These infatuated madmcn arc quite
equal to butchery Of this sort, and have
already announced their determination to
make bloody and horrible orgic over the
first batch OF colored soldiers, and their
white officers, who may fall into their

he would do this, aud We shall be COM

which ever pressed upon the heart and

Already there arc twenty thousand col

Massachusetts has been solemnly presented
with its co1ors, and ordered straightway
to the battlefield. Gen. Banks has author
lied the raising Of whole army Of blacks:
and If these men are sent to battle without
the guarantee Of rcprisals, and life for life,

Lincoln has given no distinct intimation
to the rebels OF what he will do with rebel
prisoners if they carry their horrible
threats into execution. Surely it Is high

We have stirring events on this border, in
a small tway. The bushwhackcrs under Liv-
ingston aud other leaders less known to f1me,
arc doing somewhat thriving business By
way Of robbing, In the border counties of both
Kansas and Missouri. The bushes are now

horses, cattle, money, <Sc.-thus keeping the
Inhabitants in continual ferinent. But they
do not always succeed in their nef,rlous bust
ness. Many Butternut is sent to his own
place, by the excited border men. Gen. Blunt
is disposing the troops under his charge to
the best advantage; cavalry companies are
stationed at different posts on the border,
from which they can move with velocity
when they can hear Of their wheye.bouts-
aud one good sign Is, that not many prisoners
are brought in.

Judge n. r. Hall, Of the United States Dis
trict Court, Of the District Of Western New.
York, ut the term Of the Court, held in Roehes
ter, charged the Grand jury strongly in favor
OF the eonstitutfonality Of the Couscription.
lie said he was aware that partisan nevspa.
pers had urged that the law was unconstitu-
tlonal, and might therefore be resisted with
tnapnnity, but that he saw no reason to donit
that Congress had theconstitutional anthor;tv
to provide By law for the enrolment of per-
sons capable OF bearing arms, and for calling
into the military service Of the country eurii
portions OF the persons SO enrolled Us In their
Judgement the safety Of the country NAV re-
quire. That the Constitution gave Congress
me power, with certain Limitations, to raise
:ald support armies, and that Whenever Cor
gress, IN the exercise Of their constitutional
authority, passed laws for that or any other
purpose, such laws were to be administered
and enforced by courts and jaries. That he
was aware 1t had been said that tha provisions
o. snsn avs we're unwise, but that he felt
pound to say that courts and jurics had no
business with the question whether the pro-
visions Of law Of Congress were the wisest
and best that could have been devised, 50 long
US such provisions were not in conflict with
Inc Constitution. That such questions, by
the people of the United States, up1er the
provisions Of the Constitution, had been
wisely left to the Legislative department; and
while no man had higher reverence for the
Constitution, 10 one felt more strongly than
Lc did that on its maintenance in its Integrity
depended the continuance Of the Union, the
existtrcc Of the Government, and the security
Of the people, he felt the s:lme necessity Of
enforcing all constitutional laws without re-
gasd to individual opinion Of their wisdom Or
propriety, and Of the judicial department uI-
1ninistering and enforcing the laws established
by the Legislature as they were enacted by
the Legislative Department, without attempt
irG 10 modify such laws or mike laws far
themselves. He said he had derived his en-
:iitulional opinion from tie teachings Of
Marshall, Webster and Story, and held that
their departments were distinct, and that
courts aud jurors should not encroacl upon
the Legislative Department By impcachiuc
the y dom Of the acts OF Congress, and rctus-
ing Tor that reason to enforce them.
Judge HALL was President Fil1more's Post
master General, and for many years his law
partner. He is not only not partisan Of the
present Administration, but on the contrary,
is politically, thoroughly opposed to it. His
words Will carry great weight with the pco-
pie.

Northern pictorial Papers.

By recent arrival from Nassau, the
Wilmington Journal has bundle Of late
New York pictorial sheets, embracing Frank
Leslie, of February 81, and March I, and
Harper's Weekly, of February %.
Harper's is decidedly veuomous, bitter
and unrelenting. Its first page picture is
likeness of General Hooker, and its last
page has picture entitled "The Copper
head Party-in favor of a vigorous prose:
cution of peace" "The Copperhead Par
ty," be it understood, is the elegant appel
lation given by the Abolitionists to all op.
posed to the usurpations of Abe Lincoln
For instance, Clement L. Vallandigham is
stigmatized by Harper as the chief of cop
perheads. The peace Democrats are carl
catured under the semblance of copperhead
snakes with human heads and Quaker hats,
making an attack on o slanky looking fe.
male, innocent Of crinoliue, supposed to
represent Columbia, who holds ont shield
marked ."Union." To show the anin,us
of Harper, we shall extract short para.
graph from an editorial article headed
"Copperheadism," as follows:
awe shall not waste time in arguing
with the copperheads. Men who are capa-
BILE of justifying the rebels and espousing
their cause when the blood of some mem
ber of almost every Northern family red
dens Southern soil, and the bones of Nor
theru soldiers are worn as ornaments by
Southern women, are not likely to be con-
vinced by argument, or to be pervlous to
anything short of bayonet thrust"
This is rich, especially the style Of fe.
male ornaments prevalent at the South
And yet this stuff will have its believers,
although, of course, its writer is not to be
classed among them. Harper also devotes
considerable space in the way of pictures
and letter press to the new negro regiments.
All the negroes appear in Harper with the
features of white men, but with rather, a
dark color. Frank Leslie, on the contrary,
gives the Native Guards in Louisiana, just
as they are, certainly without aattery, ma.
king them look as purely African as may
be. The comic picture on the last page Of
one of the Lsslie's is entitled "The Bad
Bird and the Mudsill," and represents old
Abe stuck in the mud up to bis waist,
while JEFF. Davis, in the form of a bird, sits
costly on his. nest marked "Richmond," !"
and laughs at Abe, whp is made to say
"Ah, you may -laugh-but if it wern't tor
this mud, I'd soon fetch you out Of that

A Good Move.

=
1t has been suggested in Augusta and
Atlanta to form Societies to protect the
Soldiers families from, the necessity of pur-
chasing from extortioners, by employing
volunteer capital, either as a gift or loan to
the Society. The idaA has been we'll re-
ceived in many places, and should be adop-
ted in every town. We think the Comuis-
sioners of the Soldiers Families for this
District, should see to it, that the price of
corn should be given out at $500. This
can be done with the aid Of private capital.
If something of this kind is not done soon,
the price of corn during the summer may
advance to $780, In many places corn
is now selling for more than double this
sum.
Many families were disappointed last
week in getting corn from the Commission
ers, and were obliged to borrow money and
pay $3.50 per bushel, and a whole day con:
sumed in finding corn, getting it to mill
and carrying it home. It,would be a great
convenience to the families fortne Com.
missioners to have corn that they could sell
at cost to Soldiers families who have drawn
their proportion and still not supplied to
the amount of their wants.. 1t would save
the time of running about with little poke
from one mill to another to get q bushel of
corn. Many are obliged to do this now,
and have done it for years, but the times
are now too hard for poor business like
that to be carried on. Any one that can
carry bushel of corn to mill, should be
engaged in: crop-it is important to the
public interests of the country that they
should be thus employed for themselves or
others. This will be the best remedy for
hard times We can suggest The labors Of
summer will give us all abundance in the
fall season, and those who are not provident
enough to provide.for such times as We have
fallen upon, must expect to experience all
the disappointment there is to be found in
lazy ,indolent life. It will be Notifying,
indeed, after the experience Of two years,
there should be any found in Spartanburg
District, who will not make crop for them
selves, or hire out, and aid in making one
fer somebody else.
Our principal idea in making these sug.
gestions, is to gather up all stragglers at
home, and put them to work, and let the
Commissioners provide for destitute families
the best they can while the crop is grow
ing Carolina Spartan. e
