A GroWl at the President.

The Aboliiionists seem al last 10 have re.
allied The nnwecome fact that neither per-
suas:on nor menace can drive President
LINCOLN into the adoption OF their peculiar
views on the conduct of The war. They
attribute 10 exclusiveness wha; is probably
nothing more than indisposilion on the
part of the President 10 listen TO their coun-
sells. Having determined that the war shall
be conducted solely for the restoration Of
the Union under the Constitution, Mr.. Linz
coin has very properly resolved not TO be
bored by abolition deputations and officious
Senators. 1t appears that Mr.. GRIMES OF
Iowa, called one day al the White House
on ''official business, and could not OBJ
tain an interview with The President: where.
upon the Tribune complains that ''lhere are
certain personal friends who can obtain ac-
cess al any time, but all others who get
beyond the unPIeasan: purlieus of he pri-
vats secretary from Illinois are most foriu-
nate. There was never any President so
inaccessible 10 his fellow citizens as MIR
LINCOLN, and il is 10 be feared that ne may,
from this cause; be kept in ignorance OF
the real state of popular feeling in that part
OF the United States which lies north of Ken
tucky." MOI BIZ of it, Mr. LINcoLN has
recently shown that he understands public
sentiment, and that in obedience to that
sentiment, he has determined 10 have moth
ing more TO do with disloyal fanatics of the
GREKLEY school. They are no longer ad-
miiled into the intimate conferences o. the
White House, and hence their disappoint-
meni and rage. Poor GkEKLEY scolds like
a passionate man who has had the door OF
house, 10 ~hich. he expected 10 find a
warm welcome and comfortable quarters,
summariiy slammed in his face. He lee
lures the President on the pernicious ten
deucy Of excIlisiveness, and warns HIM III at
'sJohn Tyler and James Buchanan obtained
their whole stock of information on the sub
jecf of public opinion from few intimate
minions, who systematically concealed the
truth y Mr. LIScoLs's offence seems TO be
that he will not make ssintmate minions''
OF Greeley & Co and lake ais impressions
of public opinion from them.
The truth is that the AboIiiionists begin
TO realize the fact that they have played
and lost, and iha. their counsels are not to
| be heeded in the While House. We pre-
diet that before long they will be in open op-
position to the Administration. and that the
President will look TO the Democrats and
moderate Republicans to support the con-
servalivs policy OF his adminisiration.-Pa-

LrsisIatia.s Corruption

We perceive. BY The Legislative Record,
that Hon WILLIAM HoPKIss, of Washington
couaty, has offered a resolution in the
House OF Representatives TO appoint com.
miilee o. fiye members TO inquire whether
i'm proper means we're used TO procure the
passage Of the bill for the Communication OF
tonnage duties al the last session OF the
legislature. We hope that Mr. Hopkins
resolution vii: be adopted and that the pro-
posed investigation will be made al once
aud lhorouahiy We fear, however, that
The present legislature will moi be equal 10
the work for The reason that the control OF
both houses is in the hands of the party
whose interest il is 10 cover up the frauds
aud enormities connected with the Legislation
of last session. II is generally believed in
well informed circles, thai certain noiori-
Gus politician who resides in Franklin
county. originated the 'sunion party" move
meni in iha, county. for the purpose OF get
ting the House Of Representatives under his
thumb, so that he might be enabled TO
squeeze ont OF that body all inquisiiveness
on The snbject OF bribery and corruption,
especially with regard 10 The passage of the
act for the continuation of lhe tonnage du-
ties. We are, therefore, led 10 doubt
whether Mr.. Hopkins; committee, as con-
sirucied under The supervision of K. Nc
CLURE, would be any thing more than
committee of rkife araskers. Nevertheless,
since the resolution calling for an investi-
gallon has been introduced, we hope that it
viii be adopted aud acted upon, mol only for
the sake Of making the iuitiaory step tow

but that justice may be done 10 the parties

Mr.. Editor I'm my last there was men
ton made of supposed movement. That
you will observe has moi YET taken place =
We are still in our old quarters, snug and
coZy. At the time of writing, three compa-
nies, &c. D. and H. were under marching
orders. They have gone, aud are now STA
toned at Fort Delaware. i is very uncer-
taia as 10 how long we may remain here
Judging from the receipt of arms, we are
inclined to the belief that these will be our
quarters for some months. On Tuesday of
last week, seven small Brass field pieces were
sent Us from our old Commonwealth. The
boys" were greatly pleased with the can
nons-thought they would like TO use them
on rebel soil II does appear very tedious
for us to remain here inactive so far iIom
the seal of war, especially al time when SO
much is expected of the Federal forces.
We have cheering news from England,
and should not regret that the =" Trent" af-
fair is adjusted, now that we are in the
midst Of an internal war.
Should England wish TO test our military
prowess, Justice al least should teach her
TO defer the exhibition until we are united
people. The position of France on this
question of international law was decidedly
in favor OF the restoration of the arch-iraiors,
Mason and Slidell sti!l we can not but ac-
knowledge the consistency of such course
of action, when we are led to believe that
it vas prompted by the hest of motives.
Intelligence has reached US OF the death
OF the rebel General Zollicoffer and the de-
feat OF his army. This news you may
Judge was well received in camp.
The disposition, strength and discipline
of the Federal forces are certainly encoura.

my Judging from the aspect of military
affairs We may eypect decisive movement
soon We certainly have bright hopes ioI
the future of our country. McClellan-''the
hero of the present7-we have reason tc
believe will bring 10 war tie speedy and
successful issue
In glancing over the columns of The Col
unbia County Republican we chancedto notice
a eulogium 10 the Rohrsburg Union Com
panyv in contrast with the I" Greenwood

prompted by way of correction. The Docto

than the latter Company. This We know II

'' The Rangers than from s. The Union

doubt not the patriotism OF any OF on
friends. We can have but lille confidence
in men who are constantly impeaching the
loyalty oil others while they excuse them
selves from entering the service.

About an inch OF snow fell during the nigh
