Glorious Gen, Granti

1t is significant fact that the ouly Gen
raj besides Mcclellan, who has successfully
led an army against the Rebels, is in poll
tics, what the stay-at-home Abolitionists de-
nominate "Copperhead." We allude to
Gen. Grant, the hero of Ft. Donelson and
Vicksburg. He has gained the only two
great successes of the war, and yet he has
freely permitted the Chicago Times, the
New York World, and even the Bedford
Gazette to circulate within his lines, has
never suppressed single newspaper, nor
deprived single citizen of his civil rights.
Hurrah for Grant and every General like
him.

e3-The editor of the Inquirer, having failed
in his efforts to instigate white mobs, now turns
his attention to his "colored brethren" and sug-
gests to them the use of violence against the
whites. In his last issue he says that he has
Soften stood upon the street corners and beheld
colored men, women and children stoned, beat
en- and abused until' his every frame shook
with ire" Gall of which is nice little bit of ro-
nance, for, if it were true, our Courts would
soon right the wrongly and then he adds that
some forty negroes have lately entered the army,
which fact he halls "with joy; s'for, says he, it
tells us that the day is not far distant when the
colored man will protect himself against the out
RACES practiced upon him by the cowardly mis-
creants who never leave an opportunity pass
without offering him insults" This means that
the negroes being armed, when they return, are
to shoot down the white boys of whom this Dur
borrow complains. Now, the laws protect the
black man as well as the white, in person and
property, and if white boys maltreat the blacks,
the latter have civil and peaceful remedy. But
should the blacks ever attempt to take the law
into their own hands, and riot and blood-shed
ensue, the people Of Bedford will hold Mr.. Jo-
seph Il. Durborrow responsible for the crimes
against law and order committed upon his sur-
gestion.

Evidently, then, there are only two great

shedding their blood in the field against the le-

main at ease plotting the overthrow of the

A NEW BATCH OF ORDERS.---Ihe orders and
counter orders concerning the draft are flying
through the.country "thick as leaves in Vallam-
brosa." A new batch of them will be found in
the following circular from the Provost Marshal
General, dated July 2lst to the district provost
marshals throughout the country. 1t will be
seen that the three hundred dollar Communication
releases the conscript from serving during the
period,of three years. Just the same as ifhe had
himself procured the snbtitute:
l. Provost Marshals of drafted districts will
make complete muster rolls of drafted men, to
be forwarded with detatchments to proper depot.
2 They will see that the drafted men are pro-
vided with everything necessary for their entire
equipment, that no time may be lost in forwar-
ding them from the rendezvous 10 their final
destination, and give as many days notice as
possible to the commandant of the rendezvous
of the time when the drafted men will be turned
over.
3. When drafted men fail to report, the district
is not responsible for their desertion any more
than for the desertion of members of its quotas
in the field. The district must therefore be
credited for them.
4. The paying of $500 for ''procuration of
supstituteS, uhuer the law, tnroWs upon tne
government the responsibility Of proriding such
substitute, aud relieves the district therefrom.
1t is paid for ''procuration of substitute"
D. The district must present men liable to mill
tary service, suitable and acceptable-not ca
enapts. 1t cannot present for military service to
the government men who are exempt therefrom
by law. 1t must make up for them.
The last clause reads rather foggy, bnt a few
explanatory circulars will doubtless make it
clear. LaLor a1nclt onaaia.-Patlaot md Union.

eS~The draft has been suspended in the
Bradford district, owing tothe fact that the
papers of the Provost Marshal have been
stolen from his office. This is pretty well
for one Of the blackest Abolition districts
in the state. The "loyal men" of Brad
ford have very tender regard for their own
persons and will, doubtless, do any thing
to keep out of danger yet little longer.

Don't Deceive Yourselves.

With the delusiye idea, that people who have
welded arbitrary power, will willingly lay it
down.
The catch phrase is, "When the war is over,
there will be no occasion for the exercise of
these anusual means to preserve the peace"
1t won't do to trust people who find so many
pretexts for dispensing with the laws, and the
ordinary channels of public administration.
1t is by all odds the safest to cling to the old
party whose traditions are for strict construc-
tion of grants of power and liberal construction
of the reserved rights of the people.

a visit TO the COIOFed Soldiers at
Camp Delaware.

The town which borders R. R. navigation on
the west side is famous for its school OLehurches
with their snow white steeples piercing the sky
from q dozen hills in the eastern horizon of the
village. From this mountain-shest Of churches
may be seen many thousand Ieet Of the dia-
mOnd-cut white pailiDg below, encireling the
neat cottages richly decorated on all sides with
various vines and summer flowers. One mile
from the town, in a nOrtherly direction on an
elevated plain, is situated Camp Delaware, a
tract Of land known by the village boysas Del
assGre Grove At the base Of this elevated
land is a beautiful spring of as fine and healthy
water as can be found IN the State. Ina straight
line on each side forming a narrow street in the
center, are about fifty neatly constructed tents.
In the rear ofthese on a more elevated spot IS
situated the Colonel stent, overlooking the tents
below and better known about the camp as
Headquarters and at its top may be seen the
stars and stripes flying i9 the breeze. At the
right of this is the Postofiee, attended by an
intelligent and faithful colOred soldier. Having
friends at camp, l OF course had access to the
different tents, and it is with pleasure that Isay

Circular No. 75.-As the undersigned has
been led to fear that the law regulating the
draft was not wholly understood, notRithstand-
ing the numerous explanatory circulars that
have been issued from the national capital Of
late, he hereby Issues circular Of his own and
if he shall succeed in making this favorite meas
.ure more clear to a discerning public. he will
feel that he has not lived in vain:
I. A young man who is drafted and inadver-
tentIy goes to Canada, where he becomes en-
brOiled with robust English party, who knocks
him around 50 as to disable him for life, the
same, occurring in a licensed bar-room on Bri-
tish soil, such young man cannot receive a pen
sion on account ofsald injuries from the United
States Government, nor can his heirs nor cred
itOrs. ....
II, No drafted man in going to the appointed
rendezvous viii be permitted to go round by
way of Canada, on account of the roads being
better that way,or because his q uncle William -
lives there.
III. Any gentleman living in ireland, who
was never in this country, is not liable to the
draft, nor are our fOrefathers. The latter state
ment is made for the benefit of those enrolling
officers who have acted on the suppositiOn that
the able bodied male population of a place in
cluded dead gentlemen in the cemeteries.
". The term of enlistmentis is for three years,
but any man who may have been drafted in two
places, has right to go for six years, whether
the war lasts that length oftime or not-a right
this department hopes he will insist on.
v The only sons of poor widow, whose
husband is in California, are not exempt, but
the man who owns stock in the Vermont Cen
tral railroad is So also are incessant lunaties,
habitual lecturers, persons who were born with
wooden legs or false teeth, blind men (unless
they will acknowledge that they 'ean see it, '')
and people who deliberately voted for John
Tyler. -..-.-.
VI. No drafted man can claim exemption on
the ground that he has several children whom
he supports, and who do not bear his name, or
live in the same house with him, and who have
never been introduced to his wife, but who, on
the contrary, are endowed with various mothers,

intelligent young soldier, suffering from lame
ness, was standing. This lady. kindly offered
him her seat, which he politely declined; where
upon a city dame, occupying the next place,
gathered up her robes, and scornfully said she
thought things had come to pretty pass, when
a New York lady offered her seat to man,
especially a soldier.

Spelling phoneticaliyis simply utteringa word
one sound at time This we do everv time We
speak, but in such quick succession that it IS not
noticed. People are always looking for mystery
instead Of simplicity, and with this error added
to their prejudice, they decide against phonotopv
before they understand it, In the English Ian
guage there are forty-three sounds, and there
fore there are forty-three letters in the phonetic
alphabet, and as each and every letter, in every
case, represents the same sound, as in any single
case, it will be readily seen that all there is to
do is to lean the alphabet-that Is, the sounds
the letters represent-and the labor is forever
ended All who take an interest in the eduoa-
ton, progress and welfare of the human family,
should aid in this greatest Of all reforms; for
as sure as truth and reason ever conquer error
and prejudice, so surely will il succeed. The
words, old, gold, find, mind Ohio Iowa, and
thousands more, are spelled phonetically; then
why not all2 By so doing nine-tenths Of the
labor of learning to read would be saved.
Below we give the (proverbial) Fashionable
Young Lady's Prayer, lady, BY the way, one
