The London Literary Gazette of August 10th states that during September there will be pub- liahed a work of rare interest to the Biblical scholar. It is a fac-simile of the earliest copy of the Scrinares 'ever ret discovered. The tcaou script eoataias portions of the Gospel of St, Matthew, aad was writtea hy Nicholaua, the aev. enth deacon, at the dictation of the Apostle Matthew, fifteea Tears alter the ascension. The manuscript, together with many others was die- covered by the Bev. Mr. Stobart, in a sarcopha' gua, at Thebes, and was brought by him to En gland. Ob his arrival ia this country he eold a portion of his collection to the British Muaeaas, and a coaaiderable number of the remainder be dia posed ot to Mr. ilejer, the celebrated archseol- ogist of Liverpool. Thoo in the British Mu- seum remain unrolled and unread to the present day, but Mr. Meyer, having obtained the assist-aoce of Dr. K. Simonidea, proceeded to unroll the various papyri, and among others of great interest was discovered one in fragments, con taining portions of the Gospel of St. Matthew, and bearing the inscription The writing by the hand of Nicholaus the Deacon, at the dictation of Matthew, the Apcsue of Jesus Christ: it was done in the fifteenth year after the Aaceneion of our Lord, and was distributed to the believing Jews and Greeks Paleatioe.' The papyrus ia much damae-ed. and the fras meats preserved are not very numerous, bu they supply two lost verses, furnish a much, pu rer text than any other known version, and clear up many passages that nave hitherto bee doubt-tul and obscure. The manuscript is written in the Greek oneial character, and ' ia ail probabi! ity was the identical manuscript that was copied seven times by Hermodorus, during the life of the apostle, and likewise seven times afier his death. Thai copy from which the English ver-aion of the Gospel is chitAy derived, is the Hev- eotb copy made by Hermodorus, preserved ia ooe of the monasteries of the East, and ia this several orreva have besn aas4e i two tranecrin ; tioo. The publication of thii work is one of the greatest interest to the Christian world, and will probably excite more attention than any similar discovery during the present century. Tre done Smoking!" The following is fern the Boston JVareZZer. Let those who smoke go and do likewise, aad the blessing will follow the deed. Our friend delivered himself thus, honestly i - n a ." ae '. aa- ana in earnest, as ne emptiea ais moutn oi tne laat cigar, our mouth became full fall of bles- sings s ; -: v . ; Blessed is the man himself. 1 He is more wise, more cleanly, more savory, and more reasonable, than when he went amok iug and puffing about like a locomotive, Blessed is the man's trife. She h the happiest woman, for the four reasons mentioned in the last sentence, std for eoany snore. She wad hoped against nope Tor the last puff, but it has been made at last. We seem to see her face brighten, her step is more elastic, her voice is sweeter, her welcome to her husband, as he reaches home, is now more cordial. She has our hearty congratulations. Blessed is the man's aouie. Aa unsavory spirit has gone but of it. More easily can it be lept neat aud tidy. Old repellances-will repulse no more. Blessed is the mae's apparel. . A certain fragrance has left it ; but aot to the sorrow of those oft in proximity with him. His wardrobe is mi nus n real aaooyaaee, and plus the benediction off many a friend. ; v And blessed is the man's kealik. In the smoke end fire he so long kept up beneath his nostrils, he fed an insidious enemy. And his whole aer. vous and digestive system unite ia the benediction we now unite. And blessed is the man's pocktL A leak is stopped.

And blessed is the man's reswattoav May it tower aloft, like a gigantic pillar, above nil the smoke and fire that may assail it. . That last puffl Bo it the Jest I And though the smokers ill not join, yet there will be enough te neite in a hearty Amen. . Take Car of little Things.

It havin therel bin determined te pertect Bal- dinawille at all hazxurde, and as there was no immejit danger, I thought I would go orf eato a pleasure tower. Accordingly I put oa a clean Biled Shirt and started for Wnshington. I went there to see the Prints Napoleon, and not to see the place, which I will here take occasion te ob serve is about aa nninterestia a locality as there is this side of J. Davis's futer home, if he ever does die, and where I reckon they'll make it so warm for him that he will si for hie summer close. It is eay enuff to see why a man goes to the poor house or the penitantiary. It's becaws he can't help it. But why he should wolonurily go and live in Washiaton, is intirely bejond my comprehension, and I can't sa no fairer nor that. ; - I put np to a 'leadin hotel.

Seaeasionisis. and profess to be tbemaelveapar excellence, the only Union men in the conntry. . We 'well remem. ber that in 1848-9 several petitions, numerously signed, were presented to the Legislature that the Union might be dissolved and there was one from Stark, and Portage counties, praying that t& Ohio' should secede from the Union and net op for herself. f This petition was signed by Joseph Tre f, and 41 other legal vot ers and 38 females and. minors! It mar bo found on page 321 House Jonrnal, 1843-9 aad reads a folk WS i "r ' " ' " ' Z Tu the General J ttemUy of He, & f Ohm, im Semafe and Mouse of Hepr'eseHtaltcet, con- ened: . Tb undersigned, legal voters, and others over the age of fifteen years, and residents in the counties of Portage and Stark, earnestly pray you to call a convention of the people of Ohio, concert measures for effecting a speedy and PEACEABLE SECESSION of this State from the Union, for some or all of the following reasons : 1. Because the State of Ohio with the Union is voluntary, aad a Free State cannot be voIud-tanly associated in political relationsr with Slave States, without giving the countenance and sane tioa ef that voluntary association to the slavery of those Slave States, on the principle that a State, as well as a man, "is known by the company it keeps," and therefore Ohio, keeping company with the Southern States, is responsible for their slavery ;. and while in the Union with the SUve States, is, by means ef that very connection, one of Ibe Slave States!. 2. Because by continuing in the Union the 2,000,000 people in this State are throwing the shield of their respectability over 300,000 southern slaveholders, as a screen from the rebuke due their horrible crimes, on the principle that respectability goes with nuofbers ; that a nation is more respectable than a State, and that a te-buke that would be felt, if permitted o votne down on the beads of three hundred thousand, would be thrown away if taken off from their shoaldere and divided among two millions and three hundred thousand. - , . a. . Because the people of this State' are-bound to express is the strongest manner possible, their abhorrence of the crimes of these slaveholders, and to bear the most solemn testimony in their power, not only against these crimes, but also against the criminals who com mit them j and in no way can they make this abhorrence so manifest, and this testimony so emphatie an 1 start-ling as by saying to these- criminals, "stand by yourselves come not near ns we'll bare noth tag te do with yon,' 4. Because the people of Ohio can not remain in the Union even fur a tingle lour, only aa in compliance with the agreement which they have made to aid the sJavebolier, and .which they solemnly and by oath renew to them every year, they pay bim power in site general govern-M.ent as m premium for every slave be shall kidnap, breed or bold ;.only ae they make theu soil his hunting around, and thrmt back into the hell . TerI whence be ha escaped,, bis runws.y ncums j and only as they pledge themselves to pour the leaden death inta, the viteJe ot those , poor victims which, in the agouy of their dispair they resist the master's, nnd riee ta assert theu ! hl?

The Ution consequently rests npon slavery as its cor i aer ttone; fha 3,CS3.Cao of slaves oonstitnte the bond jrhich bin it t gether.,; Jt 4e cement a4 With their. blood, 4. Ita mighty fabrie of gov erooaent is retrei upon tieir paneled limbs and broksa bodies; and therere the people of Ohio cannot be partner ia the Union, withowt being cbsrgsable before the world and Wore Heavca tth being slaveholders or slaveowner. r, C. Became bad it aot bees for the Uoioo, sTa-jary arunld Jong siDce' have been dead. The Uaum has been the sole means of keeDinr it ia existence JM sow. It hie been thai which has raised it from tha abject condUioa ia which it LB.ifed tt of iu-victisas from TCO,. C.3 to ever3::,C:3i and therefore, Ohio, ae part of tha Uniaa"bas done her eartfif ttedaed iBNs4 o a-t ui raxuT.. T, Zoatrss slavery is the s of crimes, and T,A - m,T?r?Iiet, attbe UfvuttlontA the fJcnon.Se cte fresett growti. cf ki?ly power aad baczhty cri. - It has hn iat which has 'suq ; and the Union was formed for the mutual protect io a of the parties united, and therefore since the people of Ohio cannot - remain ia the Union without protecting the South without slaveholders without protecting slavery, they onot remain in it without protecting the mo?t beinoos system of wickedness that ever exists a. Because, for the above reasons, Ohio never bad a right to join the Union. The very act of cvmios; inm u was a mistase and a crime ; and each hour Of continuing ia it, from that day to this, has been but a repetition of that crime, on ly growing coBUaually greater with the lapse of umwaao. toe growing ngntj and therefore her continuance is it now, after so many long years of experience, and under the blazing light of the noon in the 19th century, is Unoriginal crime heightened into a very colossus of evil, andin creased to mat magnitude of enormity, that words cannot express the reality. ; 9. Because the Senators and BepresenUtives from this State cannot take their seats io Con- rrees by the siJe ef slaveho'der from tha South, without reoognising those tyranu as fit to make laws for Ohio freemen ; aad, therefore, the people of this State, who send those Senators aad Representatives, cannot remain in the Union with those slaveholders without also recoenisice wem as ut io maae ueir laws. 10. Because the Union, having 'nationalised slavery, and made it American, baa involved the people of Ohio, as well as of the other Northern States, apt only in the guilt but also in the disgrace of that . execrable system; has exposed them to the charge of inconsistency and hypocrisy; has subjected them to the taunts and sneers of the despotisms of Europe ; has caused their very name to become n by-word and m hissing, and themselves to be made the laughing stocic ot even barbarians ; and in no way can they relieve themselves from this deep aod merited d.sgraee, so long as they continue in the Uaioa which has brought it upon tbem. . 11. Because the people of Ohio eao not possibly ba in a government anion with the South, without being subjected 'to a heavy pecuniary every year, in support of slavery slavery being essentially bankrupt system. 12. Because, finally, the people of Ohio clearly possess the right to leave the Union. The Union is only a means, and if the people of wnio ininK tne ends that ought to be attained by it not attained, or if they think the ends attained by it bad cods, they have the right to come out oflt. and set np a new Government. This right is distinctly asserted in the Declaration of Independence, and ia founded in the very Deters of State sovereignty; by exercising it, Ohio would interfere with the right of no portion of the con-federacy, not even with those of the Sooth. lxgal rorcRs.v Joseph Treat, Joseph B.

Herald is now the strongest paper in defence of Preside at Lincoln and his war pot-icy. .We copy from it the following able article. Jfrom tho New-York Herald, Sept. JO. The President's Position on the Abolition vlaesUon. The New TorkTribane of yesterday contained a covert attack upon the President ir an editorial article nnder the caption of The Slaves of Rebels, " Its manifest tendency is to injure and i embarrass the government, and drive- the ship of State upon the shoals and rocks. The Chicago ' Tribune boldly shows its hand, and makes a fu- rio is onalooght,; apoa thai Administration, for which the edivor onght'to be sent to keep com pv ny with, the Abbe, McMaster at Ft. Lafayette. 1 The New York Tribune's attack is insidious, but equally hostile and equally deserving of public reprobation. It eaus for. the immediate attention of the Secretary of State aad the. United States larshaU; ;;It is far mora prejudicial to the government and more dangerous to the cause of ion vbiww ums om ua. ana ever appearea in loe columns o(h FreeinaU.

Now ths very re- versa of this fket. ; Clavery "is not J he cause cf ih's war," ar Cio groundwork of the rebellion ja as whiiky was aot the ground wot k of the Pena. sj Wania rebellion.

Geaer- whisky, which is a very good tbi eg ia its way when used with moderation, and is still a legitimate article of manufacture and commerce in Pennsylvania. His object wis to eufwrce obedience to the Iaa, aot to accomplish the abolition of whisky, and bis success was commensurate with the reasonableness of the' ol ject of the war. Had be isseed a proclamation abolishing whiskey, the result, to say the least, would have jbeen very doubtful. It is not slavery, then, that is the cause of the present war and the groundwork of the rebellion, for slavery is a legitimate institution, having existed before and at the formation of the Union, end its protection having bsen expressly guaranteed in the constitution. Its continuance or extinction in any 8 tale is a question solely for the adjudication of the people of that State, and for no other State or number of Slates, nor for the federal Congress, nor ths President of the Union. If slavery is the cause of the rebellion," why did it not produce It before', during the three quarters of a century which-, the government existed 7 It is clear that slavery ia not the cause of the trouble, but the fanatical disposition at the North to meddle with it. It is playing -the part of a busybody in other men's matters that has intro duced the wedge which I as split the Union. In one word, it is abolitionism. For the last thirty years it has waged a crusade against the institu tion of slavery, and its leaders have frequently declared that they preferred its abolition ta the continuance of the Union, and that is their sentiment to-day. By their violence and their pro-paganism they have supplied the ground on which the insurgent chieftains have erected the fabric of secession, and bat for the abolitionists the Southern leaders of the rebellion never could have succeeded. Nor will the insurrection be ever put down till abolitionism is cut up root and branch. The Abolitionists are as much rebels in heart and as much disaffected to the Uniou and the constitution as the Southern sesetsionists. . Not only are they the notorious cause of the dismemberment of the Union, but the main hindrance to its restoration.. Their organs assail the government either openly or covertly, prematurely disclose its plaos, and endeavor to force it into dangerous steps by bringing partyclamor to bear against it; aad they even encourage insubordination to the suDreme power. A short time ago one of these journals proposed to supersede the President by a revolution, and appoint ueorge uv ia nis stead by an insurgent mob. Now several, of them again propose to supersede the President and place high above him in authority one of bis own generals. Fremont, at St. Louis, of his own mere motion, and Without the sanction of the President . issues an ill-advised proclamation, which carried out the ideas of the obolitiomsts, jnstified the charges of the secessionists against Air, Lincoln s government, ana ignored auxe tae law of Congress and the existence of the Chief Maristrative at Washington. It was a highhand ed act of insubordination, and the Tribune and other abolition journals sustain him in it, aud censure the President for mildly insisting on the adherence of his subordinate to the letter and spirit of the law of Congress, which the Presi-dewt ia bound to carry out in pursuance of his oath. - . ' ' " : The proclamation of Mr. Fremont was a piece of dictatorship akin to the mutiny and insubordination io California, for which he was tried by court martial and found guilty, in the Mexican war. He was sentenced to death, but saved by the influence of bis father in-law. His recent act is far more reprehensible, because involving more serious consequences. The President only administers a gentle rebuke, but at the same time asserts his own authority, and proclaims that neither General Fremont nor any other general ahall transcend the law of Congress : that no slave shaTl be set free by the authority of a general under any circumstances ; that no slaves, even of rebels in arms, shall bi ' seized hy any general n a leas those slaves axe proved to nave been need in military operations of toe enemy. and that whatever slaves are justly captured shall be held to the end of the war. It was fortunate, ia one secse, that ' General Fremont gave the President an opportunity of no bly coming out before the country as be has done. His letter no longer leaves any doubt of the design of the government in the prosecution of the war, and it has saved Kentucky to the Union. The Preaident, it is true, hss given mortal offence to the abolitionists, and they will never for- pivehim in this world or the world to come. But hs has made millions of friends, white he has lost sofve h undreds of fanatical followers, whose nottort was onlv conditional. The offence should come some time, and the sooner the hei fer. The course of lbs President has knocked f.i- - V I 1 . :, k.a mmmnA lh A DO U 11 on Lb UJ n tni oeau, uui i u country and prevented the war from degenerating into Mexican anarchy.

In the North, too, it would paraiyxe vne arm the government, nod deprire the war of that general and enthusiastic support whicb is essential to its success. . . "- It is as imporUnt, therefore, Tor the government to rint a ston'to the rebellions course of the abolitionists as to seize secession sympathisers. Tbev are both equally the enemies of the admin istration.

He is going to strike altogether this time. When Price end the main body of the rebel army are annihilated he will then see to the protection of every man in the State. Uen.

Totting of the Qnn Boat Iron. Tha plate for the sua boats buildine at St. Loais were tested with a rifled cannon a fewdaya since, with very gratifying results. The plates for the experiment (ZJinches thick), were placed aad firmly bolted to oak blocks about sixteen in ches thick, and stationed is a fir js position a4 aa angle of forty-five degrees, and iodi nation the same as the gun boats. At a distance of 809 yards quite as far as the gunner could see the target, the ball struck the iron nndsr one of tha bolts, tearing it out without injury to the iron, enly makiogts mark in a raking way. The next abot that hit the iron, was fired at a diet voce of five hundred yard, This made a very decided mark, indenting the iron one inch. The next shot at five hundred yards hit fair, and also made a dent about one inch deep, starting the bolts. Next they came up to three hundred yards distance, and the effect on the iron was the aama each time, a deep indentation being made, but not a crack or airn of breaking. Now the party said they would see if one could be put through so the iron target was set np straight, or a Iittls leaning towards the gon, which was placed only one hundred yards off. All said it must go through. The ball hit fair in the centre, knocking, the target around out of its place, and shattering the ball in a thousand fragments, many pieces dying back to the gun. - It was now de termined unsafe to try it at a shorter range. Is being decided by Capt Rodgers. and all tssds present that the iron reaisted beyond all expectations, and proved to be of a very superior quality, we gave it np that we eonld not put a ball through it, aod it was pronounced perfectly satisfactory. Trials of iron have been made ia Ea-gland on from four to ten inch plates, and belle have penetrated through, but it must be remembered that the English iron mostly, if net aH ef it, is "stonecoal iron," while the iron now being nsd for the gun boats building by Cepi. Jaa. B. Eads, is ef the very best American "ebarcoal iron." i his a ceo ud is, to a great extent, for the wonderful resistance of two aad a kali" lack thick plates. - This speaks well for the reputation of Gaylord, Son & Co's iron. Tbey have placed themselves under a forfeiture of $200 per day for every day's delay beyond the time they were to deliver the iron.

The London Literary Gazette of August 10th states that during September there will be pub- liahed a work of rare interest to the Biblical scholar. It is a fac-simile of the earliest copy of the Scrinares 'ever ret discovered. The tcaou script eoataias portions of the Gospel of St, Matthew, aad was writtea hy Nicholaua, the aev. enth deacon, at the dictation of the Apostle Matthew, fifteea Tears alter the ascension. The manuscript, together with many others was die- covered by the Bev. Mr. Stobart, in a sarcopha' gua, at Thebes, and was brought by him to En gland. Ob his arrival ia this country he eold a portion of his collection to the British Muaeaas, and a coaaiderable number of the remainder be dia posed ot to Mr. ilejer, the celebrated archseol- ogist of Liverpool. Thoo in the British Mu- seum remain unrolled and unread to the present day, but Mr. Meyer, having obtained the assist-aoce of Dr. K. Simonidea, proceeded to unroll the various papyri, and among others of great interest was discovered one in fragments, con taining portions of the Gospel of St. Matthew, and bearing the inscription The writing by the hand of Nicholaus the Deacon, at the dictation of Matthew, the Apcsue of Jesus Christ: it was done in the fifteenth year after the Aaceneion of our Lord, and was distributed to the believing Jews and Greeks Paleatioe.' The papyrus ia much damae-ed. and the fras meats preserved are not very numerous, bu they supply two lost verses, furnish a much, pu rer text than any other known version, and clear up many passages that nave hitherto bee doubt-tul and obscure. The manuscript is written in the Greek oneial character, and ' ia ail probabi! ity was the identical manuscript that was copied seven times by Hermodorus, during the life of the apostle, and likewise seven times afier his death. Thai copy from which the English ver-aion of the Gospel is chitAy derived, is the Hev- eotb copy made by Hermodorus, preserved ia ooe of the monasteries of the East, and ia this several orreva have besn aas4e i two tranecrin ; tioo. The publication of thii work is one of the greatest interest to the Christian world, and will probably excite more attention than any similar discovery during the present century. Tre done Smoking!"

Tb undersigned, legal voters, and others over the age of fifteen years, and residents in the counties of Portage and Stark, earnestly pray you to call a convention of the people of Ohio, concert measures for effecting a speedy and PEACEABLE SECESSION of this State from the Union, for some or all of the following reasons : 1. Because the State of Ohio with the Union is voluntary, aad a Free State cannot be voIud-tanly associated in political relationsr with Slave States, without giving the countenance and sane tioa ef that voluntary association to the slavery of those Slave States, on the principle that a State, as well as a man, "is known by the company it keeps" and therefore Ohio, keeping company with the Southern States, is responsible for their slavery ;. and while in the Union with the SUve States, is, by means ef that very connection, one of Ibe Slave States!. 2. Because by continuing in the Union the 2,000,000 people in this State are throwing the shield of their respectability over 300,000 southern slaveholders, as a screen from the rebuke due their horrible crimes, on the principle that respectability goes with nuofbers ; that a nation is more respectable than a State, and that a te-buke that would be felt, if permitted o votne down on the beads of three hundred thousand, would be thrown away if taken off from their shoaldere and divided among two millions and three hundred thousand. - , . a. . Because the people of this State' are-bound to express is the strongest manner possible, their abhorrence of the crimes of these slaveholders, and to bear the most solemn testimony in their power, not only against these crimes, but also against the criminals who com mit them j and in no way can they make this abhorrence so manifest, and this testimony so emphatie an 1 start-ling as by saying to these- criminals, "stand by yourselves come not near ns we'll bare noth tag te do with yon,' 4. Because the people of Ohio can not remain in the Union even fur a tingle lour, only aa in compliance with the agreement which they have made to aid the sJavebolier, and .which they solemnly and by oath renew to them every year, they pay bim power in site general govern-M.ent as m premium for every slave be shall kidnap, breed or bold ;.only ae they make theu soil his hunting around, and thrmt back into the hell . TerI whence be ha escaped,, bis runws.y ncums j and only as they pledge themselves to pour the leaden death inta, the viteJe ot those , poor victims which, in the agouy of their dispair they resist the master's, nnd riee ta assert theu ! hl?

Because, for the above reasons, Ohio never bad a right to join the Union. The very act of cvmios; inm u was a mistase and a crime ; and each hour Of continuing ia it, from that day to this, has been but a repetition of that crime, on ly growing coBUaually greater with the lapse of umwaao. toe growing ngntj and therefore her continuance is it now, after so many long years of experience, and under the blazing light of the noon in the 19th century, is Unoriginal crime heightened into a very colossus of evil, andin creased to mat magnitude of enormity, that words cannot express the reality. ; 9. Because the Senators and BepresenUtives from this State cannot take their seats io Con- rrees by the siJe ef slaveho'der from tha South, without reoognising those tyranu as fit to make laws for Ohio freemen ; aad, therefore, the people of this State, who send those Senators aad Representatives, cannot remain in the Union with those slaveholders without also recoenisice wem as ut io maae ueir laws. 10. Because the Union, having 'nationalised slavery, and made it American, baa involved the people of Ohio, as well as of the other Northern States, apt only in the guilt but also in the disgrace of that . execrable system; has exposed them to the charge of inconsistency and hypocrisy; has subjected them to the taunts and sneers of the despotisms of Europe ; has caused their very name to become n by-word and m hissing, and themselves to be made the laughing stocic ot even barbarians ; and in no way can they relieve themselves from this deep aod merited d.sgraee, so long as they continue in the Uaioa which has brought it upon tbem. . 11. Because the people of Ohio eao not possibly ba in a government anion with the South, without being subjected 'to a heavy pecuniary every year, in support of slavery slavery being essentially bankrupt system. 12. Because, finally, the people of Ohio clearly possess the right to leave the Union. The Union is only a means, and if the people of wnio ininK tne ends that ought to be attained by it not attained, or if they think the ends attained by it bad cods, they have the right to come out oflt. and set np a new Government. This right is distinctly asserted in the Declaration of Independence, and ia founded in the very Deters of State sovereignty; by exercising it, Ohio would interfere with the right of no portion of the con-federacy, not even with those of the Sooth. lxgal rorcRs.v Joseph Treat, Joseph B.

Herald is now the strongest paper in defence of Preside at Lincoln and his war pot-icy. .We copy from it the following able article. Jfrom tho New-York Herald, Sept. JO. The President's Position on the Abolition vlaesUon. The New TorkTribane of yesterday contained a covert attack upon the President ir an editorial article nnder the caption of The Slaves of Rebels, " Its manifest tendency is to injure and i embarrass the government, and drive- the ship of State upon the shoals and rocks. The Chicago ' Tribune boldly shows its hand, and makes a fu- rio is onalooght,; apoa thai Administration, for which the edivor onght'to be sent to keep com pv ny with, the Abbe, McMaster at Ft.

Now ths very re- versa of this fket. ; Clavery "is not J he cause cf ih's war" ar Cio groundwork of the rebellion ja as whiiky was aot the ground wot k of the Pena. sj Wania rebellion.

His object wis to eufwrce obedience to the Iaa, aot to accomplish the abolition of whisky, and bis success was commensurate with the reasonableness of the' ol ject of the war. Had be isseed a proclamation abolishing whiskey, the result, to say the least, would have jbeen very doubtful. It is not slavery, then, that is the cause of the present war and the groundwork of the rebellion, for slavery is a legitimate institution, having existed before and at the formation of the Union, end its protection having bsen expressly guaranteed in the constitution. Its continuance or extinction in any 8 tale is a question solely for the adjudication of the people of that State, and for no other State or number of Slates, nor for the federal Congress, nor ths President of the Union. If slavery is the cause of the rebellion" why did it not produce It before', during the three quarters of a century which-, the government existed 7 It is clear that slavery ia not the cause of the trouble, but the fanatical disposition at the North to meddle with it. It is playing -the part of a busybody in other men's matters that has intro duced the wedge which I as split the Union. In one word, it is abolitionism. For the last thirty years it has waged a crusade against the institu tion of slavery, and its leaders have frequently declared that they preferred its abolition ta the continuance of the Union, and that is their sentiment to-day. By their violence and their pro-paganism they have supplied the ground on which the insurgent chieftains have erected the fabric of secession, and bat for the abolitionists the Southern leaders of the rebellion never could have succeeded. Nor will the insurrection be ever put down till abolitionism is cut up root and branch. The Abolitionists are as much rebels in heart and as much disaffected to the Uniou and the constitution as the Southern sesetsionists. . Not only are they the notorious cause of the dismemberment of the Union, but the main hindrance to its restoration.. Their organs assail the government either openly or covertly, prematurely disclose its plaos, and endeavor to force it into dangerous steps by bringing partyclamor to bear against it; aad they even encourage insubordination to the suDreme power. A short time ago one of these journals proposed to supersede the President by a revolution, and appoint ueorge uv ia nis stead by an insurgent mob. Now several, of them again propose to supersede the President and place high above him in authority one of bis own generals. Fremont, at St. Louis, of his own mere motion, and Without the sanction of the President . issues an ill-advised proclamation, which carried out the ideas of the obolitiomsts, jnstified the charges of the secessionists against Air, Lincoln s government, ana ignored auxe tae law of Congress and the existence of the Chief Maristrative at Washington. It was a highhand ed act of insubordination, and the Tribune and other abolition journals sustain him in it, aud censure the President for mildly insisting on the adherence of his subordinate to the letter and spirit of the law of Congress, which the Presi-dewt ia bound to carry out in pursuance of his oath. - . ' ' " : The proclamation of Mr. Fremont was a piece of dictatorship akin to the mutiny and insubordination io California, for which he was tried by court martial and found guilty, in the Mexican war. He was sentenced to death, but saved by the influence of bis father in-law. His recent act is far more reprehensible, because involving more serious consequences. The President only administers a gentle rebuke, but at the same time asserts his own authority, and proclaims that neither General Fremont nor any other general ahall transcend the law of Congress : that no slave shaTl be set free by the authority of a general under any circumstances ; that no slaves, even of rebels in arms, shall bi ' seized hy any general n a leas those slaves axe proved to nave been need in military operations of toe enemy. and that whatever slaves are justly captured shall be held to the end of the war. It was fortunate, ia one secse, that ' General Fremont gave the President an opportunity of no bly coming out before the country as be has done. His letter no longer leaves any doubt of the design of the government in the prosecution of the war, and it has saved Kentucky to the Union. The Preaident, it is true, hss given mortal offence to the abolitionists, and they will never for- pivehim in this world or the world to come. But hs has made millions of friends, white he has lost sofve h undreds of fanatical followers, whose nottort was onlv conditional. The offence should come some time, and the sooner the hei fer. The course of lbs President has knocked f.i- - V I 1 . :, k.a mmmnA lh A DO U 11 on Lb UJ n tni oeau, uui i u country and prevented the war from degenerating into Mexican anarchy.

In the North, too, it would paraiyxe vne arm the government, nod deprire the war of that general and enthusiastic support whicb is essential to its success. . . "- It is as imporUnt, therefore, Tor the government to rint a ston'to the rebellions course of the abolitionists as to seize secession sympathisers. Tbev are both equally the enemies of the admin istration.

The next shot at five hundred yards hit fair, and also made a dent about one inch deep, starting the bolts. Next they came up to three hundred yards distance, and the effect on the iron was the aama each time, a deep indentation being made, but not a crack or airn of breaking. Now the party said they would see if one could be put through so the iron target was set np straight, or a Iittls leaning towards the gon, which was placed only one hundred yards off. All said it must go through. The ball hit fair in the centre, knocking, the target around out of its place, and shattering the ball in a thousand fragments, many pieces dying back to the gun. - It was now de termined unsafe to try it at a shorter range. Is being decided by Capt Rodgers. and all tssds present that the iron reaisted beyond all expectations, and proved to be of a very superior quality, we gave it np that we eonld not put a ball through it, aod it was pronounced perfectly satisfactory. Trials of iron have been made ia Ea-gland on from four to ten inch plates, and belle have penetrated through, but it must be remembered that the English iron mostly, if net aH ef it, is "stonecoal iron" while the iron now being nsd for the gun boats building by Cepi. Jaa. B. Eads, is ef the very best American "ebarcoal iron." i his a ceo ud is, to a great extent, for the wonderful resistance of two aad a kali" lack thick plates. - This speaks well for the reputation of Gaylord, Son & Co's iron.
