More dear 10 them than lie.
In sight cf men they seem 70 die,

But Thou dost give them, even here,
A new, immortal birth.

OUTRaGE UPoN DEMocRATIc WoMEs We
find the following extraordinary statement
in the New Libson >Ohio) Patriot Of the 9Th
inst
"We are informed that on Tuesday even
ing, in Liverpool, about thirty women and
FIVE men dessed in women's clothes started
out with tar and feathers after The Demo-
cratic women in ;hat town. They first
went into the house of Mrs Morris, widow
woman, and boy called her to the door
He then took hold OF her and tore off all her
clothes except her chemise. The crowd of
fiends then came up, and dressed her in
coat OF TAR and feathers. They next went
TO the house OF Mrs. Lee, whose husband
died in the army three months ago She
fought like iigress, bnithe fowl she-fends
succeeded in treating her in the same way.
Five other Democratic women were tarred
and feathered."
We have no comments on this unhuman
barbarity. II the parties can be found out

A Huther's Grave.

Earth has some sacred spots where We
FEEL like ioosing ,he the shoes from orr feet,
and treading with holy reverence where
common words OF pleasure are unfitting
plnces where friendship's hand fingered in
each other, where where vows have been
pjigh,et prayers offered and tears OF parnng
shed.-Oh. how the thoughts hover around
such places, and travel hack through i'm
measurable space to visit them. But of
all The spots on the green earth, none is so
sacred as that where rests, waiting the
resurrection, those who onced loved and
cherished. Hence in all ages, the better
portion of mankind have chosen the loved
spots they have ioved TO wander al even
tide and weep alone. Bot among the char
nel houses OF The dead if there is one spot
more scared than the rest, it is a mothers
grave. there sleeps tie mother of our infan-
cy-she whose heart was stranger to eve-
~ other feeling. But love, aad who could
always find excuses for us when we could
none for ourselves. There she sleeps and
we love the very earth Tor her sake.

tack, or local treason, instruction or COM
motion, the civil courts cannot properly
discharge their functions, there and then
only let the martial law take its place.
Viewing the matter as we now do, we
hope the President will lei vallingham
loose. And nothing, we are confident,
would more surely blast the hopes of these
those seekers after political capital than his
release, = But the people knowing the
slow, sure and careful disposition of the
president, and recognizing his ability and
superior means, with the full knowledge
of the matter and the aid of his advisers,
to come to a right decision in tho matter,
will sustain it when announced. And in
any event, the faotious cries of political
demagogues about such man as Abraham
Lincoln wearing the livery and girding
on the sword of Despot, and trampling
out the free institutions Of the North will
excite only ridicule.

is sent the pattern Of f" Ration bag"
with the following remarks as to us use
fitness "The idea is to furnish each SOL
der with two Tone for sugar and one for
coffee, J to be put inside the haversack, so
as to keep the two articles from beng
spoiled, either by being wet from ram, or
in crossing streams, or by coming IN con-
tact with the greasy pork and bacon
As all have to 60 into the same bag,
the effect is not improving to either article,
| speak from experience when | say that
no little gift would add more to the com
fort, cleanliness internal and health Of
the soldier, than just such bags as these,
Much Of the ration is now lost by clinglng
to the sides and corners OF the haversacks,
These bags would save all that"
II is difficult for us 70 understand the
needs of the soldiers only those who have
had experience can rightly show us, why
this thing that we at home think they must
have is burden, and why that thing
which we had neglected would be com
fort.
We shall be glad to furnish the pattern
to any who wish it. As 1t is small, and
simple in its make, il seems especially
adapted to the hands of children, In a
late report of the Cleveland Branch we
have an account of club of young girls
called the Alert Club whose object is
to collect funds for the Working Society.
They have constit ton and elected Off
GERS, and by means of monthly and quar-
terly subscriptions have raised $500 in
seven months in a village Of two hundred
inhabitants.
From what space of country, what a
variety of people, does the Commission
draw its precious stores 1t is difficult to
connect grey flannel and blue yarn with
the thought of great historical movement ;
yet our work is really in such connection,
and each stocking Or shirt We make s. for
the soldiers is portion of a story that has
never had its counterpart.
Respectfully submitted by tue Execu-
tive Committee.

Says McMasters: " Freemen, how are
you to save your liberties? BY fighting.
Yes, if necessary, by fighting" Says
McCunn: " In ghteen months this coun-
try will be too hot for the men who are
now bounding and hunting out those who
advocate the liberty of fee speech and a
free Press" Says Mullaly "The men
in Washington are like the British tyrsnts
in the time of the Revolution. Says
Rynders: "War is waged here by militia
ry despots upon the rights and privileges
of American people, worse than the war
that is now waging in the South. 1t is
for us to fight for our liberties here. Says
Tharin: Step by step had Abe Lincoln
departed from his promises, until by gra-
dations of infamy he sat on klngly
throne, and aspired to regal CROWN
Says Birdsall "Were Vallandigham ar
rested here the whole population would
rise en- mosSe to rescue him." Says Ma
son: "Every one of the acts of the Ad-
ministration indicate the purpose OF the
Administration to terminate our llber,

- The people of Southern Alaba-

rolls towards them, as it is now rolling
from the northern border. Gen. Buckner,
commanding the Mobile district, has issued
an order, in the course Of which he says:
off any citizen or resident of Mobile
thinks that the time has not come for him
to make preparations to defend his home
let him make arrangements at once for
leaving the city when danger arrives. No
man who is able to bear arms, will then
be permitted to remain, unless he belongs

Wayne and Clinton Counties is increasing
numbering already 1900 men, with
fourteen pieces of artillery. A letter from
Richmond states that they have already

however, will no doubt be able to attend
to it in satisfactory manner.

The VICE PRESIDENT OF THE REB-
Ell CoNFEDERACY HOPELESS OF Sue
CEss.-I'he London Star, received by the
latest arrival, publishes a statement from
its New York correspondent, headed in
large type, as follows 4" Highly impor
tant intelligence from the South Vice
President Stephens Regards the Rebel
Cause as Hopeless A Party Favorable
to Reconstruction in Georgia" These
statements, the Star pendent asserts,
were received from gentleman holding
a. prominent position in Georgia. This
gentleman declares that the North can
have no idea of the deep gloom and dis
couragement which envelopes the people
of the Southern States. The victories
which the Confederate forces achieved for
a time caused rejoicing and positive
exhilratlon but, as the months passed
by, and the utter impossiDility of driving
back the Federal forces, Or of compelling
them to relax their hold upon the fertile
districts which they have succeeded IN oc-
cupying, became apparent, the people be-
gan to realize the magnitude Of the task
which they had undertaken and now,
he says, despair seems to have seized up
on them, and they await the development
of the future with gloomy apprehension
instead of hopefulness
Vice President Stephens had a serious
disagreement with President Davis severaI
months ago, and since it occurred they
have not been on speaking terms. Mr.
Stephens has since expressed hisconvictior
! that the Confederate experiment Is fail
ure, and that all hopes of Its ultimate sue
cess have long since vanished. It is als'
asserted that many influential men il
Georgia are in favor of a reconstruction
/ of the Union.

Leaving on hand April II, Sl,Os4 81
Hearing the statement had been made
that government had on hand seventy-hve
thousand suits of hospital clothing, and
therefore the stores of the Sanitary Com
mission were useless, an unnecessary and
hurtful drain upon the energies OF the PEG
pie, we wrote TO Washington letter of in
ouirv, to which this is the answer; " The
fact, If it be one, which is very likely, that
the Surgeon General has on hand seventy
five thousand suits Of hospital clothing Is
of no practical use to- us. Not one ofthose
suits is meant for field hospitals, of which
there may, perhaps, be some SIX or seven
hundred in the country. They are design
ed only for distribution in the General
Hospitals, of which there may be some one
hundred and fifty. 1t is long time since
| the Commission has distributed clothing to
the General Hospital, which, thanks chief
| " to the Medical Department of Govern
IIment since It's reorganization are now as
an ordinary thing, well supplied and con
Quoted Such articles as are not furnished
by Government, and dehcacies of all
kinds, we continue to furnish freely to the
lGeneral Hospitals, but the great bulk Of
our stores is required for those in the field
After the next great battle in which the
Army of the Potomac will be engaged, oul
small accumulation of clothing will melt
away in a single day."

The New YORK CCPpEgHaAp MEET
ING.-The Vsllindigham sympathy meet
ing, called by Wood and other copper
heads, to be held on Union Square, New
York, Monday evening, was almost a
''tizze." The Times says that at no time
over three thousand persons were present,
and they seemed TO be peripatetic curiosi-
ty-seekers rather than interested in the
objects of the meeting moving from
stand to stand, seeing what was to be
seen. There was four stands erected, but
only TWO We're attended by anything like
collection Of people that could be deem
ed far meeting in point OF numbers
Most Of the Democratic magnates, appa-
rentlv ashamed of the work they had set
out for themselves, kept away from the
meeting. Ex-Mayor Wood, Judge Par
ker, Senator Wall, Buffalo Murphy and
Ottoman, who were advertised TO ad-
dress the crowd, sent IN their excuses and
did not come to time. Even copperhead
Brooks neglected to show his shiny head
The conduct of the meeting was left TO
smaller lights, such as Norton. McMas-
tiers, McCunn and company. The speech
rs and resolutions We're as reasonable as
they could we'll be, and even threats were
thrown cut that Vallandigham would be
rescued, if carried through New York.
The World, 10 order to keep up with It's
rival, Ben. Woods News, makes great
show shout the affair, and talks about
TWENTY-FIVE thousand people, being pres
ent. The character of the meeting is
correctly described by the New York
Herald: A meeting large in point Of
numbers, but of no Importance so far as
the character and standing of the speak
ers was concerned, was held last even
ing IN Union Square in reference to the
arrest of Vallandigham. The speeches
were of the most violent character, anC
the whole affair would have been much
more appropriate to the locality of Rich
mond than to that of New York.
