A Republican Paper Defending Demo
Gratis.
The Springfield Republican rebukes
its party papers which are heaping
abuse upon Democrats, and stigma.iz-
ing them as disloyal, as follows:
1--WE insist this is no time to heap re.
proaohes upon the Breckinr,dge Democ-
racy, and to stir them to useless exas-
peration, while 60 many thousands of
them are indicating their loyalty at
the cannon's mouth. And there Is an-
other consider All, n Which should have
weight with the Republicans in per.
suading TO this wise forbearance. The
Breckenridge Democrats are submitting
10 the severest possible test of PARROT.
Ism. Tue war is now by act OF Con-
gress a war Of confscation and eman-
c'pation. The Democrats opposed both
these measures a. unconstitutional and
unjust, as calculated TO ALLEVIATE the I'm.
ion men at the South, and give strength
and unity to the rebellion. But these
measures having become the law, they
acqniesce, and ~,ll stand by the gov
.rnment and fight the war through on
th tasls, much a. they depreca,e the
pol cy. We do not hear that any Dem.
ocra,io SOLDIER or general has lett the
q Id because the var has been an aboli-
ton war. The Democracy should be
honored for meeting tbi. severe test of
LOYALTY with suon firmness."

The Latest News.


We gather but few items of news from our ex-
changes.
There are indications about Richmond of restless
ness on the part of the enemy. He appeared in
small force at the White House on the Pamunky
on Saturday last and drove in our pickets. 1t is
rumored that Mcclellan has removed some of his
forces higher up the river.
A portion Of Popes army is still in Culpepper,
laying their hands upon every thing they choose to
steal. At Fredericksburg the reign Of terror had
commenced. The Yankees were still at Winches-
ter, and some of Pope's cavalry are said to have
been in the valley.
The Richmond Dispatch says that the cartel for
the exchange of prisoners was signed on the 22d,
by Gems. Hill and Dix. This does not agree with
the Eaquirer's former statement that negotiations
had been broken off on account of the condition
that private citizens should not be arrested being
proposed.
IIalleck has been appointed by Lincoln Comman.
der in-chief of his land forces
From the West, we learn that the Yankees were
advancing into Mississippi.
The grand army of General Bragg is said to be
moving Northward. 1t is said that the people Of
Memphis will soon have cause to rejoice. Several
officers had resigned in Curtis army on account Of
the slavery policy of Lincoln.

THE GOVERNOR,

W. doubt much whether there are many of our
citizens better qualified to make us Governor than
Col. Vance. He is, in all his sympathes, North

him from infancy up, tend lrresstably to make him.

the claims Of Colonel VIM. johnson, glory justnow
they d. not because he is really so, or that they
think so-for they know the contrary-but because
they are determined to have and keep up their par
ty organization, and know of other means Of do
ing it. inasmuch as Col Vsnce's name was brought
before the people through open, public meetings,
without reference to party trickery or machinery,
and then by the Standard and other papers in the

just little touch Of the "old Werginny," by way
of little upper-ten double F. F. V-ism-these CON.

out "Bly johnson" whom they-that conclave-
seek to stuff down the threats of the gullible as an

Truly, it does prove them as thorough political

against these politicians. John Kerr soas Wing,

what became of him as such? Judas Iscariot aoas

All fell from their high estate. Is not the decep-

Johnston's name, perfectly apparent? "A man is

itical criterion towit Mr.. JOHNSON has, for more
than year. learn, been acting with the old polt-

assurance to mention his name in connection with
