hope something will occur to bring about
satisfactory settlement of all our present difficult
ties. How that can be done shall not pretend
to discuss, but the preparation for war in the
Confederate States is so elaborate that, without
an immediate settlement, Europe has not for
many years, if ever, witnessed such an extraord
nary military conflict. l think l may safely say
that at this time there are three hundred thousand
men under arms in the South, with tlco hundred

system already inaugurated will call one million
of men to the field in the South, varying from
fifteen to seventy years of age. There can not

it be necessary, some of the first rate military
powers of the old world will be engaged in the

inexperienced Generals.

Public attention has been directed to the ap-
Dointment of civilians to high military positions.
To a certain extent this is unavoidable, and the
power, so far, in most instances we believe has
been judiciously exercised; but we think the senti
ment Of the country is strongly in favor of the
promotion Of our regular and experienced army
officers whenever it can be done. The Phiadel-
phia Inquirer, Republican journal, says, Sin
Offering the present large force, many mere
civilians have been plumed with all titles, up to
Major and Brigadier Generals, to the exclusion Of
trained, tried officers. Some of these appoint
ments, we think, very good in promise; and some,
most likely, will prove to be poor enough At
any rate, we blame them, whenever made to
the neglect of good, experienced comman-
lers. A sword, epaulets and title, more
make a good General, than fine feathers, comb,
and gaffs just glued to a barn yard rooster.
would make him victorious game-cock. This
trifiing with great peril, and scattering at ran
dom the honors in this momentous struggle, as if
they were offices for successful scramblers, is a
very grave business. Are we throwing in so
much Of money, time, feeling, honor, hope, and
life, only to fool il away on doubtful risks? For
surely the average chances over the untaught.
untried civilian, are vastly for him who has fought
and won his battles, or has long studied how to
light and win them. Is there not blame, much
blame in this matter somewhere? For the past,
We will not blame, as we could not well specify
he faulty appointers, appointees, solicitors and
ro-betweens. For the future. we say aloud, in

Imposition.

We think the War Department has been i'm
POSED upon in reference to offering some of the
regiments under the last call for six regiments
from this State. One of the proposed Colonies
s not q resident even of Indiana, or only nomi-
nally so, and he has no military experience what
ever. Il will be time to 60 outside of Indiana to
get commanders for her volunteers when the
material for such service within the State is ex-
hausted, but we object most decidedly to foreign
mportations for that purpose until the necessity
crises for their services. The sad reverses in
several late engagements in Virginia show the
folly of placing civilians, mere politicians, in re-
sponsible commands as a reward for partisan SER
vices This system must be stopped, or else the
war had better be brought to termination at
once, otherwise the slaughter of our men will be
nothing short of murder. The exploit of Briga-
dier General ScHENcK at Vienna is a case in
point- His command were on train of cars,
md no foresight was displayed in the approach to
nat place through deep cut in the railroad. A
prudent, sagacious and experienced officer would
have stopped the train at such point and recon
oitered the position But instead fthe exercise of
his common precaution in an enemy's country the
rain wentthundering along, as though it was on
a mission of peace, until it was brought to a
stand by a numerous. raking fire from the can
non of the Confederate forces. Our troops were
caught in this trap. from the fact that they were
ed by an officer who knew nothing whatever of
military science, and without even common pru-
dence. Do we want such lessons repeated by ap
pointing wooden men to important military posi-
-ionsf We hope this game will be blocked, so
ar as Indiana is concerned. We trust the State
authorities will not sanction the appointment of
Ulcers to important commands, whose only quail
location to recommend them is, that they are
plssable mercantile runners, with the disqualifi-
cation Of knowing nothing of military affairs, Ell
ther theoretically practically, at least until we
% longer have competent and worthy men with
a our own borders to place in these responsible
lositions.
Great complaint is made against Gen. Scorr in
eertain quarters for not prosecuting the war more
figorously. The movements of such Gene
ais PIERCE and ScHENcK fully explains the
ADVERTISEMENTS of the General-in- Chief. The
men in the ranks have not only to be disciplined
or service, but the Generals, who have been taken
rom civil life, as a reward for party service, and
vho generally less qualified for their places

A GoVer,,ment of Force,

The Louisville Democrat says opposition to CO.
ercion is a common remark, and is repeated upon
all occasions In proper sense, it is all correct
1t is proper to oppose a Government founded on
force, and not on consent and the cooperation of
the governed; but Governments can't exist with
out the temporary use of force. An law is to be
executed by force, if necessary. Our Government
provides force to put down rebellion or insurrec-
ton, and the law makes provision for the use of
force on any scale required. WASHINGTON used
force, coercion; JEFFERSON used it, and JACKSON
used it. When coercion will restore obedience to
laws and the consent Of the governed, leaving
the right of self-gOvernment unimpaired, it is
proper. 1t is sheer folly to talk of civil govern
ment at all, without the power of coercing obedi
ence to its laws, if necessary. Governments are
formed that there may be power to execute law
against any resistance.
The question now is, whether force will put
down resistance without subugating the people,
and destroying their right of self government in
the States. We have no apprehensiOns of this
result. No power will ever be able to impose on
any large fraction of our people permanent
government, except one of their own consent.
The chief danger is, that in the passion of the
hour, people may consent to despOtic rule them
selves. Such is likely to be the result of war
long prosecuted. A military ruler becomes ne
cessity, and the people submit because they have
lost the power to help it. Suggestions now of a
stronger government than we have had are COM
mon; a government with more power to coerce;
and men will become familiar with the exercise
of the arbitrary power which the rules of war
justify, until they forget the freedom they have
enjoyed There is, infinitely, more danger Of
this than there is of one section OF the Union sub
jugating the other.

The messaee...The War.

The telegraph, not always reliable, informs US
that the President is busy preparing his message,
and that it viii recommend the most vigorous
prosecution of the war. To that end he will ad
wise the call for half million of men and an
appropriation of two hundred millions dollars.
This is carrying out the suggestions of the late
Senator DOUGLAS, who said that the most stupcn-
deus preparations for the surest and
shortest road to peace. 1t is evident that the
South has presented more formidable front and
far better preparations for the war than was anti
cipated by the Administration. The large Fede-
raj force already in the field is not equal to the
task of overcoming the Confederate troops and
occupying the territory which may be wrested
from them. If the seeded States are
united and determined to maintain their
independence, we know that they are
Americans, and that they will never yield as
long rs resistance is possible. To subdue such a
people, no matter how much superior our re-
sources and numbers may be, it will require an
army of the magnitude which it is said the Presi-
dent will recommend to be called into immediate
service. And the farther the army advances
Southwark the greater will be the obstacles which
will interpose its progress. If the Confederates
resist and fight with the spirit and energy they
pledge themselves to do, we shall expect to see
the advancing columns of the Union army melt
away did the well disciplined forces of Napo-
leon in his invasion of Spain. But if it is the
policy to compel the submission of the Confed-
crates, the quickest and surest way of accom-
plishing that result is the immediate employment
of an overwhelming force. A moderate army
will protract the war indefinitely and leave the
issue doubtful, while force of half million
may bring the contest to earl y termination and
prove a measure of economy in both blood and
treasure.

A Word from Ex.Presidenf Van Bu.

The Danbury Comm Times says that very
recently two citizens of that village, finding them
selves in the neighborhood of Undertook, took
the opportunity to call on the eighth President of
the United States, MartinVan Buren,. They found
him at home and glad to see them. After the in
troductory scene one of the visitors explained to
the seer of Undertook that he had long cher
ished desire to see the man for whom he had
cast his first vote for President Of the United
States. The conversation naturally turned in the
direction of the present unsettled state of the
country. Mr. Van Buren, remarked that he had
recently an interview with ex-President Pierce,
and that neither could see anything hopeful, or
indicating prospect of an immediate settlement
of our national difficulties. GAS for myself, /"
said he, 81 do rot expect to see it, but our Gov
eminent must be sustained at whatever cost. %
Mr.. Van Buren, is 76 years Of age, and although
his step indicates that he has considerably passed
the zenith of life, and his round and well-dcvel-
oped head is frosted where the hair is left, his
eve retains the fire and twinkle that has always
told of a busy, active brain.
