The Bousc vote upon the CONSUMPTION bill
IL 3 significant one. 1t will be remembered
that this bill 10 much more stringent tbhn
That Of 1865. It does away with the class1h-
cations and reduces The causes for exemption.
Il enrols every black man In the ohlteo
States, free or slaye with the national .mu'
tiaand thereby makes him subject OF the
government 4 citizen, man. The United
States uniform conicrs upon him the badge of
manhood and he proves hie title by his mus-

be chatteL The instant be doas armor, he
secures liberty, and from that time rises from
Lis 6cbased position Of slave to the exalted
ono Of freeman. He is henceforth to stand
upon the same footing with the white soldier
"a free man fighting for the integrity Of his
country.
Now, for the bill and its analysis- There
are eighty Coppcrhead votes in the House.
The official record sho se bnt twcnty-three
votes recorded against it. FiHy-seycn, there
lore, dodged-did not dare to vote against it.

lion is apparent and eloquently shows the
change in public opinion. It amounts vir-
tually to this: that threc-fourths OF the Cop

words, three-fourths OF the Democratic
party dare not say that the negro shall not
ccasc to be cAattcl and become free man.
Although this is day OF miraculous chances
and conversions, We had hardly looked for
this. The tough logic Of war is rapidly up
setting the fine spun theories Of the copper
heads, and VI. .ehould not be surprised at any
minute to hear Fernando Wood or any other
copperhead rise from his seat and advocate
the vigorous prosecution Of the war, any
more than We were surprised, the other day,
to hear that Brooks had announced the death
Of Slavery. They are dying confessions,
however, and before long they will find ont
that the death Of Slavery has involved the
death of copperheadism.

uon should have been in all ages an object charac-
terszed by great earnestness and excitement In
the bye-gone tines Of the old alchcmists the poe-
session OF the precious metal was supposed to be
a&tainable by its artificial manufacture, and num-
oe1'ess leeands will testify to the unanching man-
ner In which tho old philosophers threw their
whole souls into the enterprise. But the days Of
the 'philoaophcr'e stone" are past md It IL now
pretty satisfactorily proved that gold making,
though probably profitable In the imagination, Is
decidedly not 30 in praetice. So the would be

the mire, throwing the vehicle on its beam ends.
Those inside sprang ont on the upper side, and
soon gained terri Jfrmi with good wetting.-
One Of the horses sank into the mire and with
great difficulty kept his head above water they
The workmen obtained two strong chains and
fastened them to the axletree of the hind part of
the ambulance, the horses were attached to the
chains, and soon drew the vehicle out of the mud.

The Pennsylvaaians and Marylanders have
now had their annual scare" All the bells
in the two States have been duly rung; all the
citizens have duly assembled in the market pla-
ces, and duly volunteered to serve for as many
days ~ the rebels might choose to stay on North
ern soil the annual "war meeting" has been
held In Independence Square in Philadelphia,
and the male members of the audience have
made their yearly offer " to fly to arms !" the
clergy have, as their. annual custom u.s. duly
worked on the Notifications under broiling
sun" The Governor has issued his annual call
TO arms, containing his annual reminder of the
necessity Of driving the insolent invader from
the sacred soil, and letting the world see what
Is, 700 undisciplined and enraged Pennsylvani-
ans are capable of achieving. The !" reliable gen
tleman" and 'well known citizens have come in
from the 'front.' as their wont is, and made us all
acquainted with the doings ofthe rebel cavalry
the cattle lifting, horse stealing, house burning,
TO which these gentlemen are in the habit of
treating themselves every Summer, during the
hot weather, in the neighborhood of Philadel-
phia and Baltimore. In short the annual trib-
ute from Pennsylvania and Maryland to the reb-
Ell commissariat has been duly paid, and by this
time Early and his raiders are across the Poto-
mac, with at least greater part of their booty
OF course the new levies are hard on their track,
and are " surrounding and "cutting them off,"
and "getting in their rear" and slaughtcring
them, as their annual custom is 1t is we'll
known that after each Pennsylvania levy en-
masse, the butchery Of the rebels is frightful
II there be any men in the world who are
justly chargeable with all their own misfortunes,
who may be fairly said to deserve the worst that
can befall them, and for whom we have neither
sympathy nor pity, it is undoubtedly the South
crn traitors. But bad as they are, they are still
our countrymen; they and we are common an
cestors, a common lingo, common history, etc.,
etc., etc.. 30 that it is impossible for us to wit
ness their exposure TO the annual rising of the
Pennsylvania Militia without horror and CON-
passion. True, they are invaders, but they are
still men; and were they the hordes of Tanner
lane or Genghis Kahn, we could not avoid a
shudder Of pity on bearing that the "war meet
ing" had assembled at Independence Square,
and that the clergy had volunteered to work
on the Notifications" and that "the citizens
were being mustered in by companies" For
tnnassly the unhappy rebels by this time know
what 10 coming, and when they read Gov Cur
tins proclamation, generally try to save them
selves from the infuriated volunteers by flying to
the mountains. The fate of those that are not
50 prudent, is, Of course, awful.
