III NO MEANS. NEW.
61me Of our contemporaries in New
York, give free expression to their surr-isc
that the " est should, au ut once, become
plamoroug about the tolls Of the New York
canals, and urgently demand their rcduc-
lion. This is on q par with the general
understanding of the whole subject, that
the metropolitan journals hare evinced
since the Legislature Of Illinois determined
to send dcputation Of citizens to Canada
to lay before the Provincial Government
The advantages that would follow the en-
largemcnt Of the Canadian canals. The
truth Is, that the West has been complain
ing ever since the New York canal tolls
were increased; and the representations
nnd rcmonsrances on the subject have
been 80 frequent and SO strong, that the
New York Chamber Of Commerce, as long
ago as December,-beforc the meeting Of
our LegisIature,-fe1t itself compelled to
give the subject attention; and in report
made to that body, it was demonstrated
that grain ought to be sent from Chicago
10 the sea-board at rates so much below
those now charged, that the West would
save Sixteen Millions Of Dollars per annum
thercbyt So, the surprised and astoundcd
Journalists, whose knowledge Of what has
been passing under their own noses is so
Imperfect, may blame themselves for hot
hearing the growls that the West has
a,tterpd-not the West for bearing her bur.

A Copperhead meeting, held at the village
Of Bagdad, Arco1a precinct, Douglas county,
H., recently adopted, among others, the fol-
lowipg resolutions:
ReeoIred, That we hereby de-
Psss oas T. n 1s
ist.nton II sai1E On hsf ab1ten &c esgssas
al nttcmpta to draft any Of our citizens into tho
army: and that We Will not permit any arhitsary

Fescipsd, That VIC regard the Emanc;patiou
Proclamation aa the final blow that has destroyed
all hope Of reconstruction Of tho Union rs 1t
was; re also view It as the entering wcdse which
cru States from our Notwithstanding, puritanical,
fa1atical New England brethren, and finally cu1ni-
nate in the formation Of a Democratic Republic
ont Of the Middle, Northwestern and Southern
States. And for this wc arc thankful.
And get these men object to being called
truitors. II they carry out their Intentions,
as declared In tho first resolution, there is not
m honest court In Illinois or any other State
| In the Union that would not eonsign them to
the halter, II they failed In meeting theiE de-
serts By means Of balls and bayoncts. In
man nor another dollar for the prosecution OF
the war. When the country is engaged in q
| contest for its very cxistcnce-when thous-
ands upon thousands Of martyred patriots are
being sacrificed upon Its altar, for the saliva
tion Of civil 1lbcrty y-and men will ret to:
gether and pass such resolutions, they brand
themselves as traitors, and deserve traitors
doom. It is no wonder that the soldiers hate,
despise and letest them; it Is no wonder that
they express their Willingness and even de,
sire to turn the mouths OF their cannon and
the points Of their bayonets upon them, and
| exterminate traitors North as well as rebels
| South; and It Is no wopder that the feeling
| among loyal mcn ut home should be so bitter
against the yipcrs that are trying to sting the
and p1ospcrity.-Iaris (IN.} Bacon.

significant fact that the Rome Sentinel, a De-

The Sentind is evidently disgusted with the
fast-aud-loose policy Of Its friends. 1t can't
understand how they can at once Eavor "thif

way Of its successful prosecution. And it,
perplexity is natural.

THE DISASTER NEAR
FRANKLIN.
Black Rebel Regiments In the Fight.

lFIUUl luE Ndauf1ut QulQus I'LL
a gentleman who came in from franklin
yesterday evening, brings the following par.
ticulars Of an engagement which took place
near franklin, on Thursday, about which all
kinds Of runors hare been circulating for the
last twenty -four hours. He states that Gene
raj Gilbert sent out three regiments Of infaut-
ry and battery, on q certain expedition, With
keep up skirrnishing If they encountered the
enemy. The design was, we belieye, to effect
junction with another force. a few miles
out they fell in with small force Of the rebel
cavalry, and attacking them, drove them
back, II the vicinity Of the Columbia pike,
Franklin, when they we're suddenly hanked
by IN overwhelming force Of Van Dorn's cav
airy, with mounted Infantry and artillery. 4
fierce engagement cnsued, during which our
forces, being assa11ed BY. Mt least four times
their own number, were driven back. During
diana was attacked By two rebel negro regi-
ments. Our artiEerists double shotted their
guns and cut the black rebels to pieces, and
brought their battery safely of.
The tight began with skfrmishing at about
nine O'Clock ii the morning, and lasted until
three In the afternoon. Our forces retrcated
into Franklin.
The firing was distinctly heard at Franklin
during the day. Why Gen. Gilbert sent no
reinforcements out from the large force sta
toned at Franklin, We are unable to imagine.
It appears Passing strange TINT an army which
could have crushed the rebel force to pieces
was kept idle while tho thunder of battle
raging not four miles of, was sounding 70,
six hours In their ears.
|. It has been stated repeatedly, for two weeks
past, that large number, perhaps one-fonrth
Of Van Dorn's force were negro soldiers, ana
the statement is fully confirmed By this unfor
tunate engagement. Ths Southern reeel:
forced their negroes to take up arms to des
troy this Government, and enslayc us aud on
children.

CONSUMPTION.

The military laws Of nations arc pretty
accurate barometer Of the civilization which
obtains amongst them. Where the necessary
tlespotism, upon which all such laws are
founded, is tempered By humanity, and
reasonable consideration for the welfare Of
the soldier, We may predicate general high
tone in the ciri1ity Of the State; and where
these Laws are absolute, and unmitlgated in
their severity, ne may be equally sure that
society is very low down in the ganut both
Of intelligence aud morality. e
The great Governments Of Europe-great,
that Is to Say, in The numbers which they
rule, md IN the vast physical extent Of their
dominionb-haye gradually, during the slow
process OF centuries, purged their military
laws Of many cruel aud batbarous features,
not only with respect to cnlistments and CON
scription, but to punishments also, which
in olden times often amounted to the extreme
penalty Of death for very triaing offences.
A comparison Of the various conscript laws
Of Europe with our own will show how much
ours exceed theirs in forethought for our
people, and how much We have to be thank
ful for. -,
The Code de Ia Conscription Of France forms
part Of the French system Of Jurisprudence,
and furnishes the most complete body Of rc-
gulatious for working that tremendous sys.
ten Of oppression.
It was first published in the form Of gen
cral law, By the Council Of Ancients, in 17as.

flcatlons. without changing Its character,
