RoBBISG THE TAX PAYERs-We invite
attention TO the abstract Of facts reported
by the joint investigating committee Of
the Legislature, published in another part
Of our paper this week. This joint com
mittee was appointed during the session
last winter, to investigate and report upon
the manner in which the war funds OF the
State had been discussed by the last State
Administration. The committee per
formed the duty assigned them, and re
ported at the late adjourned session. The
report is very volumEiors, and would oc>
cupy mora space in our paper than we can
well spare. So we present our readers
with a careful and accurate abstract Of the
main facts embodied in it, which we copy
from the Milwaukee Nous. Il discloses a
state Of things which canuot but alarm the
honest and patriotic citizens of the State,
whose resources and industry will have to
be heavily taxed in consequence OF the ve
nal;ty, extravaganza, and corruption, Of
the men who have grossly and wantonly
abused the great trusts confded to them.

Our ARMY.

The Var Department has upon its books
an army Of six hundred thousand strong,
but there are in reality but four hundred
thousand able bodied fighting soldiers un-
der the command of the national generals
to-day. After making this statement, the
Washington correspondent Of the n. Y.
Post remarks:
Here is monstrous discrepancy of
100000 1t is more nominal than real,
however, the number of sick, wounded,
prisoners and furloughs cannot exceed Co.,
600, and it follows that a vast number Of
names are upon the rolls which should not
be there, and that the returns which make
the whole force Of the government troops
G00,0 are incorrect. There is no such
force. and the proper departments or bu-
reaus are said to be at work endeavoring
20 ascertain the exact number of our troops
serviceable and unserviceable in the army.
It has been insinuated oD the floor OF the
House of Representatives that gross frauds
have been practiced, and that skeleton reg
iments, in considerable numbers, have
drawn pay steadily as full regiments"

Starving S Soldiers and Feeding Negroes.

Starving Soldiers and Feeding Negroes.
A correspondent of the Ohio State Jour.
nal, writing from Franklin, Va, in speak
ing of the suffering condition of the sold
iers in that region says:
'Poor haf-starved soretcAes have actu.
ally beGged Of Quartermaster Hurt ears OF
com from his forage pile, 10 eat IN the aJ
6ence cftood in their oscn department which
they are entitled to-"
Strange to say that while this is the case,
The Government telegraph speaks SO often
of the "PooR HALF STARVED MISERABLE
wRETCHEs " IN THE CONFEDERATE STATES.
Why is it that the powers at Washington
would have the people believe that all the
squalid poverty, starvation and distress be-
longs to the Southern States, while so
much Of the same is to be found at home,
and why, tell US, why are our soldiers per-
mitied to go "hal starved" while the con-
trsband negroes at Port Royal, Washing
ton city, and other places, are not only
well fed and clothed, but pampered in idle
ness by the very Government under which
we live? Why is it that the slaves ofSouth
ern masters are petted, fed and clothed
like Princes, while our poor white soldiers
in the army must be "JeGgiag ears at corn
to eat <' And yet this is called ga Holy
War;" and God is invoked by Abolition
clergymen, to prosper such war! Out
upon such inLumanity and such devilish
hypocrisy in religion Away with it all

Gen. Butler and Pierre Soule.

The Providence Post, in noticing the ar
rest of Pierre Soule BY Gen. Butler, and
his arrival at New York city as prisoner,
makes the following interesting remarks:
:" In 1860, this same Il. L. Butler was a
delegate to the National Democratic Con.
vention. Elected as friend of Mr.. Doug
las, be proved treachorous in the start, and
became bis bitterest opponent. lie helped
to break up the convention. lie helped
to nominate John C. Brecl:inridge. He
was co-worker with William L. 1ancey.
And when the several parties were we'll in
the field he took the stump for his favor
ite. No man in Massachusetts did so
much to sustain the Yancey Breckinrilge
dlsunion party as this same B. f. Butler,
now Major General of Volunteers.
Now Of Pierre Soule. At the adjourned
session of the National Convention, he ap-
peared in Baltimore with credentials as a
delegate from New Orleans. There were
two sets Of delegates. Soule and his as
sociates were admitted to seats.
S0ule was a Douglas man, and an ear
nest friend Of tie Union. lie made one
Of the most eloquent speeches for the
Union that any man ever listened TO. We
do net believe it was ever surpassed. He
exposed the rottenness and disunion char
acter of the Breckenridge party. to which
Butler belonged. lie was terribly sevel e.
Butler hated him. At least we suppose
be did Every disurionist at heart Ger
tainly hated him.

BLACKvs. WHITE L LABoR.-The DAYTON

BLACK vs.. WHITE LABoR.-The Dayton
Empire says that many Of the Republican
nabobs of that place are discharging white
men, and women from their employ, and
hiring in their places the recently arrived
" contrabands,' whose services they get
at very low prices-as low as eight ccnts
per day in soEe instances. We learn that
in the lower part of Bucks county, in our
own State, the Abolitionists are doing the
same thing. We could name a dozen
leading Abolition families in that county,
who have discharged their white "heIp, :"
aid employed runaway slaves, because
hey can get them much cheaper than
white laborars. We have already pub
Ished the fact that, in Franklin and West
Chester counties, white people are thus
being crowded from their places by the
freed negroes from the District Of Colum-
bia ana the runaway slaves now swarming
into PENNSYLVANIA from the South, and we
doubt not there are many other counties
in this State In which these "contrabands"
are crowding white men and women out Of
places and out of work A little time " ii
reveal to the laboring white men of Penn
! sylvania and other free States that this ia
| Gux of black lahorers threaten to deprive
them Of their bread and butter. If the ex-
| tremists in Congress succeed in carrying
out their programme, white men will be
compelled to emigrate to Illinois and such
States as prohibit negroes from coming
within their borders. ers.-Philade1phia E0e-

cry respect felicitious. 1t continued forty
wears. TO her intimate acquaintance and
to the nation, the character of Mrs. Wash
ineton was ever theme of praise. Afa
bic and courteous. exemplary in her de-
pertinent. remarkable for her deeds OF
charity and piety, unostentatious, and with
out vanity, she adorned by her domestic
virtues the sphere Of private life, and filed
with dignity every station in which she
was placed"
Previous to his acquaintance with Mrs
Curtis, Washington had been pleased with
other ladies. The author above quoted
on this point says, tha: in 1856, while in
New York, he was lodged and kindly en-
tertained a. the house Of Mr.. Beverly
Robinson, between whom and himself an
intimacy of friendship subsisted, which,
indeed continued without change, until
severed by their opposite fortunes twenty
years afterwards in the revolution. It
happened that Miss Mary Phillips, a sister
of Mrs. Robinson, and young lady OF
rare accomplishments, was an inmate in
the family. The charms Of this lady made
a deep impression On the heart of the Vir-
ginia Colonel. lie went to Boston, re-
turned, and was again welcomed back to
the hospitality of Mr.. Robinson. He lin
gered there till duty called him away; but
he was careful to entrust his secret to a
confidential friend, whose letters kept him
informed Of every event. In few months
intelligence came that rival was in the
field, and the consequence could not be
answered Tor, if he delayed to renew his
visits to New York. Whether time, the
hustle Of camp, or the scenes Of war,
had moderated his admiration, or whether
he despaired of success, is not Known
He never saw the lady again, until she
was married to that same rival, Capt.
Morris, his former associate in arms, and
one of Braddock's a;dssde-camp."
"He had before felt the Influence of the
tender passion. At the age of seventeen
he was smitten by the graces Of fair one
whom lie called "lowland beauty" and
whose praises he recorded in glowing
strains, while wandering with his survey,
or's compass among the AlIegany noun
tains. On that occasion he wrote des,
ponding letters to a friend, and indled
plaintive verses, but never ventured tc
reveal his emotions to the lady who
was unconsciouslv the cause of his pains

q Duel near PhilaIeInhia.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer, June 81
Rumors were ahoat yesterday, based on
apparently AUTHENTIC sources, giving the
particulars of a duel which took place on
Tuesday morning last, near this city.
1t was stated that on Monday last, two
gentlemen were engaged in conversation
at the Continental Hotel, when the posi-
ton assumed by England towards the
United States was noticed and bitterly
commented upon. One of the party pres
ent, an officer Of the Grenader Guards,
(now stationed, we believe. in Canada,
took offense, and used an insulting express
ion, which was resented by the American
spokesman.
a challenge appears to have been the
result. The comba.ants, wish their re-
speetiye friends, left the city about day
light on Thursday, and drove to Lizen>
burg's farm, in Montgomery county. Here
at 6 o'clock a. m., all the arrangements
were completed. a spot of ground was
chosen, which was partially surrounded 10y
woods. Vt that early hour, there was no
danger Of intrusion. Ten persons, in all,
were present. Twelve rounds were fought
with foils, bolh parties being skilled in
their use, the one from military experi>
ence, and the other from practice at Il club
in this city. &everal scratches were given
and received, but, before any serious result
had ensued, an agreement was proposed
and accepted. An amicabe breakfast was
tie result.

GgE- The La Crosse Democrat relates
the following history for little fanatics;
Once upon a time there was a great
and happy country, full of people. They
had all they wanted, were rich and pros
porous, and all the nations of the earth
feared their stars and stripes There were
thirty millions of white people in this hap
py country, and there were in it also, four
millions of happy negroes. And the white
people were jealous of the happy negroes,
and they went to war. And thousands OF
lives were lost. And millions Of dollars
were spent and stolen; and the happy peo
pie became divided and ruined and all
nations laughed at them, and heavy taxes
had to be levied, because thirty millions of
fools wished to quarrel about four millions
of contented negroes, who would not run
away from their happy homes even to
please thirty millions ofwhite trash And
the foolish white people became a laughing
stock, and had to labor all their lives to
pay taxes-all for the negroes"

A Remarkable Case--Living without
FOCd

The Cornish Times announces The death
Of a very remarkable woman at Diskeard,
Eng land:
"This woman was born in 1911, and
when abont sixteen years of age, the. first
appearance Of an extraordinary disorder
began to develop itself. She was taken
first with weakness in her legs. The
next phase Of the disorder made its appear
ance about her lips, which became parch>
ed a black, thick coating forming on them
which, at intervals, would peel off in scales !;
aud, after few years, this coating extend
ed completely y over her face. For more
than twenty eight years she made use Of no
animal food, and the 0nly sustenance she
paft0ok of was a little fluid, or q currant
biscuit, which would last her a fortnight !;
and from Christmas, 1860, to November,
1861, she was never known to take any>
thing whatever. On two or three occas-
ions since then, she was persuaded to take
little tea or coffee, hut it was Immediate
ly elected from her stomach. A short
time before her death, a portion Of theco
ing came off her lips, and shortly after her
death the whole mass fell off, forming a
complete cast of the couutenance. 1t
weighed about half a pound, aud averaged
about half an inch in thickness. Her face
was without blemish, and presented most
perfect appearance, but her body was re-
duced to a skeleton. She retained her
faculties to the last, was perfectly content
ed. and had no craving for food.''
