ashore and discharged their cargoes.
The general committee of Mozart Hall Demo-
Gratis unanimously adopted resolutions extremely
opposed to the war policy Of the Government.
Fernando Wood spoke on the resolutions, opposing
the war. He said: 'sWe are for returning the
seeded States TO their duty. We believe that
peace under the present circumstances is the only
way to restore the Union. 1 am glad the lion
hearted Democracy will soon have the opportunity
of giving the lie to men like yam Buren and
Brady. (Cheers and hisses) | want the
thousands of honest men who beyond pur-
chase, who are beyond intimidation, to express

Lake Erie. [Cheers. There is no such word as
loyalty in a republican dictionary Loyalty is a
moHarchicai word. No loyalty for me. know
no such word"
The Herald says editorially:
"Noisy peace agitators, claiming to lead the
Conservative Democracy are seen on every side
saving the air, and on the stump and in the
Legislative assembly are heard preaching peace
and armistice and conventions and the most
degrading concessions to JEFF. Davis, and armed
resistance against Lincoln for the sake Of peace.
The exact issue before US, however, Is the subju-
CATION of this rebellion or half dozen Confed-
eracies and perpetual war There Is no choice
left ps then. but that of crushing campaign by
Lnd and water. Let Mr. Lincoln, then, execute
the conscript law. Any other road leads to chaos
and endless wars

EDWARD EvERETT.-The Paris correspondent
Of the New York World, gives the following
6onne Jouche to Edward Everett:
A good many Americans in Paris hung down
their heads on reading that I" the Hon. Edward

perfect gentleman-doine homage to that man

Of New Orleans here. in Paris who 'blacked
mailed Butler to get away, and who showed their
passports and the prices paid for them, with But
,ler's initials in his own handwriting. Although
greatly gratifed on the arrival Of every
steamer to see that Batter is having justice done
him in the World, yet we cannot refrain from ex-
pressing little of the universal contempt which
is felt for the brute in Europe, and fol all who
honor him.

THE POSITION OF CALEB GUSHING.


The Northern papers publish the following letter
from Caleb Gushing to Daniel Marcy, dated
March 5th, 1868:
al hear that some political use is made in New
Hampshire ofa report attrbu:ing to ne a-speech,
delivered not long since in New York, at meeting
held to promote the project of Mr. Eli Thayer for
the forcible colonization of Florida and write TO
say that the report is Of course an erroneous ono,
and that the speech ia question was delivered by
hIr Cassius NJ. Clay.
How this crude utterance came to be ascribed
to me it is impossible for me to conjecture: Nor
is that. important to know. Suffice it to say that
the speech is not mine in fact, aud that its opinions
are not my opinions. | rcprobate alike its argu-
ments aud its objects. The ssme nIischievous
plans brought upon us the curse of Kansas.
This new Emgrant Aid Company belongs TO
that base brood Of pestilent schemes Of policy
towards the insurgent States-subjugation, coniis-
cation, colonization cmancipa patton devastation aud
extcrmiuation-which sound like the delirious
rawlings Of bedlam let loose which,, if carried into
actual operation, would, in their ultimate effect,
most OF all injure the loyal States and which tend
to cause great national uprising, entered upon
by US for the maintenance Of the Constitution and
the Union, to sink down into q mere desperate
struggle of suicidal blind rage of fseldestruction-
the abolition of the Constitution aud the over
throw of the Union by one fatal hand and not that
of our enemies. This gospel of death, this radical
destructiveness, is the ouly practical disunonism
existing among US in the loyal States.
Though it makes believe support, il fercely
opposes the Administration; it is deadly hostility
tc the freedom, prosperity, and happiness Of the
people; IL is reasonable conspiracy against the
Government.
May God in his mercy confound oil such
disloyal counsels, that thus-for thus only can il
be-the Union shall be strengthened aud shielded
to pass unscathed through this its second baptism
OF blood and FIRE, and our suffering country be
enabled to repose oncs more in peace under the
broad shadow of the Constitution"
"Twont do, Caleb-'twont do You can't re-.
establish the Union in any way.

County has sent us what purports to be dol
lar bill, issued by the 'Wske County Manufacture
ing Company" and signed by j. c. Caldwell,

cents in circulation in the West, purporting to
have been issued by the "Wake County .Manufac

ROBBERY EXTRAORDINARY The Savannah
Republican relates the following particulars Of a
late robbery on the Georgia Central Railroad,
which fully up to the rascsy spirit Of the times:
1t appears that gentleman from Sumter county
was settling for supper at the Brown House,
when young man standing By observed that he
had a considerable amount Of money on his person
lie soon commenced conversation with the
stranger ascertained that be was 10 take the Gen.
tral Railroad that eight, and expressed great
satisfaction, as he going that way himself.
lie became very coy with his new and unwary
acquaintance, went aboard the cars with him and
they took seats together. They chatted merriIy
along until the ears had passed Griswoldville;;
when the young man proposed to 20 to the hinder
car, where he bad left his carpet bag Vth friend,
and take drink Of liquor.
The Slmter county man, being "a little dry
readily consented. The two passed out Of the
ear whilst the train was going at full speed, and
on reaching the platform aud closing the door
they were joined by third party. The two,
without warming, took violent bold OF the strang-
er, evidently by pre-concert, and dashed him from
the train. The two rogues, then quietly returned
to. their seat in the car. Oa reaching Gordon
they left the train aad footed back six miles TO
their VICTIM whom they found lying at the foot Of
the embank ment with ghastly wound across the
face, bis thigh broken, and wholly unable TO offer
any resistance They went to work and robbed
him or his pocket-book, eoDtaining $1,000 his
papers, knife, tobacco, and indeed everything ex-
cept his clothing The scoundrcls then ) ocamped,
leaving him 10 his fate. Next dsy he was dis
covered and taken to Gordon where medical as
sistaDce was called in and bis family sent for.

SAVE Your RAGs.-What do our people do
with all their rags? Is it known that at the pre-
sent time the two companies. running the paper
mills near this place are paying and 10 cents
pound for rags? Such we assure our country
friends facts and we appeal to them to bring in
their rags. The best printing paper is made of
rags and the want of them coapels the paper ma
kers to use cotton at the present extravagant pr-
ces. This fact makes the price Of the paper much
greater to u.s. and we necessarily have to make a
corresponding increase in own prices to enable
US to pay it, Let those who have rags bring them
in and get the money for them.-R0leiyA Pro.
