The HmitatOTs of the JacObinS
OF France.

During the French Revolution, like
the one now agitating this unhappy
land, the principle of the Government
was loud profession of patriotism and
love for the nationality, and its agency
was force. "The principle of Demo.
cratic Government" said Robespierre,
"is virtue, and its engine while estab.
fishing itself, is terror. To attain this
aim there was required an austere and
energetic Government, which should
overcome resistance of all kinds"
Here we have the utterances of the
leader of that school in which our mod.
ern Abolition Jacobins have so carefully
studied, aud of whose doctrines of ter.
rorism they have become such imitators.
SAID St. just in his report on the gen
eral police of the Commonwealth: "The
Foundation of all great institutions is
terror" The midnight arrests by this
wretched Admiuistration-the basties
crowded with State prisoners, sent there
without charge and without process
the domiciliary visits Of the military po-
lice, the unjust. assessments upon quiet,
unpretending, and innocent citizens, and
the hordes of spies that the Government
keeps in its employment, all proclaim
that the objects of the Administration
are, by system of organized terrorism,
to strike fear into the people. 1t is the
conspiracy Of the Jacobins of France
revived. Listen to the denunciatory
words OF Vergimand against the Jaco.
bin conspirators of seventeen aud nine.
three, and note how opposite they are
when applied to these Abolition Jaco
bins of eighteen hundred and sixty
three. .......
THE great body Of citizens are 81
blinded by the glare of financial specu
lation that they confound the condition
of affairs with grand national move
ment iu favor of freedom-regard th
violence Of brigands as the efforts Of en-
ergetic minds, and consider robbery it
self as Indispensable for the public safe
ty. You are free, say they, but unles
you think like US, we will denounce 20
to the nationality. You are free, bu
unless You bow before the idol that "
worship. we will deliver you up to vic
/ lenes Of the nationality you have insult
. ed" ..s'.
This is exactly the language Of tn
Loyal Leagues Of day, as it was th
, language OF the Jacobin Clubs of l79;

Drunkenness In DinmOnds.-In In
Camp mud Court.


The war has worked monstrous de-
moralization. The Washington carres-
pundent Of the New York Independent,
writing under date Of October "a, 1858,
says: "There was a sight to be seen in
broad daylight a few days ago, in front
Of the Presidential mansion, which gave
those who witnessed it shocking idea
Of theonward strides which the vice of in-
temperance has made in good society,"
during the last few years. A woman
clad in the richest and most fashionable
garments, with the diamonds flashing
from the slender fingers 10 the slant west.

At last he arose aud started on, sway.
ing to and fro, and yet soon rested again,
utterly unable to proceed. The carriage
of a foreign Minister passed blythe
poor woman was noticed, and it turned
stopped, took in the lady, and carried
her to her luxurious home. For the la
dy is wealthy, aud occupies high social
position; but she was drunk in the streets
Of Washington.
Drunkenness prevails almost every
where, in camp and courtl 1t is vice
above all others, that cripples the army.
The poor soldier drinks, gets drunk, and
Is aaiisssS.acefully punished for it. The
officer does the same thing, aud is not
even reprimanded. 1t would astonnd
some of the sober, devout people OF tne
free States, to learn how many young
men, officers in the army, have been
ruined by strong drink.
The War Department is making every
effort to prevent intoxicating liquors
from the common soldiers, but why does
it not also prohibit drinking among OIL
cers2. One half of the Brigadier Gen
erals, now on pay, know far better how
to swallow prodigious quantities o.
whisky, than to manage a brigade o.
troops upon field of battle! 1t is time
that good men everywhere spoke out up
on the subject"

The Cost Of Washington Living.

Prices of board and lodging at the
Federal Capital seem to be on q rate
with Richmond rates, and persons VINO
intend to be present at the opening oil
Congress must make arrangements to &C
with pockets stuffed with greenbacks.--
A Washington letter of the 18th to the
Gazette states that prices are still going
up--that gentleman who aspires to the
modest comfort of a little parlor and bed
room in the second or third story of a
house not absolutely inaccessible, must
pay from fifty to hundred dollars q
month for it, and is fortunate if, after he
has closed his bargain, the landlady
doesn't unconcernedly add, "coal and
gas extra, of course, SIR" Rooms OF
any size in good localities, cannot be had
for less than hundred, and from that
up to a hundred and fifty dollars a month.
The most crampen, inconvenient little
cuddy.hole, into which can be squeezed
bed and wash.stand, costs twenty to
thirty dollars. Houses that rented hf'
teen months ago for twelve hundred, now
bring three thousand. Boarding is worse
than lodging. Hotels have gone up to
four dollars day, and charge two and a
half for meals alone. What the board
ing houses may ask, I don't know; bu,
there is no fear of their falling far be
hind. If one who can, flies in despair
to house. keeping, matters grow worse
The markets. are miserable, and veg
etables and groceries are higher thar
rents.

Why Some People Favor the
WnP

As long as the war continues there
will be contractors; as long as the Abo'
lition party are kept in power these con.
tractors lbeing political favorites) will
amass large fortunes in short time. -
Money acquired rapidly is spent prodi'
gally--at hotels, theaters, fashionable
resorts, &c. To learn that some people
are making the war pay, read an ex.
tract from the New York Sunday Dis
patch:
"TheY say that the St. Nicholas ac-
tually clears epe hundred thousand dol
lars year. The Metropolitan is re-
ported to clear one thousand eight nun.
dred dollars week; the Fifth Avenue,
two thousand dollars; the La Earge, one
thousand two hundred dollars; the New
York, one thousand FIVE hundred dollars;
the Astor House, nine hundred dollars,
and SO on. The theaters, at the same
time, are gathering the soap quite as
handsomely in proportion.

We have now in the United States at
least two hundred and thirty.6ve general
hospitals for the use of the soldiers, con-
tanning about eighty thousand patients.
To show on what a large scale our bat
ties have been fought, as we do every
thing else, it seems that during four
months Of 1862 there were treated at our
hospitals twenty thousand nine hundred
and thirty cases of gunshot wouads.-
The wounded Of the whole British army

great mass of the people-but there is
one class who do not care how long it

are making fortunes out of it, and the
longer it continues the more money will
find its way into their pockets. 1t re-
minds us of the old story of the two boys

sented to them, they breught him home,
and determined to have him trained -
They brought The old man into the room,
and had him on his knees to help give
their pup training. Directly the dog
saw the old man be struck Tor him and
got him by the nose. The big boy said
