Legislative.

Messrs Jackson and Kline submitted The
following objections
The undersigned respectfully submit the
following reasons for voting against the fl
nal passage of House Bill No. 1857 entitled
ga supplement to the act for the organiza-
iion, discipline and regulation of TIE mill
tia of The Common wealth of Pennsylvania,
approved May 4th, A. d. 1864.
LIST. The majority OF this House, whilst
ma king loud protesiatons of Tov atty and
claiming to be par e1celienee the true and
only friends Of the soldier, having attempt
ed to deprive him of The right OF electing
his own officers, and by this bill place the
power of appointing the regimental officers
in the hands of the Governor.
To this we object as being wrong and
contrary to all precedent.
2. The bill places in The hands OF the
Governor power which, in our opinion,
should never be placed in the hands of any
single individual, viz The power Of des.
igDating in what portions of the State a
draft shall be made for the purpose OF fill
ing up the State Guard leaving it in his pow
er, If be sees fit, 10 draft the whole number
required from Berks, Northampton and Co.
lumbia, whilst Lancaster, Allegheny and
others 60 free.
5rd. The State OF Pennsylvania has al
ready furnished for the United States army
over 2s0, 900 men, and on The 5lh of Sep
lember will De again required 10 furnish by
draft $1,000 or 10000 more and past ex'
perience teaches rs, that the men compos'
ing The State Guard will not be exempt from
a national draft, but that on the contrary,
after getting the number required from the
State to fill up the quota, the War Depart
ment will order the State Guard TO the front
The officers will obey. The "Guard" will
be sent forward although the Governor may
gently demonstrate, and :hus Pennsylvania
be compelled Cat a great expense to her
people) to furnish more than her share Of
troops, and then without any soldiers when
again invaded, she calls upon the Federal
administration for help, will be cody told
10 defend herself.
Whilst anxious that a sufficient force
should be organized for the defence OF the
State, for these among other reasons, we
are reluctantly compelled to vote no on the
passage of this bill.

"THE TEARS OF THE LADY THAT
LOVED HIM.''

He is dead on the field of honor,
And many will weep for his fall
But the tears of the lady that loved him
Are the biiieresi tears of all.
And paeans of triumph may comfort
The land for her fallen son,
But the tears of the lady that loved him
Will fall, though the battle be won.
She'll be weeping, because of the sunlight
That's turned into shadow, and pail D.,
She'll be calling tho tears, but the soldier
: Will sleep and be deaf TO her call.
She'll seek him with tears in her dreaming
When midnight is dark on the plain,
With the finishing of dawn on the mountain
Her tears will be falling again.
Oh there's healing for grief that is honest,
In the coming and going of-years,
Blu. the good that is in the future
Is hard TO discover through tears.

How Negro Troops are Treated BY Yankee
Officers.

The N Y. Anglo African has a louisiana
correspondent, who furnishes it with the
following case of horrid ueatm ent of a me-
gro soldier by Massachusetts Yankee
Officer: The sufferer was member OF
the 5lh Mass. Cavalry. The writer says;
"We were few days ago. eye-wi iness-

The Press and the Farmers.

In the Philadelphia Press, of Saturday
last, the following made It's appearance
GAS regards the ex,or,ionale price OF but
ter the case 10 different To demand and
obtain il no ioresialling is necessary The
thing is done in The most direct manner,
by the farmers themselves, who bring this
produce into the marker generally with The
understanding for several successive weeks
past that they will put on an extra five
cents on each msrket day. Thus the price
was 65 cents on Wednesday week, 10
cents on Saturday, and rs cents on last
vance in the price of tea and coffee, sugar
and rice, and other articles of food in Or
ciBary nse, because these are taxed, and
their original purchase money is augment
ed by the rise in the price of the specie
Which pays for them, but Congress, which
has showered down taxes, by its Internal
Revenue laws upon every other cl ass, has
siugulariy favored the farmer. Neither his
milk nor his cream, his butter nor his
cheese, his corn nor his wheat, his vegetables
nor hisiruit, his pigs nor bis fowls his oxen
nor his sheep ais in any way taxed. If he
kill any cattle, swine, calves, sheep or
lambs, he may do so, for his own consump-
tion, withoui paying the usual duty upon
slaughtered animals. There is no tax up
on the manure which snriches his land
upon the horses which plough it, upon the
cereals it yields, upon the -four, meal or
bran which are manufactured from this pro
duee. The farma IS singutarty ersmpt from
tdzdtiOn. Yeti is The farmer, ungratsful ant

We predicted IN 1860 that the election Of
the Union Splitter, LINCOLN, would be fol-
lowed BY long and bloody war, that the
Constitution would be Harnpied under foot,
that State rights and Stels laws would be
violated, and anarchy prevail throughout
our once happy fand-happy until the van-
dal hands OF reckless, dishonest, tfes-
sonabIe Abolition faction took hold of the
ship of State. Our predictions were laugh
ed al, the power of the South was sneered
al, and Abolition slangwhangers made
themselves and their hearers merry at the
expense of those who warned the people
OF The impendig crisis. sectional party
was dangerous experiment WASHING
TON and others OF the early fathers had
warned Us against giving countensnce TO
any thing OF the kind, but all TO no pur-
pose The words OF departed statesmen
were forgotten or disregarde6 by the mad
fanatics who had resolved upon war, deso-
laticn and plunder. Nothing but a little
od-leiIing would satisfy them, and, God
knows, they have had blood letting in abun-
dance. Some seven or eight hundred thou
sand men, Norih and South sleep in CORY
graves, aud the end is not vet. No not yet,
and no man living has an idea when this
"wicked war;" this sanguinary contest is to
be bro u hi to q close. Mr.. Lincoln has
clares et the same time, with brazeu au-
dacity, that the war is not 10 be prosecuted
Tor the purpose OF restoring The Union, but
for the adjustment OF slavery. In viola
ton OF his oath, in violotion OF his plight
ed word and the resolution unanimously
adopted By Congress, the President insults
the people by telling them that this infer
nal war is TO go on from year TO year until
| the slaves of the South are all sci free and
negro equality established. This accom-
| pished, he will be ready TO recognize the
| South aa a separate aId distinct power.
| Mark i: Lincoln is ready and willing 10 dis
solve The Union The very hour he is sue
! cessul in the scheme nearest his heart
| the abolition OF slavery. He always was
disunionist, and he is a disunionist still.
| Twenty TWO years ago he favored I'm q
speech in Congress a dissolution Of the
| Union, and he has never changed his opin>
ion on that subject.
The war will go on then 90 long as Linz
! coin is at the head of affairs. Blood ard
| money will be called for every sixty days,
| and tho saEgrinary contest will grow tierc-
or as it progresses, until finally the people
! o. both sections will be utterly ruined in
population and in treasure. Will The peo.
| pie continue blind ?-will they permit this
bufoon Lincoln 10 60 on in his reasonable
course, or will they rise as one man and
| hurl him from the place he now disgraces :
