We wish to warn the country, and es-
pecially the young girls and good old
grandmothers Of the nation against what
the servile trucking tools of abolitionism
call Breckinridgers. The 'Brcckinridg-
ers, when analized are curious animals.

who voted for Lincoln but now declare
themselves in favor Of a constitutional
government and go in with the Demo
cratic party to maintain the inalenable
rights of the people to restore the Union
and protect the treasury and maintain the
credit of the nation. 1t will thus be seen
that what the AboltioniSts call Breckin-
ridgers are bad fellows. They tell the
people that the Chicago platform is not
the constitution; that the negro is not
as good as the white laboring man, that
the abolitionsts formed sectional party
and made the North hate the South, un-
til disunion followed: and host of 9TH

able. 1t is possible that some CT these
chaps have horns upon the top of their
heads and it is believed that many of them
haunt the bed chambers of thieving Off

tractors, and it may be possible that they
have in some cases even made babies cry
at midnight. We would warn our friends
against what abolitionists call "Brecken-

Judge Douglas and the Repub-
can Senators.

Judge Douglas, in his last letter from
Washington to his friends in Illinois, de-
clares that for Partisan Reasons" many
Republican Senators were anxious to
dissolve the Union. Here is the extract
read and ponder it:
"The fact can no longer be denied,
that MANY OF THE REPUBLICAN
SENATORS DESIRE WAR AND
DISUNlON UNDER PRETEXT OF
SAVING THE UNION. They wished
to get rid OF the Southern Senators, in
order to have a majority in the Senate to
confirm the appointments, and many OF
them think they can hold permanent
Republican ascendency in the Northern
States, but not in the WHOLE UNION;
FOR PARTISAN REASONS THEY
ARE ANXIOUS TO DISSOLVE THE
UNION, IF 1T CAN BE DONE
WITHOUT HOLDING THEM RE
SPONSIBLE BEFORE THE PEO-
PIE.

a guIar Case.

In New Hartford, on Monday evening
at six o'clock, three boys went in bath
ing in the Pennington river, above the
Greenwood Co.'s mills. one of them a
lad of eleven years, getting close upon
the dam. This boy was drawn under by
suction into hole in the dam an acci-
dental ono) and was barely large enough
to admit the lads body, but he was drawn
into it and disappeared. The other boys
became frightened and ran home keeping
the loss of their companion secret, for
fear Of consequences to themselves. The
next day a search was made; his clothes
were found on tho bank, and the river
was thoroughly dragged, to no purpose
On Wednesday morning the boys were
forced to tell where the lad was, AT
once it was resolved to take up portion
of the dam. This was done, and under
the dam the boy was found aliVe. He
was perched on tie timbers of the dam

lirious, and was so weak that he had tC

AFTER ALL.

The apples are ripe in the orchard,
The work Of the reaper is done,
And the golden woodlands redden
In the food of the dying sun.
At the cottage door the grandsire
Sits pale in his easy chair,
While the gentle wind of twilight
Plays with his silver hair.
A woman is knceling beside him,
fair young head is pressed,
In the Wild wind passion Of sorrow,
Against h is aged breast.
Aud far from over the distance
The faltering echoes come
OF the flying blast OF trumpet
Aud the rafting roll Of drum.
Aud the graudsire speaks in whisper,-
"The end no man can see;
But We give him to his country,
And we give our prayer to Thee"
The yocts star the mcdows,
The rosc.buds fringe the door,
And over the grassy orchard,
The pink-white blossoms pour.
But the grandsire's chairis empty,
The cottage is dark and still -
There is a namelcss grave in the battle field
And a new one nnder the hill.
And pallid, fearless woman
BY the cold hearth sits alone,
And the old clock in the corner
Ticks on with a steady drouc.

The army bakery, established at the
Capitol at Washington, in April, 1861,
is now being removed to "A building, Just
erected near the observatory. Between
the LIST OF May, 1861, and the lst of June,
1862, the Capitol bakery supplied the
troops i'll and around Washington, with
lO.7O7 ,l5l rations of excellent breed
for which 56 ,4S6 barrels were used, and
the saving between the weight of -four
allowed and what was consumed was
81 ,453. AS high as 2l5 barrels of
flour have been consumed every twenty
four hours for a week, making 42,750
twcnty-ounce rations or loavcs n day
The average number Of barrels of flour
consumed during the month of October,
1861, was a fraction less than $50 a day,
or l,3l5,215 loaves for the month
SiXty-Gvc thousand loaves were once
issued in single day, The saving OF
flour, has in some months made the profits
of the bakery $4,000 after paying all
expenses, and the net profits for the four
teen months ending with June 80, hav,
been nearly $50, 900. At one time Isl
hands were employed, but the averag,
number has been about 100 They re

1t may be a puzzle to conceive how
our men can throw up fortlications right
in the face and plain sight Of the enemy,
without being seriously disturbed by
them. A brief description may be in
teresting, inasmuch as it cannot be con-
traband, because the work is done right
under the noses of the rebels.

duty with muskcts slung on their backs
and picks on their shoulders, they pro-

tape marks the line of excavation, the

muskets are carefully laid aside, the
shovelS are in hand, and each man silently

Our Northern Frontier.

The first Act passed by the General
Assembly, at the late special session,
was one "to provide for the protec-
,ion of the Northern Frontier of Iowa
from hostile Indians" This law pro-
vides
SECTION l. That the Governor of
the State of Iowa. be and he is here.
by authorized and required, to raise
a volunteer force in the State Of Iowa
from the counties most convenient TO
the Northwestern border of said State
of not less than five hundred mounted
men, and such other force as he may
deem necessary, to be mustered into
service by person to be appointed
by the Governor, at such place as he
may designate, to be stationed at va
rious points in the Northwestern coun-
ties Of said State, in such numbers
in a body as he may deem best for
the protection Of that portion Of the
State from hostile Indians, at the
earliest possible moment.
SEC. 2. That the Governor shall
appoint time and place, where all of
said volunteers shall meet, for the
purpose of organizing, and they shall
lorganize by the election Of officers
under the rules and regulations,
which now govern the organization OF
a like force Of volunteers for the ser.
vice Of the United States, and with
the same number of rcgimeatal and
company officers, who shall be elected
by the companies. severally, and by
the regiment, aud shall be commits
stoned by the Governor as officers o
like grade are now commissioned.
SEC. 8. That said force shall be or
ganizcd and stationed at the earliest
possible moment, and shall be armed
SO far as possible, with the State arms
now in the Northwestern part of tn,
State and each member of said com
pany shall be required to furnish hi
own horse and subsistence, and I,
furnish his arms if sufficient numbe
cannot be supplied as aforesaid, an
shall receive the same pay for sue
horse and subsistence, and the sam
pay for his personal services. as no,
provided for like troops and officer
in the regular service Of the Unite
States.
J A. subsequent act authorises the CO.
ernor, in case he may deem it exp
dent "to furnish the arms, horses an
subsistence provided for by said Ac
to be paid as provided by said Ac
instead of requiring the parties We
untecring to furnish themselves"

Sorghum and Imphec.

There has been a largo amount OF
sugar cane raised in Iowa the present
season. In Floyd county we think
enough has been grown to supply the
inhabitants with sweetenin'" for
the ensuing year. The farmers, just
now, arc very busy in manufacturing
from 4 their molasses and sugar. We
notice that gentleman in Wavcrly
has set up four-horsc power mill,
with boilers and all the necessary APP
paratus, under a good house roof,
and advertises TO manufacture at
halves, all the cane grown within
five miles of Waverly--at the same
time warranting the sugar and strip
he makes TO be equal to any manufac-
turcd in the State.
we may add by way Of explana-
ton. that Sorghum is the Chinese SUI
gar cane, and Imphcc is the African
cane. Both are raised in this county,
but We arc not sufficiently acquainted
with their relative merits to say which
is the best. We believe that the
Chinese produces the most strip, and
the African graduates the more rea-
Oily and produces finer quality of
sugar. II also ripcns some two weeks
earlier.

Close of the Session.

The General Assembly, convoked
by proclamation Of the Governor,
closed its Special Session of eight
working days on Thursday. The
chief objects for which it was called
together, were, that law might be
passed protecting the voters in the
ranks of the army from this State
from disfranchiscmcnt, and to accept
by legislative enactment of the Grant
Of Land made by Congress for Agri-
cultural and Mechanical purposes.
These objects have been promptly and
judiciously secured Provision was
also made for necessary notifications
Of the Militia Law, and for additional
defenccs for the inhabitants of the
Northern, Northwestern and South
ern frontiers. There was less talking
and more mork performed during the
session than we ever saw in Legis'
lativc body during corresponding
period, and when the task for which
they were convened was accomplish
ed, the Members dissolved themselves
into their original element Of private
citizenship.-Des Nome, Register
