A Dead Party.

Is the Republican party dead! We infer
so from the fact that lis leaders are afraid
to call convention in this State. The his
tory of that party in Pennsylvania is instruc-
live. Ii is a history OF fraud and deception
Before the campaign Of 1856 he Republican
party proper could not poll more than ten
thousand votes in the city of Phla., and
its strength throughout the country districts
was in about the same proportion. In the
Presidential election of 1856 Republicanism
was disguised by fusion with Americanism
--and since that time it has never dared to
make fair, open fight with the Democracy
under its true name. In the elections o'
1858 and 1889 this state was carried against
the Democratic party BY all those opposed
to the Buchanan Adminis1ration-thls cir
cumlocutory phrase being used for the pur
pose of fusing factions by the attraction OF
common antipathy which could not have
been united upon the basis OF congenial
opinions. In the election Of 1850 the Re-
publican party, still afraid to prosecute the
ampaign under its true colors sought ref
uee and concealment in the name of Peo-
ple's Party" and now in The year 1862 the
elements composing ihis organization are
about TO undergo another change. The
Peoples Party is worn out, effele, rotten
The managers must devise some startling
noyelty-some fresh attraction something
to amuse and gull the innocent public, and
perpetuaie the power OF circle OF huck-
steriag politicians, who have not the cour>
age to stand by their true colors.
This fact is suggestive of the incaPacity
OF the Republican party 10 sustain an ad-
ministraiion of Its own choice. Even when
in power they are an opposition party, rec-
ognzing lhe Democracy as a centre against
which 10 combine Their only idea OF
political organization is to defeat the Demo
cratic party. The incapacIty OF The RePuo-
lican parry 10 sustain the Administration OF
lis choice is clearly illustrated by passing
events. Mr. Lincoln encounters the great
esl trouble from men of his own party
They oppose his policy and give his admin
| istration all the trouble il has 10 contend
! against. While The democracy are support
ing the government without making any
noise about it, The Republicans are Perpet-
ually wranging and squabbling about the
| policy of the Administration. They seem
to have entered into conspiracy to dis
| credit the Administration. They have plum
derad the reasury 10 the extent OF millions
upon millions of dollars until this infamous
business eliminated in the withdrawel OF
cabinet Minister and the substitution oil a
1emocrat-yes, Democrat who belonged
TO MIR Buchanan's administration. Repub-
licanism AS a governing power Is failure
| "a sad and miserable failure. What won
der that its leaders read defeat in the future
and are seeking some refuge from the com
ing storm What wonder that they are
willing to give up the name OF Republican
and enter into an alliance with any set OF
men that will endure their fellowship The
Republican party is dead-yes, foul and re-
pulsive.-Pahiot + Union.

AHEcDoIE OF SIMON CAMERos-A PENN
sylvanian now in the army, relates US
Traditional auecdoie of The Secretary of War,
which is pro baby as true as the posthum-
Gus stories of juvenile days of great men
generally are and We therefore put il on
record for The benefit of his future biogra
pher.
II was the sustcm aforetime in Penn
sylvania for mothers to place an apple, a
silver dolla: and Bible before their chill
dren, as soon as they were able to toddIe
about and, with a mothers interest watch
them make their choice. II was considered
indicative OF their more matured pred,Iec.
:lons. In accordance with this custom,
the mother Of the infant Simon, as soon as
he was able TO stand on his pins, produced
the articles and sci them before the child,
hoping in heart he would select the Bible.
But MOI so Simon. The future Secretary of
War took somewhat DELIBERATE view, and
with less reverence than King Alfred
mounted 'op o: the Holy Writ, pocketed
The dollar and commenced munchina the
apple 1t is needless TO add that he has
been al that business ever since Gin.

SHELLS TO the uniniiialed this is word
of simple and harmless significance. Nei>
ther bivaIyes, .uuiyalyes, however, and by
no means 10 The recipients safeiy-valves,
but iron-framed and iuiS.fiIled are the shells
in which the army is hearing such constant
repors, and which form curious species
in the natural history of war.
"SheIls," says Major Joseph Roberts, in
his /" Hand book of Artillery" are hollow
sphers OF cast.iron powder, which is igniled
by means OF fuse, and fuse is q small
cylinder or conical shaped piece of wood,
metal or paper which is filed with a slow
burning composition, and is inserted into
hole in the she'll.
The rate OF burning OF the fuse is graded
according 10 its length, and is so arranged
that the fire shall be communicated 10 the
moving missile at the proper moment When
fred at troops the she'll should be timed 10
burst directly over their heads or among
them, when fred al Buildings or works, il
should explode after it had penetrated. To
vary This family of shells, we have spheri-
a charge Of powder just large enough TO
burst it, canister shot-a lin cylinder, iron
headed filled with cast iron balls, grape
shot, consisting of nine balls in a bag or
confined cylinder rings, and numerous
others ingenious as dangerous No former
war has found such virtue in shells as has
the present. Mcclellan declared that this
would be an artillery war, and that meant
chiehy-sheIls.

LITTLE EDDIE, The DRUMMER.
ReminIsesuee Of WIhss's grssk.

yCorre, ,pondence OF the Chicago Tribune ]
Camp BEsToN, Decemoer 20--A few days
before our regiment received orders 10 join
Gen Lyon. on his march to Wilson's Creek
the drummer boy OF our company was la
ken sick and conveyed 10 the hospital and
on The evening preceding the day that we
were TO march, aspegro was arrested within
the lines of our camp and brought before
our Captain, who asked him, "Whai bnsi
ness he had within the lines" He replied
81 know a drummer that you would like 10
enlist 10 your company, and have come
to tell you OF it. He was Immediately re-
ouested to inform the drummer that il he
would enlist for orr short term OF service
he would be allowed extra pay, and 10 do
this he must be on the ground early in the
morning. The negro was lhen passed be-
yond The guard.
On the following morning there appeared
before the Captains Quarters. during the
beating of the reueiHs, good looking, mid
die aged woman dressed in deep mourning,
leading by the hand a sharp, sPrighuy-
.ooking boy, apparently twelve or thirteen
years of age. Her story was soon Told =
She was from East Tennessee, where her
husband had been killed BY The rebels, and
all her properly destroyed. She had come
10 81 Louis in search of her sister, and, not
finding her, and being destitute Of money,
she thought if she could procure situation
for her boz as adrummer for the short time
thai we bad to remain in the service, she
could find employment for herself, and per-
haps find her sister by The time we "efe
discharged.
During The rehearsal of her story the little
fellow kept his eyes intenily fixed upon
che countenance OF The Captain, who was
about to express determination not TO
take so small boy, when he spoke out,
sDon't be afraid, Captain, can dFum."-
This was spoken with so much con6dence
that the Captain Immediately observed with
. smile, sWell, well, Sefgeants bring the
drum and order cor fifer 10 come forward p
In fe " moments the drum was produced,
and our fifer, tail, round shouIdered good
naiursd fellow, from the Dubuque mines,
who stood, when erect, something over six
feet in height, soon made his appearances.
Upon being introduced TO bis new COM
rade be stopped down, with ais hands rest
ing upon his knees, thai were thrown for
ward into an acute angle, and after peering
into the little fellows face moment he
observed, SHY little man, can you drum F'
