SMALL Pox.—We would state for the infor-mation of the public that the small pox which has prevailed to some extent in this town has pretty much subsided. The few remaining cases are confined exclusively to the camp of the ne-groes, in the vicinity, and there is no danger whatever of visitors to our town contracting the disease. Drv Goods. * Full lines of Ladies'Dress and Furnishing goods of every qual-ity, and at prices which defy competition. GEN. HOKK.—This distinguished son of the old North State was in our town on Tuesday last. On Tuesday evening he was serenaded by the citizens, and in response to numerous calls he appeared on the balcony of the Metropolitan Hotel and in a handsome manner returned his thanks for the compliment shown him.

KEi>OXS WHY V.i SIIOILD INSURE AGAINST ACCIDENT. •• Accidents will happen,"—no man is secure them To a -working man, whoso income 9 '.he moment he is disabled from working, leal insurance comes as a blessing, wi'h its ."' oi i'-o a week compensation. Every prudent and careful man will act with ;■† i icnce to future contingencies. Bodily acci-dent and injury is one ot ti.e most frequent and prolific oansea of distress ; of distress to a man's family, if fatal to him, and to himself, also, if only ing him from pursuing his business In a^es, this mode of insurance comes to you is assured life. As no Medical Examination is required thou-sands SaTthose who have been rejected by Life Companies, inconsequence of heriditary orother diseases, can effect insurance in the Traveler's at the lowest rates. Life Insurance Companies pay no port of the principal sum until the death of the insured. This Company pays the lessor damage sustained by personal injury tchentver it occur*. The feeling of security which such an insur-ance gives is worth more than money. The rates of premium ate itss than for any ather class of insurance in proportion to the risk. No betteromiorc satisfactory use can bo made of eosmall a sum. It is the be=t and cheapest in-rura :ce extant, anil ofbentfit to all classes. jan12 77-6m Milt's Fiiniishing Goods Our stock of Gent's Furnish-ing goods is complete in every particular. Best quality of goods. Lowest prices ! l\ Particular attention is invited to our stjck ot clothing. In this department we offer the very best inducements. Our clothing is made expressly to our own or-der, of undamaged goods, and sold lower than much of the "shoddy" now in the Southern market. Table and tyieeii's-ware. A full assortment of common as well as the finest qualties of Table and Queen'Sware, Table Cutlery, Spoons,-&c. Impor-ted Vines, Liquors and Cigars. The attention of dealers is, par-ticularly called to this depart-ment of our trade. We can sell wines, liquors and cigars on bet-ter terms, taking into considera-tion cost and carriage, than they can be procured in Northern markets. BARTER. We take in exchange for goods Barter of all kinds allowing the highest market prices. Ale! Ale!—We are the Cockade city lire re now receiving from ewvry, Pcterabuig, Va., large qnautities of DKAUUHT ALE, which we are prepared to didwer to purchasers cheaper than they can buy elsewhere In quality this also will compare favorably with any of the celebrated brands manufactured in the Norrh. Give us a call. KEOGH i CRANE. feb24 83-Cm KANI.OLI-H SUPKBIOB COURT.—This court was holden last wick by his Honor Judge Gil-iiam. We arc informed, that there never were so many people seen on the court-green, and there on business of a legal character, since Randolph lias been a county. Nearly every day of the week, the Court-house was not simply crowded, but packed, jammed and crammed. Lawyers, who came in late, could scarcely make their way through the throng to the Bar; and the Solicitor's office was like- an Enrolling Office in the busiest days of Confederate con-scription. From what we learn, the people of that county have each other 'emphatically try tin; ears and are pulling one another like the vorv duoo. Instead ?f lotting bv-gones be bv-gones. with the restoration or civil government and the reopening of the Courts, they are re-newing something of the strife and trouble which so afflicted that and other counties in the hottest times of the revolution out of which we have so recently .'merged. We regret this no little; but as a faithful chronicler of the news it it our duty to publish {acts and approve or dis-approve them. The animus, with which that people is moved, is not commendable. Of convictions and submissions, there were not less than fifty : of the bills of indictment found the number is at least eighty ; and there were a great many presentments and old war-rants on which the parties had to be re-bound, because Mr. Solicitor Settle did not have time to draw bills. Me worked day and night, drew over one hundred bills ; but the Grand Jury, who could not on account of its numbers work SO rapidly, acted upon only about eighty. We understand there were several bills charging de-fendants with murder. The old citizens and such as were called loyal during the days of the Southern Confederacy are prosecuting the bush-whackers and robbers : and, on the other hand, the bushwhackers, who now s -t themselves up as par excellence Union citizens, are indicting the Militia officers and such as acted under their or-ders for assaults and batteries, forcible trespas-ses, false imprisonments and murder. The spir-it of retaliation has just begun to move them and it is difficult to tell bow far and to what ex-tremes it may impel them. We greatly hope it will soon expire, and that peace, concord and brotherly regard may succeed it. The civil docket, though large and many of the cases important, was not taken up except for rules and motions. Nor is it likely any* thing can be done on it for some time, unless a Court of Over and Terminer is appointed to clear the criminal docket. It is highly impor-tant, that this should be done. It yvould be an advantage to the county revenue fund, foryvhero so many as a thousand witnesses arc in atten-dance upon a Court, there will necessarily fall a great deal of costs upon the county. Besides many of the citizens will be broken up by prose-cutions and civil suits for damages. In every instance where the officers of the law arrested aged men and helpless women in order to make them tell where their children were concealing themselves, abused, mistreated and imprisoned them, they are instituting both civii and crimi-nal prosecutions. Henry Cagle was tried on the charge of bur-glary : but he was acquitted. We have heard various opinions about his guilt. Of course, we know nothing of our own knowledge as to the merits of his case. We learn there were other cases against him, and that, though one case was moved to this county for trial, yet af-ter this was done, his cases were all compromis-ed by his submitting to a verdict of larceny, whereupon judgment was suspended until next Court, he agreeing to leave the State in two months for good and for aye. No doubt, that was the best disposition, which could have been made of him under the circumstances. A smart witness on that trial, we have heard, defined a bushwhacker to be ■• a good Union man, a man who did not rebel against the laws of his coun-try." New coined meaning, this, for that word. Had they been such devoted friends of the great American Union and actuated by high and honorable principles and patriotism, they yvould have crossed the lines, joined the Federal Army and fought for that Union instead of ly-ing in the bushes, stealing, robbing and plun-dering. We think that is an effort to put spa- [ rious coin off upon the men of the North, No RETROGRADE.—President John-son, in reply to a dlegation from New Jersey who waited o'hini the other day. said : " 1 do not know, ger.taien, that I can make any reply to the coiilimentaiv manner in which you have addre*8 i-..-; and'to the senti-ment) and principles sy forth in your resolu-tions than to refer you »rny public acts. You must take them as my rply or any speech that I might make. I muf however, thank von most fervently for the .Icouragement you have given me. For yve are [cupying a position now that needs encourageratlt from" those who are desirous of maintainiiugthe first and original principles of the government. My line of poli-cy is, I think, unmistakj>le, and I have advan-ced too far in life Fi mafc any retrogade move-ment : I can make nejtcp backward, and 1 hope you will find thi 4e generous confidence you have given me h/s hot been misplaced. J can say no more, bu|LhJik you, gentlemen." From The Raleigh Sentinel. THE FKIKNDS AGAIN.—In confirmation of our position, in regard to the Friends in this State and the recent charges of persecution against them, were'wanting, the following let-ter to Gov. Worth fully settles the matter. The source whence it emanates entitles it t'o the ful-lest confidence: N«W GARDEN. N. C, Srd mo. 31st, 18C0. Gov. WORTH ; Esteemed Friend .—Thy letter of 22nd inst."- stating that some of our papers hold thee and Gov. Graham in some yvay responsible for the persecution and abuse of certain members of the Society of Friends who were thereby compelled to leave the State, did not reach me till the 28th. The evening before I had seen in The N Y. Tri-bune a statement that 75 members of the Society of Friends from Randolph passed through Wash-ington on their yvay to Indiana, driven away by the ex-soldiers of the rebel army. All this was new* to me, and subsequent en- " When Virginia seceded * * yve went reluctantly and sadly with our State, but with the fixed determination to avail our-selves of the first suitable opportunity to strike foi peace."—Standard, April 3rd, ltfoG.

We did this, too, with the most entire consisteiuv, tor WE HAD AJ.WAYS HELD THAT THE STATES HAD A RIGHT TO SECEDE FOR 1AISE." Standard, Aug. \st, 1801.

Although to inert of sense the questions propounded to the old fcro are the quintessence of nonsense, yet it willfce seen he had a ready-answer for each. It is ^tated, but upon what authority we cannot kf, that Gen. Lee's ex-chequer suffered severely during the examina-tion.

I know of no such persecution* or disposi-tion to petn-ccute either the Society of Friends or others, and, yvere such persecution to occur, thy-self and Gov. Graham are among the very last men whom I should expect to find giving coun-tenance thereto. Tliv friend. NF.RKUS MENDENHALL. P. S. At present I seldom see either The Standard or Progress. If I learn anything throw-ing a different light on the matter I will Write again. I think, that, unless objected to by thee, I shall forward thy letter to Friend's Review as I believe thy position is misunderstood. Since writing the above, 1 have had fuller in-formation, every yvay reliable, and have altered and interlined accordingly. A few persons (not Friends) Who were likely to ba prosecvled for their bad conduct during the war have recently made their escape from Kandoplph. ROBBEKV.—The Jewelry store of David Scott, in this town was forcibly entered on ilon-day night the burglers stealing therefrom thir-ty seven watches and about half bushel of cheap jewelry. No clue of the robbers has yet been obtained. The Old North State, published at Salisbury, under the Editorial auspices of Hon. Lewis Hanes, has made ils appearance. The first number is beautiful in typography, and its orig-and selected matter bears the impress of Mr. Hanes' vigorous mind and good taste. We wish him great success, which he will doubtless well deserve. RICHMOND PAI-EP.S SISPE.VDEH.—The Rich-mond papers have all been suspended, and will not probably be issued for several days. The proprietors of the several journals decided to re-duce the wages of their employees twenty per cent., to which the latter objected. In con-sequence of their refusal to work on these terms, the papers are eompelled to suspend publication temporarily. Proclamation by the President. WASHINGTON, April 2.—The President has issued a proclamation reciting former Proclamations, and also quoting the reso-lutions passed by each House of Congress in July, 1801, namely: " Resolved, That the present deplora-ble civil war has been forced upon the country by the disunionists of the South-ern States now in revolt against the Con stitntioaal Government, ami in arms around the capital; that in this national emergen-cy, that Congress, banishing all feeling ot mere passion or resentment, will recollect only its duty to the whole country ; that this war is not waged on our part in any spirit of oppression, nor for the purpose of ovcrthrowingor interfering with the tights or established institutions of those States, but io maintain and defend the suprema-cy of the Constitution, and to preserve the Union, with all its rights, dignity, and c'i«-..-.lity of the several Stated unimpaired; and that, as soou as those objects arc ac- (..-.ynplished, t.h«» war oti";ht to cea*P." These resolutions, though not joint or concurrent in form, are substantially iden-tical, and as such may be regarded as hav-ing expressed the sense of Congress upon the subject to which they relate. There now exists no organized armed resistance of misguided citizens or others to the authority of the United States in the States of Georgia, South Carolina. Virginia, North-Carolina, Tennessee, Ala-bama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and Florida, and the laws can be sustained and enforced therein by the proper civil au-thority, State or Federal, and the people of the said States are well and loyally dis-posed, and have conformed, or will eon-form in their legislation, to the condition of affairs growing out of the amendment to the Constitution of the United Stales prohibiting slavery within the limits and jurisdiction of the United States. For these and other reason, the 1'resi-dent proclaims and declares that the in-surrection which existed in the above named States is at an end, and is hereaf-ter to be so regarded. Gov. Worth, yve see, has convened the Coun-cil of State to meet on the 14th inst., but for what purpose, yve know not. The action of the 1T. S. Senate in turn-ing out Senator Stockton, of New Jersey, is a great outrage. Mr. Stockton is a dem-ocrat and a supporter of the President.— Since his election to the Senate, the radi-cals have gained the ascendancy in the New Jersey Legislature, and in order to get Mr. Stockton one they contested his seat on the ground that lie was elected by a plurality and not a majority vote. The Judiciary Committee of the TJ. S. Senate made a report in favor of Mr. Stockton, so clear was his right to the seat; but Suni-ner and other ralical members resorted to all sorts of tactics until they gained their point and dismissed Stockton. When the vote was taken on the report ofthe judicia-ry committee, Senator Morrill of Maine, although he had paired off with Mr. Wright who was absent from sickness, voted against the adoption of the report, thus violating his pledge. Mr. Stockton, not willing to be cheated out of his seat in that way, voted for the report, and it was adopted by one majority. But the next day Mr. Stunner moved to strike out Mr. Stockton's vote on the ground that he ought not to be allowed to vote on bis own case. This motion was carried by one ma-jority, and consequently Mr. Stockton lost his seat, and the Legislature of New Jersey have the opportunity of electing a radical and an enemy of the President in his place. In this way the radical disunionists hope to get two-thirds of the Senate and over-ride the President's vetoes. The House of Representatives have already turned out some supporters of the Presi-dent— Voorhees of Indiana. Brooks of Neyv York, and others—to make room for radicals. Shattered constitution restored by Hem-bond's Extract Buchu—Hal. Standard. Better give the "Constitution" of the U. S. a few doses.—Danville Times. It yvould hurt the feelings of Tlie Tunes to see the Constitution of the United States restored, but that paper yvould go over any close that would restore the Con stitution of "our beloved Confederacy."— Raleigh /Standard. We never gave a vote to kill the former and make the latter—yon did.' We never pledged the "last dollar and the last man"' to "shatter" the one and defend the other —you did, and involving tis in the ruin forcedxwfco take your side of the ques-tion. When you advocated the election ot a secession candidate to the Presiden-cy, (Mr. Breckenridge,) we opposed you. When you said the election of Lincoln yvould be good cause to "shatter" the Constitution of the United States, yve said nay ! When you plead for secession, we plead against it; when you plead for a "beloved Confederacy," yve plead against it until pleading was of no use. And now you have the unblushing impudence to taunt us yvitb a hankering desire to "re-store the Constitution of a Confederacy you tried to make, but failed. Had you succeeded in it, you would have claimed all the credit and "glory" with the same zeal that you now denounce it because it failed.—Dan cille Times. Hit him again! "Cut his tail smack off smoove."—Baliebury Banner. Don't do it. He'll need it to wag when bis master* the Devil, calls for him— Wadesboro Argus. It is generally understood that the devil Will never call for him ; his domains are now in a very peaceful condition, which he doesn't wish disturbed; and besides, he is afraid to run the risk of closer opposi-tion. A MAX SHOT.—We learn that a sol-dier was shot at the railroad depot in this place on Saturday, and tailed instantly.— His arrest had been ordered by the milita-ry authorities for some offence, when re-sisting he was shot by the guard.—Salis-bury State, defence of their rights. They 'have been for-eighty years, and, by the blessing of God, they will remain free or die in their tracks. T/uywill make no cotnpromim with the North—they will never cease to light as long as a federal soldier is on Confederate soil; they will agree to no terms which will not permit Maryland, Missouri, and Kentucky deliberately to decide their own destiny ; and they will accept nothingfrom, the North but the fullest and most unqualified acknowledge-ment of the independence of the Confed-erate States."—Standard, July 1st, 1862. . " Mr. Lincoln may call, but North Caro-lina will extend no aid to him in any et-fort tocoeice'tlie Confederate States. The soil of North Carolina must not be pollu-ted by the tread of armed men sent to make war on the Confederate States." The Standard of the 17th, containing thi above, was issued before Tin Register iit'the same date was issued, and before the reply of Gov. Eilis refusing troops, was printed—thus placing me ahead of both Ts\e Register and the Governor in defying and denouncing Lincoln. And in every subsequent number of The Stan-dard, I have occupied the strongest South-ern ground, and called on tho people of the State to rally, as one man, in defence of their rights andlibertics.— 1!'. !l-. Ih.l-d n's address to people of Wake, May 11, 1861. THE LAST PFISONBB.—We are inform-ed that PaytOD Davis, the last ofthe Con-federate prisoners wbe> had-been in con-finement at Fort McHenry, reached Pe-tersburg, Monday last. He served through the war as a member of Barksdale's brig-ade of the army of Northern Virginia.— lie lost bis leg in the battle of Cedar Creek, October, 1864, and was thura cap. lured. He was detained by the nature ot his wound, and speaks in the most grate-fill terms of the kind treatment received from the U. S. officers and soldiers at the Fort. The Index says he left for bis home in Anson County, X. C, the next niorn- Ciniors FACTS.—This year the 1th of March came upon Sunday, an unusual event.

INSURE AGAINST ACCIDENT.
•• Accidents will happen"—no man is secure
them To a -working man, whoso income
9 '.he moment he is disabled from working,
leal insurance comes as a blessing, wi'h its
."' oi i'-o a week compensation.
Every prudent and careful man will act with
;■† i icnce to future contingencies. Bodily acci-dent
and injury is one ot ti.e most frequent and
prolific oansea of distress ; of distress to a man's
family, if fatal to him, and to himself, also, if only
ing him from pursuing his business In
a^es, this mode of insurance comes to you
is assured life.
As no Medical Examination is required thou-sands
SaTthose who have been rejected by Life
Companies, inconsequence of heriditary orother
diseases, can effect insurance in the Traveler's at
the lowest rates.
Life Insurance Companies pay no port of the
principal sum until the death of the insured. This
Company pays the lessor damage sustained by
personal injury tchentver it occur*.
The feeling of security which such an insur-ance
gives is worth more than money.
The rates of premium ate itss than for any
ather class of insurance in proportion to the risk.
No betteromiorc satisfactory use can bo made
of eosmall a sum. It is the be=t and cheapest in-rura
:ce extant, anil ofbentfit to all classes.

KANI.OLI-H SUPKBIOB COURT.—This court
was holden last wick by his Honor Judge Gil-iiam.
We arc informed, that there never were
so many people seen on the court-green, and
there on business of a legal character, since
Randolph lias been a county. Nearly every day
of the week, the Court-house was not simply
crowded, but packed, jammed and crammed.
Lawyers, who came in late, could scarcely
make their way through the throng to the Bar;
and the Solicitor's office was like- an Enrolling
Office in the busiest days of Confederate con-scription.
From what we learn, the people of
that county have each other 'emphatically try
tin; ears and are pulling one another like the
vorv duoo. Instead ?f lotting bv-gones be bv-gones.
with the restoration or civil government
and the reopening of the Courts, they are re-newing
something of the strife and trouble
which so afflicted that and other counties in the
hottest times of the revolution out of which we
have so recently .'merged. We regret this no
little; but as a faithful chronicler of the news it
it our duty to publish {acts and approve or dis-approve
them. The animus, with which that
people is moved, is not commendable.
Of convictions and submissions, there were
not less than fifty : of the bills of indictment
found the number is at least eighty ; and there
were a great many presentments and old war-rants
on which the parties had to be re-bound,
because Mr. Solicitor Settle did not have time to
draw bills. Me worked day and night, drew
over one hundred bills ; but the Grand Jury,
who could not on account of its numbers work
SO rapidly, acted upon only about eighty. We
understand there were several bills charging de-fendants
with murder. The old citizens and
such as were called loyal during the days of the
Southern Confederacy are prosecuting the bush-whackers
and robbers : and, on the other hand,
the bushwhackers, who now s -t themselves up as
par excellence Union citizens, are indicting the
Militia officers and such as acted under their or-ders
for assaults and batteries, forcible trespas-ses,
false imprisonments and murder. The spir-it
of retaliation has just begun to move them and
it is difficult to tell bow far and to what ex-tremes
it may impel them. We greatly hope it
will soon expire, and that peace, concord and
brotherly regard may succeed it.
The civil docket, though large and many of
the cases important, was not taken up except
for rules and motions. Nor is it likely any*
thing can be done on it for some time, unless a
Court of Over and Terminer is appointed to
clear the criminal docket. It is highly impor-tant,
that this should be done. It yvould be an
advantage to the county revenue fund, foryvhero
so many as a thousand witnesses arc in atten-dance
upon a Court, there will necessarily fall a
great deal of costs upon the county. Besides
many of the citizens will be broken up by prose-cutions
and civil suits for damages. In every
instance where the officers of the law arrested
aged men and helpless women in order to make
them tell where their children were concealing
themselves, abused, mistreated and imprisoned
them, they are instituting both civii and crimi-nal
prosecutions.
Henry Cagle was tried on the charge of bur-glary
: but he was acquitted. We have heard
various opinions about his guilt. Of course,
we know nothing of our own knowledge as to
the merits of his case. We learn there were
other cases against him, and that, though one
case was moved to this county for trial, yet af-ter
this was done, his cases were all compromis-ed
by his submitting to a verdict of larceny,
whereupon judgment was suspended until next
Court, he agreeing to leave the State in two
months for good and for aye. No doubt, that
was the best disposition, which could have been
made of him under the circumstances. A smart
witness on that trial, we have heard, defined a
bushwhacker to be ■• a good Union man, a man
who did not rebel against the laws of his coun-try."
New coined meaning, this, for that word.
Had they been such devoted friends of the
great American Union and actuated by high
and honorable principles and patriotism, they
yvould have crossed the lines, joined the Federal
Army and fought for that Union instead of ly-ing
in the bushes, stealing, robbing and plun-dering.
We think that is an effort to put spa-
[ rious coin off upon the men of the North,

THE FKIKNDS AGAIN.—In confirmation of
our position, in regard to the Friends in this
State and the recent charges of persecution
against them, were'wanting, the following let-ter
to Gov. Worth fully settles the matter. The
source whence it emanates entitles it t'o the ful-lest
confidence:

not probably be issued for several days. The
proprietors of the several journals decided to re-duce
the wages of their employees twenty per

of their refusal to work on these terms,
the papers are eompelled to suspend publication
temporarily.
Proclamation by the President.
WASHINGTON, April 2.—The President
has issued a proclamation reciting former
Proclamations, and also quoting the reso-lutions
passed by each House of Congress
in July, 1801, namely:
" Resolved, That the present deplora-ble
civil war has been forced upon the
country by the disunionists of the South-ern
States now in revolt against the Con
stitntioaal Government, ami in arms around
the capital; that in this national emergen-cy,
that Congress, banishing all feeling ot
mere passion or resentment, will recollect
only its duty to the whole country ; that
this war is not waged on our part in any
spirit of oppression, nor for the purpose of
ovcrthrowingor interfering with the tights
or established institutions of those States,
but io maintain and defend the suprema-cy
of the Constitution, and to preserve
the Union, with all its rights, dignity, and
c'i«-..-.lity of the several Stated unimpaired;
and that, as soou as those objects arc ac-
(..-.ynplished, t.h«» war oti";ht to cea*P."
These resolutions, though not joint or
concurrent in form, are substantially iden-tical,
and as such may be regarded as hav-ing
expressed the sense of Congress upon
the subject to which they relate.
There now exists no organized armed
resistance of misguided citizens or others
to the authority of the United States in
the States of Georgia, South Carolina.
Virginia, North-Carolina, Tennessee, Ala-bama,
Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and
Florida, and the laws can be sustained and
enforced therein by the proper civil au-thority,
State or Federal, and the people
of the said States are well and loyally dis-posed,
and have conformed, or will eon-form
in their legislation, to the condition
of affairs growing out of the amendment
to the Constitution of the United Stales
prohibiting slavery within the limits and
jurisdiction of the United States.
For these and other reason, the 1'resi-dent
proclaims and declares that the in-surrection
which existed in the above
named States is at an end, and is hereaf-ter
to be so regarded.
Gov. Worth, yve see, has convened the Coun-cil
of State to meet on the 14th inst., but for
what purpose, yve know not.
The action of the 1T. S. Senate in turn-ing
out Senator Stockton, of New Jersey,
is a great outrage. Mr. Stockton is a dem-ocrat
and a supporter of the President.—
Since his election to the Senate, the radi-cals
have gained the ascendancy in the
New Jersey Legislature, and in order to
get Mr. Stockton one they contested his
seat on the ground that lie was elected by
a plurality and not a majority vote. The
Judiciary Committee of the TJ. S. Senate
made a report in favor of Mr. Stockton, so
clear was his right to the seat; but Suni-ner
and other ralical members resorted to
all sorts of tactics until they gained their
point and dismissed Stockton. When the
vote was taken on the report ofthe judicia-ry
committee, Senator Morrill of Maine,
although he had paired off with Mr. Wright
who was absent from sickness, voted
against the adoption of the report, thus
violating his pledge. Mr. Stockton, not
willing to be cheated out of his seat in
that way, voted for the report, and it was
adopted by one majority. But the next
day Mr. Stunner moved to strike out Mr.
Stockton's vote on the ground that he
ought not to be allowed to vote on bis own
case. This motion was carried by one ma-jority,
and consequently Mr. Stockton
lost his seat, and the Legislature of New
Jersey have the opportunity of electing a
radical and an enemy of the President in
his place.
In this way the radical disunionists
hope to get two-thirds of the Senate and
over-ride the President's vetoes. The
House of Representatives have already
turned out some supporters of the Presi-dent—
Voorhees of Indiana. Brooks of
Neyv York, and others—to make room for
radicals.

When you advocated the election

(Mr. Breckenridge,) we opposed you.
When you said the election of Lincoln
yvould be good cause to "shatter" the
Constitution of the United States, yve said
nay ! When you plead for secession, we
plead against it; when you plead for a
"beloved Confederacy" yve plead against
it until pleading was of no use. And now
you have the unblushing impudence to
taunt us yvitb a hankering desire to "re-store
the Constitution of a Confederacy
you tried to make, but failed. Had you
succeeded in it, you would have claimed
all the credit and "glory" with the same
zeal that you now denounce it because it
failed.—Dan cille Times.

place on Saturday, and tailed instantly.—

Missouri, and Kentucky deliberately to
decide their own destiny ; and they will
accept nothingfrom, the North but the
fullest and most unqualified acknowledge-ment
of the independence of the Confed-erate
States."—Standard, July 1st, 1862.

will extend no aid to him in any et-fort
tocoeice'tlie Confederate States. The

by the tread of armed men sent to

The Standard of the 17th, containing
thi above, was issued before Tin Register
iit'the same date was issued, and before
the reply of Gov. Eilis refusing troops,
was printed—thus placing me ahead of
both Ts\e Register and the Governor in
defying and denouncing Lincoln. And
