THE BRAVE AT UOXE.
The maid who binds her warrior's sash.
With smile that well her pain dissembles,
The while beneath her drooping la-h
One Marry tear-drop hangs and trembles.
Though Heaven alone records the tear,
And fame shall never know her s:ory,
Her heart has shed a drop as dear
As ever dewed the field of glory.
Tbe wife who girds her husband's sword,
'Mid little ones who weep or wonder,
And bravely speaks the cheering word,
What though her heart be rent assunder
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The ryahs of war aronnd him rattle,
Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the plain of battle !
The mother who conceals her grief,'
While to her breast her aon she presses,
Then breathes a tew brave words and brief,
Kissing the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God,
To know the psin that weighs opon her,
Sheds hnly 1ood as e'er the add
Ree-ived on Freedom's field of honor !
Katimal Bankruptcy.
The t rat n is al Iat beginning to creep
out. The newspaper felicitations about the
plethora of mon3', and the general pros
perity in lhe-e good Lincoln times, are be
ing shown up, and'the startling estimate ol
Mr. Secretary Chase addressed to Congress
jost belor his expulsion Iro.n office, reveals
the extent of our ruin. Let every eaan look
carefully at thee figures, and remember
that they are official! Let him recollect
that they were made to Congress; because,
as ihe Secretary says, feel myself con
strained to do so " VVe gtVe these fignres,
which reveal the startling fact that our ex
penditure are twice as much a our income
aud that both are counted by millions. Fig
ores, it ia said, won't lie; and while we
"distrust any ar.d every thing coming from
this most incompetent and imbecil Gov
ernment, we believe that if they err here,
the error is that the truth is not fully told.
Mr. Chase sets down the revenue of the
Government derived from all sources as
8318,000 000. That is the fond which is
wrung from us by taxes direct and indirect,
by the stamp act, that revival in our day.
ol English despotism ; by the income tax,
which demands no eight per cent, of our
earnings ; by the tax upon industrial and
manufacturing arts, which doable the price
of everything we eat, drink, or wear. Three
hundred and eighteen millions wrung from
the country by the most nnjubt and unequal
system of taxation ever devised, is all we
have with which to pay our expenses. It is
an enormous sum ! But :t only represents
about one-third of what the people pay :
for one-third of what is collected goes to
the Revenue Collectors is swallowed up
by office holders, or is stolen from the Trea
sury by the thieves who inlest that Depart
ment. How much of our expenditure does
this revenue pay ? Listen to Mr. Chase :
"The expenditure of the year cannot be
stated with even toletabls accuracy ; but
there is nothing in oar experience that will
justify the setting of it at lets than 8760,
000,000. It is more likely to reach $300,
000,000, or $$30,000,000. Take the mean
sum and deduct that S3 1 8.000.000 of ex
pected revenue, and the difference is 3482 -000,000."
What does that mean t A de
ficit of four hundred, and eighty-two mil
lion in one short year. Utter, entire ruin
complete and hopeless bankruptcy. Is it
wonderful Chase resigned, and left the mod
ern Babylon and the delights of his own
Seraglio in Ihe; Treasury Department? Now
these are not Democratic figorea. The De
mocracy have oothiflg to do with tbe debt
or the statement, except to be mined with
their fellow citizens by tbe awful state of
affairs of which it tells. This is the official
language of Mr. Lincoln's financier. It
most be remembered that this is the story
of bat, one yeaf year yet to come. -Think,
fellow-citizens, of the past three,
and mourn for your country beridden by
baffoonS, robbed by knaves, and drenched
in blood by fanatics. Bewail your own
fates stripped of your bard earnings, im
poverished by present taxes, and over har
dened with a debt which four generations
cat) not pay., A deficit in one year of four
hutidred and etghty-wi millions ia an
nounced as inevitable. It needs no com
ment. With every necessary of life taxed
t HI it will bear no more, we .are unable to
meet our expeosea even half way.
What have we gained for ibis ruin i " Let
a dissevered and beligerant country tell the
tale. Ask of the bones of our bravest and
bM bleaching from Gettysburg to the Gulf
of Mexico. Ask of the weeping mothers
and wives the half staffing widow and
children, whose scanty income will not pro
vide the necessaries of life With what
success has this vast expenditure of life
and money been made ? Yotr may hea

The" JVicons which uotoriously has deem
Vd the nomination of Mr. Lincoln one not
fit to be made, now that his nomination Is
an accomplished lact, is driven by party
discipline to the unwelcome task of extol
ling the personal merits of the man whom
it despises, arid of laboring, in his interest,
to disprove concerning him what it knows
' to be the truih. It is contended to meet
the charge that be is a buffoon, by proving
i that he ia not "an ape, a hyena, and a jack
; ass," as he ia called by the ribald rebel
j press of Richmond. It is satisfied to parry
just estimate ol his personal character and
deportment by arguing that no such man
could have been elected President.. The
American people are like him in the stocks
whose friends said, "you cannot tor that of
fense be put in the stocks." "But I am in
the stocks," was the 'reply. We have got
a buffoon for. a President, and that is the
answer to the argument that "in a democ
racy based on popular suffrages" a buffoon
cannot be elected President. Argument
about our institutions is shut off. Mr. Lin
wln i President. Aud we leave the IVi
btme to defend American iiistitntions lor
having permitted ihe election of Presidents
inculpated by itself for much worse crimes
than being buffoons.
That Mr. Lincoln, by bis own unaided
energies, has worked his way up from ob
scurity and pennilessness to the highest s'a
tion in the land, proves ihe possession of
abilities which we have never denied to
him. That he is a buffaon to-day, as h9 has
always been is what we assert, and what
the Tribune has not squarely disproved nor
squarely denied.
It is exceedingly painful to ns to osesuch
plainness of speech concerning one who is
the chief magistrate' of this people. It
would be indecorous if he were not, as he
is, a chief magistrate . seeking re-election
br all means ; striving by abuses of mili
tary power, by the subversion of freedom
of ballot, of the press and of political dis
cussion, by the corrupting power of pub
lic plunder, by tbe distribution of offices
and spoils, by cunning and by intrigue, to
grasp for another term the powers with
which in three short years he has almost
accomplished the independence -of the
South, and the subversion of the liberty of
the North.
If to prove publicly, therefore, now, in
this crisis of our politic and ot 'he nation's
fortunes, that Mr. Lincoln is a buffoon, i ,
a person whi makes spon by low jests,"
wiil prevent any number of v tes. no mat
ter how few,from being cast for his re e'ec
tion, then that proof is a public duty ; and
mere qoestions of decorum must stand
aside as trivial and untimely
And now for the proof that Mr. Lincoln
is a buffoon, we appeal to every man of
good 'sense and intelligence whom public
or private duties have taken to the White
Hoose frequently during the last three years
VVe appeal to all ihe gentlemen on the
Republican side of the United States Sen
ate. - '
We appeal to the one hundred and fifty
clergymen who went'in a body to the East
Room, in order to present to Mr. Lincoln
tbe revolutions of one of tbe largest and
most respectable religious denominations.
We appeal to the eminent divine who
was deputed to make their address, and
who has pobliclylfid repeatedly pronounc
ed the President's deportment of a "buf
foon and a eawk so sickening in its offan
siveuess, and so humiliating to his patriot
ic pride, as to have mad him quite despair
of the fortunes of a republic whose helm ia
in such bands.
We appeal to the gentlemen on tbe Re
publican side of the House of Representa
tives. Let the Tribune ask them what is
the fact.
We appeal to the blackguards there for
such there are on that floor, though few
whose staple of ialk in theirmidnight orgies
is the low and obscene stories daily retail
ed to them in the chamber of the chief
magistrate.
We appeal to the gentlemen who feted
Mr. Lincoln here, and escorted him to the
clubs, when .he last visited New York.
We appeal to tbe eminent Republican
who left the room where the future Presi
dent was recounting some experiences of
his early life rather than that his ears sho'd
be defiled with tbe echoes of such filthy
ness. .
We appeal to the staff officers who gal
loped behind the President when he visited
the battle-field of Antietarn, and who in
creased their distance Ironi him rather than
listen longer tr? the lew nigger song o
"Picayune Butler," which Mr. Lincoln call
ed on Marshal Laraon to sing as he rode
among tbe fresh graves and trenches where
were baried the tea thousand dead soldiers
ot the Republic !
When the testimony of all ihese gentle
roec is in, we will bear tbe Tribune defend
the Republican party for electing a buffoon
to the presidency, and may have something
farther to say concerning American institu
tions which have permitted the Republican
party to elect a buffoon and rain a natidn.

Law and Kanneri on the Road.
All of os have ideas more or Isps correct,
in regard to the law whiea 'regulates our
use ot ihe highways ; and, at any rate, good
sense and good nature are usually very sate
guides. A few words on the subject, how-
aver, may hot be amiss
It is commonly said thai every one has a
right to Half the road. This is practically
true, and comes about in this wise : You
and I meet upon the road oor legal rights ;
are exactly eqtial, and both have a right to
our own several ways without obstruction,
so, popularly, we say I own half and you
half. The taw steps in to facilitate matters,
and directs each to turn towards his right
hand. The road should be "worked" wide
enough for two teams abreast, then each !
man has a clear title'to a passage on his ;
right hand side of the way ; and no one .
has a right to obstruct another while on his '
own proper track. This is true whatever ,
ihn load or tbe team : for if one can drive :
such a team that another can pass him bot :
with difficulty or not at all, then their rights .
I are no lopger equal. This point becomes
I very important in winter, for it is no joke to
i turn your horse and all into the deep snow
while your neighbor goes smoothly along
in tbe beaten path. No one has a rigbj so
to load his team as not to be able to give
up hall the track to whoever demands it.
A footman may choo3 the part which
pleases him or any portion of his right hand i
half the way and the team must yield it to 4
him. This is clearly to in winter, and no
man is obliged to step into the snow, for one
or two horses. This is tbe law, and' the
Court award it.
Now for the manners of the road, which,
in some instances, vary from the law there-
! of.
The first requirement of road manners is
goodnatore and an accommodating spirit.
Do to others as you would have them do p
yoti. Always be willing to yield more than
I half the space, then yoti will be pretty sore
to be equally" well treated. They who'ex-
1 act inches will have inches exacted of them.
if vour neighbor has a heavy load, consult
; his convenience a far as possible ; you
; may sometime be loaded. It ha become a
' practical rule of courtesy to torn out for
' wood and logs, and for other heavy teams
! in winter for they say, "'we often cannot
turn out and never safely, so, if yoc want
wood, accommodate us ;" which we are
very willing to do. Bur remember it was
a favor not your right, and you have a re
ciprocal duty to perform, one which, I am
sorry to observe is not always born in
mind When you have unloaded and are
rettirnius empty, just recollect that yon had
the whole road in the morning, and it is no
more than fair thai yoa should be particu
larly obliging to those whom yoa meet now
and give them their fall share of the path.
One word in relation to teams going the
same way '; in which case many seem to
think there is neither law nor manners.
When a team comes up behind you, which
desires to proceed faster than you do. the
team has a right to a reasonable space and
opportunity to pass in in fact to half the
road for that purpose and your obstructing
him in bis lawiul desire is both bad man !
nrs and bad law. If your load is heavy,
do ihe best yoa can. In most cases ihe
very least that can be asked is that yoti stop.
This is particularly so in winter, when it is
a heavy tax on a team to force it into a
trot in deep snow made necessary by your
continuing at a walk. My remark above
in relation to the emptied wood sled ap
plies were, and if one wishes to pass yoa,
remember that while loaded yoa had the
whole road.
One remark more, to and for the ladies.
First, to them. If oat walking keep in the
path never step' into the snefw or mud for j
any ordinary team. If yoa meet the team,
step into your Ttgb: hand track or part of j
the road and all goes on easily. If the team
comes op behind, step into your left hand j
track ; then, as sleighs are built, the hotse
i in the other track, a before. Whereas. .
if you continue in your right hand track ihe j
horse or the team most travel wholly in the
deep snow in order to pass yoa . and the
driver will be tempted to scold bi wife as
proxy for the female sex generally.
I have to say lor the ladies always tarn j
out for them. They are entitled to the right
band half, and will yon run over them be
cause, in their confusion at meeting one of
the "l ords of creation," they happen to take
their half oot ol the wrong side ?

DISQRSCKrCL SCKNCS IN THC SENATE WHAT
TVfO OR THREC DRUNKARDS CAN DO.
Saturday night's 'session of the Senst
was both ridiculous and disgraceful," and
the personal force and . vigorous leadership
of Mr. Fessenden were sensibly missed.
The conduct of the opposition members
was generally dignified. Early in the
evening Mr. Chandler made a coarse and
brutal assault upon the presiding officer, in
which be was sustained by Mr. Wilkinson.
Neither waa "sober.
After a pointed rebuke by the Senate they
left the chamber for two hours Later in
the evening Mr. Wilkinson retired to the
cloak room, but was aroused and got in to
participate in the final effort to stave off
ac'ion 3n tbe income tax bill. The resolu
tion filing ihe day . ot adjournment was
taken up at eleven o'clock, and four hours
were epent with remarkable success in
doing nothing. It was not ontil three
o'clock SundaV morning that an adjourn
ment was finally effected.
DIFGHACBXUL.
The New Bedford Mercury says ;
"This special telegraphic correspondent
of the Boston Advertiter, in giving an ac
count of the turbulent scenes in ihe Senate.
Sat urd ay night and Sunday morning, when
the war income lax as under considera- ;
tion, says : 'Mr Chandler objected, because j
he could object, and because he was drunk.' j
And again; 'Early in the evening Chan- 1
dler made a coarse and brntal assault opon '
the presiding officer, in which he was sos-
tained by Wilkinson. Neither was sober.'
We make no doubi of the exact truth of
these statements. Our readers have heard
of such things before ; and some like our.
selves, have been witnesses of these dis
graceful, drunken exhibition in the U. S.
Senate But we sincerely hope the people
have not grown so callous as to be insen
sible to the disgrace and mischief of such1
conduct, or to pass it over in silence. Not
one word'ean be said in apology or extenn
ation. When men, the representatives of
States, men prefessing great regard for the
honor of the Government, a full apprecia
tion ot the struggle in which it ia engaged,
and solicitude for its success, appear in the
Senate chamber, where objects of the gra
vest importance, and vitally affecting the
poblic weal demand cool, cairn, deliberate
judgement and action, dmrtk, and by their
maudlin ravings obr-truct or mar legislation,
they are to be held up to be transfixed by
public scorn, il there be no other punish-
mem. With the conduct of Senators al
their hotels, we have nothing to do; w
leave them to the exercise of their tate and
discretion! filling out. their win-cards.
But if they appear in the Sena'e chamber
(irnnk, then no man or press can refrain
from denouncing their conduct 'without
sharing the disgrace it not the crim."
An Immediate Peace.
Our contemporary, the Commet eiil, yester
day propounded to us the following pos
er :
"This, we pereive, is the cry of the
Democratic press belonging to the copper
head variety, which description embraces
our local organ. We would be glad to be
informed jun how an "immediate peace"
can be cbtained. If ws tan see it, we
most certainly shall be for it, as an incalcu
lable blessing."
Not being in power, it is not the business
of the Democracy to propose plans for
peace or war; because the party in posses
sion of the Government seem determined
to prolong hostilities, and not bring them to
a termination. Give oa power and we will
soon make blood-letting cease at least we
would exhaust every effort for its attain
ment. The means we woald use are sim
ple, but they woul Jbe effective. But the
present Administration and its party require
uo peace. Have they, since hostilities be- ;
gsn. done one single act calculated to )
secure peace ? Have not all tbeir acts, I
proclamations and speeches, aimed at the!
subjugation of the Southern people, instead
of crushing the leading rebels ;and has the
Administration, in one single instance, in
timated a desire for peace, except opon
such term as the Southern people could
not, and are not expected to accept ? It
they woald free their negroes, as Mr. Lin
coin proclaimed, they might return to the
Union ; bnt that mountebank knew that
each a degrading proposition would only
make the rebels more oni'.ed. The mere
fact of the Administration refusing to let
Alexander Stevens, Vice President of the
Southern rebel Confederacy, deliver his
message, and it lying afterwards, regard
ing the nature of bis intended interview,
was and is proof sufficient to show that its
policy has been to prolong hostilities and
not bring abOat an immediate, or any other
sort of speedy peace. We believe that we
conld name half a dozen ot men, North and
South, who, if permitted, could secure a
satisfactory peace in twenty four hoars. We
do not mean that their labors wonld be ac
ceptable to the leader as extreme ssces
sioniem ; but they wonld be to nine-tenths
of the people of the entire country. But as
long at the two extremes, which predated
this conflict, are in power, it is not likely
that peace will enter into tbeir deliberation
Toe first step towards attaining peaee is the

MUSLIN-
There has been considerable joking upon
the words ' raising of musliu," but it has
now got so high that words are about play
ed out and people who don't want to wnite
wah and go naked, will be compelled to
raise something elie. Unbleached muslins
are selling at 75 cents in New York. During
the latter part of last week there was a
grand rcsb attthe stores for cotton goods, in
tbe fear that there might be still more ex
travagant advances. It will oot be long
till it will take a poor man two days work
to get a piece of muslin. By this time the
brains of tbe people should begin to act.
The? were paralyzed for a while, bat time
enough has elapsed for the thinking sub
stance to recover. I ndar the old Demo
cratic rule everything was cheap and times
were prosperous. War is the cause of bard
times and high prices. Stop the war, blot
out the debt, and in two years' Democracy
can bring back prosperity. If yoa want
shirts, vote the Democratic ticket, ti yoa
don't vote right, yoa will show you are a
shiftless fellov , and your wife will hi pretty
much in the tame fit.

We do net onite with most of oor cotem?

our monetary distress on the shoulders of -Mr.
Chste. To bis blunders, indeed, may
be ascribed the financial difficulties, in
which the administration of the Treasury ia
involved, bnt he was driven often into the
adoption of hasty and unwise expedients to -procure
funds in order to meet the extrava
gant and importunate" demands of ihe two
war secretaries.
' These gentlemen have shown themselves
te be the type f two youngsters reared - in
poverty and suddenly elevated to the pos
session of immense fortune. Experience
proves that the result of such a transition is,
that the new heir suddenly plunkO into
very variety of magnificent extravagant
and vicious indulgence, overreaching an
nually the amount of their income, till bank
ruptcy overtake them.
So it bee been with Messrs. Stanton and
Welles. Mr. Chase was but the steward jo
apply tbe spendthrifts with the means, re
quired by their exorbitant expenditures.
To effect this ptject he exerted every
scheme his ingenuity could devise lo raise
the funds daily required by tbeir importu
nate demands. We doubt whether ihe Sec
retary of the Treasury had be possessed
greater financial'wisdom than he possess

reqeisitions of his colleagues, and, saved n

Secretaries did not bring into their calcula

the money was squandered, nor its equita

with a navy six times as.large as we would

having but three ships and now but one

ses of the building lunacy of Mr. Welles.
It i time for him to reform and restrain
his outla)s within the bounds of prudence.
The Treasury cari no looger meet hie de
mands. It has stretched its credit to tbe
very point of explosion : and we fear it
will explode.in spite of the skill of the new

We have a foreshadowing of tbe calas
trophe in the misfortune that has betalleo
New York. That Slate bas refused to pay
her foreign creditors their just does in coin.
This evidently is a swindle, or in polite
terms repudiation. The Governor in order;
to save he credit cf the State, proposed
that.the amount of interest on the State
debt dae in foreign countries should be
raised by private subscription, the subscri
ber to depend for repayment on the equit
able, action of the Legislature at its next
session. This scheme failed.and New Yor k
refuses to meet her jnst obligations,
New York, the richest State in the Union
enjoying ample means, and not cumbered
with a debt with an interest beyond ber
ability to pay, tbas boldly perpetrates re
pudiation, what must we anticipate from
the Federal Treasury which must necessar
ily sopply the reckless extravagances, so
glaring both in the array and navy? It
has come to its last dollar anJ its credit is
exhausted. It maycontinue its printing
operations ; but ttti device, while it fam
ishes but little aid to the government, will
but add to the weight which is crushing the
people into destitution. The secretaries
seem powerless or onwiying to restrain the
extravagances or thefts of thither subordi
nate , and we have but one hope of safety
from repudiauon.'aod that is in the cessa

Mr. Gu'stave Aimard has written a book

"With the exception of the minor gradea

to' see in a wine shop a fat monk, with a red
face and a cigarette Ja-his month, merrily
playing the vihnela; at dance accompani

carry their kuifo in ttreir sleeve, and, in a
quarrel, which is a frequent thing in Chili,
use it as well, and with as little remorse, aa

such are the priests, who form a foarth of
