Gentlemen : It is doubtful if any Pitts
burg paper is sufficiently Radical to grant
me a hearing on the present state of our
country, but I cannot be silent aud see
h-.T deadly peril, and, in my native cifv,
where I spcut CfU-eu years laboring, iu
season and out of season, to avert the ca
Luiity of a war for the overthrow if ela
very, I roust try to give the note of warn
ing. If any coiiiiiiuiiity can be aroused
in time fo take any effective steps to meet
the coining cri.-is.it ought to be that
which was first to take note of the ap
proaching storm, bf tn Great Rebellion,
tnd which so promptly took measures to
defend the Constitution against itself, by
uocoti.stituiionaliy refusing to permit their
arseual to be robbed for the purpose of
overihrowing the Constitution.
Geucral Neal Dow in his letter on the
President's coup 'd ctnt, tells how tiiahv
thousand loyal soldiers will camp oa the
equares in ssiiington, and what a nice
ti-jie they are going to have ; yet he Joes
not gay just how they are to get here.
He talks as though it would be quite a
pleasant picnic excur.-ioc ; and a McCicI
Ian graud review. This is the common
vie taken by loyal men. Will our states
men, philosophers and soldiers answer to
themselves this one little question.

piace; mat, in time oi peace, it is com
pelled to pay tribute to Marylaud ; and,
in time of war, must conquer the right of
way, across the Slate, at the point of the
bayonet. They overlook the fact that
every approach to the city of the wilder
ntss, aud the city herself, has been thor
oughly fortified by Yankee brain and
muscle, and handed ever to the cnemv by
iguee magnanimity; that the madman
who, by the wrath of God and folly of the
Republican party, now holds the capital
of this nation, her uefcuces, her arcbieves,
her prestige with foreign powers, her
treasury, aud the command of her army
aud navy, is one who. from the first, has
' ' I
nl? differed with his colleague, Jefferson
Davis, as to the best means of whippiu"
the Yankees.. Davis thought it would be
easier to whip tlieiu if be got OD the OU
sJJq of tlie Union
Johusou thought the !
"eit battie grouud lay on the inside.
The '
good-humored Yankees furnished Jeffer-
son with forts, munitious of war and ra
tions, then held him up with his right
hand, and boxed his eats with the' left
until the Great Outsider surrendered, af
ter first seeing his eoleague iu the position
to try kit plan of warfare. The ovcr
inagnauimous Jonathan furnishes the Rig
I with every possible facility for trying
his way of whipping Yankees, does bis
voting, turns Lis' tobacco iu his cheek,
whittles his stick; and waits to see what
-n ,:, .. '.

Was the North' j'wiifial-Ie in Sghlins
Davis under all the self-imposed disad;
vantages, which prolonged . the war" fo
years, aud cost the; lives of more tLau ai
hundred thousand loyal men, and a thou
sand millions of tteasure ? Will the be
justifiable now. in. eutcring on the second
phase of this traitor war, with a similar
J recklessness . of. expenditure ? ' Has not
Mr. Johnson given sufficient notice of his
policy, or did ever conspirator more openly
prosecute his plaus ? Ilia purpose to con
quer the free North ', to turn it out of the
Union ; aud put the Government iuto the
hands of traitors lately in arms to over
throw it, could not well bo u.ore clearly
aud pertinaciously expressed thaa by his
icordt, since February 'ilst, 1SC6,and his
icorks since November 8th, 1SG4. Stead
ily, as the needle to the pole, has been
the entire line of bis . actious, since the
day of his election as Vice Piesident, and
he is no more iu the interest and couii
deuce of the leader? of the rebellion, to
day, than be was when the assa&siu's bul
let placed hint iu position to do this work.
W hod he threw off the mask, on the
22d of February, he already had- the twEiil sius to no less, powerful agents thaa
hundred thousand paroled rebel soldier?
reorganized, arms withiu their reach, vr
iu their bauds; and then more defiant,
aud in better condition to fight, than at
any time for the three years previous.
Now, the Nonhei'u people are waiting for
him to commit an overt act! Suppose
that Davis' subtle intellect is guiding the
brute force of J ihnson's stolid belief in
himself, aiid that seeing the uselessness,
or rather dsngef. of bis wasteful haran
gues, he kecpi quiet until Congress meets;
and a large proportion of our civil aud
military leaders are congregated ia Wash
ington ; that be then seize the city, shoots
Stanton aud Graut, for disobeying orders,
hangs all the Republican members of
Congress, as traitors, p'aee Ih-auregard in
command of the defences of the city, Lee
at the bead of the army, for restoring the
Utiion ; makes Davis, virtually, Secretary
of War, and holds, as hostages, all the
loyal people found iu the Capitol who ma
bb thought of more value for this purpose
than for execution.
If something like this should be the
outline of his "overt-act," and he should
have secret organizations iu our principal
cities .to strike simultaneously aud occupy
loyal men, even a short time, in restoring
order at home ; and Governor Srran'i
should be at all active iu barricading 15;.!
liniore and Annapolis, General Dow's
Northern soldierit would have warm work
before they should camp ou Capitol Hill !
Thirty years ago I was voted insane fur
wyiug that God could not be just and per
mit this natioa to escape a fearful and
bloody retribution (or the crime of sla
ve', and I would God it were anything
but an overwhelming condition of truth,
drawn from facts and their inevitable lo"-!
ical conclusions, which makes me certain
to-day that the above ii an outline of 31 r.
Johnson's purpose, and that he will be
permitted to carry them out far enough
to scourge this nation fearfully, for her
breach of faith to her faithful allies, for
the tens of thousands of murders aud
outr?es aouimitted upon them in the past
eighteen months ; and our national repu
diation of the claims of justice under a
maudlin pretense t'f mercy alien to every
law of Christianity, which ever requires
repentance as essential to pardon.
Many people, in looking on" the dark
pfofpect before us, throw aside responsi
bility with the coJifoitable thought that
Providence is attending to the nation, and
we can look after our own private affairs.
Providence worts by means, and those
who trust God, intolligcutly, must be cur-
tain of Leinr on Ilia side, and iu the day
of battle, kc;p our pt.wder dry,

heu this government was organizedjpu .... .. . J
our fathers, at the bidding ol French in
fidelity, deliLeiately excluded from the
Constitution all acknowledgment of the
existence and . authority of God. They
eves erased II is Dame frota the oath of
office required by our chief magistrate,
and to-dsy, for anything which appears in
our fundamental law, the God of this na
tion may be a crocodile. They expect
tbe Supreme Ruler of the Universe, the
Saviour into whose hands all judgment is
committed, to work miracles iu defence of
such a government, is a sublime height ot
piety difficult t attain. True, we have
occasionally bad a fast day, and got a lit
tle drunker than usual, but this lays the
Deity under no special obligation to take
care of t;:', while our Bins, and Ilis justice,
.oblige Him to visit our iniquities , upon
us; so that if "every drop of llnoddrawn
by tlie lash shall be repaid by a drop
d.awn by the sword," so, that if all the
wcltH beapod , np by the laborers who
have reaped down our harvest, aud whose
wages, by us, have been kept bacfc, shall
be swept away in our common ruin, we
can only say that "the judgments of the
Lord arc true and righteous altogether."
It we would only get on the Lord's side,
act on the principle that lie ''has made
of otic blood all 'nations of men to dwell
upon the face tf the earth ;" and learn to
render unto !1 men that vMiich is jirt
and equal, wo might confidently rely ou
I!:s fight arm ; but I caunot see this gov
ernment deserves anything, at His hand,
but utter dcs!ruction. IJe will ultimately
establish a government, in this country,
which shall be the nevcleus of the world's
Republican crvi.'izition, in that it shall
acknowledge Christ as "King of Kiugs
anl Lord of Lords," but He must fi.'si
''thoroughly purge His floor" and it ap
pears now as if we would resign our na-

MOSES A PARALLEL-
The radical Unionists in the Western
Stales are enjoying a parallel ran by
(some wit on the prairies between our
Johnson "Moses and the Moses of Scrip
ture, to the effect that
Moses led Lis peopla through the sea;
Johnson led his into it.
Moses asked Pharaoh to let the people
go; Johnson was asked by Congress to
let the people go, but wouldn't.
Moses -cast down aud broke the Lble
of the law ; so has Johuson.
. Moses erected a serpent iu the wilder
ness an 1 tub people lived: Johusoii erect
ed a serpent iu New Orleans and the
people died.
Moses slew an Egyptian; Johnson
"flew" himself.
Moses had Aaron for a spokesman;
Johnson has his spokestnau. Aarou made
and showed a calf; Johnson's man made
and showed a menagerie.
Johnson entertained "quails at the White
House.
Moses sang a song of triumph ; John
son sings on the other sido of his mouth.
Muses was angiy with the people ; so
is Johnson.
in mioses time there were plagues bv
it-ason of haugjng on to slavery and maiu
taiuiog the slave power; so there are iu
Joliusona'.
Moses esteemed reproach greater than
the riches of Egypt, for he had respect
unto the recompeuse ofihe re-war.'; JoLn
j;n estcsui's his "policy" far above re-
l i . ...... .i .
1 ' 1
reuse oi the paruoti-bnkers.
Moses was the meekest man : Johnson l
is the 'uiublest individual.
Moses sent spies to spy out the land,
and they brought back an evil report; so
did Johnson, and thev brought back in
creased Radical majorities.
Moses didn't bring his people iuto tho
promised land ', so didn't Johnson.

A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR,
BOLD ABDUCTION Olf A T01TNO OIRI.
A STRANGLE NO CLUE TO THE
WHERE A ROUTS OTt FATE OF
THE VICTIM.
BY
lit rcoria (Itl.) Democrat, Oct. 1 1
YestcTday afternoon a man went to
the livery stable of L. Wells, on Water
street, pn eured a horse and buggy at;d
I rrgis'fcred his name sfs William It. Smith,
About half past two a man aiwering
J the same description called at a houe
near the Home Mills, and tried to induce
a voung girl to go riding with h;m. The
girl told hitu to go away, as she was not
acquainted with him. The fellow drove
down upon Adams street and met a boy,
Jimmy Morse, son of John II. Morse.
Esq , and, engaging in conversation tfith
him, told biw he was going a nutting, and
would like to get some ladies to accom
pany him.
He a?ked young Morse If he could tell
him where some pretty young girls lived
whom he could get for company, Jimmy
told hioa Le could, and mcLtioted the
duuuhters of Mr. William Triplirtt, ie
siding ou Walnut street below Adams.
Smith instantly said that he knew them
and went so far as to claim them as rela
tives. He theu drove to Mr. TripleH's,
and Jimmy got lis friend, Miss Isadore
Tiipltlt, aged fourteen, to accompany
them, npjn Siliith assuring them that
there was to be another girl in the party.
They then went to the residence of Mr.
M orse, on Liberty street, where the boy
alighted for the purpose of procuring
some sacks, and making preparations fur
the proposed expedition. As soon as he
j alighted, Smith whipped rip his horse
and drove up the street nt a rapid pace.
Yt ung Morse immediately gave the
alarm. The news was conveyed to Mr
Trip'.ett, and a Mr. Fiazer pioc-rel a
horse and started in pursuit up Adams
Street to the forty. Finding no trace of
the fugitives, he returned, and several
other gentlemen commenced a search for
the mhsin; girl.
Up to ten o'clock last evening, however,
no further trice of them had been found,
save that a gentleman says that he saw a
horse and buircv, answerinz to the de
scription of the cne which Smith procur
ed of Mr. Wells, on the road t'j Morton.
This gentleman states that he saw a man
and girl in a buggy, but did not notice
who they were.
The nTilr is very "mysterious, but may
be cleat ed ftp in a satisfactory manner
yet ; but from the actions and words rf
the r.i.m Smith, it is thought that foul
play was "nfended. Parties are now on
the search for the fugitives, and it is
hoped that they may be overtaken before
it is too late!
Smith is uos'TiheJ 2s wearing a brown
cost and blue jasits. Further than t!.i,
no clue to his appearance is known. We
ne not a gre;:t :!vca!e of mob l.nf, b:it
if what is surmised should prove true, we
hope to set the man Smith lynched.

The same writer says of Mr. Astor :
Unlike Mr. Stewart, William R. Astor is

pied by his father
He has a front aud -
tack office, where the business oi Lis

wide open between the two offices.. . A
person asking for Mr: Astor is directed at
once to the rear room. At a commou
desk, crowdei with papers, sits a German
baking man, about seventy, heavy mould
ed, tall and stout. His eyCS( which are
suiall, with an expression hrrdering n
stupidity, are fastened yn the viaiur, and
Mr. Asfor waits his utterances. - He wastes
no words. His answers are yes or 'no.
with an air that ai'uu'ts of no debate. A 11
j the day long, from ten to five, Mr. Astor
sits in his oliiee and sees all comers. - lie
is ma-ter of his business. He knows the
reut of every house, the duration of every
lease, the tin :s nu l terms of pavn ent

he rises, and with a slow and sluggish gait
he turns iuto liror.uwny and walks to La

liam B , Jr. These young men are in
business with their father.' No bankers
in New York atteud more closely to their
calling. Tbcy are modest, retiring, and
without affectation. John Jacob is tall,
large, heavily built, with sandy hair and
complexion reseu.bliiig his father. lie

A SHERIFFS' ATTACHMENT.
. Court was in suss-iou, aud amid the mul
tiplicity of business which crowded upon
a SLcriff at term tini";, he was led to the
door of a beautiful widow on the sunny
side-of thirty, who, by the way, had of
ten bestowed malting glances oa the afore
said Sheriff. He was admitted, and tbe
widow Eppcarcd. The coufu.-iun and
flight which the arrival of her visitor oc
casioned, set off to greater ndv.mtago tb'j
captivating charms of the widovr M.
Her cheek bore the beautiful blende!
tints of the apple blossom ; her lips se
r'enibled the rosebuds, upon which tho
morning dew ct lingered, aud her cye3
were like quivers of Cupid ; aud glaccesj
of love and teuderness with which they
were filled resembled arrows which only
invited a "beau'' (pardori the punj to do
full execution. After a few coiumoa
place rcmat ks.
"Madam," said the matter-of fact Sher
iff, "I have an attachment for you."
A deeper blush thau usuil mantled the
checks of the fair widow, while theglancd
of her downcast eyes wero entered upon
her beautiful foot, which, half concealed
by tio-viug drapery, patted the flour. She
with CiU;'l cindur replied :
"tir, the attachment is reciprocal." .
Fur funic time the Sheriff r.taihtair.eJ
an rstonished silctite. and at length sau! :
"Madam, wiil you proceed to court?"
"Proceed to courj,'' replied the lady,
with a nirry laugh , then shaking htr
head, she said ;
'-No, fcir, thottgli t!.i.;; u Icrp year, I
j will not take advantage of the liccisa

"Rut, Madam, the justice is "-aiting."
"Let him wait; I am not disposed to
hurry matters, and besides, sir, when the
ceremony is performed, I wi.-h you to un
derstand that I gie.;tly prefer a miuis
