Views of Gen. Sickles.

In recen, speech at New York, the
brave Gen. Sickles formerly . radical
Democracy said of Pres Lincoln, "be
whom the burden has most beut, has
never faltered iu heart or purpose. Crap
pling With questions more difficult and
delicate than ever before tried, be has SO
borne himself that every loyal heart
acknowledges the candor, ability and tact
which signal,ze our FIRST Magistrate.
"The surest way to peace is to forsify
the Government with public opinion.
The worst foe Of the army, the real oppo-
neus Of peace, is he who BY delay or act
binders the re-iufOrcemen,s. BY ell
means, lie, there be volunteers. Another
grand uprising of the North, like that
which followed Sumpter, would carry dis.
may to the Southern Cabinet and camp.
"This war will snnihilsts any leader,

Voluntary Offerings.

The women Of the AID Society would
tbsnk the friends of the wounded and sick
soldiers, for the contributions to their
fund, remaining unpaid, promised at the
recent celebration.
How cheering is sympathy in . good
work, and the evidence of it, in . gener-
Gus gift Wbea Cur own hearts are
throbbing with interest for our suffering
soldiers, and our willing hands are work
ing for them, bow delightful to feel that
other hearts beat responsive to our own,
and that those Who can not sew or prepare
delicacies for the sick, are yet willing and
happy to contribute Of their money to this
good csusel The volustary Offering is
twice blessed-"blesse him that gives and
him that takes" This is the way to
contribute from . full heart, and "the
Lord loveth cheerful giver."
Any one Who desires information as to
the Society with which We cooperate, the
U. s. Sanitary Commission, can obtain
documents Of the Associate manager, Mrs.
Il. S. Dickson. The Commission, like oil
earthly things, must have its iuperfec-
tions, but to our mind it comes near re-
aliz,,ion Of perfect good will to man, and
is conducted, in oil it affairs, with most
remarkable wisdom and economy.

The Presidents Views.

In reply to resolutions Of the West New
Jersey Baptist Association, Pres. Lincoln
directs SEQ. Seward to write
"You may be we'll assured that, so far
ss it belongs to hiu, no vigcr and no per-
severance sbsll be wanting to suppress the
existing insurreo,ion, and to preserve and
MAINTAIN the Cuion Of tba States aud the
integrity Of the country. You may further
rest assured that the President is looking
for . restoration Of peace on no other
basis than that of the unconditional acqui-
e.ceuce, BY the people Of all the States, ip
the constitutional authority Of the Federal
Government.
"The President is moreover especially
sensible Of the wisdom of your counseis 10
recommending the cultivation, by the gov
erument ,nd people Of the United States,
Of . spirit Of meekness, humiliation, and
dependence on Almighty God, as an iudis-
peusabls condition Of obtaining that divine

wisdom aud all human power, tho directed
to the wisest aud most benevolent eud-, are
unavsiling. In time Of danger like This,

Invaluable Auxiliaries.

i, has been remarked, that, in this
contest for the life Of the Nation,
nearly if not quite all of the religious
papers in the Free States have stood
up for the Administration. In other
words, they have sustained the Gov.
ernmcnt, as represented by its consti-
tuted authorities. The same may be
said of the literary, agricultural, pro-
fessional, mechanical, commercial and
miscellaneous journals in general.
They take this course, not as "politi-
clans" in the ordinary, partizan use
of that word, but as personal and
common duty TO good government,
and for the highest interests of man.
kind. They regard our heaven-be-
slowed institutions as only "a terror
to evildosrs, but a praise to them
that do well.n In this, these journals
truly represent the views of the great
mass of their readers. They reflect
the sentiments of religious people
generally, and of all those not partic-
ularly interested in partizan warfare.
Many of this class, heretofore, have
not even voted, but have given up,
wholly, into the hands of mere selfish
politicians, their voice in directing
State and National affairs, SO that
they are now bitterly assailed for the
exercise Of that natural and consti-
tutional right!
The National Benevolent Societies
arc also proving themselves important
auxiliaries Of the Government. Not
strictly religious, yet they are compo-
sed OF like honest, materials. |
The Masonic, the Odd Fellows, and |
the Sons Of Temperance organiza.
tions, take open, decided ground for
sustaining the Government.
In these two classes of selfsacrif- !
cling, sincere, intelligent, and unam-
bilious upholders, we believe our
Government may rely for ultimate
triumph, even while many respectable,
well meaning citizens, are led astray
by falsehoods, prejudice, and acciden- /
tai circumstances, into practical hos
tility to their best earthly friend.

The Crime Of Speculation.

The Harrisburg Telegraph has
some just and forcible comments up
on the conduct of men of great
wealth, wholesalers, in the chief
cities, who combine to buy up most
articles of prime necessity, and then
demand exorbitant prices for the
same from retailers. The War is
not the CAUSE of much Of our advan-
ced rates it is merely an EXCUSE or
PRETENCE for it. on the part of cAtor-
tioners, most of them Rebel sympa.
thizcrs ut heart. The real cause is
the greedy. ungodly desire for gain
which animates too many men, whose
hearts seem TO grow harder by sue
cess, and "the more they have the
more they want"
These evils can not be cured by
law. ECoNoMY. or ENTIRE ABSTINENCE
on THE FART OF CONSUMERS. Is THE
CHIEF REMEDY. Many of these spec.
ulators will break down. and their
families become beggars, and few
will mourn for the men who suffer
what they needlessly inflicted on 9th
crs.
Take printing paper, for example.
Our great southern market for paper
being all cut of, and fewer books
printed than before, paper should
naturally be cheaper rather than
dearer. But spectators raised it, in
some cases. to double former prices.
Our paper for the STAR d CHRONICLE
rose from 81 per week, TO slls or
sl2, but is now down to 50. Here
has been loss on paper, to Us, Of
500, which we have borne ourselves,
entirely, without any increase in the
price Of our paper, or reduction of
its quality ; whether we can endure
to bear all the loss another year, is
questionable.
There have been corresponding
advances in most kinds of goods, and
in some wages, but not in all. Per
sons living on stated salaries, or with
fixed incomes, and most sorts Of work
men and workwomen, have not yet
increased their means OF livelihood,
even while its expenses have in
creased. They deserve to be aided,
and their circumstances taken into
consideration 10y all good citizens who
can ease their lot.
While Farmers, Manufacturers and
Merchants generally have advanced
on their products and wares beyond
the tariffs and taxes, Teachers, Cler-
gymen, and Mechanics and unski!Ied
Laborers in general, (altho' specially
subject to the grievance of the high
rates for necessarics) have not thus
their means.
Many need to learn to do without
luxurics and supcrhuities, and the
must haves" Of a family are found
not to be essential. Studying econo-
my in food and dress, wasting moth
ing in useless or injurious habits,
and mutual forbearance,
should enable US to brave through,
until Rebels and Forestallcrs-bolh
sorts OF domestic foes-shall 60 to
