The last pla"e we hear of these bene-
factors of negroes and women, were at
the first annual commencement of a medi-
cal college for females in the Broadway
Athenieum formerly the church of the
Messiah. The church was filed TO over
flowing with womens rights men and wo-
men. The degree of NJ. ID. was con-
terred on fifteen females, and Horace and
Henry made both flaming speeches, and
regretted very much that stumbling blocks
were placed in the way of females. in
attaining the medical profession Horace
ro'hesicd that in less than twenty years
females mould be the leading physicians
of the country. Beecher said he would
say that they should have a chance, that
the stumbling blocks should be put out of
the way, and if they wish TO make doe
tors of themselves let them try it. When
the aristocracy, such as the duchess of
Switzerland or the dutchess Of Devonshire
wish to have woman's rights or any other
rights they will have them.

fering for want of operatives the COM
panies must man the roads with such as
they can get and the consequence is that
more lives are lost of the travelling COM
munity since the drafting. business COM
menced. than had been done for many
years previous. This is part and parcel
of the universal decay, ruin and degrada-
ton of the country. Nor IS IFS downfall
of morals less visable in the community,
than in a physical point of view. Men
who would heretofore shudder at the idea
of cheating, stealing, Icing or perjury, 60
at it now with unwashed hands. They
will steal, lie and commit perjury with
regard TO contracts, substitutes and ex
emptions, and many of them think they
are not doing wrong, as they have to do
these things to save themselves. They
have adopted the theory of the Govern
ment, when they tramped on the Consti-
tuition, and abrogated the rights of the
States and the citizens. Military ne
cessity," this suits all purposes and is a
universal panacea for all moral or political
diseases. There can be no mis,aking the
signs of the times. Our country is gone,
irretrievably lost. if a kind Providence
will not interfere in our behalf and avert
the danger that seems to hover over a
ruined and broken down country. We
can with the utmost truth exclaim in the
words of favorite poet.
Alas for our country her pride has gone by.
And the spirit is broken that never would
bend.
O'er her ruins her children in secret must
sigh,
For Ills treason to love her and death TO
defend.
Unprised are her sons till they learn to
betray,
Undistinguished tley live if they shame
not their sires, @
And the. torch. that would light them to
edignity's way,
Must be caught from the pile where our
country expires.

of thousands cannot much longer be de-
Iaycd and it may already have been
reached. That the struggle will be bitter
and the sacrifice of life dreadful, is not to
be doubted. Sherman is an educated and
accomplished general and his victorious
iegions will not permit their well earned
laurels TO be torn from their brows with
out a fearful effort, while on the other
hand, the veterans of Johnston and Lee
will fight with all the energy of despair.

the war and restore peace. We think

Central cars. As previously stated, these

OF the party engaged in this dnshing and
brilliant enterprise we learn the following
incidents of the capture: The party cross
ed the Potomac in front of the town at a
late hour on the night OF the event and
capturing the only sentinel to be seen,
induced him TO divu!ge the countersign.
The main body Of the detachment was
then posted III a convenient position, and
the lieutenant commanding, with several
OF the men, boldly rode into the town.
which was garrisoned by over four hun
dred federal troops. The headquarters of
General Crook were at one hotel and
those Of General Kelly at another, and
their locations being duly made known by
the captured sentinel, the daring parti-
sans made their way to those Of the for

The Coming Struggle.

AT no period since the commencement
of the rebellion, have the armies of the
North and South occupied positions, more
certain TO bring about succession of
bloody battles, than the present. Repub-
hcan soothsayers may predict the utter
annihilation of the Confederate armies
from the recent reverses they have sus-
tanned, but the wish is father 10 the
thought. Ever since the fall of Fort
Sumpter, Seward has announced the
speedy downfall of the rebellion and has
periodically drawn his drafts on popular
credulily, in favor of that event, payable
ninety days after date. His misfortune, as
well as that Of the lesser lights of his
party, has been like CaSScnll'us who was
eternally uttering prophesies but was
never once believed. As a military seer he
has become the butt Of his own country
men as well as the laughing stock Of all
the statesmen of Europe. The eyacua-
ton by the rebels, of Savannah, Charles
ton and Wilmington does not necessarily
cripple or weaken the strength of the
Confcderates, but simply enables them to
concentrate all their available forces. for a
more vigorous and determined resistance.
That they are thus uniting all the scattered
fragments Of their armies and throwing
them into North Carolina, to arrest the
progress O. Sherman towards Richmond. is
evident from all the information we can
receive. Grant and Lee confront each
other III the Immediate ncighborhood of
Petersburg. Judging from former failures,
neither can dlslodge the other and if
Grant makes an attack on Lees right, it
will be for the purpose of keeping Lees
army in Stctu quo and prevent him from
sending rcinforcements to Johnston. We
have no news of Sherman's movements
since he occupied Columbia the Capital
of South Carolina. That he did not
march on Charlotte in North Carolina. a
town which is directly North of Colum-
bia, is proVp from the fact, that Johns
toms headquarters are, or were few
days ago, at the former place. AS Sher-
mans great object was to form a junction
with the forces under Schofield and
Terry, he has most likely marched in
north easterly direction from Columbia,
with design of effecting the junction
either at Fayetteville or Goldsboro.
Whether lie will succeed in doing SO or
not is mere matter of conjecture. If
he does then in our opinion, the evacua-
tion of Richmond becomes a military me-
cessity. But if Lee can reinforce Johns
ton by way of the Richmond and DanviIle
railroad and in the meantime successfully
hold Grant at bay, then Sherman's DO
sltlon may become one of great peril
Richmond is the stake played for and hu-
man lives the dice that are thrown. The
awful pause between the life and death

Decay OF Our Country.

Wherever we turn our steps through
this once favored land, we see palpable
evidence of our country's downfall. A
great many of the bone and sinew of the
country, the real producers, have left,
many of them to return no more. Our
agricultural population is now composed
of old men, cripples, women and children.
In some of the townships in this County
there are scarcely as many men left as
would keep the fences and farm in good
order without cultivating the soil at all.
Every man within the age of I-incoln's
grasp without physical debility who was
not able to purchase a substitute or who
had not paid his money in 1869, has
either enlisted in the army or left, for
parts unknown Many even who were
beyond the Administration, young men
of intellect and industry have gone to
Mexico, and left this Government which
was once the pride and boast of the civil
lized world
1t is a sure indication of a nations de-
cay to see the young. the stalwart and
healthy leaving the hearths and the graves
of their fathers, the associations of youth
and the endearments of home and friends,
TO better their condition under another
government where every disadvantage
awaits them for some time, even the Ian
guage is strange to them. This they are
fully aware OF, but they are aware also
that energy and industry will in a short
time surmount all these difficulties Nor
would they have gone had there been one
single ray of hope left to them that this
country would ever be what it once has
been. They saw aud felt that no people
on the face of the earth was ever so
shabbily used by government, as the
people of these States have been for the
last three years. The Government en-
tirely impoverished this County by taking
communication from them. Every dollar
they could scrape up was handed over to
the Government, and after that was done,
the men are either taken into the army or
exilcd TO foreign land If any man of
any party had been placed at the head of
this Government, and selected "A Cabinet
from the worst men to be found four years
ago, we would consider him making good
destructive progress 10 have changed the
country so much it has been in these
few years We can't ignore the facts,
but we blame nobody. 1t has not come
to the worst yet, we fear that the North
AS well as the South has a hard destiny
IN store for themselves. Every producer
that has left the country takes So much
wealth out of it. Every one Of this class
that goes takes his labor out of the
country. What is greenbacks compared
with bone and muscle ! 1t is rags, in
di9o and iampblack, and one strong arm
Is worth Il ship load of this stuff. We
see the evidence already of a great want
OF cutivators Of the soil even in this
County and while it is visible here il will
be much more so in other parts of the
country, for this never was much of an
agricultural County. All the other
branches of industry are suffering in the
samc way.

Many instances have been given by travel
