Columbia co. Republican, What is that to your business, Mr. Doctor John? If it were all right, you would not have the honesty to say so. And if it were ever so wrong, you have not the seuso to make tho discovery. Dr. John inquires through the last "Smut Machine," what has become of certain Southern politicians, some of whom he has named and asks to be en lightened. We answer him frankly, they arc now where you and your party have been through life, (if wo except tho last few months,) opposing tho "Laws, the Constitution and tho Government." Traitors. Dn. John, last week, Again spoke of Mr. Vallandioiiaji, as "tho leader of the Breckinridge Democracy in Congress." The manager of tho "smut machine" ignorant as ho is, knows that Mr. Val landigiiam, like Mr. D, V. Skydekt, and Col. WmonT, never was a "Breckinridg cr," but is too much of a knavo to think of doing juslico to a political opponent. Wc shall contiuuo to stir him up and re mind him of his willful misrepresenta tions. BSyAVc understand that Alem B. Tate late of the Berwick Gazette, Ms prosecu ted our old friend Wm. Uobinson, of this placo, for calling him a "secessionist." It mortally offends sumo people to bo called by thoir right names. Columbia co. Republican, It is a remarkable fact, that thcro aro but two classes of fellows, hereabouts, who mako it a business to denounco loy al citizens. They aro without an ex ception, the descendtnls of Tories, and apostate Democrats, Dr. John belongs to tho first, and Mr. Robinson to the second class of these modern patriots. I Army Ooncspondcnco. Falmouth, Vn., May 17, 1802. Col. Freeze, Hear Sir; I gonorally omploy my lei sure moments in riding around tho country for tho purpoa of learning tho sentiments of tho people, their manners of living, and encountering adventures. 1 have met with mauy straugo incidents, which 1 promise myself much pleasuro in recounting to you in caso I live to return home. I havo becotuo acquainted with quito a number of old Virginia families. Last Sunday I vistitod one of this blass in Trinco William's Co., with which I had contracted a slight intimacy. I received much instruction and was highly entertain ed. The head of the family was about 80 years of age, but his memory and pow crs of conversation wcro undiminished. Ho had a lively recollection of Washington, Lee, Madison, Monroe, and many otlior distinguished Virginians, Ho was a near neighbor to tho former and attended tho samo church in Alexandria. A short time previous to his death, a military gen tleman formed a company in Alexandria, consisting of small boys. TIiU company assisted at tho funeral of Washington. Only two of tho numbor yet livo ; my friend being one of them. He showed mo a pair of silver-mounted pistols, onco the property of Washington. They had been giltcd over to suit tho rank of Major Gen eral, and on tho handles was engraved "Gcn'l. G. Washington." Soon after com ing into the hands of tho prcsont possessor, ho mado a trip to New Orleans. When near tho Musolo Shoals of tho Tcnncssco night overtook him, and ho halted at a ferry owned by a certain Indian Chief, whoso name I have forgotten. The chief, though drunk; entertained tho traveller and on taking off his saddle, saw the pis tols and holsters. Uttering tho character istic "Ugh," he exclaimed "Mo know him; ho built mo this house." Ho was not un derstood ; and next morning the gentleman left. On arriving at Washington ho men tioned the ciroumstanoo to Henry .Lee, who immediately explained it. Tho Indi an Chief had been a faithful attendant on Washington, taking care of his things, and by this means became acquainted with all his equipments. The General, in order to reward him for his services, built him a houso on the Tcnncssco near the Musclo 8hoalsj and Congress, after his retire- ment, by a Special Act refunded him tbo "entertainer held a position under ' finrnrnmonf ,1,.: f.m r ' r,i: A.i::.i....: .i 1'iaunuu ii iiuuiiuiauuuuu. auu uiiuu mu ' t i e it fioini i ! breaking out of the war of 1812 took a : i. a i .i . . W1U1UI3JIUU IU tUU UlillV. UUVClill BWU1U3 taken from British officers were shown me, ! and many interesting anecdotes related. Ono part of tho houso formed a picturo gallery, which was very interesting. There woro many old pictures by renowned ar- j tists of raro valuo ; but what chiefly amused mo wero the old family portraits. ncro was an antique lady with huge skirts, and an immense storaaehor, whilo byhcrsidowas tho "old Virginia gen tleman" arrayed in buff waist coat with ) flaps to tho thigh, dainty silk stookings, snow-whito frills and ruffles, and an enor mous wi g. Tho books were old and or thodox. His extreme politeness almost shamed p ... i i . i mo oi my Diunt manner: anu l was on nettles till tho formal and lengthy dinner was'ovcr. The ladies then entertained n ; wasovcr. J he ladies then entertained us with music and singing. His politics woro ''State's Itinhts." which here means Secession, lie has fivo ! son3 in the rebol army. Ho informed mo 0rt3 at Charlcstown. Ho would doubt that so long as thcro was a United Gov- j les3 mako brilliant work of it. ornmcnt ho clung to it, and that his county j had sent a Union delegate to the Virginia Tnc Pa?crs sa thnt Gcncral McOIollan, Convention : but after tho fall of Fort , ougli atruok by a picco of aholl at Will- bumptcr he changed sides. He argued s changed Bides. Ho arKucd i "that a man's first allcgianeo was to his State, and his second to tho Uuitcd States; the latter being tho creation of the former, and entrusted with only certain delegated and enumerated powors. "Ho fought for tho Union as long as ho could, but ho went with his State." This is tho rock upon which this pcoplo split. Of courso I oudoavorod to arguo against theso fallacies. Ho thought tho war would bo long and bloody, and final ly would degenerate into a guerilla strug gle j that tho Souih were taking their ar mies from tho coast to be out of rango of our gun-boats, and thon to wait for sick nets, &c, to doits work. Siuco my last wo havo moved to this vicinity; but tho description I sent you of a late rcconnoisanco renders tho account of our march horo uninteresting. Ono pontoon bridge, and ono of canal boats aro stretched across tho river, and tho rail road bridgo is completed. Tho cara can now run to Aequia creek. Only ono Bri gado, Gen. Patriok's, is now in Freder icksburg. Troop3 aro constantly arriving, Gen. Shield s forco has joined us, thus lea ving Banks with only two Brigades accounts for his falling back to New Mar- ket. I think wo soon will mako a forward movement directly on Richmond, which is only 60 miles south of horo. I am pained to learn that Gen. Hunter has declared tho slaves freo in Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida; and that ho is forming nogro Brigades out of them. I am suro that President Lincoln will dis claim this act, as ho did Fremont's proc lamation. Nothing more unwiso could bo dono at this tirao. when our troops are ev erywhere victorious, and when ultimate Access is so nigh. Perhaps the abolition- j ists, scoing that tlio Union is about to bo restored with tho rights of Statc3 unim paired, and fearing that among those rights tho privilcgo of ''regulating their domestic institutions" will bo retained, havo brought all their influence to bear to havo emanci pation declared, even at tho expenso of a protracted war. My only hope is that tho President will abido by tho . policy laid down at the commencement of his administration. I enlisted in this war to rcstoro tho Union as il teas, and to seo tho Constitution literal ly carried out. So did thousands of my countrymen. When that coasos to bo the object, I no longer wish to romain in an army procured by such fraud and perjury. Therefore, if tho President maintains Gen. Hunter, my rc&ignation, with hundreds of others will bo sont to tho Department. Tho effect of bringing negroes into sor vico will not only givo them the rights of citizenship contrary to a decision of tho Supremo Court, but will havo a tendency to degrade our whito soldiers, Wc cannot acknowledge ourselves so ivcak as to need their assistance. Not only will the prcco dent bo dangerous, but it gives the blacks a fearful power, and tho end will be re bellion on their side. I havo watched them carefully, and from observation in this and other counties, am convinced that they aro not fit for citizens, nor of tho right stamp for so ldicrs. But you can reason on this matter bettor than I can, therefore I will not tax your patience further. AltTILLEItlST. Genesee Farmer. Wo acknowledge tho receipt of the April, May and Juno Nos. of the "Gen- cscc Farmer."

Friend Harris, wc trust you will hereafter bo as punctual, as wc havo always found your "Farmer" interesting and entertaining. Dr. John says "The editor of the Democrat, in alluding to the result of the special election for Congress, held in Bucks and Lehigh counties, a few days ago, exults in calling it a great victory, and insists that "Breckinridge stock is up, in that District."

The Secretary of tho Navy Mr. Wells has ordered our Naval commanders to enlist lunaway slaves 'n tho Nav "ratinS thcm a3 at 58, SO, or 10 per month, and ono ration." Mr. Welles ought to bo put in command of a floet l"u3 manncd and sent to capture tho iamsburS cscaPctl uninjured. Wo at arc not surprised at it. An officer, who could stand as many attacks from politicians as ho has dono, must bo bomb-proof. OST-IIon. S. S.

Aflor holding a conference with somo of tlio would-be-leading Republicans, it was con cluded that it was inexpedient to pay 85 for tho privilcgo of organizing a "Uniou League" in Carilisle. Carpenter left, in a very bad humor. Does any know body know "whero Abo lives and travels?'' American Volunteer. Conditional Unionism. Wo purposo to remain in and uphold tho Union, oboy its rightful government and laws in nil Tbis(tos consistent ivith a good conscience, iv. x. jnounc, Woprcsurao that Garrison, Phillips, and tho ultra Abolitiousts generally, havo long been willing to avow just such a conditional Unionism ns this. But they hold that slavery is not "consistent with a good con science," and then arguo to tho illogical conclusion that, if tho Federal Government docs not, in tho excrciso of unconstitutional and unsurped power, abolish it, thoy will not "rcmaiu in ond support tho Union !" Is this what tho Iribunc means by tho condition which it attaches to its continu ance in tho Union. Albany Arstts Ftom the SMr of the North, Tho Fearful Issues. Mn. KmtoKi Feeling It my duty as ono wlin '.roiild wi.iti to give all tlio light possible to my tltmncrnlic brethren on the past up to tlio prevent comliiion ol our country. In llio first placn, wi,n nil American pcoplo, nuiilil lo consider, anil net jmticlouMy, and nsltlo those intnriml ilixpitles by fair menus, nml noi by powder nml ball ; for violent mean unit measures should never bo usotl but in ilo?poralc cases. 1 nk tho question, would it not bo mora fit for n ccrlnin class of political men to work in a light house four yenrs when they would not go away If ihoy coulil rnthcrthan to hnvo Ilia nnlion put Into such a confusion, to hinder it nt thu expense of millions of monoy nntl prop, orty, anil tho loss of thousands of lives, nil by Abolitionism 1 Render, thcro Is a causa for nil this. Let us look at somo of the causes, which brought about this present trouble. I said in my last I would fry to show that tho negro was not what tho Re publicans and Abolitionists nrc af.er. First, then, four years ago, all over tho Northern Slnies Abolitionists ami Republicans sece ded. Thoy did nni fill the ensign of stars only sixteen wero soon on their bnnnersl Hear what llicy say: "Hotter no constitution, no Union with the South, than to livo in Union with ihom." Garrison said tho "Uni ted Stales Constitution is a covenant with Death and nn agreement with iloW' Ho also said, ''it was not llio mero emancipa tion of slaves lliuy wanted, but lo bo file il literate men thnt Ihoy might gain their project." Hoar what Seward said at Albany: ho "hoped tho lime would como when llio Constitution would bo changed nnd the Union dissolved, even at this Prosidenlin, olection." Look nt Nathaniel P. Hanks what ho said as speaker of the Honso : " I am not for the pcrpetunlion of this Union, I am willing to let it slide." He also said, "this Union cannot nnd ought not to 6tand." Hear Mr. Giildings, ho said ho 'hailed it ns the down fall, anil the Democratic party with it." Now liston to Henj. F Wado, ho said "ihero is really no Union now between tho North and tho South, nnd ought not to bo." R. P. Spnolding said, "I mn for a dis solution, I caro not how quick it comes." Horace Mann, hear him "belter diunion, bolter war, than to have such a rag as tho Constitution." Garrison, Sumner, Hanks, Rockwell and Wllon said, "up with tho fing of Disunion." Pleaso hear Garrison again, when he said, "this Union is n lie, and our first business islo took its niter overthrow, let tho Union bo accur.ed." Now hear Josinh 'Quincy who said "no Union, no con stitution " Jnrnos Watson Webb mado uso of ibis language, "wo ure hear lo form a solemn compact, by which the cause of tho democratic parly and this Union must be dissolved with sword in hand, so help us Gad ; yes, nothing more nor nothing less than civil war." Tho Rev. H. Ward Reedi er has fnid, "all we want is to' cut tho Nortli from tho South, for iwo groat nations or powers can't livo together, let it be set tled now clear the place, let us have war," for said he, ''Rifles beforo the Hlble." He also said, Met there be divisions of tho nation into iwo parts, tho Northern and Southern, of which chould be the downfall of tbo Democratic parly; their very name has vanished from tho (nco nf tho earth.' Ho further states, that iho Abolition parly fore saw that this must como lo pass soon. Rev. Reechor is, in principle, a Demon, and a fire-rnoulhed Dragon he made war years ago in religious matters he is ono of Goorgo I'oxu's strait coats without a collar. Thus, reader, you can see that it is noi the Nogro they aro after; it is the destruction of tho Constitution and thu Democratic par ty, in order thai ihey may lorrn a new gov ernment. Thoy use the Negro as a substi tute lo work out their hellish designs. Tho sympathy they seem to have for him is false, for Wendell Phillips himself acknowl edges he has been engaged for nineteen years to overthrow the Union. Rut now, what do we hear from ilium; why, Union, Union, Union! just as though they wero al ways Union. They talk much of servitude, but pleaso, Reader, look at those whites (femnlcs) employed in Iho Kastcrn Factories and you can seo that they work harder and moro hours in n day than do the slnves of the South. There are instances where the employees nro locked up that none may go out or any como in, and all work by tho ringing of the bell, to llio minuto, under a penally, which i a moro sovereign act of tyranny than the black Slaves of iho Poulh are brought to feel the denominated slaves of the tipper order. Such sorviiude degene rates health, nnd those who labor as abovo, appear pale liko iho polalo stalk that grow up in tho culler. Those children who aro raised in a slate of such subordination havo very litllo opportunity for school, or any chanco for improvement nnd information, but in point of cultivation must become like tho wild nss colt. Girls raised in a fac tory, from the ago of ten years to eighteen, what aro they good for but to become nuns in a factory, shut up for they know noth ing about housewifery, aro only fit for Dolls at onormous expense, when the old ladies aro gone who knows how to doctor, nurse and dictate to others, what will :ho poor ladles do who are brought up and learned to livo upon "do nothing," except to dross and light Ince ? Sir, in the time of tho Revolutionary struggle there wero virtue and resolution among tho people, as tho heart of ono mail. So Washington could well say "united wo stand, divided wo fall." Deem any man an enemy who will dare lo mention a separation of tho nation, nnd division of iho country. I find in the nullification business of iho North that Iho people did not go wild thoir leaders in tho principle lo divide iho Union, but when discouraged and unprovided for by thoir rulors, thoy, ol their own volition, flew to arms as exemplified by (he Ver montcrs in nlTairs of Platisburg, and that of Stonlngtou. So in the piosent contest, by dividing the States, Iho people have nothing to gtvu.but much to lose, and everything at stake. Well, look at the Abolition contention and jealouey, Iho many namos under which ( his troublo is called, and how do you find it ' w liy, sir, war, urmies, oxpences, plun der, murder nnd rnpino, with nil the hor rors connected with war ; and of all wars civil or domestic nro tho worst, as exem plified In tho present condition of our coun try, by such unholy demagogues ; a war of extermination, for bitterness and rovonge, connected with bigotry of a hypocritical kind ; excited animosity of tho most danger ous character, that which oxpels calm roa son, nnd humane loelings, bordering upon insanity, diabolical rngo nnd madness, Dear reader, look back to tho dreadful scenes of the Whig and Tory days in tho Revolution, there you can hoar the descend ants tell of tho days nnd sullerings of their fathers and mothers, loo horrid for tho his torin.it of those days to fully record. If tho torias failed in their fir ft plan, they would devise tho second, nnd so on, for the do slruction of tho couniry. Thoso of their progeny, tho AbolitioniMs nnd Republi cans, seem to (ostcr tho same plans; il they in their first attempt fnil, they try Ihe sec ond, nnd so on, until Ihey have ruined our beloved country. Each State reserving lo ilscll tho power to govern lis own policy, which shows that Congress cannot loyislato on Slavory in tho South, or upon Iho Yankee law, religion in the Nortli. Tho Abolitionists hnvo again chnnged their nnmo, calling themselves Tar turners, (at least It U said they havo in Iho town of I! ,) but how il is, I nm unablo to say.for they camo with their datk lanterns in tho dead hour of the .night, and burned Lincoln in cffiny; nnd no one knows for what cause this was dono, unless it was that ihey hnvo beeomo so mortally opposed to Abolitionism, and ns Old !: b,as signed ono "nigger bill" I supposed that to bo Iho causo. Thoy praised Buchanan very high ly by paying adoration to him in tho way o singing somo of the tunes of hi acts, which he was justifiable in not throwing a slander upon himself or tho Democratic parly. They had a very prolty Utile spokcr, who Iried to tell who wero Abolitionists, poor Hoy; ho had forgot, (ho ought lo know,) whoever slood by Lincoi.s was a Abolition its. This Utile fellow is a very smart boy, at least he think he is, by being puffed up by some of tho "friend's," so called. It is limo peoplo nro governed by gooil sonso, nnd not by a blind zeal. Lot evory Demo crat take warning and look ahead Patoiot. n D. Democratic Stnlc Convention. Tho time is fast approaching for tho as sembling of Iho Democratic Slate Conven tion which ix to meet at Harrisburg on iho fourth of July next, to pm in nomination candidates to bo supported nl Iho eusuinc fall election, by the Democrats, and others who nro opposed lo the wild nnd ruir.ous schemes of plunder nnd anarchy of tho par ty now in power. Never beforo, sinco the organization of our government, lias nich reckless extravagance been witnessed, nor havo ihe laws been so flagrantly violated. "Military necessity" has been made a standing excuse for these, whilo a vitiated ana tyranuical spiiiihas been tho motor. There are bul few men in tho state, outside the abolition multinomial no party parly, who have not been subjected to ihreals, in sult, contumely, and abuse, whilo many havo suffered imprisonment and mob vio lence, and there are few men who will not regre!, when ihey havo to pay in the form of taxes, ilia plundered millions, that ihey ever assisted in raising to power a parly, the antecedents of which are all bad, and that has now brought poverty and ruin on tho the land. The Democratic Motto is "The Constitution and the Union," "The Constitution ns it iSjand the Union as it was." Every truo Democrat will exert all his pow er to crush out iho wicked and unholy re bellion that is now raging, and in bringing traitors North and South to that just punish ment they deserve. Hut they ilespme and condemn thu opposition, who, by making loud-mouthed professions of loyally, en deavor lo hide Irom an oulraged public their mischovious and plundering practices and thoir infidelity to the constitution. The sober second thought of the people, speak ing through tho ballot box, will hurl this mololy crew of plunderers from their high seats, in the political synagogue ana place in Iheirsicud men ol iried worth, patriotism and honesty. For some sixty years has Iho United States been Democratic, and governed on Democratic princip'es, and du ring that period made advances in national greatness and prosperity, of which the pre vious history ol nations afford no paralell; but, as soon as those princinlss and lan.l. marks are abandoned to a set of men who ignore them, as is now Ihe case, wo find our glorious old ship of slate afloat among Ihe breakers of anarchy and confusion, with out rudder or compare, already bilged, and in imminent danger of sinking to iho bot tom. Prudent mon in such caso fly to the pumps, clear Iho breakers, and put iho good old ship about, into the well known and sale courso, umrkoil out in that invalu. able chan.tho constitution, where all is safe ty and ihe way is clear. Let us then as Democrats and lovors and supporters of our glorious union, fly to iho re.cuo. Select mon of tried worth and ability, to bo sup ported in iho political campaign next fall and wo shall not fail of euccoss. For Au ditor General wo havo heard mentioned tho names of Richardson L. Wright, Col. Jacob Zeiglur, ond othors, all good men nnd true, whilo for Surveyor General iho name of our osioomed friend, Col.

Either or any of the gentlemen named as candidates for nomination would receive a hearly sup. port from the Democracy, as well as from many who havo heretofore acted with tho opposition. The croakers against tho Dem. ocrats havo expended nearly all thoir ven om, and new, with hoarso and discordant voices, aro preparing to ook another peri nd of obscurity from which it would havo been well il thoy had nover emerged. Ninth Jlranch Democrat, Gbn. Sterling Pwce, of iho rebel army, is said to have been killed a fow days since.

This very nat urally set my mind lo work upon the sub ject and l camo to the conclu.-iou that it was a burning shame, yen a ili'grace that will hang liko an incubus to thi present administration, that Ihey were feeding and clothing thousand nf Negroes and keeping them in idleness, wlulu tho Families nl the Union Soldier-' wore in mauy caos suiter ing. What think you of that, ye tav-pajers1 I.- it any wonder that tho expenses nt ihe Governmcnl exceeds two million dollars per day 1 Is i any wonder thai there is a mighty change in the minds ol ihe coldiers, that there is dissatisfaction in the army ? lint Iho evils that will arise Irom ihis cauo ol proceedings are riiiuufohl; and 1 shall in future letters try and handle this subject and Its authors tho Abolitionists as best I ran, without curium (or tlio snnrlings of ihose petly bastard like Union bluler At straburg I learned that Shields' Divis ion had crossed the mountain, but where Ihey wero stationed 1 knew not, but was told to wait until net morning, and t tin ri I could get trans oiiation to tho Regiment, Thcro wore nearly twenty thousand Hildiers hero, and Gen. Hanks was strongly fortify ing himself upon a hill overlooking the town. There is a great deul nf sickness al that plncu, hum cighl to ten diu daily. Next morning at 8 o'clock 1 took iho cars on iho Piriisburg and Manassas Railroad, bul did not know our deMinatinn--as there wero over n hundred of us going to join the diflerent Regiments, all under the charge of a commissioned officer. Many incidents occurred during the journey lhat would bo in'cresiing to your renders, had I the lime to relate them. We arrived ul Manassas which was so long the terror of tho t.orili at 3 o'clock P M Thu cars only stopped fifteen minutes. I had no lime to make many observation' and all I can say is, thnt the place was strongly fortified at all points lor miles around. I saw hero one ot the 'Quaker" guns which tho robeUleli behind when ihey cvacuaied the placo. It was a round piece of Ing, painted black, mounted on wheels, and at a little di-tanco looked, as one ot the boys remarked, "lor all the world like a cannon " Wo hero took the Orange and Alexandria Railroad for Alexandria, where we arrived at C o'clock We had w it 1 1 us a full car load of ''contrabands," that had been stolen from their owers, and the Government was assist in" them in their flight So wc drift. Here 1 first learned where ihe 8-lth was sinlinned. It was nt Fredericksburg, 75 miles from that city. In company with Capt. Cri-smaii, of Company C , 8-lth Regiment, P. V , I visit ed the "Maiisiiai.1. Housk," whero ihe gal lant young Ei.LswonTii was killed, in May of last year. Il is a splondid house, and is kepi by a gentleman Irom Philadelphia. Curiosity prompted me lo mako many in quiries in regard o this murder, which shall lorm ihe subject for another communication. Next morning wo took pa-s.ige on the fine Government steamboat, A'oiA America, for Aqnia Creek ilisiar.ee Go miles, where wo arrived tit 12 M Wo passed Fort Washington in tho trip. This Fori is situated on iho left bank of the Potomac, ami is a very stroim stone Fort In sides facing the river aro' piercod for 2-1 guns, and has at present 10 heavy Parrot guns mounted on the parapet. The garrison Hand appeared on the walls and plavod "Hail Columbia" and several naiionulairs as we were passing. Tho rebels had thrown up strong intrench meets at Aquia Creek, which placo ihey evacualed somo months ago. Wo hero took ihe cars again and nrrived in camp just al dark. I lound iho boya all well, ond Iho whole camp in a bustle, as they had orders in march next morning. Gen. McDowell's Division was hero loo.
