In order to put down the rebellion. He
would not discuss whether Fire Eaters or
Abolitionists brought on the war. Rebels
were in arms against the Government. Let

EDITOR JoURNAL:-We had speech here
to-day from the Hon. John Law, on his re-
turn from serving has country at Washington
City, to his constituents. He called it a
war speech. call it anti-war speech. l
call it a seditious speech. he pretended
that it was made to encourage enlistments.
say its effect was to discourage volunteer
ing, if it was not made for that very pur-
pose. And everybody but the 9Th of jan
uary democrats agree with me- His whole
effort was devoted to an abuse OF the Con-
gress in which he has been serving; to
showing that Lincoln and his cabinet are
abolitionists, and to proving that the Tax
Law is an outrage upon the people. The
only redeeming feature about the thing was
its utter weakness. The Hon. Judge then
tried to do all the harm he could, but he is
such miserable driviller that am inclined
to believe be did not accomplish much. In

EDITS. JoURNAL:-The cavalry company
recruited in this county, upon the authority
of Gov. Morton, embark to-day for their
place of rendezvous, ninety strong. The COM
pany was recruited by Captain G. G. Mason,
of Grandview, in less than two weeks, and

been for the rapid enlistment in the cav
airy company. he would have been in camp

In order to carry into effect the recent
order of the President about absent officers
and soldiers, notice is hereby given that all
soldiers who have furloughs from any of
the hospitals at Evansville or Mt. Vernon,
or from the (now broken up hospitals of
Henderson, Newburg, Terre Haute, or VIM
cennes, and all soldiers who have left any
ofthe above named hospitals without leave,
or at the time Of the raid of the rebel thief
Johnson were scattered through the coun-
try, must report within ten days from this
date, IN person, to- the Medical Director at
Evansville, or they will be considered as
deserters, be liable to arrest, and lose all
Their pay. This affords the last opportunity
for all men absent from the hospitals of
this section, and scattered about the coun-
try, to return. Mayors, Chiefs of Police,
Sheriffs, Postmasters, and Justices of the
Peace, are authorized by the order of the
President to assist in this matter, and it is
hoped they will report to the Medical Di-
rector all instances in their neighborhood
of eovards who are skulking about the
country, too faint-hearted to meet the enc
my, and go mean that they wear the clothes
of soldier, while they are cheating the
army of the little good that might be de-
rived from their services. is

recent news in regard to it to communicate
Before l left, the Colonel delivered them An
address in relation to the question OF re.en-
listing; which, no doubt, had the desired ef.
feet. am glad to learn that a large proper
ton Of the regiment intend to re enlist. The
men are no doubt governed by patriotic mo-
tives, and they would as lief see the devil
coming as a draft. They have no idea Of be
ing forced to defend themselves and their
families from the invader.
l am at present in the village of Lenoir,
Caldwell county. Lenoir is a much better
town than | expected to find. The citizens
are intelligent and enterprising. The Epis.
copalians, Presbyterians and Methodists, all
have neat and commodiOus churches in which
to worship. Davenport Female College I'm.
der the patronage Of the S. G. Conference,
has been a thriving institution under the su.
perintendence of Rev. III. M. Mood. The
buildings are beautiful and spacious, and the
site is unsurpassed within my knowledge.

FoR TIE SPIRIT OF TIE AGE.
LACUN.

Our incomes should be like our shoes if
too small, they viii gall and pinch us, and if
too large, they will cause US to stumble and
to trip. But wealth, after all, is a relative
thing: since he that has little, and wants less,
is richer than he that has much, but wants
more. True contentment depends not upon
what we have, but Upon what we would
have a tub was large enough for Diogenes,
but a world was too little for Alexander.
1t is true practical wisdom to make the
faults of others serve as so many beacons to
warn as from the rocks and shoals on which
they have been wrecked.
The north pole is the holy mountain of the
Eastern nations, the fabulous Meru of the
Hindoos. the KAT of Arabian m~ythologists,
and perhaps the real prototype of the Gre
clan Olympus. When will the sun of science
dissipate this cloud of ignorance
All men now worship gold, all other rev.
erence being done away so venal is the age
become, that nothing is respected but wealth
and its possessors.
Gold loves to make it's way through the
midst of guards and attendants, and, more
powerful than thunder, it forces a passage
through the strongest barriers, through the
hardest rocks, through stone walls.
I" stronger than thunder's winged force,
All powerful gold can speed its course,
Through Watchful guards it's passage Make
And loves through solid walls to break
If gold can resist all these instructions,
what effect will the whiskey ordinance of the
Convention have ip suppressing these minis
of gold, the distilleries?
1t is a great folly to think of being wise
alone; none but a fool can suppose that he
has a monopoly of good sense.
Skepticism and curiosity are the great
springs Of knowledge but ignorance, on the
contrary, is found TO go hand in hand witt
credulity.
When your preparations are complete, |
is iniudicious to grant a further time to YOU
adversary. This lesson was not practiced a
the battle of Manassas.
The distance between a devOtee and a tru
christian, is often twice as great as that iron
the Southern Pole to Davis Straits. In
difference between hypocricy and true devo
ton, is almost Unreasonable.
Such is the mutability of fortune, that tn
lowest have something to expect, and tn
highest something to fear.

Is THIS So ?-The Iredell Express says
1--WE are informed that an opinion is prevail
ing in the country that drafted men can af-
forwards enter the volunteer service, and re-
ceive the bounty of a 800. We have been
requested to state that such is not the case,
they who are drafted will not receive any
bounty, only 81 per month"
We incline to the opinion that the infor-
mant of the Express is mistaken. A drafted
man, as ssch, is entitled to no bounty but
if after being drafted, a man shall s~volun-
teer for the war" he will receive the bounty
as all other volunteers do. We think this
is the law and the facts in the case-lf
not, they are manifestly unjust. How is it,

know.

FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.

Nix. EDITOR Again | take the privilege
of saying something through the Spirit of
the Age, concerning the great privileges
claimed by some of our people. What a
happy escape for our people has been made
by the war department. There are privileges
belonging to that authority superior to those
Of q whiskey distiller. Yes, it is right: seize
the corn and appropriate it to the benefit of
our army. Probably the whiskey distillers
will desist from their destructive business.
whereby they make money but their country
suffers, as they see the government is begin
ming to feel sore upon the evil effects Of dis
tilling grain into whiskey.
The great day of our trials and troubles
is now upon us. Our State is invaded by
the most ~unprincipled foe that any country
ever had to contend against. Every means
within our reach ought to be brought for
ward and certainly whiskey dstillers, who
love a free country to live in and enjoy its
many privileges, will lend hand in helping
to protect our land and coun ry. Remem.
Der, dear readers, that we have two powerful
armies TO contend against, one the black re
publican, the other the distillers and vendors
Of ardent spirits. Let US dispense with the
one at home Immediately, and the other al
soon as possible. Poor wretched man, tina
will spend his last dime for one drink of qchis
key. And, Mr.. Editor, in my letter of tn
9TH February, you made me say tina
"there are people near by who have Offered
to give one barrel of turpentine for one bar
rel of corn" 1t should have been one bar
rel of turpentine for one peck of corn.
