Arrest of John NIuIlaIy.

The popular sentiment has been shocked
of late by the accounts of the unusually
tyrannical measures adopted by the Adj
ministration in Kentucky. But the evil
now comes nearer home. The system of
terrorism has been reinaugurated in this
city by an attempt to intimidate the public
press. On yesterday, Mr.. John Mullaly
was arrested by United States Marshal on
the complaint of Mr.. L. Delafield Smith,
United States District Attorney, for an al
legged opposition to the draft through sew
eral articles published in The Metropolitan
Record and New York VindicdtOr, of which
Mr.. Mullaly is editor and proprietor. We
have read the articles referred to in the
complaint, and find in them no evidence of
an intention to excite the populace to re-
sistance. They are confined to an assertion
of the nconstitutionality of the Conscrip-
tion law, and an appeal to the Governor OF
this State to protect the rights of the people
through the recognized tribunals and his
legitimate executive action. The right to
question the constitutionality of an act OF
Congress cannot be denied to the citizen,
and 1t lisa part of the duty of apublic jour
nal to discuss without reserve the propriety
and legality of measures that affect the
public veal. 1t is too late in Mr.. Lincolns
reigu, and too near the period of his dis
charge from office to attempt to intimidate
the press of New York. If it could be done,
it would of course give Mr.. Lincoln great
advantage in the presidential campaign,
and we are not surprised that the expert
ment is about to be tried. But it will fail,
and viii serve only to further weaken the
already hopeless position of the Baltimore
candidate. There is not newspaper in this
city that will yield at this crisis to any de-
gree of terrorism that the Administration
may seek to impose. We are convinced that
Mr.. Mullaly will write as vigorously and as
efforts may be to the prospects of Mr.. Lin
coin on the eighth of November. Mr.. Null
laly appeared with his counsel before the
United States Commissioner, and gave bail
in the sum of $2,500 to attend his eXamina-
tion on Tuesday next.-N. Y. Ne,es.

The Case i'm a Nutshell.

There is now an appearance that the par
oxysm of anti-slayery feeling which led to
our present condition is losing its power,
and that the expenditure of three billions,
the destruction Of our commerce, the death
of half million of men, the certainty that
more men and more money must be ex-
pended, arbitrary arrests, military inter
ference in elections, martial law over States,
suppressions of journals, and general con-
tempt for law, are pretty heavy price tc
pay for a social experiment. OF course, il
the people want more of these luxuries
they will have them, and, by the social condi-
ton which binds man to his fellows In
State. the wise must share the fate of the
unwise. In every government, no matter
whether despotism, monarchy, an oil
garchy, or a federal republic, there is Q
tract Of debatable ground between tht
rulers and the ruled, which neither can oc'

CHAMBERsBURG.-It is really too bad that
this town should have been treated so bad
ly by its friends. This was the only town
mean enough to arrest Coppeck, after the
John Brown raid, and deliver him over to
the tender mercies of Henry A. Wise, and
Southern Chivalry. Verify, they have
their reward."-O. s, Journal.
The above is a specimen OF Lincoln 10y
atty. The Journal, as is well known, is
published by the notorious public thief,
Captain HURT. Just such publications
brought the war upon us. THE only town
mean enough to arrest Coppeck"-a n,,r-
derer. "Verily, they have their reward" !"
The burning of the town is a REGARD for
handing over to the authorities cut-throat.
When the entire Abolition press teemed
with just such articles, indorsing the infa-
nous old Brown in his wholesale attempts
at murder theft and arson, can it be Won
dered that the Southern people were driven
into secession as the only safeguard of their
lives and their property. ltwas the inten-
ton of the Abolitionists to either drive
them to secession, or wage q war against
them without it.-Mnysrille Democrat.

A Treasure Recovered from the
Sea.

The crazy old Sante Pietre, the rotton
hulk, of whose rescue from the entrance of
Toulon harbor, France has given such sat
isfaction to all navigators bound to that
place, is destined to furnish food for the
records of romance, after serving as Illus
tration to those of science. When the hulk
was raised by means of the simple cOntri-
vance of young Lieutenant, who propos-
ed to slice it by means of gigantic shears,
the only profit expected to be derived from
the wreck was the iron bolts and fittings,
which, although rusty and'cankered, were
bidded for by a contractor at tolerable
figure. But as if the advantages of the
cranky old vessel were destined never to
end, il is discovered " have contained all
this while secret treasure worth double
and treble the sum at which the whole
hulk, timber, bolts, fittings, and all had
been valued. In the ribs of the monster
were found four or five distinct hiding
places tor gold pieces, piled with the
greatest order and regularity in little
grooves, scoOped out for the purpose
behind the boards of the ship. This is
likely to furnish matter of legal cOntentioD.
as the contractors for the wood claim the
treasure discovered in breaking itup, while
the Government officials put in the plea of
possession, which seems to be nine points OF
the law all the world over. The existence
of the treasure is accounted for III. the most
natural manner possible. The Sante Pietre
had been employed in the transport of con-
yicts to CAYENNE. 1t is well known that the
convicts once condemned have secret means
of conveying away their ill-gotten gains,
but hitherto the means of concenlment had
been an impenetrable secret to the authors
ties. The vessel had met with q terrible
gale off the coast, and the convicts had been
landed in small boats in the dead of the
night, compelled to leave their treasure be-
hind them. For the sensation novel here
are invaluable elements of interest and
emotion. The storm-the wreck-the con-
cealment of the treasure, and the despair
of having to abandon it! Three volumes
or three acts would scarcely suffice for de-

what is Evident.

The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser (Rep.)
speaks of the aspect of political affairs all
over the country as confused and unsettled,
and adds:
Notwithstanding the fact that the Balti-
more Convention has announced its candi-
date and its platform, it is evident that ele-
ments of discord are at work in our midst,

pointed politicians, aided nota little by q

Death Of ~ Great French Pub
Usher.

The week has been saddened by the death
of Hachette, the publisher, whose business
was said to be the largest in the world.
Like most of the men who have risen to
eminence, Hachette owed his success en-
tirely to his own industry and intuition of
the requisites of popularity. Literature
owes him unbounded gratitude for the lib
erality with which he pursued the elevation
and purifying its tone and sentiments.
Hachette steadily avoided the encourage
ment of the prurient compositions of the
day, and gave to the world long series of
useful and valuable publications, which
now form the standard literature of the
epoch. He belonged to the clique from
which have sprung the men Of note in
France during the last half century-the
Ecole Normale, of the Rue des Postes,
whence have issued Guizot, Villemain,
Cousin, and the whole of the remark
able members of the Government. AT the
dispersion of the Ecole Normale, he aban-
doned the career for which he had been
studying, and devoted himself not to
the literary but the commercial applica-
tion of the classics, by establishing ware
house of classical books, which succeeded
beyond all expectation. From thence he
became the great publisher of the time, and
so immense were his transactions that he
was heard to say not long ago that were he
to retire from the concern he could realize
profit of one million of francs upon the
annual sale OF the stock already in hand
But the reason of his declining to do so, in
spite of his falling health, consisted in the
certainty of the decay of the house, which
his commercial pride could not support.
Scarcely literary celebrity in France was
absent from his funeral. The Minister of
Public Instruction, the members of the
Corps Legislatif, the authors, the artists,
and journalists, crowded round the coffin
which contained the remains of one who
had been the most liberal patron of the
gentle craft during the whole of his long
and laborious life. Notwithstanding the
immense capital already realized by the
house, it is supposed that the business will
still be carried on by the two sons-in-law-
Templier and Breton. Hachette has left no
son. He was married to the daughter of
Schulze, the printer, of London.

EIEfuTIYE: RECOMMENDATION.
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3, 1864.


The signal success that Divine Providence
has recently vouchsafed to the operations Of
the United States feet and army in the har-
Dor of Mobile, and the reduction of Fort Pow
ell, Fort Gains and Fort Morgan, and the
glorious achievements Of the army under Gen.
Sherman in the State of Georgia, resulting in
the capture Of the city of Atlanta, call for de-
vout acknowledgements to the Supreme Being
in whose hands arc the destinies Of nations
It is therefore requested that on next Sunday,
in all places of worship, in the United States,
thanksgiving be offered to Him for his mercy
in preserving our national existence against
the insurgent Rebels who have been wagiDg
a war against the Government of the United
States for its overthrow, also that prayer be
made for Divine Protection to our brave SOL
diers and their leaders in the field, who have
so often and so gallautly periled their lives
in battling with the enemy; and for blessings
and comfort from the Father of Mercies to
the sick wounded and prisoners, and to the
orphans and widows of those who have fallen
in the service Of their country; and that he
will continue to uphold the Government Oi
the United States against all the efforts oi
public enemies and secret foes.

A SURE TEsT,

There assembled at Fort Wayne, Ind, ON
Saturday night, a public meeting to rejoice
over Shermans victory in Georgia. That
meeting was dispersed by opperheads-men
who were represented in the Chicago Conven-
tion. Now no one need be at loss to know
where the sympathies of those Fort Wayne
chaps are. The manner in which they receive
news of our victories is a sure test.
There are two parties before the people for
their support. The prospects of the Copper
head party are improved by military disasters.
leaders Of this party would rejoice in unison
with the Southern rebels. On the other side,
the prospects of the Union party are improv-
ed by military victories. Events which cause
the Southern rebels to mourn cause the Union
men to rejoice, because the downfall of the
Coufederacy would be the triumph OF the ma
tion.
Now laying aside personal preferences, aud
partisan prejudces, let every man who has
loyal heart, and loves his country above party,
ask himself how he can consistently act with
a party which depends for success upon the
defeat of our armies. and whose leaders are
sorrowful over military victories. Douglas
said that there can be but two parties in this
war-patriots and traitors. Patriots would
naturally rejoice over the success Of our ar
mies Traitors would be differently affected.
This is a sure test. Apply it, reader, and
then choose your place. You can't be a true
patriot, and act, politically, with those who
sympathize with traitors. That's certain.
