TEE DuvxRxxcE. Judge Birch has been a..
rested for preaching treason on the stump In
Missouri. He 10 candidate for Governor
Geo. W. Jones, Dennis Aabony and their cola
borers in this State are allowed TO inter and
print disloyal sentiments With impunity 70 they
do not commit tie osers act. The reason why
Jones and Nahony are not, like Birch, arrested
and dealt with, is not because they are les gull
ty, but because they are lees liable 70 do harm.
The people Of Iowa are too patriotic-have fur.
nished too many brave troops and made too ma.
ny sacrifices for the preservation of the life Of
tie nation to be seduced from their allegiance
by any set Of politicians however crafty, much
less BY the Jones faction. m
~ John A. Gilmer, of North Carolina, re-
Gently said In the Convention for revising the
Constitution in that State, that Slavery had
caused the war-had caused al the blood-shed
and devastation, and ought to pay the expense.
Acting upon this suggestion the Convention
levied tax Of from Is to S2S each upon slaves.
How very different Mr.. Gilmer's teaching from
that Of the vallsndiehammera They say the
Abolitionists caused the war and ought to be
hung. Mr.. Gilmer also expressed the further
pinion that there will be no peace in the coun-
try until system Of emancipation ID adopted
and this jarring element Of slavery put into Ii.
quidation. The Vallandighammers recognise
the same idea by promulgating the theory that
there can be no peace in the country until the
friends of slavery are restored to power. The
reason for this conflict of opinion is explained
by Mr.. Gilmer when be says that he was alwsys
opposed to secession from the frst-is now and
all along has been staunch friend of the Union.
az A municipal regulation of the city OF
New Orleans Furnishes with imprisonment In the
calaboose any women Of the town found in the
streets after nightfall, or who may converse
from the windows Of their houses with persons
outside. And this is the punishment accorded
to women who may insult our soldiers under the
proclamation; so the squeamish ones who have
been SO exercised over the order, can bottle up
their sympathy for use on future occasions.
"Several positions in the New York Custom
House, formerly filled by white men are now &C.
cupied by negroes"
Whereupon Prentiss remarks that several
places in the South that ought to be filed by
black men only, are frequently filed by white
men. g1f
A Run FOR ScAxp-The City Marshal made
an attempt yesterday to arrest . notorious char
acter named Bob Knowlton, who had bid him
self in house ON Division street. Being ad
vised however of the MartAel's intended raid
Knowlton took to his heels and went in the di
rect;on taken by his compeer, Pete Mower, I
few weeks since. The Marshal could not over
take him, and he made good his escape. It vii
be much better for him to remain at distance

Hill.
q In 1851 Chicago swindler BY the nam'
Of Sloan contracted with nearly all the low,
papers for the advertisement Of quack hors'
medicine. He never paid one Of them . cen
and never meant to from the first. But abou
half Of these papers, thus swindled, keep Sloan
advertisements still running in their columns
thus discrediting their own papers, cheating
those who do pay and holding out inducement
10 the public to swindle them.
