NoN-ExEMprIoN OF MINIsrERs--The Epis-
copdi Recorder. in an article referring to the
refusal of Congress to exempt ministers of the
uospei from liability to draft. says: "Nor will
there be any serious consequences from the
refusal to grant this exemption. Wherever a
minister of the Gospel is useful to his peo-
pie, and breaches faithfully of Christ. they
will gladly contribute for his relief the three
hundred dollars the law prescribes for commu-
tation. Should they not be ready TO do this,
or should the drafted minister be without
church connection which will pay this amount
for his discharge. We Cannot see that he has
any pnbic claims to-be excused from the per-
formsnce of that service, which, distasteful as
IT may be, every loyal citizen is now called
upon TO render.''

A CASE IN PoIyT.-A great deal is said a.
bout the extrayagaDce of the War Department
by the Copperheads. The Nashville Union,
in crticising this fault finding spirit, calls at
tention to the fact that the Utah expedition,
which consisted of 10 900 men, and lasted only
few months, cost six millions of dollars.
At the same rate, the cost of the present war,
with nearly million OF men, would, up 10
this time have been seveE billions Of dollars

EbUS L. ALE W .

The following is reported to be an ex-
tract from a speech made by Hon. Chas.
r. Buckalew, since his election. If it is
correct, his election by the "Peace Dem
ocrats," will prove great defeat to their
plans.
"While the heart sickeus at this loss of
life and expenditure of treasure, let no
loyal man hesitate as to our future course.
The Constitution respected and the laws
enforced, at whatever expenditure Of life
and money the interest involved de.
mands the sacrifice. 1t should be the
ardent prayer of all just men that the
cause of this unhnppy strife which is
plainly apparent, should bestricken down.
Christians, patriots and philauthropists
throughout the world, will approve this
course, and peace, when conquered, will
be perpetual. Let the administration
rise to a higher appreciation of its duties
to the people Let there be no jealous
les, no exhibition of party strife, no sym
pathy with rebels Opposition to the
constituted authorities in the struggle to
maintain and preserve the Government
by all legitimate means, whether by force
of arms or proclamations calculated to
weaken and destroy the power Of the Gov
ernmcnt, aud to remove the cause of strife
forever,is little short Of TREASON. Let
US then, in our action here on this ques-
ton at least, as may be presented, show
our devotion to the Government, to the
interest of our children, to the cause of
civil liberty throughout the wcrld."

The War, Peace Party, Duty OF
American Citizens.
By L. T. MAYNARD.

The South first drew the sword dehed
the Government of tn } Union, and sought
its overthrow. The war was forced upon
the Government OF the United States, as
a measure of defence-an absolute duty
to execute the laws, and to maintain the
integrity Of the Country. A failcre to
respond to this obligation of duty, would
have been to have gwen up the Govern
ment-to have passed over in Cowardice
and shame the rich and glorious heritage
received from our Fathers, to the hands
of the traitors and assassins of liberty
But a United North shouted out, an en-
phatic No. No Rebel State or States
shall sever the Union. No Traitors shall
dsintegrate and divide this country wbica
the God of Nature in forming of it, in its
conGguration, the range Of its Mountains,
the course of its mighty rivers, designed
for its lasting and true interest, should
have perfect oneness, and unity CT in
terest. At the outbreak of the war SO
answered the loyal patriotism of the coun.
try. Aud that same patriotism with even
brighter kindling of its fire, must still
save the country or we are lost And
why should there be shadow of doubt as
to the result of this contest? The Issue,
is Liberty, or Slavery. The logic of the
war has brought it to this, Liberty now
through all the broad extent of this coun,
try from the Lakes TO the Gulf, or Sla-
very over the whole" The War now
has this significance and none other. 1t
is way to determine whether the true
democratic Republican ideas, of a Gov
ernment of the People, based upon the
Institutions of the people, shall control
and rule this ContInentl Or whether
the most odious Aristocracy based upon
Slavery, shall set up in this land its re,
pugnant Government, and put out the
light of all our past and darken all our
future? Yet with the full knowledge OF
all this, there are men who cry Peace
Peace when there is no peace, can be
no peace until the rebellion is put down
and the rightful lawful Government ac.
knowlcdged in its full supremacy. And
who compose this Peace Party? Demo.
Gratis Peace Democrats What libel
upon Democracy! Democracy in the vi.
tality of its power, is living principle,
opposed to all forms of Aristocracy and
oppression, and would "extend the great.
est number" And yet these men, would
Law the Government of our Fore Fathers
In humble submission at the feet of reb.
els and traitors, whose hands are now red
with the blood of their own kindred
and substitute for the old Government OF
liberty, a Government of the most detes-
table Slavery Aristocracy And this is
the base, counterfeit, bogus Democracy,
of these degenerate days. Men ! Patri-
OTIS Lovers Of liberty every where have
nothing to do with such infamous lead.

A late editorial of the London Times,
which has been Systematically hostile to
us ever since our troubles began, con-
demus the retaIiatory message of jeff.
Davis, and tells the following truths,
which are denied by half the Democratic
papers in the North pretending loyalty :
The South should remember that they
were the first TO draw the sword in this
quarrel that they rose against an estab-
lished Government in the exercise of its
legal functions; that they obtained, by
tie agency Of traitors in that Government,
a considerable supply of arms and money,
and that that Union which they seek to
dissolve is, as events have proved, the
dearest wish of every American heart"

BSy~The Mexican Democrat, one of the
smallest, meanest, and most pusilanimoas tory
sheets, publishes letter, (professing to come
from soldier but which is plainly the work
of tory in the ClearfeLd Republican Office }
in which this passage occurs "There is
nothing worthy Of going to war for, only our
liberty Now our liberty is not at stake and
don't think the war is just on our part, but
is just on theirs for if you were in the South
and an army was trying to take your liberty
from you, you would fight like damnation-
anyhow would" Such is the character Of
scores of articles published by these traitors
and towards, who are too sheep hearted to &c
south and fight for the Rebels. Men, wishing
people to believe them loyal, defend such
articles, and say in excuse that it is merely
exercising the right of "free speech"

OuR STATE FINAxcEs.-It is gratifying to
find our State Treasury in so tourishng a
condition, Notwithstanding the rebellion
through which the country is passing. The
fiscal year, ending with November 30th,
shows that there has been economy and good
management worthy of all commentator.
The expenditures of the year amounted to
S45, ,945 500, aid yet the balance in the
Treasury, on the 3Oth of November, was
b2l7l,844. This is handsome fund to have
Cd hand, and with the revenue to accrue from
December and January, will leave, after the
navment of the February interest a balance
of about a million and half avilable for any
emergency that may arise. Thanks to the
resources of the State and the management

Auditor General, for this state Of things

nsa The Academic Exhibition on WedRes-
day night of last week, was success. The
students, from the youngest to the oldest,
performing their parts well. We regret to
hear that the present teachers have not de-
cided to return. The care and attention they
have given to the school, the hard labor they
have performed for the comparatively small
compensation, and the success attending their
efforts should stimulate our citizens to the
work of making some ample provision for
,heir speedy return. If this is not done and
they return no more to our pleasant village in
their capacity Of teachers, we wish for them
in their new homes brighter field for good
and a more generous compensation.
