The Rebel Army COnfesscdIy
Wretcllcd.

We find in the Charleston Mercury this
unwilling confession of the deplorable con-
ditior of the rebel army on the Potomac:
The terrible sanitary condition of our
army on the Potomac is a matter of pain
rul interest TO the whole people of the Con-
federate States. There are few in the
Confederate States who have not near rela-
tives at Manassas or on the Mississippi.
And those who have not should be there
themselves. The frightful condition Of
camp is subject of universal interest and
alarm. Iu the spirit Of Spartin fortitude
we are willing that our troops should be
sacrificed. if need be, in the cause of the
country. But that they should fall victims
to the mismanagement Of an inefficient
department. is utterly unendurable. 1t is
not our business to depose and reform; but
1t is our duty to expose that inefliciency
which is disastrous to the public welfare.
Ten thousand lives are now in jeopardy
through this folly. The fruits of the great
battle at Manassas have been sacrafced 10
this almost criminal fatuity. 1t is time to
be done with it. The country must
be served. and personal predictions
on the part of our authorities must no
longer control our destinies and mar our
proceedings. The State is not to be sac
rficed to fancies. How much longer is
favoritism and folly to sacrifice lives and
obstruct our arms? Mothers, fathers,
widows, all cry aloud. and plead for those
they love.

THE ELECTION.

There was little or no excitement in any
Of the States where elections we're held
last Tuesday. As a general thing not one
half the usual vote was polled. The re-
suit has generally been the election of the
Republican and fusion tickets. Neither
party made a vigorous canvass, aud the
result in favor of the Republicans is
more matter OF chance, or luck. than
anything else. In this county. the elect
Ion of two Of the candidates on the Re-
publican ticket would have been changed
in favor Of The Democrats, If the Demo.
Gratis who stayed away from the polls in
West township. over and above the num-
Der of Republicans who did not vote
had voted.
The Republicans had their excuse ready
In the event Of their defeat, which was.
that their men had gone to the war. The
way the election has terminated, it would
seem that the Democrats have gone to the
war. and the Republicans have stayed at
home to do the voting In the language
Of the Arkansas girl. when kissed, we
dare them to do it again.

exceptions to the Governors declension to
make the appointments. when the declen-
