:t,Fiom the New York New Nation )
We all recoil ect that' worthy citizen of
Athens who banished Aristides solely be
cause it annoyed turn to hear the epithet,
'the Just," constantly, coupled with - his
name. We have all . been struck by this
Strang a spec men of political liberty, and
by the lack of judgement in the application
It w;i not because this tin3urt notoriety
given to the name of a citizen of the repub
lic might alter a time, prove dangerotii, nor
because the epithet of "Jasl" was question
able, that the worthy citizen dl Greece ban
ished Aristides." He woald not even discuss
the matter, the epithet annoyed hira, and.
thai was enough to ostracise its unfortunate
tearer. lo this we see an excess bl liberty
and a lack of political education.
Now, we are annoyed and irritated ai
hearing the words Abraham Lincoln arid
honesty always coupled together ; but baihg
more generous than the excellent Athenian
citizen aforesaid, we propose, before estra
ciziag hoi s) t Abe' horn the White House, to
consider his riLt io the surname of "Hon
est 1" To call one man honest but of a pop
ulation of -thir y millions, is not so ranch
a compliment to hint- as a satire upon all
the rest. Let us look into his honesty and
capability. After three years of patient
silence we have a rigrit, and moreover it is
our doty, Mr. Lincoln, to . examine your
acts and show iherb' to the nation. You
eommenced by confiding the fate of our
cause, the honor of our' arms, and the lives
of out sons to men having no higher claim
to such trust than a bof t of voters at their
command, whose support you coveted in
order . to ad'vance the wslfare ol the
nation.
We have allowed you to further your
political and personal interests,' and to trans
form into heroes men whose inefficiency
baa swallowed up thousands of lives and
millions of treasure, so that you might be
able to dazzle the eyes of the people with
victories far more., than ' reaL We have
permitted yon to sacrifice, .tried patriots,
whose popularity alarmed you, and whose
energy disappointed your calculations.
We have allowed you to deceive the peo
pie i.ws have let you transform disgraceful
defeats inio vietories ; and even we made
no outcfy when you were reduced to beg
exoneration for aets which have eternally
disgraced the honor of oar arris. You have
been unable either to foresee or forestall
anything. What has become of the nation's
enthusiasm T What ha ve you done with
the immense resources, unprecedented in
history,' that the nation has lavithlv giveu
yon ? '-"' "' ' ";i '"" ' - ' t
Yoa are now appealing to" conscription,
and wa'will not enter into discussion of the
principle itself, but we will tell jou that
yoa should have foretean that the day mast
come whan yoa would need these' men,
and that yoa were to blame in not ealliog
for than; when the pop.e's enthusiasm, was
first arccied, whea thtj, eertaiaty would
cot have been - refused : yoa. ' Yoa are to
blame, inasmuch as thro' your - incapacity

. You have told the country that' both the fn tire lace of so m'Uch incapati!ity and
rebellion and slavery were dead ; you have corruption, arriotistn alone has ktrpt vs ei
told the people that the forces of the .rebels lent. , Each tfme that a fresh deleat 'or a
were reduced toy desertions, and that they , fresh 'Concession to foreitn powers bronght
Could'net "be recruited, fed, nor clothed ; an indignant exclamation; to out lips, we
and yet yoa are forced to act on the da fen
aive, being threatened at all points.
Whenever yoa have directed the, act ion
of our troops they have beers uniformly un- j
successful.; you liare perpetually onered
us the wretched spectacle of splendid re
sources and excellent chances of success
sacrificed to incapacity; The only success
which yea came near attaining, but the
credit of which we intend to take from you,
i due to the incredible imaginativeness
that you have displayed in describing facts.
Changes of base, masterly retreat, aud re
connoiance have succeeded each other
with a rapidity worthy ot the greatest show
man of modern litres. The immense variety
of circumstance is only equalled by the
identity of the results. We have :
Sherman's reconnoissance.
Smith's Tecon no Uauc'e. ,
Thomas' lecounoissance.
Kilpatrick's recounoissaoce.
Custer's recbnnoissatice.
Seymour's reconnoissance.
i 1 1 in ore's CbarlrslonrecorjRoissance.
: The result is every where the lame, ri
diculous aud 'disastrous. The sole cou
cession we can make to -your honesty is
that you have improved upon thechange ot
base in 1862 ; yoa destroy fewer tutdiers
and burn less of the nation's property.
- How is it that after three years ol incom
parable victories, according to Halleck's
facetious expression, "unpreeedeiited in
the military histoty of nations," you ate still
pondering how to .preserve the national
Capitol and your bases of operation ? . .
- Is it a reward for such success, for the
acMevement of snch results, lb yott now
ask the nation to pass a vote of confidence
iand re-elect ypu for another, aud perhaps
another Term ?
Ia your inaugural address you gave a
very striking inspiration of your peculiar
honesty by pledging yourself, in accordance
with the well-known principles toT the par
ty which had elected you, uot to verve anoth
er term ; you said this in a man net WtiVch
none ef yoor supporters then tinderstond
but your words were evidently designed to
bear a double meaning, to that, if .you
should find the sweet 'ot office more 8u
licing than yoa possibly anticipated, you
might change your purpose without seem
ing to violate your promise. Candid people
will see an this a great deal more evidence
of cunning than of honesty.
The whole troth is this i you. are leading
the nation quiedy lo destruction by deceiv
ing the people an to the dangers which
threaten it. la the first part ot the cam
paign of 1862 yoa gained advantages which
yoa were unable lo utilize or even to retain
in 1863. " '
You sacrificed the entire west for the cap
ture of Vickshnrg, and then, yoa proclaim
to the feur winds that the Mississippi is
free, while not a single steamboat can nav
igate it without being attacked or perhaps
burued, and withoot every passenger hav
ing the fear of death or captivity before his
eyes.
To serve the ends of your cause, yoa
have made a hero out of a man upon whom
you have lavished everything, who hau
every obstacle removed from his path, and
who was promptly furnished With reinlorce- '
roents aud supplies, .wh.le Rosencrants j
could get none ; and who has scarcely been'
able to hold, with the immense resonrces at
his command, the groand Which his prde-
ceesor gained in spite ol yoa by his tal

public, ia ihe name and under the plea of;
popular sovereignty.
And to cap the climax, yoo are obliged
to hear definitions like this : Ao uncondi
tional loyal man is one who, although not
satisfied with the measures taken by tbe
government, approves them all and. gives
them his constant support.
I It seems almost incredible. Are we ia
Constantinople, in Si. Petersburg, in Rome
or in Paris ? Are we the decendenls of
those proud Saxons who' refused ,0 suc
cumb to any yoke, or tbe illegitimate off
spring of cardinals seeking lo-secure for
tune aod greatness by a perpetual worship 1
Are we really the descendants of those prin
ciples ot Lather and Calvin, who rather
than subject their reason to an authority
that they despised, preferred to, expatriate
themselves to those shores, where, through
tbe agency of liberty, they founded our na
tional greatness which yoa are now striving
to drown in a sea of cowardice aod adula
tion, corruption and incompetency f Were
our ancestors lo visit the earth, they Urduld
-cVrtaiuly be surprised to see that, eighty
years after tbe revolution which gave life
and liberty to the nation, the Lincoln, ptfty
could find no, other definition of loyalty
than a blind submission to the decrees ol a
government.

lad them 'orVlf to a profitless -death.
And yoa have not displaced more-talent

upon the wrights of a friendly republic ;
he has insolently notified us of a blockade
of the Mexican coast, and thrown the Mon

tJod alone, by-beslewin'g upon the coun

Mr Lincoln's , honesty is pf strange de
scription. It consists in nearly raining the
country and in disregarding its interests in
order to make sore of power for four years
j longer. To our eyes, the man who has de-
prived his country of the service ol some
! of its best citizens, who has been unable
. to make any better use of the Incredible re
sources confided to hira, and who, after ag-
itating so many public questions without
aolving one of them, disregards his own
utter Incapacity, is, of all the citizens of
the United States, the least honest and the
j most dangerous.

be has at his back ! Let us remember tbe
j teachings of history, and the instances of
feigned or real imbecility, all of which have
resulted in despotism. Sixtns V., the half
stupid monk ia his cell, and Napoleon III,
the sottish debauch, belonging to the same
school. The men who have to endure them,
elected tbera as unimportant individuals,
whose election would give lime for reflec
tion and consideration , it will soon be six
teen ) ears that France has . reflected aud
pondered over her lost liberty. Fearing the
unknown, and shrinking from tbe perturba
tions Incidental to change, they have had
despotism and ruin, which ale leading them
inevitably to the most terrible of all the rev
elations that history has hitherto recorded.

Richmond, March 23, 1864.
The heaviest snow norm of two Winters,
it is p'resMmed, did net slight Petersburg
yesterday and last a'ight. The average depth
is about twelve inches, nd some affirm
that it is deeper. To day was - ushered in
with a 'cloudless sky and a merry Tinging ol
sleigh bells, the latter pastime at he tune
of S20 per "hour to those who indulged 'in it.
The Toads ot Northern Virginia, always cot
up by tire hundreds of wagons on the move,
"Will be in a horrible condition for sometime
to come, and give a truce to any intention
of activity on the part of the enemy.' It
seems to tie a settled fact that "Uncondi

with Gen Lee in a pitched battle. It is
needless toaay that the veterans on our si. e
desire to 'Come into immediate contact with

the vocabulary of any party ' there, in
the sence in which we understand and ac

to us. The Peace party mean by that terra
reconstruction of the old Union,' and a re
turn of the seceded States to their 'alle

Erraxrrs or Love. A correspondent says:
Mt is oy duty to ifnpfess upon yoii, Mr.
Editor, the certain fact that one half of our
young people lose their senses when they
lose their beans. One of oar party has a!
ready written Ave letters to his lady-love,
and gees abont groaning and sighing in a
most pitiable 011080. He baa nd appetite
and sleeps ap at the lop of the house, close
to the moon. He cannot stand by one of
the colornns pf the piazza, witheul patting
his arms around its waist, and I caught him
kiarc&&a apple to day, because it had red
cheeks."

When I was a boy 1 lived among the
Green Mountains of YeVmont: in winter
making snow Jorts and 'Sliding down the
steep hills, and in summer and autumn
wandering over the mountains after flowers
or nuts', or catching the beautiful trout from
the brook. Bat my brother in Wiconsin
wrote to me to come to him, -end I went.
Our house was on what was cited 'Baxter's
Frame.' - The prairie was covered with
nowers, ana trje many clear ' lakes around
abounded in fish and wild ducks ; but our
principal food was hoe cake and saltpork.
One ef our neighbors had no meat for some
time, aod getting out of powder they bad no
game ; so one day they sent up their oldest
so i, a boj about ten years old, for a piece
of pork. As he was carrying it homeward
and going through a pise ot woods by 'Sil
ver Lake,' he heard a rustling of the leav a
ir. a thicfcei by the roadside. He stopped and
listened all was still. Again he pushed for
waTcl, again the leaves rustled behind him,
and he thonghi he heard a stealthy step.
Again he stopped; everything was still ex
cept the gentle dash of the wsves upon the
pebby beach, and the rapid beating of bis
own heart.
He dreaded to go forward, and he dared
not stay, for he siw night was approacing,
when the woods always echoed with the
hungry wolf, and the savage bear and the
st-sAftbjr catamoant came out from their
dens. So picking up a club, he again start
ed homeward. Again came- the stealthy
step behind him, nearer and nearer, until he
saw a gaunt (and savage wolf creeping
after him, and r.s he hurried on, still cling
ing to his meat, and the wolf was coming
nearer and nearer, and he might at any
moment spring npon him.
Still the boy though he trembled n every
limb, did not lose his presence of mind He
remembered having heard his father say
that if any oce faced a wild animal, and
rook
rooked it square in the eye, it would eot
i dre to attack hira. He turned around,
faced the hungry wolf, aod commenced
walkinz backwards towards his home, sift a
f6ng mile and a half away. As the woods
grew daiker, the wolf came nearer, show-

many time did the savage animal .make a
spring at the lad, and many times did the
brave boy beat bim off, until at last he
came near the log cabin of his parents,
when the dissppointed wolf, with a long
and wailing howl, dashed away into the
woods. Trembling with excitement and
wet with preipiralion, the boy dropped the
meat upon the floor, trying, 'Mother, I've

How fotfd children are of disguising therxr

There are men who cannot fire agua with
