Why, that is a mere bagatelle—a beggars pittance—a com i tractor coold gain such a sum in a day's i operations ! To be sure men who have filled the Presidential office heretofore have not sought it for its perquisites—but when a great war is raging—when debt is piled mountain high upon the nation, it is a " mili tary necessity" that " the Government" ! should have hia share of the public plunder. TVon't be modest, gentlemen shoddyites. llow Will SIOO,OOO do for his immediate and ! personal wants? then create a yearly stipend for " Mrs. Govfcfnment"—say of $30,000 a year to keep her in scarlet cloaks, " loves of j bonnets," Ac., that sue may not, like Miss ! Flora MoFlitnsey, have " nothing to wear." ; Then we must not forget Bob and Thod , let j them noi want for spending money—we can j not be too generous to this inestimable fami ly. Why not get up a scale of salaries and ' incomes for them all, taking for a pattern the ! royal house of England ? Why 6*nould not jour ''shoddy" conrt vie with that of St. James 1 Our debt is almost as large—we have a tax on everything—we are better than the old dynasties of Europe, for they are fettered with the " habeas corpus" and such relics of old fogyisin—they cannot conscript and drag from their homes, to fight for an idea, their poor and laboring classes, as can our " strong" Government—men do not grovr (at and rich in a day there, fattening and profiting by the people's misery. Oh yes: all means incrtase ' the Government's t by salary-it would be a fitting and prelimi nary step to declaring him dictator while the I war lasted, and then making war perpetual. Is there anything else " Honest Abe" would like that Uncle Sam can procure for him ? Tobe sure, the spltre change of that benev dent old uncle of ours could be profitably laid out in relieving the wants of soldiers' families and making the soldiers themselves more com fortable this coming winter; but then it would not show near so well.— Bridgton Farmer. M isnamlng their parly. The abolitionists, who have done their best to pervert the war for the Union into a war for abolition, are now doing their best to shuttle off the name " Republican" and to figure as members of the "Union" party.— They call'themselves the " Union party."— We don't know wV.y, They have no claim to the name. The Democratic party is the only Union party. The Democratic party took upon themselves reproach, to avoid dis union for the saka of the Union. They were derisiwl ai'd "Union Savers." The abo litionists <• not true Union men. They have change J their name but not their nature. Any man who sustains the Emancipation proc lamation—goes for the emancipation of the blacks in defiance of state laws—that man is an abolitionist. Ife cannot get over it. It does not follow that a man who changes his name changes his nature, and so it is with politics. It reminds us ot the story of a married couple out West who had a baby whom they named Moses. But he had not been baptized. So some years after when they had determined to baptize him not lik ing the name of Moses, they concluded to re name him Robert. But there was no preacher in that section of the country, and they finally thought they would go down to the river and baptize the boy themselves. In ducking him into the water they sang out, "Go in Moses, and come out Bob." But he was the same old boy after all. So with the Republican party. Though the name is changed, they are the same, from Lincoln down to the meanest provost marshal.—Eds ton Argus. Army operations seem to"have dome to a dead stop in Virginia. Our troops are once more encamped on the south bank of of the Rapahannock, and General MEADE, in stead of being on the front examining the po sit'on of the enemy, is hobnobbing in Wash ington With the President, General HAM.ELK and other dignitaries. It is also announced that in all probability he will attend the Get tysburg celebration next Thursday, on which occasion he will be accompanied by detach ments from all tho divisions of the army. If this in true the campaign in Virginia is over for this year. The recent heavy rains also, which have muddled the roads and swollen the streams, will probably compel a suspension of hostilities for a time, if" not for ihe season. It may be that these semi-official outgivings respecting General MEADE'S probable move- meats are merely to deceive the enemy, and that he really lutends to cross the Itaf>idan and Gompel LCF. to give hitn battle ; but stiil all the probabilities point to the cessation of hostilities in Virginia.— World.

Vallandigham. Some of the opposition are still abusing Vallandigham. Some few of the basest sort still harp about that " forged letter," but ev ery honorable man among the opposition either backs out from saying anything about it, or offers an apology for having given it circulation. The truth is, vallandigham is head and shoulders above any man now in the opposition ranks, so far as the attribute of manliness. The mere fact that he was most unjustly exiled by a secret Star Cham ber Court, presided over by a low set of Lin coln's creatures one of whom once kept a house of ill repute and is now a fugitive from justice from the State of New Jersey, while the principal, the Judge advocate of that commission, Captain Cutts, has been dis missed from the anny for lying stealing and springing upon ? lady EN DISHABILLE at the Burnett house, Cincinnati, for which he was sentenced to five years imprisonment, work* no disgrace to Vallandigham. Nearly 200,- 000 votes cast for him in Ohio proves be is yet a power in the State. The fact of being endorsed by such a number of his fellow citi zens, is gall and wormwood to his foes and that they feel sore anu enraged over, it is at tested by the manner in which they abuse him. Mrs. liincon's Grand Ball, The first ball ever given in the white house. Over eight hundred invitations were issued. Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln stationed themselves in the centre of the F.ast Boom, and received the guests. For one hour the throng moved in a current: and when the rooms were full, the Marine Band, stationed in their usual po sition, began playing operatic airs of the fin est description at eleven. A large apartment was thrown open at twelve o'clock, with an immence punch-bowl in the centre ; and sand witches, &.C., around it. The supper was set in the dining room, and was considered one of the finest displays of gastronomic art ever seen in this country. It cost thousands of dollars. The bill of fare was: (Here up wards of thirty dishes are described.) The tables fairly bent under expensive luxuries heaped one upon another. At twelve the dining room was thrown open for inspection, and guests passed in and viewed it, prepara tory to the demolition of the artistic pile.— Nearly all the Generate in this army were there* The ladies were dressed in the high est of fashionable extravagance."—Wash. Cor Cm. Gazette, (Hep.) Nero fiddled while Rome was burning.— Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln give gay and expensive entertainments while the country is in the last throes of dissolution, and while the peo ple are taxed to the utmost to sustain the policy which is destroying it. " Nearly all the Generals in tho army were there !"

What They Me ail. ! This miserable whine that Republicans set up at party opposition, when they themselves : are the most intolerant partisans, ever known, 1 is both cowardly and contemptible. If they | ask U6 not to be partisans, let them cease to | be partisans themselves for they are in the ; j administration. They may cry " the country j and the Union" as long and as loudly as they please. They mean consolidation, paper money i tariffs and meddling with other peoples bust-' I ness. Democracy means strict Construction, t State rights, gold and not paper money, free j trade and minding your own business. That ' j such a policy will ultimately prevail wt, have j no more doubt than we have in the truth of# the Christian religion. As to the anti slavery I branch of the Republican faith, the Democra- 1 cy holds it unjust, unconstitutional, unwise, I unnecessary and unchristian. The Detnocra- ! cy holds that Christianity means self-sacrifice, ' j not insisting ou others making sacrifices. I -r— - Who shall be the Dtunocratic nomi nee for the Presidency ?

We have been fre ; qnenlly asked who is the proper man to I nominate ? We have to reply that we are ' not prepared to give an opinion. A few months in these times work wonderful revo -1 lution* in the public mind,"and hence it may 1 be better not to be in a hurry, to watt a lit- i 1 tie. Had we a epesial favorite Ivr nomina tion, which we have not, we should consider that we were not rendering him or the cause i any good service by putting him forward now. i The public miud is unsettled, and politicians and mauagcrg bad better bo patient for a few months. The cause of Democracy, which is the causo of the country, will lose nothing by this course. At least such is our opinion, j COMMUNICATIONS. ♦ For The Democrat. NICHOLSON, NOV. 10, 1865; MR. EDITOR This morning several wag on loads of conscripts started from this place to have their fortunes tested in the grand lottery now being drawn at Towanda. I do not envy them their ride over the bleak hills of Susquehanna and Bradford, for tho air is filled with flakes of snow, and " old Boreas'' blows his gusty blasts with almost the rude majesty of mid-winter. It is cold and blus tering and dreary enough out of doors, and those who can, huddle around the glowing an thrancite and feel thankful for the comfort thus enjoyed. Winter, with ,! frozen mantle bound," is stalking into our midst, and soon the winds will have piped the refiain of the dying year. The frost is creeping, creeping over the lower panes, one alter another*. Now it finishes feathers ; now it completes a plume ; now it tries its hand at a specimen of silver graining. Up, up it goes, pane after pane, clouds and feathers and grams. Ilcre a joint, there a nail cracks liky a craft in a lacking storm, but all is calm and cold as death. Clink goes a forgotten glass in the pantry. The door- latch is plated ; half hidden nail heads here and there in the corners, are silvered over with frost. But what care we for frost or cold or wind "or storm, as wo gather around our ugly, heal <h destroying stoves, or si' by the healihful, cheerful old-fashioned firesides, —now, alas ! so strangely out of use that they are mere myths to the present generation ; but to many of us they are a reality linked with the fondest, dearest memories of home and early youth. Cog, back stick, fore stick top stick and superstructure, all in their places. The coals are turned from their glow ing bed between the sentinel andirons—the old time irons, with hnge rings in the top.— One of them has rested for many a day, on a broken brick, but what of that ? Many a beautiful tree, nay, a whole grove may be, has turned to glory and to ashes thereon, and may again, winters and winters to come. A haniful of" kindlings" is placed beneath this future temple of flame ; here and there a c'sup, a splinter, a dry twig, is skillfully chinked into the interstices of the structure; a wave or two of the housewife's wand of power, and the hearth is " swept up." The old bricks in that altar place of home begin to grow hi ight, and "as good as new." A little spring flame, amhitiou6 to be something and somebody, creeps stealthily up, and peeps up through the crevices, over this stick, un der that one, looking like a little half-furled banner of crimson. There comes auother and another, and down they go again, the timid flames that they are ! By-and by they grow bolder, and half a dozen altogether, curl bravely roun d " the fore-stick," and up to " the top-stick," and over tire whole, like the turrets of a tower at sunrise, one, two, three, four, five spires. Then they blend together, a cone of flame. Then they turn into billows and breakers ol red, and roll up the blacken ed wall of the chimoey, above the jamb, above the mantle-tree, away up the chimney it roves, while the huge " back-stick" below all, lies like a great bar, and withstsnds the fiery aurf that beat c agavust it. The circle of chairs is enlarged : the " old arm-chair" in the corner, is drawn back ; one is reading, another is knitting; a third, a wee bit of a boy, is asleep in the corner; they look into each other's faces, look beatiful to each other, and and take courage and are con tent. There is uot a shadow in the spacious room ; the frost creeps down from' the win dows ; the ice in the pail in the corner gives a half lurch, iike the miniature ice-berg it is 5 and over it goes with a splash. The fire is gaining on it. The latch and the nails lose, the bravery of their silvering; the circle around the fire grows larger and larger ; the old fashioned fire has triumphed. It is Summer there, it is light there. The flowers of hope spring up around it; the music of memory fills up the pauses ; the clock ticks softly from its niche above the mantle-piece, as if fearful of letting them know how fast it is stealing away with the hours—hours the happiest, alas ! we sel d'>m live but once—hours whose gentle light so often shines from out the years of the long gone morning, on into the twilight of life's latest close. Ah ! necromancers swept the macic circle in times of old, hut t here are none so beautiful, none with charms so potent, as the circle of light and love around the old fashioned fire I am losing sight of the conscripts, though Of the thirty-three men, drafted from this town, it 16 not probable that one will be pro cured for the service of" Father Abraham." All have gone forth to their examination well provided with pleas for exemption, or with the " green backs" in their pockets where with to purchase freedom from the perils and liabilities incumbent upon those who eat the " hard tack" and wear the raiment of the aforesaid " Father Abraham." If another draft should be resorted to, as undoubtedly it will be, after the sth. of January, some altera tion or modification ol the present law must be made, ifit i< the intention to procure men instead rf money. There were six car loads of freight shipped fi'o.u this Depot one day last week, and the general average has been for a month or more past, about four cars per day, including those loaded with lutnber. The shipments of grain have not, as yet, amounted to any considers ble quantity ; but the surplus will find its way into the hands of buyers here. When prices become somewhat less fluctuating, aud through them to market. Mr. Taylor is driving fh? work upon his mill as rapidly as possible; and, I am inform ed, hopes to have it in full operation before tho close of the present month. It will sup ply a much needed want and be a great con venience to the entire neighborhoods Tho bridge at Bacon's is now in a fine way for completion, at an early day. The false works are up, and workmen are busily en gaged upon tho structure itself. The con tractor, P. B. Baldwiu, Esq., is &n experienced bridge builder, and will undoubtedly, turn out a good job, notwithstanding the discour agements he has had to contend with, from high water and other causes. In passing over the road from Factory ville to Tunkhannock," recently, I noticed that it was in a most wretched condition, and was informci that it had been permitted to re main so since the high water in September. The bridge across the South Branch was ut terly impassible, and irr many places the road itself was dangerous in the extreme. Ido not know who is responsible for this neglect to provide for the safety and convenience ol travelers over a thoroughfare so much used ; but wherever the responsibility rests, public notice should be taken of it, and prompt measures instituted to remedy the evil com plained of. The roads in Nicholson are not the best in the world, but then they are passably good, and, in the upper part of the township, at least have been worked beyond assessment made for that purpose. The Supervisor. Mr. Win. Stephens has made it his business to look af ter the good repair of his portion of the roads, and has in every, particular proved himself a most worthy and efficient officer. If you have any wood-choppers to spare from your neighborhood, good pay and wages are awaiting thein here, if tliey choose to avail themselves. Labor of every kind is scarce and in good demand, except mechanic a! employments uot common to new places. A good manufacturing tailor could not tind a location where a small capital would be more certain of an adequate reward. A cabinet maker is also much needed and would find ready sale for his wares. Items of interest are scarce as Summer birds. I promised in my last to date from another locality, but circumstances still make me a denizen of Nicholson, and lam thus compelled to draw from the already nea.ly exhausted stock on hand. Truly Yours, CLINT. — High Lite in Washington A Washington correspondent of the Inde pendent says : 41 There was a sight to bo seen in broad daylight a few days ago, in front of the Presidential mansion, which gave those who witnessed it a shocking idea of the on ward strides which the vice of intemperance has made in good society daring the last few years. A woman clad in the richest and most fashionable garments, with diamonds flashing from her slender fingers in the !ant western sunshine, sat upon the stone balus trade, unable to proceed on her homeward walk without betraying herself. At last she rose and started on, swaying to and fro, and yet soon rested again utterly unable to proceed. The carriage of a foreign minister passed by—the poor woman was noticed— and it turned, stopped, took in the lady and carried her to her luxurious home. For the lady is wealthy and occupies a high social position; but she was drunk iif the streets of Washing-ton 1" The greatest filly of my life was the issuing of the Emancipation Proclama tion." Such were the words of President Lincoln to Wendell Phillip9 last January, according to the testimony of the latter in a speech he made last week at the Music Ilall in New Haven. Before the issuing of that document, President Lincoln gave it as- his opinion that it would be of no more effect than the 44 pope's bull against the comet and after he had given it to the world he rs gards it as 44 the greatest folly of his life," and did not scruple to so inform one of the most influential leaders of the fanilical fac tien who had forced him into the objectiona ble measure. President Line In has made many notable femarks since he has been in office, but none that is likely t<> attract so much Attention as the above.— World. ■ Thaukssiviiig.

FPfT Instead of the Democratic majority , in tlie New Jersey Legislature being reduced, snytf the Paterson Guurdian, as alleged by the shoddy press, the contrary is the fact, as the Democrats have now on joint ballot two j thirds of the whole number. It is a singn'ar ' fact that two-thirds of the Senate is also j ocratic. Tery heavy prize is now offered by a club of " loyal " capitalists of Washing ton City for the most appropriate name for the rew Government which the Abolition party are now forming, and the best hymn or ode thereto. Some one, in advance, suggests " Niggerdom," as the name, and " John Brown's soul is marching on," as the ode.— Another suggests "Green B(t)ack land," and the "owed" a tabular summary of $2,000- 060,000 of the " Green-B(l) ack landers " money gone to thunder.
