Men cannot be expected to perform impossibilities,

arising from this knowledge, we believe they mu be-
But it would be looking for mpossibtes indeed, to

go into any contest with the foregone conclusion that

that will pervade the ranks of brave men here on

BE-" The rebels have doubtless aimed
at, and to some extent have accomplish
ed brilliant dashes through the divisions
constituting General Pope's command,
rushing in here with small squadron of
cavalry, there with a powerful army,
capturing or destroying stores, breaking
up the railroads, bridges ETC., keeping
the Unionists, in a constant state of
alarm, and wherever opportunity offered,
assailing separate detachments with
vastly superior numbers. Their init
mate knowledge of the country, their
agility, their audacity, and we may add,
their hunger and desperation, have ena-
bled them to do this with too great sue
cess. 1t was the course adopted by the
Numidians, with their clouds of light
armed cavalry, in the Jugurthian war,
until the stern disciphnarian and sharp
eyed Metellus put himself at the head of
the Roman legions. 1t is essentially an
African style of warfare, and has accom-
plished no more than those who resort to
it usually do for time. In fact, it is
a virtual confession of inability to main
tain the contest in an open field. 1t
must be met by equally cunning and dar-
ing strategems on our part, whenever we
shall take the initiative, and keep taking
it. The I" Yankees have some reputa-
ton for being clever at trickery; but the
truth is, their genius in that line has
hardly yet come into exercise, while the
Confederates appear to have had mon
epoly of it. We do not recommend the
display of false flag as those land
pirates acted, to the severe loss of a new
Jersey brigade. Let them enjoy the bad
eminence of resortiug to such infamous
devices, But we do say, to harrass the
foe by day and by night, to break up his
communications, cut off his communica-
tons, and demoralize his troops, are
among the recognized rules of war which
must be put in practice good deal more
than they have been, if the Union cause
must triumph.-Cn. Com.

Their Hearts We're in it.

IF a single ounce Of lint had not been
actually needed in the hospitals on the
Potomac. the excitement Of Sunday to
supply that and other articles would still
be most noteworthy The feeling of the
community, not only those of sympathy
and compassion for the wounded, but in
regard to the war, and grand manifes-
tation Not merely in the city, but for
miles around it, single word, the brief
est notice, was sufficient to call forth
thousands of willing hands to work, and
equally willing contributions ofthousends
of dollars; and in a very few hours the
collection of supplies secured was large
enough apparently to meet the wants of
an army fora long war The fine i'm
pulse, too, took the form of systematic
operations to remarkable extent. ~
The really astonishing results were ac-
complished without unnecessary confu-
sion The noble impulses found bust
ness habits and quick witted ingenuity to
carry out their purpose in quite order
ly manner. The packages were duly
made up and forwarded to the various
depots ready to receive them; from these
they reached the central station, and at
night all the trains loaded with the i'm
mense Accommodations which the zeal of
patriotism, love, and humanity so quick
" gathered, were rolling away to tell
the suffering soldiers that, sadly as they
arc missed, they are never forgotten for
a moment at home-BOStoR Transcript.

SEVENTH CONGRESSIONAL DIsTRICT-
Harvey d. Scott, of Terre Haute, has
been placed on the track as candidate
for Congress in the It'll District. This
is most excellent choice and he ought
to be elected, and we hopehe viii be. Mr..
Scott is possessed of every qualification
to make an efficient member of Congress
possessed of the purest morals, the most
nnhinching integrity, and the most UNI
Improbable loyalty, no man who res
poets these virtues, can long hesitate in
his decision to cast his vote for Scott in
preference to Voorhees,, who is by no
means his peer in any of these quah6ca-
tons. In mental abilities, Mr.. Scott is
much the superior man. He will give

Congress, an extensive ventilation. i

-rbe ,nlnion of an old Democrat.

The opinion of an Old Democrat.K
EDS. JoURNAL;-Many persons are ask
ing the question why the democrats of
old warrick are so split up, and why
they are not supporting the Democratic
ticket. The reasons are obvious, and
can be explained in this way: Hereto
fore, in times of peace, we have submit
ted to leaders to make ticket to suit,
and we would support it, supposing it
was all right When Breckenridge was
nominated, majority of the democrats
of Warrick voted for him with pure mo-.
tives and honest hearts. We find, by
following the leaders of that party, that
we voted for traitor, and that traitor
GUS party, calling themselves democrats,
/ are now trying to destroy the best gov
/ eminent made by man. Instead of being
democrats, they have violated the vital
principle of Democracy; hence we can't
return to the old party, as some OF those
claiming to be leaders of the so called
Democratic party propose. As the Doug
las wing of the party never acas nor ever
toiH be in power, and as the Republican
party have become extinct, we arc de-
termined to know no party but the UNION
party, until this wicked and gigantic re
bellion is crushed Then we may return
to such political parties as our best judg-
ment may dictate. Democratic princl-
pies are what we want to carry out, as
on that principle was our Government
formed, and on that only can it stand
But parties have failed and almost ruin
ed our Government There is better
and more noble work for all loyal mel
to do now than to hunt up organized Pc
litical parties l have always, and eyel
expect to be, in a true sense of the
word, A DEMOCRAI. 81

Mr.. Foote and the Navigation of the
Mississippi.


We read in holy writ that once upon a
time the devil took our Lord to the top
of a very high mountain, and then and
there offered Him all the kingdoms of the
world on condition that He would fall
down, and worship him. There were
many objections to hisproposed arrange
ment of his sooty majesty, one of which
was that the devil had no kingdom thus
to bestow
On par with this proposition of the
devil, as recorded in the gospels, in that
of the Hon. Henry s. Foote, in the rebel
Congress, offering to the people of the
Northwestern States their navigation
of the river Mississippi on condition that
they will desist from the further prosecu-
ton of the war There are many objec-
tons to the proposition of Mr.. Foote, as
IN that of his great prototype, the devil
one of which is that the Confederates
possess but very small portion of the
Mississippi to offer to the people of the
Northwest as condition precedent to
stopping the war and acknowledging the
Independence of the rebellious States,
There was time, indeed, when Mr.
Foote and his confederates could have
made this offer with some little grace,
and that was when they possessed the
control of the Mississippi almost from
the mouth of the Ohio to the Gulf o f
Mexico sfaa s
But what did they do then2 Before
hOstilities were commenced; before the
Presidents proclamation calling for
seventy-fve thousand volunteers had
been issued; before the keel of gun
boat was laid, or a ram dreampt of; while,

filled with men who were anxious to give
to the South almost every right she
claimed; while public meetings were be-
ing held and petitions to Congress were
being circulated asking that the institu-
tons of the South should have additional
guarantees; while, we say, all this was
transpiring, and before hostilties had COM
menced, Mr. Foote's felllow-rebels we're
engaged in erecting batteries at Vicks-
burg, at Helena, at Napoleon, and at
Memphis, for the purpose of firing into
the peaceful and unarmed steamers en-
gagged in lawful and legitimate COM
merce, some of which steamers were
seized and their cargoes plundered.
This was the guarantee which the rebel
States offered to the people of the great
Northwest at time when they had it in
their power to prove their friendship if
they were inclined to be friendly. The
people OF. the Northwest now tell General
Foote and his Congress that they intend
to haze the free navigation of the Mississ
ippi, not as favor but as right Never
will they consent to accept, as the price
of their humiliation, that to which they
are entitled by every consideration of
right and ofjustice-N a. Ledger e.
Or in the language of Gov. Yates,
"the great free Northwest will possess the
free navigation of the Mississippi or they
will make its shores perpetual charnel
house" The proposition of Gen. Foote
was prompted by the knowledge that the
confederacy had but small tenancy in
the Mississippi He must have thought
we were anxious to sell out up here. We
are just getting ready to whip them and
:, we viii do it.
