contractors and the interested partizans of
the powers that be, they are the yeriest
shams and quacks unless their system has
a foundation in the laws of nature and
squares with the immutable attributes of
the Creator. The establishment of the
American Federal Republic upon the basis
of a popular fraternity, to preserve indi-
vidual liberty, and to defend the constitu-
tional rights of it's citizens from arbitrary
power, is the noblest monument of civili-
cation ever reared by man. AS this glori-
GUS structure was not raised through war
or conquest, but in spirit of compromise
and concession, it can only lie preserved
by a careful observance Of the principles
of justice, equity and fairness by each
member of the Confederacy. Sectional
strife must weaken its foundation but
civil war blasts it, root and branch. In
the language Of the great Douglas: "War
is eternal disunion."
: We understand the Democrats to be in
favor of any means to restore the Union
of the Fathers, or to bring about condi-
ton Of affairs as near as possible to the
old statu quo. Will continuance of the
present war effect this object? For one,
we cannot see the slightest hope of the
preservation of anything worth preserving
through war; while we sincerely believe
that the people North and South would
gladly hail the restoration of peace as the
means through which harmony and Union
might again be restored.

AN ARREST IN THIS CoUNTY-On Monday last
MIR. Sheriff Bouldin arrested young man sup
posed to be the individual who assaulted and
badly wounded an Italian named Stornoni,
about IL o'clock on Friday night of last week,
in the city of Baltimore. 1t appears that the
assault was made at the confectionery and fruit
store of Stornoni, on Lombard street, and with
out the slightest provocation. The party arrest
ed is also an Italian, and fencing-m master by
profession, and answers well the description of
tue party who committed this cold-blooded out
rage. He arrived in this town about 8 O. clock
on Saturday morning last, and stated that he
had walked from Baltimore the night before
He is young man, apparently not more than
twenty-four or twenty-five years old, quite de-
Gently dressed, and about FIVE feet nine or ten
inches in height. The Sheriff Immediately took
steps to discover whether he was the guilty par
ty, and on Wednesday he was recognized by the
Baltimore police as the person who committed
the assault, and was taken by them to Baltimore
Oh Thursday morning.

DEATH OF THE Rev. JOHN HERsEY .-The hume
rous friends of the Rev. John Jersey, in this
county, will learn with regret that he departed
this life at Penningtonville, Chester county,
Penn, on the 18th instant, in the nth year Of
his age. Mr.. Hersey was we'll known in this
county, and greatly respected as sincere and
exemplary Christian. The Baltimore Sun, in re-
cording his death, says:
Mr.. Hersey was local minister of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, but Travelled extensively
in various States of the Union he also visited
Africa some years since as missionary. In
this city he labored for several years as a home
missionary, and extended valuable relief to the
poor and destitute. He was the author of sever
al volumes, embodying his views of religion and
practical economy. Recently being impressed
that his end was near he prepared his last publi-
cation, and bidding an affectionate farewell to
bis Baltimore friends be repaired to the residence
ofa friend to spend bis last days, where he died
in peace and was Inferred in the Methodist bury
ing-grourd. His manner of life was abstemious
and marked by great selfdenial his piety was
Of the most decided character and his benevo-
lence knew no bounds except his limited means.

The ADMINISTRATION AS VIEWED BY
It's FRIENDs.-Thcre has never been
Congress assembled with which we have
had any acquaintance, in which it was
more easy to thrust through measures
without consideration, without debate, i'll
advised and to the prejudice of the coun-
try, than the present DIN, Republican
member Of the last Congress. .
The LARCENIEs PRAcTIsED UNDER
THIS ADMINISTRATION have exceeded the
entire expenditures of James Buchanan,
as VIGOROUSLY profigate as that was
Daaoes, Republican Congressman from
Massachusetts.
l declare upon my own responsibility
as Senator, that the liberties of this
country are in greater danger to-day from
the corruptions, and from the profigacy
practised in the various Departments of
the Government, than they are from the
enemy in the open field. r. Hale. h

A DREADFUL CHANGE FOR THE WORSE.
The Suspended Sword,
A Washington despatch says

n washington aeSpatcn says:
"Simon Draper, the Provost Marshal
General, is in this city Washington ,
perfecting his arrangements for arresting
persons under martial law. In converse
ton, to-day, with more than one of the
chief officers of the Government, he said
"John Van Buren, ought to be arrested,
and | would do itat once, but that l think
it would be bad policy to- arrest him until
after the election in the State of New
York; He added: eff I should do it
before the election it would have DANA
ging effect upon Wadsworth."
The secret of the temporary lull in the
arbitrary course of the Administration is,
then, the fear of the peoples instant re-
probation at the polls. The elections
over-at least if the Republican party is
successful-and the political prisons will
be again crowded with the victims of 20.
litical hatred-the martyrs of freedom,
such as filled the dungeons of Naples in
the reign of Bomba.

free and loyal citizens are 10 danger Of
losing their liberties, if you do not crush

saF The N. Y.'journals are amusing
themselves with statement that the Brit
ish Government is about to pursue and
capture the Confederate steamer Alabama
for the destruction of British property in
American bottoms. In the first place the
principle that the goods of neutral on
board an enemys ship are free of capture
is not a universally admitted law of ma
tions, but has been made in some cases
treaty stipulation. Great Britain cannot
therefore complain of the Confederate
States acting upon the contrary doctrine.
And in the second place, if wrong has
been done by the. alabama, the Federal
Government is responsible for it, because
it claims the people of the Confederate
States to be still its citizens, in rebellion it
is true, but still subject to its authority.
The British Government could not hold
the Confederate States responsible for any
wrong, until it had acknowledged their
independence until that time it knows
them as belligerents but not as separate
power. The United States, SO long as the
independence of the Confederacy is unac-
knowledged, are just as much liable to
neutral nations for injuries done by its
cruisers as for those done by their own

THE News FROM EURoPE.-England
Declines to Mediate IN american Affairs.
By the arrival of the steamer Arabia VIC
have later advices from Europe. The
most important intelligence is the an
nouncement of the fact that the Emperor
of France had. proposed to the British gov
eminent to mediate in American affairs
and that the proposal had been rejected.
Earl Russells official reply assumes
that there was no ground at the time of
writing (Nov. 49, to hope that the Fed
eral government would accept the 'propo-
sal suggested, and refusal would prevent
any speedy renewal of the offer, and
therefore considers it better to watch the
progress of public opinion in this country,
and if it is found to undergo any change,
then the British government may avail of
such change to offer friendly counsel with
better prospect of being accepted by both
parties.

WAR NEWS.

An order has been issued from the War De-
partment for the release of all persons now I'M
der arrest on the charge of dscouraging enlist
ments. The same order also authorizes the dis
charge ofsuch persons as have been arrested by
the loyal Governors or military authorities in the
States in rebellion, the parties so released to give
their parole to do no act of hostility against the
to its enemies, and to remain subject to military
surveillance. The order does not apply to any
person who has been in arms against the govern
ment.
1t is reported that the Confederates are twenty
thousand strong at Murfreesboro', Tennessee,
and that large bodies of cavalry have been sent
to obstruct the navigation of the Cumberland
river.
Interesting intelligence is received from the
Lower Mississippi. The town of Port Hudson,
one hundred and twenty miles above New Or
leans, is being fortified by the Confederates with
view of preventing the ascent of the Federal
fleet 10 Vicksburg, and also to protect the salt
works on the Red river. Port Hudson is on the
left bank of the Mississippi at the terminus of the
Clinton and Port Hudson railroad, and place
of considerable commercial Importance.
1t is believed that the position can be made as
strong as that of Vicksburg
On Wednesday last Fort McAllister, on the
Ogeeche river, Georgia, was attacked by the
Federal gunboats, who after a brisk engagement,
retired.
Considerable excitement was created in Wash
ington on Saturday by the report that the Con-
federate General Jackson was moving on that
city. This report was subsequently contradicted
by another, which states that jackson is march
ing to join Gen. Lee before Fredericksburg
Leesburg, Warrenton and Centreville were occu-
pied by Confederate cavalry on Friday, the Fed
eral outposts retiring before the advance of the
Southern troops.
A despatch from Nashville, dated Saturday,
says that heavy cannonading was heard in the
direction of lebanon on that day, but the cause
was not known. Gen. Bragg, it was reported,
was moving on Murfrecsboro', and not falling
back, as previously stated. 1t is also reported
that Gen. Breckinridge's division has occupied
Shelbyville. General Kirby Smiths forces were
crossing the Tennessee river on Thursday
The Attorney General of the United States
will soon issue specific instructions to district at
torneys and marshals for carrying out the pro-
visions of the confscation act. The President
has ordered the military authorities to support
such officers in the discharge of their duties.
Another report concerning the strength of the
Confederate forces in the Southwest comes en-
bodied in despatch from Nashville According
to this, the latest statement there is Confeder-
ate brigade of 5000 men at Shelbyville under
ecu Johnson; there are $1,000 Confederates at
Tullahoma and 60, 900 between Chattanooga and
Murfreesboro', against which latter point they
are, it is rumored, sending their siege guns

There have been mistakes There have
been speculations. Weak men have dis

Frauds at Washington.

The Chicago Tribune is one of the most

stripe. Here is what its Washington cor
respondent writes to it of the state of af-
fairs at the Capital:
"The tone of morality here is consider
ably lower than it ever has been before
This is admitted on all hands, and can be
proved, or, rather, needs no proof, for the

another similarly situated hanged himself

The frauds and attempted frauds in

quarters, that Que is bewildered in con-
templating them. Yet nobody has been

possible that anybody should be brought

tricts. For every dollar wrongfully taken
by a contractor, .fve hare been taken By
