The Peoksn:ff Of the Opposition Press"

Under this caption the Bangor Eceaing
] Times gives uterance 20 some thought, which
so much better express our own feelings than
any words of ours would, that we copy the
article, giving to every word ofitour hearty
endorsement:
1t would be amusing did it not arouse a
FEELING of Indignation, to read the long hOmi-
lies on the recent accident that happened to
Vice President johnson, whereby in a mo-
ment OF physical prostration, he INDUCED in a
TOO free use OF alcoholic beverages, and un-
den its influence conducted himself in a most
disgraceful manner-if we are to believe the
accounts current in most circles. These
Pecksnifs who have seen, day after day, the
Senate OF the United States disgraced by the
drunken orgies OF two members thereof be-
longing to their own political kidney without
one word of disapproval, are horror-struck
over the mis-step oil Union official, and are
at loss for language wherein to convey their
appreciation OF the disgrace Inflicted upon the
country. From an attitude of opposition to
all modern reiorms-tempeJance, with all the
rest-we find these panderers to the tastes
andprejudices OF the great unwashed, sudden
ly transformed into the me st strait-laced Miss
Nancys, with nerves keenly sensitive to any
and all deviations from the path of strict pro-
priety For the outward seeming of virtue
they effect wonderful degree Of solicitude.
But like their nalnesake, Pecksniti, they are
arrant hypocrites, utterly incapable of feeling
what they write. They talk of national
'disgracew They to cry "shameln They to
express personal humiliation! Why, it is
simply the old story-"Satan rebuking sin !"
II is hallow mockery; and SO it will be held
by all decent people. They may roll this I'M
toward event as a sweet morse under their
tongues--they may assume an indignation
they cannot feel-they may indulge in moral
phrase to which their pens have long been a
stranger--all this they may continue to do,
and yet they will only demonstrate their own
vile. hypocrisy-they Twill utterly fail to
shake the confidence OF the people in the integ
rity, honesty and patriotism OF the Vice Presi-
dent A man who stood firm when his coun-
try proved recre ant---a man who remained
true to his country and his God, when to do
so was to risk his life. property and the
honor of thosa dearer to him than life-will
not lose the respectsand admiration of CRATE
full people by one breach of etiquette, one
false step which may never again be repeated.
or this rest assured. And those papers Of
Union preclivities which have been so quick
to catch up the story and enlarge its character,
will yet regret their hasty Judgment ITO
err Is human--to forgive, divine" It

Hiyer, that having destroyed the James River
Canal as far to the east as Goochland. He

then sent to Ashland and Gen. Devin to the

destroyed. Gen. Sheridan says the amount of
property destroyed in his march is enormous.
The enemy attempted to prevent his burning

The fall in gold affected prices generally to-
day. Cotton declined from to 5 c.; -four 25
to 30c wheat to &c.; corn l to &C.; pork
81, and petroleum So to So. Butter and
cheese, and in fact nearly every thing, was
lower. Petroleum stocks declined largely,
U. S. falling from SIT to $40. Tho day was
one Of great excitement in trade. Dry goods
likewise participated in the fall; and Stuart
was retailing cotton goods at 18c. per yard.
Gold, after a fall to 159 Ia. rose to 1850, and
subsequently declined to about 1853 IL at
the close. Stocks were very dull in the latter
part of the day; and even government securi-
ties fell considerably, although sharp rally
followed, old U. S. 5 20s closing at l08 s a
10S IL, after having touched 107 / g. Rumors
that JEFF. Davis had abdicated, and that Sheri-
dan had damaged the Southside Railroad, az
fected the gold and other markets late in the
day. Every thing seems to foreshadow even
lower rates. Money was in active demand at
about seven per cent. on call. Sterling ex-
change nominal.
