The efforts IS suppress the shipment
liquors southwark, as contraband of war,
seem to us peculiarly absurd. There is no
doubt that the use of intoxicating drinks
by officers and men is prejudicial to any
military service, though they might some
times prove of great advantage to the other
side. Money paid for such articles certainly
exhausts the resources of country, without
the least compromising benefit. 1t would
seem, therefore, that all the whisksy, bran
dy and wine We can sell to the rebels, and
get the money for, would conduce to their
injury and our advantage, as much, at least,
as Greek fire, or contraband soldiers.

courage of the people. to the futures hope
of liberty and order, to his own name in
history, and to religion whose sanctions he
has SO often invoked, the President owes it
to make the hour of victory for the Union
the hour of amnesty for those who have
striven in vain to destroy it,
1t may be that the magn animous offer
will be repulsed. But the offer itself will
be new victory. 1t will renew the spirit

opportunity Of learning something OF the
merits of che difficulty which has led to the
suspension of exchanges, though there must

be ashamed at the two-penny charges and

A SHOT AT STANTON.
The press, of all shades complains loudly
of the contemptuous disregard of popular
sentiment exhibited by the War Depart.
ment, in its failure to publish the
data upon which the draft is to be made
in the different States. Well, what
of it? Who cannot see that it is the OBJ
ject of Stanton, as a principal agent of the
Revolutionary cabal that are moving al
their powers to degrade us from free PEG
pie to become their slaves, that he omits
no opportunity to instil into the popular
minds the idea of the responsibility on the
part of the Executive branch of the Gov
eminent? What cares Stanton for the pop
ular sense of fairness? Let the people bow
their nscks, says he, and ask no questions
but render up their blood and money at thu
beck of us, their masters. The souereig,

PRoDIGAL SONS RETURNING.

A pretty distinct indication of the declin.
ing state of Southern affairs, is the return to
Washington of Walter Lenox, once Mayor
of this city, and of Captain Schefer, the
Commander of the National Guards, mill
tary company in the Breckenridge interest
who behaved with great violence and dis
order Immediately on the conclusion of the
last Presidential election. 1t is thought
that whisky must be getting scarce and
bad in Richmond, for, than, the two gentle
men above named there are few better judg
es of our national beverage. Lenox and
Shaffer left Washington early in 1861, and
were amongst the loudest aiders and abet-
tors of the attempted disruption of the
Union. If they, like the prodigal son,
have become Disguised with secession husks
and seen the error of their way, we will
not refuse to accept them; but it is to be

THE LONDON TIMEs AND THE SCRIPTCGAL VIEW OF SLAvEEY.-In an editorial of the Lou- don Tines" commenting on the share Mess CTS. Beccher, Checver, Tyng, and others, have taken in this war, the following paragraph oc-' CUTS:
 These gentlemen preach not for an infallble or an established church, for no such church has yet veptured to be as dogmatic and positive on this point they are. They preach with the Bible in their hands. In that book there IS not one single text that car be perverted to prove slavery unlawful, though there IS mnch which naturally tends to its mitigation, it's ele vation, and its final extinction. In the New Testament we have cpiStle written by the man who represents the last revea ed phase and development of the Gospel, sent by the hand ot g runaway slave, who had sought refuge with the writer, to his lawful master, to the purport that the master and his slave were to get on bet ter and do their duty to one smother more thor oaghly for the future. The same writer tells his recent converts that if they are slaves they must make the best of that condition, aud not try to escape it. at least by any means contra- ry to the laws of the country. The only poSsl> bic doubt about the exact meaning ot hls ad- >vice i3, whether the slaves are to refuse thelr liberty, even if 1t be offered, or whether they are merely to remain true to ttoIr masters, even if chance presents the opportunity ot escape The context, which says that q faithful and du- tful christian slave becomes the freedman of h;s Heavenly Master, clearly proves that slave who refuses the offer of freedom has high Scriptur4i argument for his choice. If it be said that slavery Is at variance with the spirit of the Gospel, 80 also good many things which are not yet laid under tue ban of aboll- ton or threatened with the :" war power. V Sumptuous fare, purple and fine linen, wealth, ecclesiastical titles, unmarried clergy, good clerical incomes and many other things are contrary to the spirit of the Gospel, or, at least can be proved so as easily as slavery, But the Roman Catholics have just as much to say for any one of their peculiar doctrines as the abo- litionists have for their one article of 9 stand- ing or falling community. Whether the Con- federates nave done right to throw of the Union is a distinct question. but they cannot have a better defence than proclamation of war to the knife, solemn invocation of the "war pow err against every slave owner who still claims the duty of his slaves.

 Sir: Having experienced the bane of an invad- ing army, deem it important that those Of my fellow citizens who live at a distance from their influences and effects, should be perseveringly re- minded of what they may expect should the federal army any portion of it cross their thresh- hold.
 The expedition that came up here few days after the fall of the Post of Arkansas, consisted of four gunboats, thirty-six transports and about 2O,O0O infantry and cavalry and artillery. Find ing no troops here they vented their spleen by burning houses and destroying property lndlscrlml natey; also by stealing negroes, horses and muleo The first thing burned was the steam SAW and griH mill of V. A. Marquis; the destruction of which has put the people of the neighborhood to great trouble in order to get meal for bread. There was about 30 houses destroyed--many of them belong ing to widows and orphans. They are new lett houseless and homeless.
 In some instances above here on White river, l was informed by some of their own officers that they had turned women and children out of their houses without mouthtul of provisions or any clothes, except what was on them at the tlme and put the torch to their houses, leaving them to per ish by cold and hunger should they not be able to reach some friendly roof to shelter and feed them They have shot down our cattle and hogs indis- criminately wherever they come to them, ana when too poor for beef left them laying It. had one good effect, however, it has confirmed many that were undetermined, or rather that were crying out against the Confederate troops and thelr depreda- tions.
 have no doubt that should necessity arise for it, that several companies of old men could now be raised as volunteers to so into the army, when before the Yankees came up here, there could not have been one full company of voluntet rs gotten. l find men who formerly would speak of these Tan kees as they were gentlemen, now curee and abuse them for every thing degrading they can thnk of Let those who have never had them among them, desire to keep them away from their homes, and to do this they must act boldly and speedily.
