He takes an observation. The fields of the old homestead are rocky, the soil meager, the product of labor small. He has read glowing descriptions of the prairies of the great west, of the rich timber lands of Pennsylvania and the northwest. He looks around him and is impressed with the idea that the good old State of his nativity is crowded; that there is a lack of room for the work his young energies feel compelled to do. So be casts about for a wifif, gathers together a few farming oteoailsvand household goods, and turns his face to the West. He penetrates the wilderness farther than any that have preceded him because he loves nntrameled freedom. He fells trees and con verts them into a-log house. He then hews his conquering way in all directions aronnd bis home and plants the grimy fallow land with wheat and corn. When the crop is in, he sits in bis cabin, with his young wife by bis side, and recounts .to her this battle with the forest and, the triumph of intelligence and energy over the inertia of the savagery of nature. The grain springs op, and the grimy fallow becomes golden and waving with the slender spires. He exults in the consciousness of hav ing done a great work and is happy. Bat he is alone. Miles intervene between him and civilised man. Soon, neighbors cluster around him and moke great -itt- tl,u roresr. no (Vole hi* strength increase as the forest disap pears. lie is on friendly terms with his bro ther pioneers, and all goes on harmoniously and well. Bat trials come anon. The lurking savage descends upon 4be little settlement and leaves it a smoking rain. The women and children are slain or carried into captivity, and the>grain is destroyed in its bloom. The men are scat tered, or slain, and tbo survivors meet over the ruins to plan schemes of vengeance. The feud between the white and the red man is fairly initiated, and the doom of extermination it pro nounced upon the latter. Human energy can not rest. These bereaved and maddened men seize the ax in one hand and the rifle in the other, and go out to reclaim their homes from desolation. They reclaim them, their hands being ever against savagery in man or nature. They are made stronger by the figmi We look upon the stalwart pioneer and admire bis de termination scarcely less than his magnificent physique. So, onward, against untamed man and na ture, impoverished by knife and brand many .times in a brief lifetime, but never despairing therefor; buffeted by sickness and untoward, seasons,—onward he presses, conquers finally and—dies, —leaving to bis children a homo of peace and beauty, purchased by a lifetime of trial and stupendous sacrifices. Grand, inconceivably grand, is the example of the pioneer. We who enjoy the fruits of bis doing and determination ought never to pass bis homblo grave with covered beads. But the philosophy and result of this man’s life and labors, bis trials and sacrifices, epito mize the birth and wrestling of nations into existence and perpetuity. Think of this, ye > who go about grumbling about taxes, and high prices, and the distresses of this war, and honor the Almighty by closing your lips against such utterances, which would be impious were they not childish. Alt that we have written about that New England man-child has been written about every, nation which has secured to itself a permanent place under the sun. Men call -it history. The next generation wilt read the history being mode by ns {to-day. They will look to the record of every man and mark where he stgod and how he bore himself in the great pioneer struggle of the nation for exist ence. Let no man flatter himself that the next generation wilt accept bis caviling and carping for an apolpgy. There can be no apology for .a doubtful stand when the life of a nation is at stake. Young men, you who have your record to make; make it such that you will not seek to destroy it when honorable peace, which mutt rcome, ensues. Subtle definitions will not find a market in the time to come. The future will hold every man and woman to a strict aooouot for bis action .in this hour; and such -as wait qntU tits' dawn-light of success illumes the east, wilt be knoint as eleventh-hour patriot—men who carped and caviled, and playedthp dema gogue in the. midnight of trouble, when the true and brave, in field and in council, were M.

And aa certainly aatbe red man and the forest-weede before the iidirldnar pioneer, «o ceHilhly wßltEe nation eabdae this rebellion against Rlght/and con sign the brood of lies and treason mongers to oblivion. Os* thing is’certoln: either the doctrine of State rights, as promulgated by northern-rebels, must be abandoned, or the present form of goverpment most be abolished. iK every State may set np its standard of right, locally con sidered, in opposition to the requisitions of the general goverment, then the Union is a rope of eand. If the Constitution does not confer power upon its. executive officers to preserve the government from annihilation, then it'is. not worth the paper it is engrossed on, bnt mast rank with the theoretical vagaries of. Uto pian dreamers. Bat such is not our under standing of that instrument. Wa bold that it -confer* ample power upon its agents'for the preservation of the government. Tbs govern ment is paramount. In great emergencies the exercise of doubtful powers is , necessary, apd expected.. The Constitution itself ,was not an unanimous expression of public sentiment, but won its way np to that victory against the jeers nnd'seoffs of anarchists,'as the policy of the Executive is doing to-day. It was scoffed at as an experiment, denounced as an usurpation of dangerous powers, involving the extinction of individual and State rights. Bat the experiment succeeded. The exer cise of doubtful powers was triumphantly vin dicated by the result. That was the first great emergency ; we are in the bonds of tbe second’. But cavilers overlook the fact that extraordi nary times have extraordinary needs. They handle the questions of tbe day as if the conn try was in the cradling arms of profound peace; and were it sdt for tbe general intelligence and keen perceptions of the northern masses, they would work incalculable mischief. As it is, the rebel democracy have prolonged the war many months, involving the sacrifice of tens of thousands of lives and millions of treasure. They carp, and cavil, when they should be ex pending their energies to restore the rnle'.'of law and order over one-half of the republic.— Their game is to make capital enough oat of the distress of tbe nation to elect a-‘‘peace democrat” for President in 18M. The Copperhead paper* in Clinton and Cen ter counties are heaping vile abuse nbbn lion. Jaheb T. Hale, and clamoring for his resigna tion. His offence is a conscientious and faith ful discharge of bis duty—a sin of such mag nitude in copperhead eyes os not to deserve the grace of toleration, ranch less of pardon. We have examined the record of. Mr. Hale in Con gress, and are unable to discover a single vote nf hU that mii U •)>—\rltb hostility to tbs government. And tre have so ranch confidence in tbe integrity and uprightness of the man, that something more than the insane-ravings of treason-mongers trill be necessary to shake that confidence. There roust be unity in essentials, toleration in matters of opinion, and charity respecting all actions not classed as criminal by the uni versal assent of enlightened men. We differ with Mr. Hale in same matters of opinion phut in principles we bare to discover any ground for quarrel. He is derated to the best interests of the country os they are recognised by the mass of loyal men. He has never failed in an unhesitating support of the Executive in the prosecution of this war to an honorable peace. Knowing this we do not inquire further. It has been our practice to estimate public men by their acts, not by public outcry, not by some isolated act of their lives. XU that History will require of Mr. Hale, is an undeviptiog adherence to the principles he has never yet betrayed, and such adherence csrries unbendi tional loyalty to the government with it. Only men of doubtful loyalty will revile him for it. Though bis course lost full seems to ns to have been unwise and censurable, we shall not hesi tate to recognize and commend bis fidelity to the government and bis worth as a man; Oua neighbor of the Patter Journal, irf com menting upon our article ashing the removal of tho present State Superintendent of Common Schools and the appointment of Prof. Coburn, joins in the request for removal, and urges the reappointment of Mr. Hiclcok. We had sup posed that Mr. Hickok would refuse, the place if tendered him; bat if the contrary be the fact we have too great a personal regard for Mr. Hickok to oppose the selection in 9 way. He made on excellent officer and would bring to the work a rich capital of experience.: The Journal says: a Republican is to be selected no one' better fitted for the position can be found than the man who engineered the Common School system of this State through its darkest period, and who when he bad just began to see tome of the good results of his labor was removed for opinion's sake. We have known Mr. Hickok since 1853 and have always fonnd him earnest and active in whatever be undertook. We hope Gov. Curtin will consider the claims of oar first Superintendent, and re-appoint him." Ths New York World, Is now abating tbe Administration because it does not enforce a draft in Connecticut election in tbat State. Does the World, or do its employers wish tbe new law calling out the national for ces enfotcdfi at all T It declares the law uncon stitutional and impossible to be enforced in one column, and counsels resistance to its attempted enforcement, in anoihet. column. Now' wbst does it mean 7 . It means just this; and its meaning it a fair intorpretation-of the intention of t£e copper head. faotjdn wherever itexists. , It sievin'to create a cLvilvrar in the North, and-foribepur* pdse of delaying the prosecution'of the war ontil the people shall be worn out with hoping in yam. . Rut when ft succeeds, if it shall sue-' ceed. whicit is not probable, the Worl<k and its kindred will nevermore speculate in villainy. Remember the fate of Robespierre, of Marat, and pf their co-conspirators against the’jiSttce of society. Their fata, will ha,reproduced in the iate of these unprincipled rebels,' if in the varying fortunes of war,' a hand is raised against the Government in the North.

It is believed that the evacuation of Vicksburg is made necessary by the presence of out fleet and jamy in the rear. Admiral Farrogut has taken his fleet by tbe rebel batteries. ■ . No attack .had been made on. Charleston at latest dales. Tbe rebel papers conclude that the demonstration will not be Made before the first flays of this month when the! tides are fa vorable. A skirmish between the rebel forces and dor troops took place near Naahville.Tennessee, on the. 25th ;nlt. The,,rebels captured a supply train which was retaken and destroyed by onr trodps. • There is every prospect of an active campaign in the West this spring. The rebels made an attack on Williamsburg, Va,, on tbe 29th ult,, bnt were repulsed and driven away. Advices from rebel sources state that there is much coffering from" lack of supplies through out rebeldom. ■ , The Army of the Potomac'is receiving an 1 ihetease by the return of deserters at the rate of two regiments n week. Gen. Saxton officially informs the President that the raid of the negro brigade into Florida has stricken the entire coast with panic. The expedition is said to have proved an entire suc cess. The negroes have shown: the most on flinching bravery in every engagement. SoomEEN politicians always had one virtue. They never failed to properly appreciate a reg ular northern dirt eater. The Richmond En quirer speaking in reference to the Copperhead demonstrations in the' North makes use of the following vigoronslanguage: If they repudiate the debt they have con tracted, ana abandon the government they have established, and recant vows, and break pledges, and sat dirt, it is well; we shall be charmed; the movement will suit us perfectly; and al though we shall not respect the actors in that affair, yet we shall not be unwilling to trade with them—bolding our noses a little—nor to show them all suitable civilities—bat at a proper distance." This may not be very complimentary to the “ peace-mongers," but it is frank and opea as the day. lliiE what one C. C. Bnrr, one of the dough tiwus vuaiiipiuoa of speech at a club meeting in Philadelphia, says; " If the Government stands in the way of banks or slavery, then down with the Govern- [Great applause.] Banks and slavery are superior to the Government. The States arc above the Federal Government." That's one kind of democratic doctrine, and Daniel S, Dickinson preaches the other kind. Whom will ye serve f We publish some voices from the army this week which will prove monitory to .northern rebels. The resolutions from the 149th volun teers ring like steel. The Lake Providence Cui-Orr.—The Lake Providence Cut-Off is the one which now seems to be most relied on ks a permanent route by which to avoid Vicksburg, leaving it out in the cold. The 17th Army Corps, Moj. Gen. McPherson —a talented officer of the En gineer corps in the regular army—is now at work upon the enterprise. The lake is west of the Mississippi, 430 miles shove New Orleans, in Louisiana, aud 60 above Vicksburg. At no remote period it was the bed of the Mississippi river. At its lowercxtremity the water in the lake reaches to within lees than half a mile of the river. The old bed of the river is still a deep hollow between tba two, through which : the river is prevented from flowing at high wa- j ter by two immense levees across its month on | the river bank. The surface of the lake is fif- 1 teen feet below the present surface of the river, j so tbat by only catting the levee, boats of near ly any capacity could run into the lake. The lake is connected with a chain of bayous south ward until the exploration comes oat on the Tensas river. These bayous are being connec ted with abort canals; and when once Bayou Suites and Bayou Macon are thus joined, and the Mississippi turned into Lake Providence, away vessels will go rolling toward the Gulf, down the Tensas, a deep, not wide river, and' even now,navigable f0r.,150 miles by large steamboats. At Trinity ft nnites with the Wi chita, to form the Black river, which Sows into the Red rivet' 20 miles from its mouth. -The Washita river is navigable fat largo boats fur 300 miles from its moulb. Tbe Bed river is the southernmost of tbe great western tribute- ' ties of the Mississippi, and with its tributaries bis an. entire length of 2100 miles. It is nav igable by steamers- to Shreveport,.soo miles from Jts month,-and traverses ‘a region of pre eminent fertility/ says Lippencott. Tbat is tbe Red river to which tbe Lake Providence cut off will open. —Jlochater Union., The Tebbitoev or Idaho. —Congress at its last session passed a bill to create a new Terri tory oat of eastern Oregon and western Dako ta, under tbs name of Idaho.

WHEB*AS,'fteM is beingnooriahedand en couraged among, a certain due of politicians in the North, a sentiment of opposition to the. administration; ; : And inhere as, this sentiment and each a course as those who adhere to it, are pursuing, is, at this critical juncture, nothing less than treachery to the government, and intended en couragement to covert traitors in the North, and the armed traitors in our front; therefore, Resolved, That _we hold a cardial support and quick obedience to the administration to 1 be the first doty of oil, and the only doorway out of these troublous times. Therefore, we ; earnestly entreat all citizens, and all soldiers , to support heartily, and obey with alacrity all laws and orders, coming from those charged 1 with the administration of our government. Resolved, .That we recognize the fearful straggle oar country is now engaged in, as a ; struggle of- freedom against slavery; right , against wrong; of God against Satan; and wo hold those who are against the administration 1 as against the. government, against right, ' against tbs constitution and the glorious liber ties of which it is the guarantee, and we brand ' them as 'traitors while we assure them of onr unmitigated hatred and contempt. Resolved, That the Emancipation proclama tion and the Conscription act—those measures most odious to insidious peace men, copper heads, and traitors under other titles—meet with our hearty approval as measures dictated by .the best administrative wisdom and firm ness for the honest purpose, and in the earnest effort to suppress rebellion and save to posteri our noble republican g&ernment. Resolved, That the lying reports spread : broad-cast throughout the land, that the army | of which we have, the honor to form a part, is > demoralized and clamoring for peace, are hot the base utterances to traitorous tongues, and do our gallant comrades jn the field the gross est injastice. Resolved, That we are ready and' willing to put forth every effort, endure every species of hardship and fatigue—do anything and every thing required to suppress the accursed war now being [waged against us; that we have the fullest confidence in the present Adminis tration and-Generals over us, and particularly of the bead of tho. army with which we are immediately connected. ' Resolved, That we will never give ap the noble, cause in which we are now engaged un til under the good guidance of kind Providence treason and rebellion shall be banished from the union of States, where the old flag, doobly dear from its double baptism in the best blood of our land, shall again proudly wave over all. ’ The above resolutions were offered to the 149th Pa. Buoktails, by Col. Walton Dwight commanding, at dress parade, -March 18tb, in stant, and were unanimously adopted by the regiment. Speeches, appropriate and becoming the times, were made by Col. Dwight, Captains John C. Johnson,. Brice X. Blair, E. S. Os borne, and others; the greatest enthusiasm prevailing. f The regiment numberingj9s,*rank and file, is eager for the decisive blow for the nation’s honor and freemen’s vindication, at any peril of life or fortune. D. Allen, Serg’t Major, 149th Pa. Vole. At a meeting or the 12t!j Wisconsin regi ment, at Camp Butler, Tennessee, some spirited resolutions were adopted “with ,a hearty good will.” "We quote a few pithy sentences: “Clemency to the deluded and the penitent, bnllets for the rebels, and ropes for those who ‘kindle fires in our rear,’ and wo do most sol emnly warn all such, that, should duty ever call ua home to quench those fires, a terrible retribution will await those who, kindle them.” " We do not fight to free the slaves, but we free the slaves to stop thefight.” 1 “We do most heartily approve the conscrip tion law, .under operation of which we hope to see loitering patriotism hastening to render its due support to the government that affords it protection. We hope, also, to see the ‘fire-in tbe-rear’ men under it enjoying, a clearer view of things in the sunny South,; than can be ob tained in the dim lodges of the K.. G. C.’s. The 2lst, 33d and 85th Indiana regiments— the first stationed at Bonnet Carre, La., and the second and third nt Brentwood, Tean., have recently adopted stirring resolutions in regard to tho “Pence” men at homo. They denounce the majority of the Legislature' of their State, and indorse Gov. Morton and the Administra tion. Two of the resolutions [adopted by the. 21st regiment ate of special Interest. They read os follows: " i ' . “2. That those who say ‘the soldiers will not fight for the Union, under thfe emancipation proclamation,’-falsely represent, the sentiments of the soldiery of the State, of Indiana, and that they do here publicly and firmly declare, that they will fight for the Union until it is fully restored, if our superiors will but lead as on, though a hundred 'emancipation proclama tions’ are issued, and disloyal then destroy our homes and make desolate oar dative State. “5. That if the resources of the United Slates are insufficient to support its large army and navy without pecuniary embarrassment to the Government, wo will serve her gratis, and trust to God, bur strong hands, and the for tunes of war, for our food and kaiment” A Goon Example. —When tie tax collector of New York called on Archbishop Hughes for the purpose of ascertaining the value of the plate be bad to assess, that eminent divine gave him a full statement, refusing all deduction, declaring that the government needed all that was due to it to assist in rescuing it from tbe peril in which it bad been involved by traitors. How noble is such language compared with the conduct and sentiments of those who are deny ing the government aUkettbe material and in dividual aid necessary to its, maintenance and defence. Not only in this manner, but in writ ten words of Bishop Hughes has been doing good service in; tbe cause of bis adopted country—a service which will add to a reputation already regarded as the brightest among those who stand as tht} sentinels of tbe Right. J , The silver returned by Archbishop Hughes for taxation amounted to 12,0-tO ounces. He declined to be exempted forty ounces because the country needed nit'tbo toi.
