THIS IS AN ABOLITION wAR."-7

THIS Is AN ABOLITION WAR."-These
words are not ours. We insist that this war
must and shall be, in spite of every effort
made to pervert it from its true, original
and only lawful purpose, war for tn t Un-
ion. But the boast that it has thus been
perverted, is openly made by representa-
tives of the ruling party. Col. Stone. the
Abolition candidate for Governor of Mime
soto. thus declaims:
"I admit that this is an Abolition aoGr. It
was not such at the start, but the Admins
tration has discovered that it could not su b.
due the South else than by making it an
Abolition war, and they have done 1t; and 1t
will be continued as an Abolition war 80 long
as there is one slave at the South to be made
free. > l would rather eat with a mig
| GER. drink with a niger, and sleep with a
bigger, than with a Democrat"
Herceforth, let no Abolitionist open his
mouth, if his political opponent claims that
the war for the Union has been converted

MILITARY TYRANNY.-The newspapers
from all parts of the country bring us ac-
counts of arrests. hand cuttings and impris-
onments of innocent persohs, suffered at th e
hands of Provost Marshals and their assist
ants, without possibility of relief, except by
the means of military commanders, and
without any redress at all. A man may be
tapped on the shoulder. at his work or in
the street, told he is deserter, ironed in
stantly, and taken to the cars, hurried off to
an other State, and there thrust into prison
to await tine pleasure of his irresponsible
captors, or their equally irresponsible SUI
perors. The chance of redress in such cases
is but as one to hundred. If wrong is
done, even by mistake, it is for the interest
of those who did tito avoid exposure, and
so the injured citiz 81 Is sent forward, under
guard, to the army, whence. it may be
hoped, he will never escape alive to con-
front his kidnappers. The suspeusi on of
the habeas corpus prevents all judicial inter-
ference with the arrests. The military
powes is supreme, and under the pressure of
its arm the laws are silent. The protection
which the Abolitionists clamored for in be-
half of the runaway negro is now denied to
every white man in the North, by Govern
ment elected in tho interest of Abolition

different Interests, so peace restores them to

strife, he uses his influence aud wisdom to-

AS all men are represented to be in state

in his connection with white men, he is a

Terrible Fight Between a Grizzly Bear
and an Ammiss.

A correspondent of the Portland (Oregon
Times, writing from Bann0ck City, in tn,
Boise Mines, Idaho Territory, tells the fol-
lowing story, which may believed by thos.
who are fond of wonders:
A terrible fight between a mountain am
miss and grizzly bear was witnessed by q
small party of mountaineers a short time
since, on the road leading from here to
Lewiston. The party had stopped to camp
!or the night, when suddenly wild and ter
rife screaming and fearful sounds burst upon
their ears, indicating deadly combat be-
tween two forest monsters. The scene of
action was near, but out of sight. The party
were silent listeners during the desperate
conflict, the sounds of which stuck terror to
the stoutest-hearted mountaineer. Finally
the sound died sway-the conflict was ended
An honr of silence elapsed, and the party
ventured slowly and cautiously toward the
spot, from whence those doleful sounds had
emanated. As they nesred the spot, the
victorious ammiss passed before them into
thelungle. On coming to the place of the
deadly struggle. they found dead and bleeding
a large she bear. that would weigh probably
800 or 1,O0c pounds.
The grizzly was bitten through and
through the neck, and fearful gashes were
inflicted on the body, laying bare the ribs
and shoulder blades, surprising the effects
OF repeated strokes from heavy cutlass or
bowie knife. 1t seems that the ammiss de-
sired to make a meal of the cub to which |
the SD Q bear objected, hence the fight ensued;
and it was such fight as mortal man scarcely
ever witnessed, aud none but bears aud lions
participate in. The mountain ammiss is an
animal half way between an African lion
and Bengal tiger. 1t is described by a
n ountaineer as follows: "His form is much
ike the lion, being very heavy before and
light behind, with perfect lions tail, but
acking the mane. though the hair forward
IN the neck was longer than on the rest of
he body; has a round ear, dark streaks
IrtHnd the eyes and up and down the face.
IIso running down the legs. The body is
ONE darker in color than that of the lion,
nd free from stripes. His foot is lions
Jaw. This beast of prey has lately been
discovered in these mountains, and the
mmiss is a wonderful auimal-no doubt
be king of beasts in the forests of Idaho.-
When his angry voice is heard, the beasts
t the forests crouchingly seek their hiding
laces." II

EwIng's DepopuIated District.

We received call this week from the
Hon. Davis Wilson, member of the House
| from Riley county in 1862. He Is at pre-
sent connected with the Provost Marshal g
| Office of the District Of the Border at Kansas
City. We learn from him that Gen. Ew-
ing's Order-No. 11-that four counties of
Missouri should be depopulated, has been
| carried out to the letter-that is, the origin
al order has been carried out. 1t will be
recollected that a supplementary order was
issued by Gen. Ewing, to the effect. that no
buildings were to be destroyed-they were
to be saved, to be occupied by loyal inhabit
ants. Mr.. Wilson informs US that but very
few houses are left in trip of country some
30 by 100 miles. except around the towns.
The men in that region were almost wholly
in the rebel army, and have been for long
time. The WON en- and children had all left
since the promulgation of the order, taking
what furniture and stock they chose to; the
furniture lett, together with the houses hav-
ing been burned 10 houses, some of them
of great value-worth it is said, as high as
$4,000. The whole country has been
desolated; what few men remained were
shot, unless their loyalty was proved. 1t is
severe lesson; and to those who do not
know that those counties for years have
ed and devastated Kansas. 1t may seem
barbarous. Thep pie of Kansas, however
know these facts, aud knew that just de-
vastation was the only course to insure safe
ty to them.- Topeka Kansas Record.

The Shadows in the Valley.
By n. L. FLASH.

There's a mossy, shady valley,
Where the waters wind and flow,
And the daisies sleep in winter,
Meath coverlid of snow;
And violets, blue-eyed violets,
Bloom in beauty in the spring,
And the sunbsams kiss the wavelets,
Till they seem to laugh and sing.
But in autumn, when the sunlight
Crowns the cedar-covered hill,
Shadows darken in the valley,
Shadows ominous and still;
And the yellow leaves, like banners
Of an Elm host. that's fed,
Ting'd with gold and royal purple,
Flutter sadly overhead.
And these shadows, gloomy shadows,
Like dim phantoms on the ground,
Stretch their dreamy lengths forever
Ou daisy-covered mound.
And 1 loved her, yes, loved her,
But the angels loved her, too,
So she's sleeping in the valley,
Meath the sky SO bright and blue.
And no slab of pallid marble,
Rears it's white and CHASTITY head,
Telling wanderers in the valley
OF the virtues of the dead.
Bnt a lily is her tombstone,
And a dew-drop, pure and bright,
Is the epitaph an angel
Wrote in stiffness of the night.
And I'm mournful, very mourntul,
For my soul doth ever crave
For the fading ofthe shadows
From that little woodland grave.
For the memory of the loved one'
From my soul will never part;
And those shadows in the valley
Dim the sunshine of my heart.

Exhaustion of the North and South.

Ne
Tho fallacy pervading Mr.. Seward'sviews
and the views of all his countrymen, lies in
the assumption that the North ia liable to
DO such exhaustion, but enjoys resources
without limit. II seems to be forgotten that
the population of the Federal States is, after
all, little more than twice that of the
South ern Statee, blacks included, and is only
about equal to that of England and Wales;
and though the Northerners may have twice
the m cans of their antagonists, yet they have
been living twice as fast. They have main
tained armies twice numerous. and suf-
fered losses twice as large. The CoBfederates
have raised 100000 men, lost $50 600. ard
are proposing to raise another 100000. The
Federsls have raised, according to various
estimates from 1000 900 to !. 100000. have
lost 500 600 or 100000. and are preparing
to raise 800 900 more. They have expended,
therefore, as much of stren 9Th as the South
has done; and there seems, indeed, every
reason to believe that President Davis will |
obtain bis 10O, 900 fresh troops more easily
than President Lincoln his 100000 In fact, |
however Mr.. Seward may speak of the mex
baustible resources of the North in "money,
material and men," there are signs enough
of decline in the supply of soldiers. En-
listing has failed, volunteering has failed,
and it is very plain that the conscrption is
now failing. Nor can we wonder at the
event. or regard it as premature.
Let the reader imagine, if he can, FIVE
armies as large as our present army raised
not from Great Britain and Ireland, but from
England and Wales alone, in the space of
two years, and he will get an idea of the
draughts made upon the North. The State
of Illinois alone has sent between 10000 |
and 10000 troops to the war. which is as 1
much as if we were to raise force of that {
magnitude from the southern division of the I
county of Lancaster. 1t is a race Of ruin, 10
short. between North and South; but though !
the North hastwice the capital of the South |
to draw upon, its outgo:ngs are twice as c
heavy, its task more than twice as severe t
and its people neither SO unanimous nor so a
desperate. Our correspond ence tells us how a
large"a portion Of the Northern people have s
30 heart in the war, but Governor Letchsr's a
message teaches us how little the Southern 7
people are thinking of peace. These con- d
iitions go far to compensate the numerical a
nferiority of the Confederates. and render it t
probable that the exhaustion of strength is
practical lSSfeit by both com batants in about o
IN equal degree. We only wish it would p
induce them to terminate the strife.

WANT OF CoUBAaE.-Sidney Smith, in
his work on moral philosophy, speaks in this
wise of what men lose for want of little
brass, as it is termed.
A great deal of talent is lost to the world
for the want of little courage. Every day
sends -to4their graves a number of obscure
because the timidty has prevented them
from making first effort, and who, il they
could only have been induced to begin,
would, in all probability have gone great
lengths in the career of fame. The fact is,
that in order to do anything in the world
worth doing, you must not stand shivering
on the bank. aud thinking of the cold and
danger, but jump in and scramble through
ss we'll as you can. 1t will not do to be per-
petually calculating risks and adjusting nice
chances; it did all very we'll before the
flood, when a man could consult his friends
upon an intended publication for hundred
and fifty years, and then live to see it sue
cess for six or seven centuries afterwards;
but at present man waits and doubts, and
consuts his brother, and his uncle, and his
first cousin, and his particular friends, till
one fine day he finds that he is sixty-ive
years of age. that he has lost much time in
consulting first cousins and particular friends;
that he has no more time left to follow
their advice. There is SO little time for
over squeamishness at present that the op-
portunity slips away. The very period of
life at which a man chooses to venture, ifE
ever, is so confined, that it is no bad rule to
preach up the necessity il such instances, of
a little violence done to the feelings, aud of
efforts made in defiance of strict and sober
calcul lakion

ADvins Snldier,s Tale.

A boy of some eighteen summers lay oil
the battlefield near Fredericksburg, mortal
y wounded. He lay all day, unmindful o.
the scorchiug sun and the roaring of artil-
iery. Cannon balls few past tanning his
pale cheek on their deadly mission, but he
knew it not. At last he awoke to conscious
ness and looked around him. The moon
was shining calmly on the boyish face; the
blood oozing slowly from his side was evi.
dence that his young life was almost spent.
For moment he pressed his trembling hand
to his side to ease the throbbing pain, and
the pale, bloodless lips parted with sigh
of agony. A wounded soldier near, hearing,
inquired if he was badly wounded. 'Yes,'
replied the dying boy, Il am dying. and /
want my m motherl For when they compell-
ed me to leave her she babe me come back
to her for / was the staff Of her declining
years. l promised her 1 would; but am
dying now, and shall never see her more"
The boy went en- to say, for it seemed to
relieve his mind to talk, when they told
my mother her only child was drafted and
would have to 60 to war, she said not a word
until we were left alone; then she came to
me and laid her white arms around my neck
and kissed me. could not speak then, so
returned her caress silently. At last she
spoke: George have buried two sons. and
the next one called was your father. With
a sad ,alm ost broken heart, heard the clods !
of the valley fall on his csffin I'D. and tried
to bear this affliction with christian fortitude,
and l succeeded, for,I had you to lean upon,

lt would be useless to tell you the days
spent by me to raise money to buy substi-

90, and they would care for my m mother until
came back. They said it was but nine
months and it would soon pass away. But
am passing away instead, and my mother
will be left alone! Here his voice sank to
