JOSEPH Holt, who holds some hitherto
unheard of Office at Washington, such as
High Inquisitor or Grand Judge Advocate,
has prepared a stupendous electioneering
document about the ''Sons of Liberty" "out
west" several pages of which were tele-
graphed last night from New York to the
Western press. 1t is excluded from our
columns on account of its dubious charac-
ter, and because our columns are filled with
something of more interest than Abolition
roorbacks. The foundation for this new ex-
ploslon of an old gun is discovered to be
the same as that upon which BOBBY Briga-
dier CARRINGroN based his sensational ex-
posure last summer, CARRINGToN having ar
rived at his information by violating other
peoples letters, and listening at key-holes.
The story has been properly exaggerated
in its passage through Hours hands,
and now comes out as a new and full
blown conspiracy of the first magnitude,
the material from which it is manufactured
being the same used up stock manipulated
by CARRINGToN. HoLT estimates the num-
Der of men engaged in this conspiracy at
zone million fighting men," a pretty re-
spectacle number at least. It is singular
that with this stupendous number of men
engaged ina secret plot, there is nobody
who knows aman belonging to it--and this
one trifling fact-is sufficient to explode the
whole fabric Of Mr.. Hours political soap
bubble, and reduce SEwARD's Meal-Tub
plot to the ashes from which it was made.
They have model Judge in Tennessee
and a simple way of dispensing justice.
The Judge Is named M. M. BRIEN, and his
style of doing business is this: When a jury
finds ayerdet against his wish, especially
il there Is anigger against white man in
yoIved-the Judge being on the nigger's
side--tle bench orders the jury under arrest
iorrontempt of court and decides the suit
ID favor of the nigger, himself When the
counsel expresses wish to enter an appeal
to the Supreme Court BRIEN fines the coun-
sci SIS, aud sends him to the guard house
until IL is paid. BRrEN is an appointce Of
LlscofN, and an ultra loyal nlan. He is
probably a candidate for the vacant Chief
Justiceship.

GEN. BANKS, writing of the negroes of
Louisiana, says: /" Of 33l, ,726 slaves in 1861,
only $4,000 have died." This is pretty
fair showing of the effects of Abolition phi
lanthropy upon the negro-one-quarter of
those in State having died in three years.
Only twelve years of Abolition rule is re-
quired to exterminate the unfortunate
race under the garb of New England phi
lanthropy. 1t is time the negroes should
appeal to God to protect them from their
friends.

INDIAN STYLE OF VoTING.-The mode of con-
Quoting elections among the Passamaquoddy
Indians is somewhat peculiar The voters in the
tribe election day assemble outside the hall
In which are the candidates. each standing in a
corner of the room and never than four
candidates are allowed, because there four
corners to the room. A guard is placed at the
door, and voters are admitted only one at time
He enters the hall, goes up to the candidate of
his choice, and says, ST vote for Sockalexis," or
whatever the name may be, and then takes Oft
his cap and drops it at the candidates feet shakes
hands with the candidate, and then retres.-
After all have been admitted the caps count
ed, and the candidate that has the greatest num-
Der of caps is declared elected.

jackson on Spectators.


just before President Jackson retired from the
Presidency, he told Hon. James Guthrie of his
characteristic method of dealing with men who
undertook to deal improperly with the exigen-
cies of their country. Contractors followed
General Jacksons army far into the Indian
country, and when the army began to suffer for
provisions, some of these dealers began to ask
fabulous prices for their provisions Jackson
was at length informed of their extortio nate de-
mands, and he summoned them before him and
attempted an appeal to their patriotism. He
found that soil perfectly sterile. AT length he
ordered a body of officers to appraise the goods,
and allow the owners liberal profit, and then
he showed these owners the appraisement He
offered to take their provisions at this appraise-
ment. They refused to SELL and Jaskson, de-
termined that his soldiers should not starve
ordered the rations to be distributed, and faith
full account to be kept.
AS soon as the owners saw their provisions
disappearing, they waited upon General Jackson
and agreed to accept his terms. Everything
went until he offered in payment United
States treasury notes. They refused to take
them, and demanded gold. He then ordered a
file of soldiers to be detailed, two of them with
axes to place the unpatriotic owners on the fiat
boats on which their goods had been stored
General Jackson said that after he had placed
them on the boats, he made what he told them
was his last appeal, and at the last moment they
consented to take the treasury notes. He paus-
ed at this part of the statement until Mr.. Guth-
RE asked him what he intended to do in case of
persistent refusal. The old patriot replied that
he would have ordered the two soldiers armed
with axes to cut the cables, and the fellows on
board might have fioated to hell or Texas he
would not have cared which," He said: "a
gagged in not fit to live" We heartily
say amen to Old Hickorys patriotic sentiment
We regret that he is not here now to pack I'M
patriotic currency gamblers on fatboats and
float them off to unknown shores.-LouisUille

OUR FLAa.-It is streaming there! Far above
our heads, the summer midnight air catches it's
blessed folds and wreathes them amid the moon
light and starlight. 1t floats above us like an
angel of mercy. Man and women breathe out
all the poetry of their patriotism in surveying it.
The wanderer returned from distant chimes
weeps holy tears sheltering himself beneath it's
folds. And why? Because that flag, the insig-
ma all that is noble and grand in the history
of humanity, has become to him during the last
few years thousand times dearer in the prom
Use of universal freedom it holds out. The flag
is the friend of freedom. 1t is the texture and
the robe in which independence should array
herself. It's colors are those which persuade un-
to submission every rival of the sea and land
1t is our oacn flag. The winds of heaven love to
lay hold 1T; all that is lovely and of good re-
port dwells within its folds. The geanology of
the Republic dwels within it's stars and stripes
Wherever it floats there is liberty and indepen-
dence.-W Washington Chronicle.

BRADLEY JOHNSON BURNS HIS HOMESTEAD.
When the rebel General Bradley Johnson en-
tered Frederick Md, he directed his steps to his
old dwelling, where he and his family once re-
sided. He found his homestead occupied byA
Northern man who had purchased it from the
Government. He asked for the occupant, who
appeared, and, after few pertinent inquiries,
Johnson informed him that he was the rightful
owner of the house, and at once demanded the
rent of 81, AGO. at the rate of 500 per month"; the
man having reside in it for fourteen months.
He gave him thirty minutes to collect the rent,
which was done. Bradley asked him if he wanted
areceipt. The occupant said he did not and then
Bradley gave him two hours to move his goods
out which being done, the house was set on fire,
and in a little time was a mass ofruins.

the following incident: hGe1
+" In the city during this time the excitement
gradually becoming general. Few people
until Monday night, 10th inst, realized the pres
ence of large force of Rebels Immediately in
front of the city. The President, Secretary
Stanton, General Halleck, General Augur, and
several other general officers were lkeenly alive
to the emergency, and activity could be seen
every hand. Riding down to the river to see the
landing of the heroic old Sixth Corps that had
come up from the Army of the Potomac to our
relief noticed the President and Secretary
Stanton both on the wharf and consulting with
the officers of the Corps. In a brief time these
veteran troops passed up Seventh street through
the city amid cheers and the waving of flags.
and were soon at the front-for IL front was not

who have been in so many hard fought battles,
I cite an incident. Stepping up to some of them
I inquired, Boys, where are you going? To
see the Rebs,' they replied unconcernedly and
in turn asked what Rebels were in front. I told
them Ewell's troops Good said one, lis the
old fellow in posishs' Not exactly understand

one. I told them that Ewell was not in 'posish

interest in seeing old Ewell wiped out I rode
on to Fort Stevens.

landscape looked most lovely The veterans
evidently admired the beautiful ground ON
which they were to deploy. They came on Il
rapid march, passed the fort and in fifteen
minutes were in the open fields firing away, and
actually forcing back the Rebel lines. Some of
the militia who had thus been relieved came
back, and heard one of them say that the way
those Sixth Corps fellows went into the skirmish
frightened them almost as much as it did the
Rebels. The earnestness of the boys was soon
evinced by some of them being brought wound
ed to the rear. They all said the Rebels yelled
at them, recognizing them as veterans and soon
finding out that it was the fighting Sixth

say the war is failure. Do they congratulate

thing. Do they sympathize with the widows

If SO, have failed to see them. / want any
man to tell me when Pendleton or Vallandig-

the lines, or Wood, or Rynders, or Belmont, or
