The Rebel Thnnksgiying.

Immediately after reading Of the dispatch OF
JEFF DAVIS in the Confederate Congress announ-
cling the great victory, the following resolutions
were offered by Mr.. MrMMiNGER, of South Carroll
ma, aud unanimously adopted
RcsoiDed, That we recognize the hand Of the
Most High God, the King of Kings, and Lord OF
Lords in the glorious victory with which lie hath
crowned our army at Manassas; and that the
people of the Confederate States arc invited, by
appropriate services on the ensuing Sabbath to
offer up their united thanksgiving and praise for
this mighty delivemnco.
Resolred, That deeply deplOring the necessity
which has washed the soil Of our country with the
blood Of so many her noblcst sons We offer to
their respective families and friends our most cor.
dial sympathy assuring them that the sacrifice
will be consccrated in the hearts OF our people, and
will there cnshnne the names Of the gallant dead
as the champions of free and Constitutional lib.
crty.
Resotred, That we approve the prompt aud pat.
riotc efforts of the Mayor of this city of Rich
mond to make provision for the wounded aud that
committee of one member from each State be
appointed to co operate in the plan.
ResOtced, That Congress do now adjourn.

Republican InGdcIity.

The "higher law" portion of the Re
publican press is full OF inlidelity. 1t now
processes to believe that the defeat and loss
of life in the battle before Manassas, was
shaped by Divine Providence, because,
had the Federal troops triumphed there,
"they would have marched on to Rich
mond and ended this war OH a false basis" "
The following paragraph on the subject,
from the New York Times, is copied in
to the JoWnal:
THE REsULT-Is IT a PRorHECY?-
There is a divinity shaping the course
of this war, and we must accept its mis-
ortunes with equal trust and hopefulness
There is one thing, and only one, at the
bottom ofthe hght-and that is the NEGRO
And yet, both North and South are stu
diously ignoring the fact, and deceiving
themselves and trying to deceive the world
as to the cause of the quarrel The
South pretends to be fighting for indepen-
dencc-but it is fighting for the establish
ment af human bondage as the basis oI
republican government. The North, OF
loyal States, claim to be fighting for the
IC- cNiHDllSDIlpul Vi INC COnSllJullOH anu
and laws, and to have no thought or prop
erty or social institutions in their minds
But they know that until slavery changes
its relations to Government, and becomes
its complete subject, instead of its AFRO.
giant master the peace and safety of the
Republic are impossible.
If our army had been vict orious at
Manassas they would have marched on to
Richmond, and ended this war on false
basis, both parties ignoring to the last
the cause of the war. The God that rules
over all, and does exact justice in the end
to bond and free, would not permit a
Of this sort to forestal His
providence. And he has awakened the
nation, as by the shock ofan earthquake"
What outrages infdes these men must
be who can indite or approvingly copy
such articles as the above. But such is
the sentiment of the ruling element in the
Republican party, in relation to the abo-
Iition of slavery, and the fact that they
are in for chat, must not be lost sight of
by the people. To iasurc success in this
war, every man and every press holding
such sentiments must be put down, and
that promptly. - Statesman.

The NO Party EEuulbug.

One of the most barcfaced swndcs that has
over come under our observation is the efforts OF
the Republicans to trade the Democratic party
out of existence They say party lines must be
ignored by Democrats while Republicans cling to
to their party with unyielding tenncity. II is true
they propose to give up the name of their party
organization for that of "Union party" but do
they offer TO make any other sacrifice viii
they yield one jot or title of the odious Chicago
Platform Will they cease their agitation Of the
slavery question in and out of Congress Will
they quit turning Democrats out Of office for opin
ion sake ? Will they denounce the plunderng
officials in their own party No. they propose to
do none ofthese. They merely offer to leave Dem.
ocrats abandon name, principle and opposition to
Republican corruption, and jointhe Republican
party under new name, as high privatcs. The
basis of their Union party is unequivocal support
to the administration Of LINCOLN without a why or
wherefore. The object of it is to cover up their
corruptions, shield them from impending defeat
and close the mouths of those who would de
uounce corruption in high places.
For seventy years the Democratic party has
while the opposition have during that time re-or.
ganized their party under new names at least
twenty times. When their party became odi
Gus in the eyes Of the people n reorganization
and a change Of name was Immediately brought
about, but in no instance has national blessing
resulted from it. We firmly believe there is no
earthly power capable of restoring the country to
peace and prosperity until the conservative, law
abiding and Union loving Democracy regain the
rcins of government. The nation, TO be govern
cd in peace must be governed by broad national
principles. Fanatics never can subduo ianati-
cism, bigots cannot suppress bigotry nor can dis
unionists and sectionasts cement notions in th'
bonds of fratcrnal brotherhood. Our rgovernmen

MS the billows, yet one as tho sca-in which tn,
rights Of all must be respected alike to keep then
moving harmonously together.

a Move Made Contrary TO ScOtt's
Wishes.

"WAsHINGToN, July lit is we'll
understood here that the final order for
march of the Federal army towards
Richmond, did not meet with cordial ap-
prova! Of Gen. Scott who entertained
the opinion and belief that the troops
were not in the thorough condition neces-
sary for the eme' gency that might arise"
The above was taken from letter of
that date written to the PHILADELPHIA
North Aemricon.
The order Forward to Richmond"
was undoubtedly forced from the Cabinet
by certain New York newspaper Com
manders in Chief, and by the impatience
of some members of Congress, whose i'm
pulses outrun their Judgment.
Gen. Scott was forced to yield to this
pressure or throw up his commission
The latter calamity would have been
worth hundred thousand men to the
rebel army; 1t would have been a gaeater
calamity; at the present crisis, than is the
terrible defeat Of the troops. Hence
Scott yielded and we have the result
The New York TriJune-whose voice
has been incessant in its cry "forward to
Richmond, attributes the Bulls Run
defeat to criminality on the part of the
Administration in not calling out more
men. This is cool, when the clamer for
the advance of our undriIled men was the
staple of daily production. What men
we had lacked discipline and drill, and
yet General H. G.. would have doubled
the number of raw troops and thus doub-
led our defeat. If every man knew
what his Especially" in this world is,
and then had the sense to mind his own
business. humanity would gain much by
the mprovement.--C Ceveland Herald.
We are somewhat surprised that the
Herald should publish this Washington
letter to the North american, in this
manner We published it on the 25th
inst, as as it was printed in the North
american, as follows:
"WAsHNaroN, July l7th.---It is we'll
understood here that the final orders for
the march of the Federal army towards
Richmond, did not meet with the cordial
approval of gen. Scott, who entertained
tho opinion and belief that the troops
were not in the thorough condition neces-
sary for the emergency that might arise.
In another week, or fortnight at least, all
would have been ready, but the orders
from the President were imperative, and
were, therefore, obeyed."
1t will be observed that the Herald sup
pressed all after the word "arise," which n
states that "the orders from tie President
were Imperative, and were, therefore,
obeyed." Does the President need this
suppression of facts?-Statesnadn

Complaints ofour Army Ohiccrs
npninIs the tsOVcrnIncnt.

Major General Mcclellan recently noti-
fed the War Department that it would
be in his power to oxtinguish rebellion
in Western Virginia, with the aid of but
three good Coloncls of Regiments
Now that he has taken command Of the
forces on the Potomac, it is to be hoped
that he will insist upon having not three
but fifty. Officers, graduates of West
Point, who have spent years in the SER
vice of their country, and who are thor
oughly experienced, deserving and trust
worthy, are scattered over the North, far
from the scat of war, who would be
much better suited for command of our
brave volunteers than the respectable law
ycrs, merchants, shocmakers, and politi-
clans, who have been entrusted with the
fate ofso many thousands Of our patriot
ic fellow citizens in arms. Many ofthem
earnestly besought Secretary Cameron
and General Scott that they might be
permitted to lend their aid in suppress
ing iasurrection but have been coldly re-
pulsed. Why is Col. G. f. Smith, one
of the Gallant heroes Of the Mexican war
permitted to rush out the best period of
his life at Governors Island, instead of
assuming the position that properly pc
longs to him in Virginia? What has
Colonel May, twice brcveted for bravery
done, that he is not allowed to 60 near
the field of action? Majors Gifts; Sibley,
Waite, and others, in what respect arc
they inferior to Genrcals Patterson and
Butler, that the latter should be foster.
ed while they are ignored?
The whole staff at West Point. we
learn, have been longing for field on
which to display their devotion to their
country, and have begged that gentleman
who left Texas on parole might tempor-
arily supersede them, but government
had paid no attention to the request
Then the ablest and bravcst of our cav

and Detroit o. else buried at Forts Inde-

The Indignation Of the whole North is
aroused against the Cabinet of President
Lincoln, and its removal is demanded on
grounds so imperative that they will be
insisted upon, until the incompetent and
untrustworthy persons who surround
the Executive shall have been deprived
of the responsible position they occupy,
Every day developes some new corrup-
ton or instance of favoritism and mis-
rule. 1t is alleged, with grounds of Gre
dence that cannot be disputed that the
motives for leaving our regiments so
badly commanded have been, in great
measure personal. This should all be-
made to cease at once, and new regime
should commence. which will put the
efficient army officers now languishing in
inactivity in the places which are theirs

w no Did II.

The great question now is, who prccip-
itated the unlucky movement against the
Confederate forces, by which the Federal
troops under General Mcdowell suffered
a terrible defeat at Manassas junction,
and were forced to retreat in disorder to
their quarters at Alexandria and Airing
ton Heights, One black Republican pa
per thinks Providence had direct hand
in it. Anothe: puts it all down to Gen
era Patterson. The President, it would
seem, thinks General Mcdowell is CEN
surable, for General Mcclellan has been
called to take his place. and the telegraph
lays all the blame on the teamSters at
tached to the army, who, poor devils,
seeing danger menacing them, took fright
and run, causing everybody elso to run.
Any one, or all these causes may be sat
isfactory just as one happens to fancy
But 1t appearcs to us, that the "forwa ard
movement propelled by Mr.. f, Blair in
his New York and Washington speeches,
had more to do with it than anything
else. Blair went to New York brimfull
of fight, lie there made a speech, about
the first of July, in which he scoldcd Gen.
Scott right handsomely fer the dilatory
manner in which he was proceeding. and
cited the old General to the beneficial re-
suits growing out of the active move
mentS at camp jackson and Boonville,
the most direct effect of which has been
to throw into Missouri about 10000
troops, the most of whom could havo
been better employed elsewhere. The
thing took with the Tri5aRe and all the
blood and thunder papers. Blair went to
Washington; saturated his brother, Mont
gomery Blair, with all his "forward to
Richmon" movements; urged him. as
his Post Office duties were not very
important. to take on himself some of
Cameron's responsibilities. He being,
moreover, busy in divers pecuniary spec

arts aroused to the necessity of doing
something quickly. whether the chief of
the army was ready for it or not. We
have evidence Of tie New York Connie
reial, that General Scott yielded an
unwilng assent to these hasty move
ments-he was not ready but gave way
before the pressure of the Blair faction
and the war members of the Cabinet
The sequel is told in the defeat and route

be denounced as secessiouists and traitors.

Another Kind OF Deadly Wcnp-

a young mechanic in Detroit, Michi-
gan. named Stephen Bowerman, has in
vented a battery by which it is claimed
that three hundred and twenty balls per
minute can be discharged with an accurate
range of nine hundred yards. Six man are
required to work it. The battery comprises
thirty-two Mimic rifle barrels, set in tour
cases or banks which revolve around a
common centre. Each section or case is
separate, and after the barrels are dis
charged, may be removed reloaded and re
placed without ceasing the the revolutions.
Spring hammers raised by means of
cams, fall upon the percussion caps and
discharge the pieces. The inventor claims
that the battery is able to sweep space
of four hundred feet in one minutes time,
and like line in two minutes more
This deadly machine has been named the
"Pale Horse" 1t carries the means of
destroying itself-a magazine capable of
blowing it to pieces in case it is necessary
to do so to preserve it from the hands of
the enemy The men working it are
protected by a roof-like structure of sheet
iron, The Common Council of Detroit
are taking active measures to bring out
the invention.

Some of the Republican press are severe
on Con. Scott for ordering the attack be.
fore he was ready. The Indiana State
Jouraol says;
"lf General Scott did it, he is not the
man for the crisis. If ho did it fearful
ly and hcsitatingly, under the clamor of
the New York press, he is still not the
man he ought to be-"
1T is no elevation of that matter to
say that the General may not have known
mat the enemy was SO strong, 1t was
his business to know, at least with an
approach oxactness."
1t is well understood that Mr.. Lincoln
himself ordered tho attack, and if it had
been successful tho air would be filled with
praises to tho "old Rail Splitter" The
Republicans blame almost every person,
but not ono word Of condemnation for
the President Statesman.
