possession exhaustion ; that we are gath
ering strength, aud niay;if need he, iriain
taiu'the contest indefinitely. This, as to
men.
Natural resources are now mpre com
plete and ahundant than ever. The na
tional resources, then, are unexhauste'd,
aud, as we believe, inexhaustible. The
public purpose to reestablish and main
tain the uatinnal authority is unchanged,
aud, as we believe, unchangeable. The
manuer of continuing-tho effort remains
to choose. On careful consideration of
ull the evidence accessible, it seems to me
that no attempt at negotiation with the
insurgent leader could result in any good.
He would accent of nothing short of
the severance of the Union. His declara
tions to effect are explicit and oft-repeated.
He does not attempt to deceive us. He
affords us no excuse to deceive ourselves.
We cannot Toluntarily yield it. Between
him and us the issue is distinct, simple
and inflexible. It is an issue which can
only be tried by war, and decided by vic-
lf we yield, we are beaten;' if the
Southern people fail bim, he is beaten
either way it would be the victory and
defeat following war. What is true, how
ever, of and him who holds the insurgent
cause, is not necessarily true of those who
follow. Although he caunot rcaccept the
Union, they cau. Some of them, w.e
know, already desire peace and reuuion.
The number of such may increase.
They can at any moment have peace
.imply by laying down their arms and
submitting to the National authority an
der the Constitution. After so much the
Governmuut could not, if it would, main
tain war against them. The loyal people
would not sustain or allow it. If ques
tions should remain we would adjust them
by the peaceful means oflegislation, con
ference, counts and votes.
Operating only in constitutional and
lawful channels, some certain and other
possible questions are and would be bey
ond the Executive power to adjust for
instance, the admission of members into
Congress, and whatever might require
the appropriation of money.
The Excutive power itself would be
really diminished by the ocssation of ac
tual war. Pardons and remissions of for
fciture, however, would still be within
Executive control, In what spirt and
temper tins control would be exercised
can be fairly judged of by the past. A
year ago geueral pardon and amucsty up
on specified terms were offered to all ex
cept certain designated classes, and it
was at the same time made known that
the excepted classes were still within con
templation of special clemency.
During the year many availed them
selves of the ceneral provision and many
more would, only that the sijns of bad
iaith in some led to such precautionary
measures as rendered the practical pro
;ccse less easy aud certain. During the
same time, also, special pardons been
granted to individuals ol excepted classes.
and no voluntary application has beeu
denied.
Thus practically the door has been for
a full year open to all, except such as
were not in condition to make free choice ;
that is, such as were in custody or under
constraint. It is still so open to all, but
the time may come, probably will come,
when public duty shall demand that it be
closed, and that in Jieu more virorou.--
measures than heretofore shall be adopted.
In presenting the abandonment of armed
resistance to the National authority on the
part of the insurgents as the only indis
pensable condition to ending the war on
the part of the Government, I retract no
thing heretofore said as to Slavery. I re
peat the declaration made a year ago, and
that while I remain in my present posi
tion 1 shall notattempt to retractor modify
iho Emancipation Proclamtion. Nor shall
I return to Slavery any person who is free
by the return of that Proclamation or by
the Acts of Congress-
If the people' should, by whatever mode
or means, make it an executive duty to
re-enslave such persons, another, and not
I, must be their instrument to perforin
it.
In stating a single condition of peace.
I mean simply to say, that the war will
cease on the part of the Government
whenever it shall have ceased on the part
of those who began it.

Suicide.
We were deeply paiued to learn that
Mr. Jonathau Fincher, au aged citizen
of this place, committed suicide on Thurs
day afternoon, last, by cutting his throat
with a razor. Ur. luncher was one of our
most aged citizens. His mind has wan
dered for some time, and it was in one of
these fits of abberatiou of the mind that
the act was committed. Mr. F. has led
a long life of Christian humility, end was
highly honored and respected by all who
knew him. His remaius were followed
to the grave by a large concourse ot
friends and relatives. He was interred
in the Cemetery on the hill. Mauch

The Enrollment,Board,
Has now been hi session in our borough
for uearly two weeks, and will probably
leave for Easton on Saturday. Since the
Board has been in session here numbers
of our own citizens, and citizens of the
other couutics of the District, have trans
acted business with it, aud we have yet
to hear the first word of complaint. All
with one accord speak in the highest
terms of the gentlemanly manner in which
they have beeu treated, and the prompt
ness with which everything in the way
of business has been done. Men who had
been prejudiced by the evil reports which
had reached them were the loudest in
praise of the Board, and its clever Clerks
Donations.
In view of tlrt high price of every
thing eatable and wearable, and of the
fact that ministers salaries have not
been increased, it becomes the especial
duty of the public to make their donations
as liberal as their means will allow. We
hope this duty has not been overlooked
thus far, this season, and that it will not

The President's Message.
This State paper will be found in our
paper, this week, entire. It is a plain
straight forward document, and should be
read by every man who feels an interest
in the country and its welfare. No one
reading it can arise from the pleasant
task with misgivings as to what the Pres
ident intends to do or not to do. His
language has none of the subtlety of di
plomacy about it, but on the coutrary is
clear, and within the comprehension of
every man. n e retrain irom noticing
all its good points, because we want eve
ry body to read it for himself, and thus
be satisfied as to what the President actu
ally says and means.
ESSIn criticising our notice ot the
large Buck shot by Mr. Moses Coolbaugh
of Middle Smithfield. which appeared in
the Jeffcrsonian, a couple of week? ago,
a correspondent of the Monroe Democrat
says, that Mr. Coolbaugh voted early in
the morning, and left the election grounds
immediately after he voted, and that he
did not make his appearance there again
that day. If this is so how comes it that
Mr. Coolbaugh 's name is the two hundred
and ninth on the list of persons who vo
ted, as kept by the clerks of the election.
The names on these lists are usually put
in regular order as their owners vote, and
we do not believe that the rule was de
parted from iu this instance, We can
come to no other conclusion than that
either the Clerks of the election board,
or the Democrats correspondent fib it
most abominably, and we don't much be
lieve it was the Clerks.

Deserter Shot.
Mr., Thomas Christman, of Jloss town
ship, in this county,.was shot and almost in
stantly killed, on Monday;night last Itap
pears that Thomasas a. deserter from the
army, and tha on the evening in question
several of the cavalrymen stationed at tin's
place, surrounded the house in which he was
residing, preparatory to arresting Jiim. After
placing One' of their number as a" guard at
the door, th rest of the men entered the
house and made inquiry for Christman, who
was secreted behind the door. While the
questions concerning him were being asked
and answered, Thomas, with axe in hand
sprang out, struck at the' guard, but fortu
nately missed him, and made for the moun
tain. The cavalryman immediately started
in pursuit, and repeatedly called on him to
stop, which he refused to do, Soveral shots
were then fired at him, ono of which took
effect in his head, and caused "his death al
most instantly.
While the cavalrymen were in search of
a deserter in Lehman township, Pike Co.,
on Thursday night last, Mr. Jacob Cprtright.
a drafted man who had not reported, as was
his duty, fearing that he was the man wan
ted, made a desperate effort to place a
a swamp, in the neighborhood, between him
self and the soldiers. He, too,, was repeat
edly ordered to stop, but paid no heed to the
orders, when he was fired on, and received
a severe flesh wound in one of his shoulders.
We are pleased to learn that his wound is
rapidly healing.
We have heard rumon of another affray
between the cavalrymen and a deserter in
Pike county, in which it is alleged that one
of the soldiers received a flesh wound in the
leg, and that the deserter was shot in the
hip, but we have as yet received no well au
thenticated account of the transaction.
These cases should be sufficient to con
vince all pf the extreme folly of attempting
to resist the military officers in the prompt
execution of their duty. It is right that de
serters should be arrested and returned to
the service, which they legitimately owe
their country. The preservation of the
Government acquires this, and those at the
head of affairs are determined that it must
be done. The laws of the land make resis
tance to or interference with the military au
thorities punishable with death. The de
sorters well know tin's, and if, knowing it,
they are still bent upon resistence, their
blood must be upon their own heads.

Exemption from the draft.
The last draft uroved a failure in not
producing the full number of men drawn
and called lor, there being u deficiency ol
say one-fourth in the aggregate. To com
pensate for this dehciency, recourse is to
be had to a liberal system of recruitment
particularly-of veterans exempt from the
draft, and another conscription. The
failure of the first draft was attributed to
the 3300 clause, aud consequently that
the lack of full ranks is to be attributed
to the wholesale desertion of bounty-jump
ers and others who "O assubstitutcs.
Consequently in the coming draft, the
provision ot substitution will be with
drawn, and personal service of the con
script required' as the only method of
filling up the ranks.
We have no one to blame for this rig
orus course of rccruitmcnt'but ourselves,
for men in many localities, instead of
equalizing the chances of the draft, by
aiding in the enrollment aud thereby
augmenting the number to be drawn,
have done every thing in their power to
encumber the enrolling officer, and to aid
in the desertion of those declared for
service.
There is another important duty which
falls upon every citizen, and that is the
correction of the rolls by the erasure ot
the names of such a3 are exempt by rea
son of a;j;e, disease or other cause. As
every name stricken, off reduces the pro
portion of the district quota, our mutual
burden is lessened, and assuredly it is
more convenient to tender the ground ex
emption in advance, than to await the
happening of a chance iu drawiug. As
far as our district is concerned, we trust
that our citizens will see the importance
of this forethought and act upon it at
once.

From bad to Worse.
When a man once taiust himself with
immorality, there is no limit to his deg
radation, and particularly is this remark
true with respect to the numerous scions
of the F. F V's., who have undergone a
preliminary training in the peculiar
school of larceny, which constitutes a dis
tinctive branch of Confederate warfare,
and which ennobles poultry theft, while
canonizing bank robbery and arson.
Some weeks back a Mexican mail coach
was robbed by a party of armed banditte.
Among the felons cajitured, was discove
red a Captain Vance of the rebel Colonel
Forde's staff, and son to the ijovernor of
North Carolina, who was at the time, as
discovered by documents on his person,
absent from his command "on special ser
vice." This service appears of a similar
character with that devolving upon the
Canadian refugees, who, we presume,
have equal license to rob a mail bug of
Her Majesty, as Vance assumes on the
Texan border, provided the patriotic de
predators escape irregular detection.
