Why are not our soldiers paids
There are thousands Of them des-
titute of clothing, freezing and
dying; their families at home are
starving, and the wages due them
rom government are withheld.
The Government has the money.
and can pay. The Qartermaster's
Department must be held respon.
sible for not furnishing clothing,
and s. p. Chase, the S, cretary
of the Treasury. is responsible for
withholding the pay of the sold
iers. His last report proves this
He has no subterfuge by which
he can divest himself Of response
bility. He is now urging his bank
scheme in Congress, and we have
intimations that there shall not
he a dollar !isbursed to the sold
isrs until the bill is passed sub
stantially as he has drafted it.
This is one of the abolition meth
DDS Of pressure. This is in keep
ing with the pressure with which
he threatened the President, few
months since, and by which he
compelled oh. dience from that
weak and vacillating instrument
employed by abolitionists to work
their internal purposes. There
can be no good reason given for
this shameful re.e ntion of the
soldiers pay. There is a "lurk-
ing devil" at the bottom oft, and,
when he is unearthed, he will be
found in the semblance of Secre-
tary Chase's bank bill. Times.

Gov. Robinson Of Ky. thinks
the emancipation proclamation
will work an irr parable injury
to that state. In speaking Of it to
the Legislature OF that state he
SAYS" The proclamation will have
the effect to ffe the whole South
'n'o ono burning mass Of mex
haus'ible hate, and will destroy
all hope Of restoring the Union.
which Is only possible by adher-
;ng to the Constitution as it was.
The most alarming aspect Of the
exclamation is the usurpation Of
he powers Of the Government by
the President, under the speoious
plea Of military necessity"
If Mr.. Lincoln or the radicals can
draw any crumbs of comfort from
his we should like to see them.

u. s. Circuit Court.

JUDGES CLIFFORD AND WARE PRESIDING.
FRIDAY-The grand jury came in and re-
turned bill of Indictment against William
McGrath for assault and battery on james w.
Sloan, on board the bark Fannie E. Sherwood.
The grand jurors we're then discharged.
McGrath was then arraigned for the offence
and pleaded not guilty. Subsequently he with
drew the plea of not guilty and pleaded guilty.
As this appeared TO be his first offense Judge
Clifford said he was disposed to deal lightly
with the prisoner, cautioning him at the same
time to beware how he came before the Court
again. When the accused is destitute of
means, 1t is the practice of the Court to i'm
pose only a nominal fine, and put the punish
ment to hard labor, as the poor debtors law
does not apply to fines in the U. S. Court, and
a heavy fine would be greater punishment,
in such case than the law contemplates.
McGrath was then sentenced TO pay fine
of five dollars, and to hard labor in the Jail for
three months.
Court then adjourned to 10 o'clock Saturday
morning.

A NOBLE woMAS.-Last Wednesday Mis-

A NOBLE woMAN.-Last Wednesday Miss
Mary Clark, residing near Robinson Hill in
Bethel, while going home, observed a slide take
place in the cut on the Atlantic & St. Law
renee railroad, and at the same time heard
train approaching. Knowing that the train
would be thrown from the track, and in ali
probability that loss Of life would occur, as the
slide took place on curve where the danger
could not be seen until too late 10 avoid 1t, she
ran swiftly round the curve, waived her shawl
aud shouted rs loudly as possible. She was
observed by Mr.. Chandler, engineer of the
freight train, who, from the actions of Miss
Clark, knew there must be something wrong.
He pulled up the train as quick as possible
and stopped It when within few feet of the
slide, which covered both rails Of the track to
the depth of i've or six feet, distance OF the
length Of two cars. Mr.. Chandler says If he
had run on TO 1t the damage would have been
thousands Of dollars, to say nothing Of casual
tics Of life and limb, and but for the warning
given BY the lady he could not have escaped
disaster.
Those who were on board the freight train
highly appreciate the noble conduct of this
lady, aud are determined to express IL in
substantial manner. We have no doubt the
Grand Trunk Company will testify their obi
CATION in . similar way. Such conduct Is
worthy Of all praise.

cg-Tbe st. John On. b. Telegraph says Of
Harper for May, Barring the chapter of
Scenes in the War Of 1912, the reading mat
ter in this number is very interesting What
an incomprehensible affair the war of 1912
must be to the average British mind! In 1911
the British press, with the good taste and
sense so natural to the Bull family, was boast
ing that the Americans "could not be kicked
into a war;" After our patience was ex-
hausted and war was declared, we captured
within the year over so armed vessels and $50
merchantmen, with something like 1900 Brit
ish prisoners, and the Telegraph does not find
the record Interesting

MADAME BIsHoP.-The Concert last eve
ming by Madame Anna Bishop was perfect
success. The spacious hall was well filed,
and no concert in our city this season has
been received with such unbounded enthu-
siasm. Madame b. seems to possess all the
charm Of earlier days, and she shows her wis
dom by making English words predominant
In her programme. The flute, violin, cornet-
a-piston and piano-solos, were admirably exc
cuted, and nearly all of them were loudly
encored But for the rain. which commenced
just as people were starting for the concert,
the hall would have been crammed
Madame Bishop and troupe give their next
concert in Dover, N. H., on Monday evening.

WASHINGTON, April "a.
James l.. Addison, clerk in the Adjutant

Addison, clerk in the Census Office, have pub
lshed card, pronouncing as false the widely
published allegation that they are rebel spies
and mail carriers, and that through their in
strImentality important army orders had been
furnished to the enemy. The former only was
arrested on Saturday night, but as he con-
tinues at his desk, It'll fair to suppose that the
investigation Of the case did not establish the
truth Of the suspicion affecting his loyalty

PROTECTION OF BLACK SOLDIERS. Gener-
al Hunter, few weeks ago, made commu-
nication to General Beauregard, giving him
formal notice that he should retaliate promptly
every outrage or wrong done to any Of our
black South Carolina or Florida troops who
might fall into rebel hands; and he added,
what was perhaps the most effective part of
his threat, that In choosing rebel prisoners
upon whom TO retaliate, he proposed carefully
TO select those who owned the greatest number
OF slaves. Thus for every black soldier Beau
regard hangs-according to his threat-Gen-
Hunter will hang two shareholders. There
will not be many more black soldiers hanged
by Beauregard.

NEW YORK, April "a.

following items:
The President Is about TO confer the rank of
Brevet Brigader General upon meritorious
Colonies commanding brigades.
Ii is understood that there are British par
ties in this city who are endeayoring to make
arrangements with the government for the
colonization Of negroes in Honduras.
The Worlds dispatch says it is thought that

twelve miles from fredericksburg, and that
not more than 10000 or 5000 men are In the
immediate vicinity of the latter place.

There seems to be, says the Boston
Journal, an unwonted tenacity in the Polish
instruction. Instead of being terminated, as
at one time seemed probable, by the removal
of Langiewicz and the dispersion of the army
under his immediate command, it suffered
nothing apparently from the event, aud has
been increasing in area, strength and conf
dence ever since. Is now comprehends the
whole Of ancient Poland, and is still spread
ing. Recruits are constantly leaving Paris,
consisting of Frenchmen as well as Poles,
and there is no doubt of the transmission of
continual aid from Italy and other countries.
The policy of the combatants appears to have
changed somewhat, tending to more general
assumption of a guerrilla character. This
renders 1t more difficult to estimate the mill
tary progress of the affair, but there is no
doubt that the change is to the advantage of
the Poles in the present stage of their struggle.

~ One of the Copperhead leaders at Ban
gor is reported in the Democrat OF that city to
have said In recent supper table rpeech, that
upon the Democracy of the country rests
great responsibility" that lit is their duty first
to restore the old country as it was in its bet
ter days, and failin 9 in that, to lay the Joun-
dalton Of a neu Government" &c. !, Such
foundations are usuly laid in blood, and the
Copperhead revolutionists might as well I'M
derstand that they will be required to furnish
large amount of this material-poor though
1t be II drawn from their vens-before the
loyal men OF the country will consent to use
1t to cement the foundations of ne,c Govern
ment TO be erected upon the ruins of that
which Washington aud his contemporaries
LEFT as lasting legacy for their posterity.
This country cW not 90 dorn; but if traitors
should succeed in undermining its founda-
tons, and II should fall with a crash, the Cop
perhead gentry need not fatter themselves
that they are to escape the general ruin. This,
so sure as the heavens stand, is the fiat OF the
people, proverbially forbearing and long suf-
feEing, but terrible in their rctributions.
