, Tcesday evening's papers confirm the
"report that Richmond and Petersburg have
fallen.- t It ought to bring peace toon.
Tri Abolition preia keep elrtremely qoiet
ever the disgraceful scene enacted by Avdy
Johvsok on ike day of his inauguration as
-Yca President of these cfu-United States.
"Msjit" is the word with thene Abolition
harpies '' who landed this distinguished gen
tie man so highly while en the stamp last
fall making their political speeches. What
have tbey to say now-in his favor? The
American people elected a man to the Vice
Presidency who old Parson Brownlow once
-charged aa being a drwikard, Ibir and a thief.
-At present, we opine, there are plenty of
' prool to substantiate the first charge, if not
'.the-two latter.' We should not advert to
thia matter was it rot that we wish to give
-enr, politioal enemies to oadersland that we
-seek to take no advantage of a man's prl
vate record, tat whec it is made poblio by
hit own act v consider it the property of
-every member of the press who chooses to
'track it.- But the whol affair is too serious
for newspaper comment, and Ihe lighter it
is treated the better for the dignity and hon
i of the American people, if they are not
,)ost to those essentials. Did this grent man,
aa he one was called by (he dominant par
ty, happen to be a Vice President elect by
Ihe Democracy, (he country would never
have .heard the last of ihia burning shsme
fastened upon oor'once honored and happy
nation. ' -
'. ..DcBtkO the last Presidential .! campaign
, the .Abolition managers in . Philadelphia
.posted hand-bill in: every portion of the
.city, which read somewhat in this wise:
r',If McCieUaii and Pendleton are elected,
-.and McClellan should die and Pendleton
be made President, what would become of
thej country 1", No -doubt this inquiry is
;fmiliar to most of our reader, aa the pla
ierd in question was conspicuously exhib
ited in every portion of the city. The nom
,ueeof the- Democracy were defeated, and
Lincoln and Johnson were chosen. In view
.of, the Ute disgraceful inauguration scene
.at Washington, io which Andrew Johnson
twaa -p prominent an actor, the question
has been pertinently -asked : "Now that
.Lincoln and Johnson -or elected, if John
eonv snoald' become President, what would
- 'become" of the country The question
propounded by the Abolition managers last
- sum mer, before the election, was regarded as
aVvVry shallow election dodge, and caused
a smile td pass over the features of all who
a the ubiquitous placard. - The question
w asked by the whole nation, after the
election, ioa solemn, serious inquiry, and
caches true American heart to 'throb with
painful apprehensions. Is not ilia a prac
tical illustration of the old ' adage, that
"curses, like chickens always come home
"to roost 1 ' ' '
U.S. 7-30 Loak. While this load pre
seots great advantages to large capitalists,
.it offers special inducements to those who

tion of this kind must somehow; tin vest its

R. C. FRUIT, Cle,k.
, Commissioners office, )
Bloomsborg, April fith, 1865. J
The quota for Bloom township is thirty
six. - This is quite a deduction from that of
ninety eight. The Committee sent to Wash
iogton should receive a fair proportion of
credit for this deduction. It shows that the
trip was not altogether fruitless, as many
supposed it would be. The next thing now
to be done is to fill the qnota, some way or
other. There have a sufficient ntfmber of
men left this township and gave their cred
its abroad since a law was enacted compell
ing all who enter the service to credit to the
place of their residence, to more than, fill
our quota. , The township should, in our
opinion, bold these met.; whether it can or
will be allowed Ihe credit, we are unable to
determine. If the township does not re
ceive the credit an effort should be made to
fill the quota'by volunteering. Lay the lax
at once for $400 ; give the same to the man
whft pots in a substitute aa well as to the
man who ia drafted ; that be may use it at
bis own pleasure, take it and enter the ser
vice or add a sufficient amount to it and
proenre a substitute; and by this means
yoo may stop the draft and greatly assist
the poor man, ooon whom an undue pro
portion of this war burden has already fall,
en. In the years 1861 and 1862 nothing
but taxes would answer; that was just the
thing with our Republican friends. Where
are tbey to day 1 They were then ready to
bang every person who would not think
and act aa the) 'did. They were willing
to vo:e our County Commissioners leather
medtils because they (the officials chose
not to levy a tax opon the county for rolon
teericg purpsoas, when they had no tegol
tight to do so. Men were mobbed in this
town for talking against taxation, by men
too who to-day would cry yoa down for fa
voring the cause. .
We were always in favor of paying a
bounty to volunteers, no matter how it was
raised. We are and always have been op
posed to the war, from first to last; and if
we bad it to do, we should -not furnish the
Government with another man, but demand
that the war be discontinued upon some
other plan than fighting. But since we have
draft after draft upon us, and men will be
furnished to fill quotas, we say tax these
stay-at-home patriots and make them pay
the fiddler. They cried tax, now by all
means let them have it.
-A Company formed onder Cap). Jours,
Lieu la. Yosdy and Stkbner, of this place,
left Camp Curtin, on Friday last, fully equip
ped, looking first-rate, for Roanoke Island,
North Carolina. This is the second compa
ny, of Columbia county troops, which has
entered the one year's service since the
late call for three hundred thousand more
men. The first Company was taken out by
Capt. PaiLtl- This cnunty has pot' in the
svvice a tolerably large number of men,
notwithstanding the copperhead proclivities
so much talked of by our Republican neigh
bors as being so prevalent in this communi
ty, and especially in the upper-townships.
Our political enemies are loath to enter the
service, but insist on every person who does
not think, talk and believe as they do, to
engage in this unnatural strife. When we
consider the matter in its proper light there
is oo room to doubt the-' propriety of these
republican in not'going into the army; they
simply are encouraging and conducting a
war which is wrong in every particular,
without the. shadow of a just cause, and
which has for its object if il has anything,
the abolition of the institution of slavery. -This
war is an attack upon that southern
institution, and the Abolition party wbich
brought about this trouble feel the weight of
their guilt so sensibly that tbey refrain from
doing anything like entering the service,
only when tbey cannot avoid the draft.
Facts. We find the following floating
around If, before the war, it bad been
certain that all wbo might tavor the war,
would have been compelled to shoulder the
musket, there wonld bate been no war
If now, all wbo are in favor of a ' vigor
ous prosecution of the war," were to be
compelled to join in the ranks, the war
wonld came to a speedy end.
