The CoufederateS are accused of inOrdI-
nate barbarity, in order to conceal the
despotism and criminal fanaticism of our
President. Let the soldiers remember
that Abraham Lincoln made solemn
agreement for the exchange of prisoners
of war, and broke it, because it did not
include negro soldiers, many of whom are
runaway slaves of the South. Let them
remember that all their suferings and
privations while in captivity were necess-
i,atsd by the contracted policy of Mr..
Lincoln Let them remember that their
rights, honor, and their liberty are out
ragged on account of the negro aud done
by President Of the United States.
"The negro is the idol Of Abolitionism,
The whites may die in forts and prison
camps, because the negro is not recog-
uized as his equal By the CoDfedeFates-
This fact proves that our present warfare
is weak fight for negro equality, aud
negro liberty. No evidence can be found
that We are fighting for reunion and the
Constitution. The war IS perverted and
the man guilty Of the act presumptuously
asks the sufrages of the people and of the
soldiers in the army. Let the people re
member him. Let the wives and chill
dren of the prisoners of war recollect that
be isthe fountain head of their suferings !;
and if they become widows and orphans,
that he is the murderer. Let the pris.
.oDers remember him when they eat their
last scaDty morsel; and If the people Of
this cougtry are true to themselves and
to our suffering soldiers, they will pro-
uounce him man
Hated, despised, scourged by a two-fold rod,
The scorn of millions and the curse Of God.
The above is only q sample of the uu-
merous productions of like character
that hago appeared 10 that paper, during
the war, more Of which may appear in
our columns hereafter.

True Soldiers, men wh0~ougbt for
principle and no: for pay, in the war to
put down the shareholders rebellion,
shrink from accepting nominations f0t
civil positions, when conferred by the
party whose leaders and representatives
sympathized with the conspirators. Gen.
SIocum is an instance of this fact. He
declined the nomination of the New York
cOpperheads for an important State Office.
And now We hear of still another soldier
who Indignantly rejects nomination at
the hands Of the enemies of his country.
Col S. G Van Anda, nominated for
Lieutenant Governor by the Iowa cop
perheads, on what they call Soldiers
Ticket" declines the dishonor, and
pledges himself to support the Union
ticket. How different the actions Of
these gallant aud heroic officers when
compared with that of other solOiers who
have actually crawled on their knees for
ike faVors from the enemies Of their
country Telegraph.

The most i'm portant item of intelligence
from Central America received by the
arrival of the New York is that the Gov
erOwent Of Salvador has tried ez-Presi-
dent Barrios by court martial, and that
in accordance with the sentence passed
by this court he had been shot oU the
29th of August. Is Barrios had been
delivered to the Government of Salvador
by that Of Nicaragua only on the cOndi-
ton that his life ehould be spared, this
breach of faith had naturally produced in
Nicaragua a great excitement. Barrios
was generally regarded as one Of the
ablest leaders of the Liberal party IN
Central America He was the lawful
President Of Salvador until the unfortuu-
ate war with Guatemala in 1868, in con
sequence of which he had to leave his
country. Both natives and foreigners in
Central America expressed great indig-
patton at the conduct cf the Government.

date for Auditor General.
The DoylestowD Democrat, owned and
edited be General Davis, the Democratic
candidate for Auditor General, prints an
editorial in defence of the Infamous
Captain Wirz, who starved and murdered
our prisoners at Andersonville It asserts
that the military commission, before which
Wirz is ou trial. is usurpation of power,
and that the prisoner has not been fairly
dealt with. Gen. " W. II. Davis max es
this assertion when he knows that the
testimony against the monster WiTz,
comes from Union soldiers who suffered
at Andersonvlle, who saw Wirz shoot in
cold blood, Union prisoners who could
not stand on their feet from the effects of
starvation; from rebel surgeons who saw
Wirz trample to~death Union soldiers
who were too weak to crawlon the ground
And yet W. w. II. Davis, through the
columns of his own journal, defends the
inhuman acts of Wirz, asserting that his
trial is unfair and that his being held to
trial is a military usurpation. What
soldier in Pennsylvania can vote for
candidate advocating such sentiments ?
aud may we not further ask, is there a
soldier iD the land who would fail to
scorn any officer who thus defended the
most brutal development Of the rebellion.
