Dauixi lSoTnTtoaai! EDITED BY L. HARPER, ; CoMnltinff the Ghosts ! ; It is said that Uncle Abe arid Uncle Abe's wife constantly consul t "the Spirits' in regard to temporal affairl. Now, if Uncle and Mrs. Abe could "call from tbe vasty deep" the "spi rits of just men made perfect," no one would have any objection. But as it is very obvious that Lincoln tt ux. can only hold communica tions through Abolition spirits, (and all such draw their inspiration from the devil), no good can grow out of such ghoetical manifestations We suspect that it is the spirit of old John Brown, the horse-thief and Harper's Ferry murderer, that enlightens the understanding of A. Lincoln & Co. The other day, it is said, Mrs. Lincoln had a. long consultation with " the spirits" in re gard to the result of the next Presidential elec tion ; the result of which was, that her lady smp was advised that she might prepare to " pack her trunks" for a trip to Springfield. 111., on the 4th of March next! We are decidedly of the opinion that that information came from an intelligent, truthful spirit, and be may relied upon. ' Disloyal" Abolitionists. John W." Forney, the " President's dog," says thai the German radicals, who support Fremont in preference to the Illinois joker, are a " disloyal" set of people, in all respects as bad as " Copperheads." It therefore appears to be a test of " loyalty" to favor there-election of Abraham ye First. According to this standard, fully one half the Abolition party are " disloyal," and deserve to be sent to Fort Lafayette.P. S. The " President's dog" is now begin-, ning to discover that the opposition to Lincoln is too formidable to be put down by the mad dogejy of "disloyalty," and he virtually admits that Lincoln is a " dead cock in the pit." We would'nt be the least astonished if Forney should come out for McClellan within the next three months. lie has a wonderful faculty for smelling the spoils of office afar off! We lipoe that " Little Mac" won't be burtheiied with such a monstrous load of political corruption as John W. Foruey. . ;-: Big Bores. The enterprising citizens of Chicago have determined upon the construction of a tunnel or canal, to run: under Lake Michigan, for the purpose, of bringing an abundant supply of frealv pura waUr into tha eity, iox public nae. Tbe tunnel is to 1 two miles in length. The water at present used is obtained from the Lake shore, immediately adjoining' the city, where an hundred sewers pour their filth into the Lake. The New Yorkers a.re about to engage in a bigger bore than the above." They propose to construct an " Under-ground Railroad," the entire length of Broadway, for the purpose of carrying passengers, from the upper to the lower part of the city. ".. Thej haTe also a "project on foot to run a number of tunnels under East river, to counect New. York with Brooklyn, similar to the tunnel under the River Thames at London, These tunnels are to be lighted with gas, with double tracks, and regular pas senger cars. Army Coffee. The recent experiment by a Brigade Com- mieaiary in the Army of the Potomac revealed the fact that in the ground coffee furnished to soldiers, there was a large admixture of pul verized glass. One barrel charged as one hun dred and sixty pounds of coffee was found to contain ten pounds of glass. Thus, the con tractor swindled tbe soldier and the Govern ment out of four dollars, receiving forty cents per pound tor fractured window panes. It would be well for soldiers to grind their own coffeee, and reserve the privilege of buying their own glass. Washington Letter to Cincinnati Commercial. 57 The infamons scoundrels who are thus engaged in swindling the Government, robbing the people, and cheating the soldiers, by fur nishing them ground glass for coffee, are all intensely " loyal" men ; are in favor of a " vigorous prosecution of the war," and willing to "spend their last dollar and spill their last drop of blood," for the purpose of . " putting down the rebellion" so they say. For exposing and denouncing juat such nnhnng villians as these, the editor of the Banner has been called a "Copperhead!" a " rebel sympathiser," Ac, &c.t by the advocates of negro freedom and miscegenation. The He&d Deril of Abolitionism. By a dispatch from Washington we learn that George Thompson, the English Abolitionist, made a speech on Thursday night last, in tbe Ilall of the House of Representatives. Lincoln, Chase, Upsher and many: other Abolition dignltories, were present. Vice President Hamlin introduced him! He said the names Democrat and Copperhead should be crashed from the land. And at tbe mention of that sacred martyr, Old John . Brown, the audience applauded loudly, including President Lincoln.

He Bays that the question of slave labor and raising supplies has occupied a great share of the attention of Jeff. Davis and the leading men at the - South; and all its details have been systematized and planned out with far greater minuteness than he has been able to describe. In doing this, they have exercised a degree of foresight and sa gacity of which he sees no parallel among the men in power at the North. The Presidency. . The intelligent Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, under date of April 6th, writes : Presidential . matters are by no means forgotten. It is pretty generally con ceded, even by Peace Democrats, that General McClellan will be the nominee of the Chicago Convention. He is reearded as alreadv nomi- w er nated. Lincoln has the best chance for the nomination at Baltimore, though if the Con vention should be postponed, it is believed he will be defeated. It was from fear that Fre mont was making rapid headway on the Mon roe doctrine platform, that has bronght Lin coln to take the same ground. But a majority of the Republican House and Senate are oppo sed to his nomination. No man can be nom inated that the New York Tribune opposes, as the best part "of the Republican party take their politics from that sheet. Though Mr Chase has ; withdrawn from the. canvas, his friends yet believe he will be nominated at Baltimore. He will be the peace offering of the party. - ' Trpopa luruiilitd. 1J eArrnies.i In regard to ttte proportion or the boutliern people who have been withdrawn from productive pursuits since the beginning of the war, the facta show the number to be" far less than is generally supposed. The following statement, recently made in the rebel House of Representatives, by a member formerly known in political circles at the North, shows in round nnmberslthe number of men that hav been furnished to the rebel armies by the respective States fince the war began : Georgia, 51,000 ; Louisiana, 36,000 ; Mississippi, 40,000; North Carolina, 35,000; South Carolina, 25,000; Texas, 29.000 ; Virginia, 103,000; Arkansas, 28,000 ; Tennessee, 34,000; Kentucky and Maryland. 20,000 each ; Missouri, 35.000 total, 501,000. Massa Lincoln! We find the following elegant, classical, grammatical, chaste; polished, refined and graceful letter from the President of the United States, in the Little Rock (Arkansas,) Unconditional Union. Read it, ye admirers of Abraham Lincoln: Washington, February 18, 1864. To Wm. Eishback: - ; When I fixed a plan for an election in Arkansas I did it in ignorance that your Convention was at the same work. Since I learned the latter fact I have been constantly trying to yield my plan to theirs. I have sent two letters te General Steele and three or four dis patches to you and others, saying that he (General Steele) must be master, but that it will probably be best for, him to keep the Convention on its own plan. Some single: mind must be master, else there will be no agreement on any thing; and General Steele, Commanding the military, and 1eing on the grottnd, is the beat man to be that master. . Even now citizens are telegraphing me to postpone tbe election to a later day than either affixed by the Convention or me. This discord must be silenced. A. Lihcoum. . Jay Cooke & Co. . Secretary Chase, in a communication to the House, on the 6th inst says Jay. Cooke'em" ployed about twenty-four hundred aub-agents, for . whom he was : responsible, and secured subscriptions to (he loan to the amount of $362,000,000, without which' the army amt Davy creditors could not have been 'paid. Tbe cost of the loan was $1,000,000. amounting to less than three-tenths of 1 percent, or eighteen dajsVinterest on the whole amount, " The individual profits of Jay Cooke, grow ing out of this transaction, was the snug little sum of $443,000. : Of coarse this places his loyalty above suspicion' .'- ' V , ; .

This is the last petty fling at the newspapers, and at the intelligence of the people, except one. Let the House abolish the Common School system. This will be great economy ; and why should the people be taught to read at all, if they are to be kept in ignorance of the conduct of their public servants? Jackson county was swindled out of twenty thousand dollars, a few years ago, because the people had no means of knoiving what tbe Commissioners and Treasurer were doing.

': We all recollect that worthy citieen of Ath ens who banished Aristides solely beeanse it annoyed bim to hear the epithet, 4Hhe Just,v constantly coupled with bis name. We hare au oaen atrucK by this strange specimen 4 of political liberty, and by the lack f judgment I 4t : ..... in we application, it was ' not because this undue notoriety given to the nameof a citizen of the republic migh t after a time prove dangerous, not because the epithet of "just," was questionable, that the worthy citiren of Greece oanisiieu Aristides. lie would not even dis cuss the matter, the epithet annoyed him, and that was enough to ostracize its unfortunate bearer. In this way we see an excess of lib erty and a lack of political education. Now, we are annoyed and irritated at hear ing the words of Abraham Lincoln and honesty always coo pled together; but being more generous thanlbe excellent Athenian citizen aforesaid, we propose, before ostracising honest Abe from tbe White Honse, to consider his right to the surname of "Honest."" To can pne man tionest out of a population of thirty millions, is not so much of a compliment to him as a sarcasm upon all the rest. Let us look into his honesty and capability. AAer three years of patient silence we have a right, and it is moreover our duty, Mr. Lin-coin t to examine your-acts and show them to the nation. You commenced by confiding the fate of our cause, the honor of oar arms, and the lives of our sons to men having no higher claim to such trust than a host of voters at their command, whose support you core ted-in order to advance the welfare of the hation.-We have allowed you to further your political and personal interests,, and to transform into heroes inen whose inefficiency lias swallowed up thousands of lives and millions of treasure, so that you might be able to dazzle the eyes of the people with far more apparent than real. We have permitted yon to sacrifice tried patriots, whose popularity alarmed you, and whose energy disappointed your calculations. y , ' -; : ''' : ' " ', We have allowed you to deceive, the people, we have let you transform disgraceful defeats into victories; and even we made no outcry when you were reduced to beg exoneration for acta which have eternally disgraced the honor of our arms. You haye been unable either to fprsee or : forestall anything. What' has 'be-eomV oftfaV vi atfoti Ve ii th uioeat taWar ha.ta you done with the immense ; resources, unprecedented in history", that the nation has lav ishly given. yon I .' .

You.are to blame, inasmuch as throncrlv your incapacity and. personal schemes, the ne cessity Tor such an appeal has become a ques tion of public safety. You are to blame for deprivingus for the services of men whose popularity stimulated that enthusiasm.- 7" You have told the country that; both the rebellion and slavery were dead; you have told tbe people that the force of the rebels were reduced by desertions, and that they could not oerecruuea, lea, nor ciotneti; and yet yon are forced to act npon tha defensive. beihr threat ened at all points. . Whenever you have directed the action -of our troops, they have been uniformly unsuc cessful; you have , perpetually offeredT'us the wretched spectacle of splendid resources and excellent chances Of success sacrificed to incapacity. The only success which you came near attaining, but tbe'eredit of which weait -n i to take from you, is due to the incredible imaginativeness that you Ijaveisplayed in describing facts. Changes of base, masterly retreats, and reennnoiesances have succeeded each other with a rapidity worthy of the greatest showman of modern times. The immense variety of circumstances is only equaled by the identity of the resnlta. We have: " Mierman s reconnoissance. Smith's reconnoissahce.

It seems almost iocretlibla. Are we in Constantinople, in St. Petersbng. in Rome or io Paris ? Are we the descendants of those prond Saxons who refused, to euccumbjo any yoke, or the illegitimate of&priog of cardinals aeek-ing to secure fortune and grvatnew by a perpetual worship? Are we really Lntber and Calvin, who. rather than subject their reason to an authority which they despised, preferred to expatriate themselves to thoseshores. where through the agency of.liberty. they founded bur national greatness which you areaow striving to drown in a sea of cowardice and adulation; corruption and incompetency ? Were onr ancestors to-visit the earth, they would certainly be surprised to see that eighty years after tbe revolution which gave life and Iibertv to the nation the Lincoln party con Id find "no other definition of loyalty than a blind submission to the decrees of the govemm int. But we have exercised this blind and mute submission during three years; daring three years we have kept silent and what was more generous than silence? Some true radical patriot said -nt long since, "We have lost confidence in Premont. What has he done or said for a year past I" : What could.be do ? . What could he say ? He has done for yoq what Butler and Sigel hayedone; what we have all dona; bo has been charitable enough to keep silence, arid that ia more than he should have done. In the .face of so much incapability and corruption, p-triotism alonehaa kept us silent. Each time that a fresh defeat or a fresh concession to foreign powers brought an indignant exclamation to our Iipn, we restrained its utterrance. Ana yet have much grief, and love, and admiration, accompanied each hetacomb of these unknown heroes, martyrs to their country, who Lave fallen, through the incompetency -and the- cold and insatiable ambition of tbe men whose mission it was to lead pur on to victory but who being blinded by political considerations for: their personal advancement, led them only to a prfiotlesa death. And you have not displayed more talent or energy abroad. Napoleon haa trampled upon the rights of a friendly republic; be lias indolently notified us of a blockade of the Mexican coast, and thrown tht Monroe doctrine into our face. .' We ask. then, who ia master now in America, he who lays down the law, or be who submits to the same. Is it Napoleon tbe III; or the successor of Washington T God alone, by bestowiug npon the country inexhaustible natural wealth and that ardent patriotism which makes every soldier . hero, haa saved thecaunlrv from t?

Yon have dishonored us abroad by ehame'-less misrepresentations as to our true' condition.

Such none can only save the country. " ' ' Away with all the irnpostors who havo ' Invaded the temple of liberty, and turned it -into a vote market. Let there be an end of this ridiculous faree of unconditional loyaltv, which isonly lit to secure the' vote of th oae fools who instead of delving to the root of tbe nat ter blindly believe all the interested falsehoods published by journals that are paid to applaud and submit, whether right or wrong."
