A Note of

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Sunday Mercury gives the following warn
ing: 49, SD
The most important revelation noticeable here
is the practice of our abolition President TO ride
through the streets protected by a mounted guard.
Time was when our Presidents walked the ave
nues like any other men. and freely commingled
with their fellow citizens Now regal state is
assumed. and Mr.. Lincoln's cowardice. fright
ened out OF all p~rGpriety by the cry of treason.
which his ~partisans afix TO the name of
Democracy, degrades him into the vileness of
lurching through the streets. if he ever ventures
out alone, or e~ncircles himself with q squadron
of cavalry to guard his precious person from sus-
spected assassins.
Some astute observers maintain that this row
ardice is merely a pretense TO justify the assnmp
ton of the parsphernalia of royalty. to cover the
designs Of some ambitious %aspiraI't. now conceal
ed by the drapery Of the throne, who
may hereafter use the army for pur
poses which may be utterly destructive of
our liberties. In fact the present incumbent
of the Presidency employs the troops for noue of
the purposes for which the people so generously
and cheerfully raised il. He marches il forth to
fight for the Liberation of the negro, sends de-
tachments to control elections. or orders a whole
division to compel conscription of = new army,
when, disguised with his insincerity. the people
refuse to volunteer These uses of the army look
ominous. and we need no magic glass to foreshad
ow TO US that we are fast travelling to centraliza-
ton and despotism Our people remain blindly
impassive. apparently blind to passing events:
but be it remembered that Cesar, when he passed
the RubicoDd. did not possess one tenth of the
military power now swayed by Mr.. Lincoln.
Judging by the recklessness of the Administra-
ton in prosecuting its sovereign will in matters
great and small. some observers of political
events seem TO anticipates high handed meas
ures from its nterferences when the Presidential
campaign approaches"

QuantreII the Brigand.

The Infamous monster who perpetrated the in.
human massacre at Lawrence, is, we believe, a
native OF Maryland. At any rate he once lived
at Cumberland in that State. where he attempted
to kill his wife. For this, he was placed in Jail,
where he ragged and roared like a wild beast BE
finally made his escape to Kansas, where, for a
time, be was known as a Free State man. and as
such took part in the Kansas war in 1855 and
1856, and also in the border fights Of 1861. For
some reason. he became esiranged from the
Union Cause and espoused that of the rebellion,
and took up the pursuit OF bushwacking. de is
a skiilful partisan leader-boid, daring, aud al
merciless as a hyena. With a large force Of ex.
perienced border fighters now on his track, his
escape is hardly possible. He will probably be
captured, and. when overtaken, his shrift will be
a short one.-[Chicago Tribune.

How Abolition sentiment Is Manu-
factured.

The Boston Post has received a communicates
from Washington, from a New England gentle
man. who declares that he writes from a sense oil
duty. giving an account of the manner in which
abolition sentiment is manufactured, that, to say
the least. Is curious if true. and we see no reason
to doubt its %veracity. The writer says in sub
stance that in June last he was in a small village
a few miles from Nashville. Tenn. AT the hotel
there was a smart Yankee correspondent of a
radical Philadelphia paper, with whom he became
intimate-so much so that the correspondent
used to read his letters 70 our correspondent be
fore sending them away, and request his iudg
ment upon them The writer saws he was per
fectly dumbfounded by one in which was recited

Knoxville and Chattanooga.

The Federal army, it is reported, propose to
take these important positions in Tennessee.
Knoxville is the capital of Knox county, lS5
miles east of Nashville. 1t is beautifully situq-
ted on the right bank of the Holston river, four
miles below its confluence with the French Broad
river. The Holston is navigable for steamboats,.
The city is also on a principal line of railroad
running south into Georgia. The State Asylum
for the deaf and dumb is located at Knoxville.
1t had FIVE thousand or six thousand inhabitants
before the war.
Chattanooga is a post village on the Tennessee
river, $50 miles by water below Knoxville, and
l40 southeast of Nashville. 1t is an important
military position, being the terminus Of the Nash
vile and Chattanooga railroad, and of the West
ern and Atlantic railroad. The river is Daviga-
bic by steam, eight months in the year, and by
iatboats during the other four. A good share
of the produce of East and Middle Tennessee are
shipped from this point. Population about 4 600
When both of these places are taken. Tennes
see will be mostly under the old flag.

rertinent auestion.

The question has frequently been asked "What
is the meaning OF the military displays that are
daily visible throughout Pennsylvaniaf" In
many of the large towns guards are stafione at
the railroad depots. aud s~entinels may be seen
walking TO and fso, just as IL there was imminent
danger Of an attack from the rebels. Hundreds
aud thousands of soldiers are scattered over the
State. engaged in the performance Of, the most
useless and unnecessary duties. How much of
the hard earned money Of the oppressed tax pay
ers is required 10 pay for service thus rendered
by companies and regiments, hundreds Of miles
away from the scene of active military opera
tionsf Does the administrator intend to use
these men in the execution of u gigantic fraud
upon the right OF suffrage, or is their presence in
our midst only intended TO accustom the people
to military shows in order 10 prepare the way for
a military despotismf Let the people ponder well
upon these things, and answer these questions for
themselves when they deposit their votes in the
balIot-box .-lPhiladelphia Age.

seward and chase i'm new York.

The proceedings of the Ssacuse Convention
have had one result. and that is the ascendancy
once more of the old Seward philanx in this
State, and the complete overthrow Of Chase and
his followers. including poor Greeley. who feels
in a sad condition This is the meaning of the
Convention at Syracuse. Nor was it Thurlow

forces in this fight. 1t was Raymond who did il
all. Weed has become a superannuated imbe

upper hand of his adversary. The fight is still
going on between the distinguished individuals,
and we hone the President will not interfere to
stop it.-GN. Y. Herald.

panied Gen Wistar's reconnaissance to Bot

petition was made with only two regiments of

could have advanced to the Notifications of
Richmond and ascertained the condition of the
defenses of that city. The statement as pub

there would be no soldiers needed here, for
Washington is never so safe as when a large
Union army is threatening Richmond. Let the

The Policy of m Administration
Toward the Rebels.

There are indications that the radical elements
il the Republican party have no longer a cont OIL
ling influence with the Administration. The
State Convention of New York, and extreme
radical measures, give some hope that a better
day is dawning upon the country. The follow
ing from the Washington dispatches to the New
York Herald in regard to the policy Of the Ad-
ministration toward the rebels gives additional
hope that wiser councils will prevail:
Parties have recently been here from Tennes-
see. North Carolina, Louisiana, Texas and Ar
kansas, urging most earnestly the adoption and
PRONUNCIATION by the President of the policy in
reference to the Southern States indicated in the
letter Of Secretary Seward to the French Minister
of Foreign Affairs. They represent that the
masses of the people Of these States are ready
aud anxious to return to their allegiance to the
Federal Government as soon as they are assured
of its protection against the rebel forces. They
contend that the requirements that slavery shall
be abolished as a prerequisite for the readmission
of these States into the Union is totally unneces
sary. and will only delay the contamination de
voutly desired by the whole people They say
the States named will, after their readnission,
adopt emancipation laws as surely as Missouri.
and cite the political result in the latter State as
an example of the condition Of affairs in these
other States The assertion of Senator Rusk, of
Texas, that if that State should be divided, AS
was proposed, into four States. there would be
three free and only one slave. is pointed to as an
evidence of the ultimate emancipation of slavery
there
These representations have had considerable
influence in Cabinet circles, and the argument
that the abolition of slavery will surely follow the
return into the Union has materially lessened the
force of the radical faction in insisting upon the
previous abolition of slavery as a ~sine..qua non OF
the readmissiOn ofany Of the vagrant stars ofthe
constellation.
