Address, with money or draft enclosed,
THOMAS B. FLORREXCE
330 E. street, Washington, D. C.
The workingmon of New York have
convened in public meeting to consider the
efiect of our civil war upon their interests.
Several thousand of them met together, and
they resolved that the present war was'pros
ecuted for the benefit of the negro, not for
the whiteman, anil its result was to enrich
the :dle worthless few at the expense of the
toiling millions. A meeting is to he called
m whichare to be represented all occupations
in the United S'ates. the members of which
live by their industry.
Z?2C" Why d > not those of our con tempo
raries who attacked, no violently, G>v. Sey
mour, when he alleged that the draft was
unfairly enforced in New York,now acknowl
edge that he was right ? Since the Congrcs
wonel Committee of Abolitionists, appointed
for the purpose of enquiring into the alleged
discrepancy, have reported in favor of Gov.
Seymour's calculation, and have ordered a
reduction, by several thousand; of the quota
o New York and Brooklyn, it would only
be honest in those pres-es to own their error.
Is it too much to expect honesty or fair play
.ro:a the Abolition organs ?

Few persons Pave any just conception o '
the extent of tbeir indebtedness to the pa
pers for the information they possess and the
moral sentiments they cherish. Compared
with the past ages of'tlie world, this is a re
marhably enlightened-period.
A large portion ofthe people have- a con
siderable share of correct information on al- j
most all topics of any importance Religion,
geography, history, and the p .lineal condi
tion of the world; poli ical economy ; ihe
important ftaiures of practical philosophy ;
something of geology ; chemistry s applied
to agriculture and the mechanic arts, and
many other subjects are familiarized to the
popular mind. Most persons can talk iniel
ligently about them, pretending to learning
or research.
But how do they Co£# by this knowledge?
Not at schools, nor at books generally speak
ing, bat by picking up, here and there, (r un
newspapers, small installments.
Let any one ask himself w here he obtain
WW
ed his knowledge of any particnlrr r act. lie
is probably unable to tell, because it came si
lently, inperceptibly, in newspapers. The
same is true in regard to our best moral sen
timent. They are suggested, reiterated, and
fastened on the mind by the press. The pul
pit does much; parental instruction.^n many
instances, does much ; and the press more
than both. Let any reader of a well con
ducted paper open its pages and consider
well its contents. There are in a single
number sometimes from one hundred and
fifty to two hundred separate and distinct
articles, each one carrying an idea, a fact or
a sentiment, and stated or illustrated so as
to produce an effect in enlarging the reader's
store ol knowledge, or giving a right di:ee
tion to thought, feeling or action. Must n<-t
all this have its influence on the reader?—
We think so.
No reflecting man ean fail to see that the
many visits in a year of a well conducted pa
per, with a correct, elevated tone and withal
interesting in its content®, must exelt a great
moral influence upon domestic life. Chil
dren growing up under such an influence are
far more likely to be intelligent, correct,
in their opinions and morals, and better pre
pared for the active duties of life, than they
could possibly hare been without it.
A NEW-DIFFICULTY—NickIe
cents at the Mint are growing very rcatce
When the government first commenced the
use of nickel as a material for coin it made
a profit on the coinage. The old fashioned cop
per cent was too cumbrous, and the nickel
penny was an agreeable change.—Since the
government adopted the ue of nickel the
article has risen largely in value. JVII met
als have risen in price. Nickel is found in
Germany, but the supply to the Mint is
mainly derived from Litchfield, Connecticut.
Ihe prospect is that alter & while the gov
ernment will find difficulty in procuring suffi
cient for its requirements, and some substi
sutute will be rendeted necessary. Mean
while the demaud for cents, at the United
States Mint, is most pressing, and not half of
it can be satisfied Th<" fear is thai the gov
eminent will not be able to obtain nickle at
such a raie that it can furnish a hundred
centß for a dollar as it now does.
Loyal Patriotism
Amalgamation, or, to use the term ap, lied
| by the lascivious nigger-loving "lady" Miss
Dickinson—Miscegenation— has gained A
strong foot-h"ld in New York. Ou (he sth
inst., a negro regiment rigged out in bran
; new uniforms, with while gaiter boots, and
gloves, and a 4 splendid siik banner," the
handiwork < f "the mothers, sisters, and
maidens 'of the N. Y. L< >\ a I League, were
: drawn up in front ol the league club room
j where a Mr Charles King offt-re the '"I # ve
, au 'l hdnor" ot the aforesaid matrons, maul
, I etc to the ebony crow I, in the most titchmy
. and voiup u ius tenderness ;an I to which trie
fair tniscegenationiat/i rep nded by the wav
1 ing of linen and the upheaving ol tenderly
throbbing bosoms. The papers sty that no
j white soldiers ever left that city for the thea
j tre of blood and carnage, or ever returned
i with honorable scars gamed in a cinfl ci for
i nigger equality, that received anything like
i such a demonstration ; for the reason, we
i suppose, that from the fullness ol the heart
the mouth speaketh."
DEMOCRATS AND ABOLITIONISTS. — Read
what General Jackson and Daniel Webster
say about the Abolitionists—agaiost Abraham
Lincoln and hisadrainisaratmn—against John
Brown and his sympathizers—against every
thing which would array one porpon ol our
beloved country againsr the other—and
against any class of men that would destroy
the instiutions framed by our patriotic ances
tors:
" If these infernal fanatics and abolitionists
ever get power in their hands, they will over
ride the Constitution' set the Supreme Court
at defiance, change and make laws to suit
themselves, lay violeut hands on those who
differ with them in their opinions, or dare !
questioQntheir infallibility, and finally bank- j
rupt country and deluge it with blood—
DANIEL WEBSTER."
" Sir, tbe Abolition party is a disloyal or- j
ganization, its pretended love for Freedom
means nothing more or less than Civil War
and a dissolution of the Union Honest men
of all parties should unite to expose their in- :
tent ions and aarest their grogress."
ANDREW JACKSON."
The grave buries every error—covers every.
defect— extinguishes every resentment.
From tls peaceful bosom springs none but
fond regrets and tender recollections. Who
can h.ok,duwn upon the crave of an enemyand
not feel a compunctious throb that he should
have warred with the poor handful of earth
that lies mouldering before htm.
The enemy recently made a-nud upon the
Chesapeake, and captured three email steam
boats.
The Exchange ef Prisoners Resumed.
It wil! be good news to the country to ■
learn that the exchangeof Union for confed- |
crate prisoners ha beeft resumed at City
Point, on the James river; Eight hundred
confederate prisoners" h*Te already been ex
changed for as many of the poor feTdws who
were languishing in the rebel prisons.
The exotian p,e has/ it setetns been made
possible by the federal government yielding
a point it sh old never have allowed to come
op; that is, Butler has been excluded trom
negotiation,, as the reoels would not treat
with him. The confederate congress had
outlawed Butler, and it is not m sccordance
wi'h established usages for one behgerent
piwer to ,orce an obnoxious agent upon an
n her beligcreoi power. The negotiation
wgi'ch led to. fh exchange, so we are inform
ed, was conducted by Miij 'r Mulford tin the
part of the Unien cvernmen', and Hubert
Quid lor ibe confederates We may now
h"|ie to see our brav' boys heme again, 'lter
their long and needless captivity.
T e exc ang<- matter is a curious instance
of the singular perversity of the war Depart
uient. Alter Colonel Ludlow had conducted
the exchange satisfactorily for a h< let ear
he wa allowed to goon other duty, General
Meredith was appointed i:> his place. Every
thing got into a snarl at once, because nature
had been unkind to the new federal agent in
the matter J tact an l bt-itns. He appeared
to such disadvantage in the correspondence
which was subsequently published, that he
was removed and Butler put in Ins place But
ih s made matters worse than ever. Butler
can write a letter—indrd it is the only thing
he does well; bu the rebels positively re
fused to read his (Fusions. And ao <nr un
fortunate soldiers have * cell kept in unwhole-
some prisons because the War Department
had not wit enough to appoint a man of sense
and discretion to transact this delicate busi
ness. Ho never, we have commenced the ex
changes, and we hope they will hereafter be
kept up.
Fremont In the Field.
We understand that the trieuds of General
Fremont have determined to put him in the
fitld as a presidential candidate without refer
ence to the Baltimore Reoubliean Convention,
which is tn meet next June. Already the
German Republicans have taken the lead, and
thetr newspapers have put his name at tlie
head of their colums. A mass convention is
to he held ot Cleveland on the tenth of May
next to give the Pathfinder a formal nomina
tion. This is an imp<utant movement in many
respects, and may force Fremont on the Re
publican convention, if the Lincoln and Chase
war results, as u mat, in killing them both
off as presidential candidates.
A Goon ntT.— We overheard, the other
day, a conversation between a wounded vol
unteer and a professed, Douglas Democrat of
the Deacon Peorce stripe. The soldier was
defending the name of hi? favoaite command
er, General M'Clellan. from the bitter and
fierce assaults of the friend of Africa, when
an associate soldier interfered with "Shut
up. Sam, what the dickens do you know
about litile Mack, — you and I were down
the Potomac fighting under the General
while this fellow was at home pinned to his
mammy's apron strings, sucking his thumbs ;
of course he knows more than you do"—
This was too much fir the " loyal leaguer,"
who took paddies hi < t and left.
he Hon. Fernando Wood conclud
ed his I ale -peech in the House of Rcpresen
tatives with the following stirring quotation.
The man who would dissent from it is less
than human :
" Peace ! Peaie ! God of our fathers, grant us Peace ;
Peace in our hearts un.l at Thine altars; peace
On the red waters and their blighted"shores ;
Peace tor the leagured cities, aud the hosts
That watch and bleed around them and within ;
Peace for the homeless and the fatherless
Peace for the captive on this weary way,
And the mad crowds who jeer his helplessness
For them th tt'suffer, them that do the wrong,
Sinning ami sinned against • 0 God ! lor all—
For a distracted, torn and bleeetiing lan-f- —
Speed the glad tidings ! giv us, g've us Peace !"
j The Philadelphia Press now proposes an
amendment to the Constitution prohibiting
I slavery throughout the whole country. We
thought Lincoln had ab<>li*hed slavery by
proclamation ! We havj b-en told over and
i oyer again that slavery wits dead—that Fath
er Abraham's emancipation proclamation had
i done all that but the abolition Doctor's don't
seem to he satisfied. They now want the
Constitution altered.
SS-A Bonn THREAT The Missouri
Demo,'rat the leading Republican organ west
, of the Missisgipi gives the following emphatic
warning to the Lincoln win* pullers :
If a high handed attemp' t< to he made to
j force Mr Lincole's nomination upon '.hat
convention, the attempt will necaessirily le
get a revolt, for which, and for whatever dis
astrous cons' queHCr; 2"*? fr' flt !' these des
perate schemers will be held resposible
General Blair, of Missouri, m his
speech against the pending confiscation bill
pYouounced it to be more cruel than the
Edict excluding the Jews fv.m Spain, and
Confiscating all their property, and so contra
ry to all the Laws of War, and Laws of Na
tions, that ft would invite and justify foreign
intervention. He claimed that he expressed
| the President's views on the subject.

CAUSE SETTLED
A Massachusetts paper has discovered the
great source of all our failures to capture Rich
mond. It is no less than owing to the fact
that the secret of such expeditions has been
oommumcatcd to the lacffen. What next. I
New Hampshire.
The electian in New Hampshire has resul
ted in favor of the Abolitionists by an in
creased vote. Some of the New York papers
seemed to think t,hat there was a possibility
of carrying that State for Democracy and the
Union; but there was never any foundation
for such a hope. The State i& small, and too
easily overrun by shoddy influences. A few
thousand soldiers colonized in the State for
the special purpose of carrying the election
was openly effected, and has accomplished
the end. It wirtl be BO with all the New
I England States.
An army correspondent, of the A, Y.
World shows how the election was carried :
HILTON HEAD, S. 0., March 3.
Politics will not keep its finger out of thia
department. Two state agents lately came
down here from New Hampshire, ostensibly
to see the troops Irora that state, but in reali
ty to have two regiments from there go home
to vote at the spring election. They will be
sent north as veterans, and the men who go
have really re enlisted, but they were packed
off in a great hurry, and without all the
forms of the veteran law being complied with
that they might reach before the 10th of
March. These troops can ill be spared from
tie department, and would not have been
sent away but on the call of politics- The
men are all expected to vote the Republican
ticket- In one of the regiments an officer
had to agree to vote that way bejore he
could get promotion he had already earned.
The Health ofQ,ueen Vic.
It would really seem lhat Queen Victoria
is not to escape the hereditary defect of her
"ancient and noble family." A rumor now
prevails at Washington, that she is about to
abdicate the throne in consequence of mental
infirmity, while the advices by the city of
New York add confirmation to reports winch
have hitherto been current, that the Queen is
mentally incapacitated from any longer hold
ing the position of sovereign. She has not
been able to sit at council without betraying
her mental infirmity : and the recent action
of members of the cabinet, particularly that
of Lord Palmerston, has given the English
public au intimation that a change in the
monarchy may speedily he anticipated.
The cour-e of the Pi ince of Wales lately
has indicated a preparation to assume the
reigns ol power. I: is undoubtedly the fact
that, should ho do so, an entirely new foreign
policy would be inaugurated upon the Danish
question immediately, and afterward upon
American affairs, to our advantage. lie will
reign under the title ol King Edward the
Seventh.
Plafu Talk.
The Albany Statesman, a Republican pa
per has become so disgustedd with the cor
ruption and dishonesty of administration utfi
cials and partizans, thai it speaks out in the
I
following engertic terms :
A pack of sharks, hungry, viilai IOUS and
incorrigible, have fastened upon the public
Treasury aud depleted it at the rate of mil
lions monthly ; that the patronage of the
Federal Government has been bestowed upon
those with whom the electors, if allowed an
exercise of choice, would have absolutely re
fused all dealings until high places of trust
are held by knowu and convicted co morauts,
and men drive fast horses and live in tree—
stone houses purchased with United States
greenbacks, who ought to be pegging shoes
in State Prisons.
This is the way in woich " Honest Old
ABE" has restored the Government to the
purity " of the fathers."
CAUGHT IN OWN TRAP. —The oppo
sition contended that State rights are a
damnable theorj'; Simou Cameron said that
be codld not see the necessity of a Pennsyl
vania—a South Carolina or a Massachusetts ;
others of the same party have contended
openly that the State lines should be wiped
out and that we should be but one great con
solidated government. The first movement
was made in the United States Senate
week to carry ont practically this theory of
the opposition, and the result was several
pairs of abolition eyes enlarged to the size of
dinner plates. Mr. Davis introduced a prop
osition to consolidate the six New England
States into but two—to be called East and
West New Fngland. The proposition was
promptly referred to smother it.
There is a rumr, which seems to have rc
sonable foundation, that General Meade is to
be, or has actually been removed. lie was
lately at Washington to sustain himself
against a charge made by some officers under
httn of having given orders of Gettysburg,
! for a refr- y* rr'.n
WAT. J.I ... OC .......
shortly after the battle of Gettysburg, a ru
mor was set afloat that Meade was preparing
to retreat at the very moment of the com
mencement of Lee's retreat, but that he was
fortunately delayed in the movement long
enough to find it unnecessary. Ofeourse it
is not prudent to credit stories of this kind,
as they are most generally st arted through a
jealousy.
A Curious Coincidence:
At the Presidential election of 1860 four
teen thousand three hundred and forty seven
were cas' in the State of Florida. According
to Mr LINCOLN'S proclamation, fourteen
hundred and thirty four converts to aboli
tioo would suffice to bring the State back to
the Union ; but while he has failed to get
that as yet, and may therefore lose the elccto- !
ral of that State, the killed and wounded in
the last expedition just about amount to it
—the Tribune's estimrte being fifteen hun
dred. It win be singular if, when the cccounts
are corrected the nnrnber should be exactly '
fifteen hundred and thirty-four Ajc j

Out of the Wet.—James Gelliepie of this place
who is the tullest boy in Co. B. of the 12th Pa. Re
serves, returned from the army on furlough a few
days since in good health and fine spirits—having re
enlisted for another term of three years. " Ji.n"
likes goldiering amazingly, and thinks that to relum
to civil life, he would be DO better than a ' fish out of
wn ter." Since his return be went on a visit to some
friends in Bradford County, shortly after which it
was confidently assorted, and quite generally believ
ed that he w; s drowned near Skinner's Eddy, while
passing down the river in a boat with two compan
ions, The circumstances of the drowning were giv
en with much minuteness by the two men wno were
said to have been rescued from the same fate, while
clinging to the boat which was capsized. Whatever
foundation there may have been for this story, we
are authorized by " Jim," himself, to contradict it
most emphatically, so far as ho is concerned. He
has'nb the slightest notion of deserting his brave
companions on the banks of the Potoifiac, and taking
up quarters with eels, in the mad of the Susquehan
na.— Vive la Gillespia.
