"THE men," says the Cincinnati Commercial,
"who are lying daily and hourly about the design
and purpose and prcspects of the wal, are actually
threatening civil war north of the Ohio" And
who are these men, pray, but those who
say that the design and purpose of the war is to
give freedom to the negro slaves Of the South
And who lie about the prospects of the war save
GREELEY and his sympAthizers, who say nothing
has yet been gained by the war; that we are
worse off to day than when the rebellion broke
out, and that the loyal men et the country can
not put it down without the help of the negro
slaves of the Southf These are the men who are
doing their best by their misrepresentation and
lies to break up the Union aud fOment civil war
in the North.

ADVICE to ,he Pulpl,.


The New York Tins, at the close Of long
article on the spirit Of revenge manifested by
the Abolition DlsuuiOnists at this time, has a
paragraph Of admonitiOn and advice to our "re-
ligious Teachers" which we copy below. We
hope It may have good effect, but we confess
we are not ssnguine on this point The pulpit
has not proved itself above the influence of the
most fanAiical, but has partakep Of that spirit
of revenge to which the Times refers in very
large degree. Abolition lectures have occupied
many ministers, and entirely supplanted 10 their
pulpits genuine Gospel sermons. May the lee
ture Of the Times do good. Here It is:
But there are other aspects to this question,
which It is the duty Of our religious teachers
now TO present, and yet which, we fear, are not
sufficiently presented. II Christianity has any
reality, and is not myth 70 the Northern peo-
Pile, It is time that its power were felt In this
hour of our wrath and distress. Revenge does
not belong to nations any more than TO individ-
uals. Vindictiveness is not merely mark of
unwise estatesmsnship, but 1t ls something against
which We utter daily prayers. If our holy faith
has still power in the land, 1t will control those
most natural, but bitter cries Of q wronged ma
ton for reveugeful punishment and evil on its
enemies. Justice, legal punishment we must
have, but not lAwless revenge.

.Exp,anatIon-ApSiogy

The telegraph makes editors not unfTequently
publish matter that they would discard entirely
IL It came to them in the usual way, through
their exchanges, and sometimes matter is in
serted that comes by telegraph which is moru-
fyIpR in the extreme to the proprietorS OF the
press. One Of this character appears In the
Statesman of yesterday morning, being a New
York dispatch embodying the substance oi
special dispatch from Columbus to the New YORK
Tribune The dispatch has reference to the al
legged arrest Of Rev. Dr.. BRooKs, OF st. Louis
and Rev. DR.. HoIT, Of Louisville, who, IL is said,
were arrested at "the house Of the notorious reb-
el, Judge CLARK, of Ohio" The special then
had some allusion to Mr.. VALLAHDiGHAA. This
dispatch came on Monday afternoon, and In tue
evening we requested the foreman to omit IL
entirely; but on learning from him that IL was
In type among the other afternoon dispatches
and observing that some allusion was made TO
the arrest in the Cincinnati papers, We directed
that all of it except the fact of the arrest be
omitted. Understanding Us to allude TO the
portion in reference 70 Mr.. VAILAHDrOHAn, that
was omitted, but unfortunately that referring 70
Judge CLARK was preserved, and appeared IN
the Statesmen Of yesterday morning, and thus
uninteutiOnAlly the Statesman is made to repeat
the slander Of some anonymous scribbler in 90
lumbus, who is concealed and dare not chow
himself, against distinguished citizen Of Ohio,
who, we are quite sure, has more love Of cOun'
try and true loyalty in bis heart, than the whole
pack Of Abolitionists combined. No man in
Ohio stauds higher than Judge CLARK in the
community in which he resides; and indeed
wherever known he is esteemed for his ability
and worth, and his fidelity to the Constitution
and the Union.

Union, they ave determined to give him no
peace, bat to continue the pressure Of which
he 60 bitterly complained in his appeal to the
Reprose entat ives from the Border States.
But the browning sin Of the President In the
eyes Of the Tribune and It's sympashizers is the
late Executive or Military Order authorizing
the employment Of slaves of rebels as laborers
in our armies. The Tribune says Of 1t:
That order does not conform in essence nor
10 scope TO the act OF Congress which the Pfesi-
dent has signed. II talks OF employing per
sons Of African descent" as laberers, but gives
such "persons" no reason for accepting such
emp yment-.muc less seeking it II not "a
declaration OF the policy Of the Government,
It is a strong indication, and very sad one. II
not intended as declaration Of the Presidents
new policy, It should have been preceded, or, at
least, accompanied, by such declaration. Ii
none such Is to appear, may Godin His infinite
mercy save the Republic! There is no other
hope remaining.
"There is no other hope remaining" Unless
the President shall conform in bis whole policy
to the Abolition programme. and abolish States
by abolishing their institutions, abolish the
Constitution and Dissolve the Union, the howl
is raised-"May God in his infinite mercy save
the Republic! There 10 no other hope remain
ing" 'n.
Here is plainly to be seen that scorpion nest Of
traitors that under pretense Of loyalty are sting
Ing the Republic to death.

this phase Of the contest, aud in it's Issue OF 'he
95,h of July, has an elaborate editorial on the
subject Among the mildest OF the remedies
proposed BY the Abolition -Dsunionisss are
thus stated by the Times: "a universal con-
fisca.ion Of real estates, SO that loyal settlers
may occupy the deserted properties, the vast
ing of rebel fields and hsrvests, the armed oc
cupation Of their houses, and the appropriation
Of all properly" In the recent Union demon
stra,ion 10 the city OF New York the Times
says tone Of our most benevolent and excel
lent citizsns, calmly advised sending all the
rebel inhabitants further South, and occupying
their houses by our sodiers." This PROPOSE
tIon was applauded to the echo, aud the Times
in descanling upon II, among other things says;
The time mas come Wnen bOunu ntatoemen
ship ard practical Christianity should indicate
come distinctions and limitations in this cry
for punishment and revenge. IL might as weh
be understood now as hereafter, that there are
some thine which she American people can do,
and sJme which il c,nnot. Whatever be our
wrones received from the Southland their
number ie in6nite--We cannot exterminate or
make houseess and l4ndess the whole five or
elk million whites implicated in ;hs rebellion.
The thing Ia simply impossible. II we begin
an indiscriminate, universal policy OF destroy
lug rebel property, oonfscatng it, and "sending
women and children South" and the like, We
merely excite every man, woman and child to q
pitch Of fury which would lead them to take to
the mountains and swemps rather than submit,
and which would call ont a storm of wrath to
which the rage OF Europe, under Napoleon's
exactionp, was feeble. We must remember,
ourselves, how many years 1t needed before the
ashes over our burnt homesteads, In the war Of
1919, cooled again. Not all the Bfidih vic
tories or insults ever sowed such dragon teeth
of hatred as did their destruction Of the public
buildings of Washington and other towns. To
let an army plunder buildings, or even occupy

FiII the Ola Regiments.

The Chicago Times ssys:
Let the Old regiments be first filled. Out OF
the six hundred thousand men we have raised,
we doubt II more than three hundred and eighty
thousand are left. Battle, disease, and furl0ugs
granted on account of sickness 10 thousands who
are able to return, but do not, have thinned our
ranks Woiully. There are numberlees skeleton
