The Arkansas IntelIigencer-a Locofoco
paper-noticing Gov. YELL's election as
Colonel of the volunteers. says: e..
By putting in play his we'll known powers Of
deluding his friends, and outmaneuvering his
enemies-such as baking bread, wearing old hats,
footing it through mud. and other like acts-he
has been elected Colonel, and rewarded for his
''patriotic" deser.ion from his post, retarded for
pretending to have more patriotism than any
else. . ...
Gov. Yell was an unstable Governor, very
unstable Representative, and will he not make
a very unstable Colonel? .......

Parry WAR.--Thc press In different
parts Of the country are beginning to speak
out as TO the manner in which the war is
conducted. Party fealty is necessary to
get contract for supplies, and par,isans
are given all the Offices. The rights of
volunteers are taken from them, for fear
they might select NAH to command them
whose political notions did not accord
with those Of the powers that be. Men
are selected, not because of their military
talents, but because of their devotion to
the party. The whole business is conducted
in loose and extravagant manner, and
in a way that denotes want of judgment
and skill, not TO say honesty. .t
Senator SEMpLE, of Illinois, it is stated,
wanied tc give his friends the dodge on the
Tariff. He quietly engaged a seat in the
cars. and WIS about to leave Washington,
when he was discovered, and hauled out,
bag and baggage, aad told he must stand
TO the rack. He is little out OF humor
with the administration, because he couldn't
get TO distinguish himself as a military
officer, and desired to take revengs--leav-
ing at an important crisis. We wish he
had succeeded--for, in that event, the Tar
iff might have been saved. ..s...
