Who CAUSED THE wAR.-Forney in the Phil
adelphia Press says; .........
Andrew Johnston Is as bold in denouncing
treason in Nashville as he was in Washington.
He does not hesitate, as some OF our Northern
politicians do, when seeking to find the authors
of our calamities. In Tennessee he could safely
locate this responsibility upon the Abolitionists
and Black Republicans; he could initiate the
Breckinridgers Of Pennsylvania and other free
States by criticising and condemning Republi-
can legislation. Disdaining all such shallow
tricks, however, he tells the rebels that II was
not MIR. Lincoln and his friends who refused all
compromise, but the Secession leaders, and that
these latter could have carried the Critienden
proposition IL they had not persistently deter
mined TO break up the Government, and to dis
olive the Union. When the day Of reckoning
comes-when the public stewards go before the
people to render on account, Andrew Johnson's
words will drive the plausible falsehoods OF the
Breckinridgers away, like so much chaf driven
bya whirlwind.

quarts of small potatoes each morning and
two quarts of corn and oat>meal each even

out well in the spring. The manure OF The

other four animals were TIED in The same
stable next to the first four, and received
only hay and corn fodder. Their manure
was thrown out by itself al the next stable

the two heaps lay side by side. The heap
that was made by the first tour cows that
were daily messed with potatoes and meal,
kept hot and smoking all winter, and was
wholly free from frost. The heap made by

Gov. LETcHRR's MESSAGE On the 9th
his message 10. the Legislature OF the State
accom- panied with letter from Governor
Brown, and the joint resolutions recently
adopted by the Legislature of Georgia, in
which they declare tha, the separation ofthe
latter Stale ''is final and irrevocable, and
that they will, under no circumstances, en-
tertain any proposition from any quarter
which may have for its object restoration
or reconstruction of the old Union on any
terms or conditions whatever"
The message is an extraordinary State
paper :" portion OF it initiates the style OF
our Declaration of independence, suosliiu-
ting The name of President Lincoln for
George the Third, in setting forth his griev-
ances. The Governor is full of fight, aud
manifests a spirit OF reckless daring and
determination TO conquer or die. One OF
his closing paragraphs is the following;
"The occurrences of the pas. nine months
have demonst rated conclusively that we
cannot live ;ogeiher as equals under the
Government of the United States; and the
habitual violation of the provisions OF the
Constitution, and the open disregard of the
laws by President Lincoln and his officials,
render governmental association between
Us impossible. Mutual confidence has
been succeeded by mutual distrust, and
mutual good will by mutual aversion. No
government eau be enduring which does
not possess the affection and respeci of the
governed. II cannot be that the people of
the Confederate States can again cetertain
a feeling of affection and respect for the
Government OF the United States. We
have, therefore. separated from them and
now le: il be understood that the separation
sis and ought to be finai and ir.evocable"
that Virginia will under no circumstances,
entertain any proposition, from any quar-.
ter, which may have for lis object resto-
ration or reconstruction of The late Uriou,
on any terms and conditions whatever"

"HoH. Simon Cameron Retired"

How the Republicans try to smooth over
Camerons removal from the Cabinet They
say he only "retired" Thai.sonnds very
nice, but there are many who will not swal-
low such mis,e presentation. He was COM
PEELED TO resign. The Sunbury American,
one of Cameron's tools seems 10 speak as
ii were by authority when il says:
"Gen. Cameron, we know, contemplated
months ago reliring from the laborious and
responsible duties of the War Department
as soon as he could conveniently do So"
Strange that Slmon could not find it "con-
venient 10 do go 4" until he had his pockets
and those of his friends well lineG.. and The
Government well nigh broke up by robbng
the Treasury! Cameron could no longer
stand the storm of public indignation that
was gathering round him. His place is now
filed by MIR. Stanton, democrat. What a
commentary upon the Republican party,
when they must take a democrat into the
Cabinet!
The Harrisburg Telegraph, one OF the
meanesI and most unscrupaous Abolition
papers in the State, and one of Cameron e
leading TOOLS says:
"Amoug the immediate friends Of the
distinguished ex-Secreiary ofWar, il is vel
understood that he occupied that posit on
with great reluctance, and that it has been
his determination Tor a long time to retire
from that department as soon as he had ac-
complished all the good in ihis power, iol
the immediate organization of The army and
the future success OF the. struggle to crust
/ the rebellion"
AS soon as he had accomplished all the
good I" Just see with what impudent com
! placency these Republicans can talk abou

Breathless and blue stood Sixty-two
On The brink of Times great ocean,
Where together the Past and the future are

IN world OF wild connection.
The little poor fellow looked blue and yel.

With frost and with fear he shivered,
As wave on wave did roar and rave,

As out of the spray he struggled,
With battred legs and bleeding feet,
And sal: hair ooZe bedraggled.
Jump ini Jump in! The waves beat strong
The Spring-tid runs brimmer,
The sky is dark and the night is long,
Brave time for sturdy swimmer
" Now out and alas p' said Sixty two,

Oh, woe is me that my lot should be

And never pilot star,
Only the white OF the foam cres. bright,
And the har5or lamps afar.

TuE GARDENER AND THE MOLE.

The mole said meekly iii reply,
aIt was my star il was mol |,
To undermine is mole's commission,
We hold il justly from tradition,
And all the earth that lies near ours
I, given Us by the Higher Powers
We hear OF coonIes and OF hares,
But when commit We ihei,s like theirs!
We never touch the flowers that blow,
And ouly bulbs that Iurk below.
sTis true, where we have run. The ground
Is raised rifle, not quite soundi
Yet after lew days OF rain,
Level and firm il lies again.
Wise men ike you will rather walt
For these than argue against late,
And Quarrel with us nioles because
We simply follow Nature 5 Jaws.
We raise the turf 10 keep US warm,
Surely in this ye see no harm;
Ye break il up 10 set theteon

Do not these very WORMS eat met
We never kill or wound brother,
Men kill by thousands one another:
Aud though ye swear ye wish Tor peace,

Such home- brought truths The gardener,
Though mud by nature, could not bear,
And lest the mole might more have said
He chopped lis head off with the spade.
