New YoRK, 9th,-Special to the Times, dated
Washington, 9th, says Provost Marshal Fry rec
ommends Congress to repeal the 5000 Commu-
tation clause in the Enrolment Act This will
compel drafted men to furnish substitutes. The
reduction Of disabilities which now EXEMPT per
sons from military service will also be urged in
Congress. There seems to be determination
among members Of both Houses to abolish the
Commutation clause.
WASHINGTON, sth.-The rebels occupy three
prominent hills south of the Rapidan, from which
they can observe all our army movements. Two
rebel regiments occupy Fredericksburg.
Rumors generally credited, but not confirmed
are in circulation that Gen. Pleasanton has been
appointed commander of the Army of the Poto-
mac. 1t is reported that tho command was of
fered to Warren and Sedgwick, but was declined
by them.
New York, 9th.-Gen. Butler issued n LENGTHY
order in regard to colored troops, the effect of
which is to call upon negroes to volunteer to
fight for the freedom of their race with instruc
tions to every officer and soldier in his command
to aid the coming of colored persons into our
lines. Negro soldiers are to be paid bounty of
$40 and $40 monthly, while their families are
to be furnished with subsistence.

UNION SENTIMENT IN ARKANsAs.--As proof
that strong Union sentiment does prevail in
that State, we give the following extract from
the Little Rock Democrat of Nov. Gath
The Union men of Arkansas are working hard
for a restoration of the old Government, and
with great apparent success. The people from
the country are daily fockng in, taking the
oath of allegiance and enrolling themselves in
the home companies for protection against guer-
rillas. The counties of Pope, Conway, White
and Van Buren are reported to be cleared of guer-
rillas, who have gone south of the Arkansas
Price has reached Washington some eighty miles
from Little Rock. AS as can be ascerained
his forces number between fifteen and sixteen
thousand.
The unconditional Union men of Arkansas
held Convention at Fort Smith, on the 18th of
November, at which twenty counties were rep
resented, and candidate to represent Western
Arkansas in the National Congress placed in
nomination.

THE FOURTH OF July 1876.-At a Convention
held in Watertown, Jefferson county, N. Y,
March 8, 1851, VIM. GLAND Bourne read an ad-
dress, and submitted the following resolutions
Resolved, That we recommend to the people OF
the United States that they unite in fixing the
Fourth of July, eighteen hundred and seventy
six-the centenary Of American Independence
as the day which shall witness the termination
of American slavery.
ResoEped. That we call for Convention of two
delegates from each of the States of the Ameri-
can Union, who shall meet and deliberate upon
the best measures for the Abolition of slavery,
and uniting us as one people in this glorious
work

LET THE PLEBEANs SPEAK.-We insist that
every farmer mechanic and laboring man in the
State should raise his voice in favor of making
the currency of the United States the currency
of the State of California. 1t is this class of
our citizens who suffer directly through the i'm
positions now practiced under protection of law
by importers and wholesale merchants. They
send members to the Legislature who exclude
by their enactments the currency of the Federal
Government from being legal tender in Cali
fornia. And here, in the opinion of many, lies
the sequal to the Boilers movement in San Fran
cisco at the last election. The Stockton hide
pendent, in an able article on this subject says
San Francisco dealers buy all the goods in New
York with greenbacks they can (by prescribing
greenbacks in San Francsco,) and sell the same
goods here for gold at an increased price over
that paid with grccnbacks in New York. Thus
they not only make the premium on gold, which
is from 40 to so per cent, but also their per cent
on the merchandise, which is from so to 100 per
cent more. Buying in greenbacks themselves,
as above explained, they nevertheless have com
bined together, and established a rule to receive
nothing but gold for their goods. If any into
rior merchant or trader offers to pay his debts
owing to them in legal tenders, he is prescribed
inexorably, and can never again obtain credit
to the amount of one dollar in San Francisco
among their class, which really includes all the
large dealers in that city Thus the paper cur
rency of the United States is virtually excluded
from circulation MS money in this State, and
one arm of the Government raralyzed on the
Pacific Coast

Nor TRUE.--Some time ago report was Cir
cuated here to the effect that Charley Shafer, the
old express rider, had been seen at Bannock Ci-
ty, Idaho Territory. Mr.. Brastow, of the Shas-
ia Express Office Immediately wrote to Col. Thos.
j. Butler, editor of the Boise Ne,o,, to ascertain
whether the report had any foundation. We
have seen Mr.. Buffers reply, in which he states
that he had made diligent inquiry in regard to
Shafer,-had talked with a great many people
who formerly knew him in California, and not
one had seen or heard Of him since the date of
his supposed drowning in Browns creek in the
great food of '6l-62. We don't believe Char
ley Shafer has been seen by mortal man since.

VISIT YouR ScHooLs.-An exchange pertinent
ly remarks that man or woman who drops into
the school-house often, and shows an inter
est in their pupils, and in their comfort, is
public benefactcr. Both teachers and scholars
are encouraged to maintain good behavior, and
make extra effort. Who does not remember the
stimulus to the whole school of visit from
parent or other person? school visited two or
three times week, the visitors insisting that no
show or change Of programme be made, but that
all things 60 in regular course, will generally
be twice as prosperous as the school never vis-
ted. The public school should be the pet and
pride of every parent.

THE Virginia City Union says that events in
dicate very clearly that George B. Mcclellan, is
to be " the miserable wretch, who is to be
offered up as the Democratic candidate for Pres
ident in 1864, and in closing its remarks says
= 1t is more than probable that George B. Nc
Clellan will descend to posterity a General
who first crippled the cause he pretended to
serve, and then linked his name to nfamy for
ever, as the standard bearer of party which
sought for peace at the price of freedom and
honor"

MY BOYS.
nv THE COFFIN OF LITTLE BABY "cHnIsIEp !

r,r1,rrpx ny THE COFFIN OF LITTLE BABY "cHRIsIE"
God will do all things well for me,
own and trust His power,
Though heavy my Affections press
In this most trying hour
A radiant glory seems to rise
Enhancing on my sight,
Where I can read the blessed words
He doeth all things right.
The hopes built on earthly things
Have faded in the dust,
But this shall work eternal good,
Is my sustaining trust.
gloried in my treasures sweet,
My precious baby boys,
Nv mother-heart beat high and fast
Above its earthly joys.
What bliss came with my frst-born boy
Ny ALLIE, pure and mild,
How cheerless seem d the rest OF life
When death came for my child
Just thirteen months he lived with us,
1t seemed he came to draw
Our earthly hearts to better things
Than mortals ever saw.
And when my laughing CHRIsIE came,
The two seem'd d blent in one,
He was to my enraptured heart
An angel and son
Just five months old the day he died,
How swift the summer flew,
How like vision bright he came,
And faded from our view.
There's nothing but the waxen form
Of my pet darling now,
The eyes of sparkling blue are dim,
And cold the lofty brow
The little baby-arms and hands,
With snow-buds PLACID between,
Are just as pure and white as they,
And innocent of sin.
The perfect form that writhed in pain
Our hearts grew faint to see,
Is easy now, and evermore
From sin and suffering free.
But oft my heart grows sick and cold.
My arms ache for my child,
All earth grows dark as or me sweeps
This sorrow sharp and wild:
Earth has no balm for grief like this,
Oh pray that Heaven may give
My two fair boys to me again
When go there to live.
Their little graves are far apart,
AS far as East and West,
But their sweet spirits mingle now,
Forever saved and blest
My God, Thou teachest us to say
In truth, ''Thy will be done
Oh sanctify this grief to us
Through Thine own suffering Son
The father far across the sea-
The little sisters here
And | with my half-brcaking heart,
To each and all be near.
The reason why thou chastenest us,
No voice to me doth tell,
But in the future we shall know
Thou doest all things well

About the " Boilers"

Hardly down-country paper is received which
does not devote more or less space in discussing
the question as to whether or not the San Fran
cisco Boilers - should be admitted into Legis-
lative caucus So far as we have very
few of the papers which have taken up the cudgel
in their defense ever aided in the formation of,
or ultimate triumph of the Union party, while
every Copperhead sheet in the State is loud in
its mouthings relative to the great injustice
sought to be done these San Francisco innocents
We have before expressed the opinion that the
matter should be passed over, for the simple
reason that we do not desire to see discord in the
Uuon ranks; it would only be theme for ex-
ultation by rebel sympathizers. Still we believe
that admitting the % Boilers " with the admo-
milton of "go and sin no more" is but bid for
disorganizers to follow the example in every
countv in ~ " year. They would

Gates were men who never before were identified
with or voted with the Union party, and it is
openly charged that the two Skaters used their
utmost endeavors to elect the Copperhead cam
iidate for Judge in the 7th District in order to
further their own ends
Sincerely we don't believe these " Boilers -
are entitled to seats in the Union Legislative
caucus, yet for the reasons above given believe
with the lone Chronicle that q the Union party
of the State looking with a single eye to the at
tainment of that object for which almost mil
lion of men are in arms, should have nothing to
do with local feuds schisms of party often
but quarrels between the leaders of them let
the leaders wrangle, if they so mind, but let
outsiders keep aloof and take sides with neither.
No party was ever yet so strong as to be able for
any great length of time to adopt proscrptive
course by so doing they foment, not allay, dis
