History VIII brand Them.

The La Crosse journal, a weekly
democratic paper, edited by DR.. Blakes-
lee, well known as an editor, says:
Those men who would how lead the
democratic party into opposition to the
war;, and thus render Intellectual the ef
forts Of the government 70 overpower
the rebellion, might study history with
some advantage, and learn from it the
certain doom of all who have been found
arrayed against their country when en-
gagged in conflict with armed citizens
The tories of the Revolution, the Hart
ford Conventionists, and the opponents
of the Mexican war were held in so
much contempt by majority Of the
people, that the disgrace resulting from
their want of patriotism was indellibly
fixed, and the parties to which they be-
longed only fingered for time until new
issues and new party names partially con
cealed these traitors from public scorn.
So it will be with the villifers of the
government Mt the present day. Politi-
clans, who favored Illuminating conces-
sions to the rebel power-editors, who
denounced the war and those measures
necessary to wage it vigorously-bold.
bad men, who slandered our patriot gem
erals and soldiers rs thieves, and charged
them with lighting to establish Die
tatorship and not to restore the Union
-apologists for the treacherOus tongues
which have discouraged enIistments and
villified the government that they might
more successfully excite dissension and
strengthen party-al these will find a
day of retribution when true patriotism
and grateful people are again rejoicing
over the return Of an honorable peace
and Union restored.

HARVEST HYMN.

ONCE more, oh God, before our eyes,
The fulness Of Thy bounty lies.
And, shaming all our doubt and fear,
Again Thy goodness crowns the year.
On loyal homes, on rebel soil,
On s!avery's task, on freedoms toll,
On good and i'll Thy mercies fall,
For Thou, oh Father, pitiest all
Yet must the debt of sin be paid,
Andjustice come though long delayed;
The wrong must die. the good must be
Joint heir of Thy eternity
Oh hearts must break with pain and los
And mourners bow beneath the cross;
But well we know, what'er befall,
Thy love keeps watch above us all.

THE NEGRO TROOPS.

WAR DEPARTMENT, ADJUTAST GENERAL
OFFICE, WASHINGTON, July 81, 1858.
General Order No. 252.
The following order of tho Presiden.
is published for the Information and gov
eminent of all concerned:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WAsHINGToN,
July 80.
1t is the duty of every government to
give protection to its citizens Of whatever
class, color or condition, and especially to
those who are duly organized as soldiers
in the public service. Tue law of nations
and usages, and customs Of war as carried
on by civilized powers, permit no distinc-
ton as to color the treatment OF prls-
oners of war as public enemies.
To sell or ensla,e any captured person,
on account of his color, and for no Of
fence against the laws of war, is relapse
into barbarsm, and crime against the
civilization of the age. The Government
Of the United States will give the sans
protection to all its soldiers, and if the en-
envy shall sell or enslave any one because
of his color, the offense shall be punished
by retaliation upon the enemy's prisoners
in our possession.
1t is therefore ordered, That for every
soldier of the United States killed in Vi
o!ation of the laws of war, rebel SOL
der shall be executed; and for every
one enslaven by the enemy or sold into
slavery. rebel soldier shall be placed at
hard labor on the public works, and con
tinued at such labor until the other shall
be released and receive the treatment due
TO prisoner of war.
(Signed) ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
By order Of the Secretary of war:
E. d. TOWNSEND,
Assistant Adjutant General.

The New CAPIroL.-The work upon
the new capitol is progressing finely
The foundation for the north wing and
rotunda is completed. and that of the
south wing is nearly done. To-day the
masons are laying the first course OF
stone above the water.table on the north
wing. Ii is hoped to complete the ma
son work Of this wing by tie first of
September.
The work has now progressed so Far,
that it gives tolerabie idea of what the
building is to be; and the general i'm
preston of all who examine it, is that it
will be a splendid building, and decided
ly the best public building in the coun-
try, considering its cost. 1t will not be
an expensive Capitol, but it will be
among the best in the Nation; one that
Wisconsin may we'll be proud of-one
that will do honor to this young and
thrifty Commonwealth.-State Journal.

P1cruaEs.-A room with pictures in
it and room without pictures, differ
about rs much as a room with windows
and room without windows. Nothing
is more melancholy. particularly to per-
son who has to pass much time in his
room, than bleak walls with nothing on
them, for pictures are loop holes of es-
cape to the soul, leading to other scenes
and other spheres. 1t is such an inex-
pressible relief TO a person engaged in
writing or even reading. on looking up not
to have his line of vison chopped off BY
a blank wall. but see beautiful picture
when the fancy for moment may revel
refreshed and delighted. Thus pictures
are CONSIDERS Of loneliness; they are books,
they arc histories aud sermons, which
we can read without the trouble of turn
ING over tho leaves - Downing.

A QUERY.-It is well known that
Brick Polneroy, Of the La Crosse Dem
oerot, was expelled by Gen. Prentiss
from our lines at Helena, under penalty
of being shot as q spy if again found
within them. Now if Brick should be
drafted, and could not borrow the $500
or get substitute, and should be sent to
Prentiss' Division, would he be shot =
We think if he would take along file
of the Democrat for six months past, he
could show that he wa. good rebel, and
might get paroled or exchanged. No
charge, Brick, for the suggestion.

The Public Debt of the U. s.

From an official statement of the pub
lie debt, on the lst of July, furnished by
the Treasury Department, the following
recapitulation is taken :
The whole debt at pr ct
interest, s 28,o59, 295
AT 5 per cent, lOl, 2O7, 639
At per cent, 43I,275,875
At 10 per cent, 139, 920, 500
The whole debt without int, 396, 72l ,057
The total public debt of the United
States on July 1, as shown by the books
Of the Treasury Department, is Sl,897,-
274,366. In the Secretary's report of
last December, he estimated that by this
time the public debt would reach 3d.
l22,299, 403. The expenditures, how
ever, have been slightly less than the
Secretary anticipated, or rather the ma
tional revenue has been somewhat great
er, and the public debt is therefore less
by $25 ,O23, 037 than the Secretary est-
mated last December. The result is a
singular vindication of Mr.. Chase's fore
sight and calculation, az well rs the hon
esty with which he laid before Congress
