paper organs calling themselves Democratic,
which, while fighting radicalism, have seem
ed willing to fight nothing else. They have
had scarcely word to say in behalf of the
maintenance Of the Union. They have ex.
pressed no joy at the successes, no regret at
the reverses, Of the loyal arms. They have
not spoken in favor Of enlstments but rather
seemed, perhaps without intending it, to
discourage them. We arc disposed to at
tribute their course, not to any deliberate
treason, but rather to the Old spirit Of par

Journal.
There is not the least doubt Of the truth
Of the above article from the Louisville Jour-
nal: but the newspapers calling themselves
Democratic we are sorry to say are not
the only ones that have allowed themselves,
to their eternal iniamy, to run mad over old
partisan politics. And they, we fear, are not
the only ones that have to some, and to a
fearful extent, been doing the work of trea
son. Every man, old or young, great OF
small, North or South, of whatever party, pol
itics or creed, who has prostituted his energy
and talents to the base object Of elevstirg
party above country. as We believe one who
has engendered, encouraged, fostered and
supported party strife or discussions in the
North. since the first gun was fred at Fort
Sumter, has done, has been doing the work
Of treason. We pray God that this horrible
mockery may stop, that the people Of this
country may for once be united with the
glorious purpose in view Of saving the Gov
eminent Then it will most certainly be
done; but while one half of the North are
calling the other half ''Tory," and the. halt
designated Tory are calling the other hall
AboIitionist," we have great fears that the
traitors will finish their work Of treason in
the destruction Of the Union:

No Substitutes Accepted.

A despatch dated the 24th November,
says: IAN order was received at Harrisbur re-
on Saturday from Washington, that no more
SUBSTITUTED. in lieu of drafted men, will be
accepted"
This is strange order, and one that can
not be justified on any ground whatever
The draft by the Government is a violent
infringement Of the liberties Of the subject.
1t ought never 10 be resorted to except on
the plea Of the most urgent necessity and
when the necessities of the Government is
such that draft IS unavoidable, 1t ought
always to be attended with as little hard
ship as possible, and every circumstance, in
mitigation of the evil, ought to be allowed.
The most common relief, is, for the person
drafted 10 procure substitute. This may
frequently be done with incalculable advan
tage to the person drafted, and without the
slightest detriment to the Governments
Suppose, for instance, that man OF exten.
sive business is drafted, unless be is allowed
to procure substitute, not only is he ruined
himself but an hundred others, by their
business relations may be ruined with him.
Still the financial ruin OF a thousand or a
million individuals is nothing compared
With the existence of the Government, and
if the personal presence Of that individual
was necessary to the safety of the Govern
ment, we wonld, with our whole heart saw.
let him be compelled to go, even though a
thousand or million persons are ruined, BY
such compulsiop. But where no such in
terest is staked upon the personal presence
of an individual, it is sinful, 1t is criminal,
in the Government or any Of it's officials to
tamper with the liberties of q citizen.
The despatch says, "the opinion is ex-
pressed that the order will be coun.ermand
ed.' Well may such an opinion be both
entertained aad expressed.

Col. A!dyich.

The Press has. on several occasions, sought
to stiglna:ize Col. Aldrich with the charac
ter OF defaulter to the Government, in or
der to damage his chances for an election to
the United States Senate. The editor of the
Press must be ''green." We have often seen
that thing tried in politics, and we never
knew it to win yet. If you wish to ensure
tho election OF any man, just commence and
charge him with larceny. robbery, bribery,
burglary, arson, forgery and every other
crime in the calendar, and his election is
certain. We don't intend to insinuate by
this that any Of the charges against Colonel
Aldrich are true, but simply to remark that
the Press man is not posted in western poll
tics.

Terrible Snfarings In The Armx

Terrible Suffering: In the Army.
The correspondent of the Milwaukee Sen
hnez gives Al account Of q storm that over.
took the Potomac army while encamped on
the Rarpahannock ,.s.. 1873.
The wind was cold and piercing, and the
rain fell in such torrents that all the efforts
Of our brave soldiers to turn it off, by ditch.
ing, was unavailing. They had not beard
nor bough, nor even = little straw to keen
them from the wet. cold eround-there they
stood or laid all night, in that horrible con-
dit'on, whole regiments being wholly des.i.
tute Of anything TO keep up fire. Tn.
next day was cloudy, wet snd cold; truly,
the soldier OF his country earns the gratitude
Of his countrymen.

Nothing but determination will DO.

D.
It is intimated from several sources that
the Indians are preparing for grand hostile
demonstration on the frontier in the spring.
Mr.. James McFetridge, ESQ says the st.
Paul Honeer) arrived in st. Paul last week
from Pcmbina. Before he left large party
OF Psmbina trappers had returned from the
region Of Devils Lake, about two hundred
miles from St. Joseph. The Sioux Indians,
to tho number Of over one thousand are en-.
campcd there, and Little Crow is with them.
They have a good supply Of cattle and hors.
%, and they are determined to make An
attack in the spring.
Now, what shall be done ? We say, treat
those who have, or who may hereafter com
init murder, as murdcrers. They are not
entitled to tho treatment Of prisoners Of war,
to which position the authorities at WASH
,ing,ion are evidently attempting to elevate
those that lave already been convicted OF
murder: II single Indian had, in 4 mo-
ment Of passion. shot white man, that In
dian would, without any doubt, have been
hung. But when whole tribe, wi,hou,

Of halt, and more than half the guilt, and
tho perpetrators OF such horrid crimes, must,

They have committed most foul murder,
and their friends and relations still contem.

Demand Notes.

The old demand notes ofthe Government
of the United States are now, and always
since their issue, have been worth higher
rate ofpremium than silver. This ought to
be encouraging, as indicating the confidence
money men place in the stability of the

From despatch from jeff. Davis to Lieut.
lollnes, there is great reason to fear that a
system Of re'ali,tory numbering is about to
BE- resorted to-. It appears that Gen. Meme
caused ten guerrillas to be shot Cor hung,
We disremember which, and Jeff Davis ha.
demanded that Gen. McNch be given up to
the Confederate authorities; in default Of
which Gen. Holmes is ordered to execute
the first ten United States officers that falls
into his hands. ...
The whereabouts Of Stonewal jackson is
in doubt, but it is believed that Sigel has an
eye on him.
Erricsson's new iron clad Monitor, Pas
safe. is a complete success. She left New
York on the 2Gth Mt ), destination unknown.
! Advices from Texas says that Sam. llous
ton has been making secession speeches.
We do not credit them--Old Sam and Uncle
Sam are too near relatives for that.
All political prisoners were released from
Fort Warren on the 9th ult., by orders
from Washington. We think they ought
to have been tried and honorably acquitted,
or else convicted, instead of sending them
out without charge, without trial, and with
blasted regulations. We have no doubt
that arbitrary arrests were justifiabIe, and
the suspension Of the writ Of Habeas Corpus
warranted, in the early part Of the present
administration. but we do claim that after
arresting . person no is entitled to, and
ought to have trial at the earliest oppor-
tunity. And he ought never to be thrust
out into society again without the opportu-
nifty cfclearins his reputation from reproach.
There is talk about the army Of the Pc.
tomsc going into winter quarters. in the Vi
oinity Of Fredericksburg. We hope, if it is
possible to prevent it, they will do no such
thing. The whole Potomac army is now in
front Of Fredericksburg. Ten days ago
Summers dvision arrived there, and found
. small rebel force at that place. lie could
have easily taken the place at that time, and
routed the rebels, but he did not do it he
summoned the city to surrender and the
authorities asked further time, which was
granted, and from time to time extended ;
the rebels, at first taken entirely by sur
prise, in the meantime making the best hast
they possibly could, have now concentrated
their army in the rear Of that place, on the
south bank OF the Rappahannoek, the pas
sage Of which they are now ready to contest
to the bitter ends. Why the rebel author
tiles Of that city have been allowed to tam.
per with the representatives Of the Govern.
snent has not yet been explained. 1t ap-
pears to US to be a blundcr Of the grosest
sort. W. may reasonably expect tidings Of
a severe battle soon to be fought at that
place.
France and England have been in commu.

Quarterly Report of the Trustees of tn,
Soldiers Aid Fund.

Soldiers Aid Fund.
The Trustees Of the fund raised for the aid
of soldiers families herewith present tbei,
FIRST Quarterly Report:
The whole sum originally raised for this
purpose was$2,487. 0O, which was diminished
by the sum Of $50 20 by subscribers who
enlisted into the service.
At the first meeting: Of the Board of Trus
tees, held August Goth, 1862, it was agreed
to assess each subscriber twenty per cent
on the amount Of his subscription. Public
notice was given Of such assessment in both
the Red Wing papers, for several weeks, and
subscribers called upon to pay over thei,
several sums to MIR. McIntire. the Presi
dent; or Mr.. Densmore, the Treasurer
About $3.50 was promptly paid, which was
less than the amount due. With much
toll and patience on the part Of the Board
there has been collected, up to this date
the sum o: $45690 on the first assessment
The sum Of $49S, is has been; discussed BY
the Trustees during the three months past
leaving the Fund in debt to the Treasurer 70,
the sum o. S42.23. The sums disbursed
have been distributed as follows:
Thirty~seven families have received aid
during the quarter. To twenty-five ofthese
families there has been paid $50 each il
Sept, $500 each in Oct, and SIS. 90 each in
November. Three families have been paid
s. 100 each FOR two months, and seven fam.
lies for one month. Three Of the last men
toned asked only for temporary aid. One
family has received less than $500. Fou,
families have had their expenses paid to
enable them to 60 to their friends in othe,
States. To one was paid the sum OF S27 .OC
to one $50 63, and $3.50 each to the other
two.
About thirty families OF soldiers remain
With US, who are expecting to receive aid
every month from the Fund. The necessi.
ties Of many Of them will be greatly increas.
ed during the winter. How shall they be
provided for? This is serious question
with the Beard o! Trustees. Ten subscrib
ers have As yet paid nothing into the Treas
u:y, and many others have paid their assess
mcnts after many calls upon them. The
Trustees feel constrained, urder the circum
stances, to ask that a suitable person be
appointed to collect oil future assessments
and pay over to the Treasurer the moneys
COLLECTED by him, at an appointed time each
month. This would enable them to dis.
tribute the whole amount collected at abou,
the same time, which would be very grea,
convenience to those who receive it, rs vel
as to the Treasurer xho disburses it. They
further recommend that another assessment,
Be made Of twenty per cent. on the Who'll.
amount subscribed, payable between thi:
date and December 9th, 1862. ALL of which
is respectfully submitted.

handsome metallic casket. Phe following
officers acted as pail bearers: Major Gen
erals McCeok, CrittendeD and Granger,
Brigadier Generals jackson and Johnson,
Captain Jenkins, Chief of Staff and other
staff officers. The procession was formed
at the Gait House at three o'clock, and was
composed Of cavalry and artillery and
about seven regiments of infantry. There
was also one company from each regiment

The remains were taken to Christ Church
where Rev. DR.. Talbot delivered an elo-
quent address, and thence proceeded to
Cave Hill Cemetery, and were placed in a
vault, where they will remain until they
can be removed to Camp Dick Robinson, in
accordance with General Nelson's request.
Yesterday it was rumored that General
Buell. was relieved of his command. The
news caused much dissatisfaction among
our State authorities and prominent eiti-
zens who have the utmost confidence in
Buell.
We have reliable information that Buell.
is still in command of the Army of Ohio.
A skirmish at Elizabethtown between
Colonel Kennels 4th Ohio cavalry and the
Sd Gergia cavalry resulted in the capture
of the entire force of the latter. Colonel
Kennett paroled the non-commissioned
officers and priyates.

Yard there are nearly 1000 men, and,
working on the wooden vessels in course
of construction hereabout, there must be
at least 5000, so that it would hardly ex-
