IS being deserted by great numbers, and
the entire armyis disafected. Refugees
state that people 10 hundreds Of places are
ready to accept LINCOLN; aud avail them
selves Of the amnesty proclamation. This
proclamation would be to all who choose
to accept it what the Emancipation Proc
lamatiOn will be to those for whose benefit
It is intended. Both offer freedom,
which, whether they are recognized or not,
will very speedily extend itself over the
people, to whose consideration they are re-
spectiVely addressed. There are some minds
so constituted that they are naturally de-
spondent, and view everything through a
rainy-day atmosphere. They fret about
the war, and beWail its protection. Such
constitutions are happily like angels visits.
There is a sort of dependency too, which
is entirely make-believe, and meretricious,
and which has its offspring in malignty.
This We can afford to say nothing more
about, for those poisoned arrorS never hit
now. Of all natiOnsi in the world, We have
least cause to be despondent Our history
is a circular rainbow, IN which heglaring
eolors of desire are forever becoming haT-
monized and blended with the softer
tones of expeetatiOn.-F0rney's Press.

The PerfeCtiOniStS and General
DL1 Butler. ----

In Norfolk there. is a society called
" "PeTfectioaists,9 and in their behalf some
ten or twelve of their number have lately
addressed letter to the commanding gen
eraI Of that department, setting forth their
objections to swearing allegiance to any
earthly Government. The subject was
disposed Of by General BptIerin the fol-
lowing Characteristic manner: -. = Z.
Headquarters 18Th Army Corps,
Fort Monroe, Ea., January 13, 1864.
J.-F. DozIER, E. H. BEAsELY, AND 9TH
ERs;
Gentlemen: I have read your petit
ton to General Barnes, setting forth your
objections to swearing allegiance to any
earthly Government.
The first reason which you set forth is
that "all human governments are
necessary evil, aud are continued in exis-
tence only by the permission of Jehovah,
until the time arrives for the establish
ment of His kingdom, and in the estab-
lishment of which all others will be sub
dued unto it, fulfilling that declaration in
the 18th ehapterOf Daniel and 14th verse"
You therein establish to your own sat
isfaetion three points:
First. The Government, although an
evil, is a anecessary one. Second. That for
a time it is permitted to exist by the wis
dom of Jehovah. Third. That the time
at which period is to be put % its ezis-
tence is-nNt yet come.
Therefore you ought to swear allegiance
to the Government Of the United States.
First Because, though an evil, you ad-
init it to be necessary.
Second Although an evil, you admit
thatit is permitted by the wisdom of Je-
hovah, aud it is not for His creatures to
question the wisdom of His acts. r.
Third. You only claim to be excused
when Jehovah government is substituted,
which period, you admit, has not yet ar.
rived.
o. Your ebedient servant,
BENJAMIN F. BUTLER.

Ours6Fe6teelth President.


Somewhere in the world a man is living
who is going to be the-nezt President of
the United States. But the question 10hO
is, he is second to the question lohat is he !?
We care not so much to know the name
of the man who is to take the sympathies
of the united people of these States. into
the hollow ofhis hand, to mould and edu-
cate as they allow him TO-, as to know
what are the motives which actuate him.
We do not want a man Of sentiment, as
thephrase goes, fOrBe do not need one, and
must have a man of action We MEDIA
man whose sentiments, unostentatiOusly
set forth, are such as can be consistently
acted up to day by day, hour by hour.
We want man whose bone and muscle Of
whose brain are of metallic, fibre, and the
stringspf whose heart can be swept by the
mighty rushing wind emanating from the
genius Of the people over whom he pre-
sides. We have had sixteen Presidents.
We having our sixteenth now. 0fthe
fifteen whose terms are completed; one
third have served two terms Washing
iugton, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and
jackson enjoyed the hOror of being re-
elected. For eight years each they gov
erned the United States and shaped its
destinies accordingly, while Harrison and
Taylor were nipped in the bud of their
Presidential power. All the Presidential
re- elections occur before we have proceed
ed halfway down the Presidential list.
Perhaps Abraham Lincoln will set the old
example, and make it new again.
-'~ The only man who thus far has proved
himself to the people of the United States
equal to the emergencies of the age is Abra-
ham 2LincQlnL We have past in his
career to look. back upon, and trust in. It
stands before the present as before a mir
rOr, wherein, it may be, his own premo-
nitions discern a reflection which shall
grow a reality in the future The eprinci-
pie Of Unionism, at all costs, is the foun-
dation principle which Should govern the
President. The nation has passed through
years of trouble before now. 1t had its
birth and calamity-7its foster-home was a
refuge from persecution. But no trouble
comparable to that which, for the last three
years, has devastated it, blackens the track
Of its history, and we know no man who
could have protected it in its darkest hours
with the success crowning the devotedness
of Abraham LincOln.-FOrney's Press. G

Bad Company.


One of the worst habits that per-
sons of either sex can fall into, is that
of keeping bad company. Impure
words stain the tablet of a virtuOus
mind; and the more we hear of them
the less nice becomes our sense of the
refined and pure. Too much care in
the choice of companions can not be
taken. Intimate friendship should lot
be made without due reflections; and
with casual acquaintances whose con-
duct and conversation viii not benefit
us, we should have as little as charity
and circumstances will admit. The
mind is an exceedingly delicate sub
stance, and its purity is soiled by even
the slightest contact with vice; and
when the leprous spots are left upon
it, no after regrets can wash them out;
they become a part of the individual.
An hour spent in bad company may
prove a source of regret for years; or,
worse, the stepping-stone to vice or
crime.
It is mark of great folly for man
to leave hisshome and freside, and 90
to his neighbor's to spend his leisure
hours; for his family have as much
need of his social powers as his neigh
Dor; and if in peeuniary matters he
were to adopt the same course of con
duct, giving all to his neighbor and
keeping nothing for his family, he
would soon become a bankrupt.

In the time Of our trouble, Abraham
Lincoln has had his turn of being the best
abused man of our nation. Like Moses
leading his Israel through the wilderness,
he has seen the day when every man
seemed ready to stone him, and yet, with
simple, wiry, steady perseverance, he has
held on, conscious of h0nestintentions, and
looking to God for help. All the nation
have felt, in theinereasing sOlemuity of his
proelamations and papers how deep an ed
ucatiun was being wrought IN his mind by
this simple faith in God, the Ruler Of na-
tions, and this humble willingness to learn
the awful lessons of His Providence.

A Frenchman's Report Of Affairs at
the South.

REw YORK January 24.-The
Times contains a translation of let
ter from a Frenchman, formerly in
the rebel army, dated Richmond, Jan
uary II, to a friend here. He reports
the arrival Of another agent of the
French Emperor named Martigny via
Nassau, and his mysterious conferences
with JEFF. Davis. It is known, he says,
that Jeff. has promised to recognize
the Empirei in Mexico, and promised
France aIthe advantages ofthe South
ern Confederacy if Napoleon would
recognize and support the Southern
cause. An our principal men, he says,
think, therefore, war between France
and the United States near at hand.
The writer has no doubt the plan of
making Gen. Lee dictator will be adop-
ted as the only means, to counter
act the strength Of the North. Lee
has expressed a willingness to accept
it. He and JEFF. Davis are on bad
terms, and the latter would have tore
tire. The latter is very unpopular in
consequence ofkeeping Bragg so long
in command. He has even thought
since Bragg's dismissal of giving him
command Of the army Of Virginia,
and sending Lee to Dalton; but had
to abandon his plan on account of the
great influence brought against it.
Johnston, who took command of
Bragg's demoralized army, thought
of retreating to Atlanta, but was kept
at Dalton by orders from Richmond,
that he might take advantage of a
probable weakening of the Northern
army by furloughs, and the expiration
Of the term of service. Jef7s plan is
to keep the armies on the offensive,
though Lee gave his opinion that
with the miserable condition of the
army in regard to clothing and pro
visions, it was impossible to be so.
Early's expedition was a miserable
failure, more than ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
returning hOrs de combat, having their
hands and feet frozen. The news
from Charleston, the writer says, is
discouraging. Beauregard has ex-
pressed the opinion that he could not
hold Charleston much longer, as Gil
mores guns are in a position to reduce
it to ashes in a few hours if he in
tends to do so.
One of the South Carolina regi-
ments doing duty there intended to
desert en- masse, but were prevented
by one OF them giving information.
Twenty of the ringleaders were shot
on January 4th and the rest divided
up among other regiments.
The 18th Virginia regiment was or
dered to Alabama, but refused to 90
and were disbanded and used in filing |
up other regiments-the only plan to |
avoid mutiny.
Bread riots occur almost daily in the
South. The Southern people are tired
Of the war.
John Morgan has been given com
nand of Magruder's army, but will /
be more successful than the latter.
The writer concludes that the DAYS
IF the Southern Confederacy are num-
1ered and that its backbone is broken.

The PrOfane Pilot.

All the day was the witness of his
skill and power, as he guided our little
steamer, in a low stage fthe river through
the count 'ess intricacies of the navigation
I was deeply panied witness, too, of his
dreadful profanity. Frightful oaths, in
startling frequency broke from his lips.
Yet he was kind, good natured, frank and
open hearted, and I could not but feel a
lively interest in him. I could not but
press him, as we parted, to look after his
eternal welfare, put in such jeopardy by
his wicked life. He fetched my exhorta-
ton to an abrupt close by the reply I!
" "Strangerl a man that pilots stern
wheel steamer on this river, ought to 60
to heaven anyhow "
Are there not many who have as absurd
self.righteous schemes of reaching heaven
as this profane pilot on the Father Of
Waters p Congregatioualist
