All - Ipya! men must agree* that the plan

of the goreroment firmly aearest par, is the
proper phut to adopt. , If U;in«kethe sup.
prassion of ‘ bills of credit other than those

charges against him os a dangerous man, a
warrant, is, issued" fdrhis apprehension, he is
apprehended, taken before a magistrate, and,,
in default of bail, he is committed to. prison.
Of this proceeding no good citizen complains.
When a man threatens the life of his .neigh
,tor and goes about seeking him that-he may
Jdlhhim,.ooritmonity'feels outraged, and the
lawless person, is at once placed, in durance.
Of this no good citizen complains^
Bat when a man, or a clique of men; by
speech and' action manifest a hostile disposi
tion toward the embodiment and majesty of
the law, the government Itself, niider which
have the people any eocnrity fur person
.and. property ; and the government thus as
sailed arrests the disdrganizers and places
them in durance, a certain class of persons
and presses oome forward os. their sympathi
zers and advocates.
Now suppose a person entirely unenlighten
ed in respect to, the state' of parties in this
country wore to become a passive epectator of
opr affairs, at what conclusion would he arrive?
.Would he, not at oneo conclude that the per
sons and'presses so forward to denounce the
government for discharging the duty of self
defence. in ■ arresting ' these traitors, were not
less-disposed to destroy the government in
their, cowardly way than the principals them
selves? Doubtless be would so.conclude, and
vie most heartily endorse the conclusion.
■Let us consider this matter: Is it Co much
gr'eater a crime to aim at the destruction of
'one Ufo and the property of an individual than
at that of the life of the nation itself, and
through that at the rights and privileges of
twenty'mlllions of people ? Certainly not.—
The latter is a crime at least twenty million
degrees greater. Is it so much more an out
rage to be a lurking-murderer, or.house burner,
than it is to frequent midnight cabals whose
object is ho less than the assassination of the
liberties of a great-nation ? Certainly not.—
The latter, is a crime of the greatest enormity.
Then why do-.we .witness this strange incon
sistency in our'midst ? There mast be a reason
for it somewhere. There is a reason for it.
It is so patent that we do not compliment the
intelligence of our renders in repeating it here.
Yet it is best to give it. The truth is, that
these' apologizers for treason are the merest
remnant of what was once a party of progress
—the democratic party—and who, in its'best
daye,*wero the camp followers of that party,
subsisting on the leavings of official plunder
-on<t fraud. Look at them closely; you will
find them no more and no less than scavengers
of party, ranging from a dishonest boot-black
■np to a dishonest or ; President of the United
States. Some of them, we admit, have an air
of semi-respectability in their outward appear
ance; others have led the grand army of Know-
Nothings in that season of folly ran mad;
others, still, have attached themselves to the
all parties in the past, hoping to pick
np a few crumbs of plunder now and then, by
favor.' Now, oil have found theirf common
level. We hard James Buchanan and James
Brooks, Frank Uugbes and Frank Pierce, Fcr
nando Wood and Benjamin, Wm. B. Reed and
Buckalew, Hubert-E. Randall, Vallandigham.
'Yoorhees, Seymour, Toucey, Jefferson Davis,
Robert- Toombs, Roger A. Pryor, Judah P.
Benjamin, hlason, Slidell, George Sanders and
Capfe, Rynders, all in the same firmament, work-*
ing -harmoniously together, for precisely tho
same object —to rdle or- ruin. Such seem to be
the facts. The inferences are unmistakable.
- A Case stated.
We print, elsewhere, a letter written by Mr.
■Lincoln to Gen. M’Olellan so long ago as the
Otji of April, 1862. It will be Scen that the
despatches which called out this letter were
.sent from the army before Yorktown. It will
v be, remembered, also, that in his testimony
given before the McDoweU Court of Inquiry,
or the'Gourt martial of Fits John Porter, we
do not recollect which, Gen. McClellan stated
that the army left in defence of Washington,
■wben.be set out fur the'Peninsula, numbered
about 70,000 men. -
. This statement, it is needless to say,' perhaps,
does not at all agree with that made by Mr.
Lincoln in the letter referred to. Mr. Lincoln's
statement, be it remembered, was made in a
private letter. to Gen. MuClellan, nearly a year
the -question of more or less troops
left to defend Washington was raised. It may,
therefore, be considered disinterested. And as
Mr. Lincoln was personally responsible for the
defence of the Capitol, he may bo presumed to
have bean correctly informed in regard to the
nnmber of troops in that vicinity. '
We learn from this letter, too, that the cam
paign of the peninsula was' opposed by Mr.
Lincoln, and for reasons which he gives, and
which will strike every man of common- sense
as cogent and sufficient. And it will he obser*
ved in this connection,' that Gen. McClellan's
own retails, as they appear, in the War De
partment,. showed that bo bad 108,000 men
with and near him, while his despatches to.tfae
president allege that he bad hot 85,000 men,
with, and en route, to him, making a slight dif
fersnoe of 35,000 men, or a fair army of itself.
The President very pertinently inquires , what
became of the men. Were they slain
by swamp miasm, or*wero they creations of
that Bonapartean brain ?
This letter, which. does .great honor to the
mind, and moderation of the .President, was
produced in evidence in the McDowell Court of
Inquiry on the 16tb of January, current. It
finds its way to.the pubiie by no connivance of
the President, but in due coarse of military
procednre.' Bead and preserve it.

This war has 'developed much that Si new
-and •extraordinwy'in the-American character.
TfnwavCT. close an_ohs£tiar of human..nature a
man may hate been, let him mingle with the
scfMiery in and aronnd Washington and he
will discover that be has much to learn.
, The camps of, the active army and. the hos
pital a are rich in heroes and heroines. 01 the
latter let me state a einglo ease; -
When the- first Michigan troops came- to
Washington, there were attached to one regi
ment three young ladies, who came with it to
take Care of the sick. In* the process of time
two of them returned to their homes. The third,
to whom this statement relates, declared her
intention to remain until .the close of the war.
This lady, well-born, well-educated and ac
complished,' has proved herself capable of.
great things. If 6ns may rely upon universal
testimony, she is to Florence Nightingale what
the latter is to ordinary women. She can
count her battles with tbs oldest veteran of
the war—having been present, and under fire,
at every general battle in which the army of
the Potomac has been engaged, from the first
'battle of Bull Run down to, and including
Fredericksburg. When the fight commences
she fills her saddle-bags ■ with lint, bandages,
and proper stimulants, mounts hef horse end
proceeds to the field. There, with a shower of
.bullets falling aronnd her, she becomes a min.
istering angel to the wounded soldier, and
there remains until the fight is over. On one
occasion she was binding up the wounds of a
fallen brave when a shell alighted on 1 the spot
and literally rent the patient to shreds. She
escaped unharmed, and proceeded calmly to
another as if nothing had occurred out of the
ordinary course of events.
The name of this lady, recently married, is
Mrs, Anna Etheridge. She is ons of many
heroines mads known by ibis war, but in many
respects the.’ greatest of them all. Whether
she survives the war, or falls a victim to some
pitiless bullet, she has wan an immortal fame.
I believe ho local interest attaches to any
regiment stationed in this city save to the
149th Pennsylvania Tolunteers.. - This regi-,
ment has won golden opinions on all bands
for its good behavior and soldiery conduct. It
is on detached service, guarding hospitals and
doing, duty in the Provost Marshal’s corps.
Its Colonel, soon I hope to' be a Brigadier,
Roy Stone, late Major of the Buck-Tails, is a
brave and gallant'officer, who has proved , him
self worthy of sharing the fame of that gallant
body of men, whose reputation is dear to every
loyal man and woman in Tioga. Its Lieut.
Colonel, Walton Dwight, formerly of Conders
port, is one of the mjSst genial, frank,' whole
souled men I oyer met. Magnificent in phy
sique and ambitions of excellence in bis new
prefofloton,, X preset lliaii tlo will wU bta ]»a
rels whenever the regiment gets into field ser
vice. lam not personally acquainted with the
Major—Major Spear, hut hear most favorable,
accounts of biro. He labors under the disabil
ity of ill-health, and ought not to take the field.
On Sunday I walked np to Columbia Col
lege, where Capt. Sofield’s company is station
ed, and saw the Captain, Lieat. Bodiae, Ser
geant Roxford, and many more, attached to
that company in other capacities. They seem
ed pretty comfortable and in good spirits.—
Captain Bryden’e company is stationed at St.-
Aloysias Hospital, in. the city. I have not
seen, the Captain, since bis return, bnt hear
that he is pretty well. Lieut. C. L. Hbyt, of
company K, whom most 'Wellsboro folk will
remember favorably, is on Provost duty at the
Depot. He is the .hero of many adventures
in his vocation of detection, some ludicrous
enough, and some annoying. . He makes an
excellent officer and seems to thrive measura
bly;' Capt. Johnson, vyho commands the com
pany,"is a native of New York, but-lato of
Coudersport, He is a first-class man, genial,'
unassuming, and earnest. In fact, the 149cb
seems to be highly favored in respect-to the
quality of both officers and men. If it gets a
chance in the field I do not think It Will ever
disgrace its badge—the. Bucktaii. Up to this
time not one of its number has been cited to
appear before a general court martial—a fact
not 4-little to its credit. Whether it is owing
to this general good condhct that its worthy
Colonel was lately made a life-director of the
M. E. Missionary Society, or to. some other
cause, Ido not know.. I only know that the
Colonel was not less surprised than compli
mented by the act. - M. H. C.
1 Such ns were spectators, of the exciting
scenes of the first and second sessions of the
36th Congress, and of the withdrawal of the
Southern members from that body upon the se
cession of their respective States, have marked,
with inward satisfaction, the happy contrast
exhibited by the almost unbroken epaiefc an d
decorum which have attended upon and char
acterized.. the sessions of the 37 th Congress.—
life bod,'with thousands of others, hoped that
plantation deportment and plantation manners
might never again enter the hails of Congress
to disgrace its annals. We bad an instinctive
aversion to- the politeness .and suavity which
carried the pistol and bludgeon concealed be
neath its ample skirts. To us it appeared to
be a species of varnished rowdyism:
• It is only a few days, however, since Mr.
Senator Sauisbury, of Delaware, reproduced
the ancient bully upon the Senate floor. He
spoke, looked, and noted as a bar-room rowdy
speaks,- looks, and acts. Only Mr. Senator
Sauisbury was sober and deliberative instead
of maudlin. He certainly wore better clothes
and was less filthy in hie person than bar room
rowdies usually are. But in bis deportment
and speech ho was neither better nor worse
than, one nf that class.
-Mr. Saolsbary is, of course a' gentleman of
fine sensibly ties, because all Senators from tbs
plantation ■ are born,' and, bred np, gentlemen;
"Being a native of the mudtill region we “ can
not see it,f’ howeyer. Nor'do we hope to see
snob-geßtiememreiryplenty, either in the Sen-'
Ate, or elacwhere»_ We-can imagine no-misfor
tune so great as that of a high-born gentleman
with low-born proclivities."'
Following the lead of "Horatio Seymour, the
new" rebel democrat who occupies the Execu
tive Chair of the State of New Jersey, has de
livertdjbis treason-breathing" inaugural.; He
makes bo concealment of his adherence to the
doctrine of State Eights as believed and .prac
ticed by'Jefferson Davis', and his compeers.
Men wbp talk so boldly about State "Sovereign
ty ought'to comprehend something of its na
ture.' • How a State con be sovereign while .it
owes any allegiance whatever outside of its
organization is beyond the power of common
sense to explain. Plausibilities we da not
want.. We wont common sense, and truth.—
When the hands set np for themselves, and de
clare their independence of the body, then the
State of New Jersey may do likewise. If a
part may be greater than the .whole, then a
State is sovereign in some respects, but not in
all; therefore it is. not fnlly-j invested with
sovereignty.
The meaning of these rebel Governors, of
loyal States is this: The democratic party
must live though every right and liberty of
the people perish.' That is the meaning.
Special Notice to Jurors; &c. —We! have

important intelligencer -

the command of the Army of the Potomac has

This morning Maj. General Burpside ‘turned
over the;command of the Army of the Potomac
to Major General Joe. Hooker,who came to the
headquarters of the camp for the purpose. -
As soon as, the change became known
throughout the army a considerable number of
the superior officers called on Generali Burn

many regrets.

any considerable advancement of our line, but
it has again demonstrated an amount of cour
age, patience, and endurance that under more
favorable circumstances— : [Here the dispatch

Admiral Porter’s Mississippi flotilla has con
tinued its way up the White river and paptured
St. Charles, Arkansas county, and | Duval's
Bluff and Des Arc, both in Prairie county. At
Duval's BJuff there were captured two 8-inch
guns, two hundred rifles, and- three platform
cars, and at Des Arc thirty-nine prisoners and
; a quantity of arms and ammunition. ;
[ The proposed movement of the Army of the
j Potomac seems to have been entirely abandoned
; for the present on account, principally, of the
impassable condition of the roads. Gbn. Burn
side was in consultation with the President,
Secretary Stanton, and General Balleck at
Washintoo on, 1 Saturday. * j *

US. LINCOLN TO GEN.. MoOLELLAN,
AJT INTERESTING LETTER, •
Washington, April fitb, 1802.
To Major General Me Cldlan ; j
Mr Dear Sir: , Your despatches, {complain
ing that you are not properly sustained,- while
they do not offend me, pain me vejry much.
Blenckee’s division was withdrawn' from you
before you left here, and you knew the pressure
under which 1 did it, and,as'l thought, acqui
esced in it—certainly not without reluctance.
After you left I ascertained that less than 20,-
’ 000 unorganized men. without a single field bat
tery, were all you designed to he loft fur the de
fence of Washington and Manassas, Junction,
and a part of these even whs to go to Gen. Hook
er’s old position. Gen, Banks’ corps, once de
signed for Manassas Junction, was divided and
tied up on the line of Winchester qnd Strut
burg, and mM not leave it without, again ex
posing the'Dpper Potomac and the ; Baltimore
and Ohio road. This presented or would pre
sent, when Generals McDowell-or Sumner
should be gone, a great temptation to the ene
my to turn back Dorn the Rappahannock and.
sack Washington. My explicit directions that
Washington should; by the-judgroent of all the
commanders of the corps, be left entirely secure,
had been entirely neglected. It was precisely
this that drove file to detain McDcrtvtLL. Ido
not forget that 1 was satisfied with your ar
rangement to leave Banks at Manassas June
iion.ibnt when that arrangement was btoken
np, rindnothing was substituted for it, of course,
I was not satisfied Twas constrained to sub
slitute-sometbingfor-it myself. --
And now allow me to ask, do you really
think I should permit tbe line from Richmond
via Manassas Junction to this.city to be entire
ly open except what resistance' could "be pre
vented by less than2o,o6o.unorganized troops?
This is a question which the country will not
'allow.me to.evade.
There is a carious mystery about the number
of treops.now with yon. I telegraphed you on
the 6th, saying that you had aver 100,000 men
with yoti. ' I bad just obtained from the Sec
retary of War a statement,,taken, as he said,,
from, your own returns, making 108,000 then 1
with yob and en route to you. You now say
yon will have but 85.000 when all en route to
you shall have reached you. How can this
discrepancy of 35,000 be accounted for?
As to Genera! Wool’s command, I under
stand it is doing for yon precisely what a like
number of your own would have to do if that
command was away, I suppose the whole
force which has gone forward to you is with
you by this time, and, if so, I think it is the
precise time for you to strike a blow. By delay
the enemy will readily gain on you—that is,
he will gain faster by fortifications and rein
forcements than you can by reinforcements
alone; and once more, let me tell you if is in
dispensable to you that you strike a blow. I
am powerless to help this; you will, dp me the
justice to remember I always opposed going
down the bay in search of a field, instead of
fighting at or near Manassas, as only shifting
and not surmounting a difficulty; that we
would find the same enemy and the same or
equal entrenchments at either place. The coun
try will not fail to note—is noting now that the
present hesitation to move upon an entrenched
enemy is but the story of Manassas, repeated.
I-beg to assure you that I have never written
or spoken to you in greater kindness of feeling
than now, with a fuller purpose to sustain yon,
so far as in my most anxious judgment I con
sistently can. But must you act.
Yours, very truly, A. Lincolm.
Fall Brook Coal Company.
In the House, of Representatives, Mr.
Bowman of Tioga, read- in place a supple
ment to the act to incorporate the Fall Brook
Coal company, passed the 7th day of April,
1859. •
Mr, Smith : That bill should go to the
Committee on Railroads.
■ Mr. Bowman: I prefer that it should be
referred to the Committee on Corporations.
The Speaker: It is an act .of incorpor
ation and will be referred to the Committee
on Corporations, unless the House should
determine otherwise.
Mr. Smith-: I. more that the bill be
referred to the Committee on Railroads; and
I will state my reason for making that mo
tion, Cast year, this bill presented itself to
this House in just the same manner that it
does now, and after having gone -
The Speaker,: The Chair would sug
gest that it is hardly competent for the gen
tleman to assume that this bill is the same
as the one that was before the Legislature
at the last session. The gentleman from
Tioga, has read in place a bill, of the con
tents of which Mr. Smith can have no know
ledge.
Mr. Smith : I know from • the parties
from whom the bill comes that the purpose
is to put one railroad through to the detri
ment of another; and therefore the bill
should go to the Committee on Railroads.
Mr. Bowman: lam somewhat embar
rassed with reference to the rules of this
House, with which I am but little acquaint
ed. I understand, however, that, under
the rules, the bill which X have just intro
duced- should properly- be referred to the
Committee on Corporations. I know no
reason why it should go out of the ordinary
.course. The measure is one of somd impor
tance to my constituents; and unless good
reasons can be shown for a different refer
,^nce,.l;desire .tbatit shall be submitted to
the'Committee on Corporations.
