Politics and the War.

The Democrats have all along clamor-
ed against politics having any thing to dc
with this war, and now that their hopes
Of success in the next Presidential cam
paign under leader whom the war should
make, are thwarted, they cIamor yocfer-
ously. While the Republicans are IN
power they q, agntlv are opposed to poll
tics controlling the war policy, but they
are not opposed to the war being used for
a restoration Of the rotten dynasty of De-
mocracy. Like the thief upon the cross
they only advocate mercy when they are
made TO suffer, and if ever restored to
power again We may be sure they will
hold the political reins with tighter and
more relentless grasp than before. Mer-
cy or favor would be no part Of their
thought or policy, but perfect tyranny
of authority would be enforced Their
hypocritical cant would soon be changed
to orders and threats, and the powers of
government would be freely used for the
continuation of party rule and domination
The Administration will do well to
disregard the clamorings of this lua@ry
pack. and the people will hardly trust for
settlement Of our national difficulties
the party which was SO instrumental in
producing them.

change is gratifying to all parties.
The enemy in Arkansas is reported to

under Holmes; the former near Ozark
the latter near Little Rock. There are,
however, not to exceed 100 men in Lit

The Northwestern part Of Arkansas,
whence we drove the rebels, is yet quiet
and undisturbed, except from small bands
of yuertilas; 1t is not likely the rebels
will again try to occupy that portion Of
the State. Gen. Blunt, with the first d.
vision of his army, occupied North wes-
tern Kansas and portion of the Indian
Territory. He is working salt mines
there which are in excelant order, and
yielding an abundant supply.
In this division are or 4 Regiments
of loyal Indians who have been driven
from their homes. They make good SOL
diers, are willing and obedient, long en-
during and patient. They goat all times
and to all places unquestioned, and with
the utmost alacrity; have confidence in
their cause; are brave, generally good
narksmen, and peculiarly adapted to
diminishing and woods fighting. Gen.
Blunt reports the desertion of many dis
loyal Indians aud says that many are
coming over to Join his forces.

you can build up with honor restored
and united Republic by humbling your
self to the South, can only express my
surprise at the dream which possesses
you. You may separate, or you may
