wendell PHILLIPs AGAINST WAR.
In a speech at New Bedford. Wednes-
day evening, 10th inst, Wendell Phillips
went in strongly against war and for a
peaceful division of the Union. The CO.
incidence of opinion on these subjects
between the radical secessionists and The
radical abolitionists is remarkable. Mr..
Phillips says:-
" Here are a series Of states girdling
the Gulf, who think that their peculiar
institutions require that they should have
separate government. They have a
right to decide that question without APP
pealiug to you or me. A large body of
people, sufficient to make q nation have
come to the conclusion that they will have
a government of a certain form. Who

AN OFFrR.--Col. Blanchard has offered Capt.
West of the company now forming one hum
dred dollars for his chance in the war; which the
latter refuses. The reason for this offer is that
there is only one regiment called for, and the
Governor has determined to detail men from the
largest and best uniformed regiments. The 3D.
regiment being the smallest leaves the gallant
Colonel 4" out in the cold" Hence his desire to
resign his commission and takc Il less exalted
but more active position. The Colonel will have
to be conten; with his lot and continue TO pre-

The War Fever in Coventry.

The war fever Is raging in Coventry. On last
Tuesday the citizens of that town and few
from Irasburgh and Newport, assembled ct the
village church to devise ways and means to hon
orabIy uphold and defend the flag Of our coun-
try that is now trampled upon by the feet OF
gigantic mob; and to provide for the volunteers
and their families, and see that none Of them
suffer in consequence Of their departure.
Mr.. II. S. Jones was called to the chair, Hon.
r. Cleveland and B. i. Herbert were chosen
vice presidents, and A. A. Earle secretary.
Spirited and patriotic speeches were made by
Col. ID. w. blanchard and Rev. P. II. White,
who urged the people Of Coventry and Of Or
leans county to help maintain the honor onr
state has hitherto ganed by responding with
aIacity to the call Of the country, and TO assist
In the "perous fight" for the honor OF the
"star spangled Banner" and also called upon
those who remained at home to come forward
and subscribe literally for the support Of those
who might need their aid, and to guaranty that
the families Of such volunteers should suffer for
nothing while they were absent Col. Blanchard
said that there were men enough who stood
ready to peril their "lyes, their fortunes, and
their sacred honor" provided the people would
nav what was needed. The remarks Of both
gentlemen were very pointed, patriotic and op-
propriate.
AT tho conclusion of the remarks, the "Star
spangled Banner" was sung by the choir with
much effect.
A call was then made upon those who desired
10 enlist to repair to the town hall, where TWEEN
tv-one-good men and truce nrollcd their
names, pledging themselves to massacre every
traitor they should meet upon the field Of battle
with evidences of treachery in their hands,
There are no towards in that company. They

ions in arms, who are mortified TO know that
they have drilled so long with towards, but glad
to sec them run noao and not disgrace the uniform
Of the company by running in hattie.
Wethink great credit is due to those who have
enrolled themselves, for many have left a good
paying business, interesting families and associ-
ates. at the call of duty Let them forever be
remembered with gratitude, and not be forgot
ton as soon as they are gone as is too often the
reward of the poor soldier.
The following resolution was passed
Resolced, That there be an Executive Com
mittce Of five whose duty it shall be to raise q
fund, termed the Military Fund, which shall be
applied and expended by them for the benefit
Of such persons as may volunteer and their fam
lilies.
Messrs. D. P. Walworth, Ira Boynton, and.B

Revelations of the Census.

An examination of the figures Of the

the term " Southern COME leracy' falls
on our ears with so imposing a sound,
that almost unconsciously we acquire the

States themselves. The census shows

A "SIT1vATIoN."-A correspondent
Of Nashville paper tells a story which
may be possibly untrue, about a person
who was going to Chattanooga on the
railroad When the train entered the
tunnel aud total darkness, said person
asked stranger how long it would be
going through. Stranger was a bit Of a
wag, aud replied, "two hours" Person
thought he would avail himself of the
opportunity to don clean shirt, and
about the time he had "shucked himself
the train dashed out into daylight, expos
ing his person to the gaze Of some hun
dred pair Of male and female eyes be-
longing to passengers. He bad on no
linen, and about as much other clothes
as the Apollo Belvidere-and no chance
to run.

being nearly 100000 less in amount
than that of Pennsylvania alone, and
more than 1921 900 less than the State
of New York.
Another fact which should be con-
sidered in juxtaposiion with the one we
have just stated, for the purpose of more
forcibly illustrating the serious cause Of
complaint which these States have against
the Union is that Of their being entitled
to fourteen Senators and thirty-two Rep
resentatives, TO watch over their interests,
while Pennsylvania has only two Sen
ators and twenty-five Congressman, with
a quarter ola million Of free population ;
and New York, with a population ex-
ceeding that Of the whole Southern Con
federacy by over a million and quarter,
has but two Senators and tbirty-one
Representatives. The proposed loan Of
S15,000,000 will amount, il will be seen,
to the sum Of S5,54 for every free mar,
woman and child in the Coniederacy
and yet this can only be the beginning
of the end" It needs but Ia slight ap-
plication Of arithmetic and common
sense to show thar the experiment now
making by the Gulf States is one which
is too expensive to pay, and too greatly
surcharged with the elements Of decay
