they have helped to defend against a for
eign foe, with honor to themselves and
their country. To remove the cause of
the war wemust undo what we have done
by getting rid of this sectional feeling,
knowing no distinction between North and
and South, feeling like interested in the
prosperity of all the States of the Union,
allowing each State to regulate its own
affairs without interference from other
States, as we claim that right ourselves.
When we send men TO Congress that
feel an interest in the welfare of the
whole country, having no i'll feeling
against any section of the country, but
willing to work for the benefit of any Sec
ton, when it will not interfere with the
interest of other sections-when we arc
willing TO mind our own business, and let
the affairs Of others alone, then We may
become q united people again, in name
and 10 fact.
There is set of men in this country,
and we may as well name them, aboli-
tioniStS, who are so constituted that it is
impossible TO live without meddling with
that which does not belong to them. We
would say to such men, leave your eoun-
try for your countrys good And il
any of you sacrifice anything in doing So
it will be appreciated by n grateful people

WAR NEWS.

The pretense so long and impatiently
looked for by England, to commence n
war with the American government, is
found at last in the capture of Mason and
Slidell. Up to going TO press the Eng
lish papers are for fight, denouncing the
act in the strongest terms, demanding the
restoration of the commissioners, and full
reparation from our government. The
London Chronicle compliments the Pres
ident, Mr.. Seward and our army in this
language: "Abraham Lincoln, whose ac-
cession to power was generally welcomed
on this side of the Atlantic, has proved
himself feeble, confused and little-mind-
ed mediocrity; Mr.. Seward, the ire-brand
at his elbow, is exerting himself to pro-
woke quarrel with all Europe in that
spirit of senseless egotism which induce
the Americans with their dwarf fleet and
shapcless mass of incohercnt squads, which
they call an army, to fancy themselves
the equals of France by land, and Of
Great Britain by sea-" But we have not
seen anything official from the government,
and we earnestly hope that patience and
forbearance will be exercised until both
nations shall have an opportunity TO ar
que the knotty points Of international law.
1t has many crooked points these times.

The Proper Vindication of our Laws
and Constitution.

The Proper Vindication of our Laws
and Constitution.
We were pleased to see that Congress
did not, at its extra session, pass tho
embarrassing resolutions, which were de-
signed TO relieve tho President and his
subordinates from all further responsible
ty for their unlawful acts, and that the
subject has very properly been left in ST.
lence.
Arrests have lately been made in this
State, wc understand, by virtue, proba-
bly,, of Secretary Stewards lettres de
cachet.
BY the arbitrary aud unlawful act
Of Secretary CAMERON, the regimental
suffers of General SHERMAN's Division,
among them two of our worthy fellow
citizens, of Grand Rapids, have been ut
terly ruined with rs much GOODNESS and
unconcern as worm would be crushed.
The property and liberty of our citi-
zens have been violated, and the guaran,
tees of our constitution have been disre-
garded by our Executive.
What shall be done? Are we to be
robbed of the safeguards of the very con-
stitution we are spending our best blood
and treasure to defend?
BY no means. If Congress will leave
thc.subject where it belongs, every person
who has just cause can hereafter seek and
find his proper remedy in the courts.
The President is just as amenable tc
the laws Of our country as the humblest
citizen, and his Secretaries are just as LA
bic to an action for false imprisonment as
the merest Dogsberry in the land. An
action for damages can be brought by eve
ry one of the aggrieved suffers against
the person whose unlawful act caused
their ruin, even though it be the Secreta-
ry of War himself. If, upon fair trial,
the officials in question can show suffi-
cient reasons for their acts, that they were
performed in good faith for the defence Of
the land, the nation will at once assume
the responsibility, and relieve its executive
officers. But in case they are proved in
court to have been unjustifable, the
courts should, and we trust will, punish
high official law breakers, as they would
any other class Of aggressors upon the
rights of our citizens.
Such being, in our view, the state Of
the case, it seems to us that every injured
man can afford to wait patiently till the
proper time comes for him to claim in the
courts such vindication of his character,
and such restitution for the damages he
has sustained as a fair trial by jury of
his peers shall give him.
So long as tho responsibility of the
executive to the laws is recognized by
our courts, cur President and his Secre-
taries violate law at their peril, and JUS
tice, though it may long delay, will reach
them at last
Meanwhile, it is tho duty of the suffer
ers, at present, TO submit patiently to
their wrongs, while our government has
passed through the struggle with the re-
bellon. We have no doubt that restitu-
ton will be voluntarily made, in many of
these cases, when they can be properly
examined and considered, but in the
knowledge that it must be made, if de-
mandcd by justice, every injured party
can we'll afford TO wait, silently, till the
proper time comes for him TO demand re-
dress in lawful manner. p.

CORTLAND, Dec. 6.

CORTLAND, Dec. o.
Major McNett, who has been under ar
rest several days, was shot to-day, about
one o'clock, by Col. Green, in an attempt
10 escape from the guard house. He is
not yet dead, but il is not probable he can
live. No one is allowed on the ground.
The officers will not tell anything about
il. We can not say whether he was shot
when going out Of the guard house or af-
terward. 1t is believed the principal
cause for the arrest was that McNett had
been TO Albany and preferred charges
against Colonel Green.
Major McNETT, the subject Of the
above paragraph, is brother of Dr. j. b.
McNErT, of this village. He represent
cd the district of Buffalo in the Legisla-
ture of New York, Of which ho was q
prominent and influential member. The
unexpected, affective announcement TO his

MINT STATIs1Ics.-Th Alta presents Ia
bles which show that the amount of gold
worked at the San Francisco Mint, from
April Oath, 1857, to Dec. 31st, 1860. was
5,59l, ,3l2 ounces, worth $l04,024,37l o..
The limit of wastage allowed by law on
this amount would be IL, 1872 ounces, worth
$20S,048 II. The amount actually wasted
was only 2l7 ounces, or $4,024 IL; show
ing difference in favor of the Government
effected by the honesty of Superintendent
Hampstead, of S2O4, ,O24 so. The number
of ounces coined in the same period-four
years, was 6,S49, ,3l5, worth S127, ,439.l2 Is.
The limit Of wastage on this would be TO-
272 ounces, or $l4l. .l43 68; and the actual
wastage was only ZIG ounces. or 1896 "a;
showing difference Of $l3l .l09 A. From
the above statement it will be seen that the
wastage of the Mint has been less than tive
per cent. of the amount allowed By law TO
be wasted in working the above amount of
bullion. The wastage at the Mint Ia Pbila-
delphia, from lS49 TO 1856. was IL per cent.
Of the amount legally allowed. By bis cor

CAyE-LUoKY EsCAPE.--The Dutch Flat
Enquirer, of May LIST, chronicles the follow
ing:
About IL O'Clock on Saturday night last,
while Messrs. Staples IL Downds. were at
work hydraulicing in the Summerset claim,
large portion of the bank, being about
l70 feet high, oaved 10, catching Staples in
its descent, and forcing Downds about two
hundred feet or more down the sluice box
es. The bank of dirt came down with such
force as TO cut off the water from the upper
portion of the claim ; carrying with ita tree
about eighty feet long and five in diameter
TO near the center of the claim. The tree
passed within about four feet of Mr.. Staples
when he was covered With dirt the end of
the tree in passing the pipe held by Staples,
drove portion of itself into the nozzle,
while another limb caught the hose and
broke it, leaving the upper portion of the
hose playing directly upon him, aud which
materially aided him in bis escape from the
critical situation. After getting free, Mr..
Staples Immediately commenced search for
his partner, who he found had been washed
over the falls. Neither of the persons sus-
tanned any serious injuries, Staples having
his back slightly strained, aud his partner
receiving a few bruises which will confne
him indoors but short time. Ii was one
of the most miraculous escapes we have ev-
er known were the same cave to happen
again hundred times over it is highly
probable both men would lose their lives.
