Beautiful Consistency,

N~NN~--~-
We find the following delightful morceau in a
late number of the Delaware Rtpubhcan!
A SEcEsH ORGAN SILENcEp-A correspon-
dent from this equity, now in the Anderson
Troop, stationed at Carlisle, states that, on Sat.
urday night last two hundred of the men at
tached to his corps, in company with number
OF the citizens Of the place, made short work of
the "Anlefrcaa Volunteer" Breckenridge COP.
per-head concern, printed in that town The
paper, on the day previous, published most
reasonable article, which so incensed the peo-
pie, that they resolved that it should no longer
be issued in their midst. They repaired to the
office in body, destroyed the press, and threw
the type out of the windows. This summary
way OF treating secession ought to have sau-
tary effect upon traitors everywhere
We are astounded that any intelligent editor
(Which we know our friend Walter to be) should
be so obtuse in his conceptions of right and JUS
tice, as to suffer an article like the above to ap-
pear in his paper. Mr.. Walters heart, we are
convinced, docs not respond in one single pulsa-
tion to the sentiment expressed in this editorial.
We know him to be SO filled with the s.milk of
human Kindness" that his pity cannot find OBJ
jects of sympathy in his own state and section,
bu. stretches out afar, even unto the slave-trod-
den fields of the South, in its humane search a.
ter something upon which it may be worthily
lavished. This enlarged humanity is brought
out in its true colors in an editorial in the COL
umn next to that in which is printed the article
copied above. In this last the humanitarian
editor comments on the recent arrest of Rev. c.
A. Hay, of Harrisburg, by order of Gen. Wool,
and says
"We protest, in the name of the people a.
Sanst such arbitrary proceedings on the part of
the military. IF they are permitted, no man is
safe in civil life"
There! that's the spirit of "a man and
BROTHER" and free man, too! We think the
first article was written in Pickwickian sense,
or else, perhaps, it was prompted by the fact
that the Carlisle Volunteer is Democratic pa
per. The manly indignation expressed in the
other article in regard to the arrest of Dr. Hay,
may, too, have been excited on account of the
reverend victim being an Abolitionist. AT any
rate, it is one thing with the editor of the Re-
publican, to ''gut' a Democratic printing office,
and quite another to arrest an Abolition preacher
e3-Some of our Abolition exchanges talk most
ghbly about the probability of the Governor is
suing certificates of election to certain def Gated
Abolition candidates for Congress, on the ground
that the army vote would elect them Gov.
Curtin knows better than to do this 1t is not
his province to decide who is elected, OF to give
| certificates of election. The return Judges of
the several districts give certificates to the per-
sons elected. The Governor merely announce S,
in accordance with the count made by such re-
turn judges, who are thus elected. So, you per-
ceive, Messrs. Abolitionists, your certificate op-

The rebels occupying Fredericksburg,
have demanded further time to consider
the question Of its surrender. On Friday
night after the interview with the civil
authorities, Gen Sumner said If they had
any further communication to make Gen.
Patrick, Provost Marshal, wonlb visit
them again next morning. On Saturday
accordingly, the Mayor and council
came over accompanied by Calkershaw,
Bland and Capt. King, of Georgia. The
officers claimed that the civil authorities
could make no propositions unless the
same were authorized BY the military =
Gen. Patrick declined to receive their Of
ficers, but subsequently asscnted to their
reception, and the parties returned. Inc
civil authorities asked for an extension
Of the time allowed for the removal OF
the women and children, alleging that
the trains had been thrown off by our mr.
tllery, and that il would be impossible for
train to leave before night, the city be-
ing entirely destitute Of other means OF
transportation. This request was com,
plied with, and the time extended until
