WEEKLY SENTINEL.

MONDAY, - - - - JULY 27. Xlie .Tlorgan Haid. . In conversation with a Major of a Wisconsin regiment, who was in the battle of Gettysburg, a few days ago, he remarked that he did not believe there was any disloyalty in the North. The people differed, aa they had a right to do, about the policy of the party in power, but this difference was no evidence of a want of patriotism or derotion to the Government. These sentiments be said were entertained by the army of the Potomac. We allude to this conversation, coming as it did from a rank Republican, to show the difference between a brave man who had periled his life in the service of his country and the stay-at-home Republican whose business it is to make political capital by misrepresenting the motives, sentiments and acts of their political opponents. The Morgan raid, which the Journal pronounce most remarkable, is an illustration of what we have stated. When it was announced that Morgan had crossed into Indiana with a large force, the people upon their own volition, aa well as upon the call of the Governor, without distinction of party, rallied In large numbers to drive the invaders from the State. If proper sagacity had directed the movements of the- men who had volunteered for the purpose, Mohgas could not have passed through Indiana as he did, with impunity. Fear, instead of courage and judgment, controlled those in authority. The Governor was unnecessarily alarmed for the safety of the capital; and if Morgan had made a diversion from Salem towards Indianapolis, ani if he could have had his way, the seat of government and the archives of the Sute would have been removed elsewhere. A reported threat of Mobqax that he intended to visit Indianapolis had just the effect that he intended. The people were brought here and kept here to defend the capital, while he was occessfully pursuing another route, devastating the country through which he passed. If the efforts of the men who had turned out upon i he route Mobgax took had been properly aided by the officials here, his whole force would have been captured within the State. But as it was, our forces were always in Morgan's rear, and as some officer in bis official report remarked, compelled him to "retreat out of Indiana." When the true history of Morgan's raid through our Sute is written, the military operations against him will be regarded as a farce. To cover up the ridiculousness of the affair, the otvler h.is gone forth to charge the Democracy wi'h having helped Mokgax through the State. This the Journal intimates, and it is the little hole through which the Republican officials hope to escape. The court organ, in its issue of yesterday, after charging that "where the K. G. C's (meaning the Democrats) were thickest, there was full information in Morgan's possession of all he wished to know," it remarks: "Already steps are on foot to detect these men, and some who have figured no little iu public life may find the veil too thiu to cover the favor ?hey showed the freebooter and his crew." Yet in the same article it makes admissions a3 to the conduct of the people on the route over which Morgan's band passed, which refutes the slanders it coin? against them. We mike a few extracts: Upon reaching Corydon a general thieving commenced- Watches, pocket books, knives, jewelry and liquors were jseized everywhere. Hon. Mr. Woife lost his watch and purse, and there was no respect paid to party so long as a man had plunder. Mr. Wolp-k is the Democratic Senator from Harrisou county, and is a fair representative of the Democracy of that section of the State. He certainly had no sympathy with Mobgax, nor was be shown any favor by the freebooter. Aciin: Yet with much of local treason, the people, as a mass, were true, and Morgan himself, in some instances, swore roundly at some who boasted that they were opposed to the war, and repeatedly showed favors to others who bravely maintained their attachment to the Union. What kind of favors did he show to ''those who bravely maintained their attachment to the Union?" The Journal thus explains the enigma: Good guides were always found, and, strange as it wis, montr, in specific sum, was demanded from person who thought only their best friends knew they bad it. And it says Morgan got his information about in this wise: In Corydon the spy was a young man who had visited there, three weeks before and returned with Morgan. Yet it irupuirns the integrity of the citizens of that place because a spy sent by M org ax obtained information, which anv bodv could under similar circumstances. In some places through Ohio, Mohgax forced staunch Republicans to become hU guide, or give him necessary information, under the threat of death. Yet would it be right to charge that they were men "who skulked from the defense of the;r homes, in avowed sympathy with the S,uthT" In every community are bad men, men who will ctuuiii crime for lucre, but is it right because there are a few such to impugn the integrity of a !? Th:s attempt to make political capital out of the .V org ax raid, when the Joucnnl admits th t i e roh;ed all parlies alike aud if he showed any Uror it waa to "Union" men, is most dastv!!y. 15'Jt what else can be expected from a rr'j't ho-e idea of loyalty and patriotism is embrace! in misrepresenting and lieing about its politic k opponents? And that's what it has been doing since the war commenced. Before that period, it was strenuously advocating a separation of the States as the true policy of the North. The New Yartc allots. The Abolition journals are making a vigorous e'fjrt to show that leading politicians in New York instigated the recent riots in that city. We copy an article from the New York Journal of Commerce which most effectually sets at rest that infamous slander. Notwithstanding the most thorough investigations by Coroners' juries and all the efforts 01 the New York police, who are Republicans and under the control of Republican Commissioners, not one person has been identified as having been connected with those riot a who had any political standing or influence in that city. M my of the most prominent rioters were killed, yet only a very few of them, if any, were recotrnized. ' With these facts staring them in the face, there are many bigoted partisans who are endeavoring to create the impression that the riot in New York was preconcerted, and that It was a part of a genenl plan to overthrow the Government. It is only base men, or ignorant men whose rruty prejudices control their judgment, that would give currency and credence to such vile and improbable slanders. These lies are originated by men who for yeirs have been advocating dissolution of the Union, and who now favor the war as a means of carrying out their devilish party schemes, not to rentore the Union which waa founded by WaViingtoa and bia compatriots of the Revolution of T6. What hope for the preservation of free institutions when ruch party passions and prejudices prevail? A Bostou paper rys: S dem, Massachusetts, has six Protestant clerf ymen liable to be drafted, and the revolutions of the wheel have transformed them all into soldier. We venture to aar not one of these six recruits will allow himself to be mustered in. They will pay the $300, or their congregations will pay It for themRcjrsiso AwaT A Boston paper says at )st a thousand of the men drafted in Boston ave gone to Canada.

Tbe Conscription Act How It lad tho Senate A History in I'art ol ibe 1300 flaute. ' f.. It is urged io the Abolition press, as a sort of moral prop for this act, not only that it passed Congress, but tht it passed the Senat unanimously, and thereby received the moral support, as well as legislativ support of all the members of that body. The passage of the act was secured through an unparliamentary trick of Republican or Abolition Senators, and as the circumstances under which it was adopted may have passed out of remem bra nee, the following extracts of tbe proceedings in the closing hours of the last Congress, may be read by all with advantage at this particular time: From tbe Congressional Globe.) Official Report. Mr. Powell of Kentucky. Do I understand the Chairman Potneroy to say that the bill is

passet! T The Chair. The bill is passed. Mr. Powell. By what kind ot jockeying? Mr. Trumbull. I call the Senator from Ken tuck y to order. Mr. Bayard Docs the Chair decide the report of the Conference Committee to have been adop ted by any vote of the Senate? The Chair I understand that the report has been adopted. Mr. I owed Did I not most distinctly state that the Senator from Delaware Bavard only yielded the floor to a motion to adjourn? The Chair I did not hear the Senator from Kentucky say that the Senator from Delaware yielded the floor for any particular purpose. Mr. Trumbull I believe I am entitled to the floor The Chair The Senator from Illinois (Mr. Trumbull) is entitled to tbe floor unless he yields it. Mr. rowell 1 desire to asK tne jnair Mr. Trumbull I do not yield to the Senator from Kentucky to ask any question. Mr. Bayard I desire to appeal from the de cision of the Chair. I desire to at certain whether the minority have any rights remaining here. Mr. Howard moved that the senate adjourn. Mr. Richardson mo veil to reconsider the motion by which tbe bill was claimed to be passed by the Senate. Mr. Powell spoke until half past three o'clock in the morning, when he moved that the Senate adjourn. . . Motion rejected by yeas 4. navs 32. Mr. Bayard commenced speaking against the bill, ano' spoke until half past four o'clock, when he yielded the floor to Mr. Powell, who again moved that the Senate adjourn, Motion rejectail by yeas 4, nays 33. Tbe question then recurred ou agreeing to the report of the Conference Committee. , Tbe vote was called, and the Chairman, Mr. romeroy, of Kansas, declared the report agreed to. Mr. Trumbull moved to take up the act relative to the validity of the deeds of public squares to the city of Washington. Motion agreed to. Mr. Powell I hope the Senate will proceed with the consideration of the report of the Conference Committee. Mr Grimes I'naT bill is massed. Mr. Powell Oh nol The Senator from Dela ware (Rtyard) is entitled to the floor. Mr. Trumbull I call tbe Senator from Kentucky (Powell) to order I am on the floor and I moved to take up another bill, and that motion has been carried. Mr. Bayard Neither the manner ror the language of the Senator from Illinois (Trumbull) will cause me to yield my right to the floor to which I am entitled. Mr. Grimes Did the Senator from Illinois (Richardson) vote with the majority? If be did not. be could not move for a reconsideration. At a quarter to five A. M., the Senate ad jo med. Comments on the foregoing are unnecessary. The report speaks for itself. The Conscription Act is thus proved to be unparliamentary and unconstitutional in the manner of its adoption. But there is no appeal from the Senate official Record which declares it passed as if unanimously and yet here is the Official Record of the debate! 8KXATOR TR 121 BILL OX TUE $34)0 CLAUSE. March 2d. After the net had passed the Senate, Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois, moved to repeal that part of the 13th section of the act, in which is the $300 clause. EXTRACTS FROM THE DEBATES. From the Congressional Globe. Mr. President, I have offered this amendment iu view of the (act that an objection is made in many quarters to that provision of the act for enrolling and calling out the national forces which allows money to be substituted for blood. The bill provides, as will be recollected by Senator, that any person, by paring to the Secretary of War, a sum not exceeding $300, may discharge himself from the draft. It is said ly persons who are unable to furnish $300 that the rich are to escape this draft, the men of property are to es cape, while the men that cannot raise $300, and are subjected to the draft, have no way of escap ing, but are compelled to go into the service. The proposition that I have offered, does not prevent the procuring of a substitute. If it is adopted, the bill would still provide for substitutes; but it would compel a person who was drafted, rich, or poor, to get a substitute in his place, or else to perform the service himself. Ought not that be so? Is it right to fix the bill in a certain sum by which a mm of property may discharge himself from the military service? If he ran procure a substitute to go for him, let him make his own terms, and furnish hU substitute; but shall we say in the Uw. "If you will pay the Secretary of War $3tHt, yon shall not be com pelled to serve in the armies of the country for its defense; but they shall be compelled to serve who are unable to furnish the money?" I trust that my friend the Chairman of the Committee on Military Affiirs will consent to the adoption of this amendment, and allow it to go upon this bill. Mr. Wilson of Massachusetts I wish to say that this provision was put into the bill for the benefit of the poor men of this country. Mr. Trumbull They do not so regard it. Mr. Wilson of Massachusetts I believe they so regard it; but some persons who do not understand, look at it iu aiiother light. Mr. Trumbull I can not see this matter in the light in which the Senator from Massachusetts does. He says it is a clause in favor of the poor men in this country. Why, sir, the poor tneir of this country have got to go. They can not furnijrh this moner. He leaves it to the discretion of tbe Secretary of War to aay that, if a man pays fifty dollars in money, he need not furnish a substitute; but if he nays fifty dollars in money he is to be discharged from the draft. What is the man to do who can not pay fifty dollars in money ? He has got to go. Are yon for passing a law that shall compel a man to go and meet the foes of his country upon the battle field and undergo the hardship of a campaign, its dangers and its exposures, when he can not raise fifty dol lars, and release the man who can raise fifty or three hundred dollars from going or paying that sum of monev? It is not a provision in favor ot the poor men of this country. They cannot buy the right to stay at home. Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts How are they going to get a substitute? Mr. Trumbull They will go; they cannot get a substitute; they do not employ a substitute Your bill does not provide for a poor man's get tins; a substitute; and he can not get a substitute unless he can furnish a sum which shall be fixed bv the Secretary of War, which shall not exceed $300. The poor men of the country, when drafted, hare got to enter. the service; but the roan of property, when he is drafted, pay his money and escaped going into the service. Now, I would prefer having it that every person drafted shall be compelled to perform the service, or let him make his own arrangements about getting a substitute. The Senator says if that i the ce, the price of substitutes will be very high. Private enterprise will regulate iuelf on that subject. If this amendment be adopted,' person who is so situated that he cm not go, or does not want to eoter the service for some reason or other, if he has the mean, may employ a substitute in his place; but I would not say to the people of this oountry, when I was passing a general bill to bring into the service all able bodied men of the natiou " All of yon who can pay $300 shall escape tie service, and all those who can not must be drafted, and compelled to euter the service." Mr. Shermau of Ohio (Republican) said among other things: I know there will be a little clamor made about allowing a man to exempt himself by giving money; but I take it, we are above clamor, or should'be prepared to meet it. In r vw-.. law, the law of substitution is a part ot it, and roust be ao. Everybody admit that. The Senator from Illinois himself admits it. If we allow the principle of substitution, we must take that system which, while it furnishes us with the best soldier, will be the least burdensome to the drafted person; and I think that system is the one which fixes the price of the substitute at th

staudard price which a man who comes forward and offers himself as a substitute will be entitled to receive from the Government of tne United States. There is another reason. When a person is drafted, and that person presents a substitute, he pays at ooce to the substitute a gros sura of' money, and very often the substitute squanders that money before he assumes the burden of military duty, which, if left to a general law and general regulation, - tbe Secretary of War ' might very well say, when he employs a substitute, that a portion of the money should not be paid until the end of the war, and a portion of it only at the beginning,

just as, under the present system, bounties are paid, in every possible point or view, therelore, nt this is an important question, I say it is better that there should be a fixed price for a substitute, and let the law stand as it is. I do not want to see so much fluctuation in the terms of this very important law. I believe tbe conscription will save this country. Ever since its passage, I hive had more confidence in the success of our arms, acd iu the final triumphant termination of the war. I therefore think it is a law that ought not to be tampered with, except for strong reasons. The provisions of the law will soon be understood by the people, and I believe they will respond to it with patriotic ardor. We ought not to change the provisions of the law, except for strong reasons. Mr. Trumbull The law has not gone into force yet. Mr. Sherman But still it has been published all over the country, and is prejty well understood I think, therefore, it ought not to be changed, except for strong reasons. Mr. Richardson. (Dem.) I can not but say that I am very much delighted with the proceedings of to-day. We passed in hot haste, I think, last Saturday night, a conscription bill, and we have already had two propositions to amend it by gentlemen who voted for it. I think if w sit here two or three days meet we shall have propositions to amend other portions ot that bill and I think, by the next session of Cong; ess, we shall have a proposition to repeal it altogether. Mr. Wilkinson, (Ky.) I hope this amendment of the Senator from Illinois will be adopted. It seems to me, if the bill stands as it now does, it will operate in favor of that class of our population who are able to pay the price fixed for substitutes, and it will operate very hard against those who are not able to pay. 1 would rtther that the money clause in the original bill shjuld be stricken out, as this bill provides, and Isave the party to furnish his substitute as is therein provided. There are many reasons for this. It seems to me th it advantage will be taken of this provision by that class of people, and they are quite numerous, who are endeavoring to make everything the Government is doing unpopular with the people. Mr. Wilson. (Mass.) They do not sueeeed very well, though. Mr. Wilkinson I hope they do not. I believe there is too much patriotism in the people to allow them to succeed very well in their attempt. At the same time, so far as my voice and my vote go, I would rather remove all objection aud all ground for cavil against this or any other law that we may pass topnt down the rebellion. I thought the other Jay when it was proposed to subject members of Congress to thisuraft, that it was wrong, because I considered that the Constitution set them apart for a specific duty; but Conrer-3 was so bent on making this law universal, making it a popular law, that although there are but two or three Senators who would fall within this Inw, they were determined they should be liable to this conscription net. Now I want to strike out this money clause, and if I am drafted, I w ;nt to go. I do not want to buy mv way out of the army with $150, or $200. or $300'. I see no reason why men of wealth, men who are abundantly able to pay the price prescribed by the proper department, should not ri:,!c their lives in defense of their country just as well as the men who cannot raise $300. They are the very men who should go, because, if anything, they hfve a greater interest in the maintenance of the Government and in the suppression of this rebellion than any other class, a;nl they ought to fi- ht it out.

Captain Charles A. Nay lor, of Lafayette, died on Tuesday last, from a severe wound in the ankle occasioned by a fall from a dray some three months since. The limb was amputated the day previous. Captain Najlor was for several years Prosecutor of the Circuit Couit for that Dirtrict, and for four years Auditor of Tippecanoe county. He recruited the 16th Indiana battery in the spring of 1662, and served honorably in the Virginia campaign under General Pope. He was a good citizen and discharged every public trust faithfully. Crawford Couxtt. In proportion to its population, Crawford county has sent more men to the present war than fnj other county ir. Indiana. Aud yet when calied upon formen in the late Morgain raid, nearly five hundred of iu cui zcus responded to the call. Glorious little Crawford! What a proud record has it made in this war for the Union. N. A. Ledger. Baseness Whiie the Rebel Morgan was piling through a village in the northwest part of Harrison county, some of the gn; went to a well known citizen aud demauded six hundred dollars. There being no help for the matter, the six hundred dollars were given in Kieenlacks. The Rebel tlieu said he wan led six hundred dol lars in gold, which he had been told by a citizen of the place was iu possession of the mau he was robbing. Tbe six hundred dollars was of course drawn from its hiding place and handed over to tbe freebooter. Thus was a worthy man robbed of twelve hundred dollars through the baseness of a neighbor and fellow citizen. Who can coin a word sufficiently strong to characterize such an act of infamy? The Brook vil Je Democrat contains the fol lowing Abolition vandalism: - On Tuesday last, our town was visited by fltby specimens of Abolitionists, and under the following circumstances: The raid of John Morgan had excited the people. Democrats and Republicans were united as one man in the determination to give the freebooter a warm reception. Citizens of neighbor ing counties, irrespective of party, had arrived at Brook ville to lend a helping hand. All the houses of our citizens were converted into taverns for the accommodation of our friends from abroad. Political distinctions were unknownAll was harmony and good feeling, and every effort made to treat from tho.se abroad with the respect and comfort decent men are entitled to.' In the evening, just after the malted infantry from Fayette county had been ri supper, a company arrived in town on the Venice pike, and word was triven that thev would be distributed to partakiof the hospitalities of the people. They had not dismounted, however, before their val-' iai.t . color bearer produced as ' trophy, what he denominated a secession Aug, and boasted of having compelled a Democrat in Ohio to cut down the pole from which it floated in order they might capture it; and to astonish the people, "he unrolled a streamer ol the usual "red, white and blue." on which was printed the wjrda "Vallandigham and Pufh" the names of the Democratic candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Go verndr of t)hii. The roomen' the streamer waa nnfurted and exhibited, the vision of warm supper rieparte!, except in the haunt of some things ns dirt .is these filthr creature themselves. It was an act which called fnr and received the condemnation of every Democrat and decent Republican in town. This Abolition band had hd the meanness to attack and destroy a national Qg, while its owner and his nlghbors were absent jh pursuit of the Rebel chieftain,' then destroying the proerty of ciMzens of Ohio." It is their style f patriotism. ' Wa are told they bail from Rush county. We hope they are im" pesters and do not live there, for they are disgrace to any Sute of the Union as it is or was, Not th or South. When the Rebels retreated from Gettysburg, they left behind them six surgeons to take care of their wounded. .

' From tbe Milwaukee Svt. Ignorant Iobrialn Facts Since the Republican presses evidently intend to turn the mob in New York to party account, we propose in kindness to ask them a few plain

questions, and to remind them of a few plain facta. It may do them good. Who composed the " ignorant mob" who danced around the Democratic newspaper offices in this Sute twenty-four months ago? Against whom has our neighbor of The See Uote been obliged, we think more than once, to fortify his property? Who threatened Beriah Brown in Milwaukee in Icbl, and smashed his omce in Sacramento in 1663? To what political party did that mob belong which in IfeGl assaulted a small printing office on the Michigan lake shore, not over thirty-five miles from here; with intent to destroy it? Who were they who n 162 wan tonly maltreated a respectable farmer in Keno sha county? Who a few months ago dragged another helpless man from bis team in the city of Racine and abused him till they were tired of the brutal sport? Who dragged an unoffending Milwaukee attorney through the streets of the same city, thrust him into a filthy shanty over night, and then escaped even a reprimand from our loyal Goveruor, who happened to be preseut about the time. What sort of a mob was that in Greena county, last year, which seized upon an inoffensive old man, and brutally injured and insulted bim because of his political opinions? To what party do those presses among us belong which have openly threatened, countenanced and justified mobs during the whole of the last two years? What press was that which, not three weeks since, with ignominious pleasure related the fact that a man was struck down in our streets for ut tering his honest political seciments? We hav aeen something of mobs the past two years, and we well know v.ho has instigated them, who has been threatet ed with them, and who has suffered by them. T. e Democrats know who they are that have been ;orced month after month to stand on guard against lawlessness and unprovoked violence. Man" of the very men who have now bee me reckless with brute pas sion in New York time and ti me again have been called upon to protect the property of New York from an "ignorat; mob" not of Democrats, but of Aboh'ionists, resolved upon tbe destruction of life ad property. Who does not remember the malf'tnde of handbills plastered on New Yoik walls by Abolition hands at midnight, invoking brutal violence upon men whose Eole offense was friend! ness to law? to ho does not know that men of wealth and position have been forced to fly from New York to find that protection which the courts were powerless to afford; that boys, womer and editors have been dragged to prison, some'inies in irons, for the conscientious advocacy Ct pence, in spite of law and its legitimate ministe: s? Who shall forget that reign of terror when brute force became the arbiter of the fate of evety Democrat in the loyal States, And who does net know that the doctrine of "necessity" has become so seduously inculcate! that men came to 'ook for protection nowhere, for property or for life, save to guns and human muscle? The Democracy have argued aud plead against these exhibitions of dUrespc ct for law and for propertv, as a mother would plead for the lives of their children but io vain. In vain have we wnriied the party in power ag iinst these lessons of violence and lawlessness whicit they are recklessly teaching the people. In vabi have we admonished them of the possible turn in the wheel of fortune wheu their own prajtices and precepts would rome back to plague their inventors, if not to disorganize society itself. We hale a coppernead moV' as heartily as we hate an Abolition or Republican mob. They are all alike a horde of wild beasts, iguornnt" and brutish, let loose upon community to devastate, demolish and destroy. In tbe denunciation of them, or in effof ts to put thtm down, we know no distinction one from the .tlier. But we sol emnly protest against the stfort to cast the respontiihility ol these culatrliiea upon tbe party which has been the victim of them for two years past, and which has steadily und bravely encoun tered all things which man can endure to avert them Let our Republican uiends learn from the light of the burning bui:diugs iu New York and the hoarse roar of the multitude surging through its streets, the duty of respecting the rights of men and of. protecting property and life from lawless invasion. 1 hen will all parties stand shoulder to shoulder n defense of public liberty aud public order. A Few Facts for History. The radical journals reiten: ie, in each day's is sue, the charge that the late riots were delibcr ately planned, organized and ed. The planners, orsanizers and leaders were "copperheads," or "Northern sympathizers with the rebellion." There never was a clearer case of assertion where the "wish was father to the thought," or where the facts were more completely opposed to the theory. The riot broke out week ago Monday. Before it had been under headway an hour, de tectiveoflicers were dispatched to the scene of disturbance to mark aud report the leaders. Since that time, up to the last filit in 22J street, there has probably not been a singl.- street broil of any consequence in which an emissary of the police, department has not watch'..! ior the leaders. Facts have been observed so ti:at they would be knowuagaiu; acts and words have been noted that rnijilit hereafter be used '.i evidence if occasion requires. It was seen to be a matter of the first importance to know who was instigating tbe excesses of these mad rioters, aud a practised and acute detective force have beut their whole energies to the task. And what have they found out? They know, and have arrested, the person'' who made the only two or three harangues delivered to the mob; and the speakers prove to be indi viduals entirely unknown to the public, and ntver mixed up with any school of politics. They ,iave seized upon a number who are fully identified as leaders, conspicuous with muskets or ch-hs, and they turn out to be nobodies in pa :'ion or influence Under tho well directed fin of howitzers and muskets, central figures in Mie mobs were seen to fall dead. The Coronei - have held ne irlv sixty inquests on the bodies c; rioters, and not a single man of the least public note ha been recognized among them. Of over a hundred ces of gunshot and other wound treated at the hospitals, not one w;s inflicted, uoii a c:tizeu of any notoriety, on the i,!e f the i'oters Now, it" ail there facts prove anything, thty prove that the mob hid no. leaders of influence, such as t'je radica's are gtrivi;ig t'i hitch on it. But the radicals determined to make out a case, insist that the le.Urs all keil out of the way! Think of a Colonel ktt uing aloof from his regiment, or a Captain from his com any, in a field of battle, ami you hive j-. parallel instance of absurdity. Organized bodie uje not apt to fight without a commander. If the mobs of last week bad been deliberately org.iniz.d. as. the radicals assert, instead of improvised gatherings of fierce ami impulsive men, would they have been likely to have entered upon their horrid week' work without their ringleaders? The i lea that the leaders shirked their responsibility, from cowardice, is perfectly ridiculovs. ia all the organized mobs of which the lustory of this city uivc a:iy account, the leaders c imeout boldly, and seemed to jrlory iu their position. They always do. The names of public men who took part in the old Abolition riots, the bread riots, the Astor Place Opera House riot, and the other serious disturbances of the peace which have occurred from time in time, were well enough known. . If the city reader will rub up his memory of those old events, he will agree to the truth of this statement. But here is a riot which lasts not a day but a whole week, in which not two thous tnd but thirty thousaud people are engnged, a riot which was ten times more serious than all the previous riots put together, and where ni e the leaders? Tbe people and the police have been trving to find them out for a week and cannot. And why? Because, so far as all the evidence goes, there were no leaders Strange phenomena are continually ot cuninsr, and this Is one of them. It was a huge riot, without a directing bind or brain a montrous mob swaying hither and thither at the mad impulse of the moment The radicals coulinually birt that the unseen and unheard leaders were champions of the Democratic, or conservative, party. Now, it is a curious fact which can not be cenied, that all men who headed volunUry organizations to crush out the mob were men of that party.- Every man who raised troops under Gov. Seymour's call was a conservative. With the efficient co operation of tho men, the Governor secured ao extra Xorce of several thousand able-bodi H cilijten.

Longstreet has been killed three "times during this war, and yet takes his nourishment regularly. - The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette says: "This puts us back into next year," Such was Vice President Hamlin's exclamation when the escape of Lee's army was announced to him. That was in the midst of our. forces, and under all the influences that always exist there favora ble to delay and apologetic for disaster. Here the feeling seems to have been at once more decided and more bitter. The President declares Lee's escape the greatest blunder of the war. Others are not wanting to cry already for some man who can pursue and fight. The most discouraging news we have heard about the Army of the Potomac is the announcement that Vice President Hamlin bad gone to Gen. Meade's headquarters Boston Post. We have subsequently heard something more discouraging than that. Senators Wade and Chandler followed Vice Pretident Kami in. The consequence was inevitable. Lee's whole army has escaped across the Potomac. Chicago Times. The Provost Marshal General has decided that drafted men after being examined and found physically able bodied, can, if they choose, pay $300 commutation, or furnish a substitute in lieu of personal service. A decision to the contrary had previously appeared.

The in jority of the Republican party have but one rnuc-dv for every popular discontent That letnedv is t l:oot down the offenders. No matter whether eight millions ot people in the South r eight lh.;usind orkingmeu in New York break iti law, iliei!e remedy proposed is the same kill mid flay the wh-de of them. The political policy id the Administration is not now Mopoitfd t more limit trt-e fink ol' the people of i he Unitut Stute1 wro lived harmoniously together under th? cons. ;tut:o four years ago; yet a unanimous Mippnrt of hat policy is demanded, and the mean rci'et! upon for securing it are prisons, bayonets and banishment. The idea seemes never to have entered the heads of these novices iu the business of government, that they are themselves in any part responsible for the exis'ing troubles. In their philosophy they have never dreamed that the honest aud easy way to govern a people is to respect the popular will. They have forgotten that their duty is not to crush, but to represent, the will of the nation which they attempt to govern. Erecting a standard of their own, devising a test of loyalty unknown to law and re pulsive to the governed, they command the people to obey, hurling defiance and death at all who onenfy or silently, as they are pleased to term it, "oppose the Government." Tbe duties of government and people are reciprocal. The latter derive their protection from the former, but, the former derives all its legitimate authority from the latter. Morally, it is as much a crime tor those who administer the government to disobey the clearly expressed will of the people as it is for the people to disobey the will of those who administer the government. If those who represent the government attempt to consummate a policy contrary to the public will and resort to brute force for its accomplishment, by the inevitable laws of nature, the people become rebellious in heart and action. This is the secret of all political mobs and revolutions. Every capital in Europe will attest the fact. Kings who have failed to appreciate this truth in power have discovered it in midnight flights from their thrones. Ought not we to comprehend a principle which was so palpably recognised in the constructioa of our own organic Uw? : Let us rut down moos, rebellions and revoln-' tiona. Or course we wid. But let us also extirpate the inevitable causes of mobs, rebellions and revolutions, by bringing the Government into harmony with the people. If the sword must be used, let its glitterine and effectual blade symbolize the national will. Let it be wielded against factions, and not by factions. Let the blow, come from tho people and not be directed at them. Then we shall have neither mobs nor rebellion, for the people are not likely to meb themselves, nor to rebel against a Government which embodies their every wish and hope.Milwaukee News.

x , Keep It in Tllnd. ' Lit us Dot for au instant forget that the war

in which we are engaged is not a war of conquest, or of subjugation, or tor the extermination of people or of institutions. It is a war to enforce tbe power of Government, to preserve the supremacy of the Constitution in all parts of the Union. 1 be war is not punitive. It is no part ot its ob ject to punish traitors. Civil war is not tbe ad ministration of justice. It is the attempt to as sert the power of the Government, nnd the courts as part of the Government to administer justice. It is a great error made by some persons, who imagine that war is designed by Government for the purpose of punishment.' This war has as ob ject which ought to be kept constantly before us. and whenever designing men, politicians, or oneidea men seek to divert it from that object, they should be met, resisted and defeated. It is a melancholy fact that the war. sad and terrible as it is, becomes oltentimes the tool of evil minded meu to accomplish their ends. The horrors of its continuance are nothing to their view. The blood shed counts of no value in their measurement. Tbe mourning it causes provinces no impression on their sensibilities, buch men lose uil consciousness of personal re-spont-ibilitf for, the war. and only look to selfish desires to be realized. What right has any man, or any claoj of men. to use this wur for any pur pose beyond its original object? If they indeed have diverted it from that, if they have prolonged it one day, added one drop of blood to its sacrifice, by their ciTorts to u-e it for otr.er ends than its original designs, then thev are responsible be fore God and man for the blood and cost. There is no evading that responsibility. . Some men siv "now tlvt the war has com roenced it must not be stopped till slavcholding is abolished. buch men arc neither more nor less than murderers. The name seems severe. It is nevertheless correct. Would it have been justinaoie ior tne .ortnern states to commence a war on the Southern States for the sole purpose ot abousiiing slavery in them? Ito! It would have been murder to commence such a war. By what reasoning, then, does it become less murder to divert a war commenced for other purposes to that object? How can it be anv less criminal to prolong a war commenced for the assertion of government power, into a war for the f uppression of slavery, which it is ajrreed would have been unjustifiable and sinful if begun for that purpose? If there were a possibility of peace and the resto ration of the power of the Gjvc-rnineut, aud in ßtead of making peace, meu should say, "No, we will have po peace till we have decoyed slavery," and should continue the war. the men thus doiug would be precisely as guilty as if thev had commenced a war for that purnoseonlv We ate not talking about the incidental effect of war on slaves or slavery. But we sneak of the proposal of some men to make abolition a condition of peace. No right exists to add one object to that for which the war iegan, and the blood of our brave men who should be sent into a war prolonged for such new pnmoses wonld rest with feaiful stain on the men who prevented peace. ew loik Journal of Commerce.

We were brought up so We. Yankees born, drank in from the great men of New England, hostility to any Conscription by the Federal Government, which overrides the liberties of States.

God save the Republic, if the Federal Government can thus conscript it 4,000,000 to override the States nnd the People of the States for man otherwise can never save himself. The PolUh Ladies. A long stay in Poland has a most depressing effect on spirits. The universal mounting worn by the women haunts you even in your sleep, and you feel that black" is after all the true ghost color. Wherever you go. you find the same poor helpless creatures herding together in the churches; and even there not always free from the brutality of the Russian soldiery. Under the pretense of searching for arms the sanctity of the house of God has repeatedly been violated, and sentries stationed at the door not unfrequently sulject ladies t' annoyance, if not insult, in going in and out. It is the altitude of the women hich annoys the Russians still more than that of the men. There is no sacrifice to wiiich they will not readilv submit, and their spirit is indomitable From the Princess Sapieha to the petty tradesman's wife, they devote themselves heart and soul to the cause, slaving night and day at making clothes, conveying arms and ammunition to the insurgent camp, remaining all niht under prison walls fir the chance of rescuing captives, aud performing other heroic acts. Combined with this power of self sacrifice. Polish ladies pos.ee.s a mnt lively wit, which is often more than a match for their enemies Letter from Lemberg. A Nexv Way to Nave the Llrnbi and Lives of our Soldiers. Among the latest reports of the principal hos pital of Paris, is an account of a discovery of great importance. It appears that a young studetit enunciated the theory that sransrene or mortification was caused by a deficiency of oxygen in the part so effected, and advanced so many plausible reasons in support of his views, that tbe Surgeon in -Chef of the institution, who hap pened at the time to h ive a case of gangrene upon bis care, determined to give tbe hypothesis a fair trial. The puient was over 70 years of age, and his foot, in which the disease was makiiiK rapid progress, was about to be amputated. The mortified part was enclosed in no apparatus so contrived as to yield a continuous supply of oxygen, and the result was that the gangrene was arrested and the foot saved. The experiment was repeated in the case of another patient equally aged, and with the same success. The inference is that oxygen, thus applied, is the specific for a disease which is the scourge 4f all hospitals for the treatment of surgical cases. Since the present war commenced, probably many hundreds of our soldiers have died of gangrene wounds, and if the application of so simple an teilt as oxvgen gas will stop the progress of decomposition in living flesh, by all means let the trench mode of treatment be adopted in all our Uiili'ary hospitals. - -. An Unanswerable Question. The Rochester Union thus disposes of those people who are railing at Got. Sktmoi r for usiDg humnne measures for restoring the peace in New York: ...... If there be anything wrong in trying the virtue of conciliation on men in arms against authority. will some of those who nauseously prate of Gor, Seymour's course be good enough to tell what they thought of Mr. Lincoln's assurances and appeals to the Rebels in his inaugural address and subsequent message? On taking office, to quote his own language, "the functions of the Federal Government were suspended in South Csrolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and F'orida," yet Mr. Lincoln implored the rebellious people of those States to renew their obedience to the laws, promising that they should have their rights, and protesting, W are not enemies, but friends!'

From tb Cincinnati Price Current, July 21.

financial and Commercial Summary f or the Past Week. Under the cheering news from the Lower Mississippi, and the fact that this creat channel of commerce is now open, aDd the back-bone of the rebellion broken, gold declined largely, reaching a pc in I aa low as 1 ,Lj on last Friday; but tbe market since then has been buoyant and rates fluctr ted, reaching 23 J yesterdiy, and again fell back to 12G., which was the closing rate at noon in New York. In this market rates responded to the above fluctuations, and yesterday bankers paid as high as 126(3127 in the fore noon, but fell back to 124(3125. which were the rates at tbe close of bank hours. A very gen eral impression prevails that the premium on gold is below what nought to be, notwithstanding the great successes of the last few weeks in putting down the rebellion, and even if the Rebels had become thoroughly vanquished, and all the fortifications and cities in the country in possession ot tne uovernmeut. gold would necessarily bring a higher premium than 125, because of the great inflation of paper mooey ; or, in other words, ot Government currencv, asuminc that the case is the same as if the paper had been ist-ucd by individuals or corporations. This we regard as an erroneous conclusion, unless the credit of the Government Is depreciated; but in case that the United States stocks are in demand alter the rebellion is put down, at par from abroad, pttable in gold or sterling eichange, why then the Goternment credit would be regarded gone, and of course the securities for all its obligations equally so, and this would enable the United States Treasurer to resume specie payment, without being called npon for it to any extent. Aa soon as the people were convinced that the security was good, they would not want gold lor the legal tender notes; nor would it be needed for foreign export, as our shipments of domestic produce, together with the sale of stocks to foreign capitalists would keep the balance of trade in our favor. Gold, owing to the great abundance or it, would drop down to par, or nearly so, without an effort. We hold that the entire success ef the Government arms is the only thing necessary to bring about this; and if the people feel satisfied that this is simply a question of time, hen gold has a lower point to go.'and its normal value will soon be 1 to 2c premium. In this country, the best security has been that of the Government, and there is nothing in the present aspect of the case to lead us to suppose that notwithstanding the great rebellion, and the doubt thereby throw n upon it, it will resume its legitimate normal potitio i again as soon aa this trouble is past. Indeed, the natural resources of the nation guarantee this beyond possible contingency. And if this shall he so, all obligations having the credit of the United States as security will be ns good as gold, and such of them as bear 5 to 6 per cent, per annum interest better than gold, as they had been before the rebellion. The great victories gained since the first of the month, ought to satisfy the statesmen of England and France of two very importunt facts which they seem not o know, namely: that the energy and resources of the people of this country ns far transcends their conceptions of them as the superficial area of this country does that of Great Britain and France; and that if the forte of the Northern or free States, divided as it was and but partially developed, has defeated nine rnillionsof whites who were fited by as wild an enthusiasm as that a hich animated the crusaders, and who were, in fact, united as one man, what would it accomplish if fully and unitedly put forth? These are thoughts which those abo have derided the efforts of our Government to conquer the Rcbir, ought to seriously consider, and then behold how far they have fallen fhort in their estimates of human progress, and of human power, when freed from the fetter of conventional aristocracy. The demand for money has been of the most limited nature, and the market is very easy at 6(38 per cent. Exchange has ruled firm at Jg premium selling, and par buying.

The strictions of martial law, noticed in our last, were removed last Thursday morning at six o'clock, having been in existence about three days. butbusines did not resume its usul channels for a day or two after, but owing to the decline in gold the amount of business done in produce has been small, holders not being willing to accept prices adjusted to the rate for gold, supposing that it would again advance, and for this cause flour is nominally unchanged, whilst wheat lb materially lower. The samples of new crop wheat offering are of a superior character, and this, with the larce stock of old wheat still on hand, tends greatly to destroy confidence in prices, nnd produces more anxiety to sell Corn and oats have been in fair demand. Rye has largely declined. The new crop is good, aiid is now in market. Simples of barley have been hown us. and the qua'ity and coior are both good. Whisky remains at 41 Xc, and is in fair de mand. There has been a fair demand for old mess pork, and about 3.HH) barrels sold at $3 5U for city.

HilUrd of Boston, a cotempo rary of Webster and Choate. and an old Whig when that great and national conservative organization existed, in a letter to the New York Academy of Music meeting, on the 4th of July, remarked: "I have never been a member of the Democratic party, but I am convinced now that there is no hope of ecdicg this deplorable war aod restoring the Union but by and through that party." And the Hon. Joel Parker, now occupying the chair of Chief Justice Story, and never before a Democrat, speaking to the Mass Meeting held on the Fourth of July at Concord, N. 11., be remarked: "Most assuredly, I do at this time most deeply and cordially sympathize with the Democracy in their efforts to maintain the Constitution, preserve the rights of free speech, the liberty of tbe press, personal freedom from arbitrary arrest and imprisonment, and the supremacy of the civil law in all places not occupied by Union forces for the prosecution of the war. Legitimate martial law can not exist in places where there is not only no war, but no troops for the prosecution of the war. What is so called, and is attempted to be enforced aa 'martial law,' in sach places ia merely the exercise of arbitrary power, without any warrant of law whatever. . An Argument for the Suppression off the Press - Chablks X, of France, in 1830, attempted to suppress the press of Paris. He gave tbe following reasons for it through his Ministry. He said: The periodical press was but an instrument of disorder and seduction that the King's own sentiroentshad beeu disres)eclfully discussed in the journals that the expedition to Algiers bad been endangered by the discussions and doctrines of the press that the Government and the press could not co exist that there was a nrolonged cry of indignat'on and terror from all parts of the nation agaiustthe journals of Paris that the right ot the Government to provide for its own security exists before any law, it being founded ia the nature of things, must overbear ill lawg, ami that the time had arrived for the assertion of this great and primary right. For attempting to carry out these project Cbasle was driven from his throne, and if be had been caught would have lost his head. His memorial has been taken up in this country and its arguments adopted word for word. The London Engineer states that a manufacturer at Clapham, England, has invented an adequate substitute for leather, and is making the article in large quantities.
