Treason and LeniencY.

Were not experience using US to the
greatest novelties, we should be surprised
to learn that rebels still occupy depart
ments of the government at Washington.
Has the president no means of ascertain
ing the fact of treason that it must remain
50 long unavoidable that Government is
supporting traitors, besides allowing them
to act as spies for the rebel army? Is
the cabinet so demented that all that the
people ard the Government are doing must
be worse than thrown away, by the treach-
cry Of office holders? Was it not enough
TO lose our forts, our minis, our war ma
terial, and other public property by seces-
sion, and must We now add to all this the
defeat in the first great battle with the
rebels. through treason of a General p
Besides we now have man for Secretary
of War, who is said to have the reputa-
ton of a sharper; already the land mourns
the daily occurrence of monstrous frauds
and disgusting favcritism. Is the nation
SO thoroughly corrupted that it is unrea-
sonable to expect return to the example
of the better days Of the Republic?
Let the people in thunder tones demand
she removal of any member of the Cabinet
upon whom the plague spot of fraud or
corruption can be proved. As to the
traitor Patterson, who has lost US a battle,
let him be hung upon a gallows higher
than Haman or any other traitor ever
graced. The people have borne foolery
long enough. 1t is now said that the
blockade is mere sham, the men to whom
it is entrusted allowing such vessels as
they wish to favor, to pass uninterrupted
If this is true. the men ought to be re-
moved at once, and others more reliable
put in their places. It is to be hoped that
treason and fraud may be purged from
the Governments and the army, and then
we may reasonably expect victory to perch
upon our banners.

The Blockade Below New Orleans
Condiments TO the earr,ana

Mr.. Russell, in his letters from the seat
of war gives the following, as the language
of a Kentucky Secession Editor, which we
commend to the especial attention of any
citizens who favor Secessioni8ts
When the bow-legged, wooden-s hocd,
sour-krout, sinking, bologne sausage eat
ing, demonstrating Dutch sons of -
from Cairo had accomplished the brilliant
feat of taking down the Secession flag on
the river bank, they were pointed to anoth-
er flag Of the same sort, which was flying
gloriously and defantly about two squares
distant, and which their guns did not cev-
er, and de6ed, yea, double-big, black-dog
dared, Gas We used to say at school) to
take that flag down. The cowardly pups,
the sheep-dogs, the sneaking skunks dare
not do Sc, because those twelve pieces Of
artillery were net bearing upon it."

Two Sides to the Matter.

Much has been said against the sug-
gestions of journalists upon matters OF the
war, implying that certain leading jour
nails, such as the Tribune at New York,
and its namesake at Chicago, have done
harm by the course pursued by them
With neither the capacity nor disposition
to assume the very grave task of deciding
upon the correctness or incorrectness Of
the recommendations made by these able
contemporaries, we may very properly offer
few remarks upon the liberty INDUCED
in by them: 1t is true on one hand that,
in general, matters should be left to the
discretion and direction Of the men whom
the country and the government have Sc
lected to manage them-but, on the other
hand, it is the uadoubted right, assWell as
the duty, Of every citizen to fully soruti-
nize the conduct Of every official member
of the government or the army. The peo-
pie are the sovereigns in this country, for
whom the government and the war are ad-
ministered and carried on, and the sove-
reign has the unquestionable right to criti-
else the public servants. Unfortunately
for those who have loudly complained Of
the journals which have used freedom in
this matter, the battle at Bulls Run has
showed an astonishing condition Of affairs
in the army, from which only disaster
could be expected. We are now Informed
that Gen Mcclellan is introducing various
"Yefornes," from which we may anticipate
the most desirable results and what is
all this but an acknowledgement that
changes were greatly needed? And shall
we blame the editors who were complain
ing of condition Of things which needed
reforms? Why were not these needed
changes made long ago? Did not Gen,
Scott understand what was needed, or did
he not exercise vigilance enough to detect
the monstrous defects? Sc long as many
things are manifestly wrong, we think the
wisdom of complaints is clearly shown )
attempts to condemn or silence criticisms
have rather bad face. All we can ask
is, that every man using his sovereign free
dom in criticising officials, shall do il
in manner and with a motive becoming
SO grave matter It now turns out that
very small amount of additional care
and prudence relating to the late battle,
would have secured a glorious victory, and
this shows that the advance would not
have been premature, had all been done
that could and should have been done, anC
that the people had right to expect
We think the danger arising from keeping
silent and allowing nal administration tt
proceed without exposure far greater thar
any evil naturally growing out of the full
est liberty complained of. The course o
events has fully justified the complaints
made against the army, and proven The
error of those persons who have censurec
the critics.

Not Inconsistent.

10 superficial view It may appear very
distressing that affairs are in such state
at Washington. We hope however that
timid individuals will console themselves,
if by no other considerations, By the good
old doctrine of St. Paul, tLat "All things
work together for good" In the first place
we know that the President is one Of the
most gifted and best men in the country,
not only unsupported, but like Caesars
wife, above suspicion. We know also,
that the men whom be has selected for his
advisers are capable, never breath being
uttered against one Of them on this score,
excepting Sec. WelIes, of the Navy, and
this probably not amounting to much
We do not believe that President and
Cabinet could be selected from the whole
country, Or world, of greater competency
for the extraordinarily important duties
now deyolviug upon the Government and
every man should feel and believe, that
those persons at the head Of affairs know
the whole case, and what is for the best,
far better than other men having less OPP
portunitics and giving far less attention to
them; therefore we can in our patience
possess cur souls, only that we OCCASION
ally get cur blood up, and wish we had al
mighty power, to dash the rebels to death
1t is great work the Government has in
hand, and it takes considerable space of
time to do it in, and it is really surprising
that SO much has been done in so brief a
space Of time, little over two months since
the taking Of Fort Sumter,
On the other hand it is a great aid to the
Government that its attention is called
to various points by talented gentlemen of
the Press, suggestions being thus made of
points which might not otherwise occur to
the minds Of the several departments. We
do not doubt that the heads of the depart
ments read daily the leading journals, de-
irving from them all the aid they can, 1t
has been said that 1.-TWO heads are better
than one - and if this is true, it follows
that three heads are better than two, and
SO on, even the comparative simpleton
sometimes thinking of something important
which escaped the attention of q great
mind. We must not expect to succeed in
the greas work of putting down this rebel
lion and establishing republicanism in the
Union, without calling into requisition the
utmost power of human intellect united
with the utmost sacrifice, and these condi-
tions cannot be obtained excepting through
such Christening as We got at Bulls Run
Ii the utmost intellectual effort possible,
and due sacrifice had been made in the
last battle, tie victory would have been
ours; wanting these it weuld have been
tee cheap losing the victory through wan.
of price to be paid, the loss Of it will lead
to the Offering Of a greater price, when a
greater victory is offered Us, involving the
final and utter defeat of the fends who
are striving to drive freedom from the face
Of the earth. It will DC seen therefore, that
criticisms by the Press are not ineonsig-
tent with great ability in the Cabinet.

News Monge-s.

News AEonge-s.
4 gleat annoyance if not serious evil,
is found in the sensation reports telegraph
ed from the seat of war We cannot agree
with the sentiment, that tie first telegraph
ie reports of matter of interest, a battle
for instance, are the most reliable. The
city dailies are bound to make fortune
out Of the demand for war news, and there
fore, with motives almost as commendable
as the army contractor who aims to de-
fraud the government, the publishers en-
ploy men CT questionable veracity to ill
their columns with fabrieations, instead OF
truthful artlc, upon events ard matters
Of interest. The men who send on daily
telegraphio dispatches know that, in order
to keep up the business, articles must be
supplied, whether true or false, of an excl
ting kind. Hence when nothing Of espec-
ial interest is transporting in the army du-
ring considerable time, lest the public in
terest might flag and the sales of papers
fall Of, the Imagination is drawn upon, men
are employed to manufacture news,
who go about like hungry animals seeking
food, to find something that can be
blown up like soap bubble, to entertain
readers. The interest Of tue employer de-
mands such services as viii make his "a
per the most saleable; as will keep up the
war excitement, making it appear for days,
weeks, and months, that ''Ihe grand ar
my is just about to advance to Rich
mond :" that great events" are about to
transpire
1t is by no means hard to perceive show
corrupt, fraudulent and vitiating is this
whole plan, which as already suggested
is on q par with the dishonest contractor
who is bound to make a fortune out of the
war honestly, if he can, but to make it
any way If the articles frequently pub
lished upon what the government is doing
were true, it is easy to be seen that the
publication must have pornicious effect
answering the purpose Of spies to tie enc
my, furnishing the confederates journals,
detailing all they care to know of our prep
arations and movements in time to make
the best arrangements in their power to
defeat the movements of the federal army.
To illustrate: since the defeat at Bulls
Run, and Mcclellan has been put in COM
mand, it has been published abroad that
the war hereafter is to be wagod mainly by
artillery, and that large orders for this
kind of arms have been made by the Gov
crnment. Now let US suppose that the
statement is true; in that case ought the
purpose to have been revealed to the enc
my, thus enabling him to take advantage
Of the information Ought not all such mat
tors to be kept secret, allowing no one out
side the army to learn either the plans or
the measures to be pursued and used
It was recently announced that Gen. Scott
had seen and felt the evil Of this indiscrim-
mate babbling by indiscreet newsmongers,
but we Do not perceive that the evil prac-
tice has been discontinued.

ANOTHER PARTY LINE OBLITERATED.-
J. p. Thomas, Postmaster at Sheboygan
Falls for eight years past, has recently been
removed, and Col. Silas Stedman, O Re-
publican, takes the Office; whe is so trail
torcus to contend, that party lines have
not been ignored Mr. Thomas was a
Douglas Democrat, and no other obiec-
ton was urged against him.--INiI Neecs.
A Republican United States Senate has
just elected John ". Forney, a Douglas
Democrat, Clerk, and Republican House
of Representatives has elected Emerson
Etheridge, a Bell and Everett man. Clerk.
A Republican President has appointed
John J. Cisco, Of New York, Democrat,
Assistant .. S. Treasurer and the tele-
graph informs US that Hon. Joseph Holt,
Of Kentucky, a Democrat, will probably be
appointed United States Judge. Nine
tenths of all the postmasters in the land
are Democrats, and large proportion,
probably one-half of the newly appointed
army officers are Democrats Notwith-
standing all this, every time one of the
relics of the late Buchanan administration
is removed from office, the Democrats raise
the cry of prescription, and are terribly
incensed.
How came these Democrats in office
When their party came into power, the ap-
pointees of another administration had to
make place for them. To the vietors be-
long the spoils, was the discovery they
made, and as they didn't patent-right it,
haven't the Republicans the right to use
it? But we sustain the war, say these
injured individuals. But won't you do it
if you are not retained in Office? If JEFF. Da-
Wis Or Breckenridge could have been pres
ident they too would have sustained the
war if one had been made on the Union.
That they couldn't always have the offices
is the cause of the war.
Gentlemen, can't you dry up your eter-
nal belly aching about Offices? You secur-
ed yours by the success Of your party. By
its defeat some Of you at least will lose
them.-Portage Register.
