Democrat, in those cities, and are author ize Ito take Advertisements and Subscriptions ns at our lowest Rates. MATHER & CO., No. 335 Broadway, N. Y. are our Authorized Agents to take Advertisements or this paper, at out published rates. The Draft Sneak, alias, Beet nosed Billy of the Republican, has found some thing which excites his " loyal " instincts, "in a paper, "as lie says; " published not a thousand miles from this place." We pre • sume he refers to the Democrat. We have the evidence on hand, and will shortly siiow to the public this sneaking Puppy's complic ity in the perpetration of a gross outrage upon the citizens of a Township in this County : by the printing and publication of bogus en rollment lists, by which a clinque of his abo lition cronies, might, like himself, sneak out of the conscription, fn times like the pres ent when the lives of men are at stake, and when every man in the community is expect ed to perform his duty, we do not intend to •tand quietly by and witness the practice of any imposition or fraud in this lottery of death, uo matter by whom committed. A former experience in escaping a draft -has afforded facilities to this man as to how to escape subsequently, and. especially so when aided and oleitcu by tho-e in high official position. We shall continue to call attention to this subject, and shall lo< k forward to see whether the proper authorities who we un derstand have been apprised of this matter, will carry out their promise to ferret it to the bottom. Did any of our delinquent subscri bers—for we have some—ever think of this : "What would you think of a farmer who had raised a thousand bushels of wheat, and who would sell it to a thousand different persons scattered all over the State, and agree to wait a year for his pay from each of them? and if one half of them did not pay at the end of the year, he should give them another bushel of wheat and agree to wait another year for his pay. and thus go on year after year? How long w-uld such a farmer es cape bankruptcy ? Probably not much Ion; ger than publishers of newspapers who foll ow such a practice. It costs the editor of a weekly paper as much to supply a thousand subscribers with it for one year as it costs a farmer to raise a thousand bushels of wheat- The Farmer sel's his wheat in bufk. Newspa pers are sent to a thousand different towns in the county, and different counties in tho State, and he must wait till tlie end of the year defore he can get his payment, and then he depends wholly upon the honesty and re sponsibility of the subscriber, for it imposi- ble that he 6hould know the character of all his subscribers. It will not pay him to go around, or send around the county to collect his dues. It would cost more than the col lections would come to. We hope our readers will one and all think of this, and endeavors to square off at leas; once a year. We have many persons on our list who have never paid us anything. ■■ ■ ■■ Gen.

The bill as it passed the Senate, provides tbat a drafted man who pays the corninnta tion, is exempted untal overy other man in his district is drafted' where upon bis name ia placed on the enrollment, list and he is •gain liable to draft. Both classes are con solidated, and all exemptions, of the only •on of a widow, father of motherless children, Ac., stricken out.

I > The iifflce gflhe Northumberland County Democrat was destroyed by • in °b a f evv ni-his since. This Journal' was one of the most spirited and ah:y conducted in the State. Its Editor, TRI MAN IT PCRDT is a member of the present Legislature, to which ho wa* elected bv a large majority of the voters "f old Northumberland—a place for which he f was eminently fited by his virtues and his talents. He have known hitn for a number iof years as editor of a paper in Lewisburg and mere recently of the Democrat at Sun- I bury. The ui biles in this case have raised a spirt that •will nut down at ibeir bidding" —a man who in the future, as in all pa< time wijt be found the firm, .uncompromising, and | indefatigable enemy of fanaticism wrong mid oppression. This dastardly outrage upon his rights and property, and upon the fretdom jof the press, must and wili recoil up n the : heads of its authors, their aiders and abet- : j tors. Mr. Purdy has issued the following: To the Democracy of Northumberland Co. It is doubtless known ere tins to all our , readers, that the Northumberland Con (y Democrat office was destroyed 011 the night j !of the lSth inst. Our presses were torn ; I down and broken, imposing stones upset! | tables, cases and stands, tumbled around the | i room, the types scattered and mixed, a large j American Hag stolen and a goneaal destrue , i tion consummated. Mr. Jes*e M. Simpson, the proprietor of the building, with his usual boldness and j courage, went fearlessly up among the riot -1 ers, who were armed with pistols and swords, and was struck and pulled over the buns' w in his own house. His revolver, keys, pocket handkerchief, Ac., were taken from him and ' ' j stolen by the crowd, after which lie tore loose j from them and ran down stairs. The lateness of the hour, during the ab ; sence of our em ploytis, foirncd a iiting time ! for the committal of this outrageous, coward ly and most in famous crime against the peace 1 of the Commonwealth and the liberties of the people of this county. The freedom of speech : and the press ar6 guaranteed by tha Consti tution of the United b'tates, and our own j Stale Constitution declare*, tha f I tlieso great riglits shall never be restrained. I These Constitutions and tiio laws of the land constitute TUT GOVKRKMUNT of '.his country, and there is none other suvo the government of mobs, incited by unmitiigate : scoundrels, the lovers of despotism and th • assasins of liberty. To this latter be- | 1 long the instigators of this dastardly outrage ] j upon the rights and sentiments of a large , i majority of ihe people of tiiis county. That ; this blow was aimed at the editor of our ; English paper, now engaged in the peri .nu ance of legi.-iative duties, to which your suf j frages elevated him, or that it was aimed at j the quiet editor of our German editition i* j foliy to assert. It was aimed at you, the pen ; pie. to crush your press, „ > outrage your sen ; timenls and to rob you of those rights which j . your God, vour Constitutions, your law s i and a proper administration of this govern ment would give you. It means that consti tutional principles auJ civil liberty against j mobs and usurpation shall nt be advocated jin our mid*t. The perpetrators of this villa nous act were strangers among us, know: ig i nothing of our paper, nothing of our town . and nothing "f the sent- nents of our ps .pi. I They were incited to it by men in our midst, 1 who make themselves the champi n:s o! !•v --. alty and who call upon honorable men to , vote and sustain their ri-vuiu lonary and ( riotous policy. The responsibility iets up -lon them, and they cannot and shall not es cape it. They have given a practical illu-tra- j tion and c< nfirmation in 1 ur midst of the dis- j ! regard whifch they h iv. fir law, for the j J security of property or fir the pe,ac3 and j I Order of society. While we have stood as , 1 the defenders of civil liberty and connstitu ! tiona' governniet, while we have spoken b .1.1- ' ly in defence of the people's interests against ! usurpation, riotings, de.-potism and plunder, they have been constantly advocating, incit : ing and defending these repeated enormities | of their own jartr, for the destruction, in i j violation of ail law, of the inallenble rigiits of ) , freeman. But the spirt of freedom which j they seek to crush, will not yield before any j dastardly outrage they may commit. Wei j cannot be wedded to the Harlot which seek- j i the destruction of liberty and the erection of a despotism, by these repealed confirmations ! of her crime. It will caus- us t-> renew our ! ! energy against all men and partes, who in j : the name of loyal :V. commit outrage- against I the peace and freedom ti the people, for - , which the penitentiary or the s i vices of tlie, ! . j hangman should be their righteous doom j ( Tlie Northumberland County Democrat ! 'I though mobbed by strangers, at the instiga- I I tion of partizan scoundrels, is not dead, it • . will soon again appear to defend the time honored and constitutional principles of the i democratic party, and if law among loval leaguers is a thing gone by, and if brute force ; and the reign of mobs, at the instigation of ; I ' drunkards is to Ire the order of the day, tiie 1 i j demnnraiie party are prepared for the issue 1 , of self-defence to the destruction of proper- i jty for property or even life for life. We ' 1 have ever been the advocates of law and j I order, but tlie democratic party cannot be I i held responsible for anarchy if forced upon j j them. | It would be justice to assert, that there j are those who differ with us politically who ! ! denounce these criminal efforts to maugarate ! ! a reign of terror in the land. Our difference ' I with such men is only nominal and tlie won i der of the times is that they can vote to j sustain these and trie thousand other crimes J 1 against their own liberty, security and pro- 1 perty. To those who rejoice at these dam . mrig deeds, we may say, that it will not in jure us. It w ill greaily increase our circula ! tion an 1 patronage while property is secure, 1 and if this fails, it will involve them in a j common ruin. A reward of SIOO will be paid for infer ma | tion which will lead to tin* detection and con [ I viction of the perpetrators or instigators of : this vijlanons act. But whether detected or j i not, let the brand of eternal infamy be stamp- , ed upon these aesassins of fre-p government, 1 who, after having been loud in their d. mands i for free press and free speech, becotno now I the practical advocates ajid abettors of their 'j destruction. T. R. WBDY. Randoms tram Trinity Stcepl". My position is on the pinnacle of the tem ple, high up, so high that [ seem among the I clouds.

The great city, teeming with life, lies j ■ spread out in majesty, before me ; on either side, rushes along, the crested waves, bearing amid their sparkling spray, the leviathans of I commerce to old ocean's heaving bosom.

But clouds inure dark, and winds more fierce, are now sweeping over our politica' world and no ray of light appears to dissipate ; the darkened gloom.

Aspinwalj., New Grenada. S. A. Saturday, Jan. 2ud 1864. FiIIEKD SICKLEK : As I promised to occasion ally inform you of my whereabouts. I will write you a line from this (well I really don't know whether to call it a town, city, or a portion of the Isthmus) but let Aspinvvall suffice, 1 According to notice, the Steam-Ship Ilti nois, with about eleven hundred passengers,' sailed from foot of Warren Street, (X. Y ) at 12 o'clock M. on Wednesday, Dec. 23rd 1863 j After passing Governor's, Coonev and Staten ' Island's, wc discharged our pilot, and were 1 sailing upon the broad Atlantic. The hills of New Jersey were soon lost in the distance, and there was nothing around us but the deep blue ocean beneath, and the lowering Heav- j ens above. Our voyage to the Isthmus was very un t pleasant. Most of the passengers were sea sick, 1 was not, but i got very stck of the sea. We had it very rough and stormy nearly the ' whole distance and we were so unfortunate as to procure passage in the "Opposition; Line." among officers and crew not so oblig ing as we would have wished. They put us oil "half rations"' most of the time, and mighty tough ones at that. To judge from j the appearance of things, 1 don't think they ; understood their business very well. As near , as we passengers could come at it they lost their reckoning a number of times, had to j stop tike soundings, &c. I am now an ex passenger from the Steam. Ship Illinois, which landed at this p< rt yes terday noon, just in time lor us to get a good • New Year's dinner, which we to< k with our American consul, Mr. Bice, at the Hotel of Mr. Hawkins. The .Mail Steam-Ship. Ariel arrived here this morning. She left York at the same time the Illinois did, but I learntd from one of her passenger tha' she was run into bv a i Schooner before getting out to ea, and wns . delayeda day or t\v >to rep air damages. The Illinois, connects with the America, which was sent around Cape-Horn some two months ago, and arrived at Panama yesterday at 10 o'clock A. M. We ex peer to be delayed here several days, as the Mad Steaun r and pas sengers have the fir-1 chance in cv rvthoe' here, we have to wait their motions, besrd i the America has to coal up, and make -nine r ■ew repairs. The jH*ople here have a better (pinion of old Abe's currency than s me of our people at home. They take "green backs" at par, and Con-ider them all right. Even the Na tives will take them in exchange for their tropical fruits and curiusi'.ie*. We were all pleasantly iirpriel at this, and think they will get sold in the end . The only objects of interest about the town, ' are the natives, their manners and habits, ; Panama Rai!m.\d buildings. Ac. The Town ( i- made up 11 public houses which are kept up, on what the}' make from the travel to an hj from California. There are a great number . of Mexicans or Natives scattered around the count ry. I/i-t evening they were all ih town j on a " big drunk." Tat tended several or their fandangoes, and found it very amusing to witness the ir style of celebrating the II Hi days. I presume the state of the atmosphere : her.-, differs slightly from that at home now. ; It almost makes me shiver to think of yo.i i pet pie North, who J suppose are now hug- ' ging, (embrai ing, 1 suppose I should sav) j your coal lir s, or donning the overcoat)! shawl, or buffalo to keep from freezing while ' out of door*; while we here, have to lav aside the outer garments, procure sunshades, and then find it uncomfortably warm. We have a sea breeze here, and showers almost 1 hourly ; yet fu* all the air seems to be hot and sickish. 1 think I can pass a few days here profita ! bly, if n>t so very pltasantly, studying the' customS and habits of the Natives, making collections from their tropical curiosities) strolling through the Cocoa Groves, listening to the tntiic of the shady beauties the i Senorilas < f S.

I 1 aj pears that for thirty days previous a series of religious festivals had been held that this—the last—was designed to eclipse all preceding ones in the gorgeousness and splen- | dor of its appointments. The church was ex tensively decorated with painted canvass, gauze, flowers, &c.. and illuminated by up wards of ten thousand lights— s,ooo of which were fr in camphene lamps. Ut these the most remarkable was a crescent of gas jets at toe foot of a coiossai statue of the \ irgin, : on the high altar. Long before the hour appointed, the ; church was completely filled with ladies and children; "comprising the flower of the bean- , ty and fashion 'of the Chilian capitol. But few men were in the church, and it was so crowded,tf at hundreds were unable to gain j admittance. The perform nice had not yet begun when the crescent of fire at. the foot of the image overflowed, anu, up the muslin di aperies and pasteboard devices, the fire j spread with inconceivable rap dity through : the ciitireh, and in a few moments the interi j r was all flame. During these moments the scene in the body of the church, is said to have hern one of panic stricken horror that 1 mpi! tfi \ bailies all attempts at description. In an instant toe crowded assembly was over whelmed with consternation. Those who ; were near the door, bid blocked up the pa*s ' age.-, did not see how set i .us it was, and kept places, in the expectation that the fire would lie put out while (hose near the altar prc-wed <! own and pushed over those pearer I tie do >r. in th. ir exertion to escape and thus in t.ie panic all became inevitably massed niiii crowded in the door so that it was nn p s-ilue for ttiem tu get tint.
