"A sentiment not to be appalled, corrupted or

no danger; it oppresses no weakness. Destructive
only of despotism, it is the sole conservator of lib

RIcCLELL AN.
THE RESTORATION OF . THE UNION--
WHO ARE FOR AND WHO AGAINST
1111
The Republican-Abolition journals
grow bolder in their treason every day.—
Their hostiltty to the Union as it was,
and to the restoration of the old order of
things, is no longer concealed. The flimsy
disguises of the past two years are thrown
off at last, and the hypocritical profes
sions of anxiety to preserve the territorial
and Constitutional integrity of the Repub
lic ara too transparent to longer deceive or
mislead even the ignorant or credulous.—
Greeley now regards "the Union" as not
•`especially beneficial to the North," and
Thurlow Weed, of the "Albany Evening
Journal," says that a few such wholesale
butcheries of our brave lads as that at
Frearicksburg "may at last become too dear
ant r;• the cause we love." And Thaddeus
f- - , - ens contemptuously declares himself,
or: the floor of the House, as having been
made "sick of the talk of restoring the
the Union as it was." There 143 profound
significance in these "givings out"—they
have a world of meaning in them, and
indicate the settled purpose of the leaders
of the Republican party to defeat any re
construction of the old Union, and to ac
complish, if they can, the hopeless and total
ruin of the country. However it may be
with others, we are not disappointed in
these men, or in their treasonable policy
and utterances. They have been traitors
from the beginning. Their love of coun
try, if they ever had any, has succumbed
to the love of the negro. The fanaticism
of Abolition has blinded them to the in-
terests of white men, and rendered
them indifferent, if not hostile, to the unity
of the country, which constitutes her real
glory as much as Ler liberal institutions and
her just, impartial and enlightened laws.
But, regardless of the plottings and dis
loyalty of these Abolition demagogues, the
Union must nd will be restored in all its

In the Senate the other day, the notor
ious Abolition Radical, Sumner, of Mas
sachusetts, presented the petition of T, P.
Saunders and P. H. B, Saunders, of Hart
ford, Connecticut, in which they set forth
that they are merchant tailors doing a
considerable business, but that they are
colored persons, and by virtue of the laws
and constitution of Connecticut they are
not taxed, nor have they the privilege of
voting ; but that now, by reason of the
law passed at the last session, known as
the internal revenue act, they are exposed
to a heavy tax, and they remonstrate
against it.
Sumner asked that the petition be re
ferred to the Committee on Finance, and
it was done, and we presume a bill will be
reported exempting Sambo and Gumbo ,
from taxation. Now, that the darkies
are to be fed and clothed at Government
expense, now would it do to include Held
seek Champaigne, fruit cake and Spanish
cigars in their rations?
WHAT THEY SAY OF IT.
Lovejoy pronounces "the Constitution a
piece of rotten parchment that ought to
be trodden under foot." That is the senti
ment of all the Abolition stutnpers, press
es and politicians, and in their opinion ev
ery man is a "traitor" who lifts his voice
in defence of eilher the Constitution or the
Union as it was. Such perjured scoun-,
drels as these fanatics would disgrace a
'ibbet.
ABOLITIONISM IN THE ARMY.
We have received a communication
signed by some 40 members of a Company
in one of the Pennsylvania Regiments sta
ting than. "there is not a known Abolition
ist to be found in their Regiment, and in
their opinion the same may be said of oth
er Regiments."
A great revolution of sentiment has oc
curred in the Army as well as at home.

HOW TO TELL THEM.
To bear a man denounce Democrats as
"traitors" and "secessionists" is as infalli
ble and iallarildde a that be is is fib

Stevens at the head to the "light-weight,"
nigger Lit newspaper scribblers at tbe tail,
long since declared themselves hostile to a
war for "the Union as it was," and for a
year past have been disregarding and de
spising all Constitutional restraints and
obligations, and multiplying measures to
render reconstruction,,on the old and only
basis, an utterly - vain and hopeless under
taking.
But even if the national cause should
triumph at last, it will be in spite of the
obstacles and embarrassments these
wretched fanatics have thrown in its way,
and only because Northern valor is irre
sistible.
The only traitors we have at the North
'are those who have given themselves over
to the stupid follies and "strong delusions"
or Abolitionism. They would sacrifice
Government and country, and the liberties
and interests of white men to carry out
their nigger : freeing programme. No expen
diture of treasure or blood would be too
great, in their view, for the fanatical end
they propose. Is it any wonder these sel f
styled "reformers," who propose to "re
store society by first destroying it," should
have become a stink in the public nostrils?
Or that the reward of their infamy and the
ruin they have wrought should be the hate
and execrations of posterity?
UNITED STATES SENATORS.
The Pennsylvania Legislature, on Tues
day last, elected Chas. R. Buckalew, of Co
lumbia county, United States Senator for
six years from the fourth of March next.
He takes the position now occupied by
Hon. David Wilmot. Ife is one of the
ablest men in the State, and will rank
with the very best men in the Senate.
The lion. W. A. Richardson of Illinois,
the friend of the late Senator Douglas,
has been elected to fill the seat of his
deceased friend. The vote stood : Rich
ardson, 66; Governor Yates, 37.
The Delaware Legislature has re-elected
Hon. James A. Bayard to the Senate.
The Legislature of Indiana has elected
Hon. T. A. Hendricks and David Turpie
United States Senators, the latter for the
short term.
lion. J. W. Wall has been elected U.S
Senator from New Jersey.
So the Democracy "have this week
elected five United States Senators to take
the places now filled by that number of
A London lats."
The skies are brightening.
GEN. BUTLER.
C rave, and if true, disgraceful charges are
brought against this Federal General, and
-y,
like another Nero, glutted with savage
self-complacency, smiling on the ruin
crumbling around us. Just think, for a
moment, of the fact of the brother of the
late commanding General, to use his own
words, 'ruining nineteen plantations,' and
taking off the crops with negrees enlisted
as soldiers, and set to work as laborers,
under a guard of U. S. soldiers to keep
them straight, and this brother, protected by
and under the wings of the heads of the
department, buying all the tobacco, whis
key, cotton, &c., in the country at half its
real value, under the threat that if not
given to him at his estimate, it would be
seized by the United States (?) confiscated,
and sold. Think of these people going
into the stores of quiet, inoffensive citizens
(mostly women) and turning them into
the street, anywhere, and taking in some
old, worn-out Boston or New York street
walking strumpet, and holding orgies over
the viands they find in the larder and cel
lars in the liatne of 'confiscation,' the
'United States' and `right.' Think of men
who do not scruple to take anything that
pleases their eyes, let it be a paper of pins
or a diamond necklace; a kitchen stove
or a batik vault; think of them and you
have in little what the report of Reverdy
Johnson, backed up and confirmed by
Coins. Farragut and Porter will reveal, if
it states half of the atrocities of the reign
of Butler in New Orleans during the
months that he has been in authority
here. He and his brother will leave here
(if they can get away with it) immensely
rich in spoils of other people's property.
All appearances indicate that Gen. Batiks
and the government are fully aware of the
state of things that have existed here, and
it is even said that the General asks ag-1
grieved parties to come before him and
state their wrongs. fie this as it may,
however, there never Was a community so
much delighted as this one was when

CORPORAL J. P. BURK.
This gallant soldier's father has handed
us the following letter for publication:—
CAMP NEAR BELL PLAINS, VA.,
January 4th, '63.
Mr. James Bark—Dear Sir: In compli
ance with your request, I take my pen in
hand for the purpose of giving you all the
information in my power relative to the
death of your son. As near as I can as
certain, our Regiment had been ordered in
on a charge which was successful. They
drove the rebels and maintained the ground
for the space of twenty minutes ; but fail
ing to get reinforcements, were compelled
to fall back. Here it was we lost so heavi
ly—stubbornly contesting the ground
against overwhelming numbers, inch by
inch, the ground we had just gained was
given back. Here it was John Perry fell
fighting with desperation as if loth to
give one foot of the ground they bad so
dearly purchased. Ile was carried back
to the hospital, and lingered until Monday
morning, the 15th. Ile was struck with a
Minnie ball in the breast, the ball passing
through and coming out under his shoul
der-blade. Whether he was sensible after
lie was shot np to the time he died, I am
not able to say. I never saw him after he
went into the fight.
For the loss of your son, you have the
heartfelt sympathy of Company:l. We
miss him. Besides being a sociable com
panion, he was a brave and true soldier.
Our company is growing small—few, very
few, of the original members are left.—
When I look at the company and think
of the manly forms of many that used to
swell her ranks, I often ask myself where
have they gone? I can hardly realize the
fact that they have "reached that bourne
from whence no traveller returns." But
such is the fate of war—they have gone.
Virginia's soil is crimsoned with the life
blood of some of Greene county's noblest
and most promising young men. They
fell martyrs iu their country's cause. Att
er again extending my hearfelt sympathy
to your family in this hour of sad bereave
ment, I remain, with respect, your obe
dient servant,
JOHN W. HAYS
THE ANDERSON TROOP
All honor to the brave and patriotic
three hundred of this troop, who, in spite
of the peculiar d iscouragements of their
position, determined to act a I atriotic, self
denying, and perilous part, and join in
the battle of Murfreesboro'. The names
of Drake, Rosengarten, and Ward among
the killed, and of Hewitt, Ramsey, Patter
son, Kimber and many others, among the
wounded, will be cherished with admira
tion and gratitude by their fellow-citizens.
The friends of the gallant dead and the
wounded survivors have our sincere sympa
thies.
THE DRAFTED MEN.
The 168th Regiment, P. Di., was at Suf
folk, Va., at last advices. The Company
from this county numbers 73 men. Capt.
Cree is very popular with his men, being
always with them and doing everything
in his power for their comfort. So says a
correspondent. The health of the Regi
ment is good.
HIS REASONS FOR IT,
Lincoln's reasons for signing the bill ad
mitting West Virginia in the Union are
said to have been as follows:
1. That it was the correct policy of the
Administration to secure as much free ter
ritory as possible, and with as little trou
ble.
2. That as the Wheeling Legislature
had been recognized by Congress as the
Legislature of the State of Virgiaia, that
body had the authority to adopt measures
looking to the division of the State; that
the responsibility did not lie with those
who voted for the measure, more than
with those who did not vote against it, viz:
the inhabitants of the eastern section of
the State.
3. And the principal reason, that he
was bound to take c.zre of his friends.
A KALGAMATION.
Harvey Kuntz, a Negro, and Mary
Guy, a white girl, were married at Wash
ington, Pa., a. few days ago. The cere
mony was performed by Rev. John Eagle
son, a clergyman of the Presbyterian
Church. So much for Abolition teach
ings—truly, the negro Millenium is being
ushered in.
sir WY. T. H. MINOR, eon of L. L.
MINOR, Esq., was one of a number of
paroled prisoners lately released by the
Rebel authorities and sent to Washing•
ton city.
,Every man ought to aim at emi
nence, not by pulling,.others down, but by
raieing himself, and enjoy the pleasures
of his awn superiority, whether imaginary
or real, without interr uptingothers in amp

THE MORALS OF WASHINGTON.
The notorious Parson Brownlow, in
letter to the Cincinnati Gazette, thus de
scribes what the National Capital has be
come under Abolition rule:
Washington, as a city, has no more
charms for me than in former days.
It is a fearful place ! The population
is said to be double what it was
when the war broke ont. Specula
tors and swindlers have multiplied
at a fearful rate, and all trades and
professions are living and flourishing
at the expense of the Government.—
And eve►y variety of institution is
being run here. There are five
theatres, three monkey shows, one
circus, "the negro minstrels," one
hundred houses of doubtful utility,
and an indefinite number of liquor
shops, to say nothing of about fifty
gambling hells, all in full blast, and
all doing a profitable business!—
Preaching, the practice of medicine,
and of the law, are obsolete ideas, it
not regarded as humbugs!
UNITED STATES SENATOR.
The Democratic members of the Legis
lature went into caucus on Monday night,
for the purpose of nominating a United
States Senator. On the first ballot,
Charles H. Buckalew, received 19 votes;
Hon. James Campbell, 16; Hon. F. H.
Hughes, 11; Hon. Henry D. Foster, 10;
Judge Black, 5; Ex Gov. Porter, 1. On
the second, Buckalew, 29; Campbell, 18;
Hughes, 12; Foster, 8; and balance scat
tering. On the sixth ballot, Buckalew,
40; Campbell, 19; Hughes 8; whereupon
Buckalew was declared the nominee.
LINCOLN'S MERCY.
The Washingtop Examiner, and papers
of kindred ilk illour district, stand to-day
as towering monuments of Lincoln's mer
cy.— Greene County Republican.
The author of the above (Lieutenant
Evans) having shown, by resigning his po
sition when there was a pretty fair pros
pect of severe fighting, that he does not eonsid.
er his body as deserving the aim and bullets of
the rebels, he cannot complain if we adopt
his own estimate of his worth, and refuse
to hold converse with him.— Washington
Examiner.
HON. CHARLES R. BUCKALEW.
Biographies] sketches of the new Uni
ted States Senator, Charles R. Buckalew,
have been plenty. I have one more to
add to the list, and preface it with the re
mark that it is probably the only correct
one yet published.
Buckalew, who is about forty-one years
of age, is a native of Columbia county,
and has been a Democrat since 1843,
when his first vote was given. lie has
been three times elected to the Senate of
Pennsylvania, and was Prosecuting At
torney of Columbia county under the Ad
ministration of Governor Shunk. He was
then chosen (in 1850) Commissioner to in
vestigate the affairs of the Bank of Sus
quehanna County, and in 1854 was ap
pointed Special Commissioner to ex change
the ratification of the treaty with Para
guay. lie was Senatorial Presidential
Elector for this State in 1856. In 1857
lie was Chairman of the Democratic State
Committee, and in 1858 was appointed
one of the Commissioners to revise the
penal code of the State. This appoint
ment, together with the office of Senator,
he resigned in the summer of that year,
and accepted an appointment under the
Geheral Government as Mi nister Resident
of the United States at Quito, in the Re
public of Eucuador, from which country he
returned in August, 1861.
He drafted most of the several amend
ments of the Constitution of the State,
which were adopted in 1857, relating to
th,e public indebtedness, municipal sub
scriptions, the division •)f counties, and
the division of the city of Philadelphia
into single Senatorial and Representative
districts.
Another amendment which he prepared,
reserving the power to the Legislature of
amendment or repeal over the charters of
corporations.
In the attainment of Lis present position
he was timely aided very materially by
the Representative from his district, Mr.
Jackson, of Sullivan county, who
urged the claims of h is candidate with per
tinacity, and, as it has turned out , with
success.
BLACK vs. WHITE LABOR.
[Extract from W. H. Seward'a Letter to
Mr. Adams, May 28, 1862.]
"Every African laborer who escapes
from his service is not only lost to the
support of the insurrection, nut he brings
an accession to the productive labor of the
loyal States, and to that extent increases
their ability to continue the contest in
which they are reluctantly engaged."
What do the white laborers of the North
think of that ? How do they like such
"accesions to the productive labor of the
loyal States ?" How do they , dike negro
competition with their labor ? Mr. Lin
coln in his Message advises those whites
in the north who find the competition too
strong, to emigrate to the South and take
the place of the negro slaves.—Cineinneni
Enquirer.
DROWNED WHILE SKATING.---On
Tuesday, a party, consisting of thir
ty-seven ladies and gentlemen, while
skating on a pond near Harpersville,
Mass., broke through the ice, and all
but ten of them were drowned.

NO one remedy is more needed in this country than
a reliable ALTERATIVE, but the sick have been so
tremendously cheated by the worthless preparations
of Sarsaparilla abroad that they are disgusted even with
the name. Yet the drug cannot he blamed for the im
positions from which they have suffered. Most of the
so-called Sarsaparillas in the market contain little of
the virtues of Sarsaparilla or anything else. Tney are
mere slops—inert and worthless, while a concentrated
extract of the active variety of Sarsaparilla compound
ed wrilt Dock, Stillingia,:lodine, etc., is, as it wilt ever
be, a powerful alterative and an effectual remedy. Such
is Ayer's Extract of Sarsaparilla, as its truly wonder
ful cures of the great variety of complaints which re
quire an alterative niedicino have abundantly shown.
Ito not, therefore, discard this invalti..ble medicine be
cause you have been imposed upon by something pre
tending to ba Sarsaparilla, while it was not. When
you have used At ea's—then, and not till then, wdl
you know the virtues of Sarsaparilla. For minute par
t coleys of till liseases it cures, we refer con to Ayer's
American Almanac, which the agents below named
will furnish gratis to all who call for it.
