ABRAHAM LINCOLN, of Illinois.
The 0. P. F. "We do not profess to a
deal of resnect lor the opinions of
Jaines Buchanan, but since it is an unde-
niihln fact that there are those in our
midst who do, it may not ba altogether
uninteresting to Bee what that personage
baa got to say for himself nowadays. To
Mr. Jcwitt, the self appointed Peace
commissioner, who called to see him, the
other day, on business connected with
his Dacifio missionon earth, Old Buck
energetically remarked "This is the mo-
rnent for action for energetic, united
action und not for the discussion of peace J
propositions." Peace Democrats

. The National Sisterhood. Con
gress has at length passed through both J
Houses au act to enable the territories of
Nevada and Colorado to organize State
governments, preparatory to admission
into the Union on equal footing with the
other States. Some proceedings on the
subject have already taken place in both
territories, and now that they have nation
al authority for their action, and Congress
is prepared to favor them, it is presumable
they will forthwith proceed to avail them
selves of the privileges extended them.
Coming into the Union with slavery
expressly prohibited by their Constitu
ting, these will increase thenumber of
free States, and diminish the area of na
tional territories. Of the latter we shall
till have left Nebraska, Dakota, Idaho,
Arizona, New Mexico, and Washington.
The proposed new territory of Montano
will increase thU number to seven, but
this will again be reduced by the admis
eion before lorg of Nebraska as a State, j
The rapid development of the immense
regions lying between tho Mississippi and
the Pacific surpasses the most sanguine
anticipations of our people, and confounds
all estimates made by Europeans. The
Pacific railroad isjid longer a chimera.
The progress of settlement is preparing
the way for it along all its routes, and in
every section. The chain of States will
eoon be complete from east to west from
ecean to ocean. We are a great people !
Ocr County Convention. The ap
proaching campaign will probably be the
most fiercely contested one in the history of
the politics of the country. G reat and roo-
ruectous issues the greatest and most
momentous that have ever arisen are to
be decided, one way or the other, at the
next flection. The people of the nation
are then to arise in the majority, and say
that the war for, the preservation of the
Union is to go on until treason be eradi
cated, root.and branch, or else declare the
temple of our liberties not worth the time,
trouble and expense necessary to its
saving. In order to afford fair expression
to the sentiments of the people touching
thia all-important auestion. a thorough
Union organization becomes indispensably
necessary. Other counties throughout the
State and'Union will of course take such
action in the premises as their wisdom
tuay deteimine it devolves upon all true
Union men here to see that Cambria coun
ty lag not behind in the good work.
Looking to this end, we express our
unqualified conviction when we say we
think we ought to hold an early County
Convention. . Last fall we saw what could
be done by effort and united action ; with a
little more effort and united action, this
fall we believe wecan do stiil better.
We honestly believe that, with a thorough
canvass of the county, in November next
we will be able to give our nominee for
President a majority in Cambria county,
as large, at least, as wc gave Mr. Lincoln
in I860. We therefore propose and
the proposition is heartilv seconded by the
Union element in this section that our
County Convention be held as early as
May, say the third Tuesday thereof.
Thus, we would be allowed six months
wherein to canvass the county and organ
ize our forces for the contest. What say
our friends in the southern end of the
couuty to the proposition I
ailscegenatlon: Wbat It Means,
and All About it.
We have received the following, perti
nent interrogatory from Scalp Level :
"Mr. Ed. AlleghanianSir : The word 'Mis
cegenation' is a puzzler to some of us fellows
down here. We are not only totally unable
to correctly pronounce it, but wo also fail to
hare the slightest idea aa to what it really
signifies. We know a good bit of one thing
and another, as the saying goes, but we mast
confess this word gets us. Having great con
fidence in your transcendent abilities as a
lexicographer, we rely upon you, and hereby
beg of you, to shed a few rays of light oa the
subject."
"Ranscendent abilities" oh, certainly !
Yon command our bicrsest and best eu-
deavors. We are acrTeeable.
Klow, therefore
"Miscegenation" is derived from the
Greek, or Hebrew, or Ilong Tong, and is
supposed to signify the commingling cf
the blood of two opposite races. The
theory was first looked upon with favor in
the land of tho tialm. nossiblv better
known as the "Sunny South' the chival
ric sons of tho which took, that method,
hrst, to demonstrate that they were the
real philanthropists the simon-pure arti
cle of the age, in that, modifying his
complexion from ebony black to ginger
bread brown, they thereby and at the same
time afforded practical proof cf a chromic
desire to elevate the negro as to his status
morally and socially ; and, second, that
they might thus conduce to their own
personal gain. For it is an indisputable
fact that "chattels," in the South, when
they are the possessors of a subduedly
charcoal cast of countenance, command t
mucn niguer figure in dollars and cents
than those of a strictly inky hue. The
word has latterly been incorporated into
the literature and lanjruase of the dav
through the efforts of the celebrated
Albert Pike, formerly of Arkansas, but
now of the Rebel army, who, under a nom
de plume, has written a book on the subject,
embodying substantially the tenets as wo
have here laid them down. With one
single exception. To wit: that, instead
of attributing to the slaveocracy the the
ory as their rule of faith, he attempts to
foist its paternity upon the "Abolitionists"
of the North. This shrewd endeavor has
proved not nearly so successful as might
have been anticipated, for birds of mature
age are not caught nowadays, generally
speaking, by the sprinkling of salt on
their tails. However, the book is eagerly
sought after, and read by maDy, espec
ially by Copperhead haters of their coun
try, who, greedily accepting it as the
bona fide utterance of Northern men
felicitate themselves that they have dis
covered, in its teachings, damnatory proo
tnat tne war tor toe union is not waged
for the perpetuity of great and eterna
principles, but only for the elevation o
the negro to an equality with the white
man.
The book bears this motto :

upon which it bears thus:

By special courtesy of the author, we
nave been lavoreu witn advance sneer
containing the solution of this latter
riddle. In it, we are surprised to find
advocated the idea that a mere modicum
of "elevation", is necessary to the arrival
at tho required result that say five min
utes' time would be amply sufficient to
make Pompey infinitely tho superior of
James. From this, it were safe to infer
the forthcoming publication will contain a
still more startling theory than Miscegen-
tation, to wit, that 3ome negroes are sven
now. the equals of some white men !

this S'ate, at Washington, reveals the
fact thnt we have an excess of ten thous

and that it will require but sixteen
thousand volunteers to fill our quota under

ed, has reliable intelligence to this effect ;
if so, do doubt it will be officially promul
gated at an early day. Sixteen thousand
is a small number to raise in this grei
State ; and, with proper effort, the quota
can be filled before the time designated for
the draft to commence.

The
President's Recent Proc
lamation.
As was stated a few day3 ago, a judge
in California releasee! some convicted rebe
pirates on taking the oath prescribed
under the Presideut s proclamation o
amnesty. The ritgleader, it was proven,
had gone to Richmond and secured the
actual issue of letters of marque from the
rebel government, and with t-these had
returned to San Francisco and was about
ready to complete his scheme of robbery
and murder when the plot the seizure o
a California treasure ship was discovered
The dangei that judges whose sympathies
are with the rebels might hereafter release
convicted offeuders.gainst the laws of the
United States, has induced the President
to issue his late proclamation defining who
arc and who are not entitled to the benefits
of the amnesty proclamation. The Presi
dent' says explicitly that the amnesty
proclamation "does not apply to the cases
of persons who, at the time when they
seek to obtain the benefits thereof by
taking the oath, thereby prescribed, are in
military, naval or civil confinement or
custody, or under bonds, or on parole of
the civil, military or naval authorities or
agents of the United States, as prisoners
of war or persons detained for offenses of
any kind cither before or after convictiou j
and that, on the contrary, . it does apply
only to those persons who, being at large
and free from any arrest or confinement,
shall voluntarily .come , forward and take
L the said oath with the purpose of restoring
peace and establishing the national au
thority." .
The amnesty proclamation as thu3 ex
plained will not be so tender to rebels as
the advocates of a severer policy havo af-
firmed of it. The right and propriety of
the exercise of the pardoning power being
admitted, we think there can now be no
objection to the limits and terms of
pardon prescribed by the President.
JtSaT" A fight occurred at Charleston,
Illinois, uu Monday ef last week, between
some soldiers and a body of armed Cop
perheads, resulting in the killing and
wounding of several on both sides. The
attack wa3 made by the Copperheads; and
was totally unprovoked. They have been
dispersed, and several arrested.
J5y On Saturday etening last, a young,
man named William Mitchell, laboring
under an attack of jealousy, or of whisky
on the brain, shot and instantly killed a
female flame of his, named Maggie Baer,
in the Continental theatre, Philadelphia,
during the performance of a play.

Is Slavery Deadl
Is slavery dead ? To assert so is quite
common, but let us pe sure oi it. xne
war has broken down a great many bar
riers has given us emancipation, after a
period ot suffering and experience nas
erected free plantations and free schools
near the very hotbeds of rebellion, and
has enabled repentant slaveholders to
build free States. The conversion of
rebels into abolitionists, one of the inevit
able and growing results of the war, has
ceased to be a wonder, and, on the con
trary, the only marvel is, how Northern
men find anything to respect in an insti
tution which is double rebel asainst the
laws of God and man. The fact is shame
ful and strange, but proves how deeply
and widely the nation has been cursed
with the evil. There is no longer occa
sion to apologize for this crime, and those
who still take the trouble to invent argu
ments in its favor are vcf ed either knaves
or madmen, by the. masses of the people ;
but the influence of slavery is nevertheless
fact. Those who have been
its most'earnest advocates clutch it all the
stronger that it' is now near to deathand
the people, who never liked ltfbutboreit
secret hate, oa account of all they have
suffered for the sake of an ungrateful
South, hate it all the more that its fate is
decreed and it3 hours are numbered.-
Slavery, if not alive and defiant' as before,
still blocks the way with it3 horrible
rubbish is still a burden on our hands
and minds and has still some power.
We have less to apprehend from slave
holders than Copperheads, who are, after
all, the more absolute worshipper? of the
evil, for they would prevent, if they could,
even the slaveholder from manumitting
his own slaves. The friends of slavery at
the North are the enemies which the
republtb must first meet at every' step it
takes ; after them the border State slave
holders and conditional Unionists; and,
lastly, come the rebels themselves. Con
quer the first at once, and 'all the rest is
decided ; but our war measures originally
went through a process before they
reached the actual enemy, and, in the
first year of the war, the proclamations of
some of our Generals were plainly a
caution to our own 8oldiers not to use
deadly weapons. The nation has now"
recovered from all its anxieties on the
subject of slavery, and does not wish to
spare it a single day. Slavery is always
offensive, whether it actively assails the
Government or is quiescent ; and, letting
alone that it is a monster evil, and ab
stractly a very gTeat crime, the people
consider it even superficially a great pe&t
and nuisance. There is no reason to save
it, and there is still less to let it live.
And, although it still lives, it is well to
note that it is only in the progress of
dying, and the "people are anxious that it
shall die as fast aa possible. We have no
reason to protract its death-bad. It has
no claim to our gratitude. Has it ever
saved the Union for us ? It has no cause
to ask charity or consideration. When
did it offer concession or show mercy ?
Let it die without physicians, or with
only such doctors as are in close conspira
cy with fate. It is a great criminal, and
should die without respite, respect, or
sorrow. The nation of the future must
be new and free, and we do not need
principlo 60 much as energy to make it so
Every black soldier carries a death warrant
that slavery shall surely cease. But the
dying lingers, and the people are impa
tient. Surely one great act is to come,
when slavery shall be effaced from the
Constitution, shall be driven out of
politics, and out of the verjr shadow of
political shelter. After cmancioation
which the President has proclaimed, we
must have abolition--a fiat mightv with
the voice of the whole people sweeping
slavery out of history. It ,is not enough
that Goliath has been struck a mortal
blow. He must be beheaded, and even
after that we must fall upon the Philis
tines. I he Press.
B.EORG ANIZING THE MlLITrA. Col
Ulass, chairman or tho Committee on
Military Affairs, has prepared a new bill
reorganizing the militia of the Common
wealth, rendering them more efficient and
serviceable. It is fashioned mainly after
the Massachusetts system, and meets, we
understand, fully the approval of the
Adjutant General.
Under the proposed law, the State is
divided into Regiments and Brigades, and
it prescribes the manner of choosing all
the officers of the minor organizations by
election. It gives Allegheny county one
brigade, and Philadelphia four. The pay
of each officer, non-couinilssioned officer
and private is the same as the regular
service, allowing, however, thirty cent;
for rations to each man. This is an im
portaut provision, as it provides for the
loss of time of men wffo are unable to
bear it. A fine of seventy-five dollars is
imposed for non-attendance. ' The bill
should be carefully oonsidcred, and such
amendments incorporated as experience
nas demonstrated to De necessary, it is
believed, however, that the proposed pys
.fern will be entirely effective and self-
sustaining.
CSk, The Union State Convention of
California, which met at Sacramento on
Thursday, unanimously adopted a resolu

choice for the next President, and indor

with the exception of Senator M'Dougail.

Queen Victoria an Authoress.
Royalty has not contributed much to
the current literature of the world. The
atmosphere of the throne is not calculated
to foster or cherish the industry indispen
sable to the culture and development of
tho?e latent powers of mind which has
nroduced such wonderful results in the
world of letters. There 13 a profusion of
praise awarded to royal efforts, whether
political, social, or literary, which might
be supposed to stimulate the most iguoble
intellect. Still the love of pleasure and
the blandishments of power have been
found tco strong to overcome the natural
love of ease ; so that it is now a generally
received opinion that from obscurity and
poverty have the poets, historians and
artists arisen, whose names will live in
the memory of mankind as the greatest
heritages of the race. If we are to credit
the journals which are thought to bo in
the secrets of the Court, the name of
Queen Victoria will shortly be added to
the rosal authors of England. A "few
weeks ago the Coburg Gazette announced
that "Queen Victoria is engaged in writing
the memoirs of her life and times." She
is said not to be a mere novice with the
pe It is notorious on many public
occasions, when her deceased consort
Prince Albert had spoken only a few
sentences, the next day s newspapers
contained e'aoorate reports, extending
from half a column to one and two, which
was furnished by the gentle Queen. The

The reading public will await with
anxious interest the memoirs ot her liie
and times. .For aside from the love which
England feels for Victoria, there is a
strong admiration for her many shining
qualities in America. In every relation
of life, she has shown herself to be a true
woman. Whether as sovereign, mother,
wife, she has displayed those shining
qualities of mind and heart which serve as
beacon lights in forming the character and
moulding the manners of the mothers and
daughters ot both the old and the new
world.
The Rebel Commissioner at Fort
ress Monroe. jCol. Robert Oald, the
Rebel Commissioner of Exchange, paid a
visit to Gen. Butler, at Fortress Monroe,
a few days since, in pursuance of an
arrangement made when the General was
at City Point. Col. O. came down the
James river on Thursday, on the little
steamer Roanoke, and at Newport News
was taken on board the federal steamer
Union. A correspondent says :
It was nos generally known that Col.
Ould wa3 on -board, and only on Major
Mulford mentioning the fact to several did
the news spread, and .the crowd became
very much interested to see the man, who,
as Commissioner of Exchange and Judge
Advocate of tho Confederacy, play3 so
important a role. An ambulance belong-'
ing to the Hygeia Hotel was placed at
the disposal of the visitors, and taken io
headquarters, with an immense amount of
papers and books.
The appearance of Colonel Ould, to a
person who knew him prior to the break
ing out of this wicked Rebellion, is one of
great change. In size the Rebel Com
missioner i3 about six feet, and rather
rotund. " Ilia face is covered with a greyish,
grizzly beard, and altogether he looks
like a man who has the burden of a
"kingdom" to bear on his shoulders.
Colonel Ould wore a civilian's suit a
brown overcoat, fashionablu. several years
back, and a slouch hat. His companion,
Captain Hatch, was aUired in a grey uni
form, full dress, sash and belt, but wore
no sword.
The object of his mission can only be
guessed at,but relates to the future plac of
exchanges. It is understood, and, in fact,
was published in the Richmond papers,
that if General Butler would come to the
Rebel capital to make the necessary
arrangements to facilitate exchanges, he
should receive full and ample protection.
General Butler and Colonel Ould met oa
friendly terms, and up to the moment of
my- closing this the two Commissioners
are- engaged in their humane and laudable
undertaking. The visit of Colonel Ould
may last two or three days, judging by the
immense pile of paper3 brought by him on
his arrival.
BaowNLOW. The irrepressible Parson
Brownlo w has again turned up at NashviUe.
He draws the following striking contrast,
in a letter to his paper under date of
March 2 : "Two ycarsago tftis week I came
down this railroad, my last trip until now,
but under very di Icrent circumstances.
I was a prisoner gu irded by rebel bayonets
and called for at every depot, by malicious
and blackguard partisans of the rebellion.
The cry usually was, "bring out the d d
old traitor, and let us hang him on a limb."
These scoundrels were not in attendance
at the depots as I came on this time
some of them had fled the country, and
others had gone the way of all the arth !
I was met by a different class of men on
this trip, and in a different spirit. I was
taken by the hand most cordially, con
gratulated, and occasionally called on for
a speech, but had to decline on account of
my feeble health. The vile wretches and
unprincipled traitors who thronged the
depots and stations, rejoicing over my
banishment, have in gloriously fled from
their homes, and are now outcasts from
civilized society," -
