"Do NOT SPARE A MANI

rather Jaraula, The leader of The guerrilas in
Mexico whose deeds OF assassination will, il is 10
be trusted, shortly be terminated and avenged BY
our troops, has adopted the motto in reference 10
The Americans, OF "sparing none and killing ALL"
de takes no prisoners" and in this proves him.

The example of this worthy and conside!aie "pa-
are" has not, it appears, been LOST upon the Fee
aerai Leaders and papers in this country in their
attacks upon the officers in the army who happen
10 be Democrats. They spare none, but attack
and misrepresent all, from the first 10 the last

townsman, Patterson. To this hour the Federal
press is ringing with charges upon General Pill
low, OF Tennessee, even while every mail is
bringing US intelligence OF new deeds Of valor
performed by his command. One Of The latest
and most infamous articles, however, is one upon
General Lane OF Indiana, whose brow is entwn-
ed with fresh laureIs gathered on the glorious field
OF Buena Vista. Ii is from the Louisville Jour-
nal, and has been ELECTED by the announcement
Of bis re-appoinmenl by the Presiden! 10 b,-

"Ano;her most unfortunate appointment In
actual ignorance OF military dulles, and in an en-.
lire lack Of all The requisites Of skiliul COM
mander, we are compelled 10 regard Gen. Lane
as about on par with Gen. Pillow. His want
OF military knowledge displayed al Buena Visa,
was The cause OF the loss OF many brave men IN
der his command, and ca me very near losing the
victory. Gen. Lane has much, very much 10
answer for, and an outraged ard injured public
will yet compel him 10 answer Tor the calamities
his incompeency occasioned The brave Indiana
Volunteers"
"Generals Taylor and Wool" says the Gin
cinnati Inquirer, "giye entirely different ac-
count of General Lanes conduc, and services
upon the field AT Buena Visa-but we suppose
they know very lille in The mailer, compared
with the common slandcrer Of the Journal. IL is
probable, Tia, having no parry purposes 10 serve
in the preparation OF official documents, they
were fully as candid and impartial judges, as The
man who, snuely ensconced in his arm chair n
home, endeavors 10 manufacture political capital
by lracucng the brave men who have been en-
gagged in serving The country in tie field"
And yet party guilty o! such conduct as this,
has The impotence 10 ask The votes Of a people
who love their couniry.-l Pennsu'raniGT.
