PEKILOUS EXPERIMENT.
rom the Nashville Union

The history Of our country shows that il
is dangerous thing for public man to make
partisan opposition to the Government dur
ing the war; With the great mass of the
people, the motto is, "Our country, right or
wrong" is maxim not to be questioned -
and when the Government is in peril they
fly to its support, without inquiring nicely
into the merits OF the case, just as one would
rush without questioning, to the aid of q par.
ent or son, whose lifo was in danger The
reason Of this is that all men feel instructive.
ly rs it were that even If their Government
be in the wrong, in a given quarrel, yet il il
is to be destroyed they fall with it, and thus
they defend it from sclfintorest as well AZ
the more exalted feeling Of patriotism. Hence
the politician who runs counter to this almost
universal feeling in great and perilous war,
is in great danger Of utter political ruin. The
history Of the Hartford Convention furnishes
a memorable example ofthis fact. Although
its members were renowned for talent and
character, they made themselves utterly od-
ious in the eyes of the people by their con-
duct. Mr.. Vallandigham, a smart but ex-
ceedingly vain, elfconceited and shallow
man, mistaking notoriety for fame, seems
ambitious Of following the example Of the
Hartford Conventionists, and even of going
far beyond the point to which they WENT
lie aspires to be the scourge Of the Admins.
tration, under the belief that his popularity
will always enable him to carry his Congress
sonal District during the war. and then after
the Union is restored, the gratitude Of con-
soldated South, With the aid of few North
ern doughfaces, will enable to obtain at least
q seat in tho Cabinet or at least foreign mis-
sion. Let him beware. 1t requires a sharp
er brain, and stcadier nerve than his to
play such part. His head is in the lions
mouth. He holds wolf by the ears. Tho
crime he is committing will neither be for.
gotten nor forgiven. No man can oppose the
Government of his country factiousy in time
of war with impunity.

FAREWELL.

IIark, the drums of war are sounding;
Hark, the black -mouthed cannons roar
Forward, Northern soldiers, forward
Fight as fought the brave of yore; p.
Fight till every foe is yanquishsd.
Who shall dars oppose the right9
Fight for God, for man. for country,
In the cause Of Justice fight. .. ...
And when deaths fierce bolts shall rattle
Round about thy manly brow, -.H a.
In the raging storm Of battle ,,...r
They may lay thee bleeding low,
Still let not the thought distract thee,
Faith shall every fear dspel;
Shrink not, though in tears we bid thee
Farewell soldier, fare the-well.
Thou art strong enough to bear it;
God has sealed for this thy heart;
Heed not thou though tears rush burning
Down full many apallidiace.
Take farewell kiss and tear thee
From affections warm embrace;
Pause not for the drums are sounding
Forward ere 1t Is too late
Soon fierce and final struggle
Shall decide thy country's fate
Forward in the path Of duty,
And remember those who fell. o..
In that hour when treason trembled.
lIark, the drums that doubly swell
Loudly call the on TO battle
Farewell soldier, fare the well. .....

CLEVER TRICK OF DoG.--A Newfoundland
dog belonging to workman was attacked
by small and pugnacious bulldog, which
sprang upon the unoffending canine giant,
and after the manner of bulldogs, "pinnsd"
him by the nose, and there hung in spite Of
all endeavors to shake it off. However the
big dog happened to be clever one, and
spying pallful Of boiling tar, he fastened
toward it and deliberately lowered his fss in
to the hot and vicious material. The bull
dog had never calculated OH such reception,
and made its escape as fast as it could run.

COMFORT FOR TIE DRAFTED. exchange
has the following, addressed to those now
shaking in their boots, in apprehension OF
the coming draft, which cannot fail to prove
encouraging and consollng:
But suppose you are draftcd-do not,
we beg you, whine or cry about it. Do not
make arrangements for your funeral, nor fret
yourself about whom yeur wife or sweet
heart will marry when you are gone. If you
must needs go to the war it is only for nine
months and it by no means follows that you
will be shot at, during the whole campaign.
Perhaps you may be detailed to guard bag
gage trains in the rear, or to coax the food OF
those who have a good stomach for 6ght--
who knows. Even if you should by any
means be involved in battle, the result will
not necessarily be fatal, for it will be a very
sanguinary fight, indeed, il one in ten gets
hit by ball or shell. There is hope fol you.''

Editor HAwK-EYE:-Tne Daily Argus, print.
ed at Burlington, has made two attacks upon the
Rev. VIM. Salter. In the first attack he charges
him with crime; and, in the second attack, be
not only charges him with crime, but calls him
an "unmitigated villain" and charges that "for
several days before the 18th Regiment left, he
was engaged in exciting the men to mu.iny, and
endeavoring to create trouble in the regiment
that he Uas conspicuous IN this; of advising the
soldiers to mutinous conduct. 1t is charged that
''the mutiny was accomplished" and then he
asks, "who will be responsible for the fate Of the
mutineers?" This question is answered in this
style: mo one but this canting hypocr;k .do in.
cited them to na'ainy." te
If these charges against Mr.. Salter are just
the public should know the facts-none of which
have Seen revealed by the Argus. now de-.
mand the facts upon which the Argus basis its
charges. The public will not rest satisfied nutil
the facts are furnished. The common opinion
is that these charges are false, and that these
chivalrous gentlemen who edit the little Argus,
have selected as their victim q man whose reli
gious principles would not allow him to be pro-
voked to violence, and whom they might hope to
ssssii with impunity.
The people of Burlington have known Mr. Sal
ter for near fifteen years as faithful pastor, a
consistent christian, and mos. kind to the poor
and needy. He has been known as always loyal
to his Government and charged often with toe
much zeal. Why he is now charged with trea.

Dubuque Democrat on the Traitors.
We make the following extract from letter
of Capt. N. N. Hayden, of the Dubuque Battery,
which we find published in the Dubuque Times
of that city. Many of our citizens will remem-
Der Mr.. Hayden as an Engineer on the Des
Moines River Improvement, and as Democratic
politician of the strictest sect. He says:
"While thus the great heart of the Union is
in deep distress, peace and happiness destroyed,
peaceful homes made desolate by this most un-
holy rebellion, and the patriot in the field hears
nothing but the constant clash of arms, the
groans of the dying and wounded soldiers Even
in this hour OF terrible anguish in your city and
other points in the North, we find men sympa-
thizing with rebels there who stand ready to
strike for desolation, carnage and death, for the
destruction of the entire fabric-of Americas
proudest boast. l trust the government will
soon cease to tolerate this class of individuals
and will place them where none will modest OF
make them afraid.
The care.worn soldier in the field, in the camp
in the enemy's country, separated from kindred
and friends, willing at any moment to make the
greatest sacrifice that man can make, even Of
his own life, for the perpetuity Of the govern
ment as it was; willing and anxious to enforce
any order of the President, the tendency Of
which is to crush out the present rebellion and
restore peace to our distracted country; these
men, patriots and soldiers, will never quit the
field until every traitors voice and hand is made
.mpotent for evil,"-[Gate City.
