There are set Of newspaper writer's ip this
country whose only argument against cause
CT movement in which they do not happen to
believe is, "raiic ii,m!' Having moutbed
these words, " radical sm, "dbo itionism," &c,
they retire from the contest, confidently as
suniug that they have vanquished their oppo-
nents, the radicals in argument, and that there
is no more that can be said.
To stigmatizs, or attempt 10 stigmRtize, q
cause as radical, does not pro.e 1t wrong. 1t
may be good cause for all that, and demand
the cordial support Of every patriot and good
man, Many people, however, think that II they
can declsim against any movement, though II
be ever so humane, aud though 1t be cslcu-
lated to elevate the masses, or q particular
race, to position and to happiness, as radical.
lem, they have done noble work, aud shown
their sound conservatism.
If they would ponder moment, they would
observe that it ia the best compliment they
can pay man TO call him radical and those
also who are called radicals need ieel no alarm.
It is need of honor which good man and a
reiormer may covet.
The old prophets were radicals, and why
bsclusa they stirred up the people by exposing
their vices, and demanded the relief OF the op.
pressed, aud the deliverancs OF the captive
They went to the root Of evils, aud exf osed
them TO public view, and that was radicalism
Jesus and bis apostles were radicals, and
worked suf red, and died, as radicals. Lu-
| ther, and the .efoEmers Of the sixteenth centu
| ry were radicals,
Thomas jeff .rson AMI the men Of the Rsvoln
ton were radicals, and were denounced II,
such by the nserVatives If their times. Blu
tho conservatives Of these days, who deny thei
principles, and ,raiuce aud abuse the men wht
believe 10 their views, and are endeavOring tt
carry them out, ara garuishiog their sepul-
| chres.
Let no one lear to be called radical, Tbt
world makes progress through, and only
through the cii,rts Of radical men.

President Liacoln's emancipation prOclama-
ton has created much excitement at the rebel
capital. II Ia intemperately denounced w con
,rary to the usages of civilized warfare and an
outrage on private property. So far as we
can Judge by extracts from Richmond papers
and the frat days debate on the subject 10
Congress, the rebels contemplate the raising oi
the old deaths head aud cross bones Dag Of
Captain Kidd, and the indiscriminate sangh-
ter OF men. women and children as q meas
urss Of retaliation. They are just az mad ss

BY such severe retaliatory measures as In the
judgement Of the President may be best calcu
lated to secure its withdrawal Or arrest its ex

always been In favor Of the black Aag. Mr.
Ysucey wanted the matter to go 10 speca
committee, but 1t was finally sent to the Judi
ciary Committee. There was y report at For

that black flag bill had passed the rebel Con

MISTAKES OF ouRnEspDNDEsrs.

Newspaper correeponuents, when Wrltipg
about military ad.irs, are sadly apt to be mis-
taken. AZ al instance Of THE we repubsbed,
on Saturday, fron, the New York Erening Post,
a letter dated Norfolk, Va, Sept. 26, lsG2,"
which draws an alarming picture Of vast prep
aIations being made by the rebels for On attack
on Norfolk, both by land and water, which is
to take place precisely ou October 18th"
The new Merlin c" is to come down from
Richmond, sink the entire Union hset, sail up
the James river, aud anchor of Norfolk. SIM
ultansously, an enormous land force is to march
upon Norfolk from the interior" aud between
this upper and neither mill stone, Gen. Egbsrt
L. viele and oils small command are to be an.
nihilated. This statement Is srsvely put forth
as having been discovered by General Viele
through Intercepted letters" Where the
enormous land force lie to come from. the
correspondent does not specify nor does be
explain on what principles this costly and ex-
hausting demonstration is to be made against
an indecislvs point while the main rebel army
under Gen, Lee, is hard pressed in the vicinity
Of Martinsburg all reliable accounts agreeing
that the rebel government is taxing its power
Of copscriptiop to the uttermost, to send everJ

Again, the correspondent states that Gen

rwelve different regiments from time to tim,
to Genera! Mcclellan from biz command, snt
there are only thiee Of the officers Of thes'
regiments that have not been either killed o.

by giviog the numbers and States Of thes
dreadfuly used up regiments? for IL is difficul
to believe that OF twelve colouels. twelve lieu
tenant colonies, twelve msjors, one hundre,
and twenty captains and two hundred an,
forty lieutenan;s, all but three " have beel
"either killed or wounded" Not .content
even, with this dreadful bill of mortality aut
deficement, the correspondent adds that "th,
