are our Authorized Agents to take Advertisement*

JD3T A bill to repeal the S3OO comtnuta
tion clause in the conscrint ion law, is now
pending in Congress. It has passed the Sen
ate and will probably pass the House, ft is
recommended by Old Abe, Secretary Stan
ton and Gen. Fry.
It is said that most of the money from this
Source have been expended" on and f<r nig
gers. It is presumed that these table sol
diers are getting scarce and more expensive.
JEST In the List of names of those draft
ed from this County, we notice a number
who have long since gone to the land of spir
its. Quite alar-re percentage too have al
ready enlisted and gone to war. As the class
first mentioned are doubtless in ileavtn,
it is fair to presume that none of old Abe's
Marsha lis will ever see them, unless they
mend their ways; and that speedily.
The War.
Gen. Grant has changed his base of opcr--
tion from the to James Hi vcr;
snd it is said, is investing Fort Darling
Sheridan is out on a grand raid. John Mor
gan the great raider is said to have captured
Cynthia, and two regiments of Ohio troops
but afterwards put to Bight by Gen. liar,
bridge.
C3C The I runout and Lincoln pla'forms
both appear in our paper of to day, if Fre
mont's letter on our Lir-t pigetnsv be regard
ed aa nis. By a comparison of them it will be
found that both have the nigger equality
plank. In all other points they aic as differ
ent as light and darkness.
List of Conscripts.
One third of th >se ia tho list of drafted
men as published by us a day or two since,
it seems will not. now be called upon to
wear the blues." The draft, to that ex
tent, it is now said, was wrongfully made.
The additional fifty per cent to cover exemp
tions having been by mistake twice added to
the respective quotas.
The list as published by us in to day's j a _
pet, is a carefully corrected one—the names
of iho 108, overdrawn, being omitted.
These gentlemen, most of whom have already
received their notices, will no doubt feel il.at
they have been sadly hoaxed ;..but we imag
ine tney will take the joke in good humor.

The Hand of Provldcuce.
Tha hand of Providence is in this war ; so
aay the Infidel preachers whose hands are
reeking in human blood. We find the fl
lowing incident in an exchango. How many
euch are transpiring every day, which never
become known to the community : "Mrs.
Betsey Elliott, whose husband is in the 17th
Maine Regiment, was found dead in Portland
a few days since, on the floor, there being no
bed or furniture in the house, and nothing to
•at. Her daughter, about 15 years old, was
tho only person with her. Tho corpse was
lying upon a few rags, and there was nothing
in the house to cover it with. She died from
want.
THE RIGHT NAME, AT I.AST.— Up to the
present time, the Administration presses,
Radical Abolition as well as moderate Re
publicans, have cautiously styled ''the pres

the patient submission of the people to the
unconstitutional measures which have been
enforced by the authiritv of Presidential
Proclamations, they are throwing of the
mask, and beginning te cail tilings bv tneir
right names. The Philadelphia Bulletin of
Thursday evening, speaks of "the present

The Shoddy Convention •
i The Uncoil Shoddyite Convention a
sambled at Baltimore on Tuesday last. It
was made up chiefly of persons under special
obligations to old Abe. They assembled in
j the Front Street Theatre, whers a Rev. gen
! tletr.an from Kentucky made his " first ap
pearance on the stage." There was consid
! erable discussion about alio admission of del
egatee from the seceded States. Thad, Ste
vens took strong grounds against their ad •
mission alleging that it would be - equivalent
; to recognizing their rights in the electoral
college. The correspondent of the New
York I Voilii, classifies the members OD the
committee of platform thus :
! Oppoiition to arbitrary arrvt 0
ID favor of liberty of the pre ti 0
Maintenance of the Monroe doctrine 0
Against violation of the rlghi of asylum .0

S'ggrs 10
• Elitors of { arty journals - 20
The rest are unaccounted for, but it is be
j licved that they will all bo found in the
! three classes first mentioned.
The platform consists of a scries of eleven
resolutions, which areas follows :
j Resolved, That it is the highest duty of
every American citizen to maintain against
; all their enemies the integrity of the Union
! and the paramount authority of ihe Coueti
! tution and laws of the United States, and
that, laying aside all difference and political
opinions we pledge ourselves as Union men,
j annimated by a cenuion sentiment and aiin
; ing at a common object, to do everything in
; our power to aid the government in quelling
!by force of arms the rebellion now raging
against its authority, and in bringing to the
1 punishment due to their crimes the rebels
and traitors arrayed against. (Prolonged
\ applause.)
Resolved , That wa approve the determi
nation of the government of the United
) States not to compromise with rebels or to
! offer any terms of peace except such as may
I be based upon an " unconditional surrender"
lof their hostility and a return to their just
allegiance to the Constituting and laws of
' the United States ; and that we call upon
! the government to maintain this position,
' and to prosecute the war with the utmost
possible vigor to the complete suppression
!of the rebellion; in full reliance upon the
| self-sacrifices, the patriotism, the
i heroic vbr and the undying devotion of
j the American people to their country and its
j free institutions. (Applause)
! Resolved. That as slavery was the cause
and now constitutes the strength of this re
bullion, and as it must be always and every
where hostile to the principles of the Repub
lican government, justice and the national
j safety demand its utter and complete expia
tion from the anil ol the republic (applause,)
and that we uphold and maintain the acta
&nd proclamations by which the government
in its own defense, has aimed a death blow
to this gigantic evil ; we are in favor, fur
thermore, of such an amendment t the Con
stitution, to be made by the people. in con
formity with its pri v.sicns, as si.all terini
nate and forever prohibit the existence of
slavery within the limits or the jurisdiction
of the Lniled Slates. (Applause.)
Resolved, That the thanks of the Amer
ican people are due to the soldiers and sai
lors of the army and navy, who have periled
their lives in d"fen*e<of their country and in
vindication of the honor of the flag; that the
nation owes to them some permanent rec
ognition of their patriotism and their valor,
and ample and permanent provisions for
those of their survivors who have received
disabling and honorable wounds in the ser
vice of the country ; and that the memoiies
of those who have fallen in ita defense shall
be held in gratclul anl everlasting remem
brance, (Loud applause )
Resolved , That we approve and applaud
the practical wisdom, the unselfish patriot
ism, and answering fidelity to the Constitu
tion and the principles of American liberty
with which Abraham Lincoln has discharged
under circumstances of unparalleled difficul
ty, the great duties and responsibilities of
the presidential office ; that we approve and
indorse, as demanded by the emergency
and essential to the preservation of the na
! tion, and as within the Constitution, the
measures and ac's which he has adopted to
defend the nation against its opeu and secret
foes; that we approve especaily the procla
mation of emancipation, and theemploy tnent
as Union soldiers of men heretofore held in
"davery (applause;) and that wo have full
j confidence u his determination to carry
those and all other constitutional measures
essential to the salvation of the country into
full and complete effect.
Resolved , That we deem it essential to the
general welfare that harmony should pre
vail in the national councils, and we regard
as worthy of public confidence and official
trust those only who cordially indorse the
principles proclaimed in these resolutions,
and which should characterize the adminis
tration of the government. (Applause)
Resolved, That the government owes to
j all men employed in its armies, without re
gard to distinction of color, the full protec
. tion of the laws of war (applause,) and that
any violation oi these laws or of tho useges
of civilized nations in the time of war by the
rebels now in arms should bo made the sub
ject of tall and pron.pt redress. (Prolonged
' appUuss )
Resolved , That the Joreign immigration
which in the pa>thas added so much to the
wealth and developement of resources and
increase of power to this nation, the asylum
of the oppressed of all nations, should be fos
tered and encouraged by a liberal and just
policy.
Resolved, That we art? in favor of tho
speedy construction of the railfoad to the
Pacific.
Rtsolvtd. That the national filiih, pledged
for the redemption of the public deb', must
be kept inviolate; and that for this purpose
we recommend economy and rigid responsi
bility in the public expenditures, and a vig
orous and just system of taxation; that it is
the duly of every loyal state to sustain the
credit and promote the use of the national
currency. (Applause.)
Resolved, That we approve the position
taken by the government that 'he people of
the United States can never regard with in
difference the attempt of any E iropoan pow
er to overthrow by force or to supplant by
fraud the institutions of any republican gov
ernment on the Western Continent [prolong
ed applause], and that they will Yew with
extreme jealousy, as menacing to the peace
and independence of this our c >untry, the ef
forts of any such power to obtain new foot
holds for ruonarchial governments sustained
by a foreign military fore/ in near proximity
to the United States.
Truth from an Unexpected (Quarter.
The Lincoln faction, sa.vs the N. V. World,
squirm painfully under the truth-telline expo
sures of General Fremont's letter. The Re
publican organs have for two years been
pouring contempt on the Democrats for their
persistent denunciation of the conduct of the
administration in trampling in the dust all
our constitutional guarantees of civil and per
sonal liberty ; in prostituting the war to sel
fish, corrupt and personal ends ; in betraying
the national honor. All such denunciation
has been pronounced by these time serving
office-holding patriots to be treason itself,
"copperheadism." They have extolled the
very blunders of an imbecile cdministrtfion;
they have justified us arbitrary ami illegal
Violations of inviolable rights as necessary
and lawful, and, instead of protesting against
the crimes of our rulers, they have done
nothing but denounce the protests of those
wlio suffer by thr.ir crimes. Suddenly these
wretched panderers to power discover that
their wholesale libels upon a liberty-loving
people have not merely failed to silence the
indignant outcries of thair political opponents
but have extorted equal indignation from the
lips of their political friends, Ii their own
ranks suddeuly rise up thousands upon thou
sands who, like the Democrats, will not con
sent to sacr iice to an imbecile and corrupt
administration all that heritage of freedom
which make* a government worth the dtvo
tion of free nen ; id who, in tlio spirit of
freemen, refuse to surrender their liberties to
the custody, or intru-t their ag'airs to the
management of such faithless and incompe
tent men.
Ihe spectacla is comi" rting to men who
had a most despaired of tree instituti >ns when |
they saw the party in powar wielding a pat- •
rouag* enormous beyond precedent, driving j
the people to choose between disunion and
despotism. But it strikes terror into tho 1
hearts of those who cringe, and fawn, and
liatter at the footstool of power.
More Assaults on tho Poor Stan,
Lincoln and Stanton have appealed to Con
press, to repeal the §3OO draft commutation. ,
They would like to have it believed that their !
object is simply to get men to fi'l up the army j
but honest intelligent people will not think 1
so. If the great matter is to get men, by :
draft, for military service, why .not close all
doors of escape, against all able bodied men < f
proper age 1 Why repeal the §3OO clause,'
and leave the substitute door open ? Lincoln !
and Stanton both know that the §3OO com
mutation has saved many a poor man from '
being dragged away from his family, and ;
that if it is repealed, there wdl be no chance ;
of escape for any bat the rich, or the sons of'
the rich, for substitutes would advance to
§IOOO or more, far beyond the reach of any
pour man however many friends he may have.
No, no, Messrs. Lincoln and Stanton, if it j
is men you want—able-bodied men—then
say so, honestly, and c ill for and take rich
ana poor alike. Away with y.>ur unjust dis- '
crimination. Strike out the substitute pro
vision.as well as the §3OO, and put all on the
same platform, or strike out neither.
i A\ e trust Congress will consent to no such j
' proposition ; and that they will catiso the :
§3OO and substitute provisions, to stand or
fall together. The life of a rich man is no
morn valuable to himself and family, than is ,
j tiie life of the poor man to himself and his
family ; and this Lincoln Stanton effort to (
discriminate against the poor, cannot be too j
severely repudiated.— Jeffeisoniun.
j EST When Mr Seward fir st announced
that there was a "higher law" than the
Constitution, there was a goad deal of dis
pute as to what he meant. Since he aid j
his party have been in power, however, it ;
has been put in practice, and the country
now can understand what the " higher law"
really is. It is not God's law—for it vio
lates the most obvious dictates of justice j
nor man s law, vrhxh is contemptuously ig- I
ncred; it is ihe law of Messrs. Lincoln,
Seward and Stanton's hates, caprices, and
follies. This is the " higher law" to which
we are Indob c-d for the violation of the
right of asylum, for arbitrary arrests, and i
for attacks up >n the liberty of the press. It
is for the people to say whe' .or they want j
to continue it for another f <ur years.— World :

About Lawyer Generals.
'I he New York limes champions Mr. I.in
oln bungling!}*. lis editor writes a book
showing what a 'brilliant general " Honest
Old Abe" has prosed to be, and then, doubt
less to relieve his conscience, writes an arti
I cle in his paper aboat civilian generals, ia
' which occurs the following terrible criticism
upon the subject of his book eulogy :
" Not one solitary civilian, from the be-
I ginning of the war until now, has shown
hitii elf competent for high command. The
folly of trusting military empiracism has
j been written out in letters of blood, with il
lustration after illustration, during this war,
so that now uo observing man in the coun
try can possibly gainsay it. The truth
| ought to have been plain enough at the ou*-
I set. that military science demands as systc-
I matic and protracted study as that of law or
medicine ; and that it is just as absurd to
' improvise a judge from a schoolmaster, or a
physician from a mechanic. The want of
profr:onal training is just as sure to make
| military charlatans as to make legal or tned
: ical charlatans."
This is all true euough, even though it
was written by the author of the new " Life
|of Lincoln." The following document givos
! it particular point:
EXKCUTIVE MANSION, )
W ASHING i o.\, February 3 1862. £

MY DEAR SIR : You and I have distinct
! and different plans for a movement of the ar
my of the Potomac. Yours to be done by
the Chesapeake, up the Rappahannock to
Urbana,and across and to the terminus of
the railroad on the Y'ork river [the very
I point where Giant now rests his base ;]
mine to move directly to a point on the
] railroad southwest of Manasas.
If you will give me satisfactory answers to
| thai following questions, / shall gladly yield
j my plan to yours :
Ist. Does not your plan involve a greatly
larger expenditure of time and money than
! mine ?
21. Wherein is a victory more certain by
! your plan than mine 1
3d. Wherein is a victory more valuable by
your plan than mine ?
i 4th. in fact would it not be IPSS valuab'e
'in this, that it Wou.d break no great lint* of

Yours truly,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

i Grant recently started on it, end, according
' to Stanton, said he would " hgnt it out on

Lee appears to have slid him off East, into

after the loss (according to the N. Y. Trib

i missing, in the tracks made by McClellan
i two years ago, and where he could have
gone, by water, with the lose of scarcely any
i men 1 'lhus, it Grant should capture R'ch
' mond, he will do it, with "shovels and

2 IST" '** things American citizens will
do weli to remember :
1. The Republican Convention at Haiti
moio indorsed till the arbitrary at rests, the
abrogation of tfie liberty of the press, free
dom of speech an 1 of person, and the inter
leience of th military with Ireo elections, as
unswerving fidelity to the Constitution
and the principles of American liberty,"
2. It indorsed the corruption of the most
important of our elections, by Mr. Lincoln's
one-tenth rotton borough system, in admit
ting the delegate* without a constituency
from our centers of m litary occupation along
the southern coast.— World.
jesr !he "off-hand"' man of the New-
York Ledger thinks that the Ladies' absti
pence—froin f<>reign-goods-exciteuient will be
a nine days wonder, and then die out
Whenever says fie, you see a hundred rich
ladies promenading Broadway in American
calico ureases, with American liay State
shawls on their shoulders, and American
straw hats tnnuned with American geese
feathers, ami with American muslin for
airings on their lu-ads, just drop me a line at
the Ledger office, nnd 1 will invite you to
dine with uie, at the Central Park, on birds
that have dr. pped ready roasted from the
skies, and on fowls that run about carrying
knives anil forks,and saying, "please eat me,"
and we will wash down the dinner with a
draught from the Lake, which will then bo
full of .ce cold ch&rnpaguc punch.
'be fruits of tie nigger cinancipn
tion proclamation, iho county hove bceu as
surcn, was the addition to our armies of
100,000 Stalwart Americans of African de
seen'." If there is this number ol fighting
niggers in our armies, why don't we hear of
their d dng some fighting ? Where is there
sn equal number of white soldiers that have
been as free f-om the shock of arms ? The
truth is the dmkies can't be trusted in a fight
Another reason, doubtless, is thai the "white
ti.uh is considered of little account if only
the niggers are spared.
