Where the Responsibility Rests.

Many of the Republican papers keep as
standing matter in their columns, the
Union sentiments of Hon. S. A. Douglas
and other Democrats, because their oacn
party leaders have always advocated dis
qnaon, and never uttered a Union senti-
ment in all their lives, not even since the
commencement of hostilities therefore,
they have to build their new born devo-
ton to the Union, upon the sentiments of
men whom for years they have slandered
and abused, and while they are heralding
the praise and loyalty of Democrats, we
shall keep before the people, the infamous
sentiments Of their leaders, and show the
people, from the speeches Of some Of the
very men whom they now so loudly ap-
plaud, achere the responsibility for the aoar
rests! If Judge Douglas is good authori-
ty in one case, he certainly should be in
the other. In the speech that he made
on the 3D. Of January, 1861, in the U. S.
Senate, he said, in speaking of his Com
promise:
81 believe this to be fair basis of ami
cable adjustment. If you of the Republi-
can side are not willing to accept this,
nor the proposition of the Senator from
Kentucky [Mr. Crittenden], pray tell US
what you are willing to do?
81 address the inquiry to Republicans
alone, for the reason that in the Commit
tee of Thirteen, few days ago, eve,y
member from the. South, including those
from cotton States, [Messrs. Davis and
Toombs1 expressed their readiness to ac-
cept the proposition of my venerable
friend from Kentucky, (Mr. Crittenden)
as a final settlement of the controversy, if
intended and sustained by the Republican
members.
"Hence the sole responsibility" (mark
the language,) "of our disagreement, and
only difficulty in the way of amicable ad-
justment, as aoih the Republican pary.'

The Negro Brigade.

An army correspondent of the Juniata
Register, writing from Beaufort, S. O.,
July 6, 1852, says
a"We found Beaufort to be pretty
great place, but it looks deserted The citi-
zens have all left, and before leaving they
destroyed all the property, broke up their
furniture even to the organs and melodi-
ans in the churches. The slaves hid un-
til their masters were gone, when they
came back to town, and our Government
is now feeding and clothing them. The
place is polluted with niggers and more
coming in every day, and all they say is
that that they would rather live under
Uncle Sam than under their masters, for
he gives them plenty of meat and good
white bread and don't ask them to work.
For Gods sake keep them out of the
North. | never knew what niggers were
till | got here all they want is to 60
North where they can get white bread
and meat and nothing to do.
"While we laid at Hilton Head, took a
ride with my friend Capt. Wayne, of AL
toona, up to the plantation of Mr.. Baker,
and on our return we stopped at the color
ed brigade camp, and there we found the
niggers uniformed better than most of our
own soldiers, and we can we'll account for
that. Their best friend is at the head of
the command [ mean Gen. Hunter, and
if white man says anything to any of
them they reply that they will report you
to "our" General Hunter. Is there not
enough of volunteers iuithe North to put
sdown this rebellion without arming regi-
ments of negro slaves Who wants to
be marched out into field of battle along
with lot of niggers? I don't and l
think that if the money expended on them
was used to uniform white men it would
look much better.
The truth is, the negroes have too much
liberty here, they go where they please
while the soldiers are penned up and
can't 60 any place without pass.

A Sure Plan to Secure Recruits.

The Newark Journal says: 1t is un-
der serious discussion at the War Depart
ment to deal out rations of guapoaoder and
aohishey, to the Wide Awakes of the last
campaign, to stimulate courage up t, "the
sticking point" of enlisting for the war. -
We think this has the advantage of most
of the plans of that Department, as it
must be successful According to report,
whiskey and gunpowder drove the rebels
pell-mell upon our batteries, "until in
their fancy" says one correspondent,
"they seemed to be perfectly oblivious to
the fact that cannon were loaded with
deadly shot and she'll" If you. can get
our Wide Awakes and "Home Guards"
into that fine frenzy, so that they are per-
fectly oblivious to the fact that cannon
shoot ball and she'll, then there may be
some hope of their enlistment-not before.
We approve of this plan and hope it may
at least be tried. The only thing that
now prevents our Wide Awakes, "Home
Guards" and "Reserves'' from going to
war, is the prevailing impression that
cannon are dangerous. Remove that idea,
and you will secure large proportion of
the men Of the lamp and of the cape, and
of the patriots who have been playing SOL
diers as "Home Guards" "Gray Reserv-
es," &c.-West Chester Je6ersonian.

The State Legislature.

The Governor of this State, believing
that Gin multitude of counsellors there
is WISDOM and desiring to adopt the
most practical mode of recruiting Mary
lands quota to the 100000 troops called
for by the President, summoned around
him many of the most influential patriots
of Baltimore to deliberate to that effect.
This Council having met, it seems they
had quite boisterous discussion, result
ting from diversity of opinions Some
were for drafting, some for one mode and
some another, but it seems that the propo.
sitiol for convening the Legislature of the
State met with most favor. Mr.. Purnell,
however, one of. the grand worthless of the
tribe, opposed the calling of the Legisla-
ture, on the ground that a change of SEN
timent has taken place in that body since
its adjournment. He thinks they cannot
be trusted, as they will not represent the
sentiment of the State. All, indeed, how
is this Mr.. Purnell ? The late farce
Commonly called election) was carried
under the protecting shadow of Federal
bayonets, and yet the Legislature don't
represent the sentiments of the people p
That is passing strange, indeed Either
the people or the Legislature must have
changed opinions very soon. We would
give you the recommendation that was Of
fered when it was alleged that the Legis-
lature of 1860 did not represent the senti-
ments of the people, "Let them all resign
and have an election to fill the vacancies
that they may speak directly from the
people" We agree with you entirely
that they do not now represent the true
sentiments of the State, and, furthermore,
they never did!

the Confederates as having crossed the river
Chattanooga, and that they have a force of cav
airy in East Tennessee six thousand strong. Col.
Forrest with strong body of Confederates, is
reported to be near Carthage, with view Of
making descent on the Louisville railroad.
A despatch states that Federal regiment en-
gagged in guarding the Memphis and Charleston
railroad between Decatur and. Courtland, Ala
bama, were attacked by the Confederates on Sat
urday, and thirty or forty of the regiment are re-
ported to have been killed. The road was dam
aged to a considerable extent, but not so much
as to stop the running of the trains.
The correspondent of the Philadelphia Lnquir-
er, writing from the Peninsula, states that the
exodus of officers from McClellau's army still
continues. "Many," says the writer, ''have re-
signed, others are sent on recruiting service,
whilst about half of the whole number have no
right or business to go home. II II ~ Never
was an army SO deficient in minor officers as the
grand army of the Potomac"
The Washington Star states that telegram
has been received by the New York Tribune an
nouncing the arrest of the Hon. G., L. Vallan-

eating Mr.. Valandigham. The prisoners were
to be sent to Cincinnati.
At Culpepper, on Monday of last week, the

Washington. .... .
The order of Gen. Pope releasing from protec-

The regular Fortress Monroe despatch says
thatit is believed that the statement of Confeder-
ate officers that'many of their troops were being
sent from Richmond to reinforce General Jack
son at some point was to disguise the fact that
they have large force between Richmond and
the Appomattox river. 1t is also believed that
they are still concentrating troops in that coun-
try.
1t is reported the Federal troops have evacua-
ted Grand junction, Tennessee, and that tile
Confederates are now in possession of the town.
Almost all that portion of the Memphis and
Charleston railroad between Memphis and Cor
inth is now in the hands of the Confederates.
Humbolt, in Gibson county, Tennessee, fifty
four miles below the Kentucky line is also repor-
ted to be in possession of the Confederates. This
cuts off railroad communication with the North
from Memphis
The Confederates are now reported to be sta.
TONED in force from Orange Court House through
Gordonsyille to Stannardsville, in Green Co., a
line seventeen miles in extent. The force is esti
mated at from twenty to thirty thousand, but
which is not sufficient according to the des.
patch, to secure their safety.

A Hard Nut for Emancipationists to
Crack.

Mr.. John Quincy Adams, whose writ
ings are text book among Abolitionists,
when Secretary Of State under Mr.. Mon
roe, in 1920, wrote letter to Mr.. Rush,
then our Minister at London, discussing
the right of the British Government to
emancipate American slaves captured dur
ing the war of 1884, in which he
says:
"The principle is that the emancipation
Of enemy's slaves is not among the acts Of
Legitimate war--as relates to the owners
it is destruction OF private property, no
where warranted by usages Of war;"
Again, he says:
"In the statement of the British ground
Of argument upon the claim in the SUBJ
mission, they have broadly asserted the
right Of emancipating slaves private pro-
perty-as a legitimate right of war. This
is utterly incomprehensible on the part Of
q nation whose subjects hold slaves by
millions, and who, in this very treaty re-
cognizes them as private property. No
such right is acknowledged as law Of
war by writer's who admit any limitation.
The right Of putting to death al prisoners
Of war in cold blood, and without special
cause, might as well be represented as a
law of war, or the right to use poisoned
weapons, or to assassinate."
So even the omuipotent awar power,
confers no, authority, according to Mr..
Adams, to emancipate slaves .Jedeyso-
