Abolition ,Blasphemy.

The leading spirits in President Lin
coins unconstitutional crusade against sla-
very arc the radical infdels of the age,
blaspheming wretches who neither love,
fear, nor respect the Majesty of Heaven,
and seize upon all occasions to dishonor
the name OF Jehovah, aud shock the mor-
al feelings of mankind by the most pro-
fape and impious expressions. Of this
school of devils incarnate Henry Ward
Beecher occupies prominent position, u
sing the pulpit and the press to propagate
his peruicious and revolving ideas. He is
no more, in reality, than Greeley, Phillips,
Pillsbury, Lovejoy, Sumner, Wade and
others, but he is more ambitious of noto-
riety, and hence more frequently obtrudes
his demoralizing doctrines upon the pub
lie. \ late number Of his paper, the
New York Independent, contains the fol-
lowing offensive and shocking article:
"THE ONLY SALVATION FOR THE RE-
PUBLIC IN GoD AND THE NEGRo.-Tho

yation of the Republics measured by two
steps: one is, emancipation; the other,
military success. The first is taken; the

What could be more horrible than this?
Is it rot, clear. palpable, beyond question
or doubt, that Abolitionism is inidelity
run mad, and to it we owe the tremendous
evils which afflict and are destroying this
nation! 0, that the people would open
their eyes in time, and crush this curse
which will otherwise certainly crush them!

The Great Advance in Cotton.

This article has reached price in the
New York market which it never bore be-
fore since it has been as staple. The
Herald of Saturday says:
Day before yesterday it suddenly jump
ed to eighty-nine cents in the forenoon,
and in the afternoon sales we're reported
at the extraordinary price of ninety-six
cents per pound. A party who purchas-
ed ip the forenoon, resold in the after
noon at IA profit of forty dollars per
bale. At ninety six cents per pound a
bale of cotton is worth S432. Before the
war it sold at ten to twelve cents per
pound or at $40 to S54 per bale. From
present appearances it is possible that it
may touch 81 per pound, or $3.50 per
bale. The present price is higher shan it
was before the invention of the cotton gin,
and when thonegroes of the South picked
it with their fingers. Bryant Edwards, in
his history Of the West Indes, quoted cot
ton from the Bahamas and other West
India Islands, in 1884, at two shIlings
and six pence sterling per pound-sAy
about sixty-two and Il half cents-which
was picked or cleaned with the fingers.

Paying Dear for the Negro.

Congress talk ofappropriating SIC, ,O00,-
600 to free the slaves Of Maryland, and
from 25,000,000 to $50,000,000 more
to accomplish the same purpose in
Missouri. This vast sum Of money
will have to come out of the pockets of
the achite citizens of the North And
this is only the beginning of the end, but
it goes to show with what recklessness the
dominant party in the present Congress
squander the peoples money to carry out
their diabolical schemes OF disunion.-
Formerly, when State wished to set
their slaves free, they did it without be-
ing reimbursed from the public treasury.
This it the way slavery was abolished in
Pennsylvania, n. York, N. Jersey and all
the rest Of the now free States which were
hen in existence But VIC have fallen upon
evil times. The fanaticism of New Eng
land rules the hour at Washington, and
we suppose the country must continue to
suffer as long as it influences the legisla-
tion of Congress. God speed the the day
when the Congress of the United States will
again be composed Of men who will faith.
fully reflect the will of the American peo-
pie, and bring the Government back to
what it was in the palmy days of the Re-
public. We want it administered for the
benefit of achitc men-and not exclusively

time.

Illinois and the War,

A bill has been introduced in the Legis-

WHY THE SOLDIERS HAVE NOT BEEN
PAID.-Secretary Chase has informed the
House, in answer to resolution of inqui-
ry, that the soldiers have not been paid
because he is not authorized to raise the
proposed loan by practicable means under
existing laws; and that the $40 bonds
have not been sold, because they could not
be sold under the restrictions imposed by
Congress. The arrears of army pay now
amounts to treble the sum he can raise
under existing laws. He gives the
Government receipts from all sources in
cluding customs, since the lst of July, as
1926, 100000, while to the different
departments Of the army alone in that time
has been paid the sum!of S243, ,761, ,771:99.

WAR NEWS.

Richmond papers of Saturday last publish q
despatch from Charleston, dated Friday, the
29th ult stating that the Federal gunboat J.
P. Smith and two hundred and thirty men sur
rendered Internationally to the Confederates on
that day, after sharp engagement in Stono
river. Another gunboat escaped in crippled
condition The Federal loss is reported as heavy,
while only one man was wounded on the Con-
federate side
An arrival at New York brings advices from
New Orleans to the 25th ultimo. The concen-
tralion of the army at Baton Rouge, preparatory
to an attack on Port Hudson, was still going on.
It is believed that the gunboats cannot assist in
the assault on the Confederate works at that
point, but the mortar fleet will operate much
more advantageously. The Confederates have
strengthened their works.
A despatch from Nashville states that the
Confederate General Forrest, at the head of one
thousand cavalry, was awaiting the passage Of
the Federal transports at Harpsth Shoals. They
are making great efforts to capture the boats on
the Cumberland.
A despatch from Stafford Court House, Va,
says that the Confederate cavalry cross the Rap
pahannock and show themselves at Brentsville,
while others occasionally make demonstrations
in the neghborhood of Dumries and Occoquan.
1t is reported that Gen. Burnside has been Of

Advices from the North Carolina coast state
that the great naval expedition was ready to sail
last Friday, and were only awaiting the abate-
ment of the storm. Its destination is of course
conjecture but it isbelieved that either Charles
ton or Savannah will be the point of attack.
On Monday of last week sixty steam trans
ports, having on board as many thousand troops,
were lying in the harbor of Beaufort, together
with hundred and fifty sailing vessels, laden
with artillery and munitions of war. This con-
stitutes the largest naval expedition of the war.
A Memphis paper states that the ConfederateS
were advancing on the Federal lines in Northern
Tennessee, their object evidently being to get
possession of the Tennessee and Cumberland riv-
ers. A skirmish occurred near Memphis, on
Tuesday.last, in which the Federal force lost
seven in killed. wounded and prisoners.
Advices from Murfreesboro' to the 27th ult,
note the engagement on the McMfnnyille rail-
road, some account of which had been received
through Confederate sources. Itwas an attempt
to surprise large force of Confederates, but they
got warning, and fell back. There was some
fighting, in which the Federal loss was two kill
and nine wounded. The Confederates, it is said,
lost their Colonel and thirty-iour Others killed,
and one hundred prisoners.

THE object Of this Bill is to procure
Decree for the sale of certain Real
Estate situate in Hartford county, Mary

Joshua B. Morris, late of said county, de-
ceased.
The Bill states that said Joshua B. Nor
ris was in his lifetime indebted to Nicho-
las nj. Bond, the complainant, and divers
other persons, in large sums OF money
that the personal estate Of said deceased
was Of little value, and tile real estate of
considerable value: tina, said deceased in
his life-tlme' mortgaged his rea' estate to
certain Jane Waters, to secure the pay
meht of the sum of three hundred dollars,
interest and taxes thereon.
That on or about the day of jan
uary, 1868, the said Joshua 3. Morris de-
parted this life intestate, leaving sister,
Susan E. Morrison, wife of Mansel E.
Morrison, and brother, William w. Nor
ris, WHO is nonresident of the State of
Maryland, and whose residence is un-
known, his only heirs-at-law.
That administration of the personal es-
tate was granted by the Orphans Court
for Hartford county unto Mansel E. NJ Morri-
son, and it is wholly insufficient for the
payment of the debts due and owing by
said deceased; that the Administrator
aforesaid has refused to pay any part Of
the aforesaid claims, by reason of the in
sufliclency of the personal estate, and the
complainant is without relief against the
real estate. without the aid of this Court.
The Bill then prays that the said real
estate, or so much thereof as may be ne
cessary, may be sold, for the payment of
such debts of said deceased as remain un-
paid. and that the said Mansel E. Morrison,
Administrator, and Susan E. Morrison, his
wife, Jane Walters, and William w. Nor
ris, who is a nonresident of this State,
may be compelled to answer. And also
