Honest Opinions.

The first of the series OF extracts given be-
low, is one from Governor Brad(ord's speech,
and we think might, with complete fitness,
be commended to the serious consideration
of at least one hundred of the highly re-
specialize gentlemen of Cum berland, assuredly
in the same category:
"The rebel who openly avows himself, and
places himself in the fight, to some extent,
for his courage, commands your admiration;
but tho providing, skulking, contrivirg, con-
spring traitor-the moral guerilla of this
warts the most despicable of all the trail
tors--wthout the courage to fight for his
own country or any other. | would sooner
have these men armed and placed in front
of us, than have them placed side by side
with us"
The following extracts are quoted from
the Danville Reuiec, and purport to be from
the pen of that estimable and noble divine
Dr. Robert j. Breckenridge uncle of the
traitorous Vice. President and expelled Sen
ator, John G. Breckinridge-to whom he re.
fers in such terse and terrible manner

During that memorable extra session o.
Congress, Senator Breckenridge took such a
course as seemed to show that his previou.

intended to act--which is, to a certain extent
confirmed by the course he had previously
marked out for his party in Kentucky. Hi.

CONFERENCE OF THE REBEL GENERALS

tic sources, among other interesting items as
to the proceedings of the rebels:
eve have some iuklins Of the subject
discussed at the conferences of all the prin-
cipal military leaders, held in Richmond on
the 4th and 9th inst They came to the
conclusion that they must not lose more
territory. The defensive policy was strongly
attacked. and beth Lee aud Brauregard adj
yiscd the invasion of the North at three
points, namely from Cumberland and Will
Transport into Pennsylvania, from Louis
vile and Cincinnati into Indiana and Ohio.
and from Paducah aud Cairo into Illinois.
They agreed upon the immediate ohstruc-
ton of the James river, SO as to make 1t I'M
possible for Mcclellan to Use 1t as means
of communication with the government, aud
for the transportation OF reinforcements and
army supplies the occupation OF Williams
burg, Yorktown, and the entire peninsula
the recovery of the whole territory Of Nir,

and the expulsion Of the Federal troops
from Tennessee and Kentucky. When these
objects have been accomplished, then it wa.

WHAT A Cow DID FOR THE WAR.-Tho
Boston Traveller says:-A few days since,
subscriptions were set on foot in Orleans
county. A farmer Of moderate means con-
tributed 500 and COW. Every one con-
coded that this was liberal but it occurred
to friend that the cow might be turned to
excellent account account. Lots were to be
cast for her, and 2O5 tickets, at 81 each,
were distributed and paid for. This, prac-
tically, brought up tho farmers subscription
to 1855. But the COW was destined to do
better. The winner put her up at auction
and $50 more were added to the fund
making the aggregate $2s5. But it wa
deemed pity that a COW so thoroughly pa
triotic should be sold so cheap, and the re.
suit was that $l5 was added to the pur,
chase money-making the cows aggregate
contribution to the fund $3.50, besides the
$50 from her original owner!

THE SICK AND WOUNDED SOLDIERS
Preserved FtgetaJles.-1his is the season
whea private families are in the habit OF
putting up in tin cans or otherwise preserved
vegetables, and particularly tomatoes, for
fall and winter use. Let us remind such OF
the claims of the sick and wounded soldiers,
and to suggest the plan shat they should
double, treble, or quadruplc their usual
quantity, in order that they may thus con-
tribute to the comfort and recovery of the
sick and wounded. Perhaps there is 10
one thing that is more incidentally useful
and beneficial to invalids than ripe toma-
toes. and the demand for them in tin cans
has been so great that the supply has been
exhausted for several months. No more nc =
ceptable or useful service can be performed
than by families adopting the plan OF put
ting up large supply beyond what they
NAV require for their own use. II this plan
is generally followed, there will be an amp'e
supply for our gallant and suffering soldiers
aud in no way could so small an outlay be
so advantageously applied.
We would further suggest that those who
follow the preservation of vegetables IS a
regular trade and a business should largely
increase their usual quantity, AS the govern
ment will undoubtedly come into the mar
ket for very large supply; and we would
indeed suggest that the Medical Depart
ment should at once be authorized to issue
proposals for the probable required supply
of such articles. - Nat. Intel
