THE ABOLITION BUGREAR.

1HE ADOLAAASN DooAnnAs.
There are several Of our Dsmoerotic con-
,smporaries in this State, whose columns
tenn from week to week with the charge that
the abolitionists are responsible for this rebel
lion. We deny this most alphabetically
There Is not even the shadow of truth in the
assertion. The abolition party Of the North
psr 81, never had any political preponderance
or responsibility. They never had political
control in any Northern State. No other
party in the North has ever proposed to in
terfere with Slavery in the States, and no
interference has ever taken place in fact, BY
any party, acting through legislative forms,
either in Congress or In local legislatures.--
The abolition agitation" 20 called was oni y
made the pretert for rebellion. 1t was not
the real cause of it, As everybody knows who
is conversant with the history of the times
The rebels broke up the government because
they we're beaten in Presidential election,
and because the natural increase Of popula-
ton in the Free States has been so much
more rapid than in the Slave States that un.
der our system of government, permitting the
ma " o ,-, -, ,s.+al 'u,I co.,
troll OF Ma tionai affair had passed forever
from he Slavehoiiipe class II was because
the Shareholders could no longer bear the
sceptre Of power that they rebelled. 1t was
ambition as fell and demonlac as that of Luz
ciier which impelled them into treason. We
have no defence to make of the political alb
olitionists, hut it is just to say that the whole
sin of this rebellion lies upon the shoulders
Of the pro-slavery faction Of the country.
1t would afford us some pleasure to have
these Democratic journals to which We have
alluded crack JEFF. Davis over the head oc.
casionally, rather than to bestow all their
blows upon small, erratic, Gas we think but
harmless sect Of Northern Abolitionists. Il
has been the custom too long for partizar
purposes to hold the abolionist up as dan
qerous agitator. As the farmer pins piece
Of red flannel to the end Of a stick witt
which to drive away an unruly bull, 80 Dem
ocratic politicians have shaken the bloody
abo!itionists in the faces of the people to keel
them within the pro-slavely pasture. IL is
political bugbear, and nothing else We re
neat that the Shareholders rebelled beeaus
they found themselves for the first time IN
political minority. They rebelled becaus
they found that their long cherished scheme
Of extending slasc,y into tie territory
Kansas, and the territories acquired troI
Mexico we're banked by the legitimate an
constitutional action of the majority w
say, therefore, let the traitors bear the infam
Of their crimes alone. Ii i'll becomes me
living IN the North to put forth paliatiyes an
excuses for tie Shareholders, for their crime
admit of no excuse or paliation.

1The rebels have not won single
battle in 1862. The last substantial vie
tory was at Balls Bluff, October %. On
the other hand, the Union forces have
won at least six battles against the rebels
since the LIST of January, 1862, - viz,
l, The repulse of the rebels at Santa
Rosa; 2, Humphrey Marshalps rout ;
8, Capture of rebel batteries at Port
Royal; 4, Mill Spring (Zollicofer killed);
s, Fort Henry; 6, Roanoke Island.
Another Union victory is without doub.
at hand, the capture of Fort Donnelson.
There is nothing very discouraging in
this comparison, especially when it is re-
membered that We have also taken some
four or FIVE thousand prisoners, including
many officers, since the commencement Of
the year. 49, ,lfsrT {

town il was reported was beng burnt 1ftb
1t is believed now that no rebel forces ex-
list in Kentucky east of the direct road from

force on the line from Bowling Green to

" PLEASE Pass THE CHEESE 7"

Some good people are very much exer-
cised because Mr.. Otis of Dandy, saw fit
to make present to President Lincoln OF
a,fne cheese, in part to testify his respect
for, and confidence in our Chief Magis-
trate, and also, no doubt, TO bring into
prominent notice among eminent men,
one of the chief productions Of our State.
The high terms in which the President
was pleased to speak Of this production OF
aVermont Dairy, will hare no deleteri-
GUS effect upon the market of this COM
modify. We cannot be SO narrow-minded
as to condemn the act Of Mr.. Otis, as
springing from low desire to get his name
into print. We certainly published the
fact Of the contribution without his knowl-
edge. We are led 10 speak Of this now
for the reason that . person who assumes
to himself the name Of the 6 Ladies
Soldiers Aid Society" sends a commu-
nication to the Courier, denying that Mr.
Otis has contributed anything for the ben
eft of the soldiers. Perhaps Mr.. Otis
charity was not bestowed SO ostentatious-
A1y as to come to the knowledge Of the
person who wrote the article for the
Courier, but we repeat that Mr.. Otis did
some time ago contribute to the value Of
several dollars in aid of the soldiers in
/. the field. IF "Me Ladies' Aid Society"
will send a delegate to us, we will dis
close when and how it was done. The
animus of this attack upon Mr.. Otis, can
hardly be creditable one. 1t springs
either from envy or malice.

MISCELLANY.

The TAX BLL.-Somebody CDoestcks
probably,) proposes several new amendments
to the bill now pending in Congress as fol-
lows
For kissing pretty girl, S1,O0
For kissing very homely one, S2,00.-the
extra amount being added probably, as pun
ishment for the mans folly.
For ladies kissing one another, $500. The
tax is placed at this rate in order to break up
the custom altogether. it being regarded by
our nj. C.'s as piece of inexcusable absurdty.
For every Irritation, 10 cents.
Every young man who has more than one
'girl" is taxed $500.
For courting in the kitchen, 25 cents.
Courting in the sitting-room, so cents.
Courting in the parlor, 100.
Courting in romantic place. $500, and 40
cents for each offence thereafter.
Seeing lady home from church, 25 cents
for each offence.
Seeing her home from the dime society, s
cents, the proceeds to be devoted to the relief
of disabled army chaplains.
For lady who paints, 80 cents.
For wearing low-necked dresses. $780,
For each curl on lady's head above ten,
cents.
For every unfair device for entrapping young
men into matrimony, $500.
For wearing hoops larger than ten feet In
circumference, Scents for each hoop.
Old bach's over 30 are taxed $40.
Over forty, $50.
Over fifty, $1,000, and sentenced to banish-
ment IN Utah.
Each pretty lady to be taxed from % cents
to S25, ,00-she TO fix the estimate on her own
beauty. 1t is thought that very large
amount will be realized from this provision.
Each boy baby 80 cents.
Each girl baby, 10 cents.
Families having more than eight babies are
not to be taxed; and for twins premium of
$4,000 will be paid out of the funds accruing
from the tax on old bachelors.
Each sunday loafer on the street corners or
about church doors is to be taxed at his full
rdtue, which is about cents.

A SUGGESTION FOR THE SoIpIERs.-The
captain of the barge in an Oxford boat race,
just as they are starting, gives each rover a
little slice of lemon to hold in his mouth. He
knows the philosophy; anything in the mouth
that promotes the flow of saliva and keeps the
throat moist answers as well or better than
drink, which often, in quantities. weakens the
stomach. physician, who understood these
things, used in his long drives to take Glove
IN his mouth, instead of drinking frequently as
his inclination would have led him to do. The
advantage of cloves is that they contain much
in little space, and do not lose their strength.
For the soldier they would be peculiarly use
fui, since they are aromatic, stimulating. and
astringent, which last quality would tend to
counteract that tendency to irritation of the
bowels which is the bane of the soldiers life.
Halfa-dozen day are enough; one Glove may
remain in the mouth for hours
