HARPER. DEFERRED EDITORIALS. High-Handed Outrage. The offices of The World and Journal of Commerce,. in Ne w York, were closed on Wednesday night last, and the edit ors arrested and imprisoned, by orders of President Lincoln, through General Dix the offense being that that said papers, in common with all tbe morning daily papers of the city, had published a bogus Proclamation of President Lincoln, setting apart a day for fasting and prayer, and ordering a new draft for four hundred thousand more men. The bogus document was written on the usual paper and in the usual style of the press dispatches, and was left at all the daily offices at a late hour at night, after the editors had gone home. The fact that The World and Journal of Com merce were suppressed, while none of the' Abolition papers were disturbed, shows that the proceeding was a piece of mean political spite work. The fraud was perpetrated by outsiders, but the ' Administration, instead of ferreting out and punishing them, punishes the innocent victims, who published the Proclamation in good faith, supposing it to be genuine. But this act only adds another chapter to the great volume of outrages perpetrated by the imbecile, contemptible and despotic Administration at Washington. Since the foregoing was written and in type, the editors qf The World and Journal of Commerce have been re leased, and their papers allowed to be published as usual. A man named Howard, a New York newspaper reporter, has been arrested, and has confessed that he wrote the bogus Proclamation; that it was done to effect the prices of stocks and gold. The fellow seems to have imitated Old Abe's style in every respect with the exception of bad grammar. Brough! " Our army swore terribly in Flanders," quoth my Uncle Toby ; but the swearing of some of the Loyal Leaguers who were dragged from their homes and business by Governor Brough, and sent out of the State, has surpassed any thing in the way of profanity that was ever heard of. One of the Knox county Guards, is reported to have said in Columbus : "Iwould like to throw hell wide open, and place Brough upon an inclined plane, at an angle of forty-five degrees, grease the plank with hogs' lard six inches thick, and send him head long into the hottest part of the infernal regions." We are afraid this pious individual has been reading some of Parson Brownlow's writings. Up at Cleveland, when it was announced that Longstreet was shot, one of the Guards, who was starting to war under Brough 's bidding, remarked : " Would to God it was John Brough.' ' That same man voted for war, famine, miscegenation, Abolition Brough ! The Butavia County Sun says: One of the National Guards of our county, who has heretofore been noted for his abuse of the Democrats, and in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war, upon hearing that Brough had ordered him out for One hundred days, thus relieved himself with a violent oath : " I wish Abe Lincoln was in h I, and John Brough on the top of him, with Vallan-digham to hold them down." The Battle Ground ia Virginia. Spott8ylvania county, Virginia, the scene of the late terrible battles, ex tends from the Rappahannock river on the North to the North Anna river on the South. It is one of the best water ed counties in the State, a number of small rivers through it, the banks of which are strongly fortified by the reb els. - Spottejlrania Court House is : bout in the centre of the county, and immediately South of the Tillage is the river Po, wlikh, with the Mat and Ta rivers, form"the Jietapony, which is the J orth branch xt; York riyer.

Before all these are destroyed, and the rebel Capital is captured, there will be many bloody -battles fought. Items of Yankeedom Horal and Chris ; tian. ' " . . . A few evidences of the morals of the V hub of the Universe,' and of New En gland, we find in a late number of the Boston Journal. That our readers may know how "the world moves" in that Pharisaical, negro-equality country, we append them: A young medical student nataed Par ker, suddenly snapped the cord of life last Wednesday, rather than go to warl Several students of Harvard College, returning from a Ladies' Fair, in Cam-bridgeport, being drunk, set uporiafellow-student, who was enjoying the society of his lady-love, tct the residence of Mrs. Hardy, broke down the gate, threw stones at the windows, &c, and when Hon. Isaac Livermore attempted to put a stop to the disturbance they set upon him, breaking his leg and otherwise in juring him. Among these sprigs of no bility were the sons of " the Government," of Prof. Pierce, and Mr. Emery. Why is it that Bob Lincoln, and other sprigs of royalty don't go to war, where they can indulge their fighting propensities ? Let the White House occupants answer the question. The mother of an infant found in the barn yard of Mr. Lewis Boyden, in Wor cester, proves to be a girl named Elizabeth Glen, belonging in Boston, who had been in the city a short time with her sister. Marcus J. Cole committed suicide in Sandwich on Tuesday by shooting. He was 36 years old, recently from Connecticut, and leaves a wife and three children.'Philip Mc Cardie, a boy sixteen years of age, has been arrested for firing with a pistol at little girls, one of whom was seriously injured. He was arrrested, and held to bond in $1000. Wm. Willis killed a young lady, who had promised to marry him, and married another chap. ". Wm. SUaw and his w4fe, died from having been poisoned. . John II. Stearns was arrested for stealing $105 of groceries from Mcintosh & Richardson's store. Toseph Twombly robbed Mr. Haywood of $500, while in the cars going to Worcester. Margaret Potter and Mary Sheedy were arrested for burglary. Patrick Toomey was arrested for assaulting Ann Looney, striking her in the face with a glass tumbler. FrankC' Scott was arrested for aiding deserters to escape T. Cloutman, a hack driver, was arrested for carrying away three deserters.An insane man named Shoals hung himself at Brattleboro' on Monday. Hiram II. Merrill of East Charleston committed suicide, on Friday last, by hanging himself. He was supposed to be partially deranged. Every day's issue brings forth like accounts of the way in which the pious puritans dispose of their talents. Rows, mobs, burglaries, assaults, batteries, larcenies, breaches of promise, thefts, infanticides, murders and suicides have become fearfully prevalent. Dissolute men and abandoned women follow in the wake of war and attend .upon shoddy and greenbacks ! 8ketch of General Sedgwick. General John Sedgwick, commander of , the Sixth Corps of the Army of the Potomac, who last his life in the skirmish at Spotteylvania Court House on Monday week, was a native of .Litchfield county, Connecticut, and graduated at West Point in 1837 r since when he has been constantly connected with the army.

He was a soldier by tastf as well as by profession ; and has during the war shown himseif equal to the , responsibilities of the several important positions to which he has been called. How Loyal Americans Talk in Europe. -The Paris correspondent of the New York Times writes as follows: " There is one item that will surprise you, and that it the way in which prominent Americans Federal or loyal Americans, I mean are beginning to talk about the war. Not having the fear of Mr. Speaker Colfax, or the majority of the House of Representatives, before their eyes, they are gravely discussing what ought to be done, if the campaign in Virginia should prpve a failure. Of course they hope, and perhaps, I ought to say believe, that Oreneral Grant will take Richmond, and drive General Lee out of Virginia ; but in Case he should not accomplish this, they talk my very pen almost refuses to write the words they talk of peace I They even dis cuss conditions and boundaries. They speculate on the financial needs of the South, and the possibility of establish ing-aZolverain. I need not shock your loyal readers by any further details, but if a such a view of American affairs is taken by prominent and supposed loyal Americans in London and Paris, i t is easy to see what is Jikely to be the effect upon Governments strongly predisposed to look for such a settlement, and ready at the first opportunity J;o press it upon the Federal Government. The Wounded at Fredericksburg. Fifteen thousand wounded in the streets of Fredericksburg ! Fifteen thousand of our countrymen, mangled, torn and bleeding, crowded in the open streets of Fredericksburg, helpless, shelterless, dying for want of adequate attendance ! Packed so thickly together upon the pavements, that the guards cannot patrol the city, lest, however cautiously they tread, they trample upon the poor multilated victims ! So says the dispatches. What volumes of horror are in that brief telegram ! Fifteen thousand! Does the reader realize how many -that Jjnay be ? It is but rarely that we see so many assembled at our largrst public meetings. We see them then alive, unhurt, buoyant in spirits, and full of health and vigor.- Yet, even then, to see so many human beings congregated suggests a theme for serious thought. Think of such an assemblage prostrated by some terrible agency of destruction. Look at them stretched upon the hard ground, writh ing in agony, tormented with thirst, the thick blood oozing trom their unten- ded wounds, at every moment the death- rattle heard and a corpse . among the living. And for each one of the fifteen thousand how many loving hearts are aching with suspense! How many homes will be inane desolate as one al ter the other perishes ! How many mothers, wives and daughters would eagerly hasten to the blood-stained streets of Fredericksburg, to nurse some wounded son, or husband or brother, or to close his eyes in death ! " Yet they he there, huddled together as we heap the fishes from the net, the hot sun blazing upon them, or the chill rain drenching them, or the night wind sighing a. requiem for the dead and re minding the dying of the soft voices of their homes. And that is war. And by these horrors men in their frenzy hope to rejoin the sundered bond of love. N. Y. Newt. . Anna Dickinson on Old Abe. Miss Anna Dickinson, in a speech, at Boston on the 27th ult, refered to Old Abe as follows : "Miss Dickinson proceeded to ridi-icule the Presidential person -his figure his dress his old coat, out at the elbows, which looks ; as though he had worn it three years and used it as a penwiperhis stockings, limp and soiled. In her interview with him he said to her, They tell me you are on my side, I want to know how it is.' The conversation proceeded. She told . him what was in her thoughts and plead for justice for the negro- The President answered her with, That remin ds me of a little store i I didn't ries, replied the maiden fair, but irate. v-W 1 - - a. -A. ' . a JI A can reaa oeiier ones m the pape any day than you can . tell mel This shut the tall joker up. He showed her his correspondence with Banks, and that's how she knew Banks acted under orders of the government. Mr. Lincoln asked her what she thought of the plans of reconstruction in Louisiana She renlied. 4Sirl I think it all vrnricr? as radically bad as can be. The President them palavered her,sugar-plm-med her,' to use Miss D.'s own phrase, -" a- a -.- ' w . - -r-teiung ner sne coma talk fetter ,than he, and sojfotth ; and . he , rem4rked; ' n concluding the conversation, All-Lean sar is. if the radicals w&ht 'm n iaA let them get out df the .way and let 'me leaa e94id thit', 'a M., Ifiame(mt.,nd remarked ;to,!a inena i nave spcxen my last word to President Jiinco ;ff .wist Sabfcribe tor tha Banner. ,?: 4-:: Brough. on Horseback. John Brough, Governor of Ohio avoirdupois four hundred pounds has mounted his . war-horse and taken the field. Returning from his hobnobbing with the kitchen Cabinet at Washington,- big-with the talk of the Capitol and flushed with the odors and wine of the Presidential pan try, he discharges a broadside of bombast, and relieves himself of a burden which threatened him with apoplexy, and his Abolition followers of a fright which seemed about to prove as fatal. He brought back with him the flavor of arbitrary insolence and brutal despotism which now prevails at that, the most despicable and depraved court in the world. He seems to have fallen in with the court easily enough, and become a great man by representing that one-half of the peo ple ne governs were traitors, and the other half fools. He wanted martial law proclaimed in Ohio, that he and his party might with unchallenged recklessness lord it over his political opponents, and oppress the unlicensed severity : he failed in getting the civil laws abro gated, but by his personal exertions he had an extraordinary draft made upon the people of Ohio at a time when the State is least prepared to transport her laborers, and sacrifice her productive wealth. In his proclamation, printed yesterday, he assumes the glory of hav ing done all this himself and revels in the distress he has occasioned like - an indian chief drunk on hesh-heesh. The idea that he has called thirty thousand men from their usual avocations at the expense of their farms which are forfeited by neglect, at the sorrow of helpless by the absence of their protectors, " at the hazard of destroying vast crops which" are of necessity abandoned, seems to have filled him; with ungovernable pride and bloated him with bombastic importance, like unto the realization of the fable of a toad inflated to the size of a bull. . When it was announced that three North-western Governors, Brough, Mor- ton xates, were in counci, it was impressed upon the public mind that the meeting boded no good to their constituents., The character of the men and the dogmas they held their treachery, their subserviency to the Federal Administration, their contempt for the honor of their States and the rights of the people, warned the well informed of the impending danger not to the enemies of the Go vernment by whom they admired -but to the people of the States they govern. The result more than realizes - tf - aa . the welcome foreboding. The result of this treacherous conclave is the calling out of the malitia in Ohio, and the consequent paralizati on of her industrial interests. In Ohio three thousand farms are left without a man to attend them ten thousand fields are left to wither for want of hands to cultivate them, this, too, at the very season when every working man in the State is required at home. These men were not required by the President ; they were not asked for by the War Department ; they were not in justice due to the Federal Government, a ' yv 1 - 1 I s : ior unio nas already iurnisned more inen for the army than any State in the Union. Compared with the petted and pampered S tates of New England she nas iurnisnea a Drigaae to tneir corpor al s guard. The blood of Ohio men has been shed in every battle from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, her children have been sacrificed in scattered raids and stupid battles ; they have been frit tered away in .Presidential schemes, and cotton stealing; expeditions which have resulted in nothing more than increas- ,iug tuc uiuuu-tstameu greenoacics in tne pockets of thieves and speculators, who rob the soldier and oppress the people. Instead of demanding by what right his people were -tnus sacrificed by incompetent commanders, poised by contractors, and demoralized by barbarous and wicked political schemes, the recreant Governor of Ohio creeps in the dust to the feet of the Federal Tycoon, and in order to gain favor with him sycophan-ticly offers thirty thousand more of his people to the slaughter. From the dig nity of being the head of two millions of freemen, John Brough has degraded the office of Governor to the status of a servile panderer ; slave and satrap to a distant official, who by his own 'proclamation is a despot.. .. This is one feature of the conspiracy jifagainst the people. There is another equally; terrible ; and discracefuL Knowing thai he militia of this State is a partisan organization many wondered at the first maneuver in the drama." Did Brough really intend to send his party friends to lhe battle field t JLo-fe.W-believed it. He has no such purpose. 'In his bombastie proclamation he shows the sham by intimating that the ' men aro to be used to "put down-' and kept downV the: Democracy. The leaders of the abolition fury of the. . day; are prepared to turn an armed.forQe uponan ,unarnied, defense-lesa j ana jjnoifeBsive people of the States ' iGovernor-'Mortoir, of Indiana!, in a gpeech a feirdajrs ago, rbclainted it, in. plainer language thanrough iaa. .We. are pyotbunoly impressed with "jthe belief that these naen eontcinplatev not orilytheverthxbw but the slaughter of orielCalf of the peo ple of the States. After the militia has assembled,5 and is found, politically, all right, Governor Brough telegraphs to the War Department his recommendation, couched in strong language, that this militia has been exempted foom the conscription in in order that more Democrats may be drafted. This-is the real point in the whole affair. Brough will keep his militia to enforce the conscription upon Democrats. The scheme Was doubtless prepared and arranged at Washington before the satraps left their master's Capitol, but a few days will develop it more clearly, and to time it may be left. Brough is on horseback, booted and spurred for a campaign, the beginning of which may look promising enough; the end thereof rests with the uncertain future. Statesman. NEGRO QUESTION. . - From the Louisville Democrat. . There are some things that the higher or lower law can't manage. There are natural necessities more conclusive than military necessities. The negro question is one of them. Power enough can release the negro from his master; but power can't make the negro a white man. After emancipation, if the negro has capacity to sustain himself amongst white men, by whom he will be surrounded, then there would be a success; but j the experiment of a generation willhar-dly settle the question. So far the negro has suffered the worst of calamities ! under the process. He is enticed or forced into the armies to fight for a government that has not been his, ' and in which he must take a subordinate place, if the history of the past -is to be any guide. He must risk his life and shed his blood at the instigation of the white man, who will only regard him as a negro after his service. Ihus hundreds of thousands have been induced from comfortable homes to suf fer all sorts of destitution; to perish of hunger and disease. i The details of these things are shocking were it not that they are negroes, and the " uproar amongst white men throws all the passive suffering and misery of the negro into the back groud. After a generation of suffering, we are told that they, will do better. ; In passing from slavery to freedom they must suffer, but their position at last will compensate for it all. ' Almighty God may require martyrdom of man, for He controls all things at present and to come; but who has given to man the authority to martyrize one generation for the good of posterity? We understand that a man may of his own choice make a martyr of himself from his own sense of duty, or for the benefit of others; but we have never heard that it was right to impose martyrdom on another. It is not ours to sacrifice this gener ation of negroes to benefit the next. The future destiny of the race is not in our hands. We have no more right to promise the negro that he will better the condition of his race by following our counsel, than the Devil had to promise all the kingdoms of the world for service to himself. We can only guess what a change of the status of the negro will produce on his fate. It is certain that the transfer of the negro to this country has been a great blessing to the race. The discipline of slavery has elevated him in the state of being, so that after its operations for generations, the race is now far superior to what it ever has been in the world. The fact of their rapid increase shows that they enjoy a full share of the comiorts ot tms me. xt remains to be proved that he can live, improve and multiply under any other system. Emancipate the negro, and one of these results will follow : He will maintain himself in competition with white men, or he will perish under that competition; or he will fall back into a system simi lar to the one from which the white man tried to drag him. ' The first, emancipation zealots begin to see is impossible ; at - any" rate just now. The second might happen but for the white man s interest. The negro can be made useful, and, therefore, he will be cared for ;- and hence we conclude that, in spite of higher laws or lower laws managed by man, after this cruel and bloody experiment is over,-the negro will be the servant o'f the white man ; to he ' employed and taken care of by the latter just as he has been. Right or wrong, as Abraham Lincoln says," there will be the end Of it. - S .' . '. .

HARPER. DEFERRED EDITORIALS. High-Handed Outrage. The offices of The World and Journal of Commerce,. in Ne w York, were closed on Wednesday night last, and the edit ors arrested and imprisoned, by orders of President Lincoln, through General Dix the offense being that that said papers, in common with all tbe morning daily papers of the city, had published a bogus Proclamation of President Lincoln, setting apart a day for fasting and prayer, and ordering a new draft for four hundred thousand more men. The bogus document was written on the usual paper and in the usual style of the press dispatches, and was left at all the daily offices at a late hour at night, after the editors had gone home. The fact that The World and Journal of Com merce were suppressed, while none of the' Abolition papers were disturbed, shows that the proceeding was a piece of mean political spite work. The fraud was perpetrated by outsiders, but the ' Administration, instead of ferreting out and punishing them, punishes the innocent victims, who published the Proclamation in good faith, supposing it to be genuine. But this act only adds another chapter to the great volume of outrages perpetrated by the imbecile, contemptible and despotic Administration at Washington. Since the foregoing was written and in type, the editors qf The World and Journal of Commerce have been re leased, and their papers allowed to be published as usual. A man named Howard, a New York newspaper reporter, has been arrested, and has confessed that he wrote the bogus Proclamation; that it was done to effect the prices of stocks and gold. The fellow seems to have imitated Old Abe's style in every respect with the exception of bad grammar. Brough! " Our army swore terribly in Flanders," quoth my Uncle Toby ; but the swearing of some of the Loyal Leaguers who were dragged from their homes and business by Governor Brough, and sent out of the State, has surpassed any thing in the way of profanity that was ever heard of. One of the Knox county Guards, is reported to have said in Columbus : "Iwould like to throw hell wide open, and place Brough upon an inclined plane, at an angle of forty-five degrees, grease the plank with hogs' lard six inches thick, and send him head long into the hottest part of the infernal regions." We are afraid this pious individual has been reading some of Parson Brownlow's writings. Up at Cleveland, when it was announced that Longstreet was shot, one of the Guards, who was starting to war under Brough 's bidding, remarked : " Would to God it was John Brough.' ' That same man voted for war, famine, miscegenation, Abolition Brough ! The Butavia County Sun says: One of the National Guards of our county, who has heretofore been noted for his abuse of the Democrats, and in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war, upon hearing that Brough had ordered him out for One hundred days, thus relieved himself with a violent oath : " I wish Abe Lincoln was in h I, and John Brough on the top of him, with Vallan-digham to hold them down." The Battle Ground ia Virginia. Spott8ylvania county, Virginia, the scene of the late terrible battles, ex tends from the Rappahannock river on the North to the North Anna river on the South. It is one of the best water ed counties in the State, a number of small rivers through it, the banks of which are strongly fortified by the reb els. - Spottejlrania Court House is : bout in the centre of the county, and immediately South of the Tillage is the river Po, wlikh, with the Mat and Ta rivers, form"the Jietapony, which is the J orth branch xt; York riyer.

Before all these are destroyed, and the rebel Capital is captured, there will be many bloody -battles fought. Items of Yankeedom Horal and Chris ; tian. ' " . . . A few evidences of the morals of the V hub of the Universe,' and of New En gland, we find in a late number of the Boston Journal. That our readers may know how "the world moves" in that Pharisaical, negro-equality country, we append them: A young medical student nataed Par ker, suddenly snapped the cord of life last Wednesday, rather than go to warl Several students of Harvard College, returning from a Ladies' Fair, in Cam-bridgeport, being drunk, set uporiafellow-student, who was enjoying the society of his lady-love, tct the residence of Mrs. Hardy, broke down the gate, threw stones at the windows, &c, and when Hon. Isaac Livermore attempted to put a stop to the disturbance they set upon him, breaking his leg and otherwise in juring him. Among these sprigs of no bility were the sons of " the Government," of Prof. Pierce, and Mr. Emery. Why is it that Bob Lincoln, and other sprigs of royalty don't go to war, where they can indulge their fighting propensities ? Let the White House occupants answer the question. The mother of an infant found in the barn yard of Mr. Lewis Boyden, in Wor cester, proves to be a girl named Elizabeth Glen, belonging in Boston, who had been in the city a short time with her sister. Marcus J. Cole committed suicide in Sandwich on Tuesday by shooting. He was 36 years old, recently from Connecticut, and leaves a wife and three children.'Philip Mc Cardie, a boy sixteen years of age, has been arrested for firing with a pistol at little girls, one of whom was seriously injured. He was arrrested, and held to bond in $1000. Wm. Willis killed a young lady, who had promised to marry him, and married another chap. ". Wm. SUaw and his w4fe, died from having been poisoned. . John II. Stearns was arrested for stealing $105 of groceries from Mcintosh & Richardson's store. Toseph Twombly robbed Mr. Haywood of $500, while in the cars going to Worcester. Margaret Potter and Mary Sheedy were arrested for burglary. Patrick Toomey was arrested for assaulting Ann Looney, striking her in the face with a glass tumbler. FrankC' Scott was arrested for aiding deserters to escape T. Cloutman, a hack driver, was arrested for carrying away three deserters.An insane man named Shoals hung himself at Brattleboro' on Monday. Hiram II. Merrill of East Charleston committed suicide, on Friday last, by hanging himself. He was supposed to be partially deranged. Every day's issue brings forth like accounts of the way in which the pious puritans dispose of their talents. Rows, mobs, burglaries, assaults, batteries, larcenies, breaches of promise, thefts, infanticides, murders and suicides have become fearfully prevalent. Dissolute men and abandoned women follow in the wake of war and attend .upon shoddy and greenbacks ! 8ketch of General Sedgwick. General John Sedgwick, commander of , the Sixth Corps of the Army of the Potomac, who last his life in the skirmish at Spotteylvania Court House on Monday week, was a native of .Litchfield county, Connecticut, and graduated at West Point in 1837 r since when he has been constantly connected with the army.

How Loyal Americans Talk in Europe. -The Paris correspondent of the New York Times writes as follows: " There is one item that will surprise you, and that it the way in which prominent Americans Federal or loyal Americans, I mean are beginning to talk about the war. Not having the fear of Mr. Speaker Colfax, or the majority of the House of Representatives, before their eyes, they are gravely discussing what ought to be done, if the campaign in Virginia should prpve a failure. Of course they hope, and perhaps, I ought to say believe, that Oreneral Grant will take Richmond, and drive General Lee out of Virginia ; but in Case he should not accomplish this, they talk my very pen almost refuses to write the words they talk of peace I They even dis cuss conditions and boundaries. They speculate on the financial needs of the South, and the possibility of establish ing-aZolverain. I need not shock your loyal readers by any further details, but if a such a view of American affairs is taken by prominent and supposed loyal Americans in London and Paris, i t is easy to see what is Jikely to be the effect upon Governments strongly predisposed to look for such a settlement, and ready at the first opportunity J;o press it upon the Federal Government. The Wounded at Fredericksburg. Fifteen thousand wounded in the streets of Fredericksburg ! Fifteen thousand of our countrymen, mangled, torn and bleeding, crowded in the open streets of Fredericksburg, helpless, shelterless, dying for want of adequate attendance ! Packed so thickly together upon the pavements, that the guards cannot patrol the city, lest, however cautiously they tread, they trample upon the poor multilated victims ! So says the dispatches. What volumes of horror are in that brief telegram ! Fifteen thousand! Does the reader realize how many -that Jjnay be ? It is but rarely that we see so many assembled at our largrst public meetings. We see them then alive, unhurt, buoyant in spirits, and full of health and vigor.- Yet, even then, to see so many human beings congregated suggests a theme for serious thought. Think of such an assemblage prostrated by some terrible agency of destruction. Look at them stretched upon the hard ground, writh ing in agony, tormented with thirst, the thick blood oozing trom their unten- ded wounds, at every moment the death- rattle heard and a corpse . among the living. And for each one of the fifteen thousand how many loving hearts are aching with suspense! How many homes will be inane desolate as one al ter the other perishes ! How many mothers, wives and daughters would eagerly hasten to the blood-stained streets of Fredericksburg, to nurse some wounded son, or husband or brother, or to close his eyes in death ! " Yet they he there, huddled together as we heap the fishes from the net, the hot sun blazing upon them, or the chill rain drenching them, or the night wind sighing a. requiem for the dead and re minding the dying of the soft voices of their homes. And that is war. And by these horrors men in their frenzy hope to rejoin the sundered bond of love. N. Y. Newt. . Anna Dickinson on Old Abe. Miss Anna Dickinson, in a speech, at Boston on the 27th ult, refered to Old Abe as follows : "Miss Dickinson proceeded to ridi-icule the Presidential person -his figure his dress his old coat, out at the elbows, which looks ; as though he had worn it three years and used it as a penwiperhis stockings, limp and soiled. In her interview with him he said to her, They tell me you are on my side, I want to know how it is.' The conversation proceeded. She told . him what was in her thoughts and plead for justice for the negro- The President answered her with, That remin ds me of a little store i I didn't ries, replied the maiden fair, but irate. v-W 1 - - a. -A.

John Brough, Governor of Ohio avoirdupois four hundred pounds has mounted his . war-horse and taken the field. Returning from his hobnobbing with the kitchen Cabinet at Washington,- big-with the talk of the Capitol and flushed with the odors and wine of the Presidential pan try, he discharges a broadside of bombast, and relieves himself of a burden which threatened him with apoplexy, and his Abolition followers of a fright which seemed about to prove as fatal. He brought back with him the flavor of arbitrary insolence and brutal despotism which now prevails at that, the most despicable and depraved court in the world. He seems to have fallen in with the court easily enough, and become a great man by representing that one-half of the peo ple ne governs were traitors, and the other half fools. He wanted martial law proclaimed in Ohio, that he and his party might with unchallenged recklessness lord it over his political opponents, and oppress the unlicensed severity : he failed in getting the civil laws abro gated, but by his personal exertions he had an extraordinary draft made upon the people of Ohio at a time when the State is least prepared to transport her laborers, and sacrifice her productive wealth. In his proclamation, printed yesterday, he assumes the glory of hav ing done all this himself and revels in the distress he has occasioned like - an indian chief drunk on hesh-heesh. The idea that he has called thirty thousand men from their usual avocations at the expense of their farms which are forfeited by neglect, at the sorrow of helpless by the absence of their protectors, " at the hazard of destroying vast crops which" are of necessity abandoned, seems to have filled him; with ungovernable pride and bloated him with bombastic importance, like unto the realization of the fable of a toad inflated to the size of a bull. . When it was announced that three North-western Governors, Brough, Mor- ton xates, were in counci, it was impressed upon the public mind that the meeting boded no good to their constituents., The character of the men and the dogmas they held their treachery, their subserviency to the Federal Administration, their contempt for the honor of their States and the rights of the people, warned the well informed of the impending danger not to the enemies of the Go vernment by whom they admired -but to the people of the States they govern. The result more than realizes - tf - aa . the welcome foreboding. The result of this treacherous conclave is the calling out of the malitia in Ohio, and the consequent paralizati on of her industrial interests. In Ohio three thousand farms are left without a man to attend them ten thousand fields are left to wither for want of hands to cultivate them, this, too, at the very season when every working man in the State is required at home. These men were not required by the President ; they were not asked for by the War Department ; they were not in justice due to the Federal Government, a ' yv 1 - 1 I s : ior unio nas already iurnisned more inen for the army than any State in the Union. Compared with the petted and pampered S tates of New England she nas iurnisnea a Drigaae to tneir corpor al s guard. The blood of Ohio men has been shed in every battle from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, her children have been sacrificed in scattered raids and stupid battles ; they have been frit tered away in .Presidential schemes, and cotton stealing; expeditions which have resulted in nothing more than increas- ,iug tuc uiuuu-tstameu greenoacics in tne pockets of thieves and speculators, who rob the soldier and oppress the people. Instead of demanding by what right his people were -tnus sacrificed by incompetent commanders, poised by contractors, and demoralized by barbarous and wicked political schemes, the recreant Governor of Ohio creeps in the dust to the feet of the Federal Tycoon, and in order to gain favor with him sycophan-ticly offers thirty thousand more of his people to the slaughter. From the dig nity of being the head of two millions of freemen, John Brough has degraded the office of Governor to the status of a servile panderer ; slave and satrap to a distant official, who by his own 'proclamation is a despot.. .. This is one feature of the conspiracy jifagainst the people. There is another equally; terrible ; and discracefuL Knowing thai he militia of this State is a partisan organization many wondered at the first maneuver in the drama." Did Brough really intend to send his party friends to lhe battle field t JLo-fe.W-believed it. He has no such purpose. 'In his bombastie proclamation he shows the sham by intimating that the ' men aro to be used to "put down-' and kept downV the: Democracy. The leaders of the abolition fury of the. . day; are prepared to turn an armed.forQe uponan ,unarnied, defense-lesa j ana jjnoifeBsive people of the States ' iGovernor-'Mortoir, of Indiana!, in a gpeech a feirdajrs ago, rbclainted it, in. plainer language thanrough iaa. .We. are pyotbunoly impressed with "jthe belief that these naen eontcinplatev not orilytheverthxbw but the slaughter of orielCalf of the peo ple of the States. After the militia has assembled,5 and is found, politically, all right, Governor Brough telegraphs to the War Department his recommendation, couched in strong language, that this militia has been exempted foom the conscription in in order that more Democrats may be drafted. This-is the real point in the whole affair. Brough will keep his militia to enforce the conscription upon Democrats. The scheme Was doubtless prepared and arranged at Washington before the satraps left their master's Capitol, but a few days will develop it more clearly, and to time it may be left. Brough is on horseback, booted and spurred for a campaign, the beginning of which may look promising enough; the end thereof rests with the uncertain future. Statesman. NEGRO QUESTION. . - From the Louisville Democrat. . There are some things that the higher or lower law can't manage. There are natural necessities more conclusive than military necessities. The negro question is one of them. Power enough can release the negro from his master; but power can't make the negro a white man. After emancipation, if the negro has capacity to sustain himself amongst white men, by whom he will be surrounded, then there would be a success; but j the experiment of a generation willhar-dly settle the question. So far the negro has suffered the worst of calamities ! under the process. He is enticed or forced into the armies to fight for a government that has not been his, ' and in which he must take a subordinate place, if the history of the past -is to be any guide. He must risk his life and shed his blood at the instigation of the white man, who will only regard him as a negro after his service. Ihus hundreds of thousands have been induced from comfortable homes to suf fer all sorts of destitution; to perish of hunger and disease. i The details of these things are shocking were it not that they are negroes, and the " uproar amongst white men throws all the passive suffering and misery of the negro into the back groud. After a generation of suffering, we are told that they, will do better. ; In passing from slavery to freedom they must suffer, but their position at last will compensate for it all. ' Almighty God may require martyrdom of man, for He controls all things at present and to come; but who has given to man the authority to martyrize one generation for the good of posterity? We understand that a man may of his own choice make a martyr of himself from his own sense of duty, or for the benefit of others; but we have never heard that it was right to impose martyrdom on another. It is not ours to sacrifice this gener ation of negroes to benefit the next. The future destiny of the race is not in our hands. We have no more right to promise the negro that he will better the condition of his race by following our counsel, than the Devil had to promise all the kingdoms of the world for service to himself. We can only guess what a change of the status of the negro will produce on his fate. It is certain that the transfer of the negro to this country has been a great blessing to the race. The discipline of slavery has elevated him in the state of being, so that after its operations for generations, the race is now far superior to what it ever has been in the world.
