By warriors the sword should be burue.
Drat it I where find able generals ?
1 here see a migbi small chance ;
Down goes Ihe cause of the Federals,

Serious Charge Against, Seward.
The Ias"t number ol the Button Pioneer   has the
Ijpliowing lemarkable articles :
A Fact.—From a reliabl    source—the most reliable which can be desired—we learn a fact which
siauds without a parallel in the   history  of   republican government and representation, and renders
it difficult io decide wbat we  ought   to   be   more
surprised at ;   tbat it wag al all possible, or tbat it
has uot yet become public.    Those   who have preserved ihe leai-t uudeistanding ol   the   inletesl  ot
tins republic, aud the least sympathy loi the maintenance ol ils houor, have beeu justly   nol merely
surprised, but Outraged at a   policy whicb, besides
allowing the arch enemy of   all   lepublicamsm 10
pul bis foot ou   Mexican   sol  wilhuul   ottering  a
word ol remonstrance, did moreover aid him iu hi8
euterprise, by allowing him io take bis war material Irom the pons ot ibe North  American Republic, while the shipment oi arms   was   refused    to
M- xico.    Even this was  justly   characterized not
merely as a humiliaiiou but   as almost   treason to
the Cuiimty.    Bu. wuat name shall be given to an
act .. hicb buls a km ie into lhe hands of  the mur -
dt-rer ol ihe republics, so that be may   murder the
ilmd one, aud ,-oou alter the lourtb ? Tne   laci ol
«hich we speak is Ibis ; Seward, at   the time   the
French   invasion was in pi ogress, delivertd lo the
French minister, Mercier,   Irom   the   archives of
Washington, all ihe plaus and maps from tbe cain-
paigu of Geu. Scott, lu order thereby to   facilitate
toe assassination ol lhe Mexican    Republic.    In a
couuiiy like Mexico sucb   plans   and   maps have
quite a different value Irom what   ihey   possess in
au open, cultivated and   topographically   known
territory.    They have lhe value ot a deadly weapon ; but even wei'e Ihey worthless, tbeir surreuder
woulu be au aci uf low dishonor, infidelity and iu-
lamy, wh;ch uo government could cummit witbuut
becoming the object ol   universal   coutempt.    For
such an extraordinary act   there must exist au extraordinary motive.    What can it be? Did Mr. Seward, by a servility which  was   intended to prove
its reliability by throwing away all honor and self-
interest, to turn aside, at ttie expense of  au uufor-
lunate   neighboring   Slate,   lhe   invassion   wilh
whicb a powerlul nt-igbborng   despot   seemed to
threaten ibis republic? in lbat   cai-e   be   was uot
merely the blindest, but also the most cowardly ot
all statesmen wbu have ever beeu   eutrusted   with
lhe representation ol a republic.    Or did be think
to charm the threatening   enemy inio Ibe trap, in
whicb he mi; bt accomplish his rum?   This would
only be thinkable il an impassable   blindness   had
made bim overlook tbe power ot   tbe euemy,   and
tbe notorious fact lbat be supported  the southern
rebellion.    Or sha.l we cail lhe ungrateful assumption to our assistance, that tbe   "first   statesman"
of America did really see a true friend and ally iu
be French murderer of re ublic ? Whichever way
we turn, whatever explanation we may seize upon
there is none which does not show Mr. Seward and
his chief to be totally incapable and   unworthy ol
representing this republic—either   from blindness
or cowardice.    And yet thi? judgment ie Ihe only
escape for the still sever assumption ihat Mr. Sew-
ward did t.ot knowingly and intentionally sell tbe
republic to tbe most horrible despot  of tbe world.
To render assasBiuating seivices as  accomplices
of the criminal ol second December iu his attempt
io destroy a Iriendly neighboring  State, and Ibeti
to kiss tbe bauds ot ihe bloody   butcher of Poland
in order to protect ourselves from  the   first   mentioned criminal—such is the role   which the successors ol Washington and   Franklin  and Monroe
play iu the lace of the warld in   representing this
republic in 1863.— Port. Republic.
Russian Great Guns and Iron  Armin-Ti-ial of
Steel Guns ainlAimor Plates In   St Pctt.slni.g_
On Wednesday the 7th ol October, N. S.. further
trials look place at St. Petersburg witb the experimental niue-inch rifled cast steel gun. Thia gun
is of sol d cast sreel, made by Krupp, and throws a
three huudred piund shell or a four buudred aid
fifty pounds solid shot. The results ol previous experiments witb tbisguu led the Russian government
to order fifty ol them, which are now in course of
delivery. The principal objects of Ihe experiments ot the 7ih inst. were to assertain the best
desL-riptioo of sli.ll, aud to test the quality ol armor plate* supplied by Messrs. John Browu &s Co.-
of Sheffield.
First a series of cast iron shells, three buudred
pounds each, were fired at different ranges, and
then shells made by Krupp were fired al ibe lour
aud oue-balf incb plates. Tbe first shell, of hard
cast steel, was tweuiy two and One half inches
Lng, (two aud a half diameters,) with a fiat end
four inches in diameter. Fired with filty pouuds
ot powder at seven bundled feet distance, it passes
through the plate, oak aud teak backing, and
broke iuto mau; (i ces, alihough filled.wilb sand
only. The second « id third shells were also ol
Krupp'a steel the same length, but wilh six and
one-hall second euds. Tbese Shells pierced plate8
wood, etc-, and also went to pieceB, although only
filed with sand. The lourth shell was made Jby
M. Poteleff, ol puddled steel, on Aboukoff's system, tbe same dimensions as the second and third
and went through trou, teak, etc., but was only
bulged up from nine seconds ta twelve seconds,
and the end flattened ; not a single crack beiiik
visible in the shell. The filih shell, tbe same as
the fourth, passed through iron, teak and the second targat, and went at least a mile beyond. Tbe
sixtb and seventh shells were from Krupp. aud
werecbaiged wilb powder ; they were quite flattened, nine seconds diameter. One exploded in
the plate, the other in tbe wood. Tbe eighth aud
nineth shells were of casl iron, and although they
pissed through ihe plaie, were of course destroyed.
Evening prevented further trials, which will yet
be made on the same plate.
The results ou the plate were highly satisfactory.
In a space ol lour minutes and six seconds by ibree
minu es and six seconds, eight holes were made
without any crack of the slightest description, and
tbe marine officers present were highly satisfied,
because tbey are obtaining four thou-and tous ot
plates from Messrs. John Brown & Co. ior their
different ships.
The Englisl Government would do well to note
tbe progress the Russians are making in guunery.
Cast steel guns are decidedly belore any yet produced in England of any oiher metal. The nine
second gun of Krupp bas been fired with three
hundred pound shells, and filty pounds of powder,
about seveniy limes, without any flaw, and the
Russian Gevernraeut will shortly be in a posiljoM
lo obtain iu St. Petersburg a ikrge supply of cast
steel guns, made from Russian iron, by Russians,
on Abmiki.ff's sysiem, which is very near tbe same
as theKrupp's—London Times.
■   The Soldiers at Home.
The Administration, were, at Hist, ashamed of
their course iu picking out soldiers from the army,
and sending ihem home to vote. When tbey first
tried it, last spring, in the case of Ibe Conneciicut
•election, they denied the charge with much indignation, but now they no longer disguise tbe fact.
It is estimated (.fiat not less than 20,000 men were
were seut borne within a few days previous to the
State election. The city seemed in undated with
them. They poured into it by every train, until
it seemed as it New York was half soldiers. As a
general thing, all allowed that they-came borne,
under tbe promise to vole the Abolition or so-
called Uuion ticket. Scores of them would make
affidavit to this effect, were they not afraid of
punishment when they got back inio the army for
doing so. Few of ihem dared to disobey orders,
tor Ihey were watched, and if tbey did not-vote as
r.quired, tbey would be reported by tbe Loyal
Leaguers. Is it uot a splendid, country, where an
Administration uses the army to'perpetuate their
own power, and force men in their employ to vote
as they -'dictate? Who shall say that we ought
not to give such an Administration '• more men "
and "' more money ;" in fact, invigorate and sustain them to the lullest extent ? Away with tbe
laitor who say's that Abe Lincoln ought not to
have all the power be' asks for!
Henry Wakd Beechbb is Exgi.axo.—We\flnd
the lollowing in the London News of October
1st :
Rev. H. W. Beecher, wbo has returned from his
tour on the continent, accompanied by the Rev.
Dr. Raymond, spent Saturday evening in the
Tabernacle House, Finsbury, to which. Dr. Campbell had iuvited a number of the leading ministers
of the metropolis to meet him. The conversation
was mainly turned on tbe civil war now raging,
on Which Beecher expressed himself wilh great
frankness and confidence. Tbe Rev. John Graham and tbe R-v. John Kennedy made pointed
refrence to some expressions ascribed to Beecher
about the time of tbe Trent discussion, when he
was reported baviog said, ■' They wofild bide
'heir time till tbey bad settled matters with the
South,., and then !" Tne report which reached
England stopped there, but not so thje speaker,
who finished the sentence nearly as follows:
'■ Then we will show England how we can forgive
au injury, and heap coals of Are on the heads of
those from whom it cemes!"
A learned lexicographer of our acquaintance
permits us to hnk at the advance sheets ol a utw
dictionary which he proposes to bring out before
th'e re-appearance of Noah's Ark. T e lollowing
definitions will give the reader some idea ol the
merits of this great undertaking; Copperhead—1.
A bold, honest, snake, which is harmless, unless
molested, but, being set upon, will fight desperate
ly,and bas a dangerous bile. 2.—A politician wbo
believes in <heUnion as it* was and the Constitution as it is. aud who cannot be bought with
greenbacks, nor frightened with bastiles. Black-
snake—1. This snake is a cowardly, skulking,
wriggling "cuss," which steals whatever it wants
and is afraid of a copperhead aa it is ol tbe devi
He iB supposed to be tbe same snake that told such
infernal lies in the Garden ol Eden. 2.—A politician, who believes the white man is a negro, and
is'determined to lake a negro ol him, or spoil bis
0i untry in tbe undertaking. He is sometimes fa_
miliarly called "Old Abe."
The ami-slavery folks have at length waked np
to the value of negroes.
Unfortunately, riduole is a weapon to wbieh the
vascillating too rften yield, forgetting tbat it be
ones ouly to tbe little and ungenerous minds, and
tbat those who use it, are subjects for composition
rather than dread.
The party management ol tbe democratic parly
has beeu consisteut with the spirit ai.d teuOr of its
principles. While its catid dates for the political
office were properly selected Irom those who adhered to democratic principles, yet when it had
achieved a triumph at a presidential election, the
criterion ot qualification for appointment to executive and judicial offioe was in the language ol Jeff
erson. "I-. be honest—is he capable—is be failbfui
(O lhe Constitution ?" The government was administered for the benefit ol the whole Union, uot tor
a section of it. All this has been changed by the
parly in power.—Houesty, capability, and respect
for the Constitution are ignored. Imbeciles, sw.in
dlers and fanatics uow fill the public office's, aod
tbe government is administered by a sectional
party, in a sectional spirit, for sectional purposes.
Republicanism has triumphed, aud its triumph
bas cost millions of treasure and rivers ot blood
ai d i' continued iupower will baukrupt ibe people
aid destroy the Union. There is but one way to
avert the dire calamity, and that is to restore to
power the democratic party—a parly which has
always stood faithInlly by the Constitution—always cherished tbe rights of the Slates, and sa-
creedly guarded the liberties of the citizen—always maintained the supremacy of Ihe civil over
the military power—alwajs cherished "freedum ol
religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press
the writ of habeas corpus and trial by jury.' —
Mountain Democrat.
Not a Failure. — President Lincoln's very
singular statement that volunteering had proved
inadequate to fill our armies, is rather too much
for even lhe more ca.idid Repnblieau papers. The
Commercial Advertiser well says in reply :
"We have uever thought that the system of
volunteering had been exhausted or had proved
inadequate. Once or twfee when in full tide of
Success, the government has stopped it. Last
year fonf hundred thousand men out of the six
hundred called for were raised in a very short
time. In New Jersey the quota is being rapidjy
made up. By the operation ot bounties, volunteers may be had in any reasonable nnnbers.
Had Ihe system beeu urgently put in practice
ea-r'ly in the spring, as many volnnieers would be
in the army by the first of December as the draft
wiI1 lurnisb ol conscript?."
The New York World thus commeuts on the
above.:
Tbe Commercial might bave added tbat the
volunteers would have fougbt wieingly. wbile
the conscripts will always fi<;bt under protest. It
is very clear that it is not soldiers the Administration is after so much as ihe power to command
the Berviees of the cilizens, wiihout reference to
ibe State authorities. In a word, tbe aim is to
destroy tbe States, and put absolute power in Mr.
Lincoln's bands. That is v.hy volunteers were
am called for when they were needed, and a draft
is now inmsted upoa after great victories have
relieved our armies of all pressure.
Gold—There are good reasons for believing
tbat gold was the first metal with which man
became acquainted. lis peculiar properties render
il the best for the purpose of being worked by a
pritnative people. Gold is the onfy metal whicb
is used in the arts and manufactures. The process of extricating all tbe other metals from their
matrix or ore is so tedious and difficult (bat without gold it is probable our forefathers Would have
had no metal at all to use. We wbo live at this
period of tbe world's history oan well believe how
little advancement could be made in civilization
without a metal of some kind. Now those qualities which we recognize as metalic in the highest
degree are possessed by gold, and it is thus we
see even io this single instance, a proof of the
Creator's wisdom, and adap ation ofa meatus to an
end. Gold most easily worked of all metals, the
most imperishable, the most brilliant auS attractive, was the first that was given to man. No
other metal could have served the purpose s<. well
as the one we find him first possessed of. No
wonder gold is typified io tbe Scriptures as the
purest metal, no wonder tbat It was chosen as tbe
means (in tbe shape of coin) of renrasentsing the
products of labor tbat man should select what age
alter age bas proved to be tbe most fitting thing
for this purpose. As an assaranoe to os that the
supply of gold shall be adequate to onr wants, this
metal has been found in the ratio of tbe increase of
the human family. It is diffused over the whole
earth, and as aciedasa sttmu us to man to visit
regions previoasly uncultivated. The wilds of
Australia and Ca ifornia h .ve thus been peop ed iu
our day in the same way that the Phcfineciana
p onled old Spain or the Spanish bouth America
years ago.
Dispatches of the 4i b and 5i h represented " the
Government " as being eonfiiied—to its room—and
in ill health generally—probably in consequence
ol the maternal painB attendant upmi tbe delivery
of its^annual message. Grannies Wells, Oha.se,
and Sewatd were in attendance.
p. g.—Sstill Later.—Hert's what's tbe matter
with it:
Executive MassIhn, December 5.
Reliable info'rmauon having be'etf received that
the insurgent forces are retreating from East
Tennessee, under circumstances rendering it probably that the Union forces cannot hereafter be
dislodged from that important position, and
esteeming this to be ot hi^h national consequence,
I recommend that all loyal people do, on receipt
of'tbis information, assemble at their places of
worship, and offer sp.cial homage ingratitude to>
Almighty God for this great advancement of the
National cause.
A. LrNCOLS.
Government feels better. The message hasn't
sees daylight yet.
Marriages areod the decrease in New England,
Massdcbuselts having her share ofthe falling off.
It is probable that the decrease will continue, as
the cost of living most be heavily increased by the
institution of large direct taxes, one of the consequences of the war.
The New York Post says "the country owes Mr,
Chase a debt of gratitude which no place, however
exalted, no honors, however great, which the people can give him, will ever'repay." D'ye mind
that, Abraham ?
Tbe New York Anti-Slavery /standard has
found out bow Rosecfans was defeated:—"Who—
everjit may be responsable for the dilatory filling of
tbe Corps d'Afrique in the slave eonntry, we apprehend, will have to bear tbe brunt ofthe blame.'
How air old maid a I way b eyes a single gentleman ! She looks at him as she would'at a dog in
dog days— wondering whether he intends U>
bite."
