draft in this township has fallen heavily up
on our citizens, especially when We take
into consideration the large numbers of
men that have volunteered and entered
THE service from This place since the late
call was issued. Many of those already in
the service were drafted, and these, with the

- On Saturday morning last, crowd
OF protesting 10y al persons made rush 10
tear down the Age Office, in Philadelphia
The death of Abraham Lincoln had irrita-
ted their spirits: and seeing flag a, half
mast and draped: displayed from the Age
Office, they became intensely excited, and
rushed with fury TO assault The flag and
buildings. This is another exposition Of
the fearful indications OF The times. The
assassination of Mr.. Lincoln is public
calamity, over which the whole ration
nouns in sincerity. The proprietors of
the Ags raised the first flag in respect to
the memorable death, and Tor this a party
Of Ioyalisis would become Iawless and ini-
tiaie fearful riet. The excitemen. could
only be quellsd by faithful action OF the
Police, with Mayor Henry TO command
peace.

President LincOIn's Views Oh the suffrage
question.
ANew York dispatch, OF Sept. 26th, says that the
Southern Advocate, Of Sept. 10. publishes the follow
M extract from the late President Lincolu's letter to
General Wadsworth, who fell at the battle Of the
Wilderness. The letter, which Is of a private char
,cter. is to be sent to Gen. Wadsworths family. It
shows that Mr.. Lincoln, who desired the bestowal OF
he elective franchise upon the blacks, was also at an
early day in favor ST granting universal amnesty.
Mr. Lincoln says:
"You desire to know, 10 the event OF our complete
ucceas In the Geld, the same being followed by q
oval and cnseTrut Submission On the part OF the South,

AN EXAMPLE FOR News BoYs.-We find
the following in the Nashville Daily
Union:
For several years past our citizens have
doubtless noticed, amongst the newsDoys
of Nashville, a slender, dark haired and
dark eyed little fellow, who was ever
actively and industriously plying his voca7
ton. He was the earliest TO be seen IN
the morning, and the latest at night,
Neither the heat of summer, nor the coid'
and ice, and snow and rains of winter de-
tered him. 1t often seemed a mystery 70
us how one so delicate could endure so
much. His calls were regularly made az
all the Nashville newspaper offices, where
his reputation for honesty and prOmptness'
made him a most welcome visitor. lie
also sold Louisville, Cincinnati, st. Louis,
Chicago and New York papers. A more
diligent and indefatigable trader, in his
line, we never knew. He possessed re-
markable business talent,and seldom made
an investment that. did not pay. He made
money, and what is. better, took care oft.
A full share of it Ire spent upon his moth
err, and the remainder of the family, but
this was casting bread on the waters and
always IOtuIlCu w iAilLs oO'AO - 'S.SAS
with interest. Well, this noble lad, is
aboutto retire from the business. He has
purchased a house and lot with the profits
Of his industry, and has a balance left
with which he proposes to educate him
self. So the sharp little trader, will for
several years after this, be a school boy.
Of course he will be a.zealous determined
student. He has learned in the school of
experience the value of time and steady
| application, and his training will avail him
il the school house. When he graduates
and bids adiOu to the school room, he will
then be fitted for any kind of business,
and we doubt not will again enter on a
career of justice in some useful calling.
Who will not join US in wishing prosperi-
ty and happiness, SO long as he may live,
to Charley Griffith.
To boys of every color and class, the,
| above brief statement of the result of close
and economical application to business,
is flled with Importance. We expect that
several large fortunes will be made by the
juveniles of this State in the sale Of the
JOURNAL.

s'The question is being agitated in the
nation now, Shall the negroes be allowed
to voteg To one who has mingled with
them, as / have done, the serious discus
sions upon the Propriety of it, were it not
SO serious a matter, would provoke a
SMILE. l hope that, for at least one year
to come, there uoM be no UOting Guo1Oed
IN the rebeAio3s States; but when it is
permitted, to say that those shall vote who
have been laboring to overthrow our
government, and who now hate it as much
as ever, and are determined to injure it as
much as they dare, and that those shall
be denied who have been praying for it.
and weeping for it, and fighting for it, and
now love it with true, loyal hearts, is too
unreasonable to be seriously discussed
To be sure, there is a large mass Of ne
groes who are very degraded, and unfit to
exercise the privilege of franchise, and |
should assuredly hope for a qualification
requiring the ability to read and write
But this ignorant mass are no more unit
for voters than the large class of poor
white citizens, who are not only ignorant
and degraded, but vicious, lawless, vaga-
bond and, violent. The qualification
OuSuL W U0y VI COuESos aPPIIou W Cn0Iu &c
well as to the negroes and there is little
doubt as to which will rise above it first
In short, the qualification, whatever ii
may be, must be entirely irrespective OF
color in order to satisfy either the de-
mands of justice or the interests of the
State"
We extract the above from a sermon de.
livered by the Rev. Chas. Lowe, sec'y Of
the American Unitarian Association. The
reverend gentlemen makes but n mis-
take, and that is in his phraseology merely
It would be fair from his language to in
fer that the whole South hate the govern
ment, whereas the truth is that there is
majority Of the people here who respec
it, and we know that respect engender
love. The love of Southerners may NO
be as deep as that of Nertherners for on
country, but with the great mass it is sufG
Gent to demand an unqualified ackuowl
edgment.

NunBER OF NEeRo TRooPs.-The whole
number Of colored troops mustered INTO
the service of the United States since the
commencement of the war is 10000. Of
these no less than $4,000 either died or
were killed in battle a proportion OF
casualties far greater than among the
white troops. Sixty thousand have recent
" been mustered ont, leaving 10000 still
in the service. A very considerable army
of itself.
A paper was picked up in the Safe House at
Raleigh, N c., which purporte1 to be a bill
entitled IAN Act to permit Perspns Of African
descent to choose their own masters ana become
slaves" The beneieent plans Of the professor
Of the bill seem to have been defeated on The
question OF reading it q third time. The docu-
cent was sent to Adjutant General Schouler.

kee. OF all the people on earth, we have
the most reason to loathe and dred them.
Any terms with any other would be pref

Our people would infinitely prefer IA

The Richmond Enquirer, after com

cessary to convince the world that We are
fighting for self-govenment of whites,
then we should liberate the negroes; and
if that liberation should secure our rec
ognition and the guaranty of England or
France to our independence, we believe
the people of these States would not hes
itate to make the sacrifice. The conse-
quences of emancipation would fall up
on the negro. The act would be one Of
necessity, not of choice, taken against our
judgment and convictions, but to save us
from the horrors of a prolonged war and
ruin, and the destruction involved in the

Those interested in the draft should
pay particular attention that the names
of all those not liable to be stricken from

Our affairs can be restored only by
placing the military affairs of the
contry in really capable hands-in
the hands of one who will not need
to keep piteously appealing for con-
fidence, or feelingly depreciating mis-
construction of orders and by giving
to him carte blanche, yes, and q
carte noire, too, and saying. Now
lead on and we will follow thee
Then we will have no need of
looking anxiously across the the At
lantic to see whether freedom is about
to dawn upon us from the East. Our
National independence is not carried
over sea in ships-whore it grows
there it stands like an oak. If wo
have not here within ourselves the ell
ement of it, materials and spirit, body

The sentence above in which the

noiye as well as carte bla,che, black

growing determination to arm the
