Fights and riots take place every few
day at Norfolk, Virginia, between the Uni
ted Stales soldiers, stationed there and the
negroes. A nomber on both siJes have been
killed, and still more seriously injured the
greater number of victims being the blacks.
These disorders are to be deplored, and
should be checked if possible. Mob law is
brutish, and every gcod man should set his
face sternly against it. Bat, are the soldiers
who engage in these Norfolk riots, alone re
sponsible 1 Have they not beec educated
into the belief that law is to be disregarded
with impunity, when it fail to agree with
their political or any other opinions 1 Have

These outrages, in all sections of the coun
try, would not have taken place bad it not
been that Jacobin Generals, Captains, Lieu
tenants, and vagabond Chaplains planned
them and urged the private soldier to com
mit tbem.
But, now that the soldiers have turned
against the uegro now that the black man
of Norfolk is abused, coffed. kicked and even
murdered by Union soldiers Jacobin edit
ors and "loyal thieves," all over the coun
try, are bitter in their denunciations of the
soldier, and wonder why such outrages are
..I i i w . l . tt
loter&ieu, ami wuj 11 is iusi union troops
, are so hostile to (he "pet lambs." We can
tell them. It is the attempt of the Jacobin
leaders to force the white soldier to recog
nize the negro as his equal. So persistent
bave been the efforts of the Jacobins in this
direction, that the eoldier-J have become
exasperated, and to show their resentment,
they assail every black man tbey run against
They bave been instructed, we repeat, to
put law at defiance, and to enforce their
own opinions by brute force. Li ale did
their officers suppose when they coromeoc
- ed to teach their soldiers to scoff at law and
order, that the negroes would be made to
suffer under this mode of redressing sup
- posed wrongs. So long as Abolition soldiers
practiced their outrages upon Democrats,
their cowardly Jacobin officers could look on
complacently and approvingly ; but now
that sambo is made to suffer at the hands ol
tbe soldier, these same officers turn up the
dirty whites of their blood shot eyes, and
express astonishment and regret at the con
duct of the soldiers. These officers are
more to blame than the soldiers, and, if we
are not much mistaken, they too will share
toe same treatment mat is now oestowea
nrirtn thm Nnrfnlt hlarkn. Tha nl!Irn trill
r -
not agree lo negro equality ; they trill not
even admit that the ignorant blacks ahall
have the right to vote down white men.
Tbe leading Jacobin-Republicans may in
sist that tbe late war was waged for the sole
purpose of liberating four millions of slaves,
but the soldiers who faced the armed ene
my in the field, declare that they fought for
ius union tuu noi lor ma negro ; inu luej
feel degraded and insulted when they are
.asked to regard the negro as their equal
Hence these frequent difficulties and riot
at Norfolk. They are disgraceful but let the
blame rest where it belongs upon the
shoulders of the infernal demagogues who
ere constantly clamoring for negro equality,
and who are attempting to force white troops
to look upon tbe black man as their equal.
- Ford's Thcatrc, Washington city, was to
bave been opened on Monday night, but in
toe evening Stanton sent a file of soldiers,
who closed it op. No reason was assigned
Mr. Ford had, however, received during the
day an anonymous letter advising him to
close aphis theatre ; to take fifty thousand
dollars for the building aud erect another in
some other part of tbe city, where he would
be liberally patronized by the public In
bis previous dickering with the "Christian
-Association," Ford had asked one hundred
thousand, which (he Commission would or
could not pay. The matter looks now as if
Stanton and the Commission had combined
to compel Ford to sell not at a reduced fig
ire to Ibis Commission of long-faced politi
cal hypocrites, who ardently desire to have
the building for an Abolition Museum, or
money-making "shebang" of some kind
Stanton could have notified Ford weeks ago
not to engage a company and go to the ex
pense of fitting up, but that did not suit bis
purpose, it seems. Small acl and small
man. -
The question to be decided at the coming
election cannot welt be disguised. It will
be, shall the negro have the right to
vole? We can plainly see the leading Ab
olitionists throughout the Stale urging this
question before the people. We say let it
come ; tne pecpie are ready to meet it.
No better time could be had for its dispo
sal. The idea of a negro, as black as tar
and a3 ignorant as a mule, stepping up to
the pot's by the side of a whi:e man and
depositing iiis baUot, probably for a'maa ol
his own color an J intellect, is preposterous
in th-3 extreme. It is absurd ; and a man
est be an arrant (ool and fanatic who
wouSJ advocate the light ol negro voting.

The Military "Coon" which has been sit
ting on the parties said to have been impli
cated in the aKsaisination of Mr. Lincoln,
has executed its "commission." Organized,
as a high officer cf the Department cf the
Navy has declared such bodies to be, for
the purpose of conviction," "ihe Military
Commission'' Las terminated its lawless vi
olence in the blood of four American citi
zens !
The Military Commission we have de
clared on authority of law to bave been a
usurpation of tbe fonclions of Ihe judiciary.
The malice which the law alleges, as a
general principle in that case, we bave
shown to have declared itself in the course
of tbe proceedings under an undoubted ev
idence of fact. Tbe violent attack of tbe
Bench upon one of the counsel for the ac
cused, we repeat, showed malice. The
hapinp of leading interrogatives by the
Court in a manner calculated lo obtain a
specific answer, showed malice. The brow
beating of the witnesses and the counsel
for the defense, we repeat, showed malice.
The disappearance, previous to recall for
cross-examination, of many of the leading
witnesses, showed malice. The extraordi
nary coceurrence of tbe voluminous perjury
of the witnesses points, we re-affirm, to a
unity of suggestion, demonstrative of mal
ice. The execution of the sentence almost
immediately after its approval, in anticipa
tion of public remonstrance, and in con
tempt of the order of tbe judge charged
with jurisdiction in the case, is ircontesti
ble testimony in support of the presump
tion of law that tbe taking of life which
has jam been perpetrated at Washington,
was characterized, in fact, by (he malice
which makes the taking of life murder !
But forms, some men will say, in the sto
lidity of their souls, are of very little im
portance in cases that do not involve sub
stantial injustice ! Tbe gross stupidity of
those who meet tbe crime involved in the
death of Mrs. Snrratt and ber associates
with expressions of indifference for the
firms of law is precisely the stuff on which
power fattens into tbe grossness of despot
ism ! Outside Jorms freedom can find no
dwelling place in (he habitations of meu !
Technicalities, rules of law, bills of right,
declarations of independence, constitutional
limitations of power, are themselves not
merely tbe tenement but the very body !
Indifferent to forms! Forms are rights;
forms are privileges ; forms sre fieedom I
Mrs. Sarratt, people will say, was inno
cent. We care very little for Mrs. Surra tt ;
we care very little whether she was guilty
or innocent ; we ignore all knowledge, one
way or tbe other, presented in the chaos of
troth and perjury which we bave seen, in
the form of testimony, taken before the
usurpation which overthrew, in the Ci:y of
Washington, both the law and the judiciary.
A committee execoting the bloody code of
Judge Lynch, having seized a party of our
fellow citizens, good or evil as tbey may
have been, and having, after a pretext of
trial, executed upon tbem the penally of
death, must not dare presume to plead to
as reports of its infamous proceedings, in
extenuation of a crime that, placed under
the ban of both God and- man, knows no
other name, in either morals or law, than
murder!
Whether Mrs. Surratt was, or was not
guilty, we repeat we neither know nor care
to know. Whether Atzerot, Payne, Herold,
were, or were not co-conspirators with
Booth, we are not aware, nor at this mo
ment are we disposed to inquire. How can
we presume to know ? In solemn doty to
our trust as an sgenl or "the eternal vigi
lance" which has been well said to be ' the
price of liberty," we are bound lo reject
with scorn all the accounts of the proceed
ings, of the violent men who bad the inso
lence to subject Mrs. Surratt and ber com
paoions to a mockery of trial. Tbe inno
cence or the guilt of that woman and her
associates has never been put in evidence
unless we are to suppose lynch law to be
entitled to the reverence due the civil law ;
and, therefore, in determined adherence to
the sacred forme that enshrine liberty, we
shall bold Mrs. Surratt and all ber fellow
victims, so long as they stand so under a
a beneficent presumption of constilntional
justice, entitled still to tbe supposition ol
their innocence t
Lynch law can, we repeat, mike no one
guilty. To accept its proceedings in justifi
cation of its murders is substantially to com
pound with felony ! Innocent in the eye of
tbe law, though all the convicted and uncon
victed persons who were yesterday put to a
violent death in Washington are, we bold
their acts and their persons alike indiffer
ent in dealing with the great crime of the
men who eland responsible lor the taking of
their lives.
A solemn duty is devolved upon as by
tbe crime which has just been committed
at Washington. As a journalist we have
never ehronk from our duty ; and, with a
full knowledge of the danger confronting us
in the lawless violence which we deal with
here, we shall not shrink from that doty
bow. In tbe oarae of liberty, in the name
of law, in the name of the sanctity of hu
man life, we, in unshrinking devoiton to the
truth of our convictions, declare the execu
tion of Mrs. Surratt and her companions to
have blackened the soul of every member
of tbe Military Commission by which it bad
been ordered, witn tbe crime ol murder.
The outrage has been committed, and
cannot be undone. Bat a great crime re
mains, notwithstanding, to be expiated.
Four American cilizena bave been murder
ed in open day under the shadow of the
Capitol, panoplied in all tbe sacred right
of their citizenship'! The selfishness which
says thai lawless violence cannot reach ibis
individual, or that, or the other, is a sug
gestion of the soul of a slave. We spit
opon it. No man's safety is worth the lease
of an boor if bloody lawlessness be allowed
in a single instance to work its will against
individual right. Despotism does not hang
millions ; having mardered but a few it
does work among the masses by terrors.
And its isolated outrages take place, mark
yon, at the very breastworks of liberty.
Tbe battle of f reed c en, we most, therefore,
ajstrae to hive bee.it began, and we owe if,
if not to the present day and generation,
certainly to the future, to fight it out' now.
Assemble then, fellow citizens, who love
the law, wbo know its forms to be the body
of liberty, who hold your own rights bouod
up indissolubly in the right of every indi
vidual citizen, and make the crime that
cries to heaven from the gibbets of yester
day a memorable example to usurpation! or
everraor.
Assemble, we say, organize, subscribe,
and resolve before the manes of your fathers
of tbe days of the revolution, that, in the
name ol God and Liberty, you will prose
cute David Hunter, Joseph Holt, John A.
Bingham, and all their associates in the
violence that has dared to overthrow Justice
in the Federal City for the crime of murder.
Organize, we repeat, to bring those auda
cious criminals to trial, not in imitation of
their violence, but to make example all the
more grand, under all the forms of faw, and
all the freedom of the public tha. sits to-day
weeping, like a Niobe, at the feet of the
gibbets on which she has been so barbar
ously outraged. And resolve, you men of
devotion lo law, without any passion un
worthy men establishing a great precedent
for the safety of their institutions, that yon
will, it the law of tbe land shall declare
those men guilty, nse every honorable'
means to sastain tbe Executive in a deter
mination to teach, in history, tbe lesson
that cannot be conveyed otherwise, with
such good to mankind, as by tbe execution
of tbe sentence on those tools of lawless
power, even onto death ! N. Y. Daily News

Sucdkn Dcatii. We are again called up
on to record the very sodden demise of one
of ibe most respectable citizens of Briar
creek township, this county, in the person
of Henry Lamon. Mr. Lam on was engage-J
in harvesting (or hiSgbro'ber William, on
Friday last.. He was well as usual when he
returned home in the evening, but the day
being excessively warm, he complained of
the heat. Just before retiring, he repaired
to the spring, near the house, and bathed
himself thoroughly in its chilling waters.
Bat even this did not seem to relieve him
from the oppressive heat, as be remarked to
bis wile, that he was still very warm. About
3 o'clock in tbe morning, Mrs. Lamon had
her slumbers disturbed by (he cries of one
of the children, and reached over to awaken
her husband. She shuddered at ihe touch
of bis person, when, after a second effort,
the startling truth flashed across her mind
that be was dead! She aroused his parents,
who resided in the same dwelling, and they
were brought to realize the sad fact, A
physician was called, who pronounced it a
clear case of apoplexy. The deceased
leaves a devoted wife aod two interesting
children,as well as a large circle of relatives
and friends to mourn his untimely death

says; "The confesor of Mrs. Surratt, the
Rev. Mr. Walters, says not revealing the
confessional that as God lives Mrs. Surratt
waa innocent of the murder of President
Lincoln, or of any intent or conspiracy to
murder him." This may all be,but she re
received visits from Booth at ber house; and
to bave ever known or been intimate with
him is confirmation strong of guilt as proof
of holy writ in tbe opinion of General
Hunter and of merciless, unreasoning fanat
ics in general.

Pasb Cnrix Station, 15 miles West of 1
Fort Halleck, Jane 26, 1865. j
W. H. Jacoby, Dear Sir : I now embrace
the first favoiabfe opportunity afforded me
to fulfill my promise to write yon and give
you an account of '.my journey to the far
West. To attempt to give more than a
brief outline of my travels would require
more time than I bave at command al pres
ent, as we are lying over but for a single
day, and other necessary affairs imperative
ly demand my attention.
As yon and most of your readers are ac
quainted with Ihe traveling accommoda
tions, ibe delays, &c, between Bloomsbnrg
and Harribburg, it will not be necessary lo
describe ihem. Let it suffice to say that,
oar party, which consisted of my bro'ber,
his wile and boo, Mr. Pollock and myself,
left Bloomsburg Station on Wednesday,
April 5th, at about 9.15 A. M., and after
the usual delays at Northumberland and
other places, we reached Harrisburg with
out accident or incident worthy of note, at
about 3 P. M. Tbe latter place presented
an appearance quite in contrast with that
of the Fall of 1862, when its Streets, its
Capital, &c, were thronged with the hardy
yeomanry of tbe Old Keystone State, wbo
had promptly responded to the call for
minute-men, to defend her border from
ibe invasion of an enemy. Now ihe Btir
ting notes of martial music have given
place lo (be busy hum of industrial pursuits.
On the wing again at 1.15 A. M. (Thurs
day) reached Altoona in time for break
fast. The scenery over the mountains was
very fine, rivaling, if not excelling in
grandeur, that along the C. W. & E. R. R.
We arrived at Pittsburg al 1.30 P.M., April
6 th my firfrt siuht qf the smoky city. It
is ju st It styled a black city. Everything
gives evidence of the presence of dirt and
smoke ditty faces, dirty clothes, dirty
houses, smoke and dost everywhere. Afier
partaking of something to refresh the in
ner man, we took the Pittsburg, Fi. Wayne
& Chicago R. R. cars about 4 o'clock, P. M.
had a delightful ride lb rough Ohio and
Indiana aud part of Illinois. Reuchad
Chicago at I.JO P. M., on Friday, the 7tli.
Stopped al the Fremunt House. In the
eveninz I visited Col. Wood's Museum,
where I frpenl two hours examining the
large and interesting collection of curiosi
ties, roneistins; ol paintings, minerals, rel
ics, statuary, &c. In one room was exhib
ited ihe Court of Pilate and the trial of Oar
Savior in wax figure; all life size. In au
oiher, the "Happy Family," consisting of
animals and birds of different kinds, na
tures and dispositions ; all living harmoni
ously together ihus furnishing an impor
tant lesson on the subject of domestic
tranquility.
On the next day I visited the principal
places of interest in the city, including
Camp Douglas, where a large nomber of
rebel pri-oners were confined. But I must
not dwell loo long in the Lake City. 1 will
mention but one more item of interest be
fore taking our depa tare. On Sunday eve
ning the surrender of Gen. Lee and his
army was announced and was hailed with
noiy demonstrations, such as the ringing
of bells and the firing of guns. On Monday
morning a meeting wes called and arrange
ments made for a more general exhibition
ol patriotic feelings. Accordingly a grand
procession was arranged for, to take place
in the afternoon. It was a grand affair,
there being a general display of the mili
tary and ol all the fire companies, express
companies, learns, grain, flour, mail, oys
ter and fi-h companies, omnibus compan
ies, and street cars, where tbey run in ihe
direction of the procession. They forma l
a line of about three miles in length. In
th-j evening there was a grand display oj
tire-works. B:o. Jos. and 1 took ihe cars at
12 o'clock the same evening on the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad for
Qnincy, Illinois, on the Mississippi River.
Arrived at Quincy about 3 P. M. crosse.l
ihe lather ol waters on a steamboat and
again look cars for Si. Joseph, and after a
ride of abont sixteen hours over the rough
ed road I ever traveled, we reached the
latter place, April 12th; which, by a refer
ence lo the map. you will find, is situated
on the Missouri river. We met here a
number of Pennsjiranians, from Luzerne
county, who, like ourselves, were bonnd
for the gold regions of tbe far West. There
were now ten of us from our own and ad
joining counties.
St Jo. as it is generally called, contains
a population of 2 or 3 thousand inhabitants
and several respectable hotels. The prin
cipa! ones are the Pacific and the Pate p.
House. While here we received ihe news
of the assassination of Lincoln, Seward and
Son, which cast a general gloom over the
minds ol ibe people; places ol business
were closed on Sunday from 10 A. M. until
2 P M. by order of tbe Mayor.
We remained in town several day, ex
amining wagons, learns, &c, and in the
mean time our number was increase J by
the arrival of Mr. & Mrs. A. J. Hess, Mrs
F. A. B. Koons, Miss Frank Smith, Messrs.
F. rrvin and C. & I. M. Robbins. We
now procured our outfit, consisting of a
wagoi, three yoke of cattle and p;oviions
for nine months, and started across ihe
river. There are several large outfitting
houses here, and everything that one needs
to cross the plains can be obtained at con
siderably lower rates than could have been
bought in the East at that time. This is
owinj to the great competition existing
here ir. thai line of business.
We lefi St. Jo. on the 20th of April. Our
private party and ou'fit consisting of F.
Parvin, C. & I. M. Rcbbins, myself and
Brother Jos. the latter however remaining
behind to drive a team for Mr. Koons, who
was not quite ready, lo start. Our team :
Four Rifles and Five Revolvers! The first
night we camped near the village of
Wathena, where we had some rough ex
perience in camping out. It rained and
snowed most of the night, and although
our tent effectually kept out the rain, we
suffered some from cold, and were obliged
to go out a number of times to look alter
Ihe cattle, which we had picketed near the
wason. They, not being accustomed to
being tied up and in consequence of ihe
cold storm, became very restless and gave
us considerable trouble. The next day
we laid over and on Saturday we 6truck
our lent and started once more, and after
traveling some eight miles our team be
came unmanageable, turned off the road,
broke an axle and upset our wagon. For
tunately nothing else was broken and we
6et to work and put in another axle hav
ing an extra one with as and drove on to
Troy, a small village and county seat,
where we halted for the night. The next
day we made about 20 miles. The roads
were in excellent condition. Our course
lay through the open prairie generally
level, or a little roiling, fiat I shall not
lire your readers with the detail of every
day's drive. Passed through Rinnekuk on
the S4ih, which is the junction of the
Adrisoa and St. Jo. roads, and camped on
Indian Creek. The next day we parsed
Kickapoo station, which is orj tbe Indian
reserve, in Kansas. There are about 400
Indians here. Camped near the village of
Grenada. Saw and shot some prairie chick
ens. Ihe next day wa traveled 20 miles
and camped on Nemaha river, at Seneca, a
very neat little village, and the County
Seat of Nemaha Co- Lsiy over until May
2d, waiting for tbe rest of our party. As
they did not come on we fell in with a
traio from Adrison. More anon.

Ml. Pleasant, Col. co., Pa . May 21,1860
Messrs Seth W. Fo-s-ler & Co.. Bosion
Gentlemen. About three yearn ago out
daaghter, now twelve years ol age, wa
severely afflicted with croup. A general
irritation of the lungs followed, producing
a hectic cough, which became almost con
stant, swelling of the temples and other
indications of Consumption were also ap
parent, and her life was despaired of by
her physician. Ai this critical momr nt we
were induced lo give Dr. Wi.-tar's Balsam
of Wild Cherry a trial, and after she had
laken one bottle we" found her so much re
lieved that it was thought unnecessary to
continue its use. fcinceihat time we hav
used the Balsam in our family in cases ot
Coughs and Cold, f nd believe it to be a
superior remedy foi all diseases of rhf
Lungs.
Yours with respect JAMES GRIMES.
