Abolition of Russian serfdom.

Serfdom In Russia, over which much
Christian philanthropy has been expended,
was humanizing institution compared with
slavery in America. The serf could not be
separated from the soil on which he was born
except by his own consent. He had legal
right to remain near the scenes of his child
hood and the graves of his fathers. If the
soil changed owners he changed with it, His
wife could not be torn from his embrace nor
his children scattered. Not so with slavery
in our land. That knows no law but the ca
price of the slave owner. He says TO the
slave husband,"go, and 60 he must He
says to the slave woman, "come," and no mat
ter how revolving to her heart she has no
power to assert natures rights or TO protect
herself Her husband may be driven from
her, her infant torn from her breast and She
and they be sent from all associations that
have become dear, to suffer and die upon dis.
tant cotton fields or in the rice swamps. But
the end of such outrages in this land oil
boosted liberty approaches. No power OIL
combination can avert the doom of human
slavery. Misnamed democracy, which has be-
come Its special guardian, cannot preserve it
A common grave awaits both guardian and
ward, and humanity stands ready to inscribc
the word "iafamy'' upon the headstone that
shall mark the spot where their name will
rot.
But we intended in commencing this brieI
article, only to introduce an interesting ex.
tract in relation to the workings OF emancipa.
ton In Russia. The Autocrat issued his
nlsase that this great reproach of his empire
should cease. The mobiles, many of them. re.
monstrated, and prophesed the utter ruin
and AFFECT misery of the serls when then
should cease to be their guardians and pro
tectors. But the Gar was determined ant
the fiat went forth. The following extract o
letter from gentleman travelling in Russii
shows how the thing works:
The emancipation of tue serfs is no Sham.

MIR. WooDAAy's LETTER. - On the first
page will be found letter written by our fell
low-citizen J. c. Woodman, Esq, to the
agents of the Sanitary Commission, covering
donation of three hundred dollars, which
will be read with much interest Mr.. Wood
man is thoroughly posted on all matters that
he allows himself to touch with his pen, and
when he speaks or writes he does not leave
his work half done. We invite careful read
ing of his letter. 1t is only justice to Mr.. w.
to say that he did not have an opportunity to
see the proof OF his article, and that he is not
responsible for few typographical errors that
appear in it. In the third paragraph from the
bottom, 4ih line, the word keep" was written
'help" in the copy.
We were promised the reply Of Messrs.
Stebbins and Davis in season to accompany
the letter of Mr.. Woodman, but not receiving

THE NEXT DRAFT.-The nine-months men
and other soldiers who were in the service on
the Sd of March last, are enrolled as part of
the national forces, but were exempted from
the operation of the first draft by General
Order from the War Department. There is
no such order for exemption from the draft
of Jan ). On the contrary, orders have been
given to include them in the draft then to be
made, they constituting the Sd class under
the law. Now is the opportunity for such men,
able-bodied and patriotic, to enlist, and fill up
the Veteran regiments, and at the same time
secure the muniiiceut bounties offered TO all
such 70 lunteers.

The copperheads and the Presidency.

The Copperhead leaders are in quite as en-
barrassing a situation in relation to a candi-
date for 1864, as were the democrats in 1860.
The truth is, they have no available man.
They have no one in whose success they can
repose aparticle of confidence. A few still
adhere to making spades trumps, and trotting
out Mcclellan. The Louisville Journal-an
inveterate copperhead paper under the pre-
tense of special loyalty; paper that supports
the movements OF the Government with a
protest; a protest that slavery shall be let
alone, that emancipation is a mschievous
humbug and that abolitionists should be ig-
nored-is gently striking the keynote for Nc
Clellan, always forgetting that its ievorte is a
dead cock in the pit" that he put the finish
ing touch to the ruin of his political fortunes
in his famous Pennsylvania letter, and that no
matter how long candles may be burned over
his remains by his watching and waiting
friends, no sign of life will ever be revealed.
The American masses have never yet deyel-
oped so blind an idolatry as that of worship
ping at dead mems shrines, and they will
scarcely begin in this live and stirring age.
They may worship the rising sun, but the
setting sun never
A Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune shows up the embarrassments
OF the copperhead sachems, their hopes of
making capital out of expected divisions in
the Union ranks, and the certainty of their
coming to grief, in the following extract:
learn that the contest in the copperhead
organization respecting the Presidency con-
tinues, and excites considerable feeling among
the leaders. The Mcclellan men are very ac-
tive, aud urge his claims principally ON ac-
count OF his supposed popularity with the
army. On the other hand, the anti Mcclellan
men say there is nothing in him~-that he puts
his foot In 1t every time, as In the case of the
Woodward letter, dc. They also say that il a
war man must run, it is better to take one in
whom the people have some faith, and who
has not a tainted political record to embarrass
him. Then there are the genuine copperheads,
who will not go war man anyhow. They re-
pudiate shoulder straps in toto, and will be
satisfied with no candidate except he be of
the Vallandigham school of politics. They
might 90 for Seymour at a pinch, but even he
has proved himself destitute of pluck. He is
considered to have let the golden opportunity
pass when he refused to take sides openly
against the war and the Government in his
inaugural message. And so matters remain
decidedly mixed among the wire pullers in the
copperhead party. They place great hopes.

ing the session of Congress, and are prepared
BY all means In their power, TO bring about
such result.

THE PRINTER.

B. r. Taylor, of the Chicago Journal,
writer whose every word is poetic thought,
thus speaks OF the Printer, truly and prettiiy,
In those pretty pictures OF. language what
word painter so artistic, so exquisite as he
Read it, think of it, and say, for you can't
help it, cit is So"
The Printer is the Adiutant of thought,
and this explains the msterles of the wonder
full words that can kindle house as no song
can--that warm heart as no hope crn-that
word " we J" with hand in-hand warmth in
it, for the Author and Printer are engineers
together. Engineers indeed When the lit
tie Corsican bombarded Cadz, the distance
of five miles, it was deemed the very triumph
of engineering But what Is that patry range
to this, whereby they lombard the ages get
to be-
There he stands at the case and marshas
into line the forces armed for truth, clothed
in Immortality and in English.-And what
can be more noble than the equipment of
thought in Sterling Saxon Saxon with the
ring of spear or shield therein, and that com
missioned it when We are dead. to move
gradually on to " the last syllable of recorded
time" This is to win a victory from death,
s for this has no dying in it.
= The Printer Is called laborer, and the
Office he performs is toll. Oh, it is not work,
but sublime rite he is performing when he
thus "sights T" the engine that is to fling
worded truth in grandeur curve than missiles
e,er before descrlbed-fings it into the bosom
of an age yet unborn. He throws off his coat
indeed /; but we wonder the rather that he
does not put his shoes from off his feet, for
the place he stands is holy ground
I" A little song was uttered somewhere
long ago it wandered to the twilight feebler
than star; 1T died upon the ear but the
Printer takes 1t up where it was lying there
in the silence like wounded bird, and h
sends it forth from the Ark that had preserv-
ed it, and it fies into the future with the ole
i've branch of peace, and around the world
with melody, like ihe dawniDg of a spring
morning" ..... .......
