The BATTLE OF FAYETTEvILLs,--The
result g3the defeat of HindmaR's forces
in Northwestern Arkansas, an account of
which we published yesterday, will prove
of more importance that viii at first
strike the MIND Of the reader.
1T Is well known that the rebels had
for seene time been bending every effort
to force their way into Missouri, for the
sake of obtaining supplies, the provisions
in Arkansas, in the vicinity Of Van Bu-
rem and on the border of the Indian Ter
ritory having been entirely exhausted.
Defeated in this purpose, the rebels
will be forced to fall back beyond the
Arkansas River, and even into Texas
Gen. Scho6eld's army, acting in con-
cert with the forces at Helena, the whole
State of Arkansas must soon be COM
pletely in our power, and with the rise
ofthe river the last vestige Of rebeldom
may be swept from the State. The skies
are Frightening.

A New KIND OF UNIoNIsM-The fol
lowing paragraph appeared in the letter
Of Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Journal, the other day, and
shows whittier the conservative ele-
ment that the Journal so delights to talk
about is drifting. If the President per-
sists in his emancipation policy, urges
this writer, the conservatives will have
but the alternative of revolution or SUBJ
mission-and he takes particular pains
to put revolution first. He adds, that
the President and Secretary of War riU
persist We conclude, therefore, that the
conservatives, of whom this correspon-
dent presents himself as mouth piece,
will revolutionize. We have always re-
. garded revolutions as. the work of radi-
% Gals, and are somewhat surprised that
the conservatives contemplate so sudden
conversion to that they have been SO
bitterly denouncing. In commenting on
the result of the recent elections, the
Journal correspondent says:
The entire North has declared in favor
of the views expressed in this letter.
Their verdict yet rings in our ears.
Should the policy of the Administration
disregard that verdict; should the Eman-
cipation policy be urged on, and the
standard Of military law be still full
high advanced what, in such case, will
become the duty of conservatives I'm
deniably, in this event, revolution or sub
mission is the alternative. Now | am
free to publish that l am advised from
very high sources that the President and
Secretary of War tciH persist in their
policy This intelligence is not what we
had hoped or xpected-alas, no; far,
very far from such persistence was the
future way of the President anticipated

The ESCAPE or SroSEwAIL JAcKsoS.-This
famous re- bsl officer has thus far succeeded in
escaping from the valley Of Virginia, and car
rying of about $500 prisoners Of war along
with his army. The plans Of the governments
after the disaster to Banks columns, caused by
the ntrigues Of the radicals in Congress, for the
capture OF Stonewall Jackson, returning from
his Maryland expedition, were excellent. Gene
raj Shields was to advance by the road from
Front Royal through the Lursy valley to the
Mountain Gap, near Port Republic, where he
was to intercept the forces Of Jackson who
might escape Fremont, and cut of the retreat
Of the remnant, while Fremont, with q larger
body, was to secure the main force Of the rebel
leader. Shields division had to march longer
distance by twelve miles than Fremont's, and
over roads inferior to the turnpike Of the val
ley, which was the line Of Fremont's advance.
General Shields, however, arrived at Port Re-
public so much sooner than Fremont that Stone
wall Jackson, who kept Fremont amused with
Z comparatively insignificant rear guard, was
able TO pouncs upon Shields and overpower his
forces before Fremont was even in time to assist
him, much less 70 capture jackson.

GIDEON WELIEs-A great deal has been said
and written against Gideon Welles. Many
people have found fault with him and called
him names. Some have assailed him because
he wears a long. silvery beard and Is the hand
soonest old patriarch in the country. Others
have objected to his two and half per cent
transactions with brothcr-in-law Morgan as IL
the Scriptures did not call man s'worse than
an infdel'' who did not 'prsvide for his own
household" Others still have abused him be-
cause he would not resign when everybody
wished bin to leave. Perhaps we have written
something Of this sort ourselves before now.
At any rate, Gideon Welles has at last done a
good thing. He has written a letter to Con-
gress abou. our navy, our future and the neces-
sity OF iron-clad vessels. which exceeds any
document ever issued from the department
over which ho has control. This atoncs for a
good many Of the past shortcomings. Every
body must now let Welles mp for little
while. Until he does something ridiculous
enough to counterbalsnce this letter, we, and
all the rest Of mankind, must .bclong to eide
on's band"

THE COUNTRY AND THE WATERING Places
The thermometer stood at eighty-ive in the
shade and in the coolest part Of our Office yes
terday. We never get excited ut the HERALD
Office, and, all our employees being persons Of
provoking GOODNESS, we are justified in saying
that the HERALD Office is the coolest, as the Til
b,tne Office is the hottest, spot in the city. The
thermometer, therefore, hints watering places
aud country residences very strongly. We
have no doubt that after the Fourth of July
there will be regular stampede to the rural
districts. Our advertising columns are already
filed with notices Of Country Board" and all
the watering places worth visiting are adver-
tised there. So, while we advise all who can
to leave for the country, we are able to tell
them, also, where to go.
number Of passengers from New Orleans
arrived by the first steamer from that city.
Yesterday q telegram informed NJ that the
Provost Marshal at Memphis was bes;esed with
applicants for passes to go North. Many of
these people will be found at our watering
places this summer. BY the Fourth of July
we shall capture Charleston, Mobile and
Savannah and it is Of the utmost i'm
portance that gentlemanly provost mar
shals shall be appointed at these places,
so that the inhabitants can come to onr water
ing places also. Sulphur springs will take the
treason out Of any secessionist. Let . rebel
battle at Long Branch, and he will be washed
as white as wool, personally and politically.
The Southern people were deprived of our wa
tering places last year, and this almost bred a
rebellion against the rebellion. General Ma
gruder used to be very gentlemanly man
while at Newport but a. soon as he was block
AIDED at Yorktown, and had to drink secession
whiskey instead Of Newport wines, he deterio-
rated into bad general and worse swearcr
Can any ono deny that visit to Newport
would cure Magruder. Why, then, would not
the same remedy cure other rebels? Therefore
ruralizing is evidently step towards reunion.
Comfort and the Union, summer heats and Sc
cession, are inseparable. Henceforward, then,
let the ordinary people of the North and the
South exchange watering places for cannon
balls, and display their military evoutions
only in "Les Lanciers" The leaders Of the re-
bellion. however, like JEFF. Davis, must be
punished in another way, that will be warn
ing for all future time.

Our CRY Posr OFrIcE.-On Thursday last,
in an article upon our city Post Office, we
stated that Postmaster Wakeman had adopted
the motto Of "politics first qualifications
afterwards" as his rule in the discharge
Of old clerks and the appointment Of
applicants. Yesterday, however, we felt
bound to take back this statement, as we were
assured, upon the very best authority, that
Mr. Wakeman's principles and practice just re-
versed this rule, and that his motto really was,
qualifications first, politics afterwards" Our
paper, with this correction, had hardly been
printed before we were deluged by IN army
OF Post Office clerks discharged by Mr.. Wake
man, each bearing a certificate that he had
served faithfully In the Post Office for five,
eight, ten or twelve years, and each exhibiting
to us, in addit on to this certificate compliment
tary letters from heads Of departments and the
special Post Office Agent, showing that his dis
charge was caused not by lack Of capacity or
honesty, but simply because Of his democratic
principles.
Now-although we say II who should Motive
are the most charitable and benevolent, good
natured and ob.iging parsonage in the news
paper world. We always state what we
believe to be facts. We always correct
ourselves when we find ourselves to be wrong.
We always correct our corrections when we
discover that we have been humbugged. We
thought we had done our duty when we made
our first statement in regard to the removals.
We cheerfully published our second statement
when we were assured that we were mistaken,
and thought that we had done our duty again
We confess that now We are somewhat bothered
what to do. We have seen the long ranks Of
discharged clerks all fine looking fellows
extending, in Post Office window queue, away
from our editorial rooms TO the nearest drink
ing (soda water) saloon. We have perused the
certificates and letters. Mr.. Wakeman, who Is
a very efficient man II the politicians would
only let him alone, seems to be caught in .
tight place by this multitudinous array Of per-
sonal and documentary evidence. We shall
wait until we hear from him upon the subject,
and then decide the case. II he writes TO Us
let him remember that brevity Is the soul Of
wit In warm weather.
