LET THE DEAD NOT BE FORGoTTEN.-The
President has just approved of a bill for the
issue of hundred millions of dollars to pay
off the army, and the paymasters arc already
busy in distributing the much desired and
long coveted arrearages to the troops. This
is well. But, while government is attending
to the claims of the living, let the dead not
be forgotten. There are thousands of brave
fellows, who will never answer to the roll
call again, never trouble the paymasters, un.
less their appealing through the
wants and suiferings Of those they have left
behind them-Shonld find voice. They
died, many of them, with large arrearages of
pay due to them, and thousands of helpless
widows and orphans to-day remain the pa
tient, but sorrowing creditors of the govern
ment. Their cases should be attended to
with as little delay as possible. 1t is true
that the formula of the second Auditors de-
partment is tedious and difficult but we
would urge upon the authorities to hasten
the payment of the claims of the families of
our dead soldiers. Much suffering would be
removed thereby-N. Y. Herald.

FRIEND SICKLER :

Our usually quiet town has been visited by
one of those unforeseen accidents that make
the heart grow sick and sad. The dwelling
house of Samuel Bishop was discovered to b e
on fire to-day, at about / o'clock, P. NJ, and,
sad to relate, four small children-the whole
of the family-aged respectively 5, 4, 3, and
years, were burned alive. The mother of
these children had left them alone, while she
went to neighbours, and from some caus,.,
which We were unable to determine, the
house took fire, and they were destro, ed
You will probably recollect that Mr.. Bishop
was member of Capt. Ingham's Co. which
left Factoryville last fall, and is reported
missing since the battle at fredericksburg
He was wounded and left on the field. The
family had been taken in charge by the
town the day before this accident. The scene
Of the disaster was truly horrible. Three of
the charred remains were found very near
each other in one corner of the building
while those of the other, the infant. was

to the origin of the fire, | would saw. we.

Practically, the United States Senate might
just about as well meet in Boston as in Wash
ington. The same preponderance of Yankee
Abolitionism is found in the committees of
the Lower House. The fifteen millions of
people in the Middle and Western States are
used as tail to the New England abolition
kite. These sharpers of New England thus
control over $800,000,O0O per annum of the
money OF the country. The great States OF
New York, Pennsylvania, and of the West,
have comparatively no voice in the manage
mens OF the finance of the country. Its mo-
netary and political destiny are in the hands
of set of abolition colporteurs and crazy
fanatics. Ifa country thus used and thus
abused can survive, either financially or po-
litlcally, it will be miracle indeed.
Beecher, in late speech, boasted that
" New England rules the United States.n He
might have said that it is determined to rule
or ruin the United States, and that it has very
nearly accomplished the latter. But the
Middle and Western States will some day
throw eff the abolition yoke. That day is at
hand.-Old Guard.

The u. 8, Treasury Robbed to Buy Negroes.

Ine Us y, treasury H0DDe0 TO BUY Negroes
The Lower House of Congress has passed
Lill to appropriate ten million dollars ($lO,-
000,00O) of the peoples money to buy the
negroes in Missouri. If the people of Mis-
souri, are fools enough to take Mr.. Lincoln's
or Congress- promise to pay for that amount,
SO be it; but ii will never be paid. Congress
has no po wer to appropriate the peoples mo-
ney for such an object-no more right to
empty the treasury Of the United States to
buy negroes in Missouri, than it has to buy
negroes in Guinea--or, than it has to pass a
law authorizing Mr.. Lincoln to send out his
provost marshals to rob the pockets, and
steal the shirts from the backs, of every man
they can oveItake.
The administration has been for some time
spending more than one hundred thousand
dollars a day, to support negroes whom they
have stolen, or induced to run away from
their masters. And all this outlay for ne
groes has been going on while our soldiers
have remained unpaid, and their wives and
children suffering with want-almost with
starvation. Within the last thirty days,
over hundred thousand white men-North
and South-have been slain to appease the
terrible Meloch OF abolitionism. The whole
of this bloody crime may now be summed up
in the horrid word-ab0tti0nism. IIiaS ma
torum. It'll the death warrant of the nation.
Born to afiict Afric's family,
And new dissension in the hearts of brothers,
Born to impoverish and destroy white men
to bestow an imaginary and unattainable
good upon black men. Will the people pay
the unlawful debt? For one, am resolved
not to 60 into this negro-buying business if
can help It, If the people of Missouri wish
to get rid of their negroes, they are welcome
provided they do not throw them upon us
for support Ifthey do not wish to get rid
of them, they are welcome to keep them
Only the people of these Northern States are
determined that they will not be taxed to
buy them. Let those who wish invest in
that kind offund only let them underst tand
that they have Mr.. Lincoln and his crazy
Congress for paymasters. l, abraham Lin
coin 3. Co., promise TO pay ten millions Of
dollars for the aforesaid negroes of Missouri.
If any body is content with such note Of
hand they can take it; but let them not i'm
agine that the nation will endorse it. II
capitalists are intent to advance money on
such paper, it is their own speculation let
them not accuse the nation of dishonesty in
rcpudiating the illegal demand.-Old Guard.
