The works southeast of Richmond,

northeast of it. The strength of the
defenses on the New Bridge road
has already been stated. On the
railroad and the Williamsburg road,
tier after tier of forts confront an
advancing force. Abattis protect
all. They are on high places, from
which their cannon can sweep along

The Administration is opposed to the Monroe

by all its acts since the incipiency of the
French invasion. It has truckled in every
instance to France and England. It has dis
honored the nation over which it rules—it has
made us a by-word and a reproach among the
nations of the earth by its fully, its weakness
and its inconsistencies, and it is too late in
the day to wipe cut the reproach in the eve=
of the people by a deceptive resolution passed
by a convention composed mainly of delegates
bought by ;,ffioial fav , r and packed for a par
ticular purpose.
FRANCE AND THE U. ST ATE
Several weeks since the House of Represen
tatives passed a resolution opposirm: the
French invasion and suljuntion of Maxie
and the establishment of .a Ntia-:liy there,
with an Austrian Prince ot its head. In fact,
the resolution. virtually -imyioned the M )n
-roe doctrine.
This - resolution stirred up an excitement in
the Curt eirele; i Fratic.i. The Frencli
Minister at once made a ti,inand for an expla
nation of Mr. Dayton, the American Minister.
Mr. Dayton asked fur instructions, and Mr.
Sew ird eave him the views of the Adminis
tration. viz : that the question of interference
with the establishment of a Monarchy in
Mexico under French and Austrian auspices
was an Executive and not a Legislative one
—that the resolution had been " laid on the
table " in the Senate— , and that the Executive,
who controlled the nm.ttcr, had no disposition
to interfere at all, whatever Congress might
say upon the subject. So great had been the
impression made upon the mind of the French
Minister by the resolution, that when Mr.
Dayton appeared before him to communicate
Mr. Seward's instructions, he rose up excited
ly, and inquired, "Do you bring us peace or
war ?" The explanation satisfied him, how
ever, and the Government of France became
quiet under the assurance of Mr. Seward that
its policy in Mexico was not to be interfered
with.
This is really a remarkable case. Congress
alone has power to declare war, and it ought
to have the privileg of expressing an opinion
upon the acts of despotic powers, which are of
the greatest significance in relation to ques
tions which effect the liberties of the people
upon this continent. But as the Executive is
the supreme power now, it becomes Congress
and the people to be silent. The one•man
power rules. A large portion of the people
like it.

THE ORIGINAL JOHN BROWN FLAG.—Tbe
flag carried by old John Brown In ble murderous and
damnable raid into Virginia In the fall of 1859 in now in
possession et Mr. Aston Les, of thin city. it In of the larger
size, and the materials are of the finest silk, and the
fringe and stare are of pure silver. It to. without excep
tion, the most beautiful flag we have ever seen. This flag.
we are informed, has a local history connected with it
which will be interesting to our readers. The silk wan
mode in Parie In the year 1848, and was intended to be
used for one of the flags of the French Republic. Some
years afterwards It was purchased by a gentleman in this
city, and th,, flog was made In this county for the purpose
far which Brown need It On one of the lower corners are
lien stains of blood. The flag, after Brown and hie band
of marauders were captured at Harper's Ferry, fell Into
the presession r,f a gentleman in Maryland, who is now
holding a position In the Confederate Army, and from
wbose wife Mr. LEE obtained it. It is now on exhibition
at Mr. Lee's Saloon. in North Duke street., and we believe
there is no doubt about It being the identical flag which
Brown desecrated and defiled.
BODY FOUND.—The body of Police Officer
mEastNaor wee found In the Conestira, on Tuesday morn
ing laet, about a mile and a half below the place where he
was drowned, after having been in the water from the Fri
day evening previous. Deputy Coroner Snyder held an
Inquest. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon
from his late residence in Middle street, and was attended
by the Mayor, City Councils and other city offlutre, two or
three Societies, and a large concourse of citizens generally.
The remains were interred at the Lancaster Cemetery.
THE BEEF SPECULATORS.—Many beef stalls
in Philadelphia are closed, owing to the high prices. A
goo& many beef stalls in Lancaster ought to be closed for
the same reason. Perhaps it le all right to speculate in
bread and meat. so as to deprive one half of the people
from enjoying their usual allowance, but we " don't see
it." We hope beef speculators elsewhere will get their
eyes cimed as was the case in New York last week, when
their greed proied their loss to the amount of thousands
of dollars. The people suddenly shut down on meat, and
left the speculators -out in the cold. Let the people of
this city ad •pt a similar course, and the price of meat will
soon come down to reasonable figures.
Foe SALE I—Being about to engage, in
conneo4on with others, In the publicatkl of a Daily and
Weekly Newspaper in the City of Lancaster, we will dis
pose of the FULTON DEMOCRAT to a proper person on
rersonable terms. The Democrat has a circulation of 700
copies, sod its subscribers pay. It has also a good paying
edvertlaing and jobbing patronage, and does all the County

(*rest confusion is manifested in the camp of our
common enemy in consequence of the nominations
of the gallant Eremont and the intrepid Cochrane.
The Lincoln hordes, in tne midst of their Mast of
death and destruction suddenly exhibited upon
their hideous countenances, unmistakable indices of
alarm. The robber, when in the perpetration or his
dark design he is alarmed by the waking of his vie
tun, count not be more appalled than the guilty
miners and sappers of uur country's life have been
by the unui‘stakable symptoms of ''awakening"
coming from the city hereafter to be famous in the
history of uur natiun—trum Cleveland, Onio; or
the vultures that pounce upon their victim, tearing
and glutting upon its muscle and sinew while stilt
in feeble life, in the agonies of death, by the noise
of appronenes suddenly start up with surprise and
' wonder, these exhiott but a mint and imperfect
emblem or tha ootieternation in the camp ur our
would-be moot loyal and patriotic Line°lams. This
tribe of iuyai piuuderers have exhausted every ele
ment uf our national greatness by their unparalleled
corruption, and now prostrate upon the earth, with
the blg feet of the tyrant upon our necks, wo Bail
with pieasure the promised redemption first uttered
at Cleveland—tile land ut Valiaudignam—by the
very founders of the Republican party—the true
and houpst in their number who labor to promote
and enforce cherished principles, but have Mind to
their sorrow that their party in its present working
machinery abjured all devotion to principle and in
tegrity, and have given themselves entirely to sel
, fisu works — toe kIOCIALIIIII,III I, I 01 private Luro.l.lleS
and the prosecution of a gigautio war in a sheer
I spirit of hatred and revenge.
The Lancaster Exwzmungr and Herald, a paper
of the hignest Abolition caarscter, and in the lull
1 confidence and support of Thaddeus Stevens and his
man, Abraham Lincoln, devotes an entire column
to the C.uveland Convention, forgetting the good
old ma.x.uu llauc in a bad Ca 11613 tun •'loss said the
sOuner mended." It says, —A, au evidence thnt
not only the managers tit the Lieveland Convention
were influenced in their auto.. by bitter hostility
to President Lincoln, but that their candidate for
the Presidency is influenced by the same motives,
we quote the following extiacts from Premont's let
ter of acceptance." The quotation embodies the
principles tit the Cleveland platform—setting forth
a lung list of weaanessus, imbecilities, corruptions,
be., charged agatust toe Lincoln Administiatiou,
all as true as gospel, and all of winch stand recorded
to history to our shame and disgrace. They dare
not and cannot dispose of any one of the charges by
proofs; the entire want of any effort is the best evi
deuce to that mutter. Here, us on ail other ores-
sinus, the true cuarseter ut the Lincoln speculacurs
and buLohers mats nut—Fremont is influenced iu
hie comiuut by personal hostility to the President,
because he oppusts his pulley. This is what every
one is charged with if he opposes Lincoln. The
editors 'magma that all should look through the
same glass mat, they du—the-loyal medium. They
are me pampered favorites of the President, and
cannot brook, without a growl, any opposition to
his policy.
Hew in the name of common sense may we escape
the imputation of low personal motive, it opposition
to a corrupt Administration shall command no
higher comment thau personal animosity against
the President It the .L.raotiner had informed its
readers, tnat we have no abuses of- military dicta
tion ; that the Administration is not guilty of dis
regarding Coustitutional rights, of violations 01 per
sonal lioerty, of violations of the liberty of tee press
and of the freedom of speech ; the crowning shame
of its abandonment of the right of ; that it
is not teeble and does not want principle, and had
attempted to prove it by facts ur reasonable pre-
SlireptlMlS we would have had some justification in
listeumg to their story. As it is, it only discloses
the narrow strait in which they are fixed, and the
full, clear and unequivocal truth of the cuarges
made, as they are made in Fremont's letter of ac
ceptance. if an acknowledged corrupt party is to
be successfully combatted, the head representative
of that party and its policy is the legitimate point
of attack. How shall we demonstrate the inconceiv
able mischief done by the Lincoln Administration,
and still make court to Lincoln himself f It is ab
surd iu the extreme. Lincoln is the man and the
peiver that sanctions all the pernicious acts, and in
uer alt act: upon his conduet we cannot praise the
Luau, out treat him as he deServes to be treated—us a
pubic :errata deeply dyed iu political crime. Let the
bold and gallant Fremont, speak truths which stand
firm as the hills; future ages will do him reverence
for it.
The Examiner further charges that Fremont , •in
doing this, makes use of assertions, charges and
misrepresentations which would du no discredit to
Valtandigham, Voorhees or Fernando Woad."—
, What a glorious day seems to throw its morning
radiance through this incident. Fremont, Coch
rane, Vallandignam, Voorhees and Fernando Wood,
honored in a glorious union in opposition to corrup
tion and misrule. I want no better omen of coming
events. This taint flickering, this gleam is porteu
. toes of a meridiau day, hallowed and made sacred
by the lest, ration of the principles of government
which our forefathers established by the blood of
patriots. However we,may differ with Fremont
and his platform in softie respects, we all agree in
f - the truth of toe allegations against Lilloolll'l3 Ad
ministration. 1. have no hesitancy in saying that
all honest men in the Republican party will work
for and pray for the elevation and election of John
C. Fremont over Abraham Lincoln. The difference
in the men and their adherents is, that the Fremont
portion are honest and tit, and the Lincoln portion
notoriously dishonest, hypocritical and incompetent.
The conservatism of Lincoln is a perfect mockery ;
he is and always was an Abolitionist at heart. Al
though pretending to be forced by circumstances to
resat to extreme measures, he has always carefully
prepared those circumstances to suit his nefarious
purposes. Fremont, on the other hand, professes
at 01300 openly and avowedly to endeavor to produce
the same result as a matter of principle. Here is a
glaring distinction ; in the one case yon know not
what may come—events are controlled by circum
stances; in the other there is no doubt or difficulty
about policy, purpuee.or intention; it is openly de
clared and publisued to the world. It Is no wonder
that the Examiner is disgusted with Fremont's ac
ceptance of the nomination.
We will now have a man who will give a sort of
state's evidence—the evidence of an accomplice—
and Lincoln will be -convicted and sentenced to
leave Washington, and the contemptible brood of
Jackalls that have fattened in his course will sud
denly collapse and grow lean. They show surprise
that a man like Fremont, a man of "unquestioned
ability," should be made the dupe of cunning
tricksters. it is needless to call-up the case of Lin
coln—his ability and his duped= are familiar to
all schoolboys. One among the most ea.utary effects
of Fremont's nomination is this—it will give bold
ness and courage to the masses in thinking and
speaking. Fremont has spoken. The masses of the
Republican party will now see and believe what
they did not see and would not believe before ' that
there is something wrong. It will cool their admir
ation for a man thought faultless before, now found
to be goodless; they will think and reflect, and
that condition of mind will resolve either not to act,
at all, or act against re-electing a man and party
which has given us four years of war, slaughtered
, 600,000 men, and created a debt of $4,000,000,000,
I equal to $2,600 on every man in the whole North.
I, as one man, if at all supporting the war, desire
to do it under the banner of John C. Fremont.

CHRISTIANITY F.XTRAORDINAILY
They have a queer kind of Christianity in
the good old borough of Bedford, in this State.
If an individual is so blinded in his political
faith as to belong to the Democratic party, he
may as well forego all hope of future bliss, if,
as we are sometimes told from the pulpit, it
can only be attained through the medium of
the church. We learn from the Gaztie that
on last Sabbath morning, the pastor of the M.
E. Church in that place, announced to his
congregation that no i ne who does not endorse
the " Government" (that is, as he construes it,
the Administration,) should come to the table
of commonion. We merely mention this to
show how the madness, or rather the diabolism
of political preaching is progressing in certain
portions of the " moral vineyard."
Sss The Great Central Fair fur the Sani
tart' Commission, was opened at Philadelphia
last Tuesday afternoon, with imposing cere
imonies. It will continue open daily (except
Sunday) from 10 A. M. to 10 P. M. until
1 further notice. All the departments are filled
with the most munificent display of the pro
ducts of the various branches of art, industry,
and science, and the whole collection is said
to present one of the grandest exhibitions of
human taste, skill and enterprise that was
ever attempted.
THE BALTIMORE NOMINATIoNS —The New
York Tribune accepts the nomination of Mr.
LINCOLN, and announces its intention to sup.
port him, although with evident reluctance.
While doing this, it criticises his administra
tion very sharply, and says it would have
preferred another man. The Evening Post is
very sevare upon the nomination, and does
not commit itself to LINCOLN'S support. The
Herald denounces the nomination in unmeas
ured terms, and will oppose Lincoln's re-elec
tion.
Nor WORTH liluca.—The colored soldiers at
Port Iludeon are found to be so lazy, so care
less, so unreliable, and so expensive, that they
talk of disbanding the regiments and substi
tuting white ones. These , statements, too,
emanate from sources which have hitherto
been uniformly in favor of colored troops, and
are therefore worthy of confidence.
GElff. TREMONT% ACCEPT pos.
General Fremont has written a letter ao
cepting the - nomination for the Presidency
bestowed upon him by the Cleveland Conven- ;
tion. He replies to the charges against him
of creating% schism in the Republican party,
charging that Mr. Lumpur has not been faith
ful to the principles he was elected to defend.
He says this is not a mere contest between
candidates, but for the right to hal? candi
dates :
The o Is under the Constitution,
and the laws of th country have been violated
and extraordinary powers have been usurped
by the Executive. It is directly before the
people now to say whether or not the princi
ples established by the revolution are worth •
maintaining.
If, as we have been taught to believe, those
guarantees for liberty which made the distinc
tive name and glory of our country are in
truth inviolably sacred, then there must be a
' protest against the arbitrary violation which
had. not even the excuse . of necessity. The
schism is made by those who force the choice
between a shameful silence or a protest against
wrong. In such considerations originated the
Cleveland Convention. It was among its ob
jects to arouse the attention of the people to
such facts, and to bring them to realize that
while we are saturating Southern soil with the
hest blood of the country in the name of
liberty.. .we have really parted with it at home.
Te-day we have in the country the abuses
if a military dictation without its unity of
action and vigor of execution. An adminis
tration markd at home by disregard of con.
stitutional rights, by its v elation of personal
liberty and the liberty of the press, and, as a
crowning shame; by its abandonment of the
right of asylum,'a right especially dear to all
free nations abroad, its course has been char
timer', ed by a feebleness and want of princi
ple which has misled European powers and
driven them to in belief that only commercial
interests and persunal aims are concerned,
and that no great principles are involved in
the issue. The admirable conduct of the
people, their readiness to 'make every, sacrifice
demand, , ,r of them. their forbearance and
1 sileßT under the suspension of everything
ilp4tiauld be suspended. their many acts of
1 heroism and sacrifices, were all rendered
- fruitless by the incapacity, or, to speak more
exactly. by the personal ends for which the
war was inatta ! rrti This incapacity and sel
fishness naturally produced such results as
led the European powers. and logically
enough, to the conviction that the North,
with its great, superior population, its im
mense resources, and its credit, will never be
ably to ooerce the South. Sympathies which
should have been with us from the outset of
this war were turned against us, and in this

THE RESERVES
It ever a band of war-worn veterans deser
ved well of the la❑d of their birth or of their
ad•iptiun, it is the shattered remains of the
two brigades of the Pemisylvania Reserve
Volunteer Corps, who once -more tread the Boil
of the old Keystone, and who receive the
grateful applause of every loyal citizen, from
our chief magistrate to the humblest among ,
us. No soldier the most knightly, no patriot
the most reverential, could leav a prouder
record to his children than they. With
swelling hreast and kindling eye they can ex
claim, We helped to save the capital of the
nation after the horrors of tae firetliull Run ;
we struck a blow at Drainesville which rejoiced
every loyal heart in America, and which
siii:ered some of the proudest spears in all
the ranks of Lee. They can boast that at
Fair OAR no flags were borne further into
the fierce heart of the fight than the glorious
banners of the Reserves. So, too, at Gaines's
Mills, at Cedar Mountain, at the second Bull
Run, at Chantilly, at South Mountain, at
Fredericksburg, at the Wilderness, on
their native buil at Gettysburg, at Sputtsylva
nia, and lastly, when their term was out, at
Bethesda Church I The sound of the enemy's
cannon has always been joyous music in the
cars of the Reserves, and loath were they ever
to march to the rear while that fierce thunder
reverberated along the skies. They can tell
how they stood in the ranks, or marched by
the flank during the " Seven Days," when
three thousand of their comrades fell fighting
gloriously ; when at the storming of the
awful heights of Fredericksburg, seventeen
hundred more of their tried companions sealed
their devotion with their blood ; when at An
tietam twelve hundred more yielded up life
and limb ; and at Gettysburg where Round
Top was made an altar, smoking with fire and
blood, while musketry rang and cannon thun
dered as scarcely ever before in the history of
war. Their record during Grant's campaign,
now so recent, will ere long assume the en
chantment of time and distance, and will glow
and glitter in colors more magnificent as years
roll by, so that its memory will be an heroic
spell to touch the hearts of far off generations
of posterity. —Bulletin.
