Already The rebel editors are finding
where the BbOs pinchsst Ia the @onstFous
theory Incorporated into their government,
viz: the right OF secession by state. The
editor of the Register evidently sees what
speculative folly it is to think of building
up any thing stable on such foundation.
Hence he asserts the supremacy of the gen.
eral over the state government. But this
political dilemma is one of the smallest Of
the present troubles. We should think, OF
the rebel editors. Their precious carcasses
should be absorbing their chief concern,

Sherman and Grant will soon solve all their
ugly suarls about the co.ordinacy of ST ate

ABOLIS

We clip the following item from the
Cepelund Herald's dispatches of Monday
last
FISHERMAN is everywhere laying waste
the country with fire and sword"
We ask, is this the purpose for which
the wal is prosecuted? Must the Amer
can people lay waste ''with fire and sword"
their own land, and make what was once
their pride a desolation? Surely, every
act of the party in power goes to show
that it is for this purpose, and no other,
that the wal is carried on. True, the
army is destroying the country, turning
helpless women and children put of doors
and burning their houses and desolating
their homes; but this is all right, says
the gloating Abolition fend, for the war
must be prosecuted until the negroes are
freed. Go to the valley of the Mississip-
pi, and where are the beautiful fields that
four years ago were laden with their rich
fruits In the language Of the Herald,
"they are laid waste with fire and sword"
And for what /? For the freedom of thu
negro and the enslavemcnt of the white
man.
Thus, this unhoIy JOHN Brown raid
of blood and desolation is carried on from
year to year, and yet the people have be-
come SO dormant that they lie still upon
their backs and see their brothers and
sons carried away to the slaughter houses
of SHERMAN, GRANT & Co., that, as says
the Herald. they may Everywhere lay
waste the country with fire and sword"
Whoever beforo..heard of a free people
laying waste their own country? And
yet our war friends think this another
laurel in SHERMAN's wreath of glory; but
we consider that wreath q bloody one,
plucked from the wasted country, and
mounted with the diamonds that were
bought with the blood of his fellow men
and the tears of widows and orphans.
Can a people be made to love each 9TH
or when one portion of them are "laying
waste the country with fire and sword ?"
No, they can not. AS long as one of
them remains. alive they will fight for
heir'property and fresides. You can new
er subjugate a free people. Then why
why prosecute this inhuman, wicked and
Abolition war; Why murder
any more men, women and children, and
their homes. Yet the "Loyal
blood hounds gloat like demons
SHERMAN is destroying every
thing "with fire and sword" How long,
oh, God, how long win this hellish work

The Russian Police.

Aletter from st. Petersburg, in an En-.
glish paper, mentions an extraordinary
affair which lately occurred in the town
Of Orel, in Russia. A great local land
owner had . large sum Cforty-three thou
sand silver roubles1 to receive through
the police Office of that town. On apply
ing for the amount he was told that the
money could not be handed over to him
unless he presented the officer with five
thousand silver roubles. He refused, and
Immediately reported the case to st. Pc
tersburg, and the money was paid over to
him. But on the evening Of the lsame
day, as he was quietly smoking in his
study, a loud ring was heard at the bell.
The servant on opening the door was in
stantly pinioned, aud four men, their
faces covered with black Grape, rushed
into the room. The land owner asked
themFwhat they wanted. They plainly
told him he must hand over his forty
three thousand roubles. With the great.
est GOODNESS he went over to his strong
box, opened it, seized a revolver, which
was laid on the top shelf, and shot two
Of the robbers dead, the other two imme-
diately taking to their heels. He then
sent for assistance, the police, &C., and
on the Grape being removed from the
faces Of the dead men, they wero recog-
'nized as the head Of police and his Sc
cretary.

THE NEXT

The LINCOLN Congress will convene on
next Monday. It will, in all probability,
repeal the substitute clause of the Con-
scription Oil, andithen every man who is
unfortunate enough to fall a victim to the
wheel of death, must either go, or-do
something else. We would prefer not
going. This work of murder and desc
lation has gone too far already. 1t is
time that the American people should
arouse from their lsthargy, and, knowing
their rights, maintain them at aUhazards.
We would rather die freemen, than be
the slaves of a miserable, Abolition Des-
potism. LINCOLN will carry on his I'M
holy crusade against the institutions of
the South, just as long as the people will
be led, like bullocks to the slaughter, to
the field of carnage. Have not enough
of our country's noblest sons been sacri-
fed on the CORY fields of battle to satiate
the thirst for blood of the Abolition de-
mon ? or must thousands and hundreds
of thousands more innocent victims be
dragged to the bloody fray, by an odious
CONSUMPTION, to be butchered by GRANT
& CoMPANY? Let the people say to
their servants-slaOes, if you please
'sthus far shalt thou come, and no farth-
er," and If they do farther, "wel.
come them with bloody hands to hospit-
able 'graves." Let the despots in power
tread lightly, for there may be a volcano
slumbering beneath them that may burst
forth in all its fury, and then it would
be better for Lincoln and his hirslings
had they never been born
We shall have more to say on this sub
ject at another time, but in 1.-THE mean
while, we say to the people, as they val
ne life and liberty, "keep your powder
dry"

An Extraordinary Case.

A soldier in Sherman's army with
throat cut from ear to ear, was thought
to be MORALLY wounded, by a council of
surgeons ; but the one under whose i'm
mediate care be was, thought he was JUS
tilted in making an experiment for the
good of others, at the same time having
great hopes of saving the MANI He first
commenced by cutting through where the
two upper ribs meet the sternum, and
through his %oriice. for forty days, he has
been fed five gallons of milk persweek,
and sometimes his appetite required Eve
per day. He is fat and hearty, and the
surgeon thinks, in two weeks, he will
have him able, and the inside of his
throat Sc nearly healed, as to allow him
to swallow by the natural passage. He

How to Prevent wet Feet.

A writer in the Mechanics Magaziae,
who says he has had three pairs of boots
last him six years, and thinks he will not
require any more for six years to come,
tells how he treats them.
/ put a pound each of tallow and resin
in a pot on the FIRE ; when melted and
mixed apply it hot to the boots with a
painters brush, until neither the sole nor
upper will soak. any more. If it is desi-
rous that the boots, should Immediately
take apolish, dissolve an ounce of wax in q
te~aspoonful of t~urpentine and lamp black.
A day or two after the boots have been
treated with the resin and tallow, rub
over them this wax and turpentine, but
not before the FIRE. Thus the exterior
will have a coat Of wax alone, and shine
like a mirror. Tallow and greace become
rancid and rot the stitching or leather
but the resin gives it an antiseptic quality
which preserves the whole. do.
