why Is This,

We are told on excellent authority that
various Government officials in this citv
are hiring slaves from rebel owners, and
paying good wages for them, while there
are hundreds Of white laborers who are
not oHly loyal men, but are in great need
of employment to support themselves and
families. This is certainly all wrong.
II really seems that many Of our officers
prefer patronizing rebels 10 loyal men.
They use all imaginable means, both 10
business and intercourse, to win the favor
Of the rebels, and Of course fail most
signally After months Of close obser-
walton we have not found one rebel who
has abated his treason on account Of "a
vors extended him, They are as malig-
nant, as intolerant and conceit6d as ever
II is wrong to court such persons. 1t IS
the duty of loyal men to aid each other
and especially is il the duty of Federal
officers to set the example TO the people.
Rebels ought not to be allowed to make
their living oGthe government, when there
are thousande oftrue and loyal men suffer
ing for want of employment. Let us all
show the loyal poor how deeply and sin
cerely we feel for them, and rest assured
that should an hour Of trial come they
will all be with us, and give us victory
over our enemies.

The men who are eternally clamOring
about the Constitution and insist that the
Administration should stop its armies 70
argue nice Constitutional points, are the
victims Of a strange infatuation. The
one scruples about paying tithes Of mint
and cummin, but neglect the weighter
matters Of the law, and while they are
quibbling about the Constitution OF the
nation, treason is aiming its dagger afthe
heart Of the nation itself. Now consid-
err, that if we save the Republic and lose
our Constitution even, we can repair the
latter, but if we lose the Republic, that,
and the Constitution, and our liberties
are lost forever.

Pestiience Dreaded ian nIchmona.
That pestilence is dreaded az Rich

from the following extract:
The health Of the city we fear will
suffer IL some means are not employed "a
neutralize the unhealthful eject which
somany hospitals in the city and their
surroundings must IA >turally produce.
The spreading broadcast around the hos
pitfalls and 10 the cutters of such disin-
fcctants as lime, potash and plaster of
paris would 80 a grcata way 20 relieve as
OF even the apprehension of an epidemic.
We believe large quantities Of lime are
available for such purposes, The early

a pesticnce more deadly than the bullets
Of the Yankees"

Neg.o Agltators.

The Conservatives are the most peril
nacious persons in the world in forcing
people to discuss the everlasting negro
question. They refuse the nation any
rest whatever from the eternal monotony
of the song Of slavery. They raise the cry
of negro! negro continually. If tax be
proposed they fear that it will be unjust
ly burdening slave property. If an ex-
petition is to be made, they fear some-
bOdy's slave will be run Off If rebel
is arrested they fear that his negroes will
become demoralizcd and dangerous with
out their master, If a black pilot should
run off a rebel vessel, they dread receiv-
ing him, lest it should encourage runa-
way negroes. If a free school be opened
in North Carolina, they are alarmed lest
the negroes should learn mischief If a
rebels negroes be found raising corn for
the rebel army they are opposed to taking
them for fear Of disturbing the "guaran-
tees of the Constitution" If a loyal
man says that he would see slavery per-
ish 70 save the Union, they tell you that
such sentiments will incite negroes TO in
surreciicn. If solitary measure of peace
or war can be proposed which your con-
seryatism will not connect in some way
or other with the negro question, we do
not know what il can be The most
absurd thing in the whole matter is that
those same Radical Conservatives, whose
very "breath is agitation, and who would
become extinctif slavery were destroyed
are forever complaining that other people
will talk Of slavery These men who
agitate from morning til night, reproach
others for agitating We tell these gem
temcn very positively that we cannot
and will not allow them to enjoy a mo-
nopoly Of this agitation. If you are for
the Union and against the discussion Of
slavery, then help us save the Union, and
let slavery take care Of itself amid the
fortunes Of war. II its violence and vi
cissitudes destroy it, let it be destroyed /;
if otherwise, then very well but we eau
not stop the work Of crushing out tho
rebellion TO read DRED Scorr decisions
or Missouri compromises or CmrrENDEN
resolutions. We mean to kill out the re-
bellion. We mean TO destroy all the
agencies used TO promote and sustain
the rebellion, and we don't intend to
stop one moment TO consider whether any
body's negro runs or on account of what
we do. II is useless for conservatives to
keep up this cry Of slavery. Everybody
now understands it, as stale trick
which means anything or nothing. Our
hrm belief is that loyal mon have some
thing more important to attend to at
present than to bother themselves about
the security Of a rebels negroes

Mr. w b, HoRNBEcK, Of the firm Of

called on Us yesterday and gave as tbe
particulars Of the robbery Of his store
by some marauders on Wednesday last.
About twenty-five guerrillas, under
Captain BOND, called at his house and or
derod him to follow them They then
went to his store and helped themselves
TO $500 worth Of ,oods, and horse worth
$500. Some few Of the lower class Of
citizens seemed TO encourage them in
their rascally work, but the better class
Of the citizens demonstrated, though in
electually with the guerrillas, who or
dered them to mind their business. AT
the request Of these citizens Mr. HoRN-
BECK was handed over TO a Lieutenant Of
FOnnEsr's command who treated him
kindly, and paroled him, on condition
that he would not take up arms against
the Coniederacy. BoND's men told him
they were the persons who shot several
pickets on the Lebanon Pike, some ten

The louisville journal saws:

a rebel organ at Richmond earnestly
insists that the Federal prisoners shall
De pareelled out among the plantations
TO work In the place Of niggers
We have seen similar suggestions in
several rebel newspapers. We have not
the least doubt that if every Federal
prisoner were stripped TO Che waist and
set to work under the lash of an over
seer there would still be newspapers in
the loyal States which would protest
against the unconstitutionality Of sciz-
ing rebel slaves and appropriating them
to the service of the Federal Government.

w.hnl va..el say. OF .rral.or.

A traitor has been 10 all ages the most
infamous of men. His crime is esteemed
in baseness and the exhibition of de-
tcstable nature moro heinous than muir
der. Here is what a great authority on
the law of nations says Of him: "If
every man is obliged to entertain a sim
cere love for his country, and TO procure
it all the happiness in his power, u is a
shameless anil deiestqJle crime to ipjwe that
ueyg country He lwho becomes guilty
of it, ciolates his most sacred engagements,
and sinks into base ingratit,a}e he die hon
Ors himself by the blacklist perfdy, since
he abuses the confidence of his fellow
citizens, and treats as enemies those who
had a right to expect his assistance and
services. We see traitors to their country
only among those men who arc solely
sensible Of base interest who have an
immediate value for mono but themselves,
and whose heart is incapable of every
sentiment of affection for others. They
are therefore justly detesied by the ,olole
,oorM as the most Infamous Of all ullaias."

felt for the safety Of d. B. N. steamer Rinaldo,
which took on board the released rebel en-.

says:
1t will not be forgotten that the Rinaldo, II
Commander Hewitt rallied from Provincetown
on the evening Of New Years Day, with Messrs
Mason and Slidell and their secretaries on
board, bound to Halifax, N. S. She had moi
arrived there yesterday morning, and there ir
not unnaturally, much unessiness felt on hel
| account. 1t In known that terrific N. W. gale
sprung up at the instant OF her departure; snf
even had she been blown to leeward by III
| force, a steamship would not, under ordinary
| circumstances, have been delayed 80 much be
yond her time. We learn, however, that the
Rnaldo had but very moderate allowance o.
coal on board, having lett this port hence tc
Cape Cod In six snd-thirty hours. Her ma
cbnery also had been slightly derauged. Az
therefore, It blew hard from the North, from
the sd instant to the 9th, we deem it exceed
ingly probable hat Captain Hewitt, one Of th,
sblest OF seamen, bore away in due time iol

The resolution entire:
whereas, by the joint resy luton OF Decem

otives is made payable at the second session OF
my Congress; and whereas by the act of Feb

egates, for the fiscal year ending june 80, 1852;
lIriation remains still unexpended; and where.

touches the point of the time when the secont

OF the Thirty.seventh Congress is it's secont

il upon that construction that Mr.. Allrich'
