Its excessive joy, at the result of thc- Jate election, came very near taking the thing off. It immediately went iuto "a trance;" and had it not got ali ttle stronger snuti ol the essoinee of nigger, applied to its nose by the right man and at the right time, it would probably, ere this, have been "clear gone," Fortunately the physician and the remedy were both at hand. Ira Avery, who com menced his labors in behalf cf the nigger, up wards of twenty years ago, and who now be gins to see and enjoy the fruits of his toil, appears at the critical time, and breathes the breath of life into the.nostrils of the defunct concern. This new editor, like all his pre decessors, gives assurances that his paper shall be a very moral, high taned one. He will avoid 'all low slang—all abusive and approbrious epithets." He now considers himself the next thing to a preacher-, and wc think he is. If the lies which have abounded in that sheet for the past ten weeks (the time during which he claims he ha been its editor,) is a sample oi the "truth fulness, uprightness, and integrity," which will hereafter characterize it, we rather think the preachers will be sectnd to him , not he, second to them. Preacher Emory, it will be recollected, promised to print a moral, truth Jul, high toned paper. Iu less than two months his capital stock run so low, that be nadn't even the semblance of morality or "honesty left about him. It. hid all gone into he paper, and thus was scattered to the fotir vinds of Heaven. " Bruddcr Abcry" having been so long connected witn the underground Kail Road, bis stock of niggerism, upon which he will principally r die, must he very large. He wil probably hold out longer than Emery did. " We presume our Republicanism will need no endorser," says this meek smooth-faced government officer. O! no; "Bruddcr Abery" you'r all right on all of the isms, —John Brownism, Garrisoniani sot," Abolitionism, Lincolnisot, niggerism and disunion ism, have •II found in you au ardent adovcate,and most devoted worshipper. We 'hiukycur Black Republicanism wil! never be called iu ques tion. For the present, Adoo ! Notice to Delinquents, We hare commenced making out and send ing bills to delinquent subscribers. We shall continue to do so until we ascertain who will pay their subscriptions and who will not. Th names of the latter class, or dead heads will be struck frgm our books, and their ac. counts will be put into the hands of a proper person for collection. The cost of labor,paper and other materials used by us; obliges us to adopt this c)u rse ? a matter of self protection. ■■ ■ JKT The veracious and saintly editor of the Republican, in his paper of last week says: "There is nothing cheap now but paper money and Democratic "Ciub Stock"—ex cepting it may be the initiation fee into the secret, oath bound order of K. G. C., sons of Liberty &c. &c. Some say members come in at hulf price after Nov. Bth. Ilotv is that neighbor Democrat ?" This is a specimen of what may be expect ed from a man who claims that his offico is next to the pieachers ; and uhomakts such hypocritical proftss'ilis of "in tl fu'ni ss, up rightness, integrity, and fair dealing," as ap appeared in the same issue containing it. From the N*w Ilaven Register. Sanit.ry Expenses, We have received a copy of the rejort ol ♦he Secretary of the Sanitary Commission the Western Department of the United States located at Louisville, Kj*., from Sept. 1, IBGI, to January, 18G4. The amount collected is put at $5321,035, 42. Of this, there has bun expended for the "purchase c f supplies'' §93- 592,56 —while the expenses of buying and distributing this aid to the soldiers amounted to §170,493, 59 ! of which the sum of $93.- 274 74 was expended in salaries alone!— From this it wouid appear that for every feu dollars distributed for the benefit of the &:>l r d ! er, three were taken for the expenses of getting it to him, and nearly as much in •mount as was actually distributed to the va rious camps was taken from ti-e fund in sala ries, for the report does claim to have "dis tributed" but §48,010 08. 4 This i 8 "charity" with vengeance. This it the way the money goes.and it ia nut much better than stealing. People generally sup pose when they give their money to li&lp the tick aud wounded soldiers that it gies thro' * the hands of kind hearted people, direct to the camp and hospital, without mcch charge beyond that of transportation, and that is gem rally donated They have no idea that any part of it goes to fatten the pockets of a •*t if Aminidab Sleeks,who are always hang ing mbcut charitable enteisrpre*. car Wife (complaining)—" I haven't snore than a third of the bed."

When the war commenced, the people rushed iurward far the defence tmd restera tion ot the Union with an enthusiasm, un. precedented in history, and volunteer sol diers offered their services in numbers far beyond the requirements of the Government. Nor did the effervescence soon subside. It was not checked till t lie war cry of the "No- I gro" was substituted for that of the Union;' | and then the zeal lor volunteering began to ijag. The Administration, to obtain men to fill the depleted ranks in the field, found itself compelled to adopt the double system j of bribery and coercion ; of temptation, in the shape of enormous bounties, and of force ! ia the form ol an unconstitutional conscrip- : tion. From the appended paragraph it ap pcars that both schemes have failed to ac complish the desired olject, llow the privilege ol procuring substitutes j , could diminish the number of the draft, we cannot understand. as the substitute takes the place of the principal, and we are equally in the dark as to the laiiure of the bounties i r to allure mercenaries, white or black. The | deficiency we believe is ascribed to the draft j and not to the paid enlistments. But a new draft is to be ordered, not only, as we un derstand it, to fill up the deficiencies iu the old call, hut to obtain three hundred thous and men under a requisition. Such is the prospect bcf ie the people of the country— drait, debt, and starvation—if the present dyuasty contiuue 4 to bold power. Conscription was called by Bonaparte, as we learn fpom Thibaudeau, "thoj dread and desolation of families." Even in the Cv,un try where it originated, and under the orsus enforcement of it by Nap..lcon, it was not a success. It was a conception ol Jor don in 1798, and under the lirot call in l&dO 200.000 men were raised. Bonaparte of course fount: the system iu opicratiuu when he attained power, and he applied himaelf strei u usly to promote its efficiency. Being a long time confined to young men le iv.ten the ages of twenty and twenty live and the levies being small iu comparison oj those demanded by the vast military spirit of Mr. Lincoln, it was les expressive, on families and less injurious to the productive interests than our miscellaneous and gigantic system. But there it was not effective ;ti keeping large armies afoot. % Iu the latter part of 1813, 350,000 con scripts in addition to the troops in service j were placed at the disposal of the emperer, j and at the same time 180,000 were taken | from the national guards for the defence of towns and fortifications ; and yet in a few months after, he had hardly 150,000 regular troops so oppose the allies. Such was French experience. We are 'earning ■ something about the system, and it is to be hoped we may profit by our lessons. ' Let the legitimate ol ject of the war be re- j s lined, and the draft will not be needed; vol j unlters will again flock to the stars and stripes, A Washington letter to New York says, among other things:— "It ia understood hure that the report of the Secretary of war to Congress w ill em brace the substance ifa very important com l mumcaticn upon the subject of the coiibcrip tiou act, which has been addressed to Mr. S Stanton by Provost Marshal Fry. It is ta ted that this document claims that the pres ent conscription law is not only a fa; lure in producing the right kind of men, but is a j uiouitrous expense, not only to the govern ; incut, but to individuals, cities, coun.ics, and townships. General Fry urges that the Jaw I should be amended, not allowing substitutes, and compelling the personal serv ecs of every i man. no matter what his situation, a? ' soon as be is drafted. It is found that the j ! last can for live hundred thousand uvea has j { probably not ad ieu to our armies more than j I one hundred thousand. it will ho renietn- j bared that the Military Coin nit tee ot both the Senate and House strongly urged the striking cut of the substitute clause in the last Congress, it was also the c truest wish | of the War will recommend to Congress the , abolition of the right to procure substitutes, j and the fifty day notice, so that hero alter the j men drawn Will be promptL put into the j ranks. Three hundred thousand more men j will be needed f>r the prosecqgijft of the campaign, if it :s deemed advisable to Rep up our armies to their present standard. It is found that as our army is pushed into the j Southern territory a grea'cr nu inber of men are needed to cover the enormous cxt<ut ot , our line-. Hence it is almost cert si u that a ' p rcraptory draft for three hundred thous- I and men will be made as early as the first of ' January."—f.r. I)o yor CALL THIS FREEDOM ?—A gentle man fresh from Washington City and well i informed as to the facts, says that eveiy offi cer in charge oi hospitals or camps who is i found to be in favor of Moduli an, is at once j j relieved, and tlint every effort will be bn.'t to bear to prevent a fair expression of the 1 soldier voto in the army. This may do for i a little while but may be pushed too far by ! an Administration which confesses it is only carrying on the war fur the base purpose of perpetuating itself in tower. Ir WILL TAKE THE HALF. —At the end ol Lincoln's term half the real and personal pro perty in the whole country will be mortgaged to pay the debt. The man who hoi Is a deed for one hundred acres of land, will in reality own fifty. Half the horses in his stables,ha! the cattle in his fields, half the pigs in his pen and hal f the grain in his barn, will go to the shoddy contractors who are running th country in debt at the rate of three million dollars a day, to liberate about six negoes week.

Horrors of War, i The Liverpool (England) Cornier of the 18:h nlt.j publishes the following letter ad drctsed to the Federal commander in Vir ginia by tlie|wife of a gentleman w hose house ! was burned in Jefferson county, Va. : SUEPHERDSTOWX, Va , July 20, 1304. j General Hunter—Yesterday your under ling, Captain Martindale, ef the "First New York Veteran Cavalry," executed your in famous order and burned my house. You have had tl.e satisfaction cte tins of receiving from lnrn the information that your orders were fulfilled to the letter; the dwelling and | every outbuilding, seven in number, with | their contents, being burned- I, therefore, a I heipless % woman, whom you have cruelly wronged, address you, a tnaj >r general of the United States army, and demand why this was done ? What was my offence ? My husband was absent, an exile. He | has never been a politician, or in any way | engaged ir* the struggle now going on, liis I age preventing. This fact David Strother, j your Chief of Staff, could have told you. | The house was built by my father, a involu tional-)' soldier, who served the whole seven | years for yi.ur independence. There wis I born; there the sacred dead repose; it was my house and my.home ; and there has your niece, who lived among us a)! this horrid war up to ibe present moment, met with al'J kiud .nessand hospitality at my hand). Was it for this that you turned me, my (young daugther. and little son out upon the ! world without a shelter? Or was it because Imy husband is the grandson of the revo lu tioriarv patriot and rib I, R chard Ilonry I Lee. and the near kinsman of the nobl.st of j Christian Warriors, the greatest of generals, Robert F.. Lee? Heaven's blessing be upon j his head forever ! You and your Govern j men I have failed to c mquer,subdue,or match ( him ; and disappointed rage and malice find ■ j vent upon the helpless and inoffensive. Ifyena like, you have torn my heart to pieces ; for all halloweJ memories clustered .round that homestead—and, demon -like, you have done it without even the pretext of revenge; for I r.ever saw or harmed you | Your cilice is not to lead, like a brave man ! a soldier, your men to fight in the ranks o 1 the wai : but your work has been to separate' yourself from all danger, and with you r in cendiary band, steal unawarc-s upon helpless women and children, to insult and destroy. Two fair homes did you yesterday lay in ashes, giving not a moment's warning to the staitlod inmites of yuui wicked purpose; turning mothers and children, out of doors ; your Very name execrated by your own men for the cruel work you gave them to do. In ti.o cise of Mr. A. It. 15 >tcler, both fath cr and mother were far away. Any heart but that of Cent. Martindale (and yours w'o'd have been touched by that little circle, com. prising iw.l) v, just risen from her bed of illness, her three little fatherless babes—tlit* eldest not five years old —and h T heroic sis ter, I ic; eat, any man would have been touched at that sight. But Capt. Martindale —one might as well hope to find mercy and feeling in the heart of a wolf, bent cn its prey of young lambs, as to search for such quali ties in h;s bosom. You have chosen well your man for such deeds; doubtless you will promote him. A colonel of the federal army has stated that you deprived forty of your officers o' their commands because they refuse to cairy out your malignant mischief. All honor to I eheir names for this at least. They are mcr.i i they have human hearts and biuali for such | a commander. 1 ask who that does not wish infamy and dig:aco attaehcS to him fartver would ; suve under you? Your name will stand on history's page as the Hunter of weak wo j men and innocent children ; the' Hunter to i destroy defenceless villages and refined and beautiful homes ; to torture afresh the ago nized hearts of siiffering{widows; tho Hunter of Africa's poor sons and daughters, to lure I them on to ruit: and death of sou! and bo i dy : the Ilunter with the relentless heart a wild beast, the face of a fiend, and the form—of a man. Oh. Earth, behold the I monster. Can I say, "God f rgive y< u?' No pray :cr can be offered for you. Were it possi ble far human lips to raise your name heav onward, angels would thrust tho foul thing ! back again and demons claim their own. The i curse of thousands, the scorn of the manly and upright, and the hatred of the true and honorable, will follow you and yours through j all time, and brand your name, Infamy ! Tnfa '' my!! Again I demand, why have you burned my . house ?

During General Butler's late trip to New York, Samuel Smith and Andrew W. Smith applied for an attachment against him, he being a non resident debtor. The plaintiffs in their complaint over that in May, 18G2, they were private bankers, doing business under the firm name of Samuel Smith & Co., at 27 Camp street, New Orleans. On the 10th of May, General Butler.it is alleged, forcibly entered their establishment, teok aw.iy ail their funds, private accounts, and in gold Cain. All this property w * kept from them until July, when the defendent returned all their property except the gold coin, which tho plaintiffs allege he c nverte i t■ his own use, and refused co deliver up to them when demanded. Upon this state of facts the judge granted a writ of attachment against fhe property of the defendent in the sum of $150,000. The compla it a d original process wore served upon the General in person by under Sheriff F. L. Yolutee. The Sheriff has also attached all monies due the General from the United States .and now in the sub-treasury, also the monies in tho hands of his private bankers j Messrs Macombcr & Shields. TUfcl WAR. , Wo are able to trace Sherman's progress 1 down to last Wednesday. Both of his ex peditions have been chicked, Slocutn's ex pedition, which moved south from Atlanta, was, on November 19th, twenty miles north ; of Macon. Our statement of Saturday was , correct. The Confederates succeeded in placing a strong force in Slocum's front at that point, and he was checked. Down to Tuesday last he had rna 'e no farther pro gress toward Macon, and was believed to hare turned to the eastward. Macon is thus relieved from immediate danger. Kilpat rick's cavalry expedition, which, at last ac counts, had reached Wallace, a small town just North of the Macon and Mihedgeviile , Railroad, made no attempt to march on Ma con. It turned toward Milledgeville ; cap j 'urcd the city, and burned some of the pub | lie buildings. Both Siocutn and Kilpatrick I seem to have abandoned the idea of captur j ing Macon, and arc be'vved to be moving | eastward towards Augusta or Savannah. General Howard's expedition which Sher man directs in person, has started from At ; lanta to Augusta, though when, is not aocur | ately known. This column moved eastward j to Crawlirdsville, atovn on llie Atlanta ; and Augusta Railroad, Seventy miles from Augusta. Ilere the Con tderate cavalry ; were first found. Maki"g|but slight opposi jtion,tl.ey retreated before Howard's ad j vancing troops until Berzelia, a town twenty j one miics from Augusta, was reached. Here i the Confederates Were reinforced, and made . a successful siand. There are reports that ; Howard's advance was repulsed with loss. Such was tlie condition of affairs before Au gusta on "Wednesday last. Tie military situation on that day was 'this: Siocutn was twenty miles north of Macon, with a confed erate force in his front strong enough to check him. Kilpatrick was at Milledgeviile, twenty five miles east of Slocum and thirty miles north east of Macon. Howard was at Berzelia, sixty miles north eat of Kilpatrick ' and ti Id)' five mites northeast of Siocutn. A force was'n front uf Hal.'ecK which was ' apparently strong enough to check him. General Forrest, with the body of Coa ' i federate troops which lias fur some tune f ; been nearj Iluntsville, Alabama, has sudden j!y made a movement. He has marched | uorthwar s toward Columbia, a thirty , fizo utiles soit'.l of Nashville, Fearing li.at I Forrest would get in liis Thomas who j had advanced into Alabama, heg• n a retro : gade movement. lie abandoned Iluntsvilie and Decatur, and re treated into Tennessee, lie then withdrew through Pulaski, abau doiiing it, and retreating to Columbia. He , is now between Columbia and Nashville. | The Confederates are just smth of Columbia i Forrest commands. A contest is imminent, j There seems to bo very little doubt that | General Fat ly, having left a force at Stras j burg, has sent the greater part of his army to I Richmond.

There is a report from Washington that Commander Collins has been ordered to fake the Confederate steamer Florida,with her offi cers and crew, back to Uahia, Brazil.

That goal the nation strugg'es to day, and there refer can be pevee till we reach it. There is no I reconstruction pos-ib'e within twenty years' unless tire black and the white arc admitted j alike to suffrage. He has labored for twen ty live years to break up ibe Union in the interest ofjustice, and now ho labored to save it for the same end. Nationality was nothing to him when weighed against free dom and justice. The North did not take up arms in 1801 from love of Union, but, in his opinion, war would give the nation the right to ab dish slavery. It wa s the result of the work of (he Abolitionists that the na tion accepted the gauntlet of war.
