• We have not been permitted to remain
long in , ignorancecrthe whys and where-
Sneerer thedepaiture of Mr. Chase from
-the Cabinet Council. We glean from the
Washing ton tokrespOndence of the Phila
delphia Inquirer the folloWing, which our
patrons will read anddigest :
"The causes which led to it havabeen
'brewing for some time. On several oc
casions, daring the last six months, has
Mr. Chase been on the point of tendering
his• resignation, but be has always been
held back by his friends. The vile and
excessive abuse heaped upon him by the
Blair family and their allies have been ex
ceedingly annoying to him,. and the more
so they had , r to all intents and purposes,
the endorsement of the President. So
bitter has the feud become; that Mr.
Chase declined some time since to meet
I Mr. Blair in Cabinet Council, and he has
accordingly not attended late Cabinet
meetings. When - the President commis
sioned Frank Blair as Major General, the
same day hiskdenunciations of Mr. Chasd
were made in the House, Mr. Chase wrote
his • resignation, and was only deterred
from handing it over by the earnest en
treaties of his friend; and promises that
Mr. Blair would be repudiated by the par
ty and the Prtisident. The Convention at
Baltimore did repudiate thus, bat the
President declined to act.
During the' last few days, a:successor
was to be appointed to Mr. Cisco, Sub-
Treasurer in New York
Mr. Chase made several attempts to get
leading fmancieis, in New York, to take
the position, brit 'failed. Mr.' Field, now
assistant Secretary, and who filled the po
sition of assistant to Mr. Cisco for many
years, was selected by Mr. Chase for the
position, on account of his eminent fitness
tbr the post, and great confidence was re
posed in him by the leading moneyed
men all over the country.
His name was sent to the President,
who declined to appoint him, and inforia.'
ed Mr. Chase that be wished to do wine
thing for' Governor (now Senator) Mir
gait, and that ho must select one of tbree
men recommended by him. cTo this'Mr.
Chase replied that one was over 70 years
old, and bad not the necessary vigor and
ability. Another was over sixty, bat had
amassed a fortune by dealing in lottery
policies, and his past associations were
not. those which would fit him for the po
.sition The third was from the interior
part of the State, and although an able
and efficient political leader, was a novice
in the ditties of an assistant Treasurer in
an important place like New York, and
was considered by Mr. Chase unfit. fpr the
position.
He so informed Mr. Lincoln, and stated
that unless be could be allowed to select
important officers like this from men com
petent to support him in his work, he
mast accept his resignation, which was
hereby tendered. Thiswits yesterday af
ternoon. His privito ,Secretary, Mr.
Shookes, wrote the reply to the President,
Rain the meantime not a word was men
tioned concerning the subject by any one.
This morning Mr. Chase was in eonsul
tation with the Senate finance arid the
House ways and means committees, up
on his projected new tax bill; when the
information came in that his Successor had
been appointed, and that the Senate was
going into executive session at once, when
the Senate closed doors. Considerable
time was spent in each one asking the
other what it meant ? What next ? &e.,
&o. None were able to throw any light
upon the subject.
The Ohio Senators were in profound ig
norance of the whole movement, and after
BOMB debate, in which Gov. Tod's antece
dents and financial' experience were sharp
ly criticised by leading Senators, it wait,
on motion of Senator Feasenden, referred
to.the Finance Committee. This commit
tee at once assembled, and not, being able
to come to any conclusion, started for the
White House to see the President.
They spe.nt over an hour there, and
learned that Mr. Lincoln was determined
to have a new man in . Mr. Chase's place ;
that that man should comefrom Ohio,and
that Tod was the man.
/Ere seemed toward the last,peremptory
in this, and the committee left him. , The
Senate had in the meantimepostponed
the Matter till to-morrow. The feeling
alt through the ' Senate was , averse to Mr.
Tod, 'Rad" man/ openly declared they
would vote sputa bis confirmation. No
one from 'Ohio was consulted in the Mat
ter.
__Governors peuphion and Ilr?ugh are in
but, were as much surprised as, any
one on biOng of t/id.change. In fpet, ev
ery.Otilo man of any note, seems to be
:twist Mr. Tod for this position, though
there are none but speak highly of him

wa s plaCed in com
mand of that pe and to show, his ut
ter contempt for the White man and his
love for the negro,Ne' detailed white sol
diers to cook the 'rations of the negro!
Fellow-citizens' of Backs county, remem
ber when you come to vote next fall for
President, Oat. one of Abraham Lincoln's
minions, .whsb.does the dirty mirk-of-the
abolition party, actually detailed some of
your own brethren,frota the 104th 'regi
ment to cook thek.rations of the negroes.
This is the way they show their contempt
for the 'Oita man and place the negro
above him. The papers of the Lincoln
abolition party are continually lauding
the negro soldiers to' the-disparagement
of the white troops. This indicates the
consideration, the Lincoln and Johnson
hes have for the white man. A stranger
country might be led to the belief that
the negro was a superior race of beings,
from the spread eagle laudations of the
abolitionists. White men of Bucks coun
ty are-made the menials of the negroes I
Remember, this."
A Terrible Plot Discovered.
It is stated on sea good authority that
Mr. Seward has prepared a grand coup to
demolish the * Democratic party and re
elect Mr. Lincoln. He bas invented a
splendid plot which is to be orposed, of
course, in due time, going to .show that
the Democracy are involved in a vast con
spiracy to smash things generally. It is
is said that a thousand pages of evidence,
going to prove the existence of this terri
ble conspiracy, has been submitted to Mr.
Lincoln, and that a well-known General,
once respected, has lent his name td a tis
sue of nonsensical slanders upon members
of the Democratic party. It is no secret
that a vast system df espionage has beeir
organized all over the North, and proofs
will soon be forthcoming that the mails
are regularly tampered with to find evi
dence, if possible, against persofis who
are inimical to the administration.
Why if we have a meal-tub administra
tion, whose simple - standard is pay and
provender, should we not have a meal
tub plot ? History repasts itself with but
little variation ; and why should we not
minister to power; wreak. private and
partisan' vengeance, sport with public cre
dulity, and win notoriety and pay in the
crooked paths of , espionage, if honest
fame is denied him in.other fields?.
President Line'Cluj has got up a plot.—
He hail set a tame general to work, who
has collated eaves4roppingsand'compiled
inventions to prove that Demociats are
secretly organized to overthrow the gay
ernment. The documentary evidence:fills
one tbausagdpages, and by. the titue.Lin
coin finishes the perusal of another will
be ready . of one tbousind more. General
Titus Oates has the fertility of Sylvanus
Cobb.
At the last advices the.sagacions,Lin
coin was wondering whit he should do
with the plot, and. whether in exploding
it he was not, more likely to burn his fin
gers than blow up his opponents!

of this week :

take the same view. Of , ,Frank Blair's

cabinet o ffi cer to gratify the family pride
of another—we have no better 'opinion.
From this statement we judge the. re

Summer_and his fvUewwers may, , prate as
loudly as they please abent." theloarbar
ism rzf plavery," find Mi* Stowe may rack
hu4nation to create a monster like the
'brutal Legre, but, we bad an exhibition
in'this town during the eiramjnation of
those recently-consoripted, which for in
human and brutal haxbayism, we defy any
slave mart in the world to Match. A fath
er, whii had already pig oneminor son as
a substitute to the human , shambles,
where he fell a victim , "appeared in our
town on last' . Monday, dragging at his I
heels two half grown; ill-shaped boys.—
They were-all the eons he had,. and he
had eontracted, to sell them both as Bub
.6;hutea,, They had been, bargained ter by
" lomat' nien. The smaller one, almost a
mere child, wits prospectively the props
of a lond-mouthed - and pestilent Abets
tioniat-i-a huge beset of a man, who stood
six_ feet two in his stockings and weighed
over 20g pounds. This intensely " loyal"
and " patriotic" fellow, when his own son,
a sturdy, well groWii young man, enlisted,
followed him to .ohambersburg, and
brought him back home on the plea that
he was a minor; and bad enlisted without
his father's consent. Yet he is always full
of war, and eager for fighting so long as
it is at, the expense of the blood of some
oneolse than himself or his own family.—
Being drafted, however, and wishing to
,lesseu the probability of Such a misfortune
befalling him again speedily, and impelled
at the same time to save a little money,
belied bargained with a brutal father to
pay a less sum than three hundred dollars
for the body, the bones, the blood, nay,
,more, the hfe of a child. We defy the
whole South to furnish an instance of such
a disgusting " dicker" in human flesh, or,
from among all the disgraced its soil, such
a pair of monsters es these. There was
.no veil, of pretended - loyalty orSimulated
patriotism to conceal the naked hideous
ness of this transaction. The father was
actuated solely by a sordid desire for gain;
the purchaser was moved by the sneaking
white-livered . cowardice that forbade his
risking his own worthless carcass in a
war for the prosecution of which be howls
daily, and by the mean selfishness of his
nature which prompted him to make a
cheap bid when bartering for a human
victim. A plot had been made np by the
parties to this disgusting transaction by
which they' hoped to deceive the board.—
The boys were made to lie as to their ages,
and represented themselves as older than
they really were. So immature and youth
ful, however, was the appearance of the
little wretches, that the Board refused to
believe the statibmenta made to them, even
though - the father himself lied as to their
ages in order that be might be enabled to
effect a sale of his off-spring. They were
both rejected for this reason, as entirely
too young for the service. The over
grown-human brute, who had expected to
-save himself in this way, sorrowfully and
reluctantly, paid. over his money to save
his cowardly carcass for a time, and the
wretched' father, after reeling about our
streets for a day or so in drunkenness,
went home, much disappointed, no doubt,
in being balked in the sale of his sons.—
There is no coloring about this story, no
fictitious glossing. It is true, just as we
tell it, and known to be so to the very
letter by many - Who Wilfferad this state
melt; We need- make no comment.—
Human language would hitt° character
ize the transaction as it deserves to be.—
The concentrated curses of all the devils

GEM. DPOLELLLN'S FORESIGHT.
The last rebel invasion of Maryland
furnishes another instance of the perils
which have come upon the country by the
neglect ou the part of the administration
of the warnings given by General
lan in the very first year of the war." Sad
the plans of that officer been faithfully
carried oat, not one of the four invasions
of Maryland would have occurred. After
be arrived on the peninsula with his army,
and while he supposed General Banks was
still under his command, it willbe remem
bered that he issued an order to that offi
cer for his guidance in protecting Ma r y.
land and Washington from any attempt of
the rebels by way of the Shenandoah
Valliy. He had previously sent Colonel
Alexander with directions to see if forti
fications could not be thrown up in such
of the Blue mountains as would help de
tain a rebel army marching into Maryland
from that direction. Gen. Banks was dir
ected to post his troops at certain points.
He was also ordered to keep his cavalry
constantly in motion down the valley of
the Shenandoah, so as to be warned of any
approach of the rebels. This order was
dated March 18, 1862; before, in fact, the
actual opening of the second campaign of
the war. When the administration re
lieved Gen. McClellan of control over
General Bank's army, they entirely over.
looked the wise precautions which he took
in guarding the back-door to Washington.
In fact, this Shenandoah valley is the true
gate for an invasion of the North, as the
rebels subsequently discovered, and as
General McClellan's wise prescience had
foreseen. When Mr. Lincoln himself took
the control of the armies out of the hands
of General McClellan, in addition to order
ing the latter officer to approach Rich
mond from the North, he also detached
troops frond the Army of the Potomao,
which were sorely needed—those under
Gen. McDowell—to protect, as he said,
Washington. But where did he place
these troops ? In the Shenandoah valley?
No; they were located at Fredericksburg,
at which point they were of about as much
use as they would have been in Portland,
Maine. The forty thousand men untkr
Gen. McDowell were utterly thrown away,
as was discovered when " Stonewall"
Jackson made his first famous raid up the
valley, driving back Banks to the Poto
mac river. The troops of Gen. McDowell
were utterly useless. "General" Lincoln
had ingeniously managed to deplete oar
army by just forty thousand men. They
were denied to General McClellan, and
put in a position where they were of not
the elightestuse in defending Washington.
The curious reader who will peruse
General McClellan's official report will
know how clearly ho foresaw, before the
campaign opened, that the Shenandoah
valley was the true line of approach upon
Washington. • He will also remark how
far-seeing were the preparations he made
to prevent the rebels ever getting beyond
Chester or Aldie gaps. It the reader will
follow still further the course of the cam
paign in Virginia, be will find that what
General McClellan foresaw brfore the
campaign opened, the administration has
not been able to see to this day. They
have not only failed to heed the positive
warnings of Gen. McClellan, but they
•have also failed to profit by the bitter ex
periences of the three years of war. Time
and again have the rebel armies surged
up the Shenandoah valley, carrying desola
tion to the homes of the people of Mary
land and Pennsylvania, and striking terror
throughout the whole North because of
the menace to the capital ; yet to this day
even the slightest precautions have tot
been taken to guard against this disaster.
Every time the rebels have advanced upon
the valley they have not only not been
impeded, but, through-the most profound
stupidity,the administration has collected .
stores of all kinds at Martinsburg for
their special accommodation. We believe
it can be proved that in• their various raids
up the valley the rebels have been able to
procure stores to- the amount of ten
millions of dollars at that one point. The
northern gate of the valley has never had
a sufficient force to guard it, or a compe
tent general to retard the progress of the
rebel armies. There is probably not in
military history so marked an instance of
prescience as that which Gen. McClellan
'splayed before the campaign opened; or•
so conspicuous an example of downright'
stupidity as has been shown by the ad
ministration in not guarding the Shenand
oah valley so`as to prevent an Invasion of
the Northern States.
This quality of foresight as to the con
duct of the war marked allof Gen.MeClel
lan's military acts. If the reader will
'peruse his instructions to Butler, he will
find that the latterivas directed, immedi
ately upon the capture of New Orleans, to
put his army in motion, and take possess
ton of Jackson, the capital of Mississippi,
and fortify it. If Battler had obeyed
Gen. MeOleUan's orders, and had then tak
en Jackson and fortified it, the country
can understand what fearful losses would
have been-saved in the subsequent cam
• ignii. against Port Hudson and Vick*.
in the very first year of the war,
the trans-Mississippi region would have
been , eetogr from the confederacy, and all
Aliesetticaod stores of Texas would have
