Gross OUTRAGE.-There are facts every dav
transpiring, says the Camden, New jersey
Democrat, among our forces in Va, which
if fully realized at home, would send thrill of
indignation throughout the State Thus we
know it to be fact, that, while the 18th
Regiment n. J. V, at White Oak Church,
Va, are endeavoriug to make the best of mise
rable shelter-tents about four feet high, their
own fine Sibley tents, which they took with
them from the State, marked with their regi-
mental stamp, are enjoyed by lot of lazy
negroes at Belle Plain Landing. OF course, it
is humiliating to know that our State author.
ties are powerless to correct the outrage, but
it is well for the people to understand how
much better the Administration treats negro
than Jerseyman."

DEAR RECORD Last evening the friends Of

gave an account of his stewardship, indorsed
the emancipation proclamation and all the acts
Of Sumner, Wade & Co., related nothing new
whatever. No alusion was made to the clothes
press or bribery proceedings at Sacramento
Judge Billings was elected Chairman, and
made a speech which has the ring of the true
metal" He denounced. in eloquent language,
the shoddy men and little great men who
are making money out Of their simulated pa
triolism. Said be: = We have plenty of men,
but in the men who govern Us, We want more
man" 1t seems little curious that his speech
was not reported in the morning papers.
The Union Democratic Central Committee,
which meets to morrow, will call Convention
on platform opposed to secession, for vigorous
prosecution of the war, and demanding of the
Administration that they no longer permit
radicalism. shoddyism, and peculation to turn
the war from its original purpose, and demand

nation be brought to bear on rebellion that
no more men be placed on the retired list after
their treason has been discovered aud acklotrl.

Feet have not been so rampant Of late
there is so much of it in market, lately, at very
low figures.
In local politics, our city election, in May,
is the topic. The demagogues have got con-
troll of the Union League here, and are using
it against the Peoples party The manner of
nomination of that party is very Objectionable,
yet their opponents are so much of the ward
robe order, that those who want good govern
ment have to support the Peoples party or
fare worse.

ICoMMUNICATED.1

Be not righteous over much Eccesiastes,
chapter vii verse l6.
When We see a sacrifice made for principles
sake we at once applaud, needing not or think
ing Of the motives which prompt the act. In
this age Of cant, as Carlyle calls it, it would
be well, however, before giving our praise, to
consider whether the principle at stake is of
sufficient interest to justify the sacrifice =
whether actual evil will result from its neglect,
and actual good from its discharge Unless
such showing can be made, it is evident the
sacrifice is useless, whether prompted by &C.
centricity, vanity, or mistaken benevolence.
We are led to making these reflections by
a communication in your last weeks paper
from Rev. Mr.. Woodman. 1t is our opinion.
Mr.. Editor, that clergymen, generally, would
do more good to the communities among whom
they reside by confning their attacks to the
more fragrant breaches of morality which come
under their notice, and by inculcating those
Christian virtues, faith, hope and charity,
about which all men, whether church members
or not, are agreed The dance, the social glass
and the theatre, are subjects on which Califor-
mans will think and act as they please brook
Ing no control. A pastor truly desirous of
doing good will bear that in mind and not BY
too rigid righteousness, which tie Great
Preacher rqprobated three thousand years ago
make religion distasteful to all.

Coop FOR EvIL.-In keokuk, Iowa, short
time ago, soldiers, under the command of
Lieutenant, entered the office of the Constitu-

it. They broke up the presses, and threw the
type into the river. They likewise carried
away valuable papers. This outrage naturally
created much feeling, and from four to FIVE
hundred assembled to destroy the office of the
Republican paper, but the editor of the Demo-
cratic paper that was destroyed, placed himself
in the door and induced them to forego the
unlawful purpose.
