We are gratifed to learn that the state
ment made by US the other day, that Col.
Veatch had been assigned TO the command
of the brigade formerly under Gen. Davis,
and composed of the 9Th, 18th, 22d and
18th Indiana regiments is confirmed by let
tiers received here Monday evening. Gen
Davis has been assigned to the command of
the Division of which this brigade consti-
tutes part. All our correspondents from
Missouri speak in the highest terms of the
enterprise and ability Of Col. Veatch, and of
his tact aud influence with the men. That
he possesses those peculiar traits of mind
and character so essential to constitute
o successful General, We have always be-
lieved, and we rejoice that he is now
placed in position calculated TO call forth
those qualities more prominently.
It is becoming more and more apparent,
we think, that the man who is to lead our
armies to success, must be sought for among
the volunteers. 1t is impossible to make
great Generals-they are born, just as Nor
ply was born the king of chess players;
and we believe the officers who are yet to
shed halo of triumph around the flag OF
our Union are to emerge from the voun-
teer ranks, and it is the duty of the Gov
eminent to watch for such, and place them
in command. The day is not far dis
tant when an officer of strong, practical
thought, keen insight into the habits and
manner of thought of volunteers, will bt
considered fully as capable of commanding
them successfully as are West Point gradu
ases who have spent the greater portion 0

in the Negotiations"
AT the same time that the private soldier
expects to yield implicit obedience to the
commands ofhis officers, he expects them to
treat him as their equal in every respect
outside of official intercourse. That Colonel
Veatch is well suited for the army, we think
there is but little doubt and his friends
ought to see that his temporary promotion
is made permanent. We trust Gov. Morton
will use his influence in having that mark
of approval bestowed upon Col. Veatch
and that he will be commissioned by Mr.
Lincoln Brigadier General of volunteers

THE RIVER MAILs.-Soon after the COM
mencement Of the disorders down the Ohio
river, the Paducah and Evansville mail was
very irregular in consequence of those dis
orders and through a combination of IN
favorable circumstances. But lately, said
mail, as well as the Evansville and Cairo
mail, has been remarkably regular and
punctual, and we believe that now the>peo-
pie along the river are well satisfied with
the manner in which they get their mail
matter, as a general thing. There is little
left to desire in the way of regularity and
convenience.
This result is mainly to be attributed to
efforts of Special Agent MARYLAND, who,
having been intrusted by the Post Office
Department with plonary power to correct
Irregularities in the mail service, has labor
ed earnestly to regulate the running of
the mails in this region, and to secure
greater efficiency. Mr.. u, has shown him.
self to be q the right man in theright place"
In this connection we take occasion to
congratulate the public on having for Route
Agent, - excellent and faithful gentle
man As r. t. KercheVal, who serves on the
Courier between here and Cairo. He is A
No. in every respect.
Mr.. R. G. Samuel, who runs to Paducah
on the Bowen, although inexperien ced,
will, with practice make good and popular

The Louisville and Evansville mail is run

under the management Of Messrs. Green
and Kirby, gives excellent satisfaction to
the public On the whole, The river mails
are running with remarkable regularity.

Emancipation and the war.

One of the leading points of dissention
among the Northern masses in regard 10
the prosecution of the war relates 10 tho
negro question. THERE'S one party in
sisting that universal emancipation be
proclaimed to the slaves in the South.
both as purpose of the war and a means
for its successful prosecution. This idea
Of course meets with opponents, and the
controversy as it proceeds will build up
the anti-war party, weaken the power Of
the Federal Government and ultimately
operate as ON influence 10 bring about a
cessation Of hostilities. ".
The New York World, Republican
war paper, exposes the fallncy of the
Emancipation policy as advocated by the
New York Independent, 10 the following
1t is plain to people of practical sense
that a proclamation of emancipation
would have no other effect than to weak

enough to venture in this experiment, It
would not only stultify itself by contra
dieting all the professions it has hereto.
fore made that the war is to be wnged for
the attainiiftnt of nome but constitutional
objects, but it would fatally divide the
North, and render powerless all the
friends OF tine Union in the rebel States
when the time shall come for its recon
struction.
Instead of being shut up to choose be-
tween q proclamation OF emancipation
and defeat, such proclamation would
bring sure and irretrievable defeat from
the day on which 1t was promulgated
Two.thirds of the army would refuse to
march another step or serve another day
in such a crusade. Men would no longer
enlist Except few abolitionists) capital
lists would no longer furnish means for
prosecuting the war, and we should ini-
mediately have powerful revolutionary
party at the North as well as at the South.
1t would plunge the country into general
anarchy, and destroy the hopes of the
Union forever.
But would such proclamation emanci-
pate the slaves? Pray, how would it ever
reach themf Who is to tie this bell to

is carried by armies, it cannot reach the
slaves until the opposing armies have first
been conquered. But how can it be the
means of victory if it can take place only
after victory has been achieved?
1t would not be strange il the enemies
of Secretary Seward and the administIa- a.
tion should infer his sympathy with this
reckless abolitionism from the fact that
elongside of it he orders the publication
Of the laws of the United States. Inde-
pendent journals of large circulation, how
ever, are not dwindled to government Or
gans because the government finds it
profitable to advertise in their. columns,
and President Lincoln and Congress have
left cavaliers no excuse for supposing that
any authority exists for such utterances or
any sympathy with the sentiments which
the Independent advocates, except among
Abolitionists and the most radical of Re-
publicans.
