A SPECIMEN HERo.-The Louisville Courier
gives the following sketch, which may answer
for that Of thousands Of the many spirits who
are leading Off in revolution at the South:
"Co Jack Allen, the filibuster, was in the
city Yesterday, arranging for regiment or two
to aid the Southern Confederacy in fight, If
it needs men. That cause enlists the sympa.
thies and services Of the true men Of the South.
Allen is an acquisition to any army. He fought
at San Jacinto; was in the Mexican war, and
under Lopez in Cuba. He served under Walk.
er in Nicaragua-and ever with gallantry and
conceded ability. There are many filibusters-
there is but one Jack Allen"
Anything to live upon, but by preference the
license of war and revolution, is what these
Col. Jack Aliens whose number is legion,
want, and what they see prospect Of obtain
ing in this Southern Confederacy. What is
going on in the Gulf region, is not more rev.
oluton as against the Union, than it is a social
revolution, by which the Col. Jack Aliens, who
have nothing to do, and who do not know how
to do anything except to fight, are to enjoy
military rank and pay and opportunities for
plunder, at the expense of their quiet and in,
dustrious neghbors.

THE Policy OF THE ADMIyIsTRATIoY.-The
disunion Senators exhibit great anxiety to know
what the policy Of the Administration is to be,
and we will endeavor to enlighten them, at least
as to one part it.
The country having been under the control
for many years, of politicians whose ultimate
aim has been disunion, and the appointing
power having been steadily used to Gil all de-
partments Of the public service diplomatic
civil, military, and naval, with nullifers and
secessionists, the first duty of Mr.. Lincoln is to
reform the personnel Of the Government, BY
turning traitors out Of office aud putting patriots
into their places. President can do nothing
except through the executive subordinates, and
the first step towards putting down the treason
which atilicts the present time, is to remoyo lis
aiders, abettors, and sympnthizers, from all DO
sitions of power. That is the first se2 The
second step will be indicated in duo time.

terday's Baltimore Sun:
"ISDIAS OurRAGEs IN TExAs.-Serera1 Per.
sons KiUed.-The Indians are again commenc.
ing their outrages in Texas. A letter dated
San Antonio, March 8, says:
"Our town is full Of Indian news. Our eX-
press came in yesterday evening. Twenty
four persons had been killed. Mr.. Clem came
in this afternoon. A family had been murdered
in the Atasoosa, beyond the Medina
"a letter from Fredericksburg notes several
Indian depredations about ten miles from that
place. The settlers had attacked them, and
during the fight Mr.. Calwel was wounded
badly by shot in the face, and Mr.. Cal
well, jun, was also wounded. Parties Of Indians
were rowing over frontier sections of the State,
in one place killing man named Eastwood
in another place, two others named Adams and
Robinson"
If the United States troops were regarded by
the people Of Texas, as OF any service in pre-
venting these Indian "outrages," that protec'
ton would hardly have been given up so easily.
But in truth, they were not believed to be OF
any service. That opinion of them has always
been expressed here by Gov. Houston and
other members Of Congress from Texas.

"And that, in the event Of refusal by the

R1tlIC at Lees burg,

A battle took place at Leesburgh, Va, on

ment and rccey cd their fire at so yards, and
returned it with their pistols, and fell back in

and about 400 men.
A prisoner taken mentions he has ,00C

The Hon. Andrew johnson, in hi,
speech Rt Dayton, used the following
language. 1t is true to the letter:
Il would not be personal, but an Abo.
Iitionist is as much of secessOnist as
any to be found in South Carolina
Now, rs much as these disunonsts of
both classes abuse each other, they, never
theless unite in laying violent hands up-
on the Government that never harmed
either. If were an abolitionist, would
break up the Union for the disruption
Of the Union must inevitably destroy and
obliterate slavery. Hence we are for the
prosecution of the war to save the Gov
ernment as founded by our fathers for
restoring the Constitution as we received
it, without regard to the peculiar institu-
tons of any State. That q secessionst
and an aboltionist are on q par, | can
prove by single syIlogism--an abo-
ltionist is disunionist dSunionst is
a secessionist therefore, n secessionist is
an abolitionist y
Every man who, with the New York
Tribune, urges the war to be used for the
determination of slavery, is rs much an
enemy to the government as are the reb.
els who muster to the call of Jeff. Davis
1t is our icrvcnt prayer that Mr.. Lincoln
may continue to keep his ears closed
against their vllainous appeals.
