US a favorable account Of matters ana
things II that State. The condition OF
the army, physically and morally, was

and exuberant spirits, and anxious to re-

course our informant could not speak de.

The crops arc bonntiful, and if not des.
troyed BY the sccident of war, will give
the people great abundance Of supplies.

Shrlbyvlle, between and 8 o'clock that

that place, by Gen. Bragg's orders. There
was some excitement, but not much of q

any kind. AT one point, as he passed a
Kentucky regiment, he was loudly called
on for speech, bps bs declined, saying
his lips were sealed. Some thought he
would be lionized, while others took the

The "PECuLMR INSTITUTION Here's the
way Mccarthy of the Sonora Flag "a Mississp
pian) comes back at the 'copperheads who talk
of negro equality;
Let us now take glance at this "n negro equal
ity +" question from another .nnint of yjew.. l4et
modern Democracy Away down South, Ia DIX
ie." Was it the principles of the Republican
party that has caused such an equality " be
tween the blacks aud whites in that section oil
the country, that it is almost impossible to tnd II
pure negro in whole county Or was IL the
lust aud degradation Of the very men who op
posing the placing of the negro on an equal
footing with the human being, that has so in
termnged the blood of the races, that 1t has be
come necessary to examine men's heads with n
microscope in our Courts of Justice in order to
tell whelder they are the children of chattcls or
human beings? What honest man, possessing
heart capable of feeling the better attributes OF
our nature can fail TO desire TO see the abolish
ment of a system that involves such and so many
degrading incidents as slavery? Can any crea
ture be "a man, in all the fullness and nobleness
of his nature and seek to extend an institution
that encourages incest and the most brutal lust,
that authorizes the father to sell his daughter,
the brother his sister, to life but one remove
from the brute? And this too, not because they
are black, swarthy or ignorant, but refined, intel
ligcnt beautiful, white women, whose fathers,
had elevated their mothers, their slaves, on equal
ity with themselves We dare not touch upon
the irightful chapter of horrors involved in the
institution OF slavery. 1t is disgrace to the IN
teligence of the people to suppose that such
horrors cannot be abolished without causing a
lowering of the standard of the public morals

THE Mariposa Free Press, a Secesh Journal
having expressed its opposition to the policy OF
putting arms in the hands of negroes to fight for
the Union, the Pacific appeal, "devoted 70 the
interests of the people of color" quotes the
article and lectures its Mariposa " broGer y
thus:
8" The writer of the above evidently enterlains
no objection to JEFF. Davis policy of using negro
soldiers to shoot down Union troops. There is
class of men, composed of such as the writer
of the above article, who would rather permit
the Confederate army, with its Slaves, to destroy
the Federal Government, than that loyal free
colored men should be brought to the rescue of
their country in its greatest peril If our white
friend Of the Free Press had the courage to vol
unteer in defense of the Federal Government,
and was at the seat of war; we have not the least
doubt that he would be fully cured of this
serious negrophobia. He would fud that Davis
and his Confederates entertain no such preju-
dces; that it is of but little consequence to them
who the guns are manned by for The destruction
of the Union army, whether whites or blacks
When will such men get their eyes open to the
true interests of the country? Truly, slavery
debases white men. The above article is but the
effect of its debasing influences"
Weekly Trinity journal., 1863-03-07

TKuE PATRIoTsM--Wrighta Democratic mem
ber of Congress from Pennsylvania, talks to the
modern Democracy in the following patriotic
style:
| "Great God is it to be supposed that because
a campaign has not come up to public expecta-
! zion, we must lay down our arms and sue to
traitors, like spaniels. for peace. AS God lives
there shall be day of reckoning, The mau who
is on the side of his country and on the side OF
/ liberty now, his name aud reputation shall live
/ forever, and that man who says, Down with
| your arms, and let the enemy prosper and take
! possession of your capital shall have reputa-
! ton and memory as Infamous and damnable as
that of the Cowboys of the Revolution"
Senator Wright, of Indiana, another patriotic
Democrat, talks to them in the same manner, as
follows:
"To those who seem to be very solictous to
perpetuate slavery, l would say that they had
better take the advice of distinguished Demo
cratic General of Illinois, who urged his Demo-
cratic brethren to enlist quickly and go into the
war, because if the war continued there would
be few slaves left. He thought if the war was
vigorously prosecuted and soon terminated,
few stumps Of negroes might be left in the ooun-
try. 1t is very remarkable, sir, that men who
hurrah for the Union should stand by the way
side and attempt to prejudice our people against
the exercise of the war power, seek to destroy
the very element of the strength of those who
desire to rend the Union assunder-I mean
slavery. Napoleon and his Generals Of past
years surveyed the whole strength of the enemy
not merely the number of men In arms, their
heavy artillery, their cavaly force, the bravery
of the troops and the skill of their commanders,
but the numbers and the resources at home to re-
intorce and sustain the army in the field and
they struck the enemy heavily where they could
most efectually cripple him. This is the policy
of the President, clearly and forcby stated. He
has announced his paramount object to be TO save
the Union, and not to Interfere with slavery. II
he could save the Union without interfering with
slavery, he has avowed his readiness to do 50
but If there were no other means to accomplish
that essential object than by the destruction OF
slavery, be it SO let slavery be destroyed. 1t
is the will OF the people that the Union shall be
preserved, aud the executive authority must re-
sort to the requisite means Call it what you
may, apply any appelation that your fancy may
suggest-be it Invasion, conquest, suhugatlon,
Aboltionism-if no other resource be left to
preserve the life of the nation, the rebellion
must be crushed by fire and the sword, by the
faggot and death and destruction"

BEFORE AND AFTER.-Before the election, The
New York Herald followed by all the secesh
press in the State, howled fearfully about 20 many
Democrats being arrested for political reasons
Ayier the election however, when lying Is OF no

1t now appears that many OF Tue arrests made
in this city some months ago without apparent
cause, and which were attributable 10 po'l'ica
causes aud the rise of military despotlsn' had
their origin in the frauds now being brought 10
