The Louisville Journal comments with ererity upon the urjust, nay nxre. vindictive fen turrs uf the tinw confiscation bill now before Congress. Io cor.neetiou therewith, it refers to the follow in j farts io regard to confiscation measures, which are deserving of consideration nt the present time. It remarks as follow; "The New York Times, tn an exfcllerit article upon this subject, says tint it can recall no instance of such swe"piri, wholf- V eoati?uiona, ,n this bill contemplates. The old Roman Unit ire b is the name of Lein about as hard a conqueror as the world Ins pern and yet its usagt wtis not to confiscate the property of its enemies, entirely, but to reserve for the ort gin! proprietor one third lor the iuhUtcncc d himrlf and family.

But thee estates were only a small pioporfi m of the old soil of Poland.' In the State ot Virginia alone there are over a hundred thousand free holds; within the limits of the Confederacy" at leat three-fourth of a million. Nearly all of this raat amount of real estate would be forfeited forever by its present proprietors if this confisca tion measure were carried out according to its term; for there is scarcely a real estate owner in the South who hsa net participated in the rebellion in one war or another.

How can they permit this thing Vi continue, when they see that the wr has been entire! v 11 verted from its original purpose? The Administration no longer pre tends that the w;r is for the restoration of the Union. Every man cm see for himself now that ;he war is prosecuted olelv for the negro, for the abolition of slavery in the Southern States, for the enriching of contractors, an 1 in order to en able the Republican party to retain themselves in power. The uncea-ing and till recurring demands of Mr. Lircoln for more human lives is absolutely appiiiii.g Whete aie the million and a half of bum in beings which the war has nlready iwl lowed up? At ieast one million of them have been jucrificcd to grttify the malignity of the radicals towards the South. Are the host of this million to be followed to the gloomy shades bv the ghotts of another million of victim? It will certainly he m, un!e-s ibe peoule rise at the next election and declare otherwise So far as the S uthern Stales nre concerned, they are not only uncoi.quci cd, Lut. tinder the present policies, unconquerable. This is the truth ; and is it not wiser to recognize it to day thin to recognize it four years hence? Mr. Xecmith, a Republican Senator from Oregon, in a recent speech look this very ground, con cluding his argument thu: "With their pre?-eiit resources, they have the ability fo resi.it our military policy for tl.e next ten years, mid in deed, to protract the wat indi finitely." Can you find room for some paragraphs from the Western Senator "a eloquent pech? How effectually he demolished the administration theory "That becau-e the rebel citn ei.cy is dept edited thete fore the armed lesi.-tance of the rebels must soon cta-e " In the facts thit 1 hare alluded to nhore lies the key to the conduct which Engltud and France hive pursued toward us during the war. It is for the interest of both tho-e countries that our civil wir h-niM he protracted until the arms-bearing population is so greatly depleted as to bo able to afford no barrier whatever to their amhitious designs. That period is not far distant now. When the war began, we wete about 26,f0(),flO(l people, not counting the ne jroe; Oout 17.0') I.IKM) in the North and U.000, 000 in the South Of thee the arms-he tring population wns alK)Ut 3,5!H),0Ol in the North; J.mm.OOO in the South.

Jeff Divis, on his part, has ued up a million of his men. und he has only a million left. England and France would both have in terfered long ugo; but they saw that, if they held aloof, in a few years we would be so exhausted and ho helpless that we would be powerless to rcsi.-t any Kuropem ag-gte-ion. Therefore they have pretended neu trality, hut all the time have been t'urni.-hing to both ptrties arms, ammunition, and the means of destroying each other. In two or three years more, perhaps in n veir or two more, England nnd France will both ftepin, and while Frmce occupies, not Mexico alone, but Texas and Cali fornia alo, and extends her imperial sceptre over all the unci en t province of Louisiana, extruding even to the Mississippi river, England will eize upon Oregon anil Wellington Territories, and upon Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, nnd Northern Ne York.

This was on the la.t of No vcrnher, or first of December, ltG3. He then went home nnd returned to Elision's on Sunday evening as the boy states.

We quote a few extracts from its comtcenU thereon, as a specimen of its estimate of the con duct of public affiirs hereabouts. Itsays: Our G jverntnei.t most hive the men, and if it cannot get them by volunteering, we say draft! But in conducting a draft, it is the duty ot the authorities to see tint each state, county and township, receive equal and exact ju.-tice. A dralt conducted on any other principle becomes the rule of the tyrant, under which the innocent suffer, and cowards and rascals shelter themselves from w hich they are justly subject. We briefly alluded iu an article, but a short time ago. to the rascally conduct ot Marion county citizens iu clandestinely repotting and having credited to that county volunteers tnat be long to other counties, and the Co operation and indorsement of the military authorities. This di-gractful work still goes ou. And we repeat that it is the foulest and meanest blot ever cat upon the reputatiou of our gallant State. Wilder 17th Regiment and Uattery. having re-enlisted, are credited to Marion county, to fill up her quota under the last call, and to shield Indianapolis fiom the.draft; and that, too, with out the gallant boys of the Kegiment and Hat ter) being cognizant of the fact. To the testi loony: We have been talking with some of the boys of the 17th Kegiment now at home, and HekeJ them how it came that they were credited to Indianapolis. Some of them knew nothing of the fact, and others said they had heard that Wilder had it done. Further, that Wilder mide them a speech, while in Alabama, and asked them if they didn't want to be cielited to Marion county. Over two thirds of the Kegiment an swered "Xo!" that they wanted to be credited to their own counties. Yet they are all credited to Indi mapolis. t shield that city from the new draft. Aud that, too, without giving the volun teers a single dollar of extra bounty. a Justice is outraged, and yet we are told there is no remedy If we appeil to the courts will the judges it'll us that there is no protection a,;iint friiid? They might, with the same propriety tint the military authorities tell us that there is no remedy for a county being defrauded out ol" her volunteer militia! Talk to us about ju-ticc, honor and freedom, while such rascality is to be fostered, and protected by the bayonet! Oil. no! Governor Morton, Colonel H iker, Fribarger ii Co. cannot h ive the thing remedied! They de clare themselves innocem! Who can, it they can't? Nobody. The truth is, they don't want to do it, and no d mbi chuckle in their sleeves at the success of the-r scheme (overnor Morton is Commander in Chief of Indium. The jeople look to him for protection. When they are wronged and appeal to him for redress, will fie tell them that there is "no remedy" "no protec tion?'' If it be so, he had better resign his posi tion to a competent man, much less seek the re immitiatiou lor the place at the hands of the men whom he willfully or negligently suffers to he wronged. Theie is no excuse. The right and wrong are before him He has a voice aud the power to appeal to the Government at Washing ton, if necessary. He will be held responsible. Frederick the Great, a century ago, wished to enlarge his possessions and his palace A certain mill obscuied the view, and he olTWed the I'rus ian a fair price for it. He icfued fo fell it, be cause it was a paternal estate. Frederick then ordered the mill torn down, which was done. The miller stood bv, paying he would abide by the law He must obey his sovereign, but the law did not compel him to sell his niill till he chose. He aj'pcileJ to the courts, and the cour ts decided that Frederick sh uld rebuild the mill. This he cheerfully did, thanking God that he had a court not influenced by imperial favor. Twenty years iio the present owner of the mill became involved, nnd offered to sell it, to Frederick Wil liam, the successor of Frederick the Gicit The sovereign refused to buy.fcut freely gave him $6,000, .aying that the tr.U mut stand, as a monument of the triumph of law, and Fiu-'sii stands to-day as a constant monument of the majestic law. - The military authorities, with the sanction of Governor Morton, may hield their favorite city from the draft, by r rediting volunteers from other counties to fill h r quota, and enforce .111 unjust conscription upon the people by the bayonet. The people "must obey their sovereigns' but thank God they will not be compelled to con tinue them in office! Tho pi inciple of nsht and justice ncknowleged and granted bv the Emperor of a despotic government should not be scorned by the rulers of a sovereign State. Might does not always make right.
