ve:rc , . service "did not need another man," is
notorious, and we believe too, that it
vraS published in the Gazette. It was
_telegraphed to all the leading Abolition
al , ~papers of the country, and favorably
commenced upon by many of them. The
fins therefore, which the Gazette makes

about "calumniators," because the re
mark in question was not made in Phil-

gone forth, that we shill have no peace

STILL FLOUNDERING
Our neighbor the Commercial reminds
us of old drivelling varges; it will be
talking; on Saturday it said:
"The Post displays soma clinnjog in its deals
felon that both Lawcocs and Davie are wrong.
We understand it to mean that both being
wrong, the war should stop. There oeing then
no opposition to the rebellion, the rebellion
would, therefore, become a success, and the
Southern Confederacy be established, and this
is precisely what the Post desires to accom
plish."
JEFF. Davis is wrong in urging war
against the Government, and Mr. LlN
corai is also wrong in his mode o? con
ducting hostilities; but these are not
reasons why the war should stop. The,
, war, should go on, if -necessary, to se
( .I%. • re • Orepruon of the States, but not for
thepurposes of Southern subjugation
and negro emancipation. In a word,
the war should be conducted as origi
nally announced by the President, and
j , t afterwards proclaimed by Congress in
the - CRITTENDEN resolution. Our
neighbor's talking, therefore, About our
,deslre to seethe success of the Southern
Confederacy, is mere nonsense, and if
—the writer of it is "a gentleman and
scholar" he will not trifle with his rea-
_ der by repeating it. We are nut favor

Confederacy under any circumstances.

Mower in the impending one, ,to that
with heart and hand United they'll
hurl the present Adininistration from
power, and elect a true patriotic Dem
ocrat, who shall restore the country to
peace and prosperity, and unite once
more the parent and the child in their
homesteads. We have learned how to
ippreciate peace with the many blessings
which accompany it, and we have learn
ed by expelience not to rely too much
on our own strength, lint on the right
eousness of our cause, which witl with
out doubt render our party victorious.
The Democratic party • cannot but be
victorious in the future campaign, and
if we preserve our unity, and seek the
interests of our fallen country more
than our personal profits, the party is
too strong in numbers to be overpower
ed by Lincoln's getting bands, if it
maintain its unity and friendship with
one another. This the opposition party
is perfectly aware of, and for this reason
have the Democrats been represented as
divided and contending among them
selves, for this have the two imaginary
parties of peace and war Democrats
been invented, in order to divide the
party, make the numbers contend with
one another, and slip -into the Presi
dential chair between them. Let us
open our eyes to the arts and pretexts
of Abolitionism, and we will see things
in their real light. The Democratic
party has not in the least decreased du
ring the war, on the contrary, it has
gained ground through the unpopularity
of the Administration, and this unpop
ularity is every day increasing so that
the hearts of the people are
daily returning towards the demo
cratic party, and it is on this party that
the people place their reliance for the is
sue of the future election. For this rea
son the caucuses which. have been cal
led and assembled at the voice of the
leading Democrats, have manifested an
enthusiasm and patriotism which knAw
no bounds, they United as' brothers, and
each and every one pledged themselves
to vote for the Democratic ticket, and
thus save the country from utter ruin.
No distinction of war Democrat or peace
Democrat, tended to mar, in the least,
the harmony which reigned in these as
semblies, because they found, s hen they
looked at it, there was no real distinc
lion, and that they had been deceived
by a futile 'limits verhorum.' A peace
Democrat is one who wishes the war t,
end as soon as an honorable peace can 9
be obtained, and a War Democrat is a
man who desires the continuation of the
war till an opportunity to gain an 'hon
orable peace arrives. Where is the dif
ference; where is the distinction that
should divide one noble patty, into two
distinct and separate organizations?
Let the Democrats open their eyes to
these futile endeavors of the Abolition
ists, let us also imitate the Democrats of
other cities, who have sworn to pre
serve one, free and enlightened party,
and pledged themselves to suppress this
age ofdespktism and crime,and reinstate
tile country in its former condition of
peace and tranquillity.
Parson Brownlow on Andy John
son.
As Parson Brownlow is the leading
supporter of the Administration in Ten
nessee, it may amuse and interest some
of our readers to see what he thought of
the Republican candidate for the Vice
Presidency a few years ago. The re
doubtable Earson held forth thus:
"He (Johnson) is a member of a nu
merous family of Johnsons, in North
Carolina, who are generally thieves and
liars, and though he isthe best of the
family 1 have ever met with, 1 unhesita
tingly affirm to night that there are bet
ter men than Andrew Johnson in our
penitentiary! His relatives in the Old
North state have stood in the stocks for
crimes they have committed. And his
own born cousin, Madison Johnson,
was hung at Raleigh for murder and
robbery! * * * is he not the last
man living to talk about respectabillty
on the part of any one? Certainly he
is."
We don't think that anything could
induce us to write thus about the family
of any candidate for office, whatever we
might think proper to say about himself.
And, though we hope we are a praying
man, we don't believe that, while pray
ing to God we could pray al any poor
mortal as the good Parson prayed at
Andy Johnson, in his church at Knox
ville, in the latter part of November,
1855. This was his ejaculation:
"To Thy watchful providence, t)
most merciful God, we are indebted for
all our mercies, and not any work or
merit of ours; for many of us entered
the scramble to elevate to the executive
chair of the State the present incumbent
(Andrew Johnson,) with a perfect
knowledge that he had abused Thy Son,
Jesus Christ our Lord, on the floor of
the State Senate, as a swindler, advoca•
ting unlawful interest. We knew that
he voted in Congress against offering
prayers to Thee. We knew that he had
opposed the temperance cause which is
the cause of God and of all mankind.
We knew that he had vilified the Pro
testant religion, * * * Yet such
were the party ties, 0 most mighty
God, that we went into the support of
our Infidel Governor blind."
Mercy on us! We cannot help fancy
ing that sonic preachers can pray worse
than others can curse, If the pious
shepherd thinks proper now to make
Andy a bell-wether of his flock, he can
say in his next prayer that he was mis•
taken in 1855, and beg the Lord not to
remain deceived by what, in the holy
and raging fervors of his soul, he stated
at that time. The Parson will make it
all right in his next prayer, we dare say.

':Necessity for Economy.
Tint' taxation we have to endure is a

than froaideath, and that is heavy, and

thete can be no doubt. Not only does
it meet, us by the direct call of the as

all the articles of necessity we are com

on imported goods, and the Government

and the sales of merchandise, swell the
cost of everything taken by the con

that economy should be the rule rather
than the exception.
There is a large class of people who
Italie already adopted this prineiple, if
not voluntarily; then from stern neces

of sal arieh or' fixed•incomes on • the basis
of talues as established before the war.
These having been unchanged during

pleasures of social intercourse. These
are, practicing economy without requir

General Hunter's Army.
We hear from a gentleman, who has
just come from Parkersburg ( V.,) when
Gen. Hunter's army, was passing through
thereto Martim-hurg, that a more dilup
dated set of men seldom, if ever, turned
up, or ever in pooret . discipline. The
army, indeed, seems to have been pretty
well used up by lien. Hunter, and he, to
have lost pretty much all control o: his
men. The so'diers Oen swore pubiiOly,
that it ever thy got Gen. hunter in the
field they would shoot him. They de
nouric d him openly for turning the
white slightly wounded out of his bag
gage wagons, and for putting negro wo
men and children in their places. The
horses of the army looked like crow
baits, sixteen hundred of which, it is
1-aid, had perished fiorn exhaustion on
the pad. The soldiers, who could not
get bread to eat, often had gold watches
and the like, taken tram houses in Vir
ginia. There was a general drunk of
the soldiers when in Parkersburg.
In one of these drunken rows, a cap
tain had beaten one or the men—both
snider and captain being drunk. 'no
soluier was then "bucked and gagged,"
by order or the captain, when the 801-
diersaid to the officer
"You have the advantage of me now,
but I will kill you for this."
The next morning, as the troops were
going in the cars to Martinsburg, this
s 'Hier having lieen relieved at a station
a short distance fraan Parkeirsbule, he
then walked through the cars anti find
ing the captain last asleep, pot a I,lst, 1
to his head and shot him dead.'
The Abolition editor in Parkersburg,
Mr. Wharton, published some such tarts
as tilt se, and thew re it was that Gen.
Hunter:it - rested bin., burnt newspa
purrs, and toe k him on towards Martins
Mir.: as a pr.sourr. The Abolition pop
Marion of Parkersburg was in a perfect
rage, because their editor had been ar
rested for telling the truth.
Small an army as this of Gen. Hunter,
under him, can do no harm to the rebel
retreating enemy—and if they are ri ,, t
themselves taken by the rebels it will be
lucky.

readers are already informed visited
Jeff. Davis and the other Confederate
authorities in Richmond, Its just re
turned from Secessia, and his arrival is
creating quite a s,fisali, n in thi• North.
it is rather an unusual thing for the last
few years for a man to arrive from those
(patters, Ivit.liout having tutu a prism
ner nr something similar, sn that this
little novelty is quite pleasing. I wev
er, we are informed that his visit had
nothing oflicial in its eintracter, and that
lie bad no warranty whatever to enter
into negoi iations between this and the
Contedmaite States. Fle remained three
days in Richmond, and at his own re
quest was put limier guard, which j
ter circumstance is a flattering instance
of Southern hospitality, and we doubt
not that the cavaliers would have ac
commodated hint in that respect with
out any request whatsoever on his part.
Notwithstanding all this, we are assured
that he enjoyed the liberty of the city,
and was sumptuously entertained at the
Spottswood House, with delicacies
which we thought hid not made their
appearance in Richmond during the
war. Although his bill would have
amounted to over ;$7OO in Confederate
money, yet he was not allowed to dis
burse one cent towards its payment,
which being an ordinary occurrence to
Northern visitors now-a-days, is striking
in this, that ordinary visitors do not run
up such a long bill in so short a period,
nor do they fare so sumptuously, if
their statements be correct. On the
whole, the worthy gentleman's visit did
not amount to much, and it would have
been as well for his country as for every
body else if he had remained at home,
Treatment of Animals in the
Army.
Something should be done by our mil
itary authorities to protect the beasts of
burden in our army from the scandalous
cruelty of those who have them in
charge. One writer says on this sub
ject:
The most painful sight in the army
and in the camps about Washington is
the abuse of horses and mules. It would
be a mercy were some competent author
to write a plea for these injured creatures
to be circulated among officers and sol
diers. lam told that the average endu
rance of the horse in the army is only
about three months. This is owing not
to legitimate service, but to abuse of
every kind.
Another writer says that in a number
of investigations into disputes between
mules and their drivers, he had always
found reason and justice as well as hu
manity on the side of the mules!
In regard to mules, the drivers, in too
many cases, seem to be selected on ac
count of their brutality. The poor, pa
tient beast is driven on long marches,
beaten with bludgeons, and neglected as
to food and water. By proper treat
ment thousands on thousands of these
animals flight have been saved to the
government, instead of which their
bones , are now, through ill usage
bleaching on Southern soil.

A JIJSTORIC BELL. —The oldest bell in
America is in the little Catholic chapel
in the village of St. Reglis, on the St.
Lawrence river. The bell in that church
(Says the Norwich ..-tu rord ) was taken
foitu I) , ertleld, at the time of the Pi ench
and Indian invasion id . that place in
1704, and it is said, was suspended on a
pole and carried on the shoulders of the
Indians to the place where it now hangs.
It was originally purchased in France by
by the Church of Si. Regis; and the ves
sel in which it was being taken to Quebec,
was captured by an English cruiser and
ken into the port at Salem. The bell,
ns a part of the cargo, was sold, and
bought to the church in Deerfield. The
invaders of Deerfield were from St. it,w

TOE peace negotiations at Niagara
i Falls, amount to nothing. That Horace
Greeley has gone to Niagara Falls for
the purpose of conferring with Georg,
Saunders and Beverly Tucker is an
in
dulalablc fact. Neither party, we arc
in formet, has any official authority to
contract business in the names of their
respective goyernruents, much less arc
they plenipotentiaries to bring about
peace negotiations. But there must be
something in this conference, which al
though not having any-official authority
to commence the initiatory measures for
procuring peace, still might open a road
to that same end. Public opinion is
what leads the action of government in
a free country, and if the people ascer
tain any way through which an honora
ble peace may be obtained, they will
not certainly wish for a longer prosecu
tion of the war. Peace will be restored
at the voice of the people, if we can hon
orably lay down our arms, and in this
way and no other can the present con
ference of Niagara Falls benefit the
country at large.
A HEAVY WAGER.—The San Francis
' co Ada California gives the following
account of a strangely constituted
wager. About ten months since two
gentlemen of that city agreed to the fol
lowing conditions:
If the Union forces did not capture
Richmond within thirty days from that
date he was to give his opponent a sin
gle sound, eatable apple. If Richmond
held out sixty days he was to give him
two apples, and anon, doubling the
number for each month until Richmond
was taken—to the end of time if that
event did not occur betbre. Nine months
have passed since the first apple was
handed over, and the lists of apples de
livered at the end of the successive
months is as follows: 1,2, 4,8, 16, 32,
64, 128, 256—total, 512. Thils far it is
all a good joke, and the loser has paid
forfeits regularly with a good grace,
but yesterday it ruined a ten dollar
piece to meet the demand. Apples are
15 to 20 cents per pound, and it took a
fifty pound box. Should Richmond be
taken within the present month, he
would get back all the apples he has
lost and one more, which, as the price
will then be at the very highest notch;
would make him more than even ; but
should it hold out a year longer, and he
continue to pay his losses, his last pay
ment would cost him $40,960, and he
would be $81,900 out ; in three months
more he would be out $686,350; and
should the war last from this date as
much longer as it has already lasted
since its commencement, no nation on
earth could begin to meet the terms of
the wager, even allowing it to be re-.
duced to a cash basis, and the pay-
merits to be made in greenbacks.'

FRrDAY morning, the train which
left ,I ,, hni:onville, Tennessee at 7 o'clock,
for :Nashville, was flagged six miles oat,
and warned that there had been a raid
on the_ roil above. Timea says
that the train returned to Johnsonville,
got a strong guard and cause back to
within tour miles of Waverly, where
were seen sad evidences of violence
and bloodshed
The squad of laborers at that place,
some twenty odd, had been attacked by
a party of guerrillas, and three of the
number instantly killed. The survivors,
after being robbed of all their valuables,
were then drawn up in line to be shot,
when the guerrilla leader said that tilt
men were only laborcp, and must . not
be killed; if they were soldiers, every
one should be murdered. They searctr
ed for the firemen, to put him to death,
I.ut he could not be found. After this,
the guerrillas set fire to the tents anti
then left. It is supposed that they had
intended to attack the morning train,
but became alarmed un finding that it
was delayed over an hour, and rode
away. 'the party numbered some 200,
and claimed to belong to Forrest's com
mand.
It is said that there are some 400 guer
rillas prowling through the country on
both sides of the river, and they will
do a great deal of mischief unless speedi
ly checked.

Teel 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

in a few days I was astonished to find the cold

sleep the night through, which I had not done
for years. I feel like another being. My appe

The Plantation Bitters make the weak strong,

great restore'. They are composed of the cele
brated Oalisaya Bark, Wintergreen, Sassafras,
Roots, Herbs, Cm, all preserved in perfectly pure

Persons of sedentary habits, troubled with
weakness, lassitude, palpitation of the heart,
lack of appetite, distress after eating, torpid liv
er, constipation, &a., deserve to suffer if they
will not try them.
They are recommended by the highest medi
cal authorities, and are warranted to produce an
immediate beneficial effect. They are exceeding
ly agreeable, perfectly pure and harmless.
