Military heroes.

1t is truly amusing to witness the extraor-
binary efforts being made by the Locoioco
press to prove Gen. Pierce great military
man-one of the Captains of the age. They
attempted this while back, but evidently be-
came themselves Disguised with the SUBJECT
and let it drop. But after searching through
his civil life for something to talk about, and
discovering that the less said on all things
appertaining thereto the better for his credit,
in sheer desperation they have once again
turned to that remarkable military career
which has made Gen. Pierce distinguished
for some things the country over if not for 9TH
ers. To-be-sure, they admit Gen. Pierce
tainted a number of times, and his own ac-
counts acknowledge he was not in single
battle as an active participant, but then this
is progressive age, and things are not done
up in the old fashioned style. A man can
nowadays step out of lawyers Office into
Generals commission; march TO war with
a camphor bottle in one hand, and linen
cambria in the other; tumble from his horse
at the first sight of the enemy; flint ut the
/ first roar OF cannon or shower of grape; be
exceedingly brave, even to the getting up
! from sick couch to pursue, when the ene-
my are in full flight; dodge battles, yet with
/ lawyer-lke shrewdness always concoct
first rate excuse for not being in the midst
OF the fight and sharing glorious honors-
then return home, and ut the freside and in
the social circle, and to the ears of far l.
dies and little children, fight DER his battle,
again, and be mighty man. OF the latte!
day heroes, Gen, Pierce is certainly as de-
Ilightfu a specimen as cur country affords.
But thus it was not in the olden times \
stout heart and strong arm; hard lighting anI
blooly wounds; an ambition to be first in the
field and last out Of it; to win name By
great personal deeds of daring gsllantry, bu
all selfish ambition to be grounded upon devo
ton to country, the principles of her cause
and the protecton>of her honor-somethnl
of this kind it was which made up the war
rior of the days that are past. Gen. Scot
is representative of this class. Yet verify
these Democrats are with their modern hero
trying to eclipse the fame of the great Scott
as military man. We object TO ibis. w,
, object to SCOTS glory being furnished by ex
hbiting by its side the military feuts OF Pierce
1t amt fair. A short time since, the Demo
Gratis felt great dislike for military men, bu
now they are battling for Gen. Pierce u
though everything he had in the world to re
commend him was his military deeds, ans
, they were wonderful, terrifying and astonish
. iugenough, to give him superior claims to Gen
i Scott. Well, let them 60 ahead. Locoloco
have the knack of making great men out O
the most indifferent material and they vii
h doubtless make a second Caesar of Genera
Pierce.

The Times ''don't care fig about your

whether ace are scoundrel or not, but says
by the remark, the same as though he would
like us to discuss the matter of whether Gen.
Scott is a scoundrel or not. That is ques-
ton which it would be On insult to patriot
and brave soldier, who has been in the SER

The steamship Cherokee, on her last voy-
age, took $50 tons Of our coal from the mine
worked by Messrs. l.. ID. Stckney & Co.
Tne engineer of the ship reports that he got
u steam with this coal one hour sooner than
with any he ever used before, and that the run
to Havana was made several hours quicker
than the usual time.
When the ocean steamers have become
accustomed to this open burning coal and
have adapted their CRATE bars and furnaces to
its use, they will give il decided preference to
any other variety.

TTle Princeton Clarion says we are
misinformed in stating that the editor of that
paper, when he first heard the news of Mr..
Reavls' nomination, said the Wings had Sc
cured Gibson county by the nomination.
Those may not have been the ucords-but Mr..
Kurtz did give expression to the idea. We
are not at liberty to tell the name of our in

given, would probably not be disputed by the
editor Of the Clarion.

News FROM ABRoAD.-The Wings OF

termined that the Stale that never yet voted

of a glorious victory in November. The
meetings were addressed b. Senator Dawson

The Patriot says, that the speeches were

were not recognized as any part OF Ameri-
