Col. LEVI L TATE,
Frightful Picture.

The country is weary Of bloodshed; the
weight of taxation is becoming enormous;
the tide Of suffering and sorrow is every
month rising higher and higher over the
whole country. Every skirmish sets tears
to flow in q hundred households that will
not be dried for many year to come
Art, science literature and civilization itself
are suffering from this prolonged concen.
tration OF all the energies and the attention
Of one oil the foremost nations of the world
on the work of destruction. Every con.
sideration that can or ought to move Chris.
tian men calls upon US all to make great
effort now to bring this awful struggle to
close, to seal up forever this great foun-
tain of misery and bitterness.-N Y
Times.
The Times is the leading Administration
organ in New York indeed it is under
stood to be its official mouth piece. The
above frightful yet truthful picture of the
condition of or country and the fleets Ct
war, is therefore remarkable and sigui6
ca Mt. The truths it utters are such as its
allies have heretofore characterized as''loy-
al "coppery" and treasonable y and
it is hopeful sign when we see them thus
endorsed and re terated by such "loyal'
authority. 1t gives hope that the "sup.
porters of the Government" are beginning
to realize the effects and inevitable tenden.
cy OF the atrocious policy aud conduct Of
the Administration. And when that tax es
place, they will set resolutely to work "to
bring this awful struggle to close to
seal up forever this fountain Of misery and
bitterness Aud when that time comes,
woe to the bad men who have caused all
the terrible horrors of the last four years
Better were it for them that milestone
were hanged about their necks and they
were cast iuto the sea, than that they live
to realize the terrible indignation of a
people whom they have so awfully abused.

We lately had the pleasure of spending
a portion Of an afternoon with the vcner
able ex-President, James Buchanan, at
bis homo at "Whoatland." AT the age
Of 81 years he is in the enjoyment of good
health with his faculties unabated, and
hi, spirits apparently as fresh and joyous
as when we last saw him, the night before
he sailed for Englan as minister to he
Court of ST. james, twelve years ago
We have met no man that evinces a,pro.
founder interest in the affairs of our coun.
try than Mr.. Buchanan, and who is
more perfectly posted 10 all tho political
movements Of the day. Even the local
politics Of The various states seem to lie
as in charts, before his mind TO those
who are despoudeut of the ultimate re-.
demption of our countr , from the aboli.
.ion spoilers, visit to "Wheatland" will
prove great relief. Mr.. Buchanan en-
tcrtains no doubt of the final triumph Of
the Democracy, and ofthe consc 9uent sal.
walton of our country aud he gives such
reasons for this faith, as will go lar to re.
move the doubts of the most despondng.
For our own part we have never feared
for the ultimate triumph of truth and lib.
erty, nor doubted the overthrow and pup.
ishment of Lincoln and tie partizans in
his despotism. But we know Of many
who do doubt---a visit to Wheatland wo'l
go far to reassure them Mr.. Buchanan
has prepared a documentary history of
the latter part Of his administration which
will be published the coming summer. l,
will thoroughly explode the whole arsenal |
of lies which has supplied powder for
the Republican party for four years, by
the publication of documents, figures and
facts which will not and cannot be dispu
ted. Such history is most timely. 1t
will do much to unmask the hypocracy
and crime of the despots in power and to
save our counlry.-Otd Guaad.

LinColn's Last Order.

The President has, through his Secre.
ary of State, ordered that all persons
within she United States, who have, at
any time held intercoWse,or trade by sea !,
with insurgents, shall be arrester and held
as prisoners Of war till the war shall close,
or be expelled the country. In the exc.
cution of this order, persons thus holding
intercourse, or trading with the insurgents,
are divided into three classes
|. Citizens Of the United States.
9. Aliens domicied 10 the United States
3. Non resident Foreigners.
The first and second in this classification
are to bo thrown into mi ilary prison, and
he third class are to be banished.
The Ncw-York Iiass commends the
above order Of the president, as if 1t only
embraced nonresident Foreigners, thrown
on our streets by the collapse of tho block
ade-running busincss-s class of men
whose room, just now, is certainly better
than their company. But, it will be seen,
it embraces the Imprisonment of every cit
zen oflhe United States, residing here,
who has ever held intercourse with the
insurgents by sea. No exception is made.
The mere fact of intercourse is cause of
imE risonment, and inquiry is afterwards
to be made If those in confinement who
have comn ed any offrnse against the
laws ofwar.
lmprison first and investigate afterward
is Mr.. Lincoln's motto in~this matter. 1t
is clear that his iness has disturbed the
executive judgment in some way, or else

Arbitrary ARRESTS.


The following proceedings iork place in
our State Senate on the 22d March, 1865.
1t is doubtful whether anything will come
Of it. 1t will likely sleep the sleep that
knows no waking in the Committee on
the militia. Still we feel lika thanking
that hardened old sinnor-M. LowERY-
for bis omdcmnation of The act. lie thinks
the authorities at Washington are not to
blame. In this we offer with him. Ifit
is done at all it is done by their author
ity, and hence they are rosponsible-and
especially are they to "blame" for per-
hitting such ousrages to be committed in
their name. Mr.. Lowery evidently re
ferred to the case Of Naj Wilhelm, of this
county, as the victim of this cruel ty-
ranny:
Mr.. WALLACE offered a resolution
instructiDg the Judiciary Committee to in.
quire and report at the next session what
civilians not a1enable to military law are
now or have been confined under military
jurisdiction, and giving power to send for
persons and papers.
Mr.. LOWRY said he had visited q
house near the river bank ia this city and
found there twenty.seven men confined
who were neither deserters or drafted men
The authorities at Washington were no. to
blame, and he went there and appealed
and they were discharged. There were
complaints from variou, parts of The State
and bc knew of one case, that of an old
man whose son and son-in-law we're in
military service, and yet he was tried and
convicted by military court martial,
when he (Mr. LOWnY) did no, consider
him iu the slightest dislo yal.
The resolution was referred 10 the Com
mittee on Militia.

Military Courts,

We are glad to learn that a strong effor,
has been made at Washington, to have all
citizens now uuler arrest, and being held
by the military authorities, turned over to
the civil courts for trial. Ii is our firm
conviction, that the military courts have
no jurisdiction over citizens. While per.
sons who violate the provision, of the En-
rollment Act, are liable to summary arre.,
by Provost Marshals, yet it is expressly y
provided that they shall be handed over
to the custody of the United States Mar
shal, for trial before the civil courts. And
this provision is right. The American
people have ever been taught to believe,
that when accused of crime. they have q
right to be tried by jury of their coun
trymen, and they can never bo brought 10
look upon any other mode of trial, how.
ever lair or impartial it may be, with ia.
vor. We trust the Government will see
the propriety in making the order asked
for. We believe il would be strengthened
by so doing, and that the guilty would be
as certainly punished as they are now
There is surely no necessity for trying cit.
liens before military courts 10 States

The PoUGnKEEPsIE EAGLE tails the
following good story.
General MARTIN, whom most every
body knows thereabouts, was addicted 10
propensity for paying outrageous prices
for everything he bought under the i'm
preston thai otherwise it wasn't good.
Meeting one Of his old chums ore day Col
X, from Hyde Park, he Immediately in.
vited him to dinner. The colonel was
engaged, supper the same, and as he was
to leave town next day al l2, the matter
was finally ompromised with breakfast.
The general Immediately took charge >of
the Commissary Department and laid in
supply of good things. Knowing the
Colonel to be fond Of good cup Of coffee
he bought . pounds of the very best. The
grocer knowing bis customer had to charge
him an extra price.
"Now wife," said he Colonel X. will
be here to breakfast to morrow and want
you to do you best and give US drslrase
cup of coffee. Here is some bought at
80 cents pound" The old lady was
indignant at the great inroads he was
making in her household expenses and
determined to cure him, if possible, of his
extravagaRt propensites. The morrow
came and with it Col, K. A fine smok.
ing hot breakfast graccd the table. The
Colonel who drank more than usual al
lowance of Coffee, having just finished a
third cup was in high glee, and so was
the Gem raj ,admiring his appetite. "IIow
do you like the coffee, Coonel!" said the
lady. Excellent, Madam I never drank
better in my life.' The General was De.
lighted
Didn't tell you vile p said he. "li
you want the best, you must pay 3 little

cases." said the lady with quiet humor
"but in this case you are mistaken. Here
is the coffee you bought yesterday (pro
ducing the package,) "you see | have not
touched it; the excellent coffee you arr
drinking is Kent'S East /ndia to6fe, fol

The General had to back down and h

Military Trials.

The Rqttsman's Journal, the Republi-
can organ.newspaper Of Clearfeld county,
in speaking Of the citizen prisoners from
thst county held by the military au,hori-
ties at Harrisburg, says:--
"lt affords us pleasure to announce
that the effort TO which we alluded last
week, to have the citizens held 10 military
custody by the military authorities turned
ever 10 the civil courts for trial, has been
successful. The order has been made, and
those from this county will be tried iu the
United States Court at Pittsburg. We
presume they will be admitted to bail and
in the interval will be permitted to return
home
1t affords this Republican paper "plca,.
ure" that military trials of citizens are to
be stopped, SO far as CearAeld county i:
concerned, and their cases turned over tc
the. Courts and it will afford pleasure ic
oil true men if this policy is made univer
sal and the advantages and blessings of Q
lust administration Of the laws restored to
the country.
The same paper further states, thnt thc
Clearfeld prisoners have since been ad-
mitted TO bail under the authority of The
Unit States Court, and thu, permitted
to 60 home and prepare for trial If thi,
course of transferring citizen prisoners to
the Courts had been adopted in our Co
lumbia county cases, how much of suffer.

saved ! One valuable life, sacrificed by
imprisonment, would have been saved
