Of which $3.50, 900 were temporary loans at
five per cent, and 81 900, 600 for conversion

twelve millions. There are some dollars
left yet. 9e gt
| EDr Will the employment Of negroes in
fighting the rebels save our young men
from the army-from being drafted under
the Consumption act? If this be true--if
the negroes can fight and will fight-and
can be had in any numbers required, what
is the objection to their employment? Mr..
Copprrhead whatgood reason can you urge?
Would you rather go on send you son to be
food for gun-powder?" Then you ought
to go at once and save the country from
the disgrace of a negro soldiery. But you
have no thought of going. Not a bit of it.
But if negroes are not used, the President
will soon want 100000 more" and some
fine morning you will wake up and find
yourself grated into the army 'i.iand you
will have to go. Think of that! %
| a- Mr.. Noble, Of Ohio, says that
"any possible peace is better than this
war" We may presume that this man
Noble don't even profess to be Democrat,
but, like some other of the high priests OF
infamy, claims and rejoices in the name Of
lCopperhead. Well, let him. We have
nothing to say to the insane. But to those
whose sanity is not entirely obscured by
malice or passion, it is a sufficient reply
that no "peace" is possible while traitors
continue in revolt. Not even the Copper
heads have as yet indicated mode of Sc.
curing peace that is even plausible enough
to satisfy the most deluded of their follow
ers. The option of peace or war is not with
us. Absolute submission to the rebels of:
fers no surety for peace. The question is
not whether we can have peace by acced-
: ing to the demands of traitors, but whether
we win secure "peace'' by crushing those
who have made. the war. That only can
give us peace. To reach any other point
than that, is simply to make the war per
Ipetual. Those who want peace, therefore
!, must assist to prosecute the war. If they
don't do that, their profession of desire
for peace is but palpable lie. Disunion is
war, and war everywhere. The triumph OF
the Union arms only gives perpetual
quiet. There is the choice we have. There
is none besides.

| ~ The papers say that some one recent
ly stole JEFF. Davis horse. II it had only
been JEFF. himself that he had stolen, it
would have been better. But to steal Jeff7s
horse was decidedly wrong. That was a
violation of the old principle that there is
"honor among thieves" JEFF. being the
chief thief of the nation, he ought to be ex-
empt from such depredations by scound-
rels of ''less degree" ..e.llT

| CURIOUS CoNFEssIoN.-The Philadel-
phia Enquirer published the following
statement few days since, alleging it to be
upon trustworthy and reliable authority.
It will do to read and ponder in connec-
ton with the news we published yesterday
of the Rebel movement along or into the
Pennsylvania border:-
A man of respectable connection who re-
sided for some years near Dillsburg, Pa.
died a few days since at his home. A few
hours previous to his death, he called a few
