A Peoples President.

The Assembly has passed by an al
most unanimous vote, resolution ex
pressing it's unqualified approvaP' of
President Lincoln. The only member
who voted against the resolution was
q. W. Brown, who has our sincerest
sympathies, though we are obliged to
withhold them from Hon. h. pal
mer, who sneaked away to avoid re-
cording his vote Oh the subject. Why
is this, Henry l.? are you afraid to
commit yourself to a measure which
more than thirty rs good democrats as
Won ever dared To he, molly and I'M
hesitatingls endorsed ? or do you real
h belong to that VaIlandingham school
ofwhite feather democrats whom the
people have spit upon long ago? Such
moral cowardice is contemplate, and
cannot fail to receive its reward.
This resolution expresses, we ear
nestly believe, the feeling of all the
loyal citizens Of our country. It is 4
distinguished example Of the provr-
dence Of God, that in great emergen-
cies men, exactly suited to the occasion,
rise up to take the lead and protect all
that deserves protection. History
abounds in such instances, but will
we think, produce few more brilliant
ones, than this Revolution of 1862 af-
fords. This is emphatically a popular
struggle. 1t is struggle Of the PEG
ple to protect and perpetuate gov
eminent Of the people. And who can
say that Abraham Lincoln has not
shown himself to be fitted to lead such
Il contest?

THEM SAEDlNEs. Not great
while ago, Western landlord, some
what noted for his plumbers, took it in
to his head to get mp ball at his "tav-
ern" AS he intended to do the thing
mp brown, and have everything Oh the
big auger plan, he fancicd that few
">tore fixens' would be great addi.
ton to the bill of fare Of pork and tur.
key. He therefore made inquiry from
bis friends and found that the only del
icacics in market at that season of the
year was sardines. His chirographv,
however, was so bad as to make it read
two duzzen boxes syringes. The
night Of the party came, and as supper
time drew near, the landlord looked
anxiously down the street for the APP
pearance of the stage, which was to
bring the principal dish on the bill
At last it arrived and with a package
for the expcctant landlord. Directly
there was great cutlery, and sound
Of curslng in the bar-room The en-
tire party rushed out to see what was
the matter, and there stood Bonifacc
as mad as a turkey-cock, putting ana

4 MISSOURI SENATOR FOR EMANcI-
PATIoN.-Ihe speech of Mr.. Hender-
son, of Missouri, on the Presidents
emancipation resolution was siEgularly
liberal and just, for a Border State
Senator. He declared that he would
never, be the fate of slavery what il
might, raise his hand against his coun-
try j; that Missouri cared more for the
opening of the Mississippi river than
for the preservation Of the peculiar IN
stituiion and that war had already
cost her more than all the slaves with
in her borders were worth at the time

SIR:-The undersigned, late citizens
Of Wisconsin, and at present endeav-

Of the Union on the Potomac, feeling
ourselves deeply aggrieved by the re-
cent act of your EScellency in appoint
lug James Ordway and Richard G. SEQ
vile to the positions Of lst and &C
Lieutenants in Company d, of the 9Th
Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers, in
which Regiment and Company the I'M
dersigned have the honor to serve; the
above named gentlemen being entirely
distastefnl to this Company, SO much
so, in fact, that we do no: believe, had
an expression Of this Company been
called for, that either of those gentle
men could have received FIVE votes of
the Company for the positions they at
present occupy.
Believing your Excellency was in.
duced to act in the premises Gas before
mentioned) through the representations
Of certain parties to us unknown, we
respectfully beg leave to inform your
Excellency that no opportunity was at
any time gire'a this Company for an ex
preston of its wishes in the premises
| Gas is the custom in other volunteer
Regiments and Companies, and in one
instance at least in this Regiment,) but
on the contrary, the matter was so con
Quoted that the members Of this Com
pany were left in total Ignorance until
1t was presumed TO be too late to send
remonstrance to your Excelency.-
We would further beg leave to state n
few OF the reasons why the above
named gentlemen are thus diStasteiu!
to and unpopular with this Company {:
Mr.. Scovile was our Or,tcrIy Ser
geant by his ignorance and oycrbcar-
ing insolence he created such a strong
feeling Of dislike III this Company
against himself as man and an off
Ger that a petition, numcrously signed,
was presented t. our Captain, request
ing his removal before leaving Camp
Randall, and while yet in State serv-
ice, which petition WAS coolly pocket
ed. The attempt was resumed at Camp
Vanderwerken, Va, by petition sign
ed by over three-Go urthS of this Com,
pany, presented first to the Captain,
next to our Colonel, with like results,
or at least none more satisfactory.
AS to Mr.. Ordwav, he is vet a mi
nor; was appointed Corporal by the
Captain ct Beaver Dam over the rcgu
larry elected candidate, and contrary
to cypress agreement. This, however,
was looked upon as matter of minor
Importance On our arrival at Cam
Randall he was promoted as Cd Mas.

acted until his recent promotion, de-
tached from, and in no form Of duty

sons above stated, and others.

POPULATION OF THE WokLD.-The
population of the world is increasing,
and if we give to the term Christian
the widest latitude, it is by no means
certain that the number of pagans in
the world IS not row as great As it cv-
er was. Twenty years ago our hi CHI
est estimate of the population of the
gloae was about 500, 100000. 1t is
now admitted by all to be not less than
ten, and by those who are the best in
formed, to be at least t,celUe hmdred
miIzion This change of figures is due
in part to more accurate knowledge
of the geography of the world: but
there has been q great increase in
many countries, and no doubt, in the
aggregate, decided advance in the
population of the globe. From the
best and latest sources of information
we derive the following estimate:
