Houee-HfstorIcnl Facts.

The Gaxrtie speaks OF certain men "who
welcomed Yancey at Pixies Opera-house, when
he was known to be q consprator to precipltate
the rebellion" The Gaztte ought to know
those men, for the major part OF tlem we're
then, and are now, its political friends-Re-

sect Long previous to Mr.. Yancey coming
here his arrival was anxiously expected by the
Gazttte and It's political adherents. They ex-
pected that be would denounce Mr. Douglas and
the great mass of the Democracy Snd conserv-
ative men who supported him for President Of
the United Stltes in opposition to Mr.. Lincoln.
Douglas wac Lincoln's only formidable COM
petltor, and the Republican politicians we're de-
sirous that Mr.. Yancey, BY his eloquence,
should induce men who otherwise would
| vote for him to throw their votes away
on Bfckinridge, which would be aiding end
assisting Mr.. Lincoln. They, therefore, pre-
pared 70 give Mr.. Yancey warm and cor
dial reception In this city. The Gazstte for
months delighted to copy his speeches in the
South, which were bitter diatribes against those
with whom the Democracy Of the North poli,i-
cally associated, Il petted and encouraged
Yancey and his disunion adherents in the South,
for the purpose Of weakening the Union Doug

endangered the Union, provided tnat partisan
victory was obtained. Il was hard to say, for q
time, for whom the GaSette electioneered-M
Lincoln or Mr. Breckinridge. 1t was charged,
and believed, by the Democracy Of the North,
that the expenses of the Breckinridge cam
paign and of Mr.. Yancey's electioneeriDg tour
were paid in part by the Republicans. They
crowded his meeting at Pixies Opera.house,

IT is estimated that the tax on articles Of con-

Congress, will be equal to 81 year TO each

This Is in addition to income tax and the tax

The Mileage Abuse.

ltis notorious fact that Congress
men charge extraordinary mileage
fees, and that thousands of dollars are
annually filched out of the Treasury
by those who are its constitutional
guardians. A dispatch in the Cleve-
land Leader says that the "mileage
abuse will not be interfered with this
session" The condition of the Treas
ury now, with the daily enormous
drafts upon it made necessary by the
existing war demonds that our Con-
gressmen should reform the mileage
abuse altogether. If instead of deba-
ting and discussing schemes for the ell
vation of the negroes, Congress would
reform the abuses pervading the pubs
liza service, they would please the peo-
pie better.

LabOring Men, LOOK at This.

We learn from the London, Madison
County Democrat-an organ of the
Union party-that an extensive farmer
in that county, has dicharged all the
white men in his employ, and engaged
eighteen negroes, at 124 cents each
per day. The negroes weressent from
Columbus by the Rev. Col. Maw-worm
Moody. How long will the working
men of Ohio vote with party, which
is thus striking at their means of liv-
ing degrading labor--beggaring white
men and their children? If the Eman-
cipation crime is consummated, the
state of things initiated in Madison
county, will be universal in Ohio. But
We who make mention of the facts,
cannot avert the calamity which they
portend. We can only warn the peo-
pie, with whom is the power. If they
want Ohio Africanized, honorable la
Dor niggerized, and white men and
their children pauperized, all they have
to do is vote the Republican Abolition>
Emancipation ticket Logan Gaz.

Political Priests,

What is now so generally complain
ed of against the clergy, is the prosti>
tuition of an Office which ought to be
sacred to "the high calling of God, "
to the base and unholy purpose of the
party demagogue. "What!" is the in
.dignant exclamation of some pot-house
parson, shave not a right to my po-
l!tical views? Have not the privilege
of uttering them?'' Assuredly you
have, sir, if you will do so in the char
acter of a politician, and not with the
usurped authority of the Minister of
God. Lay aside your priestly robes,
and you shall be free to spout from ev-
cry stump in the land, and none shall
call you to account. But you have no
right to mix abolition with your gospel
and transform the pulpit into a politi-
cal rostrum. All who believe in the
inspiration of Gods word, and who
look to the church as to the means of
its dissemination and 'up-building,
have right to protest, in the name of
God, against such dissertation and sac
rilege. You have right to turn poll
tician and spout Black Republicanism,
but you have no right to preach it
You may become u physician if you
choose, and administer medicine; but
it would be bad practice to administer
pills with sacramental bread, or mix
ippecac with consecrated wine. Your
congregation might need physic; but
this is not the proper time or mode of
taking it.
If your priestly calling impaired in
'fallibility to your inculcations, we
would feel obliged for your instruction,
and urge you to persistence. But as
God did not call you to this duty" he
does not at all enlighten yon in its dis
charge. He leaves you in abject,
blind, cropping ignorance. We have
conclusive evidence Of this in the fact,
that the political clergy North preach
against slavery, and the same pestilent
class in the South preach for it. The
Northern clergy cry out in Heavens s
name for the suppression of the rebel
lion; and the Southern clergy beseech
Heaven to sustain and uphold it, and
very confidently assure their dupes Of
the Divine assistance. g u
1t is inconceivable that God should
inspire his ambassadors to inculcate
views SO conflicting, clashing and If
reconcileable. But it is just like the
Devils work. 1t is just what the Adj
versary of Souls would delight in do.

Huron HEAD, May 81, 1862.
This Department has been in some excite.
ment since the promulgation of General
Hunters peculiar order about the negroes
You have ere this seen that he, in the first
place, declares "free'' all the Slaves in South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida Some of the
Colorels let the order go by without reading
1t at the head of their regiments. Others
entered their protests against it, and were
Immediately put under arrest. In the next
place the Generals order was for non. COM
mssioned officers and privates, competent for
commissioned officers in the negro regiments.
But very few offered, and they were hissed
and booted by their comrades. Not a man
could be got, for love or money, out of the
Sixth Connecticut. The Seventh sent some
few.
A very curious way ofprocuring volunteers
to fill up these negro regiments is pursued. -
Armed bodies of white soldiers were scent
out, and every able bodied negro, wherever
found, was taken and driven to Hilton Head
where they were assigned to such companies
as the commanding officer saw fit. But such
a motley, heterogeneous lot ofsoldiers, new
er saw before Not one was willing, but all
were made, to perform their duties under
compulson. Such mingled jargon, such
jabbering, never was heard except among a
tribe Of monkeys.
All the fields are deserted, and the expert
ment of ofraising cotton is upset. as the labor
ers are all gone to be soldiers.
These 1900 niggers are over in a piece oil
woods near Hilton Head, and you might as
we'll undertake to drill and discipline flock
OF sheep. They either do not know, or will
not, or more probably can not, learn. The
attempt will prove futile, and be the means
OF preventing the raising of food by the
negroes, and Uncle Sam will bave TO feed
them.
The proclamation of Abraham Lincoln
came by the last mail, and it was hailed here
with the greatest expression ofjoy. 1t lifted
load from off the minds Of every true Union
man. You can rest assured that the Aboli-
tion scheme, unchecked would have disor-
ganized this whole division. One entire
regiment refused to go into the field OF battle
on that issue, and | heard many officers, who
are good, strong Republicans, say that if the
plan was carried out they should resign
They can not Abolitionize this army. They
may as well give up that job.

What is TO be AbOI-
lshed after Slavery-.PrObabIy
the Christian Religion.

1t may not have occurred to the
reader, as it often has to us, to inquire,
What is to be abolished next, after
Slavery shall have been extirpated?-
We are apt to associate abolition
exclusively with the removal or
destruction of slavery. But this is
error. Abolitionism is the consequence
Of peculiar mental and moral confor-
nation or training, and its relation to
slavery is not necessary, but only ac-
cidental. If there were no slavery,
abolitionism would find something else
upon which to exercise its propensity
to dear down and destroy. 1t is not
impossible that Slavery will speedily
be abolished. We do not look for it.
But such a thing may be. 1t certain
ly will, if the radicals can effect it.
What next? This is an interesting in
quiry, and we are not without the
means of answering with proximate ac-
curacy. When slavery shall have been
removed, we do not question that THE
ABOLITION OF Christianity is set
down on the programme as the next
great achievement to be made. a
1t is known that avowed infdelity
predominates largely in the abolition
leadership; and those who are not open
ly infdel, are silent only through mo-
tiycs of expediency. Indeed. aboli-
tionism is PER Sc infdelity. 1t is a
practical denial of the goverance of
God. 1t is an arraignment of the
Divine Providence. 1t is the Jacobin
worship of human Reason, though the
forms and ceremonies may be dissimi-
lar, and though the strumphet who per-
sonifes the goddess, be secluded in a
chamber, instead of being borne in
chariot through the street.
We happen to have at hand the pro-
ceedings of an abolition meeting in
New York in May, 1858, which fully
confirms our statement and conjectures.
This meeting was only one of many, of
IuO SAINT Sihld dCCCl, dllLuutCu Wy IuC
same internal spirit and intent. ..
Rev. Mr.. Mayo said, "the American
Church is the cornerstone of all the
tyrannies in the land" 1t will be re-
membered that this was the year of the
great Religious Awakening, as it was
called. Parker Pillsbury took occa-
sion to remark: "I wonder what pecu-
liar diabolism is intended by this late
revival. These remarkable revivals
always preceded some great national
villiany. Some deed of damning dark
ness was to follow the revival of 1858"
Mr.. Wright said: "The bible is no au-
thority to me on any subject, but not
at any rate on the subject of slavery.
If the bible was in favor of slavery,
then the bible was a self>evident lie;
and if the author of that book-call
him God or Christ, or what you will
sanctioned slavery, then he was self
evident, self-convicted liar
But this is enough. It shows the
character of the meeting. 1t is key
to abolitionism. How can Christian
men fellowship with these monsters?-
How can they be deluded as to their
purposes?-[Logan Gazette.

A Michigan Republican Member
of Congress Thinks More of
the Union than he does of Sla-

the Union than tle does of Sla-
| very. .
| Mr.. Granger, Republican member oI
| Congress from Michigan has been paying
some regard to his constitutional obligations
as we'll as to the pledges OF his party. This
in the opinion of some of his constituents, is
an unpardonuble sin, and the Detroit AaUcr-
tiser does not hesitate to pronounce him a
political hereto. TO this he has written a
bre and hasty reply, from which we extract
tht iOllowing:--
"I am glad to know that my course in
Congress receives the appreciation Of those
whose opinions I would respect, and can
assure you that, whatever my fate may be
politically, | ould stand by my convictions
of right. A war proiessedly for the Consttu
ton should not trample upon any precepts or
guarantees, nor ignore its sanctity.
"Upon that solemn enunciation, which de-
clared that Congress had no right to inter
fere with the local institutions of the States,
was nominated for the seat now occupy.
With went before the people, by its sane
ton was elected, and so long as | continue
here by virtue of that election | Twill, so help
me God, stand to and abide by it. .'e
the gratifying assurance that the rebellion is
nearly closed out. we have frequently been
admonisbed by members on this floor that
we should hasten to secure the fruits OF the
war! What fruits, | would ask in the name
Of God and my country, have we right to
claim from this war other than constitution
indicated, flag untarnished, government
restored to its majesty and supremacy, a
Union fiaternized, cemented, glorious and
perpetuated and new guarantee in behalf
of civil liberty and benefcent government
throughout the world?
"These are the only legitimate fruits OF
the war that have felt myself privileged to
anticipate, and these glorious fruits, amply
sufficient in my opinion to fully compensate
for all the immense cost of the war, we aOiH
secure if we are permitted to close out this
session of Congress before those who profess
to be the only true friends Of the government
shall commit treason. If Congress would
finish up the legislation necessary to carry on
the war and adjourn, it would, in my opin
ion, be the very best thing that could hap
pen to the country. .#.' ..'
II have read, without lamentation or re
gret, the frequent attacks lately made upon
me by the Adverttser. Let them howl and
snazl and play dog ifthey will, don't care
tow string SO long as can feel that | am
right and my course approved by men oI
sense. r.N f Hr.
IL have but little ambition politically, not
enough to cause me to turn Abolitionist or
ignore my convictions of expediency and
sound policy, certainly not enough to induce
me to violate that solemn oath which took
upon myself at the moment of entering
upon my Congressional duties. My course
is fixed as indicated by my record, and can
assure YOU that cannot be swerved from il
by any thing that that institution can prom
| ise or threaten"
