HORRORS OF WAR.-Since the crea- millions of human beings have fallen in the battles which man has waged against his ow-creature-man. If this amazing number of men were to hold each other by the hand at arms length, they would extend over four teen millions five hundred and eighty three miles ground and would cncircle the globe on which we dwell, one hum dred and eight times! If we allow the weight of man to be on an aver age one cwt. (this is below the mark, ), we shall come to the conclusion that six millions two hundred and fifty thousand tons of human flesh have been mangled; disfigured. gashed, and trampled under foot. The calculation will appear more striking when we state, that if only the forefingers of every one of those fourteen thousand million of human beings were to be laid in straight line they would reach more than six hundred thousand miles beyond the moon; and that if person undertake to count the number, allow ing nineteen hours day, and seven days in n week. at the rate of six thou sand per hour, it would occupy that person three hundred and thirty-six years. And, awful is the considera- tion! three hundred and fifty thousand pipes of human blood have been split in battles! Who would not excIaim with Bishop Hall: Give me the man who can devise how to save troops of men from killing, his name shall have room in my calendar There is more true honor in civil garland for the preserving of one sub ject, than in the laurel for the victory over many enemies.' Or, with Bishop Taylor: If men were only subjected to Christ's law, then could they never go to war with each other."-[Dr. Thomas Dick.

The Raid into Fulton County.

We are informed that on Tuesday the 10th of Sept. and during the pro- grcss of the Circuit Court in our neigh boring county of Fulton, an armed body ofmen, some twenty in Der, who claimed to be Missouri Militia, entered the little town of Salem, charged upon the court house at full speed, with drawn pistols, and sur rounding the house, held the entire court, Judge, attorneys, and citizens in attendance, under guard for some time. An explanation of their conduct being asked. the lieutenant in command stated that tlNy were in search of horse- thieves, robbers and desperadoes gen. orally. After the lapse of half an hour or whereabouts, Judge Powell asked and obtained leave to go out O. the lines they had formed, and take with him the attorneys in attendance, vouch- ing for the good standing, &c., of the latter. The citizens in attendance were retained under guard for some time.
 The party, after remaining in the town for several hours, mounted their horses and taking with them Judge E. C. Hunter. an old and respectable citi- zen of the vicinity, prisoner, left the town. On Tuesday night, the same party, having with them several citi- gems under guard charged upon the res idence of Mir. A. J. Smith, who lived some four miles from Salem; and on approaching the house about midnight, either Intentionally or accidentally, it is not known which, one or two pistol shots were fired by the party-which. with the noise. it is supposed, alarmed Mir. Smith, who sprang from his bed and attempted to make his escape from the back door, when he was fired upon by the whole party, some ten or twelve shots taking effect. Smith ran a short distance and fell dead. On ascertain ing whom they had killed, these ruff fans pretended to be quite sorry for what had happened, saying they had no charge against Smith, but were ex- pecting to find at his house another man, for whom they were searching.
 Judgo Hunter and the other citizens under arrest were released the next morning, without one word of expla- nation as to the cause of their impri- sonment. And this band of murder ing Militia took up the line of march eastward through Fulton county, and II IS rufnoreu tnau TWO .oIncr men TeIl victims to these blood hounds the next day.
 We are quite sure such conduct is wholly unauthorized, unwarranted, and is certainly outrageous in the extreme.
 Is band ofirresponsiblc cut-throats, claiming to be militia of a neighboring State, to be allowed to invade our State. outrage our courts of justice, arrest and imprison our good citizens. murder un- armed and helpless men, and run roughshod over the country with im- punity? The affair certainly demands an investigation, and that the guilty parties be brought to justice.-Bates- vile Times.

 PoLITENEss--A LOVELY TRAIT.-- It is . graceful habit for children to say to each other, Twill you have the goodness ?" and " thank you.' We do not like to see prim, artificial chill dren there are few things we dislike 50 much as a mineature beau or belle. But the habit of good manners by no means implies atfcctation or restraint It tis quite as easy to say ]" Please give me piece of pie" as to say '' want a piece of pie The idea that constant politeness would render social life too stiff aud restrained springs from false estimate ofpoliteness. True politeness is perfect case and freedom. It simply consists in treating others just as you would like to be treated yourself. A person who acts from this principle will always be said to have sweet, pretty ways with her" It is of some consequence that your daughter should know how to enter and leave a room gracefully !; but it is of prodigiousiy more consequence that she should be in the habit of avoiding whatever is disgusting or offensive to others, and of always prcfering their pleasure to hnrnwn

TILE NEW CARINET.

Mr.. Johnson, according to all accounts, is in
difficulty about the formation of new Cabi-
net. The old one seems to be worn out, and
there is trouble to find Democrats good enough
to make another Of Perhaps we can help
him. For Secretary of War, what better man
could he have than the Hon. Michael Norton,
Senator elect from the With New-York Dis
trictY For the Navy, Semmes of Alabama
naturally suggests himself; and for Postmas-
ter-G eneral he might take either Davis, or
Benjamin, or Geo. n. Saunders. The Attorney
General ought to be man well versed in the
ways Of courts, and we can think OF
no Democrat who has enjoyed more familiarity
with the practice of legal tribunals than Solo
mon Kohnstamm. AS for the Treasury, ii Mr.
Johnson can find nobody among the scores OF
counterfeiters whom he has set at large to
take charge of it, there is the Hon. John Nor
rissey, well versed in the mysteries of finance,
or there is the Hon. Ben. Wood, who is not
only O financier, but has valuable political
connection A capital Secretary of the Interior
would be the Hon. James Buchanan. The De-
partment of State occasions rather more perplex-
ity The duties of the Secretary are manifold,
and no one man combines virtues enough IN
his own person to discharge them all to the
satisfaction Of the people. He is expected TO
play the spy and detective upon subordinate
officers Of the Government, and for this func-
ton no man is filter than Gen. Lafayette u
Baker He ought to be an accomplished specu-
lator in ealestate and. if this is to be regarded
as his chief qualification, we suggest the name
of Anthony J. Blocker. And, finally, he must
be complete letter writer; but here the field
is too vast and we viii not undertake to indi-
cate the coming man.

change:

We like this proposition. The principle in

We suggest the following plan for giving II

I. Let each Assembly district send one dele

O. Let each district that cast more than LOW
votes for the leading candidate on our State
ticket at the late election be authorized to send
second delegate.
Q. Let each district that cast more than 2,OOO
votes for said candidate send third delegate.
4. And, if there should be an Assembly Dis
trict that cast more than 1000 votes at the late
election, let it send four delegates to our next
State Convention.
And let an apportionment on this basis fol-
low each successive State election.
Such an apportionment seems to rs at once
fair and feasible. Each district will know just
how many delegates il is entitled to send, by
consulting the last official canvass of its county
returns. Why mott

LIBERTY AND LAGER.

We print in another column letter from
FIR. Schultz, President of the Radical German
Club. Letting its ciyility and courtesy speak
for themselves, and allowing him all he can
make out of the fact that himself and few
other German Radicals did support the Repub-
lican ticket, in view of his plain admission
that the great body of the lager-loving Rad
icals either staid away from the polls or voted
the Democratic ticket, we propose to recall his
attention to the points which he carefully
ignores though 1--WE submit) they are the vital,
while those he dilates on are at once incl
dental and trivial. Here is the gist of the
matter:
l. The laws of this State have Arrays for
hidden the Sunday Liquor Traffic-al,oayS in
terdicted the opening of saloons and bar-rOoms
on that day for purposes of drink and frolic.
The much-abused Excise law differs in nothing
essential from the Revised Statutes, and from
laws of our State dating back well into the
last century. If those laws were for time
widely disregarded, so are the laws against
gaming houses and dens of infamy but they
are none the less existent and of general obi
cation. What Mr.. Schultz g. Co. demand is q
glazing innovation in the fundamental laws
of Jour State. We only ask that what has al
ways in substance been the law here shall be
enforced and respected.
III. The Republican party was required, when
first organized in our State, to take ground, as
a party, on the Liquor question. We resisted
the demand, though it came from our brethren,
the advocates of Prohibition. We resist it now,
when the pressure comes from the other side.
III. What we insist ON is the right of ere,y
Republican to think and act as he may see fit lcith
regard to Liquor questions. We claim this
liberty for ourselves; we cOncede it to all 9th
ers. DR.. Schultz is no more and no less Re-
publican because he disagrees with us on those
questions. He has a right to his own opinion
with regard to them; he has no right to i'm
pose that opinion upon us, OF to require us to
act in accordance with it. We never said to
him "COnform to our views with regard to
Sunday and Liquor laws, or We read you out
of the Republican party" and he has no right
to say that to us. Let each enjoy his own
opinion.
". DR.. Schultz and his friends, or some
advocate Of their views, submitted their propo-
sition to the Platform Committee of the late
Republican State Convention. 1t was decidedly
and all but unanimously rejected by that Com
mittee. But as the last sands Of the Conven-
ton were running out the proposition was
most irregularly submitted to the Convention
itself, after many delegates had left and,
amid hurry and tumult it was said to be car
red Such action commanded no respect, and
deserved none. II did not reclaim five hundred
