ARMING NEGROES
The New York 1Vorld: after deonuneing
the arming of negroes in the most vehement
manner for months past, has suddenly be
come a convert to the doctrine of using all
the reasonable and proper means God has
given us to put down the war. It says.
"The study is now no longer to be how to
carry on this war with least damage to eta
very. The old infatuation of sel-eting the
direction, and measuring the force of the
blow so as to hit ate rebellion, if possible,
and yet by all means strike clear of the pe
collar institution, is to he given up. Many
of us"would like to see this style of doing
, the thing succeed. but unfortunately, while
•we have been taxing our skill to perform
the difficult feat, secesh is at our throat.
Were it merely a private shindy, and were it
the affectionate consort of your antagonist
who thus insisted on bolo , "counted in" it
is vary probably that, in your chivalry, you
might conclude to knock under sooner than
run the risk of harming her. But this sort
of chivalry will hardly apply to warfare on a
large scale, especia ly where a nation's life
is concerned—least of all, when the screen
is no fair daughter of Eve, but a hag, like
this of slavery. We can hardly afford to
risk deathan concern' for such a creature as
-that, and, is very wise in us at least to
conclude that-we will strike from the shoul
der straight out at secesh, even though it
prove a finisher, not only to itself, but its
beloved," _

Democratic Attacks 'on Congress,
We copy, to-day, an iidltorial sqUib from
the I'o/it/deer of last week, with the design Of
showing the entire falsity of its statements
and the groundless of the attneks on the last
Congress, by the Demooratio,Press. We give
the article entire and verbatunt.
"It (Congress) will be, remembered as the
worst body of men (we speak of the majority)
ever assembled nt our Capitol lied the last
Congress never met, wo verily belibve the re
bellion would have ended six months ago.—
There was not a single great man man in the
Senate, and such miserable secession dema
gogues and traitors as Sumner, %Vail°, Jim
Lane and IVilruot were the leaders in that once
dignified body ! Truly .• it will be mown's..
ble for its extraordinary measures." When
President Lincoln was told that Congress had
adjourned sine die he exclaimed " thank God !"
and so did the people."
We do not intend to charge Mr. Drafter'
with having originated this attack upon Con
gress. We know that it is merely a synopsis
of the Democratic editorials throughout the
entire country, and we copy it only on ac
count of its terseness and brevity. It is need
leas to say to our readers, that a more mean,
ecurillous and libellous attack than it, and
the articles from which it is condensed never
appeared in print. " The worst body of men
ever assembled at our Capitol." Indeed ! we
would like to see a Democratic definition of
goodness. We assert boldly that the Ropub
lican delegation to the last week Congress is
equal, in ability, integrity and patriotism to
any equal number of members of any Con
gress, which has convened in Washington du
2
ring the last twenty years. Every measure
passed was honestly designed to weaken the
traitors, and crush the rebellion. The amount
of labor done during the session, was more
than double that of any previous Congress
These are filets known by every intelligent
and admit ted by every honest man ; and he
cause of this, the r. majorisy"--is• stigmatized
as the " worst body of teen ever assembled in
our C'apiiol." Ilad they delayed the organi•
zation of the House for three months, spend
jog the money and delaying the business of
the Nation, as Democrats did in 1855 and
1850; or haul they refused to vote men and
money for the protection of the Government
when traitors were arming to destroy it, as
Democrats did in 1860 and 18131, we have no
doubt they would have been commended by
the Deitioeratie I)ress'ab models of goodness
and patriotism.
" list the last Congress never met, we be
Here the rebellion would have endod six
months ago." Thu silliness of this assertion
would be amusing if its falsity were not con
teniptible. We presume the rebellion would
have ended a year ago, by the capture of
Washington and the establishment of Confed•
crate despotism over us, had not the Govern
merit taken measures for its protection; and
had Congress not met and sanctioned those
measures. In this sense• the assertion is true
But such is not the meaning the writer wished
to convey, nor is it the impression it a ill
leave on his reader. It was intended to con
vey the irripression that the Republican men,-
hers of Congress were the acne cause of the
rebellion,and that to their course is to be at
tributed the continuance cif the war, We
theretore brand, it as a contemptible false•
hood
" Such miserable secession demagogues and
traitors as Sumner, Wade, Lane and WPmot,
were the leaders in that once dignified body."
It is the favorite aniartement of Democratic
editors, to call every Man a traitor who re
fused, six years ago, to assist Davis, Cobh,
Floyd, Toombs and their friends in the North,
to make Buchanan President. There i? not
rs Republican Senator whom they have not
charged with treason. Now what aro the
(Leis?. Not a single Rcp..blican Senator ever
advobated secession, or ever gave treason,
culler actual or moral aid. This the Vulun
leer knows; 'and its charges - are only Made
for the purpose of diverting attention front
the conduct of its own friends. When the
first session of the present Congress met,
there were thirteen Democratic Senators pres
eat. Of these thirteen, four have since been
expelltd, for open and direct participation
in the rebe:lion ; nod of those remaining near
ly, every one has given proof, by Lis voles
and speeches, that his sympathies are with
the rebels and with th m alone. Under these
circumstances does it not become Democratic
journals to line the words, " secession dema
gogues" and traitors" somewhat less fre
quently than they do
Congress adjourned " Presid'ent Lin
coln exclaimed " Thank God !" end so did
'the people." This is not true. The -Presi
dent, had no desire that Congress should ad
journ, until it hisj passed every measure
which now constitutes the policy of the Gov
ernment. Nor did any one else desire it, ex
cept Democratic politicians, and no ono is sil
ly enough to believe that they over Thanked
God for any thing. •
We have noticed this article at length,. not
for the purpose of gotting into a controversy,
but because we feel it a duty we owe the pub.
lio to expose such slanderous and uncalled
for attacks on Congress. What is their inev
itable consequence? Nothing morn or less
than a division of those who ought now to be
united in support t I the Government. Will
men leave their homes and endure the expos
ure and dangers of a military life, for the
purpose of subduing the rebellion, when they
are told that. ‘• had Congress not met the ro
bellifin would have ended six months ago;
or when they are made believe that a Majtir
ity of our own legislators are traitors and se
cessionists? Is the elevation of Democrats to
office so essential to the prosperity
, of tho
Country, that means of this kind must be
used to secure Must confidence and trust
in our Government be entirely destroyed just
,to keep such men ne Vallandigham, Ben Wood
and their supporters in office, or is it in
dispensable that the very best men in the
Nation should be traduced and slandered, in
order that thd-party of which Davie, Toortib's
and Floyd were once lenders may be restored
to power? Is it not time that a different
and more honorable course was pueued by
journals, who are prone to denounce their op
ponents, as traitors ? And finally, are not
journals which pursue a course of this kind
doing more harm to the Government than ..if
they openly advocated the course of the
Southern Confederaoy ?
INTERVENTION
• A vast deal of-anxioty,. quite superfluous,
as we think, is expended upon the question
of intervention—that is to B,ly, upon the in
. finitely debatable question of probabilities,
whether France' or _England ) or both, will
meddle in our American affairs. As if our
national existence were dependent on the per
mission of Count Porsigny , or Lord Palmers
ton) , Why should this bo the perpetual topic.
of : debate? That Franco and England wit.a
meddleinouraittirs.thero is no earthly doubt.

"The F,reuckproteetorate ~NO)V. is" tq.ci abeurdto
be thought of ;
.but that the rebels, in case of
.prolonged steuggle, are ready •to offer it, is,.
we think, by na Means improbable. The de-!
cutive overthrow of the rebellion by the cap- .
turn of its .strongholds, Richmond, Charles!'
ton, Savannah, Mobile and • Montgomery,_
would put a decisive end to the scheme of a
French• protectorate. On the other head,
nothing so invites foreign intervention as dil•
atory, indecisive movements. France and
England may even make plausible excuses to
the world - for interference, if the war be pro
tracted another'.year. For this reason, if for
no other, every energy should be put forth to
suppress the accursed rebellion. The civi
lized world is the spectator• of the struggle.'
Still, if intervention comes, let it come
There are conceivable calamities greater end

once. No le.s certain that the spirit of the
loyal north will never yield or concede one
iota ,to the rebellion. Whatever embroil•
meets may accrue from abrold, it is absurd
to suppose the government of the Ilsited
States, while it has a standing place upon
earth, will ever consent, to the pretensions of
this rebellion.— Telegraph.
DRAFTING
When we express the hope that there will
be no drafting in' Pennsylvania, we do not de
sire to interpose an objection to that manner
of filling up the old or organizing new regi
ments. What we mean by that hope is, that
the patriotism of the people will never force
the government to resort to the arafting sys•
tem. It will not be adopted until stern ne
cessity leaves the government no choioe, and
forces the War Delia' tment_or the Governors
estates to such a k noll° of raising men to
fight for a country in whose safety all are
e pinny interested. It is useless to argue the
point, as but one course can be pursued, and
that is, the quota called fur from Pentisylva•
nix must be furnished. 'The President has
drawn on the Governor, and the Governor
has appealed to the people. Therefore the
whole suhject of a draft is in the hand, of the
people Those who falter and hold back may
escape enlistment, and will forfeit all state
and county bounties—but they cannot dodge
dra:ting. That makes no distinction, except
the blind and halt It draws fur its support
on all elas.i , es, and forces men to make that
sacrifice for their country, to which, it would
seem, they have no pairiotiflu to prompt
them.
While on the subject of a draft, we notice
bomb of our contemproaries urge that its udop.
tion would bring out a class of men who have
been giving the government a very cold sup
port, and who have stood aloof from all the
military operations, except such as were
profitable or peculiarly glot ious to themselves
If we tailed to admit this fact, we would fail
to endorse the truth, and we cannot but np•
prove the spirit which seeks to force such
men either to take up arms fur the govern
ment or openly to avow their sympathy for
the rebel cause. Let the draft come, then,
as soon as the government may see fit to
adept it, and force those who will not voln
tartly espouse the C911`43 of the Union, to take
up terms in Its defence. This is a good course,
and will bear any amount of extreme vigor
and sternness to insure its glorious success.

BENEFITS TO BE GAINED FROM ENLISTING IN
OLD REGINIENTS.- An old soldier, who has
served sixteen years in the regular service,
suggests the following facts as inducements
for vo unteers to enter old regiments:
Volunteers entering an organized regiment
will enjoy the following advantages:
I. Thy will learn more in one mouth in an
old regiment than they will learn in four or
mix mouths in a new regiment, for in the one
ease 'every old officer and soldier is by pre•
caw, and exampl' an instructor, while in the
other the officers only are instructors and of.
' tentitnes but inexperienced end imperfect
'ones.
2. They will better escape the disences of
camp life among old and experienced sol tiers
than in newly organized regiments. Pre
stinting that inefficient and selfish officers woo
have neglected their men have to a great ex
tent either resigned or have been displaced.
the officers and men who remain in the old
regiments have learned by observation - ` acid
experience the means of preserving 11 , alth,
and will impart their knowledge to the young
soldier. In proof of this, I know a captain
in the army of the Potomac who had been for
years in the regainr ariny, and through the
campaign in Mexico, who has not lost It 1.11 , 113
by sickness.
3. There will probably be less loss of life
in battle in an old organization than in a new.
Experienetal officers will be less likely to ex•
pose their men needlessly than experienced
ones. 0.1 regitiients will be less likely to be
thrown into disorder under '•ire. A 4 a general
thing, the men will be better cared fiir it
wounded, because a better organizdtlion for
the care of the wounded, and because the old
surgeon's have had 4 renter experience in the
treatment of the sick and wounded.
• 4 Young soldiers in an old regiment will
sitars the glory of a veteran corps.
And, finally. as it is presumed that all who
volunteer, desire to render the moat efficient
tiervioe to the government, it is safe to say
that ten thousand men distributed through
the regiments now in the field will accomplish
more in the next six months than thirty thou
sand organized into now regiments.
DISOUSTED.-A short time since a travel
