Begin With tb© First Offender*—'Treat nil
Alike.
The following appears in an Indiana paper.
We have no doubt the editor's proposition is
very distasteful to the Abolition “powers that
be." It has more conservatism and firmness in
it than can be found every day in Northern
latitudes just now—though it is au unfair
proposition. The Northern Legislatures—ev
ery one, without exception—have passed laws,
either in direct contravention of the Act of
Congress for the rendition of fugitive slaves,
or that were intended in some way to embar
rass its free, fair and honest execution. Yet,
these States, which have so long set the laws
of the Union at defiance, have still cluog to it—
characteristic of a people who are mean spir
ited and unprincipled—and are now foremost
and most loud-mouthed in crying out that we
have violated the Union, and dishonored its
flag, and have marched their invading hosts
upon our soil to compel us to remain in the
Union against our will. We have never been
guilty of the folly and wickedness of refusing
to abide by any law and trying to force otbeis
to observe it, nor of defying the laws and au
thority of the Government, and still dinging
to it. Neither have we left the Union ou ac
count of any diseatisfsction with the Constitu
tion, or of any of the laws of Congress—griev
ous, oppressive aad unjust to us as some of
them were. The enemies of the Conalitutioa
have control of the Government—those who
have always set its provisions at defiance, and
have labored to uproot the ancient landmarks
of freedom, which alone secured our adherence
to it. These men, who have always set them
selves above the obligations of the Constitu
tion, are now wielding all the power and re
sources of the General Government, in open
violation of rtain Constitutional provisions
and judicially settled principles of Constitu
tional law and obligations, to impose their sub
versive and revolutionary dogmas upon us.—
This is why we have seceded. We have acted
houostly and not like hypocrites, as they have
been doing for years, and are doing now. They
have laid ruthless hands on the Constitution to
destroy it—we have rescued it from their fa
tal grasp, and shall die in its defense, if need
be.
Then we submit, that our condition is not
like those who defy the authority of the Con
stitution and the laws of the Union, and still
cling to it; and try to force others, against
their will, to do so, when the provisions of the
Constitution are sot at naught by the General,
as well m the State, Governments:
“ We do not know what the plans of the Ad
ministration (ire to briDg about a settlement of
our difficulties—neither is it known what steps
Congress will take in the matter when they
meet. We think the best plan that could be
adopted to prevent a civil war would be for
Congress to commence at the root of all this
difficulty, and authorize the President to em
ploy the necessary fores to compel all the
Slates that have violated the Constitution of
the United States to place themselves tight,
under its provisions.
“In the first place, Congress should authorize
the President to issue bis proclamation to those
Northern States that have upon their statute-
books laws obstructing the execution of the
laws of the United States, by calling together
at a given time their Legislatures and repeal
their illegal lews; and if they refuse to do so
at the end of the time given, invest him with
authority to call out a sufficient force to take
military possession of them end bold them
until they comply with the provisions of the
Constitution. When they briDg these States
back to the Constitution, then let the President
issue his proclamation to the Southern States
that have violated the Constitution to return
iu a given time; and if they refuse, take pos
session of them and hold them until they come
to terms.
“ If such a eourse was pursued, we believe
the whole difficulty could be settled and a war
prevented. Ii would at once, we thick, bring
all the conservative tnen, both North and
South, into concert of aotioo, and enable them
to act efficiently with the Government in put
ting down the extrerao me in both sections of
the country. There would tbeu be a standard
in both sections which Union meu oould rally
around with a hope of being protected.
“Indiana has always remained true to the
letter of tho compact, and can, with propriety,
interfere in this matter, and demand that all
the States should be required to place them
selves within the provisions of the Constitu
tion. Gur Legislature meets again next week,
and we hope they will pass a joint resolution
instructing our Senators and requesting our
Representatives to favor some plan by whioh
sit the States will be required to plaoe them
selves within the provisions of the Constitu
tion, both North.and South. To force one por.
lion to snbmit end come into terms for a vio
lation of the Constitution, while we permit
others to go scot-free for doing the same tbiog,
is cot dealing out “ equal and exaekjusiice to
all ” Pal all throngs alike, te oar Motto, and
com rat nee with the first violator*, and ooatin-

* Give Credit Again.
The Columbus “Times" copies oar shortno-
tice of General Scott’s Message to Secretary
Toombs, and his answer thereto, la the shape
of an ear of green corn, and credits it to the
“lotaliigenoer." Several of our exchanges
have oopied that article without giving any
credit whatever. Come, brethren of the pros,
be a little more careful. Every editor knows
how unpleasant it is to see his effusions, wheth
er important or not, straying roand like a lost
child, whose wants, destitution, or orphanage,
are neither noticed cr cared for by any one.—
We know that mistakes occur, but we do be
lieve that, with care, they would be lese fre

Col. Ellsworth’s Last Letter.
We find in the New York Sun the following
letter from the late Col. Ellsworth, on the eve
of his march to Alexandria, written to his pa
rents, the last one to them, and probably the
last written communication to any one:
Head-Quarters, Finsr Zouaves, l
Camp Lincoln, Washington, May 23. j
My Dear Father and Mother: The rsgiraent
is ordered to move across the river to-night.—
We have no means of knowing what reception
we are to meet with. I am inclined to the
opinion that our entrance to the city of Alex
andria will be hotly contested, as I am just
informed that a large force have arrived there
to day. Should this happen, ray dear parents,
it may be my lot to be injured in some man
ner. Whatever may happen, cherish the con
solation that I was engaged iu the performance
of a sacred duty, and to-night, thinking over
the probabilities of the morrow, and the oc
currences of the past, I am perfectly content
to accept whatever my fortune may be, confi
dent that He who noteth even the fell of a
sparrow, will have some purpose even in the
fate of one like me. My darling and ever loved
! >erents, good bye. God bless, protect and care
or vou. ELMER.
The Fight at Fairfax.
The telegraph about the fight or skirmish at
Fairfax Court House was so unintelligible that
we qould get but little satisfaction from it,
whieh we find to be the case with our cotem
poraries. Some stated that the Confederate
troops retreated—others the reverse. The New
York Post has the following, which we suppose
settles the matter;
New York, June J.—The Post says Lieuten
ants Tompkins and Gordon, with infaotry and
cavalry, attacked Fairfax Court House The
pickets wore met four miles this side, and driv
en in. The cavalry charged on the towD, en
countering vigorous resistance, the people firing
from the houses. Tompkins' hone was shot
aud his cavalry surrounded, but they escaped.
Another altack was meditated. Fifty were
wounded.
ffW'Tbe Louisville (Ky.) Courier says: “The
Administration reluctantly consented to fur
nish arms to its supporters in Kentucky—not
that it cared for the laws it was violating, or
the torrible consequences that might follow
this infamous attempt to arm one portion of
the people of the State against their neighbors
and friends and kinsmen, bnt because it was
afraid to trust its allies here.
“Its fears, we have reason to know, were not
groandieee. Three arms, in many instances,
are going into the hands of good, la v-abiding,
loyal Southern citisens, who will never aid
Mr. Lincoln in his damnable usurpations of
power and infernal attempts on the liberties
of tho people, but who will deem it a sacred
duty to assist, with these arms, the cohorts
whieh may be sent to subjugate Kentucky as
Mtryland and Missouri have been temporarily
subjugated.
“In conversation with an honorableand high-
minded gentleman, who has the distributien
of theee arms in an important section of the
Btate, a few daye eince, he frankly said that
they were in the main going Into the hands of
those who would use them to drive Lincoln’s
treope hack should they march into hiq county
or vicinityI
“And a Captain of a large company who have
received theee gune, so unlawfully die triha tod
la this Btate by theee whose duty It Is to ex«-
cate the laws, assured a friend ef ours, not two
days ago, that his command would never fire e
Shot for Lincoln against Kentuckians or South
ern soldlera.”

never “had a bard time of it here.” His
statement that the verdiot is given aa soon as

ask a man to speak, upon whose meritn any
other than a favorable verdict could be given.
This * verdict” is always mada up before the

The American Tract Society.
In our issue of the 2d instant, we published
a short account of the anniversary proceedings
of this Society, showing that it, too, bad turned
against the South—that 8outh which had al
ways sustained it with a lavish hand, and had
made it what it is. That short article con
tained the following:
“ During the month of March last the follow
ing sums were contributed to this society from
the South:
Delaware,
Maryland,
D. of Columbia,
Virginia,
N. Carolina
.$ 7 ftO
.788 81
.. 8,'* 00
..267 70

“ We observe, in addition, that a legacy was
bequeathed by the late John R. Ball, of Abbe
ville, S. C , of $1,043 ; also, legacies from the
Lambert estate, (Georgia,) $25; and Jab. Ca
ruth, Tennessee, $100. There are, besides,
many individual donations from the Scutb.”
On this matter, we made the following re
marks :
“ We had no idea, until we saw the fore
going, that there were enough of disloyal men
in the South to make (be foregoing contribu
(ions. Juat think of it 1 Men in Georgia, it
March last, contributing to this concern in
Yankeedom 1 Who are they ? Will they ever
give any ihiug more* Are they frieuds or
enemies to the South ? These are important
questions.”
We now take very great pleasure in laving
before our readers the following response,
which comes from a source that is entirely re
liable, the writer having a thorough knowl
edge of the operations and interests of the So
ciety in the South, and particularly in Geor
gia. It affords us the more gratification, as it
shows that none of the cyotributore of the
foregoing $483.02 in Georgia, are or were ever
disloyal, as we at first supposed might be the
esse; sod we have no doubt that the contribu
tions from most of the other Southern States
were made under similar circumstances. We
are informed that the late Tract Agent in Geor
gia has not, for months, remitted one cent to
the Society:
CONTRIBUTORS TO THE TRACT SOCIETY.
That euoh men are not “disloyal to the
South, or ever were, will appear from tha fol
lowing facte, vis: That the greater part of the
contributions, $483.00, acknowledged as given
to its funds, has been faithfully expended in
Georgia, and in many instances at tho express
wish of the donora that such funds should not
be sent North. The legacy of $2& from the
Lambert estate, was not placed to the Society's
account until the Agent assured the executor's
that it was hit intention to disburse it in Geor.
gia where it was much needed, and where, ac-
cordingly, it has been used. The most of these
contributions were applied to paying oil col
porteurs—our own men—and who for years,
some of them, have sacrificed time and energy
in laboring within our bounds.
Again, many contribntions acknowledge in
the March number of the Messenger, were
made previous to that month, in January,
when as yet a peaceful adjustment of our diffi
culties was anticipated by msay Christian
hsarts; and this Institution, having then
shown no political bias, was regarded by its
Southern Agent and friends as a safe conser
vative channel through which to contribute to
the cause of the Redeemer, not that of section
alism.
To the query, “Will they ever give anything
more”? it may be replied, that the official
Agency of this Society in Georgia has now
ceased. A. C. 8.

Ihe American War lu Paris— Freuuh Of
ficers Tendering tbclr Services, Ac.
The Paris correspondent of the Mobile Reg
ister, writing under date of the 7th of May,
says:
France and England will neither espouse the
quarrel of the North nor that of the South;
nor will the Confederate flag be recognized
until peace is restored and the division of the
Union is established beyond a peradventure.—
This may be relied upon as certain.
For several weeks past, Mr. Faulkner has
been besieged with applications from French
officers, tendering their services, some desirous
of engaging in the army of the United Slates,
and some in the army of the Confederate States.
These applications to the United Buies Minis
ter are constant, and are made not only by
letter, but frequently in person. AtnoDg the
officers, bare been several of superior rank,
and there are few of the entire number Jwbo
cannot point to tbeir medals and decorations,
won upon the hard fought fields of the Crimea
aud Italy. They are principally young men
of ambition and enterprise, who express them
selves satisfied with tbeir present service, but
claim that promotion ia alow. So numerous
have been and continue to be these offers, that
Mr. Faulkner has been compelled to prepares
circular, stating that he has no authority to
accept or encourage any such tenders of ser-
vioe; that be still oterishes the hope that the
horrors of an intestine war may yet be spared
the people of the United Slates of America,
but if that dreadful calamity should befal the
Republic, tbe wide diffusion of military edu
cation throughout every section of the United
States—North. South, East and Weat— would
render the belligerents entirely independent
of the aid of foreign skill and experience.—
This incident alone proves how wide-spread is
the interest felt for us by our ancient and al
ways chivalrous allies. In thesa applications
there is the old martial spirit and restless lore
of adventure which has ever distinguished the
French soldier, his sympathies inflamed in
favor of the cause he beiievee to be jnat, and
ready to draw bia sword in its defense. If the
services of these volunteers were accepted, the
world would perhaps soon witness tbe speeta-
cle of both Americans and Frenchmen shed
ding their brother's blood !
Tbe Mask Thrown Off.
It will not be a manor of surprise to those
who have studied the oourae of reoent events
that such language ae the annexed is found to
tbe journal recognizad aa Mr. Seward’s or
gan—Tbe Times of this city. The last two
words in italics are not so emphathized by
us:
“There is another reosou why Virginia
should be the battle field of all the seceding
8taies. She has been the greatest offender. She,
wore than any other State, Is responsible for
the great rebellion. Her spirit is tbe most
vindiotive and intolerant of all. A juat retri
bution is already upon her. In a few days
mor# a hundred Vitusand fighting nun will fo
on m Jicr soil, which will be dccastated by the terri
ble storm of war, her people driren front their
homes, thei r flelds'filasted^ their property^destroy
ed, and their great institution at the mercy of
their foes. Virginia should never have been a
slave Siate. For tbe first time in her history,
it is in our poieet to make it n free one.”
We cannot overlook our duty, when the
mask ia thus thrown off—thus openly and
without reservation, an it hat been hitherto,
on several occasions, by lue Evening Post,
The Courier and Enquirer and Tbe Tribune.
We regard ibis avowed purpose of those carry -
ing on the war as sufficiently palpable. No
Democrat now needs doubt as to what ha is to
fight for. It ie for tho abolition of slavery. Ii
is for the expulsion of slaves from the soil of
Virginia; and, whan that is accomplished,
from every other State invaded by the “Grand
Army of the United States.'’ If by any pos
sibility we have misconstrued this language,
we Would be advised of car error; but we
eaonoi perceive that tba words can boar any
ether aseoaiog than that whioh wo bnvo giv
en to them.
They Sell the great Democratic party of
this Qity, of this Sialo end of the country,
what is ihe intention in invading Virginia. It
ia not to prestrve any rights, hut U Is to an
al hiloto property, tn set the slaves free, and
to hazard all tho horrors of n servile foenrreo-
lien for tbe take ef a victory over subjugated
brethren. Let us no longer deceive ourselves,

Lint lor the Wounded.
Dr. J. C. Nott, n surgeon of acknowledged
skill, communicates the following to tbe Mo
bile Register:
Missus. Editors: In my dally retlBde I see
our ladies wearing out their ftogera and eyes
in nicking lint for our brnvn soldiers, and
while I admire their patriotism and charity, I
hope I may be permitted to say, that I tbiok
they are, for want of information, throwing
away much time which might be more use
fully spent.
Oman cotton ia eaaily obtained in any quan
tity, and answers juat aa well for dressing
wounds as the ordinary hat.
The “patent lint,” commonly used by sur
geons, is all, or nearly aJJ, made of cotton —
Some of the best European surgeons use the
cotton wool in preference to lint—everybody
uses cotton as n dressing for a burn, the most
intense of all inflammation*.
Tv these facts I may odd my ow'd ample ex
perience. I have for year* been in the hnbit
of using good sample cotton and lint indiscrim
inate!;, in dressing wounds of all kinds, and
e>u)d never see any differance.
Whenever a gun is fired I shall be on the
field, and take care to have a good supply of
cotton, which ia one of the moat useful articles
a surgeon can Lave about a hospital for various
purposes, and one of its most important uses
is a padding for splint. J. C. NOTT.

in my body, or n drop of blood in my veins.
This ia my firm and rtsolute purpose; for
this I am prepared; and my mobocratio friends
may govern themselves accordingly, lf I fall
in such a cause, I know I shall have avengers
enough. Tbe people of this oountry have pot
yet become ao dead to tbn snored birthright of
Liberty, bequeathed to them by our fathers,
aa to see it violated in tbs psrson of tbs hum
blest and not avenge tbe outrage. If they
have, they have become unworthy of tbe free
dom which they enjoy, and the Republie is
not worth maintaining.
