We have undoubtedly worked up the week, ' mild-mannered," christian-like edit or of the nigger or s an, of this place, into a pious passion. In Irs last issue, he devotes nearly three mortal columns of that organ to, what be may call, a defense of himself against what lie charges, as "base, unfounded and calumnious stuff," published by us. From the length of his articles, it might bo sup posed that lie had succeeded in honorably acquitting himself, were it not true of hitn, I th.it "'Ho speaks an infinite deal of nothing. IBs reasons are as two grains of wheat, hid in two bushels of chaff; you may seen, all da}', ere y< u find them ; and when you have them they are not arcrth the search. ' To pick out and exhibit to public in* spcction, these hidden "grams, ' and their . depositor, is now our purpose. Though he declares our article—which he copies—(for this wo thank yon, Ire) to be "calumnious ;" he fails, after spreading out j columns of details, to disprove a single fact, ; asserted in it. lie docs not even deny any p> rtiou of it, except, that he was "vindictive j and violent," on the occasion of the murder 1 of Holmes—the uigg- 5 r deserter. This, he : boldly challenges us to prove. Whether he' t was, or was not a "violent and vindictive" , i pursuer of the criminals, has but little to do with the imp. rtai.t question : Lid or did not Ira Avery—in violation of his own oc clared judge"'— make a rash oath, charging inno j • cent men villi murder ? That he did, he does not and date not deny. As to the feelings that moved his gentle spirit, if any proofs were needed, we would cite the fact that he has been a life long, avowed advu-* cate of the cause of the nigger—a follower and defender of abolition preachers and preaching frcm the very inception of their base plotjto destroy tbe Union, and elevate their idol to political and social equality with white men. And again ; the fact, that, in the case in question, he first appeared as prosecutor—was willing, even (as lie falsely allcdges, under persuasion) to swear to any thing contained in the information, in viola tion of his mild motto, "Iloir both sides, then judge." Are other proofs needed as to vindictiveness and violence ? If so, we will adduce in evidence, his own pious paper and these precious articles. He, very cunningly, attempts o befog the question, avoid the i ue, and divert atten tion from himself, by a dating his part in the matter with what was done by Judge Filwell. Judge Beckham and a half dozen other gentlemen. This won't do, Ire ! Be cause you violated your mild "motto" ar.d under oath, charged two innocent men with the crime of murder (even, being over per suaded, by us) does not prove that these men who took part in the trial of the guilty ones, are particeps criminis with you.— This looks like an attempt, by you, to wrig gle yourself into good company. As well, might a pickpocket, after having relieved his victim of his purse, sneak into a crowd of honest men, (a common expedient of such villains) aDd insist, that if he was a .thief, his companions were the same. "We give it as our opinion, without fee," that in mak ing that oath, you will have to stand before tho public, upon your own bottom ! and—we warn you—at the "great day" before the "Ruler of tho Universe." Even w.th your great experience in the wool business, you can't pull that atticlo over the eyes of the public; nor deceive Ilim, who will one day, "lUar both sides, then judge." Tho g rave charge that ho was over per suaded by us, to swear to what he did in ref erecce to tbe nigger killers, we'most emphat ically deny, Wo never su burned a witness in our life ! If true, as lie plainly intimates we did, in his case, we can hardly see how he will be held guiltless, before the great *'Judge of the quick and the dead"—unless by r easor.s of mental imbecility, he may es cape with impunity for acts committed un der the direction of a sane and responsible being. This model of christian excellence, this cautious oath-taker, this man of the mild motto, very graciously admits that "there is one person, in the shape of a human being meaner than we are. lie dues not, except by inuendo, tell us who it is. "Birds of a feather"—l e, you know the rest. For the sake of companionship, please tell us who this meaner fellow is. If it should be abn i from your own nest, we waive the inquiry and the company. You need not tell us, for it is 6aid to be *'a dirty bird that befouls its own nest." By the way,—speaking of nests, ain't yours getting a little foul, lie. to require such vigorous scratching—we mean with the quill—on your part, to keep it clean ? If from this time , henceforth, you devote qiull claw, and talon to the task, you will still, i g nominiously, sink deeper and deeper into the pit of filth, filled with the poisonous offal of a depraved mind, and the putrid exhalations of a bow-legged deformed body ! L Having searched out, dragged out, exhib ited to the public, turned our thumbnail upon—and snapped this fellow—is wo would any other vermin ; we will new look after his egg. We quote from the hist Republican : "When we hoard that a man had been shot in Ex eter Township we looked upon it as a shocking affair but when we heard that it was a Sickler who h'ad been taken away, supposing him likely to havo been in possession of traits of character resembling bis illustrsous relative and namesake here, and a politi cal disciple of his, we eamo to the cone-lust >n that more than likely the story had, like most other other stories, two sides to it ; and we concluded to make a vigorous effort at the exercise of fortitnde ) hoping by so doing to survive the shock. We are free to confess, Mr. Sickler, that our sympathies, as ysu intimate, aro with a well disposed negro in prefforeneo to a rascally white man. And now to conclude, we feel quite sure and we think a large majority of the readers of the Democrat and Re publican will agree with us when we say, that un less Is i.ac Sickler was a much li/clier mail than any of his natno of tUtS rtraseuline persuasion, old enough to have acquired a reputation, in Bradford, Wyo ming or Luzerne Counties, the tears shed over his grave will be few an I far betwaen and ra'her dry at that." As will be seen this week christian like man substantially justifies the murder of Isaac Sickler, supposing him to be like our ourselfand others of the namt. Ho frankly declared his greater sympathy for the nigger. As to his prejudices and af fections we have nothing to say, at present. "Every one to his liking." But ho docs not stop at this ; he goes farther and makes an attack,through Isaac Sickbr and u<, upon ev ery one of tho name, in three counties. VV e i will not answer in kind anu vilify those bear- ' ing the name of Avery. We know many of the j name who are worthy citizens and highly re spected in community. Most of them, we are ' glad to say, in no way related to Ire. While we feel that it is beneath the digni ty of respectable journalism—or,of a man,in a street brawl to attenipe to cast rej roach upon another for what,those of his name may have done, or are,we have nothing to fear in com parison, with Ira Avery nor his egg —the "fruit of his loins." If he will point out the meanest act ever done by one of our name, we will engage to find,!'* counterpart in this erg, f r whose incubation and youthful train ing ha it directly responsible to Lis G;d and to his fellow man. On this =core, Ire, allow us to hint, that the outer walls, of the hous e in which you have perched yourself, are of rlass and exceeding!': thin, at that. And to intimate "without fee." or reward our candid opinion, that yon have furnished to Commun Hi/, a specimen oj the human race, the mast depraved and base of his kind—without degeneration. Of this specimen and his worthy progeni tor, more. anon. We repeat what we said in a former article with the addition of a single clause : when we wish to "appear to advantage," we shall not follow the precept' not* example, of this nigger worshipping editor ; nor those of h,s progeny. Reduction cf our Ciuotas, The editor of the Columbia County Re publican, with Col. Freeze, of Bloomsburg, and J udge Mercer, of Towawda, lately paid a personal visit to Provost Marshal General Fry, for the purpose of getting, a reduction of our quota to something near what it should he. As it now stands, there are not enough men liable to enrollment and duty, to fill the quota assigned to the dislrict; allowing tlie one hundred per cent, for cases of exemption. These gentlemen were informed by Geo. Fry, that he could not grant the rebel sought for; and referred them to the President. He—good matured old soul—told them a story or two, but did not agree to reduce the quota. They were by hitn sent back to Fry. Fry seems to have had "other fish to fry." So their mission was bootless. Messrs. Buckalew and Tracy aided the committee in their efforts but to no purpose. Hopes are entertained l>y some of the more sanguine, that the quota will be so far reduced, as not to draft any more men than there are men to be drafted ! This, certainly, will be mag nanimous on the part of our rulers, We can hardly see where the men are to come from, for subsequent, and supplemental drafts; unless the old boys, young boys, cripples and j busle cds are called aptn to lay aside their 1 disabilities and infirmities, for the musket ! and knapsack-. The following report of facts was submit ted by the committee for the considcra'ion of Ge:i Fry and the President. TROY, I'ENXA, 13 DISTRICT, February 27, 1865. $ To Gen JAMES B. FRY, P M. G. Dear Sir: Tha enrollment in said Districts upon : 31st Dec. 1964. was 11,236. I'nler tho recent call [ for 300.000 men, a Draft ia said District was or dered for 2301. By'the enrollment a? sines corrected the whole j X'o. enrolled in said District is only 4093, as appears i by official pnper, certified to by the Provost Mar | shal of the Distiic-t, and herewith presented. This great change is partially produced by the fact, that so many attracted by the largo loca 1 bounties offered in tha State of New York, have en tered the military servi-e, accronitel to that State. As many as 6." having gone from one Township in Bradford oounty.. In many townships in tho D'strict there is no man left subject to military duty. The appears to have boon designed to draw r.' out onc-Jifth of the number enrolls 1. Observing th'. ratio, instead of 2301, the District Quota should j about SOO. Wo, therefore respectfully ask that a reduction, corresponding v.ih the reduced enrollment, be made in the Quota of raid 13th District. ULYSSES MERCUR, ) JOHN U FREEZE, r Committee. P.

The Army of the Potomac. A Correspndeat of the N. Y. News, speak ing of the Army of the Potomac says : The Army of the Potomac is not what it was three years ago. It may still possess the 6amc spirit as of old, but the body has changed. It is the Army of the Potomac on- 1 ly in name. Of the sixty-five or seventy thousand men in its ranks, not one in twen ty marched from York-town to the Chicka. ! hominy with McCleltan. Of its old comman ders, scarcely one in thirty remain. Many have been killed, many have been wounded almost to death, many have resigned, many ■ have been transferred to other fields and many have been dismissed the service. When its fame was greatest, the general who now 1 commands it and all other Federal armies was almost unknown. Its present command er was then general of a brigade under Mc- Clellan. Its glory then circled the brows of Sumner, and Kearney, and Porter,and Hook- 1 er, and Heintzelman ; but these are all gone the bravest to their last reward—and strange faces and strange voices are seen and heard in its camps. The men who sprang i to its ranks in the wild fever that raged in the summer of 'Ol are now at their homes or ; in their graves. It is no hmger regarded as an honor to be j long to the army of the Potmac. Its ranks are now made up in great part of men who sold themselves to their country, and would sell their country, if they dared; men who 1 carry muskets because they ate well paid for it, and measure patriotism by dollars. They are men who have no heart for the cause which tl ey baigained to fight for. Some have been cheated and smuggled into it; these desert whenever they can. Some others were drawn to it by offers of laige bounties ; these have no stomachs lor a bat tie,and will slit ink it when they can. Some have bad their manhood crushed by the tyranny of officers . j these aie mere machines, and would as soor. j die on the gallows as on the battle field. Iji j short, the army now commanded by General , Meade, although brave enough when bravery : is compelled, bears no no re resemblance to the army whose name if inherits, than the present gene rati* n of sham patriots and won- i ey worshipers bears to the past generation of true patriots and honest promoters of human I liberty. On this array will devolve the work of closing the war. It is now the custom to turn all eyes to the Carolina*, and there seek the hero on whose shoulders rests the man tie ofall military glory. But although Sher man has done a great deal toward the attain ment of the Northern purpose, and deserves* all the praise accorded to him. yet the heavi est part of the labor w ill fall to the lot of the army now before Petersburg. Sherman may be left to dispose of Johnston as best be can, but Grant must grapple with the strongest army and ablest general in the service of the Confedracy. It is the fashion to'say that the approaching contest will be a death grapple; that General Lee's army cannot possibly sur vive the terrible blows in store for it, and that when Autumn comes, there will no long er be an obstacle to the march of Northern soldiers through the territory of the South. Whether this prediction shall be fulfilled is a question that must be left to events. Grant has struck many blows as powerful and crush ing as any he is capab'e of striking now, -and the array that received them is still alive and full of vigor. llis army will never again he as strong as when it crossed the Rapidan in May last, and the best l>fe it then had has left it forever. It may win fresh laurels, and dig more gtaves, but it must pay in blood, for every leaf of laurel, and for every South ern grave a triple pall shall rest upon the homesteads of the North. THE WAK. Gen. Sherman's exact position is not known. He is endeavoring to open commu nications with Wilmington, N. C. Bragg and Sellofield have had a battle near Kingston, N. C., in which the confeder ates were worsted. Richrn nd papers say that Gen. Hampton's cavalry fought and drove Gen. Kilpatrick from his camp with a loss of hundreds of Prisoners, and a large amount Three cent pieces of copper and nickel ha/c been authorized by last act of Congtess, and tho issue of fractional currency under five cents is to be prohibited. Mr. Liincolu on Providence and the War The New York World of Monday has a clever editorial, from which we tnke the fcj- lowing: Things have turned out differently from what Mr. Lincoln expected when he was in angur&ted before, that lie is "astounded."— j Paralyzed by amazement, he has no confi i dene? to predict any end 'o the war. No- body, he says, "expected for the war the j magnitude or the duration it has already at- ! tained." Already .' This is the language ol ■ an "astounded" statesman who, having lust : all hold of any stable principles of judging apprehends that the war may, for aught he can tell, swell to proportions still more fear- | fill than it has yet attained. And so, aban doning all pretence of statesmanship of which : there is no vestige or semblauce in this strange inaugural—Mr. Lincoln takes refuge in piety. II this hideous calamity of intes tine war is not the fruit of human passion, folly, infatuation, and incapacity, but the; Work of God. then may Mr. Lincoln stand excused for the feebleness of his statesman- j ship: and oven Mr. Davis ought to be for • given fur his pre-ordained persistence in re- , beliion Ii we are to believe the "astounded" statesman who is to take another turn at the helm, this gigantic crime is the Lord's doings j and it is marvelous in Mr, Lincoln's eyes ; as it must, indeed, be in the eyes of everybody who adopts his pious theory ! And so our puzzled, "astounded," and pious President, giving over all attempt to solve the problem offered to his statesman- j ship, falls to speculating on the comparative j efficacy of opposite prayers'offered to the; same God. This point, as well as the gov- j ernmental questions which Mr. Lincoln ab stains from touching, seems too difficult for his powers ; and although he does not ex actly see how* slaveholders can have the ef- | frontery to pray to G>d at all he will form i no judgment, he says on the su'ject, lest he should he judged h mself. But without j quite disputirg the right of any class of j sinnero to pray. Mr. Lincoln ventures to h pe that his pray ers have a better chance to be I heard than the counter praying of the rebels in calling down slaughter upon us. But on! this point he speaks with the modest indv- i ci-ion characteristic of tiie man. "The prayers of both should not be answered which is as near as he can come to commit ting himself to the opinion that one party or tl c other must fail. But he finds in the i experienced fruits of four years' praying no i certain indication of which will bo the suc cessful party in what he with curious rever- i ence, is pleased to represent as a praying 1 match : That of neither," he says, "has been i fully answered. God ha> his own purposes.,' I Mr. Lincoln rises in his devotional fervor in to a sort of rymthambic, sliding into rhyme i - as unconsciously as Monsieur Jourdain had j spoken prose all his iife without suspecting j himslf ot that accomplishment. llis poetry I will compare favorably with his piety ; we j merely break it into lines, which the copyist for the telegraph omitted to do. Says Mr Lincoln, verbatim et literatim: "Fondly do ivo hope, Fervently do v 2 pray That this mb.ty scourge of war May speedily pass nv.ay " Amen ! say we ; and let all the je >p!e say, i Amer. ! We join in the prayer ; but have no , expectation that God will hear it in any oth- t er way than by sancti lying the means which j he leaves human statesmanship to devise.— j We have np faith 111 staying the cholca by marching in a procession with a b!.ck image of the Virgin ; or the u> re terrible scourge ! of war by calling God's attention to the con- j diti.'ii of the black race. The supcrabminding piety of Mr. Lincoln's | inaugural is as admirably reasoned as it is | appropriate in a state paper of this kind, where a simple recognition of the power and pruvidencce of the Supreme Being, is all that j was ever before thought becoming. If it be doubtful whether God will listen to the pray ers of slaveholders, may it not also be a littie | uncertain whether he is pleased with the i I pktr of a l.belcr ? Mr. Lincoln doubts, j whether Divine Justice may not have dcciJ- ; I ed to continue this war until the whole am- i j ount of blood sh'al I equal that drawn from the Southern slaus by the lash ! With 1 what face can a statesman stand up in the face (if the world with the language of piety in his mouth, and put forth this deliberate calumny on a part of his countrymen ? This has been the bloodiest war in history, and Mr. Lincoln charges on the Southern peo i pie the monstrous cruelty of having drawn 1 so much blood lrotn their slaves by the un j merciful use of the lash, that, counting drop | against drop, all that has been shed in this j most sanguinary war docs not yet equal what : has trickled from the lacerated hacks of the negroes. Does he think this odious libel : I has any tendency to hasten the fulfillment ! of his prayer for peace ? . 1 This representation of the purposes of the j Deity in the prolongation of the war gives an elevated idea of the Divine character. For I whose blood is it that flows in this terrible war as an offset to that whipped out of (lie negroes? Is it only that of brutal miscre ants who have practiced cruelty upon slaves? Would to Heaven it were so. According to Mr. Lincoln,the youth torn from their hands by conscriptions, to he slain or mangled on the battle field, are expiatory victims to atone for the cruelties of heartless slave drivers. Is there justice in that ? fh e President of the United States says that if God continues the war for the purpose of ap peasing the negro blood that cries for ven- j geance. it must he said "that the judgments of the Lord arc true and righteous altogether. Instead of regarding God as the author of the abettor of this horrible war, it would seem more consistent with humility, at least, to[ascribe it to the unhallowed sectional pas sions and the accnred personal ambition which were the visible agencies in bringing it on. Instead of supposing tha* He ordains | its continuance as a means of balancing a great ledger of blood, it accords better with our actual knowledge to say that 'the war has been protracted by the joint influence of administrative incapacity on one side, and stiff necked obstinacy in rebellion on the other. The Bible in answering the question, "whence come wars and fightings among j you traces them to quite another source ( than that discovered by the marvelous piety of our grotesque President. if the sin of slavery calK for this particular form of Ven geance, how does it happen that though sla very has, til! quite a recent period, been uni versal, this is die only great war, in ail the records of desolation, in which slavery has made such a figure ? It is but a few centu ries since slavery was universal, throughout Christendom ; tut the mode of its abolition in most European countries were so quet, obscure, and giadual that the diligence of historians is scarcely able to trace it. Dues not Mr. Lincoln think that the Being whose character he so piously depicts is also the God (f the Eastern Hemisphere ? The barrenaessjof this inaugural in all ideas j that belong to the province of statesmanship, and-the substitution therefore of a type of piety about as rational and enlightened as that which ascribes the melancholy caused by a fit of indigestion to "the hiding of the Di vine countenance," or that which makes children believe blisters wiil come on their tongues if they tell lies, will give* to foreign | nations an exalted idea of the abilities of the President we have re-elected to grapple with such a crisis as is now upon us. Our Maudlin Vice President. [From the Philadelphia Ledger] The saddest spectacle attending the inau guratiun at Washington, on Saturday, was j the Vice President of the country standing j before an assembled multitude of his fellow I citizens endeavoring particulate a maudlin . speech but unable to do so intelligibly. * j There beve been shameful exhibitions in ; public before by men occupying positions j and places of honor, but on no period of our , political history can there be found one so which so degraded the high office the people had assembled to honor. The Senate, blush ing fr the scene, immediately ordered the bar for the sale of liquors t > be removed ; but this does not rem >ve the public disgrace of the spectacle. It is painful to have to re lied in terms of censure upon persons exalt ed to the highest favors of the republic ; but the only way .to correct a bid example in such positions is for the people to condemn the open improprieties of their public ser* j vants and held them to a just accountability for their public c reluct. To slur over such 1 instances is to have more feeling for the in- | vidual than respect for the position he occu pies. % [From The Boston Post.] Vice President Johnson must have made an unfortunate exhibition of himself on the 4ch inst. Those who have thus humiliated the nation by placing him in its second of tice, wiil have much, we fear, to regret. To I have the highest officer of the American Senate present himself before the represen tatives of his own country and of the civil ize 1 world in the manner Mr. Johnson did on Inauguration day, and to deliver the rain bling, incoherent and slovenly harangue he pronounced on that occasion, is a fact unpre cedented in our history, and, it is hoped, will remain without a parallel case. [From the Now York Commercial Advertiser.] When Mr. Seward announced.a year ago, tin t Lincoln must be re-elected in order that be might be President of the whole country, it seemed at least 1 >gical that Mr. Hamlin should be included in the category. The Baltimore Convention thought different ly however, and so summoned Andrew Johnson of Tcunessee, to the second office in the Government. On Saturday he made his maiden speech as me President. V hen we f.ay that fhis was the most disgraceful ut -1 terance ever made by a public man in this . country, we used the mildest terra that can be applied to it. There can he but one excuse for this shameful speech, and that, is more shameful than the speech itself. It is 1 charity to suppose that the spirit of "Old IT urbon" had apothesis in the Vice Prcsi ; dent's chair, Mr. Johns n insulted and i outraged all who stool around hi.n—the ; thief Justice, the Cabinet, the foreign uiinis i ters and the Senate. Most of all he insulted I the people of the United States, and de ! graded the high place where the worthiest in the land have sat. Himself he did not degrade. He fell to his natural level there to remain four mortal years. We will not ana lyze this spech ; we leave it to the judg | ment of our readers, who must redden with shame at the thought that leadership in this land is intrust ;d to such hands as these* j How to Judge the Weather by the Sky.
