1.-THE long delay in onward movements also embar-
raises the Government financially. We cannot support
our armies by theft the Confederates do-oy paying
troops In worthless script manufactured by the scores Oh
millions without revenue or taxation which 10 base
it, by leVying supplies on friend and Toe, indlscrm'

The above extract We take from address to bis con-
sueuLs recently published from Washington, BY Hon.
Schuyler Colfa1, Black Republican member oil oor-
Rress from Indiana We have not often come across
ANYTHING 50 utterly destitute of truth decency-so
basely false and malignant. 1t s however, characters
tic of the government which has precpaed the eoun-
try into all the horrors Of revolution, marked 60 lar
by outrages unparalleled in the worlds history Theft
burglary and murder are the least of the crimes
perpetraed BY the tends who would subdue and crush
U.s. Christianity civilization and the laws OF nations
have alike been rampled under foot by the christian
nation" whose myrmidons pouts our soil "oeauty sna
booty has been haunted their banners, and lust ana
plumber rape and robbery have already sunk the Yam
kee nation low depth oinfamy In the eyes Of the
civilized nations Of the earth that our sueugation' could
il be accomplished to nOrrow-nay, were Abraham Lin
coin 10 be invested with the imperial purple OF soVer
sguty over The entire Western Continent, bis govern
ment caa never again claim respectable recognition In
any country where Christianity Is known and human
rights respected.
Deception and falsehooi marked the opening scenes
of this war The Commissioners sent to Washington,
last Spring. by the Confederate Government we're the
arss victims Of Yankee psrhdy. The Northern volun-
teers who we're appealed to rush to Washington for
the protection Of the Capital next in order. Our
Commissioners left the hated presence OF the crafty
hypocriies with whom they brought in contact alb
rupy and disgust and from the day OF their depart
ure from Washington, the South lost s confidence in
any declarations that might emanate from the Lincoln
Cabinet And how did the valiant protectors OF the
Capital act when they discovered the fraud that Lincoln
had practised upon thems Let the New York 7th an
swer. They the FIST to rush to the rescue Of
Washington but they were also the first to 90 back 70
their homes the very hour which their thirty days ex
PRED They we're feastsd. ASttsrsd and caressed by
Clmeron and his agents Even Gen. Scott forgot, for
moment bis wonderful but yet unaccompshed plans Tor
the crushing out Of the "nsurrecop, to play the bull
foou at the mock ceremony Of dag presentation to the
gallant 7th" But yet "the gallant 18th" could not be
induced to STAY whether from instructive sense OF
.efprsservAton, or revenge for being "bAmboozl'd,
the future historian will tell
The civilized world stands Gghast at the horrible afro
cities which have followed these ars acts of perhiy and
alsehood. We shall not attempt their enumeration
but We must confess to smaIement that With the
history of the past six months before his syes, Congress
Collar would put forth to the world such tissue OF
msndaci;y and brszen impudeuce as perVAdes his long
letter from Washington by which he thinks he can revive
the waning patriotism Ofthe HOOser State We may make
dis illusions to our worthless script the text for future
comment In the meantime, We would say God speed
the efforts Of Hon John G. Davis Of Indiana whose late
.cathng denuncalon Of the var and its policy has called
forth the elegant episile Of Schuyler OofAI.
