From the MsWark( ~ ~ Journal.
Mr.. Holsman's Resolutions.

The resolutions presented in the State
Senate by the Hon. Daniel Holsman, Of
Bergen, will be found in our legislative
proceedings. They open very impor-
tant subject for the consideration of the
Legislature and the people of the State,
and cannot fail to elicit discussion and
bring about important action. We need
not claim for them the particular atten-
tion of our readers, for at this time the
subjects involved are all-engrossing, and
keep themselves constantly before the
public mind. None can evade or hope
to escape the responsibility which must
attach to every citizen of New Jersey in
this crisis of our national affairs. Let
every Democrat meet it in the spirit of an
American freeman, worthy of his high
destiny.
Mr.. Holsman's resolutions take the
broad ground in favor of an armistice
and an amicable settlement of the nation
al difficulties through convention of all
the States. This proposal is based upon
the well-known and admitted facts of the
war, and the recognized impossibility of
conquering peace on any terms consis-
tent with the restoration of our copstitu-
tional form of government and the rights
of the people. The radical and unconsti-
tutional legislation and illegal executive
acts of the party in power, if continued,
will not only place a barrier upon all
hopes of bringing back the South, but
tend towards anarchy and revolution in
the North. The violation of the rights
of the States by the General Government
is destroying the last hope of the people
for reconstruction, and the blotting out
of State authority will leave the people
without any efficient means for protection
against domestic or foreign enemies.
The country can only be rescued from
its terrible position and the normal func-
tions of the people, who form the basis
and superstructure of the Government
restored, through the intervention of
State authority acting upon and infuen-
cling the thirty-four sovereign States
which formerly composed the United
States, and through the States and the
people reaching the Governments at
Washington and Richmond. In the in.
terests of the people of the whole coun-
try, and at their demand, this destructive
war must cease, and every obstacle to a
settlement which will restore the bles-
sings of peace and fraternal relations
must give way. This can only be effect
ed through an armistice and such ma
tional convention as could be held this
gear with decided success convention
embracing very large portion of the
country free and slave, if the project is
suitably indorsed by the Northern peo-
pie. At any rate these resolutions are
an entering wedge in behalf of peace,
and we cordially support them and urge
upon our Legislators the necessity of Civ
ing them fair and full consideration.

One Step Ahead.

One step ahead is financial ruin. The
expenses Of the government, publicly sta
ted in Congress by Mr.. Spaulding, mem
ber of the committee of ways and means,
is tpo millions Jfue hundred thousand dol
lars per day. To cover this, the Secretary
Of the Treasury is authorized to sell nine
hundred millions dollars ofinterest bearing
bonds at what they will bring in the mar
ket Allowing the moderate discount of
ten per cent, this will increase the daily
expenditures to upwards of three millions
cfdolzars per day which accumulates as
interest in one year the sum of S185, 900.
These amounts are SO gigantic that the
conception Of man cannot grasp them; and
yet we have not taken into consideration
the fact that between these amounts and
gold, in which they are to be paid, is the
wide gulf already of fifty per cent, with
every prospect ofits reaching one hundred
in two months. How long does the rea-
der suppose it win be before what was
said Of revolutionary times will be true of
us, "when creditors were seen running
away from their debtors, aud debtors pur-
suing them In triumph, and paying them
without mercy. Dubuque Herald.

Coming Events.

We clip the following from the Dayton
Daily Empire:
"Coming events cast their shadows be-
FORE" Gradually, yet surely and deter
minedly, the desperate men who now con-
troll the Government, are forwarding their
scheme Of centralizing the whole power of
the nation in the hands of the President.
States are to be robbed of their sovereign
ty, and be brought in abject subsegviency
at the feet of the General Government, by
force of arms if,need be. The first grand
object to the successful accomplishment of
this Infamous scheme is to secure the COM
plete control of the military forces of the
States In the States now under control
of Abolition Governors, this is already ac-
complished, as the Governors, are leaders
in the conspiracy. The only thing to be
accomplished, to make the scheme a sue
cess, is to secure control of militia in the
States under Democratic authority. The
attempt is now being made in New York.
If successful American liberty and .perso-
nal freedom are at an end in this country
There is no use shutting our eyes to these
unpleasant facts. They stare us boldly
in the face. Soon we will feel the iron
grasp of military despotism about our very
throats. And still we slumber. Have
we forgotten that "eternal vigilance is the
price Of liberty ?" Will we, like the fool
ish Trojans, be lulled into further insecu-
rity by the profered wooden horse" Of
the Administration Americans, your
liberties are in danger! 1t may be con-
sidered "treason'' to warn you Of it, but
we scorn the tyrant's power and sound the
tocsin of alarm. We are rapidly drifting
towards military despotisn. Quietly
fold your hands, if you will, and disregard
tie warning until it is too late, but sooner
or later, the fact will force itself upon you.
Under the false war-cry Of "Union," the
usurpers at Washington are forging the
chains that are to bind you to slayish
despotism. ~

The Depletion of the Army.

The Providence Post says that deser.
tions from Rhode Island regiments are
fearfully large, and that hundreds who
have deserted are employed in Confederate
workshops at high wages. 1t is said that
nearly whole brigade of Massachusetts
troops have lately deserted, and that many
of them are at work in the South. In
Kentucky and Tennessee the losses by
desertion run up largely into the thou
sands. No pay for months-thc sicken-
ing thought that their wives and children
may be suffering for bread-the ever-pres-
ent spectacle of the lazy negro clothed
and fed at government expense--the vas
cillating conduct of the administration
which, for political reasons deprives them
of competent and imposes upon them in
competent of6cers-these, with thousand
other reasons are the causes of the rapid
depletion of the Federal ranks.
We print elsewhere the account of
the mutiny of a whole regiment on ac-
count of the negro-freeing proclamation,
and of another from dissatisfactions with
officers In one Kentucky brigade nearly
every officer has resigned. The army Of
the Potomac is stuck in Virginia,mud, with
no prospect ahead but that of gloomy
winter to be spent idlyin camp. Add to
this the fact that in less than three months
the term of service of nearly 100000 men
will expire, with no volunteering to fll
their places; and no prospect that draft
will be submitted to. To such pass has
fanaticism and imbecility brought the
North. Conceived in wrath, and proseou-
ted in insincerity, this war has, with the
ruin of its projectors, we'll nig Oh worked
the ruin of the land And we who are
trying to<save few remnants from the
national wreck with which to build anew,
ARE denounced as traitors by the vile crew
who have fattened on the woes of their
country.

Negro soldiery.

Shout the victory--Sambo's coming
are about to succeed in the accomplish
ment of their favorite and long-cherishea
project-whether it will succeed, remains
for time to determine. Of course, our
opinion freely expressed is that, instead of
being of service and advantage to those for
whom it was intended, the measure will
disgust their own soldiers, fill the Confed-
crate ranks, increase the ardor of their
troops, and make them know aud feel that
what their leaders and their judgments
told them, is true.
We do not intend to discuss that part
of the subject; but this-will the Union
men of Maryland support government
that places a negro in the field upon equal
footing with white soldiers-alttough it is
attempted to hide its real effect? Will the
Union men Of Maryland consent to see set
unrestrained abroad in the land 100000
half.civilized negroes to murder hcl lpless
babes and defenceless women, to follow in
the wake Of large army and devastate
and destroy the fairest land the Good Bo:
ing has ever blessed-to outrage virginity
and pollute the sanctity of wife and
mother? This is the question-for we
have no idea of their ever being any SER
vice in pitched fight. Will the Union
men support them? Our opinion is that
many will not True there are some who
for the sake 'of plunder, Office and gain,
will still cling to the dishonored, tarnished
and waning fortunes of this once noble
Republic-but no htnorable-no honest
no Christian man can sanction a war
which bears the double fury of civil and
servile. A just God will not prosper such
a cause.
Those who pursue course of tyranny
and oppression should remember that
even the most insignificant creature has
been provided by an all.wise God with
some means of defence-and that inferior
as the South may be in point of num-
bers, means and resources-yet she is
not wanting in courage, spirit, forttude
and vigilance-f they forget, the affair
outside the harbor of Charleston on the
morning of the 31st of January will serve
to jog their memory.-Maayland Republ-
can.

blooms with a renewed splendor. Martha has
gone to that spirit land where angels. surround
the throne and kindred spirits gladly bid her
welcome home. Weep not, Mother, for the

with Jesus, where her spirit knows no care
sickness, sorrow, pain and death there are felt
and feared no more. ]. W. H.

REPORT
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS.
To the Honorable Commissioners
For Hartford County :

l W AANf|V0 OOeefo0J
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS have been in
j. operation the whole of the past year,
except the month Of August. But we
found from the reports of school accounts
presented to the Board, that the attendance
during the month of July was small, and
we have adopted an order, one of the new
rules and regulations published for the
tgovernment of the schools, that hereafter
the schools would be suspended during
the months of July and August.
The amount levied for the use of the
Public Schools and received from the
Stale, we think will support the schools,
if judiciously managed, for ten months of
the year, which we believe to be as long
time in the year as the public wants de-
mand, or they would be well attended.
The unhappy state of our nation, caus-
ing strong feelings in our citizens, and
they viewing cause and effect in different
light, has in some few locations disturbed
the peace, harmony and prosperity of the
schools. Some have declined to send
their children to school, because the teach
er did not entertain the same feelings and
views respecting our national troubles that
they did, and others have sent pretty regu-
larlythat were careless about sending here
tofore. This disturbance where it does ex-
ist, is not caused by any action Of the
Board, for the Board has been very care
full to pursue a course not to excite the
public feelings, wishing all to have the
benefit of the schools, not asking teach
er what his political views were, or ap-
pointing any one because he held particu-
lar opinions. But if we find, or it is sat-
islactorily reported to us, that any one
appointed or having charge of public
school is unduly meddling him Or herself
with our national affairs, in such manner
as to interfere with the prosperity of the
school, we feel it our duty to dismiss
such one from the charge of school.
During the quarter ending 28th Febru-
ary,. there were seventy-four schools
taught, attended by 1878 paying scholars,
at the rate of 81 per quarter, and 176 free.
During the quarter ending the 3lst Of
May, there were seventy-:hree schools,
attended by 1915 scholars paying at the
rate of 81 per quarter, and 1876 free.
During the quarter ending 3lst July,
there weresixty-6ve schools, attended by
1888 scholars paying at the rate Of ST.
per quarter, and Il2 free.
During the quarter ending 3Oth De-
cember, there were n schools, attended by
l,79S scholars paying at the rate of ST.
