metntv. But here are a fow of the fasts :
After Congress had declared war, the lower
house of the Legialature declared that “ the
real eauee of the war ” wee an “ abandon meat
of the polio/ of Wash I agio a, aod Abe friends
end framer# of the Oeoetirattan/*—« the inflo-
•dC« of worthless foreigners over the prom and
the Government in all Its branches; a jeal
ouay of lira commercial States, (meaning the
New Ragland State*,) fear of their power, oon-
tempt for their pursuits, end ignorance of their
character and importance) and a violent pas-
•ion for conquest."
The Stale Senate reeolrtd that “ the wsr was
founded la falsehood end declared without ne-
ceeaity,
A combination was formed throughout the
New fieglaed States to defeat the eflorts of the
Government to obtain money to carry on the
war. This conspiracy bad its heed quarters
in Boston, end Its influence to prevent thatch
ing of loans authorised by Congress extended
far and wide, and was most severely felt.
The Boston Gasette said: ** It is very grate
ful to find that the universal sentiment is, that
any man who lends his money to the Govern
ment, at the present time, roill forfeit all claim
to common honesty and common courtesy among
tke true friends of the country.”
Again : * Our merchants constitute airdionor-
able, high minded, independent and intelli
gent class of citisens. They feel the oppree-
sioo, Injury and mockery with which they are
treated by the GoTcrnment. [The war inter
rupted their shipping and trade.—Eds. Cow
fbdekacv ] They will lend them money to
retrace tboir steps, but none to persevere in
tbeir present course. Let every highwayman
fi»d his awn pistols."
They made the war eo odious, that subscrip
tions to the Government loan were made se
cretly. Take the following advertisement,
wnich waa issued in Boston, by an agent of the
Government to recoive subscription! to th«
I an to carry on tho war, as an example:
Ths Loam.—Subscriptions will be received
through the agency of tho subscriber, to the
2<tb instant, inclusive.
To avoid the inconvenience of personal ap
p arenas to subscribe, applications in writing
will be received from any part of the Bute. •
e o Toe amount, rate, and name, of any
applicant, shall, at his request, be known only
tj the subscriber. Jams Pctiak.
80 odious was the war made, and eo hitter
was opposition to it, that the Boston merchants
defrauded the Government out of ile revenue
by smuggling, and found public sentiment to
sustain them—eo great was their society de
moralised and degraded.
One of the leaders of Uie smuggling busi
ness wr< te as follows: * Admi'atetrallou hire
lings may rerile the Northern States, and the
merchants generally; • • • bwt there is
a just God who knows how to trace tho canees
of human events: and h# will assuredly visit
upon the authors of this war all the iniquities
of which it baa been the occasion."
The Rev. Eltjnh Parsons, of Byfleld, said in
a sermon : ** How will the supporters of this
anti-Christian warfare eadore their sentence
• so endure the fire that forever burns—
(he worm which never dies—the hosannahs of
Heaven—while the smoke oj their torment as
cends forever und ever.”
Rev. If r. Osgood, at Medford said : ** Each
man who volunteers his services in such a
cause, or loans hfs money for Sin support, • *
• is an accomplice in the wickedness—loads
hie conscience with the blackest crimes—
brings the guilt of blood upon his soul, and in ths
sight of Ood and His law, is a murderer/'
This it the encouragement the United States
received at the heeds of the Government end
people of Massachusetts, during the war of
UI3. They have the same characteristics this
day, and nothing could be more unprincipled
and selfish than the war they are now making
on the South. We have not assailed tbeir in-
torests.or tried to interfere with tboir domestic
atfairs. In all our natloaal straggles and trials*
they have either stood by unconcerned, given
aid and comfort to the enemy, or raised their
traitorous hands to strike at ui a cowardly fra
tricidal blow.
They are now exasperated, as a hungry rav
enous beast, that has just missed his prey; and,
in their fury, utter greet swelling words, end
threeten terrible things. Tbeir rage will be
impotent. They thought that, because we bed
endured the advantages they had al -rays secur
ed from us by their sectional, perfidious end
corrupt legislation, we would bear any burdens,
ani submit to any terms they might see fit te
dictate. They find they are mistaken—that in
their eager efforts U grasp morn from at, they
hate lost what they had) hence, the howl they
have set op, and tha furious demon rage Into
which they hove leaked themselves.
The daj of God's wrathful visitation is upon
them. They ere new rasping the bitter fruits
of their own siufalusee. In this contest, we
•hall triumph most gloriously, and the Impe
rious dictation of Massachusetts shell he laid

Liscolb’s Wit or fiuaiuoatiov —It bavin;
been made known that Hon. John Beil wonli
address tke people at the Court House last night
on the condition of public affairs, an immense
crowd assembled. He spoke for about three-
quarters of an hour, stating, in effect, so far ••
present duties end responsibilities are concern
ed, the past is a sealed book. The time for ac
tion and unity of action in the South had ar
rived, and he wee for staadiag by tho South,
end defending the South, all the South, egeinat
the unnecessary, cruel, unjust, aod wanton war
which is being forced upon ue. He recounted,
et some length, the efforts which ho had made
in the past, and especially with the present
administration, to avert this war, and tbe hopes
he had cherished for the preservation of peace
but those hopes had now vanished, end our du
ty was te defend oorselvee, end to make oot
mon cause with all our sister slaveholding
States of tbe South against a common invad
ing foe. He advocated a strong and effective
military league, or union, among all tbe slave-
holding States, for the successful prosecution of
the war; but declined to discuss the question
relating to the time and manner and character
of a political connection, which he considered
more appropriate for a future time. He was for
arming tbe State, and organising and equip
pint tbe militia, in the amplest and moat ef
fective way possible under the circumstances.

Treason*
Dr. Metcalf, a dentist in New Orleans, and
a native of New England, wae lately arretted,
on a charge of baviag uttered seditious lan
guage, upon tbe oath of A. A. Watkins, whose
affidavit seta forth :
That, on the night of Monday, the 15th of
March, 1881, in the Fourth District of the city,
one Dr. Metcalf ottered seditious langnagi
against the Government, making use of the
expressions, that ‘Lincoln was a second Jack-
eon, and that if he was in Lincoln’s place, he
would ley Charleston in ashes; and that ha
would have the levees cut in this State ?’ and
r incendiary language, all of which show
ed that ha (Metcalf) waa adhering to the ene
anise of the Scale.
Wherefore, he chargee the said Dr. Metcalf
with treason against the State, contrary to tbe
state tee and against the peace and dignity ol
the State.”
Tbe following ie the law of Louisiana, by
virtue of which the charge has been made:
Offence# against the State and Public Jos
tice—Sec. 56. Treason agaioit the State shall
consist only in levying war against it, or in
adhering to ita enemies, giving them aid and
comfort. No person shall be convicted ol trees-
an oaleee on the testimony of two witaeeeee to
tbe tame overt aet, or hie own confession in
open court. Whoever shall be guilty of the
crime of treason shall suffer death.
He was arretted, and brought before one of
the city Recorders, who refused to take bail in
the case, end held him for a farther hearing,
and for consultation with tha District Attorney,
before taking any definite action.
Extraordinary News.
Our neighbor, the •' Intelligencer,” of yts-
tarday morning, bad the following item in its
telegraphic column:
*' Lieutenant Jenifer is reported to have des
troyed Farther Point.”
Lieut. Jenifer is an officer in the U. S. Army
Farther Point is where the foreign news from
incoming European steamer* io first received
by Carrier Pigeons sent out from the steam ere,
before they arrive.
What object the U. 8. Government een have
in destroying Farther Point we cannot see;
and we do not believe Lieut. Jenifer or any
other officer in old Abe'a Government could
have marched through the British Possessions
to Farther Point, and deetroyed it, without
meeting with serious resistance from Queen
Victoria’s loyal subjects, which we should have
heard of before this.
Further: we have engaged the Telegraph
Company to furnish us all tha news of aoy im
portance, from every quarter; and we did not
raoeivn tbe intelligence which our neighbor
has concerning the deetraetion of Farther
Point.
We cannot help thinking there must be some
mistake about this matter.
