PrInCInaI ana Agent.

The law Of Principal and Agent is elu-
cidated in anovcl and somewhat startling
manner, by Mr.. Lincoln, in his inaugural.
1t seems that the latter is not doing busi-
ness on his own account, but is in the em-
ployment of the Almighty, who is to be
henceiorth regarded as }the responsible
party, wholly relieving the agent from ac-
countability in any transaction whatever.
All that Mr. Lincoln does is performed at
the inspiration of Deity. Persons whom
it may concern will take notice. While
vet Lincoln was "the Government" op-
position to him mounted to treason but
by what name shall we designate the i'm
pious crime of opposition to the Chief
Magistrate, now that the infallible source
of whatsoever he does is divulged, and God
himself made the author and director Of
all
OF course, any comment npon an inau-
gural, inspired by omniscience, would in
volve blasphemous audacity which is
not to be permitted. We shall therefore
wholly refrain. The Inauguration Ball,
we presume, was also of Divine origin,
and the price of tickets fixed at ten dol
lars by suggestion from above

Men high in position in the government
old politicians who have "run machines"
and distilled public sentiment-Thurlow

tens of thousands in the past two years in

government is now getting its richest treas

Life too Short for Strife.


Charles Dickens relates the following Of
Douglas Jerrold:
"Of his generosity l had proof within
these two or three years, which it saddens
me to think of now. There had been es-
TRANCE ment between us-not on any person
al subject, and not involving any angry
words-and good many months had passed
without my ever seeing him in the street,
when it fell out that we dined, each with his
own separate party, in the Strangers Room
of the Club Oar chairs were almost back,
TO back, and I took mine after he was seated
and at dinner, q am sorry to remember) and
did not look that way. Before we had sat
long, he openly wheeled his chair round,
stretched out both his hands in an engaging
manner, and said aloud, with a bright and
loving face, that l can see as [ write to you :
{" Let us be friends again A life is not
long enough for this |"
Jerrold was not a Christian, but his
conduct in this case was worthy of the
Christian character. On dying bed, how
Insignificant will appear many things about
which we contend in bitterness and wrath !?
Life is so short, its inevitable sorrows so
many, its responsibilities so vast, and solemn
that there is, indeed no time to spare in
bruising and mangling one another. Let
not the sun go down on your wrath. Never
close your eyes to sleep with heart angry
towards your brother and fellow sufferer
See him and be reconciled to him if you can
If you cannot see him write to him. If he
is true man and christian, he will listen.
If he is not you will have done right, and
your soul will be bright with the sunshine

A MAN from Altoona enlisted in the I'm
ion army ia 1862, and was reported killed at
the battle of Antietam. His wife brought
home his supposed body and had it inter
red. A year elapsed and she remarked, and
in due time child was born, the fruit of
the second marriage. A few days ago the
first husband returned home alive and well,
having been taken prisoner at Antietam, in
stead of being killed. He was detained by
the rebels until the last exchange at Savan-
nah.

THE OCTOBER ELECTION.

Ii is now but three weeks to the election;
and what has been done, in this county, in
the way Of preparation for it :?
We do not make this inquiry, because
there is or can be any doubt about our
county's ticket. The election of that is
certain, beyond peradventure. In fact,
there would have been no opposition to it,
if there had been no other interest at stake.
But we have State ticket, and it is of the
utmost Importance that we should poll
full vote for it We want to see that tick
ct triumphantly elected, and the way to do
that is to rally every Republican and I'm
ion voter to the polls. Bradford is looked
to for rousing majority for it, and our
friends throughout the State must not be
disappointed
That majority, however, cannot be got
by folding our arms and letting the election
take care of itself A big majority cannot
be had without full vote and full vote
cannot be had without organization.
We must, therefore, have an effective Or
ganization in every district in the county,
at once There is no time to be lost
Whatever is done, to be well done, must be
done nOlC.
We have urged this plea, so often, in
times past, that we know precisely how
much arguing it takes, in times like the
present. to bring up our party friends to
the work, and they must not blame US
therefore, if we seem pertinacious in press
ing it upon them.
Eternal vigilance is the price of liber-
ty" 1t is not enough to have beaten the
enemy thoroughly last year. We must
beat him again this year, and next, and
every year to come. He is the same enc
my to-day, as before, the same in essence
and spirit, however differing in form the
same foe to freedom the same hater OF
humanity the same opponent of reform
and progress and the same dirty panderer
to the baser passions of human nature
The enemies Of our cause are always vigil
liant, and we must meet them with equal
vigilance.
We trust therefore, that in every cleo
ton district our party friends will immedi-
atcly take measures to effect a working,
active organization. They know well
enough how to do it, for they have done
it often enough in days gone by Their
right hands have not forgotten their cum
ming All that is wanted is disposition
to work and let them remember, that, no
election was ever successfully carried by
any party that was too lazy to work. Or

THE WIRZ TRIAL.

Another medical officer of the Anderson
vile prison named DR.. Hopkins gave in tes
timony at the Wirz trial Friday. He also
presented a report he made in injunction
with DR. White, on August lst, 64,point
ing out the horrible suf1erings of our men,
the want of attention that should have been
paid to them, the unhealthy condition of
the camp, and recommending such changes
in the diet and discipline as would conduce
to the health of the prisoners. This report
was presented to General Winder with the
signature of Dr. Hopkins alone, but it did
not receive any attention from that official
Dr. H. said he did not know who was to
blame, but Capt Wirz had immediate
charge of the camp. Judge Advocate Chip
man presented an order of Winder to show
that the Richmond authorities were aware
of the existing state of things and that
Gen. w. had power to apply remedy
4 shipper of supplies at Americus testified
that he did not think they were ever out of
bacon or meal. The provisions were the
same as were given the Confederate army.
Another rebel surgeon gave a picture of
the condition of the stockade, and of their
dying from starvation and cold. The said
DR.. Stevenson in charge of the hospital had
been found guilty of embezzelling the hos
pital funds, amounting from 100000 to
$l5OOO0. A Captain Wilson said he, with
others, were confined in small room, and
would have died from starvation if they had
not bought provisions,
During the trial a witness detailed some
of the barbarities of Wirz, which he wit
messed. One of them was the shooting of
his comrade, whilst in charge of a dead body
The prisoner not only did this, but took all
the money Of his person. Wirz was told
to stand up before the court upon doing
which the witness recognized him as the
one who had killed his comrade Wirz
endeavored to contradict the man, but he
was prevented. He sank down in his seat.
On being told to arise again he had to be
supported, but when the witness again
identified him he tainted away The des.
patch says that it is probable he will not
live to see the end of the trial
