The 0ueon's Proclamation.


The Queens proclamation, nov that VIC have
it in full, proves to be a caution, cold-bloodcd,
double faced document-a disgrace 10 the SOW
crcign of country which jus tly makes con
stitutional liberty its boast! Timidity teqFs
out Of every sentence. Ministers have made
her majesty seem only soieitcns rot to offend
those highly respectable eotton-raising, slave
breeding gen lrucnt who style themselves
citizens Of the Confederate States. The wri7
Ter seems TO have weighed his words by
drachmS and scrupes, lest there should be u
breaffs weight OF sympathy manifest upon
the side of law and constitutional hBerty:=-
The men who have undertaken, by thg, +,iIest
treachery that history records, TO Ereak UP
the most beners Cent Government ever FORMED
and who have done this for the sole avowed
purpose of propagating Slavery and. who
maintain their Gscendancy undisputed in their
own States only by fear and tle violent sdps
preston Of tTfitht are placed upon exactly tie
same footing as the members Of that Govern
tnent under which this county has in three
Quarters of d century risen TO the first rank
among the nations. This IN rot neutrality
1t is bit rrseraEHe sham a politicians
counterfeit, too f1imsy TO deceive the least
prcCIircd eye This according to the rebels
all the fight Of 1elikstents; ibis fastening to
givc them every recognition, is giving them
countcnance which, coming from power like
Great British; is both mid and comfort: The
proclamation recognizes their right even to
establish a blockade cqaallY with the Govern
ment of the United States 5artF for that mat ttet,
even with Great Britain herself The warn
ing not to enlist is a matter Of course. The
declaration that our blockade will be respect
ed, if legal and actual, is supervisors almost
TO imper tincnce. That is matter which we
should in any case look after ourselves, and
cause to be respected by all other powers,
Great Britain included, who, do not desire to
go to war with us. Could the gentlemen who
accompanied the Prince Of Wales, in his tri-
umphal progress through the North but few
months ago have been consulted, we are will
ling to heli,Te that this proclamation would
have bteathed less timd, selfish tone. 1t
will cost our brothers who live in the old
home cross the water more than honorable
folks can well afford to pay to make us for
givc-we can never forget-this faithessness
to all the sympathies and sentiments that we
had fondly thought to be our common herit-
age.

Conditions Hxacted.

The luxury of entering the Southern Con
federacy is not one to be enjoyed without re-
serve. If we are to believe the Memphis A v
alanche, those who aspire TO become members
of that "Happy Family" must earn the dis
tinction by works. For instance, that out
spoken print is fearful lest Tennessee should
be black balled by reason of her too great toll
Grafton of those public scourges, the Union
men! Hear it:
"EraERIDGE AND Tennessee will
nercr be permitted TO enter the Southern Con-
fedsraey until she hdngs this precious brace OF
traitors. The scalps Of Ethcridge and John
son must be hung Up in the SottherA riglram.
In several States, the scalp ofa wolf commands
n premium, and If these ttc0 miserable outeastS
place any value upon their own heads, we think
it might be wise in them to fee to the = Aiouu-
tains of Hepsidam." Farmers sometimes
hang, upon a long pole, dead crow as a warn
ing to others; and the skin Of Emmsrson n'ld
the ugly cranium Of Indy must hang high
up IN the CaP:t4l at Montgomery" t
Reeolleet this brutal language is addressed'
not to sNorthern Yankees upon whom the
vocabulary of abuse has been long since ex-
hausled, but 10 Southern men, whose only
offence consists in uphoding the Union which
our Fathers built. These gentlrmen do not
Ell joy the distinction even of regarding Slavery
as 'social evil" but on the contrary. look
upon the Northern masses az no better than
they should be. And yet, because they will
not join the Rebel pack, and assist i'll the work
of breaking up the Government, they are de-
bounced az TRAITORS" and threaten d with
death. The "barbarism of slavery" acquires
a fearful vividness of Illustration in the con-
duct of the desperado oes who rale the South.

INFLUENCE OF SMILES.

A smile is indeed thing of beauty
Whether living on the lips of gladstone youth
or Pickering on the dying features Of worn
out age it holds its beauty still. Whether
making loveliness yet more winsome, or rem
ringsugliness less repulsive than its wont,
a smile yet holds its nature, yet it is beautiful.
Magic turks therein, and sways the human
heart as words never can-quickens its quiet
pulse, or soothes and calms the hurried throb
as they may need. And beneath the encour-
aging influence of one sweet, upholding smile
the heart itself may change its moed-may
weld its mad intent, if not cast out forever its
evil promptings and its dark prope nsities.-
And so may the smiles Of derision madden
beyond what the utmost words can do, even
as the smile Of praise will spur humanity to
great and noble deeds beyond the approach
Of all other promPtings. Its silent power
sinks in the heart, and heals some new-nade
thrust, as sweetly and gently as falls the mys-
terious dew from heaven And the smile of
loyel It beams in the mothers eyes as she
sees beauty in her infants face, and silent
laugh of unknown joy from her darling babe.
It plays with stronger and more thrilling
magic on the maiden's lovely countenance, as
her hearts idol meets her far-seeing eye, and
draws near to let her look of love lose none
M its precious value in needless distance be-
tween them. And with deeper, purer joy i
6orses to the wife's glad face when her hus-
aa0dse fond aaze tells her how much is gaint
cd since he 6rst called her wife. Holy, beau
tifuI indeed. is the smile Of fathomless and
perfect love- Too seldom, indeed, does it live
too seldom tighten heavy cares and earthly
sorrows. Too seldom does it have 6irth-too
often does it soon leave Iifes pathway, even if
fairly born and dearly welcomed there.

1--WE seek no conquest, no aggrandizoment,
no concession, from the Free States, all we ask
is to be lei alone."-Jef. DaUis.
This display of cool impudence is unparal
Ielled, and eau be equaled only by the ruffisn
who seizes you by the throat and rifles your
pockets, declaring at the same time that he
seeks "no aSgraudizemet," but only asks to be
let alOne,"
These Southern rebels have thus far shown
theHlselveS the most INSCRIPTIONS defers of
every thing like candor and common honesty
that history has ever made mention of. Not
only have they planned and promulgated their
scheme of rebellion without shadow of rea-
sunable justification, bat in its attempted in
anguration they have ignored all honorable
principles of action. Their proceedings have
thus far been characterized by robber law and
the rufian spirit.
Seek no conquest, no aggrandizen1ent p
Have they not seized the Federal property, at
tackled the National forts, pilaged the arse
nails and treasures, and appropriated to their
own base usss the revenues of the Government?
And are they not now seeking to capture the
Federal Capital, get possession of the Federal
ted officers of the Government? "No con-
quest. no aggrandizement," indeed
Not stopping at defying the Federal laws
and attacking the Federal property, these god
less traitors and rebels have set the example
of the seizure and coufscation of private prop
erty, uuiler circumstances not recognized by
rules of honorable war, for no proclamation of
hostilities preceded the seizure and confscation.
And as the crowniug act ofinjury the persons
in revolt against government and society have
seized and now hold as prisoners citizens of the
United States, and next propose to arm law
less corssirs, and turn thet1 ont upon the high
seas to plunder and kill as only p'rltes do.
These are the men who ask to be ''let alone. y
The hurglaF who enters your dwelling in the
night and plumbers your household, would not
show more refreshing impudence in demanding
as a right that you and the officers Of the law
should "les bin alone,' than do these South
ern conspirators, rebels, pirates and plunderers
in asking the Government Of the United States
to be let them alune.- Chicago Journal.

The bids for supplying cattle on the hoof
for the use of the army, were opened at the
War Department on Thursday. A Washing
toon letter says:
There were about one hundred and fifty bids
put in, but some of them embraced conditions
which rendered it necessary that they should
be rejected, The bids ranged from $500 to
So per one hundred pounds.
The lowest bidder was found to be Mr..
Hugh Maher, of Chicago, Ill., who offered to
furnish whatever was called for at the rstg of
So 90 per hundred, delivered at Harrisburg,
aud 81 SO, delivered at Washington. There
was bid to deliver at Washington at 81 As,
but the average of Maher's bid is lower than
that It is probable that the bulk of the
numbers to be delivered under this letting
will be called for at Harrisburg. Mr.. Maher
is known to be responsible, aud the contract
will, doubtless, be awarded to him. At the
rates offered, it seems to be cheaper to feed
the troops on fresh beef than oa salt.

The Rebels in Distress.

The editor of the Dayton Journal was, a
day or two since, agreeably surprised by the
appearance of an old acquaintance in his
sanctum. This acquaintance is a man of
wealth and intelligence and was on his way
from the South to New York He had sold
out his stock Of goods in one of the princi-
pal Southern cities and escaped on pretense
of buying arms at the North. He gave us u
most deporable account of the want and mis-
cry of The people of the South, and says they
are in constant fear Of an intasi0H from the
North. He says the South is almost dcsti-
tute of money, clothing and provisions The
soldiers have checked shirts, pants and strap
around them, and all they get to cat is bacon.
corn bread and molasses. They afe poorly
armed with old flint lock muskets, and he be-
lieved a general battle would be avoided at
all times with any considerable body of troops.
1t is their intention to carry on regular
guerilla warfare He says great many
troops had gone to Virginia, but there was
only about 500 at Randolph, Memphis and
other points in Missippi and Tennessee. An
attempt was made to blow up their magazine
near Memphis. containing what little powder
they had, by two Dutchmen, but the Dutch
men were upprehended and would be buug-
He says that ammunition and arms are very
scarce in Mississippi and Tennessee.
Ten days ago, at Jacksonville, Miss, bacon
was scarce at l 5 cents per pound, and -four
at $3.50 per barrel.
