-"to my old friends, of the Democratic
party. proper." I look upon the great
mass of that party as the only truly loy
'al party in the country—loyal to "the
Constitution as it is, and the Union as it
was." No party ever had a 'better
chance to honor themselves and save
their country than had that party in
1862. The tide of public opinion was
decidedly in their favor, and had they
been tree to themselves they would now
control the Government. But by equiv
ocal disteussions, timid councils, arid in
some instances the support of men whose
loyalty was questioned, they suffered
their adroit and unprincipled adversaries
to fix Upon the whole party the stain of
disloyalty. Under this' imputation they
lost, in 1863; the ground they had gained
in. 1862. Let them not, in 1864, repeat
the errors of 18(2. The tide of public
opinion is now decidedly against the
• Administration; but the people are still
devoted to the Union, and will not vote
for men who have the smell of disloyalty
upon their garments. Let the Demo
cratic party put forward candidates of
undoubted loyalty, who are prepared to
say to Vie people ..f the seceded States,
in the language of Gen. Jackson: "The
Federal Union must be preserved, but
you and your States will become enti
tled to all your original rights and priv
ileges under the Constitution as soon as
there shall be no armed rebel within
your borders."
It is my firm conviction that such a
course will secure an overwhelming vic
tory to the Democratic party in Novem
ber next, and to their country reunion
and peace. It cannot be, that even New
England is willing to sacrifice all her able
young and middle aged men in a pro
tracted war waged, not for the Union,
but for the mere purpose of giving liber
ty to negro slaves in distant States. But

"CRAFfY ARE LINCOLN."
Shortly after the President issued his
emancipation proclamation in the face
of his having declared that such an act
would prove to he but "a bull against
the comet", a couple of Illinois farmers
met in Washington, and soon commen
ced an exchange of sentiments regard
ing Mr. LINCOLN. One of these remark
ed that LINCOLN "was twt smart hut
honest"' while the other contended that
he was "d—d smart but very dishon
est." Ile knew hint well, he said, and
always found him a tricky and cunning
person. When Luscomv mauled rails
he never did an honest day's work, but
stole from some other fellow's piles to
increase his own; and when keeping his
green grocery, in southern Illinois, he
need false measures in selling red rye:
and he always played seven up with
marked cards." I tell you, continued
the speaker, that the trouble is that LIN
COLN is entirely too smart."
That Mr. LiNcoLN lii shown low
cunning and smartness since he has
been President, IS unquestionable, and
these base qualities have been exhibited
by him especially when laboring fur pop
ularity, or to damage a supposed rival
for Presidential honors.
In an interview, more than two years
ago, with a delegation of "Border State
men" he acknowledged the dangerous
tendencies of Abolition agitation, but in
a few weeks he fell into it, and appeared
in person in Washington to hear WEN
DELL PHILLIPS lecture against our
Constitution and Union. Shortly after
this be dismissed General FREMONT for
issuiag an emancipation proclamation
in Missouri,and he afterwards issued one
himself to operate throughout all the
States in rebellion. These are but two
of the cunning tricks which have been
so numerous in the proceedings of our
Chief Magistrate.
But like all other public men who rely
upon low cunning and intrigue for suc
cess, Mr. LINCOLN sometimes over
reaches himself; in no instance was this
more visible than in his late correspond
ence, through HORACE GREELEY, with
the rebel representatives at Niagara. In
that correspondence he was fairly out
witted, and when he issued his "to
whom it may concern," proclaiming a
determination not to even listen to ne
gociations for peace,until after the South
had utterly extirpated slavery he sealed
all hope of his ever being re-elected.
To conciliate the extreme Abolitionists,
like WENDELL PHILLIPS, who are going
for FREMONT, LINCOLN issued the proc
lamation in question, and'aithout secu
ring their support, he has driven into the
Conservative ranks hundreds of thous
ands of reasoning and thoughtful Re
publicans throughout the country. That
extreme demand was the weight that
pulled Mr. LrscoLa down. But still he
persists in his low cunning; it being part
of his nature he can not avoid it. In
his desperation to secure a re-election he
is now mingling craft with demagoguery,
but he puts on his applications so awk
,
warily that "they won't stick." This
was strikingly exhibited in his speech
on Monday last to some Ohio return vol
unteers. In the course of his remarks,
he said:
"I suppose you are going home to see your
families and friends. For the service you have
done in this great struggle In which we are en
gaged, I present you sincere thanks for myself
and the country. I almost always feel inclined
when 1 happen to say anything to soldiers to
impress upon them in a few brief remarks the
importance of success in this contest. It is not
merely for to-day, but for all time to come that
we should perpetuate for our children's children
this great and free government, which we have
enjoyed all our lives. I beg you to remember
this not merely for my sake but for yours. I

ously, when he spoke as he did upon the
occasion in question. But in a few
months he will see whether the people

MORE CONSPIRACIES.
The Abolitionist, being nearly ex
hausted in expedients, cling with aston
ishing tenacity to the manufacture 01
sensation stories, about dangerous con
spiracies. The last of these was discov
ered in Clearfield county, in this State,
with Ex Gov. BIGLER its chief manager.
This charge against the Ex' Governor,
serves to show the recklessness. and
folly of those who make it.
The Gazette of this city, in the hope of
giving some point to these fabrications,
blusters like some tall bully who, feels
himself secure; it predicts all sorts of
slaughter here at home, and calls upon
the Union Leaguers to organize and
take part in the general annihilation.
The following is a specimen or its frothy
gasconade:
"lf the people of the North will not volun
teer to avoid the draft,. there is one thing they
eln do—be prepared to fight the rebel symp,
[hirers at home who ate preparing for resist

have a domestic war on our hands, and that we
may have to hang, draw and quarter the Cop

ambush and shoot at UlllOll men, or skulk at
night to fire the houses and barns of the friends
of the Government."

This fellow's a foul, a blustering

alarm bumpkins like himself, not used
to despise sappy bragadocias; but he
will learn that in this locality such emp

We will venture to say that the writer
of this inexcusable and silly twaddle,
about "domestic war, - and "hanging

not resent a slap in the face for his

The 'Weill /enter, the old
Whig organ published for over half a
century in Washington, iu a late :num
ber, discussing the probable nominee of
the Chicago Convention, alludes thus
complimentarily to Gen. McCt.R.LIAN :

among his co.nrades-in-arms has evinced
front the tir , t, a c'e a perception not only
the magnitude of the contest in which
we are engaged, but also an insight into
the principles on which it should be con
ducted and the ends to which it should
be directed. He has ever recognized the
fact that a wise and just civil policy is
the necessary complement of military
force, however gigantic the latter may
be in its proportions, while the persecu
tions of which he has been made the ob
ject, and the unjust obloquy by which
he has been persistently followed, com
bine with the popular traits of his char
acter to give him a powerful hold upon
the hearts of the soldiers whom he has
led and of the people whew he has serv
ed. There is a magnetism in his name
which I etrays its presence and its power
alike in the walks of civil life and In the
camp wherever his name is mentioned;
and when we consider how his popular

dious efforts of his enemies to destroy his
reputation, we may readily infer that lie
has in his character as many elements of
strength as of enthusiasm.
MR. EGGLESTON, the succesful Com
petitor of Mr. Chase in the abolition
nominating convention in the first Con.
gressional district of :Cincinnati, is
not likely to run over the course
smoothly. The appended extract from
the Cincinnati Commercial expresses the
feelings and intentions of the friends of
Mr. Chase in that district :
"We cannot support Mr; Eggleston for
Congress, simply, because we believe
him unfitted for the position. That he
is uneducated and presumptuous is his
misfortune; that he thrusts himself upon
tha public without consulting his capac
ity for the position he aspires to, consti
tutes his offence."
If the above extract was not intended
for Mr. Lincoln as well as Mr Eggleston,
it is seldom that a shot aimed at at an
object so squarely strikes higher and dif
ferent game alter perforating that at
which it was leveled. In speaking of
Mr. Lincoln as higher game than Mr.
Eggleston, we of course allude only to
his official position.
A PETRIFIED BEE.TREE.—The • Grass

There was found a few days since, in the
diggings of John Chew & Co„ on Buck

bee-tree, with a large bee-hive, honey
and bees, all petrified. The remaining
portion of the tree in which the bee-hive
was found, is 31 feet in diameter. and 40
feet long. Chew & Co., foutqd the pet
rifled bee tree 75 feet beneath the surface,
while piping their claims. The bee hive
is no matter of fancy, but of pure dem
onstration. Before us is a sample of the
comb full of honey, all petrified. The
normal thickness of the comb, the dupli
cate cells with their invariable hexago
nal shape, are all before us as distinctly
as if a fresh piece of honey comb, all
dripping and just cut from the oox, hae
been brought and placed before our eyes
on a sheet of paper.

Major John A. Bighaan Judge Advo—
cate.
The char g es are in substance.
Ist. That Surgeon General Hammond
wrongfully and shamefully, and with
intent to favor private persons in Phila
delphia, prohibited Medical Purveyor
Cox from purchasing drugs for the army
in the city of Baltimore.
21. That he unlawfully, and with in
tent to aid one Wm. A. Stevens to de
fraud the Government of the United
States, instructed George E. Cooper,
medical Purveyor in Philadelphia, to
buy from Stevens, fur the use of the
Government, eight hundred blankets,
of inferior quality, which were unfit for
hospital use, the Surgeon General well
knowing the blankets were of inferior
quality, and that the medical purveyor
had refused to purchase them.
3d. That he corruptly and with intent
to aid said Stevens to defraud the Gov
ernment, gave an order to Stevens to
turn over to Medical Purveyor Cooper,
at Philadelphia, eight thousand pairs of
blankets, whereby he induced the pur
veyor fo buy on Government account,
and at an exorbiiant price, 6,677 pairs
of blankets, which he had before refus
ed to buy, and tor which Stevens re
ceived $25,314.
4th. That the Surgeon General well
knowing that Wyeth & Brothers, of
Philadelphia had furnished medical sup
plies to the purveyor at Philadelphia
that were inferior in quality; did cor
ruptly, unlawfully, anti with intent to
aid Wythe Lt Brothers to furnish addi
tional supplies to the Government, and
thereby traudulently realize large gains;
gave the medical purveyor at Philadel
phia an order in writing to have con
stantly on hand hospital supplies of all
kinds for IWO hundred thousand men
for six months, and directed the medical
purveyor to purchase a large amount
thereof, V:.'3,000 worth, from Wyeth
Brothers.
sth That he . unlawfully directed
Wyeth & Brothers to send forty thou
sand cans it their d xtrai t of beef to
various places, and to send the account
"to the Surgeon General's office for pay
6th. Conduct unbecoming an officer
and a gentleman, in falsely representing
that Medical Purveyor Cooper had been
relies ed from duty at the request t f
Major General lialleck.
7th. That Surgeon General Hammond
unlawfully ordered the medical store
keeper anti acting purveyor at Washing
tn to pun huge three thousand pair, of
blankets float .l. P. Fisher, at Washing
ton.
A plea of not guilty Was entiled
each of the charges and the specification,
and after a full hearing of the testimony
for the Government and the defence,and
an examination of a large amount or
documentary evidence, together with the
consideration of the elaborate argum-nt
on both sides, the court rendered a find

record and proceedings were reviewed
by Brigadier General Bolt, Judge Advo.
cite General, who delivered an elaborate
opinion, concluded as follows.
"That the natural and necessary re
sult of the acts of the accused as estnb•
I.shed by the record involved a criminal
spoliation of the Government treasury,
which would alone have called for his
dismissal from the service, cannot be
denied; but when it is remembered, as
shows by the proof, that this spoilation
was in part accomplished by the pur•
chase of interior medical supplies and
stores, thus compromising the health
and comfort, and jeopardizing the lives
of sick and wounded soldiers suffering
in hospitals and upon the battle-field of
the country, soldiers solemnly commit
ted to the shelter and sympathies of the
office held by the accused, by the very
law and purpose of its creation, it must
be admitted that this fearful augmented
the measure of his criminality."
The trial, which lasted nearly four
months, was one of the most patient and
thorough that has ever occurred in our
military history, and the accused had,
throughout, the assistance of eminent
and able counsel in conducting his de
fence.
The Court which was composed of
nine general officers, at the close of this
prolonged investigation delcared him
guilty of the charges preferred, and
awarded the punishment, which, in their
judgment, was in accordance with the
nature and degree of the offenceecom
mitted, and a careful examination of the
record leaves no room for doubt as to
the validity of the proceedings of the
justice of the findings and sentence.
The following is the President's order
confirming the sentence in this case:
The record, proceedings, finding, and
sentence of the court in the foregoing
case are approved, and it is ordered that
Brigadier General W. A. Hammond,
Surgeon General of the United States
Army, be dismissed the service, and be
forever disqualified from holding any
office of honor, profit, or trust, under
the Government of the United States..
ABRAHAM LINCOI. N.
A SUITOR tO HER MAJESTY.—The
French papers contain the following
odd story: Letters from Abyssinia state
that Theodore, Emperor of that coun
try, has just crowned his imperial eccen
tricities by an act which exceeds them
all in extravagance. Having learned of
the widowhood of Queen Victoria, he
has had a letter written to her, offering
her his hand. Mr. Cameron, the Eng-
lish Consul, was charged to forward this
missive to his sovereign. The reply to
so unforseen an offer not being immedi—
ately forthcoming, the Emperor Theo
dore got angry, and had Mr. Cameron
put in chains until his Majesty should
have obtained satisfaction for such a
want of attennion towards him. On hear
ing of the imprisonment of Mr. Came
ron, her Britanic Majesty is said to have
decided on replying by a polite refusal,
the sending of which by post was more
economic than a special mission to Ab
yssinia.
AMONG the exports of the last week
were tea and coffee to the value of $6BO,
000, and sugar to the amount of $326,
000. The greatly diminished consump
tion of these articles of foreign growth,
which in this country have always hith
erto ranked among the necessaries of
life, shows that the masses are already
beginning to suffer from the burdens of
a war that will, if it last many years
longer, reduce them to the level of the
laboring population of the old world.

HALF FARE.—The Railroad companit s
and Stage lines propose to take those
attending the Chicago Convention for
half fare. That is, they charge full fare
to Chicago, and nothing on the return
passage. This will make the cost light
to attend this great gathering of conserv
ative men to devise means for restoring
peace and saving the Union.

THE: effect of the recall by the British
Government of Gordon, the English
leader of the Imperial forces in China, it
is supposed will be disastrous to the Im
perial cause. When the order of recall
came he had just effected the capture of
Chin-chow. He immediately set about
winding up his accounts and would dis
band his disciplined troops. It was ap
prehended that these mercenaries would
go over in a body to the Taepings and
give a new impulse to the rebellion.
TEE Indian war on the Western front
ier is assuming large proportions. Nu
merous tribes have combined to attack
the whites wherever found. Many fam
ilies have either been slaughtered or
driven from their homes; emigrant
trains have been captured and the emi
grants themselves murdered in various
instances. Depredations are being con
stantly made on the stock, stations and
coaches on the overland route, and, thus
far, the Federal troops have failed to
bring the Indians to battle, unless the
report should prove true of an engage
ment on Knife River, in whtch General
Sully was badly defeated.
STONEWAL JACKSON'S GRAVE.—A
gentleman who was in Crook's expedt•
Lion when it passed through Lexington,
visited the Virginia Military Academy,
which rivals in architettural beauty its
gteat prototype, West Point. One of the
features of the town, he says. is the
grave of Stonewall Jackson, who was
formerly e professor in the Military In
stitute- It is a plain little mound, with
a wooden headboard, and nothing to
mark it from the common, save a pine
flag staff, upon which each morning at
day break the cadets would elevate the
rebel flag and remove it at dark, each
ceremony being accompanied by music
from the band.
Tile "ALABAMA" SWORD —The man

presented to Captain Semmes, for de
fending the honor of his flag so glorious

intrusted to the well-known firm of Elk

design is a very supurb one, the scabbard
being gold, ornamented with the nation
al emblems of England and the Confed
eracy in oxidized silver, enamelled and
jewelled. Surmounting a shield are the
flags of the two countries, with the
words "Peace and Friendship," on the
obverse side, "...4ide-toi, le ciel Caldera."
