More yandalfsm.-CoI.O Oscar Tur.
ner's Farm Invaded-EIis Proper


The Chicago Tribune has a disgusting ar
ticle, in which the raid upon Col. Turner's
farm in Ballard county is paraded as an ex-
plot of the Lincoln hirelings worthy of
chronicling as a great victory The Tri-
bune says that forty odd null. 8. &c., were
taken; and as an apology for what even the
heartless editor felt to be an invasion of pri-
vate rights wholly unjustifable by civilized
warfare. states that the Federal forces were
sent there because it was understood Con-
federate encampment was on Col. Turner's
premises. This pretext is miserable fab
rication to cover up the vandalism of the
Nor hern soldiery; for Col Turner's farm is
bat a short distance from Cairo, and the
forces there would have easily learned the
facts. The truth is, had there been such an
encampment, the property of the Colonel
would have been secure-the towards would
not have ventnred to show themselves in the
presence of a hostie foe.
The story about finding correspondence
between Gov. Magofhn and Col. Turner. i'm
plicating both in what the North are pleas
ed to term treason, is all lie. Col. Tur-
ner is private citizen, in no way connect
ed with the Confederate army. He informs
us that fifty-seven mules were taken from
his farm. his parlor and private rooms ran
sacked, and many valuable articles taken
therefrom. He says his loss is about ten
thousand dollars Other Eoutrages were
committed upon femals slaves, which pub
lie derency forbids us TO Neutrality-suspicious.

The SPEAKING Observation-Disclosures
engagements yesterday prevented us hearing
the candidates for Congress in full. We heard
q portion of the speeches OF Judge GREEN
and Gov. FooTE, and are informed that Mr..
THOMSON made speech of much energy
and Ere. F-om what we could learn, all the
aspirants are agreed upon the paramount Is
sues of the day, against reconstruction OF
the Union. and for the vigorous prosecution
OF The war until peace Is conquered. Inc
fact that Judge GREEN wrote letter three
or four years ago to some Society IN The
North in which he is supposed to have uttered
gen iments inimical to slavery in the abstract,
ia dwelt upon with considerable emphasis by
one of his competitors, Dir. THOMPSON. Judge
GREEN, we are informed, met this charge with
his usual ability and denied that he regarded
slavery as a social. moral or political evil
When the charge was first made in The news
papers in 1855 we remember to have doubt
ed the correctness of the construction then
sought to be placed upon the letter of Judge
GREEN and so expressed ourselves in these
columns. He then wrote MS stating that be
had ben wholly misinterpreted. and in in
terest and sympathy was friend to the South
and its domestic Institutions This letter We
published. Without taking any part in the
pending Congressional election, we have
thought it due to the demands of justice to
make this reference to the position OF Judg
GREEN upon the subject of slavery. No man
with sense above idiocy would have the ef-
frontery 10 come before the people of this
district for Congress entertaining opinions so
maniiestly contrary to the repeatedly EXPIRES.
sed sentiments of the people upon this aud
other subjects connected with the pending
revolution. In thus referring TO the ''record"
of one of the candidates, we repeat that we
desire to take no part between them. The
people should scrutinize closely the merits
and fixed opinions of the representatives
whom they may select to assist in launching
the new Government, 1t may be of immense
consequence to them and their posterity. and
the only thing We have to regret is that cir
eums,anees have not given a longer time to
the canvass. go $50

The Campaign i'm western virginia.

The Gallipolis o. Dispatch, a paper
published on the border of Western Vir-

which has been made in several quarters, to
Withdraw the Yankee army from there into
Kentucky. 1t says: ss5 --s..sa- q
asIf the forces in Western Virginia are
drawn off at this time and directed else
where, it will be the worst step that can be
taken by the Government, unless it is the
intention TO give up Virginia. We regard
Western Virginia as being in a more dam
gerous condition tnan for some months past.
Armed bands of Secessionists are springing
up in, all directions, and are only waiting
for the Federal troops to slacken their vigil

commence. They are becoming more des-
perate and daring in their movements than
ever. In fact, instead of Withdrawing
troops, there is greater need of sending

~Nothing is more common than to D. ar
our Northern enemies denounced as towards.
To so far as a guilty conscience makes cow
ards of them they are so ; -bnt we do our
selyes Injustice when we denounce them as
craven poliroons, while we are putting forth
so much of our strength and our pluck to
wbip them While they did fight at Manas-
sas Plains, they fought well-at Lexington,
Oak Hills and Leesburg, they fought wen.
By the military standard of the world, history
will say they fought well at each of those
places Il is equally true that when they
ran, they ran well. The several occasions
on which we have engaged them during this
war We have been the victors, They are be-,
coming cautious, and are disinclined TO fight
Us except with manifest advantages. They
wisely conclude it is time for them to win
some field, if it is decreed in the book of fate
that they are to succeed at ALL and are prac-
ticing on the Falstaf1ian motto OF discretion.
If we had lost as much as they, and bad as
gloomy prospect ahead, it is possible We
should consult the rules of caution aud pra-
dence. The truth is that according to all
past example the North possesses an average
of courage, while the South possesses dar
ing impetuosity and an ability and DISPOSE
ton to face danger in all its forms, which,
together with the cause for which they COZ
tend and the motive which impeis them
make tn m the best soldiers the world ever
saw. We can whip them, and on every bat
tie field OF the war, where We meet them on
anything like equal terms, we will be victo
rious but it is not because they are abso-
lutte towards, but because We have cause
that makes US better and more invincible sol
diers than men ever were before in all the
history of the world.
