Afloat Again.
For three weeks we have issued no Centre
J democrat. The first reason we have to give
t;ur readers for not issuing is that Jas. S.
Brisbin. bertofore Senior editor of this pa
per and Geo. 11. Burkeit one of the appren
tices, left to battle for constitutional Free
dom; Mr. Burkert having gone with the Fen
eibles and Mr. Brisbin having received a
xjientenancy from Pennsylvania's true and
tried son, our efficient Secretary-of-War,
Hon. Simon Cameron. The Lieut , after
receiving his appointment withdrew his con
nection with the paper. The second reason
is that we could not go on until we had eol
lecjed some of the "sinews of War," for it
takes money to keep'a paper moving, and
if our subscribers will be a little more punc
tual in paying up, we think we are now
ready to run the "old machine" till the cl jse
of the present volume on our own book.—
But we must have money or something as
good. If our patrons do what is fair we will
give ttem the best newspaper in Centre ooun
ty. Col. Browu has kindly consented to con
tinue his connection with the paper, as As
sociate Editor. Of his ability, certainly, we
used not speak.
Tbe Centre Democrat has been and still is
tbe advocato of the People's Rights—es
pecially tbe rights of the Farmers, Mechan
ics and laboring men df th 9 country. Such
it will continue to be, aud we know that the
honest and sturdy men of Centre county
will not do without it if they consult their
own interests. The best evidence of the ap
preciation of the Democrat by tbe honest peo
ple of Centre ccunty, is that tbey have
supported it so long, notwithstanding the
strong opposition it has had to contend with
cn account of its plain outspoken truths.—
Thus it will ever be. Truth will always
meet with opposition. And a plain, honest
advocate of tbe working men of the cctintry
will always hav a strong and enduring op
position frum Capitalists and monopolies, at
tbe North as well the South—in the Old as
well the New World. Hence the necessity
of the farmers, mechanics and laboring men
of the oountry reading and thinking and vo
ting for themselves, regardless of the in
trigues aud dictation of party leaders aud
political demagogues.
We went into the last Campaign with all
the honesty of our heart voting for Abraham
Lincoln and Andrew G. Curtin, as the rep
resentative men— the one of tbe Nation, the
other of the State—of a glorious and an
eternal principle-Liberty and Freedom,—
The Constitution and-the Laws. Tbey stood
upon the Chicago or Republican platform,
which we believed contained all there was
left of "Equal and Exact Justice to all," in
tbe Country. The result since has proved"
that we were right. And therefore we have
no apologies to make. So long as the Na
tional and State Administrations carry out
the[doctriDe3 of that platform, and what ever
other measures in behalf of Constitutional
Liberty, the present emergency may re
quire, they shall have the support of the
Centre Democrat. And if it becomes neces
sary, wa will drop tbe pen, the stick and the
rule, and take up the musket in their defence
and in defence of the Old Flag.

Commissioners of Centre County.
Never since the organization of Centre Co.
has there been a better or more efficient
Board of Commissioners than tbe present. —
Thomas Hutchison, Ira Fisher and Jno.
Mo'Calmont Esqs. Of course Maj, F- Bur
kert was a most exoe'lent financier and
therefore good Commissioner, but his place
is well filled by Jno. Mc'Calmont Esq. The
■ tax payers of Centre Co., need have no feare
while they 1 ave such men ;o take care of
their interests. The County is in debt and
we want it distinctly understood that the
debt of the County oreated by the building
of tbe Court House, has been diminished
every year. A few years more will entirely
obliterate ths debt, and then of oourse tbe
county tax will be less and the oredit ef the
county fully restored. The oredit of the
county, notwithstanding the hard times, has
never been better than for the last two or three
years. Of course since the war broke out or
since the March Court very little money has
been paid in by the collectors and if tbey do
not pay in the Treasurer cannot pay out.—
All, we think, will be right in a few weeks.
At present however the tax payers have no
reason to regret that the present board of
commissioners were elected. Such men
should be kept in office all the time.
Action at Aquia Creek,
From the telegraphic news of the-2ad iaot.
we gather the following facts concerning
the actions at Acqaia Creek. On Friday tbe
action lasted two hours. On Saturday it was
renewed SDd continued twice as long. The
rebel force is 200 strong. The steamers
Freeborn and Pawnee entered the conflict on
Saturday, At first tbe batteries kept up a
brisk fire. During the action the 'Pawnee'
fired one hundred and sixty shells. Tbe
Observer through a telescope saw many of
tbe rebels taken away ID wagons, supposed
to be killed and wounded- Tbe FreebornJre
oeived several shots, one passed through her
cabin, The Pawnee received ten shots, but
all too high to do much damage.
The railroad depot, en shore, and the buil
dings at the landing were destroyed. Ten
rebels kilied and many wounded.
Death of Stephen A, Douglas.
Stephen A. Douglas is dead ! He has
been seriously ill for 6ome time and bis death
occurred on Monday June the 8d at 9 o'clock
in the morning, in Chicago. At tbe time of
his death be was 49 years old, having been
born in Brandon, Rutland county, Va.,
April 23d, 18i3. We have a brief sketch of
his life, which wa will publish next week.
Complaint of the Volunteers, and
Gov. Curtin.
We love the good and loyal men who eae
rificed every thing and went to the war to
defend the Constitution as it is and the un.
ion of the states. They are nable and gal
lant fellows. No state has turned out bet
ter or braver men than the old Keystone.—
It appears from a few of the Republican pa"
pers and nearly all the so called Democratic
papers that these brave volunteers have not
been as well cared for as tbey should ba7o
oeen. There may bo some, no doubt there
is much truth in the charge. From our
stand point we eannot tell.
By these papers Dev. Curtin comes in for
the whole of the censure. We can easily see
why the Democratic papers carp' upon the
corruption in the army and the wickedhess,
as tbey allege, of robbing the poor soldier.
Tbey expect to make political capital 1 out of
it after the war is ended. They expect'to
ruin Gov. Ourtin and breakdown the Repub
lican party. But why Republican papers
should make such a fierce warfare upon our
noble Governor, before be is first proved
guilty, we cannot for the life of us under
stand, unless they have beeo applicants for
office and wete disappointed. But why
should a man deseit his principles because
forsooth, be is disappointed, or foiled in his
political aspirations ? There can be, cer
tainly, no principle in euch a man.
But these papers say there is corruption,
and robbery carried on to a great extent. —
Thousands of dollars expended, and yet the
soldiers not half fed or clothed. Now we do
not care to drag politics into the question at
such a time as this, but sinee tbey have done
it we must speak in self defenos, and in de
fence of our glorious principles, our party,
and our Governor.
The Democratic party died of the black rot
of its own inherent sorcuption. When
Cobb was robbing the national Treasury of
Millions of Dollars, when Floyd was stealing
our guns and moying, them South; when
South Carolina and her rebel sisters were
filching from us our forts, arsenals, mints,
and even our merebaut vessels, all or nearly
all of the Democratic papers defended the
swindlers and endeavored to shield the per
petrators of these crimes because they were
members of their party. This we can never
do. We can never advocate any party or
man who is guilty of stealing the peoples
money. Shame on the Democratic papers
we say who are now splitting their lungs
crying out corruption against Gov. Curtin
when they would not open their mouths to
expose the villians of the administrations of
Franklin Pierce and Jas. Buchanan and
their aiders and abettors.
When we studied law we learned that, the
greatest oriminal in the land was to be ad
judged innocent until from the evidence in
the case a jury of his country would find a
verdiet of guilty. So it should ever be. We
are all to ready too see our neighbors faults,
while we are blind to own. We ate all too
apt when wese N a poor devil going down
hill to give him a kick in the the rear to aid
him in his downward progress. Or when we
see a fellow man, it may be a poor man ri
sing in life a little faster than we, envies,
jealousies, heartburnings ariee, and even the
meanest slanders are published to the world
toru : n his character, and to bring the object
of our hate to our level. How mean and
contemptable! bow narrow minded, how
hellish is such a principle !
And yet this appears to be the principle
by which the Philadelphia Inquirer and the
Locofeco papers through out the state are
governed in their mean and selfish attacks
upon Gov. Curtin. If all those charges of
corruption are true, some person is guilty.—
But why censure ths Governor, when per
haps be knowß nothing of this rascality un
til he sees it blazoned forth iji news papers?
Col. Curtin was bom in our own County,
here he has lived and practiced Law for
yeare and even his worst political enemies
never dared to charge him with being dis
honest in his buisness transactions. The
vote of the county last fall shows how dearly
he was beloved by those who knew bim so
, well. What ever faults he may have and
: none of us are without them, wa cannot be
leive, we will not beleiye that he would ever
misappropriate money or steal from the poor
s soldier, or shield the scoundrels that do it.
The Chester County Times in speaking up
on this subject, says, " Thus far we are in
, clined to the opinion that Gov- Curtin is not
, the instrument knowingly or willingly of
. these outrages mistakes he may have made,
, for no man ever had more crowded upon him
, as an executive than he, in the first rush of
this military excitement. The confidence he
, has placed in otherßmay have been abused,
, nay it is evident that it has been, but we re
peat the prooj has not pet been presented to
show that he has connived at these abuses."'—.
The Times is one of the most reliable county
- papers in the State, and its Editor always
talks like an honest man. And like every
othor upright citizen of ho refuses
to orj out against Gov. Curtin until the
proofs of his connivance at wrong is addu
oed,
If Gov. Curtm has made mistakes it was
by placing in power men who have been lead
era in the Democratic party for yenrs, and
who learned to steal while members of thai
party, who care nothing about him or bis
administration only so far BS they can fill
their own pockets. Much of the blame seems
to attach to the Quarter Master General —
Reuben 6. Hale, who has always been a
Democrat and is still a member of that par
ty. But even him, we will not condemn un
til we are satisfied of his guilt.
Next week we wUI publish the letter of E,
FT. Rauch, Esq., Chief Clerk of the House of
Representatives, and also an article from the
Chester couuty Times on this subject. In
the meantime we importnne tbe Republican
papers and members of our party, and all
honest men in the Democratic party, not to
be too rash or too hasty in their opinions un
til the whole thing is investigated and tbe
guilty party ferreted out. Goy. Curtin has
commenced the good work. We hope be will
not atop until he hurla every man of them
from power and fills their plaoea with good,
THK CBIWT3R.K OEMOCRAT.
honest practical men. If be does this be wil]
not only make himself immortal, but his
heart will be made glad by the hearty greet
ngs he will reeeive from ouf patriotic but
abused soldiers as they return from tie war.
We will have more to say next week.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, in some portion of the
union, is condemned fordoing that which the
people applauded Jack6oD and Clay for en
couraging and accomplishing. When An
drew Jackson grappled with nullification, he
was sustained by the people outside of South
Carolina. Treason then had no time to gath
er its strength or concoct arguments and
plans for its defences. Its first ebulition was
met with disapprovals. Its first armed array
was defiantly encountered aDd suppressed.—
Jackson, when he accomplished the supres
sion of nullification, did not entirely suoeeed
in extracting the poison of treason from the
band of traitors that have beon ever since
increasing in the South. They have been
flourishing in that locality for twenty-five
years, and have been in that period the re
cipients of more official favors than the peo
ple of any other section of the United States.
The army and navy have been crowded with
education at West Point and the Marine
Academy at the expense of the government
—education with a view of one day turning
their knowledge and experience against the
government at whose bounty tbey were made
proficient and accomplished. After nullifi
cation had been suppressed, not' eradicated,
this was the mode adopted by the Southern
people for usurping the government. Asd
now that Abraham' Lincoln is doing just
what Andrew Jackson did, he is abused by
the people of the neutral States as a eoercion
ist—while the rebels themselves pronouDoe
his administration a mockery and outrage.
The administration of Abraham Lincoln has
not gone as far in its determination to sups
press this rebellien as did Andrew Jackson
go to but an end to nullification Jackson
proclaimed his determination to hang every
traitor found with a weapon iu his bands
arrayed against the government. Abraham
Lincoln's administration must make the same
declaration. If he is true to his oath, he
cannot escape the enforcement of thd law,
and that law expressly fixes death as the pen*
elty oj treason. Let us have nothing but th 9
simple performance of duty, end the unwa
vering exercise of justice in the suppression
of Jhia rebellion. Conaession and compro
mises have been proven to be mere subterfu
ges of traitors th 9 meanest and weakest kind
of inventions to cajole and flatter dema
gogues. Let us now have the law tn letter
and spirit in stern resolve and terrible exe
cution, as Jackson proclaimed it, and threat
ened to have it administered, viz: Death, to
traitors.—Harrisburg Telegraph.
The Relief Fund.
ID pursuance of tbe provisions and direc
tions of fourteenth and fifteenth sections of
An Act of Assembly of Pennsylvania appro
ved tbe 15th day of May 1861, entitled " An
Act to create a loan and to provide for Com
missioners of Centre county, constituted by
the said act a Board of Relief, met at the
Commissioners' office in Bellefonte on the
23d day of May, A. D. 1861, when the fol
lowing resolutions were adopted •.
WHEREAS, In obedience to the requisition
of the Governor of this commonwealth, call
ing for volunteers to support the Govern
ment, a number of citizens of the couDty of
Centre formed themselves into volunteer
compaDies aDd were mustered into service,
whereupon sundry persons agreed to pay to
John Tonner, E. C. Humes and Samuel Linn,
the amounts respectively subscribed by them
for the support oi families of the said volun
teers, during their absence in tbe service of
the country, or such proportion of said sub.
scriptions as the said committee in their dis
cretion may deem D6cessary. And WHERE
AS, tke said committee have called in an in
stallment of 25 per cent, and a small propor
tion thereof has been paid iD and applied to
its legitimate purposes, and the said vols
unteer committee are willing to give to tbe
Board of Relief the benefit of said subscrip
tion so far as the same can be properly aud
equitab y so applied, therefore,
Resolved, That tbe said committee for vol
unteers' relief be requested to proceed imme
diately to the collection of the assessment of
25 per cent on the said subscription and that
they pay the unexpended balance to tbe
Board of Relief and furnish the voucheis for
so much as they have expended.
Resolved, That all subscriptions heretofore
made voluntarily to tbe relief fuod as stated
in the foregoing preamble, tbe Board of Com
missioners will give county orders, payable
twelve months after date, and bearing six per
cent interest, as soon as fifty per cent shall
be promptly paid on the said subscriptions.
But no order will be granted to any subscri
ber who shall not promptly pay 50 per cent
of his subscription or who shall have to b6
sued for the same.
Resolved, That no person paying less than
50 per cent on bis subscription as aforesaid
ehaU be entitled to a county order as afore
said for the same.
Resolved, That the Treasure shall not ap
propriate to pay out any of the military fund
for any other purpose than to supply tho fam
ilies of the volunteers as provided for by the
said act of assembly.
Resolved, That the Commissioners of Cen
tre county be and are hereby authorized aud
directed to lay a speoial tax of one mill on
tbe dollar on all the taxable property of the
said county, for tbe purpose aforesaid.
FIGHT AT FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE.
ALEXANDRIA, June I.—At daybreak this
morning, Company B. of the U. S. Dragoons
while reconnoiteing in the neighborhood of
Fairfax Court House, twelve miles from
here, were fired on by the rebels. The drag
oons charged through the village four times.
Lieuts. Tompkins and Gordon both bad bor
ses shot under them. Three other horses
were wounded. It is estimated that fifteen
or twenty rebels were killed. The dragoons
took five prisoners. One of the Dragoons was
killed, four wounded and one missing.
TIIK STOPPAGE OF PROVISIONS FOR THE
SOUTH.—The report from the West that pro
visions destined for the South, but marked
for Kentucky, have been stopped on the line
by order of the Government is correct. The
Administration intends, rather in deference
to the almost unanimous sentiment of the
West, than from a conviction of the wisdom
of a policy, to stop shipments, whether di
rect or indirect. The practical difficulty is
to determine whether goods are in good faith
intended for Kentucky consumption,, or not.
SEWELL'S POINT.—This point about whiob
considerable interest is now felt, is situated
on the south shore of Hampton Roads, four
miles from Fort Monroe. If fortified, it
would command the entrance to Elizabeth
Channel, which leads to the harbor of Nor
folk. 1
Letting Alone,
" All that we wanted," says Mr. Jeff Davie
"isto be lot alone." AH that the Rebels in
Charleston wanted, when they were for five
months buildirg batteries to fire upon the
United States flag and take a United States
fortress, wy to be let alone. All that the
rebels of New Orleans wanted, when tbey
stole the Mint, was to be let atone. All that
Gen. Braxton Bragg wanted, as be concen
trated troops and rearel batteries against
Fort Pickens, was to be let alone. All that
the rebels woo took the navy-yard and hos
pitals at Pensacola wanted, was to be let
alone. All that Floyd wanted, as he robbed
the treasury of the United States and put the
arms of the people of the country within
reach of the rebellion, wa9 to be let alone.
All that Toucy wanted, as be sent tbe ships
away and put the navy-yards into tbe bands
of weak men, was to be let alone. All that
Cobb wanted, as he strained himself to cre
ate a disastrous fiaancial pacie in the ooun
try, was to be let alone. All that' the Vir
ginia traitors who went to seize tbe arsenal
at Harper's Ferry, and were going to pos
sess the navy-yard at Gosport wanted, was
to be let alone. All that tbe Baltimore Plug
Uglies want at this moment is to be let alone.
And Jeff Davis) at the head of a rebellion
which struggles to destroy the government
of tbe United States, and would snatch
Washington if it could, merely wants to be
let alone. Yes, and Gay Fawkes going to
touch the slow-match which should explode
tbe powder in the cellar of the Parliament
House only wanted to be let alone. Hicks,
who who murdered the sloop's crew last only
wanted to be let alone. The forger writing
your own name, the incendiary kindling
your store, the thief picking your pocket, tbe
burglar breaking into your house, only want
to be Ist alone.
My friend, if you cry out so lustily, when
yon see the sheriffs officer coming, that yon
want to be let alone, I shall do my best to
detain you until the officer comes up.
During all the years in which the mind of
a section of the country has been carefully
prepared for this rebellion, the leaders of the
movement of their friends have said, polite
ly. "AH that we wish is to be let alone.—
We think that we understand ourselves bet
ter than ycu understand us—so, if you please
only let us alone." There was an inexpress
ible sarcasm in this request. They certain
ly did understand themselves better than we
understood them. They were " let abne"—
and this is tbe consequence.
They have led us by the nose and kicked
us, and laughed at us, and scorned us in
their very souls as cravens and tuppenny
tinkers. They have swelled, and swaggered,
and sworn, and lorded it in Washington and
at the North, as if they were peculiarly gen
tlemen, because they lived by the labor of
wretched men and women whom they did not
pay—whom tbey sold to pay their debts, and
whipped aud maimed savagely at their pleas
ure. They have snorted superciliously about
their rights, while they deprived four mill
ions ol human beings of all rights whatso*
ever, and have sought to gain such control
of toe General Government that they might
override altogether the state laws which pro
tect tbe equal rights of men. Tbey have
aimed to destroy the boneficient popular sys
tem which peacefully and patiently and law
fully was working out the great problem of
civilization ; and while tbey have been dig
ging about the foundations of the temple to
make sure of its downfall, they haye loftily
replied to our inquiries. "We only want to
be let alone."
The teachcry, the meanness, of the whole
rebellion now stand exposed to the world.—
There is nothing heroic in it, nothing just,
nothing fair; nothing that appeals to any
emotion in the breast of honest men but de
testation and contempt. The only two things
that have lately flourished in tbe region
which has bred this rebellion are cotton and
treason. And the eonspiratcrs, who have
now made this clear enough to the dullest
mind, will disoover that the Governmeut of
their eountry will " let them alone" only
when they haye paid the penalty of the mt st
monstrous social crime by flight or the hal
ter, and when tbe seeds of the treason they
have sown are utterly destroyed.— Harper's

-HENRY WINTER DAVIS, while deliver
ing his great Union speech immediately after
his nomination for Congress, on the 25th
inst., in the city of Baltimore, was interrup
ted by a little girl, who held in her hand a
boquet of flowers, deoorated by a miniture
flag. She approached him and said, "Sir,
accept this ; 1 wish you and the Union to
blossom forever, as this boquet here." The
incident elicited the wildest shouts and ex
oitemeiit.

Beariifg False Witness.
There is some excuse for the excitement
of the ignorant southern populace, who are
not permitted by their leaders to eee the
northern newspapers or hear the truth. They
actually believe, in Borne places, that the
present legal, eminently necessary .and just
coercive attitude of the government, is only
an excuse for a bloody abolition raid upon
the slave states. But their leaders know
this to be false, and no crime can be blacker
than that of leading, or forcing those whom
they should rather disabuse, into a wicked
and self-destructive rebellion against the
government by such misrepresentations.—
Inexpressibly wioked as tbeir oonrse is, it
will not surprise those who know the demor
alising effect of political ambition, that dem
agogucs, like Davis and Stephens, are capa*
ble of taking it. They may even succeed in
indueingsome of the weaker members ot the
olergy to back them up, and so add the seem
ing sanctions of religion to their unscrupulous
purpose. Bat there are olergymeu at the
South who know better —men of education,
traveled men, men wbo have both read and
written books, men who have' seemed to
stand dassrvedly high in the Church, and
have had the confidence of Cbristain people,
at the North as well as the South—yet who,
to our amazement, add the weight of their
higher authority to the falsehoods which
are urging an impulsive people to a terrible
doom.
A " Southern Baptist Convention" has
been recently held at Savannah, of which the
Rev. Dr. Fuller, of Baltimore, was president.
In the capacity of chairman of the committee
on the state of tbs country, he submitted a
report, and certain resolutions, among which
was the following:
Resolved , That the lawless reign of terror
at the North, the violence committed upon
unoffending citizens; above all, the threats
to wage upon the South a warfare of savage
barbarity, todevastate our homes and hearths
with hosts of ruffians and felons, burning
with lust and'rapine, ought to exeite the hor
ror of all civilized people. God forbid that
we should so far forget the spirit of Jesus as
to suffer malice and vindictiveoess to insin
uate themselves into our hearts; but every
princible of religion, of patriotism, and of
humanity, calls upon us to pledge our for
tunes and lives in the good work of repelling
an invasion designed to destroy whatever our
donesdo hopes and enjoyments, whatever
is essential to out institutions and our very
manhood, whatever is worth l.viog or dying
for.
Now we care not a copper who else was on
this committee, or concerning it concocting
these atrocious lies. But we know Dr. Ful
ler, and who and what he is, and we hold him
responsible tor them before the world. This
gentleman—who is learned, pious, intimate
with noithern people and feeling a light
among the Baptists, and who enjoys no small
reputation as a solid divine outside of that
denomination —permits these infinitely mis
chievous calumnies to go forth under the
sanction ot his name. Dr. Fuller knows, as
well as any mau in the country, that every
word of this resolution ia false. lie knows
" that there is no lawless reign oi terror at
" the North," no violence upon unoffending
" citizens no threats to wage a warfare of
•' savage barbarity," or to " devastate homes
" and hearths that we bave no " hosts of
" ruffians and felons, burning with lust and
"rapine;'' and that there is not such a
thought in any northern mind as to 'destroy'
all or anything that is " dear," or " sweet,"
or " essential" in the "domestic hopes, en
joyments, and institutions" of the South. —
Da. Fuller, who was the chairman of the del
egation of the " Baltimore Young Men's
Chrislaiu Association" to Washington, a few
weeks ago, has not only the general means
ot information of these matters common to
men of his cultuie and intimate relations
with the North, but the particular advantage
of an intimate acquaintance with recent af
fairs in Maryland. He saw the Massachu
setts troops—he witnessed their long suffer
ing patience, their law abiding forbearance ;
be knows General Butler's cbaracteristical*
ly prompt offer had a moral effect to prevent
servile uprising that wili be felt through the
whole war, and that ought to attract the
grateful confidence of the entire South. At
the headofhis delegation he visited Wash
ington and was fully assured of tne extreme
solicitude aDd forbearance of th 9 President
and all the officers ot his government. Yet
this reverent mischief-maker hesitates not to
go to Savannah, where the fact that he came
from the immediate theater of action adds
auoh weight to bis well known religious rep
utation, and there append his name to the
lying document that we have cited. No
language is too strong to characterize Dr.
Fuller's conduct in thus, with his eyes open,
against his perfect knowledge, and without
the excuse of T OUB f? and hasty impulses,
bearing faise witness against his neighbor, to
the inevitable misleading and destruetion of
thousands and tens of thousands o c those
against whose delusions his voice should
have been lifted like a trumpet.— N. Y.

POSITION or JOHN C. BRECKINRIDGE —A
correspondent writes to to the Louisville
Journal, from Hopkinsville, Ky., May 2,
1861, as follows:
" Breckenridge made an out-and-out dis
union speech here to-day. lie said Ken
tucky should unite with the seceding States
immediately, that the Union was wholly
broken up, and that ha was in heart, and
eoul, and mind, and body, with the South.—
He said that the South had never committed
a single wrong against the North ; that Lin
coln bad begun the war; that the American
people had never owed any allegiance to the
Federal Government, and that " all ultimate
and paramount allegiance was owing to. the in
dividual States," He denounoed the Border
Confederacy, and said that armed neutrality
meant Northernism and Abolitionism. He
said a yast majority of the Northern people
heartily endorsed the wish for wholesale in
surrection, robbery, and murder in the South
expressed by the Chicago Tribune. Tb>s is
a oorrect sketch of the main points of hie
speech."
GFN, BUTLER, now leading in the operations
against the rebels of Virginia, has already
made a spiended military reputation. He is
a man of vast and varied attainments, and
most too keen a northern barbarian for the
F. F. V.'e. Many good aonecdotes are told
of the General, but none better illuetratos
the character of the man, and his shreiA
professional freaks, than the following by a
young factory girl, formerly employed in one
of the Lowell mills. She had been dischar*
gad, and the corporation refusing to pay ber,
she sought legal redress and retained Mr,
Butler for ber oounsel. He listened to her
case with much interest, and afterwards con
sulted the representative of the corporation'
who still refused to pay the girl her wages.
Butler then issued a writ, and attached the
main water-wheel of the establishment, and
by bringing the whole manufactory to a stop
the corporation, rather then allow tbair milla
to remain idle, and await the law's delay,
paid the girl her wages and returned opera
tions.
