b~The Basis of Reconstructing the
Rebel States, is a new, delicate and per.
picking question. Congress passed law
on the subject, which the President saw
proper (as is in bis power) no, to "approve," /"
but which be treats with respect. Where
upon, Messrs. Il. w Davis and B. F. Wade
give him . severe scoring for bis honest
difference Of opinion. 1t is hardly worth
while for friends to get too warm about
what to do with the Seeding States, until
their military despots are suJdued. "First,
catch your FISH," dress it afterwards.

Last Word to our Delinquent Subscribers

A Last Word to our Delinquent SuDscribe{s
AT the close of the present volume, we
propose to strike from our list, the names Of
all subscribers who have taken our paper
from the time or near the commencement Of
the new series, and who have neglected to
pay US for it. We shall then proceed to col
ect all amounts due us from such de linquents
One more number closes the the third VOL
une of the new series. Those therefore,
who have taken our paper for nearly three
years, and have failed to pay us for it, need
not be surprised at DOT receiving the lst No.
of the 4th volume.
We are obliged to adopt this course from
necessity, not from choice. We would be
glad, were we able to do so, to furnish our
paper, gratis, or give even longer credit
than three years, to every man, woman and
child in the country, who desired 1t but our
Instincts of f-prcservaton-our duty to
our,family forbid it, In short We are too poor
The exhorbitant prices now demanded
for paper, ink, labor, and indeed every thing
used by US in publishing our paper, has forc>
ed US to adopt this plan, to save ourselves
from ruin. We do it with great reluct ance
for we are satisfied that our paper finds its
way into hundreds of families where its ben,
efits far exceed i is price. We are aware too,
that many whose names We shall strike
off are good and true men-reliable demo-
crats-abundantly responsible for score OF
subscriptions. But three years is longer
credit than We can afford to give. We are
obliged to pay for our paper and ink, when
it Is received, and our labor when it is done
II is possible that in the close pruning
which we propose to give our list, we may
Inadvertently omit the names of some who
have paid US something on their subscrip-
tions. When informed Of any such omission
we will cheerfplly correct it.
We ask those who may be indebted TO us
for one or two years. or upwards, to sec to
it that they are at least, square with US at
the commencement Of the fourth volume.
Reuittances by letter or otherwise will
be promptly acknowledged, and receipted by
earliest mail.

A Grab for 100000 Poor Men =.

Republicans as we'll as Democrats, regard
and speak of Lincoln's Draft Proclamation for
100000 more, as grab after poor men. And
they may well say SO, for it is not expected,
nor was it intended to catch the rich who if
drafted, can readily give $500 or $4,000 for
substitutes, while the poor man, however
good his char tcter, or numerous bis friends,
has no chance Of escape, Lincoln and his cab
met having influenced Congress to strike out
the $500 commutatlon provision. If the SUBJ
sttute clause had also been done away, then
the rich and poor able bodied men between 20
and As, would have Jared alike but Lincoln
& Co., don't want that. Their doctrine is
that all the fighting shouli be done by the
poor men, just as if the life of poor man is
not so sacred and valuable to himself, his
father, mother, children, brothers, sisters and
friends, as the rich mans is to him and his |!

100000 More.

Old Abe has called for five hundred thou
sand more. Are the men really needed If
SO it is strangely humiiating. At the CON-
mencement of the war, the white population
Of the South was set down at nine millions {,
deducting the women and children, and those
the fighting material was estimated at seven
hundred thousand,- may have reached one
millien, and yet to conquer or subdue them
it has been found necessary to call out, from
time to time, and employ, over two millions
of men-- fully two to one and still the c.y
is for more men. Five hundred thousand is
the estimate Of the federal loss in battle up
to the present time,-fully half as many as
the Senthrons could raise, and yet with this
immense number, and with this terrible loss,
aud with six hundred thousand federal SOL
diers still in the field, il is deemed necessary
to call out another half million Of men. 1t
this state of affairs presents pleasing aspect
to tho getters up Of this war for disunion, lie
them enjoy it, 1t is deeply humiliatiug to
the North. This very call is tantamount to
an acknowledgment of failure of ener
gy and bravery of Northern troops-but Of
brains to conduct the affairs of State a1d
manage the war-a most hum iatiDg failure,
and to make up for this amentable defcien-
cy on the part of the Administration, we are

rience that CONSTITUTION WATER has emenat-
ed and we now say let no man doubt, when single

best medical talent in the country failed to relieve.
A remedy possessing the virtues of Constitution
Water cannot be cassed under "quack' prepara-
tons as it is now used by the most scientific prac

clans that cry down popular remedies, while the bet
ter skilled make use Of every means to accomplish
a cure; and the success Of the physician increases
as his knowledge Of different remedies enables him
10 produce cure while Others fail in tho attempt
Science is satisfied with the truth.
Give Constitution Water fair trial-we mean you
who ore under some SPECIALISTS care from year TO
year. and we partc ularly allude TO ladies who are
constantly resOrting to LOCAL TREATMENT, and all
sorts of local applications for diseases with much
chance of success there would be from local ap-
plications to the throat for diseases of the BRAIN
We have always been careful TO use language in
our circular that could not shock the most delicate
organization, but we receive many communications
from persons for whom Constitution Water is adapt
ed, and Of whose disease no mention has been made
that have TO the conclusion that if the rem
edy is capable of producing cure, no matter what
the disease may be, it should be made known. The
medicine is put up for the public and there should
be no exceptions. .fs.
