Obituary.

Died of the diarrhea, Jan. 18th, at the I'd
Div. Hospital, 5th A. c., near Petersburg,
William II. Palmatary, Co. G, 4th Del. Vols,
in the 23d year of his age.
About seven years ago through the influence
of his christian mother, brother Palmatary was
led to seek the Saviour in the days of his
youth, and joined the NJ. E. Church at Leip-
sic, Delaware, e,-Phila. Conf
Early in August, 1862, he felt it to be his
duty as a christian patriot to enlist in his coun-
try's cause against treason and rebellion.
He was good, faithful and obedient soldier,
always found at his post, and was greatly be-
! loved by his commanding officer and comrades.
He was in all the battles in which tie regiment
had participated, but passed through them all
unharmed. So great was the change in the
subject OF this narrative when he professed to
have found peace in believing, that his friends
were constrained to say, surely he hath ''passed
from death unto life" And notwithstanding
he had been exposed to all the trials and temp
tatiOns of army life for nearly three years. he
ever maintained his christian integrity, and
died as he lived a faithful follower of Christ
The deceased suffered much in his last sick
| ness, but he bore 1t with christian fOrtitude ;
and though he died far away from home and
friends, he felt his Saviour near to comfort and
sustain him as he passed through the valley
and shadow of DEATH When the hour Of his
departure came he was enabled to say in the
language of the Apostles, II have fought a
good fight, | have finished my course. have
kept the faith; henceforth there is laid up for
me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord
the righteous Judge shall give me in that day :
and not to me only, but unto all them also that
love his appearing" Truly Of him it may be
said,
Servant of God, we'll done;
The glorious warfare's past,
The battle fought, the victory won,
| And thou art crownd at last. +"
Brother Palnatary leaves widowed mother
and many friends to. mourn his loss, but no
doubt their loss is his eternal gain. We SYM
pathize very much with his bereaved mother
and friends, and pray that God may comfort
ana sustain them in their sad afiictiOn. Our
dear friend and brother is now forever free
from pain and sorrow, where rebellion and war
can never enter Blessed be God! there life
reigns alone; there death-knells are never toll
ed. Blessed Land above the skies To reach
it we must die; but if after death we obtain a
glorious Immortality, then ''t to die is gain"

Chaplain 4th Del. Vols.

LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES,
Pa,sed at the First Session Of the 1Rirty-sighth
Congress.
Smyrna times., 1865-03-16

Gov. AKIN, OF South CAROLINA.-Of all
the treasures which South Carolina has con-
tanned for the last half century, the capture of
Charleston has, 1t seems, again restored to us
one OF the brightest and the best Governor
Aiken remained when the rebels abandoned
the city, and was one of that nine or ten thou
sand who, declining to retire, has quietly come
to our lines, and now openly declares the re-
belllOn as in the collapsed state, and himself as
glad to be restored to the Union. He and one
or two others of the most distinguished men of
that State and city have steadily but quietly
done all they could to resist secession by per-
suaSIon, while yet so conducting themselves
that even the rebels could not help respecting
them and they have commanded such a weight
of influence thai the bitterest secessionists
thought it best to let them alone. He is one
of the few progressive men in that retrOgrade
State possessed years ago of nearly twelve hun
dred slaves and two thousand acres of land
under the most admirable system ofcutivation.
He has, until the secession movement, main
tanned the highest social and political standing
In his native State, has been Governor of that
State, and represented the Charleston district
IN Congress from 1851 to 1857 when he de-
cllned further reelection. He has shown him
self more of a statesman, a scientific farmer
and a practically successful manager of the
slavery question than any man in South Caro-
lima, attending the slaves on his own planta-
tion through cholera epidemic i'll the most
humane manner
He was born in Charleston, not quite sixty
years ago, and graduated in the South Caro-
lima College.

Record of The Democracy upon
The NcgCO Question,

We advise Union men whenever
charged by Democrats with belonging
to Il negro suffrage party, to tell them
you're another" and prove ii by the
following statements:
l, The Democratic party gave the
negroes the right to votein New York,
requiring only that each black man
shall be worth $3.50, This gives the
franchise to about 5000 blacks. Mar
tin Van Buren, a democratic President
of the United States, was Chairman of
the Convention which conferred tho
privilege.
2. The Democratic party made the
negro voter in Maine, with the same
qualifications Ms white men.
B. The Democratic party made
tho negro voter in Massachusetts,
giving him the same political rights
with white men.
4. The Democratic party mado the
negro a voter in New Hampshire.
5. A Democratic Supreme Court,
of which Reuben Wood was Chief Jus.
tico and who was afterwards elected
Governor of Ohio by tho Democratic
party, made mulattoes voters in Ohio
Whenever Union men are charged
with inviting the immigration of the
blacks, let them respond by showing
that the Democratic party, repealed
the laws of Ohio requiring that negroe.
should give bond and security befor,
settling in the State.
| Whenever Union men are charged
with being in favor Of miscegenation
strike back with tho following facts:
/. That Richard NJ. Johnson, a can
didate on tho democratic ticket fol-
Vice President, married woman o
pure African blood, and was the father
Of mulatto children who were educated
in Northern seminaries. And that, hac
Mr., Johnson been elected and had tn,
President died, negress. through the
instrumentality ofthe Democratic par,
ty, would have been mistress of the
White House.
2. That the Democratic slave. hold
ers Of he South, have for generations
practced miscegenation, and that the
mulattocs oftho South are the offspring
Lof democratic parents, That whil(
northern. Union men have not even
contemplated miscegenation, Southern
democrats have practiced it, frequent
ly with their blood relations, and have
added tho horror of selling their owr

SENATOR snERMAN's SPEECH,

On our first pago will be found the
speech of Hon. JOHN SHERMAN, dcliv.
cred at Ravenna, Ohio. 1t is the ablest
speech NC have read during the cam.
paign, and discusses the two main
ISSUES made by tho Democracy, with
characteristic clcarncss and power
The demand of the democracy for tho
taxation of United States Bonds il an
attack upon tho Supreme Court, which
has frequently decided that bonds of
the United States are not subject to
taxation by State or municipal author
ity, and the clause in the law exempt.
ing such bonds was simply intended
to give holders notice Of their rights
AS to negro suffrage, Senator Sherman
thinks it a question to be determined
after tho freedom of the negro is secur.
cd, His review Of the history of tho
Democratic party is comprehensive
and Just, and his observation that a
party ls TO be judged by its general
tendencies is worth remembering, in
connection with the fact that the ton
doncy ofthc Democratic party has boen
for years tho destruction Of the Gov.
ernmcnt. Let mono Of our readers fail
to give tho speech an attentive pcrusal,

bo forgotten, and il must never be

1t declared at the beginning OF the
rebellion that tho Government had no
power to coorce q State Encouraged
by this declaration of Democratic
President to robel, the Southern States
seeded, seized the forts, arsonaIs, navy
yards, mints, &c, OF tho United States,
dared and badgored us to battle" in
the language of Sherman, and shot
down the flag at Sumpter. .Then when
the President called for $4,000 troops
TO defend the government, this party
arrayed itself against the country, and
endeavored constantly 10 prevent the
enlistment Oh troops.
In January, 1861, it sent greeting to
the rebels from Ohio, promising that
tho two hundred thousand democrats
OF the State would not consider the
propriety of coercion until tho people
of the North had done their duty to
the South.
During the whole war it opposed ev.

Jefferson and the Democ rncy,

The fourth resolution, adopted by
the Democracy at their late State Con.
vontion, endorses the doctrines of Jof,
tcrson's Inaugural Of 1901, One Of
these is laid down thug in the inaugur,
al:
"AbSolutc dcquieScence in the decis.
ions of the majority the vital princi.
plc of Republics, from which there is
no appeal but to forco, the vital prin-
ciple and immediate parent of despot-
ISM
And yet this very Democracy re-
fused toacquiesce in the decision oftho
majority, that Abraham Lincoln sho'd
bo President for four years, 1t re.
Boiled and appealed to "torce, the vital
principle and immediate parent oI
despotism."
And after tho Southern wing had
fought four years and the Northern
wing had aided and encouraged rebel
lion for the same length of time, the
Democracy, being conquered, has the
eiirontcry to ask for control OF the Gov
ernmcnt, on the ground Of adherence
to the doctrines of Jefferson.

the national authority. 1t is vital that
we preserve this political organiza-
tion; that we allow nothing TO divide
or distract us. The election this fall

strength.
The recent Union Convention at
Columbus was composed Of as able u
body of men as | have ever seen as.
sembled within our State, and pro-
ceeded to tho work before it with care,
moderation and wisdom. The soldiers
who had fought the armed foe in the
field were represented, as we'll as tho
citizen who had confronted the equally
dangerous enemies of republican gov
ernment at home, and, as a result of
their deliberations, wc have ticket
composed of gentlenen Of the highest
character, and eminently deserving of
your confidence and esteem. Our can
didatc for Governor is gentleman in
the prime of life of the purest charac-
ter, we'll educated, of fine presence,
who has had some experience in the
administration of civil affairs in the
Senate of the State, and who, as a SOL
dicf, has proven himself one OK the
best in the army of the United States.
l have heard officers of high rank in
the army, both of the regular and
volunteer forces, speak OF him in terms
Of commentator, which | need not re-
peat. He is an able, pruden. and care
ful man, and, by the common opinion
of every one, will make our State a
good Governor, worthy to succeed
such men as Chase, Dennison, Tod
and Brough. l like him also because
he is frank man, free in the expires
sion of his opinion, clear in his convic.
ton of duty, and one who will assume
responsibilities wherever it is proper
for him to do so.
With such a standard bearer and
such associates we can 90 to the polls
in October next, and vote for the tick
ct with the clearest conviction that we
do our duty by our country. When
the choice is presented between such Il
ticket and the result of tho recent
Democratic Convention, it seems to
mo no patriotic man will hesitate n
moment. Let us then by united and
vigorous effort again place Ohio in the
foreground Of this civil contest, and
thus add to the laurels won for her by
her heroic men on every battlefield in
the war Let our pride in our coun.
try and our love for our State 90 hand
in hand, 50 that these kindred ties OF
patriotism may render us worthy of
the high privileges we enjoy.

The brother of Burroughs, who
was murdered by Miss Harris, has
written several letters since the ac.

of THE STATE TREAsURER.

DR.. Dorsey, Treasurer of State, was
arrested on Monday last, charged with
breach of trust and embezzlement,-
Under the Independent Treasury Law,
special examinations of tho Treasury
are authorized at such times as the
Governor shall think necessary, and if
violation of the law is discovered by
breach OF trust, unauthorized use Of
funds, or embezzlement, the Governor,
with the Auditor Of State and Comp
troller of tho Treasury, shall proceed
to arrest the Treasurer. The spccifi-
cations in the warrant for his ar
rest, are that on the 10th day of April,
1865, Dorsey took from the Treasury
$4,000, and on the same day $40 900
more for his own use an that on the
29th day of May, 1865, he loaned to
Bartlitt & Smith, bankers, $4,000,
without interest.
The Report Of the Special Examin-
or, and the testimony of DR.. Dorsey
and of Messrs. Bartlitt g. Smith, how
ever, shows that in lieu of the curren-
cy taken from the vaults the Treasur-
er deposited 1910 bonds Of the United
States. 1t is no whore charged that the
State has lost single cent, but that
the use which DR., Dorsey made Of tho
funds is unauthorized by law There
are other transactions than those men
toned above, which are not ac-
cording to law, and which will be
examined into. 1t is certain that
at no time has the Treasurer taken
anything from the vaults, without i'm
mediately depositing its equivalent,
and that he has never received any
pccuniary benefit or reward for these
transactions. DR.. Dorsey, in his tes,
timony, states that these bonds were
received into the Treasury simply as
currency, and if they are to be so re-
gardcd, the Treasurer has not violat-
ed tho law. 1t is not required that the
identical dollar shall remain in the
Treasury.

necessary to give effect to this dcscision
by force ofarms."
At the critical period of the war it
made Vallandingham its candidate for
Governor of Ohio, who boasted that he
never had voted and never would vote
a man nor dollar to carry on the
war.
1t attempted to render the war odi-
GUS by calling it an "unholy war" an
"Abolition war;" "war for the ne
gro" an "unholy invasion of sister
States" &C., &c.
After Our gallant armies had fought
three years, and while Grant had the
rebellion by the throat at Richmond,
and Sherman was thrusting at its
heart before Atlanta, it met in nation
al convention and resolved that the
war was "a failure, and demanded the
recall of our armies from the forts.
towns and positions won from tho en-.
emy.
1t took up the cry of the rebel papers,
and joined in calling Grant, "the butch
err Sherman "tho BRUTE" and Butler
"thc beast"
1t raised howl against the dcstruc-
ton of rebel property by Sherman in
Georgia and by Sheridan in the valley.
1t labored constantly to destroy the
national credit by condcmning the
grecnbacks and the government loans,
declaring the former worthless and in.
ducing the people not TO invest in the
latter
1t originated such organizations as
the Knights of the Golden Circle and
the Sons of Liberty, for tho purpose Of
resisting drafts, and assisting the reb-
els to overthrow the Government.
1t armed its members secretly and
hatched such conspiracics as those dis.
covered at Chicago and Indianapolis,
to release tho rebel prisoners and turn
them loose upon helpless towns to burn
and sIay.
1t never was known TO rejoice over
Union victory, nor to be depressed
over rcbol victory, but always reioic-
ed at the lattor, and either denied or
sullcnly admitted the former.
1t never condemned the rebellion,
nor ccnsurcd tho rebels, but always
condemned the war for the Union and
censured those engaged in it.
1t praised Leo as the "christian he.
ro," and jeff Davis as the Southern
gentleman" while it called Grant "thc
Butcher" Sherman "the Brute" and
abused President Lincoln as "an ape,"
and "a butfoon,"
1t encouraged the assa a.snaton of
President Lincoln by inuumcrablc VEN
omous and outrageous attacks upon
him through its press; calling him 4
tyrant and usurpcr worthy of death,
and then teaching that resistance to
tyranss was obedience to God"
ltproduccd the assassins Booth, Her
old, Atzcroth and Payne.
1t has nevcryct condemned the star.
vation Of our prisoners in the rebel
pens, but on the contrary has either
dcnied the statements of prisoners as
to the cruoltios practiced or ondeavorod
to soften them.
After all this record OF treason, it has
tho cifrontcry to ask soldiers and loyal
mon to give it control OF tho State and
Nation.
Is thcro soldier or loyal man with
so IiliIc scll.rcspcct and patriotism as
to vote with such party?
