That "Last Drop.''

The Memphis Avalancle of the 18th
inst. makes this very notable confession,
which is not inappicable to some blus-
tering skin-aint rebels in this city.
No one act, such as the one of refusal
to accredit the Government and receive
freely Confederate notes, has ever been
more generally condemned or censured.
The act committed only by Union men,
would have been charged not only to
disloyalty, but it would have been de-
n0unoed and stigmatized as HIGH TREA-
SON
But, so far as we have heard particu-
lar names mentioned in this connection,
they have been individuals who were
first and foremost to involve the country
in the revolution; they were those who
resolved to proclaim that they would
spend their "last dime" and "spill their
last drop of blood"

behalf Of the United States against certain property,
viz One dark brown Stallion, said 20 be thorough
bred abont 15H hands high, about years old, with

istration, and the imbecillity in office
which has been its natural result, should
have yielded its acquiescence in the pol
icy. Give to the President a standing
army consisting of all male citizens be-
tween the ages Of eighteen and thirty
five, with power 70 call into the field as
many as he pleases, and when and where
he pleases, without saying to the Gov
ernor of State "by your leave" and not
only is the constitution subverted, but
personal liberty is no more. The powe
to declare and enforce martial law, and
imprison citizens indefinitely without
the right of habeas corpus to inquire in
to the cause of detention, IS another sOide
step IN The same direction. A panic pre-
yais in the country, and those in author
ity have but to ask for power on the
ground of military necessity" and the
Oldest and most sacred safeguards of
freedom are yielded without question"
We must retain our 8elf-possesSion, and
oar liberties, too, IN the progress of This ,Oar,
or zoe ,olH look IN vain for d,em at It's close.

themselves, are queer creatures. The

Ignorance the Cause Of Secession
A correspondent remarks that in trav-
elling through a noted rebel district in
Missouri he saw in route of one hum
dred and twenty miles but one half
finished church and not one school house
This keeping the masses in ignorance is a
part of the tactics of the cotton oligarchs
They wish to keep free schools out of the
ceantry, to keep up high rates Of postage
and to make churches few and far be-
tween, so as TO reduce the people to the
same deplorable ignorance that exists in
Great Britain. They copy faithfully the
example of their aristocratic patterns
One of the first deeds of Governor Harris
was to rob the State of the fund of 81
100000 which had been created for the
education of her children. Destroy the
schools and suppress newspapers, and
thus render the people fit to be duped by
corrupt leaders Such is the devilish
scheme of secession.

The ImPressment OF Quakers by the
Rebel Authorities,

From rs Raleigh (N O. Standard, Aprii 26
We insert the following memorial laid
before the State Convention by the yearly
meeting of Friends, on the subject of
bearing arms
at stated Meeting for Suilerings rep
resenting North Carolina yearly meeting
of Friends, held at Deep river, the 14th
of Fourth month, 1862, the subject of our
present sufferings, on account of our con-
scientiOus scruples against bearing arms,
claiming the deliberate consideration of
the meeting, and believing it right TO en-
brace our privilege to petition those in
authority, we therefore adopt the fol-
lowing:
10 The Convention of North Carolina, IN
CoaUe1tion assembled
Your petitioners respectfully show that
it is one of our fundamental religious
principles to bear faithful testimony
against all wars and fghtings, and that
in consequence we cannot aid in carrying
out any carnal war
This is new principle of our society,
but one which was adopted at its rise, as
the doctrine taught by our Saviour and
followed by his disciples for more than
two hundred years, and has ever been
and Is now held as one of our fundament-
al and vital principles, and one hat we
cannot yield or compromise in any de-
gree whatever.
We would further show that the whole
number of our members in the Confede-
rate States is less than 10 thousand, while
in the United States the number probably
exceeds two hundred thousand, who bear
the same testimony against all wars and
iightings; and that in every nation and
cline where our society exists, it is at
this day, as heretofore, maintaining this
precious principle OF peace, and that we
everywhere in this respect speak the same
thing.
We may further show that, according
to the best information we can obtain
until the present time, Friends of North
Carolina have not been called on to aid
in the battle field or military camp; but
now our peaceful principles are in Q
measure disregarded, and many Of ol,
members are drafted to take part 6l tie con-
Btcttng armies, 90hile zoe understand that oul
| WeIHct bt Wo DHtttU DtCbeS are ItOJ.
We have enlisted under the banner o.
the Captain of our souls salvation, Jesus
Christ, the Prince of Peace; therefore, in
obedience to His express command, VIZ
cannot fight, or aid directly or indirectly
in any carnal wars. But your petition,
ers would represent to you that we be.
lieve it TO be our moral and religious duty
to submit to the government under which
we live, and the laws and powers tina
be, or suffer patiently their penalties.
We love our homes and our country
much, but at the same time we love ou
religious principles more; therefore you
petitioners would most respectfully asl
that you grant us the enjoyment Of thi
important religious principle.
! We own no god but the God of love
truth, peace, mercy and judgment who's
blessings we invoke, aud whose wisdom
we implore to be with you in your legis
lQtiUe deliberations.
Signed on behalf and by direction o
the meeting.

A correspondent Of the National In

credit Of having made the proposition
which General Hunter has thus practi-
cally carried out" Mr.. Kendall ad-
dressed a letter to the editors of the Ma
tional Intelligencer, in which he says;
81 should consider myself a traitor TO
my country If ! were to approve, the
late order of Gen. Hunter, purpOrting to
set free all the slaves within his military

essence of military despOtism, utterly
