have pledged themselves to do all in their
power to throttle it, How marked the
contrast between their action and that of
others in the party to which they belong,
Of the Fallandigham stripe, who are NOV
ing heaven and earth almost to infuse new
life into the cid democratic party as it was
with slavery for its corner stone and COM
promise for its watchword.
A SURE SIGN--At union meeting in
Kentucky few days ago. Col. Metcalf
made a speech in which be told how every
traitor in the land may be known. Said
he:
g You may know every traitor as plain
ly as you can your hogs, by the ear marks -
They have pass word, by which you can
know them as well in the night as in the day
time. That word is A6oIitionist, that is the
sum total of their arguments
That is as true as preaching. We have
men Of the very same stamp here. You can
hear them bowling about the Abolitionists
at all hours of the day. Ask them any
thing about the war and what they think
{ it, and they at once begin sneering about
the id Abolitionists, That seems
to be the only idea they have got. They
hate the Abolitionists, as they call the Re
publicans, more than they love their coun-
try, and at heart they are just as false as
the most rabid "secesh" in South Carroll
ma.
NEWs.-The latest news we have up to
the hour of going to press is substantially
this
The Monitor, Galena and Naugatuck
are within shelling distance of Richmond
and are expected to commence operations
soon. The rebels are reported to be in
great CONSERVATION and preparing to fee
There has been great naval engage
ment on the Mississippi in which the Gin
einuati was sunk The rebels lost several
gunboats,
Another skirmish occurred near Corinth
on the3 It'll
There was a Obstructive confagration
on Long Island on the 18th. The
loss Of property was between three and
four hundred thousand dollars.
A great battle is anticipated at Corinth
in few days, It is thought that it can
not be much longer delayed.
MATTERS IN Things begin to
look better in Kansas than they did short
time ago. The doughface gen. S have been
disposed of and are no longer to manage
affairs there as they have done. General
Sturgis has been ordered to Washington,
and Gen. Denver has been sent to New
Mexico. Gen, Mitchell has also been sent
cut of the state, though where we do not
know. The Department of Kansas has
been separated from the Department of
the Mississippi, and reconstructed with the
same boundaries as when Gen. Hunter was
IN command. 1t is not yet decided to what
general to assign it. Gen. Blunt is tenn
porarily in charge.
aeg@ From every quarter as the rebels
fall back they destroy every thing in their
track, private as well as public property,
and the south to-day presents vandalism
never before witnessed Rail road and
other bridges ave been destroyed, without
number and without any seeming purpose
or cause. When the rebellion is crushed
these improvements will again be needed,
and impoverished as tho people of the
sonth will be, it will require years of sue,
cessful trade to fully restore the country
to the same condition it was before the
rebellion.
