If the government fails to sustain its

yield such fruits.
But if the Huntsville affair sorp1v
touched our pride and aroused our in
dignation, what terms are sufficient TO
charac terize the utter humiliation and
disgust felt in reading The details of the
recent capture of Holly Springs. AS a
base of supplies for an army, the place
had an adequate garrison, and should
have been guarded with more than usual
care and circumspection. Instead,
while half million dollars worth of
property lay exposed-property inyal-
liable TO the army of Gen. GRASr-the
commanding officer placed his pickets so
carelessly as TO allow a large body Of
cavalry to penetrate between them,
surprise the sleeping soldiers, capture
the whole command, and destroy the
torres. Two thousand men and hall a
million dollars worth of property have
thus been given over to the enemy, and

army broken up, and all through gross
carelessness or imbecility.
How long will the government allow
this thing TO SO on unrebuked? This
same treachery or imbeciity gave up
Harper's Ferry, its wealth of stores, and
10000 defenders. 1t lost us Huntsville
and 1000 men. And now it has culmn.
ated in this Infamous Holly Springs
affair. Whether we shall have more oil
it depends upon the promptness with
which the government deals with the
imbecility which permits it. 1t will con
tinue, probably, until the government,
shoots one Of these overconfdent or care
less commanders. The soldier who
sleeps upon the sentinel's post is not as
deserving OF death as the commander
who sleeps upon his. Let the govern
ment teach these fellows, to whom i
gives shoulder straps and big pay, the
responsibility of their commissions.

More of the Holly Springs Affair.

re- Later reports of the Holly Springs
affair, say that on Friday, all but 800 Of
the troops at that place were sent to
Jackson, on account of the latter place
being menaced by rebels. That night
the attack was made upon Holly Springs,
resulting in killing and wounding 900
unionisis, and capturing $50. The rest
escaped. This makes the affair compar-
atively insignificant, except in the
amount of property destroyed. The
troops captured belonged principally 10
Illinois regiments.

The Cabinet Difficulty.

The Cabinet difficulty seems to be
settled. Secretaries SEWARD and CHASE
resigned, but their designations were not
accepted by the President, who seems
indisposed TO remodel his Cabinet. Why
Secretary CHASE resigned, is not known.
The country has not called upon him to
do so, and we know of no reason
for the step unless it may have been to
induce the resignation of the whole Cab
met, that re organization might be easier

Increase of subscription.

re- The present great advance in the
price of paper has left publishers no al
Tentative but to curtail the dimensions Of
their journals, or to increase their sub
scription prices. The latter course is
being taken by all the city and nearly
all the country papers East and West.
Were the present rise in paper likely to
prove temporary, we should decline to
follow the example, but from ciligent
inquiry among publishers and paper
dealers, we are satisfied that the present
high prices may be considered perma
nent, and that we may even look for a
still greater advance. We therefore see
no alternative but to follow the general
course of our contemporaries, and raise
our subscription price. Our friends
will therefore please take notice that on
and after the 1st Of January next, the
terms of the Guardian will be,

Eg There is no evidence that the
President intends to back down from his
proclamation of September ED. The
LIST of January 1868, is doubtless destin-
ed to live in history as the day upon
which the grandest edict of freedom that
the world has ever listened to was pro-
mulgated-as the day upon which the
true glory of this contest first blazed
forth-as the day upon which the death :
knell of American Slavery first rang out.
From it will date a new and grander
epoch for our country and for humanity
and freedom than any that has gone be-
fore. The world waits and listens. Let
us hope that ABRAHAM LINCOLN will
prove equal to the occasion.
