A Great Mistake.

Thousands think that our country is
growing worse very fast, and that 1t never
was in SO bad a condition before, We
really think that this is great mistake.
The state of the country was never before
SO hop eful as at the present moment. The
worst condition the country was ever in,
was its most shameful and wicked submis-
sion to the slave power, when the smallest
number had the disposition and courage to
demonstrate against the rule of the mon
ster who fattens upon the unrequited Ia
Dor, and tears, and blood, and groans of
sacrificed millions of human beings. This
condition of moral apathy and mental
night has passed away, and the spirit of
Justice and of Freedom has taken posses
sion of a majority of the people, who have
now risen up to compel shareholders to sub
nit to the Government, which is no longer
to be perverted to further the purposes of
Shareholders. Henceforth our govern
mens is not to be controlled by class of
men whose unvarying character is seen in
this rebellion, as it has always appeared in
the oppression of the negro and CORES
bonding outrages upon freemen. Every
effort made by the South to perpetuate its
reign over the country and every blow
struck by freemen for the support of our
Constitution and the laws, directly tend to
the downfall of the oppressor and the Ill
timate extinction of the worst system of
oppression the sun ever shone upon. In
comparison with the great and glorious re-
suits which are sure to follow this war the
evils which it involves are no more to be
thought of than the sweat and fatigue Of
che husbandman in view of the ample har-
vest be expects. Never before in the worlds
history did such field present itself, in
which SO great results were at stake; new
er did labor, and suffering, and sacrifice
promise so much. Only the blind and
ignorant fail to see any good in the present
struggle. Such men foolishly ina CINE that
the slave power is worse than formerly !;
when the only difference is that they have
heretofore bsen deceived relating to the
character and purposes of the South. 1t
is not that the South has grown verse than
heretofore. while shareholders ruled the
country to promote their interests-which
Is all they want now-but it is in that the
North, or free States, have grown enough
better TO resist diabolical power to which
they have too long succumbed and pros
trated themselves.

Crime in High PlaC es.

Much is said Of Felon Floyd. Prentice
gives a Renaissance of On early theft of
this man in Kentucky. Ho is an old thief.
Fifteen or twenty years ago, when in Ken
lucky, he persuaded gentleman to allow
him to take fine span of horses to Viz
GINA to sell After months of delay the
rascal wrote back, representing that one
of the animals was sick, and hence the sale
had been delayed To an order to sell
Immediately at any price they would bring,
he made ne reply. The owner afterwards
learned that Floyd used the horses for bis
own carriage and that they Were the best
in the county, the obtaining of shem be-
ing base swindle.
There are too many men in high places
ike Floyd. A few years since while in
Philadelphia we learned that one of our
Foreign representatives who has recently
returned home, had habit of not paying
his honest debts. 1t was currently repor-
ted that mechanic went to his residence
on the evening of a party, and refused tc
leave until paid bill, and that the Hon.
| CD had to she'll out, to avoid a sensation
Buchanan appointed both those men to Of
fee. We fear there are toe many of this
class in the Republican party, from the
fact that astounding frauds have been re
Gently perpetrated in army contracts, and
that many members of Congress are averst
to investigations. Far too little attention
has been paid to moral character, in botl
appointing and electing men to Office
The idea Of sending some thieves to pris
on, and far greater ones to Congress, Oh
appointing them to Office, is teo ridiculous
| " absurd, as we'll as harmful. The frs
question relating to office, should be, IL
he an honest man." Integrity is before
talent. The evil is that bad men contro
eaucusses, get themselves nominated tt
subordinate places, and then 80 up tt
higher stations, without any regard to hon
esty or capacity either. The people mus
attend caucusses to see that honest ant
true men are appointed delegates to con
yentions. Lincoln and his Secretarie
must appoint only honest men under them
! and then won't we have a Golden ace. o.
real millennium! While this war is rid
ding the South and the country of the VIII
stuff that is found infinitely toe poor to b.
targets for our marksmen, we trust tha
the new administration will purge gu
what remains to irritats and disgrace tn,
body politie. Let the church pray, ant
all good men labour for the blessed day
that shall prove death to all rascals of tht

The Real Object

Hon. James B. Mexican, member of
Congress from New York, in reply to q
Union man in Baltimore, who rsques ted
him to use his influence to effect compra-
mise says:
You think that cur country is in peril be-
cause the politicians of the 'Rebel States"
demand. and those of the North deny, pro-
lection to Slavery in the Territories, for
getting that, until recently, during the
long years that Southern politicians dieta-
ted the policy of the Government, they
never made such a demand. Ne sir that
is but pretexs. not the cause. Southern
politicians have lost the control of our ma
tional affairs-hence this rebellion. An
admission made TO ne last winter by
leading member of Congress from the
South covers the whole ground. He said:
We have always ruled this country. and
we always will, or we will divide it, and
found great Southern slaveholding en-
pire." I recommended him for so frankly
admitting what knew to be his motives,
and said to him. You say nothing about
slaves escaping across the Free States in
to Canada, or about Slavery in the Terri
tories" He laughingly replied: These
things will do TO talk to the masses about,
but it Is just as tell you've have con-
trolled this Governments, we will control it,
or We will destroy it"
True Freeseil and anti-slavery men of
all classes have always seen the character
of the South, as exhibited at the present
time and as is admitted by themselves in
the above remark, and hence have consci-
cautiously opposed the sla7e power, which
has ruled the country up the election CT
Lincon. Fortunately for the cause of
Freedom the character Of the South is now
so fully understood that a united North,
not only comprehends the case, but is full
ly prepared to put down rebellion. The
only difference between tie South in this
rebellion, and what they have been for
years past, Is the growth in wickedness9re-
sulting from continued evil practice. So
long as the South could rule by trickery,
and fraud, and deception, they appeared
loyal, though st heart no more SO than at
this moment but no sooner we're th.y as
sured that these means could serve them
no lenger, than the same spirit and motive
which have always sctuated them broke
out in rebellion. And what are the OBJ
jects Of their aim, and the motives By
which they are governed? Just the same
that characterize thieves, robbers and pi-
rates. Just as we'll might ten or a hun
dred men in any town in this or any other
State, set themselves up as the rulers of
the people, and when not allowed to held
the offices lift up violent hands and hurl
destruction upon the people. Compro-
mise with the traitors would be even worse
than compromise with robbers, thieves and
pirates.

Battle at Bulls Run.

4 summary of this battle in which
20, coo Of our troops contested the forti-
fcations of the Secessionists, and gained
ground against several times their own
number during whole day, and then were
driven probably By fresh reinforcements
of the enemy, is found below from the
Chicago Tribune of the sd inst. All who
were in the battle seem to have done noblv
and considering the great disparity of
numbers against US, and the fact that the
enemy were in intrenchments which they
lad rendered as what they supposed i'm
pregnable, and upon the best ground they
could select, our force covered itself with
glory as far above that acquired by our
enemies, who kept their ground and dog
ged our army, as the sun exceeds a glow
worm.
The battle commenced on Sunday morn
ing at FIVE or six o'clock-the rebels hay
ing been reinforced by Johnston from Win
chester and by Jeff Davis from Richmond
to probably double the number of msn in
General McDowell's army. Up to seven
o'clock On Sunday evening the victory was
on our side, all the batter es at Bulls Run
having been taken, and the enemy pushed
back towards Manassas. From this point
of time the rebels, by some means yet
unknown, repulsed our columns, recovered
their ground and drove Gen Mcdowell
back through CentreviIle, Fairfax, and en-
to the starting point Of Arlington Heights.
The rebels, however, did not follow their
advantage, nor come anywhere near the
Notifications on the Potomac. It is refresh
ing to know that Gen. Patterson was all
this while at Harper Ferry. The num-
Der of killed On our side was first put at
5000 then at 5000 and lastly said to be
diminishing as more authentic accounts are
received. The New York Fire Zouaves
were first reported to have lost all but 200
of their number; nevertheless GOO OF them
returned to their camp. Col. Wilcox, the
gallant commander of the First Michigan
Regiment, was reported to be killed up to
a late hour last night. when he came to
life again, although seriously wounded.
THE LATEST DISPATCHES give much
more comfortable hue to the affair Sher-
man s famous battery has returned all
right. The 1st Conn, list 4. 7. and the
Fire Zouaves, supposed to have been cut to
pieces, have nearly all returned, and sew
eral of the regiments have taken their old
places around Arlington and Alexandria
Only $4,000 Of our men were engaged in
the fight and only 5000 at any one time
The work of recognizing the army has Wig
orously commenced, and the whole will soon
be on rs good footing as ever
