Columbia County Republican,
In this county, it has been supposed
that the People had something to do with
the selection Of their officers. DR.. John

different opinion. They "wil hardly pass

And if the teachers in question, have no

19~ SUDDEN DEATH.-George P. Smith
a colored man, says the Pittston Gazette
died very suddenly in his barber shop, in
this place, few evenings since. He
was sitting at the door of his shop, when
he was all at once seized with faintness.-
lie asked some persons near him to help
him into the shop. They did SO and left
him alone, as they supposed comtorta BILE.
When his partner came in, Smith was dead
in his chair.

Mark the expression, "F6Ao,r lac ano

the estimation of the President, whenever
law is lnconvenient it should not be fol-
lowed. What beautiful doctrine 70 be
preached by man whose duty it is to
execute the laws Surely the President
cannot be serious when he advises his
officers to obey the laws only when it is
"conccnstnt' to them. A nice man the
President is to compel others to obey
laws, when he only regards them when
they are convenient.

INA QUANDARY.-Mr, Lincoln insists
that his colonization idea shall be carried

there are only two difficulties in the way.
One is that the countries to which the
negroes are willing to 60, will not receive
them. Probably Mr.. Lincoln has ascer.
tanned that it is easier to do some things
than it is to do others.

s&y Our. LATE REvERsE.-A corro
spondent of the Ber Wick Gazette, and n
Member of the Eighty Fourth Regiment,
in speaking of the Battle of Fredcricks-
burg, says:--
"Our men fought nobly in the late bat
tie. They struggled bravely against over.
whelming odds, they advanced without
shrinking against batteries from which is
sued sheets of iron and fame and death,
they charged against mpregnable fortif,
cations, and when repulsod, fell back and
charged again. But, what availed all
their bravery, and their patriotism Of
what account was it that individua al hero
ism was displayed, that men rushed into
the claws of death, into the mouth of hell
that SO many noble brave were slain? Oh
God why was this movement made
Why were so many noble lives sacrificed,
so much suffering caused, and misery and
mourning brought into so many families
The army is ready and eager to crush the
rebellion but we don't want to die for moth
ing; we don't want to see our friends and
mcssmates cut down in the prime of life,
and no result accomplished. We are will.
ling to fight, but we want to whip them :;
we want to conquer the rebels and restore
our country to greater than its pristine
glory.

with great gallantry in the late fight and

Such is the opinion of a Union Soldier
of the late inhuman slaughter. And such
would be the expressions of almost every
soldier in the Army, Notwithstanding,
Burnside, takes the responsibility of the
wholesale murder, and old Abe, congrat.

so small. Thousands will repeat, "Oh
