That portion of the National Debt which is represented by bonds and notes is telegraphed from Washington to have ben, on the Ist of July, within a small fraction of ELEVEN HUNDRED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ! But this does not embrace any of the claims for which mere certificates of indebtedness have been issued, nor any part of the very large amount due on every variety of claims against the Government, adjusted and unadjusted, due and maturing. All these doubtless amount to several hundred millions more, and, altogether, they form any thing else than a pleasing reflec tion to the tax-payers of the coun try. If the war continues another year, the public debt will be at least Two Thousand Millions of Dollars ! Who can begin to realize the im mensity of this sum, and how is it ever to be paid ? Capture of Morgan. General JonN H. MORGAN, the no ted rebel guerilla, who has been committing depredations in Ohio and Indiana, was captured, with the residue of his command, near Steu benville, ou 'Sunday last. At Their Old Game. The Abolition press is at its old. game of trying to prejudice the pub lic mind against our Irish and Ger man fellow-citizens, by charging upon them the riotous proceedings in New York and other cities of the Union. Why they do this is easily understood. The ash and Ger mans, as a general thing, are Demo crats, having fled from tyranny in the old world to enjoy liberty in the new, and it would be passing strange indeed if they did not fraternize with that political party 'here - Which has always been the friend of free dom and equality. But that they, as a body, are more disorderly or riotous than other portions of our citizens, or that they are less warmly attached to the Union than the na tive born, we utterly deny. On the contrary, they are industrious and frugal, and thousands of them have sealed their devotion to our free in stitutions with their heart's blood on the bloody battle-fields of this and every other war in which the coun try has been engaged. It will not do, therefore, for the adherents of the present National Administration to attempt a revival of the defunct and exploded Know- Nothing party of 1854-5. Nor will it do td charge our Catholic fellow citizens with being lawless and riotous, in view of the Native Amer ican riots in 1844 which disgraced Philadelphia. Those who live in glass houses should be careful not to throw stones, is the old adage, and it would be well if our Aboli tion opponents' would profit by the lesson. We are opposed to every species of mob law and violence, come from what quarter they may; but, we repeat, it is a base slander upon our adopted citizens to charge them with being the main participa tors in the recent disgraceful riots, which are deprecated by every good citizen whether naturalized or to the manor born. Credited for. the Excess. By reference to another column it will be perceived that the Provost Marshal General has notified the Governor of Massachusetts, that the towns of that Commonwealth which had an excess in the draft of last year will be entitled to a credit for the same number in the present conscription. If that is. to be the policy of the Administration with regard to Massachusetts, why should it not be extended to Pennsylvania? And, should that be the case—and it would be nothing but even-hand ed justice to place all on an equality —then Lancaster city and four or five districts in this county, would have none at all or very few to fur nish. In this city, at the last draft, we had an excess of 246. In the present draft we are required to fur nish 223. Deduct the one number from the other, and it leaves a bal ance still in our favor beyond the present draft' of 23. We trust this matter will be promptly attended to by those of our citizens who are in-. terested in the subject, so that all the people of every State may be placed on an equality. Lancaster city is ready now, as she has been in the past, to furnish her full quota to the armies of the Union, but she is not willing to be imposed upon by any favoritism shown to the people of Massachusetts or any other State. The Mayor and Councils have taken action on the subject, and will do all they can to have justice done in the matter; but, to make the ap peal eactual, they should have the hearty co-operation of all our citi zens. Let there be something done without delay. The Conscription. Last week was a busy time at the Provost Marshal's office, in this city. The number applying for exemption was unexpectedly large, and the dis eased and otherwise incapacitated for military service, together with those who " forked over " the $3OO, render it pretty certain that, of the three thousand and upwards drafted in Lancaster county, not one thousand, if that many, will trouble Uncle Sam for a new suit of clothes and the privilege of carrying a mus ket to the tented field. If the same state of things exists in other coun ties, we very much question whether twenty thousand men will be added to the army from the entire State. We think the Conscription was a great mistake. Had the Govern ment offered a liberal bounty to volunteers, we are` satisfied that more men and more efficient soldiers would have been obtained in less time than the completion of the draft will take ; and certainly there would not have been the same oppo sition to encounter which is now manifested everywhere to a forced conscription. The Government needs soldiers—men who will volun unteer to fight under the old flag, not those who will enter the army by compulsion, if they enter it at all. Better, far better would it have been for the President to have appealed directly to the patriotism of the peo ple than resort to an odious and com pulsory conscription, which never can be popularized in an American community. Death of Mr. Crittenden. " Agreat man has fallen in Israel." Hon. JOHN J. CRITTENDEN, the sage, statesman, and patriot, has passed from earth, and been gathered to his fathers. He died in the city of Frankfort, Kentucky, on Sunday morning, at 3 o'clock, without pain or a struggle, in the full possession of all his faculties, at the ripe old age of 77 years. hus, one by one,, are the old patriarchs passing from the sta g e of existence. Who will be worthy to fill their places in this dark hour of our country's existence God alone knows.

WHO ABE THE csamnramss Ever since the breaking out of the anti-con scription riot in New York, the Jacobin press have been falsely charging the Democratic leaders with the authorship of the outrages which have been Committed in that city. At a time when calmness and moderation are• wisely counseled, these reckless journals, re gardlei3s of the appeal made to them, fill their columns with inflammatory language and slanderous assaults upon a party which has ever been foremost in its devotion to the Union, the Constitution, and the laws. In our anx iety to preserve the public peace—in our de termination to frown upon all illegal resist ance to the constituted authorities of the land —we have unhesitatingly counseled strict obedience to the laws, no matter how obnox ious they may be, and have earnestly striven to impress upon our readers that it is better to Bear those ills we have, Than fly to others we know not of." Nor shall we now depart one hair's breadth from the path of duty which is plainly mark— ed for every patriot to read. As before, we condemn the monstrous outrage in New York; bat we now intend also to denounce and hold up to public scorn and reprobation the greater criminals who sowed the storm, and are strug gling, with characteristic meanness and cow ardice, to escape the fury- of the unchained whirlwind. In doing so we shall speak bold. ly and fearlessly. The time for gentle words has passed. For months past the Jacobin journals have been grossly assailing by name some of the best and purest men in our com munity. The only charge against them has been that they are Democrats, and their crime is that they regard with alter contempt the miserable upstarts and obsequious court— lacqueys who are now basking in the sunshine of the present corrupt and imbecile adminis— tration. When these Abolition journals assert that the riot in New York is " a deliberate effort, got up by copperheads, to weaken the hands of the National Executive," they must be confronted with the truth, no matter how lit tle to their taste may be its presence. The revolutionary spirit which now exists in the North is the result of the-teachings of the Ab olition leaders and journals. They are the great criminals, before God and man, who are this day responsible for every drop of blood shed and every dollar of property that has been lost in the present outbreak. For years past they have counseled resistance to the laws of the Country. They incited a violent mob in the city of Boston to attempt the rescue of Anthony Burns, a fugitive slave, who was most righteously held under the operation of the Fugitive Slave Law, which they have re peatedly scorned, nullified, and set at defi ance. They urged on John Brown to commit arson, murder and treason, and when the guilty wretch was justly executed on the gal lows, they. canonized his dead bones, and made him one of the brightest saints in their calendar. They have proclaimed a " higher law " than the Constitution ; they have taught that the States and the people have no rights, even under the laws, which are not subordinate to their own destructive policy and measures ; and they have in the sacred names of Union and Liberty, plundered cities, burned dwell ings, and made barren wastes of Jackson, Darien and Bluffton. Having inaugurated a wide-spread system of resistance to law and contempt of justice, can they expect that the people will do aught else than follow the ex amples set them by bad men in high places, who insolently, for party purposes, trample on all law, and totally disregard the sovereign rights and constitutional privileges of the masses ? The rioters in New York are com posed of men of all parties—men who have learned bitter lessons, which they refer to in attempting to justify themselves in their op position to the Conscription act, from the lawless teachings and treasonable examples of Philips, Garrison, Fred. Douglass, Forney, McMichael, and other Abolition leaders.— While the friends of law and order are now denouncing the shameleee conduct of the brutal mob, let not these greater criminals escape.— Let those who are really guilty, but who are shielding themselves under the cover of a spe cious and deceptive patriotism, be forever pil loried in public contempt. Let them be thoroughly exposed as the great originals from whom the deluded masses learned the fatal lessons of lawlessness which has cost them so much blood and entailed upon a great city so much lasting disgrace.—Phila. Age. THE ONLY HOPE LEFT It is gratifying to every intelligent patriot to see how the conservative men of every for mer political affiliation are abandoning old antagonisms, and uniting heart and hand with the Demooratio patty as the only one by whose . principles and whose numbers the country can be saved from the remediless ruin which the fanatics of the North and the South have invoked upon it. Mr. Gso. S. BILLIARD, of Boston, one of the most accomplished men of his time, a friend Webster and of Choate, a Whig of the straight est sect, and a patriot the purest, in hie letter to the Academy of Music meeting, recently held in New York, uses this significant lan guage : " I have never been a member of the Dem ocratic party, but I am convinced that there is now no hope of ending this deplorable war and restoring the Union but by and through that party." And the Hon. JOEL PARKER, formerly Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New Hamp shire, and now sitting in the chair of Story, who prefaces his letter 'with a similar state ment, that he has " never been a member of the Democratic party "—though honored by that party with high places, in the belief that he was conscientiously desirous of sustaining and enforcing sound principles of constitution al and municipal law—says in a similar letter to the New Hampshire people : •' Most assuredly, I do at this time deeply and cordially sympathize with the Democracy in their efforts to maintain the Uonstitution, to preserve the rights of free speech, the lib erty of the press, personal freedom from arbi trary arrest and imprisonment, and the supremacy of the civil law in all places not occupied by the forces of the Union for the prosecution of the war. Legitimate martial law cannot exist in places where there is not only no war, but no troops for the prosecution of the war. What is so called, and is attempt ed to be enforced as • martial law,' in such places is merely the exercise of arbitrary power, without any warrant of law whatever." DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS In a number of Counties in this State, we notice that our Democratic friends are already putting their tickets in the field for the fall campaign, and we are pleased to see in every instance they are selecting their very best men —espeoially for State Senators and members of the House of Representatives. In the Washington and Green District, that highly esteemed gentleman, Hon. WILLIAM HOPKINS, has been nominated for Senator. A purer man than he does not live—his election is a fixed fact. In the Westmoreland and Fayette District, JOHN LATTA, Esq., is the candidate. He is a lawyer of considerable promise, and is a high-minded, honorable man—quite an op posite to his predecessor, Dr. Fuller. For the House we have already nominated C. L. Per— shing, Esq., of Cambria, Dr. Patton, of Green, W. T. Alexander, of Clarion, John Hagnett, John W. Riddle, and J. B. Chambers, of Westmoreland and Armstrong, T. B. Sea right, of Fayette, William Glenn, of Wash ington, and B. F. Meyers, the able and fear less editor of the Gazette, of Bedford. Messrs. Pershing, Glenn, Patton and Alexander were members of the last House, and are also men of talent and high personal character. 00V. TOD AND TILE MILITIA A letter from Columbus informs us that the call of Governor Tod for militia has resulted in filling that city with an enthusiastic, yell ing, soldier•defying crowd of Democrats, shouting for Vallandigham. It seems as though the crowd was a Democratic Conven tion. Tod, finding he had an elephant on his hands, is ordering them home as fast as pos sible. The cost of this foul order will be at least $250,000 ; and unless recalled, may reach the half million put at his disposal by the Legislature. The militia are decidedly for " Val." So says the Oinoinnati.Enguirer. POLITICAL PREACIIIIIOL In these days when whole assemblages of ministers run mad in a body and act the pol itician to perfection, it is well to call to mind the words of the fathers of the Church. We find the following extract from the anbobiog raphy of the Rev. Dr: Anent:CLARICE. the great commentator of the Methodist Church, in the' Washington (P . n.) Examiner. Thiswas writ ten by that great and good man„.virha,. if he 'were alive to-day, would lash the ininisierial fanatics of his own church with proper sever• ity. Here is what he says, in his own lan guage: " It was the lot of Mr. Clark to be associa ted at this time with two eminent men, who, unfortunately, took opposite sides of this great political question ; one pleading for the low est Republicanism, the other exhausted him— self in maintaining the divine right of Kings and regular Government to do what might seem right in their own eyes, the people at large having nothing to do with the laws but obey them. His soul was grieved at this state of things ; but he went calmly on his way, preaching Christ crucified for the redemption of a lost world, and though his abilities were greatly inferior to those of his colleagues, his congregation was equal to theirs, and his word more abundantly useful. Political preachers neither convert souls nor build up believers in their most holy faith ; one may pique himself on his loyalty, the other on his liberality and popular notions of Government ' - but, in sight of the great Head of the Church, the first is a sounding brass, and the second a cymbol. " When preachers of the Gospel become parties in party politics, religion mourns, the Church is unedified, and political disputes ag itate even the faithful of the land. Such preachers, no matter what aide they take, are no longer messengers of glad tidings, but the Beadsmen of confusion, and wasters of the heritage of Christ. Though Mr. Clarke had. fully made up his mind on the politics of the' day, and never swerved from his Whig prin. ciples, yet in the pulpit was nothing heard from him but Christ crucified, and the salva tion Procured by his blood."—Life of Dr. Adam 'Clarke, volume 1, page 160, 161. THE CONSCRIPTION RIOTS The York Gazette, after some very sound and sensible comments upon the late riotous proceedings in New York and elsewhere, thus concludes : " We refer to these matters to remind our readers that these outrages are not without their precedents, high and low, and to ask the question of all fair and honest thinking men whether all the outrages of two long years have not had something to do, by their evil example, in influencing the people to commit violations of law, and set an example for mob violence, on the part of the persecuted. Is it just that the responsibility of these terrible riots shonld be placed on the Democratic par ty, which by its leaders and journals has always been the champion of constitutional law and order, when our political opponents have forgotten the constitutional rights of the people, adopted the revolutionary and tyran— nical doctrine of 'military necessity,' filled the land with mobs against those who honestly differed with them on Administration policy, and sowed the storm to reap the whirlwind.' Let the real authors of these terrible evils consider these matters, amend their ways, and return to the constitutional principles of the Fathers. " The responsibility of those recent outrages cannot be fixed upon the Democratic party, but a discerning people will place it where it belongs. The Democratic press is unanimous in its condemnation of these wicked mobs in New York and elsewhere ; they have constant ly counseled obedience to law, and have not had a little to do in restoring order. Gover nor Seymour, after making every effort in New York to quell the riots by persuasion, as in volving the least destruction of life and prop erty, announced to them that they must be put down, and. declared, that if necessary, the whole power of the State should be employed to restore order and punish the violators of the law: He has restored order and taken mea sures to prevent any repetition of such flagrant crimes in the future. Had not many of his organised regiments been patriotically sent to Pennsylvania to drive the invaders from our borders, the mob would have had but a short existence in the commercial emporium of the Union. The guilty leader of the mob has been arrested and will be punished. This is as it should be, and let us trust that the mem bers of all parties will stand firmly by the Constitution and the laws of the land. Let all illegal and arbitrary measures be frowned upon, and every violation of the law be legal ly punished. Mobs can be organized by mem• hers of both parties ; they are all illegal and deserving of the severest punishment. For the sake of public safety—of justice—of hu manity and law—of the oountry—lct us hear no more of mobs, great or small." A DAY OF THANKRGIVING AND MD= The President has issued a proclamation, setting apart Thursday, the 6th of ,August, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, iu ac knowledgment of the recent suoesses of the National arms, says: " It has pleased Almighty God to hearken to the supplications and prayers of an afflict ed people, and to vouchsafe to the Army and Navy of the United States victories on land and on the sea so signal and so effective as to furnish reasonable grounds for augmented con fidence that the Union of these States will be sustained, their Constitution preserved and peace and prosperity permanently resstored." What does this sudden expression of regard for the Union and Constitution mean ? Has Mr. Lincoln repudiated the heresies of the Chicago platform, and turned his back on a party that has thus far used him to destroy the Constitution and prevent the restoration of the Union ? ge- A " New England Clergyman " pro tests, through the Springfield Republican, against imposing the burdens of the draft upon ministers of the gospel. He says : "If it be true that they are exempt by the laws of God, it cannot gain the favor of the God of battles to force His embasadyrs into the ranks of the army. For myself, I believe that every minister of Christ forced into the ranks will hinder the cause more than the loss of many battles. This is not a question of a sect, or of an over-scrupulous conscience, like that of Quakers or other non—resistance men. But it is the voice of the word of God plain and direct." It is a little singular that the voice and law of God is something that generally inteferes With the habits, institutions and comforts of almost everybody but abolition clergymen ; at least so they make out. They have been large ly instrumental in creating the bad blood and sectional bitterness which led to this wretched war, but now that it directly affects themselves, they are very much disgusted, and sacrilege onsly call upon God to save them from paying the $3OO exemption fee. A.RDIT OFFICERS RETIRED By direction of the President the following officers are to be retired -from active service, and their names entered on the retired list of officers of the grade to which they now respec tively belong, in accordance with section twelve of the act approved July 17, 1862. This order is to take effect on the Ist of August, 1863: Major Gen. John E. Wool ; Brig. Gen. William S. Harney ; Brev. Brig. Gen. Harvey Brown, Colonel of the Fifth Artillery ; Col. Justin Dimmick, First Artillery ; Col. Chas . S. Merchant, Fourth Artillery ; and Lint, Colonel Martin Burke, Third Artillery. HON. GEO. W. WOODWARD. The Democratic party has never made a nomination that has been 'welcomed with more sincere enthusiasm by the patriotic masses than that of Judge Woodward. It is felt that he is emphatically the man for the times, pos sessing as Mr. Clymer said in his speech at the Convention, " shoulders broad enough, bead stout enough, and brain big enough,' to meet any emergency. Everybody who is at all acquainted with him recognizes the ability of his mind and the purity of his character. With such a man in the Executive chair, the long needed improvement in the management of State affairs, that every true citizen has sighed for would soon be accomplished, and Pennsylvania would take her stand ,as one of the best governed of all the members of the Union.—Hollidaysburg Standard.. • LOCAL DEPARTMENT.

A Nw BATCH OF ORDERS—Tni $3OO COM isureTton —The following circular from the office of the Provost Marshal General of Pennsylvania was received by Provost Marshal Banana on Thursday morning. It will be seen by the fourth order that the three hundred dollar commutation reicasen the conscript from serving during the period of three years, or just the same as if the non. script had himself procured the substitute. Thie decision will relieve many who have been in doubt in regard to this matter. The circular is ea follows: - • •. "The following inatrustlotui are hulled for the Inform' tion of the several Provost Morelia's: . . "I—Provost Marshals of Drafted Districts will make complete minter .rolls of drafted man, to be forwarded with detachment, to the proper depot. "2—They will see that the drafted men are provided with everything necessary for their entire equipment, that no time may be lost in forwarding them from the rendes. roue to their final destination, and give as many days' notice a, possible to.the commandant of the . rendesvoun of the time when the drafted men will be turned over. "3—When drafted men fail to report, the District is not responsible for their desertion any more than for the de. eertion of members of its quotas in the field. The District must therefore be credited for them. "4—The paying of $BO.O for procuration of substitute,' under the law: throws upon the Government the responsi bility of providing such substitute, and relieves the Dis trict therefrom. It le paid for procuration of substitute.' .s—The District must present men liable to military service, suitable and acceptable—not &Tempts. It cannot present for military service to the Government men who are exempt therefrom by law. It must make up for them.

PA.NATICISM RAMPANT. EDITORS INTRISIOLNCEE: In every community we find Individuals who usually allow their religion' or political prejudices to control their daily social intercourse with their neighbors and friends. For such characters we can didly admit we entertain the most profound contempt.— But for the man (1) who will deliberately enforce the fa, natical wrath of his bad political teachings upon the head" of innocent and rinoffending children, we as freely confess our inability to find language strong enough to express our thorough detestation. A cage In point,--which we sincerely trust will not find its parallel in this land of churches and free schools. One of the wealthiest farmers in this district had in his employ, as hired help, a little girl, but thirteen years of age, the daughtet of a poor but industrioni and respectable work ing man. Not long ago this child, in a friendly conversa tion with one of her female friends, let fall a remark which wee overheard by some members of the family, and wkich ht once rendered her an object of fear and abhorrence in the eyes of the patriotic head of the family. This little girl, with warmly intelligence enough to remember, much less to comprehend, any of the political slang phrases of the day, was guilty of the enormity, of the glaring crime of actually saying she was a Ccpperhead I 0, horror of horrors! 0, dreadful! 0, shocking! Where is the man, the patriot, who would not have trembled, and where is the old maid who would not have fainted at hearing such a declaration from a little girl, thirteen years of age? No wonder she was compelled to pay the penalty for her treasonable expression. The girl was dismissed from the service of the family, and early the next morning, without any breakfast, walk ed to her home, distant nearly a mile, whilst the loyal, patriotic and God-fearing employer went on before to in form the family of the cause of her dismissal! We have made a simple statement of plain bets. This outrageous act Is loudly condemned by men of all political parties in this neighborhood. Citizens of Lancaster county, should tot each proceedings everywhere meet the indig nant condemnation of every man and Christian? ANTI-FANATIC. Easy Rom, July 11, 1863. RETALIATION. The Government has ordered the Rebel General W. Fitzhugh Lee and Captain Winder into confinement, to await the action of the Rebels at Riohmond in reference to the sen tence of death passed upon Captains Sawyer, of New Jersey and Flyn, of Indiana. On Thursday they were removed to a casemate in Fortress Monroe, and notice was sent to Rich mond, giving the authorities there to under stand that, if the two Union officers were hung, the same death would be visited upon Lee and Winder. We learn, from our western exchanges, says the N. Y. World, that for the present there will be no enforcement of the draft in any of the States north and west of the Ohio river.— It will be noticed that Colonel Fair, in announ• oing the resumption of the draft, mentioned the Middle and Eastern States as- those in which the conscription was to be immediately enforced. There is, doubtless, some reason for this discrimination, though we do not see its justice. PENNSYLVANIA STATE TEACHERS' Assocr- ATlON,—The_meeting of the Pennsylvania State Teachers' Association, which was post poned last year on account of the distracted condition of the country, will be held at Read. lug, commencing on Tuesday, the 4th of Aug. net next. The Association will remain in ses sion three or four days. RIIIPIIBLIOAX TROIIBLXIS. The Republican State Convention was to have assembled on the Ist of July. Their State Committee adjourned it until the sth of August. The excuse for this - action that is given to the nubile is that so many of the del egates were In the State Militia ! Yet they have been frequently challenged to name five who are there„ and, of course, cannot do it.— If - they were, there is an ebundttioe of Repub• Sean stay-at-home patriots to - act as adbati tate:l:far them; Thai•truth' . .abOut it is that, notwithstanding' his official - message to . the Legislature declining to be a candidate for re election, Gov. Curtin has been constantly; and is now making every effort in hie power to ob tain a renomination. Cameron is bitterly hostile to Curtin, and is working vigorously to defeat him. if the ;convention had as sembled on the let of July, Curtin's renomin ation was considered certain. The Committee is under Cameron's control, and he had the Convention postponed by it for the sole pur- , pose of defeating Curtin. That is why their Convention was postponed. . Cameron is striving to bring forward a can didate who was once a, Democrat. Judge Strong ; of the Supreme Court, (born a Fed eralist and a Yankee,) once a citizen of Perks and a professed Demoorat, but now said to be an Abolitionist, was solicited but is said to have declined. Judge Thompson was tried bat in vain. Judge Grier, it is also told, was tried but not successfully. If the wing of the Republicans who favor these ideas suc ceed in obtaining a majority of the Conven tion, we suppose they will find some seedy individual who was once a Democrat, or pro fessed to be, who will accept their nomination. We don't care much who they bring forward, but would rather prefer Curtin. He needs ventilation and thrashing about as badly as any official we ever had in this State, and if he again becomes a candidate he will receive both.— Clinton Democrat. eiIIDGE WOODWARD AND THE EIAB. Judge WOODWARD is not only one of our wisest jurists and ablest statesmen, but he is a man of the purest moral character, a con sistent member of the Episcopal church, and a model Christian gentleman. In ocinveras- Lion, a few days since, with an intelligent gentleman of this county, who had been en gaged in some legal transactions in the county of Huntingdon, during the time Judge Woon- WARD presided over the courts of that district, he related an incident which shows both the good practical sense and the firmly fixed re ligious principles of our candidate for the office of Governor. In Huntingdon county it has been custom ary to summon the jurors to assemble at 10 o'clock on Monday morning of Court week.— As the county is large this obliged many of them to travel on the Sabbath day. Before discharging the grand jury at the first court he held, Judge WOODWARD alluded to this fact in fitting terms, remarking on the duty of a strict observance of the Sabbath, and giving it as his opinion that no public business, ex cept that of the most urgent character, could justify public officials in requiring men to leave their homes and travel on the Sabbath. He notified those present and the court offi cials that thereafter the jurors would be sum moned to attend on Tuesday instead of Mon day morning, and this rule he established and adhered to in all the counties of his district. By a proper arrangement of business all the time of Monday was fully taken up with other matters, and on Tuesday morning the jurors were present and the court ready to proceed with toe trial list without interruptign. Our informant added that the business of the court never seemed to be carried on so smoothly and so rapidly as when under the direction of this able christian Judge. in the hands of such a man all the best interests of the Com monwealth will be eminently safe.—Fulton Democrat. ADOPT PLAYED OUT The fa.natical, anti-democratic and anti common sense theories of the abolition party are about played out. They played "log cabin" and "hard cider" in Harrison's time —a very nice play and as harmless as it was nice, because the sensible men of their party were then for the Constitution. At a later day they played "Maine law," but their law never became the main law of the land, and in Maine was abandoned. Following this they hit upon the Know Nothing question, and knowing nothing in State matters they accomplished nothing to benefit the people and nothing was the final result. Next came "bleeding Kansa)," and Kansas bled in quan tities to suit the market and the financial condition of the aid fund in Massachusetts.— After bleeding and bleeding, it finally bled out, and died from the total loss of bad blood. Next came the "Wide Awakes," who unlike their former professions, now professed to be sharp. They widened the breach in the Union, and waked up all the jealousies of the nation, and having thus played "wide" and "wake" their lamps went out and their new party went to sleep so sound that Gabriel's trumpet will never wake them up again in that form. Next came the "no party ;" after having ex hausted all the names that could be thought of they concluded to try it awhile without a name, and thus, nameless and soulless, this "no party" with no law but many prophets had their day. The opiates administered at the ballot-box last fall put them to sleep again, and they now wake up not exactly in league with the Constitution, which Garrison Bays is a "league with death and a covenant with hell," but in the abolition league, which seems to be a league with the everlasting, ir represeible, woolly•headed negro..This league performance is doubtless the end of ; ithe show —intended to be like the winding up jackass performance of a circus, and so .it is, a fit thing to be laughed at, but not a - desirable performance to be mixed up in. These abo• lition feats of ground and lofty tumbling are about played out.—Doylestown Democrat. SLAVERY AND THE REBELLION! The " distinguished" North Carolina " statesman " who has recently written an " elaborate work" entitled " Slavery and the Rebellion," which will soon be published, fa vors us in one part of his book with his opinion of the effect of this war upon the " peculiar institution," which, coming from an anti-sla very elaveholder, ought to have some influence in correcting the false ideas held by his broth er auti-slavery men on the subjeot. He says : " Slavery will not be materially injured by this war, but will come out of the ordeal strop ger than ever, and satisfy the world that States and municipal laws, sustained by the relig ious training of the Southern people,are more than a match for the prejudices of the world. A standing army of half a million of men, in the acceptance by the South of gradual eman oipation, is the only method that will cheek its growth or cause its extinction, neither of which the administration at Washintgon will deem it necessary to enforce. Hence slavery will be all the stronger for-the war." THE DRAFT IN YAIIKEELAND From all we can learn there will be but few Yankee conscripts in the ranks of the 300,000 about to be raised. The Abolition element is very much in favor of war as long as the' hardships are endured and the battles fought by Democrats—but they have a sincere affec tion for their own persons, which induces them to avoid volunteering or enlisting, and to run away from conscription or furnish sub stitutes. A Conneotiout paper asserts that in that State not more than one-tenth of the quota will be forthcoming. In Boston, one thousand " loyal " men (Abolitionists no doubt) absconded in a single day, and thous ands have left New England in the same way. They are opposed to peace, but they have no stomach for the fight. The Boston .15(erakl says : "Of the 54 men from Nantucket and the Vineyard who have presented themselves to the Board of Enrolment in New Bedford, 51 have received exemption papers, two have paid $3OO, and one has passed."
