THE FIRST JANUARY.

On that day, Abraham Lincoln the
seryile insurrectionist is to issue a
proclamation of emancipation to all the
slaves belonging to ''loyal' and "disloy-
all masters: if the programme Of his Bull
against the comet under date Of Sept.
%, is to be adhered to. This procla
nation if issued; except where the Fed
eral arms are acknowledged supreme
will be wholly imperative. Under it
we may abolish slavery in Missouri,
Kentucky, part Of Tenn. Western Viz
ginia and in Maryland.
What its social results will be in
such States no human being can posi-
lively determine. That it will be an
invitation for the slaves in those States,
if impeded in their ideas Of perfect
freedom, to commence an indlscrimi
nate massacre Of all conditions ages
and sexes; that it will be an absolute
license from the President inviting to
seryile insurrection, with all it's horrible
crimes in DETAIL that it will be followed
by murder, arson, burglary, rape, theft,
robberiers, midnight assassinations and
incendiarisms, no man acquainted with
the negro nature and character will
attempt to deny.
In his Springfield speech after the
breaking out Of the rebellion, Judge
Douglas said:
"Iwill never sanction nor acquiesce
, in any warfare whatever upon the con
stituional rights or domestic institution
of the people Of the Southern States
(Applause.) On the contrary, if there
was an attempt to invade those rights
to stir up servile insurrection among
their people. I would rush to their res
: cue, and interfere with whatever q
: strength might possess, to defend thei
! from such acalamity:"
s We endorse every word and syllable
n of this, holding ourselves ready to rus
a to the rescue of innocent women an
J. children from the indiscriminate mas
n sacre Of ruthless barbarians whethe
T. instigated to deeds Of cruelty by Littl
n Crow, or Abraham Iincoln.

THE GREAT DISASTER.

Since our article of last week we
have seen nothing to materially change
our estimate of the seriousness of that
most disastrous event before Freder-
icksburg. On the contrary, every
thing seems to confirm and sanction all
we then said. As one result of that
most disastrous clash Of arms. was the
resignation ofnearly the whole Of the
present fanatical and most reasonable
Cabinet, though the President refused
to do the country so great good as to
accept their designations.
The only thing we regret in this con-
nexion is that the reported retiracy of
the Cabinet was not accepted. That
a Cabinet of such men should have
been called as the legal and confden-
tial advisers Of the President was a
national calamity only second in mag
ullu lc W lllc CleCLlol Oh AUIilld III
Lincoln. What the complexion of the
new Cabinet would have been is Of
course matter Of speculation, but one
thing the people might relied upon:
that not single union man, not an in
1ividual that had unler all circum-
stances and at all times upheld the
Constitution and obeyed the laws, would
have been called upon as a consti:u-
tional adviser of the President. Fanat-
iclsm has brought upon the country
the long train of calamities that for the
past two years: like an avalanche has
been overwhelming the nation with its
blighting curse, and now we greatly
fear that the President would not for
sake the Internal work commenced un-
der the auspices of a fanatical organ
ization in the North, for the avowel
purpose of destroying the domestic in
situations of one half the States, or
failing in that dissolving the Ameri
can Union, the best heritage Of a once
free people.

is one of the absurdities which I have
heard repeated until | have become
sick it, This Union can never be
restored as it was. There are many
things which render such an event i'm
possible. The Union shall never with
my consent, be restored under the
Constitution as it is, with slavery to
be protected in it,"

WESTERN VIRGINIA.

Both houses Of Congress have pas
scd the bill for the admission of Wes-
tern Virginia as State into the Un'
ion which only awaits the Presidents
signature. That it will be given can
hardly be doubted, even though it is a
most fragrant violation Of the Consti

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

We observe that the Democratic
press Of the State is very generally
discussing the time of holding the next
State Convention. For ourselfwe sug-
gcst that the conven ton be postponed
until about the middle of July. The
issues Of the canvass are already to a
great extent before the people. Still
there are questions of State policy that
the conduct Of the ruling dynasty will
yet inagurate, which can be used to
advantage by proper and judicious
delay. AS to the nomination for Gov.
we have heard but one expression in
this part Of the State-ana we desire
no other--that is Hon. D. A. Mahony
Our true policy is to let the Republi
cans first make their nominal ton. Pat
riotism as we'll as duty will deman'
that the Democracy oppose them am
their schemes, for in 80 doing the.
will subserve the public good.
We have no desire to be dictatiorial
but our first and only choice, for Go,
is D. A, Mahony, with Col. A. I
Richardson for Lieut.. Governor. J.
regard to the balance Of the ticket "
have no preferences.
That there is to be any thing mad
Ivy o long canvass we do not believe, an
consequently we are opposed to holdin
= convention before the 30, Of July.

In recommending DR.. Bakers Pain Pana,
cea we do not mean that it is a specific in all
cases and never fails, and that all those who
use it will never die. We can honestly assert
that It has been used in thousands of families
who were suffering under the different diseas-
es for which it is recommended and that. IN
every one, entire satisfaction has been gwen:
In most of them such was TIE happy effect Of
it that they could but say the cure was trnly
wonderful having not only cured their
pains, but saved them large OUTLAWS for doc
tors bills. :,

TRUTH TELLING A CRIME.

Hon. James +. Kerrigan, NJ. c., from
New York city was arrested in the
House of Representatives on the 18th
inst for openly denouncing the Prcsi-
dent as traitor, Art I. Section 6, Of
the Constitution of the I. s., provides
that members of each house shall be
privileged from arrest during the SEES
sion Of Congress, in all cases, except
for treason and that for any speech
in either House, they shall not be qucs-
toned in any other place. Section 3.
Art g., provides that treason against
the U. S., shall consist only in levyiug
war against them, or in adhering to
their enemies giving them aid and
comfort. Art. !, of the amendment
provides that Congress shall make no
law abridging the freedom of speech:
and the courts have decided that trca-
son for adhering to the enemies of the
country, must be accompanied by some
other evidence of hostility than the
mere Inference and use of words.
IF no other act Of the President, done
in open defiance and malignant viola
ton of the guarantees of the Consti-
tuition, constitutes the high crime of
treason ; who 50 violent u partisan as
to deny that this act is an open and
fragrant violation of the constitutional
compact, and as such is at least moral
treason?
We are 50 unfortunate as to believe
that the tareuty thousand arbitrary
arrests made by the order Of Mr., Lin
coin are usurpations of power and not
conferred by the organic law ofthe land;
and that that organic law declares them
to be reasonable; and so it seems the
friends of the President thought, else
why did they under whip and spar
urge through Congress bill to indcmn-
ify the President for these usurpations
of despotic power Is it treason for
US knowing of these reasonable prac;i-
ces Of the President : of these violent
and dangerous usurpations of power
for o most unholy purpose, to call them
BY their right name Is it treason
for the people to call upon their serv-
ants for an account oftheir stewardship?
Why was an act to indemnify the Pres
ident against his reasonable conduct
necessary except to avoid the disy race
of impeachment and expulsion from an
Office he has disgraced not only in the
eyes Of the american people but Of the
civilized world ?
With no allusion to his physiogno.

LESSONS and acts we must sly beyonl

YORKTOWN, port Of entry, capital Of
Iork county, Virginia, il is situated on
the right bank of York river, eleven miles
from It's mouth, and seventy east by south
east OF Richmond. II was settledin l7e5,
and was once ilourishing, The shipping
Of the district June 80, 1854, amounted To
on aggregate ot 5,9lltons curollod and
licensed and all employed in the eoost
trade. Before the commencement Of the
rebellion Yorktown was quiet, uuob-
trusive littlc village Of between twenty
or thirty houses, holfof them uuihhabit, d
with the ruins Of tcncments DESTROYED
during Cornwalls's' siege visible every.
where. The American brcattwork.
were nearly obliterhtod, while tue more
permanent tnIenchmtBts Vf the British
were still comparatively perfect. Il q
out-works which the latter wtge compcl-
led 10 eyscuate on the night Of the SOlh
ol September, 1881, lie on the western
outskirts Of the town, and are probably
still in gcol prcsery alton.
They were strong positions, aud their
Abandonment must have lelt the portion
OF the town in which they were situated
in very exposed condition, and the
American officers, when they took pos
session Of them expressed much surprise
at their being voluntarily given up. The
most eastern Of tho redoubts stormcd by
the allied forces on the 10Th Of October,
1881, being near the river has nearly
been washed away; that taken by the
French portion Of the army may still be
traced. The capture of these redoubts
rendered the destruction or surrender ul
the British forces inevitable, aud On the
18th CORVALLIS solicited a truce aud
agreed 10 capitulatc. The main works.
situated on the eastern edge of the town,
were m excellent keeping in 1904, aud
must have been formidable when bristiinp
with cannon and occupied by soldiers.
The embankmcnt was too broad to be
perforated by cannon shot and too steep
10 be easily scaled by an asssilant. The
held where the lormalit,cs OF the surren-
der occurred is a respectable inelosure Of
some hundred acres, aud it was about the
same in 1881. 1t joins tue town on the
south. The very spot where Gen.
Ollaun Is said to have delivered up his
sword and apologilcd for the absence OF
Cornwallis is nov marked by two poplar
trees, which were planted in commclnora-
tion Of the event. The field itself is near
ly plain, aad is admirably adapted to the
purposes Of drill and parade. From the
top of the hill on which the town Is situa.
ted there is m excellent view extending
into the Chesapeake Bay, and reaching
almost to the Virginia capes. Yorktown
formerly enjoyed quite a valuable West
India trade. The great natural capabili-
ties OF the place Us basis Of military op-
oralions curly attracted the-attention Of
jeff. Davis, and there can be no doubt
that the entertainments constructed By the
British in 1881 have been materially
strengthened since the rebellion. When
Yorktown falls the fate OF tho peninsula
is sealed, and the route TO Richmond
epened.- World.
