Norton, Mcintosh, ana other Republi>
cans OF this county, who have for years
Toasted on the emoluments of Office, at the
recent judicial election, used all their pow.
er and influence in accomplishing the de-
feat OF Mr.. SnaPp. This conduct on their
part is as inexplicable as it is mean and
ungrateful. We cannot see what they ex-
pect to gain by this warfare against man
who has the sympathies of large maiori-
ty oftheir party. Mr.. Snapp can control to-
day twice as many votes in the Republican
party as Norton, and Mcintosh aud all the
rest of their clique put together. What,
then, do they expect to gain by tho course
they are pursuing against him?
And, on the other hand, their opposition
to MIR. Snapp exposes them to the charge
Of ingratitude-the basest of crimes. -
Had it not been for the votes and influ-
cnce of Mr.. Snapp and his friends, Nor
ton would never have been elected to Con-
gress for two terms in succession nor
would Alexander Mcintosh have filled f r
four years the fat office of Clerk of the
Circuit Court of this county. We might
name other Republicans who are equally
indebted to Mr.. Snapp and his friends Cor
ofhclal favors that are now taking sides
with the Norton clique, but it is not nec-
essary at this time. For the last fifteen
years Mr.. Snapp has labored and voted for
these men, and now thoy have paid him
OF by voting against and defeating him.
Well, it's none of our fight; cut we could
not refrain from calling attention to tie
scandulons treatment of Mr.. Snarp nv
those who are so deeply indebted to him for
past political favors.

TnR EXPENSE OF THE War;" Ion "
writes from Washington to the Baltimore
San as follows:
Tue "sinews of war are to be strained
in the present conflict, to an unpreeenden-
ted extent, If the estimates talked Of are
correct. The present daily average ex-
penses Of the federal government are esti
mated by some at million of dollars a
Gay. A prominent financier of New York
reckons them at twelve hundred Thousand
a day. The cost is enhanced by the diff
Guilty OF securing accountability on the part
OF contractors. and also by the extoT,ion Of
those upon whom the government has
been obliged to depend for supplies,
transportation, &c. A protracted war re.
quires, as we have seen in the experience
of European powers, rigid system of re-
sponsibility and penalties for fraud upon
the government.
The U. S. Army is to undergo thorough
Reorganization. Nearly all the junior
officers of the present regular army will
be promoted, and some eight hundred
commissions will be issued for officers of
the new regiments. All the nominations
will CONS befor the Senate at the ensuing
session.

I'm for the War

We learn that most Of the men compos-
ing the regiment in camp here are willing
to serve for the war. The Adjutant is ex-
pected daily, when it will be seen who is
willing to surrender the pleasures and
comforts Of homo for the honor and perpe
tuity of the country. 1t is expected, of
course, that the circumstances of some will
compel them to leave; but with a large
portion in all the companies there is no
backing out.

sET In our statement relative to the a.
sault upon Mr.. Kinney's saloon by squad
of soldiers from Camp Goodell in our last
paper, we are assured that we were in error
in saying that they were armed with loaded
muskets. They were armed truly, but
their muskets were not charged with pow
der and ball. And according to their yer.
sion of the story, there was something to
palliate their rashness in measure.

Betrayal Of COnfidence--A
Letter from LOYeiaY.

Z During the late contest for Judge in this
circuit our Oongressman, Hon.. Owen
Lovejsy. wrote a private letter tot politi.
cal friend of his, now Occupying a high |
official position in Grundy county, advising
him 10 support Mr.. SnaPp. This friend of
Mr.. Lovejoy, though one of the old school
Republicans, happened to be a supporter
of Mr. Harris, as were nearly everybody
IN Grundy county, and placed the letter
in the hands Of his friends in this coun-
ty. We leave our readers to draw their
own differences relative to the meanness Of
Mr.. L1vejoy's friend in betraying him
thus, as it is q kind of "dog eat dog"
affair all around, but will state that tie
reading of the letter to the people of this
county where it was rapidly circulated be
FIRE the election, had the effect of turning
hundreds of votes against Mr.. Snapp.-
We give the letter entire, that outsiders
may see there is beautiful feud brewing
amongst our Republican wire pullers:
Princeton, May ii, 1861.
Friend -:
learn that Henry snapp is candidate
for Judge in your Circuit. lie is an ex-
cellept, true man, and, us all Init, an
able lawyer. lie will be bitterly opposed

his defeat would be the triumph OF the UNI

mucracy, which will attempt u nuke head
way after this excitement, aud | think 1t
very important that The places Of influence
be filled with the rignt men. Will YOU
talk with Hanna, Newport and others.
Yours truly, o. LOVEJOY.
1t will be observed that Mr.. Loveioy
has not forgotten some of his scriptural
phrases. However, let it be understood
that his illusions were only designed for
Mr.. Norton and his Republican followers
in this county, and Democrats, whether
hey voted for Harris or SnapT, are not in
cluded in the kind of triumph mentioned
BY Mr.. Lovejoy. We are indebted to Mr..
Lovejoy for furnishing us appropriate titles
whereby to designate the oppo sing Repub-

a few more patriots needed in Camp Good
