Let no one who is liable, be entirely unprepared for the emergency. The Juggernautal car, with its great iron wheels, moves on, making its deep and ineffacablo furrows in the fair face of our country. Those who possess tke money it exacts in lieu of the person, may for a time appease the monster; those who do not, must "bow to their destiny" and place themselves in its path— marked ss it is, by the bones cf hundreds of thous ands of human victories. Hew many a mother's heart it has wrung with anguish, inexpressible, and left it laoerated and breeding in its coarse 1 How many thousands of helpless, dependent widowed mothers, orphaned children, havte felt or will yet feel the chilling winds of winter, pinching and be numbing their shivering limbs? How many will cry unheeded for bread, and pray to G >d through the long tedious vigils of the night, to save and re store their husbands and fathers? And all because the Idols—the great central Despots who drive the infernal machine, has willed it to be so. Will any candid man affirm that motives of honesty, justice j or mercy has influenced the tyrants who rule but to ruin. We want these men who thirty months ago " let slip the dogs of war" who adopted as their motto " not an inch of compromise, not an inch of slave ter ritory," and who screeched in their fiendish infatua tion, " war to the knife, the knife to the hilt," to stand up before the gaze of the honest men of this connty, to day, and tell us whut has been gained and what has not been lost in this cruel, Iratrlcidal war ; and who are responsible for all the evils and miserv which has followed and will yet follow in its train? "It is said that there will soon bo an example made of a drafted man who did not appear when or dered. He will be shot as a deserter."— Republican of last iceek. If this harsh measure Is deemed Decessary, and is about to be resorted to by the authorities, we would just intimate that one Billy Burgess, late of Colum bia Co., Pa.—Editor of the Wyoming Republican, wts drafted nearly a year ago, was never legally discharged or excused, and has never reported him self for military duty, but is now roaming at large. That be would be an excellent subject for "on ex ample," or for any other scare crow purposes, we have no doubt. Besides it w juld not seem so cruel or unjust to take this "old uffe'tder"—this draft sneak of eleven months standing, as to take some poor Devil who has only had a fortnight's notice.— " Let justice be done though the heavens fall;" or Sweet William be torn away from " the cause of educa.ion, for an " example." The Republican of last week says : " Fifty deserters per day are sent to Harrisburg from various portions of the state. They belong to Copperhead families,*' Of course Billy, all that are returned are copper heads. The niggerheads, have a convenient way of getting excused You know ''the cause of educa- I tion, was about "to suffer" in your case ; so that [ one more pair of handcuffs was reserved for some | copperhead who tried to play the sneak as you did i but was less successful in it. . We cannot understand why so much time and . money-is expended in arreg'ng and re tujning these copperheads whom you represent as disloyal, and so, much in favor of Jeff. Davis. We should , think 'thatone such real Loyal niggerhead sneak like you weuld be worth a score of them. A friend at our elbow suggests that you are doing more, ig your present situation, to aid Jeff-in fcis schemes of disunion, than a Regiment of su%h' white liveied milksops could in his army.

ABRAHAM LIRCOLK, By the President: WM. 11. SEWARD, Secretary of State. General Jim Lane recently made a apoech which, for its atrocity, is unrivaled. Here what he says and remember that he is an abolition Senator : " You have decided that there can bo no safety to Kansas except through the extermination of the rebel citizens in those border counties of Missouri We have had officers at the head of the Department of the Missouri who believed in a war of extermina tion against those bushwhackers. General Curtis was in favor of it. * • • • Not for mere butch ery—not for the gratification o| mere prejudice—but for sdlf-presei vation we believe in p war. of extermi nation. Our opinions and judgments were deliber ately founded Extermination-—I Tepeat here that for self-preservation, there shall be extermination of the first tier of counties in Missouri, and if thaf UOB' t stsure us, then the second and third tier, and tier on tier till we are secure. , • • .* • • • e '■ ** *- 4 • • ft When I was in Missouri thh bther day I took par ticular pains to inquire for the best Umoa -mania the country. I was directed to a man named Hook. I rode to his house and had a conversation with this bean ideal of a Union man. I asked him his polities. lie answered mo very quickly that he was Union—my men close by at tho time.. I aked him what he meant by ' Union.' He said that he was in favor of the Union as it was and the Consti tion as it is. 1 askecf fllta what he meant by that- He said: " I'own aiggers. r ylf we have the Union as it was, and my' niggeii Yftn pflj' I can recover them. If we can't have the Union pdit -was, then I am in favor of the Siuthern confederacy." I then asked him how long sinee ho had seen any bush whackers. He said : " Mr. Woodward was here to day for dinner. I saw your soldiers* told him he hsd better not go near them. I hear rebels at my corn-crib almest every night.. 1 1 neyer interfere with them. Quantrel came here the other morning on his way to Lawrence and ordered breakfast for fifty, and got it." (A voice—" Where is Hook now?") In hell. I left him in the hands of the Executioner. I will tell you what I want to see. I want to see every foot of ground in Jackson,' Cass,' and Bates counties burned over—everything (aid waste Then we shall have no further trouble. The bush whackers then cannot remain in the country, for they will have nobody to feed thein--- nobody to harbor them—nobody to provide Ihem with transportat ion no place to sleep in---aod will have thirty-five miles lurthcr to'walk before. they reach Kansas." The Views of Gen. CMS. The radical press is attempting to .connect the name of the venerable Cass with certain ' Republican movements. He was invited to address an abolition meeting lately held in Indianapolis, When the name and livery of Democracy were sielen lo serve radic alism withal. It may be well to reiterate that Gen. Cass has no part or lot witu the Republicans in any shape or under any name. llis position is fixed in the ranks oi the conservatives. It is thus d< fined by ■himself in a recent letter addressed to thti. Democra cy of the County of Washington, in Pennsylvania:— " I have come to look with almost as jnuch solici tude upon tbe action of the Democratic Party in its primary meetings as lor the result of aui conflict in arms; for tbe reason that it is now clear that the perpetuity of our present lorm of government tests upon the patriotism, intelligence, forbearance, end consistent course of ction by the Democratic party. The Jacobins and radicals who are the leading spir its of the political party in power seem quite as in tent on destroying our civil rights as in whipping the rebels into subjection . It i 9 our duty to insist on tbe preservation intact of the form of government es tablished in 1789 , and that the territorial limits of the nation shall never be diminished. To attain this end, ire must see that the government is not al lowed to fall'to pieces. We must hold the execu tive agents of the gsvernment to their duty, until we can by moans of the ballot-box put in their stead those who will administer the government as it was formed by our ancestors " •It will be hard to make a Republican-of the veter an who uttered these sentiments. ; I3T A Friend of a soldier who is suffering from a wound that may cause him to be a cripple for life, tbe other day said th him: —" Well Tour, do jou feel like going back into the army when.you ahal 1 hare recovered from your wound ?" The soldier thought a moment and then replied.—"No, I believe not; unless I could go as an officer br aigge r COM MU MI CATION ft* Mi EiiflK • ~s* 6 • i It is hooej" t*hat a single tJjropgh your co l&A*,*t<r46hM is made the df ace your* paper, a card and -eaftdfr articles in the Republican, will be aetisfeetbry to paJtHstte mediately concerned end also to the public. The subject referred to, is the "Bible view of slave ry," which yob recently published and the discus sions and criticisms that it has drawn forth. We now have also*a cb'&ll&njfe to discuss this question : *' Is American slaverj consistent with Christianity or with the Bible 1" *3. • To this challenge or invitation the Rev'd Elder says he 'iCtftf expebt a prompt add categorical an swer"—" let'fb'ere be no (lodging." * How naturally this suggests the question : Was not the Elder's ex pectation "like a woman's character, damaged the moment he oommenoed talking about it?" Did he really expect a " categorical ajijsrer ?" No doubt he desired one, bat is be entitled to It T Such es he is thought to merit is given, ieaving to him the free exereise of his own discretion in determining the number and character of his own communications— to dodge and at the same time admonish against it as he may see fit. Does the question propounded by the Elder differ in any way from tbe one disensseu by the Bishop ? Is it not the same stated with less precision! If so, why does he not reply to the Bishop's argutn =nt 1— Those who heard the Elder's sermon, and the read ers of the various newspaper articles will bear wit ness that no single text of Scriptures or argument of any kind whatever has yet been adduced in an swer to tbe Bishop's letter. Truly he has been ac cused of "special pleading," of "misquoting the scriptures" and of being "ignorant," but have we yet one particle of evidence te sustain these charges 1 It will be searched for in vain. The Rev'd Elder says in his " card" in the Republican . that, if his "sermon was what the author of the ar tide repre sents it to have bean, he has shown little courage and less sense to notice it;'' —"that weak and feeble as tbe arguments in the seimon are represented to have been, he has occupied throe columns in the Democrat to demolish what had no existence." Why did Dot the Elder make this statement in hie communication to the Democrat, whose readers, baring read the review of the ee.-tnen were prepared to judge it. It was expressly stated in the review t tat "we should have preferred that this sermon had been left with those who heard it." It was on ly because the Editor of the Republican, who did not hear it, and who did not pretend to give any of the pretended arguments, while ho pronounced it, on hear-say evidence, a clear refutation" of the Bish op's letter, that it was deemed worthy of notice ; and it was hinted very plainly, that perhaps the indorse ment of the Republitan hardly rendered it worthy of attention. If the Elder construes this into a com pliment, he is really thankful for exceedingly small favors. It is not to be won dered at that his vanity sees nothing in the discussion of a Bible question but an opportunity for the exhibition of " polemical skill, legal lore and logical acumen." This confes sion is rather more than was expected from the El der. It was this that was endearored to be pointed out to him in the revi- w of his sermon, —that ho ex hibited himself rather than his subject—or preached himself rather than Christ. Neither were his arguments, demolished. They were simply reproduced, as their absurdity was elearer in the mere statement of them, than it could ke made by qomment. So true is this that on re viewing them in a "Cooler mood, they appear So have so crumbled before the Elder's better judgment as to lead him V> believe that they had be n demo ished . No reply to the Elder was attempted further tkan to compare his sermon wi;h the Bishop's letter. — This he concedes was props', 5* sermons are " pub lic property." What right then had ho to throw out the chi Uenge he did, accompanying it with impu dent restrictions as to (he manner of acceptance or refusal. How magnanimque toa to present a chal lenge—for the discussion of a question,, upon which frotn bis position and attempts at ho ia presumed to be thoroughly versed, to one asking in. formation of him; and so to frama the .issue as to place.the party challenged on the affirmative. Aside from this, how improper. The institution of slavery is older than our government, reno*n'*od by it, an<l still we are called upon to prove that it is /jonsist ent with the Bible. If inconsistent wifti the Bible, thea all the laws appertaining to it woubihave been void, and yet we find no court so deciding ; for in deed we find it recognized in the fundamental law of the land. It is therefore to be regarded as con sistent with the Bible, until proved otherwise. Un der all the circumstances than it wonld have been much more proper and oourteous if the Elder had propose' this question. "Is the institution of Amer ican slavery, inconsistent with the Bible," himself as the challenging party, taking the affirmative of the issue and leading ih the discussion. If the El der sees fit so to modify his propositions, in aooor dance with every rule of propriety, the challenge is accepted, not however on my part for the purpose of displaying " polemical skill, legal lore or logical ac uircn." The glory of this is left to the Elder, as he only appears to bo seriously exercised upon such matters* Iu no other way can the excessive gener osity that prompted the tendering of a subject for discussion, peculiarly within the sphere of his own calling, accompanied with such suggestions, be ac ounted for. The alternative is omitted in the above statement of the question for the reason that if alavory is con sistent with the Bible, it is presumed to follow that it is consistent with Christianity. , Since the Elder has expressed a hope that I may repent, in a tone that precludes all idea of a possi bility of change on his part, while disclaiming abili ty properly to discuss the question, I hold myself open to conviction, . And as I am not conscious of anything in the character of this article, or else where', that would require a protest of my love " for* truth, righteousness or my country," I subscribe, simply, x J.

ARREST or EDITORS AND PUBLISHERS, AND SUP PRESSION or A NEWSPAPER —Between one and two o'clock yesterday, General Schenck, commanding this Department, issued a peremptory order to Colonel Fisb, Provost Marshal, tor the suppression of the Bal timore Republican, a daily evening newspaper, pub lished by Messrs. B. H Richardson it Co.; also for the arrest of the editors snd publishers. It is need less to say that the order Was immediately carried out, and the keys of the offioe are now in possession of the military authorities. Messrs. Stephen J. Joyce and Fraacis A. Richardson, members of the firm, be ing at the publication office, were at once taken into custody, placed under a- close guard, and conducted to the office ef Colonel Fish, where they were eonfiin ed Mr. Beale H. kichardaon,/the senior pa truer, was shortly afterward* arrested at bis residence, and imprisoned with the otbetc. General Schenck also ordered that these three prisoners shonld not be al lowed to communicate with any one for any purpose whatever, and that at half past eight o'clock last nigbt they should be placed upon the train for Har per's Ferry, to be sent across the lines, not to return during the war, under the penalty of being treated as spies They were not allowed to make any arrange ments about business matters or clothing; in fact, the orders were the most peremptory and severe which have yet been issued here in relation to such prisoners. They were escorted to the depot last night by a heavy guard, with a view to prevent any com munication between tbem and their friends All these gentlemen arc married, and Mr. Joyce has quite a large family. It is stated that the cause of the arrest and suppression was the publication on Thursday afternoon of a piece of poetry entitled " The Southern Cross," as well as the publication-of. other articles, upon different occasions, r-gared.d as disloyal in their tendencies. Late last evening, it is learned, General Schenck gave permission to the prisoners to receive a small sum of money und a sup ply of clothing. Shortly befote the truin left the de pot the wives of the prisoners appeared, wi*h written permission from General Scheuek .for a intervew, which was brief and*fleeting in the extreme.'
