DJ- We are not in the habit of noticing
the typographical or ,ther mistakes, that
we happen to discover in the columns of
our exchanges. From the haste in which
newspapers are generally prepared for the
press, mistakes are unavoi liable. But as our
neighbors of the AUeghdnian have not imi-
tated our example in this matter. we take
the liberty of calling their attention to a
very ridiculous tlunder they were guilty OF
last week In local article with regard
to the County Commissioners. they gravely
inform their readers, that 1.-THE Board is at
present composed of DIR. d. 7. Storm, Jas
Conrad ard Peter J. Little" Now, they
ought to, and we presume DO know, that
the place they have thus so unceremOniously
assingned to James Conrad, is very ably
filled by Col. James Cooper, of Johustown
This ridiculous and almost inexcusable blum
der should convince them, tha: as thSy live
in glass houses they should not throw
stones.

Simon Cameron.

This willy and unscrupulous demagogue
is playing, or at least endeavoring to plav,
4 very sharp game just at the present time.
After procuring the removal and disgrace of
Gen. Fremont, he is enGeavoring to steal his
thunder. Having got the Pathfinder" out
Of the road, he is trying to take his place as
the leader of the ultra or Emancipation wing
of the Republican party. By this course
he expects to make his calling and election
sure to the Presidency in 1864. A part of
his Report to Congress was so ultra,s so em>
phatically Abolition in tone and sentiment.
that Lincoln compelled him to suppress it.
1t somehow or other got into the hands of
the editors Of the New York Tribune, who
gave it to the world. The doctrines it sets
forth, are emphatically worthy of a John
Brown or Joshua Giddings, but must ex-
cite the unqualified condemnation of every
true patriot and friend of humanity in the
land. The ultras we fear have decided
majority in the present Congress, and that
the conservatives will not have even re-
spectful hearing. Even Lincoln is too con-
servative for the majority. and he seems to
have lost their confidence entirely. Nothing
but The arming Of tie slaves will satisfy
them, and this at present Mr.. Lincoln is not
disposed to sanction. Heaven grant him
the virtue of perseverance in the right course

Mr.. Barker undoubtedly possesses the

The Mess age

On our outside this week, we publish the
Message of President Lincoln to Congress.
Our readers can peruse it ani judge of its
merits for themselves. In our opinion ,blevity
is its only merit, alth ough 1t is but just to
say, that it is by no means an Abolition
document. The entire newspaper press OF
the Abolition party, repudiate it as e,
fat and Improbable. The perusal Pf 1t
has confirmed us in an opinion we have
long entertained of the PreSident-tht he
is weak and timid, but not a bad man,
and that if lef: to himself he would do
nothing to aid in carrying ont the emanci-
patton scheme of the leaders of the party
which el ected him. But he is too timid to
dissolve partnership with them altogether,
and take high and national grounds in the
present fearful crisis, by arraying himself
on the side of the Union and the Constitu-
ton. He should have wisdom enough to
know, that he cannot secure for himself the
reputation of being either a fearless patriot
or an able statesman, by continuing 10

liant charge of a whole Russian division at
BaIaklava by Lord Cardigan. at the head of
six hundred dragons. But that charge
was an utterly impoient one. and proved q
mere reckless display of daring. Our six
hundred AlabamiaBs not only charged a
whole division of the enemy, but routed
and defeated it, killing great numbers of
the enemy. and contributing largely to the
marked defeat of the grand armv. The dust
and delay of the enemy's movements, pro-
duced BY this resistance of the Alabamians,
had most important influence on the bat
tie. 1t gave our generals an opportunity of
marching up their reserves from Manassas;
1t postponed the fnal struggle until FL
zey's column could march up from the
Manassas Gap road, and it was, indeed,
the turning point of the battle. All
honor and glOrv. then, to the 4ih Alabama
the heroes of Manassas Let the name of
their gallant Colonel be forever enshrined in
the memories and hearts of our people Let
his name be written high on the roll of our
Southern heroes and martyrs! Throughout
the terrible conflict, his bearing was that of a
prciI eheUqlier in the days of kuightly Prov
ess and devotion Sir Phillip Sidney would
not have borne himself with more knight
~ grace and galiantry. Mounted on a
powerful charger, himself of lofty and stall
wart form, he sat in his saddle a couspicu-
Gus target for the enemy's long range guns,
confronting the countless host of the enemy,
and directing the movements of his men as
calmly as if on parade. Finally his noble
charger received his N wound-when,
disengagiug himself from his body, he con-
tinued to rally and direct his men on foot.
Badly wounded himself, he refused to be borne
from the field until second wound par
alyz"d his limbs, and his men then enfolding
him the banner of the regiment carried him
off the field. Such was the hernism and de-
vOtion which have won Immortality for the
name of Egbert J. JOnes.-N o. Delta.
