A leading cOpperhesd, or conservative
journal, addressing an antislAvery an
asks:
"Does Mr.. Cooper understand upon
what basis he holds bis life, his personal
liberty, his right to domestic epjoyments,
his property? He holds all these be-
cause the law guarantees them to him,
and without that law he would be at the
mercy of any ruffian stronger than him
self. The Southern man holds his slave
by the same right.
There are several great mistakes in
this. Property in things is a matter Of
right which exists prior TO law; but
prope'ty'in human beings, if we may be al
lowed to use the monstrous and revolving
expression, is q matter Of force altogether,
just as much as highway robbery or
piracy. Piracy used to be sanctioned by
the laws Of the Moors and Algerines !;
but that did not make piracy rightful
and honorable calling, like ordinary
uaAhO' NV huh@h Ia" CAh mAhe prop
eIty out of violation Of natural right.
1t might as we'll be said that law can
make murder, theft robbery and per-
jury legitimate callings Suppose law
should be passed OF dering Brown to work
for Thompson, and get nothing for his
labor, would Brown be disposed TO ac-
knowledge the validity of the law?

Our readers may be aware that Daniel
Webster was not 80 careful in his pecu-
MARY matters 40 some men, and this fault
was at times taken advantage Of. AZ
one time poor man sawed a pile Of wood
for him, and having presented his bill, IL
was promptly paid by Mr.. Webster.
The laborer took sick during the winter,
aud nsighbor advised him TO call upon
Mr. Webster for the payment of his bill.
"But he has paid me," said the man.
"No matter" replied his dishonest Ad-
Aiser, "call again with it, He dou't
know, and don't mind what he pays. II
is a very common tLing for him TO pay
much smaller bills over twice"
The man got we'll and carried in his
account the second time. Mr.. Webster
looked at il, looked at the man, remem-
bered him, but paid the bill without de-
murring. The fellow got "shorp some
three or four months afterwArd, and be-
thought him of the generosity and loose
manner OF Me-. Webster in his money
matters; and a third time called and
presented the bill for saving the wood.
Mr. Webster took tue account which he
mmediately recognized, aud, scanning
the wOodsAwyer a moment, he said
How do you keep your books, sir?"
Il keep no books" said tho man, abb
ashed. sgff
Il think you do, sir" continued Mr..
Webster, with marked emphasis, "And
you excel those who are satisfied with
the double entry system. You keep your
books upoI ahiple. entry plan, observe"
Tearing up tho account, Mr. Webster
added go, sir, and be honest here
after. have no hesitation 10 paying
these little bills over twice, but oaunot
pay three times, You may retire" The
man left the room, feeling as though he
was suilocating for want Of air. lie had
learned a lesson that lasted through life.

Judge Woodard is the candidate of
the Constitudon-as-it-is-p party in Penn
sylvania for Governor aud is much ad-
mired by the Conservatives. Listen to
what this Constitution worshipper said
in a speech made iu Philadelphia De-
csmber 49, 1860:
"The tradition Of the elders fingered
in the generations which Immediately
succeeded the adoption of the Oonstitu
tion; and their passion for freedom, just
as strong as ours, was chssteBed into
loyalty to the Union, and veneratien for
the rights of the States. The Constitu-
tion which was strong enough to govern
such men, IS TO l0eak 10 restain as, tOhO haze
outgrolOn the grave and moderate l0isdon that
excited no i,Yepressible conflicts betiOeen breth.
rem, 6sa taught them TO d,0ell together in unity.
IaOJuld make it strong enough to restrain tie
madness ofour day."
Indeed Strange words to come from
the lips of "CODstitution- as- it-is" man.
In 1860 he says 1.-The Constitution is too
weak" and he wants to make il "strong
enough to restrain the madness of the
day" The people have Too much freedom
the government is too democratic, and
the Constitution must be amended so as
to stop the mouths of fellows who desire
to discuss slavery. No doubt Judge
Woodward is to-day in favor Of amend
ing the Constitution so as to perpetuate
slavery.

Daring Feat OF Two Drumm er Boys.
The New Haven Palladium narrates
the following:
Two drummer boys of the Tenth Con-
necticut Volunteers, while off duty, and
while Gilmore was pounding Fort Wag-
ner, determined to discover the effect
made upon the fort, borrowed an opera
glass and went out a distance from camp
to obtain favorable site to witness Ope-
rAtions They had proceeded about three
quarters of mile when they came sudden
ly upon burly rebel, who, upon sight of
them, snapped his gun at them, which did
not explode, the piece not being capped.
One of the boys at that moment thrust
ing the glass into the case which hung by
his side, the rebel thought he was draw
a revolver, and Immediately threw down
his gun crying out 81 surrender" The
boys Immediately sprang forward seiz-
ing his gun, and at a charge bayonet
drove the big fellow into camp. When
ho discovered that the only appearance
of weapon in the boys possession was
an opera glass he was much incensed
declaring he could not be held as pris
oner OF war. This feat was witnessed
by Colonel Otis, who was much pleased
with the intrepid conduct of the boys.

A man named K,logg was hung at
Richmond on the 25'h uIt., on a charge
OF being a spy in the service Of the U
s. Government. The Richmond Enqui-
rer says he had previously confessed his
guilt, saying that during the rebel occu-
patton of Islsnd No. 10, he had hired
himself a. a Confederate engineer for
the purpose of giving information % tae
national Government, and was satisfied
that though at last detected, he had fur
nished more valuable information for his
employers than any other ten men. A.
his execution he behaved with great
coolness On his way 10 the scaliold he
conYersed cheerfully with his attend
ants. His only anxiety seemed TO be TO
have the rope so arranged that it might
break his neck at the first fall. His
wish was grahhed, for he was dead in
less than a minute after the rope FELL
He gave the signal for his being swung
off, in a loud, clear voice, aud in all re-
spects behaved himself in a firn and
dignifed manner.

The latest estimate of the available
forces of the rebels is as follows


BY dragging in the lame, the halt, aud
very old men and very young boys, un-
der the operations If the rebel conscrip-
tion law this number may be increased
but the figures above are believed to in
clude all the tried soldiers now available
for severe service in the Oonfederacy, east
of the Mississippi river Bragg, in the
battle of Chicamauga, had probably co.
600 men, including the raw militia pres
sed in from Georgia; but at least 3d.
600 of this army have melted away,
either by the casualties of battle or des
ertion. Lee in his invasion of Pennsyl-
vania, crossed the Potomac with 10000
men, and he returned with. 10000. The
number that deserted was equal to the
number killed, wounded aud taken pris-
oneTs IL is now in the power of the
United States to organize two armies OF
10000 each; one under Rosecrans and
the other under Meade. If this should
be done, and a simultaneous movement
be made, the work of crushing the rebel
lion would soon be effected. IL is man
ifest that the rebels are now in the most
critical position they have occupied since
the beginning OF the war, and the hand
of the Government is nearer TO the throat
of the rebellion than at any former pc
riOd. II is not necessary just now TO
give much attention to the trans Missis-
sippi rebels. Let all our energies be di-
rected against the forces east of the Mis-
sissippi, and in concentrated columns we
can move forward, sweeping before us
and scattering into fragments, oil that
