R1rOf all the sad spectncles, an aimless
civil war is the saddest. The curse of the
South American revelations has been, that
they settled no question. Suppose the re-
suit of this war shall be to "restore the
Union as it was"-what shall we have
gained? After all our outpouring os blood
and treasure, we shall be Just where we
were before, and with no better assurance
of lasting peace. But if we root out the
cause of discard, that will indemnity for
the past and security for the future
Chicago Tribune.
Such are the views of the leading Repub
lican paper of the West.
And that such are the views of the mass
of the Republican party, is indicated by
private conversation with m EN- bers of that
party, and by the fact that the Chicago
Tribune has the largest circulation of any
Republican paper in the State.
This organ Of Republicanism substauti TALLY
declares that the object of the war is for
the abQlition of slavery. and that j, does
not desire to see the Union restored asWash.
iretoD and the patriots Of the revolution
made it. 1t also is in favor of carrying On
The war for the purpose Of freeing the res
g:oes, and will not consent to any ccmpro-
mise orpeace propositions until this shall
have been accom- lished
We contend that the papers and the men
who advocate this abolition policy, are the
worst and most dangerous enemies of the
Union and the Government. They are
doing more for the rebels than the latter are
doing for themselves. The Ab1li tionists
have labored for twenty years to bring
about the state of things now existing; and
the great danger now is. that they will
succeed still farther in their nefariOus work.
If they do, and the Ada,inistra ton contin-
ues to follow ont their policy, farewell to the
U"ion an to constitutional liberty. Let
patriotic men think Of this; and unite
with the Democratic party in putting down
and crushing out the dangerous heresy of
abolitionism.

9The Republican State Treasurer OF
Michigan has been sentenced to the peni-
tentiary for embezzling money from the
treasury of that State. By the rule adopt

The shin Canal.

We give in to- days paper, the report Of
the committee in the i5wer house or Con-
gress in favor Of the enlargement of the lii
nois and Michigan, Canal The report was
prepared by Mr.. ArnolI Of Chicago. and
presents facts calculated to commend the
project to the approval Of every citizen of
the northeast and northwest.
Mr.. Arnth Is laboring maufully in be-
halfof THE great work. lie bias applied
himself to his duties as becomes faithful
representative of the interests ofthe people.
Instead Of making Addition speeches aud
agitating exciting sectional issues, his eff
forts have been directed to the promotion q
our national interests ard rational defen-
ees.
Would that we could say as much for
Loveiny, our own Congressman. Though
this Congressional district would be more
immediately benefited by the enlargement
Of the canal than any ether portion of the
country, LovejoI has paid no attention tc
the matter. His time and talents have
been occupied in pleading for the freedom
Of the negroes. No other subject seems tC
enter his head. lie never rises in tht
House to speak, unless the negro is attend
ed to. In fact be does not represent thu
interests of white men a: all. lie is emphat
icaliy the Negroes champion, and will moi
for moment leave his sable friends to at
tend to the great interests cf the nation
The ship canal and a happy, prosperous
united country, are nothing to him SO ion,
as the negroes are held 10 bondage II tia
bill for the enlargement of the canal b
not adopted, the constituents Of Loveio,
will bold him responsible.
Still, we have hope, Notwithstanding tn
neglect of LOvejoy and Trumbull, tina
Congress will not adjourn without provid
ing for this great national work. The pre-
position is said to be gaining friends rapid
! ly. lfCongress can only leave the negr
alone where he is long enough to conside
the wants Of the country, we shall be a
right yet at least SO far as the ship cana!
concerned.

An Honest Admission.

Mr.. Dawes, Republican member Of
Congress from Massachusetts, declared in
debate the other day that There had been
more money stolen from the Treasury, du.
ring the first year Of Republican rule than
was taken during the whole four years Of
Buch aHan's Administration.
This is an admissionto be marked and
remembered. When the Republicans talk
about the plnnderings of Floyd, Cobb L
Co., let them also be reminded of the pilfer.
ing Of Cameron, Fremont Co. These
latter thieves skunk the old ones entirely.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN.

4 Col RUsT.-Col. John D. Rust, Of the
Eighth Regiment, was in town yesterday, and
leaves this morning to join his regiment at
Hilton Head. Col. r. came home on a short
furlough, on account of i'll health. He is still
far from being well, but a stern sense of duty
impels him to go. He says now is the time,
the country needs his service, and SO long as
he can lift his sword he intends to be at his
post. Col. Rust is brave soldier and true
gentleman, and the best wishes of numerous
friends attend him.
NE-Maj. Mann arrived in this city on
Monday of this week. He will return to
Washington in few days.
GEN. JAMESON is still in New York and
may not reach Maine for several DAYS. The
report of his arrival here on Monday, was of
course, premature.

Maine Seventh, leaves this morning for the

CURIOUS NoTIoN.-A stranger in this city
took queer idea into his head to step into the
Chief Marshalls office, and under the guise of
seeking for information, chose to introduce
language Of an unbecoming character. The
Marshal, surprised at the audacity of the fool
ish fellow, answered his questions pleasantly,
but at the same time did not much enjoy the
spirit of vituperation manifested, and quietly
told him to be off. At this, defiance flashed
from the eyes of the unwise stranger, and
oaths rolled from his tongue. Up jumped the
Chief of Police, and off started the intruder,
bounding DER the sidewalks of Myrtle Street
like a frightened deer. One pair of legs, how
ever were no match for six pair belonging to
the Marshal and his posse, and in consequence
the man was brought back, and accommodated
with cage. "Daniel in the lions den, few
days, few days."

staff, was MORALLY shot in the breast. Sunday
night, about IL o'clock, while Gems Pope and
Banks were in conference in the rear of our
advance batteries, a body of rebel cavalry
charged in most daring manner through the
woods upon the group The discharge of
muskets and the whizzing of bullets near them,
gave timely notice of the rebel approach. The
horses were speedily mounted, and regiment
of infantry fired volley, checking the charge
and probably saving both commanders. Gen.
Buford with his cavalry, arrived at Culpepper
yesterday. Previous TO his departure from
Madison, he sent a accommodating party to the
Rappidan, where he found force of the enemy
on the South but none on the North side of the
river. dispatch from Culpepper to-day says

Cloud and Saton, started with the Sd Wiscon-

expedition was abandoned because of the in
sutficiency of water, and returned to Helena
