Colonel Hathaway said he was demo-
crat of fifty winters-he was democrat
still, and spoke as democrat. he had
acted in thepast with men claiming to be
democrats, but whom he believed to be
traitors. None of them now knew him.
Even Hendricks knew him once. Hen
bricks made q speech in the 9th of Janu.
airy Convention in favor of a Northwestern
ConfederRcy. He was In Missouri at the
time. The rebels there were encouraged
by that speech. They said he was no dem
0crat because he did mot endorse it. He
wrote Hendricks a letter asking certain
Questions. 1t is still unanswered, aud
Hendricks don't know ion now.

THE PRESIDENTS RErAL1AroRY ORDER

The Presidents emphatic order makes flu
tile the barbarous threats OF the enemy. The
rebel leaders will not dare TO hang Federal
officers of colored regiments whom they may
capture, now that they are officially informed
that for every man thus murdered a rebel
officer VIII be executed. They will not
dare to sell into slavery colored soldiers,
now that they know that their own men in
our possession will suffer sim liar punish
ment. The United States cannot sell its
prisoners of war, being a civilized power,
but 1t can righteously use them as instruments
to force upon the enemy the practical re-
spect for humanity, which formally he has
scorned. The President has taken firm DO
sition in defence of humanity he has sus-
tanned the law of nations against the outrage
and brutality of the rebellion. This simple
announcement Of counter retaliation is at once
an argument and decree; the one cannot be
refuted, the other it is impossible to revoke,
Not word more is needed to make plain to
the world the basis of public right upon which
the Government stands. What matchless eff
frontery, indeed, in the enemy, when he at
tempted to dictate to us the complexion of
our troops, when he sought by threat of mas
sacre 10 frighten US into the admission of a
code OF war hitherto unheard of in Chrsten-
dom Not alone in defence of our colored
citizens in the military service of the coup-
try, but in the common interest of all Chris
tian States, is this order made. The cold
blooded system of massacre which Jefferson
Davis sought to establish is insult to the
Sc If respect of the world. We may not ex-
pect that it will be formally Withdrawn, but
we need not fear that it will be effectually en-
forced; for, if the rebel authorities should
madly force the United States to execute
these stern but just measures of retaliation,
they will be answerable not only for the death
OF our men in their hands it will be doub-
lie murder they will then commit.

THE CHIvALRY.

In Fort Wagner rebel officers were indig-
nant that negroes were permitted to fight a.
gainst gentlemen. This, they thought, was
to say the least, unchivalrous. In a word, it
was wrong to set the slave against his master.
With this view of justice and chfvaIry, we are
credibly informed that after the battle of Fort
Wagner wounded negro soldiers were tortur-
ed by the gentlemanly surgeons of the Con-
federacy, and in several cases barbarously put
to death by the rebel soldiers. Here. as at
Helena, Miliken's Bend, and Port Hudson mo
quarter was given to the blacks. This fate
the blacks accepted, and who sha II say that
they have not fought it nobly Treatment
such as we have mentioned white soldiers
have met from savages alone the negroes,
however, have received it from the new civil
ization of the South. Servile revolution, it
was once complained, would inaugnrated mas
sacre. Where, now, is the new St. Domingo
of the blacks The case is reversed. Instead
of the slave numbering his master and the
black butchering the white, we have the
strange contrary of the mob in New York and
the garrison at Fort Wagner.-Press.

AGRIc0LA.

When slowly sinks the setting sun,
Adown the rosy, redd ming west,
The weary swain. his labor done,
His cottage seeks, and dreams of rest.
His prattling babes around him press
merry, mirthful, happy throng-
To claim the rustics rough caress,
And listen to his rustic song.
His loving spouse, with beam ing smile.
Breathes her fond welcome In his ear:
And trills soothing air the while
Her hands prepare the evening cheer.
He locks around his peaceful home
He smiles upon his girls and boys,
And wonders that mankind should roam,
Or seek abroad forbidden joys
The placid current of his life
Flows on, a calm, unruffied stream.
As free from sorrow, care and strife,
As youthful Fancy's morning dream
His wife and child ren-all his wealth,
His tolls and cares alone for them;
His only badge the glow of health.
And love his only diadem
As slowly sinks the setting sun
Adown the rosy. redd ming west.
So, when the day of life is done.
Shall he as calmly sink to rest.

An army chaplain, speaking of the bravery
of some of our troops, relates an incident that
be saw happen on the bait Ie- field.
"a Union soldier was fighting bravely af-
ter most of his companions had been shot
down. The chaplain watched him. He saw
cannon ball strike the soldiers left arm, and
sever it between the shoulder and elbow.
The conclusion turned the soldier completely
round, his arm falling at the distance of ten
feet or more from where he stood. The chap
lain still watched him, unconsciousIy to the
soldier, who did not know that he was regard
ed at that moment by any other than the All
Seeing Eye. The soldier looked at his left
side and beheld his bleeding stump; then.
turning around, commenced searching for his
discovered arm. He picked it up, and held it
for moment in its place; he then held il a
lott in his right hand ,and exultingly exclaim-
Ing, This is my sacrifice for the Unoni' he
hurled it with all his might at the retreating
foe.''

the fruit of many disappointments, and

creature, by concentrating his powers on a

CREAM FOR CoNsUMpFIvE PATIENTS
Medical Reporter says that consumptive pa
tient, now under treatment, is taking cream,
with better effect than was experienced under
the cod liver oil, previously tried. Our ad-
vice is for all who have, or think they have,
consumption, to adopt a cream diet. Eat the
pure, sweet cream, abundantly, as much of it
as the stomach will digest we'll, and we doubt
not that it will prove quite as effectual as the
purest codliver oil that can be bought.

THE REBELS AND rHADpEus STEVENS.

1t is known that one OF the heaviest losers
oy the rebel invasion of Pennsy lvania was
ihaddeus Stevens. The Chambersburg Re-
posifory gives the following account of the de.
struction of his property in Adams county /:
"fhe only private property destroyed by the
order of an officer, in this valley, was the ex-
tensive iron W orks of Hon. Thaddeus Stevens,
ten miles east of this place. They consisted
OF charcoal-furnace, forge, rolling mill, coal
house, shops, &c. On Tuesday, the 23d, i
portion of Jenkins cavalry came upon the
works by an unfrequented mountain road from
Hughes works, and demanded the horse sand
especially the two riding horses which they
described. They threatened that they won Id
destroy the buildings if the horses we're not
given up. Mr.. Sweeney, who had charge of
the works s,agreed to deliver up the riding hor
ses if the property should be protected. This
they agreed to, but Oh going for the riding
horses they met the teamsters and compelled
them TO produce all the horses and mules
nearly forty in all, with gears, harness. &c.
They had evidently been minutely informed
OF the whereabouts of Mr.. Stevens horses as
they described them and knew exactly where
TO go after them. The day after General Early
rode up TO the works accompanied by his staff,
and avowed his intention to destroy them.
Mr. Sweeney reminded him that he would
infiict a much more serious injury upon some
hcndred poor laborers who work ed there than
npon Mr.. Stevens. Gen. Early replied that
MI Stevens was an ''enemr of the South, in
favor OF confscating their property and arm
ing their negroes, and the property must be
destroyed" He then placed d guard around
1t, and gave special instructions that it should
not be destroyed until he gave the order. He
seemed exceedingly fearful that he might miss
the delightful spectacle of Mr. Stevens works
in flames. He then returned to the Green
wood, where he had his headquarters, but re-
turned the next day and personally detailed
Colonel French, of Jenkins guerriIlas, with
his command, to illustrate Southern chivalry
and humanity by applying the torch to the
private property of Mr.. Stevens, because he
was guilty of the crime of defending the re-
public of our fathers. The work of destruc
ton was we'll done. and soon all the works
were in ashes. The houses occupied by fam
lilies were not fred. Some three thousand |
dollars worth of charcoal was destroyed seven |
thousand pounds of bacon stolen, leaving the |
families of the laborers without food, in spite
OF the earnest representations made by Mr.
Sweeney as to their present condition. Mr..
Stevens loss is not less than fifty Thousand
dollars. He is the only man in Pennsylvania
who has been thus houored by the vandals for
his devotion to freedom.
