PARoLE.-The Parole of Honor, which is
sought 10 be made binding by an oath of al
legiance, is becoming more and more ridicu-
lous every day. The idea of administering
one oath to set of men who have lready vio-
lated another strikes us as bad policy. The
traitors who taken prisoners while in the
act of assault on the troops of the government
will be willing to accept any terms to be re-
leased. An oath is of no consequence to them.
II JEFF. Davis was in the hands of General
Scott to-day, he would pawn his soul to be re-
leased tomorrow. He would swear any oath
to be permitted to 60 free on his parole OF
honor. What would such perjury be to the
perjury that has already sealed his soul for an
awful punishment! Nothing. nero nothing,
when weighed in the balance with his other
crimes. We trust, then, that the farce of ad-
mnisterng oaths of allegiance, and setting
men up as good and loyal citizens who are ar
rested in armed hostility against the govern
ment, will stop. 1t is mockery in the sight
of God and man. If we have not the courage
to punish these traitors as the law provides,
let not assume the audacity of nventing
perjured excuses for their crimes, by giving
them daily evidences of our weakness and
credulity. The policy of '.Death to Traitors"
alone will restore peace to the country.

GEN. CAMERoN.-There is truth in the fol-
lowing paragraphs from the MeadUiHe Journal ::
"a number of our exchanges, the Pittsburg
Dispatch among the rest. who were so desper-
ateIy opposed to the appointment of the Hon.
Simon Cameron TO place in President Lin
coins Cabinet, are now gracefully making the
ameude honorable by retracting their remarks
derogatory to the ability and integrity of this
great statesman, and are now giving him the
praise and commendation which his patriotic
zeal, efficiency and skill IN the administration
of his high and responsible position, undenia-
bly, merit. Never had Pennsylvania so much
cause to be proud OF her s'favorite son."
Standing as he does at the head of the most
important department IN the Government,
with duties OF the most difficult, onerous and
momentous, constantly pressing upon him, he
discharges the high functions of his office with
promptness and noble devotion to his country
unsurpassed in the civil annals of the Union.
Throughout his long and eventful career, Gen.
Cameron has ever manifested his earnest love
for his State and Nation, but never since he
entered public lite has his position been such
as to so fully display his sterling patriotism
and unwavering faithfulness. His self-sacri-
fcing labor and prompt and decisive action in
this perilous hour will not soon be forgotten
by grateful country.

THE DUTCH REFORMED CHURcH-The Gen
cral Synod OF the Reformed Protestant Dutch
Church of n forth America concluded their bu-
sinesS on the 18th. The report of the Com
mittee on the subject of our national troubles
was presented. 1t expressed sentiments in
support Of the Government of the United
States in its present struggle with rebellion.
The Rev. Thomas G. Strong introduced a pre-
smble Questioning the legality of introducing
tine resolutions in the synod, on account Of
their nSa-ecclesiastical character, and a mo-
tion TO lay them on the table, and indefinitely
postpone the discussion Of the whole subject,
brought Ont very heated debate. The
speeches weyc short, numerous, and spicy.
The motion to postpone indefinitely was lost
ay vote of 81 Yeas to IL Nays, and the ori-
ginal aotion was adopted by an overwhelming
majority. Thas the Reformed Dutch Church
mas registered its testimony of loyalty to the
Government. 1t was about the last of the
great religious bodies to act upon the ques-
tlon, but not less important than any of the
others, even although it has no churches south
oi Pennsylvania.

TBY REQUEST. IA Boston exchange gives
the following summary of the doctrines of the
AdventistS
81. That man is mortal, soul and body.
>. That the dead are wholly unconscious, con-
Sequently are neither happy nor in misery.
. That if there is not to be in the future
literal resurrection Of the dead, there can be
no future lite TOR them that have died. 4. The
rewards and punishments promised in the BIZ
bic are not TO be given until the second advent
of Christ. s. Modern spiritual manifestations
not the work of departed human spirits
bnt are produced by another order of beings
called in the Bible demons, whose object is
to ruin all those that believe them. 6. Christ
soon to make his literal glorious advent to
this world, to save all those that obey him. 7.
That the earth is to be purified by fire, restored
TO its original pure condition; and it will then
become the eternal home of all the people OF
God. s. The wicked will not all be saved,
neither will they suffer eternal torments; but
they will be punished with everlasting de-
struction;' in other words, they will be put
out of existence, as unworthy to live and pol
lutte the universe of God. 8. The Bible is the
only standard of religious belief, and must be
understood in its most literal and natural
signiicatIon."

Cart j. OSCAR LoRAINE.-On Monday Of
last week, Capt. Hugh Mcdonald of the Elk
Rifles, made iniormation before Alderman
Kline of Harrisburg, against Capt. Lorraine Of
the Clearfield Washington Cadets, for the ut
terancc of reasonable language, to the effect
that he sswould never pull trigger against the
South" The information thus made in wri-
ting. and sworn to by Capt. Mcdonald, was ta-
ken by him for the purpose, as he stated, of
submitting it to Governor Curtin. No war
rant has been issued, and consequently
rest made, reported by some of the
newspapers. Thus the matter rests, and un-
less Capt. Mcdonald pushes it to speedy and
full investigation, he will be subject to severe
cenSure.
