M'CLELLAN, Subject lo the Decision of the Democratic National Convention. W tat'i to be Dose ? The accounts that reac cs from the J Sootb, although they vary as to the details of the plan of operations for the coming spring, all agree that the most formidable preparations are being made for the most desperate campaign of the war. The re cent statements of tha Radical press, that tun wuuic(cf v j ti 05 uutuiicu liauucu to submission, were the vcj antipodes of troth. The Administration have provided abundant food to strengthen the spirit of rebellion. If Mr. Lincoln bad made a gift to Jeffersoo Davis of millions from the ex chequer, to be a bed as bounty money for Soathem recruits, be would not have done better service to their cause than he has done by bis insulting Amnesty propositions, and his absurd attempt to create State Gov ernments by dictatorial power. He has eaid to the Southern people: MYorj shall net retarn to the Union except under such local Governments as I dictate ;" and the subservient Abolition Congress, that do his bidding, have added : "In the event of your submission, your estates shall be confisca ted ; your property, personal and real es tate, shall be taken from yon; your chil dren shall be disinherited, and left home- lass and penniless to urve, under the scorn and ba red of Northern fanatics ; joor lands 1 and manor nouses scan ce parceie-a oai among ocr retainers ; the negro and the adventurer shall sit and rule at your hearth stones; and yon beggars, pariahs and out casts shall be forbidden representation in our national legislatures, and be shut out forever from offices of trasl and honor." We ask the intelligent, honest citizen, if snch is not the substance of what Mr. Lin coln ad this Conqress have said, are say ing, to the South ? And with that prospect before them as the seqnel of submission outlawry, disfranctuemeat, social and po li;ical degradation, penary for themselves end their issue, decreed as their portion should they throw down their arms who shall bellave that the free, proud American blood thai swells their veit; will not be spilled to the last drop in resistance ? The inaogaration of this Administration plunged the land in civil strife ; three years of their role have scfHced to render it irre mediably a war of extermination or cf con firmed separation, unless the people have courage and firmness enough 10 create, at the next Presidential election, such a thor ough revolution in our political condition as will enstye the termination of the war opon equitable principles. We are on the erge of a campaign that threatens to be more bloody and desperate than any that have gone before and those that have gone before have hurried hundreds of thou sands to prematura . graves have draped the Und in roonrning, and have brought as to the threshold of financial rein. Conscrip tion now expands its inexorable net so a3 toimmesb almost a'l the manhood and vigor of the land. The virile strength of the States being ihns impressed into the Federal service, the State sovereignties will te powerless to oppose the aggressions of central authority and the military power will rule supreme.; Then, ihrooghoot all the North, the elective franchise. a3 in Del aware, ad Maryland, and o'.berStaes will be controlled by FeJeral b3onets. andpros titated to the cses of despotism. The State jadiciary, the State legislatures, the State executives, most either with sabservience cr perforce bend before the central scepter The same power that dictates civil govern ment according to its caprice to Louisiana and Arkansas will enforce new laws and a new Constitution upon any- Slate, and neither justice nor popular opinion will Lave an equal power to say it nay. The South in arms can resist the North disar med cannot reeit. Yon men ot the North, that Lave so locg boasted jour self-government and freedom, yoa have boond your selves to the wheels cf the Abolition tri ocnph chariots what will yoo do lo read tha bonds assunder ! . . - Tfce Ccajcrltioa. Although the "rebellion" ia enrpressed now a'l over the Sooth, yet, sirange to say, Father Abraham calls opon his loral sub jects for the small number of Five Hcndred Thousand more men. Some say that this .only means two hundred thousand ia addi tion to tha three hundred thousand ; called for last (all. At anv rate, ha proposes to draft on tfce 10th of March, provided enough to flil up the quota do not, on or before that lime, make Laste to. volunteer.

In peace, accorded, not conquered, rests onr only hop -of ever again seeing this country one, prosperous, , and powerful Have War Democrats, who profess to sup port the Administration in prosecuting this war solely fn-m their love for the Union and "the old flag;" who profess to be decidedly opposed to the Administration policy of confiscation, emancipation, subjugation and distribution ; have the War Democrats, we ask, ever reflected opon the certain eflect on the Southern mind of this extreme poli cy of the Administration which they, in cot junction with the Administration party proper, are striving to carry out ? Candidly, must not this policy make the who'e South ern people would it not make the Demo crats themselves,- supposing themselves in the place of Southerners resolved tn ac cept any alternative short of actual exter mination. rather than submit to the North 1 What worse could happen to ibem than woold follow submission o the North, and military enforcement of the actual, avowed policy of the Administration ? Have the War Democrats reflected that there are al ternatives within the reach of the Confeder acy far short of extermination ; but which woold effectually, and most disastrously for the North, place the South beyond our reach, and make reunion forever hopeless i Are we asked what these alternatives are ? We answer: The protectorate ol England; or the protectorate of France : or the joint protectorate of these two Powers. There is another the return to colonial depend ence as a province of the, British Empire. Is not Canada in much better position than would be the South under Black Republi can role, alter conquest ? There is yet ano therthe surrender of independence, and much of liberty too to Napoleon III, by becoming an integral but roost important and valuable portion of the French Empire Should the South prove incapable of maintaining its independence against the United States, and find itself on the point of succumbing (a resuir which we do not at all anticipate as probable either of the above alternatives wou'd, we donbt not, be resorted to with great unanimity by the South, rather than submit to the role cf the detested Butlers who would be sent as mil itary satraps into the provinces to provoke, insult and oppress the people. Does there remain one among the War Democrats, or even among the adherents proper to the Administration, of such overweening confi dence in the power bf the United States as to suppose, after what has recently occur red in St. Domingo and Mexico, that ei:her France or England wool ! be deterred by fear of what would remain of the United Slates from accepting such propositions on the part of the Confederacy ? Pleasant de lusion ! Give up, then, War Democrats, your hope of uniting the Union under "the old flag" by force of arms. It is in peace J in peace accorded, not conquered, that rests the only hope of ever asjain seeing this conn rr cne, prosperous, and powerful. Oh, that we could imbue all minds with this conviction as thoroughly as we possess it ourselves ! The Ladv's Fbiesd For Fibp.cart.

Clay, ex-minister to Portugal and ex-member of Congress from the Ashland district, Kentucky. Mr. Clay was the son bf Hon. Henry Clay, was born in lft 17, and inheritedhis father's ! estate, on which he lived, with his mother, until the breaking oat of the rebellion. He then took an active part with the Sooth, but, before he could carry out h"n vitjws, was arre:edat Cincinnati, in company with sixteen of his confederates, on the 25ih of September, 1661, and was confined at Camp Dick Robinson, Kentucky. He was subse quently committed lor trial at Louisville, Kentucky, and on the 30th ot September was admitted to bail in the sum of ten thou sand dollars to appear at the next January term of the United States Court. lie forfeited his bonds and left the coun try, dying, in self-imposed exile in Canada. How little did Henry Clay immagine that his own son would die an outcast and an alien to the country that gave him birth. If Henry Clay lived to day he would, in the estimation of these latter day patriots, be one of the most viilanious traitors and copperheads that ever walked upon Ameri can soil. To love oar country and its in stitutions was once a great viriila, but now it is a great crime. How sadly have the times changed 1 Thc Last Draft During the fall we were told thero would be no more draf'.s, that the '"last draft" had been mde, and that the rebellion was on its "last legs " j But this nonsensical blarney of the Abo- liiionists was soor. confronted by a call for 200 0C0 more."

LATE WAR NEWS. There is no change reported in the state of affairs at Knoxville. General Foster keeps very close quarters in the town. There is a confirmation of the fight at Tase well, the outmost, of Cumberland Gap, which represents thai '.he Federal garrison was driven back to the Gap und now does not venture out ot it, the confederate cavalry General Jones, every moment threatening mi attack. The enemy holds possession, as we reported no me days ago, of all the country between Knoxville and Cumberland Gap, and is likely to hold it- . From North Caroliua there is nothing new. Federal authorities are very reticent about the losses there and they appear to have been very great. Newbern had but a small garrifon and half at least of the troops were killed or captmed. The gunboat Underwriter is blown up, every camp de stroyed and two cannon captured. The railroad lo Moorehead city is a wreck. This movement has indefinitely post pond 'the Federal attack upon Wilmington. The Army of the Potomac still lies quiet in the mud, and nothing iurlher is said of a change of generals, cannonading has been heard from Washington, but its cause is not known. The guerrillas cannot be found by any reconnoitering party. A train bound for the army pitched into the Potomac on Saturday, killing one man and wounding several. From Boston there is news of a contemp lated raid by some Federal troop in Flori da, but nothing dctfiniie is krio.vn of it. The entire country between Memphis and Corinth has been abandoned, the Fed- eral troops retiring to Memphis. Nothing is heard of the expedition lrorn Vickaburg inland. m At Chattanooga it has suddenly been dis covered that the enemy has not abandoned Dal'on, but still hold their former positions in front of the place. So the Federal army has not ma le any advance into that portion of the 4 heart of the rebellion." The capture of General Sc.immon by the Confederates, in Sooth western Virginia, is confirmed. Forty officers and soldiers were also taken, all but three of whom were par oled. There were but thiny five of the enemy in all, only thirAeen of whom en tered the boat ai d captured the forty-one men. General Scammon is by ' this time safe in Richmond. The gueiriUaa are again depredating in Kansas. ( Quota Fillid The quota of Snyder co. has been titled by none but loyal leauers.

Lockard, oldest son ot Chariot and Joseph Lockard, aged 18 years, 9 months and 15 days. The subject of this memoir, like those of others, at the call of the Government volun leered his services to his country. He en listed August 23d, 1862, in Capt Osbahs's Co , 149ih RegtM P. V.; he was a true patri ot and brave soldier, and endured the fa tigues and privations incident to the life of a soldier in a manner scarcely excelled. Whi!e engaged in the deadly conflict at Gettysburg, he was severely wounded by some swift-flying missile of a fiendish ene my; he was allerward removed to Phila delphia for medical treatment. After the elapse of three or four months was partially restored to health, and returned once more to his regiment, where he remained an ac tive, obedient and useful soldier until with iu a few days of his death, which was caus ed by accidentally steping on a nail which passed through his boot, penetrated and nearly passed through his loot. It soon be came very painful and caused the Tttonus which soon ended the career of his useful ness. His remains were interred in Virgin. ia, bot afterward exhumed and. brought to Luzerne Co., Pa., and buried in Fairmount, January the lO'.h, 1864. The occasion was improved by the Rev. J. M. Goss, from Psalms 23d and 4th. Milton, though young in years possessed many sterling qua!itiest and has left many friends to mourn his loss. Not only the hopes of doting parents have been paralized and the fond expecMtorts of affectionate brothers and sisters sudden ly blasted but a large community of young people deeply feel their bereavement. His friends were as extensive as bis acquain tance He was generally lored by the young j and respected by the old. He bad always friendly gitoting for tit, and w& ia agreeable companion for old or young, thus his death casts a gloomy shadow over our entire community, to see oar young friend cut down in the bloom of youth and in the prime cf enlth. But such are' the decrees of natnre and we most be submissive, for all things are fleeting and pass away each in th"ir turn. Orderly D L. Creveling, in writing home to the father ol the deceased, remarks: "Do not think that in your be reavement you are the onlj ones that de plore his loss, for in the company he was loved and admired! He was always ready to do duty, and ever as ready tc lend a help ing haud when called upon no matter how arduous the task, 1 and for him we mourn." In the cleat h of young Lockard the society has lost a valuable member, the Govern ment a devoted Iriend, the nation a true pa triot, the family one of its sun-shine treas ures! One link of affection in that circle is broken, one flower is dead, one leaf has left their tree, one chord ic the music gone, one chair is left vacant, one heaven-sent blessing gone back to vast eternity. Oh, could tears 'or prayers have bound him here he had not passed away; could love have bound him to earth he had been their's to-day ; but tears and prayers and love were vain the messenger to htay. And he has passed the shadowy portal; He ha borne the mortal strife; He has left this world of sorrow For a world of heavenly life. And our heaMs are grieving for thee, Grieving with intensest pain, Grieving that we shall not ee thee Oar soldier boy, here again. Blinding tears are 'nesth our eyelids: Every lash contains a tear; And our hearts are wet wr.h weeping Weeping for thee, Milton daar! Still on .hU darkness of our grief There shines & disanl star, And heaven's own lustre make'h bright, Showing it shines afar Onr travo patriotic soldier hoy Has gone where reigns ecstatic joy. W.
