to a statement that the Legislature Of

with an artificial arm, INDUCES in these
contemplate remarks:
While the rebel Legislatures are thus
voting money TO show their regard Tor
leading rebels, they profess TO be too
poor to do anything to save the destitute

Abolitionists 1t is not TO be wondered
at that Northern people are tempted to
turn from such shameless mendicants
with more Of indignation than pity. II

spirit which slavery has fostered
The editor Of this paper is the man
who insulied some Southern ladies who,

The St. Louis Times says: Another
of the tyrants of the Lincoln and Stan
ton regime, Col. L. C. Turner, is gone
to keep company in the other world
with those who we're infamous on
earth. This Turner was one of the
most willing and subtle OF all the
satellites who did the bidding
of Stanton during the rebellion. All
that Stanton or Lincoln had to do was
to hint to Turner that it was desirable TO
torment victim and it was done. OF
all the Infamous wretches of the Lincoln
regime, we know of but one other who
surpasses Turner in infamy-that one is
Baker.

ARSENIC,

The Chicago Board of Trade, at

appropriating one thousand dollars fol
the Southern sufferers, and then repented
and recinded it. We suppose the aid
was to be sent in the form of -four. A
member of the Board said he was willing
to send arsenic to the Southern starving
but not food. Now, would it not be
hazardous to use -four, or anything
else sent down from that placer Who

not be able to build mp and establish
with our own hands, no power on earth

HOW CHANGED!

A Western Democratic paper says
that when the Radicals thought, on the
2lst of July, 1861, that there was pros
pect that the victorious rebels at the bat
tie of Bull Run would follow up their
victory and possess themselves of the
capital and paralyze the arm of the Gov
eminent, Congress, in its fright, declared
that the war was not waged by the Gov
eminent in a spirit Of conquest, but
only to establish the supremacy of
the Constitution, and that done, the
war should cease, and the States should
lose none of their rightf1l authority or
dignity. This declaration was put forth
for effect, and it had the effect of en-
listing a million of soldiers at the
North, who, had the real purpose Of
the Radicals been apprehended, would
rather have enlisted on the other side.
Not only was this declaration made thus
early in the contest, but it was iterated
and reiterated in every possible form,
and from every source of authority, not
only of the Federal but also of the State
Governments.

Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania, as
committing most serious outrages. The
ruffians are mainly Irishmsn, and known
as " Mollie McGuire's." They are banded
together in secret organizations for the
purpose of controlling the mines, and
resort to murder and robbery. 1t is i'm
possible to punish them, as, when
