great ledger of blood, it accords better with
our actual knowledge to say that gthe war
has been protracted by the joint influence of
administrative ipcapacity on one side, and
stiff necked obstinacy in rebellion on the
other. The Bible in answering The question
whence come wars and fghtings among

than that discovered by the marvellous piety
of our grotesque Pres ident. if the sin of
slavery calls for this particular form of ten-
gcance, how does il happen that though sla-
very has, till quite recent period, been uni
versal, this is The only great war, in all the
records of dcsolatiou, in which slavery has
made such a figure? 1t is but few centu-
rles since slavery was universal, tn roughout
Christendom hut the mode of its abolition
in most European countries were so quet,
obscure, and gradual that the diligence of
historians is scarcely able to trace it. Does
not Mr.. Lincoln think that the Being whose
character he so riously depicts is also the
God Cf the Eastern Hemisphere

that belong to the pro vince of craftsmanship,

that which ascribe5 the melancholy caused by

THE 'LEvELING" PRocEss.-Among the

other acts and measures of a similar charac-
teri Ras been proposed to electa negro to
the Mayoralty Of Georgetown, city within
sight of the Capital of the United States
The ''colored gentleman" proposed is .sAl-
fred Lee, Esq, an extensive dealer in horse
feed on Bridge street." The "loyalty" of
the candidate is considered unimpeachable
and his color is of the deepest, darkest and
most beautifully black.

How to Judge the weather by the Sky.

The coors Of the sky at particular times
afford wonderful good guidance. Not only
sunset presages fair weather, but there are
other tints which speak with equal clearness
and accuracy. A bright yellow sky in the
even ng indicates wind pale yellow, wet !;
a neutral gray color const tutes an uniavofa-
BILE one in the morning They are 'uI' Oh
meaning in themselves. If their forms are
soft, unde fined and feathery, the weather
will be fiue if the edges are hard, sharp and
definite it will be foul. Generally speaking,
anv deep, unusual hues betoken wind or
rain when more quiet and delicate tints
bcspeak far weather. Simple as these max
inns are, the British Board Of Trade has
thought fit to publish them for the use of
seafaring men.

DEATH OF THE GOVERNOR OF DELAwARE.-
Hon. William Cannon, Governor of the State
of Delaware, died at Dover, on the 1st inst,
after a short illness. By the death Of Mr..
Cannon, the Hon. G. Salisbury, Speaker of
the Senate Of that State, is called to fill the
gubernatorial chair Of gallant little Delaware.
Mr. Salisbury is a man of decided ability, of
high social standing, of unimpeachable integ-
rity, and his assumption at this time of the
duties connected with the highe st civil office
in his native State, is an event full Of interest
and hope to the people.

Reduction Of our Quotas.

The editor of the Columbia County Re
publican, with Col, Freeze, of Bloomsbury,
aud ud.e Mercer, Of Towauda, lately paid a
personal visit TO Provost Marshal General
Fry, for the purpose Of getting, reduction
of our quota to something near what it
should be.
As it now stands, there are not enough
men liable to enrolment and duty, to fiji the
quota assigned to the district; allowing the
one hundred per cent, for cases of exemption.
These gentlemen were informed by Gen.
Fry, that he could not grant the relreI sought
for ana referred them to the President.
ue-good naturcd old soul-told them a
story or two, but did not agree to reduce the
quota. They were by him sent back to
Fry. Fry seems to have had 'other fish to
fry." So their mission was bootless. Messrs.
Buckalew and Tracy aided the committee in
their efforts but TO no purpose. Hopes are
entertained by some OF the more sanguine,
that the quota will be so far reduced as not
to draft any more men than there are men
to be drafted This, certainly, will be mag
unanimous on the part of our rulers, We
can hardly see where the men are to come
from, for subsequent, and supplemental drafts;
unless the old boys, young boys, crippes and
buStecdS are called upon to lay aside their
dis abilities and infrmities, for the musket
and knapsack.

Our Maudiin Vice President.
From the Philadelphia Lcdger1

The saddest spectacle attending the inau
guratlon at Washington, on Saturday, Was
the Vice President OF the country standing
before an assembled multitude of his fellow
citizens endeavoring toaarticuIate maudln
speech but unable to do so inteliigihy.
There have been shameful exhibitions in
public before by men occupying positions
and places of honor, but on no period Of our
political history can there be found one so
which so degraded the high Office the people
had assembled to honor. The Senate, blush
ing for the scene. Immediately ordered the
bar for the sale Of liquors to be removed -
bnt this does not remove the public disgrace
Of the spectacle. 1t is painful to have to re-
fleet IN terms Of censure upon persons eXalt-
ed to the highest favors Of the republic; but
the only way to correct bad example in
such positions is for the people to condemn
the open improprieties of their public ser+
wants and held them to just accountability
for their public conduct. To slur over such
instances is to nave more feeling for the in
vdual than respect for the position he occu
pies.
