An imprisonment that is not
Illegal,

Quite a number Of our citizens Of the Abo-
lition persuasion had their uerves,'dr eadfully
shocked on yesterday afternoon, on hearing
that one Of their most active partisans-the
most loyal Of the Loyal Leaguers-was in Fort
Lafayette, charged with aiding to swindle the
Government and to give aid and comfort 10
the Secesh, We allude to Mr.. A. NJ. Palmer,
Private Secretary IN Collector Barney, whose
fate probably foreshadows that ola few more
OF the same sort
Mr. Palmer thought, as do others OF his po-
litical brethren, that the Government balonE-
ed to them, and hence could use il for his prf
yate gain. United States Marshal MURRAY
thought different and Nj Collector Barney il
deprived Of his Private Secretary and ebieI
adviser, and the Abolition party of it's ohieI
manager. That the system Of fraud thus de
tscted has been going on for some time, and
that other parties, besides those arrested
equally "loyal, have been engaged in similar
practices, there is no doubt and Genera
Dix, we hope, will ferret them out, and mol
let the rasoals 90 unwhipped Of Justice. Tho
cause OF the arrest, and the mode by which
the fraud was practieed will be found in ID,

NHajessy of Law.

Frederick the Great, a century ago, wished
to enlarge his possessions and his place. A
certain mill obscuted the view, and he offered
the Prussian a fair price for it. he refused
to sell, becausei it was a p%sternal estate. Fred
erick then ordered the mill torn down, which
was done. The miller stood calmly by, say
ing that he would abide by the law. He must
obey his sovereign, but the law did not com
pei him to sell his mill HsappeSlsd to the
courts, and the courts decided that Frederick
should re build the mill. This he cheerfully
did, thanking God that he had a court not in
luenced by imperial favor, Twenty years ago
the present owner of the mill became involved,
and offered to sell it to Frederick William, the
succe ssor of Frederick the Great. The SOW
ereign refused to buy, but freely gave him
So, 600, saying that the min must stand as a
monument of the triumph OF law, and Prussia
stands to-day as n constant monument Of the
majesty of law. 1t is not beneath the dignity
even of IN Emperor to be submissive to law.

The Late storm and Cold.

The great snow storm which spread from
Western Missouri north and east to Buffalo
and Quebec, and south and east to Louisville
and Virginia, aud the intense cold experienced
have seldom been equRled ia this latitude
The cold seems to have prevailed over the
whole country, as far as heard from, aud the
winds were sharp and biting as those from
Arctic snow.iieldsl The storm was unusually
severe. The snow fell at Springfield, Illinois,
to the depth of a foot, and was terribly drifted
by the winds. At st. Paul, said p dispatch,
"the snow is three feet on a level and sill
showing and blowing furicusly." Over three
feet OF snow fell vt Madison, Wisconsin, and
at Quincy, Illinois, the trains were all block
nded, and the river WAS completely closed
On the night of December 3lst four trains
were blockaded by the snow between Chicago
and Solicit, and two between Peoria and Lo
gansport, the NOV being piled in drifts to the
top OF the cars. News frOUi central Iowa show
that the storm prevailed with great violence
there, the snow being very deep and much
drited, aud the cold almost unehddfablee Al
Buffalo the storm was the heaviest known
since 1874, and the mercury fell TO nine de-
grees below zero. At St Louis the mercury
fell to twenty-four degrees below zero, at Chi.
cago twenty eight and one-half degrees, at
Louisville nineteen and one-half degrees, "a
Temperature before unknown in that region,
at indianapolis twenty degrees, at Toledo
eighteen degrees Much snow fell in Mary
land, and along the Upper Potomac in Virgin.
ia. AT Cumberland last Saturday morning
the mercury stood At sixteen degrees below
zero. The lowest point reached at Detroit
was tWenty-four degrees, and reports from
different parts of the State indicate the ex
c%essive cold which prevailed, the mercury
rAnging-from eighteen to twenty degrees be-
low zero In the Northern part of the Stat,
there WAS a heavy fall of snow.

soulhern FeeIIng,

The American letter from the Baltimore
correspondent OF the Loudon Chronicle is Of
interest. Il says
BNrTuoRs, Decembet II, 1862
The campaign Of 1868 is CLOSED. Anothar
year has passed 0f resultless warfare and
worse than useless bloodsbed. With Tie ex-
ception OF the capture Of Nicksburg, the i'm.
portauco Of which, it is nov well understood,
was largely exaggerated, the North has gained
no deslded advantage, nor made auy impof-
taut progress toward tbs accomplishment d
is real purpose, the s~uhjugation ofthe South.
Toward the restoration Of the Union it has
effected absolutely nothing No domain what
ever has been actually brought back into The
Union. Where ioothold has baen obtai ned, il
has been obtained hy the sword and it is only
held by the sword. In no portion OF the slave
States OF which the North nov holds posses.
sion, has the slightest desire for re union man.
Tested itself among the people who are truly
! Southern. 700 .9a
In tho Bogder States, the opposition "a
Northern rule is become syen more general
aud in the State Of Maryland especially, which
has been held absolutely by the Federals since
the outbreak Of the rebellion, and in which
they had ample time to reconcile the inhsbi.
tanls to the p%aternal and bsnedcent rule OF
the present Government, the feeling in favor
Of the South sndlths desire Of admission into
the Southern Confederaey is more unanimous
than ever. The Southern armies ara %Stilluu'
conquered, and the Southern patriots arostiil
u%ndaunted.
The people Of the South are as fulls as ever
determined not to submit to the rule Of tho
North, and they are at this day better prepar-
ed to carry on u protracted defensive struggle
than they were at the beginning Of the war
Their hatred Of the North has become only
the more confirmed, and theig antipaihy only
the deeper rooted. Their bitteraoss OF feeling
has become so intensified that years Of peace
cannot now eradicate it from The hearts Of
meu whom wrong and oppression have taught
to hate, aud who have been forced By the van
dalism Of their enemies to teach their children
that they have ~neighbors whom it would DO q

A Monument of Grave Yards.

The Administration has successfully estab-
lished a United States graveyard at ChAttAn-
ooga, There is one thing in which the Re
publican party has achieved great excellence.
1t is an excellent grave-digger. Its grave
yards in the South will be everlasting monu'
ments Of its skill in that line. And then, in
Cling those graves, it has not had to borrow
subjects. 1t has proudly drawn upon our own
vast resources, and therefore, it boasts that the
grave yards it has, with so much eclat, estab.
lished in the South, are well filed with the
bodies OF our own Northern people They are
our sons, our fathers, our brothers, our neigh.
bors and kindred, who sleep there
"where the Toe and the stranger shall tread DER iheii
heads"
And there their bones will lie, objects of loath
ing aud seoru to that people. Cheerful though
to those Northern families, whose dead have
been generously buried by the benevolent Re
publican party. The everlasting monument
of this party shall be its grave yards-Das

Various Items.

Late news from well informed sources in
France, indicate that MACMILLAN will ac-
cept the throne of Mexico. 1t is said
that he emily awaits an approving vote by
the French people. And as elections in
France, are nearly as completely Kinder
the force of the bayonet as here, the
schemes of NAPOLEON will no doubt OBJ
tain a regular BRoUaH majority of the free
and independent voters. Ii, by any un-
looked for contingency, NAPOLEON
should fail, we advise him to send an
agent over, and see how things are done
here, and he will be entirely assured of
success next time.
We learn that Hungary is likely to be
the scene of a new revolution. A prOelA-
nation has been issued from the city of
Pesth claiming the Hungarian right OF
aelf-government, and making Louis Kos
surH President of the Committee by which
the address was issned.
2 The French Government, in the case Of
the RAppahannoek, a Confederate vessel,
has decided that she has all the rights APP
pertaining to belligsrents, and that she is
as welcome to French ports as any Feder-
al vessel.

OF DIR. BIcKLEY, we know nothing,
whatever, save what we gather from his
own publication. Its truth has not been
denied, so far as we have seen. But what
ever credibility may attach to his particu-
lar statement, we know that he is innocent,
by the law Of the land, until he is proven
guilty; and we know that, as yet, there is
no such proof.

why, in the State of Ohio. where every
court, Federal and State, is, and has been,

power to try and convict OF crime, why,

upon warrant, and tried upon indictment,
found by the grand %iurors OF the State ?

Talk of the barbarism of medieval
days; of the shocking cruelty of the more
modern murders OF the French Jscobins;

able victim of solitary confinement en-
dures. In the dark, dsuk cell, he has been
known to alleviate his horrible solitude by
making friends o fthe spiders, and rats
the vermin-of his prison; until at last
the inevitable catastrophe comes, and the
light of his mind is quenched in the dark
ness of insanity.
Think of these fact, people Of all par.
ties. and in GoD's name aid us the peace
full. legal overthrow of the internal despot.
