Between two Fires.

Lincoln, in his efforts to command
the>support of the conservative party
of the North, has aroused his original
friends, and they have commenced q
"fre upon his rear" The Chicago Tri.
bune, his old abolition organ, says:
"No President can carry on u govern.
ment successfully without a powerful
party, and no party wU confde in him
but the one which elected him, Mr.. Lin
coins administration must stand or TALL
with the party which elected him. IF
he breaks with the Republicans, or rad.
icals, as they are called, he will have
no party which will trust him, confdo
in him, and cordially sustain him."
This note Of warning comes from his
own household, and it is ominous.
They will only sustain him in radical
ism. They will DO satisfied with moth.
ing else. And tho Democrats will not
be allured into sustaining him as is at
tested by the strenuous efforts they are
making in all the States, to keep up
their organization. On this point, too,
Wilkes Spirit Of the Times, remarks at
length, holding the following language:
GAS strange a philosophy as it may
seem for q Democrat to hold, we regard
the fact of his being virtually isolated
from his party, as the greatest danger
of the State. Supported by a great
branch Of the American people, who,
whether their politics are right or
wrong, are still patriotic citizens, the
President remains an object of power
and respect; but Tylerized and aliena-
ted, he becomes merely Abraham Lin
coin, who cannot DO supported in his
errors, merely because he failed in his
good intentions. If he lose the sup.
port of his own party, he cannot count
on the respect of ours; and it is palpa.
BILE to the simplest reasoner, that a
man who is not backed by any organ.
%ization of the people cannot guide the
nation through these stormy times"
Lincoln may soon adopt the excla.
mation Of Webster, and exclaim as did
the great %expounder III his political

Interesting Sketch.

Quantrel, the famous Partisan leader
in Missouri, was at one time a leader
in the raids Of the Kansas Jayhawk-
ers, to which body he belonged for a
year The story runs thus:
Quantrcl, together with his b other
and a party Of companions, determin-
ed to visit California, and purchasing
an outfit, they started across the plains.
Hardly had they passed the limits of
Kansas, when they were set upon by
tensions and Montgomery's band of
J%ayhawkers, who took Quantrel pri~.
oner, murdered his brother, and robbed
the party of their equipments. Re-
venge became deep rooted in Quantrel,
and he determined to join the Jahawk-
els for the purpose of learning their
haunts and associations, and await the
proper time for a bloody retribution.
He became a favorite and was elected
a Lieutenant, holding a great share of
the Jayhawkers' confidence.
AT last, the time for active revenge
was at hand. He disclosed his history
and plan to the Confederate forces in
Missouri, stating that he knew every
haunt and hiding place of the Jayhawk-
ers, and was willing and ready to lead
them. He returned to the Jayhawk-
ers, induced a party of thirty to follow
him into an ambuscade, where they
were killed and taken prisoners by our
guerrillas. From that moment, he has
led our. men upon the track of this
band Of abolition desperadoes, until
they have been nearly wiped out, and
still Quantrel cries "revenge," and let's
loose the dogs Of war, creating terror
in the enemy ranks, and gaining re.
peated victories, such as are echoed ev-
en- to our ears a thousand miles away.

Tho Philadelphia american, com.
menting,on the moFemspts of "Stone-
walP Jackson, says:
Jackson is hardly ever successful in q
battle, and as a fgh ting General he
seems 10 be Of no great account but
in rapidity OF movement and strategy
cal ability he undoubtedly excels all the
other rebel Generals. He seems. in-s
deed, to be q mar ofgreat resoul cess
10 say that his success arises from his
sudden and rapid movements, and his.
knowledge Of the country is a great
mistake. 1t ishis great fertility in ex-
pedients, his infinitely varied traps and
devices to appear and disappear, to at
tack and retreat, to escape, to surprise,
to turn q flank. His retreats are mar.
wells of strategical skill, But once put
him on a battle. field, in o pitched battle
against a powerful and skilful enemy
and he is pretty sure to be beaten.
He was beaten by Cadwallader at
Falling Waters, byShields at Winches.
ter, by Milroy in the Mountains, by
Fremont in the Valley, by Porter and
other Generals in all the severe battles
during the seven days before Rich
mond, by Banks at Cedar Mountain,
and by Mcdowell last week near Cen
t%reville, by Pope at Manassas. Not a
single signal victory in the field attests
his fighting qualities. He has cut off
detachments, surprised posts, and done
wonders in that way. In fact, he has
very little tactical skill, and his ideas
of a battle are confined to hard fight
ing all day and marching off at night.
1.-The and Longstreet undertake to fight
a pitched battle at Manassas against
our whole army, he will lose 1T, unless
Lee or Davis should happen to be in the
field to direct tho m%anoeuvres, as we
suspect they were OF Saturday.

BY DAISY.
Hurrah for the gallant hero,

Hurrah for the gallant hero,
Whom victory loves to cheer;
Veneer we hear old Stonewall's name,
We know that conquest's near;
For never yet hath dark defeat
His waving banners lowered,
Though many a battlefield proclaims
Where foeman fed empowered.
"Thank GoD for the victory"
Are words we often hear,
And the Almighty arm he trusts
Seems ever, ever near; .
For more than all the deeds he does,
He adds the Christian name,
Which ever is the brightest charm
To grace the warriors fame.
Firm of spirit.-frec of soul,
On each field of purple gore,
A weight of glory crowns his arms,
Still greater than before;
And the valiant men that follow
Mid the dangers dark and wild,
Know the leader victory claims
Her dearest, noblest child.
With the cunning of the fox,
And courage's restless eye,
They know that danger hovers near,
But danger they defy,
And though the foe in thousands
May gather DER their way,
Their brave hearts never falter,
AS they hasten to the fray.
Onward still by nights dark shades,
Or meath the burning SUN
Battle after battle fought,
And all are nobly won;
Then need we doubt that traitors breath
Shall longer faint the ir,
Or t~yrant's bloody sword be waved,
Der land so bright and fair

Gen. B. was Colonel of the I'd Tennes-

until the close of the Mexican war.
His reputation as q civilian is so we'll
