Changs-What it has Done and would yet Do.

What an astonishing and encouraging
change in the aspect of national affairs has
been effected by the withdrawal of cor
rupl, l,thieving abolition, slave-arming Black.
Republican from the War Department, and
putting therein plain spoken, straightfor-
ward Democrat, who as citizen and an Of
fcer in the performance OF duty, recognizes
the Constitution as the highest law and the
only basis of our government.
No sooner had Cameron left and Stanton
been inauguraGed, than Mcclellan felt that
he had a hacker Oh whom he could rely and
President Lincoln discovered hat he had a
bold man and an honest adviser at his coun-
Gil board. The effect is soon seen. The
President, the Secretary and the General
harmonic. Mcclellan, thus sustained, re-
CARDS not the insulting taunts and mutiering
threats of Abolition Republican Congress-
men and presses. Holding the Capitol se>
cure beyond mishap, he directs movements
along the coast and in the West, against the
Confederate forces at important points, and
victory follows victory in rapid succession.

Welles from the Navy Department, as the
plundering therein demands, and put a man
of unqueslionable integrity in his place,
there would in all probability, be still fur

to the taxpayers of the country that New
York Morganism was al an end, and that
governments: expenditures would no longer
be directed to the enriching of partizan ia
vorites and brothers in-law, at the expense
of the public treasury.
Another change could not fail to prove
highly advantageous to the Union cause
Let Mr.. Seward be Withdrawn from the
Cabinet, and some sound, national, consti-
tulional, conservative man take his place,
and il would do more towards bringing the
war to a speedy close, and restoring the
Union as it was, than an addition OF hun
dred thousand soldiers to the army and save
millions, perhaps hundred of millions to the
government. The Union men OF the South
never had, and have not now, any conf
dence in Seward. The whole people there
regard him as a sectionalist and an uRscru-
pulous enemy OF the South and its consiitu-
lional rights. II he were put aside, and
true man from Maryland, Virginia, or Ken
lucky substituted, it would go far, very far,
in opening the minds of Southern citizens
generally, for the reception and, perhaps
favorable consideration of any just appeal
which the President and the conservative
people of the loyal States would make tc

The Victories Of White lien.

The recent glorious victories of ourtroops,
says The Albany argus, show that our white
citizens are adequate 10 all The necessities
of the existing contest. We have not had
TO call into the field as allies, that portion
OF the 1900, 900 of blacks in the South ca
pable of carrying gun, or knife, or the
incendiary torch, as, in moments of trepi-
dation and despair, cruel and cowardly men
clamorously urged US TO do. The twenty
four millions OF the North did not need such
allies to aid them ia a contest with eight
millions of the South. 1t would have been
as humiliatihg as disastrous. 10 have made
such confession as the call tor such help
would have implied.
We shall have no more of this African
Intervention in favor of the North, unless
possibly European Intervention IN favor OF
the South should make our cause desperate.
Ii was only from the despair oil the country
that a consent 10 such an extreme measure
could have been wrung.
The cry did not come from the true friends
of the Un;on-from men who sought lis
restoration. II was the decree OF dema-
gogues who were enemies of the Cons nstitu-
lion and the Union, and who preferred a
dissolution OF the Union TO its preservation
in connection with the slaveholding States.
While we rejoice at the victories which
perpeiuaie us as a nation, let US not be un-
mindful of their not less auspicious result,
the preservation of the Constitution and the
restoration of the Uuion-and with all these
results, the vindication of our courage, OF
our humanity, and of our powers of self
government

S. Dickinson is a straight-out Demo
crat. Read what he said few days
ago, at his residence, Binghampt q
New York. J
He said that he was not only for
speedily and totally wiping out the
rebellion, but the cause Of it, so we
would never have another. III was al
so in favor of confiscating all the prop
erty of the rebels, real, personal and
mixed. He said lie would confscate
their quadrupods and their bipeds-
their man servants and their mail SER
wants, and their oxen and their horses,
and their asses, and all that is theirs. =
lie appealed to every man to enlist in
the Union armies who possibly could,
and help sustain the Government. He
said the President was entitled to great
credit for what he had done, and that
the a administration was entitled to the
support of every loyal citizen in the
land,

The arrest Of DR.. Edison B. Oils. Of
Lancaster, last night, became known

and an assistant, who reported here at
noon yesterday. They left here at P.

making but one change of horses on
the road.
The arrest was made at 10 P. NJ, DR..

Traitorous MISUNDERSTANDING
Punishment.

From the oquAwka (Henderson Co. ny Plandesier
A case of summary dealing towards
a secession brawler and sympathizer
traospired near this place last Friday
night. As wo are informed, the case is
rs follows Samuel Grow, an old citi.
zen, but a known and acknowledged
sympathizer with rebels, was with some
Of the late volunteers to whom he de-.
clared, among other expressions of a
like nature, that he hoped every man
enlisted TO fight against the South might
be killed. As was to be expected, the
volunteers were greatly enraged at such
expressions, aud twenty or thirty of
them resolved to pay the traitor visit.
and, as they say, bring him to town
and make him take the oath of alegi.
once Whether part ofthc company
contemplated any violence is not Ger.
tain, but It'll probable that few Of
them did.
They went to Mr. Grow s house, and
asked if he was at home. His wife
seeing crowd of men, said he was not
But they insisted that he was in the
house, and finally she said he was, and
would presently come out. He soon
made his appearance at the back door
with gun in his hand, and told the
crowd to keep back or he would shoe,
\ part Of them went towards him. when
he snapped the caps on both barrels o.
his gun. This attempt to shoot still
more enraged the crowd. They then
rushed upon him, took him to the wood,
and gave him twenty nine lashes. They
afterwards brought him to town, and
kept him under guard till morning.
when Justice Fuller administered I,
him the oath Of allegiance and let hin
go.
It was proven that the gun was load
ed, ir being purely accidental that Meth
er load was discharged. The afF1ir,
created considerable excitement While
our loyal citizens do not regard tn,
punishment which the man received 70,
his traitorous speeches as any create
than he deserved, they at the sam,
time deprecate a resort to mob violence
Butt in no case will they submit to nnv
thing like retaliation on the part Of the
rebel sympathizers whom we have in our
midst Traitors must not complain i
loyal indignation does occasionally car
ry portion Of the community beyont
the bounds of law and forbearance. -
We have no law that can reach them
till they commit an actual act of treason
But it would be little less suicidal thar
permitting open rebellion to suffer mer
to so around the country advocating
the cause of rebellion. If traitors t,
our flag and Union exist in our midst
they must keep quiet, or make their way
over the lines to the rebels.
