EXECUTIVE MANSION, MARcH 10, 1863
Ia pursuance Of the twenty-sixth section of

Aud whereas, evil-disposed and disoyal per-
sons at sundry places having enticed aud pro-
cured soldiers TO desert and absent. themselves
from their regiments, thereby weakening the
strength OF the armies and prolouging the war,
giving aid aud comfort TO the enemy, and cruelty
mining in the ranks to increased hardships and
danger, do therefore call upon all patriotic and

mentioned dangerous and reasonable crimes,

Judge Fisher.

The Washington Chronicle, in an article
in relation to the new court in the District
of Columbia, speaks in deseryedly compli.
mentary manner of Hon. GEORGE p. FISHER.
appointed one of the Judges lie says:
"Mr. Fisher was for two years the repre-.
sentative of the State of Delaware in Con
gress, and was previously known to the peo.
pie of this District as the private secretary
of Hon. John NJ. Clayton while that great
man occupied the State Department under
President Taylor. His steady support of all
the measures Of the general Administration
in the face of the caumnies and threats o.
the secessionists, showed his nerve and hi,
sincerity, and these, added to his fine lega
talents, will sustain him in his coming ex
perience."

Republic, by means OF, and for the sake Of, their

70 Mr.. Madison despair was not easy. He had
cheerful and sanguine temper, and II there was
Que thing rather than another which he had
learned to consider secure, it was the Constitu-
ton which he had so large share in making.
Yet he told me that he was nearly in despair,
aud that the had been quite so ill the COLOMBIA
ton Society arose. Rather than admit to him
self that the South must be laid waste by ser
vile war, or the whole country by civil war, he
strove to believe that millions of negroes could be
carried to Africa, aud so got rid Of | need not
speak of the weakness Of such hope what
concerns us now is that he saw aud described to
me, when was his guest the dangers and hor-
rors, of the state Of society in which he was liv
ing lie talked more of slavery than of all other
subjects together, returning TO it morning, noon
aud night. He said that the cl,rgy perverted
the Bible, because il was altogether against
slavery; that the colored population was incrsa-
sing faster than the white and that the state oil
morals was such as barely permitted society to
exist OF the issue Of the conflict, whenever il
should occur, there could, he said, be no doubt.
A society burdened with slave system could
mrke no permanent resistance to an uneucum'
beted enemy; aud he was astonished at the ia
naticism which blinded some Southern men to sc
clear certainty.
Such was Mr.. Madson's opinion in 1885.

To President jeff who was standing by,

Built out of the precious cotton.
Aud they capped their hands with loud applause
As he opened wide his eloquent jaws,-
They drowned his speech--exoept one word,
Which at every pause, distinctly heard,

To shut out the sound Of their cries and CHEERS

To the private soldier as we'll as the commits

When the army OF the United States shai

the future historian will search the records for
the names Of those who saved the nation from
destruction by the most causeless and wicked
rebellion that has disgraced the annals OF mau-
kind.
Ia the State of Delaware he would search in
vain; in no department is there any evidence
that private soldier is in the field. The names
of those III commission only are to be found
This must be reinedied. A permanent aud duTa-
BILE record will be made, to which the children
eau refer as the evidence Of their fathers
loyalty.
