. .Saf(isteuanfous,
Charges against Speaker Calicot of the N. N.
. .. s- Legislature. ....


The proper time having arrived, the Demo-
crat members of the Assemble propose to
arraign L. G. Callcot, Speaker of that body,
for gross official and personal corruption. The
charges have been formally made, and embra-
ce the following point: .ra
First. That Mr.. G. was intrusted with
the sale of eight shares of bank stock by
Mrs. Wood that he sold the stock and retain
the money, until last January, when. being
threatened with exposure by Mrs. Woods
agent, lie procure the amount on draft made
BY the chairman of the Republican Union
State Committee and liquidated the debt. 1t
is alledged that this money was received as a
compensation for his vote on the election of
officers of the House, United State senator,
&c. Tt is charged also that Mr.. C. has recev-
ed ST. 200 from the committee or member of
the Republican Union party "for his treachery
and betrayal of the Democratic majority of
the House." - 7ssEE
Second. 1t is charged that Mr.. Callicot,
when member of the House in 1860, had
charge of bill which Walter s. Church, of
this city, desired to defeat, and that while
the bill was pending solicited loan, first of
SlOO and them of $3.50, of Mr.. Church, Mr.
Callcot avowing himself opposed to the bill.
These applications where not responded to-,
and Mr.. G. voted for the bill, although in its
different stages, he had previously voted
against it.
Third. Tt is charged, also, that when run
ing last fall for the Assembly Mr.. Callicot rec
eived $500 from the president of horse rail-
road in Brooklyn as consideration 10 use his
influence and vote in favor of said road.
Fourth. 1t is further charged that he rec
eived $3.50 for his vote for bill which passed
the Legislature of 1860.
This is formidable indictment. and if any
part of it is proved true the election of CAL
LIcor will prove the most damaging political
victory ever achieved by party IN this coun-
try. For obvious reasons we do not propose
discuss the merits of this case until after the
trial, but should CALLlcoT be found guilty it
would be fitting finale to the most corrupt
party that ever held power in this state.

Of torture which pierced every ear. In an

five, left the Senate.--Lancaster InteLligencer

Down. down, like blessing it came to the earth,
And an Angel of glory recorded its birth.
Then throw UP your bonnet,
Set the harp-strings a-buzzing,
The Heavens have smiled
,. And you've got new Cousin.
It's the winsomest wee thing I've seen for while,
With its little pug nose and its delicate smile,
And sure if you'd see it, like any young Miss d.,
You'd catch up the wee thing and give it kiss
Then throwup your bonnet -r
Give cheers by the dozen;
The family's increased, MA H-
And you've got a new Cousin.
It's voice is celestial, so soft and SO fine,
That if twas not mortal, you'd think it divine
And the song of stars Q would venture to say,)
Is as unlike its music as night is to day.
Then throw up your bonnet, -..s .....-
And scream with delight, .. ..,..
For you got new Cousin
s.. On last Monday night!
Its eyes are like violets floating in wine . :.
Like the ocean-kissed coral, its rosy lips shine
And its little round pate is all covered with hair
As fnc a cobweb spun out in the air
Then fling up your boonnet
Shouting loudly for joy,

and the outworks Of the rebel fortidca-
lions; and if we had gained these. we
should only have crossed the fiery thresL-
hold Of the dreadful hell that was beyond
them. As it was, we had to withdraw,
without result, without gain, and also
without much loss, which is great con
ISOLATION.
We have learned, however, from this re-
connolssance, that our iron-clads are not
invulnerable, and our old faith in their
being able able to perform seeming impos-
sibilities, has to undergo, therefore, alarge
discount. We have also learned
what ought to have been known
long before the attack-that Charleston
cannot be taken by naval force alone.
There were 5000 soldiers in the defense
Of that city and its works; we had but
eleven hundred in all, to oppose to them
by watcr-and not man on shore. The
reliance which The people had placed upon
Hunters land forces, was altogether mis-
placed. This General could only havc
spared, at the most, 1000 men; but not !
soul out Of the lot eyer reached Charleston
on this occasion.
Apart from the hatred which every loyal
man feels for Charleston, and the general
desire to see it crushed out and blotted
from the map, no great good would hare
come to us from its fall. The people have
only to regret, therefore, the failure Of a
cherished project, and not to mourn over a
national defeat.

Backing Down.

One Of the pleasant features Of the recent
Union successes over the Copperheads in the
Northern States, is the decided change In the
tone Of their organ5-the Copperhead press.
a fen weeks ago they were all for "peace on
any terms" Now many of them are for
peace only through the force Of Federal arms.
In this work Of crawflshing, the New York
World took the lead, aud has been followed
BY the smaller fry. The Buffalo Courier
hitherto not behind the most yiru1cnt-has
suddenly come about, and is. East rctreating
from its fatal policy. It says, in q late issue:
*The organization Of q speacs party in the
present condition Of National afl;1irs, will be
tound an uphill business, not likely to prove
profitable to politicians who engage In it.
The result Of elections, Hhero the issue Of
the vigorous prosecution Of peace has been
presented, have not been SO favorable as to
encourage further experimenting in this d.
receion."
The construction Of new and more war
like platform before the fall campaign, will
prove necessity which the Democracy will
hardly resist, If they would escape utter
annihilation.

12sih Illinois regiment-which, last fall, while
in Camp Butler, gave unanimous yotc for
the Copperhead ticket, afterwards attempted
In body to desert to the enemy, and are now
under arrest for treason-was arrested 4 short
time since for stealing property belonging to
the Government. His house, como t.n .,.i,ee

and unusual places were found hospital stores,
medicines, mosquito bars, hospital blankets,
napkins, and other such fixtures, to the value
Of fabont $500. Being unable to give any ex-
plaratiou as to the manner In which he came
into possession Of this property, he has since

Gen. Hooker has issued an order In which
he 1cprimands, in general terms, officers who
send incorrect information from the picket
lines of the enemy. The outposts Of an army,
he says, are its safeguards, and this duty must
be so performed that the camps are not un-
necessarily disturbed. Officers Of the outposts
are expected to inform themselves accurately
Of all events transpiring in their vicinity, and
those whose fears magnify trihing squads into
large bodies Of the enemy, IS richly deserve
death rs the base wretch who deserts lis coun-
trE's tlag OF his comrades in battle. It has
been too much a practice, upon the ontposts
and battle fields, to send back reports, and
call for reinforcemcnts, founded upon imagin.
alton or the tales Of frightened or cowardly
shirk. The fate Of a battle may be changed
by such reports. Officers will be held rcspon-
sible that their reports from the front are per
ftctly reliable. Corps commanders will take
efectual measures to prevent struggling, which
must not be permitted. Regiments not moy-
irg promptly as ordered, per-
mitting struggling, or where tho
officers show lack of capacity md
zeal in pushing forward and overcoming OBJ.
stacles, must be specially reported for such
neglect, in addition to other measures that
may be taken By commanders in such cases

Cenfscating rebel property, and sending
the bold, defiant, outspoken friends Of the
rebellion residing in the North beyond our
lines, is source Of the highest Indignation
and alarm among the Copperhcads. And well
it may, for they have got to'face the music.
Burnside has said 1t. But these sympathizors
seem to be profoundly ignorant of the fact
that the ''geut1emanly Southrons" hare prac-
ticed this very thing from the start. Every
person-man, woman and child-Hho has
dared to utter word Of sympathy for the
Union, are either hung, shot or sent inside
the Federal lines and their property contls-
Gated. Says Murfsecsboro correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Gax<tte:
All along the line Of their dcfenses spies
are fent among the Confederate soldiers to
ascertain who has remote leaning toward
storaon Il the Unisn as it va "a s befare tho m
rebellion broke out. In this manner he gets
an expression Of opinion from many Of

Marshall issued orders In Kentucky that all
who were not for the Confedc7acy in that
State must remove north Of the Ohio River,
or be considered as aliens. Be that, however,
as it may, the following document, issued
