Shahjahaxpor, Pic. 17ih, 1863. MT DtaB Childm. It li now orer a year since twa lenYos and w bare been quietly settled U oar . . ' saw boiua fur aome mott'is. The lung journey orer fat for you, on tbe Map, ia passed, and seems now bat a dream. And as I sit here ia our eoiy boose, . this Sabbath Morning and look out upon ttie beaiitiA.l fl. .I.. -.1 l..,. tilta rinerintr fur tfThnrrh- Altd . tbe carriages on their way there, it ia bard to realize, that I am In a Heathen Land. But if I should go down through tbe City to-day "wbere I should see ttie Basaar, filled with Merchants . ' and Merchandise, see camels, and donkeys, passing to . and fro and bear Uie noise and tumult all on this God's Holy Day, then I should fed that this is indeeJ a Ileathen Land. ltut, although, tin's people do not bare any one Rest Day-any day to keep Holy to God still they hare a great many religious feaat and festiral days in honor of their GikU. In nearly erery grore, tliey hare a temple, and erery grare is a praying place. Often when we ridu or walk out, we pass heathen temples, in which we see' flowers presented as oflerins to their idol (rods. But I must teTI you of our Home, here in Shahjahanpore, we bare an orphanage, in which are from 7Q to 80 boys, of all ages, sixes, and colors. We bare some as black as tbe negro, and some as white as tlie Anvmeaa boys, they are real lire boys too, full of fun and mischief. They are studying erery day and learning very fast you Richmond boys must be careful or some of our native boys will beat you. Tbey Study Geography, Grammar, Arithmatic and History, in their own langusge, which ia called Urdu. Beside they study the Hindu, Persian, Sanscrip and English. All of our orphan boys are Christiana, either real or nominal--they read tlte Bible daily, and erery one from the least little wee boy, to the young men, repeat the Lord's prayer in Urdu. Now I wonder if all the boys and girls in Pearl st. Sabbath School, can say the t i e i : -i. , t n ,iA i . hear the children, after the preacher bas finished hit frsyer Sabbath Morning, commence ; 'Ai hamare bap, jo asman par hai," "Oh our Father who Heaven in art." Our boys can sing, too. They hare some of the familiar Methodist bymns translated into Urdu, such as "I ... ... 1. - 1 ft ImA.II. 4Tf..n.. . " , ....

In one room sat the Dr. with a class of in or 20 boys reading English soma sitting on benches some standing and some sitting on the Boor. Under a tree at the right, was Br. Messmore, with a class, farther out another class under a tree. How would you like keeping school under the trees T I think yon would enjoy it mucb, in such fine weather as we hare now. I wish you could see our boys when they are eating their dinner all seated on the floor, with a brass plate, filled with rice, and anotlter with carry, or Dal.

The following general regulations are published for the information and gov ernment of all interested in the subject of compensated plantation labor, public or private, during the present year, and in continuation of the svstem established January SO, 1803: 1. The enlistment of soldiers from plantations under cultivation in this De partment, having been suspended dy or der of the Government, will not be resumed except upon direction of the same high authority. 2. The Provost Marshal General is instructed to provide for the division of Parishes into police and school districts, and to organize from invalid soldiers, a competent police for the preservation of order. 3. Provision will be made for the establishment of a sufficient nnmber of schools, one at least for each of the police and school districts, for the instruction of colored children under twelve years of age, which, when established, will be placed under the direction of the Superintendent of Public Education. 4. Soldiers will not be allowed to visit plantations without the written consent of the Commanding Officer of the Regiment or Post to which they are attached, and never with arms, except when on duty, accompanied by an officer. 5. Plantation hands will not be allowed to pass from one place to another except under such regulations as may be established by the Provost 3Iarshal of the Parish. C. Flogging and other cruel or unusual punishments are interdicted. 7. Planters will be required, as early as practicable after the publication of these Regulations, to make a Roll of persons employed upon their estates, and to transmit the same to the Provost Marshal of the Parish. In the employment of hands, the unity of families will be secured a3 far as possible. 8. All questions between the employer and the employed, until other tribunals arc established, will be decided by the Provost Marshal of the Parish. 9. Sick and disabled pesrons will be provided for upon the plantations to wheh they belong, except such as may be received in establishments provided for them by the Government, of which one will be established at Algiers, and one at Baton Rouge. 10. The unauthorized purchase of clothing, or other property, from laborers, will be punished by fine and imprisonment. The sale of whisky, or other intoxicating drinks, to them, or to other persons, except under regulations established by the Provost Marshal General, will be followed by the severest punishment. 11. The . possession of arms, or concealed or dangerous weapons, without authority, will be punished by fine and imprisonment. 12. laborers shall render to their employer, between daylight and dark, ten hours in summer, and nine in winter, of respectful, honest, faithful labor, and receive therefor, in addition to just treatment, healthy rations, comfortable clothing, quarters, fuel, medical attendance, and instruction for children, wages per month as follows, payment of one half of which, at least, shall be reserved until the end of the year: For first class hands For second class hands For third class hands For fourth class hands . f 00 per month. ...B00 do. ..5 00 do. 3 00 do. Engineers and foreman, when faithful in the discharge of their duties, will be paid 82 per month extra. This schedule of wages maybe commuted, by the consent of both parties, at the rate of one fourteenth part of the net proceeds of the crop, to be determined and paid at the end of the year. Wages will be deducted in case of sickness, and rations, also, when sickness is feigned. Indolince, insolence, disobedience of orders, and crime, will be suppressed by forfeiture of pay,and such punishments as are provided for similar oll'ences by Army Regulations. Sunday work will be avoided when practicable, but when neccssarv, will be con sidered as extra labor, and paid for at the rates specified herein. 13. Laborers will be permitted to choose their employers, but when the agreement is made, they will be held to their engagement for the j'ear, under the protection of the Government. In cases of attempted imposition, by feigning sickness, or stubborn refusal of duty, they will be turned over to the Provost Marshal or the Parish, lor iator upon the public works, without pay. 14. Laborers will be permitted to cultivate land on private account, as herein specified, as follows: 1st and Sd class hands, with families. aer each ; 1st aod 21 class hauls, without families, omthaff acre; 2i and 3d class hands, with families on katf acre; 3d and 3d class hands, without families, eac jr. acre ; To be increased for good conduct at the discretion of the employer. The encouragement of independent indastry will strengthen all the advantages which capital derives from labor and enable the laborer to take care of himself and prepare for the times when he can render so much labor for so much money, which is the great end to be attained. 2s"o exemption will be made in this apportionment, except upon imperative reasons, and it is desirable that for good conduct thequantity be increased until faithful hands can be allowed to cultivate extensive tracts, returning to the owner an equivalent of product for rent of soiL 15. To protect the laborer from possible imposition, no commutation of his supplies will be allowed, except in clothing, which may be conmuted at the rate of 33.00 per month for first class hands, and in similar proportion for other classes. The crops will stand pledged, wherever found, for the wages of labor. 16. It is adiied as far as practicable, that employers provide for the current want of their hands, by perquisites for extra labor, or by appropriation of land for share cultivation; to discourage monthly payments so far as it can b dose

EICHMOID

JUST' AND FEAR N0T! LET ALL RICIOIOXD, without discontent, and to reserve till the full harv est the yearly wages. 17. A. Free Labor Bank will be established for the safe deposit of all accumulations of wages and other savings ; and in order to avoid a possible wrong to depositors, by official defalcation, authority will be asked to connect the Bank with the Treasury of the United States in this Department. 18. The transportation of negro families to other countries will not be approved. All propositions for thi3 privilege have been declined, and application has been made to other Departments for surplus negro families for service in this Department. 19. The last year's experience shows that the Planter and the Negro comprehend the Revolution. The overseer, having little interest in capital, and less sympathy with labor, dislikes the trouble of thinking, and discredits the notion that anything new has occurred. lie is a relic of the past, and adheres to its customs. His stubborn refusal to comprehend the condition of things, occasioned most of the embarrassments of the past year. Where such incomprehension is chronic, reduced wages, diminished rations, and the mild punishments imposed by the Army and Navy, will do good. 20. These Regulations are based upon the assumption that labor is a public duty, and idleness and vagrancy a crime. No civil or military officer of the Government is exempt from the operation of this universal rule. Every enlightened community has enforced it upon all classes of people by the severest penalties. It is especially necessary in agritulturai pursuits. That portion of the people identified with the cultivation of the soil, however changed in condition, by the revolution through which we are passing, is not relieved from the necessity of toil, which is the condition of existence with all the children of God. The revolution has altered its tenure, but not it3 law. This universal law of labor will be enforced upon just terms, by the Government, under whose protection the laborer rests secure in his rights. Indolence, disorder and crime, will be suppressed. Having exercised the highest right in the choice and place of employment, he must be held to the fulfilment of his engagements, until released therefrom by the Government. The several Provost Marshals are hereby invested with plenary powers upon all matters connected with labor, subject to the approval of the Provost Marshal General, and the Commanding Officer of the Department. The most faithful and discreet officers will be selected for this duty, and the largest force consistent with the public service detailed for their assistence. 21. Employers, and especially overseers, are notified, that undue influence used to move the Marshal from his just balance between the parties representing labor and capital, will result in immediate change of officers, and thus defeat that regular and stable system upon which the interests of all parties depend. '22. Successful industry is especially necessary at the present time, when large public debts and onerous taxes are imposed to maintain and protect the liberties of the people and the integrity of the Union. All officers civil or military, and all classes of citizens who assist in extending the profits of labor, and increasing the product of the soil, upon which, in the end, all national prosperity and power depends, will render to the Government a service as great as that derived from the terrible sacrifice of battle. It is upon such consideration onlj that the Planter is entitled to favor. The Government has accorded to him, in a period of anarchy, a release from, thedisordcrs resulting mainly from insensate and mad resistance to sensible reforms, which can never be rejected without revolution, and the criminal surrender of his interests and power to crazy politicians, who thought by metaphysical abstractions to circumvent the laws of God. It has restored to him in improved, rather than impaired condition, his due privileges, at a moment when, by his own acts, the very soil was washed from beneath his feet. 23. A more majestic and wise clemency human history does not exhibit. The liberal and just conditions that attend it, cannot be disregarded. It pro tects labor by enforcing the performance of its duty, and it will assist capital by compelling just contributions to the demands of the Government. Those who profess allegiance toother Governments, will be required, as the condition of residence in this State, to acquiesce, without reservation, in the demands presented by Government as a basis of permanent peace. The noncultivation of the soil without just reason, will be followed by temporary forfeiture to those who will secure its improvement. Those who have exercised, or are entitled to the rights of citizens of the United States, will be required to participate in the measures necessary for the re-establishment of cilvil government. War can never cease except as civil governments crush out contest, and secure the supremacy of moral over physical power. The yellow harvest must wave over the crimson field of blood, and the representatives of the people displace the agents of purely military power. 24. It is therefore a solemn duty resting upon all persons, to assist "in the earliest possible restoration of civil government. Let them particpate in the measures suggested for this purpose. Opinion is free and candidates are numerous. Open hostility cannot be permitted. Indifference will be treated as a crime, and faction as treason. Men who refuse to defend their country with the ballot box orcatridge box, have no just claim to the benefits of liberty regulated by law. All people not exempt by the law of nations, who seek the protection of the Government, are called upon to take the oath of allegiance in such form as may be prescribed, sacrificing to the public good, and the restoration of public peace, whatever scruples may be fuggeated by incidental consideration. The

THE ENDS TH0U AIM ST AT BE

WA1HVE CO., IXD., oath of allegiance, administered and received in good faith, is the test of unconditional fealty to the Government and all its measures and cannot be materially strengthened or impaired by the language in which it is clothed. 25. The amnesty offered for the past, is conditioned upon an unreserved lo.valtv for the future, and this condition will be enforced with an iron hand. Whoever is indifferent or hostile, must choose between the liberty which foreign lands afford, the poverty of the rebel States, and the innumerable and inappreciable blessings which our Government confers upon its people. May God preserve the Union of the States ! Bt coMitAxn of Maj. General Baxks : GEORGE B. DRAKE. Assistant Adjutant General. From tbe State Journal. Another Rebel Raid Importation of Arms into Canada. The Detroit Advertiser, March 3d, says : The number of secession refugees, from the North and South, now in Canada, is several thousand, who, when consolidated and organized, would constitute a very effective fighting force, were it not that the scarcity of arms in Canada forms a serious obstacle to their proper equipping. The exportation of arms from the United States is prohibited by the existing military regulations, and accordingly a wholesale sj-stem of smuggling is carried on, by which small arms are carried into Canada. The common method of avoiding the vigilanee of the officers on both sides of the river, is by concealing a large number of arms in a herring box with several layers of herrings. As there is no duty on this fish, and "a perceptible perfume generally indicates its presence, an apparent laboring man, with a herring box, freighted with herrings and weapons, easily crosses without molestation. Many revolvers are brought for this purpose of ieturned soldiers, and eventually find their way into the hands of those, who were and are the deadliest enemies of" their former owners. An occasional musket or gun ia conveyed across b3 some one, claiming merely to be on a brief hunting trip for pleasure. Therepairing amd refitting of these firearms is done at a little smithy near the Hirous House. These weapons are then placed in the hauds of trusty men, and they go off in squads to the East few at a time, so as not to attract attention. By varous routes and means they cross over to the States, generally choosing some 6pot on the Eastern frontier, where a less vigilant watch is kept than in this section. Once in our boundry lines they quietly ren dezvous at different stations in Southern Illinois and Indiana, where associations are now and have been forming to co opperate with them. The design of the movements is in the ensuring spring to open a "fire in the rear" by raising the standard of armed disaffection in those sections, and thus distracting the attention a-d dividing the strength of our armies in the front. In fact, advices from that section already report the commencement of guerrilla hostilities by outlaws and desperadoes. On Monday last a squad of Federal soldiers were fired upon while quietly passing along the streets of Paris, Edgar county, Illinois, by a party of ruffians, concealed in an old stable. The soldiers charged upon the building, and lost one of their number. His murderer, however, was shot in thirteen different places, and the whole gang arrested. They were found to number about fifty, and evidently expected a serious disturbance. This is undoubtedly but the commencement of a series of similar affairs in that section, which the Government will be called upon to crush with an iron heel. The authorities have recently been placed in possession of all the facts narrated below, and measures have been taken to nip the evil in the bud. For example : A squad of five men, under an individual named Ostride, one of the leaders in this scheme, left Windsor on Monday last for the East, for the purpose stated above. This fact being known to the United States detectives in Canada, information was dispatched which resulted in the summary arrest of the gang on Tuesday, immediately on their arrival on the American side at Niagara Falls. One man subsequently made his escape, but the rest are still confined there awaiting an investigation into their business and destination. We do not state facts to alarm but solely to inform the public of threatening peril, and place them on their guard against impending danger. What connection there may be between these rebel refugees and the secret Copperhead organizations in tiio Northwest, we cannot say, but we can say that the "K. G. C.'s" or whaterer they may now call themselves, who were scattered by legal prosecution and popular wrath last year, are organizing the same treasonable objects, and the same infernsl spirit, that made them so long a more effective army than any that Bragg or Lee commanded, and with more caution and secrecy than ever. The State is full of them, but a bitter experience has warned them to be less boastful of their strength and presence than they used to be, and till within a short time past, no attention, not even that of the authorities, has been directed to them. But timely revelations have been made which will probably defeat some of the more desperate schemes they contemplated, and this announcement will, we trust, direct public attention to them in every county and prevent the partisan operations which they are relied upon to accomplish. They have probably changed some of ths non-essential features of the former

C.,s," and that no such order exists in the State, but the name and rituals are nothing. The essential element, the life, of the old treasonable order is in the one now growing or grown ; and that life is the death of the Government. They are prepared for violence and intend it. They count upon the enormous outflow of Union strength into the army to give them power enough to paralyze the State, and complete the rebellion, and they count upon the secresy of their movements to make their power effective. We warn the people of Indiana, that they stand in peril of a greater disaster than any that the rebel armies can inflict, from men whom they meet every day, and hold intercourse with as reputable citizens. Members of Congress are concerned in the conspiracy, and the general management of it proceeds from men in high places. A very few days will disclose what the conspiracy is, and how far it reaches. Since the above was written, wc have encountered, in the Washington correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial, the following statement in regard to the same matter : THK KKIGHT3 OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE. Very little has been heard of this organization of late, but they deceive themselves who think it is not in existence, or that it will not put forth efforts more vigorous than ever during the approaching summer and fall to accomplish its mission, which is directly the disaffection of the Northwest on the subject of the war and restoration of the Union, and indirectly th establishment of the Southern Confederacy, and the annexation to it of the States of Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. William 11. Morrison, Democratic Representative from the ; Twelfth Conressionr.! District of Illi nois, stated this fact to a friend yesterday. Mr. Morrison was for two years a Colonel in the army, and thou gh now a peace man, refuses to join the "Knights," though he has been importuned to do so. lie is well acquainted with the leaders and principal members of the traitorous cabal, and knows whereof he affirms when he says they will try to get control of the elections in the Northwestern States next fall. A large number of Copperhead members from Indiana and Illinois have gone home the past two weeks, and for no other purpose than to organize the "Knights." Among those who have gone is William J. Allen, representative from one of the southern districts of Illinois the successor of Gen. Logan. This gentleman, it is well known, wanted to organize the men of Southern Illinois and put them in the rebel arm3. He tendered the command of them to Logan so Logan charges on him, at any rate and it is not a secret that in his district he did raise several companies, which he sent south via Paducah, and which were mustered into the rebel service in Union City. During Gen Grant's campaign in Mississippi! met a rebel soldier who told me that he was from Southern Illinois, and that he belonged to a company, raised by Mr. Allen. This band of villains and traitors will make a desperate struggle to defeat Governor Morton in Indiana, at the approaching election. Senator Hendricks though, perhaps, not a member of the organization is pledged to the establishment of a Northwestern Confederacy, and the same may be said of every Indiana copperhead in Congress, and of all the leading members of that party at home Judge Ecklcs, Jesse D. Bright and such men. In this connection it may not I e inappropriate to quote the following from an editorial in the Richmond Examiner of the 29th ult : "While the political leaders are thus intelligently arranging their platforms, Indiana, we learn, has become more disloyal this year than ever. So this year again there are signs of trouble in the great Northwest not signs of peace with us, but of disintegration and dislocation at home; gracious buds of promise, which with the approach of this election may bloom and blossom into the bloody fruit of revolution." This correspondent is right as far as he goes, but there is more known of the order and its purposes here than he seems to have learned. As we said, a few days will disclose something of both, but in the meanwhile we caution Union men to be on their guard. Tbe danger is not merely a political one. It reaches farther. It is true it is a tool or ally of the Copperheads, or their master rather, as it was last year, when more than half of that party in the Legislature belonged to it, and is expected to do a great deal in the elections, but its first object i3 to prevent all elections by overthrowing both the State and National governments, and carrying oat Mr. Hendricks's pet scheme of separating the Northwest from the Union. A great and dangerous organization now pervades the State with exactly this object, and it is time the people were moving to counteract or crush it. tST A democratic meeting in Butler county, Ohio, adopted last week an amendment to some resolutions to the effect that "our delegates to the Convention be instructed to vote for no candidate who is not opposed to the further prosecution of the war, and to support Seymour of Connecticut or Vallandigham of Ohio, as the democratic candidate for PrcaidentT

S. " SX cJjy j Whole NasabeR IC 8. t lit.Henry Ward Beecher on President Lincoln. We extract the following from a speech delivered bv Henry Ward Beecher at j Philadelphia an Thursday of last week. j The Chief Magistrates of these two great sections of country are representatives of the two corresponding princiciples. Davis was formed by aristocratic institutions. AU his ideas of society and of government are aristocratic, for the South was but nominally republican. Himself a man of experience in public affairs, of great administrative talent, wllh a quick eye and firm hand, with a great will-power, self-power, with nothing subtracted from it to the credit of conscience's sake laughter, he has just that kind of ability which is called sharp, keen. He is an adroit man. He : is a cunning statesman. Now, at theleginnig, almost every one admired and envied him. We regret that the best side had only a dull honest man, and the worst side such a keen, shrewd manager; and it was often said in the first year. "Let us have the President, and give them ours, and we'll whip them in three months." But I think, no man has heard that said within the last year. Laughter and applause. Who believe now in Davis' sagasity, in his statesmanship. His cunning has ruined him. Men laugh at the outcomiug of those very projects which they admire in their conception. There was never in civillifeso gigantic a blunder as Southern statesmen have made. They have irretrievably ruined themselves by their moves, and inflicted vast evil on their countrymen, and immeasurable damage on their States, and this is what they have to show for cunning statesmanship cunning and not wise. Mr. Lincoln is not cunning but he is wise, and wisdom tells in the long run. i Great applause. Mr. Lincoln is a man j of the people. He was formed by Dem -'Cracy into a Democrat. He believed in it with a child-like simplicity of faith, as if he didn't know there was any thing else in the world. lie came to the Presidency by one of those strange happenings which men call chance, and Christian Frovidence, without one single gift which poetry and aristocracy associate with a supreme leader of a nation. Ungainly in form, without beaut' of features with a manner uncultivated even to that degree that is common to American farmers, not a point was there for romance. With natural shrewdness, with some experience in the administration of public affairs, not skillful, however, in discerning or selecting men, and too kind always to put down a tool which by mistake he had taken up, he has been three years learning to govern, and though somewhat dull he has stuck to his lessons night and day, with such dilligence that now Jeff. Davis could teach him nothing applause while on the other hand President Lincoln could teach Davis a good many things; applause, among others, that honest principles, bravely adhered to, are better statesmanship always than tricky expedients. Applause Mr. Lincoln is the homely President of homely people. He is honest, conscientious, single-minded, disinterestedly seeking the welltare of the nation first, the party next, and of himself not at all. Applause. He has been faithful to the great political truths of our American system, and he has shown to the world that successful government is not the mystery, is not the thing so rare that only a privileged few can enact it, but that the good administration of a Government requires only good common sense and uncommon honesty. Laughter and applause. That is all. Instead of requiring genius, instead oi requiring rare and extraordinary qualities, it requires just those qualities which most politicians sacrifice in order to get governmentcommon sense and common honesty. Applause This is a lesson for Enrope to ponder over. Now, that it is so, we would not have had our President any other. If he had been an accomplished scholar, and learned by travel and experience; if he had every conceivable gift that could dazzle the imagination or touch the heart, men would say good leadership give us the victory, but now men can say the people's power through the President, gave the victory. Applause Our President has been made the butt of ridicule of our newspapers, and of derision among those exalted officials and elegant masters of court ceremonies abroad; for I confess Mr. Lincoln would cut but a poor figure in the Courts of Enrope. Laughter. But it is our ' pride, however, to show these people that we have carried through this terrific struggle, the like of which Europe never knew, not by skill of any extraordinary genius. They took a man from among themselves, a real man of the people, a plain, simple, homely man, and this victory of liberty-loving Democray has been achieved under the leadership of one of these Democrats. When slavery was destroyed, it was well that it should have the very best leadership, that no man should say it was owing to bad management. It has been managed admirably; extraordinary skill and courage have been shown in the management of the cause. If Davis could not save slavery no body could.and hereafter they cannot say that the Democracy of the North was not guided by a democratic President, or that the aristocracy of the Sotith was not guided by an aristocratic President. This great conflict, then, was between aristocrat ic and Democratic Presidents, which represented the two sections of the country. , They had, throughout all their history, carried out the respective natures of aristocrat and Democrat. Let them ponder that. Victory is sure on this side, and we are coming to it month by month. We will come to it if it takes years longer yet The progress of the Democracy may be slow, and in may be some generations before it shall be victorious, bnt victorious it will be. The people ar stronger than any leaders, and tha world will jet find it out (AfpUna.

"These are th men w wish to Xncour- ' fMka While such men as J tuts a D. Biuanr, DAjrtai. W. VtRHK&s and Climsxt L. Valla w dig hasi claim to be the best Union men in the country, the Rebels claim them with pride as belonging on their side of the question. "Their claims are certainly well founded.' There is no mistaking their position. A recent number of the Jackson Mississippian uses tbe following language ia regard to them, and certain newspapers, which also claim to be loyal: "Have our neighbor read the Chicago Times, New York Express, Metropolitan Record, Cincinnati Enquirer, and various other papers in the North which aro exponents of opposition to Lincoln. Have they read the speeches of Bright, Voorhees, Warrick and various others? Have they ever found in any of these papers, or speeches, a syllable that did breathe the most orthodox States right i doctrine and opposition to coercion.' These are the men we wish to encourage, and these aro the men whose success will bring peace." "These are the men we wish to encourage" says tlio Mississippian. But why encourage Voorhees and Vallandigham? Evidently, because they are considered as doing good service for the Rebel cause, and as being in full sympathy with its designs. As a consequence, they are to be encouraged as efficient allies of tl e Southern conspirators, in their infernal design of destroying the Governmeut The complimsnt is well bestowed on ouj Representative, and he will doubtless acknowledge it as such. The Rebels hold his public services in bigb estimation, and dasire to "encourage" him, as a faithful friend and ally in the same cause the destruction of the Federal Union, and the organization of a Southern Confederacy whose corner-stone is to be African Slavery. In another instance, recently,- a Southern msn writes, over his own signature, to the Baltimore American deprecating the pernicious influence of these Northern tories, on the Rebel cause. lie says: "I have been a resident of the State ol iaississippi ior more man twenty-tn ret vcrs, watt mere on uie ureaaung out ot A, 1 11 . I'll , m . 1 tuc reueuion, ana uu long alter me iai ol Vicksburg, and I know something about the precious influence of the speeches of the pretended peace party of th i North on the Rebels of the South. rTho have done more by their clamor for pcaco to prolong this bloody struggle than any other single cause touching the war. And by their false pretentions of horror at t'ja great slaughter of human life in this w tr they have indirectly deen the cause of the untimely death of tens of thousan Is of their fellow-citizens. If I have a iy prejudices in this matter, my early associations through life would predispose me to side with the South. But I see no redeeming features in this unholy rebellion." To argue further that these men are in sympathy with the Rebels, and working for the success of the casue, would be superfluous. It is what every xaudid persons will admit, and what the rebels all know. There record is a shameful one, and their names will be no more respectable, after the rebellion shall fail, . t a m tr t man wuj oe mose oi israsBsox ajati and his associates. Terre Haute Ex press.
