The New York Militia Aban'
dOned by the legislature.

The appropriation for the armies and
support Of the militia of New York has
been striker from the appropriation bill
before the Legislature, on the plea that at
least one brigade Gen. John A. Greens oath
is disloval. The radicals in Massachusetts
once attempted 10 destroy the miliatia sysN
TEN of that State because they feared the
services Of the military in executing the
Fugitive Slave law; but Gen. Banks, then
Governor, had the sagacity to foresee the
danger of the scheme, and thepluck to frus-
trate it, He has since been landed to the
skies by these same men for the spirit he
infused into the military Of the State, and
the efficiency be succeeded in giving to the
whole system the fruits of which are seen
in the number and quality of the troops and
commanders sent from tue State to the war
If the radicals in our Legislature want to
destroy the militia of this State they had
better take warning from the fate of their
brothers in agitation in Massachusetts, and
instead of imparing tho effectiveness of our
home militia do everything in their power
to strengthen it,

Pimp-Forney ON Hum anity.

FoRNEY's Press thus speaks of Fedora
officer who had the manliness to treat his
prisoner as human being:
A NoTED GUERILLA CHIEFTAN FEAsTED
IN OUR CITY.--On Friday last, Basil Duke
the notorious guerilla chieltain and horse
| thief, arrived in this city, on his way to Fort
Delaware, from Columbus, Ohio, where he
has been kept in "durance vile" for length
of time. He was accompanied here by Maj
g L johnson, a. D. c., and guard of 4
men, by special orders of Maj Gen. Heint
zelman, commander OF that department.
Five hundred rebel prisoners arrived in the
city about the same time and were taken
to Christian street wharf and placed On
board the steamer Ashland. The Mai. was
well acquainted with this fact, and instead
of conducting Duke there, hemust needs Or
der two rooms at the Continental Hotel one
for the rebel and himself and the other for
the guards, where they could enjoy all the
comforts and Injuries the hotel affords.
numbef of the Copperheads who infesl
this city, hearing Of his arrival, proceeded
60 the room occupied by him anl the Mai,
and entered into friendly conversation
with this traitor, and at the same time, in
duleed in liquors OF all descriptions. When
tnIs was over, Chestnut street was PRONE
naded and good time had in general. Be-
fore leaving the Continental ON Saturday
Duke was the recipient of many presents
from his sympathizing friends. Among the
articles given was small bundle which the
Major did not open although exposed to bis
view.
While on their way to the depot at Broad
and Prime, the guards were obliged to walk
~ PAGES in the rear till they reached the
place when they took the cars for Delaware
city, and FROM there in boat to Fort Del.
aware, where Basil Duke was immediately
confined. Maj. Johnston then proceeded
to Washington, and the guard to this city.
Our reporter had conversation with them
1 last evening. and ELECTED the above infor.
nation. n They further stated that any
quantity of Carawba wine was provided for
all hands while on the way from Columbus
to this city, which, with other things, could
not have eostJIess than SlO0, but at whose
expense they could not inform US. The ex-
treme leniency displayed on this occasion,
to one who has been terror to all Tn on
loving people in the South, is suprising, and
the matter is of too much importance not
to be investigated.

Conservatism.

Some people seem to have got the ides
that TO be Conservative in politics mar
must be s.milk and -waterish ;'0 that wher
he talks he must whine, and when heIwritet
he must be careful not to make q point
that be must be as languid as whisky
bloated loafer with the Spring fever 70
everything he does. Now sc claim to be
conservative in our views, political and re-
ligiousR; but not after that style. We de-
sire to preserve from ruin, innovation, ipju'
ry, or radical change, the Government and
institutions handed down to us by WASH.
1NGToN, JEFFERSON, and their com patriots.
We believe that the country is being rush
ed headlong to the destruction; that the
Constitution is being trampled under pro-
fame feet, and that every barrier which pro
tsets the citizen in that which makes him
a free man, is being torn down by ruthless
hands. We believe that the freedom Of
thought, of speech, and of the press the
freedom of popular suffrage, religious free
dom, the right of private judgment the
right of personal liberty, the right Of pri
vate property under State lays, the iHde
pendence of the Judiciary, the right of trial
by Jury, the right of civil authority to hold
the military in strict subordination, are all
being stolen permanently from the people !
and that red-handed usurpers are. forging
chains of despotism for the minds
limbs of the white American citizens, more
CALLING the chains of the most in human
LAGREE that ever trafficked in human flesh
and blood. Thus believing, we shall thus
write, with the hope of arousing too
con6ding people to an appreciation oil the
magnitude of, the danger, that they may
at once apply the proper remedies for con
serving their liberties and their county
This is not time for whining apologies OF

cure no malignant diseases with whines and
snfties they take of their coats, roll up
their sleeves, and sternly apply the knife, or
their drugs, until the system Is cleansed'
and the corrupt sores replaced by sound
flesh. So must the people deal with the
body polite: the mask of usurpers must
be torn off with vigorous hand their
deep, laid schemes Of treachery to freedom
must be exposed the scalpel must be APP
Piled until their fostering corruptlons are
laid..bare to Disguised aud outraged pub
