our obligations for Paper, Labor, &c.,
which are very heavy.
Those who have already kindly remem
bered us have our hearty thanks.
Mistakes.
If, in making out our accounts against
subscribers, we have made any mistakes,
we syeil be happy to correct them so soon

middle or end of a volume.
ULTRA ABOLITIONISM IN 001 - -
GRI $B.
The telegraphic accounts from Wash
ington inform us that the fanatical anti
slavery members of both Houses of Con
gress are maturing a scheme of negro
emancipation, and will organize at once a
determined opposition to President Lin
coln and his Administration unless they
forthwith adopt the reckless measures dic
tated by their folly and fanaticism. The
President is understood to adhere, with
slight modifications, to the policy which
has hitherto obtained towards slavery in
the rebel States, and it is said will never
assent to extreme, dangerous and uncon
stitutional measures. We hope these out
givings of telegraphic reporters and news
paper correspondents may be authorita
tive, end that the President may prove
equal to the high responsibilities devolved
upon him by the emergency. The success
of our arms and the very existence of the
Government will, in our opinion, depend
mainly upon his firmness and courage in
this trying hour ; and while we would most
heartily rejoice to see him exhibiting the
Jacksonian grit and decision the crisis de
mands, we confess to many misgivings as
to his possession of these great and essen
tial qualities of successful statesman ship.
Portions of his late Message indicate an
indecision and spirit of compliance with the
wishes of his advisers and partizan
friends which is wholly foreign to personal
independence and distinguished adminis
trative ability. While it is manifest that
his views on the slave question are mod
erate and conservative of the rights of the
States, it is by no means certain that they
may not be radically modified, if not en
tirely surrendered. Resistance to pressure
and clamor is what the occasion demands,
and we doubt his having it. A little time
will show, however. If he stands by his
convictions, and refuses his assent to the
mad and dangerous measures the Aboli
tionists are urging, we will be indebted
largely for his course to the conservative
sentiment of the country. This is gather
ing and will gather about him, and will
prove a shield to the assaults of his foes
and to the Government of our fathers.—
Let him feel its influence as be should, and
give heed to its emphatic utterances, and
o:endangers that threaten us will soon die-
Appear.
We are glad to know that the Democratic
F,epresentatives in Congress stand where
they should on this question, and are as
suring the President of their disposition
to sustain him in refusing his concurrence
to measures at war with the rights of the
States and at variance with the plain let
ter of the Constitution.
ON A VISIT.
Our young friend, Wm. H. WELLS, eldest
son of Col. JOHN H. WELLS, is at present
on m brief visit to his friends in this place.
He entered the First Regiment of Mis
souri Volunteers, organized at St. Louis in
April last, was in the Battles of Boonville,
Dug springs and Springfield, as well as in
several skirmishes, and we are glad to
know eicipsisted himself with conspicuous
llantry. No Regiment in the Army has
en more arduous service than the Mis
souri First, and few have passed through
such perils and hardships. It bore the
brunt of the terrible engagement at Spring
geld, where 5,000 Fedentls were pitted
against 23,000 Confederates under Price
and McCullough, and saved us from a dia.
estrous defeat.
Mr. WELLs has obtained his disoliarge
from the Volunteer service and is about
to enter the regular army as Lieutenant
in Capt. Snrisoult's Artillery.

The disciples of Win. Loyd Garrison
and Fred. Douglass in this community and
throughout the North are growing more
rabid with every rising sun on the question
of emancipation, and are at present indus
triously engaged in denouncing Democrats
and conservative men of all parties as
`'Traitors" and "Secessionists" for lending
their aid and influence to their abomina
bly nefarious project of freeing and arm
ing some four millions of semi-barbarian
Congos. All the bar-room and street
corner eight-by-ten politician are ready to
"hang up the Constitution" as a useless
and inconvenient garment, and to "go
their death" (in every thing but soldering
and bleeding,) to accomplish their cher
ished object of negro manumission and
(we presume,) elevation or equality, for that
will be the next proposal and undertaking
of these restless and enterprising " re
formers." Epithets and invectives, high
sounding and furious, are showered with
reckless prodigality on the law-abiding
and constitution-loving men who stand in
the way of their darling project, and "hal
ters" and "prison cells" are significantly
intimated as awaiting the poor, devoted
devils who dare believe and teach that the
Federal Government is one of limited
powers, has no control over the institution
of slavery in the States, and would best re
cover its authority and perpetuate its ex
tence by confining itself to its clearly-de
fined and well-understood prerogatives and
duties. A "reign of terror" on a small
scale is sought to be inaugurated, and
"black eyes" and "bloody noses" are
likely to be the order and ornaments of the
day. What, under these truly trying cir
cumstances, is to be done ? Shall we go
over, "body and breeches," to these negro
loving folks, demolish the Constitution,
and take a turn at philanthropy Or shall
we stand by the Constitution framed by the
fathers of the Republic, and under the
blessed sway of which we had grown to be
the greatest, and freest, and happiest peo
ple on the face of the earth? This is the
question of the hour, and every man
should debate and decide it for himself.—
For ourselves, we shall abate not a jot or
.tittle of our earnest opposition to the poli
cy which would entangle us in new and
graver difficulties, and would inevitably
overspread the North with an army of ne
gro mendicants. Others may be intimi
dated by threats and bluster and bravado,
but we "don't belong to that meeting," and
are not to be thus bullied and brow-beat
out of our convictions ; and the amiable
and sapient gentlemen of the opposition
who have kindly undertaken the work of
changing onr course and converting us to
their Abolition dogmas are likely to have
a merry and excellent good time of it. Much
joy to these clever souls in asuch "labors
of love."
THANKS.
We are indebted to Dr. G. W. Moss and
other active Democrats for additions to

would soon double the number of our

are gratified to see our friends interesting
themselves in the work. Let us have a
"strong pull, and a pull all together," and
the desirable end can soon be accom

THE CURTIN CORRUPTIONS.
The Pittsburgh Dispatch, an ultra Re
publican print, thus "dishes up" a co-la
borer who attempts to whitewash the Cur
tin Administration :
"The Clarion Banner (Mr. Samuel
Young's paper) has undertaken a hercu
lean task, as it will find, in attempting to
defend Gov. Curtin and the parties charged
with the "clothing frauds" in this city.—
We understand the game, but beg to tell
the Banner that all its explanations and
apologies about getting up the work in a
hurry, turning off other work, and paying
"double what other houses did," and hay
ing "furnished altogether an excellent ar
ticle of clothing," &c., are simply great
lies, come from what quarter they may,
or whichever of the three interesting
clothing firms be referred to. The Banner
knows nothing of the facts; we know all
about them—much more than the public
yet knows ; and if anybody of sense and
honesty who has seen the clothing will
swear that he belie'ves Quartermaster Hale
could have faithfully inspected it, and paid
ten dollars per suit for it after doing so,
we will forgive the Governor's friendly
Committee for their report, in which they
exonerate him and his 'Cabinet:"
EMANOIPATION.
"The votes on Lovejoy's resolution are
regarded in. Washington as a triumph of
the admintstration. The military com

The Committee on Military Affairs will,
at an early day, report a bill which will
be in accordance with the views of the ad:
ministration in reference to the disposal of
fugitive slaves, and will command a ma

lerWe sincerely hope the above ad
vices from Washington may prove true,
and that Congress may give no encour
agement whatever to the scheme of negro
emancipation.

aEORMARY OAKUM MOM
The secret history" of the emasculation
of Secretary Cameron's report by Wed
dent Lincoln, is a curious one. A Wash
ington dispatch to the Tribune—the trans
mission of which by the wires was forbid
den—tells the whole story :
" The history of the difference be
tween the President and the Secre
tary of War has at last taken this
shape. The Secretary presented his
report to Mr. Lincoln on Saturday.
On Sunday afternoon he mailed it to
the principal papers of the North and
West, as is customary on the day pre
ceding the reading of the Message.—
On Sunday night the President, hav
ing found time to read it, found it
not in his heart to agree with the
Secretary's doctrine of the right and
duty to make a military use of the
slaves of rebels—to arm them, if
necessary—and in all ways to use
them as we would any other property
of the Rebels to suppress this rebel
lion. Re sent for Mr. Cameron, and
required him to suppress this whole
portion of his report, on the ground
that its recommendation was prema
ture and ill-timed. The Secretary
promptly and resolutely refused to
suppress a word of it. The discuss
ion between them was protracted.—
It ended as it began. The President
insisting upon the alteration, and the
the Secretary respectfully, but firm
ly, refusing to change a syllable of
his recommendations. A subsequent
interview in the afternoon had a sim
ilar conclusion of debate, but a new
and strange conclusion of Executive
will. The President announced his
purpose to strike out the entire pas
sage about the emancipation and
arming of the slaves, before sending
in the report with his Message to
Congress. Mr. Cameron declared he
should not recall or suppress the
documents in the hands of Northern
and Western editors, and that the
printers were at liberty to do with
his report what they pleased."
The President suppressed all Cameron
had embodied in his Report on the confis
cation and emancipation of slaves, and in
serted in lieu of it the following para
graph :
"It is already a grave question
what shall be done by the slaves who
are abandoned by the owners on the
advance of our troops into Southern
territory, as at Beaufort District, in
South Carolina. The number left
within our control at that point is
very considerable, and similar cases
will probably occur. What shall be
done with them ? Can we afford to
send them forward to their masters,
to be by them armed against us, or
used in introducing supplies to main
tain the rebellion ? Their labor may
be usefUl to us; withheld from the
enemy it lessens his military resour
ces, and withholding them has no ten
dency to induce the horrors of insur
rection even in the rebel cominuni
ties. They constitute a military re
source, and, being such, that they
should not be turned over to the ene
my is too plain to discuss. Why de
prive him of supplies by a blockade,
and voluntarily give men to produce
supplies? The disposition to be made
of the slaves of rebels after the close
of the war can be safely left to the
wisdom and patriotism of Congress.
The representatives of the people
will, unquestionably, secure to the
loyal slaveholders every right to
which they are entitled under the
Constitution of the country."
EMANCIPATION IS REVOLUTION.
So says a cotemporary, and so say we.—
The emancipationists do not pretend that
the General Government has the power
under the Constitution to abolish slavery
in the States, but contend that it may be
done as a war measure. Very well, sup
pose that the slaves are declared free by
the General Government, and in the pro
cess of time the Union and the Constitu
tion are both restored, how are the slaves
to be kept free in time of peace?—
What power could prevent each Southern
State from re-establishing slavery? Not
the General Government, for it is admitted
that it has no constitutional power to in
terfere with slavery in the States in times
of peace. When a man advocates the pol
icy of emancipation as a military necessity,
you may be sure that he does not mean
that the slaves shall be freed and after
wards enslaved ; but he means to advocate
a total and forcible change in our Consti
tution, which shall destroy all the rights
of the States, and make the Federal Gov
ernment supreme. The emancipationists
are as bad as the Secessionists, because
they are revolutionists.
WM. A. PORTER, ESQ.
This enterprising Merchant has just re
turned from the Eastern cities, after a
three weeks' absence, with a second sup
ply of Seasonable Goods. The first as
sortment he received this Fall, though
unusually large, was soon exhausted, and
rendered a second and heavier purchase
necessary. This Mr. Porter has effected
under very favorable circumstances, and
with his accustomed taste and discrimina
tion. The stock embraces the latest styles
of Dress Goods for the ladies, Clothing for
men and boys, Shoes, Hosiery and other
indispensables for children, and Groceries
and Notions for the million. Full shelves
and low prices render PORTER'S an excel
lent place to lay in supplies, and the peo
ple seem to know it, as they crowd his es
tablishment daily from all points of the
compass.
Berne Massachusetts Senator Sum
ner, we see, is sharply censuring, in the
Senate, Gen. HaDeck's Military Adminis
tration in Missouri, because "he severely
lets slavery alone," we suppose.
WHAT ABOLITIONISM WOULD BATE
--A TRUE PICITWAL
The Chicago Times truly remarks
that in the early days of the rebel
lion, Abolitionism was pale with fear.
It shrunk from sight and trembled
lest an aroused people should hold it
responsible, with its twin brother,
secession, for the mischief brought
upon the country. It justly feared
that a people aroused to preserve
their national existence might throt
tle treason at the North as well as at
the South. It, therefore, was quiet,
and professed to be loyal. It even
joined in the delusive "no party" cry,
and seduced thousands of good men
into the belief that it would urge no
partisan politics during the war, but
would support the Constitution and
aid to preserve it. But this was hy
pocritical and foreign to its real na
ture.
It therefore took advantage of the
leniency which was extended to its
past sins to gallop the nation into the
disaster at Bull Run, and now it is
moving heaven and earth to force
the people to believe that the Con
stitution, which alone makes the
United States a nation, is of no pos
sible consequence in the war, be
cause it conflicts with the emancipa
tion of the slaves. "Tax the farmer
and the manufacturer, the house
holder and the laborer—heap mil
lions per day upon the Government
expenses—entail thousands of mil
lions of debt upon the public treasu
ry, to be a burden upon the people
forever—make the South worthless,
even when it is conquered, for the
purpose of production, or of repaying
the cost of the war—shed Northern
blood like water—blot out the States
—pull down the Federal institutions,
and put up a despotism over white
men in their stead—do any or all of
these things, and we will submit to
them, if you will only free the ne
groes." This is what the Abolition
ists practically say to the world.—
They neither regard the sanctity of
the Constitution nor the future pros
perity of the country. They prefer
a desert inhabited by a half-starved
mongrel population, in which black
and white shall be on an equality, to
a restoration of the Union, with its
blessings of wealth and freedom to
the white race.
.THE " MILITARY NECESSITY."
The great "military necessity" of
the day is for the Government to
equip and arm all the white men,
North and South, anxious to fight on
the Union side. The Government, if it
would or could do this, might soon
swell its active military force in the
field to a MILLION of men.
But notwithstanding this, there
are crazy fanatics who are incessant
ly pressing upon the Government the
arming of the negro slaves, as a "mil
itary necessity." They want above
all things to see a "nigger fight," and
cannot bear to have the Union with
out one. This is what made them
bellow so loudly for the Union a
short time since, and feel so vindic
tive toward every body that was not
disposed to curse the whole South as
they did. But since the prospect of
making CUFFEE a Major, and SAMBO
a Brigadier-General has rather waned
of late, these "military necessity"
men have grown astonishingly cool
about the Union, and speak of our
victories with all the cool indifference
of disinterested spectators.
These gentlemen are not Abolition
ists—O no; not they ! They take
good care to tell the world that; and
"all the world and the rest of Man
kind" ought certainly to believe them,
when they declare they are not Abo
litionists, but that they only strenu
ously hold and insist that, as "a mili
tary necessity" of this war,-the Gov
ernment must emancipate all the
slaves of the South and arm the able
bodied to fight for the Union. This
nifty not
,be exactly the Abolitionism
of ten or twelve years ago : but it
looks wonderfully like the same old
thing "gone to seed."—Ohio States

THE CONGRESSIONAL CAUCUS.
There has been no little curiosity
excited among the Republicans and
Democrats in. Washington, to know
all about the caucus of Republican
Members of Congress, held on Satur
day night at the capitol. There is
unquestionably a wide difference of
opinion on the recommendations of
the President in regard to slavery.—
A portion of the Republicans are em
phatically opposed to the Message,
and are prepared to vote a censure
of the policy of the President. If
such an extreme measure is attempt
ed, says the Times' correspondent,
there will be an instant breach in the
Republican ranks, extending into the
country, which will be attended by
an immediate reorganizaiion of the
Democratic party throughout the
North.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
It is a somewhat singular coinci
dence that the Republican newspa
pers of this State, with few excep
tions, came out—some guardedly,
some openly—all about the same
time, in favor of the Government de
claring the emancipation of the
slaves as a military necessity. What
does this simultaneous movement
mean ? Were they instructed to feel
the public pulse on this question, and
ascertain whether the public mind is
rife for a revolution in the policy and
the form of our government? We
apprehend that the time is not very
far distant when these newspapers
will curse the day that they were be
guiled into making for themselves so
ugly a record.

1 VAUD ants DEEM TAX.
The direct tax assessed upon the value
of all the real estate in the United States,
to raise the annual sum of twenty millions
of dollars, says the Philadelphia Ledger,
has been overlooked by many persons, who
seem to be under the impreseson that there
is but one national tax (the income tax)
to be paid. By a law of Congress, approved
August 5, it was provided, in order to raise
the above mentioned annual sum, that
each State should be compelled to furnish
a certain proportion ofthat amount, which
is to be collected in the following manner :
Assessors appointed by the President and
, approved by the Senate, will, about the
first of March next, ascertain the value of
each piece of real estate, the valuation
being based upon the supposed money value
of such property on the first day of April.
Property exempt from taxation is that be
longing to the United States or any State,
or that is permanently or specially ex
empted from taxation by the laws of the
I State in which it is situated. A deduc
tion of five hundred dollars will be made
from this valuation. All persons assess
ing taxable property, or persons having
the care or management of property, will
be required to furnish written lists of it to
the assessor. A false or fraudulent list
will subject the offender to a fine of five
hundred dollars. After the estimates are
completed, public notice will be given by
the assessors where their books may be
seen, and corrections may be made. The
place at. which the payment of taxes will
be made, will be published in a newspaper
in each district twenty days before the tax
becomes due; and if persons neglect to at
tend, according to notification, the collec
tor willmake personal application to them
within sixty days after the receipt of the
collection lists. If then the taxes are not
paid within another twenty days, he has
power to collect by distraint. The appor
tionment for the State of New York is
$2,603,918, which will only be about one
fifth of one per cent, upon the present val
uation of property in the State. The in
come tax, which will be levied on and after
the first of January next, will be three per
cent. on incomes above eight hundred dol
lars, except that portion of such notes and
other United States securities, on which
the tax will be one and a half per cent.--
The tax is to be assessed on incomes dat
ing from January, 1861. In estimating
the income, all National, State and local
taxes, assessed upon property from which
the income is derived, will be firs] deduct
, ed. The payment of the tax will be due
on or before the thirtieth day of June next,
and all sums unpaid on that day will be
subjected to an interest at the rate of six
per cent, per annum, and in default of pay
ment being made within thirty days there
after, the collector is authorized to levy
the sum on the visible property of the
defaulter, and sell it, after due notice has
been given. If no visible property is
found, the person assessed may be exam
ined on oath, and any stock or bonds he
may possess be sold at public auction. A
refusal to testify is punishable by im
prisonment until the tax is paid.
Since graduating at the Iron City Col
lege, in 1857, I have traveled extensively
through the United States, and visited
nearly all the leading Commercial Schools
in the country, but nowhere have I found
that thoroughness and efficiency which
so pre-eminently characterizes the Iron
City College. Every young man in the
country should spend a term'or more in
this school, if he would make himself a
thorough business man.
A MOVEMENT ON TUE POTOMAC.-
Col. Forney telegraphs to yesterday's
Press that he has high official author
ity for saying that the rebel batter
ies on the Potomac are soon to be
wiped from the banks of the river.—
It is no credit, it is true, to our boast-
ed strength that they have been al
lowed so long to impede the naviga
tion of the river, but if, at the first
of January, we can only say the
blockade Las been completely remo
ved, our rejoicings will enable us to
forget the past. General. Sickles,
whose brigade is on the Maryland
side of the Lower Potomac, has been
in the city during the last two days,
and has received important instruc
tions from the Government in refer
ence to a general moyement upon the
enemy's batteries.
01V TO Ricawn.—Gen. Wool recently
held a council with his officers, and they
unanimously come to the conclusion that
a demonstration ought to be made upon
Richmond from that point. Gen. Wool
is, therefore, anxious that the Government
should give him the requisite number of
men and means for that purpose. The
subject is before the Government.
SHOOTING PICKETS.—On successive days
pickets of Gen. Blenker's division have
been shot, and some of them, three at
least, killed. A farmer namgd Cook was
strongly suspected to have abetted, or even
himself perpetrated these murders. Tvl i tce
or thrice he was caught and handed over
to the chief of Gen. McClellan's staff, and
twice or thrice has been set free and fur
nished with a pass.
