How Liquor is Struggled to the
ARMY.

Yesterday Col. Baker discovered the man
ner in which whiskey is smmuggled to the
army by Philadelphia house. 1t appears
that for the past three or four months wbiskey
has, by some means or other, found its way
to the soldiers. Yesterday the Colonel's de-
tectivcs succeeded in arresling P. g. Greene,
and through him captured ten barrels Of flour,
each barrel containing one gallon Of whiskey
neatly packed. This consignment was on its
way to Alexandria when captured by the de
tecIives. The -four, il is alleged, comes from
the house Of John Stewart, on Market street,
Phiadelphia. These goods are shipped bv ex-
press, aud iu varios Other ways, TO avoid de-
lection. The goods, when captured, were on
the way to Alexandria, where there is an es
tablished agency. Greene, two thirds Of his
time, is in Philadelphia. The price for the
-four and whiskey, when sold to those connect
ed 10 the scheme, would be S33, which is
fair profit. The goods we're taken to the
warehouse of Col. Baker, where they nov
remain for further examination. Greene, af
ter being thoroughly searched, was forwarded
to the Old Capitol. Other parties connected
10 the affair will be arrested at once, and
made to suffer the extreme penalty OF the law.
The mercantile house connected in the affair
is very respectable, and doubt exhists whcth-
er the frrn are aware Of all the fatcs in the
case. The wholo matter will be thoroughly
si!ted however, in fai' and impartial man.

DeIiberate stuItlncation.

Natural foolishness il to be pitied aud for
given; wilful aud deliberate qualification may
excite contempt. uuIess the Stiffness is so SUI
prcmey ridiculous Ms 10 provoke miftb Tho
,loings Of the County Democratic Convention
on Saturday, partook Of the latter.
The fi,st resolution, passed BY that body,
endorsed the platform Of the last Democratic
State Convention, ratifying the ticket then
nominated, (" with Clement L. Vallaudigham,
the exile, at it's head"
The second resolution reads thus:
Resolved, That the Democracy ara opposed
to any settlepent Of our present difficulties
that involves n separation Of the Union, of
any in erference with the reserved rights Of the
States; and this. despite the falsehoods Of the
Abolition party, is the Vallandigham plat
form.
Now let the reader turn to the Vallandg-
ham record Of the Congressional Globe OF Feb.
ruary 7tb, I86l-page 794, and he will find
recorded the Vallsndigham platform, as laid
down by "lhe exile" himself. G. L. VAL
landgham introduced into the House of. Rep
resenta,ives a Joint resolution proposing
amendments to tie Constitution. and in that
proposed to amend Ar. XIII, by partitioning
the Union into four sections, as follows:
The States Of Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont. Massachusetts,, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania
shall constitute one section, to be known as
the north.
The States Of Ohio, Ind ana. Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota: Iowa,
and ansas
shall constitute another section, to be known
as the West.
The States OF Oregon and California
y shall constitute another section i,
to DO known as the Pacific.
The States tf Delaware, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina Geor-
gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louis
lana, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky,
and Missouri, shall constitute
another section, to be known as tbe South.
But not content with splitting the Union
into four parts, Mr.. vallandigham directly
legalized secession by any one Of these States
from i,s section, provided the consent OF the
Legislature of all the States Of the section TO
which such seeding State belonged, should
first be obtained.
Gould qualification g farther than for the
Convention thus to declare. that opposition to
q division of the Union is the Vsllandigham
platform, when Vallandgham has laid down
his own platform, which in so many words,
divides the Union into four parts, aud pro-
vides for further division into iufuitessmal
partsf =,
The Convention supposed the people would
make Just as great asses of themselves as did
the Convention, but Vallandigbam dema-
goguos and copperheads must not judge other
people by themselves.

What GilmOre's Gums Can Do.
The Washington Star remarks:

In connection with the operations now in
progress at Charleston, it is interesting to
know that hollow shot, weighing 80 pounds,
con be thrown fiom 100 pound Psrrott 8.
45s yards with charge of No. 2 powder.
With a charge OF No. 5 powder the same shot
can be thrown 8, s45 yards. This As yards
over five miles. BY increasing the charge OF
powder, the range can be considerably in
creased. Tue elevation Of the gun to attain
this great range is so considerable as to mate
rally reduce the number Of 6rings the gun
will bear, but the fact is we'll established that
100 FOUNDER can throw shot from our bat
teries Into Charleston, and that our 200.

certainty. So Gen. Gilmore does actually

MR.. WOOD TO PRESIDENT LINCOLN.
New YoRK. Dec. 1869
To his Excellency Abraham Lincoln.
MY DEAR SIR:-Your letter Of the 12th
inst, was handed to me on the l5nst by Mr..
Wakemau, tie Postmaster of this city.
Pardon me, Mr. Presinent, when | say that
your reply has filed me with profound regret.
II declines what conceived TO be an Innocent
effort to ascetain he foundation foa informa-
tion in my possession OF desire 10 the South
to return TO the Union. II thus appears to be
an invocation on your part to continue poll
CIV which in my judgment is not only un~ise,
but in the opinion Of many s in coLffict with
the constitutional authority vested 10 tho Fed
eral Government.
think, however, that nv proposition is in
keeping with your own expressed conditions
upon which the war shall cease. You say
that "when. the people Of the Solthern States
would cease resisianc aud would re inaugu
rate, submit to, and maintain the National au.
,tority with the limits Of such State under
the Consl tuition of the Unitsd States.
Admitting tl,is position as correct, you will
see that rs a condition precedent at such sub.
mission the opportunity to do no must be af.
forded. 1t cannot be expected that the South.
ern people, will cease resisting, 80 loug as We
proclaim our Intention TO destroy their local
institutions, their property and their lives, and
accompany the declara ion with corresponding
Legislative, executive, social and political ac
ton. They cannot csa-e resistance and re in
augursie. submit to. and maintain the Federal
authority, il we will not let them alone long
enough to do so. IL they really desire acqui-
esccnce, and are willing to send delegates to
the next Congress, as / am advised, bow can
they do so without the opportunity, and with
out some iDtmations or guarantees as to the
reception OF their representive at Washingtonf
The act OF sending representatives to Con
gress is within itself full compliance with
your own Conditions. II thus represented by
their own selected agents, chosen under the
forms and in pursuaoce OF their own local,
State laws governing such elections, they
will compose an integral portion of the Gov
ernneut, aud thus give the assurance OF an
"scquiesence and submission" Of the v"ry
highest and most satisfactory character.
My respectful suggestion was that you
should put il in their power tc take this course
1t would require simple proclamation ofgen-
ersl amnesty, to be qualified, if yon please by
such cond iloLs as to render it void in case Of
non complauce within a limit d period. You
have established precedent for this mode of
speaking to those people. Your Emancipa'
lion Proclamation told of punishment. Let
another he issued speaking the language Of
mercy aud breathing the spirit OF codc'liaiiou.
