MISERABLE CoNDUcr.-The "4ryus,"
published at Lewisburg, takes advantage
Of every opportunity to display its mser-
able partizln spirit, by rarading the names
of patriotic Democrats who have volun-
teered for the war, to make party capital
out of it. The editor should volunteer
himself before he brags about the courage
and patriotism of others, as his conduct
shows that be not only lacks the article
himself, but is working very iudustriously
to show himself an egregious ass.--Eilto-

whlIr the Government is putting down

blow to slavery that it will lose its former
