For THE BENFIT OF Mr.. LINcoL

For THE BENFIT OF MR.. LINCOLN
The New York Times begins to ieel that
such preposterons reasoning as Mr.. lin
coins, in his reply to the Albany Democ'
racy, necessarily fails to answer the in
tended purpose, Classification for arbitra-
ry arrest; and the editor declares that
"for military officer to march company
of soldiers into mans house or Office,
and to suppress him or his business, be-
cause he deems him. guilty of a violation
of law, is simply piece ofmadness. Such
a performance would create a riot in Rus
sia or France, as we'll as in Illinois or

Fighting Democrats.

The editor of the Uniontown Ge7,iUS o.
Liberty, in an able article in reply to the
slanders of the Abolition organ, of that
place, upon the Democrats or cooper
heads" as it styles them, makes the fol-
lowing telling remarks:
elf he intends to insinuate that it was
any class Of people whose opinions he rep.
resents that took Vickburg, then it is a
slander upon that noble Democratic COM
mander, Gen. Grant, and his brave army
who are fighting TO restore the Union as it
was and preserve the Constitution as it is
which the Standard opposes. If he
would falsely assert that his partisans
drove the rebels from Pennsylvania, we
ask him what evidence he has for the as
sertion, or who it was that went to do it.
We know that the "copperheads" from
New York and New Jersey came to our
rescue by hundreds and thousands we
know that "arched traitor Frank Hugnes,"
raised a regiment oil coPperheads IN
Schuylkill county and led them against
the enemy. We know that Col. @. j.
Biddle, Of Philadelphia, Chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee, rails

that Col. Alfred Days Coal regiment OF

went into the fight with 446 men and 10
officers and came out with l0l men and 7

Dearest love, do you remember
When we last did meet,
How you told me that you loved me,
Kneeling at my feet1
o how proud you stood before me.
In your suit Of blue,
When you vowed TO me aud country
Ever to be true.
CHoRUs-Weeping, sad and lonely,
Hopes ana fears, how vain,
Yet praying when this cruel war is ovor
Pray ng that we meet again.
When the summer breeze is signing
Mournfully along
Or when autumn leaves are falling,
Sadly breaths the song
Oft IN dreams I see thee lying
On the battle plain,
Lonely, wounded, even dying,
Calling but in vain.
II amid the din of battle
Nobly you should fall.
Far away from those who love you.
None to hear you call.
Who would wispcr words Of comfort,
Who would sooth your paint
All the many cruel fances
Ever in my brain.
But our count ry called you darling.
Angels cheer your way.
While our nations sons are ighting
We can only pray.
Nobly strike for God and Union,
Let all nations see
How we love our starry banner,
Emblem of the free.

THE OLDEST CoNTINENT.-Prcnticc, of
of the Louisville Journal, is occupying
himself and instructing his readers, by
writing series of geological articles. -
We extract the following paragraph from
his last essay. Commenting Sir Charles
Lyells new work he says:
The intelligent reader may learn that
the North American Continent was the
first dry land that rose above the waters.
There are on this continent many regions
that were geologically very ancient, at
the very time numerous places in Europe
that are hoary with historic age were not
yet born from the womb of waters.-
When Europe and Asia were not con,i-
nents, but represented only by few
islands, consisting Of what are now their
mountain peaks, scatterd over a vast ex-
panse of ocean when Mt Etna was yet
uniformed, and the Island of Sicily was
still buried beneath the Mediterranean ;
when the atlantic seabord back to the
Appalachian Mountains, and the Valley
of the Mississippi up us far as VickSburg
were yet beneath the ocean, there were
roaming among the Manvais Terrcs Of
Upper Missouri, in the midst of profnse
vegetation, some of the strangest animals
that have ever gladdened the mind of a
naturalist. They became extinct before
the era of the mastodon and elephant, and
they differ not only from all living species
but from all fossilt ATTAINED from contcm-
poraneous geological formations elsewhere

Living i'm the Dismal swamp.

The progress of the war has developed
the ability of our soldiers to surmount al.
most any physical obstacle, and to live in
places hitherto regarded as uninhabitable.
Now we learn that not only is the Great
Dismal Swamp habitablo but even salubri-
Gus, according to the war correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Press, who says:
the name of the Great Dismal Swamp
starts feeling Of ill-defncd dread and
horror in the breasts of those who have
become acquainted with its soft and Shiny
labyrinths only through the medium of
romance. 1t is impossible to conceive of
any one but black, herculcan, enthusias-
tic Dred who could exist amid the noxious
miasmas Of the Great Dismal Swamp
They believe man who attempts to live
beneath the shade ofupas-like trees is sure
as destiny of certain death. Yet this great
Dismal Swamp is actually, is occupied by
our soldiers, and is pronounced salubrious
by our surgeons. The l77th Pennsylva-
MIA regiment went there with almost two
hundred on the sick list, and now they
scarcely two dozen. This is miraculous,
when we consider how they have to con-
tend against frogs, snakes, lizards and
wood-ticks. The Salt Sulphur Springs of
magnolia were favorite resort of the
creme de la c'ene of Virginia and North
Carolina; yet this beautiful watering place
is almost upon the margin Of what 1 would
call the northwest lobe of the swamp, on
the road leading from Suffolk to Ports.
mouth. Juniper water alone can be found
in the depth of this waste. 1t is of light
claret color, and very wholesome.

The Murder of The Black Race.

mits that the ultimate object Of the radi-
Gals is the destruction of the colored race
on this continent. 1t says;
GAS the Indians were crowded westward
and out of our bounds by the irresistible
andvance of the white man SO will the
blacks be whenever that powerful protec-
tive system with which the Shareholders
have guarded them is removed. 1t is the
destiny of the free white workingmen of
this country to possess it: the efforts of
the Shareholders have hitherto robbed
them of one half of 1.-THE richest, iairest
half-and devoted it TO blacks. Ii is the
Shareholders who have preserved the ne.
gro race from decline among US; it is the
Shareholders who have increased the blacks
from seven hundred thousand in 1890 to
four millions in 1860.
So then it is admitted that those terrible
fellows, the Shareholders, whose chains,
whips, and oloodhounds we have heard so
much about in anti-slavery novels and
poems, are after all the real conservators
of the negro race, while the aboltionsts,
with all their professions of philanthropy,
contemplate their destruction. The Pos:
is right. The freeing of the negroes
means their extinction as race in North
America the history Of the present war
proves that beyond all peradventure.--
From Arkansas around TO Port Royal the
same complaint reaches US, thatthe negroes
within our army lines are in rags and star
wing, and that the soldiers abuse and hate
them. A card in the New York Tribune,
from the agents Of some negro missionary
society, begging for money and clothes,
says:
There are about thousand in Hampton
quartcrcd in tents, and still larger num-
Der at Norfolk $50 at Norfolk, and 500
quartered in large storehouse and in bar
racks. Could the benevolent look upon
these pitiable objects of charity, tattered
and shoeless. destitute of decent clothing
and compelled to sleep on hard boards
bricks or ground, without a pallet, or
scarcely rag under them, their heart
would bleed, "and eyes unused to weep
o'erfow with tears"
1t is not improbable that there are 60,
600 freed negro families within our lines
in this condition, and, under the operation
Of the Emancipation Proclamation as oui
army advances this number will double
and treble. These poor people are des'
tined for misery and ultimate destruction

What strange verdict will history pas
upon the abolition party. 1t was original
ly organized to champion the woes Of tn,
black race it made the world ring will
the alleged cruelties Of the Shareholders
yet this same party, in less than two year.
after it assumed power, inflicted more rea

than that, one Of its principal organs nov

sway of Shareholders, but are destined t.
