The Courts have decided tho following
points:
I. Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary. are considered as
wishing to continue their subscriptions.
g. II subscribers order the disconsnu
ance OF their papers, the publisher may
continue to send the paper till all that is
due is paid.
g. II subscribers refuse or neglect to
take their papers from the office to which
they are directed. they are held RESPONSE
bic till they have settled their bill and or
dered their papers discontinued.
4. If subscribers move to other places
without informing the publisher. and the
paper is sent to the former direction, they
arc held responsible.
5. Refusing to take paper from the
office. or removing and leaving it uncall-
ed for, is prima facia evidence Of in,en.
tional fraud.
6. A Postmaster neglecting to inform
the publisher when paper is not taken
from the office makes himself liable fol
the subscription price.

certain States have been recently over
turned and subverted as members Of the
Federal Union upon which the call is

The great Democratic party, true to all its
traditions. is now the chief pillar Of the
Union. Its members and organs are the
only reliable support which the Presidsn,
and General Mcclellan have in the con-
due. Of the war. Let the support be
taken away, and the war cannot be carried

They point to the Constitution AZ the au

to the bond as it was made by the
fathers Of the Republic. They simply
insist that the struggle shall not be made
political. Have they not a right to do
this? Is it not their duty 10 do thin?
We sincerely regret the factious spirir
which causes the class Of papers referred

We copy the following from the Lsf.y
ette Journal, Republican paper. 1t is
evidence that all the brutes are not in the
South:
ANY citizen who might have slrolled
out yesterday in the neighborhood Of the
graveyard would have witnessed no,
very creditable scene. A squad OF pris-
or ers had been sent up in charge Of FIVE
soldiers. Tor the purpose of digging grave
for two rebels who had died on Saturday
night. The soldiers obtained liquor from
some source, and several Of them were ev.
iden:ly intoxicated. Their conduct. as
represented by citizens who saw it. was
most disgraceful. Profanity. uproarious
singing. and the most abusive language to
the prisoners, occupied the four or five
hours during which the grave WAS being
dug. Several citizens. who happened to
be present, demonstrated a, such unbe.
coming conduct in cemetery on the
Sabbath, but without other effect than re-
newed drinking. more obscene songs and
louder eaths.
Two Of the prisoners who were employ
ed in digging the grave. were evidently in
feeble health and attempted several times
to rest. They were driven to their task
a gain with loud oaths and threats. that il
they did rot work faster. they. the drunk
en- guard. would shovel The earth in on
them in the grave intended for their mo:e
fortunate companions. About 4 o'clock
another guard arrived with the bodies of
the dead prisoners. They were lowered
into the grave, the earth shovsled over
them and the guard and prisoners depart
cd. the last amed guard returning 10 she
barracks by the way of the railroad. and
refusing to allow the drunken fellows
who superintended the grave digging to
accompany them, SO outrageous and
shameful was their conduct, oven up TO
the moment Of burial.
A gentleman who Witnessed the whole
affair. and whose word cannot b, doubted.
describes it as the most brutal and shock
ing thing he ever heard Of. No minister
accompanied the bodies to the grave.
That practice has been discontinued. In
this instance it was probably well enough.
If all this had happened a, Richmoud,
and loyal soldiers had been the victims oi
such barbarisy. how Indignantly and vio-
lently we would have denounced it rs the
Legitimate result Of the pernicious institu
ton. LIT Us hear no more. for little sea-
