The New YORK WORLD.-It is seldom
that we can endorse anything which appears
in the New York World, but to the follow
ing, we give hearty amen:


"If Charleston, which set the ball of this
terrible civil war in motion, shall, by the OBJ
stinacy of its resistance, become smeared and
blackened ruin, the country will recognize the
finger of retributive justice which thus trans
forms the cradle of the rebellion into its coffin,
and hangs up the somke of the devoted city
as a funeral pall'

1t is something remarkable that the peace
Democrats find no fault with the war waged
by JEFF. Davis. 1t is the war in defence OF
the Government that they oppose. Nobody
ever heard one of them opposing the war to
overthrow the Government. They don't
preach peace to the rebels. They find no fault
with their war. From this we are forced to
the conclusion that even the Democracy are
in favor of war provided the war is waged by
those with whom they sympathize against
those whom they hate.

The President has not drawn his salary 70
the past year from the Treasury. When re-
minded by friends that by putting the same
upon interest he would receive an income of at
least twelve hundred dollars, he replied that he
thought the United States needed the use of
the money quite as much as any person, and he
would let it remain.

If you take dollar in gold to Richmond they
will give you ia return sixteen of the paper
dollars of the Confederate Government and
twelve of them for one Of Uncle Sans green

than that of Hayti, for there the paper dollar
is worth eight cents in hard currency, which
is two cents better than that Of the rebels.

in short time OF one thing you can rest
assured, that should anything succeed in
running in and out of Charleston by this

be from want of due vigilance on the part
of the officers and men of this boat, but will
be attributable to some other cause.

The Copperheads have so often charged
the Union Republican party with intending to
bring all the slaves North and allow them to
vote, &c. that many honest foreigners believe
it. The Republican party has been in power
in many of the States for upwards Of seven
years and yet not a law has been passed by
any State giving the negro any more political
rights than he had before. On the contrary,
when the Democratic party was in power in
the State of New York, the Constitutional
Convention. over which Martin Van Buren
presided, extended to every negro the right
to vote, provided, he owned 5000 worth of
property. The Democratic party of Massa-
chusetts and of Ohio gave to negroes the right
to vote. Will you remember these things
In every State, where the negroes vote, that
privilege was granted by the Democratic
party. The history Of the country is our

rest of Major Constable, late Provost Marshal
of the Eighth Army Corps Department, was
noticed last week. He was subsequently in
dicted by the grand jury on the charge of OBJ
taining considerable amount of money, and
at the time the military declined to surrender
him to the civil authority. At Major Consta-
ble's request, he was yesterday admitted to
bail by Judge Bond to await trial on the in
dictment. Major Constable states that he

Charleston, Mobile, Savannah, &C., with the
munitions of war, and that the South will
then be in position to insist upon its own

no more vessels carry arms, clothing, medi-
