IVeiv Volume.
To our Patrons, Greeting :
With this numbsr of The Alleghanian
a new Volume commences Volume 4.
During the exciting and eventful period
of the past three years a period in which
our land has been the theater of convul
sions of nnequalled magnitude and of in
calculable import our paper has firmly
held on the even tenor of its way, and
now stands forth a success. The turning
point of its existence has been safely
passed the dangerous shoals of public
opinion have been weathered and we
now sail on a smooth tea, with a clear sky
overheard and auspicious breezes around.
To be brief, we have succeeded in achiev
ing a permanent "habitation and name."
All of which is eminently gratifying to us
as a public caterer, and to you, kind pa
tron, as an adherent in our behalf.
The" billows of antagonistic partisan fury
may, and are hereby affectionately invited i
to, lash themselves against our timbers j
wi:h as perfect a degree of looseness as j
can be conveniently attained for "squelch-j
in;
as
applied
matter '
to us, is just at
present a
nottlown in the fig- ;
ures.'
.Thre yours ! A long time, in this
hurrying, bustling old world of ours, to
be sure ! What changes, what revolu
tions and counter-revolutions in thought
and opinion, what ups and downs, and
variations, and alterations in the order of
matters and things have been experienced
during their flight ! The sun has risen
and set on many great and wonderful
events, but on none of more portentous
magnitude than those of late transaction
ar:d :he end is not vet 1 No matter
wc still live, and moralizing a vaunt!
As regards the uecess of cur labors in ,
a moral and political point of view we will
ny nothing. The facts and statistics may
speak for themselves. In another point
of view, however, we may be pardoned for
obitiving that The Alleghanian is now !
established on a firmer and more prosper
ous basis than ever before. We have ad
ded the names of over one hundred new
subscribers to oar books during the past
year, and the cry is Still they come!
This shows a keen appieciation in the
inblic and more especially in the public
of the little Mmfctain County for that
l.jch is (.Tthod'.'X in jrincip'w', anl pi-
rjuant, jnicy, a ni fable, highly-cultivated,
and otherwise eminently excellent, sound,
Ngood aud true iu general contour as ap
plied toTiterature and news.
In the future, as in the past, onr motto
will be "Excelsior," or, in plain English,
Cl'lany! So that, a favorable opportuui-
i ty will be afforded for keeping up the
j usual amouut of aforesaid appreciation a? j
we ambulate.
To revert : We made mention a para
j graph back that we were being crowded
I and jostled by a swarm of new subscribers,
i The object of these few lines is to inform
j those interested in our welfare that we
, are in no serious danger therefrom. We
think we are perfectly competent tu with
stand any pressure that may be brought
to bear upon us from that quarter. Try
it on, at any rate !
In conclusion. We always have been,
and always expect to be, the friend of Re
publican men and measures, and will yield
them our hearty support. We are for the
Union and the Constitution without an if
or a tut, and desire to see the Laws exe
cuted at all hazards. The Slaveholders'
j Rebellion must be put dowu the quicker
the better and we are in favor of the use
of any means looking toward that end.
Furthermore, when the stripes come to be
applied to the backs of the Rebel-Traitors
for their deviljsh wickedness in attempt
ing to dismember the best Government on
the face of the earth, we sincerely hope
and pray that a reasonable share may be
meted out to those miserable creatures in
the North their adherents who amuse
themselves by grumbling and growling at
each successive official tightening of the
noose by the Administration.
Courteous reader, we salute you !
Surrender of Harper's ferry.
The surrender of Harper's Ferry is the
subject of much comment both among the
press and the people of the country. It
is alleged that Col. Miles confessed on his
death-bed that the act was one of treachery
that he. had surrendered to the rebels
after an understanding, and of course for
a price. This Col. Miles was one of the
officera who disgraced himself at Bull
Run. On that occasion he was drunk,
and absolutely refused to move with the
reserve which he was then commanding, to
the relief of the main body of the army,
Struggling with such great odds against
it, on that bloody occasion. It is main
tained by the friends of Miles, that the
evacuation of Maryland Heights compell
ed the 8ui render of Harper's Ferry. Be
that as it may, the israee is still the
same the country has been betrayed, and
the energy, and patience, and devotion of
the people put to the rack once more
iu being compelled silently to observe
such transaction?, and not being allowed
to express their indignation, for fear it
might appear that demoralization had
commenced where this Government
looked for it3 main stay and support.
Ever since" this war commenced, the
army has been cursed with this class of
men. First, those who were known to
sympathize with the South, but who were
supposed to be honorable and chivalrous
men and upon whom the service depend
ed for success. It was maintained before
the publia that we could not do without
such men hat it was necessary to hubmit
to some of their peculiarities, in order
that the general cause might succeed.
confiding, a loyal people were willing to
swallow this but the fact, that in private
the highest officer of the Government
frankly expressed the lack of confidence
in these men, was never allowed to go
! before the people. This was suppressed
i the people were not allowed to criticise
the officer, until the awful crime of his
treason paralyzed their judgment and their
sentiment, and they could not do other
wise than hear and see in silence. Add
to this humiliation the fact, that there
are others in high command, or at least
were, who were constantly drunk drunk
when the details of thtir army corps
needed their attention drunk when the
hour of battle arrived drunk when the
battle raged drunk all the time, and j-et
j they were continued in position of absolute
' il, 4 11 1
power over thousand of men, allowed to
deal with them for life or death, as the
whim of a drunken fit dictated, or the
frenzy of the hour suggested. The country
is no louder dumb on these accusations.
They are re-iterated in the letters of cor
respondents who write from the localities
where the drunken scenes and traitorous
deeds occur, and yet we have no reform
the battle gces on, the defeat disgraces
the country and still the debauch and
the trcasou are unabated and" unrebuked.
God have mercy for the peopls and
the natron, until all thpsj things arc
changed.-

"Suppress the Abolitionists'
This is the cry of some people at the
present time, but it is au exceedingly ab
surd cry, and this is so well shown up in
a late number of Harper's WeeTzly, that
we cop3 therefrom as follows. Says the
writer :
"Let " us suppress the Abolitionists,"
cries some slack-witfed oiator, "and the
rebellion will end !" Of course it will,
you dear soul : and if all your fellow citi
zens had been of your calibre and kidney,
there wou'd have been no rtbcllion at all.
If Hampden and his friends had said "Let
us suppress these fellows who' cry out
against ship money," England would qui
etly have submitted to the tyranny of the
Stuarts. If Otis and Patrick Henry had
shouted, "Hurrah for King George and
the Stamp act !" there would have been
no bloody Revolution. If Mirabeau and
the French people bad bellowed, "Hur
rah for starvation ; aristocrats forever !''
all the trouble in France would have
speedily ended. To be sure, every right
would have been annihilated, every liberty
destroyed, and a few rich and remorseless
people would have governed France ; but
there would have been uo difficulty t-xcept
moral rot and general national decay.
"Let us suppress the Abolitionists !"'
But suppose you begin at the beginning.
i."": ... .1..
people of the country ; and then you may
subdue those those who influence it.. It
is not what you call, with an amusing per
sistence, Abolitionism, which caused the
war, but the opening of the eyes of the
people so that they saw. The people of
this country know perfectly well that
slavery is at the bottom of this rebellion.
If thero had been no slavery there would
have been no war; just as there would
have been no Abolitionism. The temper
ance movement springs from drunkenness ;
and when a drunken man tries to kill his
wife, don't you think the teetotalers are
responsible for it?
Slavery was trying to kill the country.
It had almost succeeded. " Watch ! watch !"
shouted the Abolitionists. Slavery, mad
dened that its crime was discovered, shot
and stabbed right and left. "There !
there I" cry the sensible WicklilTe. and
Company "this comes of calling the
watch ? Why the devil can't you hold
your tongues ? Let us suppress these fel
lows that cry wateh ! watch ! and all will
be quiet again '" .
Certainly ; a dead dog or.a dead nation
arc both perfectly quiet. A nation of
freemen throttled, with its own consent,
by a slave system like ours, is the deadest
and meanest of all dead dogs I
He ware of Intrigue.
The dodge bv which the Republican leaders
in this county, are endeavoring to compro
mise with Democrats, won't win. We have
already noticed some instances of this kind ;
of Democrats boins: called to one side and
told "it you vote for our man Hall we will
vote for your man M' Aliister." We hope
there are no Democrats so silly as to be thus
palavered and inveigled. We warn them,
however, against this and like tricks which
will be attempted by the Abolitionists this
fall. We want no compromise or amfilgation
with the Abolition party. We do not, if wc
stand firm, need their assistance to el"ct Mr.
M'Aflistcr, or any other candidate, especially
when it involves the defeat of William A.
Wallace, who is too good a man to be sacri
ficed. Dern. y Sent.
Our esteemed and faithful friend of the
Democrat & Sentinel seems to express a
great deal of anxiety lest some of their
silly Democrats (as he sees fit to call them)
may be palavered and inveigled intp voting
for Mr. Hall for Senator. Xow, friend
James, don't put yourself to any extra
uneasiness about tho matter, for wo hrmly
believe the Republicans ueed not resort to
any such tricks to insure 31 r. Hall a
triumphant election. If we recollect
aright, Mr. Hall's majority three years
ago, was some eight hundred; and we are
sure if the Republicans of this Senatorial
district do their duty on the second Tues
day of October, he will be again elected
by an. increased majority, without the aid
of any such trickery. The caution given
by the ostensible editor of the D mormt &
Stntiii'1 is unnecessary and uuculied for.
Although Mr. Blair t not have been
the choice of many of the Republicans of
this Congressional district, yet we believe
that in an emergency like the present,
when our couutry needs true aud patriotic
men in cur National Legislature men
that will stand by the President, the
Union and the Constitution the Re
publicans of this Congressional district
will do their duty at the polls, on the sec
ond Tuesday of October next.
Are You Assessed f
Those who desire to vote at the coming
election should sec to it that they are as
sessed in due season. .This must be done
at least ten days before the election. Io
I not forget it.
Emancipation.
The rebellion is at an end ! The Pres
ident has done a good deed,- at a good
time. . He bat pronounced the doom of
Slavery on the American Continent. After
dallying(with this great sin, because he
dreaded to do violence to the interests and
wishes of any pdrtion'ot' the people, be
has accepted the lesson of experience, and
ends the war by putting an end to its
cause. If this rebellion has taught ns anv- j
thing, it is that by slavery we have been
defeated in our national progress by
slavery the richest and fairest portions ot
our Republic have teen kept as a desert
and a wilderness by slaverv a great part
of the people have been estranged from
one another by slavery our institutions
have been prevented from developing the
blessings our fathers intended they should
bestow. Slavery has been the perpetual
disgrace to the American name. Slavery
has bloomed into sedition, and ripened
into war. Why should it live ? It has
menaced our dearest rights, and. has rob
bsd us of our dearest kindred. This fear
ful monster, intertwining itself around the
vitals of the Republic, retarding its growth,
destroying its usefuless, making its very
existence wretched, at last sought to take
the life which had nourished it, and to
rend the bosom on which it had grown
In self-defence we have wrestled in its
embraces wrestled in blood, war, carnage,
desolatiou, aud slaughter and all in vain.
The struggle is now for life or death. If
'.slavery lives the Republic dies. The Re
public must live, and so shivery must die.
This is the meaning of the President's
Proclamation, ami his words record sla-
I very's inevitable doom.
President Lineou has fallowed the log
ical course of events in issuing this proc
Jamation. He has been neither too 'soon
nor too late. He has a multitude of
i interests to consult, all of which involved
the social,, commercial happiness of our
people. lie found the institution of
slavery sustaining a good agricultural
interest in .many States of the Union.
Cotton, .'ice. tobacco, and other staples,
seemed to live upou its labor, and vast
European and American enterprises de
pended on its preservation. The hamlets
of Lancashire and counting-rooms of
Xew York the mills of Lowell ; to the
looms of France ; to the uttermost end of
the earth in India and Australia the
safety of the cotton crop and the protec
tion of labor were matters of comfort and
ueeessity, raiment aud bread. It was not
an easy thing to proclaim a decree so
universal in its application, and so radical
and even disastrous in its operation. And
to the honor of President Lincoln let us
record it that he did not make this proc
lamation until the masters of the cottoa
ciop and cotton labor compelled him to do
so by their treason and violence. Slavery
might have passed awaj iu its own good
time, under the gentfe influence of benefi
cent free iustitutious, and the world would
not have felt the change. liut thU did
not satisfy the ambition of its lords, nor
minster to their cupidity. They grasped
at universal empire and sought to eve t throw
a free republic, that a republic with sla
very for its corner-stone might be erected
on its foundation. How much they have
done to accomplish this wild and terrible
design, the dreadful experiences of the
past two years the blood that has been
shed the devastation that has everywhere
extended and the sad history thcc days
are creating, will testify. That history is
at an end The President turns a new
leaf, and, at the head of the page writes
Emaiu-ijHition.
lie has written emancipation, and there
it will last forever, a tribute to his own
wise statesmanship aud the fortitude of
the American people. The patience and
self-denial we have manifested from the
beginning, iu fighting this war with smaller
weapons, while the great cngicc of death
still remained in the arsenal, must forever
be a wonder. But as we have been patient
and self-denying before, let U3 be active,
vigilant and unrelenting now. If any one
ever dreamed that out of this chaos of war
and destruction peace might suddenly
come as a compromise, or by submission,
let him dismiss it from his brain like an
idle dream that it was. This proclamation
of the President ends the rebellion It
will not do so to-day, nor even to-morrow,
but it will end it in a very short time, and
in a very summary manner. We are now
putting the axe to the root; heretofore we
have contented ourselves with trimming
the boughs, and breaking the branches,
forgetting that new life was constantly
oozing from the soil. It does not come as
a wild exhibition of despair, nor asii mere
effort to rouse a drooping public sentiment
or rally beaten and disheaitened columus.
It is the manifestation of Xorthern power;
it is the result of overwhelming victories.
We have shown the rebels that the sword
is potent with us; we have shown them
that, without going beyond the mere vol
untary oflcrings of life and treasure, wc
have laid their conscript Confederacy at j

where we have conquered, aud to take
away the life of the great criminal who
has been indicted and convicted at the bar
of Christian civilization.
One of the German consuls located
in Cincinnati, has adopted a stringent rule,
by which he will acknowledge no one us a
citizen who left the German States without
having first rendered the military service
which is demanded of all citizens of that
country. It is well-known that thousands
of Germans left the Fatherland purposely
to escape the draft at home, so that those
who thus run away from one duty, just
jump out of the frying pan into the tiro.
