Soldiers Letters.

We are in receipt of agreat number of
letters from the Army, and there are no
class of men in the world, for whom
than our brave soldiers,-it would afford
as greater pleasure to print, were it not
that they arc almost without an exception
too prosy. Friends, don't be too long
.winded. Remember, "brevi'y is the spice
Of life, and gives it all its flavor
Christian j. Ash, of Fishingcrcck, a
most worthy loyal young man, writes us
an interesting Letter, but too long for pub
lication.
II. P. Wditeman, of the Army at Suf-
folk, also wants hearing. Many others
are before US and some may soon receive
attention.

IL Must Come TO Blows.

The poor driveling cowardly Hesslan Of
the Harrisburg Telegraph, who recently
proposed hanging Gov. Biger, now says;
cit must come to blows between the
loyal men of free States aud the traitors,
&c--meaning that there must be civil war
here in the free North between the Aboli-
tionists and the Democrats and the Iele-
graph adds: "7hat time is here noW and
tie bloWs are n0,o 10 be Struek." And all
this---the horrors of civil war, with all its
inevitable atrocities-is to take place now.
The poor snooking, cowardly abolition
whelp. Let him stop his revolutionary
twaddle and hazzard his Hessian hide by
"striking the blow" if he wants it struck
The democratic party have patiently borne
two years of insult and slander by bribing
plundoring villains of tho Hessian stripe.
They have only asked their constitutional
rights, and it is time that such cow
ardly bragarts aud fools should know that
they spit upon mock and defy their at
tempted usurpation. Let him bristle up
and strike, there are enough Shanghai
BOOSTERS in his own city to drive all such
foolhardy towards and boosters in disgrace
from the field.

THE NINE Months MEN.-The main
object of the recent visit of Governor Cur
tin to the army Of the Potomac, we are
informed, was for the purpose of promo
ting the success OF the re.enlistment of
those whose terms will expire in few
weeks. In this, the information is, that
he has been highly successful; and it is
belvcd that at least two thirds Of the nine
months men will rc-enlist, after they have
had months leisure and recreation at
hcmc. All who re-enist will receive the
full bounties, and their number will 60 to
make up our quota Of the new call that will
be made under the Conscript law.

EX-SECRETARY CAMERON CONVICTED
BRIDERY.-Thc majority Of the Investi-
eating Committce OF the Pennsylvania
Legislature in the Cameron case have
made a report, finding Gen. Cameron
guilty on the charges of bribery preferred
against him by Jefferson Boyer, member
of the Legislature. After arguing the
case strongly against the witnesses in
Cameron's defence, they say Boyers
statement is corroborated in nearly all the
leading details by testimony Of other wit
nosses, and it appears from the testimony
chat other members oil the Legislature be-
sides Boyer were offered money and a
plan to induce him to vote for Cameron.

gag" The Constitution provides that
Lincoln, Chase, and the whole clan which
now compose the Administration, may be
impeached, expelled from Office and dis
qualified. When all this is done, does
any one suppose that the Government is
impeached! Can you imagine such a
thing as the Government being arraigned d
before the Scnate-oxpelled from Office

Even the supposition is nonscnsical. Lin

A Big Scare In Berks.

The abolitionists have had great scare
over "mares nest" in barn in old
Bcrks. 1t appears that lot of farmers
wishing to test the constitutionality of the
conscription, and desiring to procure funds
to fee lawyers for that purpose, met in a
barn, in which an abolitionist had con.
bealed himself. II was hid in the straw
so that no one could find OF see hsm and
there he heard and sac everybody else.--
He heard something like "rcduction" or
"abduction' or "scducton,' and was
much alarmed lest something Of the kind
was desi ned upon the person of the Pre-
sident. Over this the republicans have
had fine sensation. Suppose now that
it was true that these men were really
conspiring for some secret political pur-
pose. What worse is it than they are
boldly doing or trying to do in every town
in the land. Abolition secret leagues for
midnight conspiracy is openly advocated
by them all. Would it not be lawful if old
Berks should follow their example.

RUTHLESS PRosORIPTIoN.-The fact
that the Democratic party Of every loyal
State have presented an unbroken phalanx
to aid in maintaining the national unity
has not served to stem the tide of persecu-
ton and prescription which seti so boldly
on the advent Of the existing Administra-
ton. The great greed and hunger of the
Aboltionists for place and pelf inaugurated
such n universal system Of prescription as
extended it even to the army.
Democrats occupying civil positions,
recognising the principles that to the "ric
tors belongs he poiIs' were resigned to
their fate. 1t, however, never entered in.
to the Imagination that officers occupying
prominent army positions, and signalizing
their efforts by deeds of heroic daring and
decisive results, should fall under the ban
of political prescription. Such outroges,
however, have been perpctrated in the
past, and are daily repeated.

Day- 1t is sincerely to be regretted that
the head ofthe Internal Revenue Depart
msnt has seen fit 10 publish coyrespon-
denee he has had with General Scott
touching the tax upon the latter military
Income. The law under which General
Scott was retired provided that 1t shoald
be done "withoat reduction in his current
pay, subsistence, aud allowance" hence
he very naturally objected to assessment
levied upon has income by the new tax law.
It seems his annual income amounts to
Sl3, ,796,sO, and his tax for the short
month Of Fcbuary was $50 so. OF course
the general is too much of q patriot to
decline paying any legal assessment, but
he did not deem this such an one and
hence demutred. The demand for pay.
ment, the correspondence, the decision in
face Of the remonstrance, and the final
publication Of General Scott letter, all 60
to show that this is deliberate attempt
to annoy the old hero and injure him in
the pulic estimation. Attic very worst,
it was private matter and should never
have seen the light. This is small busi-
ness in whatever way it may be rgarded.

We have made very liberal allow
ance of Republican strength from The State

For the Columbia Democrat

For ne Columbia Democrat
Mr.. EDIToR-I noticed an editorial in
the Columbia Republican "Smut Ma
chinc,' of April 10th, containing a certain
letter purporting to have been written by
a certain Enos Eycrits, in which tho
Niggcr-hcad Editor tries 10 assal broth
er OF his, by referring to certain stolen
letter that he had published some time
since, said to have been written by II +.
Everitt, Of Benton, in which he published
a big lie. He started out by saying, that
the letter was sent to him lor publication,
by Committee OF the "Iron Guards. -
Now, he is liar, and | can prove him
such, by the members Of that Company,
that there never was Committee appoint
cd by the Iron Guards, to send him the
letter, for no decent Committee would have
sent him such letter for publication.-
The letter is said 10 have been forged
and can be proven to be stolen. But the
public have become fully convinced that
the chyrography was forged to make
capital out Of, and that is the best we
co Id expect Of q tory and traitor
Again the sneaking Black Snake Edi.
tor tried his hand to SANDER Mr.. II. L.
Evcritt, of Benton, by publishing another
lie in his bohan upas sheet, for his paper
is as poisono US to what is right and just
and the Constitution, as the deadly poi
son upas tree is to human nature.
BY publi.hng that II. f. Everitt, had
changed his name, when regcristing it at
Philadelphia, which was false, and he was
then proven a liar, aud the best he could
do was to "come down." like another
sucaking Black Snake, and hunt his hole.
The Quack Dr.. refers the writer to the
"Knights of the Golden Circle" by say
ing that the writer, il he is not, should be
a Knight Of the "Godcn Circle" and
disciple of their rand Master Huber.
/ We think the Dir. made slight mis-
take, when he thought the writer, if he
was not, shoUld be II member Of the Tory
union League, and like himself, a disciple
of their grand master Simon CamYon,--
who like himself, guilty Of treason and to
escape from the fate Of hanging as high
as Haman, which lhcy both so richly de-
serve. lie. Cameron, ike his brother

Mr.. j. i. GETz.
Dear Su With extreme plearsuo
inform you, that the name Of the Hon,
HESTER CLyMER, is very popular in the
Army of the Potomac among the brave
and noble Pennsylvanians, who stand
ready to defend the Constitution of the
United States upon the ground that he
intcrprets. He is regarded by the lead
ing men here from all counties of the Old
Keystone, as the truest and safest man
that can be entrusted with the responsible
position of Governor of the great Arch
Stone of the Uuicn.
The officers from Bcrks, Pike, and
Warren, of this Regiment, highly appre-
ciatc the course of the 18th Senatorial
District, and Perry county, and express
their most heartfelt hope that the Democ
racy from all the counties OF the State will
honor themselves by nominating the man
that possesses the talent and integrity to
restore what abolition corruption has
ruined.
