Congress. But he recently made a speech ' at St. Louis, and said that he desired" the' re establishment of the Union as it was." He repudiated, as-all sensible and Union lov ing men do, the doctrine that any State has 1 ever been lawfully with Irawn from the Union.

The response is uni form, and may be judged from a long article in the Richmond Enquirer of the 2-lth of Oc. tober. of which the following- is an extract : e should ha\o dreaded the evil effects cf \ alhuyligHum and his copperheads, and his moral suasion, united, as it would be with a vigorous prosecution of the war—in one hand the sword, m the other money bribes, party alliance, constitutional guaran ties and honorable tenna. ■' 'lhese influen ces would still have found, we fear, certain of the meaner and m.-re stupid Confederates to listen and respond to the false promises' of Yankees. A crop of Abolititnists would ap pear again ; the natural allies of Northern Copptq,beads ar Southern blockheads, and original antj Exuhsts would again snuff at tbo fle-hpots of the Egyptians. ' Far better a? it is; the present programme happily insures to us a complete final and ir revocable separation from Yankees, which is the paramount political good."'* The Abolition orators and papers have al ways advised the ptop'e to vote " just as Jeff. Davis d.da't want theni to vote and we have no doubt that many hare intended to do 80.

Lee will be prepared at every point to give Meade a ter rible recept?or. Gen. Foster who is to relieve Bumside, hid reached Cincir.natti, snd waa to leave for Knoxville Monday. From Arkansas and Western Tennessee there arc reports of a few insignificant skirm ishes. -The Sangamon, a new iron-clad steamer, sprung a leak at her wharf in Washington, on Sunday and sunk. Twelve blockade runners arrived salely in Wilmington the week before last. The sea wall of Fort Sumpter has been en tirely destroyed. The rebels were building a bomb-proof in the ruins. Tho bombard ment still continues. Knuxville, Tenn., is not closely invested. Tho enemy have withdrawn from the south side of the river, and our troops now forage there. The column sent against Burnside, and now surrounding Knoxville, consists of three Confederate army corps. Longstreet aud Hardee are at Knoxville with 36,000 men, and Buckner with a reserve of 12,000, is at a point where he can aid Longstreet or Bragg, or operate against any federal force sent to raise the seigo. Rurnside, in Knoxville, has about 15,000 men. He has about twenty cannon, eighteen ! and twenty-four pounders, all field pieces and 1 no seige guna. Of his supplies, but little is 1 known. The transport Delaware, from Port Royal November 20, discovered on the 21 st, a steam er crossing her bows, and, making her out to be a blockade runner, gave chase immediate ly. The slearn ship Fulton coming up joined in the pursuit, and in a few hours the block ade-! unner surrendered, and pro Ted to be tho rebel steamer Banshee, from Nassau lor \V il unngton, with a cargo of great value. Another " YerV-ible Plot." The Administration has had another " big scare," caused by an anticipated raid on our Northern frontiers by rebel refugees Irom Canada. It had just settled down into a calm from the fright it had been thrown into by the revelation of the " great washer wo man conspiracy" in Ohio, which was to overturn the government and smash up things generally, but this last fright fairly threw its members, Seward, Stanton and com pany ofT of their pins. The Secretary of War sent off Gen. Dix to Buffalo in groat haste with men, munilious of war, put the United States war vessels on the lakes in full trim tor fighting, and ordered the lake cities to prepare for terrible resistance if they did not wish to be burned down by the auda cious invaders. The Administration pa pers iu the meantime howled fast and furiously. One of them fairly beset with tire niglitms.ro of Vallandighauiy bursts forth in this sensa tional style : " It was proposed by Davis's agents to let loose in Ohio an army of rebels, to pillage the lands and burn the lake cities aud their ship ping. The plot was a very pretty one, and if it had succeeded Mr. VallandtghSm's friends might have done more damage in Ohio than Gov. Seymour's fronds did in the State last July. Half a dozen rebel privateers on the great lakes would play havoc with the largest American merchant fleets now remaining aljoat: and two thousand rebel officers, well armed, as no doubt they would hare b4eh, and'thoroughly drilled and organized, as such' picked men would be, might have destroyed Buffalo, Cleveland, Sandusky, and ravaged a large part of Ohio before they could have been caught." All this great scare is not justified by any disclosures thus far made, although sufficient time has elapsed to bring out all material facts. There is no evidence that any vesse] large or small, armed or unarmed has b o en afloat anywhere on the lakes or been- in pos" session'of the rebels in any fake harbor (Tar government therefore has been (either inno cently or maliciously) hoaxed or rather it has foolishly hoaxed itself by going off half cocked* on rumors which it was too much flurried to weigh. How soon will Secretary Stanton be bamboozled again 7 ! MT Hon Ilenry B Stanton, who was for I arresting every Democrat who opposed Abo ; litionism, and who made a constant public parade of his "patriotism," has been suspen ded from the post of Assistant Collector, in the Custom House, for complicity with block I ade running. AH the Republican papers I strive to hide his guilt. The " patriotism " of the greater portion of them is undoubtedly lof the same stamp as Stanton's They are just such patriots as the duchess of Marl borough described in ITB6, when she wrote, '* I think that all the people in places, and those of the patriots that have a mind to have them, will keep and get all employ merits to the last moment, without any re gard to wfiht iriay happen in England. THF"RESEHVE CON>S._The Lancaster "EX press," on the authority of a'private letter from the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, says that noble body < f Pennsylvania ire havte rd enlisted for three years and that fhcyae coming North to spend the winter and re cruit their ranks. jST3T the Evening post says, " everything is very high." No, sir, stuff called money is very low. That T s what's the matter. If a man has a real old fashioned Democratic dol lar he can buy as much with it as ever. OVER. —The election. Nor OVER— The rains COMMUNICATIONS. For Tlie Democrat. NICHOLSON, NOV. 19,1863. Ma. EDITOR :—After ELL my cotnpfaining, we have bad a gleam of Indian Summer.-. Most of last vreek was a fair 6atnple of the season ; and now, that the two-days srorm of rain and snow with which we have since been visited, has blown over, the cob-webs are again floating in the air, and the warm sun shine and hazy atmosphere mark a further continuance of the weather which is, to the best of my recollection, every succeeding year remarked upon as being "remarkably fine and beautiful, for the time o'year." It is not easy to discover why the season is called In dian Summer. Is it, perhaps, a name deriv ed from early colonial experience? Is the brief, bright cluster of days called "Indian" Summer because they arc a delusion, a vain promise, the smile of a painted savage? Is 41 Indian," here, synonymous with treachery, a6 in the case of gifts among children, where a present made, and then revoked, is called an 44 Indian gift ?" This is, to thy fancy, the reasonable explanation of the name. For you must remember, that in no other country is this season so remarkable and brilliant as with us and the ear.'v settlers, at first en chanted by the exquisite apparition, and then bitterly grieved at the evanescent mockery, would, sujely, name it from their type of whatever was most delusive, and call it the Indian Summer—Winter masking as Sum mer—the fiercest foe as the truest friend. It was Daniel Webster, if I am not mistak en, who gave an entirely different account of the origin of the name. According to his story, the settlers believed the haze Hnd heat that mark these days to proceed from the prairies which the Indians were accustomed to burn at this season. The westerly winds prevailed at the same time ; and thus the great map of smoke, and the fervor of endless reaches of fire, drifted over the plains and forests, and emeu! a ted with June, des pairing Octob-r. Perhaps the early settlers may have believed this story ; but certainly we, later ones need not give much heed to it. For in other countries where there are no Indians, and have beCu none witlnn historical knowledge, there is yet the same season, al though known under other names. It is nev cr, however, so beautiful nor of so long dura tion as our own Indian Summer. There is, certainly, no uiore poetic s'rai.i in all the seasons; an i it seems, too to have its correspondence elsewhere, in the decay of individual and of natural life. After acute agony come often moments of serenity and self-consciousness, when all the mental pow ers are in perfect plav, and mortal pains dis appear. ft. is n brief interval—the line of clear aky between the cloud and ihe horizon, along which the sun blazes for an instant, il litmfabiy glorious—then tonks forever. So, too, afier years of ruin, the splendors of Im penal IVune revived, for a season, in Papal pomp. The culmination of the Roman Caih olic rule in the world was the Indian Sum mer of Rome of the scholar and of history.— Twice that city has given laws to the world ; but the decline from its second p wer to its present comparative imbecility was no less sudden (ban the fall of the year, from the warm beginnings of November, to the sharp frosts of mid-winter. The season, though, however splendid, is necessarily sad ; for the pilgrim of the year understands that these bright days are the last green points of the pleasant Summer along which he has been idly coasting, and that he must now stretch-straight away iuto the barren winter. lie gazes wistfully at the landscape ; but its crimson gleam is only the heetic ot disease. But over all, like an "at raospbere of 6leep," lies the dreamy haze.— Nature, gazing upon the stripped fields and the fallen leaves—or hearing the creak of that wagon in the afternoon, and the rustling of the corn husks as they pass, has fallen into a pleasant reveiie. We follow her j and as we gaze from tire landscape in its spirit, and seem to find in the aspect of the world a vague saduess, harmonious with that which lies deep in every heart. It is only a mirage that we behold—only the shadowy reflection of a season, sunk behind us in Time. Vet, as we gaze at the glittering phantom of Summer, and recognize the form so familiar and bur, what wonder that we believe that it has not deserted us, and refuse to allow that 10-inor row will he winter ? The air is fresh and we rejoice; but we mistake the frosty kindling of age for the eager sympathy of youth. In my last 1 descanted rather largely up on the biting frost* and driving snows of winter, — being incited thereto by a frosty morning and a cold, cheerless day. It pruv td to be only a " Squaw winter," and was quickly superseded by the summer softness which now touches the air, aud the clouds which cluster in the west at sunset with a gor geous affluence that paints upon the sky the splendor of the tropics. I presume that many of our' Nicholson friendV hate taken a took into your '• sane turn " during the present week, aiid hope that all who did 30 either brought you the brown, elongated triangular-shaped grain whereof af ter having passed through the miller's hopper —buckwheat cakes are made iu quantities adequate to the wants of the winter, or the wherewithal to bny if. Ar' they did not af te'r*tho" tflfodestly expressed hint you gave them to rjn so they should be crossed from your goad books, as' some portion of the much seve er punishment deserved. True, buckwheat is unusually high priced this sea son ; hnt that is no good reason why a hnn gry editor should not in* indulged to the ex tent of a fpw bnhels. at l'-ast, bv 'hose of his delinquent patrons who have it to spare from this*stores fatd up for their own use- Of course, no editbr, possessed of his proper mind, would expect to get from ihat intended for market, because that, you knnW, brings in the "greenbacks." Editors can have no possible use lor them, and if they are permit ted to live along with the balance of the world, bjr hook or by crook, should be abund antly satisfied. The storto of Monday niglit, Tuesday and Wednesday, haa raited the neiglibormg streams soqie but not sufficient to make a damaging freshet, which is a fortunate circum stance for the neighborhood generally. The bridgeat Bacon's was just so far completed as t& be in imminent danger should there have been a sudden rise of water, and had the structure been carried off, incalculable incon venience to the public and a heavy loss to the contractor would have been the result. Coal is very scarce and high here, and one can get it for neither " love nor money," ex dept some fortunate accident disables a loaded car somewhere near th.e Depot. Then the unfortunate person who happens to become possessed of its contents is pestered to death for " half a'ton'' here, and " quarter of a ton there," until, heartily sick of his barg'ain, he reeolves never to speculate again in coal, by the small quantity. The Railroad Company will not send an ounce here, nor to any other place along the line of the Northern Division, in consequence of contracts to be filled fur ther north, until after the close of navigation. In the meantime the inhabitants must steai. burn wood, blow their fingers and keep warm as best they can. If some enterprising person would invest a few hundred dollars in a small coal yard, and have it well stocked during the Summer, a handsome profit might be realized upon the investment. As it now is, many people are compelled to wagon their coal from Srranton, a distance of some 24 miles and over none of the best roads, at that. In a former letter I made mention of the mercantile establishment oi O. L. Ualistead & Son. They now have in a full stock of winter goods, and intend to keep filled up, as the demands of their customers may re quire. so that they will rarely fail to find any article of goods their wants or wishes de inand. The store is under the immediate superintendence of Mr. Henry Hallstead, trie junior member of the firm. Customers will find him and his clerks corteous, obliging and liberal in all their dealings ; and those who have never traded at the establishment, but can make it convenient to do so, should give jtacail. I am myself, satisfied that money can be saved by so doing. Nothing of special interest to the public has happened in Nichol son since my last. Should anything worthy of note occur, I will endeavor to keep you pos'ed CLINT.

Bupt , MAJEST rOF TUB la^v—Frederick the Great a century ago, wished to enlarge bit possessions and palace. A certain mill obscur ed the view, and he offered the Prussian owner a fair pfice for it. He refused to sell it be cause it was a parental estate. Frederick' then ordered the torn down which was done. The Miller stood calmly by saying that he would abide by the law. He must obey his sovereign, but the law did not com pel him to sell fill he chose. He appealed to the courts, and the courts decided that Frederick should rebuild the mill. This he carefully did, thanking God that he had a court not influenced by impe rial fear or favor. Twenty years ago tho present owner of the mill became involved in' debt and offered to sell it to Frederick Wll iatn the successor of Frederick the Great.' The sovereign refused to buy, but freely gave SG.OOO, saying that the mill must a* triumph of law : and Prussia stands to day a' constant monument of the majesty of law," It is not beneath the dignity even of an Kui peror to be submissive to law.
