EASTEUIV   INTELLIGENCE.
New York, Oct. 17th.— The draft in thia State
has beeu ordered for ilie 10th of November. The
number to be drafted will probably be abont 35,000.
Tho Tillies' Frederick correspondent says that

rebels still in force in the vicinity of Shcpardstown.
BOBUTHQTW, Iowa, Oct. 17th.—Sufficient returns
received'dctermine tbe election. All six Repnbll,
can members t.o Congress were elected, as also the
State [Republican] ticket by about 10,000 majority.
"Washington, Oct. 17th.—Accounts from other
than newspaper sources, show that since the battle of Antietam, there are less indications in lui-
rope than formerly to recognize the Soulhern Confederacy, and that tbe result of that engagement
so far as the Governmet of the United States ie
concerned, has had a decidedly beneficial influence.
A dispatch from ilie headquarters of tho Army
ofthe Potomac to-day, saya i
Yesterday morning, wben Hancock's c
advanced to Churlestown, Gen. Woodbury's division crossed the Potomac to Shcpardstown, taking
the road to Suickersville, a small village between
Chambersburg and Bunker Hill. Gen Woodbury
encamped last night between Leetown and Keai
nysville, seven miles from Smithlield. His troops
met but slight resistance during tho day from the
enemy's mounted pickets. This morning he ad
vanced his cavalry towards Sniithfleld and within
three miles of Buuker Hill, whore be met the cav
ntry of Hancock's division. Before reaching Ibis*
point, however, the enemy was fouud in very 1;
force.
The reconnoisance hero ended, its object being
to ascertain whether tho main body oi the rebel
army was there. There is no doubt that tbo rebel
Generals intend to give battle at or near the present location. Indications are that they will nol
have to wait long before they again meet the
Army of tho Potomac.
A dispatch received at the Navy Department
from Commander Scott, oftbe gunboat .Maratuza.
dated off Cape Pear River, llth Oct., sayt that on
that morning the rebels opened on the
with two Armstrong guns from a battery wbich
was constructed during the night on the beach.—
The second shell fired struck over the port quarter
and exploded, killng 2 and wounding (5. The gunboat immediately withdrew out of range.
Kansas City, Oct. 17.—Santa Fe mails have
been received. Gen. Carleton has established a
post at Apache Pass, and garrisoned it with a sufficient force to protect tbe pass against the Indians.
All was quiet along the road to Santa Fe.
Louisville, Oct. 17.—The Journal discredits the
econt fight at Big Hill, between Lexlnton and
Richmond, on Tuesday. Bragg, with 40,000 men,
was at Crabb Orchard, rapidly retreating towards
Mount Vernon and London. Kirby Smith was also
reported in tbe vicinity of Jauilcrty, Clay county.
It was reported tbat the mountaineers are felling
trees and otherwise blockading the roads over
which the rebels must pass in order to leave the
State.
Louisville, October 18.—A gentleman who left
Charleston on the 20th September, gives a gloomy
picture ofthe State ofaffairs there. Ali the neces
saries of life were at  starvatiou  prices.   Large
hundred men, was marching on Commerce. Four
hundred men have been sent from Girardeau to
that place.
The steamer War Fugle, from Helena, brings no
*'(-*AV oi importance. Kkirmi.-bing continues daily*
At 3 o'clock, on Friday morning last, the rebels,
to the number of 300 or 400, under Col. Faulkner,
attacked tho Federals stationed on tbe Tennessee
Bhore, opposite Island No. 10. Owing to the
darkness, the rebels fired on each other, throwing
tbem into conlusion and causing them to retire,
followed by onr cavalry, resulting, after a chase of
11 iniiop, iii tbe capture of Col. Faulkner, 3 Captains, I Adjutant aud 11 men. Eight rebels were
killed and 10 wounded. Our loss was three killed
and two wounded.
Wa*i:ix;;to_v, Oct. Id.—Tu a reconnoisance on
Thursday, by Gen. St-nbl, 80 rebbels and one caisson, full of ammunition, were captured at Tbor-
oughfarc Cap. He also drove tho rebels from Now
Baltimore, a small town four miles west of Manas
sas Gap, to Warren ton.
The Star says circumstances induce tbc general
mpressiou among military men that the rebels in
front, of MfcOleuaO will soon fight. lie bas evidently crowded them, and they evince no disposi-
.ion to retreat. Oue reason why they should fight
s that McClellan, by moving upou an aro of a circle through sotu-e near part oT the Blue Ridge
may get belore Richmond as soon, if not sooner,
than the Rebels can  maroh down   the  valley to

Louisville, Oct. 10.—John Morgan, with his
force left Lexington yesterday evening, passing
through Versailles, thence through Lawrenceburg
at daylight, and Was at Blooml'i-dd at two o'clock
this afternoon, General Burnout's cavalry are in
pursuit. Bue'.l is reported just south of Mount
Vernon, in close pursuit of the rebels, who are
supposed to be aiming to cross into Tennessee, by
Big Creek, at Wilson's Gap. It is hoped and believed that Buell will force the rebols to fight be
fore they reach Cumberland Gap.
Itis stilted that tho fight at Pcrryville was
brought ou agaiust tbe orders of Buell, whose
plaiis lor enveloping the whole of Bragg's army
are thereby thwarted, and the pursuit of the rebels
ur pick-
yJoha MbrgaD dabbed into Lexington, yester-
y morning, with 1500 men. Before surrendering,
our men fought gallantly, killing and wounding
several, Our loss was six killed ; 120 infantry
were taken prisoners. The balance of our force-
250 cavalry, made their escape.
To-day, he left, and when between Ver.-ie.iiles
and Frankfort, lie was met by 2500 of Burnout';
cavalry. Altera short fight,- the enemy fled ir
the direction of Lawrenceburg. Our cavalry pur
sued—with what result ia not yet known.
Humphrey Marshall is now at. or near Sliarps-
b a rg.
Lexington is again in possession of our troops
IxDtixoroLis, Oct. 19.— Tbe Democratic State
ticket is probably elected by from 5.000 to 8,000
majority. Five Democratic Congressmen to four
Union are elected. Tbe vote of eleven district
are so close as to require tbe official vote to decide. It is believed that the Democrats hav
elected the innjority of both branches of the Le-
islature, which will secure the election of a De-
circulation, the banks in that city alone holding
from $000,000 to 700,000 oF It. ne says that the
Charlcstonianshave completed two very formidable rams whicb will be put into service as soon
as lho necessary complements ot men are obtained.
Chicago, October IS.—The latest intelligence
from the Sioux region says tbat 2,000 Indians bad
voluntarily surrendered themselves toGeneral Sib
ley, who sent tbem under guard to Yellow Medicine.
New York, October 18.—Tbe Times' Harper's
Ferry   correspondent   says that   tho force which
made tho reconnoissauce to Charleston and
cinity returned to Bolivar Heights yesterday, the
object ofthe expedition being fully carried out.
A Sbarpsburg correspondent says that small
squads of tho enemy were encountered all along
the way by an expedition which crossed thc Potomac near Shcpardstown. Tbey retreated howeve^
without offering any serious opposition. The principal force which the enemy opposed to us was two
regiments of cavalry, with two pieces of artillery.
During the advance we had ono killed and three
wounded. Four dead rebels were found on the way
side. The impression prevails that the rebels bad
left Martinsburg. It seems clear that we have not
much to fear from any force which tho rebels may
bavo posted on the opposite bank of tho river.
The Herald's Washington dispatch says: BO im
pression prevails that there is some truth iu the rumor telegraphed some time since, that while in
Maryland the rebel General forwarded to the Wash"
ngton Government overtures of peace, which leading Sotherners believed would bo accepted. Ij
euch a proposition was made, there is no doubt it
was declined by the Federal Goveroment. Itis
believed at the Navy Department tbat several of
onr gunboats are now in pursuit of the pirate
Alabama.
The Steamer Saxon, with dates from New Orleans to the 8th and from Havana to the 18th, has
arrived. Vera Cruz dates of 1st Oct. confirm the
arrival of Gen, Forey with troops from France, and
his assumtion of the command. The rebel steamer
Blanche had been chased ashore six miles from
the Moro Castle, when leaving. Tho vessel was
totally destroyed with her cargo of cotlon. Some
anxiety was felt on board tbe Saxon for the steamer Matanzas, which left New Orleans some days
before the Saxon, in company with a Spanish
steamer. Tlie latter returned disabled. Nothing
has been heard of tbc Matanzas. Sho bad a number of passengers and a large amount of specie.
M'a:*-i!N(",ton, Oct, I8th.—A gentleman is snid
to be preparing a remonstrance to the rebel military authorities on the subject of their treatment
of prisoners ol war. Gen. Prentiss, a returned
prisoner captured at Sliilob, made a speech to
night, and said that tlie conduct of the rebels towards our troops, captured by them, was barbarous
and Inhuman. Nothing in ttie-way of tfothioi
was furnished, and food wa3 supplied to tbem that
was most disgusting.
Kansas Citv,  Oct.  18,
tbe expuleiou of Bright.
Harrisgurc**-, Oct. 19.—Fifteen Union Congress-
en are elected.    The State ticket is still doubtful, but   the chances favor the   Democrats.    The.
House will probably stand 40 Union to 54 Don"
crats, and the Senate 20 Union to 18 Democrats
New York, Oct,   20.—Tbc Press special  d
patches bave the following additional  particul
concerning Stand's reconnoisance  on Thursday, at
Upperville.    lie learned there were no rebels thi
sido of the Shenandoah, but tbey were in couside:
able force at Milwood.    After driving the  rebe
from New Baltimore, be followed them to Warret
reaching that town close on the footsteps of
the rebels. After capturing their pickets he rode
nto the town, where he found a brigade of rebel
cavelry. with oue battery of infantry. A skirmish
took place, and after an hour of irregular fighting, Stahl withdrew, and marched back to Centre-
The Herald's special, from headquarters, says :
One hundred and fifty of Stuart's cavalry have
been captured. A large number of rebel sick at
Shcpardstown refused to be pardoned, but took
tbe oath of allegiance, and have gone North.
The steamer Terry from Newbern, N. C, has
rived.    Her  news  is  unimportant.    Gov.  Stanly
arrived at Newbern on the lllli.
Dispatches from Washington state that the f7..,.
ernment has closed in tho matter of the investigation of tho surrender of Harper's Ferry, and the
defence  Is  now  examining   witnesses.    Tbe  case
11 be closed before Military Commissioners iu a
few days.
Louisville, Oct. 20.—Tbe Journal says that
BouTo h-'Vulqunr'er*-* on Friday were eleven miles
beyond Crab Orchard. It is stated that ever since
battle of Pcrryville, there has been continual
skirmishing going ou between our advance and
the rebels' rear, and a number killed and wounded
ou both sides ; but as the army is moving rapidly
no time is afforded to send back reports.
blKCPEMSATT, Oct. 20.—Returns from sixty counties gave a Democratic majority of 18,000, being
a large gain for tbat party. The Democratic majority in tbe State will be about 12,000, and it is
believed now that the Congressional delegation
will stand, 1-4 Democrats, 5 Union.
black bottle that I placed upon the grass just now,
when I turned to speak to my aid ?"
A Mackerel chap coughed respectfully, and says
he : " I. guess it was taken by some equestrian Confederacies-, whicli has just, made another raid."
Thunder I" eays the General, "that's the third*
bottle I've lost In the same way within au hour."
And he proceeded slowly and thoughtfully to mount
his horse, which stood eyeing hiiu with funeral solemnity and many inequalities of surface.
Turning to another part of tbe line, my boy, I
beheld Captain Villiam Brown and Captain Bob
Short in the aet of performing a great stragetie
movement with the indomitable Conic Section,many
of whom were employing tho moment to take a last
look at the canteens presented to them before leaving homo by their devoted mothers. A number of
reckless Confederacies bad just crossed a bridge
spanning a small stream near by, and the object of
this daring movement was to suddenly destroy the
bridge before they could retreat and then mako
prisoners of the whole.
It was a sublime conception, my boy—it was a
ublime conception, aud rich with Btrategy.
Like panthers surrounding their unsuspecting
prey, tbe wily Mackerels swept noiselessly across
the bridge, applied their axes with the quickness of
thought, and in a moment the doomed structure fell
splashing into the water. It was beautiful to see
Vi I Ham's honest-exultation at this moment; his eyes
lightened liko small bottles of brandy with the
ght shining through them, and says he :
" We have circumvented the Confederacy. Ah I"
says Villiam, proudly ; " the United States of Aiuori-
now prepared to continue in the exchange ot
business, aud—"
lie paused.    lie paused, my boy, because be suddenly observed that  Captain Bon  Shorty bad coiu-
lenced to scratch his bead in a dismal manner.
"I'm blessed," says  Captain  Bob  Shorty,  in  a
cholesical manner—"  I'm blessed  if I don't  think
there's some mistake here, my military infant.''
Ha I" says Villiam,   with dignity ; " do you discover a flaw In the great chain woven by the United
States of America around tbo doomed Confede
,V
Captain Bob Shorty again scratched bishead, and
" I don't wish to mako unpleasant iusinun
but it seems to me that this here body of in
has left itself on tbe wrong side of the strean
And so it had, my boy. By one of those little
mistakes which will sometimes occur in the most
victorious armies, the Conic Section had thoughtlessly crossed lhe bridge before destroying it, thus
leaving themselves on one side of the river, while
the riotous Confederacies were on thc-othcr.
How tbey got across again, at a fordable place
higher up. just in time to see the Confederacies
cross again, at a forcible place lower down, I will
not pause to tell you, ns sueh information might retard enlistments.
Once more stationing myself near the General oi
flic Mackerel Brigade, who sat astride his funeral
charger like thc equestrian statue of the Duke o,
Wellington, I was watching his motions attentively
when a body of horsemen suddenly dashed by him.
and I saw, as thoy disappeared, that he was left
bareheaded.
"Thunder!" says the General, winking very violently in the sunlight, and rattling bis sword ina
tearless maimer,     vnn-n, ,,,_, c»i?guii« lo : -
There was a respectful Mackerel chap at band,
and says he :
I think it was took by  tlie equestrian Confede
racy, which has jest made another raid."
" Hum I" says the General, thoughtfully, " that's
very true. Thunder l" says the General to himself l
as it were :  this is all Greeley's work."
Pondering deeply over this last remark, T sauntered to another part of the field, where tbe Orange
County IlowiUers were being prepared to repel the
charge of a regiment ot Confederacies, wbo had
just come within our lines for lho purpose. The ar.
tillery was well handled, my boy, and not a piece
would have been captured but for the splendid discipline of the gunners. They were too well discip-
!in«l to dispute orders, my boy ; aria* as Captain
Samyule Sa-mith bad accidentally forgotten to give
the order to " load" before he told tbem to fire
the effect of our metal upon the hostile force was
not as inflammatory as it might have been.
The next I saw of Samyule, he was making his
report to the General, who received him with much
enthusiasm.
" Where are your guns," my child, says the General with paternal affability,
Samyule blew hie nose in a business-like manner,

Strategy at the Cnpltal.
You are probably aware, my boy, that tli
querahle Mackerel Brigade ia still advanc:
Washington in a highly respectable and strategic
iner ; and tbat all correspondents aro excluded
from the lines, lest some of them, in their natural
blackness of heart, should construe the advance
upon Washington into a retreat from Richmond.
But I gained admission to the scene by adopting!
the airy and pleasing uniform of the Southern Confederacy ; and am thereby enabled to give yon some
further account of the skillful retrogade advance to
which 1 dimly referred in my absorbing last.
The uniform of tho celebrated Confederacy is
much respected by many of our officers, my boy,
and is the only guise in which a fellow being may
scrutinise the national strategic works with entire
safety.
Thus attired, I joined the Mackerel Brigade In Its

"Considerable excitement prevails here.
Cairo, Oct. 18th.—Information from Cape Girardeau, 10 o'clock, this morning, says intelligence
was received there   that Col. Jeffreys,
penetrated to tho rear,
where horrible carnage was being wrought in thc
frantic ranks of the Confederacy, I beheld the idolized General of the Mackerel Brigade anxiously
searching for something upon the ground. In a
ment, lie looked up, and says he to the wariors in
his neighborhood:
with seven      " My children, have you seen anything of a smnl

of the riders jerking the veteran's horse violently
from under him, and galloping the steed awny with

"Where's my horse gone to?"
"I guess," says a Mackerel   chap, stepping up—
' that it  was took  by the equestiian  Confedonicy,
which has just made another raid."
" Thunder," says the General, they'll take my
coat and vest next." And he retired lo a spot nearer
Washington.
I would gladly continue my narrative of the ad
vance movement, my boy, showing how our forces
continued their march in excellent. order, safely
reaching a spot wilhin ten miles of the place they
gained on tho following day; but such revelations
would simply tend to confuse your weak mind with
thoso great doubts concerning military affair!
which tend to render civilians impertinently crili

It Is a popular belief with -mothers,
that washing young children daily, in
cold water, makes them hardy. This il
a grave mistake; the feohlc circulation
of the hlood of some children requires
the aid and assistance of warm water
and warm clothing. The greatest med
ical man that ever lived—John Hunter
—recommended three rules for the management of children, and they express
tho substance of a volume; he says—,
"Give them plenty of milk, plonty Of
sloep, and plenty of flannel."

Young Genius walked out by the mountains and

Till the silent, the wayward, the wandering thing,
Found  a plume that had fallen  from a passing

Exulting and proud, like n boy at his play,
He bore the lair prize to his dwelling away ;
Ho gazed for awhile on its beauties, and then
He cut it, and shaped it, and called it a PBN.
But its magical use he discovered not yet,
Till he dipped its bright lips in a fountain of jet ;
And, oh ! what a glorious thing it became !
For it spoke to the world in a language of flame ;
While its master wrote on like a being (inspired,
Till the hearts of the|millionswere melted or fired j
It came as a boon and a blessing to men—

From the San Joaquin Republican.
What Is Treason I
The Scotchman's definition of orthodoxy—"Or
thodoxy.is my doxy ; all others are heterodox"—
answers well for the Republican idea of treason,
making it a vagrant offence, dependent upon popular sentiment and public exigencies. Senator
Wade declared in his place in the Senate, that
" any man who would quote the Constitution.of
the United States at this time is a traitor." Gen.
Cassias M. Clay recently announced in a public
speech that "any man, Nortb, South, East and
West, wbo did not stand by Abraham Lincoln and
his proclamation, was a traitor." Attorney Geueral Pixley, iu an official opinion, defines treason
to be a refusal to give currency to " green-backs.':
All these are high authority in the Government
which haa the power to enforce its dogmas. Then
we have other definitions as varied and as numerous as the factious and isms of which the ruling
party is composed. To question tbe equality of
the negro is treason; to vote against the Black
Republican ticket is treason ; and we are told that
sVeer^y<*te^
tbe itinerant lecturer, Starr King. The mode and
measure of punishment is also a vagrant power,
wilhout a local habitation or a name in the written
constitutions and laws of the country. We hear
of men being arrested for talking treason. The
only kinds of treason known tothe written laws
are overt and covert—the aet or the plotting. A
friend suggests that you could as well talk murder,
arson or rape, as to talk treason. Arrested bow-
by what form of writ ? Nothing that has ever before been heard of or known iu criminal jurisprudence. A military officer sends a civil Marshal
or Constable not legally under his control, with a
telegraphic communication from one of the President's clerk'B—a Cabinet Minister, invested by law
with neither military or civil authority-—to seize
and convey to a government fort, an individual
charged with an imaginary offence, which in itself
moral absurdity. All the public know of the
matter is, that tbe thing is done—the prisoner suffers—but for what offence, or by what authority,
or under what rule, regulation or general direction, is all a matter of speculation.
We have a sincere desire lo obey the laws and
honor all in authority over us, and a special aversion to Alcatruz. A constrained residence there
would neither bo pleasant nor convenient to ua,
besides involving the Government in an unnecessary expenditure for our support, which we should
be unwilling to impose upon it at the present time'
What we want to know is, " how to enjoy and how
to avoid," as thc lecturer says. If our rulers will
give us an authoritative definition of treason now.
andjtben issue a bulletin from day to day, as circumstances may require chances, together with
the precise mode and measure of punishment, we
will, for the sake of our own safety and the public
peace, try lo conform; or if we fail in that, we
shall at least know what the consequences are.
Our necessities require that we should write—upon
our daily labor depends^our daily bread—hence our
personal interest in knowing what we may write-
to put it upon no higher ground.^ An English
poet once said—
"Enough for the rabble to know ol their lords,
Is what tbe dim light of taxation affords."
This would do very well—for every mau wil!
soon have as much experience in that line as will
command his constant attention—if it were no1
that ignorance endangers our personal safety. We
may be committing treason all unconscious of any
offence, and what may be tho highest evidence of
patriotism to-day may be treason to-morrow. For
instance—for saying that emancipation was to be
made one of the objects of the war, a few months
nee, wo were denounced as a traitor; if we
should question tho policy of emancipation now,
we would be sure to be accused of treason. The
practice of the ancient tyrant of posting hie decrees where the people could not read them, that
be might have a pretense for punishment, in which
he delighted, has, until quite recently, been regarded as an unworthy device ; but perhaps Nero
thought it waa the best way to preserve the Union
and in that view ho was undoubtedly Justifiable-
Then there were those " chive"—not one of whom
had ever bad the advantage of a common school
education—who compelled "the government," at
Runnymede, to sign ths following pledge :
" No freeman shall be arrested, or imprisoned, or
dissiesed (of property), or outlawed, or banished, or
in any way injured, nor will we pas3 sentence upon
The weight of annual taxation will test severely
the loyalty oftbe people ofthe North.    Repudiation ol our financial obligation would cause disorder and   endless; moral   evils.    Pecuniary  rights
will   never bo held  moro sacred   than  personal
rights".   Repudiation of the Constitution involves
repudiation of national debts, ot its guaranties of
rights of property, of person, and of conscience—
The moment we show the world  that we do not
hold  the Constitution to be a sacred compact, we
not only destroy all sense of security, but we turn
away from our shores a vast tide of foreign immigration.   It comes here now not because there aro
uot other skies as bright and other lands aa productive as ours.   It seeks here security for freedom—for rights of conscience, for immunity from
tyrannical interferences, and   from  meddling impertinence.   The borne and fireside rights heretofore enjoyed by the American people—enjoyed un.
der protection  of a written   Constitution—have
made ua great and  prosperous.   I  entreat you
again, touch them not  with sacrilegious bands.—
We are threatened with the breaking; up of our
social system, with the over throw of State and National governments.   If we begin a war upou the
compromises of   fhe   Constitution   we   must   go
through with it.  It contains many restraints upon
our natural rights.   It may be asked by what right
do the six email New England States, wilh a population less thau that of New York, bave six times
its power in the Senate, wbich has become tho controlling branch oT government ?   By what natural
right do these States, with their small united populations and limited  territories balance tbe powei
of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana aud Michigan ?   The vast debt growing out of
this war will give rise to new and angry discussions.   It will be held almost exclusively in a few
Atlantic States.   Look upon the map of the Union
and see how small is the territory in which it will
be owned.    We are to be divided iuto creditor and
debtor States, and the last will have a vast pre-
ponderauce of power and strength.    Unfortunately
there is no taxation  upon tbis national debt, and
held where many of the government contracts have
been executed,  and where in some circumstances
gross frauds have been practiced.   It isheld largely where  the Constitution gives a disproportional
share of political power.   With all these elements
of discord, is it wise to assail constitutional law, or
bring authority into contempt?   Is it safe to encourage tbe formation of irresponsible committees,
made up of impertinent men, who thrust themselves
iuto tbe conduct of public afiairsand try to dictate
to legal rulers?    Or will you tolerate tbe enrollment of armies which are not constituted or organized by proper authorities?   Are such   things
just toward those who have placed their fortunes
in tbe bands of the governmeut at thia crisis?
We implore you do not be deceived again with
this syren aong of no danger. There is danger,
great aud imminent, of the destruction of government, or safety for life and property, unless the
duty of obedience to law be enforced.—-Marysviile
Express.
The people are becoming justly alarmed atthe
restrictions which are constantly being placed on
tbe liberty of tbe citizen and the freedom of the
press. Lojal men have been thrown into prison
on accusations which they are not permitted to answer, and if snch nn instrument as the Constitution
of the United Stales had no existence. Here an
editor is arrested for his audacity in daring to ex-
exclse his right of criticising the acts of the ad-
miniMrution ; there a paper fa suppressed for doing
that which the supreme law of tbe land says tho
Government had no legitimate authority to prevent. In one or two instances the State authorities have come in conflict wilh the Federal, and
the Governor of New Jereey haa threatened to resist with the whole military force of the State, if
necessary, any attempt on the part of the General
Government to arrest a citizen of that State without due process of law.
This is certainly an assertion of tho State rights
in the very face of the supremacy claimed by tho
General   Government.    Nor  do we wonder at tho
course pursued by Governor Olden, when we con-
uider the number of persons   who were arbitrarily
arrested and subsequently  released, because   no
charges   could   bo   substantiated    against   them.
Such was the case with   the reporter  of a New
York journal, who was arrested on  a verbose and
pompous order  from   the  War Department, and
wbo was released on the report of a Congressional
Committee, to tbo effect that the evidence waa insufficient to cause arrest.    There is   abundant evidence of a similar character that there has been
n unQecessary and C.-y?.\'-,rA,'.v   u*;-■.! of tlie power assumed by the administration.    Uow long is this to
continue?—how long is the Governmeut to allow
itself to be  embarrassed with   this  usurpation of
power by its subordinates?   Are our liberties to
be buried in the grave from wbich we would raise
to life the paralyzed body   ofthe Union?   Is it
possible  tbat we cannot restore  the one without
losing the other ?—or can union ouly be secured
by the sacrifice of political freedom ?   It is absurd
to refer to tho course pursued   by the French Directory, either in palliation   or justification of tbo
acta of our Government.   There is no parallel between the two cases.   The French simply changed
tbe dei*potinm of tbe Monarchy for that of the Republic, while here the principles of our own Revolution bave been forgotten, and we have retrogad-
ed with a celerity that might well arouse the fears
of every lover of free institutions.    We think tbe
Government is treading on unsafe ground, and wo
trust that the President will  place a check on its
present dubious and dangerous mode of preserving
the Union.   There is ono fact  that it would do
well to remember—tbat thc Union without liberty

Making  of Disloyalists   ot -Missouri   pay   the
Fiddler—A Sweeping Order.
Levying assessments on tho disloyal people of
various counties has become the fixed policy oftbe
^nion officers commanding the militarv in Missouri-
Tbis policy was inaugurated by Gcnorvl Halleck,
nnd bas been practised iu Nashville, New Orleans,
Memphis, Newbern, N. C, and elsewhere in other
States, so that it is a well settled rule tbat tbo disloyal must pay their portion of the expenses of the
war. But the practice here of late haa became
quite extensive in Missouri. Assessments have
been levied in St. Louis, St. Joseph, Lexingtou, Se
dalia, Cape Girardeau, Hannibal, Palmyra, Benton,
Springfield, in Carroll county, and in Jefferson City_
An assessment of $500,000 is now pending in tbis
city. Gon. Lewis Merrill, who is in command in
Northeast Missouri, has issued an order which will
catch everybody not prominently loyal. He says
tbat all tbe counties of Northeast Missouri arc full
of rebels, wbo are responsible for tho villanies of
Porter, Poindexter, and (heir associates; aud itis
ordered, therefore, that they be assessed in propor
tion to their wealth, to pay the damages of such
villainies. All person, will be assessed who bavo
enrolled themselves as disloyal, or in sympathy
with the rebellion ; all wbo are subject to military
duty who have failed to enroll themselves, whether
loyal or disloyal; all who have enrolled themselves
as loyal, who are conspicuously disloyal; aud, all
persons who have done no acts, or use any influ.
ence to show their sympathy for the Union. There
is no escaping this sweeping classificntion. Those
who have been lukewarm Union men, or tried to
remain neutral among their neighbors, will find
tbemsclve called on to pay.
The career of the Second Wisconsin Regiment
Is practically ended. The Milwaukee JYcws says
tbat all that remains of the eleven hundred who
left Wisconsin a litlle more than twelve months
ago, are fifty-nine war-worn and battle-grimed
men. Almost every blood-stained field of Maryland and Virginia is enriched by the bones of the
dead from the noblts regiment. Thero were ten
overflowing companies when thc regiment left the
State.
By mutual consent, picket firing has ceased entirely on the lines of the Potomac. Both parties
seem willing to suppress this   barbarous practice.
