gress. They deny that slavery is the le-
ver-power of the rebellion. On the con-
trary, they assert that its lever-power is
the prevalent conviction among the large
majority of the Southern people, who,
they say, are not secessionists per se-that
their social institutions will not be safe
from unconstitutional invasion by the
General Government. Finally, they in
form the President that they will call the
attention of the people of their respective
States to the grave subject, provided the
profler of aid on the part of Congress
shall take the form of an act placing
funds in the hands of the President, with
authority to appropriate them in further
ance of the object suggested. This re-
port has twenty names appended to it,
The above is the substance, Its great
length precludes its publication in our
columns.

How A GIFT ENTERPRISE TURNED Our.
Some weeks ago man who advertised on
his bills over the name of j, w. b. Cooley,
and who represented himself as resident OF
Burlington, Vermont, made his appe aranee
in this vicinity, and offered tickets for sale in
a pretended charitable gift enterprise. He
baited his hook with such skill as to lead us
to suppose this was not his first attempt at
catching "gudgeons." The prizes consisted
OF various kinds of jewelry, pianos, and one
or two houses and lots, most of them given to
the Orphans and Widows Association +"
by charitable NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and wild
ows, made so by this cruel war the dear
creatures And Cooley was employed to
turn the jewelry, &c, into cash for their BEN
eft. He sold few tickets here previous to
May, and on the 25th of that month, sure
enough, he made his app earance here, and
each ticket holder received prize worth
more than the price of his ticket He repre-
scented that the house and lot" were drawn
by "widow" lady in Montpelier. This was
taken as demonstrative of his honesty, and
henceforth there was not much disinchnation
with large class to invest in his tickets for
the next distribution, which was 10 take place
at Burlington, on the 25th of June last. We
are credibly informed that he disposed OF
some 500 tickets in Rutland, at so cents each

Much has been said of the "happy dis.
patch" among the Japanese. But the Chi.
nese often dispatch poor wretch in some
what unhappy manner. A letter, dated
Shanghai, May 8, states that the keeper of
an eating house in that city had, few days
before, charged visitor with eating guam
tity of rice not paid for, when an angry
dispute arose. A mandarin was sent for, who
ordered the victim to be ripped open to as
certain whether he had swallowed the food.
1t was done and no rice found. A false
charge had been made; and to put things to
rights (according 10 Chinese ideas) the head
OF the accuser was quickly taken off, when
the magistrate was ready for another job.

DEATH OF DEBT.-Hall's Journal OF
Health relates the following: +" This is the
happiest day have had in twenty years /
feel free p said one of the greatest ornaments
ofthe Supreme Court ofthe United States, to
his sunny-faced child.
"What makes you feel SO happy, papa ?"
asked the little girl.
81 am out ofdebt have paid the last
dollar owe in the world, and have been la
boring with all my might for twenty years to
work myself out of the miserable slavery"
The moral of this is, "keep out of debt"
Debt blunts and blghts the finest sensibilities
Of our nature it robs us Of our manlness,
and where there was once all that was noble,
truthful, high-minded, too often there is moth
ing left but charred waste of debased man
hood, of contemplate prevarications, and
mean concealments. The Demon of Debt /!
how it withers and willis the beautiful flowers
of the hearts best affections, and the holier
emotions How it poisons every gladness,
robs every smile of its beauty, cuts up by the
roots every glorious quality of our nature,
and makes of him who might have been a
man, poor, fawning, faltering, cringing
wretch, waiting the creditors utterance with
the fears of slave, with the trembling of a
culprit. The fire has no warmth, the food
no taste, the flower no beauty, the air no life,
the ky no sun; the brain perceives nothing,
the eye sees nothing, the heart feels nothing
but the chill damps of the spectre Debt, in
the prison of the creditor, that so looms up in
the daytime as to shut out all the blue sky
OF life, and in The hours Of sleep, sits like a
horrid nightmare, with the weight of Pelion
On Olympus piled. With these experiences
before him, who but an idiot could be in
duced to incur an Indebtedness which there
was not ample means on hand to satisfy, i
necessary, within an hour?

THURSDAY, JULY "a,
MOVEMENTS IN VIRGINIA.

The advance guard OF Gen. Pope's army
is reported to have reached Gordonsville,
and to have sericusly interrupted the reb-
el communications by the destruction OF
:, :. -avted |
that Stonewall Jackson with a heavy
force of cavalry is making another dash
down the Shenandoah Valley, and much
alarm was felt among our troops stationed
at Winchester, on account OF stories being
rife of his rapid approach. We trust this
daring General will find more than his
match in Gen. Pope, and that if he ven
lures down the valley again his hitherto
brilliant career will be brought to final
close, by his capture.
No movement is reported in McClellan's
or Burnside's departments The proba-
bility is that they are awaiting reinforce
nents, or abiding the arrival of the mo-
ment when they can act efficiently in con-
junction with Gen. Pope, against the rebel
capital. ar.r.-I.s
The movements and plans of the rebels
seem to be shrouded in uncertainty. They
have learned to keep their own secrets
most admirably, SO that nothing but the
utmost vigilance, night and day, on the
part of our investing armies can prevent
~. .ac most disastrous surprises. Experience
does seem to have demonstrated that the
very best spy system we can adopt is to
permit contrabands to come within our
lines under the promise of protection
The events of the war have greatly chan
ged the prevalent public sentiment upon
this subject, as well as the feelings and
views of the Union armies and there is
now no squeamishness felt in relation to
making use of this expedient, to crush the
rebellion. sr=
At the same time, it is to be hoped that
the rebel espionage of our armies and
their movements may in some way cease
Hitherto all our important movement:
have been faithfully reported in Richmond
long before they have been known to the
loyal people of the North. We are aware
of the very great difficulty of preventing
this state of things, since we are in tn,
cnrmy's country, where every man, WON
an and child is hostile and a swift footed
spy upon our advances and retreats, blu
it may be that the experience of the pas
may have suggested some expedient
which may be adopted to greatly lessor
this evil. s.sb.s9
The general impression is that the grea
secresy observed by the rebels in relation
to the position and movements of thei
forces is ominous of some sudden attack
it may be diversion in the direction 9
Pope's army with an overwhelming force
in the lope of defeating and capturing it
and returning to Richmond before tn,
army of the Potomac can be placed il
condition to move. A few days however
will solve the riddle.
