WAR AND ITS CHANGES W ar Is dram atic in the rapidity of it's changes. Among other institutions newspapers are not ex- empt from the common fate. Among our contemporaries we notice the discontinuance
 of some and change of editors in others. | The Eldorado Bulletin office has been closed and its gallant Editor, Burton, departed
 with the regiment for Virginia, as a
 private in the Union county company. We regret very much to lose him from the corps editorial.
 Wyatt C. Thomas, esq, of the Washing ton Telegraph has also laid down the pen for the sword-having received a staff appointment from Col. Pagan. He was an accomplished editor His place will be supplied by John R. Eakin, who is an elegant writer and one of the cleverest gentlemen in the state. May success at tend him! From his salutatory we make the following extract:
 Ofthe future political complexion of the Tele qraph 1t is impossible to speak. The past is all behind us and may well enough be forgotten. All old issues-all old partizan cries-all old political preiudices have been swept away in one indlstin- | puisbable heap. There let them lie. We will not 90 poking amongst the ruins of old platforms debris of old political edtccs or the cinders of | old party passions, for material with which to influence our readers or inhame their hearts. We do not put new wine into old bottles shall the | T nd ayUancips Of be erlp pOW bursting upon us, be contained or limited by old narty bounds or channels of thought We know | only that we will be honest in the advocacy of | each and everything which may deem best for the community and State, and hope to be able to make that advocacy in that lofty spirit of modest independence. without which the true liberty of the press sinks into contemplate sub seryiency, or grows into rank and intolerable ar rogance.
 Our readers will observe that before ourp rprede- cessor threw away the pen, which he had so grace fully yielded for so long time, he up to our mast head the flag the Souht There let it wave. We belonged to that class of Union men whose whole soul has been in the work of reconstructon who longed ardently for light from the North out of t'.e darkness which overhung that infatuated portion of our countrywide waited and hoped
 They feel now that ther forebarance has been mis construed and are conscious that they have been made the tools of treacherous administration, using them only to ulVlue the oOutn, whilst IL whispered 10 them hope for their darling object of peace and harmony. We have been deceived. With a knowledge of that came settled dstrust, mingled with that loathsome repugnance with which we always regard those who have tempered with the holies feelings of our nature. The breach is irreparabe. We shall oppose hereafter all effort to restore the Union It is no longer desra- ble. We must be as two people forever.
 The Washington Courier has also changed editors. Mir. c. B. Owsley is in the Hempstead RiAemen, which forms the first company of the brigade ordered to rendezvous on the western frontier. J w. Thomas, esq, takes his place and will fully sustain the reputation of the paper Other editors in the State are preparing to go into the service of the country on the tented field. showing themselves not less ready to battle for rights than to incite others to defend them.
