Res- From Maine to Minnesota the press
is giving expression to the growing discon-
tent of the country at the usurpations of
Lincoln and the burdens imposed upon it
by his despotic government The people,
too, in primary assemblages, are speaking
out, in unmistakable language their pur-
pose to resist a war which-nominally wa

paid and an abiect poverty for which there
is no cure. If the discomfort, in the
North, has already reached this point, what
may be expected when the government of
ficers are abroad, demanding the payment
of the direct, excise, and income taxes, and
armed with power to imprison the poor
whose ability to pay them has been preven-
ted by the ruin of their trade ? When it
is remembered, too, that winter is at hand,
with all its demands for food. fuel, and raj

dreary one, and the consequences, in the
cities, must be riot, robbery, and bloodshed

cost of many articles of prime necessity

public debt demanding the payment of
thirty millions of interest, annually, and

BeA- Washington kilograms reveal the
startling information that Prince Napoleon
does mt think Beauregard is much of a
General, but that Johnston is, and that he
has poor opinion of our Manassas troops.
The Prince has just about sense enough
to estimate men by the amount of tinsel
with which they are decorated, or he would
never have spoken lightly of an army that
had just achieved the most signal victory
of the past century. It may be, however
and that is most probable-that the tel

been devoted to the renovation of the White

deodorizing in an eminent degree--it is a
filthy hole. 1t is also stated that the Pres
ident has ordered the work on the Capitol
extension to be resumed. This, of course,
is lie, and is promulgated for the pur-
pose of deceiving the people of the North
as to the safety of Washington. The gov
eminent hasn't the money, even if it has
the will, to expend upon such work.

nrn Mhn1 Win Enrlnnd and France 4

EA- What will England and France do
towards the recognition of the independ-
ence of the Confederate States when they
hear of the battle Of Manassas? This
question is often asked, but no one can an
Iswer it, and our opinion is that too much
anxiety is manifested on this point. The
South has set out to secure its independ-
ence with its own strong arm; and as
much as we might be benefited by an ear
ly recognition on the part of those pow
crs, the way to secure it is to show our
ability to work OUT our own deliverance
without aid or sympathy from any quar-
ter. England and France, whenever they
do act, will be guided by interest, and nc
entreaty or solicitude, on our part, can in.
fluence the time or direction of their de.
cson. The cause of humanity may be
subserved by their intervention, so far as
the same may hasten the termination of a
bloody, unnatural, and causeless war; but
even that motive can not be brought into
play by any display of anxiety for its ex
ercise in our behalf. When we prove oul
ability and determination to defend our
rights and to force recognition of our in
dependence, it will be acknowledged ant
if the necessities of England and France
force them to an early recognition, we shall
owe it to their own self-interest rather thar
to any sympathy with the justice of oul
cause. That we should look, with inter
est, to their action, is natural enough bu
no expectations based upon it should, fo
moment, relax our energies; and especi
ally should we suppress every manifesto
ton that squints at dependence upon thos'
powers for aid and comfort.

The Ball opened in East Ten
neSSee,

For some time it has been known that Captain
Thornburg of Union county, strong Lincolnite,
has been organizing Military Company for the
avowed purpose of aiding the subjugation of the
South. The arrangements being complete on Fri
day last they took up the line of march for Kew
lucky, to unite with the Lincoln forces there being
organized, and TO return to their own native sec
ton, to re-enact upon the soil of East Tennessee
the damnabe deeds that have marked their course
in Missouri Virginia and Maryland.
Fortunately however report of their move
ments reached the of Lieut.. Col. f. NJ Walker,
ia command at Cumberland Gap. Forthwith he
dispatched the gallant Capt, II. NJ, Ashby, with a
portion of the Cavalry under his command, TO in
tercept the passage and if possible to arrest the
ring leader, They came in contact with Capt
Thomburg and his traitor band of 80 men, near
Rogers Gap, in Scott County. They were armed
with John Brown pixies and pistols, bowie knives
aud some few rifles.
A surrender was demanded. It twas refused and
a charge was made upon them which put tho
whole party TO flight Several shots were fired
one of which took effect in the neck Of Capt Thorn
burg checked his locomotion and forced him 4

divided by four. The idea of their beat

peA. The Washington correspondent of

old Abe as saying that it is important to
conquer the rebels in order to obtain de-
cent terms of separation. Fifty years of
fighting will secure no better terms than
eternal separation from lawless barbarans,
and these terms were offered before blow

a failure, and its utter inability to appre-

BaF- The Lincoln Congress, in adiustin

Reg The Lincoln Congress, in adjusting
its direct tax list, apportioned to the sece-
ded States the sum of 81 ,637 ,295, to be
raised by abolition tax -gatherers for the
purpose of defraying the expenses of the
abolition army The fools knew, of course,
that they could not get dollar of this
sum, but so assessed it for two reasons
first, because to have omitted the seeded
States. would have been an indirect ac-
knowledgoment that they no longer consti-
tute part of the original Union and,
second, because such distribution of the
tax-on paper-might deceive the aboli-
ton States into the belief that their share
of the crushing burden is lighter than il
really is, whilst, in truth, they have tc
raise S7,637, 295 in addition to the amount
with which they are assessed.

who entered his lines in search of the body

would be taken prisoners if they came
