Th® Abolition papers are still howling
because of General McClellan’s con
struotion of the Chicago platform; and
some ruffian writer through the Pitts
burgh Commercial charges the venerable
Judge Wilkins with falsehood, because
he endorses nur candidate’s interpreta
- tio “ of that document. What do these
Abolition ruffians want? do they desire
to interpret the Chicago platform to snit
themselves, and then hold General Mc-
Clellan to their construction of it* It
wonld seem so.
Aeecsscd.
The Baltimore Convention, which
nominated Lincoln, put in its platform
a plank about the Monroe Doctrine,
which he repudiated, and another call
ing upon him to remodel his Cabinet
which he has not'heeded. Had- not our
Abolitionists who are so much troubled
about McClellan’s'lnterpretatiou of the
Chicago platform, make their buffoon
candidate conform do the requirements
of their own?
J A corrcspijndent notices the accession
[of Capt. Samuel Harper to the Aboli-
I tion ranks; this is a mistake. After the
I terrible battles, under Burnsides and
| Hooker, when things were entirely too
I hot for carpet warriors, Harper wrote
I home to the leading Abolitionists here,
[ promising that if they would secure
[ him a' furlough to corns home, he would
take the stump for Gov. Curtin. The
Abolitionists of course procured the fur
lough; Sam came home and did take the
[ stump for CurtiO. What is still more,
Sam has remained at home, receiving
nice pay and rations for doing nothing.
But before starting for the army he must
of course make a ( speech for Lincoln,
which he expects to procure for him not
only promotion In the service, but
another furlough when he desire it. So
tye go In this war of Abolitionism.
| The Abolition, press after laboring to
[.prove that Valandigham’s opposition to
[ McClellan was sure to defeat him, now
I declare that it Was all a trick and that
| Val is for him. The amount of the mat-
I ter. is simply that the Abolitionists
[ already small defeat, and hence these
-contradictions. No one
man, nor, a thousand men,were they ah
. Valandighams could stay the impetuous
and resistless popularity of McClellan;
he is far iriore important to political as- •
pirants, than they,, can he to him. How
is the time for politicians to float into
importanceupon the McClellan tide;
let them endeavor to resist it and they
are lost.

Improved Arms Equal to an In
! ’ dressed Array: /
The English are arming a’.l their in
fantry with breech-loading rifles, which
is said to be equivalent to increasing the
force five fold. "Our army is of immense
size, hut it is doubtful if it could be
kept up to its presert standard with two
orthree years more of war. An army
larger thnn 500,000 men cannot be main -
tained out of.a population of twenty
three millions or people, and still keep
the necessary occupations agoing which
the wants of such a population require
Instead, therefore, of seeking to keep
up overgrown armies, the attention of
the Government should be directed to
making the best use of the number we
have, by arming them with the ' most
efficient weapons, and training soldiers
tow to use them with the most effect
Rifles are the most certain in execution
of all small arms, but then men should
be taught to fire with them accurately'by
frequent practlco. Without this skill' in
their use, rifles are no better than other
guns. Half the time that is devoted to
teaching the manual of arms, would
make out soldiers excellent marksmen
and the ability to hit, with certainly, the
object.aimed at would, increase more
than five fold the efficiency of small
arms in a battle. This would save an
immense amount of ammunition, for
now, to every shot which hits, there aru
many which take no effect at all from
the random firing of our troops. The
execution would not only be greater
but it would'he directed with certainty’
where it would have the most effect as
in picking off the officers, the loss’ of
Whom, is very apt to throw troops into
confusion, and certainly renders them
less effective for want of intelligent di
rection and leading example. Breech
loading or repeating rifles are
much more easily handled, loaded
and fired quicker than muzzle-loaded
armband in proportion to .quickness in
firing and accuracy in the shot is the ef
ficiency of the troop*. A force of a
thousand men armed with Spencer’s re
peater, or Sharp’s breech loader, would
be equivalent to five thousand shooting
with the ordinary musket and in the or
dinary hap-hazard way. It iB juit. as
-easy to learn men to use these effect! ve
arms las it is any other gun, besides
there is greater safety in jthem. A sol
dier does not have to expose himself in
loading them, as he doaa with a rnnzzlc
ioadlnggun, the movements required f. >r
which latter present so many opppotuni
ties to tempt the skill of a sharpshooter.
A soldier who learns the true usee of a
gun and prides himself upon his skill as
a marksman, will take better care of his
arms. He knows what he is capable of
doing wilh his rifle; how valuable it is
to protect him, and he would never
throw it away on the battle-field on a
reverse or a retreat, the very first thing
an unskillful soldier does with his gun
because he does not know how to use it’
and regards it only as an incumbrance
in a retreat in which he ia closely press
ed by an enemy. The war has
led to the adoption of many mechanical
Improvements which have given increas
ed efficiency to the army and navy, but
the use of breech-loading rifles instead
ol the musket and training each soldier
to Are accurately with it have not yet
impressed themselves sufficiently strong
upon those who conduct pur military
affairs. England is taking a stop in the
right direction, and with her numerous
volunteer rifle corps, who practice firing
at a target weekly, she will have an ef
ficient and formidable body of troops at
her command in the event of war.
Sad Occubbence.— The Hagerstown
(Md.,) Mail states that a sad occurrence
took place near Tilghmantown, ia that
county, on the 19th instant, resulting in
the death of two sons of Mr. Joseph
Palmer, aged respectively nine and
eleven years. It appears that one of
them picked up a soldier’s gun, but, was
requested to lay it down, as it was dan
) gerous for him to handle it. In comply
ing with the request the lock Btruck'the
floor and the rifle was discharged, the
ball passing through the bowels Of both
the bpys. instftntily killing the eldest one.
The youngest,#in great pain, survived
forty .eight , hours, when the wound
proved fatal. What a warnins this is

was orderedinto active service . in, the

sons, the third member of the commit
tee,-was the next victim, and with him
fell Brigadier-General Tower, ns will be
seen by the following statement,taken
front this week’s Army and Navy Jour
nal; *■;
“We made the brief announcement
last week, that Brigadier General Cul
lum had been ordered to West Point, to
relieve Brigadier General Tower, as su
-1 permtendent of the Military Academy.
The latter gentleman it is well known,
bad but a few weeks previously been
assigped to the position from which he
was relieved, and it was very evident
that some nnusual circumstance had oc
curred to procure the hasty change which
was made. We, however, forbore ad
ding anything to the mere statement of
the transfer ol officers, awaiting the far
mer development of the, caqsea of the
action of the Secretary of war. 'These
causes, as my explained to us, are as
follows: General ToWer had convened
a court-martial to try one ol the cadets
on certain charges, assigning Lieuten
ant C. C. Parsons, of the Fourth artille
iy, one of the corps of instruction of the
Academy, as judge Advocate. The-Sec
retary of War, learning these' facts,“or
dered a suspension ot the trial; exactly
on-what grounds we ar«mot informed.
General Tower, after examining the au
thority-on the subject, deemed it proper
to disregard the Secretary’s order, as
issued in opposition to law and prece
dent; and the trial proceeded. There
upon Mr. Stanton promptly relieved him
ot the Superintendency, and General
Cullum was sent to the Point. We un
derstand that, at the same time. Lieu
tenant Parsons was dismissed the ser
vice.”
“This statement of facts we give as it
comes to ns, and meat delay any ex
pression of opinion on the merits of the
case until.we have fuller and more au
thentic particulars. It iB not necessary
to say that General Tower is an officer
of untarnished reputation, and that
I.ieutenant Parsons.hears a high charac
ter for professional attainmontß, and is
a thorough officer and gentleman. His
dismissal Irom the service will strike
every one who knows him with the
greatest surprise.”
We may add that Lieutenant Parson’s
special offense was his agency in get
ting the official copy of the oration, and
ceremonies attending the battle monu
ment inauguration, printed in handsome
style by Bheldon & Co., and circulated
among the officers of the regular regi
ments in the army.
The Arrest of the Editor of the Gal
latin County Democrat.
On Friday, the 19th instant, as wo
were bitting quietly in our office attend
ing to our own business, our office was
surrounded by a squad of soldiers, under
command of Lieutenant J. E.. Chapman
of the 139th Illinois. The Lieutenant
with his men rushed into our office, and
tol lus that he was ordered to arrest tns
and tike us to General Paine, then
Casseyville, Kentucky. We remonstra
ted with the Lieutenant, telling him that
he certainly had no authority to- arrest
us and carry Us oat of the State; thatmy
Wife wat lying dangerously ill: and that,
under.the circumstances. we Would Leg
him to take our parole of honor to report
at Paducah at any, designated time; but
all to no purpose. Myself and-printer
were hurr.ed aboard some transports
(some seven in number) then lying at
the wharf loaded with soldiers, whose
ostensibleipurpose was tp eflfect the; ar.
rest of myself, printer, and E. F. Arm
string.. After we were placed under
strict guard, and were soon on our wav
to Paducah. 1
ArrivCd there Sunday morning,, we
were taken ashore and paraded through
the principal streets, evidently to the de
light of those that had us arrested, and
Uie .negro soldiers particularly, ; who
seemed to havte special orders to taunt ns
'with opprobrious epithets. Wo were
finally brought before one Major Batt
ling, Provost Marshal of Paducah, who
without any ceremony whatever, order
ed us to the military prison. We were
then marched through the streets to the
prison; and, arriving there, were thrust
into prison (amidst the yeils and taunts
of negro soldiers), containing some flrty
or sixty persons—some citizens, some
guerrillas, some rebel soldiers, some de
serters from the Federal army, some ne
gt> Soldiers, and some for stealing &c.
ere we were kept in Kith and privation :
until 10 o’clock Tuesday morning, when -
we were called for and taken into the :
.presence o£ Gen. Paine,, who - hailed us <
with, “lamgoing to send you d— d '
sons of b—s home.” Here ended the '
whole affair, adding but another to the I
great list of publiewrongs done to pri
vate citizens by those who had solemnly
sworn to protect and defend them.
General Paine told us we were charg
ed with being a member of the Sons of
Liberty. This was the only charge
agtnfet us—which was got substantiated,
and our release followed as a matter of
course.
The whole thing may be summed up
in a nut-shell thus: Some four or five
low, dirty ‘ Abolition thieves of this
place by swearing to things they knew to
be false, and by making false statements,
succeeded in having Itsarrested for ndth!

Germans must be crazy to slight British
andJFrench beggars, and go begging,
themselves, to , America. Are they
crazy? ,We asked ‘Tod?EidJiard what-he
thought about it. “Why,” said he;
“how can they be crazy, when they are
doing just what I did a little more than
a year ago, Wben Ipufcmy''Jittle savings
into Government Six per ' cents? Now
see what I got by it; just count up. I
have received six per cent, in gold,
which .averaged 100 per cent, in
currency,?/!- unakhig per cent,
income. Now, to-day, my bond
is salable in the New York market at
10 per cent, premium. Put these t<>
get her, and to-day J bayq,i22 percent,
ior one-year’s use of my tdbney 1 What
do you think of that? You know, as
well as I do, that there are thousands 6f
people who. did this, and to*day they
have 22 percent, on their/in vestments.
Why, I saw Miss Jones, our school
mam, go to the bank and buy a $5OO
bond. How she got the money I don’t
know, hot thsse..Yankee schoolmistres
ses are first-rate-hands it taking care of
themselves. Well, now, count up. If
Miss Jones sells her bonds, to-day she
gets her $5OO back safe, and she gets
$llO clear gain. Can you sharp fellows
down there in Williamsjreet do any bet
ter? Yotrfcridw I told Mr.’ Sinith, the
banker, my ideas about that, and he
bought $5,000 six per cent, bonds, and
yousee he got $l,lOO fpr a year’s use of
6iS piOney, .- For taypart, ,1 mein to buy
some of the 7:30,5. Tho rate of interest
is high enough, and in three years they
.will turn into six per cent, bonds again
Yes, Mr. Smith, it is right, on the money I
Side; bat, it 6 right on the cduritry's side
too. H-lp your couutry, or it can’t help
you. Now, I say the Germans are not
only right. bHt they would be right if
they got half that interest. They, can
not inake a quarter of it at home.” So
thought Poor Bichard, and bo think we.
When we think of the German opinion'
of our situation and our financial
strength, we must remember (hat’they
are far better judges of our condition
than we are, or our enemies are. They
are lookers on, at a great .dis
tance. They have none of’ ‘ our
enmities or predjudices. They can
examine the facts disinterestedly. They
do; and the result is a verdict that the
American Government is Btable—its
ability and integrity in meeting its finan
cial engagements unquestionable. This
'Verdict, too, is. founded ban series of
facts which are unimpeachable, and
well known to every intelligent Ameri
can. Tako two or three of the most im
poitant: 1. The United States doubles
its population each twenty.flve years.
The population of, the cquntry; • (which
in 1850 was twenty-three millions, will '
in 1882 be forty-six millions. But the
rebellion! says sotae ofae. How much
has the rebellion diminished the
strength of the-United’States? Take
this astonishing fact, that Hall the rebel
States had been ; sunk, in the Pacific
Ucean, the United States would in 1875
have a population equal to that of the
whole in 1860. In other words, fifteen
years will supply the total loss of the j
eleven original States! What can im
pede the progress of such a country?- 2.
The wealth of the country'increased 127
per cent in ten years! Now let it in
crease but 80 from 1860 to 1870, and it
will apjotlnl to ten times all limns of
the Government. The German knows
what he is about. He will get the
largest mt-onte from loabs in the world
on the Barest security. No such oppor
tunity has occurred before ifori the in
vestment of money, and in all probabil
ity will never occur again. If the
American does not know nttd iake ad
vantage of this, the German and French,
man will.— Examiner .
A Military Execution near Alex
andria, Virginia."'
Private Samuel W. Downing, alias
John W. Ball, Co. H». 4th. Maryland in
tantry, was executed on Friday last for
desertion and bounty jumping, It ap
pears, from DnVAi ng’a ww fcbli fession,
made befoie Colonel Wells, Provost Mar’
shal General, that be enlisted in the 4th
Maryland in August, 1861, and since
then had deserted and ! re-enlisted, or
joined the army as a substitute, seven
teen times. The amount of bounty and
substitute money he has received foots
up a grand total of $8 650.
Downing was arrested while at the
provost marshal’s offlcs in Baltimore
where hs had gone to re-enlist for the
eighteenth time.—From Baltimore he
was sent to Camp Distribution, near this
city was from there soon transferred to
the Green prison on Fairfax street,
where he remained nntil after Mb trial.

Odd Fellows, Hall, and daring the last
days of his imprisonment was confined
for better security in the county jail.
The execution took place on the com
mon northwest of the city, near Sickle
Barracks. The prisoner was marched
into the square at fifteen minntes past
eleven, accompanied by tbe brigade band
pi lying a solumn dirge, the Provost Mar
shal, Uapt. Uwynne, ministers and
guard. M the conclusion of the read
lng of the lent* n e by’the Provost Mar
shal, the prisoner spoke as follows, in a
loud, clear voice:
“Well soldiers, suppose I’ve got to-be
executed, and I reckon it’s all right. All
1 ve got to say is, to do your duty to
your country faithfully. I was once
color sergeant of the Pennsylva
nia, and an honorable man, but I have
disgraced myself and now have to die
fcr.it. Yon had better work for one
dollar a day all your lives than act as I
6 ' lA m twe nty thousand
dollars, but l am to be executed, and! it
won tdo me any good. Take my ad
vice then, and, let jirostltutea alone—
bounues wpn’t d 0 you any more good
1n the long run than they have me
Serve your couutry-faithfuliy and take a
httm wkisky now and then—it won’t
hurt yout—l haven’t got'time to sivy
anything more. Good-bye. „
~ *k ere was__ any.aympathy felt fcr
•the prisoner before this speech-was made
it was all gone ,Dy the time of its close.
Alter an exhortation..and prayer by the
ministers in attendance, he Was seated
Mi cQffln, with his face to
the East, and blindfolded. Not a mas
cle was seen to move, but to the last
be braved death as "one who bad fully
made up his mind ia die. Exactly at
12 plclock m., Captain. Gwypne, gave
the Order to fire, and the prisoner was
lannched into that efernity for which be
seeded to have so little dread.— Al«an
