So nauth for Billy's mammoth plaster. The Difference* Wm. H Jacoby Editor of a Democratic' paper The Star of the North and Wm. Bur ges* present editor of an abolition organ ; both of Columbia c .unty, were dratted last j tall. Mr. Jacoby suspended the publication I of this paper, shouldered his tun get, served through his time, and ha 3 now returned to resume its publication. B lly Button who bad made all his arrangement* to come to Wyoming " and take charge of an abolition organ, was let off by trickery falsehood and inviolation of law ; and now cackles out his hackneyed epithets of '• copperhead" " south, ern sympathizer" ■ traitor jLc. in speaking of Mr. Jacoby and bis polnicul friends. Political knavery ami favoritism may save this Draft sneak from taking his chances in the consctiption with Democrats ; but no kind of long faced sane tic utonicus lies will conceal his hypocncy or shield him from the Caoteuipt whicli attaches to a sueak. iFSf We have accounts of the in discriminate massacre of ihe men, women and children of the city of Lawrence Kansas, by a band of guerrillas under a fiend in hu man shape by the rajtno of Quantrell* One hundred and eighty citizens were killed and wounded, and scarcely a house of the town remains. Ihe loss in property is about 2,000 000 and falls heavily upon New York and Lawrence, with merchants. Two banks Were robbed of tbeir c n'*' Found the right Place at Last. By a communication in the Republican of I the 12th m*t , we lean that Q M. (Quarter Mastet) Sergt. J. F Furman has left Co. 8., ' ol tlie 52-id Uegt. Pi. Vols., and in the same capacity, ha?joined a regimen' rf South Car- • idina niggers. In the let'er referred to. ho gives ut. his reasons for thus leaving his old companions, that he '■'' prefers them, (the nigger*) to while troops !" In his enthusi astic praises of th tn ho exclaims : ' l Yts\ take them ail around, as the D 1 did the skunk, they Jar outstrip anything in the shape of soldiers, I have seen for military descipline or goo I behavior.'' 1 In order to prove that his estimate of nigger prowess is not too high, the writer narrates what he calls an " incident" w nc i ccurro 1 in an ex • peditton up the •' Pompon River" whore aft er the white men through ftai had deserted their guns, "a nigger rushed on deck, with drawn sabre and proceeded to load a gun and by his taunts at tho cowardly whites, shamed them into resuming their places— "they o wishing o> b; onlone by a nig g r." Toe rebel bmery was soon silenced. Tne regiment t> v nc'i Q. M. Sergt. Furman has the honor of belonging, then lauded and proceeded to " throw out skirmishers" " while the rest of the (our) regiment was engaged in burning immense stores of r\<t.e. i cotton, corn, and other valuable property belonging to the enemy. " The sp tils taken one Lieutenant, and one private. Enemy's los ..ol known " Fr >ui the dra furnished by this " reliable c irresponden'," we think we can very accu ra'.ely cdculate the enemy's loss to have been, " immense store? of rice, cotton, corn I | ami other valuable property, with "one | L'eutenant, one private and 300 niggers, nig ; ger wenches, and pickaninnies, taken from s< uie plantation, where they were earning a living ; to be clo'hed fed and cared for at the expense ol the sweat and toil of tax ridden whites of the north. That niggers can steal, burn, sack, and de stroy property, we never had a doubt. That they can and do, add to these traits of char acter, when unrestrained, crimes upon de fenceless white Women, which for brutality and fiendisn, none but incarnate Devils could devise, or accomplish all their past history, and the criminal records of uur country, abundantly prove. It will doubt-eat prove very gratifying to the personal diirditv of this Q M. Sergt. to have those colored heroes, who have been tatij-ht re-pect for superiors, by far better ntat'rs than he would make, to approach hon with bat tinder arm and a profound bow, and inorm '• Missa Fur ma n dat de lrou*~ aluone am get tin slightly dilapidated in de rear, or da' pray'n for Alassa Linkuin, de knees am completely obsquatulated." Of course under such touching cirsumslances, with tiie dark patches of nigger hide visible, Q. M Sergi. Furutan would forthwith fur nisli his brave pious and obsequious couipan ion a new pair. Though he says that he holds the " same rank" with them as in the 520 d, who can d .übt that he has been ele va'ed by the change ? Mr. Sergt. Funnan has en unquestionable right to leave the heroes of a score of hard Sought battles, tits fellow townsmen and schoolmates—for the Companionship of a reg iment ofSouth Carolina niggers, because he " prefers them to white men." But, it wouhi have been far in-re in ldest in him, to have wilhitel'i the ground of his preference from the fathers, in >thers, brothers, sisters and friends of bis late companions in the 52 id, who point to their record with some tn-gree oi pride. To say as tie does that a regiment of riw niggers are "superior in discipline and good behavior," to the vetrans of the 52nd, is certainly not very complimentary to them or gratifying to their friends. Be sides quite a respvciable number of the read ers of the Republican-- and indeed the only respeciable portion of them—still have a vague n itioii that a white man is as good as a nigger ; and that a regiment of white men —especially tfie 52 id is as good as an equal number of cap ured cotton pickers in South Carolina; Cot. Higgmson's or Q M. Sergt. Funuaii'a not excreted. Is ; unfair t presume, that a man who j lias such exalted notions of negro superiority; J who has expressed and put in<o practical up ! eratiun, his preference to black men , over white ones —his late associates—will long he ahle to withstand the charms of some " eb !ny ange!" one < f those •' spoils " of war— ; ('' to the victors belong the spoils'') some . daughter, or sister of one of the companions |of his choice ? Will he not " tak'ng her all around," asthe''D ! did the skunk," l (perfume and al!) in her " good behevior," ; thickness and sweetness of iips or congenial* i ity, find something in her to prefer to a white woman ; and, as in this case, caPrv out Ins preference, bv making her Airs Q. M Sergt. Furman 1 We fhall not be surprised at anything from ihat quarter. Wn n!y wonder that . Billy Button, who, being a delinquent drafl- I ed man, and who owes the government nine | months service, at least, does not, under the | stimulus of these glowing accounts of nigger fighting from on accredited correspondent, rush immediately into C>l. H igginson's Reg | iment, to revive the faded laurels on his brow and partake of the rich " spoils'' thare ta writing, for all such men. I tsr we" have on I.and a communication I in reference to the bible view of slavery by I Bishop Hopkins published by us a week r | two sincej and Presiding elder Brown ; pcouibe's " fine sermon" (see last Republican) on it. The article in Question, We are obliged to postpone for wan? of space. j news fr m Charleston by the last evening's papers, indicates that Fort Sum ter is silenced, and that its surrender to our ] forces must immediately follow. Fort Wag j ner is in much the same condition. Later news by telegraph says that the surrender has been made, and that the Rebels have been allowed 24 hours to remove their women and i children from the city, preparatory to a final ' Rtfrck on •? by our forces The Lash for White Men. Captain J. Heron Foster, a prominent Re publican politician, formerly editor bfthe Pittsburgh Dispatch , and still its —a few years ago Clerk of the State Senate— and now, by President Lincoln's appoint ment, Provost Marshal of Allegheny cudnty, hns recently outraged humanity Ryan act "of brutality whicn will render his name as in famous as that of thj Austrian butcher Hay nan. By the orders of this petty t'yrant, a white, man named n*gen, who. is alleged to have deserted from the 63rd Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, afterward* enlist ed as a substitute, and then deserted again, was without form or authority of law, lash ed with a cowhide until his back was like a a piece of raw flesh, and he sunk dow in ut ter exauslion. The facts of this brutal act are fully prov ed by the testimony of several witnesses, one of whom was Dr. Kinz. the Examining Surgeon on duty in the Provost Marshal's office, whose statement we co,.y ; SR. Kiwe's STATEMENT. The first I knew of this affair Captain McHonry entered rfty office, and seizing the -man Ilagan, who was sitting on a chair near me, said, " God d—n you, we want you : come out here." Ragen was then tsken out to the foot of the stairs, where McHeury said to the Sergeant. " Take hi m np stairs and give him twenty-five lashes," and, after a pause, added, " Yes. God d—n hira, give fif ty." He also told the Sergeant to put the hand-cuffs on him and get the cowhide— Hagen was then hand-cuffed and taken up stairs. 1 followed to tho bead of the stairs, but I could not bear the idea of seeing a white man whipped, to I turned acd came down. I caw the man after he was flogged, and lre9sed his wuunds yesterday and to day. Ilia back was all cut uib along and across. I should say from the appearance of his back that he received from sixty to seventy lashes* There were several persons by when the flogging took place, and Me- Ilenry told tne himself to-day that he held the man while the stripes were being pat on- ihts is all I know about the matter. This affair has naturally caused some ex citement in Pittsburgh, and Foster, in de fence of his conduct, has published a card, in which he admits that he had the man whipped and that he acted without authority of law, but undertakes t J justify his act on the ground that he knew of no law under which to punish desertion, aod is wiiling to sub init to any penalty under the law for pun ishing assault and battery. This outrage, cruel and totally anj ustifia ble as it was, need not cause much surprise under the present circumstances. When the supreme authorities at Washington set the example of inflicting" Cruel and unusual punishments," contrary to Constititution sad law, and under rto more vallid warrant than Executive Proclamations snd Military Order*, it is not to be wondered at, that their syco phantic underlings should imitate their bad example. If Burn6ide may suppress news papers, and imprison free citizens, in viola tier of the civil law, by the power of the bayonet—if Stanton may order the arrest oi editors and civilians anywhere, without foi mal accusation and without trial, ami may keep them incarcerated in forts and dungeons at his own will and pleasure—if the Presi dent himself may, by a mere stroke of pen, deprive of home and birthright a citizen of Ohio whose political opinions are obnoxious to him—why may not the Provost Marshal of Pittsburgh act the tyrant over a poor and friendless soldier who who incurs his dis. pleasure? The outrages, now of at mot-1 daily occurrences, are only the fruit of the pernicious teachings of " the highr law " and prove that, when once the example is set o' substituting the will (genoaly synonymous with the the whtm and prejudice) of the mag istrate forlhe rule and limitation of law, there ja noex'retne of wrong and arbitrary tyrran ny to which the people may not be subjected In the pre-eut case, whatever may have been the provocation, Foster's act not only a gross violation of law itself, but an abuse of his office and a usurpation of power. The crime of desertion is a military offence, for which the laws of the United States provide the mode of trial by Court Martial, and spe cial punishment on conviction. $o officer of the Government can usurp these power-, and, without prosecution and trial, condemn and punish at his will and pleasure. The outrage is greater in this case, btccause flogging is no longer considered a fit punishment for the United States service, and has been entirely abolished by act of Congress in our Navy. The moment a civillian puts on the gold lace of an officer, he seems naturally to fall into tvrranny of the profession, as if, hy the abue of his power, he would beat entitle himself to the respect and consideration of bis superiors. fbe Delegate Election*. Before oar next issue the delegate elec (ions for the different townships will be held ; and a meeting of the delegates chosen in county convention. for the purpose of nominating candidates to be supported at our next goneral election will be had. In some place- the contest between rival candi date* for nomination, will doubtless engen der strife and heated blood. As between members of the sAitfe party, having in view the good of the Coiftitfy tfxTs shuitfd be avoid ed. Good men—honest and true to the principles of the party should be selected as delegates, without reference to their particu lar preferences to individual candidates ; and their choice of Candidates, at the convention, should be cheerfully acquiesced in. No sin' gle man has a right to dictate what the peo ple shall do in this matter. No man has a right to say that he and no me else shall be the candidate, for any particular office— The people have the right to decido who shall be their standard bearers and should be left free to make that choice. t*he ue of mone) as a bribe to influence opiniofre, is de structive of the fundamental principles of Democracy, and if any man is base enongh to resort to its use at our county conventions or elsewhere, he should not be listened to for a moment, or recognized as a true Dem ocrat. Our opponents who have brought ruin Upon the country, by bribery and cor ruption, sh >uld never be allowed to say to u* •' remove the beam from thine own eye." These admonitions may be, and doubtless are, unnecessary ; but the purity of our pri mary elections cannot be too closely guarded if we would secure a juat administration of the laws, a *eturn to the princples of our fathers, and restore peace and prosperity to eur now ruined and distracted country. Delegate Elections. The Democratic electors of the several Townships in Wyoming County and Tunk hannock Borough, are requested to meet at the several election Districts on Saturday, the 29th inst., between the hours of two and hve o'clock, P.

A Southern View on the Political Parties of the North. Our Abolition exchanges are full of south ern opinions on the •' peace sneaks" of the north, as thc-y call Democrats—those who are in faVot of the Union. They however d 6 not choose to publish the estimation in which they are held by their southern allies, who are most heartily cooperating with them in their efforts to destroy it. It is but natural that the secessionists and abolitionists who arc striving for the same base object—the destruction of the Union and Constitution, should have a mutual hatred of Democrats and democratic principles. The subjoined extract frdm a southern pa per shows how they look upon thoi r friends of the uorth and " accounts for the milk in the cocoanut." [ffrom the Mobile Register.] We thank God from the depths of our hearts that the authorities at Washihgton snubbed Vice President Stephens in his late attempt to confer with them on internation al affairs, without form or ceremony. It has long been known here that this gefiiletiian thought, if ho could got to whisper in'o the ; ears of some men about Washington, the re sult might be terms of peace on some sort of 1 Union or reconstruction. He seemed to i forget ihat D >uglss, with whom he used to ] serve, is dead ; and notwithstanding his ; mantle has fallen, by dividing itiito four places, upon Richardson and Vouchees, Vul- j landigham and Pugh. still the Democratic , party is not in power now, au 1 we may thank God for it. The prospect looked gloomy to the Vice President, whose infirmity of body no doubt casts a shadow over hi 3 spirits, and he said that one of two things must be done—either some terms must be made, or ! the whole militia of the confederacy must be called out and an immediate alliance pro- 1 posed witti foreign powers. President Davis | save him fuV. pixcers to treat on honorable terms, ana started him off to the kingdom of > Abraham. But falher Abraham told him j there was an impassable g'ilf between them, and the Vice President had to steam back to } Richmond, a little top-fallen. We hope this will put a stop forever to some croakers about here who intimated that there are peo ple enough friendly to the South in the North to restore the Union as it. was. And we also hope that the government at Rich inorid will not humiliate itself any more, but ! from thifc time will look only to the cr.e end j of final and substantial independence. The j North is not less set on a purpose of final separation than we are. The Republican party are not fighting to restore this Union any more than the old Romans fought to es- : labhsh the independence of the countries! they invaded. The Republicans are fight- j mg for conquest and dominion , we for liber ty and independence. There is only one party in the North who j want this Union restored, but they have no more power—legislative, executive, or judi cial—than the paper wo write on. It is 'rue they make a show of union and atrenght, but they have no voice of authority. We know that the Yallandigham school wants the Union restored, for lie told us so when he was hero in exile, partaking of such hos pitality as we extended to a real enemy to >ur siruggle for separation, bani.-hed to our mil by another enemy who is practically more our friends than he. And if Vallandig harn should, by accident or other cause, be comes governor of Ohio, we hope Lincoln will keep his nerves to the proper tension, md not ailow him to enter the confines o! the state. His administration would do uore to restore the old Union titan any oth -r power in Ohio could do, and therefore we pray that he may be defeated. Shou'd a strong Union party spring up i:i Ohio, the third state in the North in political import ance, it might find a faint response in some Southern states and gire m trouble. Bat as ionz as the Republicans hold power they will think of conquest an i dominion only, and we, on the other hand, will cme up in solid column for freedom and independence, which we will b„- ceriaiu to achieve, with such assistance as we rniy now (after tlio re fusal of the Washington cabinet to coaler) confidently expect, before the Democrats of 'he North get in power again, and come whispering in our ears, " Union, reconstruc tioni, Constitution, conce-sion, *and guaran tees." Away with all such stuff! We want separation. Give us rather men like Thad ileus Stephens and Charles Sumner. Then cur*e the aid Union and despise it and so do toe. And we now promise these gentle men that, as they hate the Union and the ''accursed Constitution," let them keep down Vallandighatn and ids party in the North ; then they shall never be troubled by us with such whi mg about the Constitution a nd Union as they are sending up. Tyoyal Resolutions. " Resolved, That the earth is the Lord's and its heritage belongs to Ilis Saints. " Resolved, That we are His Saints." The above are the resolutions said to have been passed by a contention of superfine re-j ligious men, who' imagined themselves to be true Christians, and ali the rest Heathens,— The absurdity of their action is only equalled by the course of some of the noisy " loyalists" who fill our pubtlc offices, and advocate " uo> party," so that Ihfey may be able to retain them. These person*, if not by actual words by every day couduct, declare as follows : " Resolved. That we are the only patriotic men in the community. " Resole ed that all others are Copperheads and Traitors. " Resolved, That as only ' loyal men' should be in office, all efforts to remove us are ' sympathizing with treason." Tr x>p at Elections. By the 95th section of the Act of Assem bly of the State of Pennsylvania of 2d July, 1839, it is enacted that— " NO BODY OP TROOPS IN THE AR "MY OF THE UNITED STATES, OR OP ' THIS COMMONWEALTH, SHALL BE " PRESENT, EITHER ARMED OR UN " ARMED, AT ANY PLACE OF ELEC TION WITHIN THIS COMMONWEALTH DURING THE TIME OF SUCH ELEC " TION." In order that no exccse for want of time may bo alleged, we now thus oaVly in advance call on Governor Curtin that he see* to the execution of this law in letter and spirit, at the October elections. We detfiafid, in the name of a Democracy and a State already outraged and insulted by a denifcl of our State authority and a suppression 6f its dig nity, the rigid execution of this law. All Uoops must be absent from places of elec tion iu this State cn the 13th of 'October next, or the Democracy will see, If the Gov ernor dare not, that the laws of our Com monwealth are not trampled down at Feder al behest. It had better ba understood thus early in the day that the farce of the Ken tucky elections cannot be repeated in Penn sylvania—that we are determined to have a free, fair, and honest election, according to the laws nj our own Slate —and if the Feder al satrap who now rules this Province of the National Government fails to do his doty in the matter, an outraged people will supply the remedy.— Age.
