"WAR MAKES THIEVES AND PEACE HANGS.
Them. The old Scotch proverb explains
very clearly why the shoddy contractors cot
ton spectators and Government thieves gen t.
orally are SO ready to call every man tra.
tor who speaks word in behalf Of peace.
If war makes them thieves and peace hangs
them, it is but natural that all the thieves in
the country should be more afraid OF peace
than of war Such men will not vote for
the democratic candidates; they will support
the party which employs and protects them.
Fear forces them to clamor for continuance,
of the war.

ALL FOR THE NEGRo.-Lincoln rejection
of overtures for peace, says an exchange, has,
amazed the whole country. The shoddy or.
gans are devoting nearly all their space to-
denials, apologies and explanations. All will
not do. The people see, from Lincon's own
statement, that the war is to be waged to,
abolish slavery, and he won't permit it to
stop until the slaves are emancipated, even il
he should lie forced to conscript every white
man in the Union to accomplish bis purpose.

On the line Of the Atlantic and Grand
Western Hallway, near Wooster, Ohio, the
emoankment and track lately disappeared in
a most mysterious manner Upon examina.
ton it WAS found that about a hundred feet
OF the road had sunk, and was continuing to
sink, while into the cavity formed black
mud, and heavy streams of water .gushed
from below. With the water there were
thrown up number Of eyeIess fish, still
living. The sink is one Of great depth, and
considerable difficulty will be experienced in
filling it.

can papers, observes the Napa Reporter, in
referring to their defeat in Nevada, say such
defeats ''wil do their party good, ""will have
good effect y When they beat the demo.
Gratis, the result, they say, will do them good,
will have good effect. Strange set Of ducks
these Pubs. are. Either defeat or victory
will have a'"good effect" on them. We are
glad to hear this. The Lord knows if there
is people in the world that are in want OF
something to have good effect on them
they are the ones.

FoRCING HIM INTO TIE TRACEs.-We OBJ
serve that Reverend lIoratio Stebbins. who
recently arrived here to take command OF
the Church of the late Starr King, is adver-
llsed to address an Abolition meeting. Be-
fore the man has time to look about him.,
and take bis bearings, he is unceremononsly
rushed on to the hustings to hel p the office
holders here in the political campaign. We
suspect that Mr.. Stebbins is more politician
than minister. s. Il. Press
