WEDNESDAY MARCH 11 1863

The Time Half Expired. The term of office of ABEAHAH LINCOLN has half expired, and has tho task yet been halL&ceomplished? NAPOLEON once said, "The unknown can be reached only through the known," and, judging by the past, and '^that^r| of^tfee present which comes under our immediate observation, we conclude fairly that the work of overthrowing the

Coiif&Jcrate power is vastly more than half accomplished Should President LINCOLN be able two years hence to leave to his successor the States reunited, and the Federal power fully vindicated, the people will congratulate themselves and him for having achieved, In tho epace of four brief years, results the most stupendous and important of any known fc» modern times. As to the future, of course positive prediction is idle. Omniscient, alone can fathom its depths. But judging by what has happened in the two past years, there is the most abundant reason for just hope -in the iuture. The period of one Pres idential term is but a moment in comparison with the lifetime of nations, but even in that duration of time events may occur which will leave their impress for weal or woe, on the frontispiece of the world's civilization. We look at the progress of two years, and although m&Dy blunders have been committed, and many heavy losses sustained, the vast preponderance of success is on the side of the Federal armi. We might prove, by referring to the many battles and skirmishes which have been fought with varied success 'during the time Mr. Lincoln has held his *ffice, that the Confederate Government has 'not shown the power necessary to beat the

North in a protracted struggle for national life. That the rebel forces have been well •commanded and fought with the highest •valor, it is useless to deuy. Their resources sand power of endurance have astonished •the world, but the recuperation of the

Federal Government, disarmed as it was at tho outbreak of hostilities, has been vastly greater in proportion than that of Us enemy. One broad fact covers the whole matter^ and leaves but little room to doubt or equivocate as to the final result. When the first shock of arms occurred on the disastrous Sold of Bull's Bun, the Federal flag had been bfcnished, and trampled upon by rebel feet, from the banks of the Potomac and of the Ohio, and the Iowa line down to the Gulf of Mexico, and from Gape Hatteras to the utmost confines of New Mexico. Over all this vast extent of territory, rebellion and treason stalked undismayed, and erected its hateful standard.— Two years have elapsed, the rebel flag has retroated, and the emblem of American nationality and life now floats unmolested over full two thirds of thi3 area. This fact alone tells sadly for tho permanence of the Confederate power. It has retired beforo the valor and power of the Federal arms, and in so doing has deprived itself of those resources without which its most sanguine supporters cannot long hopo for success.

But as to perils from a foreign enemy.— Two years ago, Cotton war said to be King. But events since have demonstrated the allegation to be utterly fallacious. The Cotton King is now without power, and without a throne. He did not during his brief reign either bring foreign interference or recognition of Confederate independence. He excited much fear, indeed, but at this time no speck of foreign war dots our horizon. England, from whom we had most to fear, has declined to join the Emperor of France in any kind of interference, and will remain a quiet spectator until the conflict is finally determined. Russia will not interfere, and France alono dare not. The prospect of the Confederate leaders for aid from Europe has then disappeared in gloom and darkness.— Tlio diplomacy of the Administration has thus far added increased renown to American statesmanship, and elevated the confidence and prido of our people.

As to the question of present resources. These have been vastly increased on both sides. When hostilities commenced, the Confederate Government had at least twice as many soldiers as tho Federal Government, with twice the number o' cannon and muskots. Now tho matter is very nearly directly reversed. Then both sides were without navies. Tho Democratic Secrotary of the Navy had distributed :be few Federal Vossels to the remorter parts tho world, in order to enable the Govern ment a Democratic administration could 110 longer rule, to be the more easily ruined.— But now we have fifty vessels.to where the rcbol leaders have but one, and the Federal Government is ten times better able to cape with the strength of the rebellion now than it was two years ago. But it may be said that their strength has been vastly augmented. Such has certainly been the case, but relatively the proportion of the strength ia ten to one in faver of the Federal power.

As to available resources, the preponderance in favor of the North is too vast for comparison. When President LINCOLN assumed control 5f the Government, the whole South was ono vast Storehouse of goods bought in Northern cities ard never paid for. But now after only two years of war, tho people of the South are deprived of the necessaries of lifo, and the rebel armies are alike destitute of almost everything which made them comfortable when the seceded States erected the standard of rebellion.The armed occupation of almost every

Southern port, and a vigorous blockade of tho balance have reduced the Confederate power to a species of want, which cannot bo much longer endured. Southern inports once so large, havo been rcduced to almost nothing, and so are its exports, on which it intended building up a credit to enable It to effect vast loans abroad, with which to carry on the war.

The general aspect of matters in the Northern States, is also more auspicious now than at the inception of the rebellion. Then division among the people at the North, was no inconsiderable matter to con template. But now the Northern rebels have been coiupletoly frustrated, and the military strength of each State is unalterably dotermined for the Government. In every aspect in which the situation is viewed, the groat task of subduing tho rebellion is vastly more than half accomplished. However, we may expect reverses iu mnnv instances, to befal our arms, but they will be speedily repaired and the conflict vigorously pursued until it ends in the final triumph of the Union aras.

The soldiers of the array desire no armistice, or convention to settle the mattera in controversy. These questions have been submitted to the arbitrament of the aword, aud by it must be determined. That instrument is the only arbiter in this dreadful dispute, between freedom and slavery, .nationality -aui disunion. Resistanoe to the draft in a :few localities by the Knights of the Golden Circle and the treasonable practices of petty judges, wilt ooeaaion no vary serious detriment to the national cause. The robellion trill be crushed before «bis Presidential term oxpires our nationality will be fully vindicated aad established. The experiment of self-government tfill no long

Judge Constable^ of Illinois Resisting the arrest of Dese rters. "Ittppesrs from the evidence which we have before us, that the KNIGHTS of the Golden Circle, with Judge CONSTABLE as leader, in Clarke county Illinois, aria determined to resist the Federal laws, for the reclamation of deserters from the United' States army, and if possible provoke hostilities with the Federal power. Two officers of Indiana Regiments, under the authority of the War Department, were sent to the neighborhood of Marshall Clarke Co. Illinois, for the purpose ot taking possession of any Government property which might be found, and also for the purpose of arresting deserters.— On a small stream, known by the namo of "big creek," the officers referred to, MCFABLANS and LONG, arrested four deserters named as follows, to-wit: JAKES GAMMON, HUGH SCOTT, M. BELCHES, and JOHN TANNER. Judge CONSTABLE, in his statement below, is mistaken in saying that BELCH XH belongs to an Illinois Regiment. He belongs to the 31st Indiana Regiment, ard deserted his Company when the Regiment was at Fort Henry, last March. These dcsertcre, when arrested, did not deny being such, and would willingly have accompanied the officers, but tho mother of one of them employed JOHN ScHOLFiELD.Esq., dn Attorney of Marshall to procure bis release. SCHOLFIELD caused the arrest of the officers on a charge of kidnapping. They were taken before Judge CONSTABLE, who refused to recognize the authority given to the officers by the War Department, and also refused to allow R. L. D.u LANT, Esq., the Attorney of Messrs. MCFABLAND and LONG, to prove that the peraorearrested were in fact deserters from the Federal army. The Judge gave the officers the alternative of giving bail in the sum. of fire hundred dollars for their appearance at Court on Thursday morning of this week, rfr being confined in jail. He also ordered the discharge of the deserters. On the request of one of the officers, the Judge made a statement of the case which is as follows:

MARSHALL, CLARKE CO., ILLINOIS,( March 8th, 1863. At the request of John McFarland, as Judge of the 4th Judicial .Circuit of the State of Illinois, I state th'at Messrs. McFarland and Thomas Long, have been-arrested and brought before me for examination on a

We suppose that in this matter the Government will take care of itself. It will probably not ask of Judge CONSTABLE, tho poor privilege of arreatiug deserters from its army.. If there is a power in Clark county, Illinois, or in any other county, or State, which can defy the execution of Federal laws for the arrest of deserters, tho Booner that fact Is known the better for all concerned. If any petty judge, full of treason, can screen deserters and destroy armies, the sooner tho thing is accomplished the better. Wo Rpprehend that Judge CONSTABLE will pay dearly for this effort in behalf of JEFFERSON DAVIS and his 'cause. If the Knights of tho Golden Circle tiro determined to inaugurate hostilities, let them commence without deluy.— Now is the timo to commence. Let all the traitors in the land combine now to ruin the Government and let all loyal men combino to sustain it. The conduct of Judge CONSTABLE is traitorous and contemptible in the last degree, and he will likely have to suffer for it.

Official Qfficlonsnesst.—To the Victors Bilouptbe Spoils. Two of the County Commissioners were made to do dirty work, at the bidding of copper head Democrats It is known to this community and the county generally, that since the breaking out of the unholy rebellion in the South, there has existed in the city of Terre Haute, a Committee, appointed at two different public meetings, for the purpose.of attending to the wants of the families of vol* unteer soldiers. This Committee is composed of a large number of the business men of the city, without distinction of party. It has been their duty to ascertain what families were entitled to relief, under the pledges publicly given to the volunteer soldier, and to distribute from week to week in cash, according to a vote of the committee, and such other means ad wpre put in their possession. During the year 1861, Mr. R. McKoen was the treasurer and disbursing agent of all the cash funds donated by private individuals and the County Commissioners. In the months of September, October and November of that vcar, he disbursed $3,776 75 to 180 different families. Two tbousaud of this anponnt Mr. McKeen advanced out of his funds by request of Relief Committee, in ordpr to aid tho unexpected large number of applicants. On the 1st of Deo. '61, Mr. McKeen gnve notice that ho could not longer attend to it, AS it required great and perplexing care, and more than he could bestow. The Committee then at a regular meeting, passed a a resolution to the effect, that it was expedient to employ some person to take the on tire charge of the donations* and the payment of of the allowances made to each family.— Beiy. McKeen, $. U. potter and Wm B. Warren, were appointed a Gammittee to engage such person, and agree with hi pi, the1 compensation to be allowed per month. It was further resolved that his agent should be -required to make monthly reports, showing the amount of donations received and fteid out. ,h ,u.

The officers inform us that one of the deserters alleges, that two members of the Knights of the Golden Circle used exertions to induce him to} join that order, informing him that if he did so, he would be protected from arrest by Federal officers 011 the ground of his desertion. But he refused to join that treasonable organization, notwithstanding ho had deserted his regiment. The officers were threatened with hanging, &e., during the time they were in tho custody of the Sheriff of that county, by a gang of "big creek" rebels.

stores, visited them in person, and sent their agtnt 'to' the^mpe in Kentucky and Tennessee to bring Wne moneyjfrom the soldier to his friends. .. '.w The itelief Committee has. distributed,' to over 300 families, not much short of $25,000 cash, and in shoes, flour, potatoes, etc., etc., to jthe value of at least $1,000 more. And now, afler nearly two years of experience in this line of duty and beneficent work, discharging a debt due to the soldier,, their action and efficiency is suddenly interrupted by the action of the majority In .the Board of County Commissioners refusing to make further appropriations for these families unless disbursed by an agent ef their own selection.

And now it only remains to announce, who the woitL./, or unworthy person is, that has been placed by the action of these two officers, to supercede Mr. Hook, and ignore entirely the action of the Peoples Relief Committee. J. fi. Otey is the man, and he is well known in this city and county."- In the opinion of the writor, a more injudicious ap pointment could not have been made.

Mr. Otey has not identified himself, since the war commenced nis having any sympathy, interest or feeling in tommon with those who have been striving to uphold and sustain the measures of the Government, comfort ihe sick and wounded aud relieve the families of soldiers. He has stood aloof entiiely, attending none of their meetings or contributing of his mite to the general fund. He has been about his masters business.— Nothing is mare clear than had Messrs. Cruse and Thomas been left to their own unbiased judgment, such an appointment would not have, been made. Let the people judge.1

jgf" By our dispatches aud from the Ciri. cinnati Gazette we have further particulars of tho fight -at Thompson's Station. The Unionlos3iu killed and wounded is much lighter than nt first reported, whilst the rebel loss is heavier. Our total loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners is 1,313, including 100 killed and 200 wounded. No Federal officers were killed, and but one, Col. J. P. Baird, of tho 85th Ind., was wounded, and he but slightly if 'iw :i

They admit having had 1 force of from li teen to twenty, thousand, belonging to Van Dorn's division. Tliev say that sixteen rebel Brigadier Generals were on the field,., and au actual force of twelve thouannd engnged.

They acknowledge a loss of one Cononel and several line officers. They say that their loss was 180 killed and a proportionate number wounded. Their loss iu killed and wounded largely, excteded that of the Federals.

The 85th. Indiana lost 200 privates and commissioned officers, including Col. J. P. Baird, slightly wounded Lieut. 0:»i. Crane, Major Craig, Adjutant Crawford, Sergeant Major Dowd, Cuptains Floyd, Bnmt, Brooks, Ntis*), Ricket, Wier Lieutenants Ingraham, Sherman, Olark, Brown, Hungate, Harbert Gunner, Gregory, Finney, Hutchinson, and Tillotson. Of this regiment, Serg't Auiboso of Co. B, and Hazelitt of Co. F, art known to have been killed.

Considering the fierceness and Iciigth of the fight, it is remarkable, if the rebel statement be true, that none of the above named captured officers were killed.

Stirring dispatches may be expected from that quarter within a few days if the rebels Stand their ground. int ii J.

A FIENDISH OUTRAGE.—TLJ Rochester Ind.) Chronicle of Thursday has a lengthy, article, giving the particulars of the disinterment of a Union soldier by a party of Copperheads. The body was that of F. C. Hamlet, a member of the 29th Indiana Volunteers,' whfch was sent home about three months after his death, and the body being very mnch deeompos. d, the friends did not op*n the cofin, but had it interred* short distance from his lato.residence. The Copperheads started the storyth it the coffin contained arms, with which the Abolitionist were to make war upon the Democrats, and threatened to disinter the coffin. On the following Wednesday some 30 or 30 of them, ajrmed with rifles, shot guns, revolvers, &c., proceeded to the grave, and having stationed pickets to prevent sudden interruption, commenced operations. The wife and a brother of the deceased protested against such proceedings, but in vain. The coffin was soon reached, takeu from the grave and the lid split off with an ax, when they found—not arms—but the body of thoir former neigatior. This satisfied the malignity of the fiendish gang, and they replaced the coffin in the grave. The Chronicle gives the names of fifteen persona engaged in ike perpetration qf this outrage.,,..

The Draft to be Resisted in Snllivau

We learn that it is the determination of a portion of thoJDemo$f&ts of Sullivan county to resist the e2§cotioj£ of jfoe draft, bjr in armed force. That Oouut ent Representative a^aj nent, at tbejia^lec&a, vitet. Mr. VOO&HEES,

dfng citizens. -Bat it proves now that they are the only men who are not l»w abiding.-— This whole rebellion is-ilie work of Democratic treason The plot for the secession of the States, and the formation of a Southern Confederacy, was formed- in a Democratic Cabinet, and with the connivance of a Demo-cratic-President.' ... And now that the rebelSlaveholders are about failing to accomplish their designs of dividing the Union, and erecting upon its rubs a Government, with african Slavery as its foundation, their Northern sympathizers and allies are proposing to aid them by screening deserters, and resisting the execution of the laws for aug-

menting the strength of the army. t'There is one important fact however, about this matter aud that is, that if there is a party of traitors in the States of Indiana and Illinois powerful enough to defy successfully the national and State Governments ia the execution of the laws, the sooner for all concerned, the fact is made manifest the better. The strength of the Government to maintain its authority and afford protection to the loyal citizen, ia now being tried fully. The rebels at the South, and a. very consid

The Committee, learning that such action was contemplated, called meeting, drew up a respectful remonstrance against any change, and deputisnd a committee to wait Upon the Board and present it. This was done, and with the reasons ably and earnestly set forth, by Jas. Arlington, Esq., why it was thought inexpedient to tnake any change, Some objection being made to the amouht of compensation allowed Mr. Hook, it was proposed by the Committee to pay Mr. Hook out of their own pockets, and here- arable portion of the Democrats at the after make no charge to the county. .Te the honor and good sense of' one of the Board (Mr. Clark Tiittlu) thore was a perfect agreement with the Committee.— But with the other two (Mesrs Kruse and Thomas,) there was disagreement and on their part, an unyielding party spirit, apparently blind to all reason, argument Or the. interest of the tax payers of Vigo eOunt^.— Some mitigation for their blind and obstinate refusal to see their pla,ln duty in this matter, is in the fact, that as soon as they come to this city to set as a Board of Commissioners, they were set upon by a small clique of copper, head Democrats, who ceased ndt to eject from their mouths, the slimy sentiments of party and selfish interests and even to demand of them, that one of their party should be appointed agent,, to handle $5,000 in the next three months. Shadrach and Meshec, in the fiery furnace of Nebuch* adnezar, could not have been half so uncomfortable, as were these two County Commissioners in the furnace of this Democratic oliquc, heating them hotter and hotter every day. Shadrach and Meshec came out, with

TSarth are in conflict with it, and will if they can, crush it to ruins. The question of its strength to maintain itself might as well be determined now as at any time. The army is loy§l ddspite-the efforts to demoralize it, Jty the Koights of the Golden Circle and

Northern rebels. If the Sullivan county rebels desire to further test the loyalty of the country, let them by all means, piocecd in their Work without further delay. We apprehend that they will find that we yet have a Government, and that there are yet loyal men enough to maintain it against the whole rebel power of the Statos.

But against what do they presume to provoke hostilities The Federal Government has on army of men seven hundred thousand Strong, with all the implements and munitions of war. In one hand it holds the purse, and with the other brandishes the sword of the country. The State governments are under the control of the Federal power, so far as their military strength is concerned, and they will be true te it in every emergency/ Added t« tho military power of the

National and State Governments, there is still the power of the loyal men of Indiana and Illinois, who are^at this time prepared for almost anything that may occur. Do the men who are organizing to resist the draft in these two States propose to battle against all this power, overthrow it and successfully resist the execution of the laws? If so, they are sadly mistaken men in thfeir own •trength. Thoir military strength would bo oply that of a mob. Their resistanee would result iu their capture and execution. They may, however, band together and play the part of bushwhackers and guerrillas. They may, in imitation of their Southern brethren, burn houses, rob Union men, and steal horses, drive off cattle and perpetrate murder and all the other horrible crimes known to the catalogue of bandits and outlaws But even their operations in this way, would be of short duration. They would be hunted with an unsleepiug vengeance, and driven into exile or executed without morcy.

Those men who are organizing to brine 'Heath and desolation to their own homes by resisting the draft and inaugurating civil war in our midst, would do well to pause culate tipon the steps they We know well that they are bit.. *'tc

^cra

tho teachings of many of the leaders, but such teachings will b^^piem to ruin. If they do not wish to submit^ tbe draft, there is a provision iu the conscript law exempting those drafted 011 the payment of threo hundred dollars, or by furnishing a substitute, ir one can be had at lower rates than that amount. Thisjs the manly and patriotic wny to avoid the draft. If, however, there are those who desire to aid the Confederate Government by resisting the Federal laws. they can much better accomplish their designs, and do so iu a more honorable manner, by going into the rebel liues and joining the rebel army. Those men who nre now engaged in tho business of organizing to resist the draft, cau rest assured that this is jin inauspicious time to attempt to execute theirdesigns. We warn them not to attempt to make good the allegation of DANIEL W. VOORHEES, that bloodshed result from the enforcement of the law in this Districtor State. The example of the Morgan County pion is before you, and the punishment inflicted upon them will bo more thanlloubled in severity upon these who may chose to repeat the crime.

RYE COFVKE.—The alleged poisoning by ryo edffee is making some noise in Brooklyn, N. Y, Whatever this case may amount to, it is certain that rye o!teu contains ergot, or spurred rye, in dangerous-quantities. The books say that in Franco fearful epidemics have beon kuown to spring from the use of rye in flour. If rye is used at at all for coffee, it should be carefully picked over. That the large manufaoturers do this Is not presumed. The safest way is to burn and grind it at homo and even then, it is uot probable that of a bundled housekeepers, one-naif would know the difference between true rye and ergot, chess, '"d other noxious grains.

A LICK BACK.—The Johnson County (Indiana) Herald, a Copperhead sheet, having recently declared that when the soldiers return they will be the beat frieud9 of that sheet, fifty returned soldiers of that county have issued a card denouncing the editor as a Copperhead and liar.

AT AMBOY, Lee county, III., a few, days since, a sympathizer with Jeff Davis officiouSfy remarked to A. Kinzen, a well-known lawyer pf that place, that be (Secesb) thought "Jeff. Davis was a better man then Abe LincolQ and he preferred to live under Davis's government rather than Lincoln's." This was more than Kinson could bear, and "at sight" he knocked the sympathizer over, who thereupon incontinently subsided.

Since that time, two similiar affairs have occurred.

Baron Jerome David undertook to reply to this attack of the Opposition, by stating that the expedition was justifiedj by tho insults and injuries sustained by French subjects, for all of which the national honor demanded reparation. Tbe next day, M. Billault followed Baron David in support of the Emporor's policy. This distinguished exponent and defender of the Emperor's meas

This debate in the French Chambers de~ velopes several curious and noteworthy facts.

In the first place, we find the startling fact that a powerful organization of independents and conservatives has come out openly, decidedly and boldly in opposition to the policy of tbe Emperor in Mexico. In the next place, we find that iu this important debate the most prominent point in tho Emperor's policy —that avowed in his letter to Gen. Forey, July 3d, 1862, relative to the extension of American influence and interests on this Continent—was entirely ignored by the party representing the Emperor. This party justifies the expedition wholly 011 the ground that French honor demands reparation for injuries and insults to French citizeua in Mexico. It has been patent to all the world thnt the French residents in Mexico aa a body, have disavowed any such treatment on tho part of the Mexicans, and their protests against the iuvasion nf the French, and the policy of Napoleon in thatcountry, have been pub lished.

Another important fact is, that tbe Opposition, even while denouncing the expedition, and exposing the amount it has already cost to reach Orizaba, couuts on a greater degree of success to French arms than they havo yet reached, or are likely to reach. According to tbe debate, all parties appear to re3t in the belief that the French expedition nO*w afoot in Mexico will at least be able to conquer its way to tbe Capital, enter and hold it.— Jules Favre already speaks of the surrounding States as French Provinces. "Jifarez," he says, "after tbe taking the City of Mexico, would continue the war in tbe French Provinces."

According to our latest advices, Feb. 1, from Mexico, the French army has practically made but little advance beyond Orizaba, and the prospet was that the expedition would prove a total failure before it reached Puebla. TV hen this state of affairs is fully realized in France, it will not tend to allay the excitement that ha3 begun to manifest itself there relative to the invasion of Mexico. The Mexican question is so nearly allied to our own interests, and it has now become so important with the great Powers, that its progress is very naturally watched with the greatest interest.— [N. F. Times

As there are different tastes, perhaps some of our readers may call this only a continuation of the "fire in the rear."— Ghxcago Tribune. »e»»

This section, provides that all companies of the Legion existing np to this time shall be disarmed by the Assistant Quarter Master General on the staff of the Major General which officer is to hold the arms subject to be issued in oceordance with the directions of tho Auditor, Secretary, Treasurer and Attorney General of the State and all the expenses attending these operations aro to be paid out of the State Treasury on the warrant of the Auditor.

What excuse can bo offered to the people of the State for disarming and dissolving the Indiana Legion For more than eighteen months it has protected the border, and has rendered invaluable service to the State.— Why is St to. be disarmed and dishonored The only answer is because it is loyal, and because of the determination to render the State powerless against rebellion from within or without. It is our solemn conviction that the bill is put forwad by the Knights of the Golden Circle, and is intended to place the military power of the State in their hands.—[Ind. Journal.

Mexican Affairs In Fiance. The Mexican question has at last been brought up in the French Corps Legislatif, and in a manner at once so significant and important as to command universal attention.

It appears that the Opposition attached an idr

amendment to the address relative to Mexico, which amendment sought to discover the motives for the Mexican expedition. Those supporting the amendment denounced tho expedition as having its origin in the swindling operation of the Swiss banker, M. Jecker. M. Picard maintained that the expedition must have an unfortunate issue, and would not save Mexico from falling into the hands of the United States, but must expe* dite that result. This member demanded, what many others high in office have desired during the past year, namely, a solution of the enigma presented by the French invasion of Mexico.

It also appears that M. Jules Favre, the leader of what are termed the "five independent members" of the Legislative Assembly, was not satisfied with the amendment of the Opposition because it is not strong enough in its condemnation of the raid upon Mexico. M. Favre openly and boldly accused the Government of having concealed the truth in its account of the conversation between M. Thouvenel and Lord •Cowley. Hetdenounced the Jeckcr affair, stating that the English Minister had stigmatized it as a robbery, and therefore no astonishment could be felt at the French ultimatum having caused the withdrawal of England and Spain.

M. Favre said that "the army of France should not be rashly engaged in undefined and adventurous expeditions neither our interests nor our principles require us to go and see what sort of Government the Mexican people desire." He disavowed, in the name of principle and international law, the war against Mexico. "It will always be un fortunate," said the distinguished avoeat, "even after the taking of the City of Mexieeyf^r Juarez would continue the war in the $ Provinces. To get to Orizaba, has jjjeost 104,000,009 francs, and to go than Mexico the treasure of Franee not suffice." M. Favre concluded his marks by saying that he could not associate himself wiih a war undertaken upon men diacious information.

EST A rich joke was played on the rebels at Vicksburg. For some reason a flatboat was set adrift in the Mississippi above Vicksburg, in the early part of last week, which run the blockade, with flour barrels msunted on the deck, to represent a turret. The rebel batteries opened on the flatboat, and the enemy supposing another gunboat was moving down, blew,up the Indianola. Their indignation appears to have been very great when the misUke was discovered.

LIVING IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA—An examination of the grocer's, butcher's and dry goods men and boot-seller's bills in Richmond, Virginia, must be an interesting subject to paterfamilias, in that delectable city, just now. The prices of a few common articles are men's boots $50 dollars a pair ladies' boots from $15 to $25 flour $25 a barrel potatoes $12 a bushel tea $16 a pound common sugar $1 a pound molasses $12 a gallon butter $2,50 a pound oranges $1 to $1,50 each apples 75 cents a piece calicos $2,50 a yard common cotton cloth $1 a yard. Ordinary meals forgeutlemen, by the month, $50.

THE PIA^O FORTE—There is probably no article of utility or luxury in the purchase of which so much must be trusted to the honor and integrity of tho manufacturer, as the Piauo-Forte. The name of William B. .Bradbury is a musical house hold ward, and is a sui guarrantee to the purceaser that the instrument bearing his natne is in all respects perfect. For many years an active partner in one of the largest Piano-Forte manufacturing establishments in NeW|Yo.rk, ho has gained a world-wide calebrity and having plenty of Capital is determined that his instuments shall not be equalled by those, of any other marker.

On Sunday last, a party of thirty

refugees reached Nashville from East Tennessee, and from Cherokee couuty in North Carolina. The Union says they relate many revolting cruelties practiced by the rebel fiends upon loyal citizens in that fearfully oppressed region. They stato two companies of Cherokoe Indians are acting as provost guard in Knoxville. These savages act in the most horrid manner. The rebel cavalry scour the country in sjjuads, each squad being accompanied by an Indian in,the search of Union conscripts who are endeavoring to flee the country. Tho rebel provost mardial offers the Indians five dollars per head for Union men killed. A short time before the refugees fled, they saw a party of Indians coming in with a string of fourteen ears, which they had cut from the dead bodies of Union men, this being tbe mode adopted to count their victims. For each ear they received five dollars from the rebel commander.

Ity Every nook and corner of the City School Hall was filled last evening to witness the first of the series of entertainments

ures, warmly protested against the course of- given by the ladies and gentlemen of our cky in behalf of the needy. Tbe enterprise a magnificent success, and will add a considerable sum te the object intended. Of tho exercises it is useless for us to give a description, everybody was there to see for themselves. Everything was put on the stage in good style and our citizen amateurs walked the boards with the step of veterans.

the Opposition, and especially did ho attempt to controvert the remarks of M. Favre. But be constantly harped upon the old and obsolete issues that Juarez has broken faith with France and ill-treated French citizens that Jecker is a man of iuiegrity and his claim valid. Furthermore, M. Billault declared very distinctly that France could not draw back.

The entertainment will be continued tomorrow evening, with entire change of programme. At this announcement, at the cioso of the performances, a general rush was made to secure seats, and we doubt if even this morning an eligible seat can be obtained, so anxious aro all to again witness the exhibition.

VW To cure the toothache, tnke apiece of sheet zinc, about the size of a sixpence, and a piece of silver, say a quarter of a dollar, place them together aud hold them between and contiguous to the defective tooth —in a few minutes the pain will be gone, as if by magic. The zinc and silver acting aa a galvanic battery, will produce an effect on the nerves of the tooth scfficiently to establish a current, and consequently relieve the pain.

sw Col. Cookerly has returned from Indisnapolis, where he bas been sojourning a short time for the purpose of improving his general health. Ho looks jolly,aud his friends think he will now recover without further treatment. He and Bayless Hanna, we learn, gave a concert just before leaving the capital, to the Democratic members of the Legislature. The Colonel sang his favorite "piece," which we believe is entitled "Twen-ty-five hundred." It differs somewhat from "Old Hundred," whiah be and his assistant performer sung at the jubilation meeting in this city a few months since. The perform ers will favor us with some music on Saturday next.

DASTARDLY OUTRAGE.—Our fellow-citizon Theodore Curtis, of the firm of Bement & Co while returning from the masquerade ball, night before last, was waylaid and assaulted with a slungshot by some cowardly and murderous ruffian, and badly injured.— We trust the wretch may be ferreted out and the extremest penalty ot the law meted out to him.

.social Condition of Washington. No one who has not visited Washington recently can appreciate the change that has iaken place there. The concourse of people on the streets, in tbe public buildings, and houses devoted to public entertainment, is incredible. Whence do they come?, why are they there? No visible employment occupies them. No hand seems to teed them. But the great throng remains—the thousands that leave in the departing trains are more than compensated for by the increased thou sands that the arriving trains bring in. Complaints are made that the railroads are inadequate to the accommodation of the travel seeking Washington. Heaven knows what would become of the hapless myrads that fail to roach Washington on this account, if an evil day should bring them double trailrailways to the Tiber Creek and the Potomac.

But why this ru3h to Washington? The presence of the army in Virginia does not explain it. The crowd is greater now, with Hooker on tho Rappahannock, than it was when McClellan, with a greater army, lay around Washington & year ago. Money rath er than Mass, we judge, carries the multitude to,Washington. Tbe pecuniary interests

involved in the legislation of Congress are so vast that they draw to Washington tens of thousands of people more than were in the habit, in former years, of visiting the Federal Capital.

Washington, in its social life, is now one of the marvels of the country. The place is crowded to repletion. But for its magnificent distances, it might be said to be crowded to suffocation. Every hotel is always full, audit is an affair of nightly occurrence for strangers arriving ou the late trains to wander about for hours fron' door to door of boarding houses and private residence?, seeking shelter jfor the night. Permission to sleep on the floor of a carpeted parlor, is a, boon that scores, if not hundreds of strangers in Washington, aro every week glad to obtain. Every nook and corner of houseroom that thrift can render available, is appropriated to public entertainmeut. And vast apartments that a few years ago were made moro desolate by au occasional solitary occupant, re now subdivided by thin partitions, and fitted up with bunks, wherein a dozen sleepers run the risk of making night hideous by their disturbances of eacb other. From 40,000 inhabitants when the war began, it is estimated that the population of Washington has now gone up to 100,000 and the cry is, "still they come."

But while this great increase of population, transient and resident, has taken place, there has been no increase in tho number of tenements fitted for human occupancy. Tho hospitals that Government built during tho past year for the sick and wounded soldiers, constitute the sum total of the aduition iu house building that Washington can boist of. Nor is there any sign of improvement in this direction. Real estate is dormant in the Federal City. Every ingenuity is employed to make tho most money out of the generally old, dirty and ill-contrived structures in the place, but none of the profits so eagerly gathered are expended in building better houses for the accommodation of the peoP'e-

We have not overdrawn tho social discomforts of Washington Every person of refined sensibility, or of decent habits even, who has had occasion to visit, Washington lately, knows that it is a severe affliction to do so. And a little reflection will satisfy any one that what is now an inconvenience mainly to transient persons, must soon become a grave difficulty in tho way of Government. Our Congressmen cannot hire respectable houses and live decently in Washington on their salary of $3,000 a year.— Much less can the thousands of Clerks of Departments and otucr humble employes of tho Government live honestly and fitly ou their pay of $800 to $1,500 per annum. The transient multitude pay better, and permanent renters and boarder? must give way be fore liiem, or pay the advanced prices that landlords expect.

What should bo done iu the matter? Tho law of supply and -demand has failed as yet to initiate a movement I ir reform. Nobody speaks of building new houses in Washington. Why? Because of war—because Washington is a prize in the struggle. It is the National Capital this year. What will it be next? Who knows? So reason the timid lot-holders of Washington. Two such hotels as our largest New York houses, could be filled from their opening in Washington. Nobody is found bold enough to build one. A thousand dwellings could be well rented without emptying present houses in Washington of their excojs of occupant.*. No one ventures to build a dozen. What can be done in this matter? The condition of our National Capital is a public disgrace If its overcrowding and filthine?j arc con tinued, it will be in danger of'i scourge by pestilcnco.—N. Y. Times. -a-

FROM THE RAPPAHANNOCK. srrciAL T6 TRIBTXE. WASHINGTON, March 6.—With the return of good weather the enemy has made his appearance .in greater force on the Rappahannock, and is materially strengthening his position. Hooker is on tho alert.

Honker's system of furloughs to private soldiers works admirably. Furloughed soldiers almost invariably return punctually, desertions becoming more aud more unfrequent.

TIMIS' SPECIAL.

Nothing is positively known in regard to distant military operations, only that the Government ie iu high spirits and sanguine of success.

Notwithstanding nnmerous assertions that Butler and Fremont are dtfiuitcly assigned to high commands, it is probably not true that either lus received any authoritative answer. It will probably prove that the settlement of each of their cases depends somewhat upon tho oihei, aod that their commands, if they get any, will be cooperation.

It is said General Rousseau has received trom tbe War Department authority to raise

ten regiments of mouuted infan ry to operate in the West against Forest an' Morgan and other guerrilla chiefs.
