The Kind of Men we have to Fight.


"We have in the Northern cities at least
three hundred thousand of the most reckless,
desperate men On the face of the earth. The
Goths and Vandals who descended upon Rome
and ensanguined the Tiber with patrician blood
were angels compared to these fellows, who
are known by the generic name of ''roughs. :"
of course they are all in for the war, and the
spoils thereof-more particularly the spoils.
They have no stake in this world, no hope for
the future. They will fight like demons for
present enjoyment, and where one is killed,
twenty more will spring up in his place 1t is
of such rough material that all invincible troops
are made. That we are to have a fight, that
Virginia and Maryland will form the battle
ground, and that the Northern roughs will
sweep those States with fire and sword, is be-
yond peradventure. They have already been
excited to the boiling point by the rich pros
pect of plumber held out by some of their
leaders, and will not be satisfied unless they
have a farm and niger each. There is no
sort of exaggeration about these statements,
as the people of the border States will shortly
ascertain to their cost. The character of the
coming campaign will be vindictive, fierce,
bloody, and merciless beyond parallel in an
Gent or modern history

The Short Way!

[Frona tho NesO York Courier and EnQuir<r.l
'There are two ways of putting down the
present rebellion and saving the Union. The
one is, to call from seyenty-ive to hundred
thousand troops into the field, and consume
two or three years in scientifically terminating
the war at fearful loss of life, an enormous
cost in money, besides destroying the business
of the country pending the war; which, in itself,
would amount to untold hundreds of millions
of dollars. The other and wiser, and the
cheaper mode is, to call out quarter of mil
lion of volunteers, and double that number if
necessary, and bring the whole matter to a
close in few months. The latter is the cheap
err mode; and when accomplished, business
would at once resume its natural channels and
we should again be happy, united, and pros
porous people, Nation commanding the re-
spect and admiration of the world. And this
latter course, is the one which the people will
insist upon. We entreat of the President not
tn thyart them.D

No Friends at the North Now.

Mr.. Dickinson, of New York, the firm
friend of the South heretofore, spoke as fol-
lows at the recent great mass meeting in New

would be swept away. Let US finish things

attention to the following joint resolution of
the Legislature of Tennessee, which was
adopted at its recent extraordinary session:
Resolved, by the General assembly Of the

of the past two years, and the probable extra
ordinary demand for cereals and forage, to sup
ply the absolute wants of our State and of the
entire South, that the agricultursts of the State
be, and are hereby requested to devote the
breadth of arabic land in the State to the cul-
ture of grain and grass.
You can put in now large crops of millet,
you can put in FIVE, ten or twenty acres of corn
each. Cultivate each vacant square yard-the
country will need it-at good prices.

people are not secure unless fully aroused to

A Dictator Wanted.

From tie Nea0 York TsDaes.1
The spirit evoked within the last fortnight
has no parallel since the days of Peter the
Hermit In the last ten days, 100000 men
have sprung to their feet, and, arming and
provisioning themselves, are rushing to a con-
test which can never be quelled till they have
triumphed. A holy zeal inspires every loyal
heart. TO sacrifice comfort, property, and HE
even, is nothing, because if we fall, We must
give up these for our children, for humanity,
and for ourselves. Where is the leader of this
sublime passion? Can the administration
furnish him? We do not question the entire
patriotism of every member of it. nor their zeal
for fine public welfare. The President in the
selection of his Cabinet, very properly regard
ed the long and efficient services of MD in the
advocacy of the principles that triumphed in
his election. To him the future seen in
the past. But in the few weeks of his official
life all past political distinctions have been
completely effaced. From dream of profound
peace we awake with our enemy at our throat.
Who shall grapple with this foe? Men that
can match his activity, quick instincts and
physical force. A warrior-not a philosopher;
a Cromwell-not Bacon or a Locke"
