W hite men. The blood of three millions
Of white men is now rotting out in our
tropical regions through the veins of the
sooty African. Mr.. Lincoln is simply
blind, Ignorant and deluded. He does
not know the terrible evils he is trying to
bring upon his country. He calls evil
good and good evil, and is rushing this
great and prosperous country-one short
year ago the pride of every friend of hu-
nanity and the beacon light of the lovers
of liberty throug hout the world-into the
darkness of barbarism and the night of
despotism. Providence has permitted
other nations to be ruined by free negro
ism, as if for our example, yet we shut our
eyes to the warnings of experience, and
rush madly on to national suicide
We're it not that political party is mimi
cal to negro servitude, because it thinks
it stands in the way of its supremacy,
there would not be candid man in the
country having thimble full brains, who
would oppose it. AS is, this party is
steadily marching on its career of desola-
ton, and if conservative men" suppose,
from such proclamation as this of Mr..
Lincoln's that the great end it has in view
is averted, they will live to see themselves
mistaken. No disapprobation has even
been shown by Mr.. Lincoln to men who
have gone for the most ultra views, prov
ding that his Judgment only differed as to
the expediency and not as to the right Of
the step. Fremont was recalled, but
given another command. Cameron, who
proposed to arm the negroes, was re-
warded with the Russian mission and
if, to silence the clamors of the Border
State men, Hunter should be recalled, he
will probably be transferred to a better
post. When the leader of party talks
about the beastial degradation of Jamaica,
the promiscuous intercourse of Hayti and
the ruin and desolation which free negro
ism carries everywhere, coming over a
country as "gently as the dews of Hea-
ven," it is evident that the ignorance and
blindness of such mind, painful and
deplorable as it is to all enlightened and
humane people, must rush any nation
guided by it into the most deplorable
calamities which the world. has ever expe-
rienced, or the mind of man ever conceiv-
ed.

Col. JOHN r. KENLY.-A telegram
from Martinsburg, at S o'clock Tuesday
afternoon from Mr.. Westbrook, superin-
tendent of the line, announces the fact
that Col. John R. Kenly, of the first
Maryland Regiment, had arrived in Mar
tinsburg. He was wounded, but not SO
seriously as to prevent him walking about.
He was taken prisoner by the Confeder-
ates as before stated, but subsequently re-
leased upon his parole of honor. Col. K.
expressed himself to parties in Martins
burg as highly pleased with the treatment
be had received at the hands of the Con-
federates, and when informed of the state
ments made by parties who protested to
have witnessed the fight at Front Royal, as
to the barbarous treatment of the wounded
by the Confederates, he was both chagrin-
ed and indignant. Col. Kenly is expected
to reach Baltimore to-day. He will not
return to duty until an exchange is effect
ed for him.-lSun.

The LAW OF TREASON. late de-
cision of Mr.. Justice Swayne, of Ohio, the
recently appointed Justice of the United
States Supreme Court, quashing indict-
ments found against various parties for
treason, takes somewhat different views of
the law from those which have been pre-
sented in other quarters. The indict-
ments charged the offence to have been
committed contrary to the provision Of
the Statute of 100, which afixes the
penalty of death to the crime of "adhering
to the enemies" of the United States,
"giving them aid and comfort" and they
are quashed on the ground that this pro-
vision of the Statute is inapplicable to the
present state of things, because the Con-
federates are not enemies of the United
States within the meaning of the Statute.

The total number Of human beings on
earth is now computed in round numbers
at one thousand millions. They speak
three thousand and sixty-four now known
tongues, and in which upwards Of eleven
hundred religions or creeds are preached.
The average age of life is thirty three and
three-eighths years. One-fourth of the
born die before they reach the age Of sew
en- years, and the half before the sew
enteenth year. Out of one hundred per-
sons only six reach the age of sixty years
and upwards, while only one in thous-
and reaches the age Of a hundred years
Out Of FIVE thousand only one attains
eighty years. Out of the thousand million
living persons three hundred and thirty
million die annually, ninety-one daily
three thousand seven hundred and thirty
every hour, sixty every minute, conse-
quently oae every second. The loss is,
however, balanced by the gain in the new
births. Tall men are supposed to live
longer than short ones. Women are gen.
orally stronger than men until their fftieth
year, afterwards less so. Marriages are
in proportion to single life bachelors and
spinsters) as 100 to rs. Both births and
deaths are more frequent in the night
than in the day. One-fourth of men are
capable of bearing arms, but not one out
of thousand is by nature inclined for the
profession. The more civilized country
is, the more full Of vigor, life, and health
are the people. The notion that educa-
ton enfeebles and degenerates the human
frame is not borne out by fact.

Forcible Remarks of the Hon. VIM. A.
Richardson, Of Illinois.
Delivered in Congress on Monday, the 18Th day of
May, 1862.

DeGtOeTe0 VI congress on Mon10Y, he lSLl Gdy or
May, 1862.
Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, proposed to
discuss few points relative to the con-
duct Of the government in the present
war. He said some time ago the distin-,
guished Secretary of State fixed as the
law Of the land that the negroes, within
thirty days after the termination of the
Court, who were not convicted, should 20
free. He did not allude to this for the
purpose of finding fault with that order,
but to contrast it with another. White
men cannot visit our camps without OBJ
tanning pass, but negroes can go without
one. Why are these things so? The
Abolitionists by their action in this Con-
gress, have abolished slavery in this Dis
trict, and laid large annual tax upon the
people of the United States. You are is
suing to-day rations for eighteen thousand
negroes. Where are you issuing rations
to the white people? The people of ILL
nois were selling their corn for eight cents
per bushel to pay the taxes. The govern
ment has four hundred negroes employed
as teamsters, paying them more than the
soldiers who are fighting the battles. En-
ploying these negroes in positions where
the white men of this country would like
to be employed. The government are is
suing rations to negroes in this District for
their support at an enormous expense, as
much as it would take to support several
of the State governments. He had it
from the best information that the govern
ment were issuing rations for five thousand
negroes in fort in one Of the Southern
States, at a cost Of forty-four cents head.
They are supported everywhere at the ex-
pense of the government, where there is q
General that will do it. Gen. Hunter
has withdrawn his support from the loyal
men and given it to the negro. Inc
government are clothing the negroes
everywhere, and furnished them with the
best employment they have to give and
the white man goes without. This Con-
gress has been in session for six months,
and Congrass has made no appropriation
to pay bounty to the widows and chill
dren Of soldiers who have been killed upon
the battle field. 1t will appear before the
American people that this Congress has
legislated for the negro everywhere. The
cost Of rations issued to these negroes
amounts to one hundred and forty-four
thousand dollars per annum. Where do
you find that rations have been issued to
poor white people :? What have you done
for the wb;ta man What haua Won dona

What are We Coming to?

A correspondent of the N. Y. Caucas-
IAN, speaking Of the financial prospects of
the country, says:
War is terribly demoralizing The mer-
camille world to-day repudiate unblush-
ingly the most sacred of obligations
There is almost no such thing as collec-
ting debts, and system of petty plum
dering is going ON in the civil strata
of society, while, Wholesale stealing is
taking place in the military line; and
high government officials have their
hands into the national treasury, or rather
their arms in, clear to the elbow. Rumors
of defalcations are whispered, reaching as
high as thirty millions in one or more of
the branches Of the government, and SO
on, in every direction, it is not only 81
kill, thou killest, he kills." but, 81 steal,
thou stealest, he steals, we steal, ye or you
steal, they steal." What are we coming
to?
In Congress things are going on swim
miugly. The gentlemen are coolly ma
king appropriations, week after week,
of millions upon millions, and in every
possible manner. Promises to pay are
now multiplied by machinery. No sigma
lures are required; the plates, aided by a
crank turned by steam power, grind out
the green backed Treasury notes, all prin-
ted, lin huge quantities, yet huge as. the
product is, the great NAV of the public
creditor is bigger, and swallows it as fast
as thus printed and issued. However, ap-
preparations Of all sorts are going on, in
dependent of the necessities pertaining to
war, aud any scheme can be pushed
through Congress, regardless of the word
ECONOMY. One thing we do know, pro-
duction has partially stopped in this coun-
try, while consumption is enormous, there
fore real wealth is decreasing, while mon
ey, its representative, is increasing
What will this state of things lead to n
"OUR WoRsT FEARS REAL1zED.'-
. The New York Argus, noticing tele-
gram that o proposition will soon be made
in the Senate, to issue sac hundred mai
lions Of legal tender Treasury notes Of all
denominations, and fundable in four per
cent. twenty year bonds, says:
"When the first proposition for the is
sue Of one hundred and fifty millions Of
paper currency was made, it was conten-
ded that the facility afforded by this pro-
cess Of coming money would tempt the
government into new issues, and that the
paper would run rapidly to depreciation.
We begin to see the truth Of this already !;
and Ia this scheme Of i vast paper coinage
we have our worst fears realized
Al Coop HIT.If the Abolitionists
insist on interfering with slavery in the
States, we claim the right to interfere with
the way free States treat black men,
These States should be compelled to let
the negro live in their borders on perfect
equality with them, their sons and daueh-
ters. If the military are authorized to set
the negroes loose, why not locate them in
Indiana or Illinois |? It is true this might
be contrary to the Constitutions and laws
of these States but what Of that7 If
4 the military can disregard our Constitu-
| ton, it can also disregard the constitu-
Itions Of other States. Louisville Dem.

EXPLOITATION OF CoTToN-It is clear that Great
Britain has not yet realized the power of the Coneder
ate States. That power consists not in numbers
mot in craftsmanship for that is yet to be proved
NOT in arms for the is not Jet ended-but it
consists in having under CONTROL by agricultural
productions, the bread of five millions OF her people
The language of the London Times with respect to
Messrs Mason and Sdel, shows clearly that John at
least, neither appreciates power statesman
ship. If we shall be weak to send to Great
Britain cotton and thus leave her to tre with our
rights, implicated with hers, respecting the Yankee
blockade she will neither feel power, respect
craftsmanship. She will see motive for inter
vention whilst she will hive powerful motives for
neutrality which fosters Yankee greed well as her
own. 1t is true she has right to submit 10 any in
dignity and any violation of her rights by the INSULT
Gent and illegal Yankee blockade of our ports. Ger
tanly, she do she pleases in all such matters
and We know, that whatever may be her course, our
rights and interests will not weigh feather in deter
mining it. 1t is clear Of independent nations
pursuing their interests IN their own way. She may
buy in order that she may avoid any collision with the
Yankees to get supplies from of cotton If she can
do So she may be very willing that the Confederate and
the United States shall exhaust themselves iii the
between them. Her provinces 10 Canada may be more
safe and her East India possessions fourishing
after such a war. This is the policy OF some of her
statesmen although very poor policy for ii ever there
was country whose welfare she should cherish dear
y that of the British Isles, that country the Con
tolerate States But this is not the view OF such pa
pers as the London Times. They hold US in light es
leem because they have not yet felt the power the
craftsmanship of the Confederate States. On part
we have our game of interest also to play. That game
is to hold the trumps in hands, and not toolishy
throw them away. 1t is to hold to cotton and
| force power experimentaly upon them. 1t is tC
let the FIVE millions of mouths which our cotton can fiji
or starve, lift up their cries in their and behalf il
the ears of the stupid anatical who may yielC
the destinies of the British Empire. We, of the Con
ederate States never can have fine opportunity
of making the whole world feel power; and neve
can it be exercised benefcialy in the beginning
of our independent existence. We can say 10 them,
you choose to enter game of shortsghed interest
irrespective of principle, be it So We are firm. Yol
shall not have property, to be used against
Here is duel OF INTEREST," but to be successful ou
part, our people must stand as one man. We are abb
