it has no authority to do? Were the administra-

exclusively of negroes who cannot be its citi-

Holy Name of Him who at this Christmas time,
was heralded by angels as bringing ''peace to
men of good will.''

lation, by which this land is becomming mast
desolate Haze you accomplished anything {?
Did we not forewam you so? If you are so blind
as not to see, you ought to trust those whohave
proved they can see. Stop this war! Wicked

The Philadelphia Press, of the 24th ult.,
which is presumed to speak for the Administra-

'.The course Of the Administration in arrest
ing traitors will be governed by the circumstan-
ces that controlled it in other times. If the
danger should again demand the summary arrest
of traitors in New York. ttey ~iA be a,7ysted.'
If by 'traitors," the Press means Democrats,
or Old Line Wings, or Conservatives, in New

ed, they WILL BE LIBERATED, by the whole posse

drifting into Anarchy

The editor Of the Bedford Abolition Inquire,
asks ''are we drifting into anarchy?" We an
swer, yes; we have insisted that such was the
case ever since the present crazy Administra-
tion begun their unparalleled usurpations of
power. We rejoice that cur Abolition neigh
Dor has, at last, so far got hiseye open as to
zee what has long been patent to every body
except The radical Abolitionists Whether his
conversion to our view of this matter is because
the Gazette sheds an occasional streak Of light
into the dark recesses Of his Uranium, or be-
cause the nine days blindness of his editorial
puppyhood have about expired, we are unable
to soy. We accept the fact without inquiring
too closely as to the reason; and Ior once agree
with him: ''We are drifting into anarchy
When men who are charged with no offence
can be arrested and thrown into dungeons with
out warrant of law when they are denied the
writ of habeas corpus, and the sacred constitu-
tonal right of trial by jury, and dismissed with
without a hearing, there is danger of anar-
chy. When free speech is suppressed, and
the press muzzled by power more arbitrary
and despotic than Napolean Third or the Gar
of Russia would dare to exercise when edi-
tors are imprisoned for exposing the crimes Of
scoundrels in high places, and their offices gut
ted by nfuriated mobs Of Abolitionists who
proclaim that
''John Bropa is John the Baptist
0f The Christ that is 10 co,Ds"
there is danger Of anarchy; great danger. His
tory bristles all over with instances in which
such provocation has caused the most dreadful
anarchy, and history may soon have to record
another instance.
But whilst the Inquirer man sees clearly as
to the fact of the danger he is blind as ever as
TO the cause. Let us hope that a few days of
vigorous blinking will open his optics entirely,
and enable him to see clearly ''face to face"
In the meantime the old game of ''stop thief"
will not serve him. The time has gone by when
he can make people believe that Democrats are
responsible for the anarchy he so much breads.
On the contrary the country is settling down
to the conviction that, if anarchy comes, it will
be because the powers that be have trampled
upon the Constitution and disregarded every
right most sacred to FREE,IEN.

Whereas a communication was addressed
on the 6th day Of July, 1862, by Gen. Robert
y. Ice, acting nnder the instructions Of the
Secretary Of War Of the Confederate States OF
America, TO Gen. II. W. lIa!lock, commander
in-Cl.ief Of the United States Army, informing
the latter that q report had reached this Gov
ernment that Wm. b Mumtord, citizen of the
Confederate States, had been executed by the
United States authorities at New Orleans for
having pulled down the United States flag ia
that city before it's occupation by the u. States
forces, and calling for statement of the facts
with view of retaliation if such an outrage
had really been committed under the sanction
of the authorizes Of the United States;
Aad ,chereas (no answer having been receiv-
ed to said lctter,) another letter was, on the I'd
of August last, 1862, addressed by Gen. Lee,
under my instructions to Gen. Halleck, renew
ing the inquiries in relation to the execution of
said Mumford with the information that in the
event of not receiving reply within l5 days,
it would be assumed that the fact was true, and
sanctioned by the Government of the u. States.
And s0he,eos, An answer dated on the 9TH of
August, 1852, was addressed to Gen. Lee by
Gen. il. w. Hallecl., the said General-in-C Chief
of the armies of the United States, alleging
sufficient causes for failure to make early reply
to said letter of the 9th July, asserting that ''no
authentic information had been received in re-
lation to the execution of Mumford, but mea-
sures will be Immediately taken to ascertain the
facts of the alleged execution" and promising
that Gen. Lee should be duly informed thereof;
And ,chereas, On the 28th of November, 862,
another letter was addressed, under my instruc-
tions, by Rob't. Ould, Confederate agent for the
exchange OF prisoners, under the cartel between
the two Governments, to Lieut.. Col.NW. III
Ludlow agent of the u. States under said car
tel, informing him that the explanation prom
ised in the said letter of Gen. Halleck, of the
7th of August last, had not yet been received,
and that if 10 answer was sent to the Govern
ment within L days from the delivery of this
last communication, it would be considered that
an answer is declined;
