there is no ore rsal necsssity for it

yet that necessity stands forth 10 holder
relief The political game Of appoint
ing every man Brigadier General
whose uncle performed heavy stump
speeding in the cause Of Abraham
Lincoln, and Of shelving the war worn
veterans like 20 many mummies, has, we
trust in heaven, played out. Party ia
vor,tism as exempIified in the present
campaign, has had it's Legitimate result; it
has won US distress and humiliation
and the sage and hitherto unheard OF
assumption Of our present Executive,
that ranting politicians are better fitted
for leading soldiers on to victory, has
been very speedily reduced to glazing
absurdity. So mnch for Mr.. L'ncoln'
attempt to demonstrate that those
who can fairly carry an election can
put down a rebellion"
It's time that vigorous measures
we're being adopted for . thorough or
ranlzation OF our army" The part'zan
system has had ito day--sOd . day OF
shame 1t has been to us now let US
have practical work, practical measures
and practical men. Bid those polite
isus who are burning with such intense
desire 10 serve their country, to either
fall back into the ranks or 60 home.
They are not wanted any more. Call
forth the military talent Of the country,
and don't shelve a good General be-
cause he is not q Republican. Have
done with new LincoInic policy and give
ia men to fight our b attles.

Cling to raise funds to carry on this
war! He shall have them filled mp
with royal damask touches, tricked out
with show and sheen, while the tea
which the people pure base, is taxed ten
cents per pound. He shall have barges
with double banks of oars, gorgeously
canopied, with gold and silver tiuselry
and rich, costly feathers, while our brave
soldiers 60 ragged he shall ride out
regally upon the placid waters of the
Potomac in barge impelled by the
strong arms of stalwert rowers, while
the hard worked farmer delves and digs

Tue CRoPs IN WIscoNsrN.-Aw writer
from Dodge county to the Milwaukee
Sentinel, states that it will DO cate 10
estimate the average yield Of Spring
wheat at fifteen bushels per acre. He
says that some tracts, which two weeks
ago did not promise = return OF tho seed
sowed, now look passabIy good, owing
to the late showers. Wsnter vheat, to
a considerable extent is smutty, some
tracts being from one-fourth to one half
smut.
Corn, though small, is now improving
and with late frost may yield an aver
age crop.
Potatoes promise we'll, eff the rot
stays away"
