Gen. Buell. has been superseded by Gen
Rose Grams. Had this been done som,
months ago, or even some weeks. how
different would have been the campaign
in Tennessee and Kentucky.
Gen. Rosecrans has done more hard
fighting aud earned more glory for the
benefit of other Generals than any other
officer in the service. He is West
Pointer, Democrat, and Catholic, and
yet wiibal fighting General, patriot,
and gentleman He has done more
hard fighting probably than any General
save Hooker since the war commenced,
aud he has been always successful His
policy has been to fight the enemy and
whip them, to pursue and destroy them,
and he has done what he could to carry
out his policy. We are glad that he has
now an independent command and
chance to test his policy and his capacity.
Thank Heaven that fighting Generals
are beginning to be appreciated once more.

From the Atlanta Intelligencer
Resolutions of the Flint River
Baptist Association.

In looking over the Christian Index,
we notice the proceedings of the Flint
River Baptist Association, and among
the resolutions adopted, we were forci.
bly, struck with the appropriateness of,
anI patriotism displayed in the follow
ing
First, That every development of
the war confirms us moro and more in
our beiet Of the wisdom of the seces

States; and we will do all in our pow.
er in furnishing men and means to
bring this war to u successful termina.
ton.
Secondly, That we have unabatcd
confidence in the wisdom Of our Presi.
dent and Vice. President, and in the
skill of our Generals, to manage the
great interests of our country.
Thirdly, That we recommend that
on every Monday night in each week,
the members Of the several churches
comprising this body, either meet at
their houses Of worship, or around the
family altar, or in secret, for special
prayer for our suffering country, and
for the safety and protection Of our
dear soldiers; and also that prayer be
made without ceasing for these objects.
These resolutions evince picty, patri
otism, and deter mination. They come
from an influential religious dcnomina.
ton Of Christians in our State and in
the South, breathing a spirit of conf.
dence in the righteousness of our cause,
and Of independence upon Him for the
success OF our arms, VINO giveth the
victory even over death. AS the "ln.

prayers of Christians, guided by the
wisdom and patriotism OF our Govern.

A Salute for Lincoln's Admins
tratiOn,

The New York Independent, which
is charged by its cotemporaries with
belonging to the league for the dis.
placement Of Lincoln, has the follow.
ing complimentary notice of the Goril.
la.
We have no doubt whatever that
Mr.. Lincoln means well, and tasks
himself to do we'll for tho country.
But he is an overmatched man. lie
cannot carry the Government in this
great exise.ney.
But there is country as we'll as q
President. There is a cause as we'll as
an Administration. Every prudent
man foresees the utter exhaustion of
the country if we have one more such
year as the last. Yet we have tho
same Cabinet, the same floating expe-
dents, the same stationary Generals.
1t is notorious that the Generals who
control the military affairs of the ar
my are pro slavery in their beliefs and
sympathies. One drop of poison is a
match for the health OF a whole bod y
full of good blood!
The South is jubilant. tits the North
that desponds, They have leaders who
know how to control dificultios--to
cocrce unity among Heterogeneous ma
terials. There is will in the chair at
Richmond. There is will in the sad.
die beyond the Potomac. Oh, that
slavery was as poorly served as liber-
ty is!
Richmond determines, Washington
reasons. Richmond is infexible, Wash
ington vacillates. Richmond knows
what it wants to do, Washington wish
es that it knew. Richmond loves
slavery and ha.es liberty, Washington
is somewhat partial to liberty and rath
cr dislikes slavery. Rebellion is wise
and sinful. Government is foolish.

Speculation and Extortion,

Though much has been said upon
this subject by the newspaper press, it
is still u matter that cannot too often
arrest tho attention of the patriotic
citizen-,specially when speculation
and extortion is still rife in the land,
and growing more alarming every day.
Our soldiers in the field are suffering
for food and clothing; but the heartess,
soulless speculator and extortioner heed
not their sufferings. They, half clad
and hungry, are standing between him
and the vandal hordes of the North,
fighting for his (the speculator's) free.
dom, for his fresides, for his property,
while he is at homo speculating upon
their necessities and that of their wives
and little ones, by going through the
country and buying up all articles for
clothing, bacon, flour, and every thing
else necessary to sustain lite, for which
he sells at famine prices, or not at all
He who is thus acting is as great a foo
to the country, is as much opposed to
the sacred cause for which we are bat

Lincoln Government, and, as we have
before remarked, if we are ever whip.
ped in the present struggle for inde.
pendence, for liberty, we will owe it all

infest the bleeding Confederacy from
one end to the other, Some step, if
possible, should be Immediately taken
by tho government to stop speculation.
Those engaged in the unholy occupa-
ton ought either to be forced into the
army, or driven from the country
Cannot our own Legislature, which
soon convencs, and the Legislatures of
the different States, devise some means
by which this great and growing evil
may be cured-may be stopped? The
disease is a desperate one, is doing u
great amount of mischief, and let a
desperate remedy be applied. Some
thing must be done and that speedily.
orthe cause, dear to every patriot heart,

American war cannot we'll be over.
estimated.
Their operatives are now idle and
suffering in vast numbers for want of
cotton. But the loss of production and
the suffering Of the people, and the
high price of what cotton they can pro.
cure, and the loss Of the Southern mar
ket fortheir manufactures of all kinds,
are not the whole of the evil growing
out of the war that falls to their share.
Both republics are creating large
debt which will have to be paid in the
future. The means of doing this will
doubtless be derived mainly, if not en-
tirely, from duties on imports.
So far at least, as the North is con-
cerned, the Morrill, Tariff is the living
evidence. As for ourselves, we fear we
shall have no choice IN tho matter.
Our imports will come chiefly from
England and France, and the burden
of high tariff will therefore be borne
chiefly by their commerce. England
and France will, in effect, have to re
sign our commerce or pay our debts
With this future evil in the certain
prospect, added to their present suffer.

A Dictator on a Small Scale.

We understand from a reliable source,
that one James f. Cummings, who as
sumes to have an agency from the Con-
fedetate States, has actually issued an
order to the people of Lincoln county,
Tennessee, interdicting the sale of pro.
duce except by his consent.
And what is stranger still, if it be
possible, is, that we understand some of
the good people of Lincoln county are
disposed to acknowledge this act of
despotsm. At least, we learn that
some of the people in Lincoln county
seem to be in doubts whether Cum.
mings may not have the power to in.
terdict trade in this way, and prohibit
the sale and transportation of produce.
Nothing has been so repeatedly and

of the & vernment as these attempts
to interfere with private rights--yet

equals this in semi. official mendacity
and impudence.
A dictator for every county beats
Lincoln himself. Our government will
be compelled to take up and severely

be officials.
Condemnation of the policy by the
officials of the government, which has
been done time and again, has no effect
on them, hence thoy will have to be
punished.
Certainly no free government can, or
will tolerate such outrages upon its
citizens, by persons protesting to be
the agents of the government.
