The Albany atlas boldly aiirms that " the indi-
" cations at Washington point to settlement OF
" this war upon the basis OF separation, and
" that Mr.. Lincoln openly urges its prosecution
Z" in order to secure the best terms OF separa-
ton. We have no doubt he would prefer the
90 restoration of the Union as it was; but loss
" hopeful of that now, he is specializing upon
" the terms of separation into two Confedera.
" cies."
We deny thiS fatly and entirely. Mr. Lin
coin entertains no treacherous and reasonable
secret purpose. If there are minds which toler-
ate or cherish such speculations, his is not one
of them. His only thought is to prosecute the
war until the rebellion shall be put down, the
Constitution vindcated, and the laws everywhere
obeyed. His only idea is to preserve the integ-
rity of the Republic.
IL The Anas aud its fellow managers and
leaders of the Soft Democracy think they can
better put forth their own policy by attributing
it to Mr. Lincoln, they will adopt that method.
But howsocver, or by whomsoever it may be put
forth, it viii be Indignantly repudiated by the
People. They mean, OF whatever sacrifices, TO
defend and maintain the national existence
alike against JEFF. Davis in the South and his
secret friends and allies in the North.

when tho men stand in their front capable Of

But it is not only i, time Of action, but in the
discipline and the organization OF the camp. the
good officer is needed. Indeed. unless the rank
and file have first come under bis personal infu-
ence, unless soldier and officer are put en- rap
port with each other 80 as to be the head and
body, "ft head to fit body" of the great ma
chine, precise the most curious mechanism,
and yet instinct with human intelligence and will
--unless these intimate relations be established,
then the soldier goes to battle inefficient and dis
organized. For the ordinary duties of the camp
beside, for the proper use and proper economy
of food for cleanliness Of tent and person, for
care of arms aad clothing, for habits of sober
ness and order--lor all these things and many
more that will make the wel-ordered camp, the
educated officer is indispensable. II is not
Through willfulness but through ignorance that
raw recruits need as much care and teaching as
cbildrea before they can be made good soldiers;
but COW with officers as much children as them
seyes in oil these duties can they ever learn
them A, 1t is we presume, the evidence of this
necessity in the camps, and the certainty that
all their own counsel is thrown away while this
reform is neglected, that prompts the Sanitary
Committee to take the interest they feel in this
list of West Point Graduates. Among these men
there ought to be many who would gladly serve
their country in places of trust aud responsible
IL and for which they are peculiarly fitted by
the education tho country gave them.

WEST POINT GRADUATES.

We are Indebted to the Rev. DIR. Bellows for
a list which we publish in another place, of
graduates of West Point who are not now in
service. We do not know that the list was
prepared by the wish Of the Sanitary Board,
but it may very properly be regarded as sug-
gestion quite in accordance with the duties Of
that body. That ignorance is tho root Of all
(" evil" we most OF us learned at very early
age, and the events of Sunday, the Dist of July
dies ire have impressed it upon our ma
turer years in way not likely to be forgotten.
The fatal want at Bull Run was the want OF
officers. The men were brave enough, and 90
probably the officers would have been in their
places; but to the duty Of fighting was added
the duty Of knowing and directing, and under
that added responsibility which it was impossible
for them to discharge, they failed altogether.
Ignorance was not only their own disgrace, but
a terrible misfortune to the whole country, and
of the evil of that day it was the prolific root.
IL is true that the best of officers may not al
ways make good soldiers; but it is certain there
are no effective troops that are not well COM
manded. We have no fear of the fighting quail
ties of our Northern army. Bat they must have
officers on whose military knowledge, discretion,
and on that coolncss coming from confidence in
Oae's own competency to command, they caa

The acts of violence which resulted in the de-

Mr.. Breckinridge, having dIned in Baltimore
on Thursday evening at the expense of the
Secessionists, attempted thereafter to make a
speech in response to a serenade. Precisely
what he would have said, had be found it pos
sbse to make an audible harangue, will probably
never be known. The tenor Of his thoughts,
however, may be gathered from few sentences,
wherein he denounced the acts Of the Admins
trstiOn as outrageous aud despotic, and impiousiy
prayed that the Government might receive
summary check. The audience, which appears
to have been large, numbering, indeed, several
thousand persons, did not seem inclined to listen
in patience, and showed no great respect for the
late Vice-President. Without seeking for choice
phases, they informed the speaker that he lied,
and. with more force than elegance, requested
him to suspend his insulting TRADE. After much
disturbance and some fighting, he found it neces
sary to yield TO the rude pressure Of public
opinion, and accordingly retired from his position
Mr.. Yallandgham, who had the impudence to
be about early in the evening, and who was
clearly lying in wait to repeat some of the treas
enable utte RANGES he has lately given vent to in
Congress, did not deem it prudent to offer any
remarks, and Baltimore was spared his cratOry.
This disturbance cannot in any way be charged
upon the military, whose occupation of the
Monumental City has been 20 unsatisfactory an
incident for the traitors there and elsewhere.
1t was the expression of a public feeling which
the Disunionists have strenuously declared did
not exist in Baltimore; and this occurrence may
well give these latter some new ideas concerning
the estimation in which they are held even in
localities whose loyalty has been considered
doubtful. Whatever measure of condemnation
may be given to the actors in this affair, it is
to be borne in mind that the riot of the 10Th of
April was widely different, unproyoGed, tnd
murderOus, instigated By the government Of the
city. Those who are disposed to kindle with
virtuons warmth at what they consider lawless
proceedings, but who had no word Of condem-
nation to bestow on the bloody outrage in the
Spring, may well hold their peace and learn

NORTH SAN JUAN, NEVADA co, SATURDAY, NAY T. 1861

FUsIoN.-The leaders of the former Breck-
inridge party are making desperate efforts at
fusion. Some of the secession-sympathis-
ing State officers have, by spiritual vision,
seen the handwriting on the wall, and are
anxious to take refuge somewhere, from an
impending doom. Their ideas of honor and
"high-toned" gentleman!y bearing, do not
seem at all to conflict with the propriety of
drawing salaries, even though they profess
no admiration in common for the laws and
Constitution which they are SWORN to uphold,
nor the people by whom they are surrounded.
If the real Democracy, by whatever quail
flying adjective they may be known, or any
other party protesting respectability, can be
gulled by these office-seeking sharks, they
have far less brains than we gave them
credit for.
