(he fact remains that by n r (he Inrgi r proportion of

They do this, firstly, because they like to; and

In such a dilemma, a quiet man's boat course is to
take up his hat ami walk out, thanking fortune that
he has been swindled out of no more than a quarter
or half a dollar.
It is not advisable to hi-i at ktlnres. even though

by making a martyr of bim. Rather slay away
from bis lecture the nest time he appears ia your
city, town or village. Keep aloof from him, under

" When wo get more than we want, General," re-
plied Litley," 1 will tend them."
The next expedient adopted was to frighten tbo
Colonel; nnd ecandnl inplicules Gov. Robinson in
the conspiracy. Tho rebel sympathisers of George-
lown gave out word lhat unless their negroes were
forthcoming they would inob ibe Twenty-second as
issed through that place, and tako away tbe

ject by sending forward all tbo olher regiments, leav-
'
g Iho Twenty-second to march alone.
Ij'.jv. Iiobins'on, who lives near that town, had an
terraw with Col. Utley on Ihe subject. Tbe Colo-
nel gave notice tbnt if it waa intended to molest him,
the Governor should clear the lown of women and

loaded and bayonets fixed ; nnd in enso [he attempt
should be made to lake awny tbe couirabun.de Irom

He Carried out hia word. When Iho rebel mob
w fbS fixed bayonets, "a sober second thought
"
led them to oiler no alight lo Iho daring Wisconsin
men. Finally, an invitation to tea was extended lo
Co). Utley und Ins ulTietiJ,, but was declined.

fcro not yet willing to yield the controversy. Judge
Eobinsoa issued a warrant for the nrrest of (bo Col-
iuol, lor stealing negroes in violation of tbe laws ol
Kentucky, nnd gave tbe Sheriff
"
ling slaves. While the Illi
lety-seeond were quartered at M.uint Stirling, lif-
n negroes, the slaves of notorious rebels, came
.. o their camp and wore employed ns servants.
Application was made to (.Jen, Ucrdon Granger, who
' -i order (o Col. Atkins not (o let any person,
black, come inlo his lines. Uut as Ibis was
not what tho slnveholdiug traitors wanted, they
obtained an order sending the regiment away from
Mount Stirling.
At Winchester, on tbe road lo Lexington, tbo citi-
zens made Ibe throat that they would, wilb Ihe aid
of (he Kentucky I.a.iriir.ntb. chastise tbo Illinoisans.
Col. Alkins man-bed through tho lown with fined
bayonets and loaded guns, fully as willing lo fight
traitors in that way as any other.
At Lcxingtoo the rabble broke into (ho ranks of
the Ninety-second, and attempted lo take away a
negro belonging (o one of tbe vilest of Ibe Kentucky

We hear of effervescences in the Cabinet nt Wash

ore times in which a single day may bring forth

thing is certain, ibat the repulse at Fredericksburg
makes Iho policy of Emancipation all the
prominent arid exigent. Had wc scattered tin
army of the rebels there, und been now in full march
upon liic-bmoml, there might have been an appeal
made lo itie President lor a modification, or at least
a delay, of his proclamation policy, with aome show
of plausibility. It might ho said that Item was
good reason to hopo [lint the rebellion had received n
blow that it could not survive, and that (he rebels
should be allowed a reasonable lime to aubniit Ihem.
selves nnd save their institutions, before llio fatal
blow was dealt lo what they prize the most in life.
With the views which iho President is known con-
scientiously to bold as to bis duly of saving slavery
if it can be done without destroying the country, it
cannot be denied Ileal such representations might not
unreasonably have great weight with b'im. That
immense pressure is now brought lo bear upon liim
lo force him to swerve from the lino he baa marked
out, lo look back from the plough to which he bad
pot bis hand to drive ii over the prostrate ciladel of
slavery, is mutter of . notoriety. Perhaps it would
have been irresistible if il hod bad (ho weight of vic-
tory superadded to it. What tbo country lias lo
pray lor ia that he may have atreuglh equal (o his
day.andadviaerBcompctentloBtrouglhenhisalrenglh
and not to weaken it- The policy or Emancipation
demands a man at bis right hand who fully und
steadfastly believes ia it, aad who will have wisdom
to direct (he measures lo be taken under ilia the dis-
ercetcst nud most cnurgolio manner.
That we do not believe Mr. Sewnrd to be the man
whom ihu exigency calls for we set forlh last week.
We hnvo not changed our opinion since, though wo
then wrole in the hope of the opening of a carcor of
victory. We alili ibiufc Hint h: inighi be much bel-
ter replaced by almost any ono of iho prominent
Republicans of the country, who regard slavery as
(he fountain and original of all our calamities. But
we do not eco how be, or even Mr. Blair, can help
seeing (lint, if the country is to be saved entire, il can
only be by means of (he black allies who are only
wailing our invitation lo place themselves by our
side. Tbo dcaiu-blow must be dealt to the rebellion
within tbo nest six monlhs or il will nssunic propor-
tions of very dilleivnl relative importance Irom any.
ibing it bas yet taken upon itself. To hope for any
prvpoiidcrntiag successes in the field

sanguine temperament. We bavo tried
Blylo of taclics for more llian eighteen months, and
they Lava failed against the rapid evolul

including ninny noble-hen Mod young men, some of
whom hnvo already fallen with tho two hundred and

fine intellect, earnest noli- slavery impulses, nnd of rare

Ho was shot Ibr.oigli the lungs, (ell, ami while being
lifted to Ilia feet ngnin by a comrade bo was shot
through, ihu bead by a rebel sharpshooter, nud died in-
stantly. Two years ago, when nt Brockolta Bridge

much bis genial ciiiiip.inionshi|i. an I bis manly, earnest
cooperalion. lie was greatly beloved by a largo circle

costly one. if Hie bleed of ueii lyr.i " bo tho seed of Iho

There is mourning oo account ot the war literally in

represent the policy ol Hie President. Ho cannot poi-
sibly commit such a blunder as lo try on his old plan
of mining up iticongiuoiii eleintnt-i in his Cabinet- If
he does, he is doomed. There nro reasons why Mr,
Lincoln may clinj; lo his "hi Cilin-t entire, just as it
wbi before Mr. Seward resigned, but if ho is com-
pelled to make a new Cabinet, iIi.to will be no excuse
for putting men together in an Administration who
differ with each oilier almost radically on the slavery
question. It is said (hat Mr. Fcssendou refuses lo go
into the Cabinet unless there is an entire break-up
But (do not believe Ibnt Iho President has yet gone
so far as lo offer a place in Iho Cabinet to any one. Hi
is still trying to harmonize the old materials.
But enough of litis vexatious subject. I will lake, up
n pleosanler one. Tho Border Stale men liavo been
trying ol Into lo eoa:f tho President out of his Procla-
mation ol Emancipation. They even went so far as lo
send a formal deputation, to him on thu subjectto
beseech him to give way, to abandon his mad design
of destroying the institution of tliierv. They got no
comfort from the President. The only thing he said,
,rst of January ennin round, lie would endeavor to do
rhat was right, and if the Union could he saved with-
ut Ihe Proclamation ho would forego it. But ho
