handsome compliment to our Yankee cous-

The white race which settles in New
England will be unable to mlintain its vita l.

Of the negro to give warmth and fulness 20

From all the accounts we have heard, the
Yankee chaplans IN the army have fully in

lovely daughters of Africa.

BEN. BUrLEE, the bully, thinks he is not
well used by the Administration. He thinks
it shame that q man of his trar scendant
military genius, who has buIlod more subor
dinates, insulted more women, and violated
more laws than any General in the service,
should be reduced TO the ndition of civil
Mayor of Old Point Comfort. This is one of
the symptoms showing that Ben. has had
his day, done most Of the dirty work requir-
ed of him, and that he is now about 10 be
whistled down the wind by Administration
which he has served with Sycophantic devo-
ton. 1t is time this monster approached his
fate. The man who voted sixty times for
JEFF. Davis President, and then turned in q
single night from being violent Secessionist
to all equally rabid Abolitionist, is marked
FIR a bad end. Nature, in the nice adjustment
of her rewards and p1nisement, eventually
overs]aughs such an individual with dread
ful and inexorab!e justice. .-Stdtesmdn.

him to lecture in; and whose address on the
occasion was listened to with apparent graf

the Adminisiratlonists in Congress, and
nearly all the shoddy arstocracy Of Wash

The Abolition organs have generally labor
ed to induce the people to believe that the
Democrats in our sou; heru border counties
gave Lee encouragement during his invasion.
The Cham bersburg Repository, edited by
Col. A. X. Mcclure, an ex-senator and prom
inent Republican politician, exposes the ma
lignant SANDER. In 4 recent editorsa! he
says:
"With very few exceptions, the people of
the border. Of every political faith, stood as
one man during the invasion, and united
their energies to confound the common foe
and in no single instance has the evidence
been at all conclusive that any Of our citizens
gave them aid, comfort or information, unless
under duress or By accident. Every effort
has been made to fix gull. on all suspected
parties, and it has uniformly failed. The
charge, therefore, that our people in any way
aided or guided the enemy, is unfounded in
fact, and the impression that seems to pre-
vail with some members of the legislature on
this point Is in no degree merited."

Mechanic. aud Farmers to Pay the Take.

The people Of this country have not yet
begun to feel the effects of tho taxation that
is in store for them. TIE value Of the real
and personal estate in the United States in
1860 was Sl7, ,000,O0O,0O0 This amount
embraced the whole Union, North, South,
East, and West. 1t must be admitted that
the amount at this time is mtch less. Upon
W hat there is left must fall the enormous
debt of $4,000, 100000. Therefore, so much
of the capital cf the country is sunk-is
worse than destroyed, because it is burden
o dead weight upon what there is left for all
time to come.
The bonds issued by the United States are
to draw interest, but they are exempt from
tdrdtion. The effect of this is that the far
mer and mechanic must pay, while the CAPT
talists who has ready cash 20 invest, escapes
taxation by investing his money in United
States bonds.
In this way this immense debt of 81, 600
100000 is withdrawn from the productive
capital Of the country, and becomes burden
upon the remainder The question naturally
arises, as to how far it is safe to carry such
q system, and have we not nearly reached
the limit aready2 The farmer and the me-
chanic pay the taxes while the rich man.
who has invested his capital in bonds, is ex-
empt and not obliged to pay cent The
rich are TO grow richer, and the poor poorer
under such sys tenn. The discrimination is
against the laboring men of the county,
Labor is taxed, while capital becomes privi-
eyed and escapes. 1t is therefore for the in
terest of every farmer, every mechanic, every
laboring man of small means, that the debt
shall not be increased. .... ..-
Already the Government mortgage upon
every farm and every house and lot is euor-
nous, and every days continuance of this
reckless Administration increases it. So
long as the Republican party continue in
power, we have no reason TO expect TO see an
end to this struggle. albany Arsws.

Abolition HYpocrisy.

The Republicans tired to expel Mr.. Long
from the house for saying that he preferred
the acknowledgment of the independence of
the South to the determination of her people.
This was his whole offence. Yet in the de-
bate upon the proposition, an Abolition mem.
Der, Mr.. Grimnell of Iowa, said:
/" | would rather say thousand times, let
the country be divided-the Sonth 60 their
way all slave and the North all free-rather
than to see the cnuntry once more under
Democratic Misrule."
This is patriotism, but Mr.. Longs remark
was treason, according to abolition logic! -
shamful hypocrisy and partisan motive of
this whole movement, are well illustrated By
this. -- .. -..-.. ....
But another little fact is equally sgnifi-

FROM sHERIDAN,s ARMY.

We have late information from Sheridan's
army to the effect that the rebel stories OF his
having met with repulse is an entire fabrica-
ton, and that beyond the breaking down Of
many of his horses necessarily by his forced
marches in pursuit OF the enemy, he is in as
good aggressive condition as when he started
fact that the enemy will speedily ascertain
for themselves, we doubt not.
Eleven hundred prisoners captured by Sher
dan at Fisher Hill and beyond, have arrived
at Martinsburg en- route to Fort Delaware.
Sheridan's movements have been 80 rapid
that he did not even have time to send back
prisoners to his rear, but was forced to carry
them along with him and feed them, making
rather formidable drain upon his supplies,
but he has now received fresh supplies, and
will soon have shorter line Of supply, as the
Manassas Gap railroad has already been re-
paired as far as Rectertown. This line Of sup
ply will also be more easily guarded, as the
Valley line swarms with guerrillas, all the
way from Martinsburg to Harrisonsburg.
1t is believed that Early is yet at Cnarlottes-

probable that the rebels will relinquish this

The latest intelligence from Gen. Sheri dan is
up till Saturday morning At that time his in
fantry were still at Harrisonburg, while his
cavalry were east Of the Blue Ridge, recon.
noitering In the vicinity Of Charlottesville.
The rebel report OF disaster to our cavalry
atswift Head Gap is untrue. Instead OF meet
ing with repulse we gained q victory, cap
tured about one hundred prisoners, and driv-
ing the rebels through the GSp, which they
had fortified.
Rock Fish and Browns Gap have been
strongly fortified by, the rebels. and are de.
Tended by considerable force. If they attempt
to make a stand there it Will be but repetition
of Fishers Hill. The position Is fiankable on
either side. 1t is probable the next informa-
ton we get from Sheridan will come via Alex
dria.
Supply trains, however, continue to 60 to
the front from this place, and as yet there is no
direct indication that Martinsburg and Har-
per's Ferry are to be abandoned as bases OF
supplies.
4 great many refugees, some rebel soldiers,
and large numbers Of negroes arrive here daily.
