"CLING TO TILE CONSTITUTION, AS
THE SHIPWRECKED MARINER CLINGS
rO THE LAST PLANK, WHEN NIGHT
AND THE TEMPEST CLOSE AROUND
HIM."--:DANIEL WEBSTER.
Valedictciry.
With the present number of THE
INTELLIGENCER my connexion with
the paper ceases. It will be publish
ed hereafter as a weekly and daily
paper by Messrs. COOPER, SiNDi:R
SON & Co., and will in the future, as
in the past of its history, render a
faithful and fearless support to the
men and measures of the Democratic
party, and to the great and leading
principles of the Constitution which
are the only bond of our Federal
Union.
Here I might safely stop but an
intimate relationship with the De
mocracy of Lancaster county, as the '
publisher of their organ for the last
fifteen years, impels me to say a few
Words, in addition, upon taking leave
of the editorial chair. Coming
amongst you almost an entire
stranger, I have, nevertheless, from
the first, enjoyed your confidence to
a very large extent, and have bad
repeated proofs of your kindness
and good will. In return, you will
pardon me for saying that I have,
with unflagging zeal in the good
cause, endeavored to the best of my
feeble ability, to do my whole duty;
and if I have failed in any particu
lar, (and who has not failed at times
in accomplishing all that was ex
pected of him,) the failure arose less
from intention than it did from a
want of judgment. It was an error
of the head—not of the heart. But,
amid all the ups and downs of politi
cal parties, the changes and tergiver
sations of men with whom I was
once pleasantly associated in politi
cal fellowship, and the turmoils and
difficulties with which the country
has been familiar for the last three
or four years, growing out of the
elevation to power of a sectional,
anti-national party, it is a .gratifica
tion to know that the good old
Democratic party of Lancaster coun
ty preserves its integrity pure and
unsullied, and that its numerical
strength is fully one-fourth greater
than it was when I first "pitched my
tent " in your midst. This will be
clearly manifested by contrasting
the popular vote of 1863 with that
of 1849. Fifteen years ago you
counted less . than six thousand
voters, all told—to-day you number
nearly eight thousand good and true
hearted men who can be implicitly
relied upon in any and every emer
gency.
My successors are comparatively
young men ; but they bring with
them to the discharge of thir re
sponsible duties, considerable ex
perience in the business, with clear
heads, honest hearts, abilities of a
high order, unflinching devotion to
the principles of Democracy, and a
determination to succeed in the en
terprize upon which they have em
barked. They will do their part
manfully and fearlessly ; but their
success depends on the manner they
may be sustained by the Democratic
party. Kind wishes alone will not
avail. They must have something
more substantial. The entire pa
tronage of the party should be con
ferred upon them with a liberal
hand; not a half-hearted, sentimen
tal, stinted support, but a living, ac
tive and energetic patronage in sub
scription, advertising and job work
—and then prompt payments in
ready cash to cheer them on their
way. If this is extended to them,
by every man in the county able to
afford it, they will succeed in their
undertaking, and in proportion as
success attends them the party will
be correspondingly benefited and
strengthened.
And now, having introduced my
worthy successors to the favorable
consideration of the Democracy of
the County and State, it only re
mains for me to bring my editorial
labors, for the present, to a close by
wishing the most unbounded success
to the Old INTELLIOENCER, which for
five and sixty years has so faithfully
battled for the right against political
wrong and corruption of every kind,
and to bid my Democratic friends
farewell. To my political opponents
of the press and others, tor many of
whom personally I entertain a high
regard, I have not an unkind word
to say at parting. They were en
titled to their dissenting opinions,
at least so long as the Federal Con
stitution was in full vigor, and, al
though we disagreed politically, and
ever shall disagree, unless they get
their eyes opened to the dangerous
fallacy of the doctrines they advocate
and support, the difference was of
that nature as that it has left no
heart-burnings behind, at least so
far as I am concerned.

ger We are requested by Messrs.
COOPER, SANDERSON & Co., the new

TELLIGENCER will be issued weekly

Tuesday as heretofore.
The Convention Postponed.
The Democratic National Com
mittee has postponed the meeting of
the Chicago,:. Convention until the
29th of August. This change has
very generally been advocated by
the Democratic press of the loyal
States, and may be the best policy—
although we can not exactly see it in
that liz,ht. Still, the deed is done,
and it is the duty of all to submit,
and in the meantime endeavor to
get the working machinery of the
party'in order, so as to be ready for
a short, vigorous and decisive cam
paign of two months after the can
didates aril placed in the field.
The $3OO Commutation Clause.
The Senate on Thursday week,
passed a bill to repeal the $3OO
commutation clause of the Con
scription law, and allowing the fu
ture term of service of drafted men
to be restricted to one year. The
ote on its final passage was '24 yeas
to 7 nays. The House, however,
on Tuesday last, struck out of the
bill before it. the section repealing
the $3OO commutation clause, by a
vote of 100 yetis to• 50 nays. So
that it is not likely the repeal will
pass during the present session.
LINCOLN'S GREAT JOKE
Mr. LINCOLN'S favorite joke about swapping
horses while crossing a river, has become a
great argument. He first told it when asked
to remove Cameron from the office of Secretary
of War. We• were then engaged in great
military operations, and it was no time for a
change in the War Department. But the
great occasion on which he used it was when
the committee of the Baltimore convention in
formed him of his nomination. He thought
the convention acted wisely, and that the
people would act wisely in confirming that
action, and to illustrate and enforce this view
he repeated his spat joke. Since then we
notice that civet' the learned and dignified
EDWARD EVERZTT has condescended to employ
the same argument in support of Lincoln's re
election. As this joke or story has thus be
e trne historical, and is to be made the great
support of the " smutty joker's " claims to
re-election, it is well that the reader should
have the story in full. It is, in brief, as tol- ,
lows : An old Dutchman undertakes to swim
a niare and a cult across a river : and he, not
being able to swim, grasps the colt by the
tail for safety, when the trio - plunge in and
make for the opposite bank. The colt, with
his heavy load, soon spends his strength,
shows signs of giving out, and as he begins to
sink, lookers on, standing on the banks, shout
to the Dutchman to let go the , cult and lay
hold of the mare's tail, as she is as strong as
ever, or both will go down ; but the obstinate
Dutchman replies It is no place to swap
horses in the middle of a stream." Down he
goes with the colt to a fool's death:
Now this story is peculiarly applicable to
" the situation," and the prospect is that the
adherence to the old Dutchman's rule, by our
peopl', will he followed by a like result. If
the Dutchman had swapped horses in the
middle of the stream," he would probably
have got safe over—saving not only his own
life, but his colt also. But adhering to his
notion that it was no place to swap horses, he
lust both. Now our people and their Govern
ment are literally in the middle of a stream,
and, like the Dutchman, they find they have
a weak and unreliable support in those who
are unfortunately in charge ol their affairs.
Shall they, then, follow the stupid and fatal
rule and example of the foolish old Dutchman,
or the sensible dictate of common sense ?
Shall they stick to the sinking coIt—LINCOLN,
or lay hold of the strong mare—the patriotic
Democracy ? This is the great question, and
the full story, su often brought forward by
the ' smutty joker," forcibly suggests the
only correct and sensible answer.
ABOLISHING SLAVERY
In the House of Representatives, on Wed
nesday, the bill or resolution proposing amend_
manta to the Constitution of the United States,
abolishing slavery throughout the Union, was
defeated. The vote was ninety-four ayes to
sixty-Jive nays, being eleven short of two
thirds. But three Democrats voted for it,
viz : Messrs. Bally, of Penn, Odel, of New
York, and Griswold, of New York.
It thus fell eleven yeas abort of the two
thirds necessary fur its adoption. The House
was s very full one at the time of calling the
yeas and nays on this question, and the vote
was the largest one there has been this session.
Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, subsequently gave notice
that he would move a reconsideration of the
vote, and the matter will probably be post
poned till next session.
No ABATEMENT ON STATE TAXES —By
recent Act of Assembly, the abatement of 5
per cent. heretofore allowed to counties on the
innount of all State Taxes paid into the State
Treasury prior to the let of September in any
year, has been repealed ; land in i s stead, a
pe na lty of 5 per cent. will be added cn all
State taxes that remain unpaid on and after
the first et August, to be charged in the
duplicate against each delinquent tax payer
in orreare at that date. It will therefore be
seen that the prompt payment of State lazes
will henceforth be equivalent to a saving of 5
per cent, to all our tax paying citizens—a
molter of considerable importance to those
who are rated high on the tax lists.
A Joe? DECISION.—The Supreme Court has
affirmed the decision of the Common Pleas of
Cumberland county, in the case of Kennedy
vs. Oswald and others. This is the celebrated
Mechanicsburg case in which a self-oonetitu
ted " Vigilance Committee" arrested a Dem
ocratic oitisen of York county on suspicion of
being a secessionist, and were mulcted in
$l,OOO damages.

The" Wax.
The movement made by General
Grant has at length become plain.
He has divided his army into two
portions. One part, consisting of
Brooks, Smith and Burnside's corps,
is entrenched in front of Bermuda
Hundred and CitZ Point, the outer
lines extending almost to Peters
burg% The other part, consisting of
all the cavalry and Wright, Warren
and Hancock's corps, has been sent
westward on a gigantic raid around
Petersburg. The object of this
column is to cut. the railroad run
ning south from Petersburg to Wel
don, in North Carolina, and the one
running southwest from Richmond
to Danville. By keeping Burnside,
Smith and Brooks in the entrench
ments running across the neck from
the James to the Appomattox, and
from thence south between City
Point and Petersburg, Grant hopes
to accomplisho objcts. He would
defend his supply posts, and prevent
any large force of the enemy from
going after the other column. That
be will defend his supply posts is
probable, but it is not very likely
that he will keep Lee employed.
The moving column left the neigh
borhood of Petersburg on Tuesday
night. The cavajry led the advance,
- Wright followed them ; Warren fol
lowed Wright, and Hancock brought
up the rear. They retired some dis
tance from Petersburg before they
began marching westward. They
then advanced around to the south
and west on a curved line with a
radius of about ten miles from
Petersburg. They then moved close
ly together so that Wright and the
cavalry led the advance, whilst War
ren and Hancock brought up the
rear. They crossed the Norfolk
Railroad and the Jerusalem road
running southeast from Petersburg,
a short distance beyond the railroad.
The rear guard closed all communi
cation with City Point. The cavalry
on Wednesday reached the Weldon
Railroad running south from Peters
burg, and began tearing up the rails.
On Wednesday night the rear cross
ed the Jerusalem road.
General Lee had discovered the
movement almost as soon as it be
gan. He sent columns out of Peters
burg along the Jerusalem road and
the Norfolk Railroad. These col
umns reached the _Federal troops
marching westward across these
roads, on Wednesday night. The
Federal flank was attacked.. Han
cock at once faced towards Peters
burg and began a contest. The
Confederates captured four guns and
four hundred prisoners by a sudden
surprise. The column advancing
westward was halted and turned
towards Petersburg. Wright formed
the left, Hancock the right, Warren
the reserve. The Confederates made
some brisk charges but were re
pulsed. Thus stood affairs when our
report suddenly closes. Scarcely had
the battle with Hancock began,
when the Confederates made an at
tack upon the entrenchments in
front of Burnside at City Point.
The result of this is not reported.
Our latest intelligence from the
army is to 6 o'clock on Thursday
morning. It is unofficial. Secretary
Stanton has sent us nothing. Over
forty hours has elapsed since the last
news left City Point. He could, we
suppose, have done so last night.
Grant's position is a perilous one.
His army is divided into two parts l;
The enemy is between them. Thurs
day last must have witnessed the
most important events. Secretary
Stanton must know the result. No
storms or raids have interfered with
the wires. He has not even, as is
his custom, told us that he had no
intelligence. Last evening the telei
graph office gave us official notice
that no more news would be sent, as
early as half-past twelve o'clock.
The usual hour of such a notifica
tion is from two to three o'clock.
To-day a steamer leaves for Europe.
Secretary Stanton, by his silence at
a most critical moment, causes all to
fear the worst results.
General Forrest has just started
on a raid to cut the railroads in
Sherman's rear. His forces are
marching against the one. connect
ing Nashville with Chattanooga. On
June I.7th he crossed the Tennessee
River near Eastport, in Alabama,
just south of the Tennessee line.
All the Confederate forces which
have been in different portions of
Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama,
are with Forrest, and he has a large
command. Eastport is about one hun
dred and fifty miles southwest of the
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad.
It was Forrest's intention to start
on this expedition some time since,
but General Sturgis' advancing col
umn prevented it. As Sturgis is
now out of the way, and the de
struction of his army broke up the
only force capable of withstanding
Forrest, he will have a clear course.
The correspondents from the portion
of Tennessee threatened by Forrest,
write in a very gloomy manner.—
General Rousseau commands the
department. He has a large section
of country to defend, and a very
small force. He has built block
houses at various points, in anticipa
tion of this raid. They are to be
posts of refuge for detached forces,
when the enemy can be kept at bay,
until a force, held in readiness to
march wherever needed, can go to
their rescue. The idea of opposing
Forrest, however, seems to be given
up. It is taken for granted that the
railroad will be cut and the only re
deeming feature of the prospect is
the hope that Forrest will not hold
it long. In preparation for this
raid the Federal authorities have
stored large quantities of provisions
at Chattanooga.—Age of Saturday.
IMPORTANT ADMISSION.—The N. Y. Timer,
the leading Lincoln organ in New York,
Had Mr. Breekitiridge, Mr. Douglas, or Mr.
Bell been elected, there would have been no
rebellion.
Let all men bear this in mind and ponder it
well. All the misery and woe of the last
three years, which Lincoln - himself admits
have literally caused thelteavens to be hung
with black, have resulted from the triumph of
the Republican party. All sensible men now
see and admit that the putting of Lincoln and
his insane partisans into power, was the cause
of this gigantic war.
.The only way now to
remedy this, is to put Lincoln out and put a
Conservative Democrat in.

has been overthrow,'
imperial throne established, and a foreign
prince placed upon it, not only without the
opposition, but v ith the tacit consent of the
present administration of this country. How
ever its principal officers may seek to palter
with the people in a double sense, and equivo
cate as to what it has really done in the mat-
ter, no sant man can doubt that the Monroe
doctrine has been virtually abandoned by our
government, and that when the Archduke
Maximilian accepted the throne proffered him,
be was well assured that he need fear no in
terferenee on the part of the United States.
It is unquestionable, says the New York
Atlas, that Louis Napoleon could never have
'succeeded in hie designs upon Mexico if our
government had firmly resisted them from the
first. They could have been completely frue•
trated two years ago, easily and peaceably,
and without giving the French government
any just cause for complaint. The pretext
for the invasion, in the commencement, was
the collection of debts due to European sub
jects, of which only a small portion
was due to those of France. A loan
of a few millions only would have enabled
Mexico to pay off those claims, or at least
make such satiefaoto6r arrangements with her
creditors as would have taken away all excuse
for an invasion. Mr. Corwin, our minister,
negotiated a treaty with Mexico for a loan for
this purpose, but its ratification by the Senate
was defeated by the influence of the adminis
tration.
Again, there can be no doubt that if the
United States, in connection with all the Cen
tral and South American governments, who
would gladly have followed her lead in such a
case, had solemnly protested against the sub
version of the Mexican republic, and evinced
a determination to defend its 'integrity by
force of arms if need be, the Emperor of the
French would have desisted from the prosecu
tion of his scheme and declined a contest with
a whole continent. At that time the Monroe
doctrine could have been enforced by di
plomacy, now it can only be vindicated by
actual warfare. 'Phe administration has, by
its truckling subserviency to France, placed
this country in such a position that we must
either give up the traditionary policy that has
come down to us from our forefathers, or en
gage in a war in which Mexico, France, and
probably Austria, will be united against us.
There is no third course open to us. If we
intend to uphold the Monroe doctrine now,
we must be willing and prepared to fight for
No•argument is required to prove that the
administration does not intend to become in
volved in a war with France, or any other
European power, if it can possibly avoid it.
It will rather prefer to abandon the Monroe
doctrine, provided that it can be done with
safety to its political prospects. It dare not
recognize the Mexican empire at present, and
therefore Minister Corwin is conveniently
absent from his post on leave of absence ; but
after the presidential election has taken
place it will no longer have any motive for
dissimulation, and we may expect to see Mr.
Corwin return to the City of Mexico duly ac
credited to the Emperor Alaxiinilian. The
only way Atochich the predominance of the
influence of the United States on this conti
nent can be secured, and European interfer
ence rendered forever hereafter impossible, is
by the election of a President who will bring
the war to a speedy close, and turn the united
arms of the restored Union against the in
truders upon American soil.
WET BLANKET
The nomination of Lincoln is everywhere
a wet blanket to the hopes and enthusiasm of
the rank and file of the Abolition party. The
three years' trial of him makes the people
almost shudder at the thought of seeing him
at the head of affairs for another term. In
other Stares, the failure to respond to the
nomination (outside the office-bald ors' ring) is
observed as is as marked here. The nomina-
Von falls with a damp chill. The Detroit Free
Press. says :
" The news of the re-nomination of Lincoln
fell like a wet blanket on thh few seething
Abolitionists of Detroit. They acted as
though they were heartily ashamed of the
work of the Convention, and we don't wonder
they were. We supposed they would fire a
rusty gun, raise a flag. or hire a few cheap
boys to burn crackers, but not a sound was
heard, not R funeral note.'"
The Chicago Times of the 10th says:
"The intelligence of the nomination of
Lincoln at Baltimore fell dead upon the pub
lic sense of this city ; the attempt at a ratifi
cation meeting last evening was a still more
mortifying failure. It was indeed a most sig
nal failure. The meeting was held iu the
open air, hut the people present would not
have filled Byron Hall. And the proceedings
were as spiritless as the assemblage was
meagre."
The Nashville Press, published at the capi
tal of Tennessee us the orgaiit of the " loyal "
voters, declared, befure the nomination, its
estimate of the candidate tor the Vice Presi
dency as follows:
"As between Fremont anti Lincoln, The
Press is unconditionally for the latter, upon
condition that Andrew Johnson is not placed on
the ticket."
Andy Johnson. a supporter of Breekinridge
in the last Presidential .ampaign, seems not
to be popular at home more than here.
INCREASE OF PAY IN THE ARMY
The President has signed and approved the
act to increase the pay of the soldiers in the
United States army. It provides that on and

Reg. P. V., who was wounded in the battle of the Wilder
nese, died at Alexandria Va., on the 22d inst. He had
hems in the service bate few months, and had already
won the resrect of the officers and men by his soldierly
qualities. Ills funeral took place on Sanded - afternoon,
and was attended by Capt. Bear's company, Humane En
gine Company, No. 6, and a large number of citisorts. The
funeral cortege proceeded to Woodward Hill, where the
remains ware interred.
EDITORIAL Excoitslos.—The editors of our

through the right groin, Inflicted in the battle of Spott

For The letelligeneer
Nissans. RPMII.S: I noticed iu the last issue .4 tit , Ex
aminer A. Herald. an account of a small fight which oc
curred in chorclitown, alemt a work ago, which the re..
pee er cheose4 to call a ''Llnpperheaol riot." The whole of
as stated in the paper. is nil • Infamous mierepr dßentn•
Hon of the occurrence, and the author of it I suppose is
one of the party. and in order to rover the diagram,
thought he would throw the blame on the Copperheads of
the place. I know not what the political sentiment of the
Baud or the whiskey bloats, whom they bought with
them, is; but the nom who we,t, engaged in it ab ut
Chur"htown. were both Democrats and Republicans—all
of them respectable men. The author wculd like to make
it appear that the men from the town were in the fault,
and they altogether innocent; he says they drank too free
ly of what he calls — pc.tash and rain water:' but the
members of the Band appe,rell to he pretty fond of It, for
they took eight ornine drinks of it before they came up
to the Academy, where they were to play for an entertain
ment which was given there by the Principal of the
Academy. As I mentioned before, they had drank too
much of the article which steals away the brain, where
there is any; I do not know whether they would have non
ducted themselves much better it they had drank none,
for their heads are about as empty as the drums upon
which they beat. And the result of it was they threw up
the contents of their stomachs in the room, which the
Principal had to clean oat the next day—by the way, not
a very goo recommendation to give any person who
wants to procure their services.
Some of the members of the Band are fine men, gentle
men in every sense of the word ; bat a part of them and
some whiskey rangers who travel with them, are a die
grace to the community which they repreeent. I should
have said nothing about them, If they had not made Bud'
a gross misrepresentation of the affair. It appears from
what I could learn that the building was noon tilled, and
some ladies that came late, were obliged to remain outside
of the building, and during intervals, part of the Band
and the afore mentioned things with red eyes which
look as if they were trimmed with red lace, commenced
blackgnarding the ladles who wore present, in such a
shocking manner, that some of the citizens of Church
town and vicinity chastised them pretty severely by
playing on their whiskey swollen noses with their fats;
many of the cowardly scamps thought prudence the het
ter part of valor and retreated into the Academy, not,
however, till some of them wore badly hurt; some escaped
with the lose of their bate and parts of their clothing,
but not a man from Churchtown or vicinity was hurt.
They like all cowards wore so frightened that they would
not leave the Academy, and they asked one of the teacher,
to lock the door and let them remain in the building till
the citizens could be persuaded to retire to their homes,
and about four o'clock In the morning they made their
(racoon. some of their eyes were no swollen that they had
to be led to the wagon. I believe they are in the habit
of lighting and quarreling wherever they go.

COPPERHEADS BY EXPRESS
The Daily Express of Jane 23d, 1864, Bays of the
Copperhead' that,—
"De owes all he possesses, whether property ac

No such thing. By Copperhead' Democrat is
meant, and we Democrats owe nothing of any
value to those whom we condemn. On the contrary,
we owe the blessings enumerated, not to a set of
perjured Abolition corruptionists, but to as Union
as xt was and the Constitution as it is.
In a disorganized and impoverished community
there would no schools nor education, and the Cop
perhead and his family would be as ignorant of let

Then why this Abolition disorganization, when
the Union as it was gave us education , t Mr. Geist
(Geist, dam heiszt, wenn wir Englied' sprechen

Lincoln's habit of joking, or he would not talk of

with stolen and runaway slaves, who in one night
from the " ignorance of slavery " develop into " in

FAIRFIELD, Lancaster County,
June 16th, 1864.
EDITORS INTBLIJOENCER : There was not a little
excitement in this usually quiet village, occasioned
by the shooting of &citizen, supposed to be a deserter,
by an assassin who claims to be acting on authority
from the Provost Marshal of the county. The cir
cumstances of the shooting are substantially as fol
lows :
An unknown person (since discovered to be a
fellow answering to the name of Byerly, and a
resident of Puddingtown, this county) entered the
hotel of E. D. Waters, about four o'clock in the af
ternoon, where meeting the wounded man he ac
costed him as follows: " Your name is Edward
Hewes, and you must go along with rue." Hewes
demanded his authority for arresting him, which
Byerly refused to exhibit, saying, his pistols and
handcuffs were his authority, and drawing the hand
cuffs from his pocket, attempted to fix them upon the
wounded man. Hewes shook him off a pace or two,
when Byerly drew a • pistol and deliberately fired
two shots, one taking effect in Hewes' left arm be
low the shoulder, and the other entering the upper
front part of the right aide of his chest, penetrating
the lung and inflicting a dangerous wound. The
assassin immediately left the hotel, crossed the
street, entered a store kept by a very loyal" citizen,
tarried but a moment, came out, entered his buggy,
and drove off at the top of his horse's speed.
That the military authorities have no„,iust, claim
upon the wounded man, would appear from the fol
lowing circumstances: A person claimed to havelis
longed to the same Regiment and CoMpany that
Hewes does, was arrested last fall, confined a while
in Fort McHenry, taken from thence to the Rapidan,
marched with and was present at the capture of the
rebel position at Mine Run by the Army of the Po
tomae, for a period of three months subjected to all
the ignominy and privations of a prisoner, being
closely guarded all the while,
and finally discharged
from custody on the ground that the regiment - to
which he belonged, if any such organization ever
did exist, was not in existence at the time.
There is living in this district the son of a fiery
loyal " citizen, known to belong to the same military
organization, of which Hewes is a member, (the two
appear to be the only survivors of the Regiment,)
who Is still at large. Nothing is said about arrest
ing, nor the least disposition manifested to Interfere
with him. These facts are known to the greater
portion of the citizens of the township, erien to the
keeper of ,the Horned BMW Tavern, where Byerly
has been in , the habit of stopping, and without
doubt han. been made acquainted with the same
notwithetandbir which, Brady
h eeWu heard to
express himself to the edict, that would not at
tempt to arrest Hewes, but would if he got his eyes
upon him shoot him down. -fa view of all the air
eumstanees of the Ogle, the question naturally arises
has not the treetuanitof Hewes been meet pointedly
partisan, end are nota set of base men employed
to assassinate Democrats on the merest pretexts ?
That Hewes has many Mends who deeply sympo.
this, with him in his misfortune is evidenced by the
crowds that, visit him daily; but that there are
some In this community et utterly lost to every
feelbg of humanity, as to exult over the probable
death of a - felloW creature is lamentably the fact.—
Two persons, one a brawling Methodist, the other
(perhaps a third, recently committed,) preying
Prabyterian, (both rather below the average reli
gious morals of the neighborhood,) have been heard
to rejoice over what they conceive to be the consum
mation of an ardently wished for murder.
A correspondence between the President of
the Southern Confederacy and the Governor
of North Carolina, which took place last De
cember, has just been published. It shows
plainly enough that the' denials of the Wash
ington officials and of the Republican press
that any measures toward peace had been
attempted to:be inaugurated by the Confeder
ate authorities were unfounded and false.
Gov. Vance, because of wide-spread discon
tent with the people of his State, addressed a
letter to Jeff. Davis, imploring him to make
overtures of some sort to our government for
the cessation of hostilities, in view of bringing
about a permanent peace. The Governor ex
presses the belief, that their overture rejected,
it would have the effect of crushing out all
discontent in his State, and of making the
people a unit in the cause of Southern icicle
,.
pendenoe.
. Jeff. Davis replies to the Governor at length.
in opposition to his suggestions ; but as we
have no interest in points of etiquette regard
ing the personal opinion of either, we confine
ourselves to quoting the following important
paragraphs from Davis' communication. He
says :
"We have made three distit.ut efforts to
communicate with the authorities at Washing
ton, and have been invariably unsuccessful.
Commissioners were sent before hostilities
were begun, and the Washington government
refused to receive them or,bear what they bad.
to say.
A second time I sent a military officer, with
a communication addressed by my-elf to
President Lincoln. The letter was receirod
by General Scott, who did not permit tho
officer to see Mr. Lincoln, but promised that
an answer should be sent. No answer has
ever been received.

The third time, a few months ago, a gentle
man was sent, whose position, character and
reputation were such as to insure his recep
tion, if the enemy were not determined to
receive no proposals whatever from the , Oov•
ernment. Vice President Stephens made a
patriotic tender of his services in the hope of
being able to promote the cause of humanity :
and although little belief was entertained of
his success, I cheerfully yielded to his sugges
tion, that the experiment should be tried.
The enemy refused to let him pass thro'
their lines, or to hold any conference with
him. He was stopped before he even reachep
Fortress Monroe, on his way to Washington.
To attempt again, in the face of these repeat
ed rejections of all conference with us. to send
commissioners or agents to propose peace, is
to invite insult and contumely, and to subject
ourselves to indignity without the slightest
chance of being listened to."
Our object in quoting this is to direct the
reader's attention to Davis' statement regard
ing the mission of Mr. Alexander Stephens.
We all remember, for it is about a year ago.
when he approached Fortress Monroe, on a
mission to Washington, and how our authori
'ies refused to receive him. When it was
Meted that he had been authorized to enter
into Deg itiatiuns fur peace, it woe denied by
the Administration, President Lincoln himself
declaring that he had received nu hirers what
ever trout Richmond, of a desire for a cessa
tion of hostilities. At last we have the truth,
however. Mr. Stephens desired a conference
with our authorities, but as soon as the nature
of his commission was ascertained, he was re
fused an audience. He went back to Rich
mond, and immediately our Administration
commenced lying in regard to his purposes in
visiting Washington. It was feared that
Stephens would offer to lay down the rebel
arms thatdenied himadmission to Washington.
lie had always been a thorough Union man, up
until the opening of the rebellion, and is so
now ; and the fact of Jeff. Davis sending him
on a mission of peace to our government,
shows bow anxious they all were-to lay down
their arms end return to their allegiance.
But in order to prevent him or his govern
ment from ever again asking for peace. Mr.
Lincoln issued his proclamation, which Davis
notices as follows. It will be seen how suc
cessfully Lincoln has man.ged to prolong
hostilities. Alluding to Lincoln's proclama
tion Davis remarks :
" Have we not just been apprised by that
despot that we can only expect his gracious
pardon by emancipating all our slaves, swear
ing allegiance and obedience to him and his
proclamation, and becoming in point of fact,
the slaves of our own negroes ? Can there be
in North Carolina one citizen so fallen
beneath the dignity of his ancestors as to ac
cept, or to enter a conference on the basis of
these terms ? "
Nobody grudges a word of praise for the
negro troops which they honestly deserve.
Whenever they do better in battle than is
expected of them, it is but fair that they
should receive credit in reports of command
ing generals, provided, always that the valor
of the white soldier ie not unjustly slighted by
omissions, or by invidious comparisons. But
fulsome laudation of the negro at the expense
91 the white soldier is quite another matter.
It is nauseous and intolerable ; and• if indul
ged to to any extent by radical war corres
pmdents and newspapers, must produce an
intensity of dislike, on the part of white to
wards black soldiers, which will have a bad
effect in all army operations where the latter
ar engaged.
)me remarkable specimens of this exagger
at, hero-making of the colored soldier, and
Stu ied depreciation of the white one came all
the say from Cincinnati by telegraph, on
Fr day, fur the " Associated Press," accom
panying the details of Gen. Sturgis's defeat.
The negro troops are glorified throughout ;
but there is not a word of extenuation for the
pour whites. " The colored troops were the
last to give way." " The negro troops gath•
ered ammunition from the east away accoutre
ments of the white troops, and thus were
enabled to keep up the fight until they reached
Memphis." "One body of 1,600 (white)
infantry which were out off and supposed to
have been captured, were defended by 200
negro tro .ps from the repeated assaults of the
rebel cavalry." " Another body of negro
troops came in (to Memphis) having escaped
by vt.rious roads. All brought their arms
and accoutrements with them."
The inference which the reader is expected
to draw from these statements is, that the
white troops were a mob of cowardly wretches,
and the negroes a phalanx of heroes. Every
man an Ajax, gallantly taking eight craven
whites [in the ratio of 200 to 1,600] under
his powerful protection ! It is not worth
while seriously to refute such a string of pre
posterous _ absurdities. A man might as
gravely undertake to point oat the probable
exaggerations in the travels of Lemuel Gulli
ver or Baron Munebausen. Every intelligent
person knows, without waiting for truthful
and impartial reports to come along, that,
however the black truopa might have conduct.
ed themselves, there can be no reason for this
continuous, insulting disparagement of the
whites.
The radicals, who originate theee etoripe
fur well known political objects, will find that
they aro handling a weapon that cuts both
ways ; for nothing would be so likely to bring
about a tremendous reaction againmt negro
troops and their injudicious eulogisers as this
class of outrageous libels upon the whits sol
diers of the republic.

'FOE DOCTU.I2IIIIf. OF SULCLDIS.
The Hen. D. W. VouRnEEB, of Indiana, ill
a letter written te his oiiiistituoilts ou publi6
affairs, remarks
" But you may ask, in this connection, end in
view of the fact that war lies failed to bring

Federal Government. •• it the doctrine of sui
cide and cannot l e defended"—but it
singularly enough happens that that was the
doctrine of the '• loyal" &
Cc., before the war, when they objected to
coercion, and asked to " let tae Union elide."
Such men—and such are those who now gov
ern the country—denounced Democrats before
the war as " Union savers," and denounce
them now because they would, if possible,
conciliate the people of the rebellious States
and bring about a restoration of the Union
under the Constitution. When the history of
this bloody war and imbecile Administration
comes to be written by a capable. and impar
tial historian, it will be shown that those who
most vaunted their " loyalty" were the
greatest, perhaps the only, traitors in the
land.
A MILLION OF MEN
On the Bth inst., a debate °mired in the U.
S. Senate upon the bill relating to the $3OO
exemption clause, in which Mr. WILSON,
Chairman of the Military Committee, made
sevecal statements of deep significance. In
reply to Mr. COZ‘INESS, of California, he said :
A 4,1. listened to the earnest, intense, nu :u
say passionate words of the Senator fru n
California, I almost wished that I too was a
man of courage, that 1 too had this confidence,
this hope, and this boastfulness. The Senator
from California speaks of the spasmodic action
of the administrators of the government in
raising men during the last few months.
Does he not know that we have raised or re
enlisted since the 17th day of October last six
hundred thousand men, not to count black
men, and that within the past year we have
put in the field seven hundred thousand men ;
that we have made an exertion, such as few
nations can make; that we have spent $26,-
000,000 in bounties ; that we have drafted ;
that we have used the whole power and influ
ence of the government to increase our mili
tary forces ? Sir, we'have put forth an effort
which excites the astonishment and commands
the admiration of the world ; yet the Senator
from California, whose constituents have not
been drafted or called upon, rises to-day and
rebukes the Administrat:un, rebuked us, and
talks
,glibly of the timid c .unsels of men who
are quite as hopeful, d.tortnined, and brave
as himself. Mr. President, Ido not question
the devotion or courage of.the men of Cali
lornia. They have proved their devotion to
the country un more than one occasion. But,
sir, that Senator should remember that some
of us live in communities where the calls are
over and over again ; where sons, brothers,
relatives, friends, neighbors,' all have been
summoned to the field of duty, and have re
sponded to these calls. While we, their rep
resentatives, are ready to vote men and to
vote money, we want to make these sacrifices
of men and blood bear as lightly as possible
upon our people. Humanity and justice alike
demand it. General Grant is in front of
Richmond. The rebellion is `• coiled," to use
the language of General H Joke , ,at Richmond,
and within ten miles of the capital of treason.
We have sent forty-eight thousand men to
reinforce Grant,since the commencement of
his march toward the rebel capital. Within
thirty days we have gathered up over the
country these reinforcements two thousand
of whom are the one hundred days' men
, raised in the State of Ohio.
Using these startling assertiot.s as a basis,
the Washington Intelligencer calculates that
this government has now under arms for *le
suppression of the rebellion one million of
men as follows:
The seven hundred thousand men put in the
field during the last year are exclusive of
those whose previous term of enlistment for
three years, dating from the summer and fall
of 1861, has not yet expired, and are, we sup
pose. exclusive of the " hundred " days' men
recently added to our present forces. The
['vast aggregate of the troops now under arms
in our service, and on the pay rolls, can there
fore be easily conceived, if not accurately
known in the 'absence of official statistics.
The number can fall but little if any below a
million of men, and certainly touches a height
which justifies the statement of Mr. Wilson
when he says that the country has made " an
exertion " to fill. up the ranks of the army
" such as few nations ever made and few
cations can make."
