NO INTERFERENCE.

There need be no further fear OF for
eign Intervention with the domestic
troubles OF this country. Recent 'ntelll'
gence from both England and France
shows that the mission Of the Confeder-
ates, for the purpose Of obtaining recog-
milton, has exploded. All doubts and
fears upon the foreign Intervention
question may be hushed to rest, and
henceforth both loyalist and rebel may
consider the question OF secession as
one to be settled entirely at home-on
our own soil.
Tho late victories will the more firm
" convince foreign powers that the
Government Of the United States is
perfectly able TO put down this rebel
lion, and to maintain its own position
and integrity without any intermeddling
or Intervention from any source. 1t is
now apparent that much of the STUFF
that has been sent to this country about
foreign interference has had TO founda-
ton whatever in truth, but was manu-
featured out Of rebel cloth, to keep up
the rebel pluck. That game has failed.
In his late message, JEFF. Davis aban-
dons the hope Of obtaining succor from
abroad. and more than jutimates that
the battle must be fought at home-that
the aspiring ones Of the South must
rely entirely upon their own resources.
We may look for a speedy verdict in this
great sectional fight.

TuRHING THE TABLES on A REBEL
\ friend who has been down in Missouri
relates the following good one, which
we think will do to travel:

Missouri, and the man to whom is due

which convicted the bridge-hurncrs,
while at Shelbyville a short time since,
stepped into q grocery to take drink

to drink, he did 90. There were a
goodly number hanging about, anxiously
waiting to be invited, and when all were
arranged about the counter, a huge,
double listed fellow placed one hand
upon we'll filled glass of "rcd- eve" and
the other under his coat-tail, where he
carried his revolver and gave for Straghn
to drink the following toast:
+" Here's to jeff. Davis and the South

square OF hell by daylight, with his ears

than thought he drew, cooked and pre.
sented his pistol at the rebels head and
compelled him to drink to it.

gests that what has been spoken of as a
black flag at Fort Dorelson may have
been really meant for white flag. He

pose, but that, as they had not had a

garment, meant to be white, was natu.

Journal. ''''
Daily Democrat and news. [volume] (Davenport, Iowa) 1859-1864, 1862-03-04

ANY person who took the pains to
wade through the brilliant editorial in
the Gazette of yesterday, failed not to
discover that it is opposed to Gen. Hal
leck's recent order, which enjoins upon
troops the propriety of attending only to
the orrand on which they were sent.
1t must also be apparent that the recent
orders and proclamations Of Generals
Grant, Bnrnsidcs and Goldsboro, are a
stencil in the nostrils Of the Alligator.
But the treatment Of this subject is gin
gerly, to say the least. Our neighbor
knows that the orders alluded to come
directly from the hands OF the Admins
traiion at Warrington that, in fact, the
Cabinet issued them before they were
promulged by either Haileck or Burn
sides. Now, if the Gazette don't like
the spirit Of these orders, why don't il
have the manliness 70 get right up in
meeting" and denounce them, and de-
nounce the power that issued them
give lis reasons for SO doing and talk
straight to the mark like real live flesh
and blood man.
But that would be stepping aside from
its usual policy. To be frank, outspok
en- and honest, is no part Of its poltica
creed Its only idea is the slavery ques
ton, and in comparison with which
neither the Union or the Constitution
have any real weight. Such minds
claim that nothing is gained by this wal
unless slavery is crushed out; that the
vindication of the ability OF the Gov
ernment to protect itself against rebel
lion is nothing-that there is no virtue
in this sectional strife except so far as il
enables negroes to become free. That
is the true Abolition sentiment. Its
real difference from open rebellion
against the laws is trifing. AS matter;
now stand we can afford to laugh at the
discontinue Of the twin brothers-Se
cessiouists and Abolitionists. The Ad.
miuistlation and four-iiiths OF the people
are Tor the Union, regardless Of shaver,
or the howings Of Aboliti nism.

Impossaat Correction By Earl Derby.
Earl Derby's correction OF the report
of bis speech in the House of Lords, ..
the opening Of Parliament (given in the
London Tnses) IN which 10 Wa made
to advocate An early recognition OF the
rebel States by England, when he ex.
pressed the conviction that her policy
dictated the very opposite course. will be
read with great interest, - announcing
complete chsnge of feeling on the part
of the great aristocratic leader towards
the Southern bogus confederacy. The
correction was made on the 18th inst,
when the Earl said:
"The noble Earl said he was not
much in the habit of occupying the time
of their Lordships with matters personal
to himself, or with making observations
in reference to the reports Of his speech
es or those Of other noble Lords in that
House. The fact was, be very seldom
read the reports either of his own
speeches or OF other speeches which he
heard 10 the House; but he happened to
look to the report in the Times newsPa-
per CT what he addressed to their Lord
ships yesterday, and there was one point
10 it TO which he could not help advert
ing. He would not notice the other
inaccuracies in the report, which he
believed was not so accurate as reports
in that Journal generally we're, and he
only alluded to the one he had men.
toned because it attributed to him ex-
actly the opposite of what he uttered.
In reference to the recognition OF the
Southern Confederacy, the Times re.
ported him to say that the time had
nearly arrived when her Majesty's gov
eminent ought to be called upon to recog
nize the successful revolt of the confed
crate States. Now, what he did say
was, that in his judgment the time had
not arrived when her Msjesty's govern
ment was called upon to recognize the
independence of the Southern States
and he added that although the practice
of her Majcsty's government was t
recognize any de facto government tina
had succeeded in establishing itself, h
did not think the resistance of the South
ern States had been SO complete and Sc
successful as to justify them in recogniz
ing the independence CT State which
had not yet shown the power Of secur
ing and maintaining its own indepen
dence."
The omission Of single word mad
all the difference in thc world. Tb
character Of the London Times for yer
aclty will not be above suspicion in thi
country from this forward.

Tue life of Reuben Davis, of Ken

silver half dollar in his waistcoat pocket.
He had borrowed that amount Of a
companion, some days before, and offered
to return it before going upon the field !;
but his companion told him to keep the
coin, as he might stand in need of it be-
fore night. He had need of it in his
