"iTÄY2r on tb Situation The Journal acDOonce that truth ia "copperWd;.m.M ai Ijicg li "loyalty " Such must b lb boneat impression of all who read iu elt toHI of fterdj, hede4 ' The Sentinel on the Situation. In oor iue of ThurlaT tnoruine, ia few lire, we gare the ubnance of the telejrapbu: dipatche "on the situation." 1 he tel rripli is un ler jOTernDen: cer.jorhip, nd iti employe are ht are termed "loyal" men which raen, according to the modern interprettiou of IT term, allegiance to the Administration. Thi kini ot fetltj U cow retried lie tet of lovaSty. Those who queation the widom nd integritj of the men in power are rronouncel disloTal" by the a.ihereots of the Administration. In fct they boldly proclaim that the citizen baa no right to think, but that he muni blindly Yield hi judgment to thoe? who were elected by the people to administer the caeernment aa the reoreentatiea of th public will. But any reflection upon oir coure tome with ill rrace from the Retubtican orean. Beo fore the commeacement of hostilities, in elab orate articles it pronounced a civil war wone evil than the Iom of a dozen State it favored eoaration rather than civil war aiid month alter the capture of Fort Sutn ter it eapreaeed ita willinfme to let the rebe State deptrt from the Union and establish a separate confederacy, upon the single condition that tbey hould My down their arm and go in peace. And the leading Republican prints expressed similar aentimenti. They admitted that aeceMon was revolution; that our government wii bael uj.ou the right of revolution, and that disHAtiffied Slate had the riht to dUiolve their connection with the Union whenever, iu their opinion, the FeJet&l Guvertiment became oppreaVive to them Strange a it may appear, the paper which held and advocate.! tho!e views ia tow the fiercest in charging that e are pursuing a "disloyal" course. Rut wht U our oflene? The Journal pays thitour comment of Thursday upon the situation exhibit a disloyal heart. Did we not tell the truth, and i the truth disloyal? We id that gold w;n eighty three, the highest point it hadreched. Tht fact came through a "loyal" telegraph. We al Hated that Sm.el wa met nd deieated with severe loss; tint another draft of three hundred thousand men wa to be ordered, and that Lli wa still holding his portion at Sjmttsylvania. Did we do more thau brietly to reproduce the information that the telegraph, under government censorship, published to the world? But telling the truth was not our only offense. The Jo-irnil treason ia a declintion to which no honest man can object. We inquired, in view of the incapacity of the men in power to wisely and sue esfuUy adrniuiater ihe govern ment, whether it was not time that the people should uke charge of their own affairs? Thi the Journal construe to meau "a call upon the tens of thousands of sworn enemies to the Union in the North. to rie in all the might thev poess and endeavor to overthrow the government." In the language of the Journal we inquire, "What doe this mean?" We know of no enemies to the Uuioo in the North, unless it be . a V tnose wno, under tne eacreu name 01 union, are undermining the principle upon which it was founded, and which muit result, if successful, in a centralized despotism. In this view of the case we repeat the question, to which the Journal takes exception, "Is it not time that the people should take charge of their own afT.tirs?" Not by the "overthrow of the government," but through that peaceful revolution which the Constitution has provided the ballot box. And why? Using again the language of the article .to which the Republican organ injects, because "their aceaU have demonstrated most indisputably their incapacity to administer ihe govern ment." Self-government is the corner-stone of republican institutions. The verdict of the ballot box is the only authorized expression of the public will upon questions of public policy. To lht arbiter we appe.il, untrammeled and pure. And to its Terdict, when it records an hottest ex pre-'s'mn of public sentiment, f very cood citizen should oubmii. Thit is what we meant. The Journal knows that there was not a doubt but such W43 our ueAuiu. But it is evident th tt the pirty in power are a'raid to submit to such an ordeal. Ihe? well know that it would result in its overthrow, and the restoration of union and peace upon the basis of the Constitution. All the Democracy ask is a fair election. But it is evident that the purty in power, if the sentiments of the Journal are a criterion of its intentions, do not intend that the honest verdict of the people shall be recorded in the coming elections, and in advance they construe such an impression of public sentimeut as an intention to "overthrow the Government." The whole effort of the Administration has been, is, and w ill be, to perpetuate its control of the Government, and to that end the war h been, is now, and will be, prosecuted. Such is the situation as viewed from a Republican stand-point, and we repeat that there ia no hope, of a restoration of liberty and union, unless the people shall take charge of their own affairs and restore a conservative party to power. Declination of lion. J. A. Craven to be a Candldm for lie-election to Conyre Mound Sentiment. Hou. J ame! A. Ceavkss, Congresnnn from the Second District, in response to a letter from Hon. Uamilto.x Smith, inquiring whether he would be a candid tie for re-election in t!ie ap proaching canvass, expresses hi determination to retire from public life. It is unfortunate for the country that men of the tried integrity and ptriot;tn id Mr. Ctks should withdraw from the public service at a crisis like the present, but in his case considerations of a private nature appear to be paramount. Mr. Ckatkms, in expressing his acknowledgments for the tin qualified approbation of his official conduct by bis constituent, gives utterance to his confirmed convictions aa to the necessity of the triumph of Democratic principles in tb coming canvass to restore unity sod peace to the country, in seutimeots alike forcible, just and eloqueut. lie I says The faithful public servant wants no higher boon than to know that bis constituents approve of his official course. It is not my desire or purpose to be a candidate for re-election to Congress, and you are at liberty to tay t. my political triends that I ehall not be a candidate, but that I will be with them, in Ibeir efforts to secure he triumph of Democratic principles, io the approaching can vass. I thiok x can oesi attest toy gratitude for toe eetitTous support rnv constituents have given me heretofore v taitbtudy laboring to place in power men who ill e that the Government is administered on the principles of the fathers of the republic, atai who will de a od act up to all the obligations of the Coustltttion. My determination to retire to private life, at the exwration of my pretest official term, has rot been hastily or inconsiderately formed. The delicate health of ciy wife, my duty to her and

to my children, the long neg'ect of my private !Tir, and other corsideratioi a, have lr g since determined m ovtid D't to eek return to Ci-gre-I feel that I haiird no intete-t of my d:tri( t or country bv this step. becue there re mny comtetent an 1 worthy gentlemen in the district from whom the people cn select an excellent representative, hose views will r.o doubt be in hsrroony with thoe of all truly conservative and patriotic citizens. I thick it is cot improper tht I iboclJ fiy. that duriog the period 1 hare held a est n Congress as your repreer.ta'i ve, I have been constantly animUed by an ardent and aincer; desire to rromote the best interests of the country. I

have made no factious oppsit'oti to the legitimste measures of tie Adminiatration. V hile I hse ttedily oppjed aft Pedera! usurpations ot poer, I hive endeavored to uphold the arras of those whose pecMl and solemn duty it is to uphold the Constitution and the law. I am not ain enough for a moment to think that I have msde no mistakes or committed no blunders, indeed. I should be more than humsn to have passed through the storm of three yers of civil war in the counsel of the nation, where o many new iues are tried, and so rony new questions are presented, not to have failed in some thine. The kind furbe.rsnce of my constituents toward me during these tryiBg times has caused me to feel doubly gratelul to them, and The fact that the press of my di-trirt hss constantly sustained me. and hs uttered no word of disapprobation arainst mv coune as vour representative, places me under the highest obligations to be faithful to the trust imraitted to my care. Having given my opinions at some length in the Houae of Representatives a few days ago, it is not necearT that I should allude to the con dition of the country in this letter to you, further than to bhv that I am deeply solicitous for the fate of the Republic. It is roy deliberate judgment tht the policy of those in power at this time will not bring peace, permanent ami lasting peace to the country, even with the mot decideil and favorable military results; nt:d wnn out such results, and that soon, we shall be finan cially ruined. Thi people otijht to know and deeply feel that all the tendencies are to the centralization of power in the hands of ore m m, or, at most, i few men at Washington. Corruption is reward ed. merit is nee!e:ted, vice is supported, and public virtue is at a discount. A change of rulers and a change of policy are the only hope I nave of stving the Union and the Cousutu tion. We have been educated to think our Govern ment could not be de-troved, we have forgot'.en the history of the past, we have failed to rem ?m ber that the Roman citizen once felt the same pe curitr, and it possible in a much higher degree We have loreotten how ambitious men worked the overthrow of that once proud republic; ho civil commotions and frauds cued the death bv violence of twentv outof twenty five of her rulers How the soldiers of the 1'iaetoti.in Guard xctually sold the crown and the right to rule the people at public aiiCMon, frm the ramparts, to one Julisn, for a sum lers than two hundred pounds sterling. The anititiou Julian after l.e tint on the pur chased rohe of office, at last tell by the hand of the assasHti, and such nre the lessons of history; they admonish us of the dangers to be appre hended. I have had, and I still have faith In man's ca pacity lor felf government but surely thst great problem is now under severe tri I in this contest. and should it f til, aa I trust in (rod it may not, the cause of civil and religious liberty will co back for centuries. My faith in the principle of true Democr.icv is uifhakeu, and every day's experience add to the strength of my conviction, that the sooner the Government is placed under the control of those who will administer the nffurs of the nation on the principles of Democracy, the uooner will we have pece, prosperity, and union. The people must be aroused to a lull realization of the impending danger that threatens to overwhelm them We must have a free press, free speech, a free ballot, and we will ak no more. With these weapons untrammeled, if we are beaten we will submit without a murmur; but these we mutt have, or the consequences must tall on the heads of those who would attempt to deprive us of either. Well Suild. The New Nation received the following letter, which the Radicals heartily endorse: "I have come to the conclusion that thereelection of Mr. Lincoln would prove a greater calamity to the country than would the election of any other man who stands any chance of a nomination. Many well meaning people are greatly concerned lest the criticism of Mr. L ncoln's Administration should lead to a division of the Republican party und the election ot a Copperhead. If even this should be the case, I am not certain that it would prove more disastrous to the country thn an unquestioning acquiescence of the loa' pattof t tpople n the reelection of "Honei Old Abe." If pro slavery conservatives are to dictate the policy for another four yeürs. it would be as well, perhaps, that they should bear the re.-ponsibility and the shame of their principles. 1 do not see the essential difference between the policy of Mr. Lincoln, as set forth in the Amnesty Pioclamation and exemplified by the action of his subordinates under it. and the peace policy of Mr. Wood. True, Mr Wood would otTer pardon and a full restoration of all their rights to all the rebels, while Mr. Lincoln's proclamation excepts certain classes and requires them to respect II laws of Conjrress and the prod am ition. freeirfg .slaves; but how has he carried it out in Louisiana?" We copy the foregoing from the Freie Press, the organ of the Republic Germans of Indiana. Vr unci Crime. The W instead (Connecticut) Herald, in a review of an article in the Bridgeport Standard representing New Haven as terribly demoralized and as containing six hundred prostitutes, says: The number seems astonishingly large, but it should be considered that New Haven has been little else than a military camp for the last three years, and prostitution follows military operations like a hideous shadow. Nor is New Haven the only locality in which this degrading vice has i hriven since the war broke out. That event seems to h ive lifted the flood gates ol licentiousness throughout the land, and "the peculiar vices of larj;e cities" hive not lost their peculiarity in their universal prevalence History and "books" have doubtless thousand times told the reader in vacue. general terms of the "evils of war," but history and "the looks" have but half re vealed their loathsome nature and their broad, blighting sweep Truly.it becomes a people to pause and consider before they accept the gge of battle. Grkek Fire Bi rnedOct A Moni Island correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer gives the following: People st the North, unfamiliar with this siege, hsve heard a great deal ahut "Greek fire." which, it was said, was thrown into Charleston; and tht fiery mixture was reported to have been terribly destructive. I will r-b the sieie of thst tnrbatity, for not a drop or a particle of Greek ere ever reched that crty from our batteries.

A flwften Convention. The following highly important dispatch appeared in our telegraphic report yesterday morning: "A ms State Convention was called at Be.ufort.

"Spirituallaa.'-A few of its BenuHe. In the Spiritual Convention at New York, on Thursday, a young man delivered a very fluent speech, to the effect thst they were about instituting a mighty reform, and should see th.U it becomes practical. They should preserve their manhood. Whether they go to heaven or bell, let them go with their manhood. If to the latter p'ace, they would rise in the dignity of their in tellects and revolutionize hell. Great applause. Cries of "We will." Miss J. J. CUrk, a pale and thin girl, with a jockey hat, next mounted the rostrum She albided to the "beautiful young man" who had preceded her, and related an incident that occurred lately, when n young man came to her to be convinced. They joined hmds and went iuto a trance state, and he was visited by the spirit of a lovelv girl whom he had loved. When thev came out of the trance state heaked her "W hat have you done to nie?" Sb; replied, "I have ! done nothing; if anything has otcuired it has! been the work of the spirits." She was always ' ready to welcome any inquirer after truth that she could assist in coming to the liiiht, and to give that love which you call free. Applause and one hiss j Rev. Mr. Ferguson, a tall man with bushy whiie hair, was called up. He proceeded to speak very gibly, and emphtsizd his words by violent contortions of his body and lace, that ap pea red extremely pairilul- His theory was principVily on the war; that homoseneity consisted in uiverirv, and that the variety between geograph ical sections of the country does not appeal to the country as cogently demonstrating the mundane existence of a couÜict irrepressible. Agonizing writhings J Brother Loveland, a somewhat pcedy looking individual, wearing a dirty linen coat, was differently informed by 'the spirits from Bro Ferguson, inasmuch as he held that we must have a uniformity, a homogeneity of tiopularization in w hich each one, while preserving bis personality, meets his individuality in others. Other brethren made speeches, some advocating free love, some abolition, some infidelity, and some all three. One brother went strongly into the advocacy of free love. Under the present system of marriage girls, ciiitiot choose who they prefer to be the father of their children, but must take some one who Iihs property enough to support them. A brother iu the audience remarked to his neighbor, "He's a free lover." "Oh, yes, he gave all the isms," responded the other. "Well. I know he is," returned the first; "he turned t.ft" his own ( wife anl hail two or three other womeu. He's j got another wife now, and a man drowned him- I self a while ago atout this same woman. The brother continued his speech, and the semi believer above referred to finally ejaculated loud enough to be heard all around, "Oh, what damnable nonsense." Oar brother continued his speech some ten mitutes after he Lad been called to time. He closed by saying that he thought the women ought to wear the breeches. One sister, who had been impatient at his long speech, exclaimed: "I don't doubt bis w ife wishes s.he could wear a pair." Mr. Moses Howe, a young man, said he want ed the liberty, as a spiritualist, of being inde dendei.t wherever he mijiht be. If he were in he i ven he would claim the privilege of com mitting sin, if he felt like it; but he did not :eel like it. Applause He wanted erery one to have the free use ot their inclinations and natures Applause He had a purer religion than the Methodists. They were fed only by 1 half a bushel of truth, while bis hearers re j ceiTcd a lull -bushel in their spiritual stom-. achs. Applause Then they should be so, much better th in the Methodists. Apilaue i Mrs. M. A. Bliss, a lady of some thirty five' winters, commenced by remirking that the ad dress of brother Howe showed the secret sprines of theology. The revivalists and re j ligionists wanted men to become goo i from j fear ot God or to please the angels. But she ; hehl that they deemed it best to be good. Whatever they considered right thev should do. j Applause J She did not care if God and the: angels looked down on verv good and bid ! action she iiiiiiht do; she felt herseli iudenend ! ent, and she would acknowledge but the god which she. felt in herself. Applause Not to pleas all the angels in heaven would she be mild if she wanted to fight fapplau-e; and if she desired to be k mi or had shewould tie so. Applause HeHove of nature could not lake in the world; it was not sufli'ient to n district! tive to all; she had one love lor a few appreciative souls. Applause She did not love her colored brethren; and, if she was flayed alive, she could not be brought to mingle with them. She desired that they might be free from the lash and from slavery. Applause In a social sense her love h id not room enough for everybody. Applause. Dr. Hamilton, a till, slighi-built. elderly gentleman, with what misht be termed pre-eminently Yankee tenures of the elongated ordir, followed Mrs Rüss.

Greeley ought to end the Tibune to our Agency fur one year free. The Morton organ in the Fifth Congressional District, the Richmond Palladium, keeps fl)in at its mast-head. "For Congress, Sol. Meredith." We find the following extract from a cotemporary in the lst number of that paper: THREATENING GOV. MORTON. Mr. Julian's corps of gallant office holders threaten to open war upon Gov. Morton and turn their influence against the whole State ticket, in case the Union party of this District refuse to submit to the infamous frauds perpetrated iu Ku.dolph county at the recent notniuaiing elec tion. Let them open that style of warfare if they dare. Let Mr. Julian raise that flg and stait out in the canvass of this District under it, if he wants his fingers scorched etlVctuallv.

That can not now be urge!. A friend told us an anecdote that illustrates the situation: When Archie Eteb kept tavern in Liberty, he kept bis liquor in a cupboajd under lock and key. One d iy a customer came in and called for a "smile;" Archie unlocked the cupboardtook down a bot tie of "bald-face," got a glass and poured out as much as his patron needed The customer looked at the quantity and at the landlord very intently for about two minutes be fore he swallowed the contents of the glass, and exclaimed: "Arch.
