Or through the dark of the a'erhanging cloud
Look wistfully for right?   Who would not groan
Beneath his daily task, and weep aloud?

And gaze with, trustful cheer Into our eyes;

Upraised to strike, and woman may atone.

THlBi TEST OP LOYALTY.
The debauebmeut ot public Opinion by the fanatical teachers of the day is swiftly leading to
civil war in the loyal States. When the people of
airy Government are prepared to receive the
dogma tbat loyalty is due to men rather than
principles they are fit instruments for slavery.
It is amusing tbat the doctrines taught by tbe
first Charles of England should now be reviewed
and inculcated by tbe entire press supporting
President Lincoln's administration. The despotism claimed for the President is more absolute
than ihe assertion of kingly power by Charles I.
at the commencement of bis reign ; and the test
of loyally submitted by.the iusolence of abolitionism, rests upon precisely tbe same base as the
allegiance claimed by Charles before his first open
rupture with Parliament. He asserted himself to
be tbe.government—the source ol authority and
power. The doctrine that the King could do no
wrong covered not only himself but bis Ministers^
He was the Judge of tbe necessities tbat might
suspend the action, of Judges, determine the imposition of taxes, tbe prorogation of parliaments,
the suspension of habeas corpus, the arbitrary imprisonment of citizens, and farming of the revenues of tbe realm. It is now an axiom of tbe
British Government tbat the King can do no
wrong, but Ibe haughty pride of the British Ministry has learued to bow humbly before a free peo"
pie that bo Id tbe counsellors of tbe sovereign responsible for all wrong committed in tbe name of
the crown.
The rule of loyalty now sought to be imposed
by the Administration and the fanatical press and
pulpit of the country ignores the Government entirely, and substitutes obedience to lhase temporarily charged with its conduct. The democratic
rule has ever been, and ever will be, '■ Our country, right or wrong." It never has been, aud
never will be, " the Administration, right or
wrong." Those who can perceive no difference
between tbe country and" tbe Administration may
be unable to understand the distinction—may be
uuable to understand lbat it is possible to denounce a weak and wicked administration without
being disloyal. If, after our practical experience
in tbe workings of Ibis government, it is necessary
to assert tbat there is aud can be no such thing as
disl 13 a <y to an administration, we had best follow
tbe example of Greece, and luvlte some beggarly
scion of royal Block to come and rule over us.
If Reverend Beecher's traitorous sentiment, that
" tbe constitution is only a dead sheepskin parchment, and the President', Cabinet aud Congress are
tbe Government," is attempted fo be enforced,
those who make the attt mpt bad best adjust their
earthly business preparatory to a start on a long
journey.
If the constitution is but a " dead sheepskin
parchmenl," the wealth of a millionaire is but a
piece of while paper written upon, and the executors may determine tor themselves, after having
been invested with possession, the disposition of
the property.
Uuder the constitution tbe administration has
been invested with tbe possession of the government—but is their government, and are Ihey at
liberty to trample under foot tbe solemn restrictions of tbe lathers, and filch irom the people
rights " tied by letters patent1' and sealed wilh
bio. d?
The traitors in the loyal States are not those
who have steadfastly endeavored to keep before
tbe minds of tbe people tbe great principles upon
which the government rests—are uot those who
have taught that the constiiution was a living,
active, ail-pervading, all-essential principle, possessing form and power, without wbicb (he government could not live, anymore than man can
live after the annihilation oi both poul and body—
any more than Christianity could live after the record of tbe Savior's life bad been obliterated from
the world aod his memory and teachings from tbe
minds of men—but those who have taught tbat
the constitution is a " dead sheepskin parchment''
—a "rotten festering corruption1'—who have
bailed our flag as a "flaunting lie"—who have
made obedience to the administration rather than
to the coastitution a test1 of loyalty—wbo have
said' that tli* Union as it was " should never curse
au honest people or blot the page of history again1'
—these are the traitors !
These are tbey wbo have made the blood of the
covenant (ihe covenant of the constitution, purchased with the blood of the fathers) an unholy
thing, and have brought disgrace, defeat aud
death to the nation.
True loyalty will submit to no sueh teste as are
required by sueh teachers, and persistence iu offering aud demanding them can only lead to greater
and more terrible complications than to-day
ih real en the existence of the government itself—
Chicago Times.
"The   Fiery   Aposllus"—The   London   Times
suggests   that  they  go to   the   front!
* * * America is, however, so fond of asking
advice and accepting the counsels of us English
tbat we will venture a suggestion as to how this
difficulty in getting some one to attempt the conquest of Richmond may be overcome. At ao early
stage of European history a similar difficulty occurred. In those days the problem was how to get
somebody to go forth in arms and recover toe
Holy Sepulchre. At first no one could be found.
-■ 11 sorts of natural jealousies and financial difficulties interfered ; and moreover, there was then,
as now, a deficiency ot boats. But Peter the Hermit was a sincere man arid a brave man, as well as
all eloqueut man. He scorned to preach a crnsade
which he was afraid to bead. He led the vast
multitude whom he had converted overland toward
Lhe object of his desires.
, Now,  if  Mr. Beecher Slowe  and Mr. Wendell
Phillips would   follow tbe example of Peter tbe
Hermit, we think we see a way for them dot of
iheir present  difficulties.   If tbey  would  gather
together uuder oue banner all tbe crowds wbo go
to hear aod applaud them wheu tbey preach extermination, and call for servile war, and chide the
sloth.of military commanders; and If they would
lead those multitudes themselves across tbe Potomac, and head tbem in  a  rush   upon  Richmond,
then  we  think  we can  see  with  certainty that
something great would happen—something worthy of fbdnY, and their humanity aud their courage.    Lacking, however, some testimony of zeal
such  as  this, we  are afraid we must wait, with
whatever impatience, while the tedious game of
war is being worked out by the slow technicalities
of miliiary art.   It is much to be feared that, unless the fi ry apostles of extermination  go  themselves to the front, whatever tbe Northern  press
may write, or tbe Northern pulpit may fulminate,
General Buruside aud General Lee will fi^ht their
battle at Fredericksburg when It shall please tbem,
aud how it shall please tbem, or not at all  if it
shall so please ibem, aod there is nothing left to
the American public bat the old alternative of
abusing aud continuing the Geueral   in command,
or in removing bim and substituting another, who
will continue to stand still in bis footsteps.— Lou
don'Timers, Dec. Vl.
Swindling Schkmk.—The large bounty offered
by Rhode Island for ber soldiers 1b attracting tha
attention of aclassof men who throng largo cities
waiting lor something to turn up. A German
from New. York named Lutz, it seems, obtained
leave to recruit a company lor tbe Second Cavalry, with an indefinite understanding that he was
to be captain. In the short space of ten days be
succeeded in raising in New York one hundred and
four men, mostly Germans, aod brought them on
to be sworn and mustered into the service us Rhode
Island soldiers, and received their bouuty. After
the company went into barracks here sundry suspicious oirtiumstaoces began to engage Major Hamlin's attention, and a series of adroit aod careful
invesligstious iusiituted by him resulted iu the con •
elusion that Luta had enlisleued most or all ol bis
men with the understanding that tbey should receive tbeir bouuties—53,000 from the general
government—aud then dissolve and desert, the officers aiding and abetting and deserting too. The
case became ao clear tbat on Saturday the whole
company were taken to Fort Adams oo the steamer Perry lo await further developments aod tho
uctiou of the authorities. The men were ignorant
of tbe real reason of tbeir embarkation, and most
of the company were secured. If they are troublesome there are one hundred and fifty regulars now
at tbe fort, who will be able to restrain their tur-
buleoce. As an evidence of tbe unscrupulous
character of Lutz and some of his men, We may
mention tbat in his company Is one man at least
wbo was unable to pass tbe surgeon. When Lutz
learned tbe fact he took another of bis soldiers, ar*
rayed him in citizen's clothes, and sent him to tbe
doctor witb a fictitious name. Tbe surgeon's certificate was thus obtained, and tbe rejected man
was directed to assume-the fictitious name—Providence Journal.
The Fiqht Betwbbv Stanton and Halleck.—
A gentleman direct1 from Washington informs
us tbat oo Saturday last there was au interchange
of civilities between Stanton und Halleck in tbe
White House. The Cabiuet was in session discuss1
iing the late slaughter at Fredericksburg, wheu
Stanton denied having anything to do iu advising
it. Hatteck replied that, bad not the Secretary of
War ordered the advance, it would not have been
made, wbeu Stautou called him a liar. Old Halleck immediately shot out his left fist at tbe frontispiece ot Stanton, handing bim one on the left
eye, which felled the burly Secretary to the floor,
frescoing: the left side of his " numan face divine''
in a most artistic manner. Stanton, although reputed good in a rough and tumble, couldn't Stand
the impetuosity of "Old Braine," and Old Abe
bimseif bad to interfere, by threatening to ihrasb'
both parties If they didn't behave themselves.—
Pittsburg Post.
Tbe New York World, in a very able article
upon the army and West Point, says :
"The officers ol the Souiheru army have enjoyed the enormous advautage of fighting uuder a
military President who has conceded to them the
unity of command which is absolutely essential to
military success. The officers of - tbe Northern
army, on the other band, have (ought from the
first iu handcuffs 'and letters. No General bas
gone into the field over whom did not impend, by
uight and by day, tbe awful incubus of Washington, with its iutrigues, its vanity, its imbecility, ils
political plots, and its strategic imaginations.
Unity of intelligent command and of responsibility
alone may suffice by its presence to save armies in
spite of poor equipments, weak resources, and an
evil cause,: its abseoce alone will suffice to destroy
armies in spite of rich equipments, exhaustless resources aud a sacred cause.1'   .
When Shalt, was Hats Pkace.—The Portland
Advertiser, the leading Republican paper of Maine,
asks this important question, aud answers it as follows. The answer is commended to the careful attention ol those who are so free witb thair charges
of treason agaiust every Democrat who speaks of
peace;
" We answer, when Congress shall be persuaded
that reason, not force, is the divinity of -the age
in which we live. When Congress shall be persuaded that history furnishes no example of six
millions of people, educated, free and Independent,
being subjugated to captivity and ruled against
their consent. When Congress shall be persuaded
tbat no nation oo earth have proved themselves
powerful enough in arms, or in wealth, to establish
and maintain, indefinitely, a military despotism
over six millions of white men accustomed to freedom, and to a representative government.11
Thosb Pet Lambs.—A New Orleans correspondent of tbe Philadelphia Inquirer bas the following of some of " the President's lambs f*'
■"A good story ia told of Billy Wilson's Regiment of Zouaves, the truth of which I cannot
vouch for. It is said that the boys, not exactly
liking their camping ground, made a rush for tha
State Prison, knocked down the keepers, entered
the building, turned the key on the inside of the
wall gate, locked themselves In the cells, and
cried, " Now we are at Koine 1"
Miss Hannah M. Stewart, Postmistress at Tyrone, Pa., has been removed from office, aod Jas.
Plummer, a Republican politician, appointed in

Miss Stewart is the daughter of a poor Widow,
whom she supported by means of tbe small proceeds of tbis office, her two brothers being in the
army.
" It's all very pretty to talk/' said a recently
married old bachelor, wbo bad Buisbed reading
tbe Rev. Dr. Field's essay on the Culture of women, just as a heavy milliner's bill was presented
to him. "It's all very pretty, this cultivation of
women ; but such a charge as tbis for bonnets, is
rather a heavy top-dressing—in my judgment."
Tbe young and ihougtless should remember tbat
tbe frequent use of the uame ot God or-tbe devil ;
allusions to passages of the Scripture ; mocking
at anything serious or devout; oaths, vulgar by
words, c»nt phrases, affected hard words, when
familiar terms will do as well; scraps of Latin.
Greek, or French ; quotations Irom plays spoken
in a theatrical manner ; all these, much used in
conversation, render a person very contemptible
to grave and wise men.
Somebody wbo saw Old Abe and wife at church
is impudent enough to write :
" There was a sleepy expression of the eye,
Which, reminded me of tbe lions I used to see in

tbey were lious. The President will never impress
oue with his position from mere observation. Dur
ing the sermon he seemed exceedingly restless
and weary. When the plate was passed to bim in,
taking up the collection, he modestly contributed
his " greenback." Mrs. Liucolu smiled complacently, and after the benediction chatted with a
few friends, and quietly withdrew. Mrs. Lincoln
dresses in deep mouraiug, is a short dumpy woman with a good oatured face, and is not considered handsome.1'
He Surrendered.—Au amusing little incident
occurred during the battle of Newtooia, Mo. Tbe
fight being hotly contested, au officer became very
thirsty, and repaired to a spring near by to get a
draught of cool water. Kneeling down, he drank
Irom.the spring without the aid of a cup. As he
arose from his refreshing tod, be sat himself fair
and square upon his own heals, which were armed
wilh a formidable pair of Mexican spurs. The instant he felt the prick of the sharp rowels, be
thought tbe enemy were upon bim and a bayonet
eutering his flesh. When some ol tbe men arrived
he was bawling out, " Oh I I surreuder I I surrender!" at tbe top of his voice. The articles of
war de not admit of stating hie name.
