The Aiitonian is quite mistaken when il
says we .'5oasted" over.the election OF Pc
ter Ent, a Breckinridge Democrat TO office
This is not the case. Peter Ent was not
elected 10 any Office, neither was he a can
didate. But we did 'sboast'' some over the
fact that Peter Ent had two sons in the ar.
my, one Captain The other frs. Lieuten-
ant, which is more than we can say for any
rampant. tearing Black Republican in our
county and that Peter Ent and sons were
Breckinridge Democrats. This "fact did
afford Us great satisfaction" after the Black
Republican mobiles OF our place and coan
ty had siigmaiized every man who voted
for John e. Breckinridge as tory, TRAITOR
and Secessioaist We think no more of gno
c. Breckinridge this day than does the Nil,
tonidn, hence il need not pity us that we
cannot follow him. We follow no man, we
have not vel become dog or slave &c
any mans opinions or political heresies
We think Secessionism and Abolilionsm
one and ihe same Thing, both equally ruin
ous 10 the cause of the Union, and we are
opposed to both Sorry we can't say sc
much for the Mihonian.

Hilton Head, South Carolina, May 9, '62.
GENERAL ORDEas No 1.-THE three States
OF Georgia, Florida and South Carolina,
com prising the military department of the
South, having deliberately declared them
selves no longer under The protection OF the
United States of America, and having taken
up arms against the said United States, it
becomes military necessity to declare
them under martial law. This was accor-
dinghy done on the 25,i day of April go.
Slavery and martial law in free country
are altogether incom patible; the persoas in
these three States, Georgia, Florida and
South Carolina, heretofore held as Slaves,
are therefore declared forever free.

4 Bogus National Tar Assessor at work

A few weeks ago a scamp giving his
name as VIM. S Geary, doubtless assumed,
mad5 his appearance in Weissnburg towns
ship, Lebigh county, and forthwith COM
menced operations as national tax assess
tor,representing that he had been regularly
appointed by the government He pro-
ceeded from house 10 house, and assessed
everything he could find the occupants pos
sessed of, always pressing very closely as
Ito how much money they had to loan, and
as To- whether they had on loan, and whe;h.
er they had any in the house-at this point
taking care to explain the penalty in case
| of evasion. In this manner he actually
drove ii g people tosiright aud made them
easy dEpes. Nothing occurring to raise any
suspicion that the assessor was of the bo-
igus stripe he actually extended his opera
lions through the townships OF Lowhill and
commenced in Wesenburg. During the
main portion of the time occupied in his
work he lodged at David Mosser's tavern
in Lynn. Disappearing, however, one day
as mysleri6usly as he came. and without
paying his dues, suspicion arose as to the
nature OF his business, and on the matter
being investigated and discussed it was
found thathe had mos. egregriously hum
bugged large portion of the inhabitants Of
the three townships As he had made no
extortions in any shape, s'if now became
matter ofsdiscussion among his dupes as TO
what object the rascal had in view which
soon made itself manifest 10 a series OF
house breakings-in most instances where
persons had confessed TO having money in
:he house. In noinsiance, however, Gid the
robber or robbers succeed in getting any
thing of particular value, always being dis
covered The general sopinfon now pre-
walls that Geary is the head of band Of
thieves, and that in his assessing operations
he but paved the way for future operations.
Let people be on their guard all over the
country.

Ellis B. ScaNzBkL.-The Story ihal Ellis
B. Schnable. of this State, who was recently
released from Fort Lafayette, had gone
down 10 rebeldom and raken command OF a
regiment, is coniradicted by the Freeman's
Journal, which says he was in New York
on The 4lh inst. The fabrication is said 10
have originated in Lancaster paper, and
of course is going the rounds of the aboli-
lion press. We first saw it in the Columbia
county Republican, accompanied with some
characteristic slang aimed al the Democrat

In ANOTHER column will be seen the Gen
eral order OF a military man now in. com
mand by the name OF David Hunter, who is
a Major General, having command over the
Military Department Of the South; his Dis
tric; comprising the States of Georgia Flori
da, and South Carolina This proclamation
declares all persons, in those three States
heretofore held as slaves, forever Tree. If
this is no: Abolitionism, we are at loss TO
know what is Will ..the, administration,
Lincoln & Co., demand that this proclama-
lion be modified or will they allow it TO re-
main as put forth Z Did General Hunter take
the responsibility upon himself TO make
such a sweeping proclamation or did he
act through the instructions of headquar.ers1
Wesare inclined 10 ~believe'it another JohE
Fremont affair put forth for the purpose
of feeling the public pulse of the country
upon the subject OF setting The negroes free.
In The case OF John C. Fremont it did not
work. His proclamation was modified, be
through a farce OF trial, and The result was
most glorious 10 Fremont, that of placing
hin in a better aud more 'ifnportant COM
mand, and in a section of country where he
would be more objectionable 10 the people
among whom he had TO operate. This is
the manner in which this administration
treats abolition Generals and yet we have
those among as who contend that this ad-
ministration does 10: favor aboltionism in
the least. Does any sane person believe
this, when every act by them proves to the
contrary? No! 1t is useless for this Re-
publican parry TO deny any longer that they
are mol an abolition party, or at least The
leaders OF that party are, every one OF them,
and the men who uphold them are looked
upon with the same suspicious look. Can
any such men be loyal when their very
principles. acts and doings are ruinons TO
the Union cause, and in violation to the let
