Simmer and his followers may prate as
loudly as they please about "tle barbarism
of slavery" and Mrs. Stowe may rack
imagination to create q monster like tile
brutal Legree, but we had an exhibition in
this town during the examination of those
recently conscripted, which, for inhuman
and brutal barbarism, we defy any slave
market in the world to match. A father,
who had already sold one minor son as
substitute to the inhuman shamble, where
he fell a victim, appeared in our town last
Monday, dragging at his heels two half
grown, ill-shaped boys. r. :.


They were all the sons he had, and he had
contracted to sell them both as substitutes.


They had been bargained for by "loyal"
men. The smaller one, almost mere child,
was prospectiyely the property OF loud
mouthed and pestilent Abolitionist-a huge
beast of man, who stood six feet two in
his stockings and weighed over two hum
dred pounds. This intensely "loyal" and
patriotic" fellow, when his own son, a
sturdy, well-grown young man, enlisted,
followed him to Chambersburg, and brought
him back home on the plea that he was a
minor, and had enlisted without his fathers
consent.


Yet he is always full of war, and eager
for fighting so long as it is at the expense
Oh Cne DlOOd OF some one else than hlDlself
or his family. Being drafted, ,howowor, ana
wishing to lessen the probability OF such
misfortune Detailing him again speedily,
and impeled at the same time to save lit
tie money, he had bargained with brutal
father to pay less sum than three hundred
dollars for the body, the bones, the blood,
nay, more, the life of child. We defy
the whole South to furnish an instance OF
such disgusting 'dicker'' in human flesh,
or from among all the professional slave
traders, who have disgraced its soil, such
pair of monsters as these.


There was no veil of pretended loyalty or
stimulated patriotism TO conceal the naked
hideousness of this transaction. The father
was actuated solely by a sOrdid desire for
gain; the purchaser was moved by the
sneaking white-livered cowardice that for
babe him risking his own worthless carcass
in war, for the prosecution of which he
bowls daily and by the mean selfshness of
his nature which prompted him to make
cheap bid when bartering for human VIC
tim. A plot had been made up by the par
ties to this disgusting transaction by which
they hoped to deceive the Board.


The boys were made to lie as to their
ages, and represented themselves as older
than they really were. So immature and

WHERE DOES THE RAIN CONE FRoM.-
Mr. Glasher, in England, recently made a
scientific assent in balloon in rain storm,
to study the rain in the place where it comes
from: 'On the ground the rain drops were
as large as four penny pieces upon his note

it like pin-points; higher, till it was a
Scotch mist, or wet fog; yet higher the fog
was dry, and at 8, 800 feet the balloon was
out of rain, though it was falling on the
earth. Above them, even at that elevation,
was the strutum of cloud which science,
without ever having seen, had daringly pre-
dicted as always above the overcast of a
rainy sky; and at the height of 1000 feet,
in descending, the balloon was in a current
of wind from one quarter, and the car in an
other from one nearly ppOsite-southeast
and southwest respectively; in other words,
the Columbus of the clouds had sailed into
the eddy between the continent currents Of

peratures, and thus engage some of their

TIE object of the present war differs from
those in which nations are engaged, mainly in
this: that the purpose OF ordinary war is to
conquer a peace, and make treaty on advan-
tageous terms: in this contest it has become
necessary to crush population sufficiently
numerous, intelligent and warlike to consti-
tute a nation. We have not only to defeat
their armed and organized forces in the field,
but to display such an overwhelming strength
as will convince all our antagonists, especially
those of the governing, aristocratic class, Of
the utter impossibiliry of resistance. Had we
been successful in the recent battle, (Manas-

age, and to command all their resources. The

people-our military success can alone restore
the former issue.


By thoroughly defeating their armies, TAX
ing their strong places, and pursuing rigidly
protective policy as to private property and
unarmed persons, and lenient course as to
private soldiers, we may well hope for a per-
manent restoration Of peaceful Union. But

The offer Of tho Governors Of the
Western and Northwestern States of
a large number of men-according to
report, one hundred thousand-to man
the Union garrisons and forts, thus
freeing from service au important
force Of veterans, is one of the most
inspiriting events of the war. When
one remembers that for three years
these States have been pouring forth
men with lavish hand, in communi-
ties where every man ID OF especial
value-lllinois alone having sent forth
more volunteers in proportion to her
population, than any other State OF
the Union and Illinois and Indiana
having put into the field AL army as
large as that of first class Europe
an Power and when we recall that
at this season of the year every man
is needed, and can hardly be spared
for the tiIling of the ground, we shall
appreciate tho patriotism of this Offer.
A hundred thusand men taken from
the West and Northwest now, are so
many men withdrawn directly from the
Spring labors of the farm. As almost
every one either own farms or labor
on them, they will in fact leave their
plow in the furrow, even as last sum
mer in Indiana they left their reap
ers on the wheat field. 1t is not
only wealth, but the very source Of
wealth, which these States thus offer
to their country. Three years of wea-
ry war, defeats and disaster, incompe-
tent Generals and blundering policy,
have not in the least cooled the fire OF
the Western patriotism. The people
are as determined as they were when
the first Western soldiers occupied
Cairo, that one Government, founded
on Liberty, shall reach from Maine to
the Gulf. For they belong especially
to that vigorous race, who, having
once undertaken q thing and set their
will upon it, have it not in them to
turn back, but on the contrary, are
inspired and spurred on BY obstacles
and delays. aa aaa saam.s ..a

where almost every household has an
empty seat. and where every battle
from the Potomac to the Rio Grande
leaves wide circles of mourners, is like
trumpotcall to our Eastern patriot
ism. d. '..#.. .a ..'.


The West appreciates the momen-
tous Importance Of this coming sum
mer They know that on its battles
even as on such battles as Arbela
and Marathon and Waterloo-the des-
TIMES of future ages and of nations
will depend. They are determined
that all that they can do and offer
