A Voice from the Interior.
FRYEBUKG, Nav, 1868.

To the Editor Of the Press:
or late years those not occupied with the
management Tor mismanagement) of public
affairs, and with a turn for practical thinking,
have been much exercised with the question
whether our politicians believed in the exis-
tence OF Supreme Being, and in their ac-
eountability TO him. The inquiry. which has
been heretofore so much subject of merely
curious speculation, is certainly now one of
serious and practical Importance. When we
see men who have devoted their lives not at
all to the business of fitting themselves for Of
flee, but entirely to the purpose of acquiring
1t, holding in their hands the lives of thou
sands, and perhaps the destinies of the coun-
try, ii would be at least some satisfaction to
know that If their intelects are shallow, their
convictions of the magnitude OF their respon-
sibilities are deep; and if their inclinatons
arelnaturally dishonest, that the fear of punish
ment will operate as a check upon extreme
viainy. But the events of the past ten years
have well nigh demonstrated the fact that
some of those who occupy high positions in
civil and military life are sustained by no fear
either of God, in whom they disbeieve, or of
man whom they have long deceived and in
jured with impunity, or of the evil one whom
they serve. Upon their souls rests the awful
weight of blood poured out in vain = of the
lingering agnoies of men left upon the field
whittier they have been led to premeditated
slaughtered the sufierings OF myrads whose
homes have been rendered desolate
1t is time to have done with the thoughtless
phrase, "tte fortunes of ,car;" delusive ae-
count for our disasters; hideous mockery of
consolation.
Too often we know-and the thought .adds
double bitterness to our sorrow - that the
friend, for whose loss worlds could not atone,
has not fallen fighting for his countrys honor,
but has been offered up a sacrifice to traitor
Gus superiors.
And shall not human vengeance overtake
the authors OF these calamities, or shall we
continue to trust "Northern men NTH South
ern principles" and leave it to history to re-
cord that great nation was ruined by en-
poying the tools of slavery and despotism to
defend the cause of freedom? RUsTICus.

In some States the elements for rcsump-

can they know but that the general gov

the proclamation plan is presented which
may be accepted by them as a rallying
point, and which they are assured in adj

may briitg them to act sooner than they
otherwise would.

In the midst Of other cares, however
important, we must not lose sight of tho
fact that the war power is still our main
reliance. To that power alone can We
look yet for time, to give confidence to
the people in the contested regions, that
the insurgent power will not again over:

How the Rebel Armies nr Recruited.

In a Rebel mail recently captured by
our forces in Tennessee, letter was
found from Confederate officer to his
wife, informing her that he was engaged
in "hunting conscrii is" He says:
| "Icstcrday | was out with four men.
The first hiding, place we found was in a
small thickct between wagon road and
creek. One of our party accidentally
stepped into the top of chimney The
den had been dug in the earth, little
larger than grave. 1t had snug little
fire place, and plenty of straw and coffee
pot in it 1t was nicely covered with
boards, with snug trap or fall door to
60 in at, and the whole covered with
leaves and brush 50 as to make a natural
appearance. But there was no person
within. This was something new to u.s.
We then proceeded to hunt further On
the opposite side of where the man lived
We found another den similar to the first,
by the side of a large log. We have rea-
son to believe there are many such places
in this country Therefore, the catching
of conscripts has become quite tedious
business"
The unanimity and the zeal of the
Southern people in support of the Re
belllon is theme Of constant admiration
on hnhalf Of thei" E"rnpna" ana narre-
head sympathizers. Here is an illustra-
tion of it. The first few months of Rebel
ascendcncy at the South were de"otcd to
killing, crushing or cxpclling every per
son who by speech or silence evinccd
loyalty to the Union. Thenceforth, eve
ry person in the South was held to belong
to the Confederacy, and was put to use
as we see above. No wonder the rebel
armies are large; for every white able to
serve in them is reached by the inexora-
bic conscription. No wonder public sen.
timent seems unanimous, when any one
who uttcrs syllable Of dissent is at onccc
arrested if net put to death. Must Mt
that be nice country for poor man to
live in?-N Y Tribune.

their duties and obligations, as America,

strewn its blessings with protuse hand
| may veuture the assertion that the pag
OF history will be searched in vain for a,
example Of rebellion so wholly desti-
tute of excuse or vindcation, and SO darl
with crime, as that which our bleeding
country is now called upon to confront
and for the suppression of which all he,

be found in the unhalowed ambition oI
political asprants and agitators, who
boldly ayow their aim, not the establish

all political power is to be concentrated
IN an od'ous and despotlc oligarchy. l,
Is indeed consolotary to know that in
most sections Of the North, those who
sympathizc with the rebellion are not so
numerous and formidable, as the apprc-
tensions of some would seem TO indicate.
1t may be assumed, | trust, that in most
of the Northern States, reliable and un-
/ swcrvlng patriotism is the rule, aud dis
loyalty and treason the exception. But
there should be no division of sentiment
upon this momcntous question. Men
should know. and lay the truth to their
heart, that there is course of conduct
not involving overt treason, and not
therefore sub Get to punishment as such,
which nevertheless implies moral guilt
and gross otIensc against their country.
Those who live under the protection and
enjoy the blessings Of our bcuignant
Government, must learn that they cannot
stab its vtals with impunity. It they
cherish hatred and hostility to it, and
desire its subversion, let them withdraw
from its jurisdiction, and seek the fellow

they are in sympathy. If they remain

VALLANDIGHAM, BURNSIDE AMI

VALLANDIdHAn, BURNSIDE AND
JUDGE LEAvITr.-Lest any copperhead
shall say that Vallandigham, his great
champion, has been denied the sacred
writ OF habeas corpus' by an "Abolition
Court, 1t Is proper to state that Judge
Leavitt, who, in u very able opinion,
refused the writ, is long Democrat,
having received his appointment from
Gen. Jackson himself He is one of the
oldest Judge. on the Federal Bench.
His decision should excite no surprise,
as he only acted on the principle which
controlled Gen Jackson at New Orleans,
when he not only refused to regard the
writ of Federal Court, but imprisoned
Judge Hall for issuing it, which action
was few years since endorsed by Dem.
ocratic Congress.
1t should also be remembered that Gen.
Burnside, who ordered Vallandigham's
arrest and sentenced him, has always
been Democrat. Cht. Journal.
