SEPIEMBEK Q, 10
only thing now necessary Is for the public to
repudiate the shoddy politicians Of all and
every party, and nominate their own ticket,
based upon the vigorous prosecution of the war
by land and sea, and pledged to strengthen the
government, and they will be able to rid
themselves of the woeful influence Of the party
trickstew, by sweeping them out of existence
and bnrying them so deep that no resurrection
will ever again bring them to the surface
Such victory would be one worthy of the
people Of the Empire State, and as important to
the future prosperity of the nation as the sup
preston of the rebels under JEFF. Davis, now
in arms against the wisest and freest govern
ment known to the civilized world
Glimpses OF the Campaign from South
ern Points OF View.
1t is not our intention to publish the opera
tons of our army in advance or to describe our
and comfort to the enemy but to lay before
the reader what the Southern army is doing or
intends to do, Us far as can be ascertained from
the Southern journals, is different matter.
That is perfectly legitimate. To-day we publish
some highly interesting extracts, from which
glimpses may be seen of the present and the
future. Nor are these extracts without their
lessons of instruction to the North. 1t is wise
to take lesson even from the enemy
It appears from letter to the New Orleans
Delta that it is the intention of the Southern
generals to occupy Baltimore as winter quarters
this fall, in order to secure shelter and supplies
for the large and needy force they now COM
mand on the other side of the Potomac. We are
told that to advance into Maryland is duty
they owe to that State in order to enamel
pate her from federal thraldom and that the
main consideration is not whether that is practi-
cable-for it is assumed that it is-but what po-
litical effect it may have at the North--whether
it may not arouse it into greater ardor and en-
thusiasm than did even the capture Of Fort
Sumter 1t seems that there are two parties at
the South, one OF whom encourages the crossing
of the Potomac, and the other keeping strictly
on the defensive. But from present appear
ances it would seem that the party favoring in
vasion Of the North are in the ascendant, and
will force the generals to try their hand in
Maryland; and if that should prove success,
then in Pennsylvania, and perhaps New Jersey
and New York, to say nothing of Massachusetts
and Bunker Hill. 1t turns out, however, that
the Southern troops who are to make this grand
condition for winter clothing, and that the rigors
Off Northern winter would speedily use them
up unless they soon obtain supplies.
But that is no easy matter, considering the
rebel government are without money or credit.
In the meantime the great hope of the South is
European Intervention, which, il is believed,
would bring all their troubles to a speedy end.
That, however. is a vain hope; and, if realized,
it would only prove the beginning of sorrows.
Some interesting particulars are given of
tie campaign in the West, to which the
Southern journals attach more importance
than we apparently do at the North. Ac-
cording to Kentucky paper, the true
line of operations and the only successful
way of invading the South is through Ken
lucky and Tennessee, by way of the Cumberland
Gap. The rebel journalist therefore demands
that State force be immediately enrolled to
resist the accumulation of federal troops in
Kentucky, and to preserve the strict neutrality
Of the State; which is nothing else than strict
nonsense. 1t is advised to bring public opinion
10 bear upon the Legislature now in session. il,
order to call convention for the 10th of this
month; and it was expected that the great bar
becue, to be held on Tuesday, would result in
such secession demonstration, under the aus
pieces of the Knights of the Golden Circle, as
would carry Kentucky out of the Union quicker
than even Virginia was spirited out at Rich
mOnd. This is what the advocates of
neutrality in Kentucky really mean and it will
take but very short time to develope their
plans. and then we shall see kentucky precisely
in the condition "a Missouri. Startling and
exciting events are evidently at hand
Poor Oip JOHN BlII.--Poor old John Bull is
in great distress again. This time il is not
dread OF the French, or alarm about his mis-
governed subjects in India or uncasness with
regard to his unemployed poor. 1t is our
