The Aspiring Segro.
Under the leaching of the 7Vi6 un e, the
colored people are beginning to "put on
airs." In the Aagh-Afncan of this week,
we find a sharp attack opoa Elizur Wright,
a ooston ADoituontat, Because ne presume
to say tbat the negro hat not as much vi
tality as the whites. The editor goes on to
show that the colored race in this country
doubles every twenty-two years, while it
lake's thirty years for tha whites, even with
the aid of emigration, to doable their nam.
bers. But bear how this darkey editor
talks : .
" 'No, friend Wright, you Deed not disturb
yourself about the black man in the United
States ; he has a good standing color, and
aa abundance of endurance ; just brush
some of those knotty cobwebs from your
train and look at him ; tall, brawny, well
limbed, sound brained as God made bim, a
man and a brotiier. You sharp-nosed,
hatchet-faced, lank haired people, aided by
science and the "hub," have vainly tried
to crush tbe manhood out of him, and fail
ed ; do give op ; you cannot lie him out of
his manhood. He is a better man aud a
belter citizen tban you or your race "ever
dare be," under any circumstances, in all
climates; if not, why Jo you cut down his
equal chances ? Why shut your eyes to
facts 1 Bluff Ben. Butler, the other day,
atarted on a forced march of two or three
clays. He had two wbi'e and two black
regiments of infantry. It was in a climate
moreover, "favorable to the whiter." How
was il when they arrived there ? One halt
the white soldiers had s'raggled, exhausted
on the road every black soldier answered
to bis name at roll-call. Pshaw ! don't
tool" any longer. If yon want this rebel
lion wiped out lake three hundred thou
and of oor blacks ; give os Ben Butler or
let as go alone, and in sixty days the South
will be wiped out."
Th? U rfeeidedlv rich. These darkies
j
now claim, it seems, to be a healthier,
sounder, brighter race than their New Eng
land admirers. These last are pronounced
' sharp-nosed, batchet-faced, and lank
haired ;" wtile the negro is "tall, brawny,
well-limbed and eound-brained." Negro
equality is no longer the doctrine ; it is
now negro superiority. What next, we
wcader ?
J Thb Old Guard This most valuable
Democratic journal has been received for
March. In the front of the publication will
ha seen a tree and striking likeness of Hon.
J mm W. Wall, of New Jersey." Mr. Wail
Is pretty generally known throughout the
United States as one of the men who never
faltereJ in the dnty of ad't-rency to the
pure principles of Democracy, and of de
nouncing the usurpation and despotism of
'Mr. Lincoln's administration. He is one of
the first men whom this tyrannical and des
potic adroinisirafion honored with a place
in Fort Lafayette, He did not remain in
thia Republican bastile lot a few days,
when the Lincoln Cabinet were glad to have
hlrn released whheut any sort or form of
complaint. His arrest was telling fearfully
against the Abouiicn party in his State, one
of the reasons ol his early release. Tbis

no two ways about it, worthy of the entire

splendid illustrations of the different styles
anJ fashions, for the Sadies, as well as pat

contain an equal amount of reading with
this Magazine, and that too of as choice a
nature. Some of our best literary talent are
employed, and contribute liberally lo this
Magazine. Each number will contain a
pattern, either marked or cut ont, of some
part of a lady's wearing apparel, which in
the course of the year will be worth to many
more than the price of the publication.

In last week's Republican is a communi
cation correcting the errors made in tbe list
of desertions as published in tbat paper the
week previous. The names of the follow
ing persons were published as deserters,
when there was not tbe shadow of truth
about the matter as to their being deserters:
Charles Miller, Briarcreek, sent substitute ;
John Be'z, Wo. Linden, Joseph D. Haider
brand, Briarcreek, and Emanuel EJar,Wrn
E-Jgar, Fishingcreek, non-resident, John
Tanner, Scott, in service.
It ts due these gentlemen that some ex
planation of the matter be made, as they
do not wish the stigma cf ''deserter ' to
attach to thair names.
That's So. An exchange illustrates the
condition of renegade Democrats (we have
several in Columbia) pretty well. An Indi
an who tyul lost his reckoning in the woods,
suddenly stopped and exclaimed, "Indian
lost !'! but unwilling to recognize his own
blonder thus, he thought a moment, and
added. 4 No ! Indian not loat wigwam
lost." These fellow that leave the Demo
cratic party never get lost the party is lost.
Like, the bewildered inebriate, in the story,
who, with his brain all in a whirl, stood in
one of the public squares, wailing for hib
house to come round, they too are watrng
for the party to come ronnd 10 them. Bat
unless they "stir their stumps" and get
home before night sets in, they will be
likely lo lie oat iu the cold.
Qcite a Ncmbcb of "Pkoplk's Canei
dates. The Abolition papers in the inter
est of Chase are placing his name at the
head of their columns, onJer the cap-ion of
he "People's candidate." Th editors who
favor Fremout are also running up his name
under the same cagtion; and the office hold
ers and shoddyites, who have contro-l of
presses are hoisting the name of poor Lin
coln, and they too call him the "people's
candidate!" So we have three "people'"
candidates in the field alreaJy, an evidence
we think, that the Abolitionists and thieves
who caU themselves the "people," are very
much divided in sentiment. Let these po
litical plotters and gamblers "wait a little
longer." the people have not yet named the
man they desir for their next President.
When they do name him let Abolition trai
tors and 'one tenth" conspirators stand from
under, or they will smother under the peo
pie's wrath.
Gks Meade, onlike some Abolition Gen
erals, has not led the Potomac army to
needless defeats ; but copying M Cellar's
example, beat the rebel at Getty sbur-:; and
now Lincoln's inquisition, as has been for
some time suspected, is afier him. One
motive for persecuting Meads is quite ap
parent : He has Dot plajed the politician,
bat has been a soidier in this war; tad un
less it's found that be will not only sup
port old Abe lor another terra, but see that
bis army is not allowed to vote any ether
way, be will be turned oat of '.he army, as
I others have been.
Indications are, that the Authorities at
Washington mean to place a large army
in the field at the opening of the Spring
campaign. One strong, desperate effort
will be made, from the looks of things, and
if not succe.fu!, we may look for a cessa
tion of ho3iilities. Mr. Lincoln and party
are beginning to find that it will be impos
sible to carry oh a war, and re-elect the
present incumbent. The Chase interest is
fast edging in the way, and it- claims some
considerable attention.
Abrabam Lincoln having two soldiers in
the field to J iff. Davis' ore, as we heard
an Abolitionist remark the other day, why
does he not whip ihe rebels, go to Rich
mond, put down the rebellion, and be done
with it ; and once more let tbe cocniry be
at peace ; instead. of his making draft after
draft for more men 1 Old'Abe is a hum
bug, and so is his party. They are good
for nothing but lo destroy a good country,
and pile up a huge national debt ! The
sooner this thing is changed the better.
It is rumored that General Meade is
soon to be retired, as they hare it. This is
the administration's polite way of announc
ing a General's removal from command.
They will remove Meads presently as they
do all good Democrats. He is a General,
and tot much of a Soldieb, lo be aboliiion
izei by Liacola aad party.
Colonel DaJilgren'i "Order."
; "One more unfortunate' Uiric Dahl
gren has gone to a bloody grave, and his
mutilated body ior his wounds were hard
ly healed when he was sent on his last des
perate errand is added to the heap of deaJ
that has been piled on the soil of Virginia.
There is someihin'i very sad in this. And
it U made more o by the revelations since
his death of ihe actual object of this adven.
lure. On bis march so say the Abolition
papers he secured a negro non-combat
ant, and persuaded or compelled him to be
his guide to Richmond, through the net
work of roads and streams, great and small,
which encompass the Confederate capital.
This negro, either by accident or design
the former quite as probable as the latter
from ignorance or stupidity, took him in a
wrong direction, and Dahlgren hang"ed him
as an incentive to his race, or, as Vol
taire said long ago of Admiral Byng's mur
der, " pour encourager lei autres.1' This was
lo say the least of it, sharper justice than
was meted out to Rob Roy's spy. It so
happened thus again say the demoniacs
ol the Abolition press that when ColoneJ
Dahlgren'a party discovered their error,
they were in the neighborhood of the house
of Mr. Sneddon, the Confederate Secretary
of War. In their rage they burned it to the
ground, and would, (here again we quote),
"have thrown the owner in, if they had
found him." But it does not end here. 0;i
Dahlgren'a person, when killed, was found
an addres to his soldiers, and a sort of or
der of the day in case of success, in which
be directed them, after releasing the Fed
eral prisoners, to arm them, and 'then kill
Jeff. Davis and hjs Cabinet." And this
revelation is mads and published in Ad
ministration newspaper, and read in
leagues and clubs, at sanitary fairs, and
Christian commisioas, without a word of
dissent, or criticism, or rebuke. It is thought
all right to murder unarmed men, il they
be "Rebels." Now we have no disposition
to oversiaie facts, or to do injustice to the
dead, who were mere Agents or ministers ;
or to the living,- who are responsible for
this deed of wrong. We have waited to
see if it would be excused, or palia!ed, or
justified. It has been neither, but it has
been assumed to be right; and finding it so
we pause in sorrowful wonder over the fact
in amazement at the insanity which, at
a moment like this, imitates such a mode
of black flag warfare. What wou?d have
been said if on the person of General Brks
dale, or any other Confederate officer who
fell at Antietam or Gettysburg, had teen
found an order to kill Mr. Lincoln, Seward,
Bates, and their associates. What a wail
ol jnt indignation would have bean raised
at such atrosity . We trust the War Depart
ment will disavow this bloody order. e.
If!
"If ifs and andt ware pots and pans
there would be no work for the tink
ers," says the ssge woman Mother Goose.
II it were not for the tardiness cf this gen
eral here, and the pokeness of that regi
ment there ; if it were not for 'hii rain tai
ling, or that storm blowing, if this bridge
had been torn up, that guide had not mis
led cs ; if we bad only caught that telegraph
operator ; if it had not been for that desert
er who informed the enemy ; if il had not
been for that battery, or that picket, in short
if there had been no war and no Confeder
ate army in ibe road, how easy it would be
to take Richmond ! If we only could put a
little piocb of salt, ever so little, on the tail
otihe Confederate bird, how readily we
conld catch it ! How many "ifs"and "buta"
have we accepted as apologies or excoses,
a'ter failure during three years? How
would a confiding people have got along
without them, daring tha past month? If
we had cot been rpuled at Olustee, we
snonid have been victorious. If Farragut
had taken Mobile, it would have been ours
JSmiih had joined Sherman, he would not
have comeback so soon If Snerman had
taken Selma or Mobile, or beaten Johnston,
be would not be at Jackson, i Butler had
had no deserter, Custer had ,on!y cut the
road and wires at Cbarlottsville, if Kiipal
rick ah ! how sad it is that there should
be so many ifs, and 'that we should al
ways come so very near success, and yet
never achieve it ! Age.
Payment of the Slililia.
Why is it lh.at tbe patriotic militia, who
so promptly responded to the call of the
Governor during the first rebel raid into this
Stale, have never been paid 1 ThoJsands of
citizens made great pecuniary sacrifices on
that occasion, suspended all business oper
ations, and it is right tbat they should be
remunerated. If we mistake not the Leg
islature passed a law making provision for
the payment of the militia, and thousands
of dollars were expended irr having the ne
cessary blanks printed. In pursuance of
orders from the Adjutsnt General the var
ious company roils were properly made out
and furnished to his department last sum
mer, and the militia given to understand that
tt eir pay would be forthcoming in a very
short time. The election passed by, the
soldiers friend" was succes.-lul, and the
militia have nol yet been paid ! The ques
tion is what became of the money specially
appropriated tr this purpose 7 Danville
Inlelli geitttr.
Colonel Dablsren.
It is gratifying lo find that the orders al
leged to have been found upon the body of
Colonel Dahlgren are repudiated, if not by
the Administration, at least by tbe press of
tha North, with the exception of the New
York Tribune. That papr says :
With a fw exceptions, the orders, wheth
er real or fictitious, are military. and prop
er, and are only preverted into an unworthy
meaning by Rebel malignity.
Neither would the first accounts of the
maltreatment of Colonel Dahlgrea's corpse
seem to be correct, as it is now said that it
has been sent home to bis family. It is
paicfully true that the war is becoming
more and more barbarous every day, but
wa are not yet savtei.
On last Saturday evening we chanced
lo attend a very able , and interesting dis
course, delivered by E. Kohr, in St. Paul's
Church. After thi gentleman had closed
his sermon, an incident transpired which is
worthy of notice. A collection was taken
up for the benefit of the Missionary Society
alter which the usual process of admitting
life members lo the same was put in opera
tion. Qui a a number of new members
had been admitted their friends paying
five dollars for the certificate of member-,
ship when a gentleman proposed that
Abraham Lincoln be made an Honorary
member. Fifty dollars were required to ac
complish tbis. A subscription was opened
forthwith, and after a considerable urging
and difficulty, which spoke rather disparag
ingly of this classical seat of Abolitionism,
the sum was subsirUied but not collected
Immediately after this announcement, Rev.
M. J. Carothers sprung to the floor and,
revealing fifty dollars which he held in bis
hand, slated that he was prepared to make
General George E. McClellan an Honorary
member of the society. A good number of
soldiers being present their enthusiasm arid
great love ior "Little Mac" could not be
suppressed upon this sudden and happy
announcement, and they gave vent to en
thusiastic applause, the greater pari of ihe
audience joining them with great gusto.
Mr Carothers still held the floor, and after
quiet was restored, he presented twenty
five dollars more stating that be desired to
make Mrs. McClellan a life member of the
society. This announcement was also hail
ed with great applause. The money was
collected in two hours time from the friends
of Gen McClellan in the Conference and In
this place. We understand that Carothers
advancedCeen dollars at the adjournment
ol Conference to get Old Abe his certificate
i of membership, his friends having left him
stick. Thus il will be in our national-affairs.
The Abolitionists Save drugged Lin
coln and the coantry into the slouch of ruin
where they will finally let them slick, and
McClellan will have to rescue both Lincoln
and th-s country. Lrwiiburg Argus.

Slill Another Draft.
Il is now entirely certaii that another
draft is to be made as soon as the present
one is filled. The Washington correspon
dent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, in his let
ter of the 21 inst.' says :
"The Provost Marshal-General to-day
annocuced that il would be well for each
district to secure all the men that they could
to the credit of their districts, that a new
draft would be necessary as soon as this one
is filled."

Why do not those of our cotemporaries
who attacked, so violently, Gov. Seymour,
whence alleged that ihe draft was unfairly
enforced in New York, now acknowledge
that be was right ? Since the Congress
ional Committee of Abolitionists, appointed
ior the purpose of enquiring into alleged
discrepency, have reported in favor of Gov.
Seymonr's calculation, and have ordered a
reduction by several thouiand, of the quota
of New York and Brooklyn, it would only
be honest in those presses to own their er
ror. It is too much to expect honesty or
fair play from the Abolition organs?
