The rebels have blown up Harper's Magazine, situated theio. The dead and wounded have all been buried, and excellent health prevails in the army. The l'rochunation fever has nt broken out yet in this region, but it 8oms to lane in Vahiu 'ton. I can explain a little matter, enire vous, that has puzzled a good many people yThen is in vour town, mav'b vou'vo heard of hitr. a man who calU limjf Horac Greeley. He wrote a great many nrticles for soino paper or another, in foimtng President Lincoln what he ought to do, and how the War ought to bo car ed on. Naturally enough, Lincoln, being an ex ceedingly 6endble man. look no notice of all this advieo. I notice, mv dear Yanitv, that the fools

may be divided iu!u two classes; those

who give g)od coutibvl, r.nd thoe who take it. Cut this Grcclev was incorrigible. He kept on with his twaddle, ml inrilniluin, and lately, one way or another, conti ived to get an audience with Lincoln, whose good natuie is njeiimes a little too much f r his comfuit! The newr-paper-man had a huge bundle with him, done up iu a yellow handkerchief w i Ji red spots. Wlu.t'a thi? says Lincoln. My editorials, says Greeley; I'm going to read 'cm to you. Don't, says Lincoln. Cut you promised to hear what I had to say, eays Greeley, and I can't say it in any .-hotter way. To begin., here's an article eutitled 'Ouward to llichmond.' Sit down, now, and listen. Good heavens! cries Lir.coln, has it come to this? Is there no escape? Nsry escape, retorts Gretley, unless ou aieo to follow mv advice now! Cut co::ider, sas Lincoln! do vou want to torture me to d':ath in cold blood? Have vo i no humanity? Think of mv interesting family paro me. Hah! ells the demoniac Gncley; you proa.ised to listen, and listen you shall! Xo'.v then, Onward to Cichmond. No n stay! what can 1 co for you? gasps Linceln in piteous tones of agony.--1 will make you brigadier general I will jive John Chatles another command 1 will make you Secretary of War (tho change cannot bo for the worst.) I will do any thing. What. ho! Guards, tbeie without. Hm; its no use, says Greeley, Iriump antly; your guards cannot hear you. 1 gave them eacli a Tribune Almanac, and they are IV t asleep by this time. Then name your terms. Listen, I cannot. Submit. 1 mut. I am ready. Greeley's eyes sparkled. Will vu will roil is-ue an Kmanciati n Prot lamati on for the Amelioration of tho station of the Nigger nation in all cri alien.

A C 'ld sweat broke forth from Lincoln's ldiy-whitc brow, and he turned pale as death vi'hout his white horse. It i; terrible to see the strong man thus shaken. 1 premie-, he muttered faintly, and fell into a swoon. On leceveiitig be loand a proclamation, ne.:tly engrossed, and wanting only his signature, on the table before him. Greeley was gone. A sulphureous atmosphere pervaded the apartment. The President wrote bis name with tia n.ulous lingers. This little story accounts fir tho coke in the mikonut. Since then tho President lides from Soldier's Home to Washington and back escorted by a detachment of cavalry. He is a changed man. 15at he does'iit think a good deal of the Proclamation. It ia the same with others. Tout a tot. KrniarknMc Kctter. During a recent Democratic meeting in New York, John VanDuren made the following revelation: "Oi. the 3d of March, 1G1, President Lincoln lound himself in Washington, disguised, wearing a Scotch cap, and covered iu a bin cloak. On that day, before takin" the oath, a letter waa delivered to him, which read as follows: Wasuinoton, March.', le01. Di:ak Sik: Hoping that iu a day or two the new president will have happily passed through all peonal dangers, and lind himself installed an honored successor of the great Washington, with you as tho chief I. f his cabinet, I beg leaf to repeat, iu v riling, what I have before said to you orally this supplement to my printed 'views,' (dated in October last) on the highly disordered condition of our (so latu) happy and glorious Union. To meet the ext taoi dinaiy xigencies of tho times, i' scents lo me that I am gudty of no arrogance in limbing the Pieaidont'd lield of sehetiou to one of the four plans of procedure subjoined: I, Throw off the old and a-sume, a new designation the Union party. Adopt tho conciliatory measures proposed by Mr. Ciittenden, or the Peace Convention, and my life upon it, we shall havo no new case of secession; but on the contrary, mi taily return of ma ay, if not all tho States which h ive alteady broken oil fiom the Union. Without fcome equally benign measure, tho remaining ehiveholding States will probably join the Montgomery Conhvdcra-

'cy in less than sixty days, when this city,

j ' .'! being included m a foivigu country, would reijuirc a permanent ganison of at least o.j,C00 troojis to protect the government within it. II. Colhct the dalijs on lbrei-'u iroods i outside the ports of which the government ha lost the command, or close such ports by act of Congress, and blockade them. Jt III. Conquer the seceded Slates by vading armies. No doubt ibis might be done in two or three years by a young and able general a Wolfe, a Uesaix or a Hoche with 000,000 disciplined men, estimating a third for garrisons and the loss of a yet greater Lumber by skirmishers, sieges, battles and Southern fevers. The destruction f life and property 'on the other side would be flight ml, however perfect the moral discipline of the invaders. The conpte-t when completed at that enormous waste of human !i!e to the North and Northwest with at least 200,000000 added thereto and cid bono? Fifteen devastated provinces! Not to be brought into harmony with their conquerors, but to be held for generations by heavy ganisons, at an expense of quadruple the net duties or taxes which it would be possible to extort from them, followed by apiotector or an emperor. IV. Say tc the seceded States Wayward sisters, depart in peace. In haste, I remain, very truly, yours. Winfjeld Scott. Hon. Wm.'II. Seward. A lOlll LUV V WHW llltlitl Another Specimen. Our Republican neighbor is striving very hard to convince himself that the Democracy carried the recent election iu this State by frauds. Or else it seeks this pretence to let its parly eas ly down from its overwhelming defeat. Hero is one of its specimens. In its issue of yesterday, it save: Brown countv in 18G1 crave Lane fur Governor rind Hendricks 711, a total vote of 1,010. Since then it has sent dOG volunteers to the war, of whom 400 at least are voters. In 1CC2 ii gives Dunn 220,juid HarringtonoSS! A total vote cl 1,04G, just live more votes than were east two years ago, though d'JO voters bad gone away. A defied: of dUO votes to be mado good iu two years. How? Ry natu ral increase? No. Now f.-r another specimen. Take couuty in ICC) gave 1,0GG votes for Lar.c, r.nd Ö10 for Hendricks, making a total ol 1.G 3C. Since then she ha3 sent Go'J volunteers to the war, of wlmm at least 500 are voters. In 1CG2 she gives Collax 1,0CG, and Turpte 559!! A total vote cf 1.C45, just nine more votes than were cast two vears ago, though 500 voters have gone away. A deficit of 500 votes made good in two years. Here, is another. Jasper county in 1CG0 cast 52." vclis for Lane, and for Heudiicks 278; total, C03. She has sent 130 volunteers to tho war, of whom at h ast 375 are voters. In 1GG2 the gives Colfax 517 and Turpie CCC, a total vote of C35, just thirty-two more votes than she gave two years before, notwithstundiug she has sent 375 voters away. A deficit of 375 voters made more than good in two years. Whence comes this increase of vote? Jasper and Like are rural c .unties, ivilhout commercial towns, and the natural increase is very slow, but both givo larger votes than in 1CG0, notwithstanding the lar'0 number of voters who have left them. In both counties Colfax has the majority guen to the Republican candidates in 1CG0, when it is known that there was in both a gieat revolution in public sentiment. The U. C. which exists in Colfax's district can tell the storv. So can the Ropublican judges. The learned pi of the Journal can philosophize upon tbeso specimens, and fdviso ua how these new vtoers got into Lake and Jasper. TJiüUlorioii Political Victors. Iu the almost absorbing attention to the military movements, we hope thu public has not overlooked the glorious political victory w hich has just been gained iu the North. It is more iniporunt in bringing a speedy termination to tho war than a bloody field vould havo been. There ha3 been great anxiety in all quarters since lb) President's romarkable proclamation. It was a grave question. It was directly up on the issua of for and against the Condi tutiou. If tie Republican .party succeeded o could have no hope for tho Constitution hereafter. The only chck icmiining to us was in our Congress. If it faileel all wai at an end, siuco the President, by one Mvtep of Exculivo power, had silenced the Judicial authority. Power eecnicd to be gathering into tho hands of the Kxccutive, and tho Executive unrestrained either by past promises or constitutional limits. We appeared to be fast lapsing iuto despotism,

and to hug the chains that wore fast fetter- j

O j ing our limbs. We do not exaggerate in saying that the triumph of the conervatves ia the North, was a triumph of republicanism against despotism, and as sr.ch should cheer the i

hearts of all lovers of American institution.-, j It settles the question as to whether the Union is still to continue a Ilcpubiic. This is not all that has been accomnliih- ? in-led by this momentous election. The negro question was taking a shape more dangerous than it had ever doin before. The programme wa distinctly laid down to deprive the country cf four million laborers, a lo.:-s which no country will stand in the mid-1 of prosperity. In the furtherance ol' this scheme, other evd;, equally disastrous, would have fallen upon the country, s-ince not only was the labor lost, but, according to Lincoln's tremendous emancipation and deportation scheme, a tax cf ur. 'paralleled magnitude would have been laid u; oa the ! overburthened people. Whatever tide issues may have sprung up in localities, this was the main question, and we inay look upon the election as decisive. It lias been of no less momentous impor tance in another respect, to wit: In quell ing the rebellion. It could be set down a? a self evident proposition that the Union could not be restored upon the Abolition 4 pla!frm.' It was the heght of insanity to believe that the South would ever submit to a government which favored to-gro insurrections. Kv-ery impulse of resistance was calls 1 out. It could not be expected that they would yield, while they had a or a dollar, to a pow er which purposed to call up the horrors of St. Domingo in a population of eight millions of free white people. They never would submit, and no hum: n man could wish them to submit to such an alrocitv. The election has deprived the rebels of this element, which would certainly insure unity and despera tioa among them. The tendency of the election is to showto the Southern people that, while it is re 6 olvcd to continue tho war until the restoration cf the Union, yet it is not the intention to subjugate the South, or to deprive them ol rii'thscmoved bv their sister Sisics; and it is tho fear of t!.is: we firmly belie e, which has prolonged the present content. L.t the Sjuthern States know that they will enj y tho pioiec'.ion guaranteed to ibem by the Constitution, :nid wo believe lh?y will willingly icturn to there allegiance.

The opinion of Judge Hail, ol the Un'ted Stales Court for the Northern District of New York, in the case of Benedict, is a carefully prepared argument upon the constitutional power of the President, 's Commander-in-Chief, to abrogate law in time of war. As such, it should commend itself to the cauJid consideration of every elector. The opinion is I ascd upon authority derived from the mot eminent jurists of our own Country and of Kngland. The Judge, in del vering bis o; biion, quotes the following I'rom an English jurist, ,;To have a correct idea of martial law in a free country, examples iuui not b sou hl in the arbitrary conduct of absolute governments.- Tho monarch who uniks in his hands all the powers may dv legate to his Generals an authority, as unbounded as his own. Rut ia a icpub'io where the constitution has fixed the extent and limits of eveiy brat eh of government, in time f icar a reell as of peace, there can exist nothing utieei t tin vague, or ai binary in tho exercise of any authority. Judge Hall, pursuing the idea convened in the above quotation lemaiks: "The constitution of the United States, in. which ovory thing necessary to the general and individual security has been fore ecu, does not provide that in times of public danger the executive power shnll reign to tho exclusion of all others. It docs not thrust into the bauds of a dictator tho reins of government.' Tbo Judge was guided to tho above con clusion not by a process of reasoning oiiginating with himself, or bf inferences derived from the opinions of others, but by following, a; he a-serts, 'in tl o paths of constitutional duty clearly and distinctly marked with the iueliaweablo footprints of Marshall, of Story, of Washington, of Levingston, of Martiu, and of Taney.''

) A c rr spondeiit of the Richmond Ew Iqii ar .-ays: -The biltcrnerS and animosity I existing between thu northern political par- ! ties is daily incieaing in inttnsity. This state of thi:;i'S alone, wiihout a conflict. must olßtruct sei iously, if not absolute ly dedeat, any tillcient prosecution of the war. Tho New York Times, commenting upri the above, savs: "The view is a natural one, and tho rebels have a ri 'ht to take courage from it. The Times undoubtedly (Xprcs-es the opinion of a majority ofi's party. Theopini ns of the secessionists and abo!iti-.r.is:s, they are the same this war must soon cloe in the dishonorable defeat of the North because of the bitterness of parlyfeel ;ng in the loval States. The Times asks, 'why is the unity that existed a year ago no longer recognized by the Srath :-.nJ f-ared?' and answers surelv it cannot ha the fault of those who support the Administration. They stand t ow where they stood then, firmly by the side of the constituted authorities of the government If the rebels arc sincere in their convictions that a bitter and divided public sentiment in the Northern Slates mud lead to our defeat and a i early peace and if this conviction strengthens their hearts and arms, whoh responsible for their assurance of its correctness? The Richmond Evanlrer a s r s it as a fact' and one of the most influential and widely circulated organs of abolitionism not only assuies the So ith that it is trt.e, bnt enters into an elatoiate course, of leasoning to Drove it, thus making 'assurance doubly sure.' It tells the rebels they have a right to lake courage from itand the South is daily assured by the entire abolition press that tho late success of the democratic party in several of the northern States, and its probable "ains in States when elections are vet t be held, are the successes of ai organization of traitors whose sympathies are all in favcr of the rebellion. It tvill djfv hum man ingenuity to invent a more successful scheme far stimulating the hopes and efforts ot the rcb-li tr.aa 13 employed by aboIi.ion'sh in th. so insurances. It is 'infernal in its wickedness, not only lor the malignity of its slander upon the loyalty of democrats, but treachery to tho cause it professes to suppoit. It is one cf the constuutional definitions .f trer.son 'giving aid and comfort to the enemy. If the close of this war brings defeat and shame to the North fjr the ie2rn giveu by the rebel j urnal, and indorsed by the ! abolitioa pre, the counlry and tho world will be compelled to exonerate the democratic party from :d! responsibility lor them. It has -in the most eolemn and emphatic manner affirmed ar.d proven its loyalty. This bitter strii is asserted t be r.o1 the fault t those who support the administration, for thev stand where thev stood one vear r.o, fiVxr.lv bv the tide cl the administration.' Abolitionists did not d.nnd one year :;go lirmlv bv the side of the a.imini&tratiou. It is precisely one 11 ontii ago this day that abolitionists canto to the support of the administration. Why? Reeau-o the admin istration then declared its conversion to ab-olltloni-m, or adopted its policy, for we doubt the g?ut:inc!iess of the conversion. Piior to that dato the Paesidcnt declared that he had lectived from the democratic p;rtv a more c tdi.-.l support than fiom hi o.vn. This admission of the PreiJent disposes cf that point. Ifotbei proof was required, it could be found iu every aboli lion journal, and in none more t.bund antly than in the New Vo;k Times. The division et sentiment lias net been caused bv arty el. a g i;i th ' d n oe'rativJ pariy. It has not ; worved from its position of one year ag the ninth part of a hair. It supports th" rdminislrntion now as cordially as it did then in tverv eonstitutior.a! and just measure. It epposcd the negro emanclj ati n poliej then. So did the admin istra. im. It opposes the negro emancipation policy now. The administration i idorses it. "Who have changed? It is tho change in the policy of the administration upon this one question that has excited angry and bitter fe, ling. Arj political parties in thi country under any moral ooligvtum to yield ehetiehed convictions and ptinciples because the Piceident ields to a 'pre ure?' Are they to be de nouneed as traitors for not vienng liko wether vanes with a President who tldb cules us milieus a policy one week and adopts it the next week! We stand now w here we hao ever stood, by the side of tho oonstitution, to defend and uphold it. Presidents and administrations may Geek other positions uiu'er tli; application of partisan toilure, but wo will not be diiven from our chosen ground. If wo are attacked lb ie. and dissension and anarchy come becauce of the attack, those who make it must account for tho consequences. Cu'ea no Times.
