THE SOUTHERN REBELLION.

EDWARD EVERETT has many claims upon
the esteem and affections of Americans. He
q, has filled with honor its highest Offices at
home and abroad, has occupied his leisure
with learned labors for the good of the coun-
try, and for long time has devoted his best
attainments to the perpetuation of Its honored
memories, its institutions, and its fame. He
has long been the most accomplished of her
statesmen and the most classic of her orators.
None of these things, however, have given
him such claims upon our admiration and re-
gard as the mastery grafton which he deliv-
cred in this city on the Fourth of july.
"The occasion was dramatic in its circum
stances. Upon the anniversary of the nation e
independence, in the first year of its peril and
the crisis of its fate, in the metropolis of the
continent, at the ripe maturity of his own age
and with all his powers unabated, he has
given of the wealth of his learning, the graces
of his oratory and the hitherto unexhibited re-
sources of his logic, and spoken with untram-
meled lips for the vindication of the justice
and the righteousness of our cause. As an
historic statement it is judicial and compre-
hensive; as an argument, simply unanswera-
BILE; as an oration, it is Mr.. Everett's master
piece. Grand historic events do not often
have all their significance expressed in the
day Of their occurrence, but Mr.. Everett set
his seal upon the very hour. The nation will
be grateful that such fit and complete utter
ance has been given to its voice. A review Of
the past it passes on to history as a chapter
which needs no revision. As prophecy for
the future, time hastens to accomplish its full
fIlment.-NesD York World.

NUnion meni we know that you
have struggled earnestly and honestly
for peace with the secession party OF
Kentucky. You have quietly submit
ted to outrage after outrage from seces-
sionists both within and without your
State. Youbays submitted to the per-
secution of your brethren in Southern
Kentucky. You have succeeded in
three elections within the last four
months by overwhelming majorities.
The people have sustained you. Sc
cessionists are for subjugating Union
men in the seeded States for refusing
to submit to the will of a majority, but
they are unwilling to submit to the
voice of the people here. They agitate
and agitate and agitate notwithstand-
ing their odious doctrines have been re-
pudiated time and again. They do not
intend to rest satisfied until they sue
ceed in bringing civil war to your homes
and 6resides. They have entered up
on system of bullying and bravado.
They have announced that Kentuckians
shall not rally under the flag of their
country upon their own soil for their
self-defense. They are instigating the
burning Of railroad bridges and the
tearing up Of railway cars. Their pur.
pose, if unchecked, is to institute a
reign of terror, and thereby overcome
the brave and loyal Union men OF Ken
tucky. Will you quietly submit to it?
Will you permit to be established in this
State such military despotism and ter
rorism as exist over your brethren in
the seeding States? We imagine that
we can hear a universal No shouted by
all the Union men in Kentucky. We
feel that you are worthy sons Of the
OZARK and bloody ground" We say
to you, then, that you are passing
through fearful crisis. Fiends and
devils in human shape are plotting your
ruin and subjugation. They are lay
ing their plans to have Confederate sol.
diers in the employ of King JEFF. DaYi:
introduced into this State.
Awake! Arouse! and prepare to meet
the invader! Give not an inch to the
conspirators in your midst, for the
more you give the more they will ad'

you, but we tell you that we understand

lamation. He says: -
AS Chief Magistrate Of the State, It

genee: A sergeant belonging to com.

to-day, having escaped from the rebels
by whom he was taken prisoner al
the late battle near Springfield. BE
reports that Gen. Mccullough was
mortally wounded and died at Spring.
field the morning after the battle. His
body was placed in coffin which was
filled with whisky and closely sealed
and sent southwark on Tuesday even
ing accompanied by his body guard
and 9 few companies Of soldiers.
He says Gen. Price was badly wound
ed and thinks he will not be able to
take the command again soon. The
rebels were reinforced Saturday night
after the battle by 5000 men under
Mcbride. very many Of whom had no
arms. 1t was current among the rebels
that 10, 900 of their army would make
forced marches on Jefferson City and
take it.
INCIDENTS OF THE FIGHT,
Ny informant says the last charges
by the Kansas and Iowa regiments and
the Dragons, forced the enemy to
retreat three miles, where they waited
till night, in constant expectation Of
again being attacked. He says two
more regiments would have driven the
rebel army into Arkansas. The terri
bic havoc made by Totten's and Du-
bois's batteries filled the enemy with
dismay. He thinks six thousand low
estimate of their killed and wounded.
The troops with whom this dragoon
travelled kept him in ignorance ofthe
route they pursued but told him they
we're going to join Gen. Pillow. From
the description of the country through
which they moved it is believed they
we're making for some point near
Pilot Knob.

THOSE HAED-CUFFs.-Our neighbor
of the Courier has pair of handouts
(what an article to be kept on hand by a
gentlemanD presented to him, we un-
derstand, by the keeper and manager
of Blind Tom, the little musical nigger.
1t has been stated in all of the secces-
sion papers, that the Confederate army,
at the battle Of Manassas, captured three
wagons, loaded with $1,000 OF these
hand-cuffs, and the Courier Office
exhibits specimen in proof Of the truth
of the statement. Now to stamp the
whole story as base, it may be well to
consider the weight of each hand
cuff-certainly not less than a pound.
Supposing that to be the weight, $4,000
cuffs would weigh 5000 pounds; and,
as army wagons never load over 300
pounds. it sOOuld take forty wagons to
carry them! That will do.-Lou. Jour.

~We look upou Ohio with some

EWe look upon Ohio with some
degree OF interest. The problem oI
State politics is approaching a most
gratifying solution,-and in its various
phases we see the spectacle Of an honest
public sentiment, contending with a
desperate and deprayed school Of poll
ticians. The people of Ohio are a
noble people. They have responded to
the call of the Government in the most
gratifying manner. and throughout this
rebellion they have exhibited an earn
estness and devotion which no words
can appropriately commend. In that
State, as in other States of the North,
the Democratic organization is control
led by politicians like Vallandigham,
who are avoWedly hostile to the Gov
ernment, or like Cox, who loudly pro-
fess Union sentiments, while they busily
aid in fostering a disunion feeling
Anxious to commit the organization
which had fostered them to an antagon-
ism with the Administration, and there
fore, with the loyal sentiment which
the Administration represents, they
not long since placed on record plat
form which assumed the ideas of JEFF
ferson Davis to be the ideas Of the
Democratic party. and sought to make
that party the ally of the Richmond
rebel.
At the time, we denounced this
scheme as we felt it to be our duty to
denounce it. for with the dying words Of
Douglas before US, no true follower Of
Douglas could endorse their treason
and still be true 10 his teachings and his
memory. As the Republican party
had rendered to the Democratic party
terms of a union based on the most
patriotic principles, and looking only to
the success of those principles and the
election of good men 10 Office as their
representative, we could not see how
the proffer could be honorably refused.
The Douglas Democracy, we are proud
to see have no intention Of refusing it.
Stepping aside from an organization,
which, under its present management
is delusion and snare, they say 10
the Republicans that as patriots, they
accept their patriotic profer.
We only wish to say to the Democ-
racy of Ohio, that we congratulate
them upon the noble stand they have
taken. In the terms of their union we
have no interest. Anxious only to see
a great principle succeed, we are indif-
ferent as to who the leader of that prin-
ciple may be. There are thousands Of
good and true men in Ohio, any one Of
whom would fttingly represent its pa
triotic people, and adorn the Executive
chair which those people are about to
Gil. 1t is thought that Hon. DAVID
TOP will be the choice Of the Union
people. Certainly no choice could be
more appropriate. As the Chairman
of the Baltiinore Democratic Conven-
ton after the retirement OF CUSHING,
Mr.. TOP is the national representative
OF the Douglas party, and his nomina-
ton would be a graceful compliment to
the Douglas party. all over the country.
If the Democracy are to have the Coy
ernor, let Mr.. TOP, or some man equal
ly as good, be chosen; and the country
will ratify the choice.-Rorney's Press.
