The Life of n JOUrn;eIist.

hC AilC Ol IL tDOUfnGklSt.
We frequently hear people express desire
to belong to the fraternity. They little know
the annoyance of editorial life, or such u wish
would not go forth. If paper, SAYS friend
in the streets, has too much editorial or too
much literary matter in it, nobody wants it.
1t the types are small, they are unable TO read
It, If large, we want to economsc. five pub
llsh the telegraph reports, people say they arc
nothing but batch of lies; and FIVE don't pub
iish them, they declare we arc not able to pay
for reports. If an occasional joke finds it's way
Into our columns, we arc dubbed rattlehcad;
and II none appear, VIC arc declared an old
fossil. If we publish great deal of editorial
they say that is easily done; that the evidence
OF good editor is in selections If we scissor
great deal, we arc cursed for not giving them
what has not appeared in some other paper
"A complimentary notice appears, and VIC arc
called partial; and if none is written, we are
styled selfish hog. If We occasionally pub
lish something to please the car of young ladies,
or tickle the fancy of young misses, men damn
the paper for printing such "trash" and if
nothing is given for the ladies, the paper is not
tit to have in the house. If VIC attend church
it is to cover our Hypocrisy and we fail to 90,
VIC arc condemned for not practising what we
preach. If we commend any act of the Gov
crnment, men declare we dare not speak 9TH
crwisc; and if we GO sec fit to sometimes find
fault, there is class to call us a traitor. five
denouncc General for want of capacity, we
arc impairing confidence; and if VIC make no
mention Of him and he commits an error, we
ought to have let the world know before hand
that he was not the Fright man in the right
place" We cannot remain in our office t. at
tend to oug business, without remarks being
made about lack Of sociabiIity; and if we DO
mingle with our fellows, they can't see how we
attend to business. These are only few @,
the ahnoyances Of editorial life, but they are
sufficient to satisfy any one that it is not such
an cnvlablc life after ALL Mississppian.

The Louisville Journal-an intensely
Conservative and Pro Slavery but not ex.
actly pro.Rebel sheet--thus tartly rebukes
the more reckless Copperheads
"We look at the columns of the Pbila.
delphia Evening journal; we read the
speeches of Peace faotionists and the reso.
lutions of their meetings, and while they
have no word of commentator or encour-
agem ent for those who are engaged in fight.
ing the battles, of this war for the preserva-
tion of the Union, we find that they are
equally and most significantly silent in con-
demnation and execration of the Rebellion
and of those who are endeavoring TO over
throw the Government. When such men
propose an armistice, we can see but little
difference between them and Rebels in arms
the former would destroy the country by
cunning strategy, and the latter by open
assault. The patriotic Democracy, to which
we turn with hope and encouragement in
these terrible trials, is firmly in favor of sus-
tanning the Government in all these meas
ures which it deems indispensably necessary
to secure peace by putting down the Re.
belliOn, and the more steadily and resolute.
ly it adheres to this policy, the more ex-
tended will be the scope Of its usefulness,
and the more brilliant the successes which
it must achieve before the people,"

A Fearful Record,

An army officer writes from Louisiana to
the Boston Transcript that the camps OF
the Black regiments in Gen. Banks army
are models of neatncss and order, and that
but one man in the whole command has
been punished for misconduct. Never were
men seen to fight with more dauntless cour-
age and devotion than these raw recruits. :
He adds:
Every man presenting himself to be re-
cruited strips to the skin, to be surveyed by
the surgeon. We do not accept one. half
that offer. On Tuesday, out of eighty two,
only thirty-three were accepted. l have
directed my surgeons to keep accurate lists
Of the causes Of rejection They report to
nae that not one in fifteen is free from marks
of severe lashing. Moro than one-half are
rejected because of disability arising from
lashing with whips and the biting of dogs
on their calves and thighs. 1t is frigbtful.
Hundreds of them have welts on their backs
as large as one of your largest fingers
intend to have these memoranda collected
and published with certificates of surgeons.

MR.. LINooLN's REPLY.
EXECUTIVE MANSION,

WASHINGTON, June IL, 1858.
Hon. Erastus Corning and others: Gen.
tlemen: Your letter of May l9, enclosing
the resolutions of public meeting held al
Albany, New York, on the 10th ofthe same
month, was received several days ago.
The resolutions, as understand them,
are resolvable into two propositions-frst,
the expression of purpose to sustain the
cause Of the Union, to secure peace through
victory, and.to support the administration in
every constitutional and lawful measure to
suppress the rebellion and secondly, dec
laration OF censure upon the administration
for supposed unconstitutional action, such
as the making Of military arrests. And,
from the two propositions, third is dedu-
ced, which is, that the gentlemen compos.
ing the meeting are resolved on doing their
par. to maintain our common government
and country, despite the tsly or wickedness,
as they may conceive, of any administra-
ton. This position is eminently patriotic,
and as such, thank the meeting, and con-
gratulate the nation for it. My own pur-
pose is the same; SO that the meeting and
myself have common object, and can have
no difference, except in the choice Of means
or measures for effecting that object
And here ought to close this paper, and
would close it, If there were no apprehen-
sion that more injurious consequences than
any merely personal to myself might follow
the censures systematically cast upon me
for doing what, in my view Of duty, could
not forbear. The resolutions promise to
support me in every constitutional and law
full measure to suppress the rebellion; and |
have not knowingly employed, nor shall
knowingly employ, any other. But the
que that certain military arrests, and pro.
ceedings following them, for which l am ul-
timately responsible, are unconstitutional.
l think they are not. The resolutions quote
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1863-07-02

the Copperheads Of the other States farther
West may continue their nefarious prac.
tees. Let them do so, If they think it safe,
looking even to the events close at hand
But little time will elapse now, before the
patriotic legions of General Grants army
will--some Of them at least-with such un-
compromising haters of treason as General
Logan at their head, be at home, aud then
we look for admonitions such as will not be
disregarded
With the brave soldiers from Ohio too,
all the patriotic Of the land are beginning
to entertain feelings of loathing and disgust
against these ''home traitors" such as can
hardly be paralleled when we think of those
openly in arms. Cowards, brawlers, mere
gabblers, because they deem it their safer
course, there is nothing whatever to respect
in them; and the time is close at hand when,
North and South, they will be looked upon
as political pariahs, outcasts, whose very
touch is pollution. All men respect an open
enemy; but what shall be said of those who
take advantage of the forbearance of pa
ternal Government, to live under its pro-
lection and yet seek to stab it to the heart?

PERsoNAL.-Tbe marriage of our old friend
I'M. Goewey, Esq, late of Douglas City, will be
noticed elsewhere in our columns. The friends
Of the Judge had splendid time parting with
their late bachelor associate. Several carriages
left WeavervilIe on Wednesday evening in order
TO be on hand at the wedding early on Thursday
morning Many of the citizens Of Douglas City
were also present to congratulate the Judge and
his accomplished bride. After the ceremony the
company present partook most bountifully of the
proiusion of cake and wine of the choicest quail
ity. The happy couple, escorted by the whole
c,mpany, left Tor Douglas City, where it seemed
the ladies and gentlemen were anxiously waiting
20 bestow their congratulations upon the bride
and bridegroom. After enjoying the warm
greeting of the people of the city and returning
the reluctant farewell, all accompanied the bridal
party to Cochranvlle at which place nice lunch
was enjoyed. The friends of the Judge and bis
bride bid them a good bye and hoped for the un-
interrupted enjoyment of their bridal tour
Capt. John II. Hough and lady left also to ac-
company the newly married to the Bluffs This
Office was not forgotten by our old friend. The
ct ceteras caused an unusual amount of stops u
amongst the typos, eciting the declaration in
the most earnest manner that " matrimony is the
crowning act of glory in mans life" In re-
turning thanks for those instances of kindness
we wish our young friends pleasant aud pros
p'rous voyage through life, hoping that no cloud
may ever pass between the hearts fond love and
the cheerful fireside.

THE GLASS BLowERs.-Th Troupe have given
two exhibitions at the Theater this week-the
one last evening we were glad to notice was well
attended. This is probably the most instructive
and satisfactory entertainment our citizens have
ever bad opportunity to witness, and as they
only remain here this (Friday) evening, every
person who can possibly do so should attend.
The admission fee is reasonable, when we con.
sder the instruction and qualification afforded
for one dollar. Go to the Tbeater tonight you
may never have an opportunity to see the Glass
Blowers again. Saturday evening they give an
entertainment at Douglas City, and Sunday even
Ing at Feter's. Oregon Gucb. They will ex-
hibiI at Mnersville and Trinity Center during
the early part Of next week, and we advise the
citizens of those points to see them by all means.
