THE SOLDIERS TO BE PAID! Good News If True. c The following comes to us in the shape of a telegraphic dispatch from Washington : Washington March 21. The Secretary of the Treasury has placed in the hands of the ' Paymaster-Genera) here a sufficient supply of money lo pay the entire army up to the 1st ofj March. Sufficient has also been pent at.d - reachoi its destination, to pay the entire Army of the West. ..... We earnestly hope that this statement may prove to be correct. It will je gratifying news to the poor soldiers, many of whom have not received a cent of pay for nearly a year ; and it will be doubly gratifying to their destitute end suHVring families. - The soldiers' wages, even if promptly and regularly paid, ar whollj inadequate for their support, especially in times like the present, when the necessaries of life and every article of clothing have fully doubled in price. We are in tavor of the jldiers' pay being increas- ed at lesst one-third more than it is at present, and as soon as the next Democratic Congress comes into power, we shall insist upon the passage of a law to reduce the jay of the offi- cers. and to increane that of the private soldiers. What say our brethren of the Democratic press to this? Incendiarism. A son. of David Iluber, of Pleasant tovrn-'eliip. remarked in the hearing of several, as we are positively informeil. that he was ready to lead a band of men to bum the houfe and ; barns of secessionists,' (meaning Dunocrata.) I this the terrible programme of the Repl.li--can U. L." thus lea keti out. by an irutirt-i-eet 'member?

The burning of Democratic barns in . Indiana during the progress of an Abolition meeting, and the late attempt to fire the Cm is 'office at Columbus, are some of the bitter irHita ofiaiwjg a bigoted, Mgtjo", ,fnif'Cnl . .party in power, v While this state of sot;iety exists, every Democrat should be ready to defend himself and hit property at all times, to - V thertmter end." We may expect a continuation of these lawless and wicked proceedings -until Mr, Lincoln's term of office expires, when the Democracy will come into power again. We advice our friends to be patient, cool and -law-abiding; but true, determined and, coura-.. geous. ' ' ITew Democratic Paper in Washington. . Hon. Thomas B. Florence, for many years a prominent and influential Mcmier of Con gress from Philadelphia, and a Democrat of the true stamp, has commenced the publica-iion of a new Democratic paper in Washing, t on City, under the title of the Constitutional Union, which has the warm recommendation of ail the Democratic members of the late Congress.' It Ts for the present published Weekly but will be issued Daily as soon as the patron-age will warrant .it- : We- have not yet seen the paper, but the following extract from its 'eblums will iu'dicate its character: - ; : '- r Th madness and folly of abolitionism have not only involved us in a deplorable civil war ! but they have brought us to the very verge 'of anarchy ! It is the high and and hrly inis-aion of the Democracy to rescue our beloved country from the fiery abyss into which blind fanaticism and mad ambition would hurl it. And the Democracy can and will do it! Alreadv. ; in State after State, the conservative Denio- crai,c Classes have risen in the majesty of " their strength, and swept from power the black T hearted demagogogues who have prosu'tuted nign places oi trust, to subserve their own base and selfish purposes, at the expense of -T the life, and blood.-and treasure of the nation. .Two years of abolition misrule have caused the scales to drop from the eyes of many a too confiJina constituency, and they now see, in all its nakct deformity,, thia demon of abolition, which under. the gaW of Republicanium, . lays violentJianhj upon the. Constitution, and threatens to subvert the liberties of.tlie people. -The conservative masses throughout - the' land ?bave resolved to hurl the usurpers from power; ; thev handwriting is already on the wall: like the mighty a well of ocean, the heaving tide of i PemecraCT begins to move the political sea: rand soon the good old ship of State,''manned -by a brave and atoray Democratic crew; will tie' seen prondly careering over lta . placid wa- - ters, beneath bright and tranquil skies. ; Utgro Insnrreetipnary Expedition: t . .

Episcopal Recorder aq . acknowledged organ' of the Trotestant Episcopal Churchj takes' the Tollowin just and' sensible' view of the refusal of Congress 'lo:.exem'pt' clergymen from liability to the drafts s'; . .. ,' , '"Nor will there be any serioas consequences from the refusal to grant this exemption.' Wherever a minister of the Gospel is useful to his people, and preaches faithfully to them of Christ, they will gladly contribute, for his relief the three haD&r-dollars the law prescribes for commutation. Should they not be ready to do this, or should the drafted minister be without a church connection which will pay this amount for bis-discharge, we cannot see that he has any public claims to be excused from the performance of that service, which, distasteful as it may be. every loyal citizen is now called upon to render." We are willing that every truly Christian minister- shall be exempt from the coming draft ; but every one of them who has preached politics instead of the gospel of Christ, should le forced into the army, and compelled to stand in the front ranks in every battle. That is the only thing we know of that will cure them of that disease called " Nigger on the Brain." Bounty to Discharged Soldiers. The following is a copy of the sixth section of an act passed at the last session of Congress, entitled " An Act to promote the efficiency of the Corps of Engineers, and for other purposes:" '-.-.'.,;--.'. .':-:',;':.''.-: Section 6. And be it further enacted, That all payments of advanced bounties to enlisted men who have I een discharged before serving out the time required by law for its payment in full, shall be allowed in the settlement of the accounts of the paymasters at the Treasury, but hereafter, in all such cases, the amount so advanced shall le charged against the enlisted men, -unless the discharge be upon surgeon's certificate for wounds received or sickness incurred since their last enlistment. It appears from the above that those soldiers who are discharged sick or wounded, are to have the benefit , of their bounty advance without deduction, and that all other discharged soldiers are to have the advance! bounty deducted from their pay at the time of final settlement. Row in Canton Ohio. The Democrats, of Stark county had a mass meeting in Canton, on the Cth inet.. Dr. Olds and Hon. G. L. Converse were the speakers. WhiIeMr. Converse was spraking an assault was made on some Democratic boys Btanding outside of the crowd. The Democrat says, 'Pistols and knives were drawn on them, and for a few minutes the oppoer of free speech were likely to prevail. But the Democratic boys soon rallied and sweept all before them, and had it not been for older heads., would have followed up their advantage, and inflicted severer chastisement upon the gettera up of mob law..- A Democrat while standing jieaeea-b!y was stabbed in the back by a Republican youth. A young Republican, when aiming a pistol at a Democrat, was hit by a stone on the nose. The blow broke his nose and knocked him down. - These are the only casualties worth mentioning." The Soldiers Want the Abolitionists to do the Fighting. A Clermont county soldier (who was a Republican when he volunteered.) now that the war has been converted by the Abolitionists into an engine to give freedom to the slave," thinks that the Abolitionists and the niggers should be compelled to do the . fighting. A most capital idea, that! The writer says : There is great excitement aWut the President's Emancipation ; Proclamation and the bill for arming the Negroes. The latter is denounced with the bitter imprecations, and all our men swear, to a man. that they will rebel and kill every negro that is brought in. - Now, for my part, if they would place the Negroes and Abolitionists in the front and make them do all the fighting, I should not care. But so long as I ha any fighting to do I do not want either of t lief e tribes in the field, for it would be a disgrace to the arms of America. When I say thev, I mean both, Negroes and Abolitionists for I have no more respect for the one than the other if any:: difference, -I abhor the Abolitionists -most. " - - Western Cotton Speculation. A St. Louis correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, noticing certain charges against Geni Curtis (the hero of Pea Ridge, Prairie Grove, Ilartsville and Springfield,) in connection with the cotton trade, writes as follows : I mderstand that Gen.

The iollowing extract is from Mr. Voda-HErs late speech in New Yorki- "We copy it because it is as true as Holy -Writ r'- ' .-'f " V Mr. Voorhees read - from - the -debates In Congress, showing that Douglas said, in the Thirty-sixth Congress that , if his party had triumphed in the last election, the people of the Southern States Would have rested in the: security that they were safe, and the Union would never have been dissolved.; Washing- I ton, Jefferson, Jackson, Clay and, Webster predicted that the- result of a sectional, party ' would be disunion and civil war, and yet the Republicans are excessively sensitive about being charged as the authors of this war. I am sure, said the speaker, if I felt that the blood of this war was iu any way on my hands, or that any vote of my hand had brought into existence this thousand miles -of graves upon the borders of the South had caused this mourning of mothers for their first-born, like Rachael weeping for her children because they are not; if I thought that I was responsible by word or deed for this war, I should feel that upon my fingers was the blood, red damned spot of murder that would incarnadine great Neptune's wave, and that all the waters in the ocean would not wash out. Great applause, and "three cheers for Voorhees, the patriot" given, heartily. There would be no res pose for me this side Or the other of the grave. I would have to have a lighted candle in my room to -keep away spectators of the murdered dead slain in battle. I thank God to night, and love to look in the faces of an audience that participate iu the feel ing, that no Democrat has to take the guilt of this great crime against nature and humanity. You know' it well that if every-body . had voted as you voted, and; talked as you talked, and minded their own business as you minded yours, and let the slave States alone in sla very, and let them have the guarantees of the Constitution- who does not know: that there would have been peace and Union before today ? - The man who pretends he don't know it falsifies his own internal convictions. Every man knows it. He who stands before you : and says it is not true don't, even represent his own heart. It is an instinctive feeling in your breast, and you know it. Consequently; when you ask this question of Republicans, how anxious, nervous, and sensitive they are; ; how ouicklv thev out un their hands and sav. vLet's argue this question when the war is 'over;' it is like Banquo s ghost threatening Macleth. 1 heir eyeballs are seared by he awful eight. They afck that the day of reckoning may be postponed: like some guilty wretch upon the verge of hell ileelf. they nay, 'Forbear a few days: let us not discuss these questions npw." How loving they are with Democrats that will give them time with men who w:ll agree to say, " We will speak of these things when the war is over." Ah, gentlemen, short accounts and quick settlements are lest. tireat cheering. I propose to settle this account all aloi.g the line. It is beet to do so, because they will be asking us to trust them again directly.: How Lincoln Inculcated "Treason." It is oftenjsaid that Calhoun instilled iu-to the public mind, the doctrines from which has sprung "the heresy of secession." The following shows that the responsibility docs uot rest on Calhoun alone: Any people, anywhere, being inclined and havingthe power, have the right to rise up and shake of the existing-Government, and form anew one that suits them better. This is a most valuable, a most sacred right a right which, we hope and believe, is to liberate the world. A'or is this right confined to case in which the whole people of an existing Government may choose lo exercise it. As v portion of such people that can mav revolutionize and make their own of so much of the territory as they inhabit. More than this: a majority of any portion of such people may revolu lionize; putting down a minority intermingled with or near about them, who may oppose their movements. Such minority was precisely the case of the Tories of our own revolution. It is a quality of revolutions not to go by old lines or old laws, but to break up both and make new ones. Extract from J'resid'ent JAncoln's speech in the House of Representative", January 12A, 1848. See Appendix to Congress sional Globe, first session, Thirtieth Congress, page A Great Outrage on the Tapis in Co- lumbns. ; ..- : ; Yesterday Mr. Dressel, one of the Representatives from the county of Franklin, offered a series of resolutions iu the Ohio House of Representative. They are substantially those adopted by the Democracy of Connecticut, at their State Convention at "Hartford, : a few weeks ago, which resolutions - were published in the Enquirer at the time. The resolutions will be indorsed by the people of Connecticut, at the coming April election, by the choice of the Democratic ticket by a large majority . These resolutions, which are thus approved by a New England State, were made the occasion of a gross Insult to the ' principle of a representative Government.- One1 West, of Logan county, who was defeated for Congress io his district last fall, who is repudiated by the people, had the audacity to, offer a resolution expelling Mr, Dressel from his .seat, for favoring the resolution of the people of Connecticut. We do not recollect of such a proposal ever Wing offered to a legislative body as that of West. If it should be adopted, tt would be a terrible blow at representative popular Government..; Jfihema,orityTcan expel a minority because they do not like their . sentiments, then onr legislative bodies are a.gross humbug, and we shall never have another one entire in Ohio. , The Ohio Legislature has as much right to make a King, aa they have to expel MrvDresel-for bis resolutions., ,Tbe idea that the fastidious majority shouldlbraud as " disloyal" resolutions that are approved by , th people of such a State s Connecticut, is rich extremely so I ,;We wait, the upshot of ibis matter with great interest.;.
