we dsarmed thousand foreign enemies on ''is very

bnrr, ON the head of this offender. How 1t has been
u;,bbed until now lie more than can conceive. The
Denocraev is eaguing itself with treason by giving
aid and comfort to this defamstory pest Bnt blush
N add that there are FIVE other rsorous advocates Of
rebellion in New.JeTsey. Our Trenton organ was de-
nounced by The City Council traitorous nuisance,
and the public patronage taken frem it. lno other
agencies are TO be invoked to abae it, it is probable
another paper viii be established 10 take its place, as
the honest Democracy reject its teachings. The same
spaksh cry for peace policy which is raised by some
of your politicians heard also in various parts OF the
State as election day approaches In Somerset County
some rebels are said to have ordered the Postmaster TO
take down the American flag. In Salem Comfy the
Demo sracy met at low rum-hce, and passed resolu-
tions that the only policy be adopted is TO separate
peaceably aud negotiate treaty of posse and amiy
But norifying as these things are, they harmless
spots on the sum- All this spoken and printed treason
cannot shate our loyalty. We have raised twelve
regiments and if twelve more should be needed they
will he forthcoming. Treason shows self in Trenton
only by suleance, but cannot flourish leTe. We can
not only rcpress but suppress. Many blatant traors

Az many Jerseymen figured at Buh Run, so various
trophies taken from the enemy have been brought
home, curiosites, some on speculation. Among
the later seven horses taken from the slaughtered
Black Horse Troop, found their way into adloiang
counties where they sodat prices that wonld pay
to return and DO the thing over again. Then we have
had queer looking Secession coats, caps and Knives
One fellow brought home three or four tents belonging
to our troops, which had been found empty at Bull
! Run. Thinking them lawful prize, he undertook TO
! sell them but was stopped and made to give nP.
| hear of but one New.Jersey traitor being in the
enemy's ranks, and he was luckily killed-one Arcbi-
bald Oracle of Newark, the came who was kicked out
Of Elzabethtown lat spring for boasting Of bis rebel
sympa!lies. He was killed by squad OF jersey scouts.
The hard tmes are making their mark Oh our news
| pares which are undergoing the shrinking process
| Even the quack doctors can't afford 10 advertise, rs
pills and powders cease sell. Not that people don I
! need physic, but they have no means to buy 10 as
advertising dninishes, the newspapers contract Some
Of our oldest and most aourshing papers have thus
essened their inches. Our paper makers also, com.
plain much. They have made bad debts among the
publishers of books and now have little beside the
| newspaper press To depend Thus the circle Of
dullpess seems 10 embrace every class. At Newark
there is an army contract for l00 600 pairs Of shoes
| snder way, but though making much hurry for the
time, it will afford only four months work The sta
pie manufacturing Of the Sats is standing STILL Nobody
is ilourshing but the farmers.
One of The old links which connect us with past
ace was this mouth broken by the death, in this city,
Of Mrs. Abigail Stafford, the age OF 80. 1t lie strange
how these patrarchs continue to live among u.s. one
knowing of il until he thus hears of their DEATH Mr.
| Stafford was at White Plains when the battle was
fought and thoug only ten years old yetsbe miles
from farm-house to farmhouse, notifying the minute
men 10 ralIy after which she aided in casting bullets by
melting down pewter plates and kept the moulds and
some of the bullets to her dying day, with various
other relics OF much greater value, among which the
flag Of Paul Jones's frigse, the Alliance. But she
came of a heroic family, Her grandfather bad five
Sons aud five s0ns-ina0 IN the battle Of Lexington,
while he himself piloed the Americans to Concord on
the l9th of April There her father was wounded, and
two of her urces were killed. while the former again
wounded at White Plains, died in consequence. Her
| husband James Is. Stafford, lieutenant in the
Navy and seryed gallanty under Paul Jones, and
with him in his terrible battle which ended in the cap
ture of the Scraps. She relative Of Rev.
Henry Smith, the father-n-lsw ofJoln Adams. Thus
gradually disappear from the stage these mementos Of
an iron race
| In speaking Of those among who sympathize with
treason, neglected 10 mention that young son I.
| Bishop Odcnhemer is now REBEL Oh board O rebe
ship in what is fscctiously called the Rebel navy
You wonder how such thing Can be. But this head
| long young fellow, who s Just OF age, though no
arrived at years Of discretion, has younger siste
who married South Carolinian about the time Sum
ter fell. Her husband turned rebel, and her brothe
followed suit. But the brother was not raised here
he had his bringing in Philadelphia dontset bin
down in the catalogue Of New-Jersey traitors. Tin
Bishop his father is very far from sysmpahizing viii
| bis son in aiding rebellion.
