the most aristocratic viii he allowed to
"wipe their dirty boots on the, carpet OF
the magnificent East Room" "Dinner
parties. leeves, &c., will abound" at the
White House this winter, and only "dis-
tincuished" persons win be allowed to en-
ter the royal habitation. What through
the land is drcnched in the blood of its
own citizens what though from every
town and hamlet comes forth the widows
wall and orphans cry, and privation and
suffering is seen ON every hand, the "par-
ties :" .'eeves," and dazzling gaieties oil
the Presidential mansion must be kept up
and none shall be admitted to the brilliant
(estiyetie, bnt those who have piles OF
greenbacks, and are robcd in "purple and
fine linen" While thousands of soldiers
wives and children are stinted and perhaps
suffering for the neceesaries OF lie, and
while the fate Of the nation is trembling in
the balance of doubtful uncertainty the IN
mates of the Presidential mansion will
roll in the extravagant splendors OF un-
curbed dissipation, and make merry while
the outside world is weeping and sorrowing
over lost friends and ruined and blood
drenched country. But what care these
men for the sorrows and sulierings of the
people. They look upon them as seris to
do their bidding, ami toll and sweat to pay
far their lavish extravaganza. The money
which is to pay for all the extravaganza
fraud and corruption Of the men in power
is to come out of the toll and labor and
sweat of brow and brain Of the people
And they will be made to pay it, though
it be wrung from their very hearts blood
The picture Of the future in store for us is
not u pleasant one to contemplate, but we
cannot shut our eyes to the fact, that, I'M
less the people hurl from power the inn
bicies who are riotng on the ruin of the
country, and like NERO, fddling while It's
destruction is being consummated, the
worst has not been dreamed of.

The Baltimore Evening Transcript a
neutral paper started about two weeks ago
by WIN. II. NEmsoN, one of the former
proprietors of the Daily Gazette, was sup
pressed on the llth inst, by order Of
"Vienna" ScHENcK. The IranScript
contained no editorial, but was made up
entirely of telegraph dispatches, and selec-
tons from other papers. We have ex-
amined carefully the last number of the
paper and could find in its columns no.
thing whatever that could be construed
into cause for the petty tyranny that or
dered its suppression. ScHENcK did it
simply because he had the power. This,
and other acts OF the kind will some day
strike home at him as with lash Of
SCORPIONS.

brutality OF Army Surgeons.

Much complaint is made by returned sol
ders Of the barbarous conduct of many of
the army Surgeons-lar too much for the good
repute of that class Of officials. There is
little doubt of its extensive truth. Gentle
manly and decent, not TO say tender treat
ment, is imperetiyely demanded of these men,
and if it cannot be had otherwise let il be
enforced by a summary dismissal from the
army. Brutality like that described below
should neuer have an opportunity of re-
peating itself The man guilty Of it ought
TO be unstNpped and lashed Drumming
him ont of the army is too good for him.
Here is statement vouched for by the most
respectable authority' "a poor fellow from
Seneca county belonging to one Of the return
ed regiments from the Army of the Potomac,
had his leg amputated on the field. When
he awoke out of the effects of the choroform,
he expressed to the Surgeon n wish to see his
amputated limb The brutal reply was. 4
don't know whele your d-d leg is the last
l saw Of It the hogs had itr The soldier
swears solemn vengeance on that surgeon il
he catches him.

I'm the Market.

The original draft of Old ABE's Eman-
cipation Proclamation is offered for sale to
the highest bidder, the proceeds of the sale
to go to the relief of the sick and wounded
soldiers. IT has beeu in the market some
time, and the highest bid offered was two
thousand dollars, by a gentleman in
Maine The Propretors of that copper
head paper, the Chicago Times have
raised the bid, ana make the following of
fer:
"Old Abes original draft of the Emancipa-
ton Proclamation, sent to the recent Fair in
this city to he sold for the benefit of the sick
and wounded soldiers, has not, we learn from
the statement of n committee appointed to
sell it, yet been sold. The highest offer for
it, the committee state, is from gentleman
in Maine; tco thousand dOiias. We raise
the bid. We will give TuREE THOUSAND poI-
LARS for it, and the money is ready. This bid
is made in all earnestness. Now who will
give more? Let us know, and perhaps we
will bid again. We want the document, and
are willing to pay extrnvagantly for it, since
the proceeds are to go to the reliefol sick and
wounded soldiers
1t will be too bad to let the "precious"
document fall into the keeping Of copper
heads" We should think some of the
particular friends of the measure, would
run the document up to high figure.

Bs4~The radical Jacobins in Illinois are
threatening revolution in that State. The
Legislature is Democratic-strongly so--and
their proceedings have not been, and are not
expected to be OF character TO please the
Jacobins, This being the case, the Chicago
Tribune, Jsoobin organ, gives Governor
Yates the following advice
Governor Yates can pursue but one course,
and that is to disperse the body as Oliver
Cromwell did the refractory Parliament which
had become disgrace to the nation in his
day. These traitors have no right to come
here to plot more treason, after having been
sent about their business. Let Governor
Yates give way to no weak and puerile adviser,
whether in or out of the State House. in case
these fellows attempt to sit again, but act ac-
cording to the dictates Of his own mind and
conscience in this matter. The issue which
traitors have been seeking to bring on this
State ever since the commencement Of the
war might as well be tried now. The times
are auspieious for a favorable termination
of it.
