CopPERHEAD LOGIC. The Northern sym
pathizers with the rebels have been for long
time in state bordering OIL distraction be
cause our Government refused to allow the
rebels to wreak their vengeance upon our
black soldiers who happened to fail into Their
hands as prisoners, without restraint or re-
buke All sorts of arguments were resorted
to to show that the Government had no right
to protect its colored prisoners The follow
inc is the grave argument Of the Milwaukee
Mars upon this subject. 1t is perfectly char
acteristic of the lucid and logical reasoning
of the editor of that sheet
BY the local laws of the southern states
made without conflict with the federal con
stltution. negroes may be held as slaves
This lawful right is recognized ny the con-
stitu4iou of the United States. slave en-
listed in the federal service when taken BACK
as a prisoner is still a slave by virtue OF laws
constitutionally in force within the rebelllous
states. For our Government to insist tnal
negro slaves and white prisoners shall be
nIaced upon par, is to insist that the Con-
federate Government shall repeal the local
laws Of the rebel states-an act which that
government has no power to commit II IL
would"
Isn't that as clear as mud Who will say
after reading that, that the United States
Government has any constitutional power
right or obligation to protect its colored sol
diers who are taken prisoners, from the IN
human cruelty and ba"barism of their rebe
captors ? The idea that any laws are const5
tutiouaI5g in force in the rebellious States Is
peculiarly refreshing. Will the editor OF th'
| Nems tell us what law is recognized ant
obeyed or in force in the ''rebeIlious states,
on the ground of its being in accordance witt
| the Constitution of the United States? Again
! .'for our Government to insist that negro
slaves and white prisoners shall be placed up
Oh par, is to insist that the Confederate
government shall repeal the local laws Of th'
rebel states-an act which that government
has no power to commit if it would" |
strikes us that the confederate government
has never hesitated, whether it had the pow
er or not. to repeal the local laws of the rebe
states Or the general laws, even, Of the Uni
ted States. We cannot appreciate, as thu
Neos can, that chivalrous regard for 'IaN1

From The New York Herald, Jan. 90
| The ''SHENT-PER SHENT'' CONVENTION TO
| MEET AT CHIoAGo.-Recently proauncja-
mjsnto was issued from his house on Fifth
avenue, by the surviving administrator dc
boniS nor. of the late great Democratic party,
announcing that the National Presidential
Convention Of the remnants of said party will
be held in the city Of Chicago, on the fourth
day Of July. The assenIblage thus ordered
may not inaptly be designated the ''Shent-
persistent" Convention of the Bankrupt De-
mocracy.
From this aforesaid aristocratic democratic
establishment Of Fifth avenue the magma
ton Of the intelligent reader will naturally be
carried back to quaint antedeluvian house
in the Jttden StlGSse or Jews street, in the
old time city Of Frankfort-on-the-M ain-an
uppretending weather worn house, with
green blinds-where, once upon time we
encountered an old man saving wood next
door on one side and an old man selling roas-
ted chestnuts next door on the other side-
From that old rookery on the Jews quarter
of Frankfort-o -the-Main emerged those
'.shent-per-shent money kings of Europe, the
Rothschilds; and we have lineal descendant
and representative OF LilaG great mouse OF Is
rael in this aforesaid Fifth avenue administra-
tor Of the late Democratic party. From
Democratic Convention assembled under such
auspices we have little to expect in the way
of the resurrection Of the party. Indeed, it
has become proverb that When the effects
of a deceased individual, association or gov
eminent are turned over to my uncle, the
chances against their redemption are as ten
to one-or 4-11-44. But. setting aside this
question of der monish,' we have reason to
apprehend that the same causes which broke
into pieces the Democratic Conventions of
Charleston aid Baltimore in 1860, and pre-
the Southern States into the abyss
of this rebellion, will still work nothing but
mischief; for the same elements of repulsion
and disruption still exist in the Northern
camps of the party.

A correspondent Of the Boston Journal OH
board the gunboat jackson, at Ship island,
writes on the 18th alt as follows:
Last night at ten clock a small sail boat
came down the Sound with the very impor-
t;mt intelligence that the rebels in Fort Nor
gan had revolted, and that during the diff
Guilty the gunboats in Mobile bay attempted
to arrest the garrison of the fort. The whole
fort being i'll revolt, with the American flag
flying, they opened on the guuboats with ev-
cry gun in the fort. They succeeded in driv-
ing the gunboats oil, but were not on their
guard, and that at night large force was
sent down from Mobile, capturing the whole
| garrison with the exception OF four men who
escaped in the darkness IN a small boat and
came to Ship Island, when we heard for the
first time the astounding intelligence
Since then we have heard more Of the re-
volt from some additional deserters. Seven
ty of the revolters are condemned to be shot
to day in Mobile.
We also learn from these deserters that on
Horn Island, up the Sound, there are eighteen
more deserters from the rebel army, and that
in and around Mobile, and on Round Island,
there are about fifty descrters from the same
quarter
These deserters bring the very important
intelligence that the rebel army i'll and
around Mobile have organised secret socie-
ties and are determined to fight no longer.
1t is said that the movement was started
among the soldiers and was growing strong
er, and that many officers are comprised III

A MILD REBEL PAsrIME. B randing deser-
tiers, as performed at Castle Thunder i'll Rich
mond, is described as beautiful operation
and as humane as beautiful. The culprit is
fastened to large table, with his face down
wards, and large ,'D'' is SCARED upon his

in diameter, narrowed down little at the
point is heated to incandescence and used as

A greasy smoke 18th a sickly stencil arises
accompanied with cracking sounds and the

ing the mark of disgrace plain and indelible
but in reality to torture the unfortunate cul-
prit, the hot iron is drawn many times through
the wound, making it larger and deeper, un-

s,nte Prison Referaa.

Hon. A. G.. BARRY. Member from this
County, few days since introduced i'll the
| Assembly the following Resolutions, by
which body they have been adopted.
WHEREAS, The subject of reform in the
management of State Prisons is receiving the
earnest attention not only of social philoso-
piers but of all enlightened communities,
and it is being seen and felt by the best
minds and hearts of tho age that there is
needed a Thorough revision of existing sys-
TENS of management and discipline: and
WHEREAS, The punishments inflicted for
crime do often tend to increase it, and to har-
den offenders against the peace and safety
Of society: therefore
Resot0ed By tie Hss8m6iy the Senate concur
ring That the Standing Committee On State
Prison, of the two Houses be instructed to
consider and report upon the follow ing ques
| tons, viz:
| l. Would it not be eminently safe and of
good effects, to permit convicts in our State
Prison to shorten their term Of punishment
by good behavior?
2. Is it not of the first Importance, in or
der that we may secure the objects for which
our prisons are established, that our prison
system should be so reformed as to enable
convicts having families, to aid, by their pris
Oh labor, in the support of the same, thus hold
ing out one Of the most powerful incentives
to ref ormation?
The reforms suggested in these resolutions
seem to us such as would prove beneficial
to the prisoner and the public. The first prop
osition would surely tend to the good bohav :
Tor Of the prisoners, which good behavior bv
force of habit if nothing else, would go back
with them into society
With reference to the second one, it unfor-
tunately so happens now, that the Innocent
wife and children of a convict are the ones
chiefly punished by his Imprisonment. On
them falls the weight of his misdemeanors !;
state of things very difficult indeed to JUS
tify. This proposition will correct this. The
convict will have all the punishment the law
contemplated, while the innocent family will
not be deprived entirely of the support, which
the offences Of the head of it should not alb
solve him from rendering. The law III thus
keeping up this very proper relation between
the family and its natural supporter and pro-
tector will also keep from the community
the burthen of the support of the family.
We hope the State Prison Committee VIII
find, on investigation, that there are no prac-
tical difficulties in the way Of the adoption OF
these suggestions. They are cred table to
the head and heart Of the mo yer, and worthy
to pass into law.
