Picket Stones.

Funnr things occur on picket, as the following will show, which is said to hare occurred dnriug Gen. McClellan march through the peninsula. One tnornintr, just at tho breakfast hour, when the aroma of good coffee is doubly delicious, our pickets wera accosted br a voice from the rebel bide, a few tods only diKtant, with Hallo there V Hallo yourself I 'What ye doing over there V Making some coffee. Hare some ?' Will you let me come over V Yes. Will you let me come back ? Yes.' Honor bright ?' Yes.' And ever he came. Hi coffee drank, he smacked his lips, and said : Well, that's very nice. We don't get any of that over on our side. Then casting his eve around, scrutini zing the neat appearance of our men, he continued : Well, you look very comfortable. All of you live so ? Yes.' A few moment more of silence, and he broke out : Well, I like the looks of things bote. I believe I won't go back. And he didn t. Elsewhere on the lines they are not quite so sociable, though they have gen erally quit the practice of shooting our men. 'Where' Deauregard ?' asks one of our men. 'Where's Banks?' nines out the Rebel. Whv don't the balloon go up todav ? asks a Rebel near the New Bridge bat tery, which fired several allots at the baloon the other day. aiting for gas 1 say our men in replv. Exchanges of papers have been fre quent, and sometimes they meet half wav ami have a sit-down, chat on a stump or rail. A couple met in this manner : yes terdar. Ain't yon tired of this war ?' says -mr man. 'Yes. and I wish I was or.t of it its all a humbug,' replies the Kebel.- 'if they d leave it to yon and me,' continued our man, 'we'd Kettle it with out any more fighting, wouldn't we?' 'i t'S sir, said the Rebel, with emphasis. And so ihey would. If left for the pickets to settle, the whole thing would be soon and amicably arranged, and that. loo, on the basis .f 'things as they were. How tiiey Fire in Battle. -Aa ar my correspoudent says : You wonder whether the regiments ire regularly in vollev, or whether each man loads and fires as fast as he can. That depends upon circumstances ; but, usually, except when the enemy is near at hand, the regiments fire onlr at th omtnand of their officers. You hear a Irop, drop, drop, as a few of the skirm ishers fire, followed by a rattle and roll. which sounds like the f.tllincr of a bnilling, just as some of you have heard the brick walls tumble at great fire. Some times, when a body of the enemy's cavalry are sweeping down upon a regiment to cut il to pieces, the men form into a square, with the officers and musicians in the comer. The front rank stands with bayonets charged, while the second rank fires as fast as it can. Sometimes thev form in four ranks deep the two front ones kneeling with bayonets charged, so that if the enemy should come upon them they would run against a picket fence of bayonets. When they form in this way the other two ranks load and fire as fast as they can. Alien the roar is terrific, and many a horse and his rider goes down before the ternble storm of bullets. Ono Singular Feature of the Stata Elections The New England Emigration. Jamc8 brocks, Esq., in his late speech at the Domocrstic Jubilee in New York city, over the result of tho late elections, said : "But curious are the lines of political demaikaiion in tho campaign of 1862. herever the 2sow England columns of emigration have traveled, mainly, soli tary and alone, from. Massachusetts or elsewhere along the northern counties of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin, there have been the columns of Republican majorities, but wherever have been the columns of this other emigralion. m Southern New York, throughout all New Jersey, in Southern Pennsylvania, and Southern Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, there have been immense Democratic majorities. Applause. Far be it from me to speak irrevereutiy of Xew England. It is 'my own, mr native land, but I wish she would follow the example of that illustrious Yankee, Ben Franklin, and attend to her own business and let other people alone." Applause. JC3T At a weekly meeting, a strairrhtlaced and most exemularr deacon sub mitted a report in writing of the destitute widows who stood in need of assistance from the congregation. "Are vou sure. deacon," asked another solemn brother. that you have embraced all the widow?" He said he believed he had.

The Abolition Animal Showing Him elf.

The Alton Telegraph, a leading abolition paper of Illinois, has become incensed at the continual opposition of the Democracy to the influx of the negroes into that State as to loose his prudence, and thereby discloses the hypocrisy of the regard he has always professed for the adopted citizens. He says : "All this is very lad, but there is yet a deeper grief for the tory Democrat, whose philanthropy makes him feel more keenly other's sufferings than his own. He sees that after the 1st of next January, if there are two Irishmen digging a ditch anywhere in . i v- a tt "t a. " i i me iorin, one win nave to quit wore ana give his spade to a neero; if he hires a Dutchman to saw up a load of wood at hi door, he will be compelled to hire a negro to split and carry it in. Also: ' Tears Of sympathy will roll down his checks when he tees one of his Dutchmen compelled to share his bretxel, Bologna aau sage and glass of lager beer with a negro, and see a nigger's hand in an Irishman's potato pot, or his mouth covering the noxxle of an Irishman's whiskey bottle, is the low est depth of woe. How distressing to these pseudo-philan thropists that the Democracy will not con sent to consider a negro as good as a Dutchman or Irishman, or any other white man. Novel and Astounding Mathematical Calculations. A mathematical correspondent of the Columbus Crisis gives tho following sta tistics : I have been thinking of the magnitude of the war on our hands, and got to ma king some calculations. They ar enormous, but nevertheless true. It may sur prise a great many, but if they will take the pains to make tho calculations, they will hnd them very near, if not quite corcct. The public debt of the United States, according to the report of the Secretary of theTreasury, is 81,122,000,000 ; this amount in one dollar green backs would, if sprea out, cover 1,047 square acres, or 6t square miles. , If laid end to end they would reach 123,385,112 miles, or 518 514 times around the earth. Allowing the expenses to amount to $2,000,000 per day. they would make (if laid eud to end,; miles, or about as far as a locomotive would run in a day. Allowing the 700,000 soldiers to average, in height, 5 feet, they would reach, if lying head to foot, 752 J miles ; standing heels and toe touching would reach 104 miles. Allowing the arms and artillery of the 700,000 to average-12 pounds to each man, they would, if made into railroad iron, make 31 miles of railroad. Allowing the clothing of the soldiers to average 12 yards to each man, it would make 8,400,000 yards, or 4,772 8-11 miles. In two years, allowing three suits to each man, it would make enough cloth to reach around the earth. If it costs 300,000 lives, and 91.000.000,000 to free 50,000 negroes in If years, at that rate it will cost 24,000,000 men, 980,000.000,000, and will take 140 years to free the 4,000,000. PoruLAR Ignorance. At a religions public meeting, not long ago, a speaker was illustrating the ignorance that prevailed in the country, and said that a colporteur going with tracts into the log house of a dweller on the Ohio, asked the woman if they had the Gospel there.She said "No ; but they have it dreadful bad about four mile below." WdYse than this is related in a letter from chaplain in Arkansas, who says that a woman buying furs was conversing with a woman at whose houses he stopped, and asked hor "if thcro were any Presbyte rians around there ? She hesitated little, and said, "she guessed not ; her husband hadn't killed any since they had been there. Praise is sometimes as hurtful as censure. It is as bad to be blown into the air as to be cast iuto a pit. jt5T Terror is strongest when undefin ed. If we knew what Death was like, men would as soon dio as sleep. atSTThe example of a ruler should have the force of law, and all the laws of a ruler should be enforced by his example. 27" Old folks become precise and methodical, because, feeling that life is drawing to its close, they desire to make the best of the remnant that is left, and the most of everything they do. Youth thinks it has so great a future before it. and plans so many grand achievements for the coming "morrow, that the com mon duties of the day are slightly and slightingly discharged. A shame attaches to Venice for losing the art of making ruby glass, greater than the merit which is das to her for discovering it. Do ninety-nine favors tor a taan and refuse the hundredth, and he hates yon ninety-nine times more than if . you had never dene him a favor at all. CZJ' It is a proof of the hih estima tion which the world, after all, places npon intellect, that ererr mother would rather know her child waa clever than I comely.

IfSaWWWa WTW..mrtlMvw.m aw lUtt l.UUJMlilllUVlL AITS OF THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT. The Proclamation of Abraham Lincoln, issued on the first of January, caps the climax of the arbitrary and unconsti tutional acts of his Administration. The war has now become, instead of a war to maintain the Union and exeente the laws, a war to overthrow the Constitntion and the laws, and to render the restoration of the Union impossible. It has ever been the glory of the American people, since they won their independence by arms in a seven veass war. and formed a Union of States for their mutual protection, that they had a written Constitution drawn np with the greatest care by the heroes and sages of the devolution a fundamental, organic law by which are clarly defined the rights and powers of the Federal Government. the rights and powers of the several States, and the riirhts and immunities of tho individual citizen, a perfectly harmo- . . 1 , , ... uiuun macnine, wun wheels within wheels, all depending noon each other. This Magna Charta of America is described in the instrument itself to be the su premo law of the land, to which all oth er laws must be referred, and pronounced Yamu or nun ana voia, just as they Harmonize with or are in antagonism to its provisions. And by the same standard must be judged the acta of the Executive, which are illegal and of no effect without its authority. The Constitution was de signed to apply to war as well as to peace. and it does cover the whole ground. The radicals and abolitionists, finding no warrant in the Constitution for their- legisla tion in Congress, or the proclamations of the President, or the proceedings of his Secretaries, fall back upon some indefinable despotic authority, which they call the war power. in virtue of this, they contend that the President can override the Constitution, and that his will and order are the supreme law of the land ticjubto ; pro ratione itet mea aoluntas ; so that u he thought proper to seize the .n.ajnn .n a I entire property ol the people of the btate Aew-York, or even to chop off the heads

. r . , ...1 latures or the holding of Presidential elections during the same period. Such is me legitimate conclusion to wuicn tue monstrous and absurd doctrine put forward by the abolition monomaniacs inevuauiy icaua. In point of fact, the President, the Secretary ot Male, the becretary of War, and the Postmaster-General, since the present uiooay sirue was inaugurated, have committed numerous acts as illegal and as unjustifiable as any of these. In the loyal states ot the JNorth they have suppressed freedom of speech and of the press, naving crusnea newspspers oy arresting their editors and proprietors and sending them to prison, by seizing the issites as published, and by refusing to transmit them through the mails, contrary to the laws of Congress. Thus was private property confiscated and destroyea oy aruurary power. Alt l'uuaueipma, in the State of Ohio, and even in New England, men have been arrested and . . , -4w"i opinions in public, as they had a right to do, upon the course of the Government; and some have been dragged out - of their beds at dead of night and immured in dungeons lor mere private conver sation perfectly legitimate, while others, who neither by word nor deed had offend ed the tyrants at Washington, were con signed to the same quarters because some body had merely suspected them, or lest hereafter they might possibly say or do sometning onenstvo or dangerous to aes potism. Among the other nnconstitu tional acts of the President is his sua pension of the haceas corpus, a power ex pressly reserved for Congress, and not for the Executive; and only to Congress is tne power given in certain contingencies, and in rebellious districts, to suspend it in New York or Ohio is beyond even the power of Congress. We lave borrowed the privilege of habeas corpus r ci i ... j . ... rom England, and in that country it is never suspended by tho monarch, but by Act of Parliament. But Mr. Lincoln usurps powers such as no monarch iu modern times would dare to exercise. What says the Constitntion ? 'Con gress shall make no law abridging the ireedom of speech orot the press, or the a a . aw. service in time of war or public danger : . . . nor be deprived of lifeliberty, or property without due process of law8 In all criminal prosecutions, the acenseo shall enjoy the risbt to as peed v and nubIUtn.1 mm.

been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation : to be confronted with the witnesses against him ; to have compulsory proccs for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defence.' 'Excessive bail uhall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and nnusual punishments inflicted.'f Every provision in this great bill of rights has been flagrantly violated by the present Governmeut. Citizens have been deprived of both liberty and property not only without due proce of law, bnt without any color or pretence of law at all, or any accusation whatever against them. Tho arrest and imprisonment of Mrs. Brinsinade is a case in point. Proprietors of newspapers have been deprived of both liberty and property without any process of law. The accused 'have not enjoyed the right to a speedy and public trial. Many have been imprisoned in forts for upwards of a year without ever having learned the cause of their arrest or the nature of the accusation against them. They have not been confronted with any witnesses, and 60 far from having a trial by jury in their own State and district. they have been kidnapped at night and carried off to other States. For example. Dr. Olds, of Ohio, taken out of his Led by three armed men, with pistols to his head, who produced no warrant, and whom he believed to bo robbers and murlerers, whom he says he would have shot had he been armed. It is held by Blackstone and all other jurists, that to kill such persons is justifiable homicide. Thus seized, ho was conveyed away secret lv out of the State, and brought to Fort Lafayette in this State. It is the boast of au Englishman under a monarchy, that his house is his castle. What is left to us any longer to boast of nndor a republie? Dr. Olds was release! without a charge againtit him, and without trial, just as arbitrarily as he was arrested and imprisoned. And as lor tne -crusity suffered bv him and the other prisoners, af it was so 'unusual that it was sufficient I q deprive them of reason, and one man did actually become insane, and another So far from obevinz the injunction 'not to require excessive bail tho Governwould not Darmit the liberation of - " - . l the Drisoners on any amount of bail in cases where there was no crime known to the law ; and the demand to 'have the Lsnifitanra of counsel.' was in all cases not only refused, but become the cause f aggravating the tiardsnips ana increasing the duration of the imprisonment. The ca8e f Mrs. Brinsmade. when brouht to Ueht. was so atrocious, that every one, from tho Secretary of War down to Fouche Kennedy, shifted the responsibility from his own shoulders to somebody I else, let tho President did not remove one of the culprits from office. In the caSo ol General Uutler. whose outrages to men and women at New-Orleans drew,lnon his head the condemnation of the ciiUzed world, Mr. Lincoln has virtually indorsed his acts, and thus made himself responsible.

After le ng twenty-two days in that cell, he was put with eleven others, making twelve in all. into an apartment fif tee u feet by twentyfive, where they had all to lcp and rock, and find place for tables, chair, cooking utensils, trunks, and such like. In a similar rocm described by GovernorMorehead, of Kentucky, there were thirty prisoners together ; and such was the inhumanity of the jailers, that they would not permit a light when they knew that one of the prisoners was dyin g, and th groans of his last agony roa le this dreary den tenfold more hideous. And who wcro those thrown without even the color of law into this loathsome prison ? Some of the first men of the country men against whom no crime was even allege 1. How long they would have remained there but for the potent voice of the people expressed through the ballot-box in the elections of Ohio. Illinois Indians, Penn sylvania, .New-Jersey, and New-York, can never be known. In this case the voice of the people was tho voice cf Goi calling them forth from the toomb where they were buried, as tho voice of CnaisT brought Lazarus from the grave eight eea hundred years ago. More than two thousand arbitrary arrests have been ma le during the last eighteen months. The day is not far distant when tho tyrants and their minions will have toausucr for their crimes to the outraged laws.

Equally unconstitutional an 1 void are the confiscation acts of Congress, tiptm which the proclamation of the Picsi ient is feunded.
