You have been trying to vindicatc the Draft

know that when one hundred men are drawn,
if fifty of them can pay their $500 they are
released, and then their places must he filled
by another draft from among the poor. If this
is not releasing the rich and placing the bur
dens of the war, exclusively, on the poor, |

Brethren of our Order in the Southern States.
upon the propriety of calling a Con vention for
the purpose of organizing a National Division

After mature consideration, the Committee
fully agree that under all the circum stances, such
an effort would prove ~abortive, it being impessi-
bic, under existing circumstances, to have a rep
rcsentatlon TO such Convention from even a ma
jority of the States.
We respectfully solicit the views and opinions
of Brethren from all the States upon this subject.

The High Prices.

1t is not difficult to account for the
high prices which some people are able
to pay for what they buy. Let US take
a man who runs a Still to make whiskey
He buys ten bushels of corn, for which
he pays, say the high price Of eight dol
lars a bushel. He has it ground and
carried to his Still, where it goes through
the process necessary to make it into
w~hiskey.- It turns out three gallons of
the villainous stuff, from each bushel of
corn. which by a little adulteratior is
multiplied into six gallons. This he
readily sells at $40 a gallon, making
$1,000 aut of ten bushels of corn that
enough not to adultarate il, and he makes
5000 out of ten bushels Of corn that cost
:him but 1901 He can very we'll afford to
give $500 for common COW, for she re
ally costs him but $40, the price he paid
for half the corn out of which he realized,
5000 or $1,000.
Those who speculate in Tobacco, and
other things that it is claimed there is
. no harm in specializing in, because they
are not the accessories of life," can afford
to give tall prices also, but people who
are not specializing, but who are trying
to live, as they did before the war, on a
regular profession, or by their labor, can't
afford to pay such prices, and have to
suffer because there arc those who can
and do pay them hence all must pay
the %oxorbitant prices or go without.
The man that buys tobacco at 30 or Is
cents per pound and sells it at So and So
per pound; or buys cotton yarn at So
and $40 and sells it at $25 to $50, and
traders and manufacturers of all kinds
who realize such enormous profits, can
afford to give extravagant prices for what
they purchase. The high prices do not
affect them, for they pay the large price
out of still larger profits that they have
made. A pair of shoes at $40 costs then
in reality no more than they did wher
they could be had for So.
So we think it very clear, that tn
Spectator, we care not in what commod
ity, is to blame for thehigh prices of eve
ry thing and if women s~tarve, and chill
dren cry for bread, every Spectator cal
lay his hand upon his heart, and say
II DIE IT! I am the cause Of these bigl
prices! For if had not given these ex
tortiohate prices, others who can, woul
would not have been forced to do it an
those who cannot would not be s%uferinI
with the cravings of hunger, or shiver
ing with the pinchings of cold. What
congratulation for . Christian to max

The NORTHERN ELEcTIoNs.-Curtin, the
Abolition Governor of Pennsylvania, has
been reelected by over fifty thousand
majority, and Brough, the Lincoln can
didate, has beaten Valandigham in Ohio
by from $4,000 to 100, 900 majority !
The elections in other States, North and
Northwest, have all gone the same way.
We hope, after this demonstration, we
! shall hear no more talk Of a "Peace par.
ty at the South to cooperate with our
friends, the peace party at the north"
There is no peace party" there ; but all
cry out for more Southern blood, and
farther outrages upon the South. Tbs
mar IN the South who is in favor of peace
propositions to the North, after these de-
velopments, must be very green indeed,
or worse.

Ingratitude and I~nhumanity.

While so many portions of our goodly
Southern llnd are overrun by vandai
foes-while so many of our friends ana
fe.low-citizens are feeling the scourge
sent upon our n2tion-many driven from
their homes, AMI others having to bear
insult, poverty, and the oft repeated acts
of cruelty and Oppression by a brutal
enemy-this and many other portions OF
our State, have been spared by Gods
kind providence from the outrages and
sufferings that they have had to endure.
One would think that this would beget IN
those communities thus mercifully pre-
served, a spirit of devout ~thankiulness
and prayer to Almighty God, and inspire
feelings of sympathy and aid for those
who have been driven out upon the world
homeless, many of them penniless, and
all under circumstances calculated to ex-
cite orr l~ivelieSt commisseration.
But have such effects been produced in
us? Do we appreciate the high blessings
we enjoy, and are we thankful to God
that His mercy hath kept US? Do we
feel for the woes of others, our Southern
kinsmen, and seek to alleviate their suf-
ferings? We think not. How few of
US are found at the prayer-neetinss to
return thanks TO God and to beseech
Him for a perpetuation of His preserving
power over as! But instead, many are
engaged in dancing, mirth and ~follies, at
all times sinful and'wrong, and especially
so in these times of gloom and sorrow
and bloodshed. We rush ~headlong into
the race for money-extorting from the
poor refugees the few dollars they have
succeeded in bringing from the homes
from which they have been driven, by
exacting the most %exorbitant prices fol
what they are compelled to have, and by
giving them "thc cold shoulder" anG
avoiding them as if they were escaped
~c2nvicts from the penitentiary. So truly
is the force Of the Poets couplet exem-
plified-
MANS inhumanity to man,
Makes countless thousands mourn"
Can We expect to be blessed continual
ly, without even being thankful for wha
has already been bestowed? en- we ex
pect to be continually protected from
those sufferings which SO many of on
unhappy countryinen and countrywome
have been called upon to pass through,
we contin,,e -nnr inh -.raeticaG4e
wards them We think not. "Go
moves in a mysterious way" and if W
continue to manifest our want of thank
fulness to Him for these high favors, an
prey like vultures upon the necessitie
of the wanderers from home, He may a
low our homes to be ~despoiled and 10
too, be driven exiles, in suffering an
want, from the comforts and joys He no
permits US to enjoy. Let US rem emb,
these things, give God our hearts an
service, and hestow of what He has bles
led us upon the needy and destitur
around Us.
