No Time to Swap Horses.
The following is the story about "sWap
ping hordes" of which Mr. Lincoln was
reminded'when his renomination far the
Presidencywas formally announced to
him: A Dutchman undertakinglo swim
a mare and a colt across a streams, and
not being a swimmer himself, he takes
holdof the. colts tail, and the trio start
to make the passage. The colt, weak
and immature, begins to show signs of
giving out about the time the middle of
the stream is reached, and men on the
opposite bank cry out to the Dutchman
to seize the mare's tail and relieve the
colt, or he will be lost. Looking anxious
ly.about him, and seeing the mare's tail
beyond his reach, la tightened his grasp
s.
on the colt'candle extremity, and re
plies to his interested neighbor that this
"is no place to swap ipAratts." The re
sult, of course, is that the Dutchman and
colt abakto what thelittevelists term a
"watery grave:" We are left to infer
that the colt represents the almost ex
hausted klovernment, and the President
the drowning Dutclunan. It is not
sthinge that his renomination should
havecalled this story ,to mind. The
question for the people is whether there
is not some way to ' -save the colt.

ROT., MILLER,
WM. LITAMON.
Genera) G. W. Morgan.
MT.• VERSION, OHIO, /
June 17, 1864.
Gentlemen: Your note is now before
me, and with pleasure I comply with
your request. There is always danger
of civil war, among a free people, result
lug in the overthrow of liberty; and I do
not believe that mere force can restore
peace or preserve the Union. In my
humble judgment, wisdom and patriot
ism alike demand an armistice; and I
believe that a cessation of hostilities
would result in an honorable and happy
peace?
An armistice is an agreed susptnsion
of hostilities between belligerents for a
specified time, and for a given purpose.
None but barbarian powers pursue hos
tilities to extermination, and extermina
tion 'or complete exhaustation of both
contending parties, would be the neces
saryresultin all wars, did not the oppos
ing toarti6s agree to suspend hostilities
so that the question in dispute might be
submitted to the arbitrament of reason,
after brute force had failed.
Dining an armistice, the hostile armies
maintain their respective positions, and
if terms of adjustment are not agreed
upon, hostilities can be recommenced.
But as a general, and almost an inva
riable rule, an armistice is followed by
peace. The proposition for an armis
tice generally comes from the victor; and
thus after the battle of Bolferino, gained
by the French, the Emperor Napoleon
proposed an armistice to Francis Joseph
of Austria, and peace was the result of
it.
Without magnanimity there can be no
real greatness, and the absence of it, is
the certain evidence of a want of proper
self-respect.
The cause of the Union ha:, been nobly
vindicated on more than a hundred bat
tle-fields, and the deeds of our soldiers
have reflected immortal glory upon our
arms. But our enemy has been equally
brave, and although we hate secession,
we accord an honest admiration for the
heroism which has half redeemed a mis
taken cause.
The world has never seen such bat
tles, either in point of numbers or daunt
less intrepidity. We have sent to the field
more than two millions of men ; and
nearly, if not full one-half of them have
gone down to their graves. More than
one-tenth of the entire population of the
loyal States, have been actual combat
ants in this war. Who!e regions of coun
try have been made desolate ; the busy
hum of work shops has been hushed, as
if palsied by eternal death ; the plow has
been left in the middle of the furrow,
and the father, the husband and the son,
have all gone out to battle. And yet,
naught, absolutely naught has been gain
ed towards the restoration of that grand
and noble Union, formed by our fathers.
I say, then, far a time let the tarrent ot
blOod be stayed—let the olive branch
supplant the sword and Heaven -born
reason take the place of force. Victory
has crowned our banners on unnumbered
fields, and magnanimity will add lustre
to our, arms.
Say' o our countrymen of the -South:
/Let, us reason together. Your homes
'are draped in mourning, and so are
ours. Many of your noblest sons have
perished on the field of battle, and such
alas, is the case with us. We are coun
trymen, and we have been friends, and
even now, amid the red storm of battle,
we are proud of each other's deeds. We
honor the name of Lee, of Sydney,Johu
son and of Jackson; and you respect
those of McClellan, of Grant, and of
Sedgwick. Let us talk together and call
back the sacred memories of the past.
Washington was yours and ours; and
Franklin and Madison sat side by side
in the Convention which framed the
great Constitution.
Reason is the attribute of the great
. gods—carnage is the festival of fiends.
'llea let us assemble around the council
fire, and for once imitate our red
brothers of the forest and smoke the
calumet of peace. .
In a word, let the result at Richwilkd
be what it may, let us declare in favor
of an atmistice of sixty days. We can
make the proposition with honor, be
cause it would be done on Southern soil.
We blockade all the ports of the South,
not in our possession, and the great
Father of Waters is ours from its source
to its mouth. But we want peace; we
want Union; we want a cessation of the
carnage of war; and these blessings can
only be attained through an armistice.
In thy letter to the State Central Com
mittee in September, 18113,,,1 denounced
the policy of President Lincoln in refus
ing to receive Alexander H. Stephens as
Confederate Commissioner; and, since
then, I have frequently urged the ap
pointment of Commissioners on our
part, to meet with others to be appoint
ed by the authorities at Richmond, and
I again respectfully advise, what I have
so often recommended before.
With earnest hopes for the preserva
tion of the Union, and the return of
peace, I remain, gentlemen, your oblig
ed fellow-citizen.

The Famine in Cape Verd Islands.
Deplorable accounts continue to he re
ceived from the Cape Verd Islands,
which of late are periodically subject to
drought and famine resulting from the
scant vegetation. Captain Bickfork,
a sea Captain recently, from one
of Bickford, a sea captain, recently from
and of the islands, 'describes the scenes
as horrible. The people in the country,
who depend upon their crops for food,
after exhausting their slender resources,
flock into the towns and die by scores.
Captain Bickford was informed that on
Santiago, which is the principal Island
in the group, and which a year ago con
tained a population of 55,000, 7,000 had
died of starvation between January Ist
and May Ist. During his stay in Porto
Pray's ' forty Or fifty died in the city
every day from starvation and diseases
arising from over-indulgence after pro
tracted fasting—although every possible
precaution was used in supplying them
with food atlirat. One could not walk
the streets without seeing at least three
or four poor creatures dying by the way
side. Captain Bickford rode out a few
miles into the country,. but here the
scenes grew more horrible at every step.
Men, haggard with hunger, begged of
him for food; women, gaunt and weak,
tottered along the road, and fell faint
ing in full sight, perhaps, of the city
where they hoped to find bread; chil
dren, almost naked, held up their bony
arms, mutely asking for help. He went
but a short distance and returned heart
sick.

THE POST---.I."ITTSBIJRGHAVESDAVIW
The Theory of Military ConE;orip
tion.
It hiknoWn ito, our readers that the.;
modern systenil of military conscription,
iii-ameanetor raising armies, dates-from
the French Revolution, and wita.invent
ed_ by the authors of that „great social
donvulsioalcitipepurpoie of promoting
their anaralffin and ambitious projects.
'.Tti_ptioceerded on the assumption that
'every man owed military service to the
French Government from the fact of his
birth in France, and fillet this premise
the revolutionary doctripairs jumped to
the illogical conclusion that it was right ,
and proper to sweep every able-bodied
Frenchman, of suitable age, into the
ranks of the French army, by the sum
mary and arbitrary process of conserip
lion. They first resolved that military
service was a debt, and then provided a
means by which the Government might
claim, from as many as should be draft
ed, the payment of that debt.
We need not say that, regarded in the
light of political morality and private
right, the premise of the French doc
trinaires is not axiomatic and their infer
ence is illogical. Men are not made for
Governments, but Governments for
men, and there is no ethical or political
reason that we can perceive why the
duty of military service should be made.
to differ in its conditions from any other
kind of service rendered to the Govern
merit. The reader will of course under
stand that these observations relate to
the fundamental grounds of the theory
on which all conscription laws are based,
and that in this view they are addressed
to the inquiry that may be raised re
specting the legislative power of a Gov
ernment, and are not directed to the as
certainment of the citizen's duty under
conscription laws after they may have
been enacted. Unwise or impolitic laws,
until repealed or judicially declared
void, are as much entitled to be obeyed
by the subject and enforced by the Ex
echtive as laws of the most obvious pro
priety and rightfulness.
Upon the general relatiOns of the ques
tion of Military conscription we presume
none will dispute the justice of the fol
lowing observations of the New York
Commercial Advertiser:
"It is supposed by many that a con—
scription without any commutation will
more justly equalize the burdens of the
war. This view we hold to be an error.
Men are not equally adapted to the mili
tary service, nor equally , desirous to en
ter it.
"To some men a militiary life opens to
them that path of glory and position
which satisfies their ambitions; men oth
erwise constituted do not care for any
honors which the career of a soldier can
otter them.
"It is desirable to have soldiers, and if
men do not enter the ranks of the army
voluntarily at the present rate of renum
oration and bounties, we must increase
renume ration and the bounties until they
reach a point at which men will enter
the ranks.
"The occupation of the soldier, like
every other employment, must be re
warded in accordance with the nature of
the service rendered and the danger in
cured by the person rendering it. Part
of this remuneration consists in glory,
the rest must be made up by money.
We have a number of gunpowder manu
factories in the country, and for military
purposes it is as important to have work
men in this occupation as to have men
to shoulder the musket. Although the
business of making gunpowder is con
nected with a great deal of danger, we
do not obtain the employees by conscrip
tion.• We bid high enough to find men
who will volunteer to enter the works,
and expose themselves for a certain con
sideration to all the dangers incident to
this occupation.
same rule hrhda true to regard TO
our hospital service. Physicians volun
teer for the position; they are not draft
ed for it; and during the.past winter the
rate of mortality among physicians in
some - of our hospitals has surpassed that
occasioned by the chances of war.
"Therefore, on every, just principle 91
the division of employment, and eviin
upon the ground of equal justice, the sys
tem of volunteering, as a means of tilling
the ranks of the army, is infinitely supe
rior to any conscription. By the former
method we get men who arc adapted by
physical organization and tastes for the
life of a soldier. In adopting the latter
course, we till the army with men who
are in every way unfitted for the life
which they have been forced to adopt."
A Stampede.
The emigration across the plains, says
the World, was never so large as it is
this season. The St. Lords papers state
that accounts from all the territories
agree in speaking of the emigration as
being' beyond all previous report or cal
culation. At one time during the month
of May:upwards of one hundred thou
sand people were journeying westward,
in all sorts of conveyances, between
Denver City, Julesburg, and the Mis
souri frontier. The steamers befWeen
this city and San Francisco never did so
large a business.
It is easy enough to account for this
"change of base" on the part of so many
of our people. A land of gold is more
attractive than a land of greenbacks ;
peace is preferable to war, and the pur
suits of industry to the pursuit of arms.
Many of the emigrants are from the un
settled regions of the border States, and
fly to the Pacific shore to escape the ac
tual horrors of war. We fear that many
of them are not as loyal as they might
be, and that perhaps the influence of
these people upon the future destinies of
California, and the embryo States, may
lead to difficulties in the future. In any
event, this heavy addition to the popula
tion of the mineral-hearing territories is
of very great significance and Import
ance.
How Gen. Polk Was Killed
A correspondent of the New York
Rerald, with the army of ('en. Sherman,
gives the following concerning the man
ner of the death of Bishop Gen. Polk.
On the afternoon of the 14th a party of
rebel Generals, consisting of Johnson,
Polk and Hardee, rode to Pine Moun
tain, for the purpose of making some
telescopic observations of our line. At
the time a brisk artillery fire was going
on between the two armies, but no en
gagement of the infantry. The rebel
Generals were on foot at the time, hav
ing.left their horses out of range. The
artillerists of the Fourth corps, observing
the party, fired at them but failed ,of
their mark, as they were protected in a
measure. Another battery of the Fiume
corps, but some distance on the right,
got range on the party, and gave them a
discharge. One of the projectiles struck
Gen. Polk on the left arm, about the
elbow, prssed through his body, consid
erably mangling it, and carrying off the
right arm. The unexpected circum-
Vanee occasioned great excitement, and
consternation among the Generals and
rebels in the vicinity, as could be plain
ly seen by some of our troops, though
the cause of the confusion was not
known to them at the moment.
THE CROPS in MARTLAND,—The far
mers living along the line of the Wash
ington branch railroad have commenced
harvesting their grain, and an average
crop is expected. We learn from a gen
tleman who has recently returned from
the Western Shore of Maryland that the
wheat crop in, the counties of Washing
ton and Frederick (the most productive
in the State) never looked' finer, and
that the "tillers of the soil" are gratffielt
at the prospects before them. The corn'
. crop lais a ver)lllealthy appearance, and

Atomminded woman' of Ohiti—a

Sea Island Cotton plantations (S. C.) tO

experience and'opinion of the negroes in
the following 'pithy sentence:
' "They neither used profsue language

was introduced, and' the intercourse be
tween the two races bad extended and
become common, the contrabands had
arrived at a remarkable state of accom
plishment in the gentlemanly disqualifi
cations of sw earing and drinking bad
whisky."
These negroes were never,as we know,
allowed to use profane language and
drink whisky while they were under the
control of their masters. Swearing and
irunkeness are among the accomplish
ments of the free negNes, and in those
common vices of their civilization the
New England Yankees have educated
the blacks of the South with astonishing
rapidity. Our American Indians are an
other example of the same sort of Yan -

IWE HAVE LEARNED NOT TO
be astonished at anything. Years of ex
perience and a correspondence extending through
out all the nationalities of the habitable globe
have turned their theories into facts and estab
lished a basis from which we need not err. We
are not surprised at such facts as the following -7
although the persons 'who write them are. We
know the persons and circumstances, hence feel
at liberty to indorse their statements :
New BEDFORD, Mass., Nov. 24, 1883.
llitea Sin have been afflicted many years
with severe prostrating cramps in my limbs, cold
feet and hands, and a general disordered system.
Physicians and medicines failed to relieve me.
While visiting some friends New York who were
using Plantation Bitters they prevailed.upon me
to try them. I commenced with a small wine
glaseful after dinner. Feeling better by degrees,
in &few days I . was astonished to find the cold
ness and cramps had entirely left me, and I could
sleep the night through, which I had not done
for years. 1 feel like another being. My appe
tite and strength have also greatly improved by
the use of the Plantation Bitters.
Respectfully, JUDITH RUBBHL.
Bettnsity Ere, Wts., Sept..lB, 1883.
" • • • 1 have been In the army hospital
for fourteen months—speechless and nearly dead.
At Alton, 111., they gave me a bottle of Planta
tion Bitters. • • Three bottles restored my
speech and cured me. • • U. A. flerrre."
The following is from the ➢Tanager of the
Union Home School for the Children of Volun
teers :
Havirmirens XAIISTON, ME ST.,
New York, Aug. 2. 1863.
De. DUMER :—"Your wondefful Plantation
Bitters have been given to some of our little
children suffering from weakness and weaklunge
with most happy effect. One little girl in par
ticular, with pains in her head, loss of appetite,
and daily wasting consumption, on whom all
medical skill had been exhausted, has been en
tirely restored. We commenced with but a tea
spoonful of Bitters a day. Her appetite and
strength rapidly increased and she is now well.
