before the country as the only party who

An expedition is about starting from
Beaufort S. G. No one knows its des
tination. but the fact that it is to be com
manded by Gen. Seymour, indicates tina
it is of importance as he is a fighting
man.
The St. Croix Herald, published a

Novel;.

AE Rev. Dir. BREcKENR1DGr, Of Ken
lucky, in recent article Of his Dane
vile ReOieW, makes the following curl.
Gus suggestion TO the rebels if they re,
fuse TO submit He says:
How can the final success of the insurgent
cause be any longer even imagined, except
upon the basis of some change in the condi-
ton of the parties, which only miracle could
produce Two or three hundred thousand
veteran insurgents, with almost no available
reserve of fighting men, might protract the
war, and do much mischief; but that they can
finally, or even lopgx maintain themselves
against an equal number of federal veterans,
with reserve that is practically inexhaust-
bic, cannot be imaginged. If these insurgeht
troops are SO embittered against the United
States, that they arc resolved to brave any
fortune, sooner than to return to their alegi.
ance TO it, how much better would it be for
them to quit the desperate folly and mischief
they are now engaged in, and, escaping the
destruction which awaits them, march into
Mexico, drive the French out of it, and follow
ed by theiI women and children, establish
themselves in some portion of Spanish Ameri-
ca, where all who choose to share their for
tunes might join them from the United States
ann where tney Woulu lay tne foundations oil q
glorious future. 1t would be wonderful
thing, if, in the providence of God, this mon
strous conspiracy against the existence of the
| United States as one of the great nations of the
earth, should end in making it still more pow
erful and durable than before in totally
changing the condition of the black race on
this continent, and by consequence, in some
degree, throughout the world in creating a
great Protestant Anglo Saxon nation, in the
vast reg ion on theis continent so long abused
by Papal and Latin races besides working
out, in regard of two great European nations
results in allrespects the opposite of those they
hoped to derive from our ruin. No event il
modern times been SO fruitful as the war to es
tablish the independence of this nation. Whc
need doubt that the far more terrible wal
waged to maintain and perpetuate the exist
ence then won might be used BY God in a man
ner more fruitful ?"

Louisiana.

EF An effort is now being made 10
re organize the State government of Lou
isiana, upon loyal Union basis. Gov
ernor SHEPLy has called for thorough
enrolment Of all the loyal voters in the
State, to select delegates for State Con-
vention, which comes off on the 25th Of
January, whose mission will be to frame
a Constitution If there are loyal men
enough in the State 10 warrant such a
step, Gov SHEPLY will issue his warrant
for the election. Probably the result
will be such as to restore Louisiana to
that position among the States, Of which
she was defrauded by the secession cleo
ton Of 1861. With the light which we
have since received upon this subject,
no one pretends now but that the vote
with which she seeded was largely in
favor of remaining in the Union, from
the fact that the Infamous judges Of cleo
ton would never publish the returns.
Under the recent Proclamation Of the
President, one-tenth of the number o.
voters who cast their suffrages at the
election Of 1860, that now prove loyal
may be restored TO all the rights, priv
leges and immunities, save with respec
to slaves, which they enjoyed prior &c
the rebellion. and they may rest assured
that the Government of the United States
will sustain and protect them in Their
rights. The laboring men who have
been oppressed by the Southern aristoc
racy, and who have escaped the sweep
ing CONSUMPTION of the Confederacy
will now have chance TO assert the
independence, and establish a form o
government on the Democratic basis, o
the greatest good to the number.

Congress-.

Congress adjourned last Wednesday,
to January 9Th. The bounty bill was
passed, which appropriates $4,000, 900
or so much of it as may be necessary for
the payment of bounties and advance
pay. No bounties will be paid to any
person enlisted after the 5th Of January,
except the one hundred dollars authori-
zed by Section 9Th, Of the Act of July
22d, 1861. SHERMAN, of Ohio, opposes
the payment Of large bounties, taking the
ground that the country cannot support
the vast expenditures which it will in
volve.
Mr.. HARDING, of Kentucky, moved
that no part Of the money appropriated,
be used for the raising, arming, equip
ping and payment of Negro troops
This was rejected, yeas, Al, nays, lo5.
ELLIOTT of Mass, introduced a bill
which provides that an office be created
in the War Department, TO be called the
Bureau Of Emancipation, and that the
President be authorized to appoint 8
commissioner, with salary of four thou

lions touching freemen of African de
scent.

Hard on the Lawyers.

ES- The liquor law is so thoroughly
enforced in Cedar County, that most Of
the legal fraternity are forced to leave
or resort to some other occupation for a
livelihood. They haven't had single
case there for long time. and the Clerk
of the Court has betaken himself 10 wr-
ting essays on temperance. instead Of
making out dockets. @

Enlist Now.

~ We call the attention of those
contemplating enlistment, to the fact
that the appropriation bill which has
just passed Congress, only provides for
the payment Of the present bounties up
to the 9Th day of January. There is
every indication that the government
will stop the payment of those bounties
after that date. Therefore. if you wish
to secure your S4o2 or $500, you must
enlist now.

Pay Of Soldiers.

Senator Wilson has prepared bill increas-
ing the pay of soldiers to SIG, providing a
bounty Of $500 to veteran recruits, $500 TO or
binary recruits paying premium of SOS for
procuring the former, and Sl5 for the latter
putting colored soldiers, as regards pay, ra-
tons and equipments, on a footing with white
soldiers and allowing Congressional districts
for men furnished the army or navy, before or
dering another draft.-Chicago Journal
E1- This does very well, far as il goes,
but the honorable Senator does not
spread it on thick enough. What we
mean, is the increase of pay Of private
soldiers is too little. OF course SIC is
better than Sl3, but $50 is better than
either, and no more than what our noble
soldiers are entitled to. Cut down the
pay OF host of useless Colonels and
Brigadiers, add it to the wages Of the
privates, and thereby live up more fully
to the golden rule. 1t is time that the
false theory Of compelling man 10
shoulder musket, lug knapsack, and
pack a weeks rations for Sl3 month,
was exploded.
