Dignified Silence,
We have waited with much patience for an
explanation ,apology or excuse by the parties
implicated in the rascally enrollment of Nich
olson Township ; a part of the pa: ticuiars of
which, we published afew weeks since. We
did not expect the parties to excu'pate thera
selves from this bare faced outrage. The
truth of our charge, they could not deny.
Indeed they well knew there were facts
in relation to it, still more damuing, which
we bad not yet made public. But judging
from the past, we expected the Beet-nosed,
Bogus Editor to get up some such tigiuarole
as he got up to excuse and befog the manner
in which he slipped oft'the tie strap in the
first draft. Among ail dog fanciers, we be
lieve, the dog that stands square up and
gnaws off the rope is regarded as far more
h nest, than the whelp, which by cringing
back, slips the noose from his neck. The
latter style seems to be most natural for the
aforesaid ruby nosed animal. We charged
him with having knowingly, deliberately, and
wilfully printed a bogus and false enrollment
list whereby certain of his political fi lends
might save themselves harmless and f. rce
others to take their places in the great
" Lottery of death" about to c me off We
made this charge, with a full knowledge of
ouj* accountability, civil criminal or other
wise. We knew too that Democratic presses
had been destroyed, and editors imprisoned
for exposing abolition iniquities. We were
not forgetful of the high official positions of
the parties implicated nor were we unmind
ful of tho fact that " Loyalty," a word that
covers a multitude of sins, was their shibo
leth.
Billy it it true, charges us with being a
rebel Ac; but this does not at all explain
this bogus enrollment business. Nobody,
we hope, will be 6illy enough to assert that
even rebels do not sometimes tell the truth
Many people, indeed believe them to be
... quite as honest and veracious as abolition
editors, and some Marshals they know of.
Not a word can we get from hun about the
bogus enrollment list. It is probable that
, the perpetrators of this rascally outrage ;
think their professions of " Loyalty" a suffi
cient excuse for any wrongs they m-iy choose
to perpetrate on tho honest people ; who,
will only have the barren satisfaction of
knowing that they are wronged ; with the
galling reflection that the guilty perpetrators,
are so much above them in official position,
and professed " loyalty" that they can ccin
tuit wrongs with impunity.
Perhaps Billy may think, that as he is
nothing but a poor, pusillanimous, contempti
ble half starved printer, no blame should be
attached to hitn for meiely printing thise
bogus lists. We will admit that he was
nothing but a tool in tho hands of operators
who had more brains than he ; so too, might
be the possessor of the dies and the press
upon which forged bank notes were priuted
with the knowledge and consent, and for
profit. Under tho law, the oilterers and
passers of such notes would be suit to the
Slate Prison; and the poor printer would be
sent to the Penitentiary. Both thei-e estab
lisbments are under the same and the
terms synonymous, at least in Pennsylvania.
Having indicated the place where these ra&culs
belong we leave them for the present ; hoprng
shortly to hear from them through their abo
lition organ —or the fralei.
The Exodus.
The prospect of the draft on the 10ib of
next tnonth and the liberal bounties offered
in New York and New Jersey for volun'eer*,
has drawn away hundreds of young men,
from the northern part of this state. More
than enough to havo filled the quota of our
Borough, have gone from it within the past
two weeks. They will doubtless be accredit
ed to the districts in which they enlist and
receive bounties. If (as under the laie con
scription act it seems probable) ever}' dis
trict will bo obliged to fill its quota, without
regard to exemptions from disability, absence,
or otherwise ; there should be a new enroll
ment, in order to arrive at the just number
to be drawn. It would certainly be unjust
to draft from a district on the supposition
that there wire fifty sound men in it, when j
ail but twenty-five bad enlisted and eone !
sway since the enrollment; and then by i
subsequent drafts to exact the full number
fixed on by that supposition.
There seems to be much difficulty and
doubt as to many points in relation to this '
whole business of the draft—where men will !
be credited—what men be credited. &c., are '
matters as rooch unknown to the people as !
if they lived in a government whpre written 1
laws were unheard of, and tne incoherent !
babble of a capricious derpot was the law,
Others may be able to look" in to this Jagger
nautal mill-stone ; but for ourselves we are
f rve to confess our utter Ignorance of its
ratfc.'*( j j action*
We have not the leat doubt, that if the
people had been informed on these points as
they might have been ; a majority of the dis
trict# in this county would hare filled their
quotas, and saved scores of men for the ser
vice of tkeir native state.
To keep the masses as much in doubt and
ignorance as possible, as to the transactions
and requirements of the par'y in power,
seems te be its settled policy.
Woo to a people who have a joking buf
foon ard thimble rigging juggler for a ruler.
"Au Eye for au Eye and a Tooth for , a
Tooth.''
We have already noticed the destruction
of the Northumberland Democrat printing
office by a mob, hounded on by disunion
Loyal Leaguers. Since then two or three
other newspaper establishmen s have been
more or less injured by nubs of similar char
acter. Among the number the Ohio Eagle,
published at Lancaster, in the south eastern
part of the State. In this instance, however.
Democrats retaliated by attacking and de
stroying the dwellings of the leadings fanat
ics of the town. This in accordance with the
Mosaic law.
As the Abolitionists—preachers and iav
men—have repudiated the Christian dispen
tion, they will have no cause ef complaint
if Democrats fall back upon tho old Testa
ment doctrine and demand an " eye for au
! eye Rtid a tooth fur a tooth." The people of
Lancaster were wise in their selection of vic
tims for retaliation. We might point to
instances where mobs have been hounded on
by printers and editors, but as a general
thing the responsibility belongs to sneaking,
cowardly Abolition Leaders, who may think
themselves 6afe, but who may n<t entirely
escape the vengeance of an outrages commun
ity. We have always opposed mob law.—
We regard the law and order as the rightful
sovereigns. But if these are disregarded
with impunity, the citizen in his parlor, the
judge upon the bench, and the oath defying
jurnrs, may feel the effects of their own perfi
dy before they are aware of the vengeance
they are harping on their own heads

What is Going ou at Port Royal.
The Administration, in its humane efforts
to ekrate the character ol the African and
civilize them with the white people, two
years ago benevolently sent from Massachu
setts to Port Royal, South Carolina, at the
expense of the whole people of (he United
States, a few hundred spinsters to educate,
civilize and refine the contrabands at thai
place. The New Hampshire Patriot, of the
4th of October, gives the result of this very
benevolent experiment of Mr. Lincoln in the
following paragraph.
" Private advice 6 from Port Royal say,
that many of the female Abolitionists who
went to P- rt Royal to teach the little nig
gers how to read and pray, have been obliged
within a lew months to abandon their black
charges and open nurseries on their own bri
vate account. An officer informed us recent
ly that no less than sixty four white spins
ters hat contributed to the population in
und about Port Royal h%rbor. The climate
seems to favor population even more than
the production of Sea Island cotton by paid
negro labor.
u fbe information furnished us by the offi
cer concerning the sixty-four little mulattoes
has been confirmed by the testimony of Rev.
Liberty Billings, Lieutenant Colonel of the
Ist South Carolina regiment, who is here in
consequence of ill health. lie said it is a sad

Increase of Pay of Kev, Assessors.
Mr. Moorhead, Abolition Member of Con
gress from Alleghany, presented & memorial
to Congress, recently, signed by a regiment
af assistant assessors of internal revenue,
asking an increase of pay. For little labor
these men now get three dollars a day.
They were appointed for extreme professions
of loyalty, and if the business don't pay' let
'em en-hat and get S3OO bounty in the war
that is to close in "sixty days," with 110
more fighting. They will thus g<r five del
lais a day, and the salary*, besides food and
raiment, with a pension extra if something
happens. If soldiers can afford to fight at
sl3 a month, the*e gents can get. along at
$93 ; but if not, they can do what a soldi, J
cannot, —resign <wid go to work. Ves let
them all resign and perm-it their places to be
filled by more deserving -men—by wounded
or invalid soldiers, who need, hut vainly seek
as good employment As the R publico
majority have thus far meanly voted down
all proposition for increasing the soldiers pay,
they will hardly dare gratify the assessors,
but we shall see.
How LONG WILL THE WAR LAST. Fr-ed
Douglas, (the negro) in a recent speech de
clared that "the inan who did not see the ob
ject of this war was either blind or very igno
rant." "The object of the war,'' he continued,
"was t free ail slaves and to educate those
slaves at .the expense of the Guverroent and
give each man of them 100 acres of good land.
Then give them the rights of suffrage, and
make them eligible to office, and place them
on a full equality wiih all other men."
"When these things are accyraplGhed" said
Ered, "and all rebels killed or bani*hed, the
war may posibly end, but not one hour be
fore."
This is cutting nut work for u a few days,"
and no mistake. We are skeptical, however,
as to the accomplishment of Fred's ambition.
When that time comes there will be very
few niggers left; the freed ones are dieing off
by the Abolition rot at a fearful rate.
THE ABOLITION advocate says, * all the
Democratic editors ought to be irishmen."
W* were not aware ofiijbut we do knew
that 5! editors ought to be tvjge'n.
The Couscrlptlou Bill.
The consiiption Bill as finally passed by
both houses of Congress and which ha* now
become a law, cotains the following impor
tant provisions,:
Fiast. Both classes under the old law
are mode into one, and subject to future
drafts.
Second There are no exemptions, except
those of a physical character, but the Vice-
President, judges of federal courts, and gov
ernors of states.
Third. The commutation clause of three
hundred dollars of the old law is yet retain-
Jed.
j Fourth. Persons who have conscientious
| scruples against bearing arms, including all
clergymen, are exempt, provided their course
of life has shown them so be sincere, but are
required lo pay thrae hundred dollars, which
J full}* relieve them.
I Fith. The following is the commutation
| clause in full, as it is law ,
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That
any person dratted into the Military service
j of the United Slates may, before the time
, fixed for his appearance for duty at the draft
j rendezvous, furnish an acceptable substitute,
| subject to such rules and regulations as may
j be prescribed by the Secretary of War that
; if sueh substitutes is not liable to draft, the
person furnishing him sba'l be exempt from
draft's during the tioie lor which such sub
stitute is not liable to draft, not exceding the
term for which he was drafted; and if such
substitute is liable to draft, the name of the
person furnishing him 6hall again be placed
on the roll, and shall be liable to draft on
future-calls but not until tne bresent enroll
ment shall be exhausted; and this exemption
j shall not exceed llio term for which 6uch
! person shall have pcen drafted. And any
| person now in the military or naval service
of the United States, not physically disquali
fied, who has so served more than one year,a
and whom term of unexpired service shall
not at the time of substitution exceed six
months, maybe employed as a substiiuto to
serve in the troops of the 6tate in which he
enlisted; and if any drafted person shall
bereafbT pay money for the procuration of a
substitute under the providence of the act to
which this is an amendment such payment
of m- ney shall operate only to relit ve 6uch
person from draft on that call, and his name
shall be retained on the roll, and he shall be
subject to draft in filling that quota' anil his
name shall be retained on the roil in filling
future quotas, but in no instance shall the
exemption of any person, on account of his
pavment of commu'ation tuoney for the pro
curation of a substitute, extend beyond one
year, in every sueh case, 'he name of any
person so exempted shall be enrolled again
if not before returned to the enrollment lists
under the provisions of this section.
The other provisions o the new law are
unimportant.
THE President says' : war should not
be looked ut.on as an alarming evil by any
means." The old joker does not yet realize
that any "body is hurt." [t may he true that
war is not evil to Abolition eut throats and
thieves, any more than plunder may he con
sidered an evil to the free booter. But thp
wise king Louis the Eleverth, of France, bad
a different opinion of war.—lie said: ' War
is the greatest scourge of a nation It brings
with itself dangers and evils, the destruction
ot the country, of its inhabitants, and of its
wealth which no time can repair " That is
the opinion of an enlightened, humane man
and Christian. The other the opinion of an
ignorant, unfeeling, intolerant infidel, who
looks upon negroes as his breihren, and upon
white men with the eye of distrust and hat!
rsr THE VIRGINIA SENATORS —It should
be gratifying to the pe<la of Ponsvlvaiia
and New York. that the State of Virginia is
so far "in the Union" as to furnish four mem.
hers to the senate. There are probably one
thousand "loyal voters in :he entire State,
and the elections are chiefly held in camps ;
but the seven mttHoivs of the two chief States
in the Union have no more power in the Sen
ate, than the officers who happen to be in
command in Virginia on election day.
ENi.iSTEnVETF.RAns. A letter from the
P"' "ost Marshal's office ,Washington, to J.
Heron Foster, of Pittsburg d n c'.des that
re-enlisted veterans cannot he credited to lo
rsl quotas, and cannot reeeive local bounti-s
a credited to volunteer* on the new call.
This upsets the calculations of many who
re enlisted with the expectation of returning
home on furlough to actrpdit them-elves with
the new volunteers of their respective
districts.
The New York Tribune has for
once diverged from its erratic course, and
has blundered against an atom of candor, as
will appear from the following sentence,
characterizing the northern democracy: -'The
northern democracy is not reallv oro slavery,
hut anti-intervention; maintaining, not that
slavery w right, hnt that we of the free
Sta'es should mind our own business and
let alone other people's."
everal petty thieves who have sto!
en small sums from the government have
been so tormented by their consciences as to
return the money to the treasury. We have
not yet heard of any of those who have stol
en immense sums masing restitution.

correspondent of th New York World and
