Tbs St. Adams Raiders.

The London Press is down on Judge Smiths
decision in strong language, and well it may
be. The London Star says:
The people Of the United States call these
acts crimes, and by virtue of the sans treaty
as that under which we lately demanded and
obtained the extradition of Muller, they de-
Up d A tRs@ Ganada and Vermont
not at war, and when men issued from Cana
da to rob bank In Vermont and commit 9th
er atrocities, the presumption Is that the acts
are crimes and not hostilities, that the perpe-
traitors are criminals not belligerents.
The above is undoubtedly true, and Judge
Smith has shown himself to be in this decisien
aSouthern sympathizer, and taxed all bis
powers TO cover 1t up. The editor says the
Court no doubt would be crowded with Con-
federate refugees and sympathizers, and the
Judge could best show the impartiality of his
office BY abasing himself to the position of
Confederate apologist. No wonder his de-
cision was hailed with cheering by the crowd.
The notion OF Judge accommodating his de-
cisions to the political exigency Of the mo-
ment is very abhorrent to all honest minds
Such judge lays aside the balance of justice
and grasps the weapon Of partisan. We
have no patience with such incumbent of the
Bench, and the time is coming, If 1t has not
already arrived, when Judge Smith may feel
ashamed of himself, II shame is possible in
his constitution. The London Times also
condemns this decision and thinks Judge
Smith endeavored to cover altogether too
much ground. We never knew how much, if
any, of the st. Adams money he received,
and probably never shall know.

Temperance in gaccarauua.

Mr. EDITOR: In October last the Cumber-
( land County Temperance Association held its
monthly session in Saccarappa. The atten-
dance was very small, and real dissatisfaction
was expressed by some at the low state OF the
causein that place--which unfortunately was
ditto all around.
The result Of the meeting, however, was
the formation on the spot of Temperance
society for the place. That society have held
regular meetings during the winter, every
week in "Warren's Hail." which is a very con-
venient "base Of operations" for all social and
public enterprises in the village. These meet
ings have become necessity to the enter
tainment and instruction of the people and are
managed with much zeal and talent.
Having taste for true Temperance gath
erings, took occasion to drop in among them
lastevening and witness the modus operandi
Of the institution, and the visit was an ex-
eeedingly pleasant one.
The hall was periodically and tastefully
decorated with the abundant folds of aOld
Glory" having been used on the evening pre-
vious for evee, which understand is to be
repeated this evening for the benefit of the
Band recently organized in the place. This
Band favored the meeting with two pieces ad-
mirably performed.
Hon. Mr.. Haskell, the President, who is
an fat In his position, especially in compli-
n'entdry introductions, first presented to the
audience Miss Hattie Raymond, as editress
for the evening, who modestly and with adj
mirable clearness read paper filed with
original articles characterized by good sense,
appropriateness and keen wit.
Then followed carefully written address
OF half hours length, by CHARLES A.
STAcKPoLE, Esq. 1t was purely temperance
throughout, aud no one who knows the man
need be told that 1t was able, clear, and to the
point One thing we must say; 1t viii only
be when deprived of the great blessing. that
the town or community which enjoys the CO.
operation and labers of this true and fdithfal
man, will approximate to just estimate Of
the privilege.
A few remarks from visitor. not as an ad-
dition TO the rich entertainment, but as an ex.
preston of pleasure in the opportunity, clos
ed the exercises of the profitably spent hour.
May this good work, SO well began, long
continue, and may other and larger places im-
itate the god example. ***

OUR LATE PRESIDENT.
In Memorian.

sour President but few short days ago /;
bat now-oh how can we say it he is not he
is lost to us by the ruthless hand of violence !!
and for many days to come, nation will mourn
for the great, good and noble-hearted man thus
suddenly struck down in the prime of his useful
life Well may we ask-stunned and bewildered
by the sudden stroke-why did our Heavenly
Father permit such a sacrifice why are we
thus called to mourn the sad and untimely de-
parture of one who had endeared himself and
his memory to every loyal heart in America 7
But we can only say 'sgreat and mysterious are
Thy ways, oh God; and past finding out. Thy
will, not.ours, be done % Scarcely two weeks
have passed since every loyal state was rejoicing
over the victories that followed in quick success
sion, to the last gallant action of the army of
the Potomac, not only military victory Of force
OF arms and scientific maneuyering, but moral
achievement Of Right over Wrong!
None could appreciate it more than Mr.. Lin
coin; none could more fully realize its vast sig
ni6cance politically or morally, than he. But
the strong hand that guided our s'ship of state"
the far-seeing eyes that saw quicksands and
breakers in the rough sea before him yet firmly
kept his onward course till the desired haven was
in sight, and the pure. brave heart devoted to
the best and highest interests of the people
whose representative he was-have done their
appointed work, and the commander in chief of
vast armies-the revered and beloved President
OF an enlightened republic-and the poor mans
friend, lies prone and cold in death F! And if
an n, <hnsr wLafxn -
weep for him. may not we who have freely given
our husbands, sons, and brothers, at the bugle
call Of our patriot chieftain, mingle with theirs
our grief and tearsi And we who laid most
precious offerings upon the altar of eur country
twice won from the proud autocrats who in
their self-assumed power and ambition would
have trampled upon the rights of their country
men, and made their condition little better than
that Of the Hebrews Of old, or the Russian serf;
knew our country's need, and with unques-
tioning faith in God and our President, we sent
them forth to battle for the cause of freedom and
common humanity
Other nations have their kings, their rulers
and their statesmen whom men delight to praise
and honor; but we had our Abraham Lincoln
whom we loved and revered as no other man
since George Washington And history will
name them side by side, and say in fond remem-
brance Of both, that the good work which one
began in faith and trust that Right would pre-
vail, the other has perfected, perpetuated and
sealed with his own precious blood For the
costly sacrifice will not be in vain surely; while
tne thanks OF millions yet to be- and CRATE

among the few Immortal names'' enshrined in
the annals of fame, and the hearts Of the Amer
lead people, that of ourmartyred President will

Murder Of Union soIdters IN Marvlara.


BALTIMORE, May 4.
There were brought here to-day in charge
OF guard of soldiers, under Lieut. O'Brien.
two citizens of Calvert county, named DR.. N
w. Browne and VIM. Cochrane, and three
other men, on charge of being concerned in
the recent assassination of Union soldiers
stationed there. Cochrane acknowledged that
he had been for month in a starving con-
dition, which being known to Browne and
others. he was offered large sums of money to
take the lives OF certain soldiers. He accept
ed the terrible bride, and deliberately assassin
ated two soldiers, whilst they were doing
picket duty.
Cochrane received SITS for killing the first
soldier, and was to have $500 for the murder
OF the other, but was apprehended before the
money was paid.
The parties charged with these terrible
crimes were taken to Washington this after
noon, under guard, and are now in the old
Capitol prison. An examination will soon be
held.
A few nights since as Lieut.. O'Brien, Su-
perintendent Of the Government farms in the
lower counties, was riding, he was shot at by
concealed foe, but fortunately escaped His
horse, however, was killed.
The rebels in the lower counties within the
past two weeks have become exceedingly dan
gereus. They are committing depredations
on the Inhabitants and slaughterine numbers
of government cattle.

Andrew Jackson-Andrew johnson.


Andrew Jackson-Andrew johnson.
Two Presidents of the U. S. A. The arst
was the seventh President, the second is the
seventeenth. Both have the name of AN
DREw,a brother Of one Peter, Of some fame
in the world. The first was "Andrew. son Of
Jack"-the second is Andrew, son of John. .
Fifty years ago, in the old Bay State where
was born, "Jack'' and "John'' were thouobt
to be very nearly synonymous-ae a most
the same thing. The boy who went by the
name of Jack, generally aorote his name John
the latter being considered a little more re-
spectacle. The unavoidable inference from
all these facts, is, that there is no great differ
ence between ANDREW JACKSON and AN
DREW JOHNSON. Mayhap the next four
years will demonstrate that the two gentle-
men are very much alike in nature as we'll
as in name. Should this prove to be 40. Ten
nessee will be greatly honored, and the whole
country have reason to rejoice. I think i
have seen it stated somewhere, that the two
Andrews were not only political but Der
sondl friends. If so, it may be considered a
favorable circumstance, inasmuch as "brds of
feather flock together"
At any rate, let all friends of the untry
stand by Andrew johnson. He has great
and difficult work before him. He needs con-
summate wisdom, unshrinking fortitude, and
untring, unfaltering perseverance. Nav his
trust be in an Almighty arm.

never. in the worlds history, has there Deen
an instance of such abject. disgracefui ana
contemplate failure.
n q NOW about one month since the rebel
c.nital fell into the hands of the victorious
Union troops. Up to that time the rebel gov
eminent managed to keep up all the external
appearances of integrity and strength. The
traitor President occupied his executive seat,
the rebel Congress, though adjourned, was
ready to obey any summons calling it togeth-
er. Lees formidable army guarded the
strong outposts and the inner fortifcations Of
Richmond, and SO far as an outsider for
eigner-could see, the Confederacy was pretty
firmly established, and John Bull and his
French neighbor across the Channel could
feel great deal OF satisfaction in rejecting
upon the wisdom Of that forecast in the exer-
else of which they SO hastily jumped at the
recognition of the belligerent rights of the
villainous hordes who attempted to upset the
government of their fathers. SIS
But what a change has one short month
wrought in the dreams Of the Soulful Rich
mond fell, Lee drew back, and JEFF. Davis
took leg bail. Since then Lee has surrender

in despair, the rebel ram Webb-the terror Of
the Mississippi--has been blown up and its
pirate officers and men arrested, JEFF Davis Is
travelling incog. and in disguise, and re-
ward is offered for his capture and that Of his
leading confreresi
A. pleasant view this of the Confederacy
and its powers and prospects to go across the
waterl The government which England and
France were SO hasty in recognizing, Is non
est; a detective with search warrant could
not find Its head or its tail. Ithas actually
dropped out of being. Its representatives
abroad have nothing to represent. Those
who have been its aiders and abettors are now
upon their knees begging for mercy, while
the sword Of just vengeance is unsheathed
and flight or suicide alone can save from the
halter the guilty authors Of our four years o
blood and devastation. ~.
The spirit Of our people demands no re
venge, but it does insist upon justice; it ask
for no needless flow of blood, but IL demands
that examples should be made OF the chic
sinners; 1t takes no pleasure in wrath, but 4
demands security for the future, and it can ses
no security while such wretches as Davis ant
his fellow conspiritors continue to contamin

with their presence.
Surely the rebels have attained to the eli

of a struggling nation, to-day they are fugi-
