?' as the - Saying is. Mr. Henderson order ed the 'goods, and approved the bills. As speerthen "bricks" of what the goods cost Messrs.

Of course these enormous profits were . dividecl, not only . with Mr. Hen derson,rbit btibiis, 'and when names are mentioned will astound some of the public not a little. It won't as tound us, because we expected ntith ing else. The war was inaugurated for the nigger, a "little blood-letting,' a great deal of stealing and political power. , The New York Tribune, and Horace Greeley, its editor, are also excessive qy "loyal." It appears, from recent -'ildvelopements, that a Mr. Callicot is enklegetl„ by "permits" from the ad ministratiM in cotton speculations in the -South,= - 4,liat is obtaining cot ton from the rebels and sending them supplies in eturn !

These'factsrfurniShfoOd for refin e Tion. an ivik be successful, when the highest and 'lite -lowest of the'party engaged in managing, aro coining money out of it, thtis making it their interest to cause 'to be un successful. * * Our soldiers are sacrificed on the battle fields of the south, and the ad ministration furnishes "supplies," if not powder and lead, at least necessa ries of life, to the rebels, so that they may continue the contest. We do 'not say that it is not powder and ball to - slay our own men that is furnish ed under 'the name of supplies, by these men, tnder "permits" from the administration ; wevnly do not know what it is, and it maybethat as well as anything else, because we want cotton most and they want ?power and ball most. A fair exchange is to robbery. This war has become so widely di verted from its original . Purposes i is .the fruitful source of so much misery and corruption ; endangers the per quanenoe ofour republican institutions, slaughters the life Wood of the nation, iinpoveiiishes us EkT a - people, that it wonder' the people are 'com bining to put a stOp to it. If PEACE is l 4 - iiiide! the rallying cry of the Demo*Nic party this fall, tens and hum:Weds of thousands will follow its standards who, under ii`o other circumstances would be fO'fitid there. We perceive that the abolition pa pers, with their lanai - dishonesty and deception, are placing at their edito rial heads, the following announc meats : "For the amendment of the Constitu tion granting the soldiers the right to vote," &c. ,„ Now, in the first place, there is no such amendment to be voted for.— The proposed amendment is to give qualified electors in military service, the right to vote away from the polls where they are already entitled to vote. .The abolition papers take it for granted that soldiers are fools, and that they cannot see- tho,pre tended friendship displayed for them for no other purpose than .simply do obtain their votes. Why don't they appeal to the - soldiers' judgment and sense of i;ight for his influence and support, instead of thus attempting to deceive him. - They would make the soldiers believe, by their announce ments, that they would procure them the right to vote, whereas, the amend ments have no reference to that ob ject at all. No soldier, not entitled to vote when at home, will be pet mitted-, legally, to vote when in the fold"at the doming 616441'6n5, rici Mat ter how the election turns out, or what the promises of the abolitionists may be. In the second place, ticy would make it appear that the democrats are "opposed to giving soldiers the right to' vote." This is another de ception-they are attempting to prac tice' urn the soldiers. As ,we said before Me 'amen dmen ts avnot involve that quostton Ve 'vivo no doubt there Democrats, 'and others, Who would objeet to hawking the•ballot-bones of Pennsylvania all over the county, gathering up the vote of !lily body 'and eVerYbOdy, whether entitie l d or not, lant whb have no objections whatever to giving sol diers all the facilities necessary to cast their votes when entitled to do so: The Democratic party never yet attempted to deprive anybody of his legal rights, much less that ofsuffrage, as did the abolitionists in 1554 and 1855, when. they attempted to deprive our adopted citizens of •their right to 'Vote. If the foqire knew tiEed,t, tue abolition Legislature of this state in tended to'pe - tis a fair and just law pro scribing the regulations under which the voting is to be chine, there would probably not bo a single vote against the proposed amendments. As it is people will exorcise their judgment in 'the 'lnattdr. ma. The repeal of the $3OO column tation clause in the conscription act, as recommended by kr. Lincoln, is still being acted on in Congress. The House at first refused to repeal it by a decided vote, but the Senate, in ac cordance with the bidding of its mas ter, Old Abe, put it through flucking. "'hell:louse is now endeavoring to re consider itslctiiitOndlt is'intbable that it Will yiit'be repealed, thus com pelling every man drafted to , go, or buy a substitute atiiiidbormouseprfee. The poor man will then, of eourso,ihe obliged to go, leaving , his family to the bard mercies of a btird world, as he will be unable to raise the money to buy a substitute.

Wright, finding the enenifinlis front, halted the troops. At Once, , the other Con. federate column crossing ;down the Jerusalem road, attacked 'Hancock's flank. Hancocks troops 'were sur prised. They broke arid in cenfulion retired southwards. The eneniy-pen etrated between the .divisions and even the brigades. Warren earde up as hastily as possible; but found the enemy entrenched on ground taken from Hancock. In less than an hbur one thousand Federal prisoners and four guns were captured, and fifteen hundred were killed and wounded. Far_ in the rear General Birney who had command of Hancock's troops, rallied them. Night came on, and prevented any pursuit by the Coded eratea. . Hantock - was attacked, Wright, who was confronted by the enemy on.the railroad, was also as saulted. He could not go to Han cock's assistance, for the enemy, in large.nntribers, came dosen• Upon his advance from the' railroad embank ment. The skirmishers reereated upon the main body. The enemy .passed on, got in Wright's rear, and captured the greater part of two regiments: Wright at once ordered a retreat. Attacking the enemy With part of his force to cover the mtive meat, his corps retired to the posi tiOn taken by _Hancock. Here both corps dug rifle-pits •to protect them selves. The darkness, however, pre vented any Confederate attacks. . On Thursday the shattered .corps succeeded in reaching their old posi lions and the main army.

ANECDOTE The Duke of faoeleugb, -in one of his walks, purchased a eetw.,from a person in the neighklurlmtxit,icf .Dal keith, nud left orders to seta it t to his place the following morning. Ac cording to agreement, the cow was sent, and the Duke happening to be in deshabille, and walking in the ave nue, spied a little fellow ineffectually attempting to drive the animal for ward to ite destination. The boy, not knowing the Duke, bawled out to him, "Heh, mun, come here and give's a hail the beast." The Duke saw the mistake and de termined on having a joke with the little fellow. - Pretending therefore not to understand him, the Duke Walked on slowly, the boy still crav ing his assistance ; at last he cries, in tones of apparent distresS : ;Tome here, mun, s,mil help us, and as sure as onything, I'll give you half o'what. I get.' This lasi appeal 11-411 the desired. effect; the Dc:ke wont , and lent a belpinghand, s`'. "And now," said the Dul4e, they trudged along, "how' . Puely do you think you'll got for this job 7 ‘43lu,ldinna ken," said the boy, "bat I'm sure o' something, •for the folk up by at the house, are gude to a' bodies." • As they approached the house, the Duke darted from the boy, anrj en tered by anetber way. He called a, servant, put a sovereign into hie. hand, saying : "Give that to the boy that hasjust brought the cow." The Duke returned to the avenue, and Was soon rejoined by th'eih9x., "Well, how much did -'You. 'get ?" inquired the Duke: "A shilling," said the buy, "and there's the ha h lfo't t' ye." "But surely you got more than a shilling ?" said the Duke. "No," said the boy, with the ut most earnestness : "as sure as death that's a' I got ;,and d'ye no think it's plenty ?" "1 do not," said the .duke ; "there must be some mistake ; and as .I am. - acquainted with the Duke if .you'll return with me I think get you i'n6re." `BEN:I3tYT - Lit The boy consented ' • back they wont—the Duke rang the bell -md ordered all the servants to be assem bled. "Now," said the Duke to the boy, "point out the person that gave you Lhp chilling," gilt was that chap there w' the white apron," pointing to the butler. The delinquent confessed, fell on bis knees, and attempted to apologize; but the Duke interrupted him, and indignantly ordered him to give the boy the'Sovereign forthwith, and quit his service 'instantly. "You haVe loSt," said the Duke" "your shilling, your situation, and your character, by your covetousnesii learn, henceforth, that honesty is the best p4licy." The boy, by this time, recognized his assistant in the person ofihe Duke; and the Duke was so delighted with the sterling IVOTth .of I the'boy - , that be ordered him to be Sent to school, kept there, and provi ' ded for at his own expense. WIIAT DOES IT MEAN ?—The New Era, the Washington Fremont organ says: We have sufficient authority for saying that an announcement will soon be made of such means of "non centtating the Union vote upon a candidate for presidency, and under auspices to command „public confi dence, that all doubts of securing the certain defeat which awaits the at tempt to perpetuate the present weak and unsuccessful Administration may be d ism issed." This, coming from a Republicatt organ is somewhat astonishing. If a Democratic sheet used such lan guage it would be called dislayal,and its author probably consigned to some Government basilic.
