The Results of "Rebellion Foretold.
Alexaspee II. Stephens w-js an earnest and
staunch opposer ti secession doctrines. He
could not fail to see the inevitable conse-
, qnences of the measure, though bv a sfranTt
i ..... .
! hallucination he afterwards covered his eyes.
j joiru-d the infatuated company of conspirators
I nga'nst a government which he had just es
j oneratfd from all reproach, and leap'-i into
the very abyss of which he had implored them
to beware. Eere in his speech, dcliv red in
the Convention called to determine if Georgia
should secede, Mr. Stephens said :
"Tlut this step once taken, could r?ver be
recalled; and all the balelul and witherin"
consequences that must follow, (as they would
see,) will rest on the Convention for all com
ing time. When we- a:id onr posterity shall
see our lovely Sooth desolated by the demon
of war which this act of yours will inevitably
invite and call torth ; when onr preen fields
ot waving harvests shall be trodden down by
the murderous soldiery and fiery car of war
aweeping over oar land; onr. temples of jus
tice laid in ashes ; all the horrors and desola
tions of war upon us; who but this Conven
tion will be held responsible for ft 1 and who
but be who shall have given his vote for this
unwise and ill-timed measare, (as 1 honestlv
think, and believe,) shall be held to strict ac
count for this suicidal act, by the present gen
eration, and probably cur ed and execrated
by posterity for all coming time, for the wide
and desolating ruin that will inevitably fol
low his act you now propose to perpetrate T
Pause, I entrpat you, and consider for a mo
meut what reasons you can give that will even
satisfy yourselves in calmer moments what
reasons you can give to your fellow-suffcreri,
m the calamity that it will bring upon us?
What reasons can you give fo the nations of
Lie earth to justify it ? They will 1 the calm
and deliberate judges in the case; and to
what cause or out overt act cn you name or
point, on which to lest the plea of justifica
tion? What tight hs the North assailed.'
What interest of the Souih has be;n invaded?
What justice has bven denied i and what claim
founded in jtistice and right has leen with
held? Can either of you to-day name one
governiental act of wrong, deliberately and
purposely done by the government of Wash
ington, of which the South has a right to com
plain 7 I challenge the answer ! While, on
the other hand, let me show the facts, (and
believe me, gentlemen, I am not here the ad
vocate of the .North ; but I am here the friend,
the firm friend and lover ol the South and her
institutions, and for this reason I apeak thus
plainly and faithfully for yours, mine, and ev
ery other man's interest, the words of trutli
ana soberness,) of which I wish you to judge,
and I will only state facts which are clear and
undi-niable, and which now stand as rocords
authentic in the history of our country.
When we of the South demanded the slave
trade, or the importation of Africans for the
cnllivation of our Iinds, did they not yield
the right for twenty years ? When we asked
a three-fifths representation ii Congress for
our slaves, was it not granted ? When we
asked and deruandod the return of any fugi
tive from justice ,or the recovery of those per.
sons owing labor or allegiance, was it not in
corporated in the Constitution, and again rat
ified and strengthened In the Fugitive Slave
Law of 1S50?
But do you reply that io many instances
they have violated this compact, and have not
been faithful to their engagements ? As in
dividuals and local communities they may
have done so ;"but sot by the sanction of the
government, for that has always been true to
Southern interests. Again, gentlemen, look
t another act : when we have asked that more
territory shonld be added, that we might
spread the institution of slavery, have they
not yielded to our demands in giving ns Lou
isiana, Florida and Texas, out of which four
States have been carved, and ample territory
for four more to be added in due time, if you
by tbis unwise and impolitic act do not de
stroy tbis hope, and, perhaps, by it lose alt,
and have your last slave wrenched from you
by stern military rnle,'as Soutb America and
Mexico were ; or by the vindictive decree of
a universal emancipation, wbicb may reasona
bly be expected to follow 7
; But, again, genHemeD.wbat have we to gain
by this proposed change of our relation to the
general government 1 We have always had
the control of it, and can yet, if we remain in
it, and are as uned as we have been. We
hT bad a minority of tb Presidents chonen
j from the South; as well as the control and
management ot most of those chosen from the
.North. Wc have had sixty years of Southern
Presidents to their twenty-four, thus control
ling the Executive department. So of the
Judges of the Supreme Court, we have had
eighteen from the South, and but eleven from
the North; although nearly foar-fifths of the
judicial business has arisen in the Free States,
yet a majority of the Court has always been
from the Sontb. This we have required so as
to guard against any interpretation of the Con
stitution unfavorable to ns. In like manner
we have been equally watcliful to guard onr
interests in the Legislative branch of govern
ment. In chooing the presiding Presidents
(pro cm.) of the Senate, we hav had twenty
lour to their eleven. Speakers of the House,
we have had twenty-three, and they twelve.
While the nnjirity of tho Representatives,
from their greater population, have always
leen from the North, yet we' have so general
ly secured the Speaker, because he, to a great
extent, shapes and controls the I-g;lation ol
the couutry. Nor hav we had -less control in
every other department of the general gov
ernment. Attorney-Generals we have had
fourteen, while the North have had but five.
Foreign ministers we have hid eighty-six, and
phey but fifty-four. While three fourths of
the business which demands diplomatic agents
abroad is clearly from the F;ee States, from
their greater commercial interests, yet we
have had the principal embassies so as to se
cure the world-markets for our cotton, tobac
co, and sugar on the best possible terms. We
have h id a vast majority of the higher offices
of both army and navy, while a larger propor
tion of the soldiers and sailors were drawn
from the North. Equally so ol Clerks, Audi
tors, and Coruptrol ers filling the Executive
department, the records show for the last fifty
jears that of the three thousand thus employ
ed, we have had more than two-thirds of the
same. while we have but one third of the white
population of tlfe Republic.
Again, look at another item, and one, be
assurt-d, in which we have a great and vital
interest; it is that of revenue, or means ot
supjw.rting government. From official docu
ments, we learn that a fraction .'Ver thrte
fourths of the revenue collected tor the sup
port of government has nnilormly been raised
from the North.
Pause now while you can, gentlemen, and
contemplate careiuliy and candidly these im
portant items. Look at another necessary
branch of government, and learn from'sttrn
statistical tacts l.o-v matters .stand in that de
partment. I mean the mail and Fost Office
privileges that we now enjoy nnder the gene
ral government as it has been for years past.
The exptns" for the transportation of the mail
in the Free States was, by the report of the
Post-Master General for the year lS'iO, a little
over S13.0i) '.00'J. while the income was SI9,
000,000. But in the Slave States the trans
portation of the mail was S14.71G.0O0, while
the revenue from fh-- same was $8,001,026,
leaving a deficit of $0.1 15.723, to be snpplied
by the North for our acci.-nsmodation, and
without it we must have been entirely cut off
from this most essential branch of govern
ment. Leaving out of view, for the present, the
countless millions of dollars yon most expend
in a war with the North; with tens of thou
sands of your sons and brothers slain in bat
tle, and offered up as sacrifices upon the altar
of your ambition. and for what, we ask a
gain ? ft is for the overthrow of American
government, established by onr common an
cestry, cemented and built np by their sweat
and blood, and founded on the brod princi
ples of Right, Justice, and Humanity t And,
as such, I most declare here, as I have often
done before, and which has been repeated by
the greatest and wisest of statesmen and pa
triots in this and other lands, that it is the
best and freest gorernment the most equal ta
t's rights the most just in its decisions the
most lenient in its measures, nnd the most in
spiring in its principles to eierate the race of
men, that the sun of heaven ever shone upon.
Now for you to attempt to overthrow such
a government as this, under wbicb we have
lived for more than three-quarters of a cen
tury" in which we have gained our wealth,
our standing as a nation, our domestic safe
ty while the elements ot peril are around us,
with peace and tranqcility accompanied with
unbounded prosperity and rights nnassailed
is the height of madness, folly and wicked
ness, to which I can neither lend my tanc
tion nor my vote."
A very eroneons idea is indulged in by ma
ny people in relation to the largest city in
the world many confidently asserting that
London, or, as it Is frequently termed, the
Great Metropilis, is far superior both In size
and number of its inhabitants. But such is
not the case. Jedo, the capitol of Japan, is
without any exception, tbe largest and most
populous city in the world. It contains the
vast number of one million of dwellings and
five millions of human souls. Many of the
streets are nineteen Japan seria in length,
which is equivalent to twenty-two English
miles.
Commodore Footk died at his bonse in Con

A DODGE TO ESCAPE THE DSAFT.
A very amiable and excellent Quartermaster
belonging to our army, and whose residence
is In our present neighborhood.at Miilerstown,
relates the following incident, which will ad
mit of a repetition :
"It seems that, while the rebel Jenkins with
his cavalry were in occupation of the above
named town some dozen of the male inhabi
tants thereof voluntarily surrendered them
selves to him, and at the same time statine
that they desired to be paroled, in order that J
they might have sufficient reason for not com
plying with the expected Draft, should they
oe smong the number drafted.
Jenkins, upon questioning them in refer
ence to their political sentiments, ten stattd
that they were Copperheads, while two b-ddly
avowed themselves Union men. The ques
tion was asked of :hese ten which they would
rather fight for, Jeff. Davis or Lincoln each
of whom answered, for Davis. Upon this he
called ten of his orderlies, ordered them to
dismount, and told the ten Coperheads to
mount, come with him to his c imp, and be
would arm and equip them.
The matter assuming so much of a serious
form, the whole ten, in an earnest manner,
"begged off." Jenkins Itt them go, and with
the remark that had they such among them in
the South, every "mother's son' of them
would le shot without judge or jury, and con
eluding with the remark that he honored the
tru out spoken Union men, but that he loath
ed such detestable traitors as themselves.
These ten, we are toid.are among the mark
ed and numbered."
EIGHT AT DOXALDSOSVILL:, LA.
On Saturday, the 27th, the en emy, estima
ted in force between two and three thousand
came to Donaldsonvi lie, Louisiana, and de
manded at 5 p. m, the unconditional surren
der of the place, which was gallantly refused
by the litte garrison, numbering less than
200. The enemy made the attack at 12 o'
clock at night, and after severe fighting for
neany four hours, 200 of them succeeded in
gaming possession of th9 works ; but were
ultimately gallantly repulsed by onr men, and
the whole 200 taken prisoners the remainder
of the torce being pot to flight. The number
lof killed and wounded was rriore than the en
tire number of our garrison, which will give
some idea of the bloody nature or tbis con
test.
Among the prisoners werefonnd more than
three Hmcs the number of commissioned offi
cers on their side than conld be found in our
whole garrison.
Just as our army had succeeded in repuls
ing the enemy and holding possession of the
works, the gunboat Princess Royal a captured
prize in running the blockade came to the
scene of action, literally covering the earth,
s far as the eye could see, with the dead
and wounded.
It has been well said that "the idea of
country, of loving the country, which these
days have inspired, is worth more than the
cotton crop of a thousand years, or the mere
earthly, unmentioned life of a million of men
Thought, sentiment, convictions, make the
glory of a people. And the tokens on every
hand of our devotion to our beloved land are
a pledge ot the glory and power of the repub
lic." This is a great truth which we have
perhaps too much overlooked, lending our
ears too much to those who foretell evil and
disa&ter, and are foi ever croaking about dis
honesty and corruption. We honestly belie
ved that never did a people, suddenly thrown
into a state of war, make auch immense efforts
to meet the emergency with so much hones
ty and true patriotism, and with so little ad
mixture of those social evils which war al
ways brings with it, especialy in its early
stage.
As Incident. The Indianapolis Journal
tells the following good story of Peter Ap
ple : Peter Apple, of Oakland, in this coun
ty was lately recrnited for the Eleventh In
diana and took part in the attempt to storm
one of the Vicksburg batteries. The rebel
fire was so destructive that our army recoiled.
Apple, tbe raw recruit,' 'did'nt see the back
ward movement, and kept going ahead until
be came right np to one of the rebel guns,
caught a gunner by the collar, and brought
him within our lines, saying: 'Boys, why
didn't you come on 7 Every fellow might have
got one.' We have heard of no more daring
act of bravery than this little incident since
tbe war began.".
Freaks ' of the Draft. Two Catholic
clergymen, including Rev. Father Brady,
hav.s been drafted in Boston. Six or seven
persons connected with the Boston press have
been ordered to shoulder muskets or pay $300.
Among others drafted are Milton Andros, U
nlted States District Attorney ; Charles F.
Blake, Provost Marshal General ; Wm. Mitch
ell, armorer of A. and H. artillery, and three
persons of the name of John Smith.
Two Little Girls to be Remembered. A
correspondent, giving an account of the re
ception of our troops at Westminster, Md.,
says: "Little Miss Fanny and Anna Troxell,
tbe whole day long of the 2d, remained in
front of their father's bouse, and with their own
bands snpplied with coo! fresh water all troops
that passed that way."
A ST0EY OF GEAKT.
The hero veteran, who was citiren, captain,
colonel, brigadier and major general, within
a space of nine months, though a rigid dis
ciplinarian, and a perfect ironsides ia the
discharges of his official duties, conld enjoy a
good joke, and is always ready to perpetrate
one wh.-n an opportunity presents. Indeed,
among his acquaintances, he is much renown
ed for bis ecceatric humor, as he is for bis
skill and bravery as a commander.
When Grant was a brigadier in southeast
Missouri, he commanded an expedition against
the rebels under Jeff. Thompson, in northeast
Arkansas. The distance from the starting
point of the expedition to the suppossed ren
dezvous of the rebels was about one hundred
and ten rtnles, and the greater portion of the
route lay through-a howling wilderness. The
imaginary suflering that our soldiers endured
during the first two davs of their march
as enormous. 1 1 was imposibie to Meal or
"confiscate" uncultivated real estate, and not
a hog, or a chicken or an ear of corn, was
anywhere to be seen. On the third day. bow.
ever, affairs looked more hopeful, for. a few
small specks of ground, in a state of partial
cultivation, were here and there visible. On
that diy Lieutenant Wickfield , of an Indiana
cavalry regiment, commanded the advance
gnard. consisting of eight mounted men.
About noon he came up to a small farm bouse,
from the outward appearance of which he
judged that there might lie something fit to
eat inside. He halted his company, demoun
ted, and with two second lieutenants entered
the dwelling. He knew that Grant's incipi
ent lame had already gone out through all
that country, and it occurred to him that by
representing himself to be the General he
might obtain the best the house aflorded. So,
assuming a very imperative demeanor, he ac
costed the inmates of the house, and told
them he must have something for himself
and staff to eat. They desired to know who
he was, and he told them that be was Bbriga
dier General Grant. At that name they flew
around with alarming alacrity, and served up
alxMit all they had iu the house, taking great
pains all the while to make loud professions
of loyalty. The lieutenants ate as much as
they could of the not over sumptuous meat,
but which was, nevertheless, good for that
country, and demanded what was to par.
Nothing." And went on their way rejoic
ing. In the meantime General Grant, who had
baited his army a few miles further back for
a resting spell, came in sight of, and was
favorably impressed with the appearance of,
this same Lous-. Riding up to the fence
in front of the door, he desired to know if they
would cook him a meal.
"No" said a female in a gruff voice, "Gen.
Grant and his staff have just been here and
eaten everything in the house except one
pumpkin pie."
"Humph!" murmured Grant; "what is
you name 1"
"Selvidge," replied the woman.
Casting a half-dollar in at the "door, he
asked if she would keep that pie till he sent
an officer for it, to which she replied that she
would.
That evening, after the camping ground
had been selected, the various regiments were
notified that there won Id be a grand parade
at Half past six, for orders. Officers would
see that their men all turned out, Ste
in five minutes the Camp was in a perfect
uproar, and filled with all sorts of rumors.
Some thought the enemy was upon them, it
being so unusal to have parades when on a
march.
At half past six the parade was formed ;
ten columns deep, and nearly a quarter of a
m iie in length.
After the usual routine of ceremonies, fhe

PLEASURE
Pleasure is one of the brightest lllumlna
tives that has ever been placed within th'
grasp of humanity. Without it, man is un
done, life is a burden ; sorrow, vexation and
toil, are man's chief employments. Our first
parents were in possession of this blest boor,
while in the garden of Eden : ther loved it ;
and though sufficient was granted them, still
they craved more. They felt its benigh nr
er, and knew it was calculated to cheer their
hearts. To them it was bonne bouche. It
was not given them as a transient enjoyment J
but of infinite duration. Bnt disobedience
stretched out Its sin-stained arm and plueked
the forbidden frnit; persuaded Eve to taste
of its delicious flavor : conseqnentlv. the nen
! altv annexed to the transrj.oih ni nwt' i
aw
was inflicted. Death, with all its woes, was
entailed. The seed of mortality was planted
in the bosom pleasure, and it, with at: crea
tion, was tainted by the fall. And, from that
time till the present day,
There never has been found way.
To bind sweet pleasure to the heart.
That it from as. cannot depart.
'Tis true, tbe giddy and the gay.
Have veritured to eontrieve a way ;
Put all in vain ; because Uod's ire
Iemanded pleasure to eir.ira!
Then eease it must.tbongb worlds should lend
Their aid to save it from an end.
Hut there's a place beyond the skiea,
W here pleasure never, never dies:
Then live to tiod while here we stay.
And after death we"ll soar away.
To those bright realms; and join the throng.
With those who have before ns gone.

Mr. Claiborne F. Jackson, the last elected
Governor or Missouri, bo was chosen aa a
Donglas Democrat, bnt who became a Jeff ."
Davis traitor and died a fugitive and exile from
the State, which, had he remained loyal, be
would have continued to govern, in a disunion
manifesto at the ontset of the rebellion, thus
elucidated tbe philosophy of the case :
"Tbe destiny of the slaveholdiog States la
one and the same. So long as a Slate continues
to maintain Slavery triihin her limits, it u im
possible to seperate her fate from that of her sis
ter Slates icho hare the same Social Orcaiiza
tion."
We wish onr "conservative" friends who
are trying to nphold at once the Union and
Slavery would ponder the above words. ' Tbe
whole philosophy of th Rebellion and of -'
mancipation as its radical cure is enfolded in
those words.
The Sfktisests or a Tbaitor. While th
rebels were in possession of Carlisle they naed
the office of the American Democrat fo print
their "orders," "blanks," ice. Before Ihey
evacuated the office, Capt. J. H. Gorman, Co.
C. 2d N. C. Troop, "set up" and left in a
af ick the following as expressive' of his sen
timents: "I am in for the war, or !ill death ; am in
favor of peace, only on tbe basis of eternal
seperation ; would rather see the Land of Dix
ie a boundless desert, its male citizens rottfeg
on battle fields, its mothers and dacghters
perishing with hnnger and its children owl
casts and beggars in a strange land, than ac
cept a peace on any other terms. I would aa
soon fraternize with tbe damned of bell, aa
tbe canting hyiiocritea of the North, and bad
I Omnipotent power wonld build a gulf of Hre
as boundlegs as Immensity between the two
nations that are now arrayed ia arms against
each other."
Such a manifestation in "type" mnst have
been cheering for the copperbeadiam of the
Democrat proprietors.
On board the rebel steamer Atlanta, when
she was captnred by tbe Weehawfcen, there was
a chicken. When the rebel Captain Webb
gave np his sword, the chicken set np a lively
crow, which so amused Captain Rogers thaC
be gave orders for the fowl to be looked af
ter in futnte.
"Oh, papa, Doctor March bad snch a hard
work to pull mother's tooth oot.-
"Had he, my son ?"
Tea, I see him try if with his pinchers,
then he put his month right np to mothers,
and jiulled it oat with bis teeth."
A New Sect "Well, Jane this is a queer
