But when Sumter had fallen, and the
President issued his Proclamation calling
for troops to defend the Capitol, and to
redress the wrongs that had been endured
nearly all these Loco Foco editors wheeled
into line and gave cordial support to the
government A few indeed gave it gin
gerly, qualified support--but there were
others who, SO far from yielding it any
support whatever, daily condemned its
policy and course Was this to be tolera-
ted? Surely no right thinking man will
say that reasonable press should be
permitted in our midst at a time when
government is struggling to maintain its
very existence. 1t is, then, such men
and such editors as these that have been
assigned comfortable quarters in the new
Bastile, called Fort Lafayette" and most
richly have they deserved their fate. We
trust they may there learn valuable les
son, and, should they ever get out again,
be faithful to the government which pro-
tects them.
There are, moreover, few individuals
still at large that it would not seriously
damage to place along with them. Wit
ness the following Resolution, found
among the proceedings of a Democratic
State Convention, held at Augusta, on the
14th day of August last:
ResoIred, That stripped of all disguise, the
| attempt of the Administration to reconstruct
the Union by force, is practical disunion, and
a policy which can only result in irreConcila-
| BILE alienation and permanent separation, and
| we appeal to all true friends of the Union to
join with in effort to stay its fratricidal
| hand and inaugurate pacific policy, which
| holds out the only hope for our now distrac-
| ted Union
Every line of this Resolution is redoleni
| of Treason, and the man who would offer
or vote for it is black hearted Traitor
! We give it as specimen Of patriotism
| that no true American could exhibit. AL
most every day our eye lights upon, OF
our ears tingle with some similar assuran.
| ces Of democratic support to the gov.
ernment all of which go far to establish
our conviction, that the rebellious states
still have advocates and sympathizers in
| our midst-mcn whose hearts are full oi
latent treason, and who would rejoice tc
see the flag of the Confederate States tri
umphant, and our glorious National Ban
ner trailing in the dust. We do not charge
| the editor of the Democrat 6. Sentinel with
being one OF these, but is he not found il
their company? We therefore earnestly
fully and prayerfully, and then ask himsel
the question: Hare l done all that M,
country deserves and requires Of me?

There is and has been vast difference
between the tone of the Republican press,
and that of the Loco Foco press in regard
to the Southern Rebellion. 1t is well
known, that whatever differences of opin-
ion might have existed amongs: them be-
fore upon that subject, after the inaugu-
ration Of the Presidents policy, the Re
publican editors all over the country were
unanimously in favor of the War, and
have remained so ever since. Whatever
they may have said in relation to the man
ner in which it should be conducted, they
have never declaimed against it. We re-
peat it, no Republican editor has ever said
aught against the Var; and our regret is,
that we cannot say as much of our neighbor
up-street and all other Loco-Foco editors
What are the facts After Abraham
Lincoln had fairly and constitutionally
been chosen President of the Republic,
the hotheads of South Carolina, seeing
that Slavery could no longer rule, resolved
to break up the government. Here was
the germ of rebellion, and had an Andrew
Jackson then been President, he would
have crushed it at once But ''the old
public functionary'' said he was powerless
and could do nothing, and contented him
self by telling the people that "the agita-
ton of the Slavery question in the North,
had at last produced its natural results"
Loco-Foco editors were not wanting to sus-
tain james in his position, and from that
time forward it seemed that his whole stu
dy was ho'o not to do anything, but to hand
the government over to his successor in
the worst condition possible. He succeed
ed admirably in this, but meantime the
rebellion assumed gigantic proportions
State after State had gone into it, batter
les had been built, ornaments collected,
every warlike appointment made, and the
Stars and Stripes, our National ensign,
had been desecrated, and the Federal au-
tlority utterly repudiated and set at def
ance. Government vessels had been fired
into when III the act of entering an Amer
ican harbor, and gallant band in Fort
Sumter were beseiged by hundreds and
thousands of armed troops, rallying under
tie standard of Secession 1t was 6ecia-
red that Major Anderson and his men
must either surrender, or be starved or
otherwise annihilated. Were they to be
reinforced and provlsoned by our govern
ment! What said these Loco-Foc ed-
tors then Nothing but peace. Peace ~
Again: When it was well known that
organized and systematic efforts had been
and were being made to precipitate Mary
land and Virginia into the mad vortex of
Secession, ard then seize upon Washington
City and drive the officers of our govern
ment from the Capitol when every act
that a proud, insolent, oyerbearing enemy
could commit, short of open warfare, had
been resortcd to to humiliate and destroy
our beloved government, every precaution
that was taken to secure the National
honor aud safety, these Loco Foco editors
denounced as aggressive,-they croaked
all the while about Coercion and with
the declaration of the Secessionists that
they were "foreyer out of the accursed
Union" they still talked Of reconstruction
and peace.

DRAFTING IN New YoRK.-I.etters
from the highest military authorities at
the Elmira rendezvous, state that recruit
ing goes on SO slowly that the Governor
of New York will be compelled to draft.
An order to that effect will soon be pub
ilshed. OF the necessity of this step
there can be but little question, when it is
added that of $4,000 men recently called
for by the Governor, six weeks since, on
ly some 1900 have responded.

.'Sustaining the Presidents

We have long been an occasional rea-
der of the Democrat d; Sentinel, and have,
after mature reflection, come to the con-
clusion, that while its editor is "a fellow
of infinite jest and most exquisite fancy"
he is withal fellow who richly deserves
to be closely watched. His articles, some
of which are exceeding ponderous, are
always prepared with the most scrupulous
care; his ingenuity knows no bounds;
and his sophistry, which would seem to
be inexhaustible, is so often substituted
for sold argument, that the unwary are
apt to be deceived by it. AS we said be-
fore, then, he deserves watching; and
now that he and we are men and brethren
of the same fraternity, we have concluded
to exercise occasionally little supervisor
ry care in that direction.
In his issue of last week, the editor of
the Dem, Dc Sent. has an article under the
above caption, and, singularly enough, To-
Gates himself on both sides Of the ques-
ton. That is to say, he gracieusly ''sus-.
tains' the President in the change which
he ordered to be made in Gen Fremonts
Proclamation, while he quite as ungraci-
ously fails to sustain him, In the course
pursued by his administration towards Sc
cessionists and Secession Presses in the
the President and his cabinet will still
move on sin the even tenor of their way ;"
nevertheless. let us look into these mat
ters and see how they are. Reversing
the order of the article in question, we
shall dispose of the latter part of it first.
Now, we believe it to be a fact, that the
Proclamation of Gen. Fremont, as origi-
ually promulgated, met the hearty and I'M
qualified appreciation of every man in the
North, who is not at heart sympathizer
with Rebellion. 1t had business jingle
about it, and honest men of all parties,
united in proiouncing it just the thing for
the crisis. They did not stop to inquire
whether it did or did not transcend, in
any way, any particular Congressional
enactment. They did not even think of
instituting such an inquiry under the cir
cunlstances. They knew that the Rebels
were waging an ungodly warfare against
the Constitution and the laws and that
by their own acts, they had placed them
selves in IA position in which they neither
asked nor were entitled to any protection
under them More than this, when the
Proclamation is changed, the distinction
would almost seem to be one without Il
difference. Still, President Lincoln.
whose tenderness for legal and consttu-
tional rights is so proverbiai, and whose
judgments against his crring brethren OF
the South arc always tempered with mer-
cy, saw Tit to keep on the safe side Of a
doubtful question, and made the change
In the Proclamation, at the request Of
Gen Fremont himself
For this act Of the President, the Dem
d; Sent says he has been fercely denoun-
ccd by the Republican press. Is Mis SO ?
We have, it is true, seen an occasional
article deprecatitg the exigency which in
duecd the Presidents action, but nowhere

Gen. Prices Report.

JEFFERSON CITY, Sept. 29.-General
Prices official report, giving somewhat
detailed account OF the battle of Lexing-
ton, has been received. The following
are the closing paragraphs: Our entire
loss in this series of engagements is 25
killed and y wounded The enemy's
loss was much greater The visible prints
of this almost bloodless victory are great
About $500 prisoners. among whom are
Coils. Mulligan, Marshall, Peabody, White
grover, Major Van Horn, and lis other
commissioned officers, five pieces of artil-
lery and two mortais, and 5000 stand of
infantry arms, a large number of sabres,
about 750 horses, many sets of cavalry
equipments, wagons, teams, ammunition,
more than 100000 worth of comnissary
stores, and large amount of other prop
erty. In addition to all this, | obtained
the restoration of the great seal of the
State, and the public records which had
been stolen from their proper custodian,
and about 100000 in money, of which
the bank at this place had been robbed,
and which l have caused to be returned
to it.
Col. Vaughan, prominent citizen of
Lexington, who witnessed the entire battle
and was at one time prisoner in the
hands of the rebels, asserts positively that
fully 500 of Prices army were killed.
The money of which Price says the bank
in Lexington had been robbed, is under
stood here to have been placed in Colonel
Mulligan's hands for safe keeping.

efforts-that have been made by Repu5-
licans to secure Union and Harmony
among all parties, and how those efforts
have been thwarted by designing political
tricksters in the Democratic party. Our
manhood now requires that we shall not
be idle. This is no time to loiter by the

WASHINGTON Cry, Sept 26-During
the last week it was so frequently reported
from day to day that our troops had taken
possession of Munson's Hill, that when,
lest night, this long expected event took
place, it found few believers among those
least excited by sensation rumors. A per-
sonal visit, however, places the fact beyond
doubt The American flag now floats
there In place of that of the rebels.
