Another Infamous Outrage.
The Sussex (N. J.) Herald publishes
the following account of the kidnapping
of the sou ol a citizen of Hamburg in that
county, on Saturday week :
In the foreuoon of the day mentioned,
in the midst of the rain storm, two men,
strangers in the neighborhood, with a pair
of horses and wagpn, drove up to the place
of Stacy L. Stoll, esq. Without ceremony
they proceeded to the grist mill near by
and demanded to see Mr. Joseph E Stoll
who was tending the mill. Having pre’
sented himself, he was informed that they
were authorized to arrest deserters, and
that he must go with them. They
reused to give their names, or to show or
offer to show any authority. They said
they were from Jersey City, and had au
thority from headquarters. Stacy L. Stoll
his lather, who has long been confined to
his bed with sickness, could not see them,
but his mother, an infirm woman, and her
younger sou, a lad about thirteen years of
age, came down to the mill, when these
catchpoleß proposed to compromise, and
tor 5>400 offered to let Joseph go, aDd to
guarantee him that he should not again be
molested, Joseph, thinking that their
object was to extort, money, stepped out of
sight, somewhere about the mill. This
put these villains into a great fury • they
then threatened Mrs. Stoll, that un
less she paid them the amount they
exacted, they would arrest her for enter
taining a deserter—and exhibiting their
iron shackles, seizing hold of her—when
the little boy. seeing the abuse of his
mother, came to her rescue, to get her
from their grasp ; whereupon these demon
employees let her go, and seized the lad—
a very .mail boy of his age—and valiantly
and bravely fastened upon his wrists a
pair of irou shackles, which extended his
arms about one and a half feet apart; they
then dragged him along past his father's
Ouse, and placed bim iu their wagon,
and drove off hastily in the midst of a vio
lent rain, tbe lad having nothing to pro
tect him from the cold storm but the in
door clothes he chanced to have od. They
said they would take him to headquarters
Hie poor invalid father, unable to protect
mim, and bis helpless and agitated mother
and sisters who witnessed the scene,
could only look cm with horror and dis
traction as the affrighted and screaming
lad was carried awr»y.
Tbe mother followed as far as Warwick,
New It ork btate, when she found the men,
but no trace of her boy ; nor would they
condescend to inform her where he was
until near night, when they told her that
she probably would find the boy at home,
it seems that after.proceeding about Bix
miles with him, they unloosed his shack
les, and put him cm of the wagon to re
turn home as best he might in the drench
ing iaio.
tup rreeamen of the South
The fearful condition ot those victims
of Abolition madness, the poor •‘freed
men ' of the South, appeals to the heart
w e7trr y person of human sympathies.
We quote the opposite remarks of the N.
Y. World upon the subject, and urge its
important suggestions upon our readers’
consideration. After quoting the descrip
tions of the Rev. Mr. Fiske, General
Grants Superintendent of Contrabands,
our New York cotemporary says :
“Swarming thus m their worse than
savage misery among the camps of the
soldiery, their presence moves all that is
nbaid and brutal in those camps to hatred
and contempt, to outrage and abuse. Had
thesn people asked us for the bread of
freedom it were still insufferably base in
us to have given them these stones in re
sponse. Bat it was we who offered, Dot
they who asked, this bread at our bands,
The master may have chastised his slave
with whips, hat we have made him free,
only to chastise him with scorpions. The
master gave him life, at leaHt, and raiment,
food and drink, and a roof to cover him,
and the comfortable presence of his fel
lows. We give him slow starvation, rags,
and the firmament for his shelter. We
take him from his wife and children to
fight our ba'iles in the field, surrendering
them to insalt, privation, and death by
famine and disease.
The men who have brought this huge
wretchedness upon a helpless race, now
throw the burden on the people, whose
national name it threatens for ages to dis
grace. We cannot, and we must not, re
ject it. By every entißKleration of honor
and humanity, as Christian men, we must
lift It, grievous though it bo. This is the
immediate work and duty ni the hour. To
the future we may well remit the chastise
ment, sure and terrible, which awaits the
hypocrites and the madmen who have
loaded upon us, and upon our childrep, so
cruel a weight of national shame and of
individual misery."
Address of Mr Colfax, Speaker of
the House of Representatives.
Gentlemen ol the Douse of Representa
tives—to day will be marked in American
history as Ihe opening of a Congress des
tined to face and settle the most import
ant questions of the country, and during
whose existence the rebellion, which has
passed into culmination, will, beyond all
question thanks to our army and navy
and Administration—die a deserved death.
Not only will your constituents watch
with tho strictest scrutiny your delibera
tions here, but the friends of liberty to
the most distant lands, will he interested
spectators of your acts.
In this greater than Roman fornm, I
invoke you to approach these grave ques
tiona with the cairn thoughtfulness of
statesmen, treeing your discussions from
that acerbity which mars instead of ad
vancing legislation, and with unshaken
reliance on that Divine Power which gave
victory to those who framed this Union
and can give even greater victory to those
who are seeking to save it from destruction
by the hand of the parricide and traitor]
I invoke you also to remember that sacred
truth, which all history verifies, that
“They who rule notin righteousness shall
perish from the earth.''„
Thanking yon with a grateful heart for
this distinguished mark of your confidence
and regard, and appealing to yon all for
that support and forbearance, by the aid
of which alone I can hope to succeed, I
m now ready to take the oath of office
nd enter upon the duties you have as»
signed me.
A Negro about dying was told by his
minister that he must forgive a oertain
darkey against whom he seemed to enter
tain very bitter leelings,
. ‘|es, yes,’ he replied, ‘if I dieß I for
gib dat nigga; but if I gits well dat nijrga
moat take care.’
William Lloyd Garrison,
Mr. Garrison was not mobbed last night.
Vitriol was not scattered throngh the audi
enee. Stones were not dashed throngh
the windows. Yet Mr. Garrison Baid
that the execution of John Brown was a
horrible murder, and uttered the boldest,
most uncompromising anti-slavery opin
ions. He was not even hissed ; on the
contrary, he was welcomed and interrupt
ed by applause, and throughout hia 6ne
speech had the sympathies and respect of
his hearers. What nas happened to Phil
adelphia that in three years she has been
thus transformed? What spell of elo
quence has Mr. Garrison wrought, that
he, who, twenty years ago, nearly lost his
life in the streets of Boston for declaring
slavery to be a crime; who, up to 1861
was nnjußtly branded as a traitor and an
atheist, should now be acknowledged as
one of the truest of Americans ? He has
wrought no spell bnt that of truth ; he is I
not eloquent as Brutus is, and speaks with
no more power than of old.
The above is frbm the Philadelphia
riVess, edited by John W. Forney, the
Ulerk of the Senate of the United States I
Who is this Wm. Lloyd Garrison, who is
“> w pronounced by Forney “as one of
the truest Americans ?” He is the editor
of the Liberator, at Bostou, which, from
1881 to 1861, made its weekly appear
ance with this motto, as the key to the
principles of the paper: “The American
Umoo and Constitution—a league with
bell and a covenant with death.” For
more than a quarter of a century did he
labor openly and boldly, and with fanatical
zeal and determination, for the destruc
tion o( our Union and Constitution, be
cause they, in his judgment, contributed
to the support of slavery in the Bouth.
riis doctrine was, that our political in
| Btitutions should perish, in order to give
the negro a chance for his freedom I
1 his original architect of disunion, who
has done more, perhaps, to bring about,
the war and separation of the Northern
and Southern States, is now received with
ovations by the Administration and so
called Union party in Philadelphia, and i
its organ heralds him as “one of the truest
of AmericansT Before a large and fash
ionable audience of the Quaker City, Gar
rison stands np and asserts that the execn
ion of John Brown, who prooeeded, in a
time of profound peace, into the State of
irgima with a band of desperadoes, with
the avowed purpose of inciting negroes to
revolt and murder their masters and their
master s familes, to bring upon the Old
Dominion all the horrors of St. Domingo,
and by whose raid a number of valuable
ives were lost, whose hand carried pikes
tor the barbarous negroes to use in trans
bung the heads of infants, after their
lashion upon such occasions ; asserted,
we repeat, that the execution ol this
bloody arid terrible miscreant was a hor
rible murder, and the sentiment was re
ceived with applause I If this was not a
period when the events that have trans
pired have been of so extraordinary a
cbaracier as to preclude our being aston
.shed at any thing, this applanse o? such a
sentiment by an American audience would
sorely awaken that ©motion.
~ ul " p
•**«».. w —« th pubiVc sen-
Ument—to the excess of craziness—that
it can be carried when under the direction
of a ferocious and cruel fanaticism, and
even this Philadelphia welcome to the
eulogist of a murderer and a traitor of
the worst grade, is bot in harmony with
that spirit that baa already subverted our
Government, and perpetrated atrocities
from which the whole world recoils with
horror and amazement ! This Philadel
phia audience, that received Garrison with
so much enthusiasm, may have been well
dressed may have had the appearance of
a high civilization—hot its moral respect
and sense of justice and right, is that of
heathens and barbarians of a degraded
type. Is there any one now who can not
measure th* sincerity of the professions of
devotion to the Union that have come
from that quarter— who cau not now see
the total and utter hypocrisy of them, and
is uot ready to rebuke their impudence
when they shall again be thrown under
his observation ? The Unionism of the
Radical or Jacobin faction is that peculiar
Unionism of Garrison and John Brown
that Unionism which applied the torch
and the sword to the destruction of the
great temple of American Liberty, and
razed it to the ground, and now exult
with ferocious and crazy joy ovsr its
rmns !
The Work StiU Going On
The business of arbitraiy arrests is still
progressing in ihe lower end ol our conn
ty. We noticed n week or two ago the
arrest and imprisonment of Mr. Conrad
Horn, ol Hazleton, hy the military. On
Friday night of week before last, another
outrage or aeries of outrages was perpe
trated upon a number of the citizens of
Black Creek, whose houses were entered
in the night hy some soldiers and the men
arrested and taken to Hazleton and from
there to Beaver Meadows. They were
taken btfore the Deputy Marshal at the
latter place, and that officer finding noth
ing against them, discharged them aad
lelt thorn to return home on foot through
the rain. The victims ol this last outrage
were Amos Rittenhouseand two othi- sons,
Philip Wolf, David Hnnstnger, Christian
Beninger, Adam Oroll and Michael Smith.
The arresting party also wem to the house
of George Clinger, who keeps a hotel in
the neighborhood, destroyed hie liquors
and other articles, and warned his family
to leave the bouse.
And these deeds are perpetrated upon
American co zens, who are guiltv of no
crime save that they refuse to fall down
and worship the Abolition God at the
behest ol the men in power I In other
words, they are Democrats and believe
that our old fashioned constitutional gov
ernment, such as our fathers made for us
through Beaa of blood, is better than a
despotism founded upon pretended “raili
tary necessity." How long the liberties
of the citizen are thus to be crushed we
do not know. But we jet hope that the
people will awake from the infatuation
which seems to render them careless qf
the future, careless ol the existence of the
free institutions—and when once aroused,
that they will yet hurl by their votes a
party from power that thus perverts the
the purposes of good government to party
spleen. A few months more of
sion, and the rights of the people'will not
be worth the paper upon which we write
this paragraph.— Zttzeme Union.
The Sewing Girls
The Boston Herald , in an article upon
the poor sewing girls’ strike in the large
cities, says:
“The prices paid for sewing are too con
temptibly small to mention. Where are
the- shoddy . contractors 1 Where are the
loud-mouthed philanthropists and sponters
about human freedom ? Where are the
anti-slavery agitators and Abolition minis
ters who roll up their eyes In holy horror
about slavery, when the,worn kind of sla
very, exists in our very midst? Do our Chris
tian ministers preach long and flatulent dis-
courses about the sad condition of the
thousands of females who labor twelve or
fourteen hours a day for $1 60 or $2 per
week? How are they to pay for their board)
; and how are they to be clothed apon snch
a miserable stipend, we inquire? Do not
the great wrings practioed upon them in
this particular cry aloud to Heaven for'
vengeance? Will not the bo called res
pectable women, who live in luxury and
e &ae, qo something to aid the unfortunate
of their own sex ? . Will they not step for
ward arid lend their influence to alleviate
the sufferings of their unfortunate Bisters?
'Do they imagine that going to church,
arrayed in purple and fine linen, and at
tending a few meetings during the week,
yclept sewing circles, where scandal is
the presiding genius, will carry them to
Heaven ? It they do they will come far
ri °j en l “ e y stand before a just
Hod, will not the question be pat to them:
Have you fed the hungry and clothed the
naked. Have you done anything to re- 1
lieve the distress of your poor sißters, or 1
have you been proud, arrogant and sel- 1
fish? i
“The misfortune is that these poor sew
mg girls must be negroes to get the Bym
pathy ofthe Abolition agitators.”

W° d AlrT h ( ore,gn Powers. The ef
-I°** d'Bloyal citizens of the United
States to involve us in foreign wara and to
aid iu inexcusable insurrection have been
unavailing. Her Britannic Majesty’s
(government, as was justfy expected, have
exercised their authority to prevent the
departure of new hostile expeditions from
British ports. The Emperor of France
B llke proceeding promptly indica
ted the neutralityTvhich he proclaimed at
the beginning of the contest Quest.ons,
of great intricacy and importance have
arisen out of the blockade and other bel
ligerent operations between the Govern-
? e , D , tand B6V ? aI °{ the “aratimepowers,;
but they have been discussed, and, so far as
was possible, accommodated in a spirit of
frannness, justice and mutual good will. 1

On Foreign Treaties.
’ n e , supplemental treaty Detween the
United States and Great Britian. for the
suppression of the African slave trade,
mode on the 17th day of February last, hn
been duly ratified and carried into execu
tion. It ia believed that so far as Ahieri
- can ports and American citizens are con
cerned, that inhuman and barbarous traf
fic has been brought to an end. I shall
submit, for the consideration of the Senate,
a Convention for the adjustment of pos
sessory claims in Washington territory
arising out of the treaty of the 15th of
June, 1846, between the United States and
Great Britian, and which have been the
source of some disquiet among the citizens
of that now rapidly improving part of the
country. A novel and important question
involving the extent of the maratime ju
risdiction of Spain, in the waters which
surround the Island of Cuba, has been de
bated, without reaching an agreement, and
it is proposed, in an amicable spirit, to
refer it to the arbitrament of a friendly
Fower. A convention for that purpose
will be submitted to the Senate.
I have thought it a proper subject to
the approval of the Senate to concur with
tne interested commercial powers in ah
arrangement for the liquidation of the
Soheldt dues, in the principles which have
been heretofore adopted in regard to the
Denmark^ 11 DBrigation in the waters of
Our UittlfiuUioa with Chiu.

this Government and that of Chili, touch

belonging to citizens of the United States,
bron K h ‘ ‘“a close, by the award,
of His Majesty the King of the Belgians,
to whose arbitration the question was re
ferredbythe parties. The subject was
thoroughly and PatlWlldT..«mtmn«<l...lv. I
"the snm awarded to the claimants may
not have been as large as they expected,
there is no reason to distrnst the wisdom
of His Majesty’s decision. Thst deoision
was promptly complied with by Chili
when intelligence in regard to it reached
that country. The joint commission, I
under the act of the last session, for I
carrying into effect the convention with
Pera on the subject of claims,. has been
organized at Lima, and is engaged in the
business entrusted to it. The difficulties
concerning inter ooeanic transit through
Nicaragua are in oourse oi amicable
adjustment. In conformity with princi
ples set forth in my last annual message, I
i have received a representative from the
United States of Columbia, and have I
credited a Minister to that republic.
The Righto ol Foreigners and Citizens
▲broad
Incidents occurring in the progress of
our civil war have forced upon my atten
tion the uncertain state of the interna
tional question touching the rights of
foreigners in this country and of United
States citizens abroad. In regard to
some Governments, these rights are at
least partially defined by treaties. In no
instance, however, iB it expressly stipu
lated that, in the instance of civil war, a
foreigner residing in this country, within
tbe lines of insurgents, is to be exempted
from the rules which classes him a? a
belligerent, in whose behalf the Govern
ment of his country canuot express any
privileges or immunities distinct from
that character. I regret to Bay, however,
that such claims have been put forward,
and in some Instances in behalf of for
eigners who have lived in the United.
States the greater part of their lives.
There is reason to believe that many per
sons, born in foreign countries, who have
declared their intention to become citi
zens, or who have been fully naturalised,
have evaded the military duty required of
them by denying the fact, and thereby
throwing upon the Government the bur
den of proof.
It has been found difficult or impractica
ble to obtain this proof from the want of
guides to the proper sources of informa
tion. These might be supplied by re
quiring the clerks of courts, where decla
rations of intentions may be made or
naturalization effected, to send, periodical
ly, lists of the names of persons natural
ized or of those declaring their int ntion
to become citizens, to the Secretary of the
Interior, in whose department these
names must be arranged and printed for
general information. There is also reason
to believe that foreigners frepuently be
come oitizens of the United States for the
sole purpose of evading the duties imposed
by the laws of their native country, to
which, in becoming naturalized here, they
at once repair, and. though never return
ing to the United States, they still olaim
the interposition ol the Government as
citizens. Many altercations and great
prejudices have heretofore arisen out ot this
abuse. It is, therefore submitted to your
serious consideration. It might be ad
visable to fix a limit beyond whioh no
citizen of the United States residing
abroad may claim the interposition of his
Government. The right of suffrage has
often been assumed and exercised by aliens
under pretence of naturalization, which
they have disavowed when drafted into the
military servioe. I submit the expediency
of such an- amendment of the laws as '
will make the tact of voting an estoppel
against any plea of exemption from mili
tary service, or other civil obligation, on
.grounds of alienage.
In common of other Western Powers
our relation with Japan have been brought
into serious jeopardy through the perverse
opposition of the hereditary aristocracy
of the Empire to the enlightened and lib,
eraL policy of the Tycoon, designed to
bring the country into the society of na

ierred to some Governments, but uo defin-
Uiye answer to the proposition has not been
received from any.
The operations of the Treasury during
the laßt year have been successfully con
ducted. The eaaotment by Congress of a
National Banking Law has proved a vain
ble support of the public credit, and the
general legislation in relation to loans has
lully answered the expectations of its fa
vorers. Some amendments may be required
to perfect existing laws, but no change in
their principles or general scope is beiiev
ed to be Deeded* Since these measures
have been in operation all demands on the
Treasury, including pay ot the army and
navy, have been promptly met, and fully
satisfied. No considerable body of troops
it is believed, were ever more amply pro
vided, more liberally and punctually paid
aud, it may be added, -that by no people
were the hardens incident to a neat war
more cheerfully borne.
The receipts during the year from all
sources,.including loans and the balance
10 * commencements
were $90,112,667,488; the aggregate dig*
bursements, $896, 796,680,66; leaving a
balance on the 7th of July, 1868.
of $632,904,421. 01 the receipts there
were derived from customs, $6,906,964--
240; from.internal revenue, $8,764,076,-
796; worn direct taxes, $148,610,861:
trom lands, $167,617,17; misoeilaileoM
a 2“cea, $804,661,686 ; and from loan.,
,166,682,861; making an aggregate of
$90,112,667,486. Of the dSXU
there were $282,689,22; for pensions
&e -> $4,216,620,69; for interest on
public debt, $24,729,846,61; for War
Department, $699,298,600;83; for the
Navy Deyartmeut, $6,824,106,27; for the
payment of fonded mid temporary debt.
$181,086,686,07, making an aggregate of
$89,678,688,066, and le^ving^tXioe o
$682,904,421. --auuo
Bat the payment of the funded and
temporary debt having been made from
monies borrowed during the year most
be regarded as merely nominal payments,
aud the monies borrowed to make them
as merely nominal receipts, and
amount, $181,086,686,07, should there
tore be deducted both fromthe receipts and
disbursements. This being done, there
remains, as aotual receipts, 714,709,985,-
08, leaving the balance as already stated.
The actual receipts and disbursements
lor the first quarter and the estifacM re _
oeipts and disbursements lor the remain
ing three quarters of the qnrrent fiscal
year of 1864, will be shown in detail by
the report of the Secretary of the Trea
sury. to which I invite your attention. It
is sufficient to say here that it is not
believed that the actual' results will
exhibit a state of the finances, less for
midable to the country, than the estimates
of that officer, heretofore submitted, while
it is confidently expected that at the dose
of the year, both disbursements and debts
will be found very considerably less than
nos been anticipated.
The report of the Secretary of War is a
document of great interest. It consists
of, hirst. The military operations of the
year, detailed m the report of the General
in-Chief Second. The organization of
colored persons into the war ser
vice. Thirffi The exchange of p“
oners is fully set forthin the let
ter of General Hitchcock. Fourth. One
rations under the act for enrolling and caU
jng out the National forces, detailed in foe
wport of the Provost Mantel General
h-ifih. ihe organization ot the invalid
corps. Sixth. The operation of the sev
eral departments, of the Qnartermaster
Generals; Chief of Engineers; Chief ot
Ordnance and Surgeon General. It hua
appeared impossible to make a valuable
summary of this report, except each as
would be too extended for this place, and
hence I content myself in referring your
attention to the report itself
The duties devolving on the naval branch
ot the service daring the year, and
throughout the whole of this unhappy
contest, have been discharged with fideli
ty mid eminent success. The extensive
blotffiade has been constantly
in efficiency as the navy has expanded,
yet on so long a line it has so for been im.
