TnE negro, says the New Hampshire
Patriot, is regarded as much better than
a white man, by Gen. Hunter. A letter
from Hilton Head says that while the
white soldiers are mot getting half ra'
TONS" and have only salt horse and
hard.brcad, 1.-the Niger regiment can
draw fresh bread every day from the ba.
kerry" Another letter says no white SOL
dirrS arc so well taken care Of as the ne
gro rcgiment-that the latter are well fed,
we'll clothed and have entirely new tents,
unfit for use, most of which were con-
demned six months ago. The same letter
also says the white soldier receives less
respect than u negro, and he says this
was shown the other day by an officer
high in power, when niger insulted
white, who resented it, and finally gen.
eral melee took place. The officer inter
fcred, and knocked down aud kicked one
of the whites, and had most Of the white
party arrested, while Sambo was allowed
to go scott free, thus encouraging the
niggcr in his insoIence." We learn from
another source that this "officer high in
power" was Gen. Hunter himself. The
Boston Post thinks the country will moi
tolerate this :" and we wish We could see
,sone eEile0cc IN JSVee ~ ..,-..,
but we see none. On the contrary, daily
experience and observation convince us
that nothing better is at present to be ex'
pccted from those who control public
affairs.

STAMPEDE IN MAINE-A correspondent
Of the Boston TrdrcilCr says that when
the cars stopped at Bethel, Maine, station,
on the 9th instant, ah'ut twenty.ion'
able bodied aud intelligent appearing
Young men came aboard en- route for Can
ada, fearing that they might be drafted
for the war At the next depot about
ten more of the same class joined them,
and at Norway about twenty more. We
have no doubt that these men were Re
publicans Of the "Widc Awake" order,
who are vociferously in favor of prose-
cutting the war until slavery is wiped
out" A correspondent of the Boston
Post writes from Pennington, Maine. that
this company was headed by two of the
most radical AbolitioniSts Of Franklin
county. The writer, however, says there
are plenty of good Democrats who will
ill the States quota and ask no aid from
the cowarlly fanatics who, after working
all their lives to destroy the Union, con-
-sistently leave it to be defended 10y others

THE Doc LAw.--The local event of the
day is the registering of dogs in obedience
to the requirement of the State dog law.
Yesterday, Teutonic gentleman, who
has had his eyes opened lately to the
frailties of the Republican party, took his
dog to be registered, when the following
colloquv cnsucd between him and the
township clerk, a wool-dyed Ab"litioniSt
al wants to gitmy tog in der rcchister,
said Mynheer.
"What is the name Of your dog?'
asked the clerk.
"Abe Lincoln is ter name"
Abe Lincoln! won't register dog
by that name
"You can 60 to hi, den," said the
Tcuton. al calls my dog vat blense
and as dish tam dog law is one Of te goot
tings we get nit ter Republicans, | calls
my dog Abe Lincoln
Much against his will, the township
clerk registered Abe Lincoln" and sent
him forth with collar "n his neck, with
license to live yenr if he should he
have himself and keep from getting mad

The USE AND ABUSE OF IrALIc LETTER

The USE AND ABUSE OF ITALIc LETTERS.
In good prose. (says Frederick Schlegel)
every word shonld be underlined. That
is, every word should be the right word |;
and then no word would be nearer right
than another. There were no Italics in
Plato. What! asks HoloTerneS, did Plato
print his books all in Roman? In men,
tioning Plato, | mentioned him whose
style seems to be the summit Of projection.
But if it be objected that the purpose of
Italics is to give force to style, which Pla-
to, from the character of his subjects, was
not solicitous about, would reply, that
there are no Italics in Demosthenes. Nor
are there in any of the Greek or Roman
writer's, though some Of them were adopts
in the art of putting as much meaning in
to words as words are well fitted to ear.
Among the odd combinations which
chance is ever and anon turning up, few
are more whimsical than the notion that
ono is to gain strength by substituting
italics for Roman.

TIE DIFFERENCE Between PARTIES
The difference between the Republican
and Democratic party on vital question
is, that the Republican party is opposed
to the rebellion of secession, while the
Democratic party is opposed to the re-
bclliun of abolitionlSm, and seceSsipnlSm,
and to all other issues which aim to sub
vert aud nuIlify the Constitution. Let
this important fact be borne in mind in
all discussions between Democrats and
others. The Democratic party is loyal to
the Constitution, and will defend it from
every assailant; the Republican party
will defend it only from the assaults of
one class of its enemies. The Demo
cratic party respects and conforms to all
the restraints and obligations Of the Con-
stitution; the Republican party conforms
to and will respect only such of It's re.
straints and obligations as it is its will and
interest to respect. These are the dis
tinsuishing characteristic traits of these
two parties one respecting the Constitu-
ton as the supreme law, the other obey
ing in preference party platform or the
opinion Of single individual as the high
or law.-Ama1or Dispatch.

these strange names, we read over and
forget
Wounded and killed! Some eye
reads the name to whom it is dear as life,
and some heart is struck or broken with
the blow made by the name among the

1t is our Henry, or our Thomas that

hospital, or white, still, and CHASTITY face
on the battle field. Alas! for the eyes

excuse and apology for the rascalitics
committed by his understrappers, and the
greater the thief is, the more spirited is
the Presidential interference. Witness
the devotion of his Excellency to the in
terests Of Simon Cameron. When that
distinguished despot was arrested at the
instance of Pierce Butler, for false i'm
prisonment, and there was probability
that Simon would suffer, it was enough
in the eyes Of the law for Abraham to as

ner goes free.
No ordinary man would have dared to
share the uotoriety Of the financial ax-
ploifs of Simon Cameron. The whole
country was shocked and amazed at his
regulations and frauds, which were Of
such gigantic proportions as to call forth
even from Republican House of Repre-
sentatives a resolution of censure. Abra-
ham Lincoln dares to share the fame of
Simon Cameron. In his late special mes
sage, he by insinuation rebukes Congress
for it's censure, saying in substance -

ONE year ago, says the New Hampshire
Patriot, just before the battle of Bull
Run, large rebel army under General
johnson was in the Valley of the Shcnan-
doah, and General Patterson was in COM
mand of an inferior force on the Upper
/ Patomac. johnson had direct railroad
communication with Manassas, and took
his army there in season to save the rebels
! from defeat at Bull Run. Genera Pattcr-
son was thereupon denounced as a traitor
by the whole Republican press, for not
preventing JohnSon's retreat. Just be-
fore the recent battles in front of Rich
mond, General jackson was in the same
Valley, and Fremont and Mcdowell had
two large armies, each superior to his, to
oppose him. But Jackson took his army
to Richmond to aid the rebels in their
desperate attacks upon our forces there,
and Fremont and Mcdowell made no
movement to prevent it. Why are not
these officers subjected to the same cen
sure that was so freely bestowed npon
Gen. Patterson. Paitrrson'S force was
inferior to Johnson'S, but Frrmont's and
McDowcll'S were at least double those Of
Jackson. If Patterson was in fault for
not sto; ping JohnSon'S retreat at ManaS-
sas, then Fremont and Mcdowell were
far more ccnSurable for allowing Jackson
to join his army to that at Richmond.
Yet we hear not word Of ccnsure upon
these officers. And why? Simply be-
cause they are Republicans, while Pattcr-
son is Democrat. That explains the
whole matter.

RULES GOVERNING TRAVEL.

If forei subject desires to leave the
country, he must obtain passport from
the Consul of the country to which he
owes allegiance. This passport must be
vised at the police headquarters before
the bearer can leave the country.
Citizens liable to draft desiring to &c to
California, Canada, Europe, or any other
part of the world, must get passports
from Secretary Seward. These can be
procured by any passport agent, the most
cnterprising of whom will doubtless ad-
vertiSe the locality of their Offices.
Citizens not liable to draft desiring to
leave the country, can obtain passports
from Superintendent Kennedy or United
States Marshal Murray. The latter gen.
tleman has charge of those who are to go
in the first and second cabin.
All loyal citizens intending to travel
from one loyal State to another without
to avoid the draft, can do so
without impeachment. There is no inten-
ton to interfere with local travel.
