Whatever status may habe been claim
ed, heretofore, for the rebel cruisers that
have committed such depredations on
commerce, there can be ne difference OF
opinion now If they were to be treated
as belligerents that time is past. If they
ever had a country to represent, that
country is now under the rule of Federal
authority. If they ever had a flag, that
flag has been lowered before the starry
banner Of the Union. If they ever had
master to serve, that master to-day is as
completely a fugitive as ever Booth was,
running for his life, with the aggregate
spoons Of all Richmond in his pocket
If they ever had government, that gov
ernment is scattered all over the South,
without local habitation or name. =
Now then, if never before, these lovers
become simply pirates, IN the plain ordi-
nary acceptatlun of the term, and should
be SO dealt with. Their numbers are 80
reduced that they are no longer of very
much consequence, but stroke of the
Executive pen will now sink every pirate
ahoat. An official declaration of their
true status will now be recognized and re-
spected by every power in the world and
sanctuary will no longer be given to trai.
tors 1t becomes as much the duty of an
English or French ship to sink pirate
flying the Confederate rag, as if she were
threatening the commerce of England or
France The "Stonewall' has probably
reached the West Indies by this time,
where she will hear of the collapse of the
rebellion, and it would be wei. if she
could hear too the ultimatum of our Gov-
ernment, solemnly declaring that there is
but one punishment in store for pirates,
and that-death without mercy.

HIGH TAXES.

The most severe and burdensome taxa.
tion we have, is that brought about BY
drafts ; because it is levied on all alike,
the poor man suffers equally with the
rich. If be is drafted he must 70. To
get out Of it he must give the last dollar
he has got, aud subject his family to hun.
ger and distress to meet il. Every thing
the poor man consumes in the shape Of
raiment or eatables is taxed. He is tax,
ed on every mouthful he eats, and on ev.
cry thread he puts on bis back,-iu fact
every luxury Of life, including the all
he breathes and the light of day almost,
is faxed in some shape. The result Of
Abolitiopism is fast developing itself, and
tie day is not far distant when poor men
will see aud feel the effects Of the work
ing Of those who claim to be the pool
mans friend. The die is cast, and the
doom Of those who arc poor is sealed fol
o time.

THE AsrENDMENT.

-
Tho Abolition amendment TO the Con-
stitution has been brought to a stand still,
BY the refusal Of the Legislatures Of Del
aware, Kentucky and Jersey refusing %
ratify it. In order to legalize this mig
ger amendment it was necessary that one
Of these three States should ratify it, to
make the necessary two-thirds required
BY the Constitution in such cases. II
will necessarily stand as . mere matter Of
niger legislation until enough Of the
Northern States become abolitionised to
adopt it under the requirements Of the
Constitution, and will forever stand as .
monument of the wicked objects Of the
party in power. Those three States may
be proud Of the action Of their legisla'
lures in refusing to become partieep'
criimiiniis with other States. in ratifyine
this unconstitutional, Niger legislation,
Those ratifying it may well be character
lied as vaging waves Of the sea, forming
out their " shame, and to whom ia re
served the blackness Of darkness forever
The time will come, and is now, wher
snch legislation must DO looked upon Of
unjust and wicked.

THE REIGN OF TERROR.

that for the past four years has spread
desolation far and wide over our land,
has robbed homes Of the loved ones, made
graveyards Of the fertile fields Of the
South, destroyed the rich dwellings of
American citizens, stolen the liberties
Of the people, trampled upon the rights
Of freemen, wasted our treasure and muir
dered our couutrymen, is established for
four years more. The affairs Of the coun-
try are placed in the hands Of the same
man under whose Administration and d.

Of haJsas corpus, has been torn from the
people, who has caused the birth right Of
American citizens, the right Of free
speech, who has violated aud set at
naught that sacred instrument, the Con.

TIE DRAFT.

Montgomery Township is still not out
of the draft, owing to the fact that about
one hundred Of those who are liable to
draft, refuse to sign over or order Mr.. j.
O. JENNINGS, Treasurer Of the Military
fund, to pay W their subscription, in
his hands, to the committee appointed to
secure recruits for the township. But
luckily a law has recently been passed,
authorizing clubs to put in recruits not
liable to draft, and have them credited to
those who may be drafted out Of the
club SO that those who paid to assist III
securing recruits sufficient to clear the
township, will be left on their own re-
sources, and in case they are drafted can
get no aid fron those who belong to The

PATRIOTIC

When the news of the occupation Of
Charleston by our forces reached Colum-
bus, il is said both houses Of the legisla.
turo adjoined in consideration Of the fact.
JOHNNY BRoUaH ordered one hundred
guns fired, aud much patriotism was ex.
hibited. At the same time the city Of
Charleston was the scene Of murder, such
as has not been witnessed since the war
commemorative murder Of helpless wo.
men and children-it matters not al
whose hands. We refer to the explosion
Of the magazine in the city by the citi-
Gems before o~vacuatiug, which caused .
scene Of confusion and murder that con
not be realized. The confasration re-
suIting from it, left hundreds Of families
without homes or means Of support. Yet
in the face Of oil this cause of sorrow and
mourning, Mr.. BABcocK Of Cuyahog'
led off in the House Of Representatives in
singing "John Browns soul Is marching
on " and was followed by the immortal j,
N. FREE's idiotic brother with orally
round the flag boys" We think Stal
Whisky had something to do with tha'
burst Of patriotism. ~
