TIE OBJECT OF THE WAR.-Can any one
have any doubt as to the object Of the North in
carrying on this war against the South? In late
debate i'll the Northern Cv5gress Mr. Fessendcn,
from Maine, said:
''As the gentleman from Kentucky has referred
to me, | merely wish to say far as that question
is concerned, that so long as hold to the view to
which he has avertcd, and which | advanced as
the sentiment of the President, | much more
desire the determination of slavery than do to
see the Union restored | wish to see slavery at
end when this war shall be at an end.
In the early part of the session, Mr. Conway,
member Of Congress from Kansas, said, in
speech in the House:
" For one, shall not vote another dollar or man
for the war until it assumes different standing.
and tends directly to an anti-slavery result Mil
lions for freedom, but not one cent for slavery"
Such speeches need no comment. -

All but a few of the people arc sullen and un-
sociablc to the Llncolne horde of vandals, and
some boldly avow their sympathy with the South
cru cause. Mrs McEwen, mother-nlaw of JoiIn
Trimblc, was visited by several officers, and she
unhesitatinsly told them that she had been the
last person in Nashville to take down the Stars

doubt, much more honest than many who profess

1t is said that 5ohn Hugh Smith, prominent

John Morgan, the coward and traitor. Whereup-
on Croftop, who is an Irishman, smote Smith with
his fist between his eyes; telling him that he went
to school with Morgan, that he was a brave man
and should not be abused in his presence, for he
admired bravery even in enemy.

CoMMENDABLE ExAMPLE.-We are glad to
have it in our power to state that the Baptist
denomination of this city, on Friday, the 4th
instant, by unanimous vote, rendered their fl ne
church bell to the Confederate Government, with
view to having it cast into cannon. They have
not only done this, but they have appointed
committee, consisting of the PASTOR Rev r. F..
Skinner, and Messrs p. T. Pescud and w. J.
Palmer, to have the bell taken down and sent at
once to Fayetteville, where the cannon will DO
cast This bell weighs 1900 pounds and it is
supposed will make three six-pounder cannon, or
the half of battery. Should the other deuom-
nations owning bells follow this excellent and
patriotic example (and we cannot doubt but that
they willy there will be metal enough furnished
from this city to cast six more cannon, battery
and half altogether.-RoleiyhR Register.

BROOKLYN ITEMS.

Much Indignation continues TO be expre@ed by the
community at the late act Of extortion by the rail-
road companies. Three or four years since, the
Brooklyn City Railroad Company made strenuous
effort to obtain the permission of the City Govern
ment 10 an increase in their rate Of charges from
four to five cents per passenger After much die
cussion compromise was effected; tie Company
were permitted charge five cents for single pas
sage and agreed to furnish twenty-five tickets for
one dollar Under the fimsy preext that the new
Federal tax law allows the change, this Company
have suddenly Discontinued the practice of selling
packages of tickets, and this constituted very
large portion Of their business, they have thus I'M
fairly and oppressvey added largely to their already
ample income, at time Of general distress, and at
the same time repudiated solemn COMPACT. 1t Is
true tie other companies have done the same thing
but tie City Railroad Company If the leader IN the
business and, as it is well known to be very prof
liable concern, there is really excuse to be made
for it. 1t ia to be hoped that the City Government
will in;erpose on behalf Of the citizens Of Brooklyn,
and redress this wrong.
