Our friends, and all who feel an

"MURDER WILL OUT."
We have all along said and believed
that the Administration and the leaders!
of the Republican party had begun this
war and were waging it with a view to!
striking down slavery rather than to re
storing the Union. Every day brings
fresh revelations of their purpose, and
continuations "strong as holy writ" ot
the fact that they will never consent to a
reconstruction ot tne Union on the old
and only just, right and practicable.basis.
A Washington city correspondent of the
New York Tribune, iu a late letter, makes
the following disclosures and declarations
concerning the intention of Lincoln and
his Cabinet toward slavery, which will
strike many of our readers as startling
and extraordinary who have not been of
our opinion in regard to the great object
ot.our Abolition rulers in prosecuting this
war. The author of the letter we quote
trout is doubtless well posted and states
nothing he does not know to be true. He
says :
"The hottest discussion the present Cab
inet ever indulged in, was on the wording
of the Emancipation Proclamation, and
on this occasion the President was the
conservative party. Mr. Seward urged on
this occasion that uo restrictions should
be made in the application of the Procla
illation, but that its application should be
UNIVERSAL. Secretary Chase and
Stanton urged the same wording, but the
President chose to restrict Norfolk and
numerous other districts, thereby confin
ing the Proclamation to DISTRICTS IN
OPEN REBELLION AGAINST THE
UN lON .
On the subject of slavery and its ulti
mate fate at the end of the war the Cabi
net is a unit, only differing as to the
means by which its annihilation shall be
brought about. Messrs. Chase, Stanton,
Welles and Usher are of the opinion that
slavery should cease in ALL SECTIONS,
WHETHER COVERED BY THE
PROCLAMATION OR NOT, AT THE
END OF THE WAR; while Messrs.
Blair, Seward and Bates claim that it
would be impolitic to make such a radical
change-,-that the interests of political
economy demand that emancipation
should be gradual. To this effect these
gentlemen tavor the idea that all colored
people remaining in slavery at the end of
the war shall be gradually freed by spe
cial enactments. No member for a mo
ment harbors the idea of reconstructing
the Union on the basis of slavery, and no
flag of truce has been or will be enter
pained from the disheartened rebel leaders
?shin)) Jpreshadows an idea IN CON
PLICT WITH THE EMANCIPATION
ROCLAMATION."
From the above it appears a majority of
„the Cabinet are in favor of wipbig out
slavery as well in LOYAL as nisLoy.
'AL states, as well in Kentucky as in
South Carolina. What do Conservative
Republicans say to that? If the pro
gramme put forth by the Tribune corres
pondent is adopted, the people of the
country may look for a "jolly good time"
before the war closes.

DOES THE ADMINTIATION WANT
- TO RESTORE TEE UNION 'A
The Washington Chronicle thinks the
opposition to the present Administration
an opposing the effort to save the country.
Now, says one of our ablest cotempora-;
ries, the Administration may desire to
save the country for aught we know. A
man may profess an anxious desire to ex..:
tinguish the flames of a building on fire
whilst he is throwing alcohol upon it,—
perhaps he might be honest in it, but
certainly a man may be excusable who
thinks otherwise. This rebellion has re
ceived a terrible blow in the fall of ' ,
Vicksburg and Port Hudson, and now
would seem to be the time to seize the!
opportunity that war has made to adjust
this matter. Appiication was made by
some citizens of Louisiana to hold elec.-
Lions under the Constitution of that State,
and return to the Union. The President
refitsed the application. They certainly'
have a right to do what they propose
without his leave: but we have the spec
tacle of a President professing to make
to war restore the Union and refusing a'
;State the right to come back at her own
option, or to resume her place in the
Union.
It is rather too much, with such a fact
as this before us, to ask us to believe that
some other object than the restoration of
the Union is not in view.
The armies have done their part in
spite of a blundering policy and most
wretched mismanagement; but if the
Administration will not do what any wise
statesman would advise, what will we
gain by victories, except a chance to fight
again? It seems to us that the party in
power has shut the door upon the South
and locked it, by confiscation bills and
proclamations. They intend to treat the
South as subjugated provinces, not as
States of the Union. With such a policy,
there is a job before us the magnitude
and duration of which is not appreciated
at all.
We must be excused for not believing
that it is the object of a party that acts
thus to restore the Union. Even if we
give them credit for being sincere in their
professions, we must be excused from sup
porting the follies and mistakes that de
feat the object in view, instead of accom
ylishing it.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?--FAOTB FOR
THE PEOPLE.
The Abolitionists it. Congress voted
down or refused to accept,
The Crittenden Compromise ;
The Border State Compromise ;
Mr. Douglas' Compromise ;
Bigler's proposition to submit the Crit
tenden Compromise to a vote of the peo
ple, and
Adam's Compromise.
Let no man forget these facts
Had Republican Senators supported the
Crittenden Compromise, it would have
been adopted, and the war averted. The
following, from a speech delivered by
Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, in the Senate,
on January 3d, 1861, shows where the re
sponsibility of this terrible and unnatural
war belongs : •
"1 believe this (his plan) to be a fair
basis of amicable adjustment. If you of:
the Republican side are not willing to ac
cept this, nor the proposition of the Sena
tor from Kentucky, (Mr. Crittenden) pray
tell us what you are willing to do? 1 ad
dress the inquiry to the Republicans
alone, for the reason that, in the Commit
, tee of thirteen, a few days ago, every
tqember from the South, including those
j from the cotton States, (Messrs. Davis and
Toombs,) expressed their readiness to ac
cept the proposition of wy venerable
friend from Kentucky, Mr. Crittenden, as
a final settlement of the controversy, ifi
tendered and sustained by the Republican
members. Hence the sole responsibility of .
our disagreement, and the only difficulty in the
way of an amicable adjustment, is with the
Republican party."
HARD TO DO.
We agree with an editorial brother that
it is hard work to divide this Union even
temporarily. It requires all the ingenuity
of the powers at Washington and at Rich
mond to keep the two sections apart.—
Folly and wickedness must have their
course ; but when reason comes back, a
Union will take place The irrepressible
conflict is a lie refuted by experience as
well as logic. If man is capable of self
government, then this Union is capable
of restoration. This epidemic of folly
and crime may have its day ; it can't last
always. Interest and reason will resume
their sway in time. There is many a dark
hour in the history of nations, and this
day is ours; but it is a long night that
has no morning. Elope is still left, and
a reasonable hope, if man is fit for self
mernment at all.

TO DRAFTED 'NEN
The Provost 'Marshal of this District,
Capt. Cuthbertson, requests the Drafted
Men from this county not to report to him
before the day mentioned in the notifica
tions they have received. They will please
remember this, and save themselves delay
and trouble.
SKULL OF A MURDERED NEGRO.
We have ou our table what is supposed
to be the skull of a colored man by the
name of ARTHUR BROWN, an important
witness for the prosecution in the case of
the Commonwealth against certain negroes
who were arraigned at our Bar at Decent
bet '.erin, 1859, for the murder of Wm.
SEELY ZIMMERMAN. TWO were aceitted
and five were convicted. of Manslaughter,
as our readers will remember. BROWN
had been threatened with violence, and
mysteriously disappeared about the time
of the trial, and has never been heard of
since. The skull before us was found in
the sand in the creek near a couple of ne
gro
shanties on the farm of Jesse Hook,
Esq., and in the immediate vicinity of the
scene of Zimmerinan's murder. There is
a bullet hole through the lett side of the
skull and directly back of the temple.—
The presumption is that Brown was killed
in order to prevent his testifying against
the negroes concerned in Zimmerman's
"taking off," and the body was subse•
quently sunk in the creek, which is very
deep at that point, to avoid discovery of
the deed and perhaps detection and con
viction of the murderers.
NEGRO EQUALITY
The somewhat notorious Morrow B.
Lowry, a Black Republican State Senator
from Erie county, at a League meeting in
Philadelphia a few days ago, came out
with his creed as follows :
"This war is for the African and his race.
The six hundred colored men who have re
cently fallen have Elevated the race. For
all I know, the Napoleon of this war may
be done up in a black package. (Laugh
ter.) We have no evidence of his being
up in a white one, as yet. When this
war was no bigger than my hand, I said
that if any negrJ would bring me his disloy
al master's head, I would give him one hund
red and sixty acres of his disloyal master's
plantation. (Laughter and applause.)—
The man who talks of elevating the negro
would not have to eleva to him very much
to make him equal to himself."
PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
We are pained to learn that Miss Lou
,
GOLDEN, of Blacksville, Va., formerly
of this place, while running up stairs,
; one evening last week, struck her eye
against the latch of a door which was
I partially opened at the heed of the stairs.
The latch penetrated the eye, tearing the
i ball completely out. She suffered severely,
and fears were entertained, for a lime,
that she would lose the sight of the other
eye, but at last accounts she was recover
: ing.
ROBT. INMAN, ESQ.
We regret to learn that our old friend
and townsman, Rouser INGHRAM, Esq.,
Sheriff of Hancock county, Illinois,
was shot in the hip and seriously injured
while attempting to arrest a returned vol
unteer, who had committed an assault
on an old man. His Deputy was also shot
through the breast, and instantly killed
by the desperado at the same time• The
scoundrel was followed by a number of
citizens who put three balls through him
in trying to capture him, killing him in
stantly.
FOR THE PUBLIO GOOD.
Our enterprising merchant friend and
neighbor, W.s. A. PORTER, never had a
more desirable or attractive stock of
Goods than he has now on his shelves.—
They have been bought recently and at the
reduced prices ; and as he is determined
to close out the assortment before the
Fall trade begins, now is the time for bar
gains. Ladies in need of Dress Goods are
particularly invited to call, as he has au
unusually large, varied, rich and cheap
assortment. Gentlemen, too, whose ward
robes need replenishing, will find a full
and admirably snlected stock of Clothing
adapted to their taetes, necessities and
means. Remember the New Store next
to the Bank.

THE DRAFTED MEN.
Capt. Caze and his men were discharged
a few days since, after nine month's faith

in this county. Only two or three deaths
occurred among them, we believe, during
their absence.

such fidelity and ability as to merit

'Dear Sir :
I am a little inclined to the belief that the
"dear people" have rebuked sectionalism in a
very marked manner, and vindicated the only

was very hard when I was at home to stand

but it is almost beyond endurance since 1 have
sacrificed at least one half of my worldly goods,
left a home blessed with peace and contentment
with a fair nr. spect of never seeing it again, to
fight the battles of liberty,and suffer the toils and

political demagogues, aided and abetted by
just such men as him I want it particularly
understood that in the campaign of 1860 I was a

the same issue now you would find me there

isolated case, but I tell you it is not so. There
is a greater proportion of whir. is called the
Breckenridge party of the North in the field ac

other party in the North. The majority of the
Democrats in our company were Breckenridge

shoulder their knapsacks and march to the

ject, and one has the palpitation of the heart,
another has a chronic disease of some kind or

poor fellow, name not mentioned, has the big

EDITING A PAPER.
Editing a paper now is a very pleasant
business. If it contains to touch political
matter, people won't have it.
If it contains too little, they won't have
it.
If the type is large, it don't contain
enough reading matter.
If the type is small they can't read it.
If we publish telegraph reports folks
say they are nothing but lies.
If we omit them, they say we have no
enterprise or suppress them for political
effect.
If we have hi a few jokes, folks say we
are nothing but a rattle head.
If we omit jokes, they say we ale an
old fossil.
If we publish original matter they
damn us for not giving selections.
If we publish selections folks_ say we
are lazy for not writing more and giving
them what they have not read in some
other paper.
If we give a man complimentary notices
we are censured for being partial.
1! we do not, all hands say we are a
greedy hog.
If we insert an article which pleases
the ladies, men become jealous.
if we do not cater to their wishes, the
paper is not fit to have in their houses.
If we attend church, they say it is only
for effect.
11 we do not, they denounce us as de
ceitful and desperately wicked.
If we speak well of any act of the Pres
ident, folks say we dare not do other-
wise.
If we censure, they call us traitors.
If we remain in the office and attend to
our business, folks say we are too proud
to mingle with our fellows.
If we go out they say we never attend
to business.
If .ce wear poor clothes they say
nese is poor.
'lf we wear good ones then we are a
spendthrift.
Now what is a poor fellow to do ? in
