THE NEGRO REGIMENTS. %
The all.absorbIpg topic In camp is the organ
ization of the negro regiments. Gen. Thomas,
before leaving Lake Providence for Young's
Point, issued an order, giving Gen. MCPHERSON
authority 10 commission officers for three regi'
ments from the 17th Army Corps. The 9th, 9th
and 10Th regiments will be oficered from Mo

a Perfect Babylon of Cor.
ruptiOn.

A correspondent Of the London Times, wri.
ting home from Washington, says of the men
there:
Raw lads Of eighteen and twenty form the
bulk of the army that defends Washington
against the imminent aggression of General
Lee. These youths revel and riot in their pre-.
matuve manhood, and exhibit their exuberant
strength in drunken aud other orgies that seem
to have no other limits but their purses. TO
inveigle the "greenbacks" out Of their pockets
ard those Of their officers, whole army of
brazen courtezlns and "painted Jezebels" had
Invaded the city, who ply their trade by in.ert-
ing advertisements in the newspapers aud by
public exhibitions in the streets, after fashion
so gross that 1t would shame even the Haymar-
ket. The places where they have congregated
have received the name new to American
slang and peculiar to Washington, of ranches" !"
O word that In Texas signifies an enclosure for
cattle. The "ranches'' of Madame this or
that are as openly conducted as the hotels or
boarding houses The Provost Marshal and
bis officials make little or no effort to interfere
with them. Another class of thieves, not
so designated in polite society, but
worthy OF the name - the people who
sell the Government rotten and un-
seaworthy steamboats, for the conveyance Of
troops and stores, shoes for the army that wear
out in one days march, and ahoddy garments,
neither and upper, that rot like blotting paper
in shower Of rain; the "respec.able" people,
who plumber under form Of law and with the
decent observances of trade, feed daily at Will
liard's and other public places, and make
themselves conspicuous by the magnums Of
claret and champagne which they consume, and
by the general loudness of their talk and be-
havior. Then there are the "wire pullers" and
"lollers," that is to say, men who have schemes
before Congress, and "engineer" their bills
through both Houses by the vulgsrest agencies

more satisfactory to such members of the Leg

But the roguery and rsscality of Washington
are equaled by It's misery. There are estimated
to be no less than forty thousand sick, wounded

Political Prescription by Gov. Tod.


We understand that Governor ToD refuses Ia
commission Democrats as Notaries Public
Such partisan prescription has never been
heard Of before In this country, nor anywhere
else since Triumvirate rule in ancient Rome.
An applicant is now, it seems, required to sat-
isfy the Abolition Private Secretary of the
Governor, that he (the applicant) Is a so-ca,led
"Union" man. If heiail to do this, he receives
no commission No predecessor Of ToD's
whether Democrat, Wing, or Republican, hat
ever inquired as to the politics Of an applicant
for the Notarial Office. To inaugurate partisan
prescription reaching SO low, was reserved for
the present Governor Of Ohio, who thinks II
will aid him to secure re nomination

following attack upon highly respected and

From this the inference 10 clear that Arch
bishop Hughes has no desire at ell to hide the

VANDEMARK'S
sELF-FAsTENING, OR HOOK AND EYE
PORTABLE FENCE.

The subscriber, who owns the right to make
this fence, in this county, is now canvassng
portion of it, and is offering farm rights to such
as may be disposed to try it.
Patented June 2, 1857, and re-issued July 10,
1860 and Patent of July 81, 1858, by Charles
Vandemark, Oaks Corners, Ontario County,
NY.
The observing farmer will readily perceive the
numerous advantages of a portable fence which
can be easily put up, taken down, and removed
from place to place, as convenience may require
at very little cost of time and labor.
The cost of the fence is only about one-half
that of an ordidary board fence with posts, and
is more durable, there being no posts to rot off
list, 1t can be made in bad weather, or in the
winter, when farm hands are commonly idle.
I'd, The fence being all above ground, will last
without repair twice Us long as post and board
fence.
Sd, 1t being portable, can be changed and
moved without injury, and in short time.
4th, 1t is all made Of inch boards, and so sim
pie in its construction that any farmer can make
it, and all the tools necessary is handsaw and
hammer, avoiding the necessity of a carpenter,
as in most cases necessary.
9TH When straight, it is supported by trian-
gular brace put in between the end battens, or
uprights, as shown in the above cut, and made of
the same material as the fence. The panels of
this patent are so constructed that they will con.
form to the surface of uneven ground
When we consider the immense outlay through.
out the country for fence, and the large amount
of land wasted by the common kinds. it seems
high time that farmers should begin to look into
! this matter
In this age of quackery and humbuggery, some
thing that is universally beneficial to all owning
land, should be appreciated, as it is by all who
have used it.
The products of our fields might be largely in
creased if we would adopt the English system o.
making small fields. And no farmer who keeps
sheep can afford to do without this fence, as it il
so convenient to separate the focks and yards
and by using this, almost every farmer can save
enough by getting his fall ieed' in season to b,
valuable, andsthe price is as nothing compared
with its numerous advantages.

right for himself, and is ready to testify to it

Why THE GROVER & BAKER MACHINE
IS BEST:
/. 1t is more simple, durable, and less liable
to arrangement than others.
2. 1t sews from ordinary spools, and no re-
winding of thread is necessary.
3. 1t sews with equal facility all fabrics, the
most delicate and the heaviest, and with all kinds
of thread, silk, cotton or linen.
4. Its seam is so strong and elastic that it
never breaks, even on the bias.
5. 1t fastens both ends of the seam by its own
operation.
6. Its seam, though cut at every sixth stitch,
remains firm, and neither runs or raves in wear.
7. Its seam is more plump and beautiful, and
retains its plumpness and beauty after washing
better than any other.
8. It's seam can be removed in altering gar
ments, AFTER PROPER INSTRUCTION, without
picking or cutting them.
8. Watching and varying the tensions upon
the threads necessary in other machines, is un-
necessary in this. The tension being once adj
iusted on the Grover d Baker Machine, any
amount of sewing may be done without change.
10. 1t makes beautiful embroidery without
any change of arrangement simply by inserting
threads of suitable sizes and colors for this pur
pose. 1t is the ONLY machine that both embro
ders and sews perfectly.
